Chapter 61: The Plague

A few days later, Zhang Xuan camped west.

Although it is now August, the continuous rainy weather has not eased at all.

Even if it rains less, there are still cloudy days, and it seems that God can give you a heavy rain at any time.

I don't want to camp in the wilderness anymore.

Chuang Ying decided to be stationed in Zhongmu County.

However, Zhongmu small county simply cannot afford the residence of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Among the army, outside Zhongmu County, the camp was re-established, and the camp tents were centered on Zhongmu County, spread out on all sides, and only the generals of the camp and Cao Ying in Zhongmu County could move in.

As for the people of Zhongmu, they naturally camp and live outside.

It's just that before Zhang Xuan entered the camp, he found a long convoy blocking the road, and there were corpses wrapped in straw mats on top of these flat cars, and even blood flowed from under the cars.

Zhang Xuan suddenly frowned, and said to Zhang Yuanhai beside him: "Go and see, what's going on?" How can there be so many dead people? ”

"Yes." Zhang Yuanhai said.

Zhang Xuan's first captain of the army, Qin Meng had already gone down to be the commander, and the newly expanded Bianbing, Zhou Fuchen also went down to be the commander.

If the people below can't see it now, the law that Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers will inevitably be promoted when he is the captain of his own soldiers is a fool, in fact, anything related to his future is very sensitive to anyone. It doesn't matter if it's ancient or modern.

Zhang Xuan originally wanted to choose one person from the old people in Nanyang at the beginning. But Zhang Zhen came over to intercede, and Zhang Xuan promoted this Zhang Yuanhai.

Zhang Yuanhai Linying people, and Linying Zhang are distant relatives, in fact, Linying Zhang's is not big, all of them add up to only a few hundred, among these hundreds of people, there are not many people who are really like fish in water in the army, and the most outstanding one is Zhang Yuanhai.

When attacking the city, there was a first achievement.

Don't underestimate the merit of climbing first, you can climb the city wall, and then you don't capture the city wall, and you can come back alive, which means that either this guy has good ability, or this guy is lucky. So Zhang Xuan chose Zhang Yuanhai.

If Zhang Xuan gives himself the rank in the Linying Zhang family, this Zhang Yuanhai wants to call Zhang Xuan a clan uncle. Moreover, Zhang Xuan's identity in the Zhang family is greasy, and only the three Zhang brothers know, so Zhang Yuanhai really treats Zhang Xuan as his own person.

Zhang Xuan didn't quite understand the clan thinking of the ancients, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling face. This big nephew is so attentive. Moreover, Zhang Zhen wanted Zhang Xuan to promote his family, and Zhang Yuanhai's own ability was also good, so Zhang Xuan asked Zhang Yuanhai to be the captain of his own soldiers.

In fact, this is also in line with the mainstream thinking of this era, almost none of the generals' personal soldiers are led by their own families, the so-called brothers who fight tigers, and fathers and sons who go into battle.

Zhang Yuan

Hai came back after a while and said, "Uncle---"

"Call the General." Zhang Xuan said: "The army is commensurate with military rank. ”

"Yes." Zhang Yuanhai said, and then he looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "There is an epidemic in the camp. ”

Zhang Xuan was suddenly startled, and then thought: "After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic. The Yellow River lacks land, millions of people drowned, and on the Yellow River, there are as many corpses as fish, and then it rains continuously, and there are times of epidemics in the army. Just the plague ---"

A hint of horror flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

The modern plague has been far away from the lives of ordinary people, even in that 04 years, in fact, there were not many deaths, of course, this kind of not many people died, compared with ancient times. With the outbreak of the plague in ancient times, the dead people in the whole city, and now that little plague is nothing at all.

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered: "Pass the order, and the whole army will retreat ten miles back and camp." ”

Zhang Xuan decided not to camp with the army, he has the strictest military law in the army, and there are special health regulations, of course, Zhang Xuan formulated it, and the army may not implement it to the letter. But the most basic thing is to carry it out, such as drinking hot water from top to bottom of the whole army. For example, the feces are treated intensively. Wait a minute.

In addition, Zhang Xuan was also sick.

