Chapter 133: The Epidemic
Since that time Yu Jingning's fraudulent assistance, the Wuliangha soldiers in Guangning City seem to have wilted, and no matter how provocative they are, they will never dare to go out of the city.
Not only because he was afraid that Yu Jingning would come back to reinforce their troops, but also because the place guarded by the Heng army was next to the Daling River, although it was not a tailwind, but it was the upper reaches of the river, and it took advantage of the location.
Yu Zhiwei's injury was not good, Yu Jingning didn't dare to let her go into battle to fight the vanguard again, but she didn't want to be idle, so she had to do something like strategizing.
When she had nothing to do, she inquired about what if the Uliangha people also had a way to fight the epidemic.
The old military doctor was old, and several apprentices stayed in the army together, touching his beard and asking Yu Zhiwei: "The girl has also learned a lot of ways to use soldiers with Mr. Yu, so why is the camp always in the upper wind?" ”
"If you look at it from the general's side, because of the condescending position, it is much easier to have a smooth sail, whether it is a ship battle or a fire attack." Yu Zhiwei was transparent, and she understood at that time, and said with a smile to the old military doctor who could be her grandfather, "And for your old man, it is because the water source is clean, well ventilated, and not easy to get sick." ”
"The girl is smart." The old military doctor looked approving, shook his head and memorized the medical book, "The epidemic is caused by the introduction of the epidemic poison from the mouth and nose. This disease is caused by a sense of unhealthy qi, or headache, fever, or neck swelling, and hair, which is also a plague in the sky. If a person's illness infects a room, the disease of a room infects a township or a town. It is evidence of cold and heat, spitting yellow saliva in the mouth, and even madness. As for how to dye a city, most of it is because the water source is not clean. ”
Although Yu Zhiwei came to Liaodong to be Yu Jingning's deputy general, I don't know if she was afraid of calling "Deputy General Yu" and "General Yu" for fear of confusion, or in order to appear more cordial, few people in the army called her "Deputy General Yu", most of them were called "girl" and "girl", just like at home.
The old military doctor spoke again: "There is no living water in the city of Quang Ninh, and no canals have been dug before, so most of them are digging wells to get water. Most of the water in the well is stagnant water, and it is much easier to make it dirty and drink it again than it is to drink the water of the Daling River like ours. Besides, medicine was used in our army early on, drinking water was boiled, and clothes and bedding were exposed to the sun. They are used to drinking blood, and they don't understand such a truth. Yes, the girl doesn't have to worry. ”
Yu Jingning threw his body into the city before, and he had indeed achieved the beginning of polluting the water source, but Yu Zhiwei still had doubts in his heart: "But if the Hu people send spies, they don't need to be too clever, they just need to find out that our army is using medicine, and they can also boil drinking water." What if they did the same? ”
The old military doctor touched his beard and laughed: "Mr. Yu is a good hand at fighting with the girl, but he doesn't know as much medical science as the old man......"
Yu Zhiwei took advantage of the fact that he didn't finish laughing, and hurried up to pat his ass: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and we Qiu Ba still rely on you to save our lives." ”
When the old military doctor heard this, he really smiled red, and said: "The people say: 'One side of the water and soil raises the other side', and when the water and soil change, the human body will have a lot of discomfort. The girl should know what is the reason for not adapting to the water and soil? Liaodong is not too far from Jingshi, and it is all in the north, so the girl doesn't feel much, but the Hu people may not. If people are still unaccustomed to the water and soil, then the epidemic will be more likely to infect. ”
Yu Zhiwei held up a finger, and suddenly felt enlightened: "Oh, I understand. The Hu people are not accustomed to water and soil, but the epidemic is the boundary of our Han people, and it is 'to serve water and soil'. ”
"That's it." The old military doctor continued, "Moreover, the epidemic is fierce, they are not used to it, the attacks are more violent, and the medicine we take may not be effective for them." Unless a miracle doctor comes out and uses a few doses of fierce medicine, they will have to be so sick that they can't stand up. ”
Yu Zhiwei was very excited to cheer for the old man, and he couldn't make people happy.
While chatting, the old man suddenly patted his head and said, "Eh, look at my memory, I forgot again." The old man reminded the girl that since it is called 'the epidemic', then this focus has to fall on the 'time', and the hair disease in the summer will not be delayed in the winter. In July, I hope that Mr. Yu and the girl will make plans early, don't miss the opportunity. ”
After that, the old man with the fairy wind bones floated away, leaving Yu Zhiwei, who had a clear face, and had an epiphany on the spot.
Sure enough, as the old military doctor expected, it didn't take long for a soldier to appear in Guangning City who had a summer fever, and then started a scab.
The summer was hot, and people were tired, and it took a long time just to deal with the stumps and broken arms that Yu Jingning threw into the city, and everyone who came into contact with them was more or less uncomfortable.
Soon, people began to die of illness in the city.
The five big and three thick men fell to the ground in a few days, couldn't get up, and finally smoked into a small group, and died in a few days.
An inexplicable panic spread throughout Quang Ninh City, and people praying to the Immortal Heaven could be seen everywhere.
Bilege has managed it many times, and asked them not to panic, and they will naturally get better if they take medicine with peace of mind. But most of these Hu people have some traditions of believing in witches and not doctors, and they don't believe in military doctors very much, and even think that those medicinal soups are not very useful.
As a result, this kind of prayer has been repeatedly prohibited.
But the more people pray, the more unstable the morale of the army becomes, and then more people will join the ranks, and it's a vicious circle.
Even if he knew that this kind of thing would shake the morale of the army, there was nothing he could do - although he had the power to deter, he did not have the ability to make the soldiers all sick and free of illness overnight, and go to battle with him in high spirits.
Bayar stood in the setting sun, looking at the soldiers who were almost unable to stand with their weapons with a sad face, and felt very uncomfortable for a while.
The wound on his neck was still not healed, and he was still wrapped in thick gauze, and now there was an inexplicable and frightening disease circulating in the city, which could not calm him down.
Bilegg slowly walked behind the young man and whispered, "Great Khan." ”
Bayar was concentrating on his worries, and his face twitched a few times when he heard this, and only after seeing the person who came did he calm down and whispered: "Billeg, do you think I will also be infected with that terrible plague. ”
Bileg looked at his face twitching, almost thinking that he was about to fall in front of him and foam at the mouth, but he was also frightened, and hurriedly said: "The Great Khan has the blessing of immortality, naturally not." ”
The two of them moved a little heavily, and suddenly they flew away three or two crows standing on the branches of the trees in the city, and they croaked and screamed into the sky.
Bileg's pupils widened, and he always felt that this scene was indescribably infiltrating.
