Chapter 140: The Plague
As soon as Mo Le's words fell, Qi Tian was stunned, and immediately understood what Mo Le meant, his expression was firm, his eyes were determine, and he looked straight at Mo Le.
"The lord can rest assured that the task will be completed"
Qi Tian said absolutely, his tone was full of determination.
"Okay, after this incident, I will celebrate for you"
Mo Le nodded in satisfaction and said loudly.
"You go ahead and arrange it first"
waved his hand and signaled Qi Tian to go down, but Mo Le's gaze fell on Wang Meng, only to see that Wang Meng's expression was low, his mood was not high, like a frosted eggplant, wilted.
"Why, I feel uncomfortable, I still feel that I am not as good as Qi Tian"
Mo Le's tone changed, and he said very softly.
"Back to the lord, my subordinates don't have it, I just feel that sometimes, I am too righteous"
was asked by Mo Le, Wang Meng was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Hehe, character is innate, and since it exists, it is useful, but the situation here is not suitable for a warm-hearted ・・・・・ like you"
Murray chuckled and continued.
"Ugh"
"My subordinates, thank you for reminding me, Wang Meng understands"
Wang Meng's eyes lit up, it is true, this place needs ruthless generals to command, but in some places, there are also generals of his own character.
"That's good, let's go, let the Divine Bow Legion gather, and return to Iron Wall City in a while"
Seeing that Wang Meng had regained his confidence again, Mo Le nodded and said lightly.
A few hours later, the player arranged by Ye Feng arrived, and after Mo Le explained a few words to him, he left with the Divine Bow Legion, and before leaving, he told Qi Tian again that he should put the lives of the Blood Battle Legion soldiers first, and Qi Tian also promised that Mo Le would leave.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when Mo Le felt in front of the valley of Iron Wall City, he felt a dark cloud over the valley, and every soldier of Easy City who passed in front of Mo Le had a very solemn face.
"Lord, you're back, something is wrong"
Looking at Mo Le coming from afar, Xu Shu hurriedly greeted him, with a heavy face, and said to Mo Le in a mournful voice, and behind Xu Shu, Wu Yong also followed with an embarrassed face.
"See, how is the situation, how many of our soldiers have been infected"
At this moment, Mo Le's face also sank, and he asked in a cold voice.
"Hundreds of people, all lying there, I was afraid that the other soldiers would also be infected, so I didn't dare to let the soldiers touch them"
Xu Shu explained.
"It can't be like this"
"Wang Meng, come here"
"Get our soldiers out like you did just now"
"Then order an area in the Iron Wall City to be cleaned up for the infected brothers to rest, but that area must be isolated, and no one is allowed to enter without my order."
As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, Mo Le issued a series of orders, at this moment, even if the soldiers of Xiaoyao City were experienced in a hundred battles, they were also demoralized, he had to act, or the army was in turmoil, that was the real crisis.
"The Lord's Wisdom"
As soon as Mo Le's words fell, Xu Shu's eyes lit up, and he said secretly, he still has too shallow vision, and he actually ignored such an important issue, and sure enough, he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, it seems that I should consider the problem from the position of the lord in the future.
"Tell me, what's going on now?"
And Mo Le's gaze fell on Wu Yong behind Xu Shu, but he didn't scold him, but asked helplessly.
Indeed, this matter has little to do with Wu Yongzhen, before using the poison, Wu Yong said that the poison is still in the testing stage and is not perfect.
"This medicine is more powerful in the human body, even more powerful than the test I did before, and it is very likely to mutate, not like the previous test, it will only make people weak and powerless, and it is very likely to take people's lives"
Seeing that Mo Le did not reprimand, Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said what he had discovered.
"Is it possible to dispense an antidote?"
In an instant, Mo Le's face was gloomy, his expression was solemn, and he secretly said in his heart, sure enough, the worst situation still appeared.
"This..."
Wu Yong lowered his head, and for a long time, he didn't say anything.
"Okay, you go down, always pay attention to the development of the situation, and report the situation in time"
Seeing that Wu Yong had no choice, Mo Le waved his hand to let him go down.
"Remember, pay attention to your own safety, and never touch those Yellow Turban Thieves"
Wu raised his leg and left, but Mo Le said again, his tone was full of concern, which moved Wu with his heart.
"Lord, blame me for this, if it weren't for my attention, the situation wouldn't be like this"
Wu Yong left, but Xu Shu said apologetically that the plan was proposed by him, but now it is out of their control.
"I can't blame you for this, we didn't have a way at that time, if it wasn't for the no way, no one would use this trick, now that the city is safe, we have succeeded, the next thing is just to wipe the ass, Yuan Zhi can't care too much"
Mo Le has a good mentality and doesn't care too much about this matter, in fact, in Mo Le's heart, as long as there is nothing wrong in Easy City, no matter how big the problem is, it doesn't matter.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the situation has deteriorated again, and there have been many Yellow Turban Bandit Army dead, and this momentum is still spreading, especially on Qi Tian's side, a large number of Yellow Turban Bandit Army has died, even if there are 30,000 soldiers of the Blood War Legion over there, it is a little difficult to deal with.
The corpses will not be automatically refreshed, they need to be buried or incinerated, but no one knows whether there is poison on the bodies of those dead Yellow Turban Thieves, Qi Tian did not dare to take risks, so he had to use the safest way to turn those Yellow Turban Thieves with wooden sticks, but this increased the difficulty of a lot, and many corpses could not be disposed of in time.
