Chapter 0837: War and Plague
"Lock this place down!"
Kou Ji ordered with a solemn face.
Chong Shiheng was stunned for a moment, and then his face became solemn.
Since Kou Ji arrived in Hexi, he has not interfered in military affairs, and rarely gives direct orders to soldiers and horses.
He has not gone through the seed Shiheng now, and directly issued the order, which means that the situation is very likely to be very serious.
Chong Shiheng stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Kou Ji glanced at Chong Shiheng and said in a deep voice: "Dogs cover both the dead and the living inside, and if you don't get it right, it will breed plague." ”
There is a way that after the great plague, there will be a great plague.
A military disaster is also a type of disaster.
In the process of military disasters, plagues such as horse plague are most likely to be triggered.
Therefore, on the battlefield, it is common to see the practice of throwing the remains of dead cattle, horses and sheep into the water source.
The aim is to destroy the water source.
After the war disaster, there are too many dead people, and there is no one to bury their corpses, and the corpses are exposed to the air for a long time, eaten by mosquitoes, and full of decay, which will breed plague.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu drove the wounded soldiers to one place, regardless of whether they lived or died.
So many of the wounded were left unhealed and died, and their bodies were in the camp with no one to bury them.
After a long time, the corpses stinked.
The stench of decomposing corpses and the stench of decomposing wounds, mixed with the stench of feces, come together to form a pungent stench.
Before Kou Ji entered the wounded barracks, he had already smelled a pungent stench, and the real inside of the wounded barracks was probably already stinky.
After the flood, the able-bodied people who came into contact with some floating corpses or ate something unclean would produce a plague.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu held hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers together, whether they lived or died, if they couldn't cover the plague, it would be a strange thing.
Chong Shiheng knew the horror of the plague, so after hearing Kou Ji's words, his face turned slightly pale and said, "Really? ”
Kou Ji said with a gloomy face: "There is a great chance......"
Chong Shiheng hesitated: "What should I do?" ”
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Leave me 20,000 people, and I'll stay to deal with them." You take people to chase after the Black Khan King Yusufu, and then order people to guard the city, and no one outside the gate is allowed to enter, let alone approach this place.
Then he sent someone to find Du Yan and instructed him to arrange some grain and grass, medicinal herbs, lime, and a doctor with the army to come over.
Then I sent someone to send a letter to the forensic hospital in Bianjing, and asked everyone inside to come and help me. ”
Chong Shiheng frowned and said, "Since this place is prone to breeding plagues, then you don't stay." I have lost this place with a fire, and strangled the plague in its cradle. ”
Kou Ji glanced at Chong Shiheng, "That's hundreds of thousands of people, not a few people." If we get a little fire, they don't want to rush out, and we can't stop them all.
If there is already a plague in it, as long as one fish escapes the net, there will be endless troubles. ”
Chong Shiheng frowned and said: "The Black Khan King Yu Sufu lived with these people before, if there is already a plague in it, then the Black Khan King Yu Sufu may have been infected by someone in the Soldiers and Mali."
It's not going to help you stay here to clean up this mess. ”
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I don't care where the Black Khan King Yu Sufu will pass the plague to. All I can do is to prevent the plague from reaching the Great Song. I must stay here and dispose of them while I check for the plague.
If there is a plague, we have to close it.
Those of us who have survived the plague will not be able to enter the country. ”
Chong Shiheng's face became very ugly.
Kou Ji sighed and said, "This is also something that can't be helped, we can't let the plague flow into my Great Song." Once the plague flows into my Great Song, many people will die at that time.
First and foremost are our brothers.
The second is Hexi and other places.
If it spreads to three or five prefectures, then the imperial court will have to return to the court and block the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
When the time comes, the enemy will be able to recklessly attack cities and plunder land in the border areas of our Great Song Dynasty.
