Go back to ancient times to be God of War

A word rang in my ears like a thunderbolt.

"What exactly happened? Where are Suo Tianzong and Lin Lesheng? Is the camp sealed off?" Qi Yang immediately got off his horse and entered the city.

The little soldier named Lu Hou understood quite clearly, although his words were not very sharp, he almost made it clear in a confusing manner.

It turned out that after Qi Yang went to the capital, the defense battalions of the two governments merged into one. Although Suo Tianzong was young, he did things safely, and the military affairs were handed over soon.

Unexpectedly, when everything was on the right track, strange things suddenly appeared in the firearms battalion. The soldiers in the army began to suffer from strange diseases one after another, and some died within a day!

Suo Tianzong's family has been in the army for generations, and they are not so uninformed. When they saw this, they immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately gathered all the patients in the same area of ​​the camp and sealed off them for treatment. Unfortunately, it was too late. This is weird. The strange disease spread in the Huoqi camp at an unimaginable speed, and the cause could not be found out, let alone how to prevent it.The plague shrouded the entire firearms battalion like a ghost, like a murderer who came and went without a trace, rapidly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Great Xia.

It didn't take long for rumors to spread in Licheng, and someone even swore that it was because the Huoqi Battalion's continuous artillery fire hurt the peace of the sky, and God sent disasters to punish the soldiers of the Huoqi Battalion.Otherwise, why did the disease spread only in the barracks, while the nearby Licheng, which is more densely populated, was unscathed?

These messages made the people of Licheng even more panic-stricken, and every household began to close their doors. Some extreme people even ran to the front of the government office to beat drums and demanded that the firearms camp be closed to prevent the epidemic from spreading.

"General Suo was worried that the epidemic would spread to Licheng, so he took the initiative to seal the gate of the camp. The situation in the camp is very bad now. Dozens and hundreds of soldiers die of the disease every day. General Suo stayed in the camp to preside over the overall situation. I asked for leave because of something at home, and I am not in the camp at the moment. The magistrate has sent a batch of medicinal materials and doctors into the camp. I don’t know anything else... I just heard General Suo tell me that if the general comes back, don’t wait. It’s dangerous to enter the camp.”

Lu Hou said sadly, his face was full of sorrow.

Qi Yang nodded to show that he understood, and his brows were furrowed. According to Lu Hou, the prefect of Changshan had already notified the capital of the relevant epidemic situation as quickly as possible, but the large-scale outbreak of the epidemic was only a matter of these days, and the messenger probably missed him on the way.

Trying to calm down for a moment, he hurriedly turned away after leaving a word: "I'm going to see the magistrate right away."

Sanwa and Dalang looked at each other the same way, followed closely behind, and rushed to the center of Licheng at full speed.

**

In the mansion, Dong Ling, the prefect of Changshan, was pacing anxiously, pulling his gray beard vigorously, with a broken face.

"My lord, there is another news from the firearms camp today." A yamen servant hastily entered the door with a bamboo basket hanging from a hemp rope, and there was a letter in the basket.

Dong Ling snatched the letter paper, and couldn't wait to read it.

"...This disease is not trivial. The source cannot be confirmed. It is like wind and cold, but the patient has no symptoms of runny nose. There are many dead, more than [-]. The corpses are piled up like a mountain, and there is no time to bury them..."

Dong Ling cursed in a low voice, shook the letter paper vigorously, the thin paper fell to the ground, and began to pull the gray beard on his chin again: "Why is it so unlucky that I will be in office for three years, but I have to touch it?" On this kind of thing..."

Sitting under the hall was a thin and capable middle-aged man, who was Dong Ling's subordinate, Yu Heze, the general judge of Changshan Prefecture.

Seeing this, Yu Heze turned his small bean-like eyes around: "What can my lord do now?"

"A way?! What can I do?!" Dong Ling was furious: "It's been so many days, and I can't even find out what kind of strange disease it is!"

"My lord, according to the subordinates, we should continue to suffer from the chaos. Anyway, the gate of the firearms camp has been closed. It happens that there are no important generals in the camp. It is better to move the people around the camp and close the camp gate..."

Yu Heze looked around and saw that there was no outsider, so he narrowed his eyes and made a downward beheading motion with one hand.

"Yu Tongpan! Do you know what you're talking about?!" Dong Ling was so shocked that his eyes widened and his beard curled up: "Those are all soldiers of our Great Xia!"

