Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

Zhiyuan ordered everyone to continue to strengthen the city wall, and then rectified the army and let everyone rest in batches for two days.After all, since the opponent is not attacking anymore, it is enough to maintain a normal vigilance.

Of course, the whole Yongnu is also all kinds of mud now, and Zhiyuan had no choice but to transfer some food and grass to some second-floor buildings.Zhiyuan didn't expect that this move would actually save the people on her side.

In the early morning of the third day, Zhiyuan suddenly heard the sound of roaring waves.While she was eating, she suddenly felt a little strange, the voice grew louder and louder as if it came from the sky.

"What's the matter?" Zhi Yuan immediately ran outside, and at this time a messenger had already run over.

"My lord, something is wrong, so Yuan Shao actually dug the embankment and flooded our city of Yongnu with the water from the nearby big river." The messenger's legs were obviously trembling.

Zhiyuan glanced at the city wall, and then at the direction of the city gate. "Order everyone to transfer clean water, food and grass to the roof, and transfer some wood to the roof."

"Finally, let the elderly and children go to the roof first, and bring some warm clothes, hurry up!"

Zhiyuan ran directly to the city gate, the messenger shuddered, and then shouted without hesitation.Others must know about these things, and the sooner the better.

Before Zhiyuan reached the city gate, she heard the muffled sound of water hitting the city wall.Moreover, water gushed in immediately at the city gate, and the city gate was not sealed, so naturally there were many gaps for water to flow in.

Seeing the situation, Zhiyuan knew that there was no way to stop it.The city gates on all sides may have been flooded, and it is lucky that the city walls have not been washed away. "Everyone dodge, go as high as possible!"

"Escort the civilians up first, time is running out!" While Zhi Yuan was speaking, the flood had already reached her ankles.A burst of icy and turbid sewage made the kite feel like a mudslide.

Zhiyuan walked up to the top of the city wall in two or three steps, when Zhang Xiu had just come down from above.He said to the kite with some fear: "I was scared to death just now, a flood of five or six meters can hit the top of this city wall."

"I thought the city wall would be washed down, but I persisted." Zhang Xiu looked at the flood that had poured into Yongnu, and said again: "What should we do now?"

Zhiyuan sighed: "I didn't expect that Yuan Shao would actually dig up the riverbed. Because of the protection of the city gate, most of them can be saved. But in this way, food, grass and drinking water will definitely become a big problem."

Fortunately for Yongnu, the gate was reinforced, but the water gushing out was completely uncontrollable.In the afternoon, when a group of people moved all the food and grass to the roof, the water in the city was already as high as one person.

Zhi Yuan ordered people to sit on a simple raft, and she went to check the situation one by one.A hundred or so people may die accidentally, but the loss of materials will be huge.Many arrows, shield weapons, are basically underwater.

Then a lot of food and grass were brought up, and Zhi Yuan estimated that it would be practical for at least half a month.But the water resources are miserable... Half of them use well water to get water. The flood came suddenly, so basically the current domestic water is not enough for even two days.

Zhiyuan frowned: "Use some containers first to collect Canxue. Although there are not many...but it can be used anyway. If it is really impossible...kill the horse!"

Zhiyuan still has at least five or six thousand horses here, and these horses have also been taken to the city wall for protection.But now there is not enough food and grass for people, let alone for horses.After Zhiyuan thought briefly, she could only make such a cruel decision.

After all, people are more important than horses...

"Everyone is not allowed to drink the muddy sewage on the ground, and everyone must boil it! If you kill a horse, the blood doesn't need to be boiled."

"Everyone persist for a few days, I believe that even if Yuan Shao digs up the embankment, the flood will not last too long." Zhiyuan said to everyone.

Zhi Yuan believed that the flood would not last long, but Zhi Yuan knew in her heart... When the flood receded, Yuan Shao's entire army would press on and fight herself to the death.

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?" Zhang Xiu was naturally a little anxious.

Zhiyuan sighed: "Before they are besieged, they are guaranteed to arrive within three months, and there is still more than half a month left. They came back from Sanhan and brought a large number of slaves with them, so I'm afraid it won't be so." Hurry up."

"But since Guo Jia promised us three months, we will definitely come within three months. The trouble will be after the water recedes. I don't know how long this city wall can last." Zhiyuan looked at the city wall, although it is still strong now , but once the water recedes, it may collapse.

Zhiyuan can only go out again at night, and now many people live on the roof, and the temperature is still very low at night.Zhiyuan could only get some quilts one by one, and simply set up some bonfires.

The flood was relatively violent at the beginning, and stopped when it rose to less than two meters.It can be regarded as good luck, if the height is a little higher... such a large amount of water will not cover most houses.

