The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1804 The Plague
"The military camp is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to approach, or you will be responsible for the consequences!" When Zhao Xu finally entered the military camp, he was blocked by the people at the door. Zhao Xu forgot, this is the military camp, not ordinary people think You can get in.

"Get out of the way quickly, I'm going to delay my important business, I want your heads!" Zhao Xu directly took out a gold medal, and the gatekeeper immediately hid away in fright when he saw it. It was a token bestowed by the emperor. Who dares to stop him, Zhao Xu led Liu Qinhu and Dong Zhenhai all the way in, Zhao Xu didn't stop when he got off his horse and went straight into the commander's tent, and asked, "Where are the five hundred people brought back from the military camp just now?" ?”

Gao Huaide and the others also realized that they just felt that someone came in, but they didn't expect it to be Zhao Xu, but everyone was quite confused as to which song Zhao Xu was singing about, what five hundred people, what was he talking about? He even forgot to salute, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it, but Zhao Xu stopped him.

"Okay, what about Gao Qiong, where are the five hundred people he brought back now, what do you do with them?" Zhao Xu was very impatient, but he knew that the more impatient he was, the more useless it was, so he had better be careful. Otherwise it's all over.

"Oh, His Highness is asking about those 500 people. Now the army doctor is treating them, and they should be recovering soon. Is there anything urgent, Your Highness? Seeing you like this?"

Gao Huaide thought that something big had happened. It turned out that Zhao Xu was asking this. It's nothing. It's not appropriate for you to be a prince to treat ordinary people.

Except for Gao Huaide, the other generals were quite puzzled. When did Zhao Xu come here? Isn't he recuperating? Everyone has heard about these things. After all, no one in the court has many friends. Zhao Xu was stabbed, and It's serious, everyone knows it, how could this great god come here in the blink of an eye!
"Take me there, let everyone who has been in contact with these people be careful, isolate them, don't let anyone come into contact with them, hurry up, I hope nothing happens, otherwise we will lose a lot."

Although I didn't understand what Zhao Xu was talking about, seeing that Zhao Xu was in a hurry, he followed Zhao Xu's instructions. It was half an hour after he finished his work, and Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. .

"Your Highness, what's going on? Is there anything weird about those people? They had a very strange disease in their bodies when they were in the army. I don't know what it is?" Gao Huaide asked cautiously when the paragraph came to an end. Zhao Xu.

"There are no outsiders here, so let me just say it. Those hundreds of people are likely to be carrying the plague, so I kept them isolated. If it is false, then nothing will happen. If it is true, we The loss will be great, and we still don’t know who is designing us, but this person or this group of people is not usually vicious.”

Zhao Xu wouldn't say that to other generals, but Gao Huaide was currently deployed in the northern camp, especially his old father-in-law, so he could confess.

"What plague, how did they catch the plague? Aren't they rescued from some villains? How could there be a plague on them? What's going on?"

When the plague was mentioned, Gao Huaide was also stunned, what's going on, how did this happen, the plague, the plague is not an ordinary disease, it spreads quickly.

Generally, the plague will appear in the year of catastrophe. At that time, tens of thousands of people will die. This is incomparable. How can there be so many people carrying the plague all of a sudden? Gao Huaide is unbelievable.

"I can't control that much now. All the places where they lived just now are burned and buried. Those people are isolated and no one is allowed to approach them. Let's see the situation. If they find that there is a virus, they will all be killed. , can’t let them affect the entire barracks.”

Zhao Xu was very decisive. At this time, he didn't say anything about whether to kill or not. After all, Zhao Xu could tell clearly which was more important. However, Zhao Xu was still worried now. If nothing happened, it would be a false alarm. If something goes wrong, then it's really over.

Nothing happened all day, but some people started to fall ill at night. There was nothing at first, but slowly dozens of people appeared. At this time, Zhao Xu also knew that this was probably a plague. These people It really came with the plague.

When Zhao Xu woke up in the middle of the night, he was very panicked. He asked Gao Huaide to immediately order the news to be blocked. As long as they had a headache and fever, they would be locked up and isolated separately.

And let the doctor accompanying the army start to cook all kinds of bezoar detoxification soup for the soldiers in the army to take. After all, it is good to take precautions first, and then secretly asked the nearest county to send herbal medicine. Why secretly, yes In order to prevent the Khitan people from knowing.

The plague may not infect everyone, but this morale is also a major problem, so no one should know about it.

"Isn't Zhao Pu here? Why haven't I seen him? Has he gone to the front line now?" Zhao Xu thought of Zhao Pu. Where is Zhao Pu now? He hasn't seen him since he came here for a day.

"Master Zhao is now on the front line of Gubeikou, and it will take a few days before he comes back. Otherwise, we will notify him that you are here?" For inspection, he went to the front line of Gubei the day before yesterday. After the inspection, he should return to Bianjing.

"Okay, don't worry about him, and don't let him know what's going on here. Martial law must be enforced, and the nearby government must keep it secret. Recruit the doctor to the army to control the plague. I hope it won't cause any major losses. Our little one I saw this plague."

When Zhao Xu was worried, it finally happened. For a while, the entire military camp was in a tense atmosphere. There were often dead people. Hundreds of people died in one night. Compared with the tens of thousands of troops, these few Hundreds of people are nothing, but the sense of fear brought about has really lowered morale. As long as the dead people are burned, they will not be allowed to become a secondary source of transmission.

But that's how it is. People are still infected with the plague every day. Although they won't die immediately, they are still weak and sick. If someone comes to sneak attack at this time, the entire army camp will be unable to resist. This is exactly what they are afraid of .
