Chapter 107 The Third Party Leaking Secrets
When Kuoduan saw the Shenwei Army scolding him for having no moral bottom line, and then saw the rotting corpses on the ground, his eyes bulged out and he roared wildly.
These methods are what they are used to. In the past, they only scared the enemy, but now they have invented biological and bacterial warfare, throwing corpses into wells and pools until a plague is caused to exterminate the opponent.
Kuo Duan's generals came in one after another to report that more than a dozen bodies had fallen into the water source in the fortress, and it was impossible to salvage them all. Obviously, drinking water could not be used. The ground was full of rotten corpses and broken meat, and the tents and roofs were also full of them. The soldiers were unable to clean them up.
A small number of Mongolian soldiers had already begun to vomit and have diarrhea, and everyone in the camp was in a panic, fearing that they would be infected with the plague.
Kuo Duan was furious and shouted, "There are only five bodies, where did so many dead people come from?"
"This is a psychological warfare launched by Zhao Qier to scare people."
"There is no plague here, no."
However, no matter how hysterical he was, the fear of the impending plague had begun to spread in the fortress.
Because his roar just proved that a plague had broken out in the army.
From the general to the menial worker, no one doubted it.
Another important factor that prompted Zhao Yulin to do this was that the Shenwei Army’s thunder bombs were almost exhausted.
Without thunder bombs, he would never be able to order his brothers to attack the strong fortress with their flesh and blood. Therefore, he thought of fighting a psychological war.
These enemies were trapped in the fort, terrified, hungry and cold, and were prone to disease. Coupled with the fear of contracting the plague, they were more likely to suffer mental collapse.
As expected, within two days the Mongolian soldiers began to kill each other in panic. Some fought for a clean dripping rock, while others took up swords to fight for a healthy cow for food. Kuoduan became scared and felt that he was losing control of the team.
Tahai handed him a bowl of clean water and said: We have to go. People in the team are constantly suffering from diarrhea, the toilets are stinking, and at least three hundred people can't get up.
Kuoduan was shocked and asked him: Is the plague really coming?
Tahai shook his head blankly, saying that the military doctor didn't know, but there were people infected in every camp, and the number of patients was increasing rapidly. For this reason, he sent people to find a deep pit, secretly set up a disaster relief center, and directly pulled the seriously ill people there and killed them.
Kuoduan's hand holding the golden bowl was shaking...
At night, Zhao Yulin and his brothers studied the battle situation.
Miao Gui said that the logistical supplies had been transported up. Two thousand thunder bombs and ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder could completely blow down the dilapidated Cao Cao Fort.
Hao Xiaoming reported that more than 20 of his brothers had diarrhea. If it was a plague, the people in Kuoduan would definitely have more severe diarrhea. At this time, their combat effectiveness must have collapsed, and it would get worse and worse in the future .
Zhao Yulin thought there was no need to rush. We all knew there would be a plague inside, so why should we let our brothers rush in?
We will use the weapons in our hands to carry out an isolation war, give them a way to escape, and we will chase and kill them at the same time, and we will reach the Jin territory not far away.
He estimated that through the propaganda over this period of time, everyone over there knew that these people were plague gods, and they would definitely not open the city gates to welcome them in, so they would just have to let them escape while starving.
The medical officer believed that Zhao Yulin’s method was the best and could minimize the infection rate.
Miao Gui continued to arrange anti-epidemic measures, and even the seized cattle, sheep and horses were separated and isolated for free-range breeding. Homemade alcohol was transported up to ensure medical use, and Tianshui quickly built three lime kilns, and a large amount of quicklime became the simplest and most effective disinfectant.
Zhao Yulin was still discussing matters with his brothers when the guards outside the government office reported that someone wanted to see him. The man claimed to be Zhao Yulin's good friend.
He felt strange. Who else was his good friend in Tianshui?
Zhao Yulin asked him to come in.
After the man entered, the guards removed the black cloth covering his face, revealing he was a handsome young man.
The young man claimed that he had something important to tell and that he could only talk to him.
Zhao Yulin said that everyone present was his brothers and it was okay to speak frankly.
But the young man insisted, otherwise he would not say a word.
Zhao Yulin was surprised and asked everyone to disperse first.
The two of them were facing each other three meters apart, and the young man was quite generous and wanted to set up the stove, coffee table and four treasures of the study to talk about something. Zhao Yulin found it interesting and did not stop him at all, letting him play out his ideas.
The man quickly wrote on a piece of manuscript paper and held it up to indicate.
Zhao Yulin took a glance and was immediately startled.
It turned out that this person was Ture's youngest son Hubili.
Zhao Yulin admired this man's courage. At such a young age, he dared to cross the line of fire in the fierce fighting and run over to negotiate with him.
He was a little curious and continued to watch the man write.
This little brother actually wanted Zhao Yulin to lend his father a passage to conquer the Jin Dynasty, and he could set any conditions he wanted.
Zhao Yulin shook his head and wrote one word: "No."
Then, the young man wrote to ask Zhao Yulin to help him kill the person on the opposite side, and pointed to Cao Cao's Fort.
This made Zhao Yulin confused again, because that person was a member of their Golden Family, the Khan's son.
Zhao Yulin still shook his head and wrote the three words "Follow God's Will".
The young man also wrote: He had a premonition that the Khan was going to persecute his father, and that his life might be in danger after the defeat at Dasan Pass. He hoped that Zhao Yulin would at least make Kuoduan suffer a severe defeat so that his father would not be put to death in front of the Khan for the crime of defeat.
