Chapter 1683 Good News

Bang bang bang!

The flint came again, shaking the entire Long'an Mansion.

Xu You, wearing heavy armor, stood on the city tower and looked ahead: "Why panic? If the prefect dies, just let the assistant officer of the government office take over."

As long as the city is not broken, even if the city turns into hell, he will not be considered defeated.

After hearing this, the staff did not dare to say anything.

Xu You asked again what he was concerned about: "How many bugs have been raised?"

The staff member was startled, thinking of the bugs being kept in the water tanks, his face turned pale, and he replied: "Eight large tanks have been raised."

"It's not enough, let them raise more. The antidote can't be made, and it's so slow to raise a bug." Xu Younian can assume the position of a general fighting against the enemy. He is not a compassionate person, and in such a war, Next, it is appropriate to use some means.

This method was sent to him by the Rong people, so it wouldn't be a pity.

"Yes, I will urge the doctors again." The staff responded, but before they left, the prefect's son rushed over risking his life. When he saw Xu You, he knelt down and cried: "General Xu, please Please save my dad, he has a strange disease and is about to die."

Xu You looked at the son of the prefect and said honestly: "I really want to save your father, but you know very well that there is no cure for this strange disease."

There is an extreme method, which is to cut open the body and take out the worms.

But the doctor said that people who faint and have convulsions usually have insects entering their brains... If a person's brain is cut open, how can he still survive?

"General Xu, please think of something..." The prefect fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Just as he was crying happily, Xu Fang, who was staying at Xu You's mansion in the city, suddenly came with his troops, carrying a cage with two carrier pigeons in his hand: "General, good news, good news!"

Good news?

Xu You's pupils were slightly enlarged and he looked at Xu Fang.

There shouldn't be any good news at this time, but Xu Fang was his slave, and he later became a master. He was his confidant, and knew his temper well. If he dared to say good news during the war, he must be a good person. a big surprise.

But Xu You didn't expect that this surprise would be so big.

"General, there is a cure for the strange disease!" Xu Fang pointed to the carrier pigeons in the cage and said: "The two carrier pigeons have sent a letter and insect attractant."

The letter and the insect attractant had been taken out, and now they were taken out by Xu Fang and presented to Xu You carefully.

Xu You hurriedly took it and read it. The letter was sent by Deputy General Ma. He briefly talked about Xing'an Prefecture and the poisonous insect disease, and how to use medicine to lure and kill poisonous insects.

Xing'an Mansion actually produced such a capable couple.

One made an insect attractant, and the other killed Lemuqin. Very good. He must win over these two people and use them for his own purposes.

Xu You was overjoyed when he learned that there was a cure for the poisonous insect disease and that reinforcements had arrived, but he asked about the carrier pigeons first.

Xu Fang replied: "The carrier pigeons are from the group that Deputy General Ma took away. There should be nine, but only two were seen. We are sending people to look for the rest in the city."

Xu You: "We must find all the homing pigeons and continue to use them to transport insect attractants."

Carrier pigeons are a bit troublesome. They only recognize places. Now the horse mate has hidden them in the mountains. The carrier pigeons he raised have never been to the place where they are hiding. It is impossible to find them. They have to look for the carrier pigeons that have flown in.

Xu Fang responded: "Yes."

Xu You looked at the magistrate: "We have the medicine. Take them to the government office immediately to save your father."

I don't know if this insect attractant is useful, but I can just get the prefect to test the medicine.

The prefect was stunned for a moment. After being reminded by Xu You's staff, he burst into laughter and stood up quickly: "Thank you so much, General Xu. Come with me, everyone!"

Xu You didn't go, he still wanted to supervise the battle on the tower.

Half an hour later, Xu Fang and the others finished testing the medicine and rode to tell him the result: "General, the insect attractant medicine is effective. The insects in the bodies of the magistrate and Lu Bantou were all lured out."

"Very good." Xu You was very happy, holding the insect attractant, with fire in his eyes, staring at the soldiers who were still attacking the city and torturing them, and sneered.

Oh, after tonight, you are the ones who will be tortured to a point where life is worse than death!

