Chapter 1598: Crazy
Things in the world have their own causes and fruits. Every drink and peck will lead to heaven. After the initiator Sun Chenglong failed to design and wipe out the Qingxiang River and flooded the northern part of Xiangzhou, causing the entire northern part of Xiangzhou to become a country, and more than 100,000 innocent people to die in vain. He originally thought that on the one hand, he used this to delay the pace of the Ming army's advance, and on the other hand, he forced the Ming army to be unable to bypass the Xiangshan Fortress and could only attack and fight. In this way, with the Xiangshan Fortress group he had worked hard to manage and the supporting defense around it, the Ming army would be greatly damaged. Even if he was not an opponent of the Ming army, he could greatly damage the strength of the Ming army.
The progress of the Ming army was indeed as he wished and was slowed down, but what he unexpectedly expected was that a flood, coupled with the wilderness of countless people, brought about the storm sweeping across Xiangzhou like a strong wind. During this plague outbreak, the Ming army suffered no losses, but the Chu army suffered heavy losses.
The defenders arranged on the Ming army's forward line were already defeated by the plague before the Ming army arrived. The panic brought by the plague and the tragic situation of the dead made the defenders along the line frightened and abandoned the city and fled. The Ming army advanced all the way without any effort and took these places into their pockets.
At the end of April, when the Xiangshan Fortress was trapped by the plague, the defenders surrendered, and the news that his son Sun Runze committed suicide in the fortress reached Xiangzhou County City, Sun Chenglong turned white overnight.
The entire Xiangzhou was shrouded in the shadow of the plague, and the county city was no exception. However, after receiving the news, the county city immediately blocked the city and did not allow anyone to step into the county city. Those who fled from other places gathered under the county city of Xiangzhou. After begging for several days, they finally left in despair.
In a man-made flood, Sun Chenglong lost not only the entire Xiangcheng defense system, but also the hearts of Chu in Xiangzhou. As a prefecture and county close to Shangjing, the rule of the Chu court here was deeply rooted, and the royal family had a great influence on Xiangzhou. When Sun Chenglong was operating the Xiangzhou defense system, the people of Xiangzhou were also united. But now, all this no longer exists. It was like that sudden flood that washed away not only human lives, but also human hearts.
On the contrary, the Ming army established shelter camps along the way, treated patients, buried corpses, cured floods, restored public order, and rebuilt order. They didn't say much, but just did these things silently along the way, and easily attracted people's hearts and gathered together.
When the people of Xiangzhou were most panicked and had no support, the timely intervention of the Ming army was really twice the result with half the effort. At this time, the people of Xiangzhou, who were frightened, naturally gathered under the forces that could give them safety.
For the Ming people, there was no better result than this. The closer it was to the area of Shangjing City, the deeper the dominance and influence of the Chu court. In Xingzhou, the Ming army had already deeply understood this point. The people's hearts that could not be obtained in a short period of time with the great victory in the war were now easily held in their hands.
From this point of view, Ming Jun really wants to thank Sun Chenglong.
Sun Chenglong, who had white hair all night, completely blocked the Xiangzhou county city. Not only was he allowed to enter or leave, because at this time, the shadow of the plague had already enveloped the county city. Although there was a more complete medical system in the county city, for this big county city, both doctors and herbs were obviously a huge gap. No matter how they prevented it, the plague still invaded the county city silently.
It was beginning to die. The mansion in the west of the city, after the end of the month, the rolling smoke never stopped, so that the scent of burnt meat could be smelled in the whole city.
The crazy Sun Chenglong sent an army. The family found a plague infected person. The whole family immediately killed everything without discrimination, and then transported it to the Huanyuan and burned it clean.
The entire Xiangzhou City is not only threatened by plague, but also by Sun Chenglong, who is almost unreasonable. The consequence of this inhumane policy is that Xiangzhou City is like a huge powder keg, which may break out at any time. Whether it is a commoner or a wealthy family, they are facing the same problem at this time. Because the plague does not depend on people, and now General Sun does not depend on people when killing people.
At this time, even if they can't escape, because General Sun was unwilling to let anyone in the city escape. In his opinion, everyone in Xiangzhou City was in danger of being infected with the plague, and the direction of these people's escape would only be to go to the capital. Once the plague was brought into the capital, it would be a disaster.
He closed the county city and also wrote to Wei Zelong, the general responsible for defense in Shangjing City, allowing him to establish a blockade line at the junction of Shangjing City and Xiangzhou, and all those who fled from Xiangzhou to Shangjing City would be killed.
