Luo Qingluan and Leng Li did not panic, as usual, quietly waiting for the development of the situation.

And Zhao Wu's side is Li Dian's henchman, the person responsible for burning the corpses of the dead soldiers. When he took a few of his subordinates and announced Li Dian's order, everyone felt the seriousness of the epidemic.

"Pile all the corpses together, prepare the oil for fire, and burn them all."

When the order was delivered to every barracks, everyone was shocked.

Going to burn the corpse?

These are all their companions, but now they are going to end up burning, and there are no corpses?

What about the rest of the patients, why is there no cure so far, can they only wait for death? After they die, the same will happen to them, they will all be burned one by one?

"No, no, these are our brothers, they can't be burned." Immediately, someone An Anna couldn't stop and wanted to ask for mercy: "Lord Commander, can you tell the general not to burn it?" People die greatly, so they have to be sent back to their hometown for burial, right? ”

When Zhao Wu heard this, his face sank: "This is the general's order, it must be burned, otherwise the epidemic will spread, and no one will be responsible!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, "You guys go quickly, carry all the corpses out, rub them off, and dispose of them all by military law!" ”

Everyone listened to this and didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so they could only turn around and go.

In a moment, the corpses were lifted out, and at first they were neatly placed together, but gradually there were more and more corpses, and the open space could not be piled up at all, but could only overlap.

Later, the corpses had piled up like a hill, and every dead face, pale skin, dry lips, and sick face were full of ...... There are also tattered clothes on his body, and the stench all over his body, even a little filthy. The things were not cleaned, and they were all glued to the body, which was miserable.

Countless Southern Wei soldiers couldn't bear to look at it directly, but they had to watch it, when the fire oil was poured and the flames rose, the sound and the strong stench made people almost vomit.

"Vomit ......" One by one, the soldiers who couldn't stand it turned around, bent over, and then spit out in large gulps.

Even if they can't see it, they will never forget this moment. There has been a shadow on their hearts, and everyone is worried, only afraid that they will fall in the next moment, and the end of being burned may be their fate.

The flames burned until late at night, and the stench of meat was filled around, mixed with an indescribable taste, like a boulder weighing heavily on everyone's hearts. No one spoke, no one slept, and some didn't even eat.

At the fire, a few soldiers were talking in whispers.

"I feel a little uncomfortable...... Could it be, also poisoned? ”

"No, go and get some medicine!"

"The potion issued by the quartermaster is useless at all, didn't Zhang Lai also eat it, and he died the same!"

Another voice suddenly muffled: "What then?" ”

"Perhaps, we'll all die here, don't think about going back." A soldier slammed his fist on the ground: "Damn, if you die on the battlefield and are killed by those Western Chu people, Lao Tzu has nothing to say, but it's ......"

"It's just that it's too embarrassing to die of illness, I don't want to die of illness, it's a shame to say it."

"But there's no way at all, I didn't see how much it burned today, even the captain died, and it wasn't the same burn. You say, is it God who punished us, and that's why this plague has been struck...

…”

"What kind of plague, it's obviously poisoned, I'm afraid we'll all die here!"

Suddenly, someone stood up with an unwilling face: "No, I don't want to die here, it's better to escape......"

"You are crazy, running away is tantamount to treason, you will be arrested and dealt with by military law, and you will be beaten to death!" Someone immediately stopped him, but it was useless.

There is more than one person who thinks like this, and when someone says it first, it is like a seed has sprouted, and it grows wildly in the heart. For the sake of life, for the sake of hope, no one wants to die.

Soon, three of these people discussed, went back to the camp to pack their things, and after looking around sneakily, they secretly led a horse and ran away......

Looking at the back that was gradually disappearing in the distance, Luo Qingluan glanced at Leng Li, and his eyes were cold: "Sure enough, there are deserters." ”

"When Li Dian finds out about this tomorrow, I'm afraid that I will be angry, but I can't hide this matter at all, and it won't be long before there will be more deserters." Leng Li nodded and said, "As long as this epidemic is not lifted, the people of Southern Wei will be immersed in panic, and those who are ill will slowly die, causing even greater panic." ”

He and Luo Qingluan had already calculated, and now there were more than 10,000 Southern Wei soldiers who were poisoned, and hundreds or thousands of them died of diarrhea and dehydration every day, and they had no strength to fight at all. Even if they were to flee now, there would be no problem.

Originally, Leng Li wanted to escape with Luo Qingluan, but Luo Qingluan didn't agree, and he had to wait until the situation stabilized, so Leng Li had to stay.

And Luo Qingluan is actually waiting for a bigger civil strife to break out.

And this civil strife is coming soon.

