After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 269 Reappearance of the Plague
It was deputy team leader Sun Ping who immediately made a decision: "Xiao Zheng, go see if the weapons we buried are still there. Xiao He, take two people to follow and check the situation."

Xiao He looked a little solemn: "What if they want to kill Captain An?"

There was a hint of cruelty in Sun Ping's eyes: "We can only break out of the siege first."

"But... wouldn't the mission fail?"

"If we die, the mission will still fail. And the city lord said that during the mission, you should put your own personal safety first!"

An Peilin was dragged into the tent.

After lurking here for ten days and a half, An Peilin naturally knew that this was the tent of Wang Lun, the largest leader under the King of Zhoushan.

He quickly calculated in his mind that he had been unable to get into their senior management before, but now that he was caught, he really wanted to plant flowers but not to plant willows.

An Peilin instantly thought of countless situations and solutions in his mind.

"Leader, the person is here!" the man reported back to the person behind the screen, "This is the person who spreads the news about Jinzhou Prefecture everywhere, causing panic among the believers below. The humble official has found out that this person appeared in the city twenty days ago Among our team, there is a man named Goudan who claims to be here to find his father and mother. This man is sneaky and has been instigating the believers to go to Jinzhou Prefecture to make a living. His intentions are to be punished! "

An Peilin's heart skipped a beat. He never expected that this spy had only been working as a spy for more than ten days, but he had already been touched by someone!
Now, there is danger, but also opportunity!

There was a screen in the room, and there was a thin figure behind the screen. He was followed by seven or eight people, all sitting on chairs, looking at him curiously and uneasily.

However, An Peilin keenly noticed that two of them seemed to be in bad spirits, breathing rapidly, and coughing in a low voice from time to time.

Recently, many believers in Gongzhou have developed symptoms of wind and cold.

In the coldest month of winter, the temperature dropped sharply. They had neither cotton-padded clothes nor medicine. Getting sick was common, so An Peilin was not suspicious.

One of the older women said in a hoarse voice: "Those who confuse the public with their monstrous words and promote other doctrines should be dragged down and burned to death!"

"It's better to interrogate him first to see if he is a spy from Jinzhou Mansion!"

"We and the king of Jinzhou Prefecture have always been on the same page. Why, he wants to take the initiative to start a war with us?"

The person behind the screen slowly walked out.

There was a sudden silence in the lobby.

An Peilin looked up and saw a strong man in his early thirties. He has a Chinese character face, a long beard, dark skin, and looks a little gloomy.

An Peilin was pushed down to his knees on the cold floor, raising his head slightly. The man came over and looked at him condescendingly: "Are you from Jinzhou Prefecture?"

An Peilin's mind turned over and over for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Master, this villain is not from Jinzhou Prefecture, but from Gongzhou Shanggang Village, which is next to Jinzhou Prefecture. When you led people to occupy Gongzhou Prefecture, The whole family fled and separated, so I followed him. I wonder what mistake the villain made, why do you think I am a spy? "

"You spread news about Jinzhou Prefecture, which shook the confidence of our believers, and even incited them to run in the direction of Jinzhou Prefecture. And you still say you are not a spy?"

Wang Lun scolded him. If he was timid, he might be frightened and unable to stand.

However, An Peilin still said with a smile on his face: "Master, I am telling the truth. The people in Jinzhou Mansion are indeed living a good life. How can telling the truth be called spreading rumors? Besides, the believers are fleeing towards Jinzhou Mansion. , that’s because their religious beliefs are not firm enough, so what does it have to do with villains?”

This statement made everyone stunned.

"Speaking like a glib!" Wang Lun lost face after being rejected by An Peilin, and immediately became angry, "Even if you didn't spread rumors to cause trouble, it is true that you have shaken the morale of the army! Drag him down and burn him! "

Seeing this, An Peilin quickly shouted that he was wronged and even asked: "Master, this villain is doing all this for you! You must have heard about the situation in Jinzhou Prefecture. Gongzhou and Jinzhou Prefecture are closely adjacent to each other. , don’t you have any intention of taking over Jinzhou Prefecture?”

