Thank you for the valuable commuter pass of "Vigata Songhai 007", "Blue Tulip" and "Tempest Rider"! Thank you for your enthusiastic tip!

I always hear that whoever holds their own identity or something, in fact, when the identity reaches a certain level, if you don't hold yourself, it is disrespectful to your own rule.

It is often said that Corporal Lixian or something, it also depends on the timing and the occasion, there are "Corporal Lixian" and "Nothing to be courteous or a traitor or a thief", Lu Zhe has no conditions for Zhang Liang to be a corporal Lixian. Using the identity of the lord of the three counties to curry favor with a person who is running around and devoting himself to the restoration of the country, not only is it embarrassing for Lu Zhe to spread the word, but Zhang Liang, who has not yet shown his talent and has no reputation, is also embarrassed, and the more than two million leaders of the three counties should wonder if the people who lead him are sick.

Cyclic gradual is Lu Zhe's next way of getting along with Zhang Liang, as long as he doesn't talk about official business, he should be kind and approachable, and he can talk eloquently about the general trend of the world. As for what Zhang Liang said to resolve the misunderstanding with Chen Yu, Zhang Liang had a good discussion with Xiang, but Lu Zhe did not answer once.

After not answering the phone many times, Zhang Liang no longer talked about the topic of Chen Yu and Xiang's family, he saw that Lu Zhe intended to stay in Nanjun for a while, and he also wanted to stay in Nanjun to watch Lu Zhe and Qin Jun confront.

The Qin army had been standing still for more than eleven days, and the scouts of Nanjun couldn't get close and didn't know what was going on, and the 70,000 reinforcements from Hengshan County led by the lieutenant saw that they were about to enter Nanyang County, and Lu Zhe was really worried about this.

If the Qin army remained motionless and waited for the army led by the Gongwei to enter Nanyang County, then the army led by the Gongwei and Lu Zhe would form a front and rear attack on Sima Xin, but the Gongwei would be sandwiched between the Qin army led by Sima Xin and the army of Xu Yan's headquarters in Sanchuan County.

The situation in Changsha County is also constantly changing, and the Xiang clan is also forcing Lujiang County, and the situation in the entire south has become more complicated than ever. In the days when there was no radio. He had already ordered the lieutenant to enter Nanyang County, and it was basically impossible to change the order again, even if he didn't want to give up the advantage of the defensive side, he had to give up, and yesterday he had already ordered the troops to prepare for field battles, and he would station in Linyuan, Cangwu County, and the 15,000 soldiers who were supposed to guard against Changsha County were urgently transferred.

It will take at least four days to transfer troops from Linyuan to Yan County, and during these four days, Su Lie of Nanling will also escort some equipment such as bed crossbows and car crossbows to feel that Yan County and Lu Zhe will meet, even those heavy infantry who have not yet completed training will be pulled up, after all, the next victory or defeat will determine the future.

Sima Xin's department had more than 132,000 Qin soldiers, and Lu Zhe's side counted the 70,000 troops of the total number of troops to participate in the battle, which would be the first time that more than 300,000 people would be fought after the unification of the world.

Four days is not too much, not too little. The scale of the battle that was about to start was too large, and it was no longer a little clever to offset the disadvantage, so Lu Zhe also asked the rear to send a huge number of red cloth strips, and the soldiers would wear them under their necks like wearing red scarves during the battle to distinguish between friend and foe.

Lu Zhe, who had already decided to fight a field war and had always attached great importance to intelligence, simply let go of his concerns, he must find out why the Qin army stopped in place, and after two days of spying and sacrificing nearly two hundred scouts, he could also get some useful news.

"Twelve days have passed. The soldiers in the Qin camp who should have been seriously wounded and killed in the previous battles had already died, but in recent times, although they tried their best to conceal it, the scouts risked their lives to find out that there was a lot more loose soil in the camp that they had dug up, although they did not raise the graves. But it's definitely a new grave, yes. The one who spoke was Zhou Wen, who deliberately came to Yan County from the front, he had just healed from his old injuries, probably because he was in a hurry to hurry, and his face was a little pale: "Ye County has handled it properly, and nearly 1,000 soldiers and civilians have died of illness due to wind and cold. The Qin army came from afar, and it was raining a lot, and the sick soldiers under the lack of medicinal materials must have been even worse. Only in this way can we explain why the Qin army's waiting rations have arrived, and why they have not moved. ”

Lu Zhe felt justified when he heard it, he was suspicious and didn't think in this direction before, but now there is information detected by the scouts, plus the Qin army has enough food and straw or it is still stagnant, and the speculation that the epidemic in the Qin military camp is not unfounded. It's just that he still has to think about it again, if this qiē is a layout made by Sima Xin, in order to lead the defenders of Nanjun to the north to fight, then ......

"Yesterday, the scout even saw Qin pawns pulling out corpses and setting up firewood piles to burn," Zhou Wen said that this was interrupted by Lu Zhe raising his hand, so he didn't continue.

Lu Zhe had already realized the severity of the matter, and this kind of thing was not suitable for spreading on a large scale, otherwise the army would not dare to go to battle.

Xiao He, who participated in the military discussion as a staff member, was already shocked, the epidemic in the Qin army was certainly a good thing for the war, but if it spread to Nanjun, it would be a disaster.

What is the pandemic? In fact, it's the plague! The horror of the plague cannot be explained in three words, as long as the plague occurred in history and was spread everywhere, which time did it not kill millions of people?

