Guo Jia noticed an obvious abnormality from the expression of Dian Wei in front of him, and he forced a laugh: "It's okay, let's talk, let me listen." ”

When the word "plague" came out of Dian Wei's mouth, Guo Jia's beating heart finally sank to the bottom.

Obviously, he has also heard of the name of the epidemic, once this thing is infected, whether it can be good depends on the will of heaven, among a thousand patients, if there is one who can live, that is, God opens his eyes, and the gods bless.

In historical records, the number of people infected and killed due to epidemic outbreaks in all dynasties and generations is in the tens of thousands, and most even reach nearly one million. Truth be told, the ancients had a limited understanding of diseases, so they often couldn't distinguish the specific types of plagues. According to the interpretation of the ancients, the so-called epidemic refers to "all the people are sick", which means that all diseases that can be transmitted are commonly called "epidemics". As for "plague", it refers to a virulent infectious disease, which can infect livestock and humans. Based on this, infectious diseases and epidemics were commonly referred to as "plagues" in ancient China. According to the documents left by the ancients for thousands of years, there are many kinds of plagues, such as smallpox, plague, diphtheria, scarlet fever, cholera, typhus, typhoid, lung disease, leprosy, malaria, schistosomiasis, etc. In modern times, most of them are small things, but in ancient times, it was a terminal illness.

A few days ago, many of the ironclad guards under Guo Jia's command had an abnormality, with heat all over their bodies, vomiting and diarrhea, shouting headaches and fatigue, and they couldn't get on their horses. But whether it was Guo Jia or Cao Cao and others, they didn't take it to heart, thinking that they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and it was good to get used to it for a few days. In the days that followed, the same situation arose with some men from the other armies.

Then, Cao Cao came to visit in person, and was driven away by Guo Jia's order, Cao Cao was blocked by Dian Wei, Cao Cao had no choice but to let Dian Wei tell Guo Jia to rest well. After Cao Cao left, Guo Jia got up from the bed, didn't ask Dian Wei to help him, forced himself to put on a single coat, walked out of the tent, looked at the afterglow of the sunset, and couldn't help but sigh about his physical condition.

Perhaps, I will pass away like this twilight.

The sun and the moon shuttled, time passed, and two days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was a little problem in Cao Ying, some soldiers were tired, sleepy, headaches, and vomiting and diarrhea, as if they were suffering from water and soil adaptation!

Is this all a plague!

Cao Junzhong's generals couldn't help but feel a little chill when they watched the soldiers vomit until their stomachs were empty, their legs were weak, and even they vomited to death. However, after taking the medicine, most people can slowly adapt to it, even if they don't take the medicine, they will get used to spitting and vomiting. This made the generals of the Cao army wonder, are these soldiers plague or unadaptable?

If it was in normal times, Cao Jun would think that this was an unadaptation to the soil and water, but Guo Jia was diagnosed with the plague, which made Cao Jun's generals have to pay attention to it. The plague could not be only Guo Jia and his ironclad army, Cao Jun must have other soldiers sick.

Therefore, they did not have any other symptoms, so the medical officers of Cao Ying first boiled a lot of decoction according to the symptoms of water and soil, and gave them to the sick one by one, if they could not be cured for a few days, then it must be a plague!

After a few more days, the situation surprised the doctors, and instead of getting better, the number of sick people increased at once, and in almost every camp, there were people who fell ill, one to ten, and ten to hundred...... It's getting worse!

And the first group of sick people began to swing back and forth, and some slowly suffocated to death, and at this point, the medical officers were also infected with malaria, a very powerful plague!

The situation was reported to the Chinese army, the civil and military ministers were in a mess, there were those who trembled, there were those who cried, and there were those who wrote suicide notes, Cao Cao was also pale, and he almost fell to the ground, no wonder everyone was so panicked, this is an era of talking about "plague" color change!

Once the plague breaks out, it will be a few small counties and a large number of states, and people and animals will be sick, and medicine will be difficult to help. In the end, most of the people died, the rest were displaced, and the earth was full of white bones, turning into a ghost domain within a radius of thousands of miles!

Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty lived for three years, the population of the country was more than 60 million, to the first year of Jian'an, there were only 15 million people left in the country, in just 40 years, the population decreased by three-quarters, and the number is still declining, the reason is that wars, droughts, floods, locusts, etc., and the biggest 'hero' is the plague!

What's even more terrifying is that the plague not only hurts people's lives, but also shakes the rule of the country, the Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao, the great good sage, is to take advantage of the plague epidemic, scatter runic water everywhere, cure people, recruit millions of believers, and finally broke out the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the impact of the Han Dynasty is scattered!

Plague, a name even more terrible than a ghost.

In the northwest corner, a large open space is enclosed, surrounded by a fence that is more than a foot long, isolating this place from the outside world.

In the past few days, Cao Cao began to instruct the generals to check the sergeants and soldiers of the army one by one, and once they were found to have similar symptoms, regardless of their rank and position, all of them should be isolated.

All the ironclad troops under Guo Jia's command were sent here, not because everyone was suffering from the epidemic, but because the epidemic was first discovered from Guo Jia, and naturally all of them had to be isolated just in case.

There are many cases that cause epidemic diseases, the most common is that after the death of a person or animal, the corpse is not quickly and effectively cleaned and buried, resulting in the germs invading the living person's body, but it will not attack quickly, but spread within the human body for several days before the disease occurs.

At that time, people did not pay attention to eating habits and personal hygiene, especially the rough men in the barracks, who were always convenient and how to come. So once a disease occurs, it should not spread too quickly, especially in the hot summer months.

In order to prevent the soldiers from rioting, Cao Cao disarmed all the weapons and equipment of the soldiers suffering from the epidemic, and even the horses of the iron guards under Guo Jia's command were temporarily collected. In addition to sending decoction and food every day, Cao Cao did not allow anyone to approach to avoid infection.

It's not that Cao Cao is ruthless, it's that he is helpless. And this is also Guo Jia's idea, Guo Jia is really helpless in the face of the plague. Although Guo Jia knows some medical knowledge in later generations, that is basically what everyone who has read can understand, that is, some common sense, he doesn't know if he can survive this catastrophe, let alone other Cao Jun soldiers.

And the communication between Guo Jia and Cao Cao is also very inconvenient. Guo Jia was worried that the letters would also be contaminated with germs, so he thought of a solution.
