The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 758 The Plague
After Menghe's death, Arslen Khan ordered people to disperse around according to Menghe's final arrangement, and sprinkled all the ponds he knew with the corpses of many soldiers who had died of illness for a long time.Then this led the whole family to migrate westward.

And along the way, all the water sources they passed were concocted by Ars Lenghan in the same way.

And Jia Ke, who was chasing Arslen Khan closely behind him, didn't know that the water source in front of him had been polluted, and he continued to chase westward day and night with tens of 10 horses.

Wanting to look at the horses in front of him has already been rewarded. It is said that Ars Lenghan led millions of troops and camped more than 200 miles ahead.

Jia Ke listened to the report of scouting the horse on the horse, with a smile on his face. These days, he led the army around the clock, and now he finally caught Ars Lenghan's tail.This time, he couldn't let this person escape easily.

That night, Jia Ke set up camp by a pond on a grassland as usual.The firehead soldiers began to fetch water to make a fire for cooking.

Soon the delicious food was delivered to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke didn't enjoy it alone either, and invited the generals from various ministries to drink there together and talk about how the grassland should reward everyone after returning this time.

While Jia Ke was thinking about the future, Sun Yan, who joined the army and participated in the military plane, hurried in.

Sun Yan came to the tent, looked at the generals, then waved to Li Deshan, and finally left the tent.

Li Deshan was a little strange seeing Sun Yan waving, but he still accused Jia Ke, and quietly exited the big tent from the side.

When Li Deshan came outside the big tent, he saw Sun Yan circling anxiously there.

Sun Yan was worrying there, when he saw Li Deshan coming out, he immediately took a step forward and took his hand to a secluded place.

"Hurry up and report to Your Majesty that there is a plague in our camp, and it is very serious. Please make plans early."

Li Deshan was scared out of his wits when he heard it. He had heard before that this plague was terminally ill, and it was spread to ten, ten to hundreds. If it is not controlled properly, everyone in the city will die.

So Li Deshan didn't dare to delay any longer, returned to the big tent, quickly came to Jia Ke's side, then leaned into Jia Ke's ear, and said softly: "Master Sun Yan came to report that there was a plague in the camp." , and it is very serious, please prepare early, Your Majesty."

As soon as Jia Ke heard this, the cup in her hand fell to the ground.

And the generals who were singing and drinking to their heart's content, saw this situation, all of a sudden became silent, looking at Jia Ke sitting in the middle, at a loss.

Because these generals have never received such a gaffe from Jia Ke since they followed Jia Ke.

Jia Ke was not in the mood to eat, drink and have fun here now, so he waved his hands to let the generals leave the central army tent.

After everyone left, Jia Ke hurriedly ordered Li Deshan to send Sun Yan into the tent to meet him.

Soon Sun Yan hurried into Jia Ke's tent.

As soon as Jia Ke saw Sun Yan coming, he immediately asked, "When was this plague discovered? Is it severe? What did the military doctor with the army say?"

Sun Yan said with a gloomy face: "The military doctors accompanying the army are also helpless against this plague, but the shaman of the Eight Banners learned that the source of these plagues is the nearby water source."

Jia Ke was startled when he heard this, and then his mind raced rapidly.

This time the plague was obviously man-made, and it seemed that it was Ars Lenghan's trick.

Jia Ke recalled what he had learned in his previous life. During the Han Dynasty on Earth, Emperor Wu of the Han made a northern expedition. The Huns at that time could not resist and moved westward. Finally, before leaving, he taught Emperor Wu of the Han a lesson. , They polluted the water sources along the way, making many soldiers of the Han Dynasty sick, and finally had to give up the pursuit, and even Huo Qubing, the most trusted general of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, died of the plague.

After Jia Ke thought about the cause and effect, she immediately felt guilty for a while. Although she said she had some skills, could she really stop the spread of the plague this time?
Seeing that Jia Ke had received his report, Sun Yan remained silent, and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Your Majesty, please clarify."

Jia Ke felt a little frustrated, what should she do now?We can only temporarily take some isolation measures in accordance with the modern epidemic prevention policies. As for whether these people can recover, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

"It is my order to arrange all the sick soldiers in a separate battalion, and all those who are found to be sick will be treated in this battalion, and they are not allowed to contact the outside world."

"What's more, all the clothes of these sick soldiers were burned, and all their excrement were dug and buried in deep pits."

"Starting today, all soldiers in the entire battalion must drink boiled water, and at the same time let the soldiers minimize the frequency of drinking water."

After Jia Ke finished giving these instructions, he sighed helplessly, and finally continued: "Now that the soldiers in the army are sick, I'm afraid they are powerless to pursue them. They can only lead the army back to the country. As for the Tatars, It can only be left to fend for itself.”

What Jia Ke meant was to give up this pursuit and let the Tatars survive.

