Chapter 1146: Giving Laxatives

To Liu Bei's surprise, Jiang Siming's army did not attack the city, but retreated to camp thirty miles away..

Not only did they not attack the city today, but there was no movement from Jiang Siming's army on the second and third days..

Liu Bei was also afraid that Jiang Siming would use the same trick he used against Yuan Shu to dig tunnels, so he hurriedly sent people out of the city every day to scan all the ground that was easy to dig to prevent anyone from digging tunnels at any time..

But after searching inside and outside the city, no trace of tunnel digging was found..

Liu Bei was very confused as to what Jiang Siming's plans were and why he had been here for several days without any action.？

Isn't he wasting military rations?？

Liu Bei thought for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply stayed in Pengcheng and didn't come out..

In this way, time passed day by day, and the guards in the city gradually relaxed..

I thought Jiang Siming’s army had nothing to do, so I could only stare..

In Jiang Siming's Chinese army camp, Jiang Siming was leaning on the Taishi chair, writing and drawing on the table..

If someone came over to look at it, they would definitely think they were reading a heavenly book..

In fact, Jiang Siming didn't worry about attacking the city. He was drawing architectural plans. Jiang Siming drew all the buildings that might be needed in the future while he had nothing to do in the Three Kingdoms..

By the way, I also drew the palace that will be built to unify the world in the future, and it will be built one to one according to the Forbidden City, hehe.

The Forbidden City is a building from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it doesn’t exist now, so Jiang Siming plans to build it and become emperor in it in the future..

Dian Wei waited loyally outside the tent.

It was already a scorching summer in the Three Kingdoms. Dian Wei was shirtless and only wore a light armor. Even though it was very hot, he still endured the task of escorting Jiang Siming well..

“Dian Wei, come in and have a drink of iced plum soup..”

Jiang Siming also felt sorry for his beloved general. He got a lot of stored ice cubes from the Qiankun Ring, and other generals also received a lot..

“Lord, it's okay, I can hold on." Dian Wei smiled, with only his white teeth standing out under his dark skin..

Jiang Siming looked amused, and simply raised his hand. A breeze blew over Dian Wei, making him shiver with comfort..

“"Hey, it's strange, where does the cool breeze come from? It's so damn comfortable." Dian Wei whispered to himself, standing up straighter now..

Not long after, Guo Jia came over, accompanied by Xun Yu and Xu Shu..

“My lord, Commander Guo, Commander Xun and Chief Xu are here..”

Although Xu Shu is only the chief military officer for the time being, he also holds the position of military advisor. He will be promoted sooner or later..

It's just that Xu Shu hasn't made much contribution yet. If he is promoted at will, other counselors will be unwilling to do so..

“Come in." Jiang Siming said without raising his head..

The three of them walked into the army. Guo Jia was the first to smile and bow his hands to Jiang Siming: "Congratulations, lord! Congratulations, lord!".”

“What joy can there be in congratulating the truth? What joy can there be in congratulating? If you don't tell me, you won't be able to eat today." Jiang Siming threatened..

Guo Jia was not afraid at all. He knew that his lord was joking with him..

After being in contact for a long time, Guo Jiaxunyu and the others became more and more grateful that they could meet such a wise master..

Not only does he give them the greatest support and trust in their work and let them do whatever they want, he also cares about their personal life and body..

The masters and ministers often eat together and hunt together, just like brothers.

They can guarantee that this feeling will never be seen in other princes..

Working under Jiang Siming gave them a sense of family and a sense of belonging that never thought of looking elsewhere..

Even if Jiang Siming dismisses them from their posts and demotes them to common people, they are still willing to stay in Jiang Siming's territory and live happily for the rest of their lives..

“My lord, Fengxiao said that my lord is happy, of course he is, if you don’t believe me, just ask Yuan Zhi and Wen Ruo.” Guo Jia said with a smile..

Xu Shu and Xun Yu were speechless towards him, but at the same time they understood in their hearts that Guo Jia wanted to give them more opportunities..

“Yuan Zhi, please tell me." Xun Yu pushed the ball to Xu Shu again..

Xu Shu had no choice but to stand up and say to Jiang Siming: "Lord, we have finally waited for the hot weather in the past few days. The sun is burning inside and outside Xuzhou City, people and horses are exhausted, and security is loose. It is the best time to implement our plan.！”

“Is your medicine ready? "Jiang Siming asked.

Xun Yu nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I have mobilized all the laxatives in Chang'an and Hanzhong to ensure that they are thrown into the river and flow into the city. It is the time when the people and livestock in the city are thirsty and need water the most. If you put it in at this time, it will not wash away as soon as there is no rain. medicine The second is that when they drink it most frequently, even if the people are infected, they will only suffer from diarrhea and weakness a few times. But for Liu Bei's army, it is the time when they are at their weakest. When they attack the city at that time, we can ensure that our army will not waste any time. How much effort does it take to capture the city?.”

It turns out that there hasn't been any movement in the past few days. It's because they are waiting for the rain to stop and the weather to be at its hottest..

“Then go ahead and do it, if you still can’t take Pengcheng within ten days, the three of you won’t be able to eat hot pot and drink wine again this year.” Jiang Siming warned..

The three of them all smiled sheepishly when they heard this. Guo Jia loved drinking, and Xu Shu and Xun Yu loved hot pot. It would be impossible for them to have no wine or hot pot this year..

Although it is not a big punishment, the three military advisors do not want to let their lord down..

So I immediately went down to make arrangements..

Soon, all the laxatives collected were dumped into the underground rivers of Xuzhou. The amount of these medicines was enough to cause diarrhea to at least one-third of the people in the city..

Not long after the laxatives were poured out, Pengcheng reached its hottest time again, and everyone had to drink nearly a bucket of water every day..

The frequency of fetching water is very high, especially for Pengcheng soldiers who wear armor every day..

The armor is thick and heavy, and you have to defend the city in the sun, and you sweat every day..

Liu Bei had no choice. He didn't know when Jiang Siming would suddenly attack the city. He could only make the soldiers wear clothes every day. In order to cool them down, he could only give them more water..

Soon, Liu Bei noticed something was wrong, and many people in the army began to have stomach upsets..

At first, he just thought it was because everyone drank too much cold water, but soon, more and more people had stomach upsets, and the toilets were full every day..

Many soldiers couldn't wait in line, so they just found a place in the city to have a good time..

After the diarrhea, everyone was exhausted. Just kidding, you still have diarrhea on such a hot day. Isn’t this fatal?.

Liu Bei rushed around anxiously and asked the doctor to diagnose and treat him, but the doctor's diagnosis and treatment efforts could not keep up with the speed of the disease..

In addition, there was too much stool to be discharged out of the city, and the excretion system in ancient times was very poor. Countless stools rotted crazily under the scorching sun..

It also became a paradise for all kinds of maggots and flies, and gradually I even started to get malaria..

This made matters worse. Liu Bei could only quickly ask everyone to clean up the feces in the city and bury it underground..

Three days have passed, and the air in Pengcheng has a strange smell..

The people in the city were complaining endlessly, and the soldiers in Pengcheng had no fighting spirit. They were all limp and had no intention of fighting..
