Zhiwen put one foot on the mouse and was about to step on it when he was suddenly stunned. （）

Just now he felt as if he had missed something, but now this feeling was even stronger, and a voice suddenly came out of his heart, telling him that this mouse was of great use and could not be killed just like that.

What the hell have you forgotten?

Zhiwen pulled his mind forward, trying to figure out what was going on.

From the doctor's point of view, rats are the source of infection of the disease, and it is natural to try to kill them, not to mention that according to Zhiwen's inference just now, these house rats are the source of the plague, so they can't be kept.

Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with killing this mouse, is it too much to think about yourself.

That's it, let's do it, and then leave this place tomorrow, let Liu Cai take Nannan to find Kewang, and let Kewang destroy the Jin army five days later and rescue the Han people here.

He sneaked back to the Daling River, tried to assassinate Huang Taiji, and waited for Jin to mess up before acting.

If there is an opportunity, it is natural that the Sunit Department and Kewangli should cooperate with the outside world and take advantage of the Jin people.

If there is no chance, he will take the Sunit tribe to escape from the Daling River, come here to join Kewang and them, and return to the grassland.

This is Zhiwen's plan to take away this group of Han people, and at this moment, he felt that there was no problem, and he began to exert force under his feet, and the normal cry of the rat had begun to turn into a scream.

By the way, under Kewang's command, in addition to the orphans who fled from northern Shaanxi, there are also mercenaries and Mongolians, not all of them are immune to the plague, and when you get here, you have to be careful, it is best to wear a mask and drink some pond water.

Why don't you follow Liu Cai for a trip, and then go to Daling River?

Thinking that Kewang and their men and horses were also infected by the plague, Zhiwen suddenly moved somewhere in his mind, and finally knew what he had missed, so he quickly withdrew his feet, and the mournful cries of the rats seemed to have turned into a cheer of joy for the rest of his life.

"Childe, why did you spare this flat-haired beast again?" Seeing this, Old Man Liu couldn't help asking.

"I suddenly had an idea, Uncle Liu, you let me slow down."

"Then you think slowly here, I'll take Liu Cai out in tandem?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu, don't rush the tandem." Zhiwen pulled the father and son who wanted to go out, "It's not too late to think about it clearly, maybe something will be done together later." ”

"Oh, then I'll boil some water and make some tea?"

Zhiwen nodded, sat down by himself, staring at the mouse in a daze, Liu Cai saw this, and didn't dare to disturb, and went busy with his father.

Looking at the mice still struggling to survive in the wheat stalks, the thoughts in Zhiwen's mind became clearer and clearer.

The plague can pose a threat here, and it can also cause a tragedy in the Daling River, once the epidemic breaks out, its power is unimaginable, these troops of the Houjin, as well as their Mongolian servant army, will definitely be dealt a heavy blow, and how many people will die, Zhiwen is impossible to estimate.

To do this, in fact, it is very simple, just catch a dozen of these house rats, which have been the source of infection, and bring them to the Daling River, at most half a month's work, you can see the results.

Didn't he always want to find an opportunity to bite off a piece of meat on Houjin's body and weaken his strength, but these days in Dalinghe, Zhiwen has to admit that he wants to use conventional means to deal with Jinren, and with the current strength of Zhuolu Trading Company, he still can't catch it.

After all, the foundation is insufficient, especially the gap between military strength and Houjin is not small, and if a conflict really breaks out, a head-on duel is not its opponent, and it can only fight guerrillas.

However, the Zhuolu family of men and horses have bases in Dalintai and Eren Zhuoer Lake, and once they are attacked by the Jinren, they can only give up, and their strength will be greatly damaged.

It was Zhiwen who could only take the unusual path and came up with such a crooked idea as assassinating Huang Taiji.

But the effects of the assassination of Huang Taiji were far from comparable to the plague.

Even if Zhiwen's assassination is successful, if someone within the Houjin comes forward to stop the civil strife and preserve the strength of the Houjin to the greatest extent, then they will lose at most a powerful leader, and the road to the Central Plains may become difficult in the future, but the threat to the surrounding departments is still there, and the left-wing Mongolia may continue to be dependent, and this situation is still unfavorable to the Zhuolu Trading Company.

But once the plague broke out in full swing in the Daling River, the situation was completely different.

In this era, there is a general shortage of medical treatment, and it is even worse here in Jiannu, in the face of such a ferocious and virulent infectious disease as the plague, especially the pneumonic plague, which can be infected by droplets, the speed of transmission and the degree of destruction are really unimaginable.

In the end, it would be nice to have 30% of the people who survived.

According to Zhiwen's estimation in Dalinghe these days, there are about 50,000 people in the headquarters of the Jin people, that is, Zhenjiannu, and nearly 25,000 people after the Mongol servant army excludes the Sunit department, that is to say, after the plague, these people can survive, not even 23,000 people, or the kind that is sick and may not have the strength to fight.

There are actually not many Jurchens in Jianzhou, less than 100,000 people in the full battle, and an epidemic can take the lives of 35,000 of them, which is already an unbearable blow to Houjin, not to mention that after the survivors evacuate the battlefield and return to their respective Niulu, there is a possibility of further spread of the plague.

After this battle, Hou Jin can be regarded as breaking his muscles and bones, which is much better than killing a Huang Taiji.

As for the left-wing Mongolian side, there is no difference compared to the annihilation of the whole army, and the Zhuolu trade union can control it effortlessly, and then spy on Liaodong.

What is more beneficial to Zhiwen is that he suspected the outbreak of the plague before, so that the people of Sunit headquarters, as well as the Han people who supervised it, all wore masks and drank the water of the system pond, and their resistance to the plague was much better than that of others, and they did not have to worry about killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves after the plague spread.

But is it really good to do that?

In addition to the Jiannu and Mongolian people, there are also a huge number of Han slaves who work for the Jin people, aside from the 10,000 people supervised by the Sunit Ministry, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people, they did not flee from northern Shaanxi, there are no antibodies, there are no other preventive measures, they eat less, they do more, their physical fitness is poor, and their ability to fight the plague is definitely poor.

There are also more than 10,000 Ming troops in Dalinghe City, and their ability to resist the plague will not be much better than that of the Jin and Mongolian people, and the survival rate is 30%.

What to do, or not?

Unleashing the monster of the plague can severely damage Jin and Meng, and even relieve the crisis in Shenzhou, but it will also take the lives of many compatriots.

And in line with the moral code of a doctor, the epidemic must be controlled, but Houjin has been spared, even if Zhiwen kills Huang Taiji alone, Huaxia still has to face the threat of Jianzhou Jurchen.

Zhiwen was caught in a dilemma.
