The strategy formulated by Shen Qingzhuo is not complicated at all, 36 strategies to adjust the tiger away from the mountain.

The rebel army used Tianmen Mountain as their stronghold, taking advantage of the natural terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and played tricks on the garrison and imperial reinforcements, so they must try to break this advantage.

He analyzed in a steady tone: "I have investigated the two leaders of the rebel army. The first leader is called Wang Shu. He was born as a bandit, and he can be regarded as inheriting his father's business. The second leader is called Guan Xuwen. His father was a young man under the jurisdiction of Suzhou in his early years. The magistrate of the county was persecuted to death because he refused to join forces with the corrupt officials in Suzhou. After that, Guan Xuwen wandered around and defected to Wang Shu, the bandit leader of Qinglong Mountain, and became the military adviser of the rebel army."

Li Xinwu then said: "During the battle between the lower officials and the rebels, I clearly felt that the enemy's military tactics were unusual, bandits and reckless, could it be—"

"You guessed right, the expert behind the anti-army is the military commander." Shen Qingzhuo walked to the hanging map, "But this time, we will enrage Wang Shu and let him chase us regardless, and then take the opportunity to fight us." Counterfeited their lair."

Li Xinwu replied in a deep voice: "Our army has also tried to attack by force, but there are many traps on the way up Tianmen Mountain, and the Tianhe River is a natural barrier. Even if we divert the tiger away from the mountain, we may not be able to go up the mountain smoothly."

"It's just a river, even if you step on the corpses of soldiers, you can cross it." Xiao Shen said coldly, "Find the weakest breach of the anti-army's defense, and send people who are good at water to swim to the other side with thick ropes, and build a bridge overnight to cross the river."

Xiao Shen is a general who is used to fighting on the battlefield, he kept his word, the army immediately divided into two groups and set up an ambush.

Li Xinwu led [-] soldiers and horses, sitting in front of the battle and insulting the eighteen generations of Wang Shu's ancestors. The words were unbearable, and even the three generations of the rebels also greeted them.That Wang Shu was impatient, and he had occupied the mountain for a long time. He was really furious, and he led a large army to fight without heeding advice.

Li Zongbing pretended to be invincible and retreated to the south again and again. Wang Shu took advantage of the victory to pursue, but he didn't know that another group of elite infantry had sneaked up the mountain and pointed at the rebels' lair.

This was a war without any suspense. There were not many rebels left in the Tianmen Mountain village. Facing the raid elite soldiers commanded by Xiao Shen, they were almost killed without any resistance.

Since the Suixi War, Xiao Shen hadn't picked up a knife to kill the enemy for a long time, and was envious of wanton killings, when an elegant and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"The anti-army is also made up of common people. Remember not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Capture Military Division Guan and ask Mr. to negotiate with him."

The blood-stained scarlet in the young emperor's eyes gradually faded, he raised his ticking long knife, and shouted coldly: "Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will be saved from death!"

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Qingzhuo sat at the desk, smiling slightly: "Mr. Guan, seeing a hundred things is worth seeing."

The young man in white had a calm expression on his face. Even though he was deeply surrounded by the enemy army, he still couldn't hide his arrogance.

"You are their leader?" Guan Xuwen looked at him calmly

Shen Qingzhuo smiled and said, "I can count on what I say."

Guan Xuwen said calmly, "Wang Shu took away the large army, even if you copied here, they still have other places to go."

"I understand, that's why I came to negotiate with the military adviser." Shen Qingzhuo's smile remained unchanged, "Not to mention the old and weak women and children in this village, most of the people who follow you are ordinary people with families and relatives, don't the military adviser think about them Is it?"

Guan Xuwen smiled coldly, "In this world, even if you don't become a traitor, you will starve to death in the end."

"It seems that Tianmen Mountain, the news is a bit blocked." Shen Qingzhuo replied lightly, "The military division can send people down the mountain to inquire at will. The governor of Suzhou has already subdued the law. The imperial court sent a large amount of grain to open warehouses for disaster relief. The disaster situation has gradually been brought under control."

