Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Send an order, let the military division and Guo Si, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun come!" Jia Rong said in a deep voice.

In fact, Jia Rong has already admitted that this is a plague. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army are all in good health. There has never been a soldier who died like this. The medical staff did not find that it was poisoned. Phenomena, various signs indicate that the possibility of literature and art is extremely great.

"My lord, what happened?" Guo Jia couldn't help asking when he saw that the soldiers along the way were heavily guarded.

"From three days ago to the present, four people have died in succession in the army. One of them is the company commander. The death condition is almost the same. If it is not bad, it should be the plague. Now the medical personnel are investigating in each battalion. Soldiers, immediately gather them together, completely separate them from the main army, and then treat them. After you go back, you must carefully comfort the soldiers under your command and don't panic, especially the soldiers who are isolated." Jia Rong sighed.

Guo Jia's expression froze slightly. There was a plague in the army, which meant that it was impossible for the Xiliang army to go to war in a short period of time. However, he wanted to implement Qin's strategy against the six countries, and the difficulty increased dramatically. , said unwillingly: "My lord, could it be that the medical staff are talking nonsense?"

"Feng Xiao, the enemy is in front of us. It is important to kill the enemy, but if the soldiers are really infected with the plague, it will be like a nightmare. Just imagine how heartbroken thousands of soldiers died overnight. After paying back with blankets, the army of princes outside the pass appeared killed the soldiers." Jia Rong said.

"I have asked Hua Yu from Chang'an to come day and night with sufficient medicinal materials to suppress the plague in the army." Jia Rong said.

The Xiliang army has always been orderly, and there will be no soldiers walking around without orders. In the army, there will be no scenes of soldiers running around and dirty ground like the coalition army of princes.

"Brother, you lead the soldiers to patrol the city, in case the coalition forces of the princes take advantage of this to attack the city."

After the four of them left, Jia Rong said, "Zhang Xiu, let the lone wolf soldiers outside the city come back." The most important thing now is to resist this plague, otherwise years of hard work may be due to this incident. And in vain.

Just a moment after Zhang Xiu got out of the tent, he turned around again and said solemnly: "My lord, there used to be more than 5000 soldiers in the wounded barracks in the allied army of the princes, but now there are only 3000 people, and 2000 people died, and many of the princes' armies were infected. It may also be an opportunity for our army, as long as the army takes the opportunity to leave the customs, it is very likely to completely defeat the army of the princes."

When Jia Rong heard the latest news led by Zhang Xiu, he was even more sure that this was a plague caused by the princes. The oil and feces of the defenders made the coalition army terrified, and tens of thousands of people were injured. Yuan Shao even concentrated these people in Together, let them howl, quite thinking of letting them fend for themselves, this is summer, the hot summer makes wounds of wounded soldiers fester quickly, breeding diseases.

"Let the lone wolf soldiers withdraw as soon as possible. After entering the customs, they have to be checked by the medical staff one by one. Attacking the princes is not as important as the lives of the soldiers." Jia Rong hurriedly ordered.

Zhang Xiu sighed, turned around and left, feeling both regret and warmth in his heart.

After the news of the plague spread among the armies of the feudal lords, the Xiliang army paid more attention to the sanitation of the camp. In the tents, the items were arranged neatly, and all smelly shoes were thrown away. Except for weapons, clothes and daily necessities, everything else was discarded. The dark corners were all cleaned up, and the soldiers carried out the execution to the letter. When it came to killing the enemy on the battlefield, they were relentless, but when it came to the plague, they felt cold inside and out.

Jia Rong's series of measures kept the morale of the army from fluctuating. Once any abnormalities were found, the soldiers were sent to the wounded barracks, and the soldiers reported to each other.

For their own safety, no soldier would act recklessly, and no one would want to live a little longer.

However, within three days, nearly 500 people gathered in the battalion of wounded soldiers. Without exception, these soldiers were all people with signs of plague in their bodies. The thick white cloth, with some potions sprinkled on it, was of course made by Jia Rong.

The soldiers of the Wounded Barracks were no longer fierce and unparalleled on the battlefield. They were like eggplants beaten by frost, sitting quietly on their one-acre three-point land, waiting for Jia Rong's order. They believed in their hearts that the coach Jia Rong will not abandon them.

Dozens of medical personnel went to and from the wounded battalion to try to find anything.

The plague made Jia Rong very busy, and there was an example of 1000 people dying overnight in the armies of the princes outside the pass, which made Jia Rong startled. The pervasive smell is basically the smell of medicinal materials, which is also the reason why Chang'an has rich savings. The smell of medicinal materials makes soldiers feel at ease.

Bowls of medicinal juice became the spiritual sustenance of the soldiers infected with the plague. They all thought that after drinking a bowl of medicinal juice, they could relieve their illness and pick up weapons to kill the enemy. They would rather die on the battlefield when they died like this. Killed by the enemy.

Hua Yu shouldered a heavy responsibility in the face of danger, and led a group of disciples to treat soldiers in the wounded barracks.

