Chapter 333: Outbreak of Plague
It was another two days, looking at the dense chaos of people under the city, Qin Forget was simply one head and two big.
"Lao Cheng, these people are really like locusts, they can't be killed and can't be dispersed." Qin Forget smiled helplessly, in the past few days, he has followed behind the establishment with a dead face, and Qin Forget is very familiar with the establishment of the establishment of the old Cheng.
The establishment is also bitter, "I also suppressed refugees in the early years, these people want to defeat it is very easy, but if they are defeated once, they will come again, the key is still those core characters of the rebels, as long as they are not completely exterminated, even if a few hundred people escape, it will not be long before they can easily pull up a team of tens of thousands of people to make a comeback." General Qin, you see, Wang Tian was a lot more careful this time, and set his Chinese army behind the chaotic people, and his posture was to use those chaotic people as cannon fodder to drag us to death. ”
Qin Forget looked in the direction of the establishment point, isn't it, Wang Tian's Blood Lotus Sect soldiers lost half of them in the last battle, and the camp was much smaller, but this time he accepted the lesson, the camp was extremely strong, and there were countless chaotic people in front of him. It's just that those camps of the rebels are far away from his camp of the Chinese army and are not put together. It seems that he is afraid that he will be blocked by these chaotic people again.
"This Wang Tian is the younger brother of Wang Gan in Yingzhou, and he is also a character from the last war, and his military command ability is very good, but he is a little arrogant. Lao Cheng, what should we do this time? Qin Forget retracted his gaze and asked if the plan was established.
"What does General Qin think?" He didn't answer, but asked Qin to forget. To say that Qin Forget has been following the establishment like a good student these days, and he has to ask everything clearly, and he has a posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end. Whether he wants to establish it or not, he slowly enters the role of a teacher, and when he asks this, it is somewhat of a test.
Qin Forget smiled slightly, he keenly grasped the meaning of the establishment words, but this was also what he had always hoped for, and he didn't say anything, "I think it should be stubborn." There are still 20,000 soldiers in my city, of which there are more than 4,000 strong ironclad soldiers in Lao Cheng, plus Huang Lang's cavalry to help, and he has also won a big victory for the first time, and his morale is high, and it is not difficult to defeat the hundreds of thousands of rabble on the opposite side. But killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself, at this time it is a bit incompatible with them. Last time we burned their grain and grass, I don't know where Wang Tian got the grain again, but you see that their logistics camp is not very large, and presumably there will not be a lot of grain and grass. Huang Ling has already cut off their grain route in Montenegro County, and it won't be long before their grain and grass will be exhausted, and we can naturally win without a fight. As long as we can withstand the first few attacks, it shouldn't be a problem. It's just that when Wang Tian learned that the grain road behind him was cut off, their attack would reach an unprecedented intensity. ”
Qin Forget talked eloquently and said everything in his heart. His words were really shocking
Li, Gu Zhizhi knows, the young man in front of him has indeed not experienced any real battles, but these old words can catch up with the average general of a hundred battles.
"The general is talented, and the establishment is admired. It's just that after standing here for a while, I can actually see the reality in Wang Tianjun. In particular, the lack of food and grass is really amazing. The general is so young, but he has such a calm mind, and he will become a generation of famous generals with a little training in the future. Thinking that the general would clench his fists at such a young age, he would inevitably be sharp, and I thought that the general would say something to kill out of the city in one go, so Cheng would be relieved. The establishment was unabashedly admiring.
Qin Forget smiled slightly, "General Cheng praised it falsely, Qin's surviving experience tells me that it is the best policy to be safe in everything, naturally, you still have to take risks when you should take risks." Qin has a lot to learn, and I don't know if General Cheng can teach me all the time. After speaking, a pair of bright eyes looked at the establishment sincerely.
He didn't know what Qin Forget meant, he just smiled and didn't want to say more. Why didn't he want to leave Zhao Qian, who he didn't value, and join Qin Wang, but after staying under the system all his life, he knew that this matter was really difficult. If you talk casually now, you can only invite trouble for yourself.