Guan Xuwen's pupils shrank slightly, and his tone was a little surprised: "Luo Cheng has been subdued?"

Shen Qingzhuo nodded slightly, "Not only Luo Cheng, but all officials involved in corruption and perverting the law in Suzhou have been arrested."

"All?" Guan Xuwen sneered, "Then the Suzhou government is now an empty shell?"

"You're right." Shen Qingzhuo stood up to show respect, "Corrupt officials in Suzhou colluded with each other, and the incorruptible were persecuted to death. Although the court came late, the corrupt officials were finally brought to justice."

Guan Xuwen's tone became more and more sarcasm: "The world is as black as crows. Could it be that the new official will be some clean and honest parent official?"

Shen Qingzhuo sighed: "Of course there are. There are corrupt officials in this world, and there are also honest officials like your father."

Guan Xuwen's body swayed slightly, and he raised his hand to support the table, speechless for a while.

"Officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel." Shen Qingzhuo continued, "But now that the imperial court has thoroughly investigated the corrupt officials, the victims can still eat their stomachs. At this time, if the rebels continue to fight with the officers and soldiers, the people will suffer. It’s not about power, it’s just about making people live a better life, right?”

After a long silence, Guan Xuwen raised his eyes, "Empty words are empty."

Shen Qingzhuo knew that this was shaken, so he directly revealed his identity: "I am the imperial tutor, and I was ordered by the Holy One to thoroughly investigate the corruption case in Suzhou. Today, I solemnly promise you that as long as the rebels accept the imperial court's recruitment, the imperial court will not Even if you hurt one soldier and one horse, I will arrange the best home for you."

At this time, Xiao Shen outside the door was already extremely impatient, his anxious expression was like a wild animal whose cubs were snatched away, stubbornly resisting the urge to break in through the door.

With a "squeak", the door opened from the inside, and Shen Qingzhuo stepped out, feeling dizzy for a moment, and almost lost his footing.

"Sir!" Xiao Shen rushed forward and caught him firmly, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Shen Qingzhuo calmed down and stood up straight, "According to the plan."

***

The development of the matter was under Master Shen's control. After he persuaded Guan Xuwen, he immediately led his army to pursue it.

Li Zongbing returned to the original road at the same time, forming a double-team situation, sandwiching the rebel army in the middle.Immediately afterwards, he dispatched Guan Junshi to discuss with Wang Shu in the air.

When the soldiers heard the news that the corrupt officials had fallen from their horses and the court had released food, they immediately became excited and spread the news, and the entire rebel army knew the great news.

Who is willing to risk their lives to become a traitor when they can eat enough and survive?

Seeing that the general situation was over, Wang Shu accepted the court's offer of security under the persuasion of Guan Junshi.

So far, the Suzhou rebellion that has plagued the court for a long time has finally settled.

"Your Majesty, you can go back to the palace." Shen Qingzhuo made a "please" gesture, "The rebellion is over, and the new Zhizhou is about to take office. There is nothing to worry about in Suzhou."

Xiao Shen took his hand, "Sir, come back to the palace with me."

"Sir, it's not enough." Shen Qingzhuo shook his head, "Ten days at most, after ten days, Mr. will return to the palace and return to order."

"Then I won't leave either." Xiao Shen played tricks with ease, "Whatever Mister wants to do, I will accompany Mister."

Shen Qingzhuo's eyebrows and eyes darkened slightly, "Don't listen to Mr. again?"

Xiao Shen could only silently let go of his fingers, turned his head away and remained silent.

But Shen Qingzhuo felt a little regretful in his heart when he finished beating the little apprentice. He couldn't help but step forward, hooked his little finger, and coaxed in a low voice: "You go back to the palace first, and after the Qi family is cleaned up, the master will go back."

Xiao Shen still turned his face away and didn't speak, but the hooked little finger was very honest, and turned around and entangled the husband's finger.

Shen Qingzhuo's heart softened, and he continued to coax: "Sir will play chess with you tonight, and I will personally send you to the horse tomorrow."

