Chapter 92: Dawn

"Unparalleled in the sea, the first public recommendation!"
These eight words were used many years ago to describe Ji Qu's medical skills, and because of this miracle doctor's temper and his usual caustic words, there is no shortage of people who provoke this evaluation.
However, these provocations have made Ji Quzhi famous as "a man with no vain under the fame".
This time, Ji Qu's illness continued to fulfill this sentence.
Less than two days after he arrived in Yanzhou, although he had not yet found a cure for the epidemic, he pointed out to the point why no one of the Rong people was infected with the epidemic and the Wei people died in large numbers - it was not that God favored the Rong people, let alone that the great sacrifice of the Rong people really had any divine power or not.
Rather, for a simple, almost everyone's sake - horses!
If it weren't for Ji Qu's illness and waking up, the people who were hoping that Duanmu Xinmiao would find a way to diagnose and cure him would not have noticed at all - almost all the soldiers who were infected with the epidemic were all foot soldiers! Only the cavalry, almost no one was infected with the epidemic!
The few who were infected were also careless, and were extremely close to the infected people; Having taken something that should not have been taken; Or the corpses of infected people who have been cleaned up in the early stage.
After Ji Qubing saw this, it was very clear that the Rong people were not affected by the epidemic - whether it was the Di people or the Rong people, they all grew on horseback. Since the Great Wei cavalry trained the day after tomorrow is not afraid of epidemics, the Rong people who have been on horses almost all their lives will certainly not be infected!
After this cause was found, although the epidemic was still spreading, it was greatly curbed after the horses were divided.
At the same time, this discovery was widely disseminated to refute the rumors that the Rong people were favored by heaven and the Wei people were wrathed by heaven......
The situation has finally seen a little light.
As soon as Ji Qu's illness arrived, he had such a credit, and everyone's hearts were full of hope.
But in the next way to find a cure for this severe epidemic, Ji Quzhi was also in trouble.
There is no other reason, acupuncture and moxibustion 'medicine' stones are all paid attention to slowly.
The more famous the doctor, the more able he is to point to the source of the disease and treat the symptoms in one fell swoop, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
But this kind of severe epidemic died in the morning and night.
Even if Ji Quzhi tried to prepare a few pairs of 'medicine', he often couldn't wait for the 'medicine' to fully take effect, and the person was already dead......
Over the course of a few days, he saved very few people.
Most of these few people are exceptionally able-bodied.
And because of the epidemic for several days, the people who were once raised by the 'fine' flour and fine grains were strong and strong, even if they were not infected with the epidemic at this moment, they were tossed and emaciated by the fear and the attack of the Rong people...... How many people are still healthy at this time?
Even Shen Zangfeng, the coach who received the most preferential treatment, was cleared......
"The only way to do this is to find out the source of the disease and eradicate it. Then use horses to avoid this terrible epidemic and prevent the spread of the disease. Then try to heal. After Ji Quzhi discussed with Duanmu Xinmiao, he proposed to Shen Zangfeng, "My master and apprentice are not 'fine', and it is unlikely that I will find a way to diagnose and treat it for the time being. Please also ask the king to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Shen Zangfeng, who had lost a lot of weight, bowed slightly: "The source of the epidemic, I have some clues. ”
He raised his eyes and looked at the towering and dead city walls of Yanzhou City in the distance, "After recapturing Yanzhou City that day, because the soldiers were tired, they ordered the foot soldiers to enter the city to rest for a day, and some of the cavalry continued to pursue...... Since most of the houses in the city were destroyed, it was fearful that the remaining people would be disturbed. And they were to set up their tents in the streets of the city to rest, and not to enter their homes. ”
This was because he cared about the people in the city, and also considered that after resting, he would immediately send these troops to continue northward to help the cavalry expel the Rong people, so there was really no need to spend 'spending' and 'fine' efforts to find a place to live for a night's rest.
As a result, doing so turned out to be the way of the Rong people.
