~Date: ~October 13th~

After a hurry inspection of the shelter camp, Xiangzhuang issued several emergency military orders in succession as soon as he returned to the tent.

First, the Mengfu cavalry was immediately recalled. Xiang Zhuang was not sure if the Mengfu cavalry had been infected with the epidemic, but he would never dare to take risks. If the Mengfu cavalry had been infected with the epidemic, then the pursuit of the eastward would be very likely to spread the epidemic to the entire Nanjun, Hengshanjun, Jiujiangjun and even the entire Jiangdong.

If this is the case, it will be a catastrophe for Chu State!

Second, the command of Zhonglimei's navy to strictly block the Wujiang River and strictly prevent the Lutai cavalry from crossing the Wujiang River and entering Jiangdong. Xiangzhuang must. If the Lutai cavalry has also been infected with the epidemic, and once they are allowed to rush into Jiangdong, the Han army will not have to conquer cities and land, nor even use weapons, which will be enough to destroy the Jiangdong foundation of Chu.

Third, the Jiangji naval army was ordered to block the Mianshui River and Baishui immediately. Everyone was allowed to cross the Mianshui River. Baishui went west, but not cross the Mianshui River and went east, so as to control the epidemic to the Mianshui River, west of Baishui River and north of the Jiangshui River as much as possible, and block Yiling Road at the same time to prevent the epidemic from spreading to the two counties of Bashu.

Fourth, the army immediately set up camp near Deng County, and each army and battalion were stationed separately. Except for the grain transport team and the guard troops on the task, everyone was allowed to enter and not leave. Once the patient was found, they were sent to the shelter camp for isolation treatment. If the epidemic was found in the nearby counties, townships and pavilions, they would immediately send troops to block and quarantine!

Fifth, dig a mountain to get (quicklime), and implement comprehensive disinfection of the military camp. People and animals are not allowed to drink raw water or eat raw and cold food. Those who are not sick must mask their faces with wet cloth wipes, and the bodies of people and animals who die of illness are cremated immediately!

Sixth, immediately recruit doctors from various counties, and then urgently ask the Qin family and other red-topped merchants to purchase Chinese herbal medicines!

After placing the order as quickly as possible, Xiang Zhuang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat back on the table with regret. Why did he get infected with the flu? Of course, Xiang Zhuang was just suspicious for the time being. After all, he was not a doctor and could not be sure that the current epidemic was influenza. Perhaps it was a much more dangerous disease than influenza.

Bi Shu sighed lightly and said, "This plague is really a bad time."

Bishu, Xiang Tuo, Huan Chu and others sighed at each other. If it weren't for this sudden plague, the Chu army would have come to Xianyang City in half a month. The Han army was newly defeated. What would it take to resist the Chu army? If that were the case, the demise of the Han country would be a foregone conclusion, but now everything has turned into a bubble.

It is not yet known how much casualties the sudden plague will cause in the Chu army, but because of this delay, the Han Kingdom will have enough time to accumulate troops again. Then, it will be possible to use Wuguan, Hanguguan, and Hanzhong as barriers to do their best to prevent and defend. It will not be easy for the Chu army to attack Guanzhong again.

Xiang Zhuang hesitated for a long time and asked Baili Xian: "Ziliang, do you want to recall the cavalry and the Tianlang army?"

Xiang Zhuang was hesitant about whether to recall the cavalry and the two pursuers of Tianlang. If the two pursuers were recalled, Liu Bang would inevitably be let go, which would be letting the tiger go back to the mountain. But if the pursuit continued, it might cause the epidemic to spread to the entire Central Plains. This was a catastrophe for the entire Huaxia race, which was something Xiang Zhuang didn't want to see.

"Recalling the cavalry and the two armies of the Sky Wolf?" Baili Xian shook his head, "I'm afraid there is no need to do this again."

"Is this a waste of time?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and said in confusion, "Ziliang, what do you mean?"

Bailixian asked back without answering, "King, don't you think this plague is a bit strange?"

"Strange?!" Xiang Zhuang's heart sterned and said in a deep voice, "Are you saying... this plague is man-made?"

"I dare to assert that this plague is man-made, and I also know that it must have been planned by Chen Ping, because Zhang Liang is a humble gentleman and will never come up with such a vicious and vicious plan!" Baili Xian's words were not without basis. Both the Chu and Han armies had to pay attention to the treatment of corpses. If it were not man-made, where did the plague come from?

"Chen Ping?" A cold and stern look suddenly appeared in Xiang Zhuang's eyes.

Baili Xian said again: "The plague is a double-edged sword. While killing our army, the Han army is afraid it will be difficult to escape. Therefore, even if the cavalry and the Tianlang army are recalled, the defeated Han army will still bring the epidemic to the Central Plains. On the contrary, if the cavalry, the Tianlang Army can intercept them, or it can also save the Central Plains from the charcoal of life!"

Xiang Zhuang suddenly stood up, paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and then turned back and instructed Xiang Tuo: "Zi Yan, immediately condemn the flying cavalry, Hu Yan, Meng Yuan and Meng Liao, the three generals, must catch up with the defeated Han army at all costs. It is best to capture the Han monarch and ministers alive, especially Chen Ping, I have to kill this beast with my own hands!"

"Here!" Xiang Tuo responded with a loud bang, turned around and left.

"Quick, dig!"

"Dig deeper!"

