my wife is mulan

At this time, Princess Tuzhen said to Dayan and Wu Ti: "Khan, Brother Wu Ti, I thought it was better to send someone to tell Pi Lixian to lead the army to continue to the royal court. Let Pi Li lead the army to attack from behind, and we attack the Wei army!"

Da Tan was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Very good, Wu Ti, you immediately send a fast horse to tell Pi Lixian!"

"Yes, Father Khan!"

······

Mobei, on the south bank of Gonglushui "now the Kherlen River in Mongolia".

A huge military camp is located by the river, and the banner of the Wei Army is planted in the military camp. This is the camp of King Yongchang of the Eastern Route Army.

Groups of soldiers in the camp sat on the ground chatting and beating, and some of them walked slowly in the camp.

After a month of fighting and marching, the East Route Army, under the command of Yongchang Wang Tuobajian, came to the waterside of Gonglu, eliminated dozens of Rouran tribes and made countless gains along the way.

Most of the battles were fought by the Youwei Army, Xiaocai Army, Woye Army, and Huaishuo Army. The supply camp only fought three small tribes and captured not many.

However, Zhao Junsheng is very satisfied. It is not necessarily good to fight a big battle. Although he wins a lot of seizures, he must also lose a lot of troops and horses. He only has more than 3000 cavalry in his hand. After fighting these three battles, he commanded the cavalry to use all the cavalry tactics they had practiced. Not only did he have actual command experience in command, but the soldiers also experienced the baptism of blood and fire. Tactical use has also matured.

Zhao Junsheng sat on a stone by the river, listening to the gurgling water, and reading Hua Mulan's letter. It is extremely joyful for a man to receive a letter from his beloved woman, but he hides secretly by himself.

Faith is the happiest and most beautiful thing.

Hua Mulan said in her letter that they had crossed the desert and wiped out more than a dozen Rouran tribes in the upper reaches of the Sushui River, but more Rouran tribes fled, and there were scattered Rouran people everywhere on the grassland. It was too late to escape. The cattle and sheep taken away and the belongings left behind.

Moreover, the scouts sent by Tuoba Tao seemed to have found the trace of Rouran Khan Dayan, who was fleeing to the royal court with some soldiers and horses. At this time, Tuoba Tao was leading an army to pursue closely behind.

In the letter, Hua Mulan not only told him some things about the process of marching and fighting, but also implicitly expressed her longing at the end, girls, you have to be more reserved, and told him to protect himself and not to force everything Get ahead.

Zhao Junsheng was full of happiness in his heart. He put away the letter and hid it close to his body. At this time, his follower Guo Yi came over and asked with a smile, "Dutong, what did the young lady say in the letter? You are so happy to see it!"

"Go, go, what do children know? Should you be worried about what was written in the letter between the young lady and Ben Dutong? Really!" Zhao Junsheng yelled like waving away flies.

Guo Yi hurriedly cupped his hands and smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, the villain shouldn't talk too much! By the way, King Yongchang sent someone to say that the scouts had caught a Rouran messenger twenty miles to the southwest, and told you to go to the big tent to discuss matters!"

"Well, let's go!"

Zhao Junsheng came to the big tent of the Chinese army. At this time, the chiefs and deputy commanders of all armies, Sima, etc. were all here, and he was waiting for him alone.

Tuoba Jian saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "I think you all know that just now our scouts caught a Rouran messenger twenty miles to the southwest! According to the interrogation, the Rouran messenger confessed that the Big Tan faction He went to report to Pi Lixian, telling Pi Lixian that my Wei army had entered the desert, and asked Pi Lixian to lead the army to speed up and rush to the royal court to flank His Majesty's army with Datan's Rouran army! According to the messenger, Pi Lixian He and his men should not be far away from us, how should we deal with it now?"

Chapter 365 Plague outbreak

"My lord, we must not allow Pi Li to lead his army to Rouran Khan Court to attack His Majesty's army together with Da Tan, otherwise the West Route Army will be in danger, and His Majesty will be in danger!" Xiaoqi General Yan Pu stood up and clasped his fists.

Wan Dugui and Yuan He stood up and echoed each other: "General Yanpu is right, the last general will wait for his second opinion!"

The death of the emperor and the victory or defeat of the West Route Army have nothing to do with Zhao Junsheng, but he can't let the West Route Army go wrong, because Hua Mulan is in the West Route Army, and if the West Route Army is in danger, Hua Mulan must be in danger.

Zhao Junsheng immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, our army must dispatch a large number of scouts to find out where Pi Lixian's men are, and then quickly dispatch troops to intercept them!"

Tuoba Jian also knew that if he did not intercept, Tuoba Tao's army would definitely be at risk of being flanked by front and back, but in the vast Mobei, where to find Pi Lixian and his army, he frowned and said: "This Mobei is too big, we I don’t know which way Pi Li went first, and how to find it? Even if we send out scouts, the range of scouts is limited, and if they are too far away from the army, they may lose contact!”

Zhao Junsheng smiled slightly, "Did the lord forget that he caught the messenger? The messenger must know which way Pi Lixian will go, and Pi Lixian is not at the station anymore. Which road did Pi Lixian take, and how could he bring the news to Pi Lixian? Besides, Mobei does not have water sources everywhere from east to west. Pi Lixian must march along the water source when he marches. The scope of investigation has been reduced!"

"Junsheng reminded you well!" Tuoba Jian smiled happily, and immediately ordered: "Come here, go and interrogate the messenger again, and ask him to confess Pi Lixian's marching route!"

