Xue Zhining was truly shocked. She didn't have time to reply and hurried to the nearby military camp.
More than half of the guards originally arranged at the door were reduced, leaving only five or six people, and they all looked dejected.
When they saw Xue Zhining, their eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again.
What are you thinking? Lieutenant General Xue is a general of the Chu family army. How could he possibly come to care about them?
However, before they could say anything, Xue Zhining interrupted their thoughts.
"What's going on? Why are you the only ones at the door? Where are the others? How is everyone doing now?"
Hearing Xue Zhining's caring words, the eyes of the group of seven-foot-tall men also turned red.
"Deputy General Xue, are you here to save us?"
"Deputy General Xue, we, we are not hallucinating, are we?"
"Stop wasting time. Lieutenant General Xue, let me tell you something. More and more people are falling ill here, and the generals aren't doing anything, so only the captain can take his men to take care of them.
Now, some people have been transferred to help with logistics, and after the rotation, there are not many people left in front of us.
The doctor that the general brought back earlier examined everyone and gave them medicine, but not only did it have no effect, the condition even got worse.
Dozens of us have already died, Lieutenant General Xue, are we all doomed? "
The leader said this, and the others nodded. Xue Zhining felt uncomfortable seeing their miserable appearance.
"Qin Zheng doesn't care about you? The other deputy generals don't care either?"
After all, they were in the military camp, and they couldn't say anything bad about their own general. They could only lower their heads and remain silent. This was already a very clear answer to the question.
Xue Zhining was so angry that she laughed. Although she wanted to do something, she knew that she couldn't save everyone by herself.
She glanced towards the camp and said, "Okay, I understand. Don't be afraid. We'll all work together to find a solution. I'll go back and discuss with everyone how we can help."
Now, please pay attention. Don’t use the water from the well you used before. Don’t be afraid of the hard work and go to a river that is farther away to fetch water.
Also, be careful with your meals and try not to eat anything right now. With so many people getting sick, it can't be a coincidence, so be cautious.
I'll be back soon, cheer up!"
Everyone was a little shocked, but before they could say anything, Xue Zhining had already left.
Several people looked at each other, feeling somewhat uneasy, but now they could only place their hopes on Xue Zhining.
Chu Yu naturally knew that Xue Zhining went to the next door, so when she came back, Chu Yu was already waiting at the door.
"How's it going?"
Xue Zhining shook her head, "Very bad! Extremely bad! There are only five or six guards left at the door, and the rest are all helping.
Moreover, Qin Zheng and his ilk, who used to act with arrogance, are now completely disregarding the situation. Dozens of people have already died, and the situation is not optimistic."
Chu Yu's face was gloomy. He was really a little angry, but besides being angry, the most important thing now was how to save people.
He could only barely stabilize the situation of the Chu family army. If he distributed the spiritual pool water to everyone, it would probably not be enough.
Especially, we still don’t know whether we should get treatment or not. If we keep dragging on with the disease, it will be useless even if it doesn’t get worse.
If the news gets out, the barbarians in the north might take advantage of the situation and attack. Then...
Chu Yu thought for a moment and then quickly returned to the tent. He hesitated for a moment and took out all the remaining spirit pool water.
He took out one of the full ones and handed it to Xue Zhining.
"This contains some potions that Xiao Lingling brought when I came here before. They can temporarily stabilize the condition.
You can arrange a team to fetch water and add it in, adding a little bit so that everyone can drink it.
At the very least, we need to buy everyone three days! Also, arrange for someone to find a way to seek help from the nearest Divine Doctor's Hall."
Xue Zhining had a high degree of trust in Xiao Lingling, so she immediately took it and held it in her arms.
"Okay! I understand. I'll arrange it right away! And by the way, I'll bring back some more food, so we can also bring it to the camp over there. What we collected before isn't enough."
"Okay, take as much as you can. Don't worry about not having enough money!"
Xue Zhining was very proactive, and Chu Yu quickly wrote a new letter to Xiao Lingdang to report the current situation.
Fortunately, he used the carrier pigeon that Xiao Lingling gave him, otherwise he would never have been able to find Xiao Lingling in person.
With the help of the spiritual pool water, the situation stabilized over the next two days. Although there were still soldiers who died, the number was much less.
Forty-eight people died in one day before, and now there are eleven in two days, which shows that it is effective.
Moreover, now all the people in the camp eat and drink with the Chu family army, so the number of new people falling ill has been controlled to a certain extent.
But there are still new cases every day.
Chu Yu felt extremely helpless as he looked at the doctor who had never been able to develop an antidote.
Fortunately, he received a letter from Xiao Lingling and knew that she and Doctor Jiang would be arriving soon, which made him feel a little more at ease.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the soldiers guarding the gate rushed in.
"Report~~~~ General, bad news! The barbarians have assembled their army and are charging towards us at an extremely fast speed, less than ten miles away."
Chu Yu stood up suddenly, somewhat unable to believe it.
Although he stopped the news in time, it seems that it still leaked out.
Recently, all his men were assigned to mobilize food and fodder. Without the scouts' surveillance, he had to wait until the enemy was about to lay siege to the city before he received the news.
"Report~~ The enemy is very fast, especially the cavalry. They are now only eight miles away from us."
Chu Yu immediately calmed down and said, "Send the order. All the Chu family soldiers who are not sick and still have the ability to fight will gather immediately. Everyone, prepare to fight!"
Upon hearing his order, everyone immediately stood up and came out unless they were lying in bed and unable to move.
Chu Yu frowned, "Those who are sick, stay here! How are you going to fight in this state? Get out of the line immediately!"
"General! We can go! We're much better now, it won't affect us, just let us go!"
"That's right, General. We'd still feel uneasy even if we stayed. We might as well go with you!"
"How can we be left out of this battle? We, the Chu Army, have never been cowards. Even if we die, we will not tarnish the reputation of our Chu Army!"
"Yes! That's right! Let's go together and kill them all!"
Everyone was very excited, holding up their machetes and shouting loudly, and they didn't look sick at all.
