Chapter 12 Heartbroken Grass

Although I don't have any good feelings for this guy with pustules all over his body, he promised to lead two knights in the Temple and the Hospital to help with the war." Frederick's tone was calm, because he wanted to hear his subordinates' opinions, so he naturally could not express too many other tendencies.

Indeed, these two long-standing knights seem to have nothing left except for their long history. There are less than five thousand troops (although they are called knights, they cannot be all knights, both mainly infantry, otherwise, five thousand cavalry would also be quite considerable.), Frederick would not be too fond of it. To be honest, if he wanted to expand the size of his army, the ascetics and religious fanatics along the way would have tens of thousands of people, allowing Frederick to expand the size of his army to more than one hundred thousand, without any problem.

Oh, God, I would rather die outside the holy city than fight with those who have been cursed by God." The nobleman who was asked by Bai Zhou just now looked strong and determined, as if he wanted to fight with Du Boan IV, which was very aggrieved.

I will follow your wishes, Count, your troops will be sent to the front line by me."

I knew it was Frederick's joke or an angry word, but the count immediately retreated and was no longer as passionate as before.

Father, I would like to ask, how powerful are these two knights?" Wolfgang asked.

Trell thought for a while before answering: "If it were just the beginning of its establishment, the combat effectiveness of these two knights was no less than that of our Teutonic and Gothic knights, but now they have been defeated one after another. The letter said that it could still dispatch about 4,500 troops, but I don't have much high expectations for the combat effectiveness of these people. Moreover, as far as I know, the leader of these two knights is good at politics and power-making, but when it comes to war..." Frederick curled his lips, and the meaning he wanted to express was obvious.

He is the courage of a soldier. If the leader of a knight order is a fool, then don’t expect the knights under him to have a high combat effectiveness.

However, to be fair, even though Raymond and Guy were not among the top famous players, they were still qualified as qualified leaders. However, they met the Mahatma who had not been out of one for a thousand years. In front of Saladin, they inevitably became supporting roles and supporting roles.

Then I suggest rejecting them, after all, we don’t know them, and we fight with a strange Allied force, and I’m worried that they will drag us down.”

At this point, Wolfgang looked at Bai Zhou intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning was clearly that even if he wanted the Allied forces, he had to be like the Western Qin army, with a general wise and soldiers serving him. Otherwise, bringing a group of idiots to fight would only be a drag.

At first, the reason why Frederick did not bring the religious ascetics and fanatics who requested to join was also for the same purpose.

Trell showed a thoughtful look, feeling that Wolfgang was right. Besides, although the count just now was scolded by him, he also recognized his statement - Frederick was also unwilling to fight side by side with a guy who was punished by God.

Even Frederick was enough to count the heroes of the previous generation, but he was not immune to the world. There is no way. In this era when science is still unknown, the reason for leprosy was attributed to God and his elders was a saying that everyone agreed. What's more, this disease is also an infectious disease, so Frederick was inevitably discriminatory.

Before the Black Death came, leprosy could be regarded as a more terrible terminal illness.

After a thought flashed through Bai Zhou's mind.

At this moment, Bai Zhou felt someone pulling him from behind.

Duke of Switzerland, what advice do you have?"

Trell now valued Bozhou more and more. Perhaps because of his bravery in the Western Qin army in Constantinople, or something else, Frederick decided to ask Bozhou now.

Oh," Bai Zhou mocked the god: "I think I should agree."

There was a sigh.

Zhou was thinking about things just now, but did not pay attention to what others said. If he had heard clearly that other nobles, including Wolfgang, were all opposed, then for the sake of hiding their weakness, Bai Zhou would not say the word "agree".

Is that right?" Frederick looked at Bai Zhou with some confusion and continued to ask, "Why?"

Zhou looked at the reaction of the audience and roughly understood that he had just "outstanding the crowd" again, but since things had come to this point, Bai Zhou had to explain it clearly.

First, we are not familiar with Jerusalem and need some guides. I think there is no guide that will be more professional than a long-term army stationed there; second, even if we recovered the Holy City, which is the capital of the Principality of Jerusalem, we actually have no reason to refuse others to regain our own land.”