So I had to make sure there was no plague, and I had to make sure that the plague didn't flow into the Great Song Dynasty. ”
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Chong Shiheng knew the severity, he nodded solemnly, "Then I will order people to seal the customs now, and then leave 20,000 soldiers for you, and I will take the rest to chase the Black Khan King Yu Sufu." ”
Kou Ji advised: "We have arranged a lot of means to deal with the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, so you must not go head-to-head with the Black Khan King Yu Sufu. You force him to the river Le, and we win. ”
Chong Shiheng immediately nodded and agreed, and went down to give the order.
It didn't take long for fifteen thousand more soldiers to be sent here, in addition to the 5,000 soldiers who blocked the wounded barracks.
After they arrived, Kou Ji commanded in a deep voice: "Captains of all ranks, the only son of the general, select them and let them go to camp." I needed three camps, each of which had to accommodate 300,000 people.
Half of the rest of the people stayed here, strictly guarding anyone who came and went, and half of them stayed where they were, waiting for orders. ”
The officers and men in the army did not understand the meaning of Kou Ji's order, but they still began to do things according to Kou Ji's orders.
After receiving Kou Ji's order, Du Yan hurried here.
Koji kept him out.
Without waiting for Du Yan to ask, Kou Ji had already told Du Yan his guess.
After Du Yan heard that there might be a plague in the wounded barracks of the Black Khan soldiers, he didn't dare to slack off.
He followed Kou Ji's instructions and returned to Yumen Pass and blocked the gate.
Then he stepped up the preparations for the supplies that Koji needed.
During this period, Chong Shiheng had already reorganized his soldiers and horses.
Then he let out a long sigh and followed the Black Khan King Yu Sufu with his soldiers and horses.
He was actually very sad in his heart, if there was really a plague, then there would probably not be many soldiers who left the Yumen Pass this time who could go back alive.
In addition to being sad, Chong Shiheng also hated the black sweat king Yu Sufu.
If it weren't for the Black Khan King Yu Sufu's black heart to suffocate the living and the dead, perhaps they wouldn't have to bear the risk of the plague.
Chong Shiheng led the soldiers and horses, and chased after the black Khan King Yu Sufu.
Kou Ji stayed where he was and dealt with the wounded prisoners.
In addition to the wounded prisoners in the Black Khan camp, there were also wounded prisoners who had previously been on the battlefield.
All of them need to be dealt with by Koji.
Kou Ji took the people first and divided them into two parts.
Serious injuries and minor injuries.
Those with minor injuries were grouped into one camp, and those with serious injuries were grouped into another.
After allocating them, Koji did not rush them into the camp, but let them wait outside the camp.
Koji waited outside the camp with them for a short time.
The military doctor in Yumen Pass brought a large group of supplies to the outside of the city.
Kou Ji's doctors immediately followed the army and sprinkled lime around the newly built camp several times.
Then several large pits were erected, and a lot of potions of firewood and other medicinal materials were burned, and everyone was soaked in them.
The first to soak was naturally the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were soaked, and it was the turn of the wounded soldiers of Black Khan.
The Black Khan soldiers were wounded, soaked in water, screaming in pain, but no one resisted.
Because they don't dare.
Because guarding against them were the Great Song soldiers who were armed with various types of bows and crossbows.
After soaking in the potion, the Black Khan soldiers put on the clothes distributed to them by Koji, and entered the camp one by one, where they were treated by the doctors who accompanied the army.
After treatment, they will be assigned to two camps.
The seriously wounded are in the camp with the serious injury, and the lightly injured are in the camp with the minor injury.
After dealing with these prisoners and wounded soldiers who participated in the battle.
Kou Jicai sent selected soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to clean up the wounded barracks left by the black sweat king Yusufu with sweat towels soaked in medicinal water.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty only went in once, and after carrying out more than 3,000 black sweat people, they lay on the ground and vomited frantically, vomiting and crying at the same time.
Kou Ji summoned the leading lieutenant and asked, "What is the situation inside?" ”
The captain endured the feeling of vomiting and whispered to Kou Ji: "It's simply purgatory on earth. Of the ten people, three were dead, four were dragged from minor injuries to serious injuries, and the remaining three, although lightly injured, were not very good. ”
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Why is it not good......"
The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Black Khan King Yu Sufu didn't give them much food, but they are still alive......"
