As the condition of Niu Zhu and others became more and more serious, there was a very tense atmosphere in the army.

Jia Qing has been busy with Zhao Sheng and others these days to prevent the spread of the disease. Sprinkle lime, sprinkle sulfur, set fires, and so on wherever possible.

Wang Ziteng had already ordered all the barracks around a hundred paces to be vacated, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Fortunately, for several days, except for two of the eight people in the barracks who originally belonged to Niu Zhu, they also contracted the disease, and no other soldiers had similar symptoms.

This made the suspenseful prince breathe a sigh of relief and gave up the decision to pull out the whole army.

Until the seventh day, Zhao Dawa died because of the torture of illness. Jia Qing stood in front of his corpse and was silent for a long time.

On the tenth day, Chen Yingying also died.

On the fifteenth day, Niu Zhu also died. The dead state is the same as Zhao Dawa, with black spots all over his body.

Jia Qing hesitated.

On this day, the battle report from the rear came that the group of cavalry that plundered the land in the middle of the pass was finally wiped out. But the price paid by Dachu for this was painful, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people died tragically under the enemy's butcher's knife, and millions of victims were destroyed and became homeless and homeless.

Hungry, cold, displaced, and displaced, the disgruntled displaced people soon united and formed several powerful bandits.

They occupied the mountain as the king and captured the county seat, which was quite impressive.

In this way, the Great Chu soldiers who had just annihilated the enemy's cavalry. Immediately became the king of the counterinsurgency.

At the same time, the military situation in Xuanfu Town was urgent, and Qin Guanliang sent someone to ask Wang Ziteng for support.

"Please ask General Hou to send 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to support."

In the military tent, the prince thought twice and decided to send troops to support Xuanfu Town.

After all, Xuanfu Town is too close to the capital, and if it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Great general, once our army loses 50,000 elites, it will have no advantage over Fyodor in terms of troops.

In addition, the enemy army has been eyeing us, and if Fyodor takes advantage of our large-scale deployment of troops to attack, our army will surely suffer heavy casualties.

Think again, General! ”

Wei Hong, the chief soldier of Yulin Town, strongly objected. Not only him, but more than half of the generals in the account were against it.

In their opinion, Xuanfu Town is in an emergency, and it has its own Beijing division to reinforce it, and no matter how bad it is, there are Jizhou Town and Liaodong Town to help.

They are facing the absolute main force of the enemy army in Yulin Town!

"Xuanfu Town must not be lost!" The prince said in a deep voice.

"Please put the three armies on alert and cover General Hou's retreat."

Wang Ziteng has made up his mind.

"Great General, slow down!"

At this moment, Jia Qing suddenly strode into the big tent.

"What are you here to do? 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 didn't seem to see the dozens of pairs of eyes around him, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a plan, maybe I can retreat from the hundreds of thousands of cavalry outside the fortress......

"What?"

"General Xiao Jia, you're not joking with us, are you?"

As soon as Jia Qing's words came out, all kinds of doubts suddenly came to his face. Also, their more than 200,000 troops have been stationed here for more than half a year and have not been able to retreat the enemy army, how long has Jia Qing been here, and there is a way to retreat from the enemy army?

Wei Hong's big eyes widened, and he was about to mock, but Jia Qing said loudly to Wang Ziteng before he opened his mouth: "Please also ask the general to suspend the order, and let me give the general a detailed lesson before making a decision." ”

"Are you sure?" The prince asked in a deep voice.

Jia replied lightly: "Less than fifty percent ......"

Fifty percent?

Even if he is sure, Wang Ziteng has to listen to it. Listening to it is clear, this is the bearing that a great general must have.

"You say."

Jia Qing glanced around at the generals around him and frowned.

Seeing this, Prince Teng knew that Jia Qing wanted to talk to him alone, so he said, "The generals will rest outside the tent for a while." ”

The prince spoke, and no matter how dissatisfied the generals were, they could only suppress it for the time being.

