The World of Yellow Sky

Zhao Ji naturally knew the psychology of these people. He had already sent an unknown number of people to the north bank via the pontoon bridge.

The noisy sound only rang for a while and then stopped. They rushed here all the way from the four states and all over the world. Naturally, no one would make trouble. His food and lodging were all settled by these Yellow Turban soldiers.

Zhao Ji beckoned, called a few Tiqi under his command, and asked them to lead the crowd who were still queuing up to the nearest camp.

The aroma of porridge and rice was already in the air, and everyone was actually a little hungry, so they followed the wolf guard's Tiqi and walked towards the camp.

……

The sky is getting darker, and the road will be completely invisible almost immediately. The moon is also showing a bright figure, and the dots of stars are dotted in the dark night sky, looking quite shining.

The crowd slowly marched towards the bright place, where was the simple camp built by the Yellow Turban Army, and the aroma of porridge and rice wafted out from inside.

"It's delicious!"

The child sniffed greedily, stood on tiptoe, and seemed to want to see the road ahead, but turned his black eyes on his dirty face, the sky was getting dark, but he was already It was almost impossible to see the way.

"Go slowly and don't rush, one after another, if you feel that you hit something, stop and report immediately."

Zhao Ji clenched his fist and pressed it against his lips, and then coughed twice. He blew the wind by the water during the day, but he seemed to be a little sick. He tightened his clothes and felt a little warmer. He spoke to the crowd.

Many people cannot see things and roads at night, and night blindness is very common, which is why Zhao Ji reminded them.

Now that Zhao Ji is a member of the Eagle Wolf Guard, he eats much better food than before. Xu An also specially added some ingredients that can prevent night blindness to the soldiers' recipes as much as possible.

But after all, the ingredients are limited, and night blindness is still relatively common. However, for Eagle Wolf Guards, none of them have night blindness. Because of the nature of his work, the ingredients Xu An arranged for them do not lack those trace elements. .

'"Ahem...ahem..."

There were several coughing sounds from the crowd.

"So many people catch a cold..."

Zhao Ji frowned slightly. This is not a good omen. There are not many medicinal materials in the army now.

Zhang Ji also frowned. He is in charge of medical care, so naturally he is very aware of the current predicament.

"It's been a few months since I came here from Qingzhou. It's October now. I think many people are still wearing summer clothes. The weather is already cold. If they are blown by the Zhangshui River, they may catch a cold."

Zhang Ji thought for a moment, then leaned into Zhao Ji's ear and said.

"Baihu, I'll ask people to boil some ginger soup for them to drink, otherwise so many people catch a cold, and if it becomes a disease, it's not good. There are not so many medicinal materials in the army now."

"Okay, you go first, make more ginger soup, and make sure everyone can have a bowl."

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment. He noticed that there were indeed too many coughing people in the team. He nodded and agreed to Zhang Ji's request.

Zhang Ji cupped his fists to accept the order, and trotted forward.

"and many more."

Before Zhang Ji ran a few steps, Zhao Ji called Zhang Ji to stop.

"What's the matter, Baihu?"

Zhang Ji turned around and looked at Zhao Ji with some doubts. Although it was dark, Zhang Ji still noticed that Zhao Ji looked unwell, even a little embarrassed.

Zhao Ji coughed twice at first, as if he was struggling a bit, he took a while and then continued: "Many people in the place we are in charge of have caught a cold, and the situation in other places should be similar. You will send people to other camps later, and let them They boiled some ginger soup for the people in the camp, and then told them to protect themselves from the cold."

"I understand." Zhang Ji nodded, "Baihu, after the patrol, go to Fu Zhu to get some medicine, I think you seem to be a little serious, and it will be difficult to deal with some diseases. "

Zhao Ji waved his hand, smiled reluctantly and said, "I know, I'll go over after dinner."

When Zhang Ji heard that Zhao Ji agreed, he turned around and ran towards the camp. He wanted to make ginger soup in advance.

……

The crowd walked slowly because it was getting late, and after a while, the sun had already sunk below the horizon, and after the dark night, the crowd walked into the lighted camp.

"You guys have worked hard."

As soon as he entered the camp, a Yellow Turban commander in military uniform greeted him and saluted Zhao Ji.

"The things I have to do are all what I should do. I dare not say it is hard."

Zhao Ji also bowed solemnly and replied.

"Master Xu, let's get busy first, these people haven't eaten yet."

"Okay, it's still the same place, I left some food for you guys, but you're a little late today, I'm afraid it's getting cold."

The head of the village smiled, talked to Zhao Ji for a few more words, then turned and left.

At the porridge shed not far away, porridge distribution also began. The crowd received their porridge and rice in an orderly manner without any noise. This has almost become their habit. They have lived such a life for a long time.

