Chapter 160: The Governor's Calculations
"There is still a lot to be done to control the epidemic in the city, but it is ......"
Speaking of this, Wu Yi, the governor of Hedong, suddenly lost his voice.
This made Hai Cheng a little anxious, and what he was most worried about now was the destruction of the city.
Hurriedly asked: "Admiral Wu, what is it?" Don't say half of it! ”
"Hey."
Wu Yi couldn't help but sigh, and then he replied: "But the smallpox epidemic is beyond human control, and these demons of the White Lotus Sect can't control it at all, and you, me, and my family, and even the people of the whole city, will be burdened by it." ”
"This is really a careless move, and you lose everything!"
Hai Cheng felt remorse in his heart and shook his head in a depressed mood.
His eyes couldn't help but light up, and he suddenly captured the key information from Wu Yi's words just now.
It's like a man in the water grabbing a life-saving straw, and he has to struggle.
As long as the smallpox epidemic in the city is controlled, the city can be defended, and if the city can be defended, the situation in the world may change.
He has grain and grass, a city, and soldiers, and it is not impossible for him to divide one side.
"Since the common people who have contracted the plague are the source of danger, it is better to take advantage of the night to drive all the people who have the plague of smallpox out of the city, and let them go to the scourge of the imperial army, only if they dare to accept it, the plague will surely spread in the barracks, and then they will retreat without a fight."
"Is it hurtful to do so? After all......"
Wu Yi was forced after all, and he didn't want to use this means to harm the imperial army, so he was a little hesitant.
When Haicheng said this, he had already guessed what he was thinking.
Wave your hand to stop: "Admiral Wu, put away your kindness to the soldiers of the imperial court!" ”
"Even if you and I are forced to come to this point, in the eyes of the imperial court, we are no different from the White Lotus Sect, and we are all traitors."
"What Lord Hai said is that tonight I will cooperate with my lordship to gather all those who have smallpox plague and their families and drive them out of the city."
Although Wu Yi was a little reluctant in his heart, he finally compromised.
He knew that Haicheng was telling the truth.
……
The soldiers rode out of range of the archers of the walls and shouted for a full day, but no one slipped out of the city.
So much so that when he ate at night, Jiang Hong felt that he had no appetite for eating.
Li Xing ate very deliciously.
Of course, it's not how good the food is.
But after being tired for so many days, I can finally eat hot corn porridge instead of dry cakes.
"Lao Li, your idea has no effect, why don't we send someone to dig up the soil and fill the river first!"
Digging up the earth and filling the moat was the basic operation of ancient warfare.
After all, the smallest moat is more than ten meters, and the longest can even reach more than a hundred meters.
If the river is not reclaimed to build roads, the suspension bridge and the stone bridge on which the people walk alone will not be able to guarantee the attack of the army.
"Your Highness, it's only been one day, it's normal if there is no effect, wait a minute."
Li Xing took a sip of porridge, smacked his mouth, and then replied.
Seeing what Jiang Hong wanted to say, Li Xing said: "No one is not afraid of death, even if they are skeptical of our words, they will fight, let our news fly for a while, and there will be gains." ”
"There is some truth in what you said, then I will wait, if no one sneaks out tomorrow night, we will prepare for the siege in advance, even if we don't attack the city, we can also deter the people inside."
Jiang Hong expressed his opinion.
This time Li Xing did not object.
Putting some pressure on the thieves in the city can indeed achieve the goal quickly.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true for persuasion.
Only with the appearance of the leader can more people believe it.
Jiang Hong had something in his heart, even if Li Xing enlightened, he still didn't eat dinner.
I didn't even sleep at night, so I had to patrol with the soldiers who patrolled at night.
Li Xing knew that Jiang Hong was under a lot of pressure after seeing that this incident was unusual.
So I didn't persuade him to rest, and if he was willing to patrol, he would patrol, and he would be treated as a decompression.
Jiang Hong patrolled, but Li Xing went to bed early.
I've been tired enough in the past few days, and I can't rest well during the march.
I don't know how long it took, Li Xing felt that someone was shaking him.
He opened his eyes in a daze, thinking it was dawn!
On closer inspection, it turned out that it was just an oil lamp lit inside the tent.
Before he could fully wake up, Jiang Hong's voice had already reached his ears: "Lao Li, you are really a god, just now, dozens of people came to the camp, according to them, there are hundreds of people outside the camp!" ”
Hearing that there were still hundreds of people, Li Xing couldn't help but feel excited, and the whole person also woke up completely.
He pushed Jiang Hong, who was still holding his shoulder, away.
pretended to be calm and said: "Oh, Your Highness, this is a little more trouble!" You are so excited, as a prince, you must have the determination to collapse on the top of Mount Tai and not change your face. ”
"Tarzan? Great Xia doesn't seem to have it! ”
Jiang Hong's focus is always different from that of normal people.
This made Li Xing a little speechless, and he could only cough embarrassedly: "Your Highness, you have to comprehend the spirit, I just use a random mountain name to describe it, which means that there is a stone mountain cracking in front of you, and the boulders on the mountain are rolling down, you can't panic, and even the expression on your face can't change." ”
"Lao Li, are you stupid to read, in that case, I will definitely run away! Otherwise, what if you are stoned to death? ”
Jiang Hong questioned Li Xing's far-fetched explanation.
When Li Xing heard this, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the prince's brain circuit.
Forget it, don't bother to continue the topic with him.
"Yes, Your Highness is right, you should run."
After a perfunctory sentence, in Jiang Hong's eyes, Li Xing corrected the topic back: "Your Highness, what is the situation with those people?" Was there a detailed interrogation? Are there any spies involved? ”
"It doesn't matter if he is a spy or not, this prince treats them with kindness, and they will not take revenge."
Jiang Hong expressed his opinion.
Li Xing listened and was obviously stunned.
This prince has a good pattern.
However, just in case, Li Xing decided to go and see those people in person.
In this way, under the leadership of Jiang Hong, Li Xing went to the camp where those people were arranged.
At this time, Jiang Hong had already arranged food for those people.
They didn't go into the tent, but by the moonlight, they devoured it outside the tent as if they hadn't eaten in their lives.
And everybody.
Seeing this scene, Li Xing had actually guessed the identities of these people in his heart.
However, he still leaned over, sat beside them, and said with a smile: "Brothers, my name is Li Xing, this time to recruit the deputy general of the White Lotus Sect, I am very relieved to see that you are sincerely coming to vote, are you satisfied with the food?" ”
These people saw that they were officials.
Quickly put down the bread in his hand and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Kowtow and say words of thanks.