…

In mid-April of the twelfth year of Jingyuan, a strange disease broke out in Long'an Mansion. Insects appeared in the bodies of the people, and countless people died of the disease.

Three days after the sudden onset of the strange disease, Da Rongtian Khan personally led an army of 600,000 to besiege Long'an Prefecture, which was on the verge of collapse.

The anti-rong general Xu You led his generals to resist desperately and defended the city for nearly ten days. When the prefect became critically ill, he received good medicine from the reinforcements to survive.

The next day, General Xu turned from defense to attack. He led his army out of the city, and attacked with reinforcements from outside the city. He killed the right wing of the soldiers. After the two armies reunited, they withdrew into the city.

The soldiers laughed and laughed at Xu Youlang, who was so famous that he ushered the reinforcements into the city and trapped them to death together.

However, that night, the army camp was attacked by a surprise attack, and the camp was filled with poisonous insects.

Two days later, the strange disease in Long'an City was cured, and the army camp was plagued by insects.

The Great Rongtian Khan was angry and ordered all the great witch doctors to treat and kill the poisonous insects, but to no avail for several days, he burned his troops to kill the insects.

When the Rong King burned his troops and the morale of the army was in chaos, General Xu led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack the Rong King's camp. However, the Chu soldiers were weak and were not as good as the soldiers and returned home defeated.

General Xu was furious and resorted to another cunning plan. The army camp was infested with insects again. When the soldiers were in panic, the army came out again and returned with a small victory.

Da Rongtian Khan was furious, and Da Rong reinforced his army and attacked Long'an Prefecture again. General Xu led his generals to defend for several days. Wu Mang, the commander of the Central Plains Command, led his troops to help, and Long'an Prefecture was protected.

In late May of the twelfth year of Jingyuan, the two armies fought for more than a month. The army's food and grass were destroyed, the horses and livestock were poisoned by poisonous insects, and 30% of the army was lost. The morale of the army was shattered.

In Long'an Mansion, medicine and food are almost exhausted, and more than half of the soldiers are dead or injured. There is no firewood in the city to cook cooked food. The soldiers and civilians are eating raw beans and chewing raw medicinal materials.

…

It was late May in the capital city of Da Chu, when the sweltering heat was approaching, and the chirping of cicadas became more and more intense, disturbing people's peace.

Emperor Jingyuan hates noise the most. If he usually would have killed the palace people in anger, today he was overjoyed because good news came from the border town. Xing'an Prefecture was saved, and the soldiers fighting in the south killed the enemy general!

Although the method used was somewhat inappropriate, it boosted the morale of the entire army.

"Who said the soldiers from the south can't fight? Look at our soldiers from the south who cut off the heads of the generals from the royal family!" Emperor Jingyuan said to several pavilion elders in the Mingwei Hall. If it hadn't been for the good news, Unfortunately, he wanted to summon all the ministers into the palace and have another morning court meeting.

Dai Shangshu was also very happy. In the past few months, Dachu had lost three cities in a row, and many people in the south had died on the road. The emperor was so angry that he would be caught and scolded every day when he went to court.

He couldn't stand the scolding and deliberately made himself sick in order to avoid the morning court. As a result, the emperor directly sent someone to carry him into the palace and continued to scold him.

Dai Shangshu almost died from being scolded. When the good news arrived at the Ministry of War today, he was so happy that he fainted. After being revived by the imperial doctor, he immediately came to see the emperor with the good news.

The emperor was indeed very happy.

Several pavilion elders were not as happy as Emperor Jingyuan, because along with the good news came the news that thieves were using poisonous insects to harm Xing'an Prefecture, and that poisonous insects would spread in Dachu.

"Your Majesty, the poisonous insects this time are fierce. If they spread in Dachu, I am afraid that all humans and animals will die."

Emperor Jingyuan was just happy. When he heard this, he darkened his face and said angrily: "The good news said that the insect attractant has been made, and the prescription has been entrusted to Duke Yuan and his wife to present to me. What are you worried about?"

Are you deliberately ruining my celebration? !