Yu Heze made a calm gesture, lowered his voice, and said, "But don't you have a better way now, sir? If this drags on, all the non-commissioned officers in the battalion will be killed or injured. What's the difference?" At that time, we should not treat these dead officers and soldiers badly, give them the title of dying for the country, and take good care of the families of the dead soldiers. After all, it is better than hanging up and down like this, and even the epidemic spread to Licheng! The people in the city are no better than marching and fighting The soldiers are so strong and strong, once they get sick, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Cold sweat broke out on Dong Ling's forehead. He has always been a mediocre official, relying on his slippery ability to stand in line. The attack on the mountain mansion has already caused him a lot of trouble, not to mention the urgent situation now, but he is used to being a fool in everything, so he still can't make up his mind for a while, with hesitation in his eyes, he struggled to death: " For such a big matter, why not discuss it after Xie Tongzhi comes back?"

"Tsk." Yu Heze looked down on his limp and cowardly appearance, but there was no trace on his face, and he still seemed to be a loyal subordinate with all his heart and soul: "Master Dong, the head of this mansion is you , not Xie Tongzhi!"

These words hit Dong Ling's deep pain. Ever since Xie Tingchun came to the Changshan Mansion, he has never been able to suppress Xie Tingchun by comparing his background, wrists, and age. The respondent who knows has long been unwilling.

Yu Heze saw that Dong Ling's face was finally shaken, and he simply threw out the last straw that broke the camel's back: "My lord, there is another reason, that is, if you don't do this thing, you have to do it before Xiaoqi." Before the general and Xie Tongzhi came back, the Firearms Camp was the treasure of these two people, and they counted on it to make achievements, how could they give up at will, and we will be the ones who will suffer!"

Hearing what Yu Heze said, Dong Ling's face turned red for a while, then paled for a while, and he raised his hand a few times but put it down again. Just when the two villains in his heart were fighting wildly, a yamen servant suddenly rushed in at the door.

"Report-"

The yamen servant panted and shouted: "General Qi Yang of the Firearms Battalion, please see me!"

"what?!"

Dong Ling shuddered in fright, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Yu Heze. Both of them saw an unconcealable shock in each other's eyes.

Why did General Xiaoqi come back so soon?Didn't it mean that according to the plan, he would stay in the capital for four or five days?

However, the reality didn't have time for them to think too much. As soon as the yamen servants finished reporting, they saw a tall figure striding into the room.

He is dressed in mountain armor, his handsome face is tight, and he walks in a hurry, but he is Qi Yang!

"My lords!" Qi Yang cupped his hands and gave a hasty salute: "Excuse me for the lateness, how about the current situation of the patients in the firearms camp? What is the death toll? How many medicinal herbs have been dispatched?"

According to his official rank, Dong Ling was originally his upper peak, but at this moment, Qi Yang looked aggressive, and Dong Ling was already afraid because of the vacillation just now, so he didn't care about going up to the peak at the moment. He quickly explained the specific situation to Qi Yang briefly.

The information on Dong Ling's side is much more detailed than that of the soldier Lu Hou. The disease is really strange. According to Dong Ling, just a few nights ago, two soldiers suddenly gave birth to a small scrofula between their limbs. Then he felt dizzy, couldn't eat or drink, and within an hour, he developed a high fever. After the military doctor came to see him, he only said that he had a cold. Unexpectedly, within one night, the two soldiers died He died, and even the doctor who came to see the doctor developed a high fever!

Later, more and more soldiers also had a fever, and the death rate became faster and faster. There was a sergeant who rode the same horse with his comrades. When they got on the horse, they were both in good condition. A large piece of light-colored blood like watermelon water was sprayed on the chest of the robe, and he was already dead.

Hearing this, Qi Yang couldn't help squinting his eyes, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

High fever, dizziness, lack of thinking about food and drink, vomiting blood like watermelon water, rapid onset, no cure for medicine stone...

This doesn't sound like a common disease in the Great Xia Dynasty, but it's a bit like... the Black Death that he had heard in "Epped", which reduced the population of the entire continent by a full [-]%!

However, the "Epped" did not mention how to diagnose and treat the Black Death——

Thinking of this, Qi Yang couldn't help being so angry that he slapped the table next to him fiercely. He was in a state of anxiety, and he didn't have the strength to handle it, so he even smashed a wooden table into several pieces on the spot.

"Whoa-"

The wooden block fell to the ground, and the debris flew. Dong Ling's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his whole body trembled in fright: "...Little General Qi...what are you doing..."

"My lord Dong, this matter is not trivial. There is a possibility that the plague has broken out in the army. Please pay a lot of money to recruit doctors from the government to come to the camp for diagnosis and treatment." After finishing speaking, he frowned and thought carefully about what he saw on "Ai Paide" In the picture, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he took Dong Ling's pen and paper, and drew two things on the rice paper.