There is no joke in the army, if Jia Qing can't say anything good, even if he is the general's nephew, he will be dealt with for the crime of grandstanding and disturbing military discipline at that time.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Ziteng and Jia cleared out the military tent.

"General......" Wei Hong immediately asked.

Wang Ziteng's face was calm, he waved his hand to stop his words, and slowly spoke: "Appoint Jia Qing as the left hussar general of the vanguard army."

Army, lead 3,000 cavalry, move freely, and the whole army cannot be stopped.

In addition, three military camps in the northeast were selected for its temporary garrison. ”

Jia Qing saluted and said: "Thank you general, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Then he walked away without looking back.

The rest will be arranged by Wang Ziteng.

The two of them are acting like this, where do the generals not know that Jia Qing has said that Wang Ziteng has moved......

Wei Hong was very surprised: "General, can his strategy really work?" ”

"Let him try."

Wang Ziteng looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance, his expression gloomy. Jia Qing said before that he was fifty percent sure, but what he didn't say was that there was a thirty percent chance that both would lose.

This move is too hurtful to the heavens and ......

Hou Xiaokang asked: "How is the general going to decide on the matter of supporting Xuanfu Town?" ”

"Stand still for ...... time being"

......

After Jia Qing went back, he went to see Feng Fugui.

I didn't believe it when I said it, even the two people who were sick in the back couldn't stand the torture and died, this Feng Fugui actually persevered.

And in the past two days, the symptoms on his body are reducing.

This made Jia Qing look sideways.

"When I was a child, my mother told me that I picked up my life from Lord Yama, and I will definitely be rich and noble in this life, so I was named Fugui.

It seems that the name really blessed me. ”

Feng Fugui laughed at himself.

He already sensed that he might not really 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 people to pile firewood and grass inside, pour oil, and then light a fire, and watched the barracks turn to ashes.

Including several corpses inside.

On the second day, in the outermost part of the three tents on the northeast side.

"Found a place?" Jia Qing asked.

Zhao Sheng said: "I found it, we took the direction of the drawings given by the second master and looked all the way, and sure enough, we saw a mountain forest there, and then we searched for a long time before we finally found the valley mouth." And according to the instructions of the second master, he caught more than ten mice and came back. ”

"You didn't touch the rats, did you?"

"No, we all remembered the instructions of the second master, and we used the method of trapping, and we threw a lot of bait to catch it.

Second master, what should I do next? ”

Jia Qing took him to a separate room, and through the window, he saw that it was densely packed with rats, and there was a squeaky sound.

Jia Qingdao said: "This is a mouse caught from elsewhere, and you will put the one you brought back into it later." ”

Zhao Sheng nodded, and then went to get the two rats that he and Wang brought back.

They knew that those rats might be "poisonous", so they didn't dare to bring them in easily, and now they let the king put them outside.

Three days later.

Zhao Sheng found Jia Qing: "Second master, those rats you raised are much dead, aren't they okay?" ”

Jia Qing asked, "How many of those chickens, ducks and dogs died yesterday?" ”

"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 have also died, and the others are also sick and dying." ”

Jia Qing stood up abruptly and said, "It's time to act!" ”

……

Under the dark night, Jia Qing watched as the seven groups of soldiers he had carefully selected and trained were all equipped with "weapons".

The weapon was special, a one-colored burlap bag, which contained at least ten surviving mice.

Seven groups of three people for a total of twenty-one pockets.

Needless to say, the twenty-one soldiers knew their mission.

"Ignition!"

With Jia Qing's order, a raging fire broke out in the "pathogen warehouse" that had already been piled up with firewood and oil.

After five days of preparation, as a fire slowly faded away, only the resolute expressions on the faces of the twenty-one soldiers who looked at death as if they were at home proved that a conspiracy had been carried out here.

Out of the barracks, there were 3,000 soldiers and 3,000 war horses outside.

They are also divided into seven groups.
