Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

In the Lingxu barracks...

Seeing that it was Nanhui's Guangyang Pass in front of him, as long as he broke through there, he could take Nanhui in one fell swoop.Moreover, the number of our side is several times that of the enemy's, and even without any tactics, we can conquer Guangyang Pass and attack Huanglong directly.

But... when it was right in front of our eyes, the army had such a big problem.

Marshal Song Qiyuan sat at the main seat in the big tent, and below stood the generals and three staff officers.

Song Qiyuan sat upright, looking at the three staff officers with cold eyes.

Perhaps the army has always had the habit of soldiers looking down on scholars, and scholars looking down on soldiers.Probably one party thinks the other is hypocritical, and the other thinks the other is vulgar.

There are very few people who can achieve Bai Xiaoxian's military might.

Besides, these three people were not originally part of their army, they were only temporarily deployed for this attack on Nanhui.Not to mention military power.

And the three of them were members of the Tianji Clan, the reason why they were sent here... Probably, it was because Gong Jiuqing's master didn't believe in their personal abilities.

If they didn't believe in their abilities, why did they let three people fight with such a high chance of winning?This is also a question that Gong Jiuqing considers.

Staff officers and military advisers generally do not have battle robes, and most of them are scholar books or brocade clothes.Anyway, they would not be armored like soldiers or generals. If so, it would be a big burden for them with weak physical strength.

Song Qiyuan looked at the people below, and said coldly: "Can the cause be found?"

The people below look at me and I look at you, shaking their heads.

Song Qiyuan jumped up against the case, and said angrily: "The big battle is imminent, and this disease just happened to appear suddenly, can't you think of the reason?"

Qi Shu's masterpiece was an off-white silk and satin, it didn't feel like he was on the battlefield at all, but he looked like a rich man who just went out to visit a brothel.It makes people feel frivolous and dissolute.

Among the three, this was also the person Song Qiyuan disliked the most.

Qi Shujie clasped his fists and said, "Marshal, things like the plague will definitely not get sick for no reason, and it's a coincidence that it didn't get sick until after Guangyang Pass. It must be the trick of people from Nanhui."

Song Qiyuan sneered and didn't answer, but motioned him to continue talking.

"Yesterday they didn't come to raid the grain and grass, but came to check the condition."

Song Qiyuan said: "Then Staff Qi, tell me how they infected our army with the plague."

Qi Shujie didn't answer, but tugged Xue Yuhai beside him.He doesn't know medical skills, how does he know how those people got the plague.

Relatively speaking, Xue Yuhai looked more serious than Qi Shujie.More like an honest reader. "Marshal, the military doctor has already seen it, indicating that the plague should come from the food. Maybe it's not a plague, but food poisoning. The disease has not spread widely, and the subordinates have sent people to isolate the infected soldiers, and started Investigate what the soldiers ate recently, and I believe the reason will be found out soon."

Song Qiyuan nodded, indicating that he was quite acceptable to this answer.

The other Hua Yiran has a sullen expression, drooping corners of his eyes, and a pair of typical triangular eyes, which always gives people the feeling that he is thinking of some bad idea.

"Marshal, no matter what this disease is, Guangyang Pass is right in front of us now. Even if they are the leader of Gu Moming, who is known as the undefeated general, they are not our opponents. What they want to do most is to delay my The time of the army. The longer this world drags on, the more variables there will be."

"What is Staff Officer Hua trying to say?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, my subordinates suggest that all the sick soldiers be sent as the vanguard to attack Guangyang Pass."

Song Qiyuan said coldly: "You want them to die."

Hua Yiran shook his head and said: "No, just let them play the final value, maybe it's worth it."

As soon as the words were finished, some generals stood up and objected: "I object. I would like to report to the Marshal, if that is the case, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"

The rest also nodded in agreement.There is always a special emotion for those who survived the fighting on the battlefield.

They escaped death on the battlefield and were used to life and death.But it is the one who is used to seeing life and death that is the most opposed to this kind of behavior of sending death.

And they are three sour scholars who can only talk on paper.

But Hua Yiran didn't understand these emotions, and Xue Yuhai and Qi Shujie just felt that they were a little cruel.

Hua Yiran smiled and said: "They are all on the battlefield, and they will die sooner or later. Are you still afraid of death?"

Another general said: "Counselor Hua said it very lightly. The most important thing on the battlefield is the morale of the army. If the hearts of the soldiers are chilled, the morale of the army will be chaotic. At that time, there will be a mess, how can we work together?"

The rest of the people nodded.

Hua Yiran's expression was slightly distorted, and he said: "Then General Li told me that now that they are sick and their condition is unknown, should they stay in the barracks all the time so that they can infect other healthy soldiers?"

General Li was a little dumb, and the person next to him said: "Marshal Qi, Nan Hui is already at the end of his strength, and it won't be a big problem even if it drags on for a few days. But if we really follow the advice of Staff Hua... Be the first to object."

"Yes, my subordinates also object."

"The subordinates also objected. We must not let our soldiers go to die."

"The subordinates object."

Xue Yuhai said: "Marshal, my subordinates feel that the morale of the army is important, but it is not safe to be in the army with an unknown disease. The morale of the army is unstable, and it can be stabilized slowly, but if the disease is allowed to spread, then maybe the entire army They will all be destroyed. There is no reason for the disease yet, and General Wang is right, Nanhui is not a problem now. Then why not make a compromise, first isolate the sick soldiers, and find out the cause, while the army continues to move forward , we can do both."

Everyone nodded one after another, and suddenly realized that it was actually a very easy problem to solve.

Song Qiyuan nodded and said, "Can the sick soldiers be counted?"

Xue Yuhai was a little ashamed, shook his head, and said: "Our army has a large number, and the disease may be contagious, so we have to be careful. This will delay the time of investigation. It is estimated... It will take about three days."

Song Qiyuan waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The order will be sent down, the investigation will be carried out overnight, the illness will not be reported, and there will be no mercy. The commander will only give you one day. Tomorrow, the army will leave, and the sick will stay where they are. "

"Yes."

"Yes."

……

Outside the big tent of the Lingxu barracks, two soldiers lowered their heads slightly, unable to see their appearance clearly.The two looked at each other furtively, then walked towards the remote place tacitly holding the spear in their hands.

The two walked towards the woods, with their backs to the barracks behind them.Looking at the back is like peeing.

But in fact, both of them are just pretending.

Xin Mufei whispered: "What should I do? Come on?"

Chen Zhongwei on the side said: "Not now, but at night when no one notices."

"Of course it's at night. If someone finds out now, just wait for someone to be trampled into meat paste."

"Is there really no need to report to Mr.?"

"What kind of report do you need? Didn't you say it when you came here, no matter what method the other party uses, they will create chaos."

Chen Zhongwei nodded...
