The torrential rain gradually stopped at dawn.

Xihe's sunlight shone on Wang Shi's camp sixty miles away from the holy river.

After the overnight initial diagnosis by military doctor Pei Yiheng, the reason for General Xiong Hu's madness before the battle was basically found.

What General Xiong Hu ordered was a forbidden drug called "Lichunhua".

Speaking of this kind of lichun flower, Han Mo Chushi is very familiar with it.

Lichunhua was originally a tribute from a small country in southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains. Its flowers are beautiful and beautiful. After decocting and taking it, it can cure chronic diarrhea and chronic cough. Its flower seeds are ground into powder and prepared into ointment. It has a great tonic effect, and it was very popular in the big country of the Central Plains for a while.

Until the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mr. Yi Wei was in charge of paying tribute to the Honghe Temple. When he saw the rosy spring flower seeds in the tribute, he immediately offered it to the emperor!The Emperor Zu said that although Li Chunhua can nourish the body, both its leaves and its fruits have the effect of making people addicted.

Especially the black ointment in the flowers and fruits, once taken out and slightly purified, it can become addictive after being burned.Once the addiction occurs, the whole body will be bitten by thousands of insects, the five internal organs will be boiled, and the bones will be painful. In severe cases, hallucinations will occur, and everything around them will be regarded as ghosts.

The most frightening thing is that once the drug is addicted, there is no cure and it is difficult to quit. It can turn the person who uses the traditional Chinese medicine into a living skeleton with only breathing.

too!The emperor accepted his advice and returned all the Ponceau japonicas to the small country, and strictly prohibited anyone in Dazhou to plant them. All the farmers who had planted them must destroy them all, leaving no one.Anyone who dares to plant this plant in the territory of Dazhou and its subordinate states should be executed by half, and the crime will be punished by the three clans.

When Mr. Yi Wei was talking about medical books with Su Che, he held up a drawing of "Lichunhua" and repeatedly emphasized to them who were still very young at that time that whenever and wherever they saw such flowers, they should be destroyed. Go, you can't give this forbidden drug the slightest chance to breathe.

Due to the strict legislation of this drug in Dazhou, Han Mochu has never seen the true face of this banned drug since he was a child.

When Pei Yiheng said that Xionghu's madness was caused by this forbidden drug, Han Mochu's heart couldn't help being shocked.

Right now in wartime, fighting in the rainy season is both an advantage and a disadvantage for the heavy weapons of the Great Zhou King Division.

Su Che was next to Gu Xiu again, and Han Mochu ordered the generals to search through all the food, water sources, including weapons, firewood and ammunition, but there was no trace of this banned drug.

At dawn, Xiong Hu, who was awakened by Han Mochu's slap, started to get angry again, and with a roar, he almost strangled to death the young soldier who came in to deliver food to him.

When Han Mochu, who hadn't slept all night, arrived, he saw Xiong Hu's eyes were bloodshot, his expression painful, and he was desperately destroying everything in sight.

Han Mochu had no choice but to order General Xiong Hu to be tied to the bed with iron chains again, and ordered the military doctor Pei Yiheng and others to pour three or four bowls of calming soup before Xiong Hu calmed down again.

Xionghu's side was in trouble, and five days later in the battle of crossing the river, two generals of the Yun family army suddenly went berserk on the battlefield, their appearance was no different from Xionghu's.

As a result, the army of 1 people was in chaos when they confronted the White Elephant Army head-on, and thousands of people were killed under the giant feet of the White Elephant.

This was also the first defeat that the Great Zhou king had suffered during the expedition to Lanzhu.

Under the dark night, Han Mochu put his hands on the sand table and thought about the current situation and this sudden disaster in the army.

The White Elephant Army led by the Second Prince Lanzhu is as powerful as a bamboo, and is staring at the bank of the holy river.

Although the King Master of Great Zhou was looking across the river, if he had been stagnant and consumed a lot of food and grass, the city he had previously occupied would be easily lost.

Moreover, according to the news sent back by the team of small banner officers who returned today, the troops led by King Gu Xiu had captured the capital of Fusu King ten days ago, and now they have led the troops to sweep all the way west. It will take about two months. Within a few days, Lanzhu and Han Mochu's troops could be reached.

Gu Xiu was safe and sound, Han Mochu let go of most of his worries.

Then he thought that if he still failed to cross the river on the day when Gu Xiu joined him, Gu Xiu would have to devote all his energy to defending the city he captured earlier.

What is even more worrying is that if the source of Li Chunhua is still not found out when Gu Xiu meets him, then no one knows whether Gu Xiu will be the next victim.

Thinking of this, Han Mochu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.

This kind of pain was unprecedented, and it was fleeting, as if someone had hit his skull with a heavy hammer, and then disappeared without a trace.

He opened his tiger's mouth, pressed hard twice on the place that caused severe pain, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the burning carbon basin in the camp. The soaring heat took away the humidity in the tent, and also took away the depression in his heart. all kinds of unhappiness.

***

In the next ten days, generals fell ill one after another every day, and without exception, they all fell on the battlefield of the confrontation with the White Elephant Army.

They went crazy when they led troops to charge, hacking and killing everything around them regardless of whether they were friends or foes, and they would still roar like wild animals after being deprived of their weapons.

The frequency of the generals' abnormalities became faster and faster, and Han Mochu had more and more headaches.

In the commander's tent, Han Mochu summoned all the accompanying military doctors in the army at the same time.

Some of the military doctors analyzed that maybe someone in the enemy army used Li Chunhua as a weapon, burned it and threw it at our army. Otherwise, why would it explain that those generals went crazy on the battlefield.

This point was directly vetoed by Pei Yiheng, who was on the expedition for the first time.

