Chapter 436 Poison Miasma
Chapter 436 Poison Miasma
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in the high priest's eyes. The move of the Da Sheng Emperor this time was definitely not as simple as a simple march and war. Thinking of the time when Shen Chenli led the Da Sheng army all the way forward and directly destroyed the Bei Di.
Now he has chosen to lead the army to the border over mountains and rivers. I'm afraid he doesn't just want to fight with them, he wants to destroy them!
but……
The high priest sneered. So what even if they did have a powerful poison master?
Everyone in Nanliang knows how to use poison and control poisonous insects, but even the ancestors of Dasheng failed to destroy them, didn’t they?
How could they be afraid of a young boy?
Thinking of this, the high priest came up with an idea, and then called someone over and repeated the instructions in his ear.
At the same time, he ordered the generals of Southern Liang to lead their troops to the border.
On Yu Tingwan's side, after climbing over another mountain, he finally saw an open area.
"After we climb over another mountain, we will reach another open area. That is the border with Nanliang. However, as we go further, there will be more and more poisonous miasma, snakes, insects, rats and ants."
General Li Sheng of Hongwu, who had been here before, looked at the mountains in front of him through a telescope with his eyes shining brightly and his brows slightly furrowed.
It was because he had been here before that he particularly disliked it. He didn't know what those people from Nanliang were thinking to actually like these things!
Yu Tingwan felt the same way. The closer she got to Nanliang, the more she could feel the humidity in the air, as well as the increasing number of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
However, she had also prepared a large number of antidotes and anthelmintics and distributed them to the soldiers walking on the outermost perimeter.
As for the other soldiers, after all, there were so many of them that even if several military doctors worked together, they would not be able to prepare medicine for so many people at once, so Yu Tingwan asked people to look for herbs in the mountains and forests that could prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants and let the soldiers identify them themselves.
In this way, they can find herbs to prevent themselves.
But these are just simple preventions. Once the number of snakes, insects, rats and ants really increases, simple herbal medicine will be of no use.
"Master Imperial Master, if we really enter a poisonous miasma area, these simple herbs will probably not be very effective. What should we do then?"
In the past, they relied entirely on the willpower of their soldiers to hold on, but now that there may be a better way, they naturally don't want their soldiers to hold on any longer.
Yu Tingwan naturally wanted the soldiers to be free from being disturbed, but was there a better way...
Seeing that the Imperial Master was also lost in thought, General Hongwu did not know what to say, and the army continued to advance, preparing to set up camp and rest after going down the mountain.
As they were getting closer to the border, they also had to ensure that their soldiers maintained their physical strength.
Everyone set up camp peacefully. Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli stood side by side not far away, looking at the land in front of them and the mountain ahead.
After crossing the mountain is the territory of Nanliang. Starting from this mountain, the poisonous miasma becomes more and more serious. Looking at the gray mist floating in the forest, both of them frowned.
"Is there any way to deal with the miasma ahead?"
Shen Chenli once fought a battle with Southern Liang when he was young, and that battle was also a narrow victory.
It’s not that he is not good at leading troops in battle, but that these poisonous miasma are hard for them to defend against, not to mention the various poisons in the hands of these Nanliang people.
But now that he came here again, he hoped that they would not be helpless and could only watch the soldiers hold on.
Hearing his questioning voice, Yu Tingwan looked into the distance with her eyes slightly narrowed.
"It's not that there is no solution. These miasmas have their counteracting substances, namely coix seed and a kind of leek leaf rue."
"Job's tears? What is leek and rue?"
Shen Chenli frowned, his face full of confusion.
"Isn't Job's tears edible? How can it help with miasma?"
Not to mention that grass, he really had never heard of it.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Yu Tingwan patiently explained to him.
"Job's tears can relieve soldiers from malaria caused by unfamiliar climate and water, while leek leaves and rue can relieve infections caused by malaria by burning them and inhaling their smoke."
"There is also another herb that can be applied between the nose to prevent miasma from entering the body."
After listening to what Yu Tingwan said, Shen Chenli's eyes lit up slightly. If that was the case, they wouldn't have to worry about the miasma.
"Let's start preparing now without further delay. As for the barley..."
Knowing what Shen Chenli was hesitating about, Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows and smiled at him.
"I have it in my space!"
This made Shen Chenli feel slightly relieved.
After all, it is still winter. Even though the climate here is warm, there is still no such thing as coix seed.
Now it’s good that Yu Tingwan has it in his space.
Then the two of them ordered a team of soldiers to start searching for these herbs in the mountains and forests.
Likewise, there are not only herbs needed to treat miasma, but also herbs to repel insects.
Finally, Yu Tingwan and Lu Cheng also led the disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley into the forest.
Even Yu Tingwan couldn't help but sigh. It might be because the climate and environment had not yet been polluted. She saw many plants and herbs that had become extinct in later generations, and many snakes, insects, rats and ants were also different from those in later generations.
Fortunately, even if they are different, we are still afraid of the things we should be afraid of!
For example, snakes are afraid of realgar wine!
After a night of rest, the army found a group of soldiers with dark circles under their eyes walking towards them early the next morning. They didn't look like a patrol team, did they?
After all, their patrol team had a handover, but they looked like they hadn't slept all night.
"Brothers, are you thieves in the middle of the night?"
The soldiers who had followed Yu Tingwan and the others across the hill rolled their eyes at him.
"What do you know? We are doing this for everyone! Humph, if you don't study hard, you won't even have the chance to go out with the Imperial Master!"
The soldiers who were rolled their eyes looked confused. What did that mean? Where did they follow the Imperial Master?
As the man finished speaking, Yu Tingwan and others also came back from outside, but she was talking to Lu Cheng and others while walking, and she was holding something in her hands.
While everyone was still confused, they saw the emperor had already walked over, and then a group of soldiers appeared behind them and came back pushing boxes.
Not to mention them, even General Hongwu and his men felt confused and at a loss.
What is all this?
However, Yu Tingwan glanced at them and then whispered a few words to An San beside him.
Then they heard the right-hand man beside the Grand Master run to an open area, using his inner strength to shout loudly:
"gather!"
Then came the sound of a horn. The soldiers who heard it reacted quickly and gathered together quickly. All the soldiers focused their eyes on the front, looking at them with high spirits.
However, Yu Tingwan and the others slowly walked to the front and spoke slowly:
