Plague and Victory

The sun shines on this barren land for thousands of miles, and on some frozen rivers, the river water begins to slowly thaw; while in the distance, under the sand, some goose-yellow grass has sparsely poked out countless thin and weak heads.

Qinghai Lake, not far from Xining Prefecture, is a different world. At this time, the lake water is clear and green trees are everywhere. Among them, groups of fish swim around.

By the lake, two fast horses, one in the south and one in the north, were rushing to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the northwest oasis. The horses were so tired that they foamed at the mouth. The people on the horse looked very nervous. From afar, the Northwest Army was already in sight.

"Report to the Marshal, three days ago, a group of cavalry of the Red Jin tribe attacked our Dafeng Mountain garrison but failed. Then, a plague broke out in the military camp. Within two days, more than 800 people had died..."

"Report to the Marshal, a plague occurred by the Jielong Lake and the local people died heavily. Yesterday, two soldiers in the Yushu Town army died in the middle of the night. At present, the military doctor has not yet found the cause of death..."

Every spring, there are always plagues, big or small, on this land, but it is very rare to spread on a large scale in the army. Dafengshan garrisons 5,000 troops, while Yushu Town, which was headed by Zhou Yida, has more than 50,000 troops. If the plague spreads in these two places, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The spy continued: "The food and grass in Yushu Town Army has not yet been enough for half a month, and I also found out that the Red Jin army was gathering in this direction. General Zhou was afraid that the plague would be attacked when it was spreading, so I asked the marshal to give emergency instructions..."

Jun Yu frowned. The news of the robbery of military pay had already spread. Zhenmuthel's defeat in Yushu was aroused by great hatred. Under such a good opportunity, it is really urgent to make a comeback.

Although the court had ordered local governments to provide nearby assistance and provide food and wages, the government offices still found various excuses and delayed. The army could not enter the government offices to rob, so they had to wait for the military wages allocated by the court again.

Jun Yu thought that Xining Prefecture has the most abundant food and grass, and it can still last for more than a month, so Lin Baoshan, Zhang Yuan and others are enough to maintain the situation.

She immediately ordered Lu Ling to lead a doctor from Xining Prefecture to investigate the epidemic first, and she took Geng Ke and several other military doctors to prepare to go straight to Dafeng Mountain.

Just as I was about to set off, I suddenly heard Bai Ruhui come to the military camp.

Jun Yu was very surprised. Bai Ruhui returned to Phoenix City at the end of last year to preside over the affairs. How could he come in a hurry at this moment?

As soon as Bai Ruhui came in, he immediately said, "Master, I came here on the order of Young Master Nongying."

It turned out that when Fenghuangzhai learned that the Northwest Army's military pay was robbed, Mr. Nongying served as an official in the court for several years. He knew that the matter was critical, he immediately sent Bai Ruhui to go first.

Bai Ruhui found a pile of silver notes, which was part of the funds accumulated by Fenghuangzhai’s business over the years. It was the silver notes exchanged by major bankers in the southwest and northwest. It was as many as 100,000. Although it couldn’t last long, it was enough to alleviate the current urgent need.

Jun Yu was overjoyed: "Where is Mr. Nongying now?"

"The new type of artillery that Mr. studied was soon successful. He said that after the artillery was successful, he would bring the artillery in person."

Jun Yu sighed: "Mr. Nongying is very skilled in medical skills, it would be great if he was there."

Bai Ruhui also said: "When I came, Fenghuang Village had not yet learned of the plague. If I knew, Young Master Nongying would definitely come in person."

The 500 elite horseman's hooves were lightly introduced, and the specially bandaged horse's hooves were raised and there was no sound news.

The wind blows on the prairie next to Dafeng Mountain, which is completely a scene of spring and flowers blooming, while the stream flowing slowly next to it emits a slight fishy smell.

There are also some groundhogs, all kinds of unknown animals running around.

After years of war, Jun Yu knew that these streams or unknown rats were probably the source of the plague. Everyone had their masks and horses were also covered with their mouths. It was strictly forbidden for any human and animal to drink water and eat grass at will.

A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and the dense grass suddenly rose and fell.

Geng Ke said: "No, the Red Jin Clan cavalry is here."

Jun Yu pulled his horse, and at this time, the spy replied: "About 5,000 cavalrymen rushed from the opposite side."

“Route immediately.”

At this time, the vanguard cavalry of the Red Jin clan had already rushed down, and the vast grass suddenly gathered arrows like rain, and the cavalry rushing in front fell to the ground one after another.

The cavalry of the Red Jin tribe like locusts continued to surge. A burly man who led the army was very skillful in archery techniques, shooting several people one after another. In the rain of arrows like clusters, Jun Yu jumped off the horse, flew down a cavalry of the Red Jin tribe, stood on his horse's back, took the bow and arrow, and shot the powerful general off the horse with one arrow.

The army was charging and galloping suddenly saw a young man like a god standing so high on the horse's back, and shot his generals down with one arrow, while the arrows shot at the young man fell to the ground one after another, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Fei Shuai Fengcheng."

This exclamation shocked the cavalry coming up from behind. At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of charge in the grass on the left, as if thousands of troops were fighting out. It was a hundred people who rushed out with the special small trumpet invented by Mr. Nongying.

Everyone was shocked and thought they were in ambush. They were panic and trampled on each other. Many people were killed and injured.

The "Emei Pioneer" and all the elite soldiers fought against ten. After half an hour, there were corpses everywhere on the grass. Only more than a hundred cavalry fled and seized more than 3,000 war horses.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

The Dafeng Mountain military camp was brightly lit, without noise or noise. The rotating soldiers were fully armed and transported batches of corpses to a large pit five miles away every half hour.

Since they could not touch the corpses, they would use sharp spears to carry the corpses together and still be in the carriage. Sometimes they were improperly operated, and it would take a while for them to be picked up on the carriage.

These corpses were their living companions not long ago, but now they are dead one after another. The soldiers coming and going all looked dark, wondering if it would be their turn again after they lifted this one.

It's a more disturbing torture than a cruel rush.

The temporary safe people and those who have symptoms were separated into two temporary camps.

The defense outside the military camp has temporarily evacuated because they know that the Red Jin tribe is only wandering thirty miles away from Dafeng Mountain and will never set foot on this plague-ridden death land at this critical moment.

In the military camp, no one really fell asleep with peace of mind, and faces were covered with the breath of death and fear.

The five hundred elite cavalry stopped ten miles away, and Jun Yu only brought a few doctors into the camp.

Xu Ming, the general of Dafeng Mountain, had already been guarding the camp. When he saw Jun Yu, he immediately said anxiously: "Marson. What should I do now?"

Jun Yu nodded and signaled him to calm down.

At this time, the military doctor was already checking the epidemic. In the middle of the night, seven or eight doctors met, but they couldn't tell what was going on.

By dawn, the death toll in the army had reached more than 2,000.

Jun Yu, Xu Ming and a group of doctors were at a loss when they suddenly saw Geng Ke bringing two holy monks to come, but it was the iron rod Xia Ao and a monk with wrinkles on his face and age who was so old that Xia Ao was carrying a huge bag.

Jun Yu was a little surprised. Xia Ao put down his bag and said, "These are some herbs for treating the epidemic. I heard that the epidemic is rampant in the Northwest Army. Bokedo's orders us to come to see if we can help."

Jun Yu nodded in thanking him, but saw the old monk walking into the patient's camp without saying a word.

Xia Ao said: "This is an elder with the most skilled medical skills. I don't know how old he is."
