But Wei Yong shook his head, not because he was not afraid of death, but because if the plague was not handled well this time, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command would be reduced by at least a quarter, which was already quite terrifying.

"Have you found out what the cause is?"

Zong Ze sighed, "The medical officer has already gone to check and is waiting for a return." ”

Plague, that is, infectious diseases, has been inevitable since ancient times, especially during the war, and has become the biggest killer of the sharp decline in population.

It didn't take long for the medical officer to come to report, and the medical officer accompanying him this time was none other than Zhang Zhongjing.

"King Zhou, my subordinates have found out! The reason why the soldiers contracted the plague was that they drank the well water in Puyang City; And in the well water, the subordinates have sent people to investigate, and there are many unclean things in it, and there are even the corpses of enemies in it. After a few days of soaking the corpses, it was summer again. After the soldiers put out the fire last night, they were too thirsty to find a clean water source, so they drank the dirty water from the well, which led to this large-scale plague. This plague is an unprecedented disaster, while there is no large-scale infection, King Zhou should leave quickly! ”

"Liu Bei!" Wu Liren finally understood, and finally understood why Liu Bei would be willing to risk staying in Puyang for so long, it turned out that he could create this plague, "Liu Bei! Why are you so vicious? There are still innocent people in this Puyang City! ”

Jia Xu, Wang Shouren, Xun You and others also really understood Liu Bei's intentions, and they all understood Liu Bei's malicious intentions, but at this time, it was useless to scold Liu Bei.

"Please also ask King Zhou to leave quickly!"

All the civil and military forces pleaded together.

"Mr. Zhongjing, what kind of plague is this time?"

Most people have only one general concept of plague - infection and death, but Wu Liren knows that there are many kinds of plague, including typhoid fever, which Zhang Zhongjing is very familiar with, as well as plague, smallpox, leprosy, flu, etc., different plagues have different responses, Wu Liren wants to have a general understanding.

"The infected soldiers are now having diarrhea, and their feces are in the shape of rice swill, which can basically be concluded to be cholera."

Cholera, cholera, this disease, the mortality rate is quite high, the approximate cause is because of the infection of Vibrio cholerae, and the general infection method is through drinking water, so Zhang Zhongjing's judgment is no problem.

"Hurry up and let all the soldiers and horses withdraw from Puyang, and at the same time isolate the infected soldiers separately, and those who are suspected of being sick must also be dealt with separately. From now on, all of us must be heated to eat and drink, and we must not drink raw water or raw food. At the same time, medical officers were recruited from all counties and counties, including those from the Xiapi Medical College, and all but a few necessary ones were left for me. In addition, Mr. Zhang, you know more about this epidemic, so the anti-epidemic commander will hand it over to you, and you can use everything you need directly, including people, things, and money. ”

Wu Liren crackled After saying this, Zhang Zhongjing was a little dumbfounded, it seemed that Wu Liren's handling of the plague seemed to have a lot of experience, which made Zhang Zhongjing far from expecting it.

"King Zhou is wise, his subordinates will do it!"

Wu Liren thought for a moment, and then said: "General Zong, you take the soldiers who are not sick and go to the nearby counties to collect vinegar, you should be fast, first give some to each of the sick soldiers, and at the same time, those who are not sick should also add a small amount of vinegar when eating." ”

Zong Ze frowned, he didn't understand Wu Liren's words. I don't understand Zhang Zhongjing, if it is said that the plague is dealt with, Wu Liren is vigorous and resolute, and he is very relieved; But as for using vinegar, he didn't understand where Wu Liren's experience came from.

"King Zhou, what does this mean?"

Wu Liren had seen the introduction of cholera before crossing, and Wu Liren also had some understanding of Vibrio cholerae, which is not difficult to kill, and can be achieved in heating, sunlight, and acidic environments. If there is a small amount of germs, the gastric acid in the human gastric juice can be directly killed, but if there is too much, the gastric acid secretion in the human body is insufficient, which will let the virus enter the stomach and intestines, which will lead to the plague of diarrhea. Therefore, acetic acid has a certain inhibitory effect on Vibrio cholerae, Wu Liren's suggestion, Zhang Zhongjing may not understand, but he has no way to explain to him at this time.

