Chapter 459: Zhang Liang self-immolated
γRecruitmentγSet sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!
After hurriedly inspecting the containment camp, Xiang Zhuang issued several urgent military orders in a row as soon as he returned to the big tent.
First, immediately recall the Meng's cavalry, Xiang Zhuang is not sure whether the Meng's cavalry has been infected with the epidemic, but he will never dare to take the risk, in case the Meng's cavalry has been infected with the epidemic, then this way to the east to chase and kill, it is very likely to spread the epidemic to the entire Nan County, Hengshan County, Jiujiang County and even the entire Jiangdong.
If this is the case, it will be a catastrophe for the Chu State!
Second, order Zhong Lifu's navy to strictly seal and lock the Wujiang River, and strictly prevent the Lutai cavalry from crossing the Wujiang River and entering Jiangdong, Xiang Zhuang can't help but worry, in case the Lutai cavalry has also been infected with the epidemic, and then once they are allowed to flow into Jiangdong, then the Han army does not have to attack the city and seize the land at all, and even does not need to use swords and soldiers, it is enough to destroy the Jiangdong foundation of the Chu State.
Third, Jiang Ji's army was ordered to immediately seal off Suoshui and Baishui, and everyone was only allowed to cross Chushui and Baishui to the west, but they were not allowed to cross Chushui and Baishui to the east, so as to control the epidemic as much as possible in the area west of Chushui and Baishui, and north of the river, and at the same time seal Suoyiling Road to prevent the spread of the epidemic to the two counties of Bashu.
Fourth, the army immediately set up camp near Deng County, and each army and battalion were stationed separately, except for the food transportation team and the vigilant troops on the task, everyone was only allowed to enter and not leave, once the patient was found, he was immediately sent to the shelter camp for isolation and treatment, and if the epidemic was found in the nearby counties, townships and pavilions, troops would be immediately sent to seal the lock and isolate!
Fifth, dig mountains to take (quicklime), carry out comprehensive disinfection of the barracks, people and animals are not allowed to drink raw water, are not allowed to eat raw and cold food, those who are not sick must cover their faces with wet cloths, and the corpses of people and animals who die of illness are immediately cremated!
Sixth, immediately recruit doctors from various counties, and then urgently ask the Qin family and other red-top merchants to buy Chinese herbal medicines!
After giving the order as quickly as possible, Xiang Zhuang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat back on the table with chagrin, how could this good person get the flu? Of course, Xiang Zhuang only suspected for the time being, he was not a doctor after all, and he was not sure that the current epidemic was the flu, maybe it was a much more dangerous disease than the flu.
Bi Shu sighed lightly and said, "This plague really didn't come at the right time. β
Bi Shu, Xiang Tuo, Huan Chu and others sighed relatively, if it weren't for this sudden plague, at most in half a month, the army of Chu would have fallen under Xianyang City, and the Han army was newly defeated, what would they do to resist the army of Chu at that time? If that were the case, the demise of the Han Kingdom would have been a certainty, but now, everything has come to naught.
It is not yet known how many casualties this sudden plague will cause to the Chu army, but because of this delay, the Han State will have enough time to reaccumulate troops, and it will be able to use Wuguan, Hangu Pass, and Hanzhong as barriers and do its best to defend it to the death, and it will not be easy for the Chu army to attack Guanzhong again.
Xiang Zhuang hesitated for a long time and asked Baili Xiandao: "Ziliang, do you want to recall the two armies of Xiaoqi and Tianwolf?" β
Xiang Zhuang was a little hesitant about whether to recall the two chasing soldiers of Xiaoqi and Tianwolf, if he recalled the two chasing soldiers, he would inevitably let Liu Bang go, this is to let the tiger return to the mountain, but if he continues to chase and kill, it will not allow the epidemic to spread to the entire Central Plains, which is tantamount to a catastrophe for the entire Huaxia clan, which is also what Xiang Zhuang does not want to see.
"Recall the two armies of Xiao Cavalry and Sky Wolf?" Bai Lixian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't need to do it anymore." β
"Too much?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and said puzzled, "Ziliang, what do you mean by this?" β
Bai Lixian didn't answer and asked, "King, don't you think this plague is a little strange?" ββ¦,
"Strange?!" Xiang Zhuang's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean...... Is this plague man-made? β
"The minister dares to assert that this plague is man-made, and the minister also knows that this must have been planned by Chen Ping, because Zhang Liang is a humble gentleman, and he will never come up with such a vicious and cruel strategy!" Bai Lixian's words are not unfounded, both the Chu and Han armies pay great attention to the disposal of corpses, if it is not artificial, where does the plague come from?
"Chen Ping?" Xiang Zhuang's eyes suddenly had a cold look.
Bai Lixian said again: "The plague is a double-edged sword, while killing and injuring our army, the Han army is afraid that it will be difficult to survive, so even if the two armies of Xiaocai and Sky Wolf are recalled, the defeated Han army will still bring the epidemic to the Central Plains, on the contrary, if Xiao Cai and Sky Wolf Army can intercept them, or they can also save the Central Plains from life!" β
Xiang Zhuang Huo Ran got up, paced back and forth in the big tent for a few steps, and suddenly turned back and instructed Xiang Tuo: "Ziyan, immediately punish the flying cavalry edict to the generals Huyan, Mengyuan, and Mengliao, and catch up with the Han army at all costs, and it is best to capture the monarchs and ministers of the Han State alive, especially Chen Ping, the widow must slaughter this fang with his own hands!" β
"Whoa!" Xiang Tuo responded abruptly, turned around and walked away.