Another soldier was brought to the wounded barracks. The number of Xiliang army wounded barracks reached 800 people. Most of the people who were brought here were ashen-faced, and they were so close to the god of death. The feeling in their hearts can be imagined, and it is even more impressive. The scary thing is that this enemy will not restrain himself because of your high martial arts skills. Some soldiers and generals couldn't believe all this, shouting loudly, and those who saw it were sad.

Hangu Pass was plagued by the plague, and the troops far away in Chang'an were also busy. Some teams even directly served as cleaners, cleaning every street in Chang'an. You can only enter the city after the investigation. At this time, there are 10,000+ people in Chang'an City. Once the plague spreads, it will be hundreds of times more troublesome than Hangu Pass.

Jia Rong found Hua Yu and asked, "Do you know Lime?"

"Lime?" Hua Yu shook his head to show he didn't know.

The intelligence network of the Xiliang Army was strong, and Jia Rong found the real thing after a little description. Of course, the production of lime was troublesome. With lime, Jia Rong's confidence in resisting the plague increased by a point.

In fact, Hua Yu had just arrived at the barracks. Seeing that Jia Rong had strictly separated the plague-infected soldiers from the army, he expressed his approval. Hua Yu was not picky about the sanitation in the camp. , but knew that Jia Rong would not target indiscriminately.

Compared with the wounded camp of the Xiliang Army, the army of the feudal lords is overcrowded. The camp, which was empty because of the death of a group of soldiers who were scalded by oily feces, was filled again. In Jia Rong's view, the plague is extremely dangerous. It may have been contagious from the coalition army camp, and the coalition army was the first to bear the brunt. Lime powder was sprinkled on the city walls to prevent the plague from the coalition army camp from spreading.

There are about [-] wounded soldiers in the battalion, and soldiers die every day. It is understandable for the soldiers who were scalded to die, but the living soldiers also died strangely after staying in the camp for a few days, which made them feel cold war all over their bodies. .

"We can't stay in this place!" A thought flashed through the hearts of all the soldiers. They were originally healthy soldiers, but they turned into corpses within a few days after arriving here. War elite soldiers, even heavenly soldiers and generals, will also run away.

On the outskirts of the camp were soldiers of the Allied Forces holding their weapons, and it was not easy to escape. At critical moments, Yuan Shao would not be as indecisive as Liu Bei, and would send the soldiers directly to the Wounded Barracks without hesitation.

"Order Chang'an to escort a large amount of vinegar over here." Jia Rong ordered.

Hua Yu couldn't figure it out, "My lord, what is jealousy?"

Jia Rong tried his best to describe it before Hua Yu understood. It has to be said that everything Jia Rong did in the tent before was very effective. There were very few cases of plague infection among the soldiers. The entire camp looked far away. , Just like a heavy snowfall.

Under the action of lime and vinegar, the spread of the plague was greatly alleviated, and the soldiers infected with the plague were gathered together. Jia Rong did not let it go, but treated it with the care and treatment of medical staff, although it contained a great deal of hope. Risk, but he doesn't want to abandon any soldier of the Xiliang Army. In all the battles, Jia Rong is most unaccustomed to abandoning his comrades in times of crisis. It's completely nonsense to keep the overall situation safe. He can't even take care of soldiers when they are sick. How about asking them to fight you desperately and fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield? As for the princes outside the customs, if you can't be defeated, just keep them for the time being, and wait until the soldiers under your command recover their health, and then rush to kill them.

Compared with the mourners in the wounded barracks of the coalition army, the faces of the soldiers of the Xiliang army did not have the sadness they imagined. They chatted with each other, playing the boring time, and they also fully cooperated with the medical staff's treatment. Of course, they died occasionally The shock brought by a robe is still great. These people did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the silent plague.

"Leader, retreat. In one night, our army lost more than 1000 people. If things go on like this, how many soldiers will there be in the army? I am afraid that the Xiliang army will be able to charge back with a single charge. " Cao Cao said worriedly.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei nodded again and again. The two of them and Jia Rong didn't feel any pain. No matter how strong the Xiliang army is, they won't be able to attack them for a while. In fact, Liu Bei came this time to show himself to the people of the world and the people under his own rule. In addition, he also wants soldiers to see what a cruel battlefield is. The soldiers in his hands are basically recruits, lack of combat awareness, and cannot be called elite soldiers. They are not as good as Cao Cao's elite soldiers, and even Liu Biao. , There are strong generals in the sky, if there are no elite soldiers, how can the battle be won? After the battle, these soldiers have grown rapidly, and even in the face of the enemy's attack, there is no initial panic.

Now that the plague is breaking out, Liu Bei naturally doesn't want the soldiers who have been trained with great difficulty to die. Among the princes of the Central Plains, Liu Bei's family is probably the weakest. Apart from wearing the title of a Han clan clan on his head, he is useless. If you don't become a martial artist, you won't succeed.