"Wait a minute!" Wang Lun waved his hand and frowned slightly, "Go on."

An Peilin immediately turned back, knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "Master, this Jinzhou Prefecture is getting stronger and stronger, and it will definitely attack us next! I admit that part of my spreading the information about Jinzhou Prefecture was intentional. The purpose of this is to let the believers in Gongzhou know how good the people of Jinzhou Prefecture are, to make them jealous and to make them fight hard! At that time, the leader only needs to raise his arms, and the believers will definitely fight to occupy Jinzhou Prefecture. Let’s work together to capture Jinzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop!”

These words truly shocked everyone in the room.

Even Wang Lun raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes even more confused, "Who on earth are you!"

"The villain is naturally from Shanggang Village! It's just that the villain wants to do something great. Now that he is under your command, he is naturally greedy for the military glory. The villain is conceited and has some talents, especially reading and literacy. It’s no big deal, it’s a shame that Jinzhou Mansion doesn’t give the villain a chance to display his ambitions! Now if the leader is willing, it’s no big deal that you and I can join forces to capture Jinzhou Mansion!”

Wang Lun didn't believe it, "If you want to make contributions, why don't you go to Jinzhou Mansion?"

"One is to find my parents, and the other is..." An Peilin hesitated, "The second is that when I was young, I was arrogant and proud, and I offended someone I shouldn't have offended. Now that person has become an official in Jinzhou Prefecture, and there is no chance for me to make a name for myself. I came to join the leader, so I can find my parents and make achievements at the same time. Why not?"

Wang Lun seemed a little unsure. He looked at the people under his command. The old woman seemed to be quite majestic. She was the first to speak: "Since he is willing to surrender, why don't we give him this opportunity? Send someone first." Send troops to explore the situation in Jinzhou Mansion, and let this guy be the vanguard. If you can kill a few people, we will believe you!"

Another person also said: "Yes, since you keep saying that you are coming to join us, we can't accept you immediately. From what you just said, it seems that you have two abilities. You also said that you can read and write, so we will I’ll give you a way out. But we still need to submit a petition. Next time we send people to pretend to attack Sanping County and get to know the bottom of Jinzhou Mansion. If you can cut off the head of the county magistrate, you will officially become our brother!”

An Peilin was shocked and put away his contempt. These White Lotus Sect were actually smarter than imagined!

He immediately showed a look of joy on his face, "Thank you to the leaders for giving me the opportunity! Don't worry, I will be at the forefront next time we attack Sanping County!"

As soon as I said this, I heard a "bang" from inside the room. It turned out that the person who looked not so good before actually passed out and fell directly from the chair to the ground!
This time everyone was quite frightened! Even Wang Lun rushed forward, and everyone was busy helping the man up, but they didn't care about An Peilin anymore!
I could see that the man had a look of pain on his face, trembling with chills, and his eyes seemed a little distracted.

An Peilin looked at it, feeling suddenly uneasy for some reason.

"Brother Liu! How are you?"

"Isn't it because of the cold wind? Why hasn't it healed yet?"

"Quick, go get the doctor!"

But the man had already vomited it out with a "wow" sound. The old woman grabbed his wrist anxiously, and then saw the red spots on his arms. She didn't know what she thought of, but the old woman's face changed greatly and she was so frightened. He threw away the man's arm and took two steps back in shock!

Her voice was horrified, as if she had seen a ghost, "It's smallpox! It's smallpox!"

"What?!!"

The old woman's voice was trembling: "That's right! The chills, fever, fatigue, vomiting, and the red rash are definitely smallpox! My son and daughter died of smallpox back then. I was definitely not wrong!"

Everyone in the room was dead silent!
Smallpox, the most ferocious plague!

It is said that once it is contracted, there is almost no way to survive! Every time a plague was discovered in the Zhou Dynasty, at least dozens or millions of people died!
At the moment, no matter what achievements you make or what you do as a dragon, it is better to live a good life!

At this time, everyone subconsciously backed away from the person who fell on the ground.

