Chapter 278: Sudden Plague
After talking about Wang Kai's side.
When Cao Cao returned to Wancheng, he also immediately gathered everyone under his command and said: "Everyone, now that Champion County has been taken back by Wang Kai, it seems that if you want to completely lock Wang Kai's way out, you still need to dispatch troops and horses!" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yu and Xun You also agreed, because they also suffered heavy casualties after repeated battles.
Today, there are only more than 20,000 people left in Wancheng.
After deciding on the matter of increasing troops, Cao Cao also immediately wrote a letter to prepare for Cao Ang to dispatch troops and horses.
At this time, something bad suddenly happened in Nanzheng Township, not far from Wancheng, and some villagers were nauseous, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions.
Because the villagers did not know that the disease was a contagious plague, they came into contact with each other and caused the disease to spread quickly.
In less than ten days, Jianyang County, Shuyang County, Nieyang County, and Anzhong County, all of which had no garrisons, were infected with the plague.
Soon, the soldiers of Cao in Wancheng and the soldiers of Jingzhou in Xinye also had nausea, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions.
With the emergence of this situation, the Cao army in Wancheng and the Jingzhou army in Xinye also soon had a large-scale infection.
When Cao Cao learned that the soldiers under his command had a large number of bad symptoms, he hurriedly gathered all the people under his command and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, in recent days, the officers and soldiers of our army have had a large area of symptoms, I don't know what kind of typhoid fever do you think this is?" ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yu immediately said to Cao Cao: "Lord, according to historical records, the soldiers of our army are only afraid of the plague!" ”
Suddenly hearing the word plague, Cao Cao was also startled, and even the generals were quite afraid.
Cao Cao then asked tremblingly: "Zhongde, do you have a credential?" ”
"My lord, those doctors who came into contact with my sergeants and soldiers also showed the same symptoms, and I am afraid that there is no other choice but the plague!"
"If that's the case, I'll immediately write to Ang'er and ask Ang'er not to come to Nanyang again."
Later, Cao Cao also ordered the blockade of Wancheng and the isolation of the sick.
Because Cao Cao's handling was timely, the epidemic in Wancheng did not continue to expand, but the rest of the places rose wildly.
Soon, the Xue Li Department where Li Guo was stationed also showed the same symptoms.
At this time, Wang Kai had just entered Guanzhong from Wuguan.
Besides, when Li Yan, who was under Xue Li's command, saw that the soldiers were nauseous, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions, he immediately met Xue Li and said to him: "General Xue, something is wrong!" ”
"Zhengfang, what's the alarm?"
"General Xue, in addition to the officers and soldiers of our army, Champion County, Shunyang County and other places have the same symptoms as our soldiers, this disease is spreading so quickly, if I expect it to be good, this is a plague!"
"You can't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army! ”
"General Xue, how can I joke about this?"
Xue Li saw that Li Yan didn't seem to be joking, so he hurriedly found Xu Yan and relayed what Li Yan said.
When Xu Tao learned that the sergeant had died of the plague, he immediately said: "General Xue, if it is a plague, then we must report to the lord immediately, I remember that the lord has a famous doctor with excellent medical skills." ”
When Xue Li heard this, he immediately sent a messenger to inform Wang Kai.
When Wang Kai walked to Shang County, Xue Li's messenger finally caught up with Wang Kai and reported to him about the plague in Nanyang.
When Wang Kai learned that there was a plague in Nanyang County, he was also shocked, because the plague was not a joke in ancient times, and there were many plagues in the Three Kingdoms period in history.
Immediately after, Wang Kai immediately ordered the whole army to turn back to Nanyang.
Besides, when Li Ru saw that Wang Kai was going to Nanyang, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Lord, you can't risk your life!" The plague is no joke! ”
At this time, the rest of the ministers also came forward one after another.
After hearing this, Wang Kai immediately replied: "Of course I know the risk of the plague, but everyone doesn't know how to prevent and control the plague. ”
"I have made up my mind, and I will persuade you again!"
"If any of you are afraid of death, don't go with me."
Han Sui, Pei Xingyan, Wei Chigong, Hu Che'er, Jia Xu, and Li Ru heard Wang Kai say this, and they also admired Wang Kai even more, after all, no one dared to be like Wang Kai.
Immediately, everyone also agreed to follow Wang Kai to Nanyang.
Wang Kai also smiled with relief when he saw this.
After that, Wang Kai issued an urgent order to summon Sun Simiao to Nanyang to quell the epidemic, because Wang Kai's hopes were all on Sun Simiao.
After Wang Kai returned to Shunyang County, Nanyang County, he immediately sent someone to summon Xue Li and Xu Tao.
After Xue Li and Xu Tao came to Shunyang County, Wang Kai immediately gathered everyone and said: "Everyone, you must already know about the plague, now I want to issue an order, you must all do it for me and wait for Sun Simiao to arrive, have you heard it clearly?" ”
After hearing this, everyone replied in unison with a word of understanding.
Then, Wang Kai began to arrange.
"Xue Li, you immediately return to Liguo to blockade the city and isolate the patients with symptoms, and at the same time, let the soldiers and civilians in the city eat cooked food, not raw food, and wash their hands frequently, after completing these things, you only leave 3,000 people to garrison and let the rest of the soldiers who are not infected come to Shunyang County."
Xue Li quickly took the order and left.
Two days later.
All the remaining soldiers and horses of the State of Li came to Shunyang County to listen to Wang Kai's dispatch.
After Wang Kai saw that Liguo's soldiers and horses had arrived in Shunyang County, he arranged everyone again.
"Xu Tao, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to Champion County and do what I said."
"Han Sui, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Yin County."
"Wei Chigong, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Yu County."
"Jia Xu, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Wudang County."
"Hu Che'er, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Danshui County."
"Li Ru, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Xi County."
"Pei Xingyan, you lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Nanxiang County."
"I'm personally in charge of Shunyang."
When the people got the order, they quickly took action.
At the same time, Wang Kai ordered Ma Dai in Fangling County to block the city and not allow people from Jingzhou to enter Hanzhong County.
At this time, after Sun Simiao of Chang'an received Wang Kai's order, he quickly bid farewell to the two wives and rushed to Shunyang County.
Besides, after Huang Zhong of Xinye discovered the situation of the plague, he also quickly sent someone to inform Liu Biao in Xiangyang City.
When Liu Biao learned that there was a plague in Nanyang County, he also quickly ordered Wen Ping to give up attacking Pingshi County, because the plague was menacing, and he did not dare to slack off.
With the withdrawal of Wenpin, Yuan Shu of Pingshi County also quickly learned of the plague in Nanyang County.
At this time, the same symptoms also appeared in Yuan Shu's army.
When he learned that his own soldiers had also contracted the plague, Yuan Shu suddenly thought to himself: "I didn't expect a plague to occur in Nanyang County, although this place is an imperial township, it is so unknown, it seems that you don't want this place!" ’
Immediately, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the soldiers who were showing symptoms to be abandoned and then began to withdraw the army, because the plague was the best thing to avoid.
