Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1209 Famine and Natural Disaster 368

"It would be a pity to kill them. It is better to keep them to do some vigorous work. Feed them with medicine like muscle softening powder. Even if they lose the power to resist, they can still do some physical work, which can reduce the burden on the soldiers. As for the food problem, feed them less at each meal, just half full. Keeping them will be useful in the future. We need to manage them strictly, and it is best to brainwash them ideologically."

Zhou Ting pondered for a while, then slowly said, "It's not impossible to spare their lives. The root problem of our Northwest Army is food. It's already difficult for the Central Plains to transport food here, and the food in the Northwest is not enough to support the 200,000-strong Northwest Army for two years."

"The people's annual taxes can only feed the 200,000-man army half full. Food and grass are in short supply. What I am worried about now is that food may not be delivered to the northwest. There are many kings in the Central Plains, and their control over the people in the territories they occupy must have been strengthened. Their armies need food and military pay. For the sake of their respective camps, they will not let food flow out."

Faced with this problem, Mingyi couldn't think of a better solution.

"In this case, why not attack the Western Regions? The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and are rich in fruits and grains." Develop the Western Regions into the logistics granary of the Northwest Army.

"We'll have to wait and see." When she said that, he was deeply moved; for now he had to see how the situation in the Central Plains turned out before making a decision. If possible, he also wanted to attack the Western Regions.

The fruits and vegetables of the Western Regions are delicious, and selling them to the princes of the Central Plains will definitely make a lot of money; the military pay and military equipment will be provided.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Zhou Ting clenched his hands, trying to suppress this crazy urge.

No, we have to take it step by step.

I kept giving myself hints and it took me a while to suppress the devilish impulse.

"Okay, I'll discuss this with the teacher when I get back, and then we'll see what's happening in the Central Plains." Mingyi stopped talking about this question and asked, "I wonder how many poisonous insects the other teams have gotten."

Zhou Ting had an idea in his mind, and raised his lips to her, "As long as they can collect, they will collect as much as possible."

Ming Yi: "I understand. I hope one or two Gu Masters can survive and help me cultivate Gu worms. After thorough research, I will have a way to deal with Gu worms in the future."

Instead of being too passive as before and relying on human lives to build victory.

"Will it?" He wasn't sure.

The anger floating around the Ningguo garrison was so great that it was a blessing for someone to survive.

Mingyi wasn't sure either. The chances of such a thing happening were extremely small, but she was still hoping for a lucky break (#^.^#).

After resting in the tent for half an hour, they walked out of the tent again; they saw that the soldiers had retreated a little bit, holding spears, knives, swords and various weapons in their hands. They belonged to different camps and used different weapons.

The fire outside the Ningguo garrison had been extinguished, and poisonous smoke was lingering, which was more and thicker than the poisonous gas in the fire; the soldiers had to retreat a little. If they encountered a reverse wind, they would also smell some poisonous gas, and at this time they could only take detoxification powder.

Fortunately, although the amount of detoxification powder distributed was not much, one packet was enough for three people.

Zhou Ting called a centurion nearby and asked, "How long has the fire been out?"

"I am here to see you, Commander." The captain knelt on one knee to salute, and then replied in an orderly manner, "Commander, the fire has been extinguished for more than a quarter of an hour."

"Order people to bring sand and stones to pave the ground and put out the poisonous gas as soon as possible."

"Here."

The centurion stood up and ran away quickly. After a moment, the thousand-man army and nearby generals all started moving. They ordered their soldiers to dig sand and stones and spread them inside inch by inch. The places where they were spread would stir up bursts of strong poisonous smoke. Fortunately, the soldiers who went to spread the ground had taken detoxification powder, and the effect of the medicine was still there, so they would not be poisoned again in a short time.

All the burned areas were covered with a thick layer of sand and gravel. Sporadic poisonous smoke was emitted from the ground, but it was pressed tightly in the process of continuous sand and gravel removal.

Two hours later.

The poisonous smoke was completely suppressed and no longer appeared. Mingyi took advantage of Zhou Ting's inattention and walked onto the newly paved gravel ground; there was no smell of poisonous gas or smoke, only a faint smell of burning, so it was safe.

Zhou Ting had only been discussing matters with the thousand households for a while when he turned around and found Ming Yi no longer. He looked around and finally found her figure in a sandy area. However, the further she walked in, the more her face changed.

"." He opened his mouth to call for someone, but when the words came to his lips he realized it was the word 'Yi Yi'. He quickly swallowed the words. He felt choked even though he hadn't eaten anything.

"Go and bring Master Cheng here."

When Zhou Ting gave an order, the thousand households around him looked in the direction he was looking, and their expressions also changed several times.

"Here."

"Commander, I will go. I have taken the detoxification powder." A captain with a slender figure, who was slightly thin among the many big men, stood up.

"Okay, you go." Zhou Ting nodded.

This captain ran very fast, as if he had long legs. Zhou Ting was very satisfied with his speed. "Whose captain is he?"

"Reporting to the commander, his surname is Fu and his name is Chen. He is a captain under the command of General Zhongwu."

"Good, you run fast." Zhou Ting's praise made the thousand households nearby look envious.

  None of them had the chance to be praised by a military commander, but Fu Chen got it. Then again, the commander might have praised him because of Mr. Cheng, as he couldn't resist the man's character and cleverness!

Who among these thousand households has not taken the detoxification powder? Who is willing to take the initiative to come forward and bring people back?

None of them, only Fu Chen.

He was willing to go and stood up at the first opportunity without hesitation.

To say that he is innocent is impossible; but to say that he is cunning is not entirely true.

Captain Fu Chen ran behind Cheng Mingyi and saw that she was about to go in, so he hurriedly spoke up to interrupt her.

"Master Cheng! You can't go any further. The commander asks you to go back. The situation inside is uncertain. You can't go any further."

Mingyi raised her feet, not knowing whether to go or not; she turned around and spread her hands to show that she understood, "I'll be right back."

"Please."

Fu Chen hurriedly made way, his expression not relaxed; while he looked frequently into the camp, he also did not forget to lower his head to see the changes on the ground.

Seeing this, Mingyi could only quicken her pace and walk back to her original position, standing two steps away from Zhou Ting; Zhou Ting was a few steps away from her because he was talking to the thousand households. Otherwise, she would not have found a chance to leave.

Zhou Ting strode forward, his eyes full of nervousness, "Why did you go in without telling me?"

"Commander, I am here to investigate the poisonous smoke. I developed the antidote powder and the hundred-poison powder. I need accurate answers on how effective the medicine is, how long it will last, and how long the effect of the antidote powder can be maintained. Among all the people present, I am the most suitable person. Please forgive me, Commander."

In front of everyone, Cheng Mingyi bowed and replied.

Zhou Ting's eyes flickered slightly, and he knew why she behaved like that. The anger in his heart disappeared, and he just planned to go back and settle the score with her.

  You should be punished for acting without permission in the enemy camp!