Pei Yiheng said: "The forbidden drug Lichunhua, after being burned by fire, anyone will be contaminated with the medicinal properties. If the enemy uses this method, why no one in the enemy army goes crazy, and why only the generals in our army go crazy, so the root cause Still in our army."

Han Mochu's headache became more severe during the heated debate among the crowd, and it transformed from the initial momentary pain to continuous severe pain.

Later, a lingering white mist filled his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be tightly twisted by wire, as if he was suffocated.

Later, Han Mochu's mind also became confused.I can't see the people or things in front of me intermittently, my whole body is hot and cold, and my feet are like stepping on cotton, up and down.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had turned into a four-year-old child, before his eyes were full of those barbarian soldiers with their bloody mouths open, and they flew towards him with their fangs and claws.

In order to protect himself, he pulled out the dagger attached to his armor waist and desperately resisted the barbarians who rushed towards him.

In the end, he cut through his palm with the last remaining rationality in his mind.

Blood gushed out instantly, and the hot blood brought Han Mochu out of the terrifying hallucination.

When his consciousness returned, the first thing Han Mochu saw was that he was surrounded by countless anxious military doctors. Someone was pressing his shoulders, and someone was pressing his wound.

He slowly raised his uninjured right hand, signaling to everyone that he was now awake.

"Military doctor Pei." Han Mochu held his wrist to stop the bleeding, and at the same time ordered: "Go and see the carbon basin in this tent, what's wrong?"

Pei Yiheng took the order and checked the charcoal fire burning in the carbon basin in the big tent together with several other military doctors.

It didn't take long to come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with the charcoal fire burning in the big tent at this time, it is the charcoal fire commonly used for dehumidification.

Han Mochu nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered: "Everyone, go and check the remaining carbon blocks. Be careful, and check every single block clearly."

At the moment when Han Mochu's addiction broke out, he finally thought of the source of the possibility that he and the generals might be infected with Li Chunhua.

That is carbon.

This special moisture-proof carbon basin is only used in Han Mochu's large tent in the entire army to store blueprints.The sand table used in the battlefield is also set up in this big tent, and all the generals above the third rank will come to this big tent to discuss the battle situation every day.

The enemy army pressed the paste extracted from Lichun flower fruit mixed with carbon cinders into carbon blocks and sent them to Wang Shi's barracks.And the dose used is extremely slight, and it is even more difficult to distinguish when it is mixed with non-toxic carbon blocks.

After the charcoal fire burns out, the paste will also be incinerated, leaving no clues at all.

If Lichunhua is taken daily, the recipient will not notice anything, and even feel comfortable and full of energy.

Only when the addiction occurs and the drug is stopped, the drug recipient will be in pain and hallucinations.

Therefore, all the generals' seizures are when they lead the army.

The reason why Han Mochu had an outbreak today was because the charcoal fire sent today happened to not be mixed with the charcoal used for Li Chunhua.

All the leaders of this invincible king's army were caught in this despicable trap without anyone knowing it.

As for the source of these charcoal fires, it must be because the king's teachers were mixed with secret workers, or the people collecting supplies were negligent in preventing these charcoal fires contaminated with forbidden drugs into the barracks.

As the saying goes: A victorious army will inevitably underestimate the enemy, and a proud soldier will surely lose.Even Han Mochu, who has always been relentless, couldn't avoid it, and did a complete blackout under the lights.

Although winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists, he, Taifu Han, has never been defeated so dishonorably since he was born.

The military doctors had their direction, and the examination was no longer blind. They checked one by one according to Han Mochu's instructions, and there must be no omissions.

After working hard for a long time, the military doctors sorted out two liters of carbon blocks containing Ponceau chinensis from the remaining half car of charcoal fire, put them in a box, and brought them to Han Mochu by Pei Hengying.

Han Mochu looked at the carbon block in front of him, seemed to be thinking about something, before he said after a long time: "Doctor Pei, tell me that if this person keeps taking pomelo flowers, he will still be able to maintain a clear mind in a short period of time, and he can act quickly." Is it as usual?"

"Back to Taifu Han, yes." Pei Yiheng replied truthfully.

"Well, from tomorrow onwards, Imperial Physician Pei will give me a dose of Lichunhua every day until the army successfully crosses the river." Han Mochu clenched his injured hand and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, think twice. The longer you take this Lichunhua, the deeper your addiction will become. If you become too addicted before His Majesty arrives..." Pei Yiheng lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "It is very likely... …I can’t get rid of it in this life.”

He knew very well that Taifu Han in front of him was of great importance to his master Su Che, and before leaving, Su Che gave thousands of instructions not to let Taifu Han make any mistakes.

He, the military doctor, cannot escape the blame for allowing banned drugs to be mixed into charcoal in such a grandiose way, resulting in such a tragic result.

Not only did the Grand Tutor not blame him, but he also took all the consequences of this mistake.

"No matter what, the opportunity cannot be missed." Han Mochu's eyes sank, and his tone became more and more certain: "Doctor Pei, you are a student cultivated by Mr. Su, and your master has been practicing medicine since he was a child. Bold and careful. Since he believes in you, I will also believe in you. Trusting you can keep me sane without becoming too addicted."

"Taifu Han, I've never used Lichunhua before, and Mr. Su has never taught me about the medicinal properties of Lichunhua. I really don't know how to weigh it..." Pei Yiheng knelt on his knees, his face full of hesitation.

"Forty days, I only need forty days." Han Mochu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone like still water without waves.

Pei Yiheng raised his eyes slightly, and he saw a clear and resolute side face.

This elegant side face seems to have a kind of magical power, which makes people involuntarily firm up.

"Forty days, the next official will give forty days to Mr. Taifu no matter what."