The water outside the city also receded quickly. After all, there was no snow all winter, only a little bit of heavy snowfall now, and the land absorbed water very much.And because of the breach, the river changed its course for a short distance, so the river water coming out of this breach was not as strong as the previous two days.

Yuan Shao and the others were not far away, looking at Yong Nu who was trapped in the chaos.Now he is very happy: "I guess we can go in and collect the corpses when the flood subsides. In such a big flood, the other party will probably drown a lot of people."

The trial judge sighed at the side: "This will harm the harmony of nature, and it is better for the lord to do less."

"There are no immortals in war, so don't bother others. Let's take a good rest for a few days, and wait until the flood recedes...and go to Yongnu to have a look." Yuan Shao didn't care.

I have to rest for a few days, Yuan Shao's side is not doing well now, the morale of the soldiers is also very low, and more and more people are suffering from colds.Although the weather is good these days, many people's clothes are soaked.

Some kind of plague really happened to 6 to [-] people, and Yuan Shao couldn't run away by himself.

On the fourth day, the water has gradually receded.But Zhiyuan's situation here has become more and more serious. First of all, they have completely drank all the water, so they have no choice but to kill some horses, and some cattle and sheep that were originally Yongnu's cattle and sheep for blood.

This thing was very fishy, ​​but Zhiyuan had brought a water bag with her, so she didn't drink blood for the time being.The only advantage for the others is that after the blood of these animals is drunk, their meat can be eaten directly.

However, since there is not much wood, many people can only eat raw.In addition, some people have already suffered from diseases such as dysentery because they were too thirsty to drink sewage.There are already 400 people who have a cold and fever.

Zhiyuan has a big head, so he can only manage these people in a centralized manner.After Zhiyuan had been busy for a day, she suddenly felt a little pain in her throat.

"It's over..." Zhiyuan swallowed, then leaned against the city wall, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chapter 330 Six: Cold

Because Zhiyuan was in a hurry when going up the city wall, she didn't bring many things with her.He only brought his belongings with him, as well as his weapon, the Zhanma Dao.And the cinnabar and brush used to write the talisman were all flooded and I didn't know where they were.

By the time Zhiyuan felt that her body could no longer bear it, there was no way to heal her.There is no medical treatment for a cold. In this era, there is only one way to fight it with ginger soup.

Zhiyuan rubbed her head with her hand, feeling dizzy already.She came outside and found Liu Xiu first.Liu Xiu saw something wrong with Zhi Yuan's expression, he was about to come over to ask, but was stopped by Zhi Yuan.

"Stay away from me, I've caught a cold. Immediately order someone to bring me some ginger water, the hotter the better..." Zhi Yuan said to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was also a little nervous. If the kite couldn't bear it anymore, it would be a big blow to the morale of the entire Yongnu.So he immediately took a boat to find water. Now the water level dropped rapidly, but it was at least half a meter deep.

Now Yongnu doesn't have much clean water anymore, most of the water has been used.Now everyone is drinking blood, and even many people who don't obey orders have already drank sewage again, and they are exhausted.

Zhang Xiu searched around before finding a small jar of water.These waters are one of his guards, the accumulated snow water.Hearing that Zhiyuan was not in good health, she immediately took out the water.

After Zhang Xiu came back, Zhiyuan made some ginger and started to boil it, then drank it directly at the temperature of the hot water.Use the water temperature to make yourself sweat, so your body temperature will drop.

After drinking half of the water, the kite really sweated.As soon as the sweat came out, her body immediately became much lighter, but Zhiyuan knew that this was only temporary.After the sweat subsides, it is estimated that there will be fever again. There is no way to do this.

But now there is no time to rest. In order to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking the city after the water recedes, Zhiyuan can only immediately mobilize a few manpower to demolish some houses and fix the wood and earth with sacks to form a simple wall to block the city. door.

When the flood came, because there was a giant tree stuck at the city gate, it was not washed away by the flood.But it is obvious that several openings have been cracked, and Zhi Yuan can only block the city gate with something at that time, otherwise it will definitely be breached.

Less than half an hour later, a feeling of dizziness and weakness reappeared on Zhi Yuan's body.She gritted her teeth and arranged the matter to the end, then went back and fell down on a makeshift camp bed, panting.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly brought a doctor over, the doctor wanted to treat Zhi Yuan, Zhi Yuan shook her head. "No, I'm quite aware of my body. There's no medicine at all right now, I'm just freezing..."

"Send all the people with fever together by boat to avoid mutual infection. Send them some meat every day. Whether they can carry it or not is up to fate."

