Chapter 199: The rainstorm is coming
late at night.
A soldier felt that his whole body suddenly became very hot. For some unknown reason, his head began to become dizzy. After a while, he felt that his whole body began to feel hot, and his internal organs were like fire. He began to suffer from pain.
screamed.
The Paoze brothers around him noticed something strange about him and quickly called the military doctor.
However, while the military doctor was diagnosing him, several more soldiers fell ill one after another, and they all looked very painful, and their initial states were exactly the same.
Originally, the military doctor thought it was just a common fever, but when more and more soldiers got sick, he noticed something strange. Some soldiers actually developed convulsions within two hours of falling ill. Moreover, some
The skin on his body actually showed brown spots, which surprised him.
He also became extremely panicked. Considering all the symptoms of the disease, he searched all the ancient medical books but could not find any corresponding illness.
The number of people getting sick was increasing, and the military doctor knew that he could not delay it any longer, so he hurriedly said to a general: "General, this disease is weird, the probability of infection is extremely high, and most of the patients are extremely painful. I have already
Notified all the military doctors in the camp and asked them to prepare antipyretic medicine overnight.
However, before the cause of the disease is found out, I hope that the general can integrate all the sick soldiers into one place, and any soldiers who have been in close contact with the sick people must be isolated, and other soldiers must also have their ears
, nose, hands, etc., all be on guard, and try to avoid direct physical contact with others.”
The general saw the military doctor looking like he was facing a formidable enemy and asked, "Is this really so serious?"
The military doctor replied: "General, it's no time to delay! The number of people who are sick is rising sharply, and the symptoms are all the same. This is no accident! A few days ago, a plague broke out in Shu. I have the honor to follow Zhu Yan, the leading Chinese medical doctor.
Senior Xiu went to fight against the plague in Shu. At that time, the plague was called smallpox.
The degree of contagion of the smallpox plague is not much different from this disease, but the symptoms of smallpox have not yet appeared.
That was the first time I saw a plague like smallpox, which I will never forget. Moreover, Senior Zhu Yanxiu once said that once a highly contagious disease breaks out, the first thing to do is to gather all the sick people together.
, avoid human contact, because once the situation escalates, it will be like a river bursting its banks, and it will be out of control!"
The heavy rain outside the camp continued to fall, sometimes accompanied by thunder, which was strange and scary.
Everything was quiet, as if they were patiently waiting for a bigger downpour to come.
After hearing what the military doctor said, the general couldn't remain calm anymore. He quickly followed the military doctor's instructions. He didn't have to believe the military doctor, but he would definitely believe Zhu Yanxiu, because that doctor was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor.
A generation of Chinese doctors who are always on their lips!
After following the military doctor's instructions, General Pian decided to meet Marshal Xiao without any hesitation.
Xiao Yuming usually slept in the military camp.
When the general came to Xiao Yuming's tent, he had already fallen asleep. The general stood outside the door in the heavy rain, spoke loudly, and bowed to Xiao Yuming who was sleeping soundly in the tent and said: "
General Wang Zhibao, the commander of Modao Camp, has met with Marshal Xiao, and he has an urgent military intelligence report!"
Perhaps because Xiao Yuming had been busy investigating the great wizard these past few days, he fell asleep early and fell asleep deeply. In his sleep, he did not hear the general's voice.
But Wang Zhibao's voice awakened Cui Jian.
He slept next to Xiao Yuming's tent.
When he got out of his tent, he saw Wang Zhibao standing in the rain and said to him impatiently: "The marshal has gone to bed. If you have anything to do, please come back early tomorrow morning!"
Wang Zhibao knew that Cui Jian was the bodyguard in front of Marshal Xiao, so he hurriedly said to him: "The general has a very urgent military intelligence report. If it is delayed for one more moment, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Cui Jian frowned when he saw this.
There has been no fighting recently. Where did the urgent military information come from? Could it be that the rebels are attacking the city? Impossible. Once the rebels attack the city, their military reports should be urgent. Moreover, they should not be standing on the sidelines in the rain.
Will know first.