However, I am really worried about the combat effectiveness of those two knights." Wolfgang said.

When we were conquering Switzerland in the Western Qin Dynasty that day, in addition to the soldiers of our clan, there were thousands of so-called miscellaneous armed forces. "No need to say it too thoroughly, everyone present was not stupid.

Whether an army is strong or weak, whether it can play its greatest role is the most critical. This requires the wisdom of the commander.

It is impossible to let an ordinary mercenary charge into battle, nor can the most elite troops shaking flags and shouting in the rear. In the past, the Marquis of Huaiyin led a group of peddlers and barons to fight back and for generals, they cannot simply attribute the reasons for the failure to the soldiers.

After Bai Zhou's words, most of the nobles present showed some gloating expressions. Before Bai Zhou understood what it meant, he heard Frederick say, "Duke of Switzerland, what you said makes sense. Let me do this. I'll send you to Rhodes Island and contact them."

Love these nobles are enjoying this.

OK, I don’t know when to leave?" No matter what other nobles think, Bai Zhou still admires this famous Leprosy King, and naturally he will not let this opportunity go.

A person with a nearly perfect personality seemed to be comparable to him throughout the Middle Ages except Saladin and Spain's Cide.

The messenger is outside, you can discuss it with him, but it is best to return as soon as possible, maybe our main force will not stay in Silesia for too long.”

good."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After opening Frederick's residence, Bai Zhou began to recall the thought that flashed by just now.

I remember there is a poison that seems to cure leprosy.

However, this is mentioned in a short story he has read. There was a tragic young man who failed to commit suicide by taking poison, but instead cured his leprosy.

Of course, the authenticity of the matter cannot be verified. After all, in the era when BCG was already popular in later generations, I have never heard of any patient taking poison in order to fight the poison with poison.

After all, it is a hope, no matter what, otherwise, relying on current medical technology, even if you release all the blood on the Leprosy King, it will definitely not be cured.

The key is, what is this poison called?

No, I won’t think about this anymore. Anyway, Li Jin is also coming with the army. I will ask him if he knows it.

Huh? Sir” A familiar voice called Bai Zhou.

Zhou Xunsheng looked at him and turned out to be an old acquaintance, Horcani

Hall? Why are you here?"

Is it a pity that friends come from afar? Although Haoer and Bai Zhou are not friends, seeing Haoer does make Bai Zhou feel like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. It is fake to say that they are unhappy.

It's hard to describe it." Haul then told his experience.

I didn't think there was anything difficult to do when I was in the end. To put it simply, he couldn't make it under the Dharma King (maybe because of his help from Giles). Then, he brought his brothers to Jerusalem to try his luck.

He was not good at saying it was angry. He was appreciated by Berryon. He is now an officer of the Knights of the Hospital, or a more prestigious officer who could speak in front of Raymond. He was also named a knight. However, with the rise of Saladin, his good luck ended here, and he could only retreat to Rhodes Island with the large army.

So, are you the messenger sent by Duboan IV?"

Yes, how do you know, sir?"

It happened that I was the messenger of the Holy Roman Empire." Bai Zhou smiled. It seemed that in this era when information was not very developed, the earth was not very big. It was tens of thousands of miles away that I could even meet old friends.

Lord, then when will we set off?" Haul is much more relaxed now. After all, he knew when he came that even if his family was willing to form an alliance, whether the Holy Roman Empire was willing or not was really between the two. In this situation, not only Frederick agreed, but even the messengers sent were old acquaintances. Then this time his mission was definitely over-completed.

The faster the better, Frederick is anxious to recover the Holy City.”

I think so too.”

Then, we will set out tomorrow morning."

good"

When I arrived at my own camp, I told the other generals of the Western Qin Dynasty what happened today, just to tell them a few more words and tell them what it means to charge behind and retreat in front.

Latin is not a king like Isaac, nor Egypt is not Byzantium.

But Saladin showed kindness to others, but his kindness was directed against civilians. If he was merciful to his enemies with weapons, he would not know how many times he had been killed.

