Zhai Le did not hear the underlying meaning of Shen Tang's words.
He thought that Shen Tang was just sympathizing with the people who died tragically, so he sighed: "Such a high degree of force, not to mention these ordinary people, even I dare not say that I will be safe and sound after landing, most likely I will have to stay in bed for three days with broken muscles and bones." Five days…”
Zhai Le or the seventh-class official are in such a miserable state, let alone the ordinary people who are sick and sick? Now I can only pray that they will not suffer too much pain before they die, and the rest——
It is really beyond our reach and there is nothing we can do to help!
Thinking of this, Zhai Le wished he could smash the bunker to pieces with one fist, but he couldn't rush out to stop it without saying a word. The enemy had plenty of food and fodder, and they were full of hundreds of exhausted remnants. They rushed out to give people military honors.
Shen Tang said: "That's not what I meant."
She was not naive enough to think that a living person could survive being thrown out by a trebuchet over a high city wall. She was just blessed in her heart, and then a flash of inspiration came to mind, and some terrible speculations emerged in her mind: "I'm worried that the corpses of the people will be destroyed." Cause epidemics.”
Hearing the word "epidemic", Zhai Le's scalp instantly became numb.
He said: "Epidemic, epidemic???"
Zhai Le looked at the gate of Xiaocheng in shock and fear.
He didn't know whether it was Shen Tang's words that gave him some hint or a psychological effect. He felt that the Xiaocheng wall under the night was like a giant beast curled up and trembling on the ground with weak breath. Facing the minions and claws exposed by the rebels, he could not help but feel that No resistance.
Shen Tang said: "What's surprising about this?"
Zhai Le asked: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Shen Tang: “After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic.”
She was just thinking about how all those people were so sick. Three to five out of ten were normal. After all, it was difficult for the elderly and children to survive in the current environment. In addition, due to lack of resistance, the chance of getting sick was higher than that of young adults. But , the people who were thrown into Xiaocheng all looked sick, this is very wrong!
It didn't look like the rebels had captured them randomly, but rather they looked like they had been carefully selected. Once this idea came to mind, other speculations became logical. Why did the rebels pick a group of sick people and put them there? Thrown into Xiaocheng?
If it is just to shock, which common people are different?
Why spend more time alone?
Unless they are deliberately releasing sick people!
Shen Tang suddenly remembered the saying "After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic." She explained: "Although this statement is not absolute, but carefully observing the lives of people after every natural and man-made disaster, there is still some truth. Most epidemics are related to Drinking unhealthy water, eating contaminated food, coupled with rats and mosquitoes running around, it is very easy for large-scale epidemics to break out."
Natural disasters such as floods, and man-made disasters such as war.
There are no natural disasters now, but man-made disasters are just around the corner.
Xiaocheng is besieged by rebels. The people in the city not only face the threat of the rebels, but also face crises such as drinking water and food. It is not only the people of Xiaocheng who are also trapped, but also animals, such as snakes, insects, rats and ants. They are hungry. Crazy, what food can’t be eaten?
Zhai Le was stunned for a long time.
He knew that epidemics tend to spread after natural and man-made disasters, but he never thought that it was related to food and drinking water. Instead, he heard the traditional Chinese medicine doctor of his tribe say, "Plague is a disease, not wind, not cold, not heat, not dampness, but There is a strange feeling between heaven and earth."
In layman's terms, plague is related to the evil energy between heaven and earth. When evil energy enters the body, diseases will occur. People with weak bodies, such as the elderly and children, are most susceptible to the disease. What is evil energy? It is estimated that it is related to the energy of heaven and earth, and the cultural energy. The same martial spirit.
It's just that the energy of heaven and earth can be transformed into literary energy, and martial energy can be used by people, which is beneficial energy, while evil energy can only cause diseases.
Different seasons have different strengths and weaknesses.
result--
My friend said that the epidemic is related to drinking water.
Does he trust the doctor or his friends?
Zhai Le doesn't think about this for the time being.
He asked: "How can the corpses of sick people... cause epidemics? No matter how hungry the people in the city are, they will not eat now."
After all, it’s not yet time to run out of ammunition and food.
By that time, the body was almost completely decomposed.
Shen Tang asked him back: "If you were a citizen or a soldier in the city, and so many corpses fell from the sky, would you let them rot and stink, bury them everywhere, or save trouble and just throw them into the moat? If you bury them, snakes and insects will Rats and ants will dig out the corpses when they are hungry, and if they throw them into the moat... Guess, the water for people to drink is not clean?"
In this era, except for some people from wealthy families who drink boiled water, most people drink raw water. In their view, as long as the water quality is clear, they can drink it, but they do not know that there are a lot of microorganisms and even parasites hidden in the water. .
No matter how healthy your body is, you can't help but do this.
Zhai Le said: "This..."
Doesn't he want to say that this has always been the case in the past?
There are no epidemics everywhere.
If even drinking water was so dangerous, would there be anyone alive in the world? But Shen Tang said it so emphatically that he couldn't help but believe it.
"Whether the rebels did this intentionally or unintentionally..." Shen Tang paused after saying this, and looked slightly sad. No matter which way it was, how could she help? Neither could she turn the tide and repel the rebels, nor could she help. It cannot save the people of Xiaocheng from fire and water.
Suddenly, a strong sense of powerlessness made her sigh.
