Chapter 274 Preparation
"Don't worry, grandfather, grandson will take care of himself, and so will you." Su Nancheng said.

While the grandparents were talking, the emperor came.It's because of Su Nancheng's face that he can get up so early.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he asked the imperial physician to set off with Su Nancheng with a large amount of medicinal materials.

In fact, it seems that there are many medicinal materials, but if you are facing 10 people in the army, it is tantamount to none.

However, the Ministry of Household Affairs has sent people out to buy medicinal materials, and the local Xiongshan Pass will also buy them.There are also medicinal materials in reserve in the army.

"I'm leaving now. Your Majesty is sitting in the palace. At least I can send back the news in time."

"Okay, Chiyu, you go, go well, come back well." Andi patted him on the shoulder again with emotion.

Su Nancheng got on his horse after leaving the palace, it was still dark, it was rare for him to run around the city once.

After leaving the city gate, he led the people all the way to the north.

The servant only took a dozen people with him, among the dozens of people raised in Zhuangzi before, Cheng Ming also took some with him when he went to Xinyang.

This group of people is responsible for bringing things out of the house.

Su Nancheng took a step forward, Pegasus and the people from the city defense battalion left first, leaving dozens of people behind with their things to chase slowly.

However, there can only be a difference of two or three days before and after, and if it is delayed, it will delay things.

It was October [-]th when we set off, but the capital city was far away from Xiongshan Pass, so Su Nancheng delivered letters to Fei Jiu every day while running wildly.

Finally arrived at Xiongshan County under Xiongshan Pass on the second day of November.There are already many patients here.

All the local officials can do is isolate them and smoke them with white vinegar and lime.

Fei Jiu is here waiting for Su Nancheng.

The two of them haven't seen each other for several years, Su Nancheng is now in the dust, dismounted and rushed over: "General!"

Fei Jiu also grew a beard, and smiled at him: "I've grown a lot taller."

"Really? The general has experienced a lot of vicissitudes, and he has been darkened a lot." The man who used to be like a fox is now very rough, but he looks strong.

"The wind blows at the border every day, of course it's going through a lot of vicissitudes, hahaha, let's go, I'll catch the wind for you." Fei Jiu and several lieutenants said.

"No, we can't waste time, let's go to the military camp. I still have an imperial edict here. It's best to receive the edict in the military camp." Su Nancheng said.

"There are still forty miles to go, can you still do it?" Fei Jiu looked behind.

"Okay, let's go first, and the imperial physician will chase after us." Su Nancheng said.

"It's true that it's not too late, and it's not too late. You are tired and horses are exhausted. You can do it, but the horses can't do it anymore. Tell them to rest." Fei Jiu said.

Su Nancheng had no choice but to agree, indeed, he suffered a lot along the way.

After taking a simple bite and not needing any relief, Su Nancheng asked, "How's it going?"

"Seven or eight thousand." Fei Jiu said.

Seven or eight thousand people are infected... Su Nancheng raised his heart: "Where is the thing I asked the general to prepare?"

"Yes, what are you going to do?"

"It's good to have it. The general knows that there is no rule of law for this smallpox. Once you get it, a city can be wiped out. Now the outbreak in the army, if it can't be controlled, it may be...not curable, but it can be prevented. Those who get it I can only rest in rest, but those who can't do it still have a chance." Su Nancheng said.

Fei Jiu frowned: "How sure are you?"

"Fifty percent." Su Nancheng said earnestly.

"Fifty percent..." Fei Jiu sighed, "This is an adventure."

"It's a risk, but what will happen if you let it go? If the Beiyi people take advantage of the present and go south, the consequences will be disastrous." Su Nancheng said.

"What does Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Your Majesty just follows the usual methods over the years. But everyone knows that there is no way to cure this disease. So the general needs to cooperate with me. I will go first." Su Nancheng said.

Fei Jiu didn't know what to do, so he frowned: "Don't take risks, I'll do it."

"You have to come if I succeed. Don't worry. Everyone has to come." Su Nancheng sighed: "I can definitely help you."

The streets in Xiongshan County are now empty, and there is no one who is not afraid of smallpox.

I haven't been to the army yet, so I don't know what it's like in the army.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went to the army.

As soon as I entered the barracks, I felt oppressed, and those who were sick were isolated, but now the army is panicked.

After all, it is smallpox, and there is no cure. Everyone knows that if you get this disease, you are close to death.

The soldiers are not in chaos now, but they are under the control of military discipline.

Su Nancheng asked someone to prepare the incense table and censer, and waited for the soldiers to gather together before delivering the decree.

The purpose is also simple, nothing more than saying that Su Nancheng is the imperial envoy who came to condolence and treat everyone on behalf of the emperor, acting on behalf of the emperor.

After reading the imperial decree, Su Nancheng stood on top and said loudly: "Your Majesty sent me this time, and I will not make everyone suffer. It is true that smallpox cannot be cured, but it can be prevented. Soldiers who have smallpox should not be afraid. The medicine is right behind, and it will arrive in three days at the latest, as long as you drink the medicine well and eat enough, you can get through it. At worst, you will have a pockmarked face, man."

When he said this, the soldiers who could hear in front were all whispering.

The generals in the army also looked at each other in various ways, mainly because no one had heard that smallpox could be prevented.

But they didn't dare to ask, they just looked at Fei Jiu.

Fei Jiu just frowned, but didn't say anything, and he wouldn't try to disrupt the situation at this time.

Everything has to wait for the doctor to come.

Su Nancheng and Fei Jiu brought face towels to see the sick soldiers. Su Nancheng immediately said that he would buy some meat from outside in his own name, so that the sick soldiers could eat well.

Eating well can't cure a disease, but eating well can make people more energetic.

At night, when Su Nancheng was talking to the generals in the tent, someone dared to ask: "May I ask the imperial envoy, is it true that you said smallpox can be prevented? There are no jokes in the army. If you say it, it can't be realized... I'm afraid there will be chaos."

"It is indeed possible, and the method may be shocking, but it doesn't matter. I will take precautions first." Su Nancheng smiled: "Anyway, we can't do nothing. In the past, smallpox was boiled, and life and death depended on the sky, but this disease is too contagious. Already seven or eight thousand soldiers in the army have been infected. If left unchecked, I don’t know how many more people will fall ill. Xiongshan County is like that, I don’t know how it will be elsewhere. If the disease can be suppressed in the army, at least this time smallpox I can hold it down."

Someone else wanted to ask, Fei Jiu raised his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, everything waits for the imperial doctor to come, three days at the latest, today is already over, two days at the latest."

Su Nancheng nodded: "Tomorrow I will send people to buy meat and food, and ask the sick brothers to eat and drink well."

Everyone was worried, so they had no choice but to leave first.

Su Nancheng really has no strength at this moment, and he left everything to Fei Jiu: "The person who troubled the general to settle me down, I really can't do it anymore, my thigh is broken."

After riding wildly for more than half a month, it's hard to die.
