Do you still remember that at the beginning of the siege of the Yuan army, Tai Shici once took the initiative to attack and destroy the construction of the Yuan army's camp, and then captured hundreds of Yuan soldiers?

Those captured Yuan soldiers stayed in Julu City for the night. The state army did not abuse them in any way, but rather comforted them with kindness.

Here's what happened to those captured Yuan Jun:

At the beginning of entering the city, there was a greedy officer of the state army, who took a very arrogant fancy to the military uniforms of the captives, so he ordered his subordinates to strip the captives one by one. Fortunately, the tragic scene of the captives was discovered in time by the high-level of the state army. It didn't take long for someone to reissue a set of Yuan Jun's military uniforms.

Listening to the Bingzhou army who returned the military uniform, the bastard who dared to rob the Yuan army's military uniform was severely punished by the lord of the Bingzhou army and demoted. With such a pacification, the little resentment that Yuan Jun's captives had originally hidden in their hearts dissipated.

Next, the accommodation and food that Yuan Jun got were also as they expected. Although there is no wine and meat, it is full of wheat and rice. The next day, before Yuan Jun was released, the Bingzhou Army also provided a gruel breakfast. It can be said that the treatment of the Bingzhou army made the Yuan army prisoners a little strange, but they were quite grateful.

You don't know, under such a good treatment, what is covered up is an extremely damaging poisonous trick!

The captives were stripped of their clothes, of course, not by money-hungry officers of the state, but by an arrogant special arrangement. The clothes that were returned to the captives were prepared in advance by Insolence, and were treated with the bodily fluids of the plague patients that had been collected recently!

Not only that, but the food eaten by the captives was also preceded by reliable Taiping Daoist doctors. Those materials, of course, are plague strains cultivated from plague patients!

Taiping Dao is very good at treating plagues and dealing with the spread of epidemics. It is said that even the famous doctor in the south, Zhang Zhongjing. I also had a discussion with the sacrificial wine of Taiping Road, and I was quite impressed. As a traverser, even if he doesn't understand medical skills, he still knows a little common sense about the prevention and control of the spread of the plague. Since the news of the plague in the Julu area came, and the state army set up an epidemic isolation point in Julu City. Gather all the plague patients found together to treat them and prevent the spread of the plague.

Zhang Qi does not know how to cure diseases, but he can provide ideas and tools for the medical masters of Taiping Dao to study diseases. In his spare time in the past, Zhang Qiang pretended to be the name of Nanhua Lao Xian, and taught some basic knowledge about microbiology to the Taiping Dao medical masters, and clarified the two basic concepts of viruses and bacteria.

For the modes of microbial diffusion and propagation, Insolence provides an explanation of several main modes of transmission. And. How to kill bacteria and viruses with high temperature or alcohol is also mastered by Taipingdao. From this point of view, Taipingdao's theoretical research on microbiology can be said to be a thousand years ahead of the world.

In addition, Zhang Mad held back in Taihang Mountain for a few years, and actually cultivated a master of grinding mirrors, which can be used to polish convex lenses with natural crystals. Most of these successfully ground lenses are ordinary products. It was used as a military telescope, and a small number of the finest lenses. It becomes the material of several microscopes.

Through the microscope, albeit rudimentary, many of the sacrificial wines were able to see with their own eyes the true face of the tiny creatures. As a result, they expressed their complete admiration for the theory put forward by the insolent man. A series of research on microorganisms has been carried out smoothly.

There is theory, there is practice, and it takes a few years. Zhang Qi actually gave birth to a branch of medicine in Bingzhou-microbiology together with the medical Taoist sacrificial wine of Taiping Dao. With this technical foundation, Taipingdao's understanding of the plague has been greatly deepened, and breakthroughs have been made in treatment. And the entire state military system, the degree of fear of the epidemic. It has also dropped dramatically.

Under these circumstances, a radical microbiology researcher proposed a few years ago that he could try to artificially spread the plague in the enemy's territory in order to achieve the effect of surrendering the army without a fight.

This "anti-human" plan will certainly not be adopted by those who aim to dominate the world and clarify Unai's arrogance. However, Zhang Qi did not reprimand the researcher, but only warned the person that with the development trend of the state army, there was no need to do so much. The researcher's series of studies of personal interest were secretly guarded by the insolence as a precaution.

Internally, this kind of biological weapon may not be suitable for use. However, if the Chinese civilization wants to expand outward in the future and encounters some powerful obstacles, this biological weapon may come in handy.

However, Yuan Shao's sudden surprise attack this time made Zhang Qi fall into an extremely dangerous situation all of a sudden. In this case, of course, the arrogance must fight back with all his might, and do everything he can. As a result, the plan to spread the plague in Yuan Shao's army and force him to withdraw was completed in only one hour under Guo Jia's plan.

The plague chosen in this plan is a plague species with a short incubation period, rapid spread, and relatively rapid onset, and the consequences are not too serious, and the mortality rate is not high. According to the nomenclature provided by the madness, the plague virus was named "Plague God III".

