Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang worked together to inform each camp one by one overnight. Liu Xie didn't have to go in person, just let his generals do it, but he still didn't feel at ease.

It was busy until midnight, and it was only when it was notified, and the bright sentry, the dark sentry, the mobile sentry, and the arrow tower were all notified, and the vigilance was greatly strengthened.

When he returned to the imperial camp, it was already the second half of the night, Zhen Mi had already fallen asleep and was woken up by him, but he still finished sleeping.

Early the next morning, Liu Xie was sleeping soundly in the imperial camp, and was woken up by the noise outside.

Xiao Luozi said outside: "Your Majesty, it is Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other generals who are waiting outside. ”

Knowing that the emperor favored the harem and would come to disturb him early in the morning, it must be something important, so he said to Xiao Luozi: "Let them wait in the front tent, I will be there soon." ”

So he got up and dressed, and when he came to the account a moment later, he saw that the generals were already waiting. Liu Xie asked: "You guys come together like this, something big must have happened!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Yes, Your Majesty, we found that some soldiers have diarrhea. ”

"Diarrhea?" Liu Xie was shocked, "How many people have diarrhea?" ”

He was worried that there might be an epidemic in the army, and if that happened, it would be a very bad thing for the Han army.

Zhuge Liang said: "So far, more than 1,000 people have diarrhea, and it is very serious. Some of the soldiers couldn't get up anymore. ”

Liu Xie asked: "Strategist, with your experience, what do you think will be the reason?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It may be that the water and soil are not adapted, but this is unlikely, because even if the water and soil are not adapted, it will not be so serious." There are military doctors who are conducting research. ”

"Can the military doctor figure it out?" Liu Xie asked, after all, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, how can there be modern laboratory measures like the post-1700s?

Zhuge Liang said: "There is a senior disciple of the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing, he should be able to detect the cause of the disease." ”

Liu Xie asked: "Will there be an outbreak of the epidemic?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "No, because the epidemic is contagious, and this large-scale outbreak of diarrhea is not contagious." ”

Liu Xie thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought, why did it take for the rice to rise last night and the city cow Li ran away, could it be ......

"Someone poisoned?" Liu Xie asked in surprise.

Zhuge Liang said: "Wechen is also suspicious of this, so just now Wechen has ordered the whole army not to drink the local water for the time being." Now wait for the military doctor to make the decision on the left. ”

As he spoke, a soldier reported that the military doctor asked to see him. Liu Xie hurriedly summoned in.

The military doctor came in and said, "Your Majesty, the diarrhea of the soldiers in the army should be caused by poison in the drinking water. ”

If the water source is poisonous, it will be a very troublesome thing for the march.

Liu Xie said: "Sure enough, it's poisoning!" Is all the drinking water in the neighborhood poisonous? It is impossible for all water sources to be polluted, and how much poisoning is required to achieve this effect! ”

The military doctor said: "There is a river near our army, and Wei Chen has already gone to check it just now, and the water of the entire river is polluted. ”

Liu Xie took the case, "How is this possible!" A river is polluted, how much poison does it take! ”

The military doctor said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't believe it either, but this is indeed the case!" ”

Liu Xie asked the soldiers to summon the local people to come and inquire about it, and ordered to prepare to dig wells for water, and at the same time ordered to prepare for the search for new water sources.

Although the possibility of the entire river being polluted is very small, it is better to believe it than not, after all, there are 50,000 Han soldiers here!

Zhuge Liang said: "This is simply unbelievable, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that we need to pull out the village, the river water here cannot be drunk, we have to go forward and find other water sources." ”

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Strategist, the enemy can poison a drink, do you think he won't poison it again before we find the next water source." He has the ability to poison a river with a single poison, this is simply a terrifying-level existence. ”

After that, he asked the military doctor again: "Does the poisoned soldier affect his life?" ”

The military doctor said: "At present, it is difficult to make a judgment, I must get a sample of the poison before it is possible to develop an antidote." ”

Liu Xie paced and said: "Nanshengmi and Urban Niu Li escaped, and a poisoning incident broke out immediately after, so these two people are the most suspicious, and they are very likely to carry poison." And the two of them are the messengers of the Evil Horse Terrace, but now they can't catch the two of them......"

Zhao Yun said: "The two of them have poison, which means that the queen of Yamatai, Himiko, must have poison and antidote!" So Weichen thought that he would go and destroy Yamatai now. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Zilong makes sense to say this, now spread my will, and the whole army is ready to go out at any time!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a suspicion. ”

Liu Xie said: "The military advisor said. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The poison of difficult rice is so domineering, why didn't he poison it when he sent my Han?" As long as a little bit is put in the moat of Luoyang, it will poison a large number of people in Luoyang. ”

Liu Xie said: "This is also where my doubts lie. ”

As she was talking, Concubine Ming asked to see her.

Concubine Ming is a widow, but she is a member of the dog slave country, and she is a hostile country to Yamatai, will she know the answer? Thinking of this, he said, "Announce her in." ”

After a while, Concubine Ming came in and knelt down and said, "The concubine sees Your Majesty." ”

"Flat body, give a seat, Concubine Ming, I asked you, you asked to see me last night, is there anything important?"

Concubine Ming said: "It's Your Majesty, the concubine wanted to see Your Majesty last night, and she really had something urgent to report, but Your Majesty refused to see me, and put the concubine under house arrest, so it has been delayed until now." ”

When Concubine Ming said this, she obviously contained resentment.

Liu Xie said: "Don't you know the rules of my Han harem? When I am fortunate to have a concubine, no other concubine is allowed to come and disturb me. If you have something important, why don't you make it clear to Mr. Luo? Let him tell me? Do you have any complaints? ”

Concubine Ming said: "Because this matter is very important, I must tell Your Majesty in person." But later, when the concubine wanted to let Mr. Luo relay it, His Majesty didn't give me a chance. ”

"Okay, can you say something?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Concubine Ming, "last night, the concubine received a message from my father......"

"Wait a minute, my Han camp is heavily guarded, how did your father send the message?"

Concubine Ming said: "Flute sound." ”

"Flute?" Liu Xie asked suspiciously.

"Yes, flute sound," Concubine Ming said, "only a few people in my Beimi family have this ability, and this kind of flute sound cannot be heard by ordinary people." ”
