At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 862 Backlash
The Chai brothers were the first patient to get sick. They were undoubtedly unfortunate, but they were also lucky, because they survived. The two fair and beautiful little boys turned into ugly monsters. Even if the scabs fell off in the future, they would still be left with pockmarks all over their faces, which was completely disfigured.

Everyone looked at the two little boys covered in rotten sores. They were both shocked and pitiful, and they subconsciously kept a distance. However, Sun Simiao didn't seem to care at all. He didn't even wear a face scarf, and said with a kind smile on his face: " Come on, the two young men stretch out their hands, let Pindao feel the pulse?"

The Chai brothers stretched out their small hands carefully, which were also covered with abscesses. Sun Simiao didn't mind, and calmly stretched out a finger to feel the pulse, and looked at the two tongue coatings, then cleaned his hands, and started Pick up a pen to write prescriptions.

Chai Lingwu asked weakly, "Grandpa Sun, are we going to die?"

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "No, you are almost healed, but you may be a little itchy next time, try not to scratch, if the lesion festers again, your life will be in danger, Pindao has prescribed a prescription for each of you, Drink it twice a day for seven days and you will be cured, and there is also a prescription for bathing, which can relieve itching."

The Chai brothers hurriedly saluted to express their gratitude. After all, they were from aristocratic backgrounds. Although they were young, they were very courteous.

Gao Bufan looked closely at the prescription written by Sun Simiao, and wondered: "Sun Daochang, both of them have smallpox, why are the prescriptions different?"

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really careful, because everyone's physique is different, and the degree of recovery is different, so the medication varies from person to person. For example, Chai Dalang has a better physique and weighs more than Chai Erlang, so the dosage can be heavier. But Chai Erlang is weaker and thinner, so the dosage of the medicine needs to be reduced, and Chai Erlang has a poor spleen and stomach, so Pindao added two more medicines, one to regulate the spleen and stomach, and the other to invigorate qi and raise yang, so as to treat both symptoms and root causes, and get twice the result with half the effort."

As the saying goes, an expert will know if there is one at a time, Gao Bufan couldn't help nodding his head and said: "So that's the case, it's too troublesome to diagnose and treat one by one, there are thousands of patients here, when will we finish seeing them? "

The wicked woman next to Sun Simiao snorted coldly and said, "If Emperor Qi is in a hurry, he can hire someone else!"

"Ruogu, don't be rude!" Sun Simiao scolded.

Gao Bufan didn't care, and said apologetically, "I'm really in a hurry, but I don't mean to offend Daoist Sun, because there are too many patients, and every day, some patients will die due to lack of timely treatment, or their condition will get worse."

Sun Simiao's heart moved: "Could it be that the emperor has a better way?"

"I believe that matters need to be taken in a hurry, and the medication does not need to be too detailed. Daoist Sun can quantify the medication according to a person's age and weight. For example, how much should be used under the age of three, how much should be used from the age of three to ten, and how much should be used for adults. A safe intermediate dose is used as a standard, and then the medicine is dispensed directly to each person according to the standard, so that Daoist Sun can free up energy and time to focus on treating critically ill patients, and it can also be relaxed."

Sun Simiao's eyes lit up, he stroked his beard and nodded, "This is not a bad idea. Your Majesty is really quick-witted. No wonder everything is in order here. If it were someone else, there would be rivers of blood, or the plague would have spread to the entire army."

Gao Bufan smiled and said modestly: "Mr. Sun is too honored. As the saying goes, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties."

Sun Simiao laughed and said, "The emperor's saying is novel and unique."

The wicked woman Ruogu glanced at Gao Bufan strangely, thoughtfully.

Immediately, Sun Simiao really drafted a set of medication standards, wrote them on paper and handed them to Gao Bufan, who then handed them over to his elder Sun Wuji, saying: "Wuji, immediately dispense medicines to each patient according to the above standards."

Changsun Wuji took it solemnly, and then bowed deeply to Sun Simiao, Li Jing and others were no exception.

It was only then that Gao Bufan suddenly realized that he might have accidentally broken other people's rules. Even in modern times, many secret recipes are kept secret, such as Coca-Cola, Yunnan Baiyao, and Feitian Moutai.In ancient times, this aspect would only be more stringent, but any useful recipes would most likely be kept secret, as secret recipes passed down from generation to generation, for the benefit of the family from generation to generation.I only wanted to save people, and suggested that Sun Simiao formulate standard medication, but I didn't expect that by doing so, I was undoubtedly ruining his job.