Bo and aide Yu Ji stood up and cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm asking for this errand!"

Tuoba Jian nodded and agreed: "Sir, I will rest assured that Mr. Lao is here!"

Yu Ji came back within two minutes after going out, and brought back a simple and rough map, and hung it up for everyone to see.

"Your lord and generals, please take a look. According to the messenger's account, in this season, Pillisian can only take two roads, divided into north and south, and the southern route is much longer; the northern route is much shorter. One of the footholds of this route is Hongyan Lake, forty miles southwest of here!"

Tuoba Jian walked to the map and looked at it, "How reliable do you think the messenger's explanation is?"

Yu Ji arched his hands and said: "The subordinates used three kinds of torture. The messenger couldn't stand the second one. After the third one, the messenger had completely collapsed. The subordinates believed that what he said should be true, and there would be no torture. Fake!"

"That's good!" Tuoba Jian immediately stood up, and was about to order the dispatch of scouts to expand the scope of scouting and get the army ready.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan, who is in charge of governance, walked in quickly and clasped his fists: "My lord, something is wrong. Most of the soldiers in the army have vomiting and abdominal pain, and many people have high fevers, and the high fevers don't subside!"

"What?" Tuoba Jian showed a dignified expression, and immediately asked: "Why did this happen? Have you checked, what caused it? How many people have similar symptoms?"

Jiang Yuan is in charge of military affairs and has been in charge of miscellaneous affairs in the military. He cupped his hands and replied, "Go back to the lord, we have investigated, but the specific cause is not clear, but some military doctors speculate that it may be caused by drinking unclean water or food! The Youwei Army, Huaishuo Army, Woye Army, and Xiaoqi Army all had similar situations, only the supply battalion of Zhao Dutong did not have a single case!"

Tuoba Jian felt the seriousness of the situation, he felt uneasy, and said loudly: "Go and call the military medical officer Gu Bingtang!"

Some soldiers outside the tent ran away immediately, and the military medical officer Gu Bingtang rushed over quickly, "I have seen the prince, I have seen the generals!"

Tuoba Jian waved his hand and asked: "Okay, there's no need to be polite! I want to ask you, many soldiers in the army have vomiting, abdominal pain, and some have high fever. What's going on? What's the reason?"

Gu Bingtang clasped his hands in worry and replied: "Return to the lord, the symptoms of the soldiers and generals are far more than what the lord said. According to the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, many people have already started to suffer from dehydration, dry throat, head pain and other symptoms. The next official sees it , this is... this is a disease!"

"what!"

The expression of Tuoba Jian and other generals and officials suddenly changed drastically when the word plague came out, and plague was a plague.

In this era, plagues occur from time to time, as recorded in medical records, plagues can occur all year round, and there are many types of plagues. Doctors who are not skilled enough in medicine can't tell the difference at all, often because they can't diagnose the plague. And it took so long that many people died.

The master Bo Yuji was the first to come back to his senses, and immediately asked: "Medical Officer Gu, are you sure you can cure this disease?"

Gu Bingtang cupped his hands and said: "The lower officials know several kinds of prescriptions to prevent and control the plague, but what kind of plague the soldiers got, the lower officials are still not sure. It will take time to observe; in addition, it will take time to treat the sick soldiers. Test the medicine to determine the final prescription and dosage of medicinal materials to carry out targeted treatment!"

At this time, Tuoba Jian also came back to his senses, "How long do you need?"

"This... can't be determined!" Gu Bingtang shook his head.

Tuoba Jian was greatly disappointed, and became even more worried. You must know that the plague is contagious. If the plague spreads on a large scale, these tens of thousands of horses are likely to be buried in Mobei.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, stood up and cupped his hands and said to Tuoba Jian: "My lord, as far as I know, no matter what kind of disease it is, it is actually caused by some tiny insects that we cannot see with the naked eye, and these are invisible to the naked eye. The tiny bugs are everywhere, and some need to be imported to cause infection. The disease that the soldiers got should be caused by drinking unclean water; there are also some that can spread through air, such as tuberculosis! No matter what kind, it can Spread from person to person!"

Seeing that he spoke so earnestly, Tuoba Jian asked with a glimmer of hope: "Then do you know how to diagnose and treat?"

"Back to the lord, the lowly position is not a doctor, and you have to rely on the medical officer Gu to cure the disease, but the subordinates have ways to prevent the epidemic from spreading!"

"Quickly tell me, is there any way to prevent the spread of the disease?" Gu Bingtang asked without waiting for Tuobajian to ask.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Collect all the patients who have been found, arrange them in a single camp and send soldiers to guard them strictly. They must be completely isolated from healthy soldiers. Except for military medical craftsmen, no one is allowed to Anyone touching them! This is number one!"

"Second, all the dishes, towels, gauze, clothing and footwear they have used should be boiled in boiling water and dried before being used again!"

"Thirdly, from now on, whether it is a sick person or a healthy soldier, all drinking water must be boiled before drinking. There are a large number of insects invisible to the naked eye in the water. This disease is likely to be caused by drinking unclean Caused by unboiled water! No case of illness has been found in the camp so far, and I think it is because the generals under my command drink boiled water all the time!"

"Fourth, after the patients are isolated, if the healthy soldiers find anyone with similar symptoms, they should be taken away immediately for isolation, and they should not be allowed to be with other healthy soldiers again to prevent re-infection! As for dispensing medicines for diagnosis and treatment, this is the business of medical officers, and humble positions can’t help.”

Tuobajian looked at Gu Bingtang: "Medical Officer Gu, what do you think of Zhao Dutong's suggestion?"