"Fortunately, it's just a common cold. If it's a fluke... I'm afraid more people will die. I checked the statistics just now, and there are already more than 1000 people? How much combat power do we have now? Count it immediately."

Zhang Xiu nodded and went straight down.Zhiyuan, on the other hand, reheated the ginger water that she hadn't drank in the morning and drank it.But this time I didn't sweat, I just felt a little better in my stomach.

"There should be no more water. I can still drink a couple of sips of ginger water, although it's useless. What should I do..." Zhi Yuan supported her head with her hands, and lay down on the bed.

As for sleeping?Don't even think about it, there is no way to fall asleep when you have a fever.His body was freezing cold, and he had a headache, a stuffy nose and a sore throat, how could Zhiyuan be able to sleep.

About an hour later, when Zhi Yuan was a little dazed, Zhang Xiu walked in again.Zhang Xiu saw that Zhi Yuan's face was flushed, so she knew that she must have a very uncomfortable fever, but now there was no good way to cool down.

Zhang Xiu thought that Zhiyuan had fallen asleep, and was about to leave... Zhiyuan coughed with her mouth open, and then asked hoarsely, "Have you got the statistics?"

Zhang Xiu nodded: "There are about 350 or four people who are sick, and we can still invest in combat power, and there are more than 800 people. The exact number is not too easy to count."

"There are more than 5000 wounded and sick. Only a few of these people can fight with weapons, and the rest must recuperate. And there are at least 5 Yuan Shaojun outside the city."

When Zhang Xiu said that, Zhiyuan calmed down a bit, now that the city gate is useless, and the number of opponents is three times that of her own, Zhiyuan also knew in her heart that she might not be able to hold it.

"When the water recedes, block the city gate first. Hold on for a few days, and if the reinforcements haven't arrived, lead the active people to retreat. Retreat to Beiping to the right..."

"Yuan Shao's troops are at their limit now. Even if they capture Yongnu, they won't have much strength to advance eastward. When the Liaodong reinforcements arrive, they can regain this place again."

"However, I estimate that by that time, the entire population of Yuyang County will no longer exist. Whether it is us or Yuan Shao, the war in the past few months will definitely hurt our vitality."

"But the other party has the support of the gentry, and it is estimated that it will not take long to attract more than [-] people. The loss on our side is really not small. At least the entire Liaodong, except for the Liaodong Army after this time, originally Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu The soldiers are basically dead."

"So even if we win Bohai County, we can only conduct trade between the two places. But if we lose Bohai County, we will definitely lose Liaodong completely. This is why we have to fight."

Although Zhiyuan was dizzy, her thoughts were still clear.Zhang Xiu kept nodding at the side, saying that he admired this woman very much, after all, she was a bit better than his wife in terms of the overall situation.

Moreover, with such a large territory in her 20s, she dared to fight Yuan Shao, who is the fourth generation and third father, what a hero among women.As for Zhiyuan and Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu didn't feel that it was because of each other.

After all, even if that girl Jiang Qingqing married him, besides in bed, when would the other party listen to him.This kind of enterprising girl is very independent.

Of course Zhang Xiu couldn't let Zhiyuan die here, he nodded in agreement.Then he said to Zhi Yuan, "Miss Tang, the main problem now is your illness. If you completely fell ill, the morale of the team would definitely drop."

Zhiyuan sighed at Zhang Xiu: "Is there no water?"

Zhang Xiu nodded.

Zhiyuan smiled wryly, and then said to Zhang Xiu: "Then prepare some horse blood for me, other people who have a fever must also drink more. Originally, they should drink water, but now they can only drink blood."

"Water can take away part of the heat in the body, otherwise, if the fever lasts for too long, it will cause irreversible damage to the body."

Zhang Xiu didn't know about this, but he would definitely follow the order.Soon Zhang Xiu had someone bring in a basin, which was filled with steaming fresh horse blood just released.

Zhiyuan swallowed, she really felt like throwing up.

ps: horse blood contains less salt, so it will not happen that the more you drink, the more thirsty you will become.

Chapter 330 Seven: The Flood Retreats

Back then, the taste of blood was really bad, and it was easy to get some strange diseases.It's a pity that there is nothing to do now, Zhi Yuan said to Zhang Xiu: "You go out, I'm fine."

Zhang Xiu nodded: "Okay, Miss Tang, call me if you have anything."

After Zhang Xiu left, Zhiyuan looked at the viscous liquid.To be honest, it's really disgusting... But Zhiyuan knows in her heart that when she has a fever, she must drink water, otherwise her body will be more exhausted.

Pinching his nose, the kite drank a lot of the blood, then the kite retched twice, and forcibly swallowed the blood in his mouth again.Then Zhiyuan cried...

