"Go back to the prince, I think it's feasible!"

Tuoba Jian immediately got up and yelled at all the officials and generals: "Build a new camp, everyone go back immediately and organize the staff to gather the patients in the newly built camp! General Wan, the guards in the sick area are controlled by your Huai Shuo." The army sent soldiers to guard, and everything else was arranged according to what Zhao Junsheng said, the sooner the better!"

Everyone stood up: "Obey!"

Zhao Junsheng was worried, and immediately called Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Pei Jin, Cao Jiao and others after he returned to his camp area, and asked them to take people to patrol immediately to see if anyone had contracted the disease.

After the inspection, no case has been found for the time being. Zhao Junsheng was relieved a little, but he couldn't relax completely. He immediately ordered that the soldiers are not allowed to go out until the patients of other armies are not completely isolated from others. Camp, so as not to be infected.

By evening the new camp had been set up and all had been discovered

All patients are transferred to the new camp, and anyone who has similar symptoms will be sent to the patient area immediately. The entire patient area is extremely guarded, almost every three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, except for the medical craftsman Everyone, no one is allowed to approach, patients are not allowed to come out, and even those doctors who take care of patients are not allowed to easily contact healthy people.

At night, the generals and schools of various armies came to the tent of the Chinese army to report the patients' condition to Tuobajian.

Gu Bingtang reported to Tuobajian with a tired expression: "My lord, all the patients have been transferred to the new camp. There are more than [-] people who have been diagnosed with the disease, and there are more than [-] people with similar symptoms. These people are placed aside. , not placed together with confirmed patients!"

Tuoba Jian was shocked: "What? There are so many people suffering from the disease? What should I do!"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the contact between patients and the outside world is strictly controlled, as long as someone with similar symptoms is found in time and quarantined immediately, the spread of the disease will soon be curbed!"

Tuobajian couldn't be happy all the time, but he could only nod his head, and told Gu Bingtang: "Medical Officer Gu, we must prepare a prescription that can cure this disease as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best!"

For two days in a row, the healthy soldiers found more than 150 cases one after another, more than 90 cases on the first day, and more than 60 cases on the second day. These people were immediately isolated as soon as they were found.

This morning, Tuoba Jian called the generals to discuss the matter again, and said to them: "Generals, the spies have come to report that they have found a Rouran cavalry with a strength of more than 1 people fifty miles to the southeast of us. It’s Big Tan’s younger brother, Pi Lixian! But now our army’s soldiers’ morale is low due to the epidemic, if we send troops to fight Pi Lixian at this time, I’m worried that not only will we not be able to win, but we will suffer a disastrous defeat!”

Chapter 365 Spying on the Enemy

The wēn yi bào fā incident in the army in the past two days has made people panic, everyone is in danger, lest they will be infected, soldiers and generals are on guard against each other, how to fight in this state?There is no tacit understanding between the generals at all.

Tuobajian's words also caused the generals present to think deeply. At this time, Xiaoqi General Yanpu stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, among our army and horses, only Zhao Dutong's supply camp has not found any disease patients so far. Their Morale is the highest, and the last general suggests that the supply battalion be sent out to intercept Pilesian's army!"

Some other generals began to whisper to each other.

Tuoba Jian asked Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Dutong, what do you think?"

Of course Zhao Junsheng would not foolishly agree, he stood up and said to Yanpu: "General Xiaoqi, I, Mr. Zhao, have no grudge against you, right? Why do you want to hurt me so much?"

Yanpu pretended not to understand, "What did Zhao Dutong say? What I'm going to say is the truth. Now only your supply battalion has the highest morale and has not been affected by the epidemic. Only the supply battalion is the most suitable for battle. Others All the armies can’t do it, did the general make a mistake?”

"Hmph, I only have [-] cavalry and less than [-] infantry. On this prairie, you can see tens of miles away at a glance. Rouran's cavalry can choose any place for the battlefield, and infantry can't reach it at all." Any role will be dragged down instead. You asked me to use [-] cavalry to fight someone with [-] iron cavalry. If the general Xiaoqi is afraid of confronting the Rouran army, why not give me your Xiaoqi army How about I command them to fight the Rouran army?"

"you······"

Tuoba Jian immediately stopped their quarrel, "Okay, don't quarrel! Generals, can you use tricks? For example, use the method of ambush, setting up an ambush on the only way Pillixian's army must pass, and wait for them to enter the trap. Attack?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have already sent people to investigate the terrain within a radius of one hundred miles, and found no place that can be used for ambushes. Even if there is, it is far away. Lead the army first, but Pi Lixian is not an idiot, we don't have the conditions to lure the enemy into an ambush!"

Tuoba Jian was at a loss: "Can we just watch Pi Lixian lead the army to attack His Majesty's West Route Army in front of and behind Da Tan? What should we do?"

Tuoba Jian knew in his heart that Pi Lixian was going to attack the West Route Army from behind. If he didn't try to intercept Pi Lixian's army, the emperor would definitely hold a grudge when he learned the truth afterwards. If a courtier impeached him, he, the prince Not only would his title be lost, but his life might be in danger, and even his entire family would be executed. Could he not be in a hurry?

All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could think of a good solution. In just two or three days, the panic caused by the plague in the military camp could not be eliminated.

