Chapter 729 Preparation(1/2)
As Niu Zhu and others became more and more serious, there was a very tense atmosphere in the army.
Jia Qing has been busy preventing the spread of the disease from happening these days with Zhao Sheng and others. He sprinkled lime, sprinkled sulfur, set fire, etc. in all possible places.
Wang Ziteng has ordered that all the barracks around him be vacated with a hundred steps, and dare not be careless.
Fortunately, after several days, except for two of the eight people who originally belonged to Niu Zhu and his barracks, no other soldiers had similar symptoms.
This made the anxious prince Teng breathe a sigh of relief and gave up the decision to withdraw the entire army.
Until the seventh day, Zhao Dawa died because he could not bear the torture of illness. Jia Qing stood in front of his body and remained silent for a long time.
On the tenth day, Chen Yingxiong also died.
On the fifteenth day, Niu Zhu also died. He looked like Zhao Dawa, with black spots all over his body.
Jia Qing was a little hesitant.
On this day, war reports came from the rear, and the group of cavalry that plundered Guanzhong was finally wiped out. However, the price paid by the Great Chu was tragically painful. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife, millions of disaster victims were destroyed, and they became homeless refugees.
Fighting with hunger and cold, displaced, and the indignant refugees quickly united, forming several powerful bandits.
They occupied the mountains and became kings and captured the county town, which was quite powerful.
In this way, the soldiers of the Great Chu who had just wiped out the enemy cavalry immediately became the royal army to suppress the rebellion.
At the same time, the military situation in Xuanfu Town was in urgent need, and Qin Guanliang sent someone to ask for Wang Ziteng's support.
"I'll ask General Hou to send 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to support him."
In the military tent, Wang Ziteng thought about it over and over again and decided to send troops to support Xuanfu Town.
After all, Xuanfu Town is too close to the capital, and if there is any mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"The general is not allowed. Once our army loses 50,000 elite troops, it will have no advantage over Fedor in terms of military strength.
In addition, the enemy has been eyeing each other, if Fedor takes advantage of our large-scale mobilization of troops, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Please think twice, General!”
Yulin Town General Wei Hong strongly opposed it. Not only him, more than half of the generals in the tent opposed it.
In their opinion, Xuanfu Town is in a hurry and there will be reinforcements from the capital. If it is not good, Jizhou Town and Liaodong Town will also rush to help.
Their Yulin Town faces the absolute main force of the enemy!
"There must not be any mistakes in Xuanfu Town!" Wang Ziteng said in a deep voice.
"Please be on guard and cover General Hou's retreat."
Wang Ziteng has made up his mind.
"Great General!"
At this moment, Jia Qing suddenly took a big step into the big tent.
"What are you doing? Could it be that the epidemic has changed?" Wan Ziteng asked with a frown.
At this time, Jia Qing suddenly broke in, which was very unruly.
Jia Qing seemed to have not seen dozens of eyes around him, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a plan to retreat to tens of thousands of cavalry outside the frontier..."
"What?"
"General Jia, aren't you kidding us?"
As soon as Jia Qing said this, all kinds of doubts came to his face. Yes, their more than 200,000 troops were stationed here for more than half a year but failed to retreat from the enemy. How long has Jia Qing been here before he could have a way to retreat from the enemy?
Wei Hong's big eyes glared and was about to mock him, but Jia Qing shouted to Wang Ziteng before he spoke: "Please ask the general to suspend the issuance of orders and allow me to report to the general before making a decision."
"Are you sure?" Wang Ziteng asked in a deep voice.
Jia Qingyan replied casually: "Less than 50%..."
50%?
Even if you are sure, Wang Ziteng must listen. If you listen to both sides, you will understand that this is the demeanor that a general must have.
"you say."
Jia Qing looked around the generals and frowned.
Seeing this, Wang Ziteng knew that Jia Qing was going to talk to him alone, so he said, "The generals rested for a moment outside the tent."
When Wang Ziteng spoke, no matter how dissatisfied the generals were, they could only suppress them for the time being.
There is no joke in the army. If Jia Qing can't say anything, so what if he is the general's cousin, he will still be dealt with as the crime of sensationalism and disrupting military discipline.
A quarter of an hour later, Wang Ziteng and Jia Qing went out of the military tent.
"General..." Wei Hong asked immediately.
Wang Ziteng's face was calm, he waved his hand to stop him, and slowly spoke: "Appoint Jia Qing as the vanguard army's left cavalry general
The army leads three thousand cavalry and operates freely, and the entire army cannot stop it.
In addition, the three military camps in the northeastern corner were drawn to provide temporary garrisons."
Jia Qing saluted and said, "Thank you, General, I will fulfill my mission!"
Then he left without looking back.
Wang Ziteng will arrange the rest.
The two of them are so handsome, and the generals don’t know that Jia Qing has already persuaded Wang Ziteng...
Wei Hong was very surprised: "General, can his plan really work?"
"Let him try it."
Wang Ziteng looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance, with a faint expression. Jia Qing said before that he was 50% sure, but what he didn't say was that there was still a 30% chance that both sides would suffer.
This move is too harmful to the sky...
Hou Xiaokang asked: "How will the general make a decision when supporting Xuanfu Town?"
"Stay still to stop..."
......
After Jia Qing returned, he went to meet Feng Fugui.
He didn't believe it even the two people who were infected later could not stand the torture to death. Feng Fugui actually persevered.
Moreover, the symptoms in my body are being relieved in the past two days.
This made Jia Qing look at him sideways.
"When I was a child, my mother told me that I had picked up my life from the King of Hell, and I would definitely be rich and noble in this life, so I named it Fugui.
It seems that this name really blessed me."
Feng Fugui said self-deprecatingly.
He had already felt that he might really not be able to die.
Jia Qing said: "You move to the barracks next door to recuperate."
Feng Fugui nodded, he knew what Jia Qing was going to do.
After he left, Jia Qing asked someone to pile firewood, pour oil, then ignite the fire, and watch the barracks turn into ashes with his own eyes.
Including several corpses inside.
On the second day, among the three tents on the outermost side of the northeast.
"Have you found a place?" Jia Qing asked.
Zhao Sheng said: "We found it. We took the drawings given by the Second Master and looked all the way through it. Sure enough, we saw a forest there. Then we searched for a long time before finally finding the valley entrance. And as the Second Master ordered, we caught more than ten rats and came back."
"You haven't come into contact with those mice, are you?"
"No, we all remembered the second master's instructions, and used the method of trapping and threw a lot of bait to catch it.
Second Master, what will you do next?"
Jia Qing took him to an independent room. Through the window, he saw that there were mice inside, and the squeaking sounds came.
Jia Qing said: "This is a rat caught from another place. You will put what you brought back in later and put it in."
Zhao Sheng nodded and then went to get the two mice he and Wang Jiang brought back.
They knew that those mice might be "poisoned" and did not dare to bring them in easily. Now they are still asked to leave the king outside.
Three days later.
Zhao Sheng found Jia Qing: "Second Master, all the mice you raised have died much better, isn't it okay?"
Jia Qing asked: "How many chickens, ducks and dogs were killed when they were put in yesterday?"
"I'm not dead yet, but..."
“Wait a little longer…”
Five days later, Zhao Sheng hurriedly reported: "Second Master, a large number of rats have died, two of the domestic animals put in them have died, and the others are dying."
To be continued...
