Chapter 757: The Plague

After Meng He's death, Arslen Khan ordered his men to disperse around according to Meng He's final arrangement, and scattered the corpses of many soldiers who had been sick and died for a long time in all the ponds he knew. Then he led the whole clan westward.

Along the way, all the water sources they passed through were concocted by Arszin Khan.

And he was chasing closely behind Arslen Khan Dejake, not knowing that the water source in front of him was polluted, and he continued to chase west day and night with hundreds of thousands of horses.

If you want to look at the Tanma in front of you, you have already been rewarded, saying that it is Arss Khan with millions of people, and he is camping more than two hundred miles ahead.

Jia Ke listened to the return of the horse on his horse, and a smile appeared on his face, he had been leading the army day and night all these days, and now he had finally caught the tail of Ars. This time this time it was not easy for this person to escape.

That night, as is customary, Rijake set up camp by a pond on a grassland. The fireheads began to fetch water nearby to make a fire and cook.

Soon the fragrant meal was delivered to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke didn't enjoy it alone, and invited the generals of all departments to drink there together, telling how to reward everyone after returning this time.

While Jia Ke was imagining the future there, Sun Yan, who was involved in the military aircraft with the army, hurriedly came in.

Sun Yan came to the tent, looked at the generals, then beckoned to Li Deshan, and finally exited the tent.

Li Deshan was a little strange when he saw Sun Yan beckoning, but he still confessed to Jia Ke and quietly withdrew from the big tent.

When Li Deshan came to the outside of the big tent, he saw Sun Yan anxiously turning around there.

Sun Yan was originally annoyed there, but when he saw Li Deshan come out, he immediately took a step forward and grabbed his hand and came to a secluded place.

"Hurry up and report to Your Majesty, there is a plague in our camp, and it is very serious, please make plans as soon as possible."

Li Deshan was so frightened when he heard that he had heard that this plague was a terminal disease, and that was spread from one to ten, ten to hundreds, and if it was not properly controlled, the people in a city would die.

So Li Deshan didn't dare to delay any longer, returned to the big tent from the new, quickly came to Jia Ke's side, and then fell into Jia Ke's ear, and said softly: "Lord Sun Yan came to report that there was a plague in the camp, and it was very serious, please prepare your majesty as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Jia Ke heard this, the cup in his hand fell to the ground.

And the generals who were singing and drinking happily at the bottom, seeing this situation, suddenly became silent, looking at Jia Ke sitting in the middle, at a loss.

Because these generals have never received such a gaffe from Jia Ke since they followed Jia Ke.

Jia Ke was not in the mood to eat, drink and have fun here now, and waved his hand to let the generals below leave the Chinese army's tent.

After everyone left, Jia Ke hurriedly ordered Li Deshan to send Sun Yan into the big tent to meet with him.

Soon Sun Yan hurriedly entered Jia Ke's big tent.

As soon as Jia Ke saw Sun Yan coming, he immediately asked, "When was this plague discovered?" Isn't it amazing? What did the military doctor who accompanied the army say? ”

Sun Yan said with a gloomy face: "The military doctor who accompanied the army was also helpless against this plague, but through the shaman of the Eight Banners, I learned that the source of these plagues was a nearby water source. ”

Jia Ke was shocked when he heard this, and then his brain raced rapidly.

This time the plague was clearly man-made, and it seemed that it was a trick taken by Arschoen Khan.

Jia Ke recalled the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, during the Han Dynasty on the earth, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on a northern expedition, and the Huns at that time could not resist it, and they also migrated westward, and finally when they left, they also gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a lesson, they polluted the water sources along the way, making many Han Dynasty soldiers sick, and finally had to give up the pursuit, and even Huo Quai, the most trusted general of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, died because of the plague.

After Jia Ke thought about the cause and effect, he immediately felt a burst of weakness, although he said that he had some ability, could he really stop the spread of this plague?

Sun Yan saw that after Jia Ke got his own report, he was silent, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Your Majesty, please make it clear. ”

Jia Ke felt a little frustrated, what could he do now? It can only be in accordance with the modern epidemic prevention policies and temporarily take some quarantine measures, as for whether these people can be well, they can only be resigned to fate.

"Spread my order, all infected soldiers will be arranged in a separate battalion, and all those who are found to be sick in the future will be treated in this camp, and no contact with the outside world will be allowed."

"Then there is the fact that all the clothes of these sick soldiers are burned, and all their excrement is dug deep and buried."

"Starting today, all soldiers in the battalion must drink boiled water, and at the same time, soldiers are asked to drink as much as possible."

After Jia Ke gave these orders, he sighed a little helplessly, and finally continued: "Now that the soldiers in the army are sick, I am afraid that they are no longer able to pursue, so they can only lead the army back to the country, and as for the Tatar affairs, they can only leave them to fend for themselves. ”

Jia Ke meant to abandon this pursuit and leave the Tatars alive.

