Seeing that Gongsun Yi's face was pale, a group of cavalry soldiers were just about to approach.

"Stand down!" Gongsun Yi spoke in a deep voice.

The group of Xiao cavalry soldiers were slightly stunned, it was the first time they saw Gongsun Yi's heavy expression, and they were all curious about what they saw in the room.

It's just that Gongsun Yi's order has been given, and a group of Xiao cavalry have avoided it, heading towards the outside of the village, and returning to the camp, Gongsun Yi is very strange away from everyone, and strictly ordered no one to approach, standing outside the camp tent with a frown.

At this moment, another cavalry soldier rode back, and seeing Gongsun Yi standing outside the camp, he hurriedly dismounted and was about to step forward.

Gongsun Yi immediately stopped talking: "Stand there and talk." ”

The cavalry soldier clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I found some villages in the distance, and it is very strange that there is smoke billowing out of each village, I don't know what customs and habits it is?" ”

"Have you ever been close to a village?"

"My lord, I didn't get closer." Seeing Gongsun's staring eyes, the Xiao Cavalry Armor soldier's heart tightened, and he hurriedly responded.

"You immediately spread the word to the surrounding cavalry troops, no one is allowed to approach any staggered, all return to standby, do not drink the surrounding well water, hunt animals, go quickly!"

Although he didn't understand what Gongsun Yi wanted, seeing such a righteous speech, the Xiao cavalry armor soldier suddenly felt a sudden in his heart, and hurriedly rode away.

Smallpox, cholera or typhoid? Gongsun Yi couldn't tell the difference, just glanced at it just now, the miserable corpse made people feel sorry, but Gongsun Yi could be sure that it was obviously a plague, in fact, the plague was just a general statement.

Because the ancients had a limited understanding of disease, they often did not know the specific type of plague. According to the explanation of the ancients, the so-called epidemic means that all infectious diseases are commonly called "epidemics", and "plague" refers to virulent infectious diseases, which can infect each other between livestock, animals and people.

Because animals as a host of the virus spread, with strong contagion, rapid onset, high mortality rate, patients often high fever and wheezing, dying of exhaustion, some patients and blood spots, in the early days of the plague, in the face of the terrible plague, people are almost helpless, can only wait for death in despair.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many plagues, and the total number of deaths was as high as 20 million, and the corpse that Gongsun Yi glanced at in a hurry could not confirm that there were blood spots and bruises, and even if Gongsun Yi could confirm what kind of illness it was, he was powerless to stop it in this wild place.

Leaving immediately was the first thing Gongsun Yi thought of, but he broke into the room before, and it was within the risk of infection, and it was difficult to say that he was not infected, but these cavalry soldiers around him could not guarantee that no one would be infected when they went to the surrounding villages.

Gongsun Yi would never be ruthless to abandon the infected Xiao cavalry soldiers, and previously reported that there were still remaining villages around, and there were still people who later moved here, Gongsun Yi really couldn't abandon it, and Gongsun Yi didn't dare to guarantee whether there was an outbreak of epidemic in the surrounding towns, states and counties, judging from the migration of a large number of displaced people, the possibility of the epidemic spreading everywhere was extremely high.

Although everything seems to be calm, Gongsun Yi's state of mind has already turned upside down, there is no Western medicine in this era, even some curative herbs must be prescribed for the right medicine, Gongsun Yi does not know what the epidemic that slaughtered this village is, and the feeling of suffocation with no way to escape makes Gongsun Yi lose his mind for the first time.

Just when Gongsun Yi was at a loss, he suddenly noticed that someone was approaching him, and it was too late to stop him, only to see Guan Hai and a group of Xiao cavalry soldiers coming together, and they had already come to his side.

Gongsun Yi sighed slightly, if it has been infected, I am afraid it is too late to avoid it, although he sighed slightly in his heart, but his face was full of vindictiveness and said loudly: "I can't hide it, the people of this village have died, they are all killed by the epidemic, the corpses are already festering, I enter the house, I am afraid that it is already infected, I order you and others to go to the surrounding counties immediately, explore the county towns that have not yet broken out of the epidemic, and look for medicinal materials to detoxify and clear heat, from now on, the closer to the flames, the safer." ”

Gongsun Yi is not talking nonsense, when the epidemic was prevalent, only the blacksmith who dealt with the flame all the year round was not infected, and the high temperature was the most effective way to fight the epidemic in that era, but he wanted to cure those who were infected, and even Gongsun Yi, who knew the knowledge of the future, was powerless to stop it.

