Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy.

Even if Chibi is blocked, he is full of confidence, but the soldiers have been here for half a month, and Cao Cao's momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers like a tiger has dissipated a lot, replaced by deep worry in his pupils and dark circles under his eyes!

Under his dull gaze, the officers who reported felt a chill run down their backs.

But he can't help but report it, because the matter is too serious!

"Six out of 1,000 people were infected with anger in the Li Department yesterday, eight out of 700 people died, three out of 2,000 people were infected with anger in the Xiahou Department, four out of 800 people died of illness, and Xu was ......."

"Enough!"

It is said that the casualty rate borne by the ancient cold weapon troops is one-tenth, and once it exceeds this ratio, it will collapse, but it has only been in this Ulin for more than a month, and the war has not been fought.

How can it not be shocking?

And not only Cao Cao himself, but the entire Cao group has a worried face, feudal feudalism, and now the people who are sick and die are their own subordinates! Besides, God knows if you will get sick at a mysterious time?

After thinking about it again and again, although his ambition with Mr. Cao gradually turned to the left, Xun Yu Xunlingzhong, who was still a pivotal player in the Yecheng lineup, couldn't help but stand up, on behalf of everyone, and hesitated to greet Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, the epidemic is starting now! The army is in chaos! Although our army is numerous, but the northern soldiers are the majority, do not practice water warfare, and then confront each other here, I am afraid that the harm will be more and less, for the minister's opinion, if we lead the troops back to Xiangyang, digest Jingbei, and wait for the epidemic to retreat next year, and then retreat a million troops, and break through the south of the Yangtze River, which is the safest way! I hope the prime minister will decide! ”

"Prime Minister, Xun Lingzhong is also seeking the country!"

Xun Yu was still popular after all, and behind him, Chen Qun, Mao Jue and others also nodded in approval.

But now, Cao Cao is fifty-four years old, and he is no longer the former sword-wielding thief Cao Apu, unconsciously, he has lived up to his sharpness, and from the moment of suspicion, Xun Yu's advice is indeed pertinent, but looking at the words of the advisers, he still couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"The military order is like a mountain! Today, he is compared to a million heroes, and he is not a minister, but now in front of 50,000 thieves in this small Wulin, blue-eyed children, he has not sent a single arrow, and he turned around and fled, wouldn't it increase the morale of this Sun Liu Xiao'er and destroy the prestige of my Han Dynasty? ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but get stuck there, after all, he had been Cao Cao's chief strategist for decades, and even sometimes the two of them felt like old friends, he knew Cao Apu too well! He said that the issue of withdrawal is basically impossible! With a sigh, this Xun Yu immediately looked at Jia Xu.

"Jia Shizhong! There is a big epidemic in the army, but the Qingzhou Department under your supervision can't afford the epidemic, dare to ask what kind of epidemic prevention methods are there in the service? ”

Is there a way for Jia Xu?

Of course there is, after all, his lord Wang Hou also survived from a certain classic, a certain sense of fowl, and he cooperated with Yu Ji, who is good at medicine, for epidemic prevention and hygiene, Qingzhou still has a set!

Now the plague that broke out in Cao Jun has actually been rampant in the Central Plains for many years! In later generations, it should be called typhus!

This thing is not the same thing as typhoid fever, but it is somewhat similar to the plague, and the Black Death, which killed half of the population in the West, is transmitted in much the same way, with rats as pathogen carriers, and then bite rat lice, fleas and other bloodsucking worms carry pathogens, and fly to people, cross-infection.

After all, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were 50 million people and 20 million households, and by the time of the Three Kingdoms, there were only 5 million households and 20 million people left in the world, and within a few decades, more than 30 million people were wiped out by war alone, which is really a bit exaggerated and incredible.

Moreover, the seven sons of Jian'an, five of whom died in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, and in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, the most scarlet stroke recorded by the historian was the epidemic of warp!

and Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty, also published his "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" almost during this period.

However, this disease is not unsolvable, compared to the Middle East respiratory disease in later generations, and a certain crown, the way it spreads is simply pediatric! It's just good to keep it hygienic!

