Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Plague Epidemic and the Great Calamity Descended (II)

Huangfeng Valley - located in the north of Wulin Daying, is a valley with a length of more than 20 miles in the east and west, less than one mile wide in the south and north, the cliffs on both sides, smooth as a mirror, the strange stones inside are like forests, rugged and difficult to walk, because of its terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has become one of the grain fields of Cao Juntun!

After the outbreak of the plague in Cao Ying, the Yellow Maple Valley was set up as a place of cultivation, and all the infected soldiers were placed in it, and in just a few days, nearly 100,000 soldiers were sent, including many senior generals, more than a quarter of Cao's army, and it was increasing!

The soldiers tried their best to boil a large amount of decoction every day, forcibly administered it to the infected soldiers, and threw a large amount of quicklime in all corners of the valley, but the former was not symptomatic, and the treatment effect was very limited, and the latter was only used for prevention, and was unable to kill the forming virus!

Therefore, there are dead people in the valley every day, and truckloads are pulled into the wilderness, incinerated into ashes by fire, and then buried several feet deep underground, incinerating hundreds of corpses a day at most, and the smell of scorching smells for dozens of miles, and the smell is disgusting!

Under the shadow of death, some people give up all hope and lie in tents - without eating, drinking, closing their eyes and waiting for death; Some are unwilling to sit still, walking back and forth in the valley, and their emotions are becoming more and more irritable!

"Brothers stay in the valley, in the end there is only a dead end, it is better to rush out, maybe there is a glimmer of life!"

"The officials have already fled, no matter whether we live or die, it is better to return to our hometowns and reunite with relatives, at least not to be lonely ghosts!"

"Rush out! --Rush out! ”

………………………

What people in this era are most afraid of is dying in a foreign land, the bones cannot be buried in their hometowns, they cannot accept the blood and food sacrifices of their relatives, and they cannot be reincarnated and will be lonely ghosts forever!

Under the tremendous mental pressure, the infected soldiers finally broke out, and everyone who could still walk rushed to the exit of the valley, wanting to rush out of a road, go home to reunite with their relatives, or at least bury their homeland, right?

"Brothers, don't be impulsive, the prime minister has given a death order, and the valley is allowed to enter and not leave, and it will be punished for running away without permission!"

"Return to the valley, quickly return to the valley, and those who cross the line will be killed!"

………………

In order to prevent the infected from fleeing and spreading the plague to other places, heavy troops were stationed at the exit of the valley, and a cordon was drawn with quicklime.

Seeing that the infected soldiers were in revolt, the defenders immediately blocked the valley, with the pikemen in front and the archers behind, and at the same time shouted loudly, trying to persuade the infected to return!

But the sick soldiers, like mad beasts, did not heed the advice at all, and all ran out with all their might, and soon approached the cordon, while the defenders shouted so loudly that they did not shoot a single arrow, but retreated step by step!

This is not surprising, both sides are Cao Jun soldiers, and many people still know each other, friends, fellow villagers, and even relatives...... Eat and drink together in the barracks, live and die together on the battlefield, and establish a deep friendship!

Now let the defenders shoot arrows at their friends, fellow villagers, and relatives, how can they do it, but if they don't stop it, once they let 100,000 infected people run out, it will inevitably poison thousands of miles and destroy lives!

"Xuanjia Iron Rider, invincible in the world! --Xuanjia Iron Horse, invincible in the world! ”

At the moment of great danger, behind the exit of the valley, an earth-shattering cry suddenly sounded, and then a team of fierce cavalry appeared, all of whom were in black helmets and black armor, with arrows and guns, which were the famous Xuanjia Iron Cavalry!

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry re-blocked the valley, and then the 'two dragons came out of the water' array, and a black smoke horse rushed out of it, and the person sitting on it - wearing a ghost-faced helmet and a clawed armor, as if a god and demon were in the mortal, who was it not Xiao Yi?

"Da Sima is here - is he here to kill people, or is he here to save people?"

"If Ghost-faced Xiao Lang wants to kill someone, we will definitely die, and if Ghost-faced Xiao Lang wants to save people, we can hope to live!"

…………………………

Seeing Xiao Yi's figure appear, there was a great chaos at the exit of the valley, some people breathed a sigh of relief, some people had hope, and the infected soldiers who fled outside also stopped, staring timidly at this killing god!

"Brothers, don't be alarmed, with this great Sima here, I will keep you safe and sound, and return to the valley as soon as possible, waiting for a good doctor and a good medicine!

If you run away, you will spread the epidemic on your body to more people, even your relatives and parents. ”

…………………………

Xiao Yi's loud voice continued to echo in the valley, trying to understand the reason and emotion, so that the infected soldiers could retreat, but after saying it several times in a row, the black crowd did not move!

The prestige of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang made the infected soldiers afraid, so they did not dare to run away; However, the shadow of death also made them very afraid, so they did not want to retreat into the valley, and the situation froze!

The military orders issued by Da Sima have never dared to be disobeyed, and the Xuanjia army has bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot all those who disobey the order, but Xiao Yi waved his hand to stop it, and then turned over and dismounted, walking towards the valley......

One-step, two-step, three-step...... Xiao Yi was not in a hurry, his steps were as steady as a mountain, and then under the gaze of countless people, he crossed the cordon with one foot, and the infected soldiers on the opposite side retreated in unison!

