Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Chapter 22: Broken Soul Incense

Recently, the morale of the Japanese army has been greatly boosted. The soldiers were encouraged by the first victory, and they were all gearing up to attack the city in one fell swoop. Ye Ziyu also discussed with several lieutenants how to fight next after he recovered.

Xiao Zimiao suggested that it is better to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and was echoed by many lieutenants, but Xiao Ziyin frowned and said that he should take it easy. After arguing, the two parties finally looked at Ye Ziyu to see what she would make.

Ye Ziyu looked at the sand table, looked up after a long time, and saw that everyone was looking at her, he was stunned, and then smiled, "It is a good thing to have morale, but at this time when chasing, one is afraid of being cheated, the ancestor of Chengning also used How could his heirs really be incompetent for the meritorious deeds achieved through blood and sweat? The second is..." Ye Ziyu sighed, "Chifeng has always been regarded as a reserve of combat power. Daxu has not fought for many years, and Chifeng's soldiers and horses are all useless Those who have seen blood, you only want to make meritorious service, I wonder if you have seen the soldiers who have experienced this great victory, do you feel uncomfortable?"

As soon as the voice fell, General Zuo, who had always been silent, spoke first, "As General Ye said, although they all seem to have fighting spirit, they are all inflated, and some people are just arrogant. Besides, many brothers can't rest in peace. Troubled by nightmares, some brothers have lost their appetite and are not in good spirits. The subordinates implore the general to give five days to recuperate."

This Zuo General Baihang was born in Chifeng. Because of his prudent words and deeds, he was quite strategic. He was very silent, and if he opened his mouth today, it means that the Blazing Phoenix Army really needs to adapt and adjust.

The Lord of Luoyan City frowned, "However, life and death on the battlefield are instant matters. Now that the battle is urgent, where will they find the time to rectify it? In the face of national disaster, to put it bluntly, who knows how many times they can live?" Fighting? Why miss the timing? In case someone comes to support..."

The words of the city lord were almost muttered at the end, Bai Hang stared at him without saying a word, looking very fierce.Ye Ziyu nodded, "What the city lord said is very true." Hearing that the city lord of Luoyan City was a little smug, he stared back at Bai Hang, but heard Ye Ziyu say the second half of the sentence, "Then press the left general As I said, let the army recuperate for five days, and the military doctor will prescribe some calming medicine, but the daily practice will continue as usual." Luoyan Chengcheng opened his mouth, looked at Ye Ziyu, then at Bai Hang who was staring at him, and finally Reluctantly lowered his head, "Yes."

******

Although Zi Ziyu also wanted to recuperate for five days with peace of mind, but there were too many people in the barracks, and they were all recruits, so there were too many troubles.Baihang came to the tent with five or six people tied up early in the morning, saying that he had fled the battle and wanted to go back to his hometown.Ye Ziyu glanced at them, they were all about fifteen or sixteen years old, struggling unwillingly after being bundled together.

Ye Ziyu touched his chin and asked, "Why do you want to leave? Tell the truth."

It seems that Ye Ziyu is very talkative, some say that he misses his elderly parents, and some say that he can't bear to kill someone. He always feels that there is a ghost begging for his life. The most interesting one is a rather handsome young man who says he hasn't married a wife yet, and has never tasted a woman. It's a taste, not reconciled, only one looks a little shy, his eyes dodge, and he doesn't look normal.

And there was a stubborn young man in the far corner, looking at Ye Ziyu, he said aggrievedly, "General, I went on the wrong path. I wanted to be a military adviser and be able to make plans and strategize. What's wrong, I didn't arrange a clerical job..."

Ye Ziyu was still smiling, "Then why didn't you tell General Zuo or others, but chose to leave instead?"

The young man shrank his neck, "You are humble, where do you get a way to talk to the generals..."

Ye Ziyu nodded, and finally issued the military order——

Those who missed their parents and fled were sentenced to beheaded, and their heads were sent back to their parents' homes. Those who thought there were ghosts were tied up with thick hemp ropes and thrown into mass graves. Little waiter.The one who refused to speak was imprisoned by Ye Ziyu, and the one who felt that he was an inferior to being a soldier was transferred to Ye Ziyu's side and issued a military order.

Bai Hang frowned, as if he couldn't bear it, "General, according to the military regulations, it is execution, these..."

Ye Ziyu interrupted the words before he finished speaking, "Escaping from the battle will disturb the morale of the army, and even worse, they will leak the inside information of the army after fleeing. Compared with the consequences, I think these punishments are not too much, right?"

Bai Hang pursed his lips, stepped back and stopped pleading, Ye Ziyu was too lazy to listen to their wailing, and turned back to the tent.

It was also from then on that the soldiers who mistakenly thought that Ye Ziyu had a good temper saw her again, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong.Those who waited and watched the situation and wanted to flee also put their minds to rest.

******

It was night, Ye Ziyu's tent had extinguished the candles, he sat on the edge of the bed and tilted his head slightly, half of his face was covered by his slightly long hair, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Quietly, a person bowed his head by Ye Ziyu's bed, as if he appeared suddenly, "My lord, as you expected, the person who fled today was ordered by the Fourth Prince to inject medicine into the barracks meals. "

Ye Ziyu gave a "tsk", seeming to be a little disdainful, but also seemed to be angry, "The fourth prince has a good plan, but I'm afraid he will be disappointed."