"It's not enough, deeper!"

In the sparse woods, Chen Ping held a torch in his hand and was commanding more than a dozen Han soldiers to dig deep pits. There were dozens of corpses on the edge of the pit. The bodies were wrapped tightly in linen cloth, and a large amount of quicklime was sprinkled on the corpses.

A moment later, a deep pit about meter deep was finally dug. Chen Ping directed the soldiers to carry the corpse beside the pit into the deep pit. While the Han army was carrying the corpse, Chen Ping quietly stepped back more than ten steps. After the dozen Han army carried the corpse and were about to return to the soil to fill it, a burst of arrows suddenly shot up. Before the dozen Han soldiers could react, they were shot and killed on the spot.

Then dozens of other soldiers wrapped tightly out of the woods. They first used branches to push more than a dozen Han soldiers into the pit, then threw dozens of bundles of dry firewood into the deep pit, then threw down the torch, and the fire started to burn. Then the dozens of soldiers took off the linen wrapped around them and threw them into the fire pit.

Chen Ping also took off his face, wrapped in a wet linen cloth, and threw it into the fire pit.

After doing all this, Chen Ping breathed a long sigh and then returned to the camp with a serious expression.

In recent days, Chen Ping has dealt with dozens of wounded soldiers. He knows the terrible plague. Therefore, as long as he finds something wrong, even if it is just suspected, he will kill him without hesitation. For example, the dozen Han soldiers who were responsible for digging the pit just now only sneezes.

But even so, Chen Ping dared not feel completely relieved.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Chen Ping heard a shocking news that Zhang Liang fell ill!

He hurried to the hut where Zhang Liang was staying, and happened to see Liu Bang bent down and about to drill into the hut. Chen Ping was very anxious and immediately reached out to stop him, "Your Majesty, wait!"

Liu Bang turned around and saw that it was Chen Ping. He said, "Chen Ping, you are here just in time. Aren't you proficient in medical skills? Hurry up and take a look for the ovary." After that, Liu Bang was going to drill into the hut again, muttering softly, "It's so strange. Didn't the ovary be fine last night? Why did he fall ill after being sick?"

"King, let me talk." Chen Ping took the lead two steps and grabbed Liu Bang.

Then, Chen Ping pulled Liu Bang to a secluded place and said this. Liu Bang's eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open. After a long time, he ate and said, "Chen Ping, you you..."

Chen Ping sighed and said sadly: "King, I am doing this for the sake of the Han Dynasty. Think about it, if you don't make this bad decision, what will you do to stop the Chu army? Once the Chu army comes to Xianyang City, it will be over! Although there is some price to pay now, the national veins of the Han Dynasty can eventually continue."

"What about the ovary?" Liu Bangqiang calmed down, "What should I do if the ovary is?"

Chen Ping sighed: "The military advisor is afraid he can't follow him, so let him stay here."

Liu Bang's face changed again and again, and after a while, he said, "I want to say goodbye to him."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "But the king must do what he said, and it cannot be too long, otherwise I will not guarantee whether the king will be infected."

After a while, Liu Bang, who was tightly wrapped around, walked into the thatched hut where Zhang Liang lived, accompanied by Chen Ping, who was also tightly wrapped.

There was only a stone in the thatched hut, and a layer of wheat straw was laid on it. Zhang Liang lay on it. Although Liu Bang and Chen Ping covered their faces with wet wipes, Zhang Liang still recognized it. He wanted to struggle to sit up and greet him, but he only struggled half of it and fell back dejectedly. Liu Bang instinctively wanted to reach out to support him, but was stopped by Chen Ping.

"King, our army is probably already infected with the plague." Zhang Liang sighed and glanced at Chen Ping again.

Although Zhang Liang didn't say it, he had long guessed in his heart that this plague must have been planned by Chen Ping. However, the plague has already broken out. Now it is meaningless to complain and hold the responsibility accountable. At this point, how to prevent the spread of the epidemic as much as possible is the fundamental thing. It is impossible to let the entire Huaxia tribe suffer a catastrophe.

"I know." Liu Bang said with a frown, "Zifang, you..."

Zhang Liang shook his hand and interrupted Liu Bang, "King, you don't have to say anything. Don't forget that I am also familiar with medical skills and know how terrible the plague is. King, I only need to take the people of the world as your mind and control the spread of the epidemic as much as possible. Don't let the entire Central Plains have a charcoal of spiritual charcoal!"

"Don't worry, I know, I will definitely do it." Liu Bang nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Liang said to Chen Ping again: "Chen Ping, don't make this bad move in the future, it's too harmful to the heavens!"

"Don't worry, military advisor, I will not make such a bad decision in the future." Chen Ping also responded timidly.

Zhang Liang's eyes turned to Liu Bang again and said with a smile: "King, since ancient times, Bolangsha met Qin, and it has been thirty and three years since then. He has been able to serve the king in his life. Fortunately, today, our king and ministers have ended their fate. When we are leaving, I hope the king will not forget to leave a torch for his ministers, haha."

"Zifang..." Liu Bang was so sad that he burst into tears.

But in the end, Liu Bang was pulled out of the hut by Chen Ping. Before leaving, Chen Ping took a torch from his own hands and inserted it into the ground of the hut. Liu Bang didn't go far. When he looked back, he saw that the hut had fallen into the sea of ​​fire... (,.