A white line painted with quicklime, for 100,000 sick soldiers, is a ghost gate, inside is hell, outside is the world, now Da Sima disregards his own safety, and the soldiers fall into hell, what kind of courage is this?

Therefore, the moment Xiao Yi crossed the line, the 100,000 soldiers were relieved, and they returned to the valley one after another, sitting on the ground obediently, and no one made trouble anymore, which responded to the sentence: 'There will be no greed for life, and the soldiers will die!' ’

At the same time, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was once again divided, and hundreds of children of the doctor walked out, one by one, dressed in white clothes and carrying medicine boxes on their shoulders, arranged in a neat formation, calmly crossed the cordon, the doctor should have great benevolence and bravery, in order to save the life and help the wounded, what does it matter if he goes to hell?

In the team of medical students, there is also an old man - wearing a wooden crown, wearing a green robe, and a compassionate look on his face, it is the divine doctor - Hua Tuo!

Hua Tuo has noble morals, does not want high-ranking officials, does not like money and women, only to study medicine, cure diseases and save people for fun, and is proficient in internal, external, pediatric, and gynecological departments, is the world's first miracle doctor, when Cao Jun went south, Xiao Yi specially invited him to treat the wounded and sick soldiers!

But Cao Jun triumphed all the way and didn't encounter much difficulty, Hua Tuo couldn't stay idle, and simply led more than a dozen students, and went into the mountains and mountains, collecting herbs and studying medicinal properties, while visiting mountain people, treating diseases and saving people!

For more than a year, Hua Tuo took the students to travel between the mountain streams, stayed under the cliff at night, accompanied by jackals, tigers and leopards, and friends with flowers and trees, collected countless precious medicinal materials, encountered countless dangers, and also treated countless people.

After the outbreak of the plague in Cao Ying, Xiao Yi immediately sent people and horses to look for Hua Tuo's traces, and finally found this old miracle doctor on the border line of Jiaozhou, and then quickly traveled day and night, escorting all the way to Cao Yingzhong!

"Come and see, everyone, the divine doctor Mr. Hua Tuo is here, to save our lives!"

"The old fairy is merciful, the old fairy saves the suffering, we kowtow to the old fairy!"

…………………………

Hua Tuo traveled the world, saved countless people, and there were people in the army who knew the old miracle doctor, and they suddenly shouted and shouted, but the crowd flocked to it, surrounded by three layers inside and out, and everyone knelt on the ground and called the old gods more than once!

If the appearance of Xiao Yi gave the soldiers the courage to die, the appearance of the divine doctor Hua Tuo gave them hope of survival, no one wants to die if they can live, and when they see hope, the military heart is more stable!

The medicine heals the body, the benevolent heals the heart, Hua Tuo also frequently waved his hand, and said good words to appease the infected soldiers, they must be treated well, and the parents and relatives at home are still waiting for them to go home and reunite!

Xiao Yi was not jealous of Hua Tuo's super popularity, but carried the medicine box for him and carefully guarded the side, for fear of being crushed by the rebels.

Next, in the open space of the valley, Hua Tuo commanded the students, set down hundreds of large iron pots, one person was responsible for taking care of one mouthful, and after boiling the water, he began to add various medicines:

Chuanxiong, Angelica dahurica, ephedra, white peony, parsnip, nepeta, perilla, Qianghuo, licorice...... There are dozens of flavors in total, all of which are good medicines for driving away evil spirits and strengthening righteousness, clearing heat and detoxifying!

The infected soldiers in the valley also consciously lined up, and drank two large bowls in turn after the decoction was boiled, and many people were afraid of wasting the decoction, and even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean!

Those soldiers who are seriously ill and cannot take medicine by themselves will be fed by medical students and special people to ensure that no one is left behind, and no one is left behind!

"Dare to ask Mr. Yuanhua, how effective is the new prescription and how many soldiers can be cured?"

"The plague is very serious, evil as a tiger and a wolf, if you don't take this medicine - the soldiers will live one out of ten, and if you take this medicine, you can live three or four out of ten!"

"But is there any way to strengthen the effect of the medicine and save the lives of the soldiers, this is an immeasurable merit!"

"This is the old man's prescription for reading ancient books and studying repeatedly, among which the king, the minister, the Zuo, and the envoy are all complete, but the medicine is a little bit worse, and he has tried a variety of things, but unfortunately all of them are not in the right way!

If there is a suitable medicine primer to bring out all the power of the medicine, these sick soldiers, the old man can save eight or nine times out of ten! “

……………………

When there was no one in private, Xiao Yi secretly dragged the old doctor and asked about the efficacy of this decoction, after all, for thousands of years, there has been no such medicine to restrain malaria!

The answer is both happy and worried, the good thing is that Hua Tuo is not a miracle doctor, and he can make the survival rate of patients increase by three or four times at once, which is already an amazing miracle in this era of backward science and technology!

The worry is that even if the chance of survival is greatly increased, it is only three or four tenths, and based on the calculation of 100,000 infected people, at least 60,000 or 70,000 people will die!

Moreover, there are many people in the Cao army camp, who are also sick, but they are temporarily in the incubation period, and they have not yet broken out, if these people are added, the dead are at least more than 150,000, and the Cao army can't afford this loss!

But what is the kind of medicine primer that hides in everything and can cure malaria, so difficult to find - is it the liver and phoenix pith of the dragon, the lips of the leopard fetus?

There's something going on today.,I can only update one chapter.