Zhao Ji withdrew his gaze, and led Lin Zhong to a military tent not far away. Lin Zhong opened the military tent and walked in. After a while, he took out two small clay pots. The one in full bloom is corn and rice, and the other clay pot is filled with other miscellaneous foods, such as beans.

At this time, Zhang Ji also came over from the porridge shed, holding a small earthen pot in his hand, and it seemed that the ginger soup had been cooked.

"Baihu, how do you feel now?"

Zhang Ji sat down with the clay pot, and then handed the pot to Zhao Ji.

"I've already had a bowl of the freshly boiled ginger soup. I made a serving of ginger soup for two. You and Lin Zhong should drink some to warm your body."

"Row."

Zhao Ji took the clay pot with a smile. He really felt that his body was a little cold now, and he didn't refuse, so he put his mouth to the edge of the pot and drank.

The warm ginger soup flowed down the throat into the stomach, and Zhao Ji felt a little warmth.

"This ginger soup does have some effect."

Zhao Ji smiled, and handed the ginger soup to Lin Zhong who was beside him. Lin Zhong took the clay pot and quickly drank the remaining ginger soup. Although Yinglangwei's winter clothes are thick, the riverside is also real Some cold.

After drinking the ginger soup, the three of them took a water bag, washed their hands, and then stretched their hands into the earthenware pot containing the food. They didn't use a container to put it in, and just grabbed the corn, rice and beans with their hands and ate it. stand up.

The eating utensils they brought were basically distributed to those people. Many people who came all the way from the four states didn't even have containers for porridge.

Zhao Ji watched those people with his own eyes, and waited until the porridge was cold before going to the porridge shed, and asked the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army to put the porridge in their hands, and then ate the porridge like that.

Speaking of which, they didn't really care about cleaning that much. Zhao Ji never paid much attention to hygiene when he was in the Taihang Mountains before, but according to Xu An's latest regulations, the whole army began to pay attention.

These regulations have nothing to do with combat, but mainly in life and regulations that need to be paid attention to when marching and camping.

For example, try not to drink raw water directly. The raw water that cannot be drunk directly is the water in the wild. The regulations stipulate that if there are conditions, it must be boiled before drinking. If there are no conditions, the scouts must first investigate clearly to see if there is any water source. polluted.

There is also the need to wash your hands before eating, what to pay attention to personal hygiene, in a word, keep clean, whether it is an individual, a barracks, or even the entire camp needs to be kept clean.

Although there are many more rules and regulations, although the people in the army find it troublesome, but because these rules were formulated by Xu An himself, although everyone complained at the beginning, the people in the army still chose to implement them. The implementation in the military is still very smooth.

And these regulations are said to reduce the occurrence of diseases and prevent non-combat attrition.

However, those rhetoric are a bit esoteric, and most of the soldiers don't understand it well. They only implement it because of Xu An's prestige in the army. However, after a period of implementation, many people have discovered that diarrhea and The number of sick people seems to have decreased a lot, not as many and as frequently as before.

This discovery also raised Xu An's already lofty prestige in the army, and everyone no longer disbelieved Xu An's words.

Xu An added some regulations later, and these regulations were not resisted at all, and everyone was earnestly implementing the regulations promulgated by Xu An.

Zhao Ji and the others ate very quickly, and in less than a moment, the three of them finished the food in the crock pot. His long military career made him develop such a habit.

Whether it is Zhao Ji, or Lin Zhong and Zhang Ji, all three of them were born in the army. Zhao Ji is a soldier, Lin Zhong is a scout in the army, and Zhang Ji has been following Xu An. All eaten very quickly.

"Come on, check the ferry and the raft."

Zhao Ji patted the dust off his body, stood up, and said to Lin Zhong and Zhang Ji.

One of their tasks at night is to check whether the ferry and rafts at the ferry are damaged. After all, these things need to be used as soon as the light is released the next day.

Lin Zhong and Zhang Ji stood up together without any delay. Those who came out of the ranks were clean and neat, without the habit of procrastinating, and in a sense, the Eagle and Wolf Guards were actually an army. However, it is not fighting the enemy on the battlefield, but fighting the enemy in the dark, in the interior.

Except for the civil servants and a small number of tiqi who are Fu Zhu of the Yellow Turban Army, the members who make up the Eagle Wolf Guard are basically selected from various armies and included in the Eagle Wolf Guard. Among them, the military spirit is very heavy, and Liu Pi also manages the Eagle Wolf Guard by means of managing the army.

Zhao Ji had just walked a few steps, and when he passed a place without lights, a black shadow suddenly flashed over from a gap between the tents on one side. Although the speed of the black shadow was not fast, it was a little short, but Zhao Ji Didn't notice it at first.

