21. Chapter 21 06 Traps
Heishui City is a small town located on the border of Song and Liao Dynasties. It is called Heishui City because it is different from ordinary small villages and towns. It is surrounded by a moat and tall walls are built beside the moat. It is separated from the other three
Beyond the Dao Gate, within a hundred miles, there is the land of other countries. This has always been a resting place for merchants from all over the world to trade.
The moat water is not the pure color of ordinary river water, but a thick, dark black color, but it does not appear to be caused by pollution.
Due to its unique geographical environment, this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, if it is surrounded on all sides, without external support, the entire Blackwater City will be like a turtle in a urn. Once the ammunition and food are exhausted, the consequences will be disastrous.
The population of Heishui City is over a thousand, including Song people, Khitan people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people. This is the only place where there is no discrimination and hatred. Everyone coexists peacefully. It can be said to be a rare paradise in this era.

However, when Yang Ye led Yang Jiajun and his seven sons into this place, what they saw was desolation. The prosperous town in the past no longer existed, replaced by white flags hanging at the door of every house and parked cars in the courtyard.
There were black coffins, and what could be heard were bursts of miserable cries. Parents cried for their children, wives cried for their husbands, children cried for their parents. Orphans and widows could be seen everywhere. People looked pale. The ground was full of overturned chicken coops and uncleaned chicken coops.
Rubbish.
A month ago, an epidemic suddenly broke out in this town. No one knew where the epidemic came from. All they knew was that the epidemic was extremely terrible. In just one month, the population of the town dropped from a few thousand to a few hundred. Because in the city
The doctors were unable to find out the cause of the disease, let alone prepare the corresponding medicines. In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading to the outside world, the city officials ordered the city to be locked down and submitted a memorial to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty requesting support, hoping that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would send out medical experts from the palace.
Imperial doctors diagnosed and treated this disease.
After receiving the memorial, Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty ordered Yang Ye to lead the Yang family army to accompany the imperial doctor. Little did he know that this plague was a terrible trap set by the Khitans for the Yang family army!
Yang Ye and others had just entered Heishui City, when countless Liao soldiers appeared from behind and surrounded the entire Heishui City. They also cut off the water source in the city and the connection between the Yang family and the outside world, in an attempt to trap the Yang family in Heishui City.
.When the disease spreads in the city, within a few days, the entire Yang family army will be infected with this notorious and terrible disease. In this way, the Liao people can eliminate this serious problem without spending a single soldier.
Originally, Xiaoxue and Luo's daughter were undoubtedly experts in dealing with this kind of plague. The people even gave Xiaoxue the title of 'Medical Fairy'. But just half a month before the epidemic broke out, Xiaoxue and Luo's daughter received orders from other towns.
When there was news of an outbreak, the two went to investigate.
After Yang Ye learned about the Khitan siege, he sneered: "They really took great pains to lure Xiaoxue and A Luo away, and then deceived the Yang family army into Blackwater City and trapped us there. We either died of the plague or died
Die of hunger!"
The superb medical skills of Xiaoxue and Luo Shinu will definitely make the Khitans afraid. If the two of them come here, they are likely to find the source of the disease and control it in a short time. At that time, the Khitans' strategy is to fight with bamboo baskets
The water is in vain. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to lure them away. Although the imperial physician in the palace has excellent medical skills, all his medical knowledge comes from books. In terms of practice, he is like a frog in the well. He is not as good as Xiaoxue and Luo Shi's daughter who walk around all year round and face the
Experiencing all kinds of horrible illnesses.
The seven sons of the Yang family all looked indignant, cursing the Khitans for being shameless and treacherous, and for using such third-rate methods. Nowadays, the people in Blackwater City are distracted, and the fear of death spreads in everyone's hearts, except for those of them who have been facing the enemy all the time.
The others are ordinary people. Everyone is afraid of death, and now, death happens every day.
At first, there were still people collecting the bodies, but later, the streets were full of dead people, and some even killed their whole families. It was not until the corpses started to stink that they were discovered by soldiers patrolling the city.
Because of his relationship with Luo's daughter, Shiro had some common sense. When he first entered the city, he ordered the people in the city to be isolated. Those who were sick were separated into one place, and those who were not yet sick were separated into one place. The dead were gathered in the open space and burned.
, but as the death toll climbed, fear spread in people's hearts. What was more terrifying than the plague was fear. Although Yang Ye repeatedly stated that he would definitely find a way to control the epidemic, the Khitans actually sent people to infiltrate the people and spread rumors.
