433. Major factions support
After Du Bu Bu and Xu Shao came to this hill, they found that the hill was covered with a kind of wild fruit trees with red trunks, but almost all the fruits of these wild fruit trees had been picked, leaving only a lot of stump branches.
Du did not forget to look for a long time, and finally found a red fruit on these red wild fruit trees, and then took a bite, and found that this fruit really had a lot of water in it, but the taste was a little strange.
So Du did not forget to discuss with Xu Shao, found a few more fruits, took them back to the city together, and found three Langzhong to investigate together.
Among them, Lang Zhong, named Xu Sheng and Lu Qi, saw this red fruit, and naturally got used to it, and didn't want to look at it more, so they each said:
"This fruit is the life-saving fruit of the people, nothing special!"
And another Lang Zhong named Fu Nong said:
"This fruit is the root cause of the plague among the people, and I have repeatedly advised them not to eat this fruit, but no one believes me!"
When Du Bu Bu heard Fu Nong's words, he was also shocked, so he hurriedly asked:
"Doctor Fu, why do you say that?"
Funon peeled the fruit and explained:
"Lord Chief, you see, in this fruit, the yellow is translucent, and the juice is more fleshy and less fleshy, and when it is ripe, the taste is still sour, and it is because it contains countless Gu worms that the fruit is like this!"
Du didn't forget to look at this Fu Nong:
"Do you have proof that this fruit bears the source of the plague?"
Fu Nong replied:
"Lord Chief, can you give me a night's time, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow?"
Du didn't forget to nod:
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news tomorrow morning. ”
At this time, a soldier suddenly rushed in and knelt in front of Du Buyi and Xu Shao:
"Participate in the general system of General Du and Lord Xu!"
Du did not forget to wave his hand at the soldier and motioned for him to get up:
"What's the urgency, let's talk!"
The soldier said:
"More than a dozen people in the city have died of hunger and pestilence. ”
Du did not forget to say immediately:
"Take us to see it!"
So the soldier took Du Buyi and Xu Shao to the corpses of more than a dozen dead people, and found that these corpses were all yellow and thin, and the deaths were very miserable.
Du did not forget to question Xu Shao:
"Didn't I ask you to order the water from the official well to be given to the people?"
Xu Shao's face was a little ugly:
"But the water is for the people to drink, so what do our officers and soldiers drink?"
Du did not forget to shout at Xu Shao:
"I now order you to immediately give the water from the official well to the people, and then take out all the things in the treasury and distribute them to the people, and forbid the people to go to the hill outside to find wild fruits to eat, do you understand?"
Seeing that Xu Shao was still hesitant, Du did not forget to draw his sword behind him and pointed at Xu Shao:
"The emperor sent me to be the commander-in-chief, and he gave me the power to cut the prelude now, Xu Shao, if you don't obey the order, I will behead you now!"
When Xu Shao saw this, he knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed to Du Yifu a few times in a row, and said in his mouth:
"The general system spares his life, and the general system spares his life...... I'll have someone do it now!"
Then he ran to open the treasury.
At this time, it was already dark, and after Du did not forget to return to the mansion room, he was also tired, after all, he had not slept well for several days, and fell asleep on the bed.
In a dream, Du Bu Bu met a fairy, and at this time he was holding a colorful bottle in his hand, and said to Du Bu Bu Fu:
"Don't forget, I am the goddess of Wushan, this time the Emperor of Heaven ordered me to help you, you will soon have a catastrophe. ”
Du did not forget to smile at this time:
"Since the catastrophe is coming, I can't stop it, let it be, but the goddess, you are so beautiful. ”
At this time, the goddess suddenly smiled and disappeared.
Du Bu Bu immediately chased after him, but he didn't know how long he had been chasing, but he never saw the goddess again.
At this time, I suddenly woke up, only to know that it was just a dream, it was the fifth watch at this time, and the sky in Taiyuan City was also brightened early.
So Du did not forget to get dressed and went out to wash his face, and at this time there were already many people with cloth bags and buckets, lined up to the yamen, and began to wait for the government to distribute food and drinking water.
Seeing this, Du did not forget to wake up the prefect Xu Shao, and then asked him to start distributing food and water to these people with people.
At this time, a soldier suddenly took a letter and handed it to Du Buzhi, Du Buyi opened the letter and looked at it, it turned out to be a secret letter from the Ministry of War, which meant that even the entire Beijing division was short of soldiers and food, and the grain transported from Jiangnan to Taiyuan would take at least ten days to arrive, and the soldiers who could be recruited were only more than 10,000 people, and it would take more than five days to come here.
Du did not forget to inquire about the garrison of Datong Mansion nearby, only to know that the defenders of Datong Mansion were only more than 20,000 people, and there was also a shortage of water and food, which was not much better than the situation in Taiyuan City, and the soldiers of the other seven towns could not be mobilized.
After learning these news, Du Buyi had to look at the sky helplessly:
"God, are you joking with our Da Ming......? If we want food but no food, there is still a shortage of water, and there is a plague, in three days, I am afraid that the entire officers and soldiers and people of Taiyuan City will have starved to death before they have been broken by the Tatar soldiers......!"
