Chapter 83: The Relentless Plague Spreads
Why did Mednan come back with his troops at this time?
After Alayanzong left the mountain city of Vikchi, the old general Mohumo led his troops to camp there for a few more days.
Due to the fact that there are very few residents in the city, and the isolation of their homes, coupled with the prescription of the Alayan sect and the diligent diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, only a few families have been infected with a few cases due to improper isolation, and the epidemic in the city has basically been controlled and has not spread on a large scale.
In view of this, General Mohu Moer decided to return to the north.
One is to return to the royal city to resume his life, and the other is that he wants to return to Accra Donghai City to garrison and leave the royal city.
Then the third son Mo Hu took a thousand soldiers to stay in the mountain city of Vikchi, and he and his eldest son Mo Hu led the team back to the north.
Because the plague has not been extinct, the imperial doctors from the royal city have not yet completed their mission, and still need to stay to continue to heal and prevent.
Before leaving, when he was packing up his belongings, he saw the iron armor, the old general opened the baggage, frowned slightly, as if remembering the old things, and asked Mo Wei, "Do you remember this iron armor?"
Silently glanced at the iron armor, the iron armor was as bright as new, seeing things and thinking about people, with a solemn face, he replied:
"Father, I naturally remember that this is a relic of the eldest brother. ”
Mo Wei Moer nodded, took off the sword at his waist one by one, and pulled out a section, the three-foot Xuanjian was cold, and the cold air was pressing.
The old general looked at it for a while, then inserted it back into the sheath, held it up, and said with a solemn face:
"And this sword, which is also a relic of your eldest brother, I wore it to remind me not to forget to find the whereabouts of your eldest brother and his family. These two items were found in the Taoist temple back then, but I don't know how they appeared in the Taoist temple. Have you sent back the man you sent to find out where the boy came from?"
Mo Wei lowered his head endlessly and said, "The people haven't come back yet, the road is far away, and it will take some time." ”
The old general pondered for a moment, hung the sword back on his waist, tied the iron armor burden again, and said, "We won't wait, tell your fourth brother, what news and correspondence are exchanged." Ready to pull out!"
Mo Wei promised endless courtesy, exited the room, and went to find the fourth brother, naturally he gave some advice, and then prepared to lead the troops on the road.
The army marched all the way north. Hungry and thirsty, Xiaoxing lives at night, crosses mountains and mountains, and travels.
Although there was no fighting during the march, the old general Mohu Moer felt extremely tired and confused, and still did not understand a few questions.
One is that his violent nephew has different policies towards the two cities, which makes him puzzled.
Look at the prince and nephew, although he is violent, but he is not faint, different policies must be because of different ideas, but what he thinks, others do not know.
One was that the masked boy's words and deeds puzzled him.
He seemed to know a lot about the secrets of the Mo family. If he is the son of Mo Wu, why does he not recognize us, and if he is not, where does he know all that information?
All this shows that he must be related to Mo Wuwu. If he is really the grandson of the eldest brother, then is it necessary to let him inherit the throne according to the will of the eldest brother?
It's a big headache. What does the current king Mo Wujiang think? If he knew that his own nephew was still alive, would he agree to abdicate the throne?
Is it necessary to report these unwarranted possibilities to him?
The old general Mohumo Moore has been thinking about these questions repeatedly. It wasn't until the army reached Wangchenggen'er that he made a decision not to tell his royal nephew about it for the time being, waiting for the results of the investigation.
The old general Mohumo sent someone to inform the king that the army had returned to the royal city. The reply was that all the troops were stationed outside the city and were not allowed to enter the royal city, and those who violated the order would not be killed.
In addition to the surprise of this news, the old general Mo Wei Moer was even more angry, his beard was raised high, and he asked the herald what was the reason?
The herald replied that the plague had been found in the royal city, and that the plague was spreading, and that the royal city had imposed a ban on only leaving and not entering, including the prince's troops.
Even the prince didn't have to go into the city to report it, just write a note and let the herald take it to the city gate, and then the guards would send it to the palace.
There was no way, the king's order was difficult to disobey, and the old general Mo Moer had to give an order to camp the whole army of 6,000 Erlang outside the city, repair another book, and hand it over to the heralds.
The old general felt unusually depressed, and he felt that he, the king's nephew, was more protective of him than a thief. This made him even more convinced that he must find out the identity of the masked boy.
The army was stationed outside the city for a few days, and the old general Mohumo Moer felt that it was not a solution, so he asked for orders to lead the army back to the East Sea City of Accra.
Unexpectedly, this was allowed quickly, and after receiving the king's decree, there was another one, saying that when he arrived in Accra Donghai City, he would strengthen the city's vigilance to prevent the spread of the plague.
The old general did not stop for a moment, so he set up camp and led the army to the city of East China Sea in Accra.
Inside the Murphy King City.
King Mo Wu Wu was already thundering, and the reports from all over the country flew like snowflakes, with few happy events and many sorrows.
Much of that sorrow was about the plague.
Although the city-state of Allah has become an empty city, some of the soldiers left behind have been infected with the plague. From this point, he had already guessed that Prince Mohumo did not do what he wanted, leaving the lives of the officers and soldiers who slaughtered the city.
But he could not say this in front of the ministers, because it was his secret decree.
As a result, he suspected that there were also potential infected people in the army led by the old general Mohumore, so he decided not to let them into the city.
The reality is that some time ago, some homeless people came to the royal city, and the plague spread. He has ordered these displaced people to be brought together and centrally managed and controlled.
Of course, he also sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat prevention.
Limited to the fact that there were also infected people in the city, a ban was issued against going out, and the imperial doctor went door-to-door to investigate.
and the people of the village who lived outside the castle also had plague patients. After the ministers researched it, it was found that these villages were the places where the exiles who had escaped from Allah's Marina Citadel and the hill town of Vikchi passed.
Therefore, King Mo Wujiang ordered to send troops to set up checkpoints to intercept the displaced people from the south, and if the plague patients were found to be treated on the spot, it would not spread again.
Why didn't he send the old general Mo Humo to guard the intersections of the villages? It was because he felt that his uncle, the king, had two hearts with him, and that he would disobey his royal decree, and that there would be two of them, and that he would not truthfully follow the order.
Therefore, he divided his troops from the forbidden army of Wangcheng, except for the 20,000 forbidden troops who were left to guard Wangcheng, the rest of the troops had been dispatched, and almost all those generals were sent.
Even the quartermaster Mednanqiang received the king's order and went back to his hometown to garrison him.
There are, of course, more important reasons for sending Mednanqiang home. Now that the plague outbreak requires a large number of medicinal herbs, the inventory in the royal city is already low, and it needs to be replenished in time.
The troops need to carry military rations when they go out, and the food in the Wangcheng warehouse is rapidly decreasing.
The plain area of the Dread Manor is the main grain producing area and medicinal herb supply base of the Uzbek country. Nearly half of the rations and herbs each year come from Dread Manor. The king ordered Medenand to go back to urge food and medicine.
Mednanqiang felt that this was a three-pronged difference, so he rushed back with his troops. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home, he hit a hard nail, which made him swallow this breath.