Dong Ling looked up and saw that it was a rectangle with a rope at each of the four corners, about the size of a palm, and a palm-shaped thing on the other side.

"What is this?" Dong Ling frowned, having never seen such a strange thing before.

"These two things, one is a mask and the other is gloves. My lord, please quickly let the Xiulou in the city make these two items out of gauze. The more the better, and sending them to the camp can barely resist some illness." Qi Yang put down his pen and said seriously. Dao, turned around and nodded with the two soldiers behind him: "Dalang, Sanwa, you two don't go back to the camp, stay and assist Master Dong."

Sanwa foolishly replied yes.

Zhu Dalang has a lot more eyes, nodding his head while secretly flirting with Qi Yang.

Qi Yang was very relieved to see that he was transparent, and silently mouthed a few words: "Look at Yu Heze."

Zhu Dalang made a "OK" gesture calmly.

There is an eyebrow-raising lawsuit here, but Dong Ling over there feels a little uncomfortable. The Qi Yang in front of him is younger than his son, and he is only a fifth-rank military officer, but he is so domineering to him, as it should be...

Really, why do you let me do it and I have to do it?

Qi Yang noticed his gaze, turned his face and smiled at him, stretched out his hand and crushed another corner of the stool, and raised his hand, the sawdust fell on the ground like rain.

Dong Ling: ... Well, I'll do it.

After arranging everything, Qi Yang ignored Yu Heze, whose expression was fluctuating, and turned around to get on his horse: "Thank you, my lords, I will go back to the camp to have a look."

"and many more!"

Yu Heze, who was still huddling aside and pretending that he didn't exist, suddenly spoke out, earnestly persuading: "Little General Qi, the epidemic is raging in the camp at this time, a gentleman should not stand under the dangerous wall, let's command outside! General Suo is in the camp. It is enough to control the overall situation from within.”

Qi Yang frowned slightly, his expression turned cold, and he turned around to stare at Yu Heze.

That gaze was too sharp and clear, as if it could penetrate to the bottom of his heart, turning out all the filthy things that were shameful, and spread them out in front of him, making it look like it was there.

"Yu Tongpan, Changshan Mansion is located in the western region, and the Rong and Yi kingdoms have already sharpened their swords. If there is no defenders, no matter how many things are around us, they will be gone." Qi Yang suddenly spoke, and said with a loud voice: "That's all I said. Do it yourself."

**

On the outskirts of Licheng, Firearms Camp.

It was already afternoon, and in the past, the camp grounds would have been full of soldiers shouting and practicing, but now it was dead silent, exuding an ominous atmosphere.

"About another 100 people died in the afternoon." Suo Tianzong's baby face was slumped and his eyes were black and black. It looked like he hadn't slept well for many days: "The speed has slowed down a little, but I still can't control it. It is confirmed that there are nearly a thousand people who are sick, and they are all resting in the southern camp, and the doctor who was sent is also there, but the number is too small, and it seems to be of no use."

After the report was over, Suo Tianzong pouted, looking unhappy: "I told you not to come back. Look how honest Lin Lesheng is. I asked him to stay outside, so he stayed outside obediently."

Qi Yang patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Suo Tianzong snorted a little arrogantly: "If you can't beat you, the last general must at least have some other advantages."

"Where are the corpses piled up?" Qi Yang frowned, and asked two irrelevant questions: "Is the gunpowder from the firearms workshop still there?"

"The corpse is in Xiying, and two teams were arranged to take turns to bury it. The workshop has not been able to start work for the past two days, and they are all saved."

Suo Tian rubbed his face, and replied a little puzzled.

"Okay. Very good." Qi Yang nodded, and said concisely: "Tian Zong, let's do two things right now. One is to send a team of firecrackers to get the gunpowder and set them off in every corner of the camp. The other , and lead a team of soldiers to dig out the buried corpses, and burn them all together with the things used by the soldiers who died of illness."

Suo Tianzong couldn't believe his ears: "Burning the corpse?!"

Daxia Chaolai has followed the principle that the dead are the greatest, even if he died of illness, he still pays attention to burying himself in the soil, which is almost the most fundamental ethical principle, but now Qi Yang said... to burn the corpse?

"Yes." Qi Yang's expression remained calm: "The sooner the better, the plague is mainly spread by insects, ants, snakes and rats, and only burning can completely solve the problem."

"No!" Suo Tianzong was startled, and retorted subconsciously: "You will be criticized by thousands of people!"

No matter how many great achievements there are, once the burning of the body gets out, Qi Yang will have to face not only the accusations and hatred from the family members of the deceased, but also the impeachment from the officials and the accusation from the Holy Majesty!

