Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Cao Cao also echoed, "We have completely offended the Xiliang Army by attacking Hangu Pass this time, and there is no way for us to recover. There is no other way but to fight to the death."

Of course Li Ru agreed, he originally rebelled from the Xiliang army, and he really didn't want to see the coalition army withdraw in such an anticlimactic manner. If the Xiliang army was not completely defeated, Li Ru would really have trouble sleeping and eating.

Guo Jia saw that the army of princes outside the city still had no intention of retreating, and it was expected that the princes were still struggling to support.

"Don't cry without seeing the coffin!" Jia Rong exclaimed.

There is a large camp in the armies of the feudal lords that is specially used to place soldiers who have been scalded by oil and feces. Looking around, there are more than 5000 soldiers. The soldiers inside are either lying or lying down. They seem to have nothing but howling and eating. Choice, what the princes lack the most is not only food and herbs, but also medicinal materials. The soldiers at the bottom cannot get effective treatment at all, so they can only suffer. Every day, soldiers cannot withstand the ravages of injuries and die. This is also to ignore it and let it die. [

Setting up a separate battalion separates them from the main army without affecting the normal order of the main army.

The smell in the camp was unbearable, and the soldiers who delivered the food all covered their noses and passed by, and looked at these soldiers with a trace of disgust, without even considering that these people were also former robes.

The wounded soldiers also knew in their hearts that once the generals in the army were injured, they would all be healed, and they were the only ones crying in pain in the tent. At one time, Yuan Shao disliked that their screams affected the morale of the army and strictly ordered them not to cry. Make a sound.

In the scorching summer, many soldiers died, and the soldiers in the camp gradually became indifferent from the initial panic. From their point of view, life and death seemed very ordinary to them. For so many years, I did not bring anything to my family.

Soldiers die every day. Originally, there were 5000 people here. Unexpectedly, more than [-] people died in these three days. In the past, this is shocking news, but the army of the princes is currently trapped by food and grass. "Confusion", how can I be in the mood to take care of this place, I am afraid that Yuan Shao wished that the more these wounded soldiers died, the better, so that a lot of food could be saved. The assassination activities of the men in black are still going on, and food and grass have become the priority at this time After Yuan Shaojun lost his food and grass, the pressure on the princes doubled.

The soldier who delivered the food was sick, feeling weak all over his body and dizzy, but how could a low-level soldier attract the attention of the upper-level people, but within two days, the soldier who delivered the food died in the tent and was discovered by Pao Ze After that, he was buried randomly in a wasteland behind the army.

On that piece of wasteland, discarded corpses can be seen everywhere. Whenever soldiers or generals pass by, they cover their noses.

Another soldier who delivered food died, and his death condition was exactly the same as that of the soldier who delivered food before.

The number of soldiers in the wounded barracks is getting smaller and smaller, from more than 1000 people five years ago to more than [-] people today. In just five days, [-] people died. This speed of death is terrifying.

When this news reached Cao Cao's hands, it was finally taken seriously. Not only the soldiers in the wounded barracks died, but also the soldiers responsible for delivering meals, all of them died with the same death condition.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Cao Cao immediately found Yuan Shao.

After the lone wolf's sneak attack on the camp of the coalition army, although the amount of food and supplies was lost, fortunately, all the princes have food and supplies, which can barely support the army. After passing this pass, within half a month, the army of the princes will be able to launch a new round of offensive.

"At the beginning, in the wounded barracks, 1000 people died within five days." Cao Cao counted in panic.

"Death is death. Apart from eating, these people cry every day. Keeping them is a burden to the army. Death is relief." Yuan Shao said without hesitation.

At the beginning, the soldier who delivered the food also died, and the death was the same, but the doctor still couldn't explain it after seeing it.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Yuan Shao said in surprise.

Cao Cao's hand stroking his beard suddenly pulled one out. "At first, I suspected that this was a plague. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the entire army."

Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically, "Meng De, don't talk nonsense."

After a long silence, Yuan Shao asked: "Meng De, in your opinion, what should we do? If the plague really broke out in the army, the soldiers must be panic-stricken, and there is no need to fight this battle." The two grew up together. Da, because of the entanglement of interests, there are swords and soldiers facing each other, and the relationship is still good in private. [

"What the leader said is right. The plague has spread in our army. It is not easy to solve it. We should gather all the doctors in time to discuss countermeasures and let them treat it." Cao Cao said.

"This matter cannot be spread any further. Those soldiers who died will say that the Xiliang army poisoned them." Yuan Shao added.

The two looked at each other and nodded slowly. At this critical moment, all grievances and grievances have been left behind. For the ancient times with backward medical technology, the plague is a nightmare. It cannot be stopped, and it is more terrible than war. After a plague , It is fatal to the army and even the city.

