Chapter 445: Li Guangyi dies
"Yes."
"Also, make thick porridge for those who have been infected with the plague, so that they don't have enough to eat."
"But there is not much food now, and the grain of the government has been completely released......
"Then deduct it from our grain and grass, I have sent someone to tell the emperor the news here, if it is soon, someone will come in the next few days, as long as we can survive this time."
When the adjutant heard that Li Guangyi wanted to save grain from the grain and grass in the army and give it to the people, he disagreed, after all, the grain and grass in the army were also limited.
"Our food and grass have been given to the people, so what about the soldiers?"
"The most important thing in front of us now is the affairs of the people, as for the food and grass of the soldiers, the court will send people to transport it in the future, as long as we hold on for a few days."
After hearing Li Guangyi's insistence, the adjutant could only obey the order, but fortunately, after he told the soldiers in the barracks the news, everyone did not object, and they all left a little bit from their own rations.
Although the problem of food has been solved, the problem of the plague has not been cured, and isolation is not a solution, and the two Langzhong did not dare to diagnose and treat the people who were infected with the plague, so they could only write a prescription at home, so that people could grasp the medicine and give it to the people to drink.
Many people have gradually begun to become numb, and the family life was fine, but suddenly one person was infected with the plague, and the whole family collapsed.
At first, they will have opinions about the government, but later they will be like walking corpses, completely ignoring the death of the people around them, and in their eyes, only their own survival is the most important thing.
Because of this, some bad behaviors gradually began to appear in the crowd. There were many people fighting for food, and there were even people who felt that they would not live long and wanted to deliberately infect the people around them with the plague, which happened many times a day, and the soldiers rushed back and forth, which barely managed to maintain the situation.
"General, one of the soldiers has also contracted the plague." The adjutant ran to Li Guangyi in a panic and said.
"What? Isn't it for them to protect themselves? Li Guangyi is very sad, in the current situation, every loss of a soldier will have a very significant impact.
"The subordinates did tell them, but they couldn't prevent it, when they went to isolate those people, some people didn't want to go, they just wanted to stay at home all the time, and the soldiers were bitten on the arm when they wanted to take him away, and they didn't care at first, but the next day they had symptoms of the plague."
"Where is he now?" Li Guangyi said as he sorted out his bags.
"General, do you want to go and see it?" After seeing Li Guangyi's movements, the adjutant asked in some surprise.
"As the general of this barracks, I naturally want to visit."
"But you ......"
"Don't worry, I won't be infected with the plague, I can't fall." Li Guangyi said firmly.
If he falls under such circumstances, then the entire city is likely to be paralyzed directly, and the situation will get out of control, and he must not let such a thing happen.
Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, the adjutant could only take Li Guangyi to the soldier's tent, Li Guangyi walked in, and found that the soldier was lying on the bed and the whole person was very weak and pale.
When he saw Li Guangyi appear in his tent, he struggled to get up from the bed and salute Li Guangyi, but Li Guangyi hurriedly reached out to support him.
"You don't have to get up, just lie on the bed, have you drunk today's medicine?" Li Guangyi's tone was very concerned.
The soldier didn't expect Li Guangyi to come to see him in person, and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Back to the general's words, my subordinates have already drunk the medicine today." ”
"Don't worry, now that the imperial court knows about this matter, the plague will soon have a solution, and you must hold out until that time." Li Guangyi held the soldier's hand and said, without the slightest suspicion.
The adjutant watched Li Guangyi's movements from the side, trying to persuade but not knowing how to speak, he knew that if he said it, Li Guangyi would definitely reprimand him, saying that he would not consider the feelings of the soldiers.
"General, my subordinates have a request." Li Guangyi was about to leave when the soldier suddenly stopped him.
"What a request, you say."
"My mother also lives in this city, can you help me see how she is doing?" The soldier looked at Li Guangyi with hope in his eyes.
Li Guangyi nodded without thinking: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the news for you." ”
As soon as he left the tent, he ordered someone to investigate the matter, and the results were soon forthcoming.
"General, the soldier's mother has been found." The adjutant came to Li Guangyi and said, but there was hesitation in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Could it be that something is happening? Li Guangyi asked the adjutant.
