Chapter 95: More cunning than a fox

"Da Niu, I'll give you a task now, you immediately go to the warehouse to load five hundred catties of Artemisia annua, rush to Tianmen Pass overnight, and personally deliver the medicinal materials to General Chu's hands. Can it be done? ”

Niu De nodded and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Feng.

"Although we taught them how to prevent infectious diseases when we were in the Tianmen Pass army before, after all, it has been a long time, you must remember to repeat it with General Chu, don't forget."

Niu Meng saw Niu De leading the horse straight to the warehouse, and also made a gesture to Xiao Feng.

"Brother Feng, my brother is walking alone at night, I don't worry, let me go with him."

Xiao Feng also felt that it was really dangerous to send someone to walk at night, so he took out twenty taels of silver from the cash box and stuffed it to Niu Meng.

"Don't save the money you should spend on the road, go early and return early."

Niu Meng was not polite, and followed Niu De with the silver.

After arranging everything, Xiao Feng was finally able to sleep peacefully.

But on the tower of the gate of Tianmen Pass, Chu Tianbi and Li Shan are the first and two big.

"Wang Hai, what are you talking about, there are also soldiers in the army who have malaria?"

Wang Hai knelt on one knee and clasped his hands into fists.

"General, we found a case at noon yesterday. However, please rest assured that the hussar battalion has allocated two tents according to the method taught by Dr. Xiao at the beginning, which are specially responsible for the care and supervision of the sick. ”

Li Shan took a sip of tea and sighed.

"Thanks to the rules that Xiao Feng set up when he was in the army, if the soldiers who contracted the epidemic were left in their respective camps as before, maybe how many more people would get this malaria."

Despite this, Chu Tianbi's wrinkled eyebrows still did not stretch.

"I hope it won't spread anymore, now there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the military, and several nearby counties can't purchase large quantities of Artemisia annua, so they can only resign themselves to fate."

As the two shook their heads and sighed, a sentry pushed the door open.

"Report to General Chu, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Niu Dehao, saying that there is a batch of important materials to be sent to the general in person!"

Niu Dehao? Isn't he the guy who came to Tianmen Pass with Xiao Feng in the first place!

Thinking of Xiao Feng, Chu Tianbi hurriedly stood up.

"Where's the person, take me!"

Li Shan felt that it would not be a trivial matter for Xiao Feng to send someone here, so he also followed Chu Tianbi to the front of the city gate, and with the first rays of sunlight in the morning, they saw the carriage beside Niu Dehao from afar.

"Niu Dehao? What is the reason you are here? ”

Chu Tianbi saw that the carriage behind him actually had a carriage, and thought that he had brought someone over.

Niu De got out of the car and made a move.

"General Chu, on the orders of Young Master Xiao Feng Xiao, I hereby send these five hundred catties of yellow artemisia to you, and I also ask you to personally accept it."

Let's say, Niu De pulled open the curtain of the carriage. A cart full of yellow artemisia was displayed in front of Chu Tianbi and Li Shan.

"Good, good, good!"

Chu Tianbi looked at the herbs in the car and shouted three times in a row.

"Come on, unload the artemisia to the grain station!"

With a wave of his hand, the two gatekeepers immediately rushed to the carriage and transferred the yellow artemisia to the baggage cart for the army.

"By the way, my lord, my young master Xiao also asked me to bring you a prescription, saying that divide the yellow artemisia into three coins and one dose, and give it to the soldiers before each meal, and the malaria will be cured within a week. Also, please isolate sick soldiers to prevent infection. ”

Chu Tianbi had already done this in the barracks, and now that the five hundred catties of yellow artemisia were delivered to his hands, he was already smiling.

"Come on, go and get Niu Dehao to go to the account room to pay the money!"

Niu De froze in place for a while, Xiao Feng only asked him to send things over, but he didn't say that he would take the money back, how dare he accept the money casually?

After thinking for a while, Niu Deyu recalled the way Xiao Feng spoke, and also learned to salute.

"General Xie Chu has good intentions, but my young master Xiao said that as a big Chu Erlang, it is right to serve the country, so I can't accept this money."

Seeing that the yellow artemisia had all been unloaded onto the baggage truck, Niu Dehao naturally didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately offered his farewell.

Looking at a cart full of goldenrod in storage, Li Shan sighed.

"Such a good son who cares about his family and country can't enter the court as an official, it's simply a loss for my Dachu."

"I don't think so."

Chu Tianbi shook his head, but his gaze never left the cart of Artemisia.

"What do you mean by that?"

"During the pandemic, he donated 500 catties of Artemisia annua to the soldiers of Tianmen Pass, saving thousands of lives. With such a great achievement, isn't it enough for Brother Li to write a letter to His Majesty? ”

Before the words fell, Li Shan laughed loudly, until his waist couldn't stand up with a smile, and then he couldn't hold back his smile and pointed to Chu Tianbi, who was patrolling around.

"You, you! If you read the art of war, you can even think of asking His Majesty to make an order himself! This time, I measured that his kid had a hundred dares and didn't dare to resist the order! ”

After that, Li Shan invited Chu Tianbi to go to the barracks to see the sick soldiers, but Chu Tianbi refused.

Li Shan saw that Chu Tianbi was still looking into the distance, so he also stopped.

"What, are you worried that the epidemic is rampant in the Guannei, and the Rong people will take the opportunity to invade on a large scale?"

Chu Tianbi snorted coldly.

"Worried? What is there to worry about, I Chu can put the words here. Sooner or later, tonight, later tomorrow night, the Rong people will definitely attack! ”

Li Shan looked at the rear barracks, and his face couldn't help but show worry.

"In this way, do you need me to retreat with the sick soldiers first, so as to relieve your worries?"

Chu Tianbi shook his head, with a fierce look on his face.

"There's no need for that."

"Someone!"

A soldier immediately arrived.

"What does General Chu command?"

"You go to the sick camp at once, and find me two who are not very sick and are in charge of guarding the gate at night. Tell the two of them again that if the Rong people attack in a big way, there is no need to resist, just shout that the Rong people are coming and run to a safe place. ”

Li Shan pointed at Chu Tianbi and shook his head.

"Eh, this art of war makes you read it even more cunning than a fox."

Chu Tianbi smiled ruthlessly.

"Don't Rong people like to take advantage of people's danger, just right! If they dare to come, see what kind of gift I have in store for them! ”
