Nanjun has now turned into a hellish scene. The entire city has ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and a special area has been set aside in the south of the city to burn corpses.
Sima Shang tied a rag soaked in concoction to his face and went from house to house looking for survivors.
When he discovered that there was a plague in Nanjun, Sima Shang immediately sealed the entire city and no one was allowed in or out. He also took out all the remaining money and grain from the warehouse.
This approach brought it under control without affecting other cities.
When Zhao Rui rushed here, he was frightened by what he saw.
When he came here last time, there were still floods here and there was a swamp everywhere. He originally thought that scene was miserable enough, but he didn't expect that this time it was simply a hell on earth.
When Sima Shang saw Zhao Rui watching the large group of people approaching, he was immediately excited and hurried out of the city to greet him, but he did not dare to get too close to Zhao Rui.
"Master Zhao, you must know the situation in the city, so just leave the medicinal materials where they are and I will have people move them in."
Zhao Rui didn't care about that, tied the medicinal strips he had prepared on his face, and led the people into Nanjun.
Sima Shang's eyes were full of guilt: "I am incompetent, and I am ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty! I turned Nanjun into this state."
Zhao Rui quickly helped Sima Shang up.
"Sir, you don't have to be like this. This is a natural disaster and has nothing to do with you! Can you tell me the situation here in detail?"
Sima Shang immediately took out the report prepared in advance.
The plague appeared very strangely this time, but it was not serious at first. Sima Shang was worried. A group of doctors quickly cured the patient, but he did not expect that only one day later, someone else fell ill.
After continuous treatment, the doctors were exhausted, and some were exhausted and died from exhaustion.
After a brief understanding of the situation, Bai Hua directly took over the Nanjun Army and Horses Department as the General of Chariots and Cavalry, mobilizing all active suppressors and officers and soldiers to inspect the entire city and maintain public order.
Shangguan Mu gathered the officials in the city together, briefly inquired about the implementation of the law, and then went to help treat the refugees.
By evening, the chaotic Nanjun City had become peaceful.
However, a steady stream of refugees were found and brought to the treatment area in the center of the city.
After understanding the specific situation, the imperial doctor found two patients for diagnosis and treatment, and at the same time took out the prescriptions prescribed by the previous doctors for reference.
They were surprised to find that the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor was already the best solution.
If the medicines were taken strictly according to the prescription, the plague would be cured within three days, but now it took so long, which really surprised them.
Zhao Rui was sitting in a tent, watching the memorials over the past few days.
Sima Shang was indeed meticulous. Even under such circumstances, not a single thing in the city was left behind.
Li Fei took several Qianyu Guards and Bai Hua's soldiers out of the city for inspection, and then hurried back.
"Sir, we found traces of Liang Guo cavalry five miles south of the city. We also found many dead rats in a thatched house in the east of the city, as if they were deliberately thrown there!"
Zhao Rui suddenly realized that it seemed like a plague that would inevitably occur after the flood, but in fact it was poisoned deliberately by Liang Guo.
They brought dead sick rats into the city and made the whole city sick.
It seems that they want to wait until Nanjun loses resistance before sending troops to attack the city!
