Chapter 334: Dealing with the Plague
Doctor Li went down, and he was busy outside, and he couldn't do without him, the only military doctor in the whole army.
"Lao Cheng, you have a whole 10,000 Tongzhou army, just such a military doctor?" Looking at Lao Li's disappearing figure, Qin Wang suddenly realized that it seemed that there was a serious shortage of manpower in a profession like doctors.
"Well, the military doctor is the only one, and there are more than a dozen of his apprentices, but it doesn't take a big deal, so he does some small things like boiling medicine and bandaging." Lili replied absent-mindedly with a solemn face.
Qin Forget was speechless, a whole army of 10,000 people, there were only a dozen military doctors, no wonder as long as the soldiers were injured, they could only stiffen up. An idea was born in him, but now was not the time to say it.
"What is the morale of the soldiers?" Qin Forget then asked a very important question.
"Plummeting." Cheng Cheng smiled bitterly, "It's no wonder that they, no matter what kind of troops have such a situation, low morale is inevitable." General Qin, what should we do next? ”
"What else can I do? The county has been defended, and there is no reason to give up because of the plague. I will order Yang Xuan to return to Chicheng later, let my subordinates do their best to get the medicinal materials to treat the plague, and tie them all over, whether it is a famous doctor or a barefoot langzhong, I will definitely not give up in the county city of Yinma. Qin Wangfu said categorically.
Hearing Qin Wang's words, Cheng Cheng sighed, he knew that this would be the result, but he still hoped that Qin Wang could put the lives of his soldiers first and withdraw from the county town of Yinma for the time being.
"General Qin, I think it's better to retreat for the time being." What he thought in his heart, he said it without concealment, "We all have an outbreak of the plague, presumably that Wang Tian is more uncomfortable than us, they have hundreds of thousands of chaotic people gathered together, it is impossible to organize effective treatment, maybe they will all die in a few days, and no one will be able to threaten the county town of Yinma." ”
"Lao Cheng, you're wrong." Hearing Wan Li's words, Qin Forget shook his head, "I have never regarded Wang Tian and those people as opponents, what I'm worried about is Huang Jinshan, Huang Ling, and your general Zhao Qian, with their ambition and strength, this plague really can't stop their determination to occupy Yuma County." Qin Forget said bluntly without hesitation.
The establishment of these words looked embarrassed for a while, but knowing that Qin Forget was reasonable, he couldn't say anything.
"What's more, I want NSW, not just Yuma County. I'm afraid that this plague is not small, and if we don't ignore it, I'm afraid there will really be no living creatures on the ground in this new state. ”
"What? Are you still planning to save the whole of NSW? Hearing Qin Wang's words, Cheng Cheng shouted loudly, in the face of such a fierce plague, Qin Wang's idea, Cheng Cheng didn't know whether to be moved or think he was arrogant.
"It's just a matter of letting everyone do their best, how much can be saved." Qin Forget also had a feeling of powerlessness.
"General, are you looking for me?" Yang Xuan sweated profusely and walked into Qin Wang's big tent.
As soon as the plague broke out, he immediately ran down to understand the situation and start arranging.
"Yang Xuan, let's
How many people are sick? Qin Forget stopped the pen in his hand and asked as he put the two letters into the envelope.
"It's not very good, it's our people who are guarding the captives, and it's our people who are the most infected. It is now confirmed that 357 people have been infected, and 1,000 people are suspected of being infected. Yang Xuan frowned and said.
"So much?" Qin Wang's brows also furrowed, a full half of the soldiers were sick, it seemed that he still underestimated the power of this plague.
"Well, on the contrary, there are many fewer people who are established and Huang Lang. General, our strength is so weak, I am worried that Lili and Huang Lang will have different thoughts. Yang Xuan keenly thought of another, more serious problem.
"Don't worry, they won't." Qin Forget said firmly, "It's not that I trust their character, because the grain depot in the city and the warships outside the city are in our hands. If they dare to plot against it, we can burn down the granary, and then retreat to the warship and sail away, we have lost a city, and they can only wait here to die, they will not be so stupid. ”
"What the general said is reasonable, it's Lao Yang who thinks left." Yang Xuan thought about it and felt that this was the reason, so he nodded in agreement.