Kou Ji's brows furrowed even tighter for a moment, although the captain didn't say it explicitly.
But Kou Ji already understood what the captain meant.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and ordered, "You bring knives in here." Remember, we only save people. ”
The lieutenant understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words, and immediately nodded.
Subsequently, the captain led people to and from the wounded barracks of the Black Khan soldiers.
It took them two days to carry out nearly 70,000 people.
Of these, just over 20,000 were slightly injured, while the rest were serious.
Two days later in the evening.
The Captain brought Kou Ji very bad news.
"Kou Shumi, in the middle of the wounded barracks, there is not one living person, and further in the middle, there are no living people. Almost all of the living are coughing up blood. ”
When Kou Ji heard the news, he immediately ordered, "Don't save people, let the brothers quit immediately." Then set fire to the camp. ”
"Those who are alive ......"
The lieutenant hesitated to ask.
Kou Ji shouted: "I said no, didn't you hear clearly?" Set fire to the camp, not a single one is allowed to be released! ”
The lieutenant agreed, and went down to carry out Kou Ji's order.
After the lieutenant left, Kou Ji's face was gloomy and could drip blood.
Yu Sufu, the black sweat king of the dog day, may really have covered the plague.
Many plagues have a sign after an outbreak, that is, coughing up blood, the most famous of which is cholera.
There were no living people in the center of the Black Khan Wounded Barracks, and there were no people in ten near the center, and almost all those who survived were coughing up blood, and the signs were very similar to the outbreak of the plague.
After receiving Kou Ji's order, the captain immediately let the Great Song soldiers who went in to save people retreat.
Koji then ordered the soldiers to seal off the camp and then set fire to it.
There were 300,000 wounded soldiers left in the wounded barracks by the Black Khan King Yusufu, but only 70,000 were rescued in the end.
The rest of the people were either dead, waiting to die, or were cut down by the people sent in by Kou Ji.
The reason why Koji sent people to cut down those people was because those people ate things that they shouldn't have eaten.
Kou Ji was afraid that someone would escape, so he ordered the soldiers to seal off the camp tightly, but when the fire was lit, none of the people who were still alive fled outside, not even screaming.
The flames burned half of the sky, and in the middle of the flames, there were figures shaking, but there was no shouting, only the whirring sound of the flames blown by the wind, and the scene was very strange.
Kou Ji stared at the flames, his face gloomy to the extreme.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu doesn't take human life as human life, even if he still goes out to cover the plague, it's just damned.
Those wounded soldiers, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu didn't want to take them, how simple it was to think of a way to kill them.
I have to drive them out to one place, and leave them to fend for themselves, and let them go out to cover the plague.
The fire burned until the next day, and the air was filled with the smell of fragrance, stench, corpse oil, and finally there was a sound in the flames.
It was the sound of a mouse.
A lot.
They shouted anxiously in the flames.
Even from a distance of hundreds of feet, Kou Ji could hear it clearly.
It can be seen from this that there are many rats inside.
The flame burned for three days and was not extinguished.
The corpse oil refined by more than 200,000 people flowed everywhere, and they flowed here with flames.
When the flame will be extinguished, no one knows.
Koji didn't pay any more attention to the raging fire.
Because among the people he rescued, some began to cough up blood.
After investigating the man's situation, the military doctor immediately found Kou Ji.
Kou Ji was writing a letter to Chong Shiheng in the tent, and he wanted to tell Chong Shiheng to avoid short-range encounters with the Black Khan soldiers as much as possible.
Because he was already ninety percent sure that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu had created the plague, and it was very likely that some of the Black Khan soldiers had contracted the plague.
"Kou Shumi! Something happened! ”
The military doctor broke into Koji's tent and screamed.
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" ”
The accompanying doctor exclaimed, "There is a plague! ”
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Sure?!" ”
The military doctor immediately nodded, "Dozens of people have started coughing up blood." The villains had checked their injuries before, and they only had some external injuries and no internal injuries. And to some of these people's trauma in the lower body, there is no possibility of coughing up blood at all.
