The northwest wind is in the wind and the heavy rain flies in the slanting direction, and the boat bridge on the river is hazy in the rain, as if it is shrouded in heavy fog.

The long team of people slowly squirmed in the rain. Some people wore straw hats and hats, a few had straw raincoats, and some soldiers didn't find anything to shelter the rain, so they marched in the rain.

The roads in the wild are paved with bricks and stones. After a whole night of rain, the road was trampled by countless people this morning, and it was already muddy.

The conditions at this time are limited, and there is no need for too many natural disasters. Just a normal rain can slow down the movement of the army. The distance from Pingyuefu to Yangshuo County is less than 60 miles. If the weather is good, the army can reach it in less than two days. However, with the current road conditions, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach Yangshuo County in three days with a large number of vehicles and supplies in the army.

The military order to deport the camp was issued by Zhu Gaoxu, so he is now standing on the side of the road, wearing armor but not covering the rain, and is wet in the rain with his soldiers.

He reached out and wiped the water from his face, turned to his head and said to his generals: "Fighting often involves 800 self-destruction and killing another thousand enemies; and now we are fighting in another way. To endure difficulties by ourselves, the only meaning is to make the enemy suffer more pain."

Several generals agreed one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu has been fighting for wars over the years, and he seems to be very good at fighting, but he does not like war. Just like everything he feels, it is not only bloody, but also full of maliciousness, and he uses any means to no avail...

After exploring the horses, Wu Gao's army did cross the Lechuan River last night. The enemy marched overnight and rained all night. The weather we encountered today would not be any different, and the situation would only be worse than that of the Han Wang Army!

The current location of Sheng Yong's army is probably near Wuzhou Prefecture. After Sheng Yong received military information in front, he would definitely not go to He County again. He would go straight north. Sheng Yong's southern army and Hanwang's central army have a journey of about ten days. If the Ping An cavalry left the army and went first alone, they would be able to reach the front within a few days.

It was because Zhu Gaoxu summed up the military situation everywhere that he came to the conclusion that Wu Gao did not dare to continue to delay his trip... In the confrontation in the Pingyuefu area, Wu Gao had delayed for two days. If he did not want to be delayed for a few more days in Yangshuo County and did not want the situation to continue to deteriorate, he had to arrive in Yangshuo County first.

Or Wu Gao can continue to change his mind, turn around again, and go towards He County. In this way, the time he has encountered Sheng Yong's troops is shorter, and Wu Gao will definitely take greater risks.

Based on a series of inferences and analysis, Zhu Gaoxu decided to make a decision to march in the rain today.

However, most of the soldiers did not understand the inside story. Everyone just rely on experience and believed in the war ability of the King of Han, so the soldiers of each army willingly implemented this military order.

At this moment, a rider from behind approached here. Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked for a while and recognized that it was Wang Bin.

Wang Bin rode a horse wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat, and he could move in just a few days. That night, the soldiers of the law enforcement team threw their whips "crackling", making the sound louder, but they were full of affection.

The two looked at each other, and both remained silent.

Wang Bin sat on the horse's back and walked slowly closer, then he clasped his fists and said, "The sinner will pay homage to the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, raised his chin again, and signaled Wang Bin to come to him.

Zhu Gaoxu observed quietly. Wang Bin looked unhappy, but there was no hatred in his eyes. He must have appreciated it.

Sure enough, Wang Bin took the initiative to greet him: "I was beaten a few times a day before, but I never admitted it once..."

"No wonder." Zhu Gaoxu responded.

Wang Bin said: "I am a person who is soft or hard."

However, Zhu Gaoxu believes that his parents must be more than just beating, otherwise why would Wang Bin not run away with his temper?

At this time, Wang Bin actually made a move to remove the straw raincoat on his body. Zhu Gaoxu reached out and pressed his arms: "I want to hide the rain, do you still need to give it to me? The injuries on your body will easily become purulent if you are not careful."

Wang Bin was stunned for a moment and stopped moving.

At this time, a loud solo song came from the group of people marching on the boat bridge. Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand the lyrics, but he heard it was the Sichuan dialect accent, and the tone was like the sound of a trumpet on the pier. Every time the soldiers sang a sentence, the soldiers around him sang the last three or two words in unison, which was very tacit. The song reminded people of the scene of a group of people pulling the boat together, and the ending was rough and upward, very loud.

More soldiers on the road called "good", and there was a lively atmosphere on both sides of the Lechuan River.

The generals around Zhu Gaoxu all smiled, but Wang Bin was still depressed, with a hint of regret.

"The bravery of the generals must be a strength." Zhu Gaoxu looked at Wang Bin sideways and said, "A hundred households, or even one general, is a good general. As long as he is brave, he is always a good general. After all, he just needs to obey the military orders of the top peak, set an example, and bravely complete the temporary rush."

