Throughout the war history of Huayu Continent, almost all large-scale battles took place after the autumn. It is true that after the autumn harvest, the military rations are sufficient, and soon there will be nearly 100 days of leisure time for "winter leisure"; However, the cold winter climate can also prevent the widespread outbreak of diseases after the war, which is also an important factor behind the abundance of food and grass.

But at present, the melee that broke out in the Huayu Continent was chosen by Guo Xing, a stunned young man, who took the lead in choosing a time; The three roads in Youbei were forced to fight, and the Qin army wanted to attack from both sides; In this way, those who understand are also coerced in it, and they make trouble with Guo Xing, a "fool".

The battle in Hedong City dragged on for a long time, and countless soldiers were killed in the two armies. However, due to the fierce and compact battle, coupled with the weak awareness of epidemic prevention in the Qin army, it eventually led to the tragic situation of corpses piling up and pus and blood flowing everywhere.

Every corpse on the battlefield that no one has collected has already been piled up with green-headed flies the size of half a finger on the left and right! These dense little ones are excitedly enjoying a gluttonous feast given to them by humans. This battlefield full of corpses, under the illumination of the moonlight, seems to be covered with a thin black veil, undulating with the wind. When the sun rises, it immediately reflects a layer of green light, like a ghost fire burning from the depths of the earth, swaying and shining, making people feel chilled to look at.

Although the twelve medical officers of the Qin army are not famous doctors of Huayu, they are no strangers to epidemics. At this time, they all covered most of their faces with a covering cloth, revealing only two bloodshot eyes, which looked very much like a group of bandits who robbed houses.

At their strong request, Wang Junshi also tied a covering cloth and went to the gate of the camp with them.

Wang Yi, who has been going back and forth between the Chinese army's big tent and the baggage camp, has felt unwell in recent days. It's just that the trouble he encountered was not an epidemic, it was just a minor problem with tinnitus. Before, he thought that the symptoms of tinnitus were due to high mental tension and lack of sleep time; But as the distance from Hedong City became tighter, the ringing in the ears became clearer and clearer; Wang Yi's face became more and more ugly......

It wasn't until he climbed the watchtower of the walled wall that Wang Yi was immediately shocked by the "green" battlefield in front of him, and he was shocked by the cold sweat!

In the sky not far away, countless vultures and crows swirled; The black wings of these scavenging evil birds can be described as obscuring the sky and the sun, and the light is impermeable. Occasionally, a few lone birds that have broken away from the colony will quickly swoop down, like a fish jumping into the water, and wave waves of nasty green flies!

However, this "gluttonous feast" is not just enjoyed by two families; Except for the scavenging evil birds that hovered in the sky and refused to disperse for a long time; There are also countless vicious dogs and vicious dogs, which have also come one after another. This kind of vicious dog has no canine appearance at all: their eyes are red, their eyes are fierce, their fur is coarse and patchy, their four sharp fangs protrude out of their lips, and the bridge of their noses is always wrinkled into a terraced style, looking more like hungry wolves!

This vicious dog is not a special breed, just the most common wild dog. They roam the mountains and forests on weekdays, making lonely graves and mass graves their home, and living by fighting for carrion corpses all year round. Such vicious dogs never cooperate with each other; And no matter what kind of beast it is, if it wants to compete with it for food, even if it is just passing by the area where it eats, it will be immediately retaliated against.

These ferocious dogs choose their favorite "good meal", squeeze a strange sound from the depths of their throats, and then crash headlong into the corpse in front of them. They scare the annoying green-headed flies away, then stretch out their claws and struggle to open their rotten bellies, enjoying a rare "belly feast......

When the scorching sun was overhead, this cruel scene like hell, accompanied by the fishy and sweet smell in the air, unfolded in front of Wang Yi in the most direct way!

Wang Yi has been studying literature since he was a child, and he is now 50 years old. In this respect, he is the most orthodox literati. However, in Wang Yi's body, after all, it is the blood of Sanqin that flows, and that natural free and heroic feeling cannot be erased no matter what.

So although he was born as a scholar, he was never afraid of blood. And after he came out, he also handled a lot of murder cases due to the popularity of private fighting among the people of Sanqin; It has also happened frequently that those who have committed the most heinous crimes and destroyed their conscience and personally ended up with torture.

Although Wang Yi doesn't know martial arts, he is now approaching the sixtieth year, and his bow skills and equestrian skills have never been unfamiliar. So from this point of view, he can't be regarded as a typical Qingliu civil official; Moreover, whenever the battle in Hedong City was fierce, he would also come to the front of the battle to watch the battle, which was a person who had seen the world.

However, the vivid scroll unfolding in front of him today was far beyond the scope of his psychological bearing. This relatively static natural battlefield is far more breathtaking than the heated scene of the two armies fighting each other, swords and swords.