"Tian Zong, this is a military order." Qi Yang strode towards the barracks without turning his head, "When the time comes... I will fully bear any consequences."

Suo Tian was left standing in place, and after a while he chopped off his foot depressedly, and left angrily.

"A military order is a military order. Could it be that the last general is that cowardly man!"

**

A few days later, Changshan Mansion, Licheng.

The bustling street in the past was sparsely populated, and Geng Ersao, who lived in Xiaohe Lane, was bending over to open the courtyard door, trying to pour a bucket of dirty water onto the street.

"There isn't even a shadow of a ghost." She mumbled as she poured water and looked around: "It's scary."

Xiaohe Lane was lifeless, only the opposite door had white flags hanging at the door, and from time to time, low sobs overflowed from the closed wooden door, full of sorrow and sorrow, adding a bit of gloom to the alley.

"Oh, I'm so pitiful." Geng's second sister-in-law looked at the Li family next door sympathetically, and heard that the son of the Li family was a corporal leader in the firearms camp. Everyone in the alley was very envious. , I thought it would be a glorious job to be able to fight with the great hero, General Xiaoqi, but I didn’t expect that the good times would not last long, and the Li family’s eldest son fell ill and died. When the news came back, the Li family’s eldest sister passed out crying on the spot, and the door has been closed these days If you don't come out, you will wash your face with tears every day, which is really sad for those who hear it.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Second Wife Geng followed suit for a while, and was about to turn around and enter the house, but suddenly heard a loud noise, which made her let go of her hand in fright, and the wooden barrel rolled to the ground with a rumbling sound.

"Ouch, I'm scared to death!"

She picked up the wooden barrel in horror and looked around on tiptoe. The sound came from the direction of the Western Suburb Firearms Camp. Before she could react, there was another burst of intensive "bang bang" gunfire , In the west of the city, there was intense fire and smoke rising into the sky, which was extremely terrifying.

Geng Ersao didn't care about watching the excitement anymore, so she rushed into the gate of her house and locked it.

The sound of gunfire lasted for nearly an hour, and the strong smell of sulfur gradually drifted over, filling the entire Licheng. Just as Geng's second wife was hiding in the yard and coughing, there was a knock on the door of her house. A rough male voice yelled outside the door:

"Did you see it? It seems that the firearm camp is on fire."

Burned?

Geng's second sister-in-law panicked, and rushed over to open the door, and sure enough, she saw the well-known Know-it-all on the street knocking on doors from door to door.

"Yaoshou! General Xiaoqi is in a daze, and he is burning corpses in the camp, and all of them must be burned! Poor, not even the whole corpse is left!"

Before Pepsi's call was heard, the door of Li's house next door, which had been closed for several days, swung open, and a fat elder sister with red and swollen eyes rushed out, grabbed Pepsi by the neck, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What are you talking about?" real?!"

The eldest sister of the Li family's son fell ill and died in Daying. She had hoped to bring back her son's body after the plague passed and let him be buried in the ground. Now that I hear such news, how can I not be anxious?

"It's absolutely true, I just came back from the western suburbs, and I saw it with my own eyes!" Knowles quickly raised his fingers and swore.

"My son!"

When Sister Li heard this, she burst into a wailing instantly, probably because she had shed too many tears these days, and the corners of her eyes had dried up, so she could only collapse on the ground and burst into sobs.

"Ah Hua, get up quickly." Seeing Sister Li crying like this, Second Aunt Geng was both anxious and angry: "Stop crying! How can General Xiaoqi be so disregarding human relations? Let's go, let's go to the Firearms Camp to ask for an explanation." !"

The words "ask for an explanation" fell into her ears, and Sister Li suddenly woke up like a dream, wiped her tears and murmured: "Yes... I'll go ask for an explanation...my son can't just die like this..."

"Yes, let's ask for an explanation!"

"It's really tragic, it's a big treason—"

There are more and more people watching, and the residents in the alleys around Xiaohe Lane poked their heads out one after another. In some families, their father and brother died of illness, and they all joined Sister Li's team, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate , Go straight to the Longxi Firearms Battalion!

**

"It's not good, General! Suddenly, many people rushed up from the gate, four to five hundred people, and rushed into the gate of the camp. What should we do now?"

A soldier wearing a snow-white mask with anxious eyes ran over to report to Qi Yanghui.

"What?" Suo Tianzong had a baby face the size of a palm, almost completely covered by the mask, struggling to squeeze out his eyes: "Why are they making trouble?"

Xiao Bing choked up for a moment, and after a while, he glanced nervously at Qi Yang, lowered his voice, and said, "For some reason, the news about the burning of the body got out, and now there are survivors outside the door, and they want to ask for an explanation."