The insolent plague plan went well. Because of the knowledge and vision beyond the times, even if Yuan Jun was hit, he didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until someone fell ill that Yuan Jun realized that something was wrong.

In particular, what made the arrogant plan most effective was that after Yuan Shao recovered those prisoners, in order to appease the prisoners, he dispersed these defeated soldiers with reliable loyalty to different auxiliary camps.

In the minds of Yuan Shao and his advisers, the captives only stayed in the city for one night, and they lived together in groups, so it was impossible for them to be bribed and mutinous by the Bingzhou army. Anyway, Yuan Jun's side obviously has an advantage, Yuan Shao simply was generous and tolerated the captured soldiers, which could be regarded as calming the morale of the army, so that the soldiers could feel the benevolence of the commander Yuan Shao.

Who would have thought that it was this seemingly understandable and appropriate decision that would eventually lead to a full-scale outbreak of the epidemic in Yuan's army!

As for Yuan Shao himself, didn't he go to the camp many times to have dinner with the soldiers in order to boost morale?

Although the captives were all placed in the auxiliaries, Yuan Shao was mainly active among the elite soldiers. The only time Yuan Shao went to the auxiliary camp to offer condolences, he sat down with the two captured auxiliary soldiers to drink soup and a few words of homely thought. With such a line arranged, it was only natural that Yuan Shao was infected by the two auxiliaries and got sick.

Fortunately, the epidemic of the Yuan army mainly occurred among the auxiliary soldiers, and the soldiers were not greatly affected. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not have been able to launch the battle of trapping the wall and breaking the city with all his strength at the beginning of the outbreak of the plague in the army. And when the whole army retreated, there were no soldiers who still barely maintained their morale to suppress the formation, I am afraid that if the army began to retreat, the entire Yuan army would collapse.

After repeatedly confirming the news of Yuan Shao's illness and the outbreak of the plague in Yuan Jun, the whole city immediately cheered and boiled. This is normal, if one moment you are still worried about whether the broken city wall can hold on, whether the city can be held, and the next moment you find that the enemy army is close to collapse, under such a mixture of joy and sorrow, if you still forcibly endure it, are you not afraid of holding back your illness?

With this good news at the bottom, Zhang Qiang immediately and decisively ordered:

"Ziyi! Immediately inform the cavalry of the headquarters and prepare to go out of the city to pursue. Tomorrow morning, set off immediately. However, remember not to fight, just harass the enemy and wait for the opportunity to bite off a piece! ”

"Order!"

Tai Shici's temperament is a little impatient, but his mind is still sober and he knows the truth of not being greedy for merit. As long as he is not too greedy, Tai Shici will definitely gain a lot if he goes.

"Xiao Hei, immediately send capable men to spread the loud news of our army everywhere. Especially in Youzhou, let Yu Fei [Zhang Yan's words] know as soon as possible, don't delay the war in Northern Xinjiang! ”

"No!"

Wei Xiao agreed and hurriedly went out to arrange. The espionage system under his jurisdiction has made such a serious mistake in this war, and punishment is inevitable. Although Wei Xiao relied on his relationship with the arrogant child, he was not too worried in his heart, but he also wanted to behave well and reduce the degree of punishment as much as possible.

Next, Zhang Mad sent a messenger to Youzhou, so that Zhang Yan did not have to lead his troops south to help, but continued his strategy against Youzhou.

Before Julu was besieged a few days ago, Zhang Mad once sent a messenger to send a letter to Zhang Yan who was conquering Youzhou, asking him to quickly lead his troops back to help. However, now that the danger of the giant deer has been lifted, there is no need for Zhang Yan's army to rush back.

Anyway, if Zhang Yan comes back now, he won't be able to catch up with the battle to pursue Yuan Shao. It's better to let him fight in Youzhou, eliminate Liu Yu and the remnants of Gongsun as soon as possible, and unify Youzhou as soon as possible.

As for the issue of pursuing Yuan Shao's army, the more than 1,000 cavalry of Ether Shici alone are a little weak, and of course the results will be limited. However, didn't Zhang Qiang transfer an elite reinforcement from the Bingzhou area in advance to support Julu?

The combat power of that support army is extraordinary, and it can also rank in the forefront of the world. If they came quickly enough, it was very likely that they would have caught up with Yuan Shao's withdrawal. Yuan Shao probably didn't expect the appearance of this support army, and would only concentrate on guarding against the Tai Shi Ci Department that was following behind the army. Under the lack of defense, if the reinforcements pounce on it at this time and bite it hard, they are not afraid that Yuan Jun will not hurt their muscles and bones.

After these two orders, Zhang Qiang said no more. After the excitement, his injured physique was finally exposed, and he had to hurry home to recuperate.

Because of the joy in his heart, on the way home, Zhang Madness has been thinking about what kind of posture he needs to use in order to clean up Zhao Yu's prodigal hooves in this powerless state.

As for the others, it's to go back to their respective homes and rest for a day. During the days of besieging the city, the soldiers and civilians defending the city were really tired. (To be continued......)