Now that they are coughing up blood, it means that they may have contracted the plague. ”
Kou Ji asked, "Have any of you seen anything like this?" ”
The military doctor nodded decisively, "Yes!" After the death of my senior brother who accompanied the army at the Wuding River, he had seen a similar situation. At that time, there was an outbreak of plague, and hundreds of thousands of people died. ”
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Your senior brother can be among the military doctors?" ”
The military doctor hurriedly nodded, "Here!" The one who judged that those people had the plague was my brother! ”
Koji narrowed his eyes, "In that case, there is really a plague. You go and tell the other military doctors to wash it with potion every day. In addition, when entering the barracks, you must wear a sweat towel soaked in medicated water on your face.
When you patrol the barracks, write down all the tents where the plague-infected Black Khan soldiers live, and then I will send someone to deal with it. ”
The military doctor nodded decisively.
After Kou Ji left with the army doctor, he took out a letter to Chong Shiheng, crossed out the words suspected of plague, and changed it to confirm the existence of the plague.
After writing the letter, Kou Ji immediately sent his soldiers to send it to Chong Shiheng quickly.
Then he dispatched his soldiers, and all the people in the tent of the black sweat wounded soldiers who coughed up blood were transferred to other places, and they were cut off in one piece, and then burned with fire.
He didn't dare to leave the corpse behind, for fear that the beast would bite it out and spread the plague everywhere.
Since then, people have been found coughing up blood almost every day.
Then Koji pulled out tent by tent to cut off his head and burn the corpses.
It was during the days when Koji was dealing with the Black Khans and the plague.
Great wars broke out in various parts of Hexi.
After the end of the battle at Yumen Pass.
Di Qing immediately received the news, he entrusted Yangguan to Li Di, broke through the gate, led 30,000 iron cavalry, and rushed to the Liao soldiers outside the pass.
"Kill!"
Di Qing wore a mask armor and took the lead, rushing to the forefront.
The soldiers behind him followed him all the way with great momentum.
When Chong Shiheng fought against the Black Khan soldiers at Yumen Pass, he adopted the tactics of encircling three queyi.
Di Qing fought against the Liao soldiers in Yangguan and did not use too many tactics.
In his opinion, there are only 150,000 Liao soldiers outside the city, not 500,000, and he leads the army to rush out, and if he can fight the other side head-on, he doesn't need to arrange too many tactics.
Di Qing was confident that he would lead 30,000 iron cavalry to break through the formation of the Liao soldiers and kill in front of Xiao Pi's enemy, so he didn't have so many bells and whistles.
When Di Qing led his troops out of Yangguan, Xiao Pidi had just received the news of the defeat of Yumen Pass by the Black Khan King Yusufu, and he was still thinking about whether to rush to the aid of Yumen Pass, when he heard the news from his subordinates that Di Qing was leading his soldiers and horses to attack.
When Xiao Pidi learned that Di Qing only led 30,000 soldiers and horses, he rushed out to meet him, and without thinking about it, he immediately gathered all the Liao soldiers, killed the barracks, and went to deal with Di Qing head-on.
Xiao Pidi took the soldiers and horses out of the barracks, and Di Qing had already led the army to rush in front of them.
"Cast!"
"Shoot!"
After Di Qing pounced in front of the Liao soldiers, he decisively asked his soldiers to throw the grenades in their hands.
When Xiao Pidi rushed to the front of Di Qing, he decisively asked his soldiers to respond to the enemy with bows and crossbows.
The bow and crossbow blocked some of Di Qing's charging momentum.
However, under the bombardment of grenades, the Liao soldiers also suffered heavy losses.
Di Qing relied on the lethality of the grenade to tear a hole in the front of the Liao soldiers.
Then he led his soldiers to cut through the hole like sharp knives.
"Kill!"
Di Qing led dozens of heavy armor, wielding heavy spears and heavy knives, constantly slashing and assassinating Liao soldiers, and constantly charging forward.
The Liao soldiers in front of them all became the ghosts of swords and guns without exception.
"Strangling!"