"When he was young, he had cholera, and the doctor who saved his life at that time used vinegar to relieve his symptoms, so he still remembers it vividly."

Wu Liren's ability to tell lies is getting better and better, but this kind of statement is the most believable.

"No wonder King Zhou is so experienced, so he will do it!"

Zong Ze didn't dare to delay, and the others asked Wu Liren to leave Puyang quickly, after all, staying for a quarter of an hour would be dangerous for more minutes. Cholera is a plague, even if the miracle doctor comes, he can't guarantee whether he can be cured, if Wu Liren is infected, then he can only resign himself to fate.

After Wu Liren arranged all this, although he was not at ease, he also knew that his life was the most important thing, and at the same time, there were these civil and military forces around him - if they were injured in any way because of cholera, then Wu Liren would not know who to cry with.

When Wu Liren left Puyang, he set up camp a hundred miles away from Puyang, and at the same time was thinking about whether there was any other way to deal with the immediate crisis.

"System, is there anything you can do to deal with cholera? If the system can buy any modern medicine, it is also very much needed by the host now. ”

Wu Liren knew that the medical level of the late Han Dynasty could not avoid large-scale casualties in any case, and if you wanted to reduce the damage, it was best to have the help of modern medical drugs, but I don't know if the system will provide it. Even if we do, we don't know how much we can provide. I once bought an article from the system before, but I don't know if the medicine can be bought. The best way to treat this infectious disease is to use antibiotics, and it is really difficult to say whether the system can provide it.

"Back to the host, at the current level, there are no medically relevant drugs to treat it."

Sure enough, it seems that he can only rely on a few major doctors under his command - Zhang Zhongjing, Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao and Hua Tuo.

Because of cholera this time, Wu Liren can be said to have exhausted his national strength - but he still doesn't know what the result will be. But for Liu Bei's evil deeds, Wu Liren will not tolerate it.

Wu Liren immediately sent a letter to the editorial department of Xiapi's "Da Zhou Times", asking them to write an article and publish it on the front page, letting the world know for the first time that Liu Bei adopted this vicious method, which not only harmed the soldiers, but also plunged tens of thousands of people in Puyang City into a catastrophe.

At the same time, he also asked Kong Rong and other literati to write some poems and songs, exaggerating the tragic situation caused by this plague, so that everyone in the world knew what a tragic impact Liu Bei's practice had bringed. In this issue of the Great Weekly Times, the printing volume increased tenfold, and 30,000 copies were distributed free of charge to other places, and even Jizhou, which was controlled by Liu Bei, received a lot.

For a while, the people and scholars of the world began to attack Liu Bei, and Wu Liren instantly pushed Liu Bei to the forefront. And Liu Bei has no way to defend himself - whoever controls public opinion will control the hearts of the people.

At this time, Liu Bei's face was very ugly, he had already realized the impact of this small newspaper on himself - it can be said that the reputation of more than ten years of business is likely to be ruined because of this newspaper. In his office, he can also ask for the issuance of an Anmin notice, explaining that Wu Liren deliberately slandered him; But elsewhere, there was nothing he could do to stop it.

The so-called one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and in terms of the hearts of the people, Liu Bei completely lost.

"Princes, Wu Ming'er has sinister intentions, and he actually used this kind of natural and man-made disasters to slander this king, but this king has no way to deal with it at all, and now everyone in the world regards this king as a sinister and vicious villain, which makes this king have the face to face the people of the world!"

After speaking, Liu Bei couldn't help but hide his face and cry, this cry immediately made Li Yuanba at the bottom annoyed, and yelled at Liu Bei: "Father-in-law, what's there to cry about!" Isn't that Wu Ming? The child will go to Puyang, and the result is this guy with a hammer! I see what else he can say in the future! None of this is a problem! ”

Liu Bei is very satisfied with Li Yuanba's contributions, but the current situation is far beyond Liu Bei's imagination, if Li Yuanba can really kill Wu Liren, then of course there is nothing; But there are many masters around Wu Liren, and it is impossible for Li Yuanba to kill him.

"Yuanba, you step back first, and then listen to the opinions of others."