"Her mother is also infected with the plague now, and she is in the crowd we have isolated." The adjutant said with some sadness that he did not expect such a result in the end.
"General, are we going to tell him the truth?"
"Don't tell the truth for the time being," Li Guangyi said after thinking about it, "If you tell him, he will probably lose hope in life, let's just say that his mother is fine now, just let him recuperate with peace of mind." ”
When the adjutant heard this, he said that he understood Li Guangyi's approach, and after he left the tent, he told the soldier about it, and sure enough, he saw hope in the soldier's eyes, and the whole person became energetic.
However, the soldier died of the plague within a few days, and in order to prevent contagion, he had to put his body and the dead people together.
"General, now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and more and more people are infected with the plague, what should I do now?"
The adjutant was very worried when he said this, now what they lack is a heavy rain, the hotter the weather, the faster the plague spreads, if it rains at this time, maybe the scope of the plague can be controlled.
"I don't know when the imperial court will be able to send reinforcements." Li Guangyi sat at the table with white lips, and now such a thing is much more tricky to deal with than when he leads his troops to fight.
After he had a general understanding of today's situation, he wanted to get up and go outside to have a look, but he fainted directly on the ground in the dark, and when he woke up, he was already lying in his tent, and the people around him, although they were all in a circle, were a certain distance away from him.
"It's okay, I'm just too tired these days." Li Guangyi didn't want the soldiers to worry, and wanted to sit up from the bed while waving his hand, but he felt weak, and his whole body was sweating profusely, and gradually a terrible thought came to his heart.
"Am I ......" Li Guangyi did not say the last few words, but after looking at the eyes of the people around him, it was already certain that he himself was infected with the plague.
"You all leave, don't stay in the tent." After determining this matter, Li Guangyi immediately began to drive away the soldiers around him, he did not want to let them be infected because of himself.
The soldiers had no choice but to leave one by one, and finally the adjutant was left alone in the tent.
"Why are you still here? Didn't it let you go? Li Guangyi yelled at the adjutant.
"The subordinates won't leave, and the subordinates will come to deliver medicine to the general if they have nothing to do in the future, and the general will definitely get better."
The adjutant said this, but whether it was him or Li Guangyi, he felt that this sentence was just an ethereal wish. Since the outbreak of the plague to the present, no one has survived this catastrophe.
Li Guangyi shook his head and did not respond to what the adjutant said, but after a few days, he felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, and when he finally wanted to do something, the whole person was speechless, and soon he left because of the plague.
When they learned that Li Guangyi had also died due to the plague, the soldiers were a little at a loss, and now that the backbone of the entire barracks was gone, what should they do?
However, this is not what worries them the most, what worries them the most is the death of Li Guangyi, which soon reached the ears of the people, and those who had pinned their hopes on Li Guangyi before lost their light in an instant, and people gradually began to lose order, rushing food and water to make themselves desperately survive.
There are even some people who deliberately hide that they are infected with the plague and want to leave this place forever.
By the time the people in the court came here, it was already quite chaotic. Li Guangyi's matter quickly reached Chu Zhuangyan's ears, he didn't expect that he had waited for so long, and what he had been waiting for was actually this result.
"Send people to the border at once, and all the nearby troops will go, and you must surround those people in that city, and don't let them come out."
"But if the emperor does this, will it arouse the disgust of those people?" A minister asked worriedly.
"There's no way to be disgusted, be sure to trap them there." Chu Zhuangyan said categorically, he didn't want this matter to expand.
The soldiers were quick to make a move, and all the exiled people were driven back to their previous city, and the gates were heavily guarded, and they could only enter and exit.
"Let us out! We don't want to be with these people! A group of civilians, who had not been infected with the plague, yelled at the soldiers guarding the city gates.
"The emperor has ordered that no one should step out of this city for half a step, and as for the plague, the imperial court will send a doctor to solve it for you."
At first, the guards talked to these people with pleasant faces, but later, the relationship between the two parties has become like fire and water, once there are people who want to leave the city without permission, if they can't be dissuaded, they will be killed on the spot, although this matter caused a lot of controversy, but finally controlled the spread of the plague.
