Chapter 5: The Beast of the Flood
General Yan took a few relatives to patrol the city, but the camp was still the same, and it had not launched an attack for three days, but every day he sent cavalry to reconnoiter around the city from afar, and he didn't know what his idea was.
The army consumes a great deal of money every day, and with his character, he will never do anything to procrastinate, so if he does not move, there will be a plan. General Yan tried to calm the confusion in his chest, empathized, and calculated the means that the enemy might use. Suddenly, he found a group of soldiers guarding the baggage under the city, leaning or leaning, lazy, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
A small flag came out from the side of the stable, and said, "My lord, they were originally from the city, and they were sick, so Mr. Ma took a few grooms from me and left them here to watch the forage." ”
General Yan was unhappy in his heart, grain and grass are the foundation of the army, the most important thing, how can he be entrusted to the sick man to guard? waved his hand: "You let them go to rest!" He turned back to his relatives and said: "You go down to guard for a while, and I will see where there are suitable transfers to replace you." ”
A relative said: "My lord, Mo Rigen is lurking in the city, and he has not been able to touch his shadow, maybe he will burst out and hurt people at any time, and you must not be left unprotected." ”
General Yan looked back at the person who was carrying the double hook of the handguard on his back, and said, "Just let him stay, you can go, everything is under the command of this small banner." ”
The people did not dare to disobey and obeyed the order to go down to the city.
When the little flag by the stable saw that the chief soldier had let his relatives come down, he was terrified, and said to the sick sergeants: "Why don't you thank your lord for your grace?"
The sick men had no strength, and barely bowed down: "Master Xie......" One of them bent over and couldn't stand up, so he slowly fell down, unconscious. General Yan frowned and said, "Everyone is sick like this, what about the medical officer?" Several sergeants were busy looking around, and after a short time, they reported: "The medical officer went to the south of the city, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
General Yan thought to himself, someone reported this incident in the morning, saying that four or five people in the south of the city were sick, and asked the military medical officer to come over. Just as he was about to go over and take a look, suddenly a person ran up the road and said, "My lord, the disease caused by the sergeant in the south of the city is an epidemic, and the number of infected people has reached thirteen, and now the military medical officer is isolating them. ”
General Yan sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that the plague was worse than the flood beasts, once it spreads, six or seven out of ten people will die, and now that the troops are outside, there is always the possibility of attacking, if this disease spreads among the army, then it will be worth it! We must hurry to the south of the city to see the situation. hurriedly went down the city, and met the prefect Liu, next to Xin Lu and Qin Juexiang, followed by many people.
Governor Liu didn't care about etiquette and politeness, and stepped forward and said, "Brother Yan, something is wrong." ”
Yan Zongbing said in a low voice: "Could it be that there is also an epidemic in the city?"
Governor Liu nodded anxiously: "Exactly." After a day or two, there are hundreds of sick households! This has not yet been carefully investigated, and now that all the medicines in several pharmacies in the city have been sold out, we must send people to other places to purchase and replenish supplies, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Do you mean to let people out?" General Yan glanced at the people and said in a low voice: "Now I will send cavalry around the city every day to reconnoiter and open the city gate, who can be responsible for the accident?" Governor Liu's face was bitter: "Then what else can be done? The people behind couldn't help but get restless, and said nonchalantly: "The prefect is right, it's better to let people go out to buy medicine." "The epidemic is so bad that it may not be cured if there is medicine!" "If you don't hurry up, it's even more too late!" "If the city is broken, it will be death, and death from illness is death, so it is better to open the city and fight to the death with the Tartars!" "It's better to abandon the city and flee, leave this plagued city to the Tartars, let them take it, and all of them will be infected with disease and die!"
When General Yan saw that the people's hearts were about to be disturbed, he hurriedly stopped drinking and said loudly: "Although the epidemic is severe, as long as it is properly controlled, its spread can be stopped! Today, I am stationed outside, and every day the horse team besieges the city, and the guards are constantly patrolling, even if Kaicheng sends people out to buy medicine, he will definitely be intercepted and killed halfway! This road is absolutely impassable!"
When the people heard this, they were silent for a while, but when their lives were at stake, they couldn't care about the distinction between the officials and the people, and some people asked loudly: "Then what do you say? Do you wait for death?" "Are you afraid that the Tartars will not be responsible for killing in, and the people of the whole city will die here, will you be responsible?" "The officials are thinking about their own black yarn, who cares about our life and death!"