Yao Guangxiao's face was also very solemn, originally this strategy was made by him, and the results were obvious, but Wu Liren used public opinion to completely stink Liu Bei's reputation - this matter can be described as conclusive evidence, and everyone will choose to stand on Wu Liren's side.

"Drop! Detected that the host has 9 aggro points for Yao Guangxiao, and the current host has 47 aggro points and 114 intimacy points. ”

"King Wei, now that Wu Ming has the "Great Zhou Times", it is difficult for us to compete with it at all, but we must also make a gesture. It's better to let Chen Lin write an essay and spread it all over the world, so that people can know how many evil deeds he has in Wu Ming. Although this can't reduce the impact of today, it can also make people all over the world have a worse impression of Wu Ming. As for the current situation, it can only be done temporarily, as long as the king of Wei can win the world in the end, the hearts of the people can still be slowly annexed. ”

In fact, the civil and military forces under Liu Bei also probably guessed that this poisonous plan was basically made by Yao Guangxiao for Liu Bei - although they also more or less despised using such a strategy, but at that time, they had no way to deal with it. If Wu Liren didn't have a newspaper, then not many people in the world would know about this kind of thing, so Liu Bei wouldn't have to worry too much at all. But Wu Liren didn't know how to get this kind of mass-produced prints, and even distributed a lot of them for free in order to achieve the effect. You know, when this kind of newspaper was first created, it reached the point where it was hard to find a copy.

Although Liu Bei also wanted to send someone to steal this technology, but the newspaper involved many aspects such as papermaking and printing, and Wu Liren's secrecy work was very good, and the spies sent by Liu Bei could not get much useful information at all.

Chen Lin's essay was written—and his focus was on Wu Liren as a capricious and ungrateful villain. The argument is that he started from Yuan Shu, then attacked it, and then took Pi and took it for his own use; Appointed by Tao Qian, he took Xuzhou as his own. He was even rewarded by Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven before, and forced Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven of the Han family to death. In short, everything in this world comes down to Wu Liren's sinister intentions.

Wu Liren had to admire Chen Lin's imagination - fortunately, Liu Bei would not print newspapers, otherwise even if many people did not believe it, it would have had an impact on his long-standing reputation for benevolence.

The plague lasted for more than a month, and the follow-up work, including the handling of the bodies of the victims and the pacification of their families, took a long time - with the efforts of the medical school, the first batch of infected soldiers lost half and half were rescued; And those suspected of being infected ended up losing hundreds of people, including Guo Sheng, a good man from Liangshan, who was also unfortunately infected and eventually killed.

And the doctors of the medical school also lost dozens of people - these are all future famous doctors, but they all fell in Puyang, which really made Wu Liren's heart ache.

And Puyang, after this catastrophe, has completely become an empty city and a dead city, even if Wu Liren gets it, it is equivalent to nothing.

Wu Liren can be said to be apprehensive about Liu Bei's trick, but his retaliation is by no means limited to public opinion. After Yang Lin was destroyed all the way, Wu Liren led Xue Rengui and Li Jing to attack together, and reminded them to beware of Li Yuanba.

Li Jing now led his subordinates Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin and others to attack Hanoi directly, and the army quickly occupied Hanoi, and at the same time directly launched an attack on Shangdang County.

Today's Liu Xiu, after a period of rest, and Li Keyong's demise, finally let him have no worries, so he took the army of Taiyuan and came directly to Shangdang County to resist Li Jing's attack.

Moreover, now Liu Xiu has randomly come out with a new magician skill - the bee control technique in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, this spell is simple and easy compared to the previous Flying Rock Spell and the Gate of Another Dimension. Being able to summon a swarm of bees to attack is also a reasonable phenomenon. Wu Liren knew that Liu Xiu would definitely use this skill to deal with Li Jing, so he had specially reminded Li Jing to pay attention to precautions, and this time he said that it was calculated by Yuan Tiangang.

Although Li Jing didn't know how Yuan Tiangang could calculate this kind of thing, since Wu Liren had reminded him, Li Jing still asked people to prepare preventive measures - that is, to prepare face towels for all soldiers and soldiers who went to the battlefield. As long as everyone wears a scarf during the war, this is extremely effective in preventing bee stings.