I see.
Zhao Yulin remained silent and just drank his tea.
The young man continued to write: He knew that the Shenwei Army had been repairing the Ziwu Road, and was going to attack Guanzhong from Ziwu, but he would not tell anyone. As long as he could be helped in the present situation, he was willing to provide assistance to the Shenwei Army to enter the pass.
Now it was Zhao Yulin's turn to be amazed.
Damn, this kid actually knew his wishful thinking that he had hidden for two years.
Zhao Yulin organized his thoughts and wrote: Whether your father lives or dies has nothing to do with the war. The Khan may force your father to drink his foot washing water recently, which is absolutely fatal and has no antidote.
The young man opposite saw it and was immediately stunned.
When he came to his senses, Zhao Yulin wrote two words and showed them to him.
The young man was surprised and immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Yulin to express his gratitude.
He waved his hand, told them to see him off, and threw the manuscript in his hand into the fire pit.
Later, Li Sanqiang came in and Zhao Yulin asked him to take five guards to send the person to a safe place.
When Miao Gui and his men came back, Zhao Yulin told them: "Always be on guard against Kuo Duan's escape, but don't kill him. We should insist on non-contact warfare, chase him and attack him fiercely, and kill as many of his living forces as possible."
Lu Youpeng reported: Intelligence shows that a Mongolian reinforcement force is coming from Pingliang, and the distance is less than 100 miles.
He judged that the enemy would try to escape at dawn, so he ordered people to make preparations as soon as possible.
The generals quickly dispersed.
At dawn, Miao Gui came in and told him that Kuoduan had run away. The Shenwei Army chased him closely and chased him all the way. In half a day, they rushed into the Jin-controlled area, and no one paid any attention to Kuoduan.
The people in the city placed provisions and food outside the city to prevent them from entering the city to escape the disaster.
Kuoduan regretfully fled with several thousand cavalrymen who were completely lightly equipped.
Zhao Yulin seized a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, all of which were required to be disinfected with alcohol. All horses, cattle and sheep were driven into the valley for isolation and were separated from those allowed to roam freely.
Immediately, a professional disinfection team was sent to clean up Cao Cao Fort.
After he finished his instructions, he asked Miao Gui to stay behind and went to Qingyeyuan.
The battle of Dasan Pass ended almost at the same time as that of Tianshui. Tu Lei and Cao Youwen were in a stalemate in front of Dasan Pass and dragged it on until the end of the battle of Tianshui, probably to buy time for their nephew.
In short, the uncle and nephew's dreams all turned into bubbles.
Zhao Yan held a grand banquet for all the generals. Lao Cao told him that Dasan Pass had also been disinfected. There were too many corpses and no place to bury them, so they were all cremated.
Zhao Yulin said that corpse poison is a virus that is difficult to cure. If it is not treated, it will harm others and yourself. Grassland people like to eat marmots, which they call big ground rats. This small animal is most likely to carry the plague virus. Once symptoms appear, you must be careful.
Ogedei was somewhat depressed when he heard the news that both sides were defeated, but the Jin Dynasty won a great victory. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty fled to Caizhou, and large areas of the country were groaning in pain under the iron hoofs of the Mongolian army.
He cheered himself up and called a few brothers to return to Helin to party.
When Hubili learned that his father had been ordered to go to Khorin, he became extremely anxious and went to his mother to try to dissuade him.
His mother would never believe his lies.
Hubili had no choice but to tell his mother about his meeting with Zhao Yulin, but he got a loud slap in the face from his mother.
Then, the mother and son hugged each other and cried loudly...
Zhao Yulin certainly didn't know that Hu Bili had broken his promise and told the secret between them to a third party. After completing his mission in Qingyeyuan, he hurried back to Yangzhou.
Ma Linger arranged a sumptuous welcoming dinner, and the two of them returned to their room in no time. When they woke up after a fierce battle, it was Fenghuang who was by his side.
Zhao Yulin was speechless. Knowing what the two women were thinking, he pulled the quilt over them.
The morning sun shone through the window. Zhao Yulin could not bear the repeated attacks and gave in. He told Fenghuang to get up and do his business.
Ma Ling'er brought the fried eggs with a smile, and Fenghuang said proudly, "I have defeated you, brother. Please serve me the meal."
Ma Ling'er really took the bowl and went to feed her.
After breakfast, Zhao Yulin came to the conference room. Li Dagui came in to report the situation in Gucheng. The Jin Kingdom suffered successive defeats, and a large number of refugees fled to the border, among whom were many defeated soldiers. Gucheng resettled them on a voluntary basis, organized military farms, and recruited soldiers. Now it has become a hot land.
Lu Youpeng said that due to the rapid increase in population in Gucheng, various public security problems occurred frequently, and there were a large number of Jin people among the new recruits who needed to be educated. Da Kui was obviously unable to cope with the situation, so he came to the big tent to ask for help.
Li Dagui immediately nodded and said that he had made careful selections and that the number of new recruits exceeded 5,000, and that the training would be personally presided over by a training envoy sent by the big tent.
Moreover, the composition of these soldiers is complex. A large number of Beggars' Sect disciples have joined voluntarily, but they still have the identity of Beggars' Sect.
Zhao Yulin looked at Lu Youpeng and said that the Shenwei Army did not allow gangs to exist within the army. Old Lu went there personally to explain to them clearly that if they wanted to join the Shenwei Army, they had to leave any gang, and if they wanted to be a gang disciple, they should not come to our Shenwei Army. This was the rule.
