Chapter 241: The Poison of Miasma

It turns out that the city of Jingnan Mansion is built on the mountain, and there are countless swamps under this mountain, which looks inconspicuous, but once you fall into it, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can only be slowly swallowed up, unless someone is next to you with a long pole rope to help.

Therefore, I don't know how many people and beasts died here, and those bones fell into the swamp for a long time to turn into poisonous gas and smoke, and if you accidentally inhaled it, you would faint at least and die at worst.

The locals know all this, so they would rather walk dozens of miles to avoid these swamps, and this Jingnan Mansion is built on the high mountains of the swamps, and if you want to bypass it, you must pass through it, and the end is the throat point.

And now that Wang Qing is stationed here with a large army, it is clear that he is going to fight a long-term battle with the officers and soldiers, in fact, this is also a great loss for their Chu State, which is equivalent to closing the country, and can no longer communicate and do business with the outside world, and they have to lose an unknown amount of money every day, but what can they do? Even Du Yan was defeated, who would dare to fight?

This kind of thing is rarely known except for the locals, Ye Ling is impossible to know even if he is very capable, and this place has already been cleared by the people of the Chu State, and the few residents in the vicinity have also been forcibly taken away, for fear that some of them will leak their secrets.

Therefore, Ye Ling and their army set off from Shannan Mansion, and went straight to Jingnan Mansion, and they frowned when they encountered the swampy terrain along the way, this road is too difficult to walk, and the narrow place can only pass through the war horses one by one, and the swamp is full of dangers, and I don't know where I suddenly fell into it.

Fortunately, this is the army, and everyone can support each other, otherwise I am afraid that hundreds of people would have died in the swamp on the first day, which made everyone in a cold sweat.

But they don't know that the real trouble is just beginning.

That night, the army easily cut down trees and grass, and made an open field to set up camp, but officers of all levels came to report that many of their brothers had suddenly fainted.

At first, the senior generals didn't pay much attention to it, but now it's June, the weather is extremely hot, the army is so hard, and some people suffer from heat stroke, but as the number of people continues to increase, everyone finally realizes the seriousness of the problem.

Especially among the soldiers who fainted that night, more than 200 people could not be saved no matter what medicine was used, and finally died of illness.

Ye Ling immediately made a decision and ordered the army to withdraw to Shannan Mansion immediately, and when they rushed back the next day, the number of people who fainted or fell ill had reached as many as 3,000, including Sun An, Qiong Ying, Shi Qian and many other generals.

Ye Ling hurriedly asked his subordinates to invite all the Lang Zhong people within a radius of 100 miles, all kinds of medicines, needle stones, and massage methods, and finally rescued most of them, but there were still more than 300 people with weak physique who died too late to rescue, even if they were cured, their bodies were very weak, and it seemed that they would definitely not be able to recover without resting for ten days and half a month.

This made everyone break out in a cold sweat on their backs, and they lost more than 500 soldiers in just one day, which was fortunate because Ye Ling made a quick decision, if it was a day or two more than that, the number of dead people would probably be five or even ten times.

At this time, the situation about the cause of the disease was finally investigated, although the Chu State had already cleared all the residents around the swamp, but there were always some people who were missed for various reasons, and they told Ye Ling and the others that the root cause of this abnormality was that they inhaled the miasma released by the swamp during the march, and then they were poisoned.

Then Ye Ling and the others hurriedly asked if there was any medicine, but everyone looked at each other, saying that they had no antidote to this poison, and at most it was only one or two alleviations, so they asked Ye Ling to find another good doctor.

There are countless fierce generals who have captured the flag here, but when it comes to medical skills, they can only stare at each other with big eyes, and this time not only people are recruited, but even war horses are no exception, there are more than a thousand war horses are foaming at the mouth, which is very critical.

Ye Ling remembered the horse doctor Huangpu Duan recommended by Zhang Qing at this time, and hurriedly asked Dai Zong to return to the mountain and brought him over, Huangpu Duan deserved to be an expert in this area, and immediately prescribed a prescription after seeing the symptoms of the war horse, and then everyone took the medicine according to the prescription, and the poisoned war horse quickly recovered.

All the generals were overjoyed, and hurriedly asked if Huangpu Duan had a prescription to treat people, but Huangpu Duan could only smile bitterly and shake his head, this art industry has a specialty, although he is extremely proficient in horses, but he is a complete layman to people.

However, Huangpu Duan also recommended a person, this person's name is An Daoquan, who is an ancestral famous doctor in Jiankang Mansion, who is very good at both internal and surgical medicine, and has the name of a miracle doctor.

Hearing An Daoquan's name, Dai Zong also suddenly remembered that he had heard him mention it when he sent Du Yan and them back to the mountain before, that Wang Qing was assassinated in Shaanzhou at that time, and there were also two lines of gold seals on his face.

Ye Ling naturally knew An Daoquan's name, which was also the only one among the one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan, so he immediately asked Dai Zong to bring a reward of one hundred taels of gold to Jiankang Mansion and invite An Daoquan.

You must know that Ye Ling's identity is now an important minister of the imperial court, and An Daoquan is just a folk langzhong, how dare not come? What's more, there was such a generous honorarium, so he came with Dai Zong a few days later.

Ye Ling personally met with An Daoquan and asked him to solve the problem of miasma poison, An Daoquan carefully studied the situation of those patients, and went to the swamp scene to see it and said with a wry smile: "Tell Lord Du, the poison of this miasma is very powerful, and the villain has no choice." ”

Hearing this, Dong Ping immediately became anxious, when had they suffered such a big loss since they began to conquer the Jin Kingdom? Before they saw the enemy, they lost more than 500 people, hundreds of good horses, and thousands of people were also tossed enough, and what was even more troublesome was that the swamp was in front of them, if they couldn't solve this problem, they couldn't continue to attack Wang Qing.

The faces of the other short-tempered generals such as Suo Chao and Bian Xiang were also ugly, An Daoquan was startled, and hurriedly suggested again: "But the villain knows that there is a medicine treasure book, which was written by Hua Tuo, a divine doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there should be a way to solve the poison of this miasma, but I heard that this book fell into the hands of Xiao Whirlwind Chai Jin, a son of a wealthy family in Cangzhou Mansion, and adults can go there and ask." ”

Hearing that there was a clue, Dong Ping and the others let An Daoquan go, and then they suggested that they quickly send someone to Chai Jin to ask for this book, but they were stopped by Ye Ling waving his hand.