Thinking of this, he thought that it was not a particularly urgent military situation, so he said to him: "Marshal Xiao is really tired these days. Let him have a good rest. I will call you in person tomorrow.
If you have any military information, please inform Marshal Xiao in person."
Wang Zhibao was very anxious after hearing this. How could such a thing be delayed?
What if, as the military doctor said, this disease is a plague similar to smallpox?
Once the army is infected with the plague, it will affect the entire country!
No carelessness, no procrastination!
He might really be a little anxious, and the heavy rain kept pouring on him, which made the situation even more serious. After thinking for a moment, he actually knelt on the ground in the heavy rain and faced the tent.
Xiang Xiang said in his loudest voice: "The general has an urgent military situation. I hope the marshal will meet you!"
When Cui Jian heard such a loud sound, he felt anxious, because the sound actually covered up the thunder, and he was afraid that it would really disturb Marshal Xiao's rest. However, Cui Jian was also moved when he saw him kneeling down.
, he said: "You wait a moment, I will wake up the marshal."
Seeing this general in such a hurry, maybe something big is about to happen.
Forget it! This is a matter of military affairs. If something goes wrong, no one can afford it.
But just as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuming's voice came from the camp: "Is this Zhibao? I heard your voice, come in!"
After Wang Zhibao heard the sound, he felt happy and hurriedly went to Xiao Yuming's camp regardless of his image.
After entering, he found that the marshal was changing his clothes, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Marshal, there is an urgent military situation at the end of the day, and there is no need to delay!"
Xiao Yuming said while getting dressed: "Tell me, what exactly made you so flustered? You are an old man who follows His Majesty after all. What can make you flustered like this must be something big, right?"
Wang Zhibao nodded and told Xiao Yuming the news that many soldiers were sick tonight, and also told the general doctor's guess.
After Xiao Yuming heard this, he stood up suddenly.
He quickly put on his armor and said to Wang Zhibao: "You have done a good job in this matter. Let's go and take this commander to see what happened!"
Wang Zhibao took the order, and the two of them went to the camp where the patients were gathered together.
At this moment, the entire camp was filled with military doctors who were wrapped up tightly, staying up late or walking back and forth among the hospital beds, constantly asking about the physical condition of each soldier.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Yuming felt a little worried, and told Cui Jian: "Order the whole city to be under martial law, and then invite all the doctors and doctors in the city to the military camp. Remember, their identities must be verified.
"
Xiao Yuming's move was to prepare for a rainy day. He called for a military doctor and asked, "Have you found out what the disease is?"
The military doctor was sweating profusely on his forehead and looked very flustered. After hearing Marshal Xiao's question, he sighed in his heart and said: "Reporting to Marshal, I still don't know the extent of his condition.
However, the skin of some soldiers has begun to ulcerate, and after taking antipyretics, the fever still persists, so..."
Seeing his hesitant attitude, Xiao Yuming became angry: "If it's serious, it doesn't matter if you just say it."
When the military doctor heard these words, he felt as if he had taken a dose of reassurance, and said: "I have a preliminary suspicion that this is definitely not an ordinary disease. It is probably a plague that has never been seen before and the onset time is very fast!
"
When the military doctor finished speaking, there was thunder and lightning outside the camp, and the sound was shocking.
All the soldiers who came with Xiao Yuming in the camp were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
But Xiao Yuming was the only one who was unusually calm. He just nodded lightly, and then said: "Send the order. Anyone who knows about this matter, inside or outside the hospital camp, who dares to discuss or spread it will be dealt with according to the law of war..."
Having said this, he paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Kill without mercy."
When all the soldiers heard this, they bowed in silence and became frightened.
Xiao Yuming slowly walked out of the hospital camp and walked towards the outside of the military camp. It was still raining heavily at the moment. But he no longer cared about whether it would rain or not.
When Wang Zhibao saw this, he shouted to him: "Marshal, where are you going?"
Only then did Xiao Yuming stop, and Wang Zhibao quickly brought an umbrella to hold him up from the rain.
He shook his head and signaled to Wang Zhibao that he didn't need to hold an umbrella.