Moreover, what impressed Bai Zhou was the Mamulik cavalry under Saladin. This thing is a killer weapon in desert combat. If on the Europa continent, major knights could still fight with the Mamulik cavalry, but in the Middle East desert area, this was almost an unsolvable existence. Although this army was almost completely destroyed in the hands of the Leprosy King, who dared to pat his chest to ensure that he was better than the Leprosy King?

Then, Bai Zhou called Li Jin again.

Ben, a man like Li Jin, is still a technical talent. He is definitely a treasure in Western Qin. Bai Zhou was reluctant to let him go to Jerusalem to eat sand, but Li Jin made such a few words as "Liang Po is old, can he still eat?" and directly attributed Bai Zhou's practice to the level of disrespect for the elderly and loving the young.

Li Jin did help him a lot. At least none of the soldiers in the Western Qin were left behind due to heatstroke. Frederick even sent someone to ask, but Li Jin refused because there was not enough medicinal materials and only agreed to prepare summer heat relief soup for all senior officers and nobles. Well, it was still sold at a high price.

I know why the unknown herbs pulled from the ground can be sold for money, but Li Jin has done it anyway.

A herb for treating leprosy?" Li Jin frowned and thought carefully.

There are almost no leprosy among the people of Western Qin. The reason is very simple. After the past thirty years of migration, those who can persist and withstand the hard work are all strong people.

A older generation doctor, Li Jin, must have known about the disease of leprosy, and also knew that this disease is almost beyond cure now.

I remember a medicine. Once when I was flipping through the chat, it seemed that it had some effect on leprosy.”

Is it true? Bai Zhou said excitedly.

Get up, although he had never met Du Boan, it seemed that his life and death had nothing to do with Bai Zhou and Xi Qin, but how to say, it is better to save a life than to build a seven-level pagoda (ah, the real reason is that if Du Boan was saved, then his friendship could be really exchanged for yellow and white things). Moreover, if such a tragic hero, if Bai Zhou could save him, Bai Zhou felt that he should do something.

When I read this history myself, I often sighed for Joan of Arc, the Leprosy King and others, which was called the unfairness of the way of heaven. Now I have this opportunity and this ability. If I ignore their deaths, Bai Zhou feels that he will be very regretful.

Yes, it's called Thunder Teng, but no one can guarantee the success rate. Maybe it's saved, or maybe it will kill the patient directly." Li Jin said with his white beard.

Bai Zhou naturally considered the issue of success rate. There is no 100% useful medicine in this world. Anyway, for the Leprosy King, success means saving his life, and failure means suffering less torture and going to see God directly. Of course, Bai Zhou will explain this to him clearly. If Du Boan is unwilling, Bai Zhou cannot directly feed him.

Thunder Vine?" Bai Zhou said with a little puzzled. He remembered that the poison was famous. He just couldn't imagine it for a while, but it certainly wouldn't be the name Thunder Vine.

Oh, it's what we often call heartbreaking grass."

…”It seems that the heartbreaking herb can not only relieve the poison of love flower, but also relieve the disease of leprosy.

Afterwards, Bai Zhou remembered another question, such poisonous grass that is incorruptible is not easy to find, and Li Jin may not be able to carry it with him.

Li Jin seemed to see Bai Zhou's thoughts and said, "I have this grass with me." Then he continued, "Far away from my hometown, I am worried that the young master will not know when it will be used, because this grass is beyond cure for local doctors. I think the young master's enemies cannot find the cause of death."

Zhou rolled his eyes unconsciously, and with this Li Sheng hand, he was a good player to poison it. Indeed, he was hit by the poison of the Heartbreak Grass, and he knew how he died.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Muliuk cavalry came from Egypt, but was not composed of Egyptians, but a slave corps composed of people from Thrace, Macedonia, Caucasus, Armenia, Azerbaijan and other places. However, this slave corps was not much the same as others. The Maliuk cavalry was purchased or abducted from their hometown when they were less than six years old. These boys basically had no idea of ​​their family and life experience. All the boys who had screened were castrated (Is it the legendary TJ Legion?), and then they were engaged in ruthless military training. The courses they mainly studied were equestrians and fighting. Generally, one-third of the boys died in the process of adulthood, and the survivors were naturally trained to have no family, no family, and even no ** war machines.