Just as Du Buyi was complaining about the weather, Fu Nong suddenly held a piece of grass in his hand, and ran towards Du Buyi with a very excited expression.
After running in front of Du Buzhi, Fu Nong excitedly pulled Du Buyi's sleeve:
"General Du, I have found the herb to cure the plague...... I found it...... I found ......!"
Du didn't forget to look at Fu Nong, and then looked at the grass in Fu Nong's hand:
"Fu Langzhong, could it be that this grass can cure the plague?"
Fu Nong nodded happily:
"Yes, I didn't sleep all night last night, I tried wild fruits on that hill, and I found that after eating a lot of those wild fruits, my body also began to have red bumps, so I thought of an old saying, all things are mutually reinforcing, and where there is something that can produce plague, there must be an antidote, so I tried this grass, and sure enough, I cured the plague on my body. ”
After listening to this, Du Yi was also excited, and then happily grabbed Fu Nong's hand and said:
"Divine Doctor Fu, you are really the savior of our Taiyuan City, okay, then we will quickly find someone to pick this grass to eliminate the plague for the people!"
After a day, after eating the herbs, the thousands of people in the city who were infected with the plague had already begun to recover, and Du did not forget to order the prefect Xu Shao to take out the remaining wine and meat in the yamen to celebrate Fu Nong's work.
Just when everyone was drinking, someone suddenly came to report that thousands of unknown people appeared a few miles outside the city, looking at the monks, and there were many Taoist priests, and these people also pulled a lot of cars over.
After Du Buyi heard it, he immediately took the prefect Xu Shao and the chief soldier Xin Luan to the city tower.
When this group of people walked not far outside the city, didn't this be their apprentice Zhang Songxi with Wudang disciples, Shaolin abbot Huizhen with Shaolin disciples, and other sects in the rivers and lakes came?
Du did not forget to feel the feeling of signaling to the generals guarding the city, and then went out of the city to greet him in person.
When I got closer, I found that Xian'er and Sisi had actually come, and Sisi seemed to have brought all the seventeen elders of the Diancang Sect.
After Xian'er, Sisi, and Zhang Songxi hugged Du Buyi respectively, Du Buyi walked up to Huizhen and greeted him:
"Master Huizhen, why are you here?"
Hui Zhen replied:
"The family and the country are in trouble, our Shaolin Temple is naturally duty-bound, I didn't expect Du Gongzi your popularity to be so good, as soon as I informed them, none of the major sects were absent, they all volunteered to come with me, and they also knew that your Taiyuan Mansion was short of water and food, so all the major sects brought over the materials in their own sects. ”
Du was very happy at this time, and then saluted with these people in the rivers and lakes:
"Thank you so much for coming thousands of miles to Taiyuan Mansion to support, I thank you for all the officials and people of Taiyuan City and the imperial court!"
Immediately after saying that, he invited these people into the city.
In the middle of the night, Xian'er naturally went to Du Buyi's room to serve Du Bufu, rubbing Du Bufu's shoulders for Du Bufu, and said:
"Brother Du, do you guess how much food and water we brought here this time?"
Du Yi smiled and looked at Xian'er:
"Then how many do you say, I don't know!"
Xian'er pursed her mouth:
"Brother Du, let you guess, you can guess, okay?"
Du did not forget to recall:
"Thirty carts of water, fifty carts of grain?"
Xian'er shook her head:
"No, Brother Du, guess again!"
Du did not forget and guessed:
"Fifty carts of water, one hundred carts of grain?"
Xian'er stopped rubbing Du Yi's shoulders:
"Forget it, Brother Du, I don't think you can guess, I'll tell you!"
Du did not forget to hug Xian'er's waist:
"My good fairy, don't hang you Brother Du, my appetite, hurry up!"
Xian'er leaned her head on Du Buyi's shoulder:
"We came this time to bring 300 truckloads of grain and 250 truckloads of water!"
Du did not forget some doubts:
"But I see that there are only more than 100 cars you have had, how can there be so much food and water?"
Xian'er smiled:
"The rest of the materials are on the way now, and they are all volunteered by the people to help transport them, because we, the people in the rivers and lakes, are fast on our feet, so we are also coming quickly. ”
Du did not forget to kiss Xian'er's face:
"Xian'er, thank you so much this time!"
Xian'er glared at Du Yiyi:
"Brother Du, you are still so unserious, in fact, this time I have to thank Miss Duan Sisi the most, all the major sects are willing to help under her persuasion, and this time the most money and material money is also the Diancang faction!"
Don't forget to smile:
"I didn't expect Sisi to be not only kind-hearted, but even though she is in southern Yunnan, she still cares so much about the life and death of our Ming Dynasty. ”
Xian'er stretched her head to Du Bu and whispered in her ear:
"I think Miss Duan Sisi cares about you not forgetting, not Daming, right?"
Du Bu Bu took the opportunity to hug the white lotus and kissed it, and after the two kissed for a while, Du Bu Bu looked at Xian'er and said:
"But I can't forget that what I want most now is you, Xian'er!"
Xian'er actually blushed at this time:
"Brother Du, I want you too!"
The two hugged and kissed frantically, and began a long-lost reunion.