Xiao Pidi stared coldly at Di Qing and rushed into battle, and coldly ordered to be strangled.
The Liao soldiers on both sides rushed towards the Great Song soldiers who rushed forward to kill.
30,000 Song Dynasty soldiers, advancing dozens of zhang, there will be thousands of people leaving the team and fighting with the Liao soldiers who strangled them.
The 30,000 Great Song Dynasty soldiers, when they rushed to more than 300 zhang in front of Xiao Pi's rival banner, there were less than 3,000 people left who followed Di Qing's side.
In front of Xiao's rival, there were more than 20,000 Liao soldiers guarding him.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Xiao Pidi, I want your handsome flag! ”
Di Qing laughed, and as he charged, he removed a leather bag from his horse, pulled out the lead, and threw it out.
The soldiers who followed behind Di Qing followed suit.
Seeing this, Xiao Pi's pupils shrank.
"So you're going to take my head from the rebels?!"
Xiao Pidi shouted through gritted teeth.
He was answered by the sound of explosions and the chaotic shouts of the Liao soldiers.
Di Qing tore a big hole in front of Xiao Pi with a bundle of grenades tied together.
Three thousand soldiers and horses rushed to Xiao Pi's opponent in an instant.
Di Qing shook the heavy gun in his hand, and shot it at the location where Xiao Pi's opponent was.
Seeing this, the deputy general beside Xiao Pidi rushed forward to block, but was pierced by Di Qing's shot, Yu Wei pierced Xiao Pidi's arm, and Xiao Pidi fell under the horse.
The guards guarding Xiao Pidi's side forced Di Qing back a few steps with their spears, and then ran away with Xiao Pidi.
Di Qing didn't kill Xiao Pi with a shot, and he was very sorry in his heart, but he didn't chase Xiao Pi Rival, but rode forward and smashed the flagpole of Xiao Pi's handsome flag with one shot, and shouted loudly with Xiao Pi's handsome flag.
"Xiao is dead! Don't you surrender quickly! ”
The Liao soldiers, who were fighting with the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, heard Di Qing's shout, looked sideways one by one, and saw that the handsome flag had already arrived in Di Qing's hands.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain.
Some people take the lead, and naturally some people follow.
In an instant, the Liao soldiers fled.
The Liao soldiers who could escape fled decisively, and those who couldn't escape decisively jumped off their horses and chose to surrender.
Di Qing left a thousand generals to guard the prisoners, and he rushed out with the remaining soldiers chasing the fleeing Liao soldiers.
After chasing and killing the Liao soldiers all the way for more than 30 miles, and after driving the Liao soldiers out of Guazhou, Di Qing Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
In this battle, Di Qing's array killed more than 10,000 Liao soldiers and captured more than 40,000 Liao soldiers.
More than 100,000 cattle and sheep and more than 60,000 horses were captured.
After returning to Yangguan.
Li Di looked at Di Qing, who was covered in blood, and kept chatting in surprise, "Who did you borrow this body bone?" ”
Di Qing didn't understand what Li Di meant.
Li Di sighed with emotion: "If someone else is hit by two arrows, I'm afraid they will die a long time ago." You took two arrows, how can you be the same as someone who is fine?
Don't you know it hurts? ”
Di Qing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I am so energetic to kill on the battlefield, I just think about killing the enemy, and I don't feel pain at all." ”
Li Di smiled bitterly and immediately beckoned someone to treat Di Qing's injuries.
After Di Qing bandaged his wounds, Li Di said to Di Qing: "A military order has just come from the direction of Yumen Pass. Counsellor Kou has instructed you to remain stationed here.
If an enemy is coming, you can go out to meet the enemy, or you can stick to the city.
There will be no reinforcements coming over there to help you at Yumen Pass for the time being.
So you have to be careful in everything. ”
When Di Qing heard this, he said with a stunned face: "Didn't you say that after I defeated the Liao soldiers, I would have to face the Qingtang people later?" Didn't you say that you would send me seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses to fight the Qingtang people in Suzhou?
Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”
Di Qing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the war outside the Jade Gate Pass?" ”