"It's just that although it was not the middle of winter at that time, it was also late autumn, and I was afraid that the soldiers would suffer from the cold at night, and found a large number of foxes, rats, and otter skins in the storeroom, but they were not well peeled, and many of them were broken, and there were even fleas...... Some of the generals called the shots and distributed them to keep them warm......"
Speaking of this, Shen Zangfeng's 'chest' mouth was suffocated-his face was blue for a long time before he continued, "Most of the people who died of the epidemic in the cavalry were probably the ones who received the skin to keep out the cold......
In fact, the skins stored by the Rong people in the Yanzhou treasury were not enough to distribute to all the soldiers.
According to the original intention of the distributor, it was to be distributed only to the pawns.
The main cavalry was usually treated more favourably than the foot soldiers, who generally had enough clothing to keep them warm and could hold their horses for warmth if necessary, and were the worst of all the troops.
But if you can't hold on to too many people, the people below will do tricks. Many people think that although the skin is not peeled well and there are fleas, it is always fresh...... Even if you are not short of so many pieces to keep out the cold, you can use the excuse that you need to take a few pieces and stuff them in your arms, and then go back and pack them up and sell them, which is always a lot of extra money.
Let's go back to that question: this is a coalition army, not all of Shen Zangfeng's descendants.
Therefore, Shen Zangfeng's orders were persistently carried out in the Xiliang army, but in the armies from other places...... That is, Yang Feng 'Yin' violated!
As a result, many foot soldiers who should have been led were not received, and cavalry or generals who should not have been led were taken.
Later, when the epidemic became popular, according to the experience of the plague in the former army, as well as the precautions against the Rong people, Shen Zangfeng immediately thought of the wrong thing about this batch of skins - in fact, when he heard that there was such a large number of skins in the warehouse, he doubted: "The Rong people occupied Yanzhou, but they coveted the imperial capital and the Central Plains, and they didn't come to exchange markets with us, why did they bring so many skins to occupy the treasury of Yanzhou?" If it is a living creature, it will not be able to eat or wear it! I'm afraid there is something wrong with this batch of skins. ”
The problem is that the storeroom where the skins are stored is relatively remote. As the commander of the coalition forces and the strongest in his own right, the generals tacitly gave him the biggest oil and water, which is the place where the regular baggage and valuable prey are stored.
Similarly, it is impossible for Shen Zangfeng to take all the spoils of the city for himself, and he must leave some other places for Mo Binwei and others to share.
When he said the above words, he only found out after the leather had already been distributed throughout the city, and the person in charge of telling him what had been found in the city in the Xiliang army had been announced!
And when he summoned the generals to express their suspicions, the generals did not dare to say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words was that they suspected that he wanted to monopolize it - in fact, when those people decided to divide a kupi zi, they were afraid that he would monopolize it - or that they wanted to take the majority of it themselves.
…… I can't say who should be blamed for this matter, after all, the generals of the coalition army, in addition to people like Shen Zangfeng who are rich and noble, have a lofty vision, there are many people from ordinary people, and some people are even more humble from humble backgrounds.
They are accustomed to living a humble life, and have long been accustomed to seeing the slightest benefit and not letting go of it, and at the same time deeply guarding against others taking the benefit from their arms...... So under the pretext of distributing it to the soldiers, I took the opportunity to be greedy for ink...... These people have long been used to it.
Shen Zangfeng's persuasion was fruitless, and Yanzhou City had just been defeated at that time, so he had a lot of things to do as a coach...... Moreover, Hong Jin, Shangguan Shiyi and others also thought that Yanzhou had only been subordinated, and Donghu and other places needed to be recovered, and it was really impossible to make the army dirty for the sake of a Kupizi - after all, no one had ever heard of this kind of epidemic.
Everyone thinks that after these flea skins are sent down, the most serious thing is that the soldiers are bitten by fleas and itch all over their bodies, which will affect their combat effectiveness - but this problem is not big, a prescription from the hand of Ji Quzhi has a miraculous effect on the treatment of this kind of bite, this recipe is not complicated and expensive, and the 'medicine' materials in the army are very neatly prepared, and the 'medicine' can solve this problem by boiling the pot after dawn - for the soldiers, they can be exchanged for a skin that can be exchanged for silver coins after being bitten overnight, and they are very happy.
