Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy.

Even if Chibi was blocked, he was full of confidence. But after half a month of stationing troops, Cao Cao's aura of being as angry as a tiger had dissipated a lot, and replaced by deep worries in his pupils and dark circles!

Under his dull gaze, the officers reporting felt a chill on their backs.

But he couldn't refuse to report it because the matter was too serious!

"The Li tribe was infected with the anger yesterday, and there were 780 deaths. The Xiahou tribe infected with the anger two thousand, and the 800 deaths. The Xu tribe…"

"Enough!"

It is said that the casualty rate borne by the cold weapon troops in ancient times was one tenth, but once it exceeded this ratio, it would collapse. However, the army was stationed in Wulin for more than a month and the war was not fought. Just this epidemic, his army of more than 100,000 had already gone to one pavilion in ten pavilions!

How can it not be shocking?

And it’s not just Cao Cao himself, but the entire Cao family group looked worried. Feudal and feudal, now the ones who die of illness are their own corpses! Besides, God knows that when the mysterious ones are infected, they will get sick?

After thinking about it over and over again, although he gradually turned to the left with General Cao's ambition, Xun Yu and Xun Lingzhong, who were still important in the Yecheng lineup, couldn't help but stand up and hesitate to Cao Cao on behalf of everyone.

"Prime Minister, now the epidemic is on the rise! The morale of the army is in chaos! Although our army is large, there are many soldiers in the north and are not familiar with water wars. If you continue to fight here, it may be more harmful. For the sake of the minister, it is better to lead troops back to Xiangyang and digest Jingbei. When the epidemic is retired next year, you will retreat one million troops and break through the south of the Yangtze River. This is the safest way! I hope the Prime Minister will make a decision!"

"Prime Minister, Xun Lingzhong is the opinion of planning the country!"

After all, Xun Yu was still popular. Behind him, Chen Qun, Mao Jie and others also nodded and praised him.

But now, Cao Cao is fifty-four years old, no longer Cao Aman, who held a sword to break the thief, unknowingly, he has lived up to his spirits. Moreover, his suspicion is indeed pertinent, but seeing the advice of his advisers, he still couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Military orders are like a mountain! Now, it is a million powerful troops who are fighting against the unjust officials, but now it is in front of this small Wulin, the blue-eyed man, and the only 50,000 thieves. He turned around and fled without a single arrow. Wouldn't he increase the morale of Sun Liu'er and destroy the prestige of my great Han?"

Xun Yu couldn't help but get stuck there. After all, he has been Cao Cao's chief adviser for decades, and sometimes the two of them even feel like an old friend. He knows Cao A too well! He said this, the issue of withdrawing troops is basically impossible! With a sigh, Xun Yu immediately looked at Jia Xu.

"Jia Shizhong! The army is in great epidemic, but the Qingzhou department you supervised cannot afford to have an epidemic. How dare you ask Shizhong what are the wonderful ways to prevent the epidemic?"

Does Jia Xu have a solution?

Of course, there is, after all, his lord Wang Hou also survived the situation from the Chronicle and Qin and Sang. Moreover, he cooperated with Yu Ji, who is good at medicine, and Qingzhou still has a way of epidemic prevention and hygiene!

The plague that broke out in Cao's army has actually been rampant in the Central Plains for many years! In later generations, it should be called typhus!

This thing is not the same as the typhoid cold. Instead, it is somewhat similar to the plague, and is roughly the same as the Black Death that kills half of the Western population. They are all caused by mice as pathogen carriers, and then bite the mice's lice, fleas and other blood-sucking insects, carrying pathogens, and then fly to people, cross-infection.

This disease may even be comparable to the Black Death disease. After all, the population of 50 million in the late Han Dynasty was 20 million. By the time of the Three Kingdoms, there were only 5 million households and 20 million people left in the world. Within a few decades, more than 30 million people were wiped out by war alone. It was a bit exaggerated and incredible.

Moreover, the seven sons of Jian'an, all five died in Jian'an in the 22nd year of Jian'an. In the 22nd year of Jian'an, the most scarier record of the historian is the popularity of qi!

There is also the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty, which was published almost during this period.

