In Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhu Jie commanded military and political dignitaries to urgently control the plague epidemic and began a new round of military deployment. Almost at the same time, in the camp, Li Zicheng was also controlling the epidemic, but the difference was that Zhu Jie had two good prescriptions for treating the plague in his hands, but there were no in the camp, this thing had a long incubation period, but once it started, it was sudden, and within a few days, it could make people sick!

Now Li Zicheng is about to die of sorrow, in just seven days, the number of people who died of illness in the army has exceeded 2,000, and the number of people who have died of illness is close to 20,000, it is simply impossible to prevent it, even if Li Zicheng sent people to collect a large number of herbs and invite famous doctors, it is useless, more and more people lie down, more and more people die, so that the entire camp is filled with an atmosphere of fear, as if the end is coming!

Helpless, completely helpless, whether it is Song Xiance or Li Yan, there is nothing to do!

The only thing that can be done is to isolate the sick soldiers one by one as much as possible, but once the real isolation, it almost means death, guarding so many patients, even if they want to, there is no way to recover their health, the soldiers in the camp are even more afraid, even if they feel physically unwell, they will never dare to show it, for fear of being isolated by their bosses to other places, that is really dead!

As a result, the plague spreads even more when the disease is concealed and not reported......

Li Zicheng said in an astringent voice: "Strategist, Brother Li Yan, you say, how is this good, if you continue to be sick like this, there will be no one in our army who can fight!" Look, look, there are more than 40,000 people, and now 20,000 people are sick, accounting for half of the strength of our army......"

"King Chuang, please be calm for a while, but every great epidemic, from the occurrence to the end, there will always be a process, there is birth and decline, if a plague happens, it will not end, and the people under the sky will not die a long time ago?"

Li Yan said in a deep voice.

"But, but, when is this the end? We will not be able to support it immediately, if the Ming army sends people to attack at this time, we are afraid that we will not have the strength to fight back at all, look at the army, how can there be any morale, even the generals are listless one by one! ”

Li Zicheng said anxiously, "Are we just sitting still?" ”

Song Xiance shook his head helplessly, and persuaded: "King Chuang, now our only hope is the Western Route Army, Liu Fangliang's army believes that it is about to arrive, as long as his army arrives, we still have a chance of winning, you know, now the main force of the Ming army is in Kaifeng Mansion, I don't believe it, Sun Chuanting's army can't escape the plague, our army can't escape the plague, can Zhu Jie's army escape the plague?" That's impossible, as long as Zhu Jie's Ming army is also infected by the plague, then we have the new force of the Western Route Army, and it is easy to defeat the Ming army! ”

While he was talking, a scout hurriedly walked into the tent, knelt on the ground and replied: "King Qiqi, we have received accurate news from Kaifeng, although Zhu Jie in Kaifeng City is making every effort to prevent and control the plague, but there is still an outbreak of plague in the army, and every day there are sick soldiers who are carried out of the barracks, and the army's morale has begun to slacken!" ”

Li Zicheng's heart was much more down-to-earth when he heard this, he couldn't escape the plague, and he Zhu Jie was no better!

"Haha......"

Li Zicheng laughed and said: "Okay, good, Lao Tzu is not happy, you Zhu Jie also want to live a good life, let's see who can survive whom!" Lao Tzu must get rid of Zhu Jie's henchman this time! Order, ordered people to continue to keep an eye on Kaifeng Mansion, once there is new information, report immediately! ”

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, now the army and the Ming army are better than who lasts longer, and no one has a good time, in contrast, it is more comfortable to break into the camp, at least the West Route Army is intact and ready to fight, but the Ming Army, now there are no reinforcements, at least as soon as the West Route Army arrives, it will be the end of the Ming Army.

The next day, Liu Fangliang led 60,000 fresh troops to the Sui County area to see Li Zicheng.

However, Li Yan suggested that the two armies must be stationed separately, joke, now the way the camp is going, if the two armies will be together, it will not take ten days and half a month, but I am afraid that even Liu Fangliang's army will lie down in the same way.

Liu Fangliang led several generals to the Shuai tent and met Li Zicheng.

"King Chuang, what's the matter, if you give the order two days late, I have already crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, what is going on? The combined strength of the Middle Route Army and the East Route Army is more than 1440,000 people, if you count the displaced people, the strength is even stronger, and they were beaten so badly by the Ming army! ”

Liu Fangliang was shocked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Li Zicheng sighed and replied: "Brother Fangliang, it's all plague, plague, this sudden plague destroyed Sun Chuanting's Qin army, let our troops advance quickly, and also when we marched quickly, we also pit our two armies, especially in Kaifeng City, we were infected by a large area, and as a result, our combat power was lost, and we had to transfer Liu Zongmin to lead the East Route Army to help, who would have thought, Liu Zongmin had just arrived at the Qixian ferry, and was designed by others, and the entire cavalry was defeated by the Ming army. Immediately afterwards, the Ming army raided the infantry at the ferry port of Sui County, and the East Road army suffered heavy casualties in two ambushes, more than 60,000 people, only more than 20,000 people came to flee into Kaifeng Mansion, miserable, miserable......

Liu Fangliang gasped and said in shock: "What about Liu Zongmin? Why didn't you see him? What the hell did he do? Bastard! The army of 60,000 was surrounded and annihilated by others in just one battle! ”

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly: "The most terrible thing is Zong Min, when Zong Min broke through, he was injured by a famous general, and he was infected with the plague when he entered Kaifeng Mansion, and now the plague is so bad, he had to temporarily isolate it and recuperate in the county seat of Sui County, as for why he lost so badly, it was very simple, Liu Zongmin was on the pontoon bridge, and was ambushed, and the pontoon bridge was blown up, trapped on the bridge for more than an hour, and he could only watch the cavalry fight separately, and when he ran to the shore, he was powerless to return to the sky......

"Damn it!"

Liu Fangliang jumped up angrily and shouted: "King Chuang, our three-way army is in one place, and we must sweep away the Ming army!" This Zhu Jie has repeatedly ruined our good deeds, and Lao Tzu is definitely not finished with him! ”
