The capital of Liaodong.

Mao Wenlong stood in the courtyard for a full hour and never saw him move. I kept staring at the dead tree in front of me, and I didn't know where my mind flew. Haoda in the distance wanted to step forward to interrupt Mao Wenlong's thinking, but it was always at the last moment, thinking that Mao Wenlong would come to his senses after waiting a little longer.

Wait a little longer, wait and wait, and another hour will pass, and Mao Wenlong has no sign of coming back to his senses. Haoda couldn't sit still, made up his mind, took a big stride behind Mao Wenlong, bowed down and clenched his fists and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong said first: "Haoda, why do you say that a terrible plague suddenly occurred in Tashanwei? ”

It had to start three days ago, and at first, no one cared about the sudden stomach pull of the defenders of the Tower Mountain Guard. It wasn't until a day later, when all the 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were infected, that everyone paid attention to it.

But by this time it was too late, and only three days had passed, and half of Tashanwei's 2,000 Dongjiang troops had already died. Mao Wenlong has sent more than a dozen Langzhong, but there has been no response after he went.

Lang Zhong either escaped or died in Tashanwei, and as a last resort, Mao Wenlong had to order the entire Tashanwei to be blocked to prevent the plague inside from spreading to other places.

What Mao Wenlong never understood was why the plague suddenly happened in Tashanwei, which had always been good, and it happened so suddenly, which caught people off guard. If you want to say that this plague is naturally formed, you don't believe it when you kill Mao Wenlong.

There must always be a warning before a plague breaks out, but the plague of Tashanwei happened without any warning. Mao Wenlong had to suspect that this was man-made, and who would create the plague at this time was nothing more than those Liaodong troops who suddenly disappeared for several days.

Haoda was dumbfounded by Mao Wenlong's question, if he knew that there would be a plague in Tashanwei, he would naturally inform Mao Wenlong of the embankment in advance. But the problem is that he is not an immortal, and he cannot be a prophet at all.

"Chief soldier, although there is a serious plague in Tashanwei, no one can predict this kind of thing. Fortunately, the plague has been controlled in Tashanwei and has not spread, which is already a blessing in misfortune, please don't worry too much about the general soldiers. Haoda could only try his best to persuade Mao Wenlong.

"Alas......"

Mao Wenlong suddenly sighed lightly, and then said: "What I am most afraid of is that this plague did not occur naturally at all, but someone made it secretly. If I am unlucky, do you still think that this plague can still be contained in Tashanwei? ”

"This ......" Haoda once again did not know what to do.

After Mao Wenlong Chen Si for a while, he instructed Haoda: "Send someone to call Chen Jisheng and Chengzuo back immediately, and inform them that they have important matters to discuss, and they must not be delayed!" ”

"Yes, Commander." Haoda didn't dare to slack off, and after receiving the order, he hurriedly retreated to make arrangements.

Two days later, Chen Jisheng and Chengzuo hurried back, and the 50,000-strong army was already stationed in Jianzhouwei to prevent the spread of the plague in Tashanwei.

After Mao Wenlong saw the two of them, he said bluntly on the spot: "I suspect that the plague in Tashanwei this time is caused by people, do you think it is possible?" ”

Cheng Zuo didn't think about it, so he replied: "My subordinates also think so, this plague came too suddenly, and there was no warning beforehand. ”

Chen Jisheng said even more viciously: "Chief soldier, could it be the Liaodong Army that is hiding?" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "At present, only those Liaodong troops have this motive. However, my concern for the moment is not about who did it, but about the fact that the plague is man-made, and that there is a good chance that it will break out elsewhere. ”

Cheng Zuo suddenly exclaimed: "The chief soldier is saying that this plague will be spread outside Tashanwei!" ”

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "There is no doubt that as long as the plague is man-made, then there is a high probability that my guess just now will appear." ”

"So how do we prevent it?" Chen Jisheng asked stunned.

No one can afford the horror of the plague, and Tashanwei was isolated from the world because of a small plague, which directly caused 2,000 Dongjiang troops to be trapped in the guard. Now half of the people are dead, and the remaining half, if they have not been effectively treated, then death is not far away.

Chen Jisheng felt both angry and helpless, he was not afraid of how tragic the battle was, but in the face of these invisible enemies, it was terrifying.

"Prevention, that's impossible."

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "Before we find the real mastermind behind the scenes, we can only start from ourselves." No one is allowed to eat the water from outside, and all the drinking water in the cities is dug into wells, and all the people and soldiers must drink the water from the wells we have dug ourselves. And these wells must be guarded every day to make sure that no one can put anything in the well water. ”

This method is a precautionary method that Mao Wenlong spent two hours thinking of.

Cheng Zuo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "The general soldier's method is absolutely feasible." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand to stop Cheng Zuo's sycophants, and continued: "It's just a matter of drinking water, during this period, all cities must be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. In addition to these problems, the mosquitoes, rats, and flies in the city must be exterminated. When it comes to the spread of the plague, these pests are definitely the best way to spread it. ”

Cheng Zuo nodded frequently when he heard this, and he simply took a pen and recorded it all. Chen Jisheng seemed indifferent, after listening to Mao Wenlong say so much, he never heard the question of how to arrange the arrest of the mastermind behind the scenes.

In Chen Jisheng's view, these guys who spread the plague behind the scenes are the key, as long as they can get rid of these guys. You don't have to worry about the plague spreading in Liaodong anymore!

"Chief soldier, let Cheng Zuo do the things he prevents, he does better than anyone else in this regard. But we can't just take precautions, we should also take the initiative to take a two-pronged approach to better prevent the spread of the plague. Chen Jisheng hugged his fists and said to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong glanced at Chen Jisheng and chuckled: "You're right, passive defense is not the best policy. The spread of the plague is mainly behind those behind the scenes, and only by getting rid of those people can the spread of the plague be truly eliminated. “

"Is there a way for the general soldier to get these guys out?" Chen Jisheng looked at Mao Wenlong with hope.

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "No, we can't be sure whether this plague is secretly being dropped by someone at this time. Not to mention what is behind the scenes at this time. ”

Chen Jisheng's face was full of disappointment: "In this way, we can only take precautions on our own bodies, and we can't do anything else at all." ”