Zhao Ji had practiced on the battlefield for a long time, and he was also a Hundred Household Officer of the Eagle Wolf Guard in Jiangyi City, although his reaction was relatively quick.

But the camp he is currently in is close to the ferry, in the most hinterland, and there are nearly [-] people on the periphery, and he has never heard the news of the Han army's secret operations on weekdays, so Zhao Ji is quite tired these days, both physically and mentally. Relax.

And because he caught a cold, his head was a little dizzy, so his reaction was naturally a bit slower, and he couldn't react in time, so he collided with the black shadow.

Hearing only a muffled "dong", Zhao Ji first felt his knees shake, and then heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

"Who!"

Zhang Ji and Lin Zhong's expressions changed, and they instantly pulled out the Yanling Saber from their waists. They reached out their hands almost at the same time to grab Zhao Ji, pulled Zhao Ji back, and protected Zhao Ji with the Yanling Saber. score.

Jiangyi City is adjacent to the area controlled by the Han army, and the Embroidered Cloth Messenger and the Han Army's secret agents have infiltrated. Zhao Ji has naturally encountered several assassinations. Zhang Ji and Lin Zhong naturally have some experience in responding to emergencies .

Zhao Ji also reacted at this time, and instantly pressed a hand on the Yanling Saber.

"This……"

The three of them came to their senses, and only then did they see the scene around them clearly. The black shadow was not the work of the Han army, nor was it an assassin, but a child.

The child fell to the ground and was touching his head with his hands, with a painful expression on his face. He should have just been knocked down to the ground, but it was strange not to see him crying.

Zhao Ji, Lin Zhong, and Zhang Ji looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment, this was the first time they encountered such a situation.

In the end, it was Zhang Jixian who came to his senses. In a brazier, he lit a portable torch next to him, and then returned to Zhao Ji's side.

Only then did the child see the three people standing in front of him.

The child first took a look at the clothes of Zhao Ji and the three, and he recognized that the three in front of him were the ones who directed the people on the pontoon bridge before, and regardless of being knocked to the ground just now, he suppressed the pain and shouted eagerly.

"My mother seems to be sick, can you help me?"

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, but someone immediately reacted, gently pushed away Lin Zhong who was blocking him, and pressed Lin Zhong's knife-holding hand at the same time.

Lin Zhong turned around knowingly, and put away the Yanling Saber in his hand, and Zhang Ji, who was holding a torch on the other side, also put away the Yanling Saber when he saw this.

Zhao Ji looked at the child in front of him, but he thought of his son in Jiangyi City. His son was about the same age as the child in front of him.

"Where is your mother? What's the matter?"

Zhao Ji squatted down, half-kneeling on the ground, his face softened a little, and asked softly.

"I was sleeping with A Niang, but I was woken up by the heat..."

"Aniang is so hot, her whole body is so hot, it's like being next to a fire when she sticks to her body. My name is Aniang, and Aniang ignored me, so I ran out to find someone..."

The child spoke out the outline of the matter intermittently.

Zhao Ji's complexion didn't change at first, but after hearing the child's words, his complexion gradually began to change.

"Where is your mother, take me there quickly."

Zhao Ji looked extremely embarrassed, he pressed the Yanling Saber on his waist, and said to the child.

"It's right next to it, not far away."

The child was also a little anxious. After all, his mother was sick. His father told him when he followed those people wearing yellow scarves that he must take good care of his mother.

At that time, he had promised his father swearingly that a man would keep his promise, and he would do what he said. This was what his father taught him.

"You come with me."

The child beckoned to Zhao Ji and ran to a tent.

Zhao Ji stood up and watched the child run outside a camp. He didn't speak or move.

His heart kept sinking and falling downwards. The temperature was not too cold, but Zhao Ji felt chilly all over his body as if he was standing in the midwinter season with heavy snow.

He thought of an extremely terrifying thing...

It was the same situation back then.

First, someone started to cough in the mountains. Everyone thought they had caught a cold accidentally, but then more and more people coughed, and their bodies became weak.

The people in the settlement that year were ten rooms and nine empty...

Chapter 4 and Four

"Baihu, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhao Ji standing there, Zhang Ji stepped forward slightly.

Under the firelight, Zhao Ji's face became more and more terrifying, Zhang Ji's heart sank, and he also felt something bad.

He didn't know what happened, but Zhao Ji climbed out of the battlefield where there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and later he was qualified to be the Hundred Household Officer of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

Not long after taking office, he cracked the first major case in Jiangyi City and disintegrated the arrangement of the Han army's meticulous arrangements. The Yellow Turban Army also saw through the Han army's intentions and took precautions in advance, thus avoiding large-scale losses.

No matter when the Han army came to attack, or when the assassins attacked, or when it was a life-and-death fight, Zhang Ji never saw Zhao Ji's face sour to the point where he is now.

"Hundred households..."
