Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, he just praised Li Ru, didn't he want to push Li Ru to the forefront, once the army retreated, let the Xiliang army clean up Li Ru, but what kind of person is Li Ru, how can he be willing to be at the mercy of others, and immediately fight back.

"After this battle, it is expected that there will be soldiers in the Xiliang army who will be infected with the plague, and the purpose of our army has been achieved. Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile, being able to solve the Xiliang Army without bloodshed made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

"Yes, the Xiliang Army can't pose a threat to us, can we retreat?" Liu Biao asked, in his heart, he didn't want to stay in Hangu Pass, the initial army of 50,000, a plague was more turbulent than the battle, and now there are only more than 35,000 people left, these soldiers are Liu Biao's gathering for many years, the elite of Jingzhou.

Yuan Shao said: "Jingsheng's words are good, among the army, there are many people infected with the plague, staying here, it is no longer possible to accomplish it, if you retreat, you will plan again in the future." ”

The coalition army came and went quickly, not defeated by the strong Xiliang army, but defeated by the plague, more than 300,000 troops when they came, more than 200,000 when they went, and the people who died in battle did not die of plague infection, quite a bit of anticlimactic feeling, the soldiers who showed signs of infection with the plague were all abandoned by the princes along the way, the dead could be seen everywhere, some people were accidentally infected with the plague, and the number of deaths became more.

When Jia Rong heard the news of the retreat of the coalition army, he did not feel relaxed at all, and hurriedly ordered the place where the coalition troops were stationed to pile up firewood and other things, pour oil, light a fire, and spread white lime on the outside of the pass.

There are already nearly 300 people in the wounded barracks of the Xiliang Army, although these people are in a good mental state, they can't stop the footsteps of death, and according to the current situation, there will only be more and more infected soldiers.

Following the example of later generations of doctors, Jia Rong ordered doctors to wear masks to prevent the spread of the plague, which also greatly ensured the safety of doctors, at least without direct air contact with patients.

"Bonghyo, how are you feeling?" Jia Rong ignored Hua Yu's admonition and tried his best to see Guo Jia.

After a few days, Guo Jia's face had already turned pale, and the invasion of the disease and the psychological pressure made him a lot haggard.

Seeing Jia Rong coming, a look of surprise flashed in Guo Jia's empty eyes, and he struggled to sit up, wanting to bow down, but was stopped by Jia Rong.

"Lord, Jia is already seriously ill, and the lord should focus on major events, and he shouldn't come to see Jia." Although Guo Jia was excited, there was a complaint in his words, obviously dissatisfied with Jia Rong's approach.

"It's okay, Fengxiao, I am blessed with a great life, when I was on the river, I was highly poisoned, and I didn't survive it, so you can't give up, but whenever there is a glimmer of opportunity, you must seize it, you can't give up on yourself, this king needs your help, no matter what, your life must be saved." Jia Rong's tone was unquestionable, "When you recognize me as the lord, your life is mine, and you can't die without my orders." ”

Guo Jia felt that his throat was a little blocked, and Jia Rong's words made him have an unprecedented desire to survive, to live, for the sake of the lord, he also had to live.

"Lord......" Guo Jia still couldn't hold back after all, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"Okay, what are you crying about a big man, take care of your illness, I'll come back to see you."

After Jia Rong left, Guo Jia whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Lord, this life of humility will be yours in the future." ”

The soldiers of the wounded battalion gathered together, and the most discussed thing was their combat exploits, following Jia Rongrong for many years, what they deserved to show off was their achievements.

The soldiers who can be selected to defend against the princes at Hangu Pass are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they may not know how much enemy blood they have in their hands, so they die silently, although they feel quite worthless, they do not have any restlessness, after death, their families will be properly settled, since they joined the army, they have thought that there will be such a day, but they died a little nest.

"When Lao Tzu followed the general in Xianbei, that battle was enjoyable, and he directly wiped out the most elite wolf army in Xianbei." A general said proudly.

"What's the big deal, the Xianbei army itself is weak, and Lao Tzu followed the military master to defeat the tens of thousands of Xianbei troops outside Yanmen Pass." Another general retorted dissatisfiedly.

"What do you kid know, when Lao Tzu joined the army, you were still playing with the mud, when I was in Xianbei with the general, the war horse had no stirrups, horseshoes, no armor on the body, and it was completely a scimitar in the hand, and the wolf army was the most elite team in the Xianbei army, with superb riding skills and excellent equipment, and that battle was earth-shattering." The general's face showed a look of remembrance: "There are 2,000 people on the other side, and there are only more than 1,000 people on our side. ”

The general suddenly asked, "Do you know what a wolf army is?" ”

"The wolf army, isn't it the army of Xianbei that thinks it is invincible across the grassland, isn't it still defeated by the Xiliang army, so no matter what kind of army it is, it can't beat our Xiliang army." The general said disapprerovingly.