The school yard where the corpses were to be burned was facing the gate of the camp, and it was the largest flat land in the entire firearms camp. Now a hill-like pile of corpses had piled up on the flat ground, and several soldiers wearing masks were carrying vegetable oil out.

"Boom-thump-"

A heavy impact came from the door, and the outermost gate of the camp was knocked open. A group of ordinary people rushed out of the fence in a daze. The first thing they saw was the pile of corpses on the school grounds, as well as those on both sides. A soldier with a torch.

"My son!" Sister Li burst out into a weeping cry.

The ordinary people who could hardly accept such a scene turned red instantly, and shook the solid wooden fence like crazy. This fence is the strongest barrier of the camp, several times stronger than the outer door panels. Even so, they began to move dangerously. There was a creaking sound, and the soldiers blocking the door did not dare to make a move, fearing that they would accidentally injure the people. At this moment, they were really devastated and miserable.

"Tian Zong, let the soldiers stop it." Qi Yang narrowed his eyes, and said ruthlessly.

"Yes!" Suo Tianzong obeyed immediately, and shouted at the soldiers on one side, and several rows of soldiers rushed forward to block the civilians.

At the same time, Qi Yang strode to the door and shouted loudly with his internal strength: "Fellow folks! Burning corpses is a helpless act. The corpses of infected dead will continue to spread disease, and only burning can completely eliminate it. Please Everyone, stay away quickly, so as not to get sick!"

But how can the angry people listen to it?

"Dead without a whole body, why did my son die so badly!"

"General Xiao Qi, we all misunderstood you! I didn't expect you to be such a cruel thug!"

The angry accusations came like sharp knives, and Suo Tian even felt a little unbearable even listening to those slanderous words, let alone Qi Yang at the center of the storm?

He tugged on the huge mask anxiously, and looked in Qi Yang's direction.

The man was dressed in military uniform, and his back looked a bit bleak.

However, in the blink of an eye, those bleak airs disappeared, and Qi Yang turned around resolutely, as if he couldn't hear the accusations all over the sky, and said firmly: "Splash!"

The strong smell of sulfur is suddenly mixed with the smoky smell of rapeseed oil.

"Qi Yang, what should we do?" Seeing this, Suo Tianzong stepped forward worriedly: "Should we forcibly drag them away?"

These people must not stay at the gate of Daying. They are already weak, and it is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen when they are emotional, not to mention the large amount of sickness produced by the burning of the corpses!

But... today, Qi Yang's reputation will be completely ruined by forcibly driving away these common people.

"Procrastinate." Qi Yang said without hesitation: "Be careful when you strike, don't hurt the innocent."

Suo Tianzong clenched his lips: "...Yes."

But when the order came, he still hesitated, opened and closed his lips several times, but just couldn't say those few words.

Seeing this, Qi Yang simply stepped forward and cleared his throat: "The whole team obeys orders—"

Before he finished speaking, a horse neighing interrupted him suddenly.

"The Holy Majesty's special medical team is here, and the idlers wait to get out of the way!"——

A clear male voice sounded outside the gate of the camp, accompanied by the sound of hurried hooves and grunting wheels.

The extremely familiar voice made Qi Yang stunned on the spot. He raised his head in disbelief, and saw the emotionally agitated people at the gate of Daying, who were stunned after hearing the words "Holy Majesty" and "Emperor Physician". , and subconsciously retreated to the two sides, making way for a passage.Across a wooden fence, a handsome young man in a blue official robe galloped forward on a white horse, followed by several carriages. After the carriage stopped, a dozen old gentlemen with medicine boxes in their arms came out from inside. , with extraordinary bearing, and some of them are wearing official uniforms.

"Emperor Physician..." Bai Shitong, who was following in the crowd, rubbed his eyes in disbelief: "Oh my god, is this the doctor who treated the emperor...?"

The fear of the imperial power deeply buried in the bones and blood prompted the people to hold their breath one by one.

However, at this moment, Qi Yang could no longer see those imperial physicians and ordinary people. In his sight, everything turned into a gray and blurred background, only the young man who rolled over on a white horse was the only distinct existence.

The man walked quickly to the fence. The official uniform, which was always neat and tidy in the past, now had several folds, the bun was a little crooked, and there was even a little blue stubble on his dusty cheeks.

Across the wooden fence, Xie Tingchun's dark eyes poured out the deep emotion for the first time without any concealment. He opened his mouth, as if thousands of words were condensed on the tip of his tongue. After a long pause, he just spoke five words softly. words.

"Brother, I'm coming."
