Xingcheng.
Lu Yun and his troops did not waste much time here. They took the city directly and then settled in it, intending to rest before continuing their march. However, during these two days, a huge plague suddenly broke out throughout Xingcheng.
Faced with this situation, Lu Yun and his men were completely dumbfounded. There was no plague in their military camp, so how could the plague suddenly break out in this city?
What's even more terrible is that when their spies learned that the plague had broken out in several cities and a large area behind them, these were the routes they had to pass through, which meant that the plague would be present wherever they went.
This is indeed incredible!
At this time, in the central army tent, Lu Yun looked coldly at the generals under his command and asked, "What's the situation? Did the soldiers in our camp infect them with the plague?
After all, we fight wars all the time, and if we don't have time to deal with the bodies, this kind of thing will happen."
"Report to the General, this shouldn't be a problem in our barracks. After all, we always burn the bodies as soon as possible after each battle, and we also use lime to block them."
"What should we do then?"
Lu Yun was a little hesitant at this moment, wondering whether he should leave.
In addition, many of his generals were also infected with the plague.
If this continues, their army may collapse!
Faced with this situation, the people present lacked experience and didn't know what to do.
Shangguan Yan was a rough man, and he explained directly: "Brother-in-law, in my opinion, this matter is also very easy to solve."
"We should take this opportunity to go another way and fill this area with plague. We will be in great danger then."
"The army's combat effectiveness has weakened. Moreover, if the enemy launches a surprise attack at this time, our army will collapse instantly and will definitely not be able to hold on. It is better to leave in advance."
"That's right! Things have come to this point. We might as well take this opportunity to run away."
“…”
Lu Yun had a different opinion at this time. "No, no, no. The army's combat capability has weakened, and our generals have also been infected with the plague. Problems will arise wherever we go."
"And it seems that this epidemic spread very quickly. We had no time to react, so under such circumstances, many people in our business would be infected."
Lu Yun sighed and explained, "Perhaps someone in this tent in our military camp has already been infected with the plague, but it hasn't manifested itself yet."
"At the moment, many cities in the back have been implicated. We all know that this is a natural disaster and there is no way to avoid it."
"Why not take this opportunity to stay and solve this plague properly? This will not only earn you a good reputation, but also gain recognition from the people."
"At the same time, it will not prevent problems for our army. After all, after the plague appeared, the Han army would definitely not be willing to come, and they would not choose to help the people."
"Not only can we gain a good reputation, but it can also provide us with some time and not put us in such a passive position."
After listening to Lu Yun's words, everyone present hesitated. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the truth, and then they agreed. So their army rested on the spot, just as Lu Yun expected.
Their army was soon all there. Fortunately, they had prepared doctors in advance to deal with the plague, so the disease would not kill many people for the time being.
But it was definitely necessary to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Fortunately, Zhao Yueyao and her fellow Seventy-two Dong were quite knowledgeable about medicinal herbs. After a month of careful diagnosis, they found a medicine!
The decoctions made from these herbs were very effective, but only one month later, many people had died in many cities in the Xingcheng area.
From the beginning to the end, there was no response from the imperial court. It was as if the people of the Han Empire were dead! No one chose to come out, and no one knew what they were doing!
This was very strange, and Lu Yun was a little confused! What on earth were these people doing?
Logically speaking, with such a big thing happening, there is no need to ignore it even if this area has been occupied by the enemy forces.
Many officials and people in Xingcheng also learned about this matter. Such a serious plague had occurred in their area.
As a result, there was no response from the imperial court. Instead, the traitors in their eyes were there and kept rescuing them.
Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable hearing about this kind of thing!
Therefore, in the hearts of these people, they have silently believed that the Great Qin where Lu Yun and his people are is the one that is truly good to them. They have also won a good reputation and gained the hearts of the people.
Many people couldn’t understand why Lu Yun wanted to stay here before, but now they finally understand that this is Lu Yun’s real purpose.
At the court, after learning about this matter, the emperor still ignored it.
Many ministers in the court had been urging him, but the emperor would only refuse with one sentence, that is, that piece of land had been occupied by the enemy, and the people there belonged only to the enemy, not to their court, so there was no need to care!
In fact, the real reason is that the plague was deliberately created by the emperor, so he doesn't care so much. This is indeed a very good way. Lin Wen is a very smart guy.
If this matter is not exposed, no one will know that this is a plague that was deliberately created.
"Your Majesty, the plague is rampant in that area. We can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate our Flying Tiger Army, but we should also be concerned..."
"What if the refugees over there run away to other places and bring the plague? That would be very difficult!"
The emperor gave him a cold look and asked, "What is there to be afraid of?"
"Hasn't the antidote to the plague already been discovered? That Lu's subordinate is truly talented, to have come up with the antidote so quickly."
"With these medicines, we don't have to be afraid."
"good……"
…
In this way, half a year passed.
During the past six months, Lu Yun has been staying in Xingcheng, and the troops under his command have been training here.
Many people also know Lu Yun, and he is really good to them. As the plague issue was resolved, Lu Yun also knew that it was time to take action.
It took half a year to resolve this matter. The court has not taken any action. An explanation must be given for this matter!