The next day, when Li Dian learned that a soldier had secretly escaped, he was really furious: "Bastard, don't send someone to arrest it soon!" None of them are allowed to leave, in case they leave, but they infect other people......" When he thought that the border city might also be the same as the border city barracks, he was worried.

If that's the case, I'm afraid he will have to bear all the blame, right?

"The order goes down, and whoever escapes, the captain will be whipped fifty, and immediately in groups of three, watch each other, and whoever escapes one, the other two will also be severely punished, and there shall be no mistake."

When this order was conveyed, all the Southern Wei soldiers could no longer control their excitement.

Originally, they were still holding out the hope that they would be cured by drinking medicine, but they didn't know that it was getting worse and worse, and some people even died. I want to wait for the rescue of the imperial court, who knows that it is still far away, and now, they are being monitored, but anyone who has misdeeds will be executed, how can I endure this?

"No, we want to see the general, why do you give such an order, isn't this deliberately making us wait for death?"

"General, why don't you explain, not only do you not save people, but you want to trap us?"

"If we die in battle, absolutely none of us will back down, but now there is neither medicine nor treatment, and if we die, we will have to burn our bodies, who wants to? We're gone! ”

"yes, quit!"

Countless Southern Wei soldiers were excited, and they made a fuss one by one, and the fiercest confrontation broke out in the barracks.

Some people suppressed, some people resisted, the situation became more and more severe, when Li Dian learned all this, the whole person was stunned: "How, how can this be, it's the opposite, it's the opposite!" They turned around one by one?! ”

"General, you better give the order quickly, otherwise they will make a fuss and there will really be chaos

！ Now the men of the 1st, 2nd and 4th battalions are outside, let the general either come up with an antidote to cure the disease, or let them go, or ...... They're coming! ”

Li Dian suddenly trembled: "What, they're going to turn around?" ”

At this moment, a deafening roar sounded from outside: "Antidote, antidote!" ”

"We're going back!"

"We don't want to die!"

Like the waves of the sea, a roar resounded one after another, resounding throughout the camp.

"General, don't insist any longer, or they will really rush in, just ...... Something is going to happen. The pro-soldier persuaded, his face was covered with sweat, and he was anxious.

His eyes became more and more gloomy, and Li Dian seemed to have sensed that the situation had taken a sharp turn, but he was afraid that he would not be able to control it.

An expedition was not defeated in the hands of the Western Chu people, but was defeated in an inexplicable providence. Pestilence? Poisoning? What was going on, even he couldn't tell.

Like a lost dog, Li Dian hung his head and said listlessly: "Forget it, let them go, what do you want, General Ben doesn't want to care anymore, if you want to die, you will die......"

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wait." ”

This voice was full of anger, it came too suddenly, Li Dian turned his head suddenly, and saw a young man standing behind him, and he actually came in from behind the camp tent, and made a cut, no wonder he didn't notice how he came in.

This person is naturally cold, and beside him, there is Luo Qingluan with an indifferent face.

"General, I haven't seen you for two days, why is it like this?" Luo Qingluan looked at him, with indescribable coldness and sarcasm in his eyes.

"Princess ...... Chu"

Looking at Luo Qingluan, who had a calm face in front of him, and Leng Li, who had recovered from his injuries, Li Dian seemed to have guessed something, his eyes were sharp, but they quickly dimmed again.

At this time, what if he knew?

It seems that this is not a plague at all, it is simply poisoning! Moreover, the person who poisoned it was Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu.

Li Dian couldn't help but smile bitterly, eager to slap himself a few times.

If he hadn't left Luo Qingluan in the barracks, if he hadn't been negligent and didn't take Luo Qingluan in his eyes, how could there have been this day? What's ridiculous is that he used Luo Qingluan as a savior and listened to her words, but I'm afraid that because of this, this disaster has spread so quickly, right?

"Princess Chu, you are powerful, it is General Ben who lost." Li Dian hung his head and didn't even bother to resist.

He naturally knows Leng Li's martial arts, let alone him, but he is afraid that three or five more people will not be his opponents.

Luo Qingluan's purpose was naturally not to kill so many people, standing in front of Li Dian, she said lightly: "Since the general admits defeat, it's easy to say, I only ask the general, do you want to save them?" Do you still want these sick Southern Wei soldiers to live? ”

With a move in his eyes, Li Dian stared at Luo Qingluan: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, just ask the general if you want me to save them."

If this matter can really be solved, how can Li Dian be unwilling?

In today's situation, he almost already knows his end, it is definitely a capital crime, and it may even implicate his family, if there is a way to save it, how can he not be willing?

couldn't help but raise a glimmer of hope again, Li Dian said: "If you still have a way, Princess Chu, then what do you need me to do?" ”