An Peilin reacted almost immediately: "Quick, quick, cover your mouth and nose, spread out and ventilate! Call the doctor quickly, it may not be smallpox! I see that many soldiers have colds recently, send someone to do statistics Let’s look at the number of people! If it’s really smallpox, people who died from the cold in the past few days can’t stay in the team, and they have to be burned immediately! Their clothes can’t be left, and the crowd should be dispersed quickly to prevent it from spreading!”

Wang Lun seemed to have come to his senses at this moment, and shouted outside with a livid face: "Where's the doctor, call the doctor quickly! Brother Zheng, go first and find a few trustworthy brothers to count the number of people who have been exposed to the cold recently!" After that, he Then he glared at the people in the room with a fierce expression, especially An Peilin: "Don't make this matter public. If the news leaks out, no one will survive!"

An Peilin instantly felt the crisis, and he could only distance himself immediately: "Master, there is no way to hide. In fact, people started to develop rashes a few days ago, and some people are already asking whether it is the cause of the plague. You The doctor was invited with great fanfare today, and the people were counted and burned. The believers must have noticed it, and if it was really smallpox, it could not be hidden. Instead of trying to hide it from the people below, it was better to hurry up. Evacuate the crowd and try to save those who are not infected with the plague!"

The old woman immediately echoed: "This guy is right! We can't hide it anymore. It's not like the people below us have never seen smallpox, let alone such a big thing, how can we hide it! Why don't we hide it first?" The solution is to evacuate those who are not infected first!”

As soon as An Peilin walked out, Sun Ping and others below immediately greeted him calmly.

An Peilin said solemnly: "Something happened. There's a plague here in Gongzhou!"

More than a dozen people all felt their hearts skip a beat.

"Are you sure?" someone asked.

"Definitely. I just took a look, and there was a sick person in the back room with a red rash on his arm. And I don't know if you noticed it, but people have been falling down one after another since ten days ago."

"But the doctor said it's just ordinary wind and cold."

"Smallpox is not easy to diagnose in the early stage. Ordinary wind and cold are not so infectious." An Peilin then remembered the most important thing, "Have you been vaccinated with cowpox before departure?"

A dozen people nodded.

An Peilin's tense shoulders relaxed, and he smiled bitterly: "The people of Jinzhou Prefecture have all speculated whether the cowpox vaccine is effective. Now we can verify it first."

Sun Ping said: "Then what should we do now? Should we continue to lurk here?"

"In order to save my life, I temporarily surrendered to the enemy. From what I saw in their conversation, they should have the idea of ​​attacking Jinzhou Prefecture. Now with the plague, I don't know what the situation is in Gongzhou-"

"Maybe they will give up attacking Jinzhou Mansion."

"It's very possible that if it's really a plague, they won't have time to take care of themselves, and they won't even think about charging into battle."

An Peilin felt pessimistic, "Not necessarily. People can do anything after being forced into a desperate situation. If they knew that Jinzhou Prefecture had cowpox vaccine, guess... they would go to Jinzhou with all their strength to vaccinate them. House?”

Everyone's expressions changed immediately.

My heart was instantly lifted up!
This war... is about to break out!
"Are there still Lu Fei and Lu Shiwen in Sanping County now?"

Sun Ping's voice was a little nervous, "Yes, it's them."

"Can our communication channel still work?"

"It should work."

"Okay, write a letter immediately to inform Lu Fei that there may be a plague at this moment, and ask him to prepare for war. At the same time, ask him to ask the city lord for help immediately!"

"Yes!"

However, what An Peilin didn't expect was that the news of the plague spread like wildfire almost immediately!

After the doctor entered the camp, he ran away as if he had seen a ghost. He even shouted for everyone to run for their lives as soon as he came out of the camp!

In the end, the matter of the plague cannot be contained by paper.

At this moment, the believers were like a pot exploding. They were able to escape and run away in an instant. Thousands of them escaped in one night! The believers would rather die in the deep mountains and forests, or freeze to death, than stay in a place with plague!

Too many people are running away! They fled with their families, southeast, northwest, through the forest, across the river, or hid in the mountains. Wang Lun could not stop them. He was afraid that their fleeing would spread smallpox to a wider area, so he could only send After killing many people, they still could not quell everyone's fear of the plague.

