Chapter 22 Arrest(1/2)

I kept my eyes open until noon, and clues gradually appeared in the city.

The soldiers suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and the symptoms were not very severe, just like a bad stomach, and not all Yongliang troops were stationed in the city.

But rumors about the plague spread through the city like a summer wind.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty, several major plagues broke out in succession.

So that the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles.

At this time, the sound of sharp horse hooves could be heard from time to time in the city.

The soldiers were cursing and the stench was high.

Yang Zheng was filled with guilt, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If it continues to be sealed off like this, all the wounded soldiers in the city will definitely be wiped out, and a real plague will break out.

Conspiracy is like a double-edged sword, it depends on the behavior of the person holding the sword.

At dusk, more people showed symptoms, and some began to vomit.

Although there were only a few hundred people in total, with the rumors of the plague, people's hearts finally began to rise.

Yang Zheng hurriedly reported it to his immediate superior, Captain Xunfan. Unexpectedly, Xunfan disapproved and advised him to do less than to do more.

Yang Zheng had no choice but to report directly to Xia Houxuan.

Xia Houxuan frowned, "A doctor reported this matter a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to become so serious in a few days."

"Tens of thousands of people gathered in a small town. Their injuries and illnesses were not treated, their bodies were not buried in time, the weather was hot, and epidemics were unavoidable. Only the governor could avoid this disaster." Yang Zheng flattered him respectfully.

Xia Houxuan is not Cao Shuang. He has a certain resistance to flattery, and there is no wave on his face. "It is a matter of life and death for the soldiers. Make preparations early. I will go and discuss this matter with General Guo."

Yang Zheng sighed in his heart, you are the governor of Yongliang.

After bidding farewell to Xia Houxuan, Yang Zheng went back and quietly waited for the news.

In the evening, there was a sudden noise in the city, and some soldiers shouted in unison: "All armies must not move rashly. Everyone returns to their base camp. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

Then there was the clanging sound of soldiers' armor, coming towards the Chinese army camp with murderous intent.

Yang Zheng was stunned, something seemed wrong.

With a "bang" sound, the door was kicked open.

A group of Yongliang soldiers filed out, their torches were bright, and their swords were already unsheathed.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but be shocked, Guo Huai found him so quickly?

In history, Zhuge Wuhou made many northern expeditions, and Guo Huai became more and more courageous with each setback. At the last time, Wuhou stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan, including Sima Yi, and all the generals were happy, thinking that the heart of Guanzhong was safe.

Only Guo Huai saw through Wu Hou's plan to attack the east and attack the west, and strongly advised Sima Yi to occupy Beiyuan first and defend Yangsui.

Sima Yi used his strategy to defend Beiyuan and Yangsui first, causing Wuhou to work in Wuzhangyuan without success and eventually fell.

You can imagine the pressure on Yang Zheng by playing dirty tricks with such a person.

The Yongliang army lined up, and a man walked out, looking at everyone coldly, "Under the order of General Guo, we will arrest you carefully!"

With a wave of his hand, the troops began to search around the camp.

Earthen pots were thrown around, straw mats were flying around, and all clothes and armor were looked through.

Even corn and wheat were thrown on the ground and rummaged through.

Yang Zheng felt a little relieved when he saw that it was not for him and that there was no Guo Huai himself.

Everyone in the Chinese army dared not speak out in anger, but Captain Xunfan was obedient and even hid behind the sergeant.

This man was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan, and he was usually considered to be both civil and military, but like most of the high-ranking disciples, he lacked courage.

The Yongliang army searched carefully for a while, but found nothing prohibited.

"Where is the captain?"

Everyone looked at Xun Fan, who had no choice but to step out and throw his hands at the Yongliang generals, "Colonel Zhang, why are you so mobilized?"

Colonel Zhang didn't even raise his eyes, with a chill hanging from the corner of his mouth, "Someone saw your Chinese army poisoning the wells in the city!"

Yang Zheng's scalp suddenly became numb.

Did you notice it so quickly?

