stand back, let me come

Chapter 191 Chapter 191: Chaos in Xiaocheng (31)

Zhai Le didn't hear the meaning behind Shen Tang's words.

He also thought that Shen Tang was simply sympathizing with the people who died tragically, and he sighed: "With such high strength, not to mention these ordinary people, even I dare not say that I will be safe and sound when I land, most likely I will lie in bed for three months with injuries." Five days..."

Zhai Le or the seventh-class public officials are so miserable, let alone those ordinary people who are sick?Now I can only pray that they don't suffer too much pain before they die, and the rest—

It's really beyond the reach of the whip, and there is nothing I can do to help!
Thinking of this, Zhai Le wished to smash the cover to pieces with his fist, but he couldn't rush out to stop it without saying anything.The enemy's army and horses are abundant in food and grass, and they are full of hundreds of exhausted remnants, rushing out is to give someone a head.

Shen Tang said: "I don't mean that."

She would not naively think that a large living person would be thrown out by the catapult, and they would be safe and sound after crossing the high city walls. cause a disease."

Hearing the word "epidemic", Zhai Le's scalp instantly went numb.

He said: "Epidemic, epidemic???"

Zhai Le looked at the gate of Xiaocheng in surprise and fear.

I don't know if Shen Tang's words gave him some kind of hint, or if it was a psychological effect, he felt that the city wall of Xiaocheng under the night was like a gigantic beast curled up on the ground trembling with weak breath.

Facing the minions exposed by the rebels, there is no resistance.

Shen Tang said: "What's so surprising about this?"

Zhai Le asked: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Shen Tang: "After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe."

She just thought about why all those people are sick?It is normal to have three or five out of ten. After all, in the current environment, the elderly and children are struggling to survive, coupled with insufficient resistance, the probability of getting sick is higher than that of young adults.But—the people thrown into Xiaocheng all have sick faces, which is very wrong!

It doesn't look like they were randomly captured by the rebels, but they seem to have been carefully selected one by one.Once this idea is born, other guesses will be logical and follow suit.Why did the rebels choose a group of sick people and throw them into Xiaocheng?

If it's just for deterrence, which commoner is different?
Why spend more time alone?
Unless, they are deliberately releasing sick people!
I immediately remembered that sentence.

"Although this statement is not absolute, but carefully observing the lives of the people after every natural disaster and man-made disaster, there is some truth to it. Most of the diseases are related to drinking unhealthy water and eating contaminated food. Coupled with the scurrying of rats and mosquitoes, it is very easy to break out Massive disease."

Natural disasters such as floods, man-made disasters such as war.

There are no natural disasters now, but man-made disasters are just around the corner.

Xiaocheng was besieged by the rebels, and the people in the city not only had to face the threat of the rebels, but also faced crises such as drinking water and food.Also trapped are not only the people of Xiaocheng, but also animals, such as snakes, insects, rats and ants.They are so hungry, what food can't they eat?

Zhai Le was stunned for a long time.

He knew that natural disasters and man-made disasters are prone to rampant diseases, but he never thought about food and drinking water. He heard the family Chinese medicine practitioners say, "Husband plague is not a disease, not wind, not cold, not heat, not damp, but There is a strange feeling between heaven and earth."

In layman's terms, the plague is related to the evil energy between the heaven and the earth. When the evil energy enters the body, the disease will be born. People with weak health, such as the elderly and children, are most likely to be affected.What is evil spirit?It is estimated that it is the same as the Qi of heaven and earth, Wen Qi, and Wu Qi.

It's just that the qi of heaven and earth can be transformed into literary qi and martial qi for people to use, which is a beneficial qi, while evil qi can only cause epidemics.

Different seasons have different strengths of evil spirits.

result--

The little friend said that the epidemic has something to do with drinking water.

Does he trust the doctor or his friends?

Zhai Le doesn't think about it for now.

He asked: "Those corpses...how could they cause the disease? No matter how hungry the people in the city are, they won't be able to eat right now."

After all, we haven't run out of ammunition yet.

By that time, the corpse will be almost rotten.

Shen Tang asked him back: "If you were a citizen or a soldier in the city, and so many corpses fell from the sky, would you let them rot and stink, or bury them anywhere, or save trouble and just throw them into the moat? If you bury them, the snakes and insects will die." Rat ants will pick up the dead body when they are hungry, if they throw it into the moat... the water in the moat is connected to the water of the people, can it be clean?"

At present, except for some well-to-do people who drink boiled water, the vast majority of people drink raw water.In their view, as long as the water quality is clear, it can be drunk, but they don't know that there are a lot of microorganisms and even parasites hidden in the water.

No matter how healthy the body is, it can't resist making it like this.

Zhai Le hesitated: "This..."

Didn't he want to say that he has always come here like this in the past?

There is no disease everywhere.

If drinking water is so dangerous, are there still living people in this world?It's just that Shen Tang said it so confidently that he couldn't help but be convinced.

"It doesn't matter whether the rebels did it intentionally or unintentionally..." Shen Tang paused at this point, his expression slightly sad.Either way, how could she help?He can neither turn the tide and repel the rebels, nor can he save the people of Xiaocheng from fire and water.