···········

"What the hell is this world? Why did I travel to such a disgusting place!"

"I really want to go home...I really want to go home."

"I don't even have anyone here to talk to..."

"I'm very...lonely." Zhiyuan didn't cry out, but the tears couldn't stop falling on the bed.

Zhiyuan cried for about a quarter of an hour, then wiped away her tears and fell down on the bed and passed out.

About two hours later, Zhiyuan woke up.The fever has not subsided, and my back has started to ache.Zhiyuan reckoned that this was the peak of the virus outbreak, so she suppressed the discomfort and drank all the remaining blood.

With so much liquid in her stomach, Zhiyuan couldn't help but always feel like vomiting.She hugged the quilt and didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly burst out laughing after a while.

"After drinking so much blood, I'm going to go to the bathroom tomorrow morning. It's probably all red and black." Zhiyuan laughed for a while, and then adjusted her depressed state of mind.

When you are sick, your mentality is very important. Even if you are in a very bad mood, you must adjust to a happy and optimistic direction.So Zhiyuan could only think of some interesting things to calm down her mood quickly.

Speaking of which, at the moment just now, a thought of giving up appeared in Zhiyuan's heart.The life and death of people in this world is her business. If she hadn't had nothing to do, how could she be so busy.

It's better to leave quietly and find a place to live in seclusion.Even if you open up the wisdom of the people, so what, if you open up the wisdom of the people, you will also open up the ambitions of more people.In the end, when you die, it's not a matter of human death and political elimination, maybe you have to make a big liquidation.

But Zhiyuan has a firm belief after all, and also has a sense of responsibility.Perhaps what made Zhiyuan really persevere was that sense of responsibility.I already have such a large territory, if I really leave, those people will fall apart and I don't know how many people will die.

So I gritted my teeth and couldn't leave, nor could I die here...

Zhiyuan crawled for two full days, and spent the rest of the time on the bed except for eating and drinking blood.And Zhiyuan used her Taoism power to see if she could get rid of her disease.

On the third day, Zhiyuan with a pale face came out of the tent.Although I still feel uncomfortable in my head, at least I don't have a high fever.The temperature has dropped, and the throat is not too sore.

The resistance in her body is not bad, Zhiyuan comforted herself a bit.Then she looked at the entire Yongnu City, and found that the water level was only about one foot.

"The amount of water is not enough, and we are going to start sealing the city gate. Once there is not much water outside, that is when Yuan Shao comes back." Zhi Yuan ordered to his subordinates.

Zhi Yuan still had a cold, so Zhang Xiu led people to build up the surrounding city gates with bricks and rubble.Later, some destroyed houses were used to pile up all the construction waste at the gate of the city.

When all this was done, the sun also came out... Zhiyuan saw a small boat not far away. Although the water was not deep...but the other party obviously didn't want to get in the water.

The man looked carefully at the entrance of the city, and found that there were still many soldiers on it.Then he came to a stone's throw away and shouted at the city wall: "I'm here to persuade you to surrender..."

"Our lord has a message for you. You probably didn't survive much under the flood. Don't make unnecessary resistance!"

"Our lord, the Heavenly Soldiers, have captured Yuyang and Lu County, and other places are already in danger. Princess Xiangping, don't be obsessed with your obsession, or you will be destroyed!"

After saying this, he found that there was not much reaction on the city wall.So I had no choice but to row the boat to other city walls and go to persuade them to surrender... Speaking of which, even if some soldiers saw it, no one wanted to talk to such a person.

Yuan Shao did this just to lower Zhiyuan's morale, but to be honest...not long after arriving in Yongnu City, Zhiyuan had already told all the soldiers about her plan.

If Yuyang and Lu County are lost, they will be lost, and it will not have much impact on the battle.Instead, Zhiyuan kept telling them that reinforcements would arrive soon, so these people were quite confident.

It's all water and the roads are muddy.This kind of disaster also restricted Yuan Shao's visits. To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao's people did not know the situation in other places.

Even if those two cities did fall, it must have happened before that.And because of the traffic jam, even if the Liaodong reinforcements arrived nearby, Yuan Shao would not know.

Zhiyuan reckons that reinforcements will definitely arrive within a week.But it should be delayed... Zhiyuan looked at the person who persuaded him to surrender, then shook his head.

"Drive him away, Yuan Shao sent him here, just to let him see what's going on with us now. He's not a literati even to persuade him to surrender, just drive him away..."

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and then asked: "Then why not kill him, I can shoot him at this distance."

Zhiyuan shook her head: "Let Yuan Shao think that we don't have many people here anymore, most of them are dead. Maybe when the time comes, we can make the other party suffer a lot."