"Is it just playing chess?" The coaxing little apprentice turned his face back, his eyes burning, "Can't you do other things?"

"What else..." Shen Qingzhuo was startled for a moment, but then he realized that Yubai's cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help cursing softly, "Thinking about something indecent all day long."

After all, he withdrew his finger and was about to walk out.

"What's not serious?" Xiao Shen got excited, and asked after chasing after Mr., "How does Mr. know that I'm thinking something not serious? Could it be that Mr. is also—"

"Master Shen is not well! The epidemic has broken out!" A panicked voice interrupted his words.

Shen Qingzhuo paused, "What did you say?"

In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, he had already isolated and treated the people infected with the plague, and at the same time burned the plague pills throughout the city for disinfection, in order to minimize the scope of infection after the disaster.

Xue Shihang said out of breath: "Some patients refused to listen to dissuasion and ran back home from the isolation area secretly, not only infecting the whole family, but also infecting the neighbors in the neighborhood!"

Shen Qingzhuo's eyes went dark, but fortunately a pair of strong hands behind him supported him in time.

The reason why the plague is terrible is that it is extremely contagious, especially in hot weather, and the temperature is more and more suitable for the growth and spread of the virus.Once the epidemic prevention is opened at this time, the plague will spread at an unstoppable speed.

"A bunch of stupid pigs!" Xiao Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Have you caught them yet?"

"Catch it, catch it!" Xue Shihang nodded again and again, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Shen Qingzhuo stabilized his figure, and calmly ordered: "Isolate, isolate all the people that that person may have come into contact with as quickly as possible, and anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

***

Houses in hundreds of districts have isolated infected people to prevent cross-infection.Doctors sent by the imperial court worked day and night to collect and analyze the source of the epidemic, trying to prescribe the right medicine.

Shen Qingzhuo covered his mouth and nose with a silk cloth and went to the isolation area to investigate the epidemic situation.

The doctor came out of the room, not daring to get too close to the master, and only replied from a distance: "Lord Shen, this kind of disease has been recorded, and its symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of red bump plague."

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhuo's heart sank, "Is there a way to completely cure it?"

"Master Shen acted decisively and isolated in time. Some patients with very mild symptoms at the initial stage of infection still have a chance." The doctor replied, "If the infection is moderately severe, the only option is..."

"I understand." Shen Qingzhuo let out a sigh of relief, "There is a shortage of medicine and manpower, and I will find a way to make up for it. You guys, do your best."

The doctor cupped his hands and bowed: "Yes, my lord!"

Shen Qingzhuo explained some precautions for epidemic prevention and treatment. Just as he was about to turn around, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out of the isolation room, spitting blood while running staggeringly, "I don't want to die...I don't want to die!"

The doctor was shocked: "Come here, take the patient back quickly!"

Shen Qingzhuo retreated subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, the man rushed straight at him, "Why did you lock me up? Help me...I want to live!"

Shen Qingzhuo ran away, but the lunatic rushed over and grabbed the hem of his robe. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived at this time and quickly dragged the sick man back.

Not daring to wait any longer, Shen Qingzhuo immediately returned to the mansion.

Xiang Chen hurriedly came forward: "Master! Where have you been?"

In the past few days, he was busy running around, and he didn't notice for a while, so he let the master act alone.

"I'm fine, I went to the isolation area cough cough..." Shen Qingzhuo stood outside the door, took off the silk robes covering his mouth and nose, took off his robe and threw it on the ground, ordered the guards to send it to be burned, and then stepped into the room. threshold.

Xiang Chen showed a worried look, "Master, don't go to the isolation area, let me pass the message later."

"There is still not enough medicine and manpower, let Xue Shihang think of a way to dispatch a batch to cough..." Shen Qingzhuo frowned, "Besides, some victims fled to Chenzhou before, and it is very likely that they will also be infected with the disease, so we have to call Chenzhou Be prepared, and the epidemic must not be allowed to expand further."