She watched a tragedy happen but was unable to reverse it. Only she knew the bitter taste of it. She had previously joked that Qi Shan was capable but pessimistic by nature. Since she couldn't stand the world, why not actively join it and choose A wise master in his heart, he will do his best to assist, and work together to calm down the troubled times... No matter what, it is better than making sarcastic remarks.
Thinking about it now, the clown is actually herself.
She now seems to be able to understand Qi Shan's words, "There has never been a time of 'stable situation' in the land of the four directions." It's not that he is pessimistic by nature, but he is just a young man with hot blood. He has not been severely beaten by real life and does not know how to "pacify troubled times." "How heavy is the weight of these four words.
【Old rivers and mountains are full of new worries】.
It's not that easy to calm down the troubled times.
In the end, there was only one sigh -
I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but in the end it was not like I was a young man traveling.
Young man...
Before Shen Tang could finish her sigh, she was forcibly interrupted by a slap on the back of the head from Qi Shan. She covered the painful back of her head and glared at Qi Shan, saying, "Why did you sneak up on me?"
Don’t talk about martial ethics!
Qishan frowned: "What's your expression?"
Unexpectedly, I started to feel sad.
His expression was as dejected as if he was mourning someone.
Shen Tang rubbed the back of his head and muttered: "Didn't I suddenly understand your state of mind at that time? Alas - but you hit me, I won't apologize to you...be gentler next time." If it weren't for the lack of malice, She might have broken his hand just now.
Qishan: "..."
It took a while to understand what Shen Tang was referring to.
He couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you, a twelve-year-old boy, lamenting this? It's not like you're too late to walk."
Pretending to be old-fashioned really deserves a beating.
Shen Tang: "..."
Qishan raised his eyebrows again and said jokingly: "Youli is only twelve, and I am only twenty-four. At this age, I have begun to sigh, 'We are not the same, we are young.' What do you want Chu Wuhui to lament?"
They are all still young.
Being young means having strength.
How can I not bear the words "pacify the world"!
The Filial City in front of them is just the tip of the iceberg, a microcosm of the entire troubled world. They can't do anything about it now, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to do it in the future. Neither he nor Shen Xiaolangjun should be paralyzed by the difficulties at hand. Fighting spirit!
Shen Tang: "..."
For a moment, I didn’t know whether to complain about Qi Wushan’s ability to remember Hei Wuhui anytime and anywhere, or whether to complain about him taking the wrong medicine and suddenly his blood boiled.
However, thanks to Qi Shan's intervention, she successfully escaped from that powerless and decadent mood, and subconsciously began to think about how to deal with it.
We have a small number of people and almost no food and grass.
There is no hope in fighting the rebels head-on.
So, can we do it in a roundabout way?
For example--
Use the other way to repay the other side? Or intercept and kill their food team and harass them as much as possible? Or, sneak into the city and try to contact the commander who is currently in Xiaocheng to see if you can be of any help. A reminder may A disaster occurred?
Shen Tang hesitated.
In the end, I still have to discuss it with Qi Shan and others.
The outcome of the discussion is still unknown, but Yang Duwei, a big man, had red eyes and almost cried in public. He did not expect that in such a desperate situation, there would be benevolent and righteous people willing to run for Xiaocheng.
Shen Tang: "..."
Hey, if Captain Yang knew who intercepted the tax money he was looking after, he would probably fly into a rage and beat her on the head.
_(:з)∠)_
Qishan was interested in the first proposal.
Zhai Huan preferred the second one.
Captain Yang denied the third one.
A few of them, scribes and warriors, could sneak into Xiaocheng without alerting the enemy, but the soldiers who followed them could not. Without their command and dispatch, they would be dead if they encountered the rebels. As for the first and second ones, he Wavering again.
Zhai Huan: "..."
The difficulty in choosing has occurred again, right?
Shen Tang muttered: "It would be great if we could surround Wei and save Zhao."
Let the rebels withdraw their troops on their own initiative!
It's a pity that they don't know where the rebels' weaknesses are. The first and second plans are also based on harassment, and it is difficult to cause devastating damage to the rebels. It would be great if they can use their strength to fight...
Take advantage of...
Hit hard?
Something suddenly flashed in Shen Tang's mind.
She said: "Wait a minute - I suddenly thought of a way. Maybe we can use each other's spear to attack our own shield... let Zheng Qiao's family dog eat dog! We have a small number of troops, but there are definitely people with more troops. , isn’t it Zheng Qiao?”
Zhai Le said: "Zheng Qiao sent troops to assist Xiaocheng?"
Zhai Huan also said: "It's unlikely."
The rebels led by King She suddenly rebelled and launched a surprise attack. Zheng Qiao didn't know when he received the news. Furthermore, although Xiaocheng is the capital of Sibao County, and Sibao County has a good geographical location, it is not important enough for Zheng Qiao to meet. The extent of taking time for special care.
In comparison, other lost ground is more important.
Shen Tang added: "What if... the national seal is in Xiaocheng? Zheng Qiao has the national seal of Geng Kingdom, so the rebels are not afraid of him, but once the national seal of Xiaocheng falls into the hands of King She and other rebels , the situation is very different again! If Zheng Qiao knew, he would definitely send troops to stop it as soon as possible! As long as Xiaocheng can hold on until then, there may be a glimmer of hope!"