Suddenly, a strong sense of powerlessness made her sigh.

Watching a tragic tragedy happen but unable to reverse it, the bitterness in it is only clear to me.

She used to joke that Qishan has a lot of ability but is pessimistic by nature, and she can't understand the world, why not actively participate in it, choose a wise leader in her heart, assist with all her heart, and work together to calm the troubled times... Regardless of success or failure, it is better than sarcastic remarks it is good.

Thinking about it now, the clown was actually herself.

Now she seems to be able to understand Qishan's mood when he said, "There has never been a time when the situation is 'stable' in all directions."It wasn't that he was pessimistic by nature, but that she was young and passionate, and hadn't been beaten by real life yet, so she didn't know how heavy the word "pacify the troubled times" was.

[The old rivers and mountains are the new sorrows].

It's not that easy to pacify the troubled times.

In the end, there is only one sentence of emotion——

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

boy...

Before Shen Tang could finish his sigh, he was forcibly interrupted by Qishan's slap on the back of the head.She clutched the back of her head that was hurt from the beating, glared at Qi Shan angrily, and said, "Why did you sneak attack me?"

Don't talk about martial arts!
Qi Shan frowned: "What's your expression?"

Depressed as if to mourn for someone, seeing bad luck.

Shen Tang rubbed the back of his head: "Didn't I suddenly understand your state of mind at that time? Alas——but you hit me, and we are even. I won't apologize to you. Next time, be lighter."

If she hadn't been malicious, she might have wrung his hand off.

Praying: "..."

It took a while to understand what Shen Tang was referring to.

He couldn't laugh or cry: "You, a 12-year-old boy, feel sorry for this? It's not that you are too old to walk."

It's a shame to pretend to be old-fashioned.

Shen Tang: "..."

Qishan raised his eyebrows again, and teased her: "Youli is only twelve, and I am only 24. At this age, I start to feel that 'the end is not like, a young man'. What do you make Chu Wuhui feel?"

They are all young.

Youth means strength.

How can you not afford the words "pacify the world"!

The filial city in front of me is just the tip of the iceberg, a microcosm of the troubled times.They can't do anything about it now, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to in the future.Neither he nor Mr. Shen Xiaolang should be struck down by the difficulties in front of him without fighting spirit!

Shen Tang: "..."

For a moment, I don't know whether to complain about poor prayers, really never forgetting the dark and dark anytime, anywhere, or complaining that he took the wrong medicine and his blood boiled?

Thanks to Qishan's interruption, she escaped from the powerless and decadent mood, and subconsciously began to think about countermeasures.

The number of our own side is small, and there is almost no food and grass.

Fighting the rebels head-on is hopeless.

So, can we come around?
For example--

With the other way, return it to the other body?Or intercept their food team and harass them as much as possible?Or sneak into the city, contact the commander who is in Xiaocheng at this time, and remind him of the possible disaster?

Shen Tang hesitated.

In the end, I still need to discuss with Qishan a few times.

The outcome of the discussion is still unknown, but Yang Duwei, a man with red eyes, almost cried in public.He didn't expect that in such a desperate situation, there are benevolent and righteous people who are willing to run for Xiaocheng.

Shen Tang: "..."

Hey, if Captain Yang knew who had intercepted and killed the tax bank under his care, he would probably be furious and beat her on the head.

_(:з)∠)_
Qishan is interested in the first proposal.

Zhai Huan prefers the second one.

Yang Duwei denied the third one.

Several of their scribes and warriors could sneak into Xiaocheng without disturbing the enemy, but the soldiers following them could not. Without their command and dispatch, they would die if they met the rebels.As for the first and second, he was vacillating.

Zhai Huan: "..."

The difficulty of choosing is committed again, right?

Shen Tang muttered: "It would be great if we could encircle Wei and save Zhao."

Let the rebels take the initiative to withdraw their troops!
It's a pity that they don't know where the rebels are weak. The first and second plans are also based on harassment, and it is difficult to cause devastating damage to the rebels.It would be great if I could borrow my strength...

Leveraging...

Hit hard?

Something flashed through Shen Tang's mind suddenly.

She said: "Wait--I suddenly thought of a way, we might use our strength to attack our own shield...Let Zheng Qiao's family bite dogs! We have fewer troops, but there are definitely people with more troops , Isn’t Zheng Qiao that?”

Zhai Le said: "Zheng Qiao sent troops to help Xiaocheng?"

Zhai Huan also said: "It's unlikely."

The rebel army led by King Zhu suddenly rebelled and made a surprise attack. Zheng Qiao did not know when he received the news.Furthermore, although Xiaocheng is the state capital of Sibao County and the geographical location of Sibao County is also good, it is not so important that Zheng Qiao will take time to take special care of it.

In contrast, other lost ground is more important.

Shen Tang said again: "What if... the national seal is in Xiaocheng? Zheng Qiao has the national seal of Geng Kingdom in his hands, so the rebels are nothing to fear in his eyes, but once the national seal of Xiaocheng falls into the hands of King Zhu and other rebels , The situation is very different again! If Zheng Qiaoruo knows, he will definitely send troops to stop it immediately! As long as Xiaocheng can last until then, maybe there is a chance of survival!"