The corpses were exposed to the scorching sun, and many of them had deteriorated and emitted a foul smell.
The bad situation is not only so, because the Yellow Turban Bandit Army in Xuzhou has not all been pacified, and many peasants' homes have been forced to be displaced.
However, the peasants' physical health was not good, they were displaced, fled for refuge, and their health was even worse, and as soon as they arrived in Guangling County, many soldiers were seriously ill and fell to the ground.
And Qi Tian had already told Mo Le the news, and Mo Le was staying in the Internal Affairs Hall of Iron Wall City at the moment, pacing, with a hint of struggle on his face.
"Lord, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us, and if this continues, the epidemic is likely to spread to Iron Wall City, and even to Easy City."
Xu Shu also had a solemn face, his eyes were bloodshot, and in the past few days, there has been no good news, which made Xu Shu very irritable, and he didn't even have the slightest rest.
"With the current situation, we only have two ways to go, first, go all out to rescue the peasants and bring them all into the Iron Wall City to recuperate, but the virus is likely to lead to the loss of the Iron Wall City as the people enter the Iron Wall City, and even the epidemic will spread throughout the Easy Territory, and the second is to shrink all our troops, give up the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, and give up the peasants to ensure the safety of the Iron Wall City, but it will make the prestige of the Lord fall sharply."
Xu Shu's eyes are very responsible, at this time, no matter whether he advances or retreats, it is a road to failure for Xiaoyao City, but is there any other way, and after listening to Xu Shu, Mo Le also fell into thinking, now for Mo Le, it can be said that there are wolves in front of and tigers in the back.
"Yuan Zhi, Xiaoyao City is our foundation place, I feel that there is no room for loss, even if we pay a big price, we must not let Xiaoyao City lose, there is no money, we can earn, there are no soldiers, we can recruit, there is no popular heart, we can cultivate, but Xiaoyao City is gone, then we have nothing"
Suddenly, Mo Le opened his mouth and said, his expression was resolute, his eyes were absolutely clear, and he had obviously made a decision.
"Yuan Zhi, it's time for us to give up, although the million Yellow Turban thieves joined Xiaoyao City, which immediately increased the strength of Xiaoyao City, but things are beyond our control, go against the sky, the sky will be destroyed, this is not a crime of war, but the sky should not"
Saying that, Mo Le's tone was also a lot lower, and when the duck flew to the beak, no one would be comfortable.
"Lord, wise, the power of war is useless at this time, and the current medical capacity of Xiaoyao City is not enough to control the epidemic, and it is also helpless for the lord to give up."
Xu Shu said lightly, but his expression was a little helpless, this time Jihua came out of his hands, although he defeated the Yellow Turban Thief Army, but he didn't get much benefit from it, more or less, so that he couldn't accept it.
"Where are the guards?"
Listening to Xu Shu's words, Mo Le was also a little unhappy, but the matter had come to this point, and it was already inviolable, so he shouted loudly outside the Internal Affairs Department.
"Bump"
"Bump"
Several guards, grim and expressionless, like icemen, walked into the Interior Hall, knelt down on one knee, and looked at Mole.
"Heralds"
"Qi Tian immediately killed all the Yellow Turban thieves, set them on fire, and then retreated to Ironwall"
"Wang Meng immediately killed all the Yellow Turban thieves, set them on fire, and then withdrew to the Iron Wall City"
"The Iron Wall City can be locked down, except for the soldiers of the Easy City, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Iron Wall City, and those who trespass will be killed."
"The soldiers who come back from outside the city should be immediately dispersed and isolated, and after three days of observation, those who have no abnormalities can be released."
Immediately, Mo Le issued several orders in a row, and at this moment, Mo Le was extremely cold, with murderous intent, and the fate of the millions of Yellow Turban thieves was already doomed at this moment, with death and no life.
"No"
Several guards, although their faces were calm, they were still cold and abnormal, but their hearts were shocked, the guards beside Mo Le were originally soldiers of the Dragoon Legion, they could be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, and they were warriors who broke out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, but this time they also felt a little scared of Mo Le's order, which was the lives of millions of people.
But a military order is a military order, it is extremely strict, there is no room for negotiation, it must be strictly enforced, a few guards responded a few times, and then quietly retreated, and after giving the order, Mo Le's eyes also flashed a trace of unbearability.
"Lord, once you will succeed, your bones will wither, this is a critical time, don't hesitate"
Xu Shu persuaded softly, but Xu Shu also knew that it was okay to talk about it, but it took great courage to do it.
"Don't worry, I understand"
Mo Le looked back at Xu Shu and said with a very firm expression.
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, Qi Tian and Wang Meng have completed their tasks and come back bloody, and the epidemic in Guangling County has also spread, even throughout Xuzhou, and at this moment, all cities in Xuzhou have closed their cities.
On this day, Mo Le was discussing with Xu Shu, it was time to shift the strategic direction, the naval warships of Xiaoyao City were developed, and the second battlefield was completely opened, even if the plague spread in Xuzhou, it was suddenly interrupted by a guard.
"Report to the lord, there is a middle-aged man outside the city who asks to see, and he said that he hopes that the lord will give heaven grace and save the people of Xuzhou who are suffering."