A group of Xiao cavalry soldiers heard that there was an epidemic in the village, instinctively showed fear, even if they were not afraid to kill on the battlefield, but in the face of the epidemic that they knew nothing, they couldn't help but be afraid, at this time, Guan Hai laughed and stepped forward to Gongsun Yi and said: "My body is tough, how can I endure the epidemic!" ”

A group of Xiao cavalry soldiers also reacted quickly, realizing that they were trembling all over their bodies because of fear, and they looked up to Guan Hai under their shame, Guan Hai, who was originally a Yellow Turban thief general, although he was deeply valued by Gongsun Yi, but a thief was a thief, and a group of Xiao cavalry soldiers instinctively looked down on it.

What's more, many people suffered from the Yellow Turban Thieves at the beginning, and there were not a few people in the Xiao Cavalry Army who had a deep enmity with the Yellow Turban Thieves, how could they take high care of Guan Hai, but at this moment, Guan Hai's big grin, but proved his own courage, the strong can always be respected, and Guan Hai won the recognition of a number of Xiao Cavalry Army.

Under the order of Gongsun Yi, a group of Xiao cavalry will find something to ignite the fire piled up, although it can not eradicate the disease, but it can ensure that no one will be infected again, I don't know how long later, suddenly a Xiao cavalry chariot came on horseback.

Hurriedly dismounted and reported: "My lord, one hundred and twenty miles away, a county town is being attacked by a team of nearly 1,000 people, and the banner is the Baibo Army. ”

"White Wave Army!" Guan Hai and Gongsun Yi were shocked at the same time.

The White Bo Army is also a Yellow Turban Thief, but it is different from the previous Yellow Turban Thieves, which first fought with the Xiliang Army, and later took refuge in Li Dao, when Li Dao and Guo Huai fought for the power of Chang'an, he led the troops to rescue the driver, took Emperor Han Xian out of Chang'an, and was named the general of Che Technology, and later took refuge in Lu Bu, and was killed when attacking Liu Bei.

It stands to reason that the Baibo army has taken refuge in Li Dao, and the Baibo army that is still fighting here is either in the name of the Baibo army, or the remnants of the army that have not taken refuge in Li Dao, no matter what, Gongsun Yi needs the strength of the county town to control the epidemic, and the Baibo army must not be allowed to attack and loot.

Although there were only a few dozen people around him, Gongsun Yi immediately ordered the whole army to go towards the county seat, dozens of people against a thousand people, this was obviously a self-defeating way, but a kind of cavalry army with high morale, no one raised any objections, as if they were going to a banquet calmly, hoping that the troops in the county town could hold out until they arrived.

Shuo County, located in the north of Luoyang, a small county, far away from Luoyang, the population is not more than 10,000, the county magistrate Cui Yong can not pay the money, can only be arranged in this exclamation isolated from the world of the small county, is also one of the few county magistrates in the surrounding counties of Luoyang, most of the county towns are more than 10,000 households to serve as county orders.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang in a hurry, and the Xiliang soldiers did not have time to go to this county to loot, but those rich county towns were slaughtered and burned, and then the Kwantung Righteous Army Chen Bing sour dates, and later its army dispersed, and this remote county was too far away, but it was missed by the rebels, Shuo County was blessed by misfortune, and became the only remaining county town around Luoyang.

It's just that the good luck of this county seems to have run out, a few days ago there was an outbreak of epidemic, and Cui Yong, the magistrate of Shuo County, had no choice but to order the city gate to be blocked, and the infected people were kept out to fend for themselves.

It's just that Cui Yong's ass hasn't sat down yet, and suddenly a wave of brave soldiers from the surrounding area, calling themselves the Baibo Army, ordered Cui Yong to immediately open the city and surrender, Cui Yong is not stupid, if he opens the city gate and lets these bandits enter the county, he will inevitably be devastated, and he will die both horizontally and vertically, so it is better to fight to the death and immediately mobilize the people of the city to defend the city.

Three hundred county soldiers, plus the officials are strong, barely scraped together 500 people, fortunately, although the number of the Baibo army is nearly 1,000, but the lack of siege weapons, although the gate of Shuoxian is not high, but condescending, but can barely fight.

Seeing that the county town wanted to defend to the death, the Baibo army immediately attacked the city, and the people who defended the city knew that the city would be ruined, and everyone fought bravely to the death, but in the face of the Baibo soldiers who climbed to the top of the city from time to time, the courage of the people defending the city was losing step by step, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