"Lord!" Xiao He didn't care that there was a general reporting, so he came up: "The plague in the Qin army is a big deal, if Nanjun is affected, then ......"

It seems that the plague was not recorded at the end of Qin? But now that history has become like this, Lu Zhe can't be sure.

Xiao He was reminding Lu Zhe that it was not suitable to send troops to fight him under such circumstances, but in Lu Zhe's ears, he could not let the Qin army continue to move south.

"There are iron cables on the Yangtze River to stop the water army of Bashu, and the Hanshui side must immediately arrange and send people to patrol day and night, and it must not flow south!" Lu Zhe pointed to the map of Nanjun, and was afraid that Sima Xin would learn from Cao Cao and use a boat to carry the corpses of sick and dead soldiers down the river. He glanced at the generals present, and finally looked at Zhou Wen who came from Ye County: "Has the return of the scouts been verified?" ”

Zhou Wen swore that "I have been researched many times, and I will not go on a business trip." ”

Lu Zhe was silent, a little happy and a little scared in his heart, fortunately, after he became an army, he couldn't see the dirty soldiers, and he set the military discipline early to let the soldiers keep their bodies clean and tidy at all times, otherwise the epidemic that appeared in the Qin army should have happened to the first dispatch of troops to Qianzhong.

Can ask the soldiers with military discipline but can't ask the head of the Qiantou to do the same, Lu Zhe glanced at Xiao He who was full of anxiety, and thanked Xiao He for reminding him in time, otherwise if the plague really broke out in Nanjun, the casualties would definitely be heavy.

"Issuing an administrative order to the government of all counties, townships, and counties, it is necessary to keep the heads of Qianqian in all parts of the country clean and tidy, not to drink raw water, and not to eat raw food again!" Lu Zhe paused for a while when he said this, and continued to add about a cup of tea: "In addition, prepare more sulfur, lime, and white cloth strips to the rear to prepare quickly, and send at least 300,000 in two days." ”

The officers basically didn't figure out why their own master suddenly issued those orders when they were still in the military discussion just now, they looked at Xiao He who had just come up to speak, and some of them smiled at Xiao He to express their kindness, but they didn't know that Xiao He was also puzzled by Lu Zhe's actions.

"Zhou Wen!" Lu Zhe named him, and Zhou Wen naturally responded loudly to "be there". Lu Zhe looked at Zhou Wen sternly: "You rush back to Ye County immediately and order Mei Li to act according to the warrant." After speaking, he walked to the main bench and took up the pen to write, and after the general ordered the box to be loaded with sealing wax, he asked Mengsan to hand it over.

Zhou Wen took the box and saluted: "In this way, the job will leave immediately." ”

"Well, go ahead!" Lu Zhe now has no intention of killing Zhou Wen, after all, Zhou Wen has been doing things tremblingly since he had an errand. He watched Zhou Wen's figure disappear into the tent curtain, and turned to look around at the generals in the tent: "Military law has long stipulated that soldiers need to be kept clean and tidy every day, not to drink raw water, and not to dismiss their hands indiscriminately. The tone became unusually stern, "Now I reiterate this rule once again, as the commanders of the officers, you must not tolerate it as useless. ”

The generals really didn't know what was going on, and after looking at each other, they just gave their hands and said, "Hey! ”

"You wait to retreat first, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhang, please stay." Lu Zheshen frowned, and waved his hand after speaking.

The generals still felt inexplicable when they left the military tent, and dispersed while discussing.

It is unknown what Lu Zhe left Xiao He and Zhang Liang to do, but Sima Xin, who was far away on the edge of the Han River, was extremely helpless when he looked at the soldiers who were sick.

The military report of the scouts on the Nanjun side was not out of speculation, but a large number of Qin soldiers had really died of illness under the wind and cold in the past few days. Sima Xin did not send out of the barracks for burial out of consideration for not being discovered by the enemy, but chose a hidden place in the camp to bury him.

It stands to reason that the soldiers who exercise regularly will not get sick because of a heavy rain, but those soldiers have been on the road for nearly twenty days after setting out from Sanchuan County, and it is when the fatigue and body are exhausted, and the resistance naturally drops to a kind of chengdù, and at that time, there is a lack of firewood for heating, so it is not surprising to get sick.

The first to show symptoms of wind and cold was the group of soldiers who were drenched in the rain when they arrived on the first day, they were not immediately isolated when they fell ill, after all, ordinary symptoms of high fever are not contagious, but Sima Xin obviously miscalculated, did not take into account the regional differences, body temperature, fever, sneezing, scattered in the camp will naturally come into contact with more people, evolving into symptoms similar to modern infectious cold.

There are more than 130,000 soldiers, and the number of people who have fallen ill within 12 days has accumulated to more than 30,000, and the number of sick and dead people is more than 6,000. He didn't dare to order someone to bury him in the camp, and even the corpses that had been covered up before were quietly dug up, and even the soldiers who died of illness behind him were pulled out of the barracks and burned.

The Qin army is out on the march, although there are medicinal materials in the army, they are slightly underprepared, and each army will prepare a large number of medicinal materials for the treatment of wounds, and I have not seen any army prepare a large number of medicinal materials for the treatment of wind and cold.

At this moment, Sima Xin was no longer thinking about how to attack Nanjun, but was worried that if such a big epidemic continued in the army, there would be no need to wait for a few people to survive in the battle with Lu Zhe. (To be continued......)