Just like in the West, the time when the Black Death gradually disappeared coincided with the gradual decline of the papal authority of Rome, the quiet rise of light industry, the invention of soap, and the fact that people followed the instructions of the Pope in the old days, bathed only once in their lives, and used the filth of the body to keep the soul pure, and changed to frequent bathing, more ventilation, and the attitude of not catching a cold during the flu season.

The channels of contagion were eliminated, and the Black Death naturally dissipated.

Therefore, the Qingzhou army is also very simple, military supplies are added with two things, mugwort leaves and sulfur imported from the Wa country, smoked clothes to repel insects, and then organize a bath when there is nothing to do, and the hygiene is maintained well, and this kind of anger can naturally not be found on the head.

These Wang Hou also wrote on Ping Wu Ce!

But these were torn up by Jia Xu and thrown into the sea outside the island city!

As always, he was pretending to be forced, his face was full of astonishment, and after thinking for a moment, Jia Xu slapped his thigh and said as if he suddenly realized.

"Prime Minister, before leaving the army, our military division was blessed by the Eternal Fire Church of Island City, and there was also the talisman water that the first hanging Dao leader of the church personally gave after worshipping the god of the Golden Crow! It should be the blessing of the black god and the destruction of this place! ”

"Prime Minister, otherwise the subordinates will immediately send someone back to the island city to ask for Fu Shui?"

Looking at Jia Xu's excited look, whether it was Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others, they couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, and Cao Cao shook his head solemnly.

"No need!"

Which of the late Han Dynasty heroes did not start by suppressing the Yellow Turban? For Taoism, whether it is Cao Cao or Xun Yu, none of them have a cold, besides, even if you don't consider the influence of Shi Fu Shui on the new Eternal Fire Dao Cultivator, this place is thousands of miles away from Qingzhou, separated by mountains and rivers, and when Jia Xu pans and asks Fu Shui back, I am afraid that the bones of the army will be cold.

"The infected people are strictly isolated, and the sick corpses are immediately burned! Don't let the anger spread further! Let's go down! ”

"The last general obeys the order!"

…………

The cruelty of the warlords in this era is also vividly displayed at this moment, and as the order is issued, black smoke suddenly rises into the sky! In front of the eyes of the Han people, who are most particular about entering the earth, the corpses were burned into ashes and mixed together.

Even not only those who died of illness, but also some soldiers who were not dead from the disease and were unable to move were also thrown into the fire by the order of the commander of the battalion commander of each cantonment.

The morale of the northern army, which was originally like a rainbow, began to drop little by little like an avalanche.

The southeast corner of the barracks, the camp of the Rizhao Brigade of the Qingzhou Army.

After writing a secret letter, he sealed it in a wax pill with his own hands, stuffed it into the pigeon's foot ring, and then Jia Xu solemnly released a flock of pigeons from the cage, and the feathers were scattered, watching them flap their wings to the north.

Just when the loud cooing of the pigeons was deafening, the brigade leader of the Rizhao Brigade, Zhu Ling, came over with a heavy suit of armor, knelt on one knee, and gave a military salute to Jia Xu.

"Don't drive!"

"The sulfur and wormwood hoarded by our army will be sent to the Chinese army in seventy!"

"Don't drive! Our army is still insufficient, and it is divided into the hegemon, what is the use of the soldiers? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Ling's old face suddenly twitched, he was mixed up under Cao Cao, so he defected to Wang Hou, Wang Hou has also treated him like a descendant over the years, and this juncture is divided into the life-saving wormwood and sulfur under his command, which is like asking him to die.

But looking at his angry discrimination, Jia Xu still looked cold and said coldly.

"What the prime minister asked, do you want the official to refuse? Do you want to have a grudge against General Zhenbei? ”

Zhu Ling was dumbfounded by a sharp question, and it took a long time before he responded with a gloomy fist, then snorted heavily, and turned to leave.

Mr. Cao doesn't have a grudge against Wang Housheng, anyway, at this moment, Zhu Ling hates Cao Cao so much that the roots of his teeth itch! But looking at his back, the corners of Jia Xu's mouth inexplicably hooked up a cold smile!

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Dead point is dead point! ”
