Song Yi

Chapter 156 Major Decision
Song Jun greatly reduced the order, which made Du Wenhao feel uneasy. He had a bad premonition, and what made him even more uneasy was that he obviously felt that the people around him were getting more and more closely monitored, and the manpower was also obvious. increased.

Even the Xiaoqi Battalion in the back has been mobilized frequently, all of which indicates that the Xixia people may have determined their location and are ready to attack.

Du Wenhao felt like a lamb among two groups of war horses. Once the two groups of war horses galloped and collided, he would be trampled into meat at any time.

After the value of his use has been greatly reduced, whether his bait must be preserved is no longer so important. Once he is hijacked by Xixia spies, Song Jun may kill himself in order to ensure the safety of the formula!

At this moment, the news that the Song army failed in its western expedition to Xixia and lost 20 troops spread in the streets and alleys of the capital, but there are various details.

And at this moment, General Gao came to visit.

This visit finally made Du Wenhao make an important decision.

That night, General Gao paid a surprise visit, saying that he had returned to the capital from the Xixia front line to coordinate military affairs, so he paid a visit to Du Wenhao.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they talked about fighting Xixia.Du Wenhao asked:
"I heard that our army was defeated in Xixia, isn't it?"

"Yes!" General Gao shook his head with a frustrated look on his face, and said:

"Our battle against the plague did not fully achieve the expected results. Although it was overwhelming at the beginning, but later on, the Xixia army learned to be cunning and avoided us. They did not fight against our army. They only sent a small group of troops to harass our army. Wherever our army went, the Xixia people voluntarily abandoned the city, and when they abandoned the city, all the food and grass in the city were taken away, and the water source was poisoned. We occupied all empty cities, and our army fought all the way to the capital. Stick to Xingqing, and you won't be able to attack for a long time."

"Don't we have plague weapons? Xingqing didn't capture them either?"

"That's right. Later, we found out from our spies' secret reports that during the previous Battle of Mingshachuan, Xia's army concentrated its forces to wipe out 2000 forwards of our army, and transported all the captured isolation suits and gas masks to Xingqing, the capital, for defense. Moreover, during the defense of Xingqing, they also summed up the method to deal with our plague weapons, so they have not been able to overcome it for a long time."

Du Wenhao thought to himself, throwing the corpses of patients who died of the plague into the city is not strictly a bacterial weapon. It is easy to think of a way to deal with this primitive bacterial attack method, so he didn't ask the Xixia people to use it. What is the way.

General Gao said: "We only found out later that the policy formulated by the Xixia people was to lure the enemy deep and fight to the death in Xingqing, the capital city. They enforced martial law throughout the city and equipped two thousand soldiers with the two thousand sets of isolation suits and gas masks. It is specially responsible for collecting and cremating the sick corpses thrown into the city, and brutally killing and burning all the people suspected of being infected in the city.

Therefore, although we threw a large number of infected corpses into the city, there was no large-scale plague outbreak in the city. "

Du Wenhao felt sympathetic. Although the Xixia people used this tactic of breaking the arm of a strong man, it was quite effective, and it was also a common method in ancient times to prevent the spread of plague.

The Xixia people have even used this trick, and they must be ready for a last-ditch battle, so they couldn't help worrying:
"In that case, it's time to retreat."

"Yeah, but General Xu and General Zhong have a estrangement, and they both want to fight for merit, so they didn't retreat and continued to attack Xingqing. Since our army drove straight in, the logistics supplies couldn't keep up, and the Xixia people concentrated their strength again. They harassed our grain and grass, and then, the army of Qin King from all walks of Xixia arrived, attacking from all sides, our army suffered heavy losses, especially General Xu's one, retreated all the way, and was finally besieged in Yongle City from all sides.

The Xixia army cut off the water source, because the water source in the city had been poisoned by the Xixia people, there was a shortage of water and food, the army mutinied, the soldiers opened the city and surrendered, the Xixia army invaded Yongle City, General Xu died in battle, and 20 soldiers died for the country! "

Historically, the Battle of Yongle City became a turning point in the Song-Xia War.After this battle, the vitality of the Song Dynasty was severely injured, and it was no longer able to attack Xixia on a large scale.

Du Wenhao felt sympathetic, the plague weapon caused the Song army to invade Xixia like a smashing bamboo. Unexpectedly, the lone army went deep, but was surrounded heavily, and lost most of it in the end. Is this plague weapon good or bad?It seems that what the old man said is right-the factor that determines the victory of a war is not weapons, but people!
The two were silent for a long time before General Gao said:
"At present, our army is temporarily unable to march westward, and the existing equipment and potions are sufficient. Therefore, the Ministry of War has decided to reduce the order of equipment and disinfectant potions. Once our army accumulates strength and resumes fighting, the imperial court will increase the order again. "

Du Wenhao had lost interest in this, and asked, "Is the plague spreading in Western Xia with the use of pestilence weapons this time?"

"In this Western Expedition, we put a large number of dead bodies in many Xixia cities, causing a large-scale plague epidemic in Xixia. The troops, carrying the corpses of the plague victims, threw them all over Xixia, further increasing the epidemic of the plague.”

