Chapter 156 On the Side of the Couch
Their group of 10,000 new soldiers was dispersed and sent to four disaster-stricken cities. The third princess was only divided with the three of them, and then arrived at Fengxuan city.
By the time they arrived, the water in Fengxuan City had receded, but the city was in a mess, with collapsed houses, drowned and smashed people and livestock, and clothes and clothes floating everywhere. The furniture, the road and the yellow mud brought by the floods, there was not even a dry place to stand.
It was also the first time for the third princess to face a natural disaster. Looking at the people hugging each other and crying loudly, and the people who had no time to bury them and died with no regrets, she had a nightmare for the first time, and before she could recover, she had a nightmare. , tasks come one after another.
The thousand of them were divided into two teams, one team cleaned up the garbage, and the other team rescued the people, temporarily settling them in a safe place, and then gathered the bodies, burned and buried them.
The Third Princess and the three female soldiers were assigned to clean up the garbage. Every day they came into contact with either dead bodies or rotting poultry. There was always a rotten smell lingering under their noses, and their appetites were reduced.
After half of the city was cleared, the government officials began to mobilize the people to dig out all the edible things from the ruins, and then began to clear the remaining half of the city bit by bit.
During this period, a common man did not bury the poultry as ordered, but instead cooked and ate the meat privately. As a result, the family of seven began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Within three days, each of the family members collapsed and died. , his own life hangs on a thread.
The female official of the government office was very smart, and immediately asked the medical officer to hang him for life. After he regained consciousness, he asked the reason, and found out that it was rotten poultry that caused the trouble. Since he would do this , other people will probably do the same.
In the eyes of the people, as long as the rotten parts are cut off, the remaining meat can still be eaten. What's more, they can't eat dirt before the relief food arrives!
Immediately, the plague broke out in Fengxuan City. Not only the people, but also the soldiers did not escape the disaster. Fortunately, there were imperial doctors and doctors stationed in the city. They immediately arranged manpower to treat those who were in physical condition and People without symptoms were separated, and then they boiled the symptomatic medicine and began to smoke the medicine all over the city.
Because the Third Princess paid great attention to protection, she was among the second batch to be infected, and her illness was not the most severe. Moreover, because of her special status, it can be said that she used the best medicine left in the city, so Only then can I hold on until now.
“The third princess had a high fever before, but now it has subsided. She is just a little confused and sleeps and wakes up. When she is awake, we feed her rice porridge and soup, and the situation has improved.”
"Okay, thank you for your help. I guess you haven't had a good rest recently. Go get some food first, and then get a prepared medicine bag to make soup and drink. You must also take care of yourself. The Third Princess needs you."
Xian Shijun was only halfway relieved when he learned that his daughter had passed the most dangerous period, and immediately asked the three of them to rest.
The three guards did not refuse. They did not leave before because they had no one they trusted. Now that Xian Shijun is here, he will definitely take good care of his daughters. At least they can retire with success.
Xian Shijun stayed in the tent to take care of the third princess. It was not until the sun set that the third princess woke up. She opened her eyes with great effort and saw her father. She felt as if she was dream.
Xian Shijun also noticed that his daughter was awake, and immediately held Fang's hand, covering her forehead with the other hand, and whispered softly:
"But she's feeling better? Still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want some water?"
"Father, why are you here?"
"Knowing that something happened to you, the Queen was very worried about you and asked me to bring people and medicinal materials to Fengxuan City to find you."
"I thought you didn't want me anymore"
The third princess cried with no hope, which made Xian Shijun laugh, and then he said seriously:
"Now do you know the dangers outside? If it weren't for the guards secretly arranged by your mother, do you think you would Do you still have the life to live till now?”
Xian Shijun nodded the third princess’s forehead and scolded her with some hatred.
"I know! I will never do such stupid things again. Only when I left the capital this time did I realize how difficult it is for the people."
On the day when Xian Shijun entered Fengxuan City, the generals of the Zhao family had to After learning about this, the general of the Zhao family had a gloomy look on her face. She felt that someone must have set a trap for them secretly, and the third princess was just a trap for them. "General, look now"
"Send a message to the second princess in the capital, tell her the situation here, so that she can be mentally prepared, and also send a doctor with high medical skills. When the imperial doctor enters Fengxuan City, we must not let anything happen to the third princess!
The third princess is the queen’s favorite daughter. If something happens to her in the team we lead, the queen will not take it lightly! Spare us, and we may even implicate the Second Princess.”
"Yes, I will take care of it now."
Panlong Kingdom
The sixth prince, who had succeeded to the throne for half a year, learned that there was a flood in Fengqi Kingdom, and he had some ideas. The five lost cities were a thorn in his heart, and he felt aggrieved when he thought about it. There was no money to fight the war before, but now there was a flood in Fengqi Kingdom, and he felt that the time had come for them to take action.
In the morning of the second day, he couldn't wait to share the news with the civil and military ministers of the dynasty.
Zhang Zhang was the most discerning and immediately stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty is wise, this is our best chance to get back those five cities! I think that we don't need to go head-to-head this time, and we can use the floods in Fengqi Kingdom to make a fuss."
"No fight. The best strategy is to subjugate the enemy's troops!"
A military attache jumped out immediately.
My white-haired old man from the Ministry of Revenue also stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, generally there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. Medicinal materials and food are the most scarce things. We can use These earn money from Fengqi Kingdom and expand the treasury.”
"What Aiqing said makes sense, is there any other way?"
The new emperor continued to ask.
“There are still our people among the five cities occupied by Fengqi Kingdom. One of them has been affected by a flood. We can let them incite the people and conflict with the soldiers who defend the city, and then we can cooperate inside and outside. Take the city first."
"If there is a plague in the city, the risk we take is too high."
Some military commanders immediately became unwilling, and these civil servants kept talking. At first glance, it was their soldiers who charged into the battle, and they were not willing to let their men die.
"Just kill those who are infected with the plague. Those women are unwilling to succumb to us. Do they still want us to raise them?"
A pedantic powerful official said.
"Well, what Aiqing said makes sense, we have to plan carefully and take it step by step."
The new emperor said with narrowed eyes.
On the other side, the second princess also received a letter from General Zhao. She learned that the third princess was infected with the plague and was trapped in Fengxuan City, and that the wise servant had arrived in Fengxuan City. She was worried As soon as he got down from court, he went to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
