The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 574: Insidious Means
Zhang Xiong was already very angry, but when he heard someone say something happened, his anger became even more intense: "What happened? What's all the fuss about?"

Seeing how angry he was, the guard said timidly: "Xiao Zhizong actually asked people to throw dead people, pigs, dogs and other things into our water source area. Now the soldiers are infected with intestinal diseases, and their illness is fierce. Many of them are already dead." People!"

Zhang Xiong ignored the injury on his arm, grabbed the tea cup and threw it at it: "Why are you taking revenge now for such a big thing?"

The guard knelt down and said: "At first, only a few people in each camp had stomach discomfort. The people in charge, Baihu, and others didn't pay attention. By the time they discovered it, most of the military camp had been infected."

"Seeing that the situation was out of control, I hurriedly sent the young one over to report it!"

Zhang Xiong ignored the armor and pulled off his clothes before going to the military camp. His mother and daughter-in-law hurriedly stopped him: "You were injured so seriously, and you didn't even take care of it. You just went to the military camp. What should you do if you get infected later?"

Zhang Xiong could no longer care about this at the moment. If tens of thousands of troops spread out, how could the situation be controlled?

I hate that Xiao Zhizong, a despicable villain, used such vicious means to harm others.

When Zhang Xiong arrived at the camp and took a look, his heart suddenly dropped. All he saw were soldiers who were sick and unable to take care of themselves, as well as dead bodies that had not yet been dealt with.

The military doctor came over in a hurry: "Commander, nearly [-]% of the patients are already infected, and we are still busy burning corpses every day!"

Zhang Xiong's vision went dark, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat. Could it be that all the power he had accumulated over the years was wasted because of Xiao Zhizong, a despicable villain.

Zhang Xiong wanted to go to each camp to take a look, but was stopped by his deputy: "Commander, we can't go any further. Now the epidemic is spreading and has a tendency to get worse. Please don't take it lightly, commander!"

"What's going to happen?" Zhang Xiong's eyes were splitting. "I can't just watch these brothers who have been with me through life and death go to hell!"

It's not that he doesn't know that the White Lotus Army is now heavily criticized, but most of them are people who survived with him and Wang Dasheng back then. He really can't bear to kill people.

"Tell me, is there any way to save these brothers now?" Although Zhang Xiong knew that his condition was difficult to control, he didn't know whether he was asking others or seeking an impossible result.

An old military doctor under his command bravely said: "Coach, last year I cooperated with King Changling. I wonder if it is possible to exchange our original friendship for some life-saving drugs?"

As soon as this statement came out, he was immediately scolded by a lieutenant general: "It's simply fantastic. Let's not say whether King Changling is willing to borrow medicine. Let's say that this intestinal disease is incurable. No matter how powerful King Changling is, Can even such an epidemic be cured?”

Zhang Xiong ignored those people and asked, "Tell me, is there any good medicine to cure this disease in Prince Changling?"

The old military doctor said in a trembling voice: "Intestinal disease is not an incurable disease, but the treatment is relatively complicated and troublesome. It requires oral decoction to recuperate for some time. There are too many infections in the military camp, and it is difficult to cure it with oral decoction."

"When I was young, I heard someone say that Doctor Shen of the Changling Prince's Palace developed something called penicillin, which has miraculous effects on all kinds of diseases!"

Zhang Xiong was silent for a long time after listening. Just when everyone thought that he definitely didn't believe what the old military doctor said, he opened his mouth and said, "Is it really such a miraculous effect?"

The old military doctor immediately knelt down and said: "I have never seen the effect of this medicine be it as an immediate effect, but I have someone who once served in King Changling's army and saw the miraculous effects of this magical medicine!"

"Even where there are ulcers and bones, after removing the rotten flesh, with this magical medicine, it can slowly grow muscle!"

While Zhang Xiong was still hesitating, someone came to report again. Xiao Zhizong actually took advantage of the weak morale of the White Lotus Army to attack two cities in succession.Let Zhang Xiong make an instant decision and write a letter for his messenger to rush to Chang'an for help.

The messenger arrived in Chang'an, where Tantai Lin and Jingli were planning to attack Kyoto.

"You go down and rest first, and I will reply to your coach tomorrow morning!" After reading the letter, Tantai Lin asked about the current situation of the White Lotus Army in detail, and then ordered someone to take the messenger to rest.

Although the messenger was anxious, he also knew that such a major matter would not have an immediate result, so he had to go and rest with others first.

Tantai Lin turned around and gave the letter to Jing Li, and then ordered someone to summon Huan Yuan, Bai Changhe and others to come over for discussion.

"The White Lotus army is powerful. Although it is sluggish now, there are still many people. It just so happens that while the two sides are fighting to the death, we can collect the profits from the rear." After Bai Changhe heard the news, his first reaction was to feel There is hope for Youzhou to be recovered.

If Youzhou is recovered, Kyoto will be on the way.

Zhu Datong also agreed: "Exactly, the tail of the White Lotus Army cannot be lost. If His Highness wants to stabilize the world in the future, these people will be the evil that is difficult to cure. It is unethical to kill them, and it is difficult to recruit them if they are not killed. We just take this opportunity." Clean it up in one go to get rid of the serious worries."

The remaining generals also agreed. Not many people on the battlefield talk about martial ethics. Killing you while you are sick is the norm.

Huan Yuan shook his head and said: "Several generals think this is too simple. Zhang Xiong's power cannot be defeated overnight. Although Xiao Zhizong used insidious means, he temporarily overwhelmed the White Lotus Army."

"But in the long run, Xiao Zhizong will definitely not be the opponent of the White Lotus Army. If he angers Zhang Xiong, he will inevitably be counterattacked. Under such circumstances, Xiao Zhizong will definitely be defeated!"

"If Xiao Zhizong is defeated, Zhang Xiong will dominate Youzhou and Qingzhou alone. These two places are the origins of the White Lotus Army and are very popular among the people. If Zhang Xiong calms down, then he will It’s too much to handle.”

Jingli agreed with this. Although the White Lotus Army is not as popular as it was before, the King of Hejian is too cruel. After Xiao Zhizong killed his son-in-law, he also became more cruel and did not treat the people any better, so that the people in these places were It was miserable.

If Zhang Xiong gains power, he will definitely win the support of the people in these places and become his most loyal supporters. This is not what people want to see.

Tantai Lin pondered for a moment and said: "Sir, do you want to take the opportunity to win over Zhang Xiong?"

Huan Yuan nodded and said: "Exactly, there are too many followers of White Lotus. It would be unpopular to massacre them all. If we can gather them together, we should gather them as much as possible to prepare for the future!"

"I am not very talented, so I am willing to go to Qingzhou as an envoy to lobby on behalf of the prince!"

Jing Li and Tantai Lin looked at each other, knowing that this was also the best way to deal with it, to be polite before fighting. If Zhang Xiong insisted on refusing, don't blame others for taking advantage of him.

After some discussion, they decided to let Huan Yuan take several medical officers to Qingzhou the next day.

Huan Yuan and the medical officer had just set off when another big noise came from Shu.