However, this disease is not unsolvable. Compared with the Middle East respiratory syndrome in later generations, and the certain crown, the way it spreads is simply a pediatric department! That is to maintain hygiene!

Just like in the West, the time when the Black Death gradually disappeared was gradually declined with the Pope's power, light industry quietly emerged, and soap was invented. People followed the Pope's instructions in the past and only took a bath once in a lifetime, using the filth of the body to keep the soul pure and turned to taking a bath frequently, ventilation, and not having a cold during the flu season.

The channels of infection were eliminated, and the Black Death naturally dissipated.

Therefore, the Qingzhou army is also very simple. They added two military supplies, including mugwort leaves and sulfur imported from Japan, and smoked clothes to deworm them. Then they organized a bath when they were free of charge. The hygiene was well maintained, so this kind of hostility could not be found.

These Wang Hou also wrote about pacifying Wu Ce!

But these were torn by Jia Xu and threw them into the sea outside the island city!

As always as usual, his face was full of surprise. After thinking for a moment, Jia Xu slapped his thigh and said as if he suddenly realized.

"Prime Minister, before leaving the army, our military advisor received the blessing of the Eternal Fire Church in the Island City, and the first lord of the church, who gave him the talisman water to drink after worshiping the Golden Crow God! It should be the blessing of the black god, and it has broken the evil here!"

"Prime Minister, otherwise my subordinates will send someone back to the island city to ask for Fushui?"

Looking at Jia Xu's excited look, both Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others couldn't help but show disappointment. Cao Cao shook his head solemnly.

"No need!"

Which of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty did not start their own business by suppressing the Yellow Turbans? None of them caught a cold for Taoism, whether it was Cao Cao or Xun Yu. Besides, even if you don’t consider the influence of the new Eternal Fire Way Cultivation, this place is thousands of miles away from Qingzhou, separated by mountains and rivers. When Jia Xu gasped and asked Fu Shui back, the bones of the army would be cold.

"People who are infected with the disease should be strictly isolated, and the sick will be burned immediately! Don't spread the anger again! Go down!"

"The last emperor obeys the order!"

…………

The cruelty of warlords in this era also showed a vivid look at this moment. As the order was issued, black smoke suddenly soared into the sky! In front of the Han people who were most concerned about being buried, the bodies were burned to ashes and mixed together.

Not only those who died of illness, but some soldiers who were not dead and were unable to move were also thrown into the fire by the commanders of the main camps of each camp. Looking at the flames swallowing the twitching human bodies, the soldiers of the Cao army all showed fear on their faces.

The northern army, which had originally had a rainbow of morale, began to descend little by little like an avalanche.

In the southeast corner of the military camp, the Rizhao Brigade Camp of Qingzhou Army.

After writing a secret letter, he personally sealed it in a wax ball and stuffed it on the pigeon's leg ring. Then Jia Xu solemnly released a flock of pigeons from the cage, with feathers falling in the ground, watching them flap their wings to the north.

Just as the loud cooing sound of the pigeons was rising, the Rizhao Brigade's brigade led Zhu Ling to come over with full armor, knelt on one knee, and saluted Jia Xu heavily.

"Don't drive!"

"The sulfur and mugwort accumulated by our army were sent to the Zhongjun Ba Mansion in 70%!"

"Don't do it! Our army is not enough, so what's the use of the soldiers?"

When he heard this, Zhu Ling's old face suddenly blew. He was just a mess under Cao Cao's hands, so he defected to Wang Hou. Wang Hou has treated him like a direct lineage over the years. At this critical moment, he was just like killing him.

But looking at him angrily distinguishing, Jia Xu still looked cold and said coldly.

"Do you want the Prime Minister to refuse what he asked? Do you want the Prime Minister to complain to the General Zhenbei?"

Zhu Ling was dumbfounded by a stern question. After a long time, he clasped his fists and replied heavily, then he breathed heavily and turned around and left.

Mr. Cao didn't know whether he was resentful to Wang Housheng. At this moment, Zhu Ling hated Cao Cao so much that his teeth itched! But watching his back, Jia Xu's mouth inexplicably hooked a cold smile!