"Understood." Xiang Chen looked at him, "Master, you need to rest."

"When the new magistrate arrives, I can take a rest." Shen Qingzhuo sat down at the desk wearily, and began to write the documents to be sent to Chenzhou.

But during dinner, his cough intensified, and he even felt dizzy. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, and the heat was abnormally high.

Shen Qingzhuo's heart skipped a beat, and a bad idea popped up in his mind.

This pair of physical foundation is too poor, and the immunity against disease is weaker than that of ordinary people. Could it be that he was in the quarantine area just now...

"Eat, uncle!" Baobao stood on the stool, stretching his arms and trying to pick up food for Uncle Shen.

Shen Qingzhuo forced a smile, then put down his chopsticks, "Eat first, I'll go back and rest for a while."

Xue Shihang persuaded: "My lord, you haven't eaten a bite yet, eat two bites before going to sleep!"

"No, I'll talk about it when I wake up." Shen Qingzhuo didn't dare to move his chopsticks, but as soon as he got up, the world spun before his eyes, and he fell directly to the ground.

Noisy exclamations and screams came from my ears. Fortunately, after a brief coma, Shen Qingzhuo woke up by himself.

"Master!" Xiang Chen blushed with anxiety, and was swept away like a gust of wind, "I'll call the doctor!"

Guan Xuwen was the first to react, and he comforted softly: "Maybe it's because I've been working hard for several days, and I accidentally caught the wind and cold, but it's not necessarily..."

"I'm coughing..." Shen Qingzhuo waved his hands, and put down the curtains hanging on both sides with difficulty, "You all go out, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

Baobao was young and didn't understand what happened. He only knew that Uncle Shen looked uncomfortable and was so anxious that he almost cried. Guan Xuwen quickly picked her up, turned and walked out.

Xue Shihang stood in front of the bed with a particularly solemn expression: "What happened?"

"After noon, I went to the isolation area." Shen Qingzhuo closed his eyes, his breathing became more and more chaotic, "A patient... rushed towards me..."

Xue Shihang was stunned, and then furiously cursed: "These white-eyed wolves who will avenge their kindness! If you die, you will drag others!"

"Don't tell anyone about this, so as not to cause riots." Lying on the bed, Shen Qingzhuo felt as if a fire was burning all over his body, "You should go out too, and wait until the doctor comes..."

The only thing in his heart right now is that he personally sent the little apprentice to the horse back to Beijing in the morning.At this moment, the little apprentice is far away from the disease, and far away from him...

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingzhuo seemed to hear a rush of footsteps in a daze, and then the bed curtain was pulled open with a "swipe".

"I didn't mean..." With all his strength, he half-opened his eyes, and when his eyes touched the person coming, he suddenly woke up.

"Go..." Without knowing where the strength came from, he forced his limp upper body up and shouted in a low voice, "Go back to the palace!"

"I knew it, I knew it..." Xiao Shen galloped all the way back, his clothes were soaked in sweat, and he shouted with red eyes, "Sir! Where do you want me to go?"

"Cold, calm down, Xiaoqi..." Shen Qingzhuo frowned, trying to trick him away, "Sir, he just has a fever...you go out first..."

Before the words finished, the person standing at the head of the bed suddenly leaned over, held his waist with one hand, pinched his wet chin with the other hand, and kissed him involuntarily.

At this moment, it was as if the sky collapsed.

Shen Qingzhuo struggled violently, but his body, which continued to heat up, was weak and weak, and he was no match for the little apprentice at all.

In desperation, the hot teardrops from the corners of the red eyes slipped all the way to the pillow, and Xiao Shen also forcibly fed his tongue into his mouth smoothly.

"In this way, Mister doesn't have to drive me away." After a while, Xiao Shen withdrew his lips and tongue, smiling wildly and soberly, "Life is the same quilt, death is the same acupuncture point. If Mister is not here, I will never live alone."

Dayong will continue to operate without a monarch, and the sun will rise as usual without Xiao Shen.

But Xiao Shen would not be able to survive without Shen Qingzhuo.