There was no wave in Ye Yi's calm voice, "The master asked the subordinate to bring a message to the young master."

"Say."

"Is the young master's heart still facing the west? Don't forget who gave the young master wings."

Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Yi coldly, "Having worked for me for so long, your master still believes in your loyalty... It's strange." After a pause, he said, "Pingxi's [-] troops are really enough? Now that I carry the Chifeng with one hand, who will I be loyal to in the future, the Chifeng...whose is it? Is this so understandable?"

Ye Yi was silent for a while before returning, "This subordinate understands."

Ye Ziyu brushed back the messy hair in front of his forehead, "Then you can return my words to King Pingxi as it is, and set off immediately."

Ye Yi nodded, "Yes."

There was an unforeseen situation, and I wanted to repair and attack, but unexpectedly it was cold in the spring, and the padded clothes in reserve were not delivered in time, and a large number of soldiers fell ill due to this.However, the strange thing is that the wind and cold will only infect some people, but this time it is true that nearly [-]% of the people have a fever and do not wake up.

Some veteran generals who have seen this kind of scene are worried, maybe it is not the plague?

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sudden commotion, and the military doctors in the army couldn't see why, so they had to find a local famous doctor to see it.It was a well-known old doctor who came. After seeing the symptoms of several soldiers, his expression relaxed. I will get sick again, I'm afraid it's because the soldiers have just arrived and caught up with the epidemic season that they fell ill so many."

Ye Ziyu nodded, "Then trouble Mr. to prescribe some quick-acting medicine."

The old gentleman seemed to be very talkative, and he didn't seem afraid of being surrounded by a bunch of generals. He said while writing the prescription, "This is not a serious illness, but the medicines used are somewhat expensive, but it shouldn't be a problem for the army. question."

General Zuo frowned slightly, "Wouldn't the poor family have to wait to die if they got this disease?"

The old man shook his head, "No, Zhuxin can cure this disease. Although Zhuxin is also a drug, the medicine Yinshanghunxiang is rare and precious. The cure for this disease of poor people can only be cured by Zhuxin. Fortunately, If you don't smell the fragrance of breaking the soul, killing the heart will not deplete the body. Speaking of which, the generals and soldiers in the battalion are all in good health, but only [-]% of them fell ill. Normally, only a small number of people can avoid it..."

The old man continued to babble, but at this time, everyone with a little brain reacted, with disbelief and panic in his eyes, Xiao Zimiao frowned and asked, "Then...how can we tell if there is a problem in this person's body? Has the poison of killing the heart?"

The old gentleman put down the pen, and Fang Zi handed it to the military doctor, "This is easy to handle. There is a kind of Zhuxin leaf, which is also very common. If you eat it, it feels tasteless, but you have never eaten Zhuxin. If you feel sour, it is... "

Before he finished speaking, seeing Ye Ziyu nodding his head, General Zuo hurried out and ordered someone to find Zhu Xinye.

After seeing off the old gentleman, they waited for carloads of Zhu Xinye to arrive.Although Zhuxin is highly poisonous, it can be seen everywhere in southern Hunan, and Zhuxin leaves are naturally not rare.Distributing Zhu Xin Ye to all the soldiers to eat, checked them one by one, and finally found that... nearly [-]% of the people found Zhu Xin Ye so sour and hard to swallow!

For a moment, looking at each other was a little confused.Ye Ziyu glanced at Xiao Ziyin, who was sweating on his forehead, and Xiao Zimiao, who seemed to be very worried, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "This matter must not be leaked, if I find out that there is something going on outside..." General Zuo nodded, " These subordinates naturally understand, the most urgent thing is how to solve this matter, Zhu Xin...how can we solve it?"

Ye Ziyu shook his head, wrote a note in front of all the generals, sealed it with wax, and ordered his soldiers to send it to Xudu overnight.

"This is a serious matter, and the emperor must be informed as soon as possible. In addition, if we send someone to find the famous doctor Huai Ying, it may be possible to solve it."

This night, Xu Shi felt unusually depressed, and the patrolling soldiers were more cautious. Ye Ziyu and Yi sat in the dark, without any sleepiness, slightly pursed his lips, looking very comfortable, rubbing the smooth cup in his hand The wall seemed to be waiting for something.It wasn't until there was a noise not far away, which lasted for about a moment, that Ye Ziyu got up slowly, his expression became quite serious, his face was full of unhappiness at being interrupted, and he walked out, asking in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" so loud?"

Surrounded by the flames was the tent of the eldest prince Xiao Ziyin, and in front of the tent, a soldier was pressed to the ground, a bundle of pipes was thrown beside him, and Xiao Ziyin's face was livid.

Ye Ziyu looked down at the soldiers on the ground, "What's the matter? An assassin? A sneak attack on the First Prince?"

And General Zuo's complexion was even worse than Xiao Ziyin's, "The one in the tube... is Broken Soul Incense."