Thinking of this, Gao Bufan couldn't help sweating, no wonder Naruogu looked at him with such weird eyes, and said embarrassingly: "Daozhang Sun, am I a little bit of a force?"

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "The emperor is overwhelmed, it's just a prescription, it's not worth anything, as long as it can save one more person, it's worth it, even if the emperor doesn't mention it, Pindao is planning to write a book to pass on the experience of treating smallpox to future generations. "

Gao Bufan bowed deeply and said, "Daozhang Sun is worthy of the benevolence of a doctor, a virtuous hand, please accept my worship."

Sun Simiao turned sideways and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is honored. Once smallpox develops, it may not be cured even with poor medicine. Even if it is cured by chance, it will leave pockmarks all over the body, so the key is to prevent it. Ruogu , fetch the silver needle."

Although this Ruogu had a ferocious face, she was very respectful to Sun Simiao, and quickly took out a set of silver needles.Sun Simiao asked someone to fetch boiling water to soak the silver needle again, and then twisted a silver needle to carefully pierce the thick sore on Chai Zhewei's body, squeezed out some of the pus and put it in a bottle to collect.

This scene is undoubtedly extremely disgusting, and Pei Xingyan couldn't help asking curiously: "Why is Daoist Sun collecting these things?"

Sun Simiao smiled and said nothing, while Na Ruogu grinned and said, "The ointment you used to smear just now is made from this stuff."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, even Gao Bufan couldn't help feeling nauseated.

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "Everyone, please rest assured that these pus will not spread smallpox, but also have a preventive effect on smallpox. Pindao also discovered it by chance, and it has been tested and effective, so don't worry."

Although Gao Bufan is not a medical professional, as a modern person, he still knows that after recovering from a certain virus, there will be antibodies against the virus in his body for a period of time, so Sun Simiao's thinking is correct, and his approach should also be correct Yes, but...Gao Bufan still felt nauseous, just now he dug a large piece of that ointment and applied it on his nose and lips, and when he looked at Li Jing, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others, they also looked disgusted. The expression of the fly.

Next, Changsun Wuji arranged for manpower to dispense decoctions to patients according to the standards set by Sun Simiao, and the efficiency increased countless times, while Sun Simiao focused on the critically ill patients. With such a combination of prevention and treatment, the spread of smallpox was finally slowly suppressed. Half a month later, the daily new cases finally dropped to single digits. It is estimated that this terrible plague will be completely eradicated in half a month, and the morale of the Qi army has also stabilized. The crisis has also been resolved.

In September, the autumn was crisp and clear. Li Xuanba and Li Shimin stood on the tower of Tonghua Gate and looked at Chai Shao’s camp. Yaonu, dressed as an ordinary soldier of the Tang Army, stood beside Li Xuanba.

Li Shimin's eyes were cold and he didn't say a word, while Li Xuanba frowned, thoughtful.Yao Nu looked at Chai Shao's camp for a while, and said with a puzzled face, "It's been almost 20 days, smallpox should have broken out, why is Qi's camp still so calm, without any sign of collapse? "

Li Xuanba sighed and said: "It seems that Gao Changqing has expert help, and has suppressed this plague."

The medicine girl wondered, "How can you see that?"

Li Xuanba said calmly: "Half a month ago, Li Jing had transferred troops from the west of the city to block Chai Shao's camp, but now they have completely withdrawn. It can be seen that Chai Shao's troops have stabilized. If the plague does not suppress How could Li Jing transfer the soldiers away?"

"Is it possible that Gao Changqing murdered all Chai Shao's people?" Yao Nu asked.

Li Xuanba shook his head and said: "It is impossible to kill more than 2 people without anyone noticing."

Yao Nu's complexion changed, and she said suspiciously: "How could Gao Changqing have the ability to wipe out this smallpox, unless..."

Li Xuanba smiled wryly: "There is nothing impossible, the facts are right in front of you, Gao Changqing's son is indeed favored by the heavens, but...cough cough cough!"

Li Xuanba coughed violently as he spoke, Yao Nu hurriedly patted his back, but at this time, a guard who was guarding nearby also couldn't help coughing.

Li Xuanba stopped coughing, but the guard coughed more and more intensely, Yao Nu stepped forward, grabbed the guard's collar and opened it, her complexion changed drastically.

As long as a few dark red plaques suddenly appeared under the guard's neck.

Seeing this, Li Xuanba couldn't help taking a breath, and subconsciously touched his neck.