As soon as Zhang Xuan fell ill, Luo Yujiao immediately called Li Zhengfang, the best doctor in the rebel army, Zhang Xuan's health was not good, so Li Zhengfang was not allowed to leave. Zhang Xuan's illness is a small problem for Li Zhengfang, and he wants to leave after prescribing medicine, but you don't want to reason with a woman.

Li Zhengfang had to stay for a few days, waiting for Zhang Xuan to be almost well before leaving.

However, Li Zhengfang has not been idle in the past few days.

Li Zhengfang is indeed the heart of the doctor's parents, he came, and everyone in Zhang Xuan's camp who had a little problem on his body came to see the doctor. Li Zhengfang can be said to be a cure for the disease. Even the signs of the epidemic have been brought under control.

But breaking into the camp is different.

There are many old and weak people who break into the camp, much more than in Zhang Xuan's camp, and the old and weak in Zhang Xuan's camp are also grouped, everyone has their own direct boss, and they go directly to Zhang Xuan, once someone dies below, Zhang Xuan can know.

But the camp did not have such organizational skills.

The old man died first, and everyone didn't care.

Because in the midst of marching and fighting, these old people could not bear it, which is a common thing, and it is not surprising. Later, a young man died within a day or two, which attracted the attention of the upper echelons, and at this moment Li Zhengfang also came over and immediately diagnosed it as an epidemic.

Zhang Xuan asked Cao Zongyu to set up camp, and he took Luo Dai and Zhang Yuanhai to meet Luo Rucai first.

Luo Rucai was worried, and he didn't have time to talk to Zhang Xuan in detail, and the time he was worried about was the epidemic.

Luo Rucai saw Zhang Xuan coming, and said: "It's just right, Doctor Li, the means of dealing with the epidemic in your camp are quite effective, you can go."

Find Dr. Li and go and help. ”

"Yes." Zhang Xuan immediately agreed, asked where Li Zhengfang was, and immediately went to look for it, but before he got to the place, he heard Li Zhengfang arguing with a person. "You can't do this, they're saved, they're saved." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan heard it, he knew that it was Li Zhengfang's voice.

Zhang Xuan walked over, but saw that in a row of tents, Li Zhengfang was standing in the middle to stop dozens of armor soldiers.

Zhang Xuan's heart moved, and he secretly said in his heart: "This is the general's personal soldier." ”

Armor is a good thing, not to mention the righteous army, even among the official army, there are very few soldiers, and most of the soldiers who are equipped with armor are the personal soldiers of certain generals.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan walked over and said, "How dare you treat Doctor Li like this, it's too rude?" You are not afraid that you will get sick in the future, and Doctor Li will stand by and watch you. Who are you from? ”

"My people." The group of armor soldiers cracked, but saw a man approaching. Zhang Xuan saw that it was Liu Zongmin. Zhang Xuan immediately saluted and said, "I've seen General Liu." ”

Although Zhang Xuan has no affiliation with Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin is the right-hand man of King Chuang, and his prestige in the rebel army is very high.

"What's wrong with Cao Ying's horse?" Liu Zongmin said with a bit of yin and yang weirdness: "When, the people I broke into the camp will also want you Cao Ying to take care of." ”

"I don't dare." Zhang Xuan said, he seemed to be a little used to the tone of the Ming Dynasty, and said: "Doctor Li is a person from my Cao Ying, and there are countless people living in the righteous army, no matter what, these people should not be rude to him." ”

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he turned his head and said, "Did I let you be rude to Divine Doctor Li?" ”

"No ---," the voice of the armorer behind him was a little low.

Liu Zongmin snorted and said, "Open your mouth." ”

"Smack, smack, smack." Behind Liu Zongmin, dozens of armor soldiers opened their bows left and right, greeting them in the face.

"Alright, alright." Li Zhengfang couldn't stand it at first, and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why is it like this." ”

But these armorers still did not dare to stop. After a dozen solid slaps, everyone's face was swollen into a pig's head.

Liu Zongmin said: "Doctor Li has interceded for you, so stop." ”

"Thank you, Doctor Li." Dozens of armor soldiers said together.

"However, what needs to be done, we still have to do it." Liu Zongmin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

"General Liu, they are still saved." Li Zhengfang said with a pleading look on his face.

Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of the blood that flowed from the car when he first entered the camp. Immediately it occurred to me: "Those people did not die of the plague, but were killed."
