Chapter 405 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 16
A month after the New Year, war broke out again in Northern Chen.

Zhou Shengchen led his troops to battle again, and Ling Xi followed him as a military doctor.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already two years later.

This time it is a war with Nan Xiao, and the opponent's main general is the second prince of Nan Xiao, Xiao Wen.

He is a powerful general who is no less powerful than Zhou Shengchen.

Therefore, this battle between Northern Chen and Southern Xiao has been going on for nearly a year, but the winner has not been determined.

In the main tent of the military camp, Ling Xi sat on one side, listening to a group of generals discussing tactics enthusiastically.

As for why she was here, it was because Ling Xi showed Zhou Shengchen the notes she wrote when she was reading some military books. Zhou Shengchen felt that she was quite talented in arranging troops and formations, so he kept teaching her these whenever she was free.

As time went by, she would just listen from the side when they discussed tactics, and occasionally offer some suggestions.

Ling Xi sat quietly aside without saying a word.

"Your Highness, we have been in a stalemate with Nan Xiao for more than half a year. We can't go on like this. Otherwise, not only will the soldiers not be able to hold on, but the people will also not be able to hold on."

"Not only that, Your Highness, there have been continuous heavy rains in Nanxiao and Beichen recently, and the environment is bad. The houses of the people on both sides have collapsed. The situation in Qingyang City, which is not far from us, is even more serious. Serious flooding has occurred. Although we have tried our best to rescue, we must also be on guard against Nanxiao's people sending troops. If we continue like this, we will be too passive."

Hearing these words, Ling Xi felt a little uncomfortable.

Since ancient times, when two sides go to war, the people are the ones who suffer the most.

It is a turbulent time now, and the heavy rain that has lasted for nearly a month has seriously hampered the progress of both parties.

Both Northern Chen and Southern Xiao wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

We also want to help the people in areas that have recently suffered from flooding and other disasters due to heavy rain.

In Ling Xi's opinion, if this battle continues, Bei Chen will undoubtedly win.

But that will take some time, and during this time, the people will suffer even more.

Zhou Shengchen stood at the top, with a map in front of him showing the distribution of cities in Northern Chen and Southern Xiao.

He looked at it for a moment and took a deep breath.

Then he turned around, looked at the generals sitting in the tent, and made a decision: "I intend to negotiate with the Second Prince of Nanxiao. What do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xie Chong said at this time: "Your Highness, I think you have had this idea for a while, right?"

Zhou Shengchen nodded, looked at Xie Chong and smiled: "Military Advisor still understands me."

"Now the people are suffering. If this battle continues, Northern Chen will win, but it is the people who will suffer. In addition, it has been raining heavily for several days. This battle really should not be dragged on any longer."

Xie Chong knew Zhou Shengchen very well and understood his wholehearted concern for the people.

But at the same time, I am also worried:

"I think this method is feasible, but Your Highness, will Nan Xiao agree to peace talks?"

This time, Nan Xiao's side was led by the Second Prince. They didn't know what kind of person the Second Prince was, nor did they understand his character.

Zhou Shengchen was not worried about this: "I have heard of the reputation of the second prince in Nanxiao Imperial City. Although he is a playboy, he is a gifted man of heaven who is both civil and military. He is talented and wise. He should also be concerned about the people. He should agree to the peace talks this time."

Xie Chong had nothing to say.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhou Shengchen made the decision: "Then let's decide it this way. I will write a letter to the Second Prince of Nanxiao, and then I will meet with him in person to discuss the peace talks."

The generals said: "Yes, we will follow your Highness' orders."

The camp was dispersed.

Ling Xi stayed. Now, except when war broke out, she went to the military doctor. Otherwise, she was taught military tactics by Zhou Shengchen.

Noticing Ling Xi in a daze, Zhou Shengchen asked, "Why, are you feeling bored?" Learning the art of war is quite boring.

Ling Xi came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Shengchen, and shook his head: "That's not the case, I'm just a little worried about the people in Qingyang City. There was a flood there, I wonder how the situation is?"

When talking about this matter, Zhou Shengchen also looked worried.

"I have already sent soldiers over for this matter. They will help resettle those people."

Ling Xi was very worried: "Now I just hope the peace talks can go smoothly."

In fact, she was worried about something else.

It is spring now and there is flooding in Qingyang City. I hope an epidemic will not arise.

Zhou Shengchen's letter was sent out at full speed.

Two days later, the reply from the Second Prince of Nanxiao arrived in Zhou Shengchen's hands.

The Second Prince of Nanxiao agreed to the peace talks.

However, Zhou Shengchen has to go there in person to discuss the details.

The letter said that they agreed to meet two days later at the shore where Nanxiao and Beichen meet.

Zhou Shengchen had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and wrote another letter and sent it back to the Second Prince of Nanxiao.

Two days later, Zhou Shengchen took Xie Chong and others to the agreed meeting place.

Ling Xi originally stayed in the military camp, but was upset by a sudden piece of news.

Feng Qiao rushed into her tent, panting heavily, "Ah Xi, it's bad. A soldier from Qingyang City came back and said that there's an epidemic in the city and many people have been infected."

Ling Xi immediately knocked over the medicine bottle: "What did you say?"

What she had just worried about two days ago actually happened.

Whatever you are afraid of will come to you.

She couldn't help but wonder if she was a jinx.

Things in the past weren't so effective.

"Feng Qiao, I will immediately take a few military doctors to Qingyang City first, and you will take the soldiers and some medicinal materials to follow. After I enter Qingyang City and determine what is going on inside, I will send you a message."

Ling Xi warned Feng Qiao, "Remember, before the prince comes back, don't disturb him with this news. Don't let Nan Xiao take this opportunity to give up the idea of ​​peace talks."

If Nan Xiao knew that there was a plague in Qingyang City, he would probably take this opportunity to send troops again, which would be disastrous.

Feng Qiao immediately understood the seriousness of the matter: "Okay, Ah Xi, don't worry, I will calm the troops, but you have to be more careful, the disease is contagious."

Ling Xi nodded to Feng Qiao: "Okay."

Immediately, Ling Xi took most of the military doctors in the barracks and rode to Qingyang City at full speed.

Only two military doctors were left in the barracks in case of emergency.

Qingyang City is not far from Wang Jun’s camp.

It took only one hour to get there by horseback.

Ling Xi and the military doctors entered Qingyang City without hesitation.

Because of the flood, there are still traces of flooding everywhere in Qingyang City.

The mud and dirty water on the ground have not been cleaned up yet, and Qingyang City still looks chaotic.

Some houses in the city were collapsed by the heavy rain and there was no time to rebuild them.

Everything was stopped by the sudden outbreak of the epidemic.