Sun Yan also nodded silently after listening to Jia Ke's order, this time the army was sick, if he continued to pursue, I am afraid that there would be more people who would be sick, and then he might catch up with the Tatars and would not have the strength to fight.

Jia Ke was not in the mood now, and waved Sun Yan to go out to decorate, while he sat in the big tent and began to blame himself.

He is also a modern person, and he was played by an ancient person, because Jia Ke had already understood that this plan must have been made by Meng He and that bastard.

Jia Ke has been cursing Meng He this bastard in his heart now, and he can't die well.

He didn't know that Meng He had now returned to the Western Land, and he had also responded to Jia Ke's words, so he really couldn't die well.

Jia Ke led the army to stop the pursuit, rested in the local area, and isolated all the infected soldiers.

Then he ordered the military doctor with the army to treat these soldiers as much as possible, but this plague is not so easy to control, and there are more and more infected soldiers, and Jia Ke has no choice.

Sun Yan saw that it was not a way to continue like this, so he hurriedly proposed to Jia Ke that these infected soldiers be abandoned here, and Jia Ke and others immediately retreated south with a large army.

If Jia Ke had just led the army to fight with compassion in his heart, he would never have adopted Sun Yan's strategy, but as Jia Ke's status became higher and higher, his heart was harder than before.

Now Jia Ke accepted Sun Yan's proposal on the spot, and at the same time immediately ordered the army under his command to retreat south, as for those sick soldiers Jia Ke, they could only leave some food and supplies, and let them fend for themselves here.

When Jia Ke came, it could be said that he was aggressive, but when he retreated, he was embarrassed.

When Jia Ke went to meet with the cavalry and the infantry army, more than 30 thousand pursued the cavalry, and when he came back, it stopped at more than 20 thousand.

When Jia Ke saw this scene, he didn't care about the civil and military generals around him, and just lay on the ground and paused, beating his chest and crying bitterly.

Jia Ke thought that these soldiers who followed him in the southern and northern wars did not die on the battlefield, but died in this trap set by the Tatars, and he also blamed himself for being arrogant and ignorant, and underestimated these ancients, so that today's disaster occurred.

Seeing Jia Ke so sad, the surrounding generals hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Jia Ke was persuaded by the generals, and then slowly stopped his grief, although Jia Ke stopped crying, but there was a resentful expression in his eyes, he suddenly stood up with a fierce light in his eyes, and commanded Sun Yan on the side: "How many Tatars have been captured this time?" ”

Sun Yan looked at Jia Ke's expression and his question, and already understood in his heart what Jia Ke was going to do, but seeing Jia Ke's expression, he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only answer truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, this time we went north to capture a total of 200,000 Tatars, the old and weak. ”

After Jia Ke listened, he directly instructed Li Deshan on the side: "Pass on my order, dig a big pit, bury all these captives alive, and vent your anger for my dead soldiers." ”

Li Deshan got Jia Ke's order and immediately went out to deliver the decree.

Among the civil and military generals around Jia Ke, except for Sun Yan, who was a little unbearable, the other generals didn't think that Jia Ke had done anything excessive.

That night, Rijak's soldiers dug several large pits near the barracks, and then drove all the Tatar captives into the pits.

And when these captives first came out of the camp, they didn't know what was going on, but when they saw these pits, they already understood.

So these people fled like crazy, but they were surrounded by Jia Ke's army, and where could they escape.

So these people, when they fled, were either killed by Jia Ke's soldiers and thrown into the pit, or were driven into the pit by the soldiers with knives and guns.

As a result, overnight, the front of these 200,000 Tatar captives was killed by Jia Ke.

After Jia Ke killed these people, he could be regarded as having a bad breath, but the matter was irreparable at this point.

In the end, Jia Ke could only rest on the spot, and then ordered the horses to start patrolling the grassland, marking all the lakes where all the dead bodies were thrown.

The final result made Jia Ke relieved, although Arslen Khan said that it was to release the virus along the road, but after all, they were only going to the northwest, and they couldn't take care of other places so much.

Except for the lake in the northwest, the water source is still clean.

After Jia Ke found out the actual situation again, he sent the Eight Banners tribe under his command to begin to receive the inheritance left by the Tatars.

These vast steppes in the north are not all directly controlled by the Tatars, and there are many weak peoples, all of which are dependent on the Tatars.

Now that the Tatars have been driven out by Jia Ke, these tribes have begun to expand everywhere, how can Jia Ke agree.

So he sent his cavalry to sweep around, and opened the net for those sincere ethnic groups Jia Ke, let them continue to shepherd sheep in the same place, and swept away those unruly Jia Ke.

In this way, in order to pacify the grassland, Jia Ke spent nearly five months.

When the weather had become very cold, Jia Ke took people back to the division.