That's smallpox!

Once infected, there is almost no way to survive!

The Zhou Dynasty had not heard of plague for more than ten years.

But that time more than ten years ago almost shocked the entire court. It came from the north. Almost half of the people in the towns, counties, and prefectures along the way died. No one was spared. It is said that just that time alone, nearly a hundred people died. Thousands of people!

Who can mention the word "smallpox" without changing color?

This smallpox is nothing less than a scourge!
An Peilin was originally afraid that Wang Lun would cover up the smallpox, so naturally he would have to kill people to silence him, and he would become the most dangerous one. Unexpectedly, the doctor's shout as soon as he came out of the tent changed the situation in an instant.

The situation took a turn for the worse and immediately became out of control!
Even An Peilin and the others were confused!

Because of this, Wang Lun sent many people to guard several important official roads, which made it impossible for Sun Ping to get in touch with people in Sanping County, let alone pass on the information here!
However, the most terrifying thing still happened!
Wang Lun announced something almost the next day, and he told everyone categorically.

——Vaccine is available in Jinzhou Prefecture!
An Peilin was among the crowd, looking at the excited believers below, and when he saw their fanatical eyes, his back was covered in cold sweat!

Sure enough, Gongzhou has clearly been paying attention to the situation in Jinzhou Mansion!

They never said anything about the cowpox vaccine!
So how did Wang Lun know?

In other words, they have always been aware of the situation in Golden State, and they even know the latest cowpox vaccine!
It is even very possible that there are their spies in Jinzhou Mansion!
No wonder they have never dared to take action against Jinzhou Mansion. Presumably they are also afraid of the strength of the city lord! But now that the plague is coming, in order to keep these believers, Wang Lun and the others have only one option: diverting the disaster to the east!

An Peilin had to admire Wang Lun.

Just tell the believers that there is cowpox vaccine in Jinzhou Prefecture, and then these crazy believers will definitely risk their lives to occupy Jinzhou Prefecture!

In Gongzhou alone, there are more than 60,000 believers! As for Sanping County, there are only three thousand soldiers and horses of Lu Fei! If Wang Lun led his men to attack the city desperately, how could they withstand it? !
Sanping County...is in danger! !

Jinzhou Mansion is in danger! !
And the situation is getting worse! When An Peilin and others were helpless, like ants on a hot pot, Wang Lun once again announced that he would urgently order a team of 5,000 people to attack Sanping County!
And the vanguard troops turned out to be smallpox patients who already had symptoms!

Wang Lun sent people to do statistics overnight last night, and it was initially estimated that between five and six thousand people had symptoms of the infection.

Today, Wang Lun announced that they would form a vanguard to attack Sanping County first!
The weirdest thing is that those people looked happy and even a little impatient!

An Peilin and others couldn't help but be shocked!

He couldn't help but walk through the crowd, regardless of the risk of infection, and went straight to find an acquaintance in the vanguard named Gu Xiaonan, "Xiaonan, are you crazy! Do you know where Sanping County is? It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. , the city wall is indestructible, the leader wants you to die! What's more... you are a patient, you need a doctor! Are you crazy?"

Gu Xiaonan smiled weakly, but subconsciously took two steps back. He was wearing a white face towel. In order to isolate the infection, Wang Lun could only wear it to the sick people to minimize the infection.

"Brother Goudan, you are a good person. Thank you for caring about me. But I still have two younger brothers and sisters. The leader promised us that as long as we dare to go to Jinzhou Prefecture, the first batch of cowpox vaccine will be vaccinated on our relatives. ! Now that the plague is coming, the price of this medicine is sky-high. How can we poor people afford it? Anyway, I am going to die, but I can’t die in vain. My brothers and sisters are still young. My parents are gone! We have to find a way for them to survive, right?”

Another person smiled and said: "That's right! The leader also said that those of us who are sick will go first, and every one who can infect Jinzhou Prefecture counts as one! This is equivalent to going into battle to kill the enemy, and every one infected counts as one head. Those are all ready-made military achievements!”
