Chapter 1682 Good News
Bang bang bang!
Flints hit again, shaking the entire Long'an Mansion.
Xu You was wearing heavy armor and stood on the city tower, looking ahead: "Why panic? If the prefect dies, just let the assistant officer from the government office take over."
As long as the city is not broken, even if the city turns into hell, he will not be considered defeated.
After hearing this, the staff did not dare to say anything.
Xu You asked again what he was concerned about: "How many bugs have been raised?"
The staff member was startled, thinking of the bugs being kept in the water tanks, his face turned pale, and he replied: "Eight large tanks have been raised."
"It's not enough, let them raise more. The antidote can't be made, and it's so slow to raise a bug." Xu Younian can take the position of a general fighting against the enemy. He is not a compassionate person, and in such a war, Next, it is appropriate to use some means.
This method was brought to him by the Rong people, so its not a pity.
"Yes, I will urge the doctors again." The staff responded, but before they left, the prefect's son rushed over risking his life. When he saw Xu You, he knelt down and cried: "General Xu, please Please save my dad, he has a strange disease and is about to die."
Xu You looked at the son of the prefect and said honestly: "I really want to save your father, but you know very well that there is no cure for this strange disease."
There is an extreme method, which is to cut open the body and take out the worms.
But the doctor said that people who faint and have convulsions usually have insects entering their brains... If a person's brain is cut open, how can he still survive?
"General Xu, please think of something..." The prefect fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Just as he was crying happily, Xu Fang, who was staying at his residence in Xuyou City, suddenly came with his troops, carrying a cage with two carrier pigeons in his hand: "General, good news, good news!"
Good news?
Xu You's pupils were slightly enlarged and he looked at Xu Fang.
There should be no good news at this time, but Xu Fang was his slave, and he later became a master. He was his confidant, and knew his temper well. If he dared to say good news during the war, he must be a good man. a big surprise.
Ke Xu You didnt expect that this surprise would be so big.
"General, there is a cure for the strange disease!" Xu Fang pointed to the carrier pigeons in the cage and said, "Two carrier pigeons have sent a letter and insect attractant."
However, that night, the military camp was unexpectedly attacked, and the camp was filled with poisonous insects.
Two days later, the strange disease in Long'an Prefecture was cured, and the army camp was plagued by insects.
The Great Rongtian Khan was angry and ordered all the great witch doctors to treat and kill the poisonous insects. However, to no avail for several days, he burned his troops to kill the insects.
When the King of Rong burned his troops and the morale of the army was in chaos, General Xu led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack the camp of King Rong. However, the Chu soldiers were weak and were inferior to the soldiers, so they returned home defeated.
General Xu was furious and used strange tactics again. The army camp was infested with insects again and the soldiers were in panic. When the army came out again, they returned with a small victory.
The Great Rongtian Khan was furious, and the Great Rong reinforced the army and attacked Long'an Prefecture again. General Xu led his generals to defend for several days. Wu Mang, the commander of the Central Plains Command, led his troops to rush to the rescue, and Long'an Prefecture was protected.
In late May of the twelfth year of Jingyuan, the two armies fought for more than a month. The army's food and grass were destroyed, the horses and livestock were poisoned by poisonous insects, and 30% of the army was lost. The morale of the army was shattered.
In Long'an Mansion, medicine and food are almost exhausted, and more than half of the soldiers are dead or injured. There is no firewood in the city to cook cooked food. The soldiers and civilians are eating raw beans and chewing raw medicinal materials.
In late May in the capital city of Dachu, the scorching heat was approaching, and the chirping of cicadas became more and more intense, disturbing people's peace.
Emperor Jingyuan hates noise the most. If he usually would have killed the palace people in a rage, he was overjoyed today because good news came from the border town.
Although the method used was somewhat inappropriate, it boosted the morale of the entire army.
"Who said the soldiers from the south can't fight? Look at our soldiers from the south who cut off the heads of the generals from the royal family!" Emperor Jingyuan said to several pavilion elders in the Mingwei Hall. If it hadn't been for the good news, Unfortunately, he wanted to summon all the ministers into the palace and have another morning court meeting.
Dai Shangshu was also very happy. In the past few months, Da Chu lost three cities in a row, and many soldiers in the south died on the road. The emperor was so angry that he was caught and scolded every day when he went to court.
He couldn't stand the scolding and deliberately made himself sick in order to avoid the morning court. As a result, the emperor directly sent someone to carry him into the palace and continued to scold him.
Dai Shangshu almost died from being scolded. When the good news arrived at the Ministry of War today, he was so happy that he fainted. After being revived by the imperial doctor, he immediately came to see the emperor with the good news.
The emperor is indeed very happy.
Several pavilion elders were not as happy as Emperor Jingyuan, because along with the good news came the news that thieves were using poisonous insects to harm Xing'an Prefecture, and that poisonous insects would spread in Dachu.
Your Majesty, the poisonous insects of the Rong bandits are very powerful this time. If they spread in Dachu, I am afraid that all humans and animals will die.
Emperor Jing Yuan was just happy. When he heard this, he darkened his face and said angrily: "The good news said that the insect attractant has been made, and the prescription has been entrusted to the Duke of Yuan and his wife to present to me. What are you worried about?"
Are you deliberately trying to ruin my happiness? !
