But the other side was armed and they couldn't defeat them, so they could only be taken up the mountain.
Sun Ji had mixed feelings. He felt bad for implicating these innocent villagers, but there was nothing he could do. If these villagers didn't leave, more people would die.
It's all those damn bandits. If they hadn't captured the nobles, their superiors wouldn't have let them come here to suppress the bandits. If they hadn't come here to suppress the bandits, Sima Cao wouldn't have come up with such a vicious plan.
Now he would only be satisfied if he saw with his own eyes that the bandits had also been infected with the plague.
Not long after, a group of people arrived at the mountain. Before they got close, they heard the sound of one, two, three, four, and then they saw the people from Yiyun Village running towards a higher mountain.
They were all in high spirits, with rosy faces, shouting slogans loudly, and there was no sign of being infected with the plague.
Sun Ji was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
How is this possible!
All of their officers and soldiers have been infected, so why are the people in Yiyun Village not hurt at all? He saw with his own eyes that night that all the corpses were thrown into the village.
Even if Yiyun Village burned the corpse in time, it still had to be moved out to be burned. As long as people came into contact with the corpse, or even if they didn't touch the corpse, they would be infected with the plague.
But the fact is right before our eyes: these bandits are full of energy and still have the strength to run up the mountain.
Sun Ji was devastated. His biggest wish now was to see the bandits infected with the plague and die. That way he would feel that his death would not be in vain.
But now, the bandits are alive and well, which he cannot accept.
It was ridiculous that Sima Cao's strategy harmed his own family but failed to eliminate the bandits.
"General, do you think they have a way to treat the plague?" an officer asked.
Sun Ji's heart moved and he felt that it was very likely, otherwise why was there not a single person infected with the plague.
"Jun Hou, I don't want to die."
"I don't want to die either. I have an 80-year-old mother at home..."
"Jun Hou, why don't we go and beg them."
“…”
The 20 officers and soldiers spoke up one after another, and the civilians they had chased up also begged. They had originally thought that they would surely die from the plague, but who knew that these bandits were fine.
Whether or not these bandits have a cure for the plague, there is always hope.
Sun Ji didn't want to die either. He started out as a small soldier and relied on his bravery in combat to finally be promoted to military marquis. However, he was struggling internally at the moment.
Those are bandits. As an officer, should I go and beg them?