All the doctors were mobilized to treat the infected soldiers, but the strength of the doctors was limited. Instead of curing the plague of the soldiers, they got sick themselves.

More and more people died, and the coalition soldiers finally found out that something was wrong, and various rumors spread among the army.

Inside Hangu Pass, a soldier died of illness. The staff of the medical center blushed and went to Jia Rong to plead guilty. It is not a trivial matter in the army that a soldier dies from a disease.

Jia Rong was furious when he heard the report from the medical staff. The soldiers were fighting to the death on the front line. They did not die on the battlefield. Instead, they were robbed of their precious lives by a disease and punished the medical staff. Keeping things in mind, it is normal for tens of thousands of people in the army to die one or two people because their illnesses were not treated in time. Even in the future world where medical equipment is very advanced, people still die due to mistakes.

Three days later, there was another death in the army. This time it was a company commander, but he still died.

Jia Rong was slightly moved. The two consecutive fatal cases were enough to attract attention. The medical staff's skills are not weak. Although they can't treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases, some ordinary minor diseases are still easy to handle, and they didn't expect to make mistakes again and again.

A company commander belongs to the backbone of the Xiliang Army, and he can also be called a small talent. He plays a very precious role in the battle. Jia Rong was frightened and took people there in person.

On the way, he met another medical staff member, who was one of the first batch of talents cultivated by the medical center, unlike those who just came to the army, Jia Rong recognized him.

"Hua San, what are you doing here?"

Hearing Jia Rong's voice, Hua San stopped his hurried steps and said, "General, two more soldiers died just now."

Different from the general report of the usual medical staff, Hua San went on to say: "The appearance of the two dead soldiers is exactly the same, and they may be suffering from diseases."

Jia Rong waved his hands and said, "Impossible. Every soldier in our army is like a dragon and a tiger. How can there be any reason for getting sick one after another."

Hua San's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "General, please return to the camp quickly, don't wander around, and wait for the humble officer to investigate."

"Then I will trouble you. If there is any result, report to me in time." Jia Rong hesitated for a moment and said.

The disease that can make the staff of the medical center helpless is not ordinary. The death conditions of the two soldiers were exactly the same. Jia Rong secretly guessed that it was poisoned by the "spies" of the coalition forces, trying to make the soldiers of Xiliang panic. .

Half an hour later, Hua San appeared at the door of Jia Rong's tent, stopped the soldiers from reporting, and stood outside the tent and shouted: "General, please forgive me for being humble."

Jia Rong in the tent was a little taken aback, Hua San, who followed the rules, how could he shout outside the tent.

"General, the condition of the deceased is the same. I suspect that this may be a plague. Therefore, when you are in the army, don't leave the camp. You will discuss it with the rest of the medical staff before making a conclusion." Hua San said, his tone full of worry, Although he is a doctor, he doesn't want to face the plague.

Jia Rong was shocked. If it was a plague, the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in the pass would be in danger. The plague is an unusual disease, and it spreads quickly. If there is no drug treatment, it may occur and die within a few days. Terrible, but the plague is an invisible enemy, and a little air circulation may cause it to spread. [

Jia Rong walked out of the tent, grabbed Hua San and asked, "Maybe you are sure?"

Hua San saw Jia Rong walk out of the camp regardless of dissuasion, he was a little dazed, and said dully: "The general can't go out of the tent."

"Although we can't be sure, it's not far away." Hua San added.

"Life and death depend on fate and wealth. How can a small plague worry the world-famous Xiliang army? Tell the medical staff in each battalion to carefully inspect the soldiers, and the medical staff should also pay attention to their own safety." Jia Rong ordered. .

Hua San gave a jolt and said, "No!"

"Order the medical center in Chang'an to transport a lot of "medicinal" materials and other materials to Hangu Pass. The main "medicinal" materials are to reduce fire and detoxify."

"promise!"

After that, Jia Rong personally came to the bodies of the three of them and inspected them. His face became more and more serious. The plague is not an ordinary disease. Once it entangles them, what awaits them may be death.

"The order is that the soldiers of each battalion are not allowed to move around without orders, but those who violate the order will be killed!" Jia Rong ordered.

Although the soldiers of the Xiliang Army didn't know what happened, seeing that there were no soldiers walking around in the camp except for the soldiers on patrol, they all retreated to the tents. In each tent, the medical staff all had serious faces. To see a doctor for soldiers, to observe their unusual status, of course, when inspecting soldiers, they are also facing life and death. If they are accidentally infected with the plague, even the doctor himself will be in great trouble .