Shen Zangfeng shook his head when he saw that it was useless to say more, so he had to tell them to clean up the skins before sending them out - the problem is that the sky is dark after the battlefield is cleaned, there is no sun, so many people are crowded into the city, it is difficult to drink water and eat, how to clean it up? Wash? Surely you can't 'dry' it, how can you wrap it up at night to keep warm?
So it's a shake...... The person in charge of distributing the skin didn't have so much effort to shake, and sent it to the soldiers to let them dispose of it themselves.
So many people are shaking the fleas on their skins, and it is conceivable that the result is a city full of fleas.
Except for those cavalrymen who are not greedy to take the skin of the foot soldier and accompany the horse every day, Xu is because of the smell of horses, Xu is because of anything else...... Not bitten by fleas......
Yanzhou became a dead city in this way.
What hurts Shen Zangfeng the most is:
Because the Xiliang army strictly implemented his orders, there were almost no cavalry in the Xiliang army. His cavalry was intact.
However, almost all the Xiliang foot soldiers were assigned skins......
After all, he is the commander-in-chief, and his descendant army must be taken extra care of. Whether it is to divide the spoils of war or to reward meritorious deeds. This is something that everyone knows by heart, and it is also a sign of respect for the manager.
Moreover, in terms of descendants, soldiers and horses are also the most powerful among his subordinates.
But this time, this special care, which was tacitly acquiesced, hurt Xiliangjun.
…… So far, the proportion of foot soldiers of the Xiliang Army dying from the epidemic is the highest!
Lu Shengping alone reported to Wei Changying, who died of 3,000 'jing' strokes on the fifth day, and 1,800 people belonged to the Xiliang Army!
Why are they all 'fine' pawns? When those skins are not enough to distribute to all the foot soldiers...... As a commander-in-chief, who wouldn't prioritize the 'fine' pawns?!
Therefore, Shen Zangfeng ignored Duanmu Xinmiao's 'sex' and identity, and immediately ordered Lu Shengping to ask Duanmu Xinmiao to rush to Yanzhou.
But what he didn't expect was that even if Ji Qu's illness came, he would not be able to deal with this terrible epidemic!
"If this is the case, then the 'medicine' to kill fleas is a trivial matter. The problem is that now the epidemic is in all directions...... "Ji Qu Shen 'groaned', "and ask King Ding to send people to post notices everywhere, and attach a prescription for flea extermination, and ...... I also want to ask the imperial capital and other places to send back the 'medicine' materials......"
Shen Zangfeng listened carefully to his experience and reminders, nodded his head, and at the end, he got up and bowed deeply to him and Duanmu Xinmiao, and said: "Zangfeng has thanked your master and apprentice for this great kindness on behalf of my Great Wei army!" We will never forget the two high righteousness! ”
This time the epidemic is so dangerous, but whether it is Duanmu Xinmiao or Ji Quai, after receiving the news and knowing the danger of this trip, they still set off without a word.
Duanmu Xinmiao didn't have time to finish eating, he didn't shy away from the difference between men and women, and didn't hesitate to pay attention to his reputation as a lady; Ji Quai's illness was still holding his old beloved son Ji Jiashu to teach him hand in hand, and after hearing the news, he put down Ji Jiashu and said lightly, "Go to Yanzhou for your father, you must be filial to your elders at home, and listen to the words of your uncle and mother", and walked away without looking back!
It was only on the road that these two famous doctors quietly and frequently wet their clothes......
Even if this master and apprentice have not been able to cure the severe epidemic so far, it is enough to deserve Shen Zangfeng's personal gratitude.
"Although our master and apprentice have always looked at the world coldly because of their own experiences, we didn't have the heart of a doctor or parent in the past." Ji Quai, who has always spoken harshly, said indifferently, "But after all, they are all the people of Great Wei...... Even if the Great Wei has already existed in name only, no matter how the Central Plains changes the dynasty, it is also a matter for us and others! When it comes to foreign races, the husband is also responsible, and the king's words are out of sight. ” ..