Zhu Gaoxu spoke with praise. Seeing that Wang Bin did not have any resistance, he continued: "Even if he is a general on his own, his courage and courage are very important. But if he only has the courage of a brave man for a while, it will be a bad thing.

A general with heavy troops will face many choices and decisions; a heavy responsibility will affect the life and death of thousands of brothers. The bigger the battle, the less it will be possible to complete within a few hours; at this time, calmness is as important as courage, and it must last forever and not expose it!”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled lightly, "It is also very important for a real man to last for a long time."

Some of the generals heard the teasing and made a lewd and laughed. After a moment, the group of generals laughed.

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said, "I will remember the lesson of the prince!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "My personal soldiers, General Wang, are you willing?"

Wang Bin hurriedly said, "I thank the prince for not giving up!"

Zhu Gaoxu reached out and patted Wang Bin on the shoulder: "You and I live a life-long brothers are like family members. I may kill you with my own hands, but I will not abandon you."

Wang Bin looked serious and bowed slowly: "I wish to die for the king."

...If the army camps in good weather, there is no need for everyone to live in tents or houses. Some people can also burn a bonfire and wrap them in blankets and bedding. But if you spend the night on rainy days, it will definitely not work. People cannot lie in the rain and soak in the whole night.

So the Han Wang army stopped marching in the afternoon. People dragged their baggage into the mud and walked less than twenty miles a day. Each battalion selected a camp and was busy looking for houses and setting up tents. In order to speed up the march, the army had not carried enough tents, so they had to temporarily build a vegetation shack.

Zhu Gaoxu was very strong. He could no longer remember when he had taken medicine last time. He didn't expect that he would catch a cold after a cold rain. But before noon, he felt uncomfortable and had a significant fever after camping.

Unfortunately, he was not the only one who caught a cold. There were soldiers with fever and discomfort in each battalion, and it was difficult to calculate the number of people for a while.

The Yunnan doctor who followed the army came to the headquarters of the Central Army to diagnose and treat Zhu Gaoxu. He concluded that it was "typhoid fever". He also quoted the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and immediately prescribed a prescription for Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of so many people in the army getting sick, and suddenly remembered the flu and asked, "Can typhoid fever be contagious?"

The doctor pondered for a while before nodding with a serious expression: "Caomin and other masters and apprentices have found that the evil qi of typhoid fever will cause people around him to get sick. However, this disease has been treated with good prescriptions. As long as there are enough medicinal materials, the patient can recover for several days."

However, there were so many medicinal materials on the way to the marching, let alone recuperate.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "You and other doctors go to various camps to treat them, and prescribe prescriptions that can prevent typhoid fever and treat them." He then looked at Wang Bin next to him and said, "Master Wang, follow the doctor's prescriptions and try your best to find medicinal materials everywhere."

Wang Bin clasped his fists and said, "Get orders!"

Zhu Gaoxu called Hou Hai again worriedly and asked him to write a letter to Chen Zhen to force him to surrender to Ping Yuefu as soon as possible. The place with the richest materials in all kinds of materials is the city; as long as the city surrenders, the most medicinal materials can be found in the city.

Miao Jin boiled the medicine for him to drink. The medicine was actually very simple, including the five flavors of cinnamon twigs, peony, licorice, ginger, and jujube. If it is in the city, any medicine shop should have these things, and people may also have them at home.

Zhu Gaoxu was even more worried about the soldiers in the army and slept anxiously.

As expected, Chinese medicinal materials are not special medicines and they are relatively slow to take effect. Zhu Gaoxu's condition worsened after a night of sleep. He was very feverish, sometimes shaking and sometimes feeling hot. His head seemed to be filled with iron, which was heavy and painful. His strong muscles also lost their strength, and he felt weak in his limbs.

He suddenly felt the insignificance and weakness of a man. Even a strong man like him, his small illness could immediately knock him down. The physical feeling of losing strength directly hit his heart. The feeling of nothingness and palpitations continue to aggravate.

Before dawn, several generals got the permission and walked into Zhu Gaoxu's bedroom. They reported to Zhu Gaoxu that rumors had already arisen in the army, and rumors were rumored to have encountered a plague in the army!

Zhu Gaoxu struggled for a while and said, "Call the doctor to refute the rumors, telling the soldiers that they are just typhoid fever, which can be cured!"

"It's useless, the soldiers don't believe in the doctor." A general said, "I don't know how it spread. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, in just half a day and a night, the news of the prince falling ill also spread to the army."

Another general asked to stop the march today in order to stop rumors and rectify morale.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked: "Is typhoid fever prevalent in Wu Gao's army?"

Several generals looked at each other, but no one could answer.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Send someone to inquire immediately."

"Get orders."
