Chapter 478 Songs in the Cold Rain

8days ago Historical fiction 7
The northwest wind is in the wind and the heavy rain flies in the slanting direction, and the boat bridge on the river is hazy in the rain, as if it is shrouded in heavy fog.

The long team of people slowly squirmed in the rain.Some people wore straw hats and hats, a few had straw raincoats, and some soldiers did not find anything to shelter from the rain, so they marched in the rain.

The roads in the wild were paved with bricks and stones. After a whole night of rain, the road was trampled by countless people this morning, and it was already muddy.

The conditions at this time are limited, and there is no need for too many natural disasters. Just an ordinary rain can slow down the movement of the army.

The distance from Pingyuefu to Yangshuo County is less than 60 miles. If the weather is good, the army can reach it in less than two days. However, with the current road conditions, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach Yangshuo County in three days with a large number of vehicles and supplies in the army.

The military order to deport the camp was issued by Zhu Gaoxu, so he is now standing on the side of the road, wearing armor but not covering up the rain, and is wet in the rain with his soldiers.

He reached out to wipe the water from his face, turned to his head and said to his generals: Fighting often involves self-destruction and killing one thousand enemies; and now we are fighting in another way.The only meaning of enduring difficulties yourself is to make the enemy suffer more pain.

Several generals agreed one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu has been fighting in wars over the years, and he seems to be very good at fighting, but he does not like war.

Just like everything he felt, it was not only cruel and bloody, but also full of maliciousness, and he could do anything to no avail...

After exploring the horse, Wu Gao's army indeed crossed the Lechuan River last night.

The enemy marched overnight and was wet all night. The weather we encountered today would not be any different, and the situation would only be worse than that of the Han Wangjun!

The current location of Sheng Yong Army is probably near Wuzhou Prefecture.

After Sheng Yong received the military information in front, he would definitely not go to He County again, and he would go straight north.

Sheng Yong's Southern Army and Han Wang's Central Army have about ten days' different schedules; if Ping An's cavalry leaves the army and heads first, they can reach the front within a few days.

It was because Zhu Gaoxu summed up the military situation everywhere that he came to the conclusion that Wu Gao did not dare to continue to delay his trip... In the confrontation in Pingyuefu area, Wu Gao had delayed for two days. If he did not want to be delayed for a few more days in Yangshuo County and did not want the situation to continue to deteriorate, he had to arrive in Yangshuo County first.

Or Wu Gao can continue to change his mind and turn around again and go towards He County.In this way, the time it takes for Sheng Yong's troops to be encountered is shorter, and Wu Gao will definitely take greater risks.

Based on a series of inferences and analysis, Zhu Gaoxu decided to make a decision to march in the rain today.

However, most of the soldiers did not understand the inside story. Everyone only believed in the war ability of the Han King based on their experience, so the soldiers of each army willingly implemented the military order.

At this moment, the rear rode approached here.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked for a while and recognized that it was Wang Bin.

Wang Bin walked on a horse wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat, and he could move in just a few days.

That night, the law enforcement sergeant whipped the whip and made a loud noise, but his subordinates had a lot of affection.

The two looked at each other, and both remained silent.

Wang Bin sat on the horse's back and walked slowly closer, then he clasped his fists and said: The sinner will pay homage to the prince.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, raised his chin again, and signaled Wang Bin to come to him.

Zhu Gaoxu observed quietly. Wang Bin looked unhappy, but there was no hatred in his eyes. He should have appreciated it in his heart.

Sure enough, Wang Bin took the initiative to greet: I was beaten several times a day before, but I never admitted it once...

No wonder.Zhu Gaoxu responded.

Wang Bin said: I am a person who is soft but not hard.

However, Zhu Gaoxu believes that his parents must have more than just beating, otherwise why would Wang Bin not run away with his temper?

At this time, Wang Bin actually made a move to let go of the straw raincoat on his body.Zhu Gaoxu reached out and pressed his arms: I want to hide the rain, do you still need to give it to me?If you are not careful, the injuries on your body will easily become purulent.

Wang Bin was stunned for a moment and stopped moving.

At this time, a loud solo song came from the group of people marching on the boat bridge.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand the lyrics, but he heard it was the Sichuan dialect accent, and the tone was like the sound of a trumpet on the pier.

Every time the soldiers finished singing a sentence, the soldiers around them sang the last three or two words in unison, which was very tacit.

The singing reminds people of the scene of a group of people pulling the boat together, and the ending is rough and upward, very high.

More soldiers on the road shouted, "Okay, there is a lively atmosphere on both sides of the Lechuan River."

The generals around Zhu Gaoxu all smiled, but Wang Bin was still depressed, with a hint of regret.

A brave general is definitely a strength.Zhu Gaoxu looked at Wang Bin and said, "A hundred households, even one general, is a good general, as long as he is brave, he is often a good general."After all, he just needs to obey the military orders of the Shangfeng, set an example, and bravely complete the temporary rush.

