Chapter 134 Playing with Fire
Outside Liaokou City, a corpse burning kiln ignited flames, and corpses piled up in the kiln were gradually swallowed up by the fire. The people wearing masks closed the kiln door. After a while, a strange smell came from the kiln, and thick smoke rose from the top of the kiln, which looked like smoke from a distance.
This was a flash of thought that Yang Xuangan thought of the food he had just eaten. The scene in the furnace and the scene during the meal overlapped, which made him feel uncomfortable in his stomach.
Fortunately, Yang Xuangan has become accustomed to various bloody scenes and has seen many dead people with tragic deaths, so now he just has a stomach upset and will not even vomit.
But the smell was really bad. Yang Xuan moved his nose, looked at the burning kiln in front of him, and turned his head to look at the military officer who was rushing towards him.
The military affairs were busy, and he didn't have much time to waste here. He was about to explain some things to the military officer, but he saw a rash on his face and was instantly shocked and sweated coldly.
He wanted to scold the other party not to get close, but the person was already approaching. However, Yang Xuangan looked closely and found that the spots on the face were not rashes, but smoke.
Where does the ash come from?
Is this still necessary to ask?
Seeing that the military officer did not have rashes, Yang Xuangan breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to the other party’s report, he nodded: “You go and disinfect immediately, and then continue to observe the prisoners. Once anyone finds that there is rash, they must be isolated immediately!”
"As for the order!"
"Also, strengthen inspections. Once you find someone who doesn't drink boiled water, register your name immediately and you will be fined if you should!"
"As for the order!"
Yang Xuangan served several positions, one of which was to supervise the "burning of corpses". The burned corpses were all dead who died of illness due to plague, but these dead were all prisoners, and none of them were Zhou people.
The war in Liaodong lasted for several months. The Liaodong Road marched and attacked into defense. With the Liaokou City and surrounding fortresses and the invading Goguryeo, the Marine Alliance fought. Now the war is in a stalemate, but the Zhou army has a slightly advantage, so some prisoners can often be captured.
Once some of these prisoners have red rashes, they will be taken away and isolated. After the patient dies of illness and his clothes must be burned to prevent the disease from spreading.
After careful explanation, Yang Xuangan looked at the burning corpse kiln with thick smoke, turned around and horses, and slowly walked towards the city.
When marching and fighting, a large number of soldiers must be gathered in the barracks, with a dense population. Once someone gets sick, it is easy to spread to others. Then the epidemic spreads and finally the plague broke out.
A plague broke out in the army, and the consequences would be very serious. A brave and warlike warrior could not even hold the knife after getting sick, and finally died of illness. This was a serious loss. As a general, he must try his best to avoid this situation.
In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the army must choose places with clean water sources to camp, and dig cesspools in places that do not pollute the water sources, so as to accommodate the large amount of human and animal feces produced by the military camp every day.
Everything is to prevent a large number of soldiers from getting sick and avoid plagues in the military camp. Therefore, since ancient times, generals who know the soldiers have been unable to avoid plagues.
Everyone knows the truth, but now someone deliberately launches plague. As an eyewitness, Yang Xuangan felt frightened when he saw someone playing with fire.
He has been familiar with military books since he was a child. He has not seen any examples of polluting water sources that cause the enemy to become infected and defeated without fighting. However, now his own side is using the cruelty of the war, which makes Yang Xuangan, who is "his own people", feels chilling on his back.
It is also a plague. This time, our side did not pollute the water source, but directly deployed the "virus" - smallpox virus.
Smallpox, the ancient acne, has a high mortality rate. It was originally avoided by everyone, but it was used as a weapon to kill the enemy. It is said that this method is to burn yourself by playing with fire, but there is also a magical method of restraint that can protect the soldiers on your side without worries.
That's the method to eat acne.
Thinking of this, Yang Xuangan touched his nose. Before he went to the battle, he accepted "poxalemia" like others. The way to getpoxalemia was to use a reed tube to blow some kind of powder into the human nose.
After that, this person will have fever within a few days, and a small amount of rash (acne) appears on his body, and then the fever gradually subsides, and everything will be the same as before.
It is said that in this way, this person will have "immunity" and will no longer be infected with smallpox (acne).
Yang Xuangan did not believe this statement. If he had to choose, he really didn't want to "veget acne". However, the commander of the entire army and the prince Yuwen Weihan accepted "veget acne", so there was no reason for others to shirk it.
Weird tactics, mysterious "protective magic", after the entire army survived acne, they unscrupulously launched smallpox virus in Liaodong. All this made Yang Xuan feel unimaginable. He felt that the military books he read seemed outdated.
In the face of plague weapons, flesh and blood are hard to resist, and such a type of battle is not limited to Liaodong.
Yang Xuangan has begun to imagine what a "magnificent" situation would be when a smallpox plague broke out in the Turks.
So what if there are hundreds of thousands of string control men? In the face of the plague, horses, iron armor, and weapons are useless.
Plague broke out one tribe after another, and corpses were everywhere on the grassland, without a crowd of people and animals everywhere, just like hell on earth.
This scene may occur, but the premise is that "poxenic bacteria" is widely implemented in the border areas of the surrounding countries, so that the people and the army have immunity to smallpox, otherwise the plague will spread and more people will die in the Central Plains.
If this really happens, it is to play with fire and burn yourself.
Yang Xuangan rode his horse into the city. Looking at the lively scene around him, his worries gradually disappeared. The soldiers and civilians in the city all "grown" acne, and now they are all lively and do not look like they are infected.
The Marines threw clothes of the sick person into the river in the upper reaches of the Liaoshui River, trying to cause a plague outbreak in Liaokou City, but it seemed that they could not succeed.
Seeing that playing with fire seemed to not burn himself, Yang Xuangan's mind became active. In the past few days, he began to plan a new strategy based on the current situation.
Over the past period of time, according to the news that the writers had come back from searching for it, Yang Xuangan and other generals of Zhou army knew that a plague broke out between Goguryeo and the Marine people, and many people died. Then, as long as you wait patiently for a while, when the opponent's army almost collapsed without fighting, it was time to attack.
When the Liaodong Road marched, it did not carry a powerful cannon. Yang Xuangan originally thought that it was a bit troublesome to break through the strong cities in Goguryeo. Now it seems that with the weapon of plague, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He knew that the weather in Liaodong was fast cold, which means early cold. It usually starts to snow by late autumn. Now it is summer, and there is still a long time before it snows, which is enough to make one more happen.
Make more military achievements.
As he thought about it, Yang Xuangan was full of energy. Before he knew it, he came to the edge of the port area and looked at the masts like forests on the dock from afar.
Today, the southeast wind is strong, so many sea ships from the south are entering the port area. They are now slowly berthing, carrying a new batch of reinforcements to Liaokou Port.
These soldiers had already "vaccinated acne" and recovered before leaving, and became immune to smallpox.