"Don't shout, listen to him, I met the wolf army, and then what happened?" The general who interrupted had some prestige in the army.

More than a dozen soldiers were also attracted by the dialogue between the generals, and in normal times, there were few opportunities for such direct contact with the generals, and the low-level soldiers knew little news, so such a topic had a great attraction to them.

"The wolf army was the most elite unit under its command when Tanshihuai unified Xianbei, and it was invincible when it swept Xianbei back then." The general said slowly.

The soldiers didn't know who Tanshihuai was, they only knew that the Xiliang army was invincible and invincible.

"The sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and our army was difficult to compare with the Xianbei Wolf Army in terms of equipment except for the scimitar in its hand, and the cavalry of the opposing cavalry was even far superior to our army."

Seeing that the generals beside him were also attracted by himself, his face showed a touch of triumph, and Jia Rong's experience in the grassland was the most unforgettable in his life, and it was also the most worthy of showing off the capital.

"The fierceness of the battle was the most tragic after our army entered the grassland, the wolf army was completely annihilated, and there were only more than 50 people left in our army." The general's face was full of remembrance, he had survived the battle, but he had been defeated by the plague.

Everyone was silent, and although the general's words were brief, they could imagine the horrors of the war at that time.

"You kid wouldn't have participated in that battle too, otherwise how could it be described so clearly." The general's tone was full of envy.

"That's right, among the more than 50 people who survived at that time, I was one of them, but I didn't expect the elite wolf army to not kill Lao Tzu, but died under this plague." The general sighed.

When the tent is neutral, he becomes silent, and after a hundred battles, he is finally about to get ahead, but fate plays a joke, and anyone will be in a bad mood.

"Brother, look at the point, if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, maybe this time is also a test for you, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will be the only person in the Xiliang Army in the future." The general pretended to be an old man and persuaded him.

"Brothers, don't worry, the general will not give up on you." At some point, a medical officer walked in.

The battlefield is cruel, the plague is even more cruel, at least you can see the enemy on the battlefield, and you can dodge the enemy's guns and arrows, but under the plague, a few people can survive.

Although Jia Rong's bounty is very high, the medical skills of this era are limited after all, and the situation of the plague is stabilized by medicine every day, and it is difficult to cure it radically.

Under the heavy reward, there is no shortage of brave men, and the medical personnel have succeeded each other, and the results are still quite impressive, the plague is basically under control, and the measures taken in Chang'an are relatively early, and the plague has not arrived, so it has no influence.

Not only the Xiliang Army, but when the princes withdrew their troops, the deaths of the soldiers were also very heavy, in short, this attack on the Xiliang Army, all parties were defeated.

The plague stabilized slightly, Jia Rong's heart was settled, focusing on rectifying the army, a battle, but also exposed some problems in the Xiliang army, combat effectiveness is undoubted, there is still a certain lack of cooperation between the teams, the main reason is that the generals can not grasp the fighter in time, and the soldiers can not make effective judgments, which also points out the direction for Jia Rong's next training of soldiers, focusing on training the generals' battlefield adaptability.

The princes attacked Hangu Pass, so that the grain and grass of the Xiliang army were almost exhausted, and the biggest loss was the merchants of Chang'an, the princes blocked the road to Chang'an, and the goods could not get any circulation, how to talk about doing business with others, fortunately, the rice and grain in the land of Chang'an were controlled by the government, and the merchants did not dare to mess around, so the people did not have any turmoil.

"Now, the princes have withdrawn, our army has also lost troops after this battle, and the plague has temporarily stabilized, but the medical personnel should not let their guard down."

In addition to the civil and military officials in the big tent, Hao Ran, the medical hall personnel headed by Hua Yu, was in the list, the Xiliang Army was able to repel the princes' coalition army this time, and the medical hall was indispensable, especially at the critical moment, the medical staff came up with a way to stabilize the plague, Jia Rong was overjoyed, and directly rewarded 100 gold, which can be said to be the highest reward since the establishment of the Xiliang Army, from an unknown medical staff to get so many rewards at one time, and the rest of the medical personnel were red-eyed at the same time, they also began to increase their efforts to overcome the plague.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers who died in the wounded barracks, and now groups of soldiers are gathered together, and their faces are not as worried as they were at the beginning, especially the generals who have followed Jia Rong back from the grassland, his face is full of red light, his own martial arts are not weak, and he has quite high qualifications in the army.
