Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 633 The Rain Continues, Dilemma
Yuzhou, Yingchuan.

Liu Yu, who came from Chang'an, led [-] soldiers and brought Cao Ning and Nan Jiyun to this place.

In Yingchuan, General Dorgon under Yuan Shu's command led An Lushan and Chen Ji to lead [-] troops to station here.

What kind of sparks will Liu Jinu, who "swallows thousands of miles like a tiger", have with Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, will be revealed soon.

Liu Yu doesn't know much about Dorgon, an unknown person, but this doesn't mean that he will take Dorgon lightly.

The so-called "know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without peril." On the way of marching, Liu Yu sent a large number of scouts to inquire about intelligence and collect relevant information about Dorgon.

It's a pity that Liu Yu's intelligence system has limited capabilities and did not bring him back much valuable information.

Neither side made a rash move, one attacked and the other defended, and the situation fell into a short-lived peace.

……

As of this time, Yuan Shu's five-way army was destroyed, and the entire Yanzhou and Xuzhou counties were all captured, leaving only Dorgon, Yu Hualong, and Zhang Xun's three-way army to support them.

Fortunately, Liu Jin offered a plan to buy Liangshan's soldiers and horses, otherwise, under Sun Jian's reckless offensive, Hefei would have been broken by the Jiangdong Army long ago!

In the following time, none of the forces launched an attack, because it was the rainy season, and the rainy weather was really not suitable for attacking the city.

Even so, Yuan Shu was furious. Although Yuan Shu didn't achieve the effect of "the emperor lays down millions of corpses in one rage", the young and strong in all counties and counties of Yuzhou suffered disaster when Yuan Shu got angry.

Crowds of Yuan Jun soldiers broke into the homes of the common people, forcibly conscripted the young and strong into the army, and at the same time robbed the money and food from the common people's homes.

The people in Yuzhou complained a lot about Yuan Shu's atrocities, but they were unable to resist. This is undoubtedly a great tragedy.

The rainy weather for several consecutive days caused many soldiers in the coalition army to suffer from physical problems, and the disease spread rapidly like a plague, and the number of sick people was increasing.

Most of Yuan Jun's soldiers were defending the city, so there were not many people who fell ill.

The soldiers under Lu Bu's command are also fine. After all, Ji County Medical College has trained many military followers one after another over the years. With their treatment, the plague did not cause too much impact.

"What's the situation with the soldiers? An anxious Sun Jian asked an old doctor.

"My lord, this old man thinks that the soldiers must be unaccustomed to the soil and water, and have been invaded by the moisture in the mountains. Moreover, this old man has discovered that some of our army's food and grass have been soaked in rainwater and become moldy. Presumably, the soldiers' illnesses have something to do with the food and grass. "The old doctor replied.

This doctor is an old man with gray hair, he is Sun Jian's special doctor, and he has the best medical skills in Jiangdong Army.

"Is there a cure?" Sun Jian frowned.

Sun Jian had been in the army for many years. He knew that it was normal for food and grass to become moldy in this weather, so he didn't blame the quartermaster. The top priority was to control the disease and treat it.

"If you want to control the disease, firstly, you can't let the soldiers eat moldy food and grass, and secondly, you need to prescribe the decoction and give them to the sick soldiers. I hope this will be effective." The old doctor thought about it. want to say.

"What do you mean by that, what do you mean by 'hoping to have some effect'?" Sun Jian asked with his eyes wide open.

"My lord, please be considerate! What the soldiers are suffering from is not ordinary diarrhea. This kind of illness has never been seen before, and..." the old man said hesitantly.

"And what?" Sun Jian asked.

"If the old man's guess is right, once the disease cannot be controlled, a catastrophic epidemic will break out soon. The old man is not skilled in medicine, so he can only do his best." The old doctor said with a sad face.

"What? Pandemic? This is troublesome!" Sun Jian was sinking after hearing this.

Cheng Pu, who was beside Sun Jian, couldn't help but change his face. In this era when colds and colds can kill people, the epidemic is no joke!

Sun Jian, with a look of embarrassment on his face, suddenly thought of something. Fortunately, he was in his camp now, otherwise the news would spread and morale would drop.

"Go down and try your best to heal the soldiers first. If someone asks you, you know what to say?" Sun Jian sneered.

Sun Jian understood that relying on the old man's medical skills might not be able to prevent the disease from spreading, so Sun Jian didn't embarrass him anymore, but warned him not to reveal the truth.

"Please don't worry, my lord. The old man only said that the diarrhea caused by the wind-cold infection of the soldiers can be cured by prescribing some medicines to dispel the cold and stop the diarrhea." The old man vowed.

"That's good, you have been with me for many years, if you talk too much about something you shouldn't say, you know the consequences!" Sun Jian said with narrowed eyes.

"No!" The old doctor said hastily.

The old doctor also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly retreated and got busy according to Sun Jian's instructions.

After the old Langzhong left, the worried Sun Jian left the tent, the sky was still foggy and rainy, Cheng Pu immediately went forward with his rain gear to cover Sun Jian from the rain.

"No need, this little rain is not in the way." Sun Jian shook his head and pushed Cheng Pu's rain gear away with his hands.

"My lord! My lord!" At this moment, the old man turned back again.

"What's the matter? Forget it, let me go back to the account and talk." Sun Jian said.

The three of Sun Jian returned to the big tent, and the old doctor said, "My lord, Rongzhi, after I left, I suddenly remembered something. The soldiers of the Youzhou Army are very skilled. They are all students taught by Ji County Medical College. You can Borrow a few to help with the treatment, otherwise, even if you find a cure, the old man will not be able to treat so many sick soldiers."

Sun Jian was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "I know about this, you go down first."

"No! I will retire!" The old man saluted and left.

"It seems that this time, I owe another great favor." Sun Jian sighed.

Cheng Pu didn't speak after hearing this. He was not in a position to comment on such things, no matter how good his relationship with Sun Jian was.

Cheng Pu had also heard about Sun Jian and Lu Bu's previous affairs. In the early years, Lu Bu first saved Sun Jian's life, and then took Sun Ce as his apprentice, teaching Sun Ce martial arts.

Although Sun Jian also returned gifts to Lu Bu every time, Sun Jian never paid back Lu Bu's favor.

Naturally, Sun Jian's ideal and revenge will not be in a corner of peace, but now the most promising person to win the world is Lu Bu. If this continues, Sun Jian will meet Lu Bu with swordsmen sooner or later.

Even so, the most difficult choice was not Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's son and Lu Bu's apprentice Sun Ce.

Sun Jian also understood that he was not Lu Bu's opponent, but he was unwilling to give up just like this. His situation could only be described as a "dilemma".

For the people of Jiangdong, for Sun Ce, in fact, Sun Jian should give up fighting for hegemony;

But now there is such an opportunity in front of him, he gave up without even trying, Sun Jian is really unwilling.

"I'm going to edit a letter right now. You go to Yanzhou and hand it over to Qin Qiong, a general under Lu Bu's command." After a long time, Sun Jian said bitterly.

"No!" Cheng Pu cupped his hands.

　The second watch arrives!
