Chapter 547: The epidemic in the army, Hua Tuo rescues the field
The night breeze is gentle, and the cool river breeze adds a touch of comfort to the hot summer.
But everyone in Cao's camp felt as if they were being roasted in a furnace, and their whole bodies felt terribly uncomfortable.
Recently, dozens of soldiers in Cao's camp have been infected with the plague. Although the number is not large, it has cast a shadow over the entire Cao army camp.
Plague was not uncommon in the late Han Dynasty, but every large-scale outbreak was enough to cause headaches.
Cao's army's land troops were basically from the north.
After they came to the south, they were not used to the humid air and the wide variety of mosquitoes in the south. Many soldiers became acclimatized, and coupled with the hot weather, plagues breed in the army.
Now there are many soldiers in various departments of Cao's army suffering from this kind of symptoms.
After meeting up with Lu Yan, General Cao Cao told Lu Yan about the illness of his sergeant. Through some of the symptoms described by Cao Cao, Lu Yan quickly thought of a very terrible infectious disease in ancient times, dysentery!
Dysentery may not be a big deal in modern times, it is at most a Class B infectious disease.
But in this era before antibiotics were born, it is a very terrible infectious disease. People who get dysentery will have fever, stomach pain, diarrhea, pus and bloody stools, and will quickly develop into dehydration, shock, and death.
After learning that dysentery had appeared in the army, Lu Yan asked Lao Cao to immediately order everyone to ensure personal hygiene and not drink raw water. At the same time, the sick soldiers were isolated and only the army doctors were allowed in and out.
Fortunately, Cao Cao wrote to Xuchang very early to ask Hua Tuo to come, which bought valuable time to quell the plague in the army as soon as possible.
During the time when Hua Tuo arrived,
Lu Yan, Xun You, Jia Xu and others not only had to direct the soldiers to isolate the sick soldiers, but also to reassure people and stabilize the morale of the troops and ensure combat effectiveness. It can be said that they were all so busy that they had no time to rest.
Although Hua Tuo was very old, when he heard that there was a plague in the army, he immediately mobilized doctors and apprentices from hundreds of hospitals. Under the escort of more than a thousand fine cavalry, he went to the hospital with the fastest speed.
We arrived at Chibi Camp quickly.
Although dysentery appeared in the army, fortunately, Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others dealt with it in a timely manner, preventing a large-scale outbreak of dysentery.
During the tense wait, Hua Tuo and others rushed to Chibi in just seven days.
The arrival of Hua Tuo made Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others heave a sigh of relief.
With the addition of hundreds of experienced doctors and apprentices such as Hua Tuo, whether it was a sick soldier or a soldier who was not sick, the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Ordinary dysentery is nothing if cured quickly.
The main reason is that these soldiers got sick during the march and did not receive timely treatment.
If dysentery prolongs, it will lead to deficiency and evil, and turn into rest dysentery... You don't understand even if you tell me, why should I tell you this?" Hua Tuo said to Lu Yan beside him while grinding the herbs.
"..."
You're despised! But you know that I, Mr. Lu, can't understand, so why are you taking the initiative to talk about it?
But Lu Yan didn't feel dissatisfied at all, and the smile on his face even became brighter, "Brother Hua, I really trouble you this time."
Hua Tuo seemed a little dissatisfied that Lu Yan kept disturbing him while he was preparing medicine, so he issued an eviction order, "Is there anything else? If nothing else, you can go out first."
Lu Yan actually had something going on, but he had always been a little embarrassed to say it.
Seeing Lu Yan's coy look, Hua Tuo suddenly looked him up and down with a strange look, "You are young, are you not good at something?"
"???" Lu Yan was stunned by Hua Tuo's logic, "I'm not good at something???"
It took a while for Lu Yan to react, and he finally said with a hint of anger on his face: "Brother Hua, why did you slander me without any evidence? Don't think we are familiar, if you continue to smear me, I will also sue you for slander.
!”
"Then what can't you say?" Hua Tuo sneered disdainfully, then turned back and continued tinkering with his herbal medicine.
After waiting for a long time, Hua Tuo still refused to tell the truth when he saw Lu Yan.
Hua Tuo, who is not young but has a very violent temper, finally couldn't help but reveal Lu Yan's little thoughts, "You have been married to Mrs. Lu for so many years, why is there still no movement in her stomach?"
The smile on Lu Yan's face froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But now that Hua Tuo had guessed what he was thinking, Lu Yan completely let go of the burden in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, brother, Lingqi has gone to great lengths for the sake of her child... This paragraph of her
I don’t know what kind of stimulation Shi Shi got, but even in the army, he even wanted to...sigh..."
Hua Tuo didn't mean to see Lu Yan's joke. He calmly explained to Lu Yan: "People who practice martial arts, especially people like you who have even reached the innate realm, do have this problem. This
If the internal force in your body is too strong, it will not be easy for your wife to conceive a child."
After hearing this, Lu Yan had some enlightenment in his heart, "Is it true that the rumors that too much internal power can kill xx are true?"
"Then what should I do?" Lu Yan asked.
"What else can we do?" Hua Tuo turned his head, looked at Lu Yan for a while, and said, "It's not easy, but it's not impossible. As for when you can get your wife to conceive a child, it depends on your hard work."
Lu Yan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "You are trying to squeeze out my rhythm!"
The two of them talked some more, and when Hua Tuo saw that Lu Yan was untied and started to make jokes again, he waved his hand and directly drove Lu Yan out.
Walking in the quiet camp, Lu Yan, who was in a good mood, saw a torch in front of him, so he walked over and sat under the light of the fire.
Taking out the diary, Lu Yan planned to finish today's diary before returning to the camp to see Lu Lingqi. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he would still have time to write the diary when he returns...
【In the 10th year of Jian'an, it was extremely hot in mid-August.】
[Sometimes a person who is too strong is also a burden...]
[Although I don’t know if Dr. Hua’s conclusion is correct, I still have to work harder after all. Lu Lingqi’s eyes are green when she sees other people’s children now. If she doesn’t keep improving, she will probably be blamed...]
[To be honest, I still want a daughter. After all, who doesn’t like a caring little cotton-padded jacket? 】
[But it would actually be good if it was a son. He can inherit my talent and handsome appearance and make his own contribution to the world in the future...]
[Anyway, I like them all regardless of whether they are men or women...So, when it’s time to work hard, I can’t be lazy anymore...]
As Lu Yan wrote this, he couldn't help but feel a little longing in his heart.
He has never had the experience of being a father, neither in his previous life nor in this life.
When he thought that he might become a father, Lu Yan suddenly felt a little nervous.
In the flickering firelight, Lu Yan finally calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
Lu Yan shook his head, put his too personal concerns in his heart, and continued to write with a different idea,
[It has been confirmed that this epidemic is indeed dysentery.]
[It turns out that one of the reasons for Boss Cao's failure in Chibi was the plague... I said that with the elite level of Cao's army, how could it be impossible to defeat Zhou Yu's Jiangdong soldiers who were weak as soon as they landed...]
[If the plague can be controlled or even eliminated, then this battle will most likely be won.]