After listening to Jia Ke's order, Sun Yan also nodded silently. This time, the army was sick. If they continued to pursue, more people would be sick. At that time, even if they caught up with the Tatars, they might not have the strength to fight.

Jia Ke was not in the mood anymore, and waved Sun Yan out to make arrangements, while he sat in the big tent and began to blame himself.

After all, he is a modern person, yet he was tricked by an ancient person, because Jia Ke already understood that Meng and that bastard must have come up with the plan this time.

Now Jia Ke has been cursing Meng He, this bastard, in his heart, so that he will die badly.

But he didn't know that Meng He had returned to the Western Lands now, and he had obeyed Jia Ke's words, so he really had a terrible death.

Jia Ke led the army to stop the pursuit, rested in the local area, and isolated all the sick soldiers.

Then order the military doctors accompanying the army to treat these soldiers as much as possible, but this plague is not so easy to control. More and more soldiers are infected, and Jia Ke has no choice.

Sun Yan saw that it was not an option to continue like this, so he quickly suggested to Jia Ke that these sick soldiers should be abandoned here, and Jia Ke and others immediately retreated south with the army.

If Jia Ke had just led the army to fight with compassion in his heart, he would never adopt Sun Yan's strategy, but as Jia Ke's status became higher and higher, his heart became harder than before.

Now Jia Ke accepted Sun Yan's proposal on the spot, and immediately ordered the army under his command to retreat southward. As for the sick soldiers, Jia Ke could only leave some food and supplies and let them fend for themselves here.

When Jia Ke came, it can be said that he was aggressive, but when he retreated, he was in a panic.

When Jia Ke led the cavalry and infantry to meet up there, more than 30 cavalrymen pursued them, and when they returned, they stopped at more than 20.

When Jia Ke saw this scene, regardless of the civil and military generals around him, she just lay on the ground and stamped her feet, beating her chest and crying bitterly.

Jia Ke thought that these soldiers who followed him in the South and North Wars did not die on the battlefield, but died in this trap set by the Tatars. He also blamed himself for his arrogance and ignorance, and underestimated these ancients, which caused today's disaster .

Seeing Jia Ke's sadness, the generals around hurried forward to persuade him.

Under the persuasion of the generals, Jia Ke slowly stopped crying. Although Jia Ke stopped crying, there was an expression of resentment in his eyes. He suddenly stood up with a fierce look in his eyes, and turned to the side Sun Yan ordered: "How many Tatars have been captured this time?"

Looking at Jia Ke's expression and his question, Sun Yan already understood what Jia Ke was going to do, but seeing Jia Ke's expression, he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only answer truthfully: "Report to Your Majesty, This time we went north and captured a total of 20 Tatars, old and weak."

After Jia Ke finished listening, he directly instructed Li Deshan beside him: "Pass down my order, dig a big hole, bury all these prisoners alive, and vent my anger for our dead soldiers."

Li Deshan got Jia Ke's order and immediately went out to deliver the order.

Among the civil and military generals around Jia Ke, except for Sun Yan, who was a little bit unbearable, the other generals didn't think Jia Ke had done anything too much.

That night, Jia Ke's soldiers dug several deep pits near the barracks, and then drove all the Tatar prisoners into the pits.

And when these prisoners first came out of the camp, they didn't know what was going on, but when they saw these deep pits, they already understood.

So these people fled around like crazy, but they were surrounded by Jia Ke's army, how could they escape.

So these people were either killed by Jia Ke's soldiers and thrown into the pit when they were fleeing, or they were driven into the pit by the soldiers with knives and guns.

As a result, the 20 Tatar captives were killed by Jia Ke overnight.

After Jia Ke killed these people, it was considered that he let out a breath of anger, but the matter has come to this point and there is no way to undo it.

In the end, Jia Ke could only rest on the spot, and then ordered Tan Ma to start patrolling the grassland, marking all the lakes where all the dead bodies were thrown.

The final result made Jia Ke feel relieved. Although Arslen Khan said that he released the virus along the way, they were only going northwest after all, and they didn't care so much about other places.

Except for the lakes in the northwest, the water sources are still clean in other places.

After Jia Ke investigated the actual situation again, he sent the Eight Banners tribe under his command to receive the inheritance left by the Tatars.

These vast grasslands in the north are not all directly controlled by the Tatars, there are also many weak and small ethnic groups, and these ethnic groups are all dependent on the Tatars.

Now that the Tatars have been driven away by Jia Ke, these tribes have begun to expand everywhere. How can Jia Ke agree.

So he sent his cavalry to sweep around, and let them continue to herd sheep in the same place for those who were sincere and obedient Jia Ke, and wiped out those rebellious Jia Ke.

In this way, Jia Ke spent nearly five months trying to appease the grassland.

When the weather became very cold, Jia Ke took the people back to the teacher.
