Sun Chuanting hurried all the way, ran from Xiangcheng to Xuchang, and was on the march, when several war horses galloped in the distance, rushed to Sun Chuanting's face, turned over and rolled off the horse!

"Master Overseer, Master Overseer!"

Sun Chuanting raised his eyebrows, these people were covered in blood, and they didn't know if it was their own injuries or other people's blood splashed on their bodies, they were covered in dust and embarrassed!

"You guys?"

"Master Inspector, Lord Gao Jie, a hundred households under the command of Lord Gao Jie, a lowly striker, see your Excellency!"

Sun Chuanting's heart was shocked, and he shouted: "You are from the forward battalion? How was the battle of Prince Mountain? Where's your Gao Jie? ”

Dong Bichao's face was full of bitterness, and he said bitterly: "My lord, under the leadership of Lord Gao Jie, the six thousand soldiers of our forward battalion fought fiercely with the thieves for a day and a night, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and less than 300 soldiers escaped, scattered all over the place, Gao Jie, Lord Gao Jie, fell off the cliff because of the thief Yuan Zongdi......"

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he felt that his eyes suddenly darkened, but he didn't expect that in the end, Gao Jie would still die on the battlefield!

"Gao Jie, Gao Jie......"

Sun Chuanting's eyes were split, and he roared angrily: "This governor will not avenge you, and he will not be a man!" ”

"My lord, Lord Gao has persevered in Taizi Mountain for a day, although we have rushed out all the way for forty or fifty miles, but the army is strong, and the march has always been fast, we have to hurry up, if we let the thieves chase up, we will never be able to get rid of them! We must return to Kaifeng Mansion before the thieves catch up, or we will be in danger!" ”

Sun Zhixiu said in a deep voice.

Sun Chuanting waved his whip hatefully, there is no way, now the situation is stronger than people, his 100,000 Qin army has gone through this catastrophe, and now the strength is less than 50,000, and the morale is extremely low, if it is really bitten by the thieves, there is only one ending, that is, gathering annihilation!

Sun Chuanting had no choice but to lead the army to retreat in the direction of Kaifeng again, from Xuchang to Kaifeng, but more than two hundred miles, marching with all his might, that is, in more than two days, the army had arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.

However, entering Kaifeng Mansion, Sun Chuanting was completely dumbfounded, this Kaifeng Mansion did not expect that it was such a scene, the population of Kaifeng Mansion is hundreds of thousands, it is the most prosperous city in the Central Plains, even if it is placed in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is enough to rank in the top ten, and then the Bianhe River and the canal, Kaifeng Mansion is prosperous in business, and there is the King of Zhou here, even if it suffers from war, it is also prosperous, singing and dancing!

Now it's okay, if the whole Kaifeng Mansion is a ghost, the street is full of people lying down at will, one by one, bloodless, the sound of buying and selling on weekdays comes from far away, and now there is no movement, and the silence makes people feel suffocated!

Plague! Plague!

Kaifeng Mansion actually suffered from the plague that was even more cruel than Nanyang!

Sun Chuanting felt a burst of despair, how can Kaifeng Mansion live in today's mansion? How many soldiers have entered it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive, let alone recover their combat strength!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! This, how did this Kaifeng Mansion encounter such a serious plague? Before we leave, it's still good, it's only been more than a month! This ......"

Sun Zhixiu was already speechless in shock, even He Yilong, who was used to seeing these scenes on the side, couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach! It's so bad that there are even corpses of patients on the street who don't have time to deal with them, and there is a burst of foul smell! Fortunately, it's only the spring season, and if it is left in the summer, the entire Kaifeng Mansion will really be even more terrifying than hell!

Where did Sun Chuanting dare to let his army enter Kaifeng Mansion, if he got in, it wouldn't be long before all the Qin troops would lie down again!

"General He, follow me into the city to meet Lord Ren Jun, Zhixiu, immediately deploy defenses on the spot, beware of a sneak attack by the intruding army!"

Sun Chuanting said that, and He Yilong entered Kaifeng Mansion with a pro-army and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

Seeing Sun Chuanting who was covered in dust, Ren Jun was so excited that he was about to cry, jumped up, hugged Sun Chuanting, and said urgently: "Inspector Sun, it's back, this, this ......"

Sun Chuanting pushed Ren Jun away and shouted, "Lord Ren, what's the matter with you?" There is such a serious plague outbreak in Kaifeng Mansion, you actually sit idly by? Look outside, what has become of it? Is this the provincial governance? It's hell! Don't you know that you will be called in a doctor to treat the epidemic? ”

Ren Jun's face was bitter, and he replied: "Inspector Sun, what you said is simple, the epidemic is menacing, in the blink of an eye, the entire Kaifeng Mansion has been infected with plague, how can the lower officials treat it......"

"Didn't I ask someone to give you the prescription? Don't you know how to buy medicinal herbs and ask for a doctor? ”

Sun Chuanting shouted.

Now Sun Chuanting is finally a little flustered, he originally wanted to rely on Kaifeng Mansion to recuperate, restore his combat strength, and confront Li Zicheng, but now it's okay, the entire Kaifeng Mansion has become like this, how to recuperate? Don't you dare to let the army in......

Once Li Zicheng's army comes to the city, not only Kaifeng Mansion, but also his tens of thousands of troops will be unlucky!

Ren Jun frowned and replied, "Master Inspector, what's the use of just having a prescription?" The entire treasury of Henan is empty, the poor jingle is ringing, and even the salaries of officials cannot be paid, where is the extra silver to treat the epidemic? ”

Sun Chuanting's face darkened, wiped it, knew that Henan was poor, but he didn't expect it to be like this......

"In any case, you must immediately allocate silver taels to treat the epidemic, if you don't have any silver, then go and borrow it from businessmen and officials, Lord Ren, if you let it develop again, once it is known by the imperial court, your black yarn hat will not be able to keep it! I, I will allocate 10,000 taels of silver to you from the salary of the Qin army! ”

Sun Chuanting is really anxious, for the sake of Kaifeng Mansion, he can only put these salaries on top first, as for the military salary, when Zhu Jie comes and is thinking of a way, this guy has the most active eyes and many ways!

Sun Chuanting only took one night in Kaifeng Mansion, and early the next morning, a thousand households hurriedly ran into their apartment!

"Master Inspector, Master Inspector, it's not good!"

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sun Xiang, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Sun Xiang hurriedly said: "Master Inspector, I just got the information sent from outside the city, and now the army of thieves is less than thirty miles away from us!" ”

Sun Chuanting is like five thunderbolts, what is the matter, the speed of these thieves' attacks is too fast!

"Go, get out of the city immediately, and prepare to meet the enemy!"