Yu Ji thought for a while, stood up and said to King Yongchang: "My lord, we can think about the plan slowly. It is impossible for Pi Lixian's army to attack our West Route Army with the Datan army in a day or two. My subordinates suggest that we send A group of soldiers and horses followed him far away, trying to hold Pillixian, slow down their marching speed, and prevent him from leaving our sight, and wait for us to think of a plan before attacking him, I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Hearing this, Tuoba Jian agreed in his heart, Yu Ji was right, no matter what he said, Pi Lixian's army must not be out of sight, he must be sent to watch him, and he will wait until he thinks of a way to do it. He looked up and asked, "Which general is willing to lead troops to stare at Pillixian and hold him back?"

This is not a good job, if it is normal, it will be fine. Now the morale of all the armies is low, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting at all. At this time, leading the troops to stare at Pi Lixian, is it easy for Pi Lixian?Can he tolerate a tail hanging by his side or behind him?With the current state of each army, whoever goes will be unlucky!

Tuoba Jian was very annoyed, but no one shared his worries at the critical moment. He is both the commander of the Right Guard Army and the Marshal of the Eastern Route Army, so he can't be allowed to lead someone to deal with Pi Lixian, right?But besides him, the Right Guard has no general who can reassure him that he can take on this important task.

Tuoba Jian couldn't help looking at Zhao Junsheng, and said: "Junsheng, the task of holding Pi Lixian's army can only be entrusted to you.

The king does not require you to intercept them, as long as you can slow down their marching speed and buy time for our army to recover morale, what do you think? "

Zhao Junsheng knew that this matter could not be avoided, and he couldn't really let Pi Li lead the army to attack the back of the West Route Army. Hua Mulan was still there, and he couldn't let her have an accident.

However, since this task cannot be shirked and must be accepted, he must strive for sufficient benefits for the soldiers under his command. He pondered for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "I dare not disobey the order of the prince, but I just have to successfully delay it." It is not easy to live in Pilixian, a humble position requires [-] horses, and enough food, arrows, armor, and spears!"

In the past, Tuoba Jian would not have been able to produce 70 war horses at all, but this time he fought all the way, destroyed dozens of Rouran tribes, and captured a total of 20 horses. The guards captured more than 40 horses, plus the horses honored to him by the generals of the army. Now he can directly control more than [-] horses, as well as cattle, sheep, fur and other supplies. .

What are [-] war horses?As long as he can hold back Pilixian's army, Tuoba Jian doesn't care, he waved his hand: "This king gave you [-] horses, from now on these [-] horses will belong to you, as long as you can hold Pilixian's army, Afterwards, I will reward you a lot, if you have the ability to defeat Pi Li Xian, not only will the spoils belong to you, but I will also promise you that I will recommend you the title of general to His Majesty afterwards!"

This really proves the fact that no matter what the quantity is, it is worthless. If hundreds of thousands of horses enter the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the price of horses will inevitably drop in an avalanche. For those ranchers who raise horses, it is hell catastrophe.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng had no extravagant hopes for the title of general, and he did not intend to be loyal to the Northern Wei court. It would be better to give a more practical official position to control more resources and territory.

"Yes, I will do my best!"

"Come here, take Zhao Dutong to choose [-] horses for him!"

Zhao Junsheng got his wish and got [-] good horses and a large amount of combat supplies including enough grain, arrows, armor and spears.

He returned to the camp and immediately summoned his men to discuss matters.

"Everyone, we have received a mission that we cannot refuse. The scouts sent by King Yongchang have detected the traces of the army commanded by Rouran Khan's younger brother Pi Lixian. Now the Right Guard Army, Woye Army, Huaishuo Army and Xiaocai Army are all due to Morale was low due to the plague incident, and we were unable to fight. The lord wants us to send troops to hold back the Pilesian army, and wait for the other armies to recover their morale before fighting with them. This capital cannot refuse, and now only we can do it! So this capital The commander-in-chief brought you over to discuss how to successfully hold them back!"

The subordinates looked at each other and knew that this matter had already been settled, and now they could only find a solution tactically.

Gao Xiu clasped his fists and said, "Dutong, we don't know much about the situation of Pi Lixian's army. If we want to hold them back, we must first understand the situation of Pi Lixian's army before we can formulate a strategy!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said to Gao Xiu: "Now, go find a team of scouts, and Ben Du will lead them to investigate the enemy's situation in person. You must find out their situation!"

Gao Xiu agreed: "Obey!"

Zhao Junsheng then ordered the others: "You guys stay in the camp, feed the horses, and mobilize the soldiers to prepare for battle!"

"As ordered!"

A pair of carefully selected scouts were brought to Zhao Junsheng by Gao Xiu, "Du Tong, everyone is ready!"

"Let's go!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, leading Gao Xiu and the team of scouts to gallop towards the southeast.

According to the information received by the scouts of the Right Guard Army, Pi Lixian's army appeared fifty miles away to the southeast. Zhao Junsheng calculated based on the time and moved the direction of the road slightly to the west.

On this prairie, horses can gallop wildly. The horse's running ability is improved due to the flat terrain and the softness of the grass. Along the way, Zhao Junsheng and others only changed horses once before they met the wài wéi ranger scout of Li Xian's army. .

"Look, everyone, there seems to be Rouran's ranger scouts over there!" Gao Xiu pointed to the front

Shouted to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng looked up and saw three horses standing on a hill in front of him. The people on the horses were wearing animal skins and carrying bows and arrows. They must be Rouran's ranger scouts.

"Rush over!" Zhao Junsheng yelled, wanting to detect the situation of Pi Lixian's army, he had to observe closely. It is broad daylight now, and there is no way to avoid Rouran's ranger scouts, so he can only head-on Kill them to get close to Pilesian's army.