"What you say makes sense, it doesn't hurt to be careful." Qin Forget waved his hand, "There are two letters here, one is handed to Jin Cheng, asking him to do his best to raise medicinal materials and recruit Lang Zhong." One was handed to Zhao Qian and borrowed medicine from him. Lao Yang, you don't want to come back, I won't go back to Chicheng for the time being, I need someone to sit in the town over there, you know how to do it. ”
"What? The general is not going back? Hearing Qin Wang's words, Yang Xuan suddenly withdrew the hand that was about to receive the letter, "General, the plague is so violent, and you are not in good health, it is too dangerous to stay here, you go back, Lao Yang stays." ”
"Yang Xuan, don't fight. Now the new state is in our hands, but a widespread plague will devastate it in the future. The next thing is how to get through this difficult time and win the hearts and minds of the people of NSW and restore people's livelihood, which is not what you are good at. Besides, when you go back, you have to prepare me countless money, food, and medicinal herbs, and only your prestige can do this, which is the best arrangement. Yang Xuan's words moved Qin Xuan very much, but he still rejected Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan groaned slightly, he knew that what Qin Forgot said was reasonable, and he also understood Qin Forget's character, so he took the letter and didn't say anything more.
"After you go back, you will discuss with Yin Xian and the others, I know that you look down on them a little, but for the current Akagi, they are more suitable, and you must not cool their hearts." Qin Forget opened his mouth to admonish.
"Don't worry, general, I know in my heart." Yang Xuan nodded again and again, and agreed with a full mouth.
"Well, the situation in Akagi now won't be too much trouble as long as it doesn't go too far. It's over there in the three counties of Yunbei, you have to pay more attention. It's okay that Tiejianmen is obedient, if you dare to repeat it, you will directly send troops to kill them and Xu Guang and the others, now Xinzhou is already a mess, and we can't take over another one. As for the impact of those who have not been affected after the dispatch of troops, I can't take care of them for the time being
Finish. ”
"Well, after I go back, I will ask Huang Wushuang to put pressure on the Iron Sword Gate and let them pacify the Xu Guang Group as soon as possible. General, do you still want to transfer people from Akagi? Yang Xuan asked.
"Chicheng doesn't have enough people, so I'll transfer Gu Feng here, I'll use it here. In addition, I still need to transfer Liu Yang's army to the army. Qin Wangwei thought about it for a while and gave a candidate.
It was already noon, and Yang Xuan hurried back to Chicheng. Qin Forget walked in the camp, silently estimating the time in his heart, Yang Xuan went back, collected medicines, recruited Lang Zhong, and transported the materials back, it would take more than half a month to say the least, but Qin Forget felt that he couldn't wait so long.
On the way to the barracks, you can see at any time that patients are being carried into the medical camp by several soldiers with white cloths on their faces, and everyone is silent, except for the painful groans of the patients, there is not a single sound in the huge barracks. The atmosphere around him was extremely oppressive, which made Qin Forget very frightened, which gave him a sense of tranquility before the storm. He knew that morale was declining at a rapid rate, and he didn't know when these soldiers, who could no longer bear the fear and depression, would do something out of the ordinary.
He understood that it was time to do something.
Thinking about his thoughts, Qin Forget walked to the gate of the medical camp unconsciously.
When he looked up, he saw thousands of soldiers surrounding the medical camp. The soldiers were apparently uninfected, and their faces were covered with a snow-white cloth, covering their mouths and noses tightly.
They stood there silently, but they were all wound with their swords unsheathed, staring at the medical camp as if they were facing a great enemy.
"General, why are you here?" As soon as Qin Wanggang appeared, Liu Jian led people to meet him in stride.
"Lao Liu, what does this mean?" Qin Forget pointed at those soldiers and asked with a frown.
Liu Jian laughed miserably, "General, if those sick brothers are honest, it's okay, if they dare to rush out, then they can only use some means." ”
"Some means? What means? Realizing what Liu Jian meant, Qin Wang's face became ugly, and he almost coldly reprimanded Liu Jian and asked.
Seeing Qin Wang's expression, Liu Jian's heart was a little chilly, but the current situation made him unable to retreat, "General, if those brothers rush out, they can only infect more people, and their subordinates are incompetent, so they can only kill people and burn their bodies." Liu Jian stiffened his head and gritted his teeth and said.
"Murder? Cremators? Qin Forget was furious, and grabbed Liu Jian's collar with his hand, "They are your brothers!" You're going to kill them now? His eyes were as cold as knives, staring at Liu Jian deadly.
"The last general is incompetent, after this incident, if you want to kill or chop, the general will please, but this soldier, the last general will not retreat!" Even if there were thousands of grievances, Liu Jian gritted his teeth and endured it, and he said categorically.
Qin Wang's staring at Liu Jian for a long time, and finally pushed Liu Jian back hard, "Old Liu, I know that you can't help it, but I want you to know that your method is wrong." ”
After saying that, he strode towards the medical camp.