Du Wenhao's heart sank, and his words were a little cold:

"General, the original intention of using anti-virus equipment was to prevent innocent people from being harmed. Why do you want to spread the plague to innocent people now? Isn't this inhumane?"

General Gao smiled faintly: "The two armies are fighting to the extreme. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself! To tell the truth, the Xixia people are not as kind as you are. They are planning to kidnap you!"

This is no longer news. Du Wenhao was already mentally prepared and said, "Didn't you send some guards to ambush around me, using me as bait, just waiting to hang Xixia spies?"

General Gao said: "That's right, it's just that this time not only Xixia, but also spies from Daliao have joined in!"

Du Wenhao was taken aback: "Daliao? They also want to attack me?"

"Yes! We fought against Xixia. In the early stage of the battle, we were invincible with the use of pestilence weapons. If it weren't for the estrangement between the two generals and the fact that General Xu was not good at war, we were defeated in the end. Otherwise, our army would have already wiped out Xixia.

Both Daliao and Xixia are very jealous of such a record, and they are very afraid that our army will re-accumulate its strength to attack again. Therefore, according to the information reports from our army lurking in Xixia and Daliao, both Xixia and Daliao have made plans to hijack Mr. .I'm afraid I'm going to do something to my husband in the near future. "

"Then how are you going to protect me?"

"Don't worry, sir, we've already made a perfect plan. I came here this time to discuss this matter with you. You must be vigilant when treating patients in the future. If you find something wrong with your expression, immediately hide in the back hall. We People will protect the safety of Mr. at all times."

Du Wenhao forced a smile: "The enemy's spies are mixed with the patients. No matter how vigilant I am, I still can't see clearly. Otherwise, I'd better close the business and move to another place to hide. Otherwise, I'll go find my apprentice I won't accept the money, let him hide in the palace for me, it's safer."

General Gao shook his head: "That won't do, sir, you absolutely can't see Ling Gaozu right now."

"why?"

"Jia Wanglong should have told Mr. that we are going to use this opportunity to crack down on Xixia and Daliao's spy organizations in one fell swoop. If we hide, we will not be able to achieve this goal. We must not meet Mr. Qian, or the news will leak out." Going out will have a big impact on our plans."

Du Wenhao was very depressed, after all, he still had to be the bait himself!Moreover, they forbade themselves to meet with Qian BuShou. I'm afraid it's not just for this purpose, maybe they are worried that if the plan fails and they are killed, they can cover up the whole thing so that Qian BuShou won't trouble them in the future.Anyway, the public news is that he has already died in the riots in the county town.They refused to admit it to death, and no one else could find out about it.

Since this is the case, there is no speculation in the words, Du Wenhao said whether he had a conversation or not.General Gao knew that Du Wenhao was in a bad mood, and the person who was the bait would not be in a good mood.Then he said goodbye and left.

For the next few days, Du Wenhao was depressed all the time. Seeing that the security around him was getting tighter and tighter, he knew that the danger was getting closer and closer. After tossing and turning for several nights, he made an important decision and made a plan for it.

On this day, the guards deployed in the shroud shop came to report that shopkeeper Zhao of the shroud shop had left the shop and sneaked into the house of shopkeeper Ni of the Shanhai medicinal material company, which was doing a lot of work.Du Wenhao immediately realized that the woman might attack again, and decided to start the plan immediately.

Du Wenhao asked Lin Qingdai to call Dong Guankuai and others, and asked Xue Feier to call the money without accepting the money. In addition, Pang Yuqin had already agreed to the mother of Zhan Ti, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, to help mobilize Pang County Wei to come to Beijing as an official. Tell Du Wenhao.Therefore, Du Wenhao sent Pang Yuqin to contact Pang's mother and asked her to bring Zhan Ti to the house of Shopkeeper Ni.

When Du Wenhao took Detective Dong and they left the pharmacy, Hu Yanzhong, Xin Jiuniang and other guards were not allowed to follow, and told Housekeeper Jia to let him tell General Gao that he would no longer be at the mercy of them and would live with his original identity.

After the deployment was completed, Du Wenhao, under the escort of Lin Qingdai, sneaked into Ni's house with Dong Guankuai and others, and captured the old woman's murderer, shopkeeper Zhao. He found out his true identity and helped him reveal his true identity, which saved him a lot of talking.

After hearing Du Wenhao say that he no longer wants to be a bait and wants to control his own destiny, General Gao has a gloomy face, but his identity has been exposed, so many people in the field have heard it, and it is impossible to cover up and redeem it.

General Gao wanted to get angry, but Du Wenhao's apprentice was the Imperial Physician who saved the life of the Ninth Prince, not only won the trust of the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince is now a prince, the future emperor, and the emperor also trusts him if he doesn't accept money add.

Now that the teacher and the apprentice recognize each other, I don't have the guts to make a fuss about it. No matter what, my head is the most important thing.

Just when General Gao didn't know what to do, he heard a lot of people coming outside the door, and the first person shouted loudly: "Excuse me, is Mr. Du there?"