He was obviously very careful and did not miss anything. He and Linghu Sheng did everything personally. The only loophole was that Cheng Shisan was also hidden in the dark cellar by himself today.

He couldn't help but glance at Linghu Sheng, only to see that Linghu Sheng also looked surprised and confused.

No, last night both myself and Linghu Sheng were dressed in black and working in the dark. Even if they were seen, they would only suspect that they were sneaking into the city.

Why would you doubt yourself?

Xun Fan's face jumped a few times, "How is this possible? Our people are also suffering from vomiting and diarrhea."

Zhang Xiaowei held the Huanshou Sword, pushed Xun Fan away in an extremely rude manner, and inspected everyone one by one.

His nose twitched like a dog. Every time he passed two or three people, he would stop and look carefully, "Take it!"

Two Yongliang troops came up and fought each other away, one on the left and the other on the right.

"What are you doing with me?" The person who was taken away struggled, and was immediately beaten and kicked.

Everyone looked at Xun Fan again.

However, Xun Fan's face turned red, he took a step back, simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, out of sight and out of mind.

Yang Zheng was disappointed for a while, thinking to himself that it was no wonder that the Chinese army had been stepped on by the Yongliang army. It was no wonder that Pang Hui wanted to change his job. If he had the conditions, he would also change jobs.

From Cao Shuang's brothers to Cao Xia and then to this Xun Fan, they all have a way of making money and fighting for power, but they don't have any ability to support the scene.

With Xun Fan's family background, if he stood up and said a few hard words, would Captain Zhang really dare to use the knife?

Although Guo Huai was on holiday, Xiahou Xuan was also on holiday and was still the governor of Yongliang.

At least in name.

Is it possible that Guo Huai really dares to fall out?

Yang Zheng couldn't help but think of a long-circulated nursery rhyme: To promote a scholar who doesn't know how to read, to promote a filial piety and integrity, his father lives away from home, he is cold and pure as mud, and a good general is as timid as a chicken.

Lieutenant Zhang sneered rather disdainfully and continued to arrest people.

He quickly walked to Yang Zheng.

Two balls of ghostly fire flashed in his eyes, as if they were about to burn the person to ashes at any moment.

If there was really any evidence, he wouldn't be so brazen and show off his power.

Isn't this just a warning?

And it is very possible that the Yongliang army was just looking for trouble out of habit, and was used to throwing all kinds of dirty water on the Chinese army.

Yang Zheng calmed down.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

These days, if you just know how to kill people and have no psychological quality, you will definitely not be able to do it. Sooner or later, you will be the fish on someone else's chopping board.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It would be great if he could travel back to the late Tang Dynasty. The warriors were rising and the tooth soldiers were in power. If the boss didn't like it, he would carry it away with a click of a knife. The next one...

Why should I accept this bird's anger?

While others dodged when being watched, Yang Zheng stared at him coldly.

I almost imitated the Northeastern elder brother of later generations and blurted out: What are you looking at?

The two gazes touched each other like sword blades.

Yang Zheng was calm and calm, without giving in, believing that they were bluffing.

In his previous life, he knew a truth: Those who bluff will bully the weak and fear the strong.

This is human nature, the same as in ancient times and today.

After four or five breaths, Colonel Zhang's eyes relaxed, and he finally looked away and turned to the next one.

Yang Zheng felt relieved and became more certain that the Yongliang army did not know much of the truth and was just deceiving.

At most, Guo Huai found out that there was a problem with the water source.

But this efficiency is already amazing.

Just when Yang Zheng was secretly happy, Captain Zhang came to Linghu Sheng and said: "Take it!"

He escaped, but Linghu Sheng did not.

Two sergeants came forward to fetch the man.

Can you get something good if you are taken away by the Yongliang army? After being tortured and tortured, something might happen.

Yang Zheng believed that Linghu Sheng would not betray him.

But I believe in Guo Huai's methods even more.

I have done a lot of things during this period, including privately purchasing military rations and privately accepting wounded soldiers. If I uncovered any of them at random, I would have violated military law.