Xiangzhou was already shaking, and Yang Chuang, the appeaser of Xiangzhou, was still in panic all day long. Since Ma Xuechun, the governor of Xiangzhou County, died at the scene of digging rivers and water release, the affairs of Xiangzhou County were basically all in the hands of the appeaser. After dealing with the complicated affairs for a day, when Yang Chuang returned to his residence tiredly, he saw a familiar figure. The old man who followed him back from Jinzhou was also standing on the man's head with a look of fear, and talking with him carefully.
This person is naturally from the Ming army, who is specifically responsible for the Eagle Nest spy detective who contacted Yang Chuang.
"How did you come in?" Yang Chuang looked at the uninvited guest in horror.
"The county town of Xiangzhou is very large. No matter how tight the fence of General Sun's Great Fence is, there are places that cannot be blocked. I will come whenever I want to come, and whenever I want to go." The visitor smiled and said, "Mr. Yang has always been good?"
"I'm very bad." Yang Chuang said dejectedly. He is now getting deeper and deeper in the Ming people's net, and he is already unable to extricate himself. Now, of course, he already knows what Huo Guang did after leaving him. It can be said that this flood and a plague are inseparable from him. If Sun Chenglong's plan succeeded, then all this would naturally not happen. Yang Chuang knew very well that if this incident spread, Sun Chenglong would not mind tearing him apart and eating it raw piece by piece. Now the general is almost crazy.
"Your family is living a good life now, especially your two sons, who are so strong." The visitor smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Chuang, "This is the letter from Mrs. Zun."
Yang Chuang took the letter, looked at it with all his eyes, immediately sent it to the candlelight and lit it. He looked at the other party with a dejected look and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do? Now Sun Chenglong is a lunatic. He can no longer think of it with common sense. No one dares to say more in front of him, because if it doesn't suit his wishes, he will draw his sword and kill people."
The visitor sneered: "Why can Sun Chenglong do this?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Yang Chuang said dissatisfiedly: "He is a general and has military power. There are tens of thousands of troops in the city, especially the Fire Phoenix Army, and he is the only one who follows the order."
"Since that's the case, then let's start from the army." The visitor said unconsciously.
"Don't make this idea, the Fire Phoenix Army will not be instigated." Yang Chuang shook his head and said.
"The Fire Phoenix Army cannot be instigated. Are there tens of thousands of other troops?" The visitor smiled and said, "I heard that Sun Chenglong was in the city and killed the disease by one person. What if someone in the army was infected with the epidemic?"
Yang Chuang looked up in shock. In Xiangzhou County, because he knew that the intelligence prevention and control was quite effective, especially the army, which was the focus of preventing epidemics, so there has been no epidemic in the army so far.
"If there is an epidemic in the army, will Sun Chenglong kill all the troops with one sermon?"
"He might do something." Yang Chuang said with difficulty.
"Then there will be a good show!" The visitor said with a smile: "You are the comforting envoy. If Sun Chenglong really does such a thing, then you will have the opportunity to win over other troops."
Yang Chuang stared at the other party in a daze. In his eyes, the smiling face was the incarnation of the devil.
The visitor took out a small glass bottle from his arms, containing half a bottle of liquid, and gently placed it in front of Yang Chuang: "This is the thing that caused this epidemic."
Yang Chuang stood up, looked at the other party like a ghost, and hissed: "Did you cause this epidemic?"
The visitor laughed and said, "We don't have such great ability. This thing was created when the miracle doctors from our Ming Medical College started research to treat this epidemic after the outbreak of the epidemic. Don't worry, this thing was mixed with materials by our doctor Shu Da. After people infected him, it looks exactly the same as the current epidemic, but it will not be infected on a large scale."
"What do you want me to do?" Yang Chuang hissed.
"Find an opportunity to get a team of soldiers involved in this thing and see how Sun Chenglong deals with it. If he really kills these people, your chance will come, right?" The visitor smiled. "Welcome these generals who are not the Huofeng Army and fight against Sun Chenglong, and finally force Sun Chenglong to lead the Huofeng Army to attack instead of defending in Xiangzhou County."
Yang Chuang fell on the chair and after a while hesitated, "What can I get if I do this?"
The visitor laughed: "That's right, this is the county magistrate Yang I know. Our commander said that after doing this, you can take some of the people back to Shangjing City, and we will send you a few doctors, and these doctors are all good at treating this kind of plague. If you say you take them back to Shangjing City, will it be another great achievement?"
"Will you be more convenient for you to attack him by letting you get infected with this kind of epidemic in Beijing?"
