Within half an hour, the knights rode forward one after another. They all held a package, which was carried on the side of the horse. A strong stench came from it. The knights dismounted one after another, covered their noses, and slowly approached Bao Hong. , Bao Hong's face was also extremely unhappy at this moment, and he frowned tightly. He didn't know what he was thinking about. A knight asked: "Bao Sima, what are we going to do with these...?"
Bao Hong looked at them and said with some resentment: "The Xianbei people killed Duke Zhang. Do you want to avenge Duke Zhang?"
Many soldiers' faces turned red, they slapped their chests and shouted: "I wish I could die with Duke Zhang!!" Bao Hong nodded and said: "The Xianbei people will come to my Guzang County soon, here. It is the last barrier for the entire Liangzhou to resist foreign enemies. We must not lose anything. I think...use this thing to pollute the surrounding well water...if I can kill one or two Xianbei dogs, it is worth it!"
"What do you think?"
"Dare you disobey me!!"
Some soldiers asked in confusion: "If you use this thing to insult the well water, can you really poison the Xianbei dogs??" Bao Hong nodded and said: "So outside Guzang County, we looked around for well water and threw dead bodies into it. , but don’t invest too much, so as not to be noticed by the Xianbei dogs... You can go on your own, and you must return to the county before sunset!"
"Besides, this matter must not be taught to anyone!"
The soldiers nodded and ran away quickly.
Looking at the soldiers going away, Bao Hong sighed helplessly, and suddenly felt a little scared. Is what that guy said true? Just a few corpses can cause an epidemic here? If what he said is true, this man , it is really terrible! Thinking about a huge epidemic, even he can't help but feel his scalp numb. This epidemic does not recognize people. If Liangzhou...
He quickly shook his head to put the terrible thoughts out of his mind, holding the package in hand, and ran towards the well water in the distance.
At night, these knights returned to the city one after another. Everyone's expression was a little solemn, but there was a foul smell on their bodies. Bao Hong did not go to see Zheng Xuan first, but ordered everyone to wash up. After washing, he rushed there in a hurry Zhang Xu's residence was a residence chosen by Zheng Xuan for him. It was originally Zhang Gong's residence. When Bao Hong walked in in a hurry, he found Zhang Xu studying calmly.
Bao Hong rushed over, grabbed his neck, and asked fiercely: "If the epidemic spreads everywhere in Liangzhou, what should I do?" Zhang Xu said calmly: "I'll leave it to fate." When Bao Hong heard this, , was even more angry. He gritted his teeth and raised his fist, but he could not bring it down. He struggled to let go of his hand, covered his head, and sat in front of him.
After a moment, he raised his head and asked in confusion: "Can those dead bodies really cause disease?"
Zhang Xu raised the book in his hand and said: "Whenever there is a war and there are many corpses, there will be a great epidemic. I have thought about it for a long time and read a lot of books, but I can't figure it out. However, I was lucky enough to I talked with an old doctor from Peiguoqiao County. His medical skills were amazing. From his mouth, I learned that the dirty corpses were the cause of the epidemic. He actually said that the epidemic could be prevented by burning the corpses..."
"I don't know if you believe it or not. In short, I do believe it. A dirty corpse left with people for a long time can cause a serious epidemic, let alone if it enters the body directly?" Zhang Xu said, looked at him again, and said with some disdain. "You should stay away from me in the future. I don't want to be infected by you. The body cannot be buried in the ground and will be burned!" Bao Hong sneered for a moment, stood up slowly, and walked out of the house.
When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Xu and said: "These days, I will be alone with the soldiers and will not meet with outsiders. If I have any illness, I will not need you. I will burn myself to death!" "After he finished speaking, he paused and then said: "If I die, I still have a young brother at home. I'll call you a letter. I hope you can take care of it for me..."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhang Xu sat indifferently for a while, his face slowly became solemn, he stood up, shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Wenhe, Wenhe, your kindness will sooner or later kill you!" , he threw the book in his hand on the slip and walked directly outside.
"What? You want the people to help defend the city?? If so, there will be many casualties among the people!"
Zheng Xuan frowned and said.
"They are not asked to go up the city wall and fight bloody battles with the enemy. They are asked to carry stones, heavy wood, pots and cauldrons. As for the city wall, Duke Zheng does not know that the enemy is attacking the city from outside. If the bows and crossbows are exhausted, they can only Instead of fighting hand-to-hand, if there are such objects, they can hit the enemy. Mr. Bao also learned about this, but he did not prepare enough. Therefore, I hope Zheng Gong can call on the people to pick up some heavy objects as a defense against the enemy. use!"
"In addition, Xianbei's archery skills are excellent, so it is necessary to dismantle the houses and use the wood to strengthen the city walls to prevent the Xianbei people's projectiles..."
"Also, you can ask the blacksmith in the city to use broken iron or melt copper coins in the county treasury to make a large number of iron thorns and sharp objects and scatter them outside the city..."
"Also, there are many horses in Xianbei, but he is different from us. He loves horses, so he does not geld. He can take the female horse from the city and save it..."
"In addition, you can set up traps outside the city to cut off the horses' hooves. If you don't know something, when charging into the formation, if a horse falls to the ground, it will cause chaos in the entire formation..."
Looking at Zhang Xu who was talking without any pause, Zheng Xuan was dumbfounded. Not to mention him, even the several lieutenant generals on the side were also extremely surprised. They listened carefully. Zhang Xu spoke for a long time, and some words were spoken. He was thirsty, so Zheng Xuan immediately ran over to get him a ladle of water. Zhang Xu drank it all in one gulp without even refusing. After drinking, he started talking again.
He talked for a long time, and then slowly said: "In this way, as long as we can persist for ten days, I think reinforcements will arrive. It is impossible for the temple not to send reinforcements, and the person who can command the army in the court must be Duan Gong, Duan Gongzhi The army has always been famous for its rapid attacks. I think Duan Gong must be arriving in Liangzhou soon. We will leave Xianbei here. As soon as Duan Gong arrives, the Xianbei army, which has already lost its morale and morale, will definitely die here! !!”
Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked: "You are quite familiar with Mr. Duan!"
Zhang Xu coughed in embarrassment and did not answer. Instead, he said: "So, what do you think of this untalented strategy?"
Everyone nodded and said, "Okay!"
Only Zheng Xuan looked at Zhang Xu strangely, shook his head and said:
"Zhang Xu, you still said you don't know how to fight?"
"Oh... I stayed in Zhang Gong's mansion and found a copy of the Art of War written by Zhang Gong himself. These are Zhang Gong's strategies on how to defend the enemy. I don't know what I got..." Zhang Xu replied calmly. Zheng Xuan suddenly became interested and asked: "Where is this art of war? Let all the captains take a look!!"
"Well, I will show you this military law in two days..." Zhang Xu looked at the great scholar in front of him and his face twitched.
"Wenhe, Wenhe, this is what you get for meddling in your own business..."