General Yan's face turned blue, and he pressed his sword and shouted: "In this extraordinary period, how can you make a fool of yourself! Come! Surround them for me, and don't let one escape!" Immediately, two teams of sergeants came together, raised swords and guns, and surrounded these people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xinlu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Everyone is just anxious for a while, and there is no malicious intent in offending the words, I hope your lord will forgive you." ”
General Yan said with plastic surgery: "The division is too relieved, Yan is an official for the people and guards the city for the people, how can he harm him, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done, so there is no way." ”
Xinlu was relieved and advised: "The epidemic is very contagious, and it is better to isolate the sick. ”
General Yan bowed his head slightly and said: "The master is too proficient in medical science, and this matter still needs a lot of trouble." ”
Xin Lu is ten: "Amitabha, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, this is a matter within the Xin Law, how to talk about the word labor." Now that the temple is empty, it can be used as a quarantine site, and adults can send people to move the sick inside to prevent the epidemic from spreading. General Yan nodded, turned to the two general flags behind him and shouted: "Pass my order! You two will send 100 people from the city, pull strips of cloth to cover your mouth and nose, and escort these people to each house to search for the sick, carry out compulsory isolation, and those who refuse to obey will be punished on the spot!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Qin Langchuan moved his body in the helm courtyard of the Changtian Dart Bureau and practiced a large group of palms, everyone in the rudder forgot to rest, watched and watched, cheered in unison, Qin Langchuan felt weak, his legs trembled, and laughed: "In the past, I always laughed at others for practicing martial arts and boxing softly, but now feng shui is turning!"
Chen Shengyi: "The old lady suffered a big injury, injured the meridians and damaged the veins, and now he is poisoned by arrows and suffering from epidemics, and it is rare to recover to such a point in a short period of time." ”
Qin Langchuan rubbed the wound on the side of his shoulder and said: "The healing medicine of the Hengshan faction is indeed unique, it removes saprophytic muscles, and the effect is magical. ”
Chang Sihao said: "You just practiced too strongly, it is not beneficial to the condition, since the body is weak, it is better to play softer and softer." ”
Qin Langchuan said with a smile: "Xiaohao, several main veins in your body have been connected, and you have abundant internal strength, but you are a layman for the way of fists and feet. But I just arrived at the extreme, can also be soft, many people practice the palm boxing method, pay attention to the combination of rigidity and softness, but in fact it is not up or down, practice into a rigid and soft chicken rib palm, in the end is also commonplace, but not as simple as my heart, seeking the extreme to achieve the realm of high. Everyone said: "The old lady's wonderful theory is really reasonable." ”
Chang Sihao smiled faintly and stopped talking, but Qin Langchuan could see that he must be disappreciative in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiaohao, you also come to play a set of punches and activities." Everyone in the rudder had long wanted to see this Aunt Sun's skills, and now they were all interested, applauding and cheering. Chang Sihao said: "I haven't learned boxing and palm techniques either, so let's do it twice as I watched you practice just now." Saying that, according to the moves that Qin Langchuan had just practiced, Qin Langchuan smiled and watched, thinking that when I passed this big sect of palms to Yi'er, it took several years for a coach to have a small success, how could it be that he could play well by looking at the appearance?
I saw Chang Sihao taking the spine as the axis, shaking the hips and shoulders, and practicing it, although the moves used were large quantities of palms, but there were subtle differences. Thorough, the strength is generous and natural, Qin Langchuan looked at it, and gradually restrained his smile, thinking that if the palm he practiced went out like a giant tree hitting the bell, then Chang Sihao went out with one palm, like a chain hammer that was opened, the giant wood could knock the bell away, but the chain hammer could break the bell in place! When his moves made him old and his hands trembled, there was a sound in the air around him, like a cannonball, with the power of explosion, as if anything on it would be blown apart and flying. And this kind of explosive energy is not only reflected in the hands, but also in the shoulders, knees, back, waist, hips, and buttocks, which is everywhere, that is, he can hurt people anywhere on his body.
No matter how strong his palm is, he is just a gun, but he is a hedgehog with a spear head all over his body!
After practicing, Chang Sihao walked away, the moves seemed to be slow and fast, flowing water and clouds, there were moves and not limited to moves, no moves and slightly its shape, shot like empty valleys and mountains, fog and smoke, thousands of weather, everything depends on nature, the people around him saw the mood with his fist ups and downs, such as bravely climbing high cliffs and jumping in the air, sometimes like the bottom of the sea turning waves and chasing the tip of the waves, sometimes like lightning and thunder around the explosion, when like fog and rain and sunny days, this set of palm techniques to make the end of the momentum stand, he suddenly found that everyone's faces, have changed color.
