From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 106: Plague Strikes Again
At Yuhuang Town, Zhuge Liang arrived here at full speed with Chen Qun and several personal soldiers.

The entire town has been blocked by Zhong Hui, and the people have been ordered to stay at home and not go out.

Such restrictions are the only solution, otherwise the spread of the plague will become even more severe.

But if the plague is not resolved, the productivity of the people will decline infinitely, and the entire Yuhuang Town will become a burden.

"General."

Zhong Hui was the first to greet Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang nodded and asked Zhong Hui, "What's the situation now?"

Zhong Hui said: "More than 300 people have been infected, almost half of the civilians have been infected, but the military is still okay."

"Well, I'll go take a look."

There had been a plague in Daming Town before. Zhuge Liang had already reached intermediate level of medical skills and was able to cure the disease quickly.

I guess it shouldn't be a big problem this time.

However, when Zhuge Liang went to treat the disease, he found that this plague was even more serious than the last time, and intermediate medical skills were no longer able to treat the current plague.

Chen Qun looked at the dire situation and said to Zhuge Liang, "General, seal off this place temporarily. If there are any dead bodies, burn them all with lime to prevent the plague from spreading further."

"During this period, Yuhuang Town must stop working, and Dameng Town must continue to send food to help the people here."

After a moment of silence, Chen Qun continued, "Our territory is constantly expanding, and the people in other towns are watching. Any action we take will be spread out. If we abandon the people here..."

Chen Qun was afraid that Zhuge Liang would think that the people of Yuhuang Town were a burden, so he finally chose to give up ruthlessly.

So many people are unable to work and produce, and they still need Daming Town to continuously supply them with food. Moreover, this plague can basically not be cured, and in the end, it is likely that these people will die.

This is a deal that is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it, and that is why Chen Qun pointed out the interests involved.

If we abandon the people of Yuhuang Town, rumors will inevitably spread in other places. There is no wall that is impenetrable. Even if we block the news, it will most likely leak out in the end.

In order to be on the safe side, Chen Quncai suggested that Daming Town should continue to supply food. This should be the best solution at the moment.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Chen Qun and said, "That's not necessary."

"General... we must not abandon the people here!"

Zhuge Liang said suspiciously: "Who said I'm giving up? If they are sick, just cure them."

what?
Cured? Who cured?
Zhong Hui said to Chen Qun, "Sir, you may not know this, but our general is a doctor."

When Pan Feng was seriously injured, it was Zhuge Liang who cured him.

Chen Qun: “…”

A military commander actually knows medicine? And this is a plague, how can it be so easy to treat.

"You guys maintain order here first, I'll go and get ready."

After saying this, Zhuge Liang left in Chen Qun's surprised eyes.

……

Fortunately, he still had 119 skill points left unused, so Zhuge Liang chose to allocate 100 skill points to intermediate medical skills.

After upgrading his advanced medical skills, Zhuge Liang came to Yuhuang Town again to treat the villagers.

The treatment went very smoothly this time. Although the condition has not improved so quickly, the plague has been brought under control. Chen Qun said blankly, "Is it all right now?"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Well, that's it."

But they are no different from before. Chen Qun looked at Zhuge Liang with suspicion.

Zhuge Liang said to Zhong Hui, "The plague has been cured. Lift the restrictions. In two days, the people should be better and everything will be back to normal."

Zhong Hui clasped his fists and said, “Yes!”

No... Chen Qun was dumbfounded. One dared to say it, and the other actually believed it.

Chen Qun watched the whole process, but he clearly saw that Zhuge Liang did nothing. Yet... Zhong Hui actually believed that Zhuge Liang cured the people of the plague.

Zhuge Liang said to the dazed Chen Qun, "Sir, let's go back."

"Ah? General, you really don't want to ask a doctor to take a look?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "They can't do it. They can't cure the plague."

"I'll teach them some medical skills when I get back. It's not a good idea to always rely on me."

Chen Qun: “…”

He was really confused. What on earth was going on? Seeing Zhuge Liang speak so calmly, it didn't seem like he was lying.

But this is a plague after all!
Also, what do you mean you should go back and teach the doctors medical skills? In today's chaotic world, doctors are talents that all lords and masters are fighting for, and they are more precious than generals and counselors.

After winning a war, the first thing to do is to plunder the enemy's talents. Even the most brutal lord would think twice before encountering a doctor when he is massacring a city!
Because there will always be people who get sick in your territory, it goes without saying how important the role a doctor can play.

How come such a rare talent seems so common in Zhuge Liang's mouth? Why does he even want to train several doctors himself?
Chen Qun was really confused.

After returning to Dameng Town, Zhang Zhao, Guo Tu, and Ning Mengya hurried to greet Zhuge Liang and asked with concern: "General Zhuge, how is it?"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it has been cured."

It was just that Zhuge Liang felt a little sad that he had wasted 100 skill points on medical skills, but there was nothing else important.

Zhang Zhao, Guo Tu and Ning Mengya breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhao said: "General, I have a suggestion. There are several doctors in Dameng Town now. You might as well tell them some treatments for plague, colds and other diseases. If such a thing happens in the future, you can directly let the doctors treat it."

"If these doctors learn the general's skills, they can be sent to various towns and cities so that they can be looked after in the future."

"Not only that, in the future, when soldiers from all over the country are injured, they will still need medical treatment."

Zhuge Liang hummed and said, "That's what I plan to do. I'll go summon the doctors first and teach them all the medical skills."

After saying this, Zhuge Liang left with his hands behind his back.

Just as Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu were about to leave, Chen Qun hurriedly stopped them and said, "Gentlemen... No, does General Zhuge really know medical skills?"

"Is there anything strange?" Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu were puzzled.

Chen Qun said, "That's the plague! I saw the people infected with the plague in Yuhuang Town. The plague is very serious... I'm not questioning the general, it's just... the general did almost nothing, just prescribed some medicine and asked the soldiers to get the medicine... and it was cured?"

Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu still looked at Chen Qun in confusion and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

No... Do you think this is normal?

Why does Chen Qun always feel that these people seem to be so calm about the plague? There was a plague in Xianhe Town before... and half of the people died. There was no cure at all. Why do you think the plague is such a serious matter, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to you?