Zhu Gaoxu spoke with praise. Seeing that Wang Bin did not have any resistance, he continued: Even if he is a general who is the only one, courage and courage are very important. But if there is only the courage of a brave man for a while, it will be a bad thing.

A general with heavy troops will face many choices and decisions; he will have a heavy responsibility and will be related to the life and death of thousands of brothers.The bigger the battle, the less it cannot be completed within a few hours; at this time, calmness and courage are equally important, and courage that lasts for a long time and does not expose you!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled lightly and said, "It is also very important for a real man to last for a long time."

Some of the generals heard the teasing and made a lewd laugh. After a moment, the group of generals laughed.

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said: I will remember the lessons of the prince!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: This king's personal soldiers, General Wang, are you willing?

Wang Bin hurriedly said: I thank you, Prince, and I will never give up!

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and patted Wang Bin on the shoulder: You and I live a life-long brother, just like family members.This king may kill you with his own hands, but he will not abandon you.

Wang Bin looked serious and bowed slowly: I wish to die for the king.

...If the weather is good, the army will camp, and everyone does not need to live in tents or houses, and some people can also burn a bonfire and wrap it in blankets and bedding.

But spending the night on rainy days will definitely not work. People cannot lie in the rain and drizzle all night.

So the Han Wang army stopped marching in the afternoon, and people dragged their baggage into the mud, walking less than twenty miles a day.

Each camp chose a good camp, so he was busy looking for houses and setting up tents.

In order to speed up the army, the army did not carry enough tents, so they had to temporarily build a grass and wood shed.

Zhu Gaoxu was very strong. He could no longer remember when the last time he took medicine. He didn't expect that he would catch a cold after a cold rain.

But before noon, he felt uncomfortable and had a significant fever after camping.

Unfortunately, he was not the only one who caught a cold. There were soldiers with fever and discomfort in each battalion, and it was difficult to calculate the number of people for a while.

The Yunnan doctor who followed the army came to the headquarters of the Central Army to diagnose and treat Zhu Gaoxu. He concluded that it was typhoid fever. He also quoted the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and immediately prescribed a prescription for Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of so many people in the army getting sick, and suddenly remembered the flu and asked: Can typhoid fever be contagious?

The doctor pondered for a while before nodding with a serious expression: Caomin and other masters and apprentices have found that the evil energy of typhoid fever will cause people around him to get sick.However, this disease has been treated with good prescriptions. As long as there are enough medicinal materials, the patient can recover after several days of rest.

However, there were so many medicinal materials on the way to the marching, let alone recuperate.

Zhu Gaoxu said: You and other doctors went to various camps for diagnosis and treatment, and prescribed prescriptions that can prevent typhoid fever and treat it.He then looked at Wang Bin next to him and said, "Master Wang, please follow the doctor's prescription and try your best to find medicinal materials everywhere."

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said: I'm sure you'll get the order!

Zhu Gaoxu called Hou Hai again worriedly and asked him to write a letter to Chen Zhen to force him to arrive in Pingyue Mansion as soon as possible.

The place with the richest materials in all kinds of materials is only the city; as long as the city surrenders, the most medicinal materials can be found in the city.

Miaojin boiled the medicine for him to drink.

The use of medicine is actually very simple. It has the five flavors of medicinal materials such as cinnamon twig, peony, licorice, ginger, and jujube. If it is in the city, any medicine shop should have these things, and people may also have them at home.

Zhu Gaoxu was even more worried about the soldiers in the army and slept anxiously.

As expected, Chinese medicinal materials are not special medicines and are relatively slow to take effect.

Zhu Gaoxu's condition worsened after slept. He was very feverish, sometimes trembling and sometimes hot.

My head felt like it was filled with iron, it was heavy and painful, and my strong muscles also lost their strength, and I felt that my limbs were weak.

He suddenly felt the insignificance and weakness of a man. Even a strong man like him could knock him down immediately with a small illness.

The physical feeling of losing strength directly hit his heart.

The feeling of nothingness and palpitations continue to aggravate.

Before dawn, several generals got the permission and walked into Zhu Gaoxu's bedroom.They reported to Zhu Gaoxu that rumors had already started in the army, and rumors were rumored that the army had encountered a plague!

Zhu Gaoxu struggled for a while and said: Ask the doctor to refute the rumors, telling the soldiers that it is just typhoid fever, which can be cured!

It's useless, the soldiers don't believe in the doctor. A general's way was spread. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, in just half a day and a night, the news that the prince fell ill also spread to the army.

Another general asked to stop the march today in order to stop rumors and rectify morale.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked: Is typhoid fever prevalent in Wu Gao’s army?

Several generals looked at each other, but no one could answer.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Send someone to inquire immediately.

Get order.

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, but his movements were too fierce. He suddenly felt a dizzy turn and almost fell back.He reached out and pressed his temple and sat up.