Qin Wang's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he didn't say anything more, a good meal is not afraid of being late, he is determined to be established, but he is not in a hurry. If the establishment immediately agreed, he was a little uneasy, anyway, the temple of the Akagi Group is still small, and it is difficult to easily put down the body of this big Buddha.
The next few days were a bit lackluster.
It's just that Wang Tian has waved his army several times to storm the city of Yuma County, but with his rabble, he wants to break through the walls with sufficient troops and thick walls, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. That is, when Wang Tian knew that the back grain road was cut off, he recklessly strengthened the offensive to bring a little threat to the county city of Yinma. However, under the defense of more than 4,000 ironclad troops and the reasonable command of the establishment, Yinma County has turned danger into danger many times and is still impregnable.
There was no pressure militarily, but even greater trouble loomed.
"General Qin, something happened!" Early in the morning, he strode into Qin Wang's tent, his face was sinking like water, and he was followed by a thin old man who looked like a military doctor.
Qin Forget put down the bowl in his hand, got up and saluted the establishment, and actually treated him as a teacher.
"Lao Cheng, what's wrong, but that Wang Tian has repeatedly?"
"Wang Tian has retreated last night, and the trouble is not him. Let's ask Dr. Li in our army to tell you more about it. He sighed and forgot to return the gift.
Looking at Qin Wanghu's suspicious eyes, the military doctor surnamed Li was concise and to the point, "General Qiyu, there is a plague in the army.
"What? Pestilence? Qin Forget was taken aback, and couldn't help but shout, "What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!" ”
No wonder Qin Forget made a fuss, since ancient times, the plague has represented death, that is, complete destruction. In all dynasties, there was no good cure for the plague, and the only thing that could be done was to isolate the people in the disaster area and leave them to fend for themselves. What's more, simply killing all living creatures in the disaster area and burning them clean is just to prevent the spread of the plague, and the price is the lives of countless ordinary people. If you want to cure the plague, there are many difficulties, and the best way is to prevent it, but unfortunately the plague has already broken out.
"General Qiyu, the plague first broke out among the captives of the rebels. They then passed on to our soldiers who were guarding them, and those soldiers unknowingly passed on to others. So far, more than 500 people have fallen ill. Doctor Li hurriedly explained the current situation to Qin Wang.
"Well, blame me for being careless. That Wang Tian has been wreaking havoc in Xinzhou for several months, killing corpses all over the field without taking care of the aftermath, plus now that there is more July and a lot of rain, it is already easy to break out of the plague and capture so many people, I didn't even think of this. The establishment next to him couldn't help but blame himself.
After listening to the two of them, Qin Forget took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, "Lao Cheng, you don't have to blame yourself, we have been busy dealing with Wang Tian in the past half a month, how can we think of so much." Doctor Li, I just want to ask you, can you control it? After speaking, Qin Forget looked at Doctor Li with burning eyes.
Doctor Li smiled bitterly, his dry old face wrinkled into old bark, "General, this plague came too violently, five hundred people fell in two days, and we don't know how many people may be infected." The most important thing is that my Tongzhou army is marching outside, and the departure is in a hurry, and the old man only came and brought some medicine to treat external injuries, but there is no medicine to treat the plague. ”
As soon as he heard Doctor Li say this, Qin Forget suddenly became anxious, "Then you can't do nothing and watch your brothers die, right?" ”
"Now General Cheng has sent people to isolate those infected sergeants, and the people who came into contact with these patients are also being investigated. In the absence of medicine, the old decay can only clean up their daily necessities, and temporarily relieve their condition with boiling water and ginger. He also asked the general to find a way to mobilize special medicine as soon as possible. There is a list of medicinal herbs here, and several of the medicines on it are specialized in treating the plague. After Doctor Li finished speaking, he handed Qin Forget a long piece of paper with both hands.
Qin Forget took it and took a cursory glance, it was written more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials such as honeysuckle, codonopsis, angelica, etc., "Okay, then it's hard Doctor Li, leave this matter to me, and I will prepare it as soon as possible." ”