Vomit!

Wang Yi, who was standing on the watchtower, was stunned for a while, and then vomited without warning! Those undigested food scraps, along the lower edge of the mouth cloth, fell all over Wang Yi's placket; When he had finished vomiting, he closed his eyes and leaned back with his upper body tilted straight down the lookout......

Under the rescue of all the medical officers, after Wang Yi woke up slowly, he just waved weakly and said two words in a weak voice:

Get back.

Wang Yi didn't catch the epidemic, but his spirit was tense to the limit, and he couldn't help but completely break off. After the medical hall set him up and returned to the main tent, Wang Yi withdrew the hot soup handed over by the school, and after rinsing his mouth with water, he settled down and said to the medical officers with a little apology:

"Gentlemen, please accept the next bow, today's mistake is indeed Wang's negligence."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yi stood up and fell to the ground; The twelve military medical officers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all suppressed the grievances and resentments in their hearts for the time being.

"Master Wang, as the saying goes, it's not too late to make amends. Today, more than 30% of the soldiers in the wounded barracks of our army have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting at the same time; According to our speculation, I am afraid that a cholera outbreak is about to break out in the camp. The medical scriptures ask the clouds: the pure qi is in the yin, the turbidity is in the yang, the camp is smooth and the guard is reversed, and the turbidity is coherent, and it is chaotic in the stomach and intestines, which is also ...... for cholera."

A silver-haired, gray-bearded, sturdy old man saw that Wang Yi had already understood the urgency of the situation, so he explained to him in detail; But as soon as he told him the details of cholera, Wang Yi hurriedly waved his hand again and again, interrupting the old man's words:

"Mr. Kang, although he is a literati, he does not understand medical science. However, I fully trust your medical attainments, and Kang Lao does not need to quote scriptures to explain in such detail below; If you need Wang's help, just give me the order. ”

Kang Langzhong pondered for a while, then stopped talking about those official articles, and directly explained the results of the discussion of the medical officials to Wang Yihe.

"Since the military advisor is quick to talk, the old man is also outspoken. After our deliberations, it seems that there are three ways to deal with this situation: upper, middle and lower. One of the best strategies is to take advantage of the fact that the epidemic has not spread rapidly, and the army will immediately withdraw to the foot of Taihua Mountain, which is inaccessible and enough to accommodate our soldiers to rest; And because of the backing of Chang'an City, the transportation of materials is also very convenient! Moreover, even if the enemy army takes advantage of the chaos to attack, there are still two gates of Yuhe River and Tongguan......

"No!"

Kang Langzhong had just said this, and Wang Yi immediately vetoed this most secure proposal. However, this veto had nothing to do with his own thoughts, but that if the Qin army retreated, it must first get the consent of Zhou Changfeng, the king of Qin.

Since the beginning of the Qin army, although it captured Fengling Gudu, it also captured the strong city of Hedong; But it is far from the devastation and decay that was expected before the incident. Now that it is easy to lay down Hedong City, the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Huayu Continent has also opened its arms to itself. In such a situation, it is already a great sin not to think about the pursuit of victory; Now the whole army will retreat because of the plague that "may" spread!

Therefore, regarding Kang Langzhong's superior strategy, he didn't need to report to His Majesty King Qin at all, and he could figure out what kind of answer Zhou Changfeng would give.

Kang Langzhong, who had been refuted with his preferred offer, shook his head, and then extended a second finger:

"As for the middle strategy, it is to get the whole army out of camp as soon as possible, and find a safe place to rest and recuperate before the cholera outbreak occurs. However, two camps need to be built, and they must be separated by a long distance; The size of each camp is at least four times larger than that of the Hedong camp! Every camp needs a clean source of living water, and it cannot come from one source; Although the geographical location is not very important, it needs to be convenient for the supply of medicinal herbs......"

Wang Yi looked at the chattering Kang Langzhong, one head became two big, and he could only reach out and stop the other party's words again.

Not to mention whether Kang Lang's method can stop the spread of the epidemic in the army; But with the requirements he put forward now, it is really difficult for some strongmen.

Finding a safe place where enemy forces would not be disturbed is a very rare thing in the current situation; As for the establishment of two huge camps separately, it is not a major thing that can be done with lip service. At present, although the Qin army is not short of manpower, the timber for building the camp is nowhere to be found; In addition, there are two independent and clean sources of living water, and a prime location for the convenient supply of medicinal herbs......

There is no need to listen any further, Wang Yi can now pat his chest and tell Kang Langzhong three words: it can't be done.

Kang Langzhong also knew that the other party was embarrassed, and after sighing for a while, he continued to speak with a slight twist:

"As for the next step, the whole army immediately set up camp and took all the infected soldiers and seriously wounded and sick ...... Ahem...... Stay in Hedong City......"