"Quick, dig!"
"Dig deeper!"
"It's not enough, go deeper!"
In the sparse woods, Chen Ping was holding torches and directing more than a dozen Han soldiers to dig a deep pit, and dozens of corpses were placed on the edge of the pit, the corpses were tightly wrapped in linen, and a large amount of quicklime was sprinkled on the corpses.
After a while, a deep pit was finally dug up, and at that moment Chen Ping commanded the soldiers to carry the corpses on the edge of the pit into the pit, while the Han army carried the corpses, Chen Ping quietly retreated more than a dozen steps, and the dozen or so Han soldiers finished carrying the corpses and were about to return to the soil to bury them, when a burst of random arrows suddenly came, and the dozen Han soldiers were shot and killed on the spot before they could react.
Immediately dozens of other tightly wrapped soldiers came out of the woods, and they first pushed a dozen Han soldiers into the pit with branches, and then threw dozens of bundles of dry firewood into the deep pit, and then threw down torches, and the fire burst into flames, and then the dozens of soldiers took off the sackcloth wrapped in their bodies and threw them into the fire pit.
Chen Ping also took off the wet linen wrapped around his face and body, and threw them into the fire pit.
After doing all this, Chen Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, and then returned to the camp with a solemn expression.
In the past few days, Chen Ping has dealt with dozens of batches of wounded soldiers, and he knows the horror of the plague, so as long as he finds that something is wrong, even if it is just suspicious, he will not hesitate to kill the killer, such as the dozen or so Han soldiers who were in charge of digging the pit just now, most of them just sneezed a few times in a row.
But even so, Chen Ping didn't dare to be completely reassured.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Chen Ping heard the shocking news that Zhang Liang had fallen ill!
Hurriedly came to the hut where Zhang Liang lived, just in time to see Liu Bang bending down and about to drill into the hut, Chen Ping was in a hurry, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him: "The king is slow!" β
Liu Bang turned around when he heard the sound and saw that it was Chen Ping, so he said: "Chen Ping, you came just in time, aren't you proficient in medical skills, hurry up and take a look for the ovary." After that, Liu Bang was about to drill into the hut again, and muttered softly, "It's really weird, the ovary wasn't fine last night, how can you say that you fell ill when you were sick?" β
"My lord, take a step to speak." Chen Ping took the first two steps and grabbed Liu Bang.
Then, Chen Ping pulled Liu Bang to a secluded and uninhabited place, and said something like this, Liu Bang's eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth was wide open, and he said after a long time: "Chen Ping, you ...... you"...,
Chen Ping sighed and said gloomily: "Great King, the minister is also doing this for the sake of the Great Han State, think about it, if you don't make this decision, what will you do to stop the army of the Chu State?" Once the army of Chu State comes to the city of Xianyang, everything will be over! Although some costs have been paid now, the national lineage of the Great Han Kingdom can finally continue. β
"What about the ovary?" Liu Bangqiang calmed down, "What about the ovary?" β
Chen Ping sighed and said, "I'm afraid the military advisor can't follow, let him stay here." β
Liu Bang's face changed again and again, and it took a long time before he said, "The widow wants to say goodbye to him." β
Chen Ping nodded, and said: "But the king has to do what the minister says, and the time can't be too long, otherwise, the minister doesn't dare to guarantee whether the king will be infected." β
After a while, Liu Bang, who was tightly wrapped, walked into the thatched house where Zhang Liang lived, accompanied by Chen Ping, who was also tightly wrapped.
In the thatched house, only a bed was built with stones, and the bed was covered with a layer of wheat straw, and Zhang Liang lay on it, although Liu Bang and Chen Ping covered their faces with wet wipes, but Zhang Liang still recognized it, and immediately wanted to struggle to sit up and salute, but only half of it was broken and fell back, Liu Bang instinctively wanted to reach out to help, but was stopped by Chen Ping.
"My lord, I'm afraid our army has been infected with the plague." Zhang Liang sighed and glanced at Chen Ping again.
Although Zhang Liang didn't say it, he had already guessed in his heart that this plague must have been planned by Chen Ping, but the plague had already broken out, and now it was pointless to complain and hold him accountable.
"The widow knows." Liu Bang said with a sad face, "Ovary, you ......"
Zhang Liang shook his hand and interrupted Liu Bangdao: "King, you don't have to say anything, don't forget that the minister is also a little skilled in medicine, and knows how terrible the plague is, the king, the minister only hopes that you can take the common people in the world as your thoughts, control the spread of the epidemic as much as possible, and don't let the entire Central Plains Spirit Sink into the charcoal!" β
"Don't worry about the ovary, the widow will, it will." Liu Bang nodded again and again.
Zhang Liang said to Chen Ping again: "Chen Ping, don't make this decision in the future, it's too hurtful!" β
"Rest assured, the military advisor will not make such a decision in the future." Chen Ping also responded with resignation.
Zhang Liang's eyes turned to Liu Bang again, and said with a smile: "King, since the ancient Bolangsha stabbed Qin met, in a hurry, it has been thirty and three years, and I can serve the king with what I have learned in my life, fortunately, today, you and I are the end of fate, and when I leave, I hope that the king will not forget to leave a torch for the minister, hehe." β
"The ovary ......" Liu Bang was miserable when he heard this, so he immediately cried.
But in the end, Liu Bang was still pulled out of the thatched hut by Chen Ping, before going out, Chen Ping took a torch from his own hands and inserted it on the ground of the thatched hut, Liu Bang didn't go far, and when he looked back, he saw that the thatched hut had fallen into the ...... of fire. οΌ
