Gan Ning had nearly 10,000 sailors under his command, but this time he was in a hurry, so he only brought 5,000 sailors to pursue.

Gan Ning allocated 2,000 people to Li Jun to camp on the shore and explore the situation on the island. He himself took a fleet of ships and patrolled the island.

Of course, Gan Ning didn't know that this was an island at this time, but he thought it was a peninsula, and he wanted to take the fleet to the back to intercept it to prevent the Sun family from escaping.

As a result, it turned around and returned to square one. Only then did he realize that this was an island. He was even happier, on this island, if the Sun family did not have a boat, they would not be able to escape.

He had just taken a look, and the nearest nearby islands were more than ten miles away, and it would be difficult to swim through them without a boat. Gan Ning sent people to the nearby islands to reconnoitre, to see if there were any ships on the nearby islands, so as not to be missed, so that he could find out that he controlled the island and escaped.

In addition, Ganning sent a ship to the west to reconnoitre, and he wanted to determine his location. If you are on the sea in Xuzhou, you have to sail south to avoid being attacked by Xuzhou's army.

Because at this time, there were very few people sailing on the sea, so there was no positioning instrument for sea navigation, and there was no sextant or anything like that. They are all used on land, such as the position of the sun, the position of the stars, and so on.

That's why Gan Ning will conduct reconnaissance in advance, because the reconnaissance ship needs to be found for a while if it wants to come back. The sea is slim, there is no reference, it is difficult to recall.

After confirming that the Sun clan was on this island, Gan Ning took Pan Zhang to log in, leaving Li Jun to defend the ship and prevent the Sun clan from escaping the ship. The reason why he took Pan Zhang to keep Li Jun was intentional for Gan Ning, he was afraid that Pan Zhang would be soft-hearted for a while and let Sun go.

Li Jun had already sent someone to find the Sun family's gathering place before, and Gan Ning directly led people to rush over.

However, after arriving at the gathering place, Gan Ning found that the Sun family no longer had 3,000 people, and 2,000 people were insufficient. What's going on?

He summoned the soldiers who had been investigating before and asked, "Why are there so few people in the Sun family?" Does the Sun family live anywhere else? ”

The soldier replied, "This is only one, but I have found a graveyard on a hillside, and there are at least a thousand graves." ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he was also stunned, so many people died? What's going on? Gan Ning quickly thought of the plague, so he found a brave soldier, wearing a white cloth coat prepared by the doctor, which was a protective clothing made in accordance with Zhang Yi's official regulations, boiled in boiling water before use, divided into four parts: shirt, pants, socks, and hat, and tied it with ropes after wearing it, leaving only the eyes to see things.

After getting dressed, the soldier walked into Sun's camp.

The people of the Sun clan also discovered this soldier, and many people looked at this strangely dressed person in horror, only some brave soldiers came up and wanted to attack.

"Don't be impatient!" Then the soldier hurriedly signaled that he had no hostile intentions, "I am Zhang Zhendong's envoy, and I want to see General Sun Shubi." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were even more hostile, but they did not attack him. Someone went to report it, and when he returned, he was taken into a tall barracks.

After entering the barracks, the soldiers saw Sun Yi, but Sun Yi was already sick in bed, and a thin woman was taking care of him.

The woman helped Sun Yi up, and Sun Yi asked the soldier, "Why did you come to see me?" ”

The soldier said: "I am under the command of General Gan Xingba, your ships have been captured by us, and General Gan Xingba has also led people to surround you. Originally, we wanted to attack, but we found that you seem to have an epidemic, so we sent me over to check it out. ”

Sun Yi said weakly: "If you want to attack, then you can attack, why are you talking nonsense?" ”

The soldier said, "If you have the strength to fight again, I will not come in." A month ago, Zhang Zhendong had married the general's sister, and the general was my father-in-law's brother-in-law. Now that the general can't support it, it's better to return to Shouchun with us and reunite with his family. ”

"Even if I die, I won't return to Shouchun!" Sun Yi still said stiffly.

The soldier said, "General Endless has no way out, why be so stubborn? ”

Sun Yi said: "Only death, why be afraid? ”

At this time, a general came in from outside, and it was Sun Jing. Sun Jing was also a little weak, but she still put on her helmet and armor, and after coming in, she said to the soldiers: "You go back and tell Gan Ning that my Sun people are not afraid of death." ”

The soldier said, "Why does the Sun family need to die? General Sun Zhongmou was in Shouchun, and General Sun Guoyi was in Xuchang, both of whom were rewarded, and there was no shortage of glory. Now that General Shubi is in a difficult situation and the epidemic is rampant in the camp, don't you think about the families of your subordinates? ”

Sun Jing said: "We have been infected for two months, and it is impossible to survive. ”

The soldier said: "My father-in-law is preparing to establish a medical department in Shouchun, which has begun to take shape. There are famous doctors such as Sun Simiao, and there are also immortals (not necessarily immortals, but also some masters who live in the mountains) Ge Hong, who is a person with superb medical skills. As long as the general and others arrive in Shouchun, there is a possibility of healing. ”

Sun Jing pondered, he looked at Sun Yi who was falling down, and thought about the three sons who were also like this, "It's okay!" You go back and tell Gan Ning that we have descended! ”

"Uncle!" Sun Yi screamed.

Sun Jing said to Sun Yi: "Shubi, I can't watch you and your brothers die like this!" ”

When Sun Yi heard this, he also lowered his head.

The soldiers hurriedly returned, and Gan Ning first mobilized the medical craftsmen and specially poured out a few large ships to accommodate the seriously ill. Those who were mildly ill were arranged on the fighting boat, and first cleaned up their personal hygiene, boiled water for bathing, and boiled their clothes.

The healer also boiled the medicine he had brought, gave it to those who were seriously ill, and when they were a little better, they began to prepare to leave the island.

The ship came back, and after hearing the report, Gan Ning's face became strange. They were not to the east of Xuzhou, but to the east of Wu County. From the island to the west, more than 100 miles is Wu County, but because it is too far away, there is no way to see it.

Knowing the approximate location, Gan Ning immediately set off with the fleet, set off towards Wu County, went northwest, and entered along the river.

Ten days later, he finally returned to the mouth of the water.

The reason why it took so much time was for the sake of these patients, and every time they arrived in a county along the way, they would collect medicinal herbs and treat them while ensuring that the patients were worry-free before returning.

But when it came time to the mouth of the wet beard, Sun Yi, who was seriously ill, couldn't hold on anymore and died on it. His wife, Xu, hanged herself in a boat and committed suicide.

When everyone heard this, they all stood silently with mixed feelings.

The bodies of Sun Yi and his wife were transported back to Shouchun, and the grandmother was very sad and fell seriously ill, and almost died with it.