, inciting people to flee Blackwater City.
The people rushed to the four city gates one after another. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were unable to stop these panic-stricken people. The suspension bridge leading to the outside world was lowered, and people poured out of the city gates. What greeted them were arrows shot by the Khitan people.
The people in front were hit by arrows and fell down one after another. The people behind stood there in horror, watching helplessly as the people in front fell one by one. They were at a loss and unable to advance or retreat. If they took a step further, they died under the arrows of the Khitan people and retreated.
If you take one step forward, you will die from a terrible epidemic.
Yang Ye sent soldiers, holding iron shields, to rush in front of the people, block the sharp arrows of the Khitans, and cover the surviving people back to the city. The Khitans did not press hard, and their purpose was just to not allow anyone to step out of Blackwater City.
Their goal was not only to kill Yang Jiajun, but also to bury the innocent people of Blackwater City with them.
****
At the same time, Xiaoxue and Luo Shi's daughter found the origin of another epidemic outbreak in another town. This was not an ordinary epidemic, but a terrible poison that spread rapidly between humans and animals. The chicken, duck, and fish meat eaten by humans contained
Eggs that are invisible to the naked eye. These eggs cannot be killed no matter what method is used. After people eat them, they will hatch in the human body, and then begin to spread throughout the human body, gradually growing, and slowly devouring them.
The internal organs of the human body make people miserable! Until death!
"Xiaoxue," Ms. Luo walked in, "the epidemic has been brought under control. Fortunately, we have seen the method of cracking this poison in ancient medical books before. Otherwise, if this terrible thing spreads, the entire Song Dynasty will probably be destroyed."
Become a living hell!”
Xiaoxue did not answer, but just looked at the paper in her hand in a daze. Luo's daughter walked over and pushed her gently: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?" She glanced at the paper in Xiaoxue's hand, and there was only one line on it: "The Yang family army is trapped in Heishui City"
One jump, we are about to run out of ammunition and food, and we are unable to communicate with the outside world. Please try to rescue us quickly'!
"What, what's going on?" Luo's daughter's face changed drastically, "Why are Shiro and the others in Blackwater City?"
"Sister Luo, I think we have fallen into a trap!" Xiaoxue raised her head, with a rare serious look on her face.
"What's the meaning?"
"Based on the time when the epidemic broke out in this town and the time when dad, brother and the others entered Heishui City, there was only half a month difference. That is to say, not long after you and I left Bianjing, dad and the others received a request for help from the outbreak of the epidemic in Heishui City.
"
"You're saying that someone set up a huge trap in Blackwater City to lure the Yang family's army into it in an attempt to annihilate it in one fell swoop. And here, it's just a pretense to get rid of you and me. Their real purpose is to deal with the Yang family?"
Luo's daughter was not a fool and immediately figured out the key, "But... isn't this a natural disaster?"
"It's not a natural disaster, it must be a man-made disaster." Xiaoxue pondered for a moment, "If what I expected is correct, they planted this poison in two places at the same time and controlled the time of the outbreak in order to separate us from the Yang family army.
Maybe it's because we are an obstacle between the two of us. And other imperial doctors are not worth mentioning in their eyes, so they may not be able to find a way to detoxify."
"If that's the case, why don't they kill us? Wouldn't that be a better way to avoid future troubles?"
Xiaoxue sneered and refused to kill them, probably because of Brother Yelusiu's relationship. Although she didn't know what the psychology of that person was, he must have played an important role in it. Or maybe it was because they were just women, and
The other party only has to deal with the men of the Yang family. Women are not a problem in their eyes, right?
"Sister Luo, we have to rush back to Bianjing now to inform my mother and the others." Xiaoxue stood up and frowned deeply. Although she had already guessed the other party's motives, the problem is that she currently does not understand the people in Blackwater City.
The situation, let alone whether the poison that broke out in Blackwater City is the same type as the poison they are now exposed to.
If so, it would be easy to handle. If not, then we must truly understand the source of the poison in Heishui City in order to prescribe the right medicine. But according to the note, Heishui City is now surrounded by Liao soldiers. If you want to break out of the siege, you must
Fighting to carve a bloody path. But now that the epidemic is spreading in the city, I am afraid that my father and brothers will not be able to escape the possibility of being poisoned! Not to mention that it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. It is not easy to break a bloody path among tens of thousands of Liao soldiers. Black
