A thousand people?
Liu Zheng was startled.
Qingyang Shuo's face turned ashen. This man, who had always been in trouble but never changed his expression, also felt a sudden change in his heart.
Because he knows that the plague is so terrible!
At this time, there were already a thousand people! If we no longer control it, all 90,000 Yinzhou soldiers may suffer!
"this……"
"Why is there malaria?"
Qingyang Shuo asked.
Liu Zheng shook his head. In this desert, what is there? Various animal bones, human bones, viruses that breed after decay, as well as this place where no one has set foot, as well as various bugs, birds, and even viruses that you have never seen in this place.
Whatever happens, it won't be surprising.
Moreover, the incubation period of malaria is also about ten days.
It seems that something went wrong with these people when they were in the Western Region.
He immediately ordered the entire army to set up camp and repair on the spot.
"Isolated?"
Liu Zheng asked Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan nodded and said: "I found out today, so I will separate the thousands of people into a single team and march behind."
People of this era actually have some experience with plagues. So as soon as he found out, Jiang Xuan isolated these one thousand people.
Malaria, this is no joke. Even in later generations, humans do not dare to take malaria lightly. Liu Zheng immediately ordered Jiang Xuan to lead his Dark Night Team to closely monitor and isolate the camp of 1,000 people, and set up a cordon.
Then he ordered Qin Changfeng to conduct various investigations on other people who had contact with him.
If you have fever, chills, or profuse sweating, you must pay close attention.
The 90,000 Yinzhou soldiers suddenly felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Regarding malaria, Liu Zheng did not hide anything. Because he knew that the more he concealed it at this time, the bigger the problem would be. It was better to let the soldiers cooperate with the investigation.
Liu Zheng made some thick masks by himself, and then followed Jiang Xuan and the military doctors accompanying the army to the isolation point for 1,000 people.
"Ouch, ouch..."
"It's so cold, I'm so cold..."
"Am I about to die..."
When Liu Zheng came here, he frowned heavily. Throughout the camp, everyone had different symptoms, and some military doctors were busy treating them. I just discovered that some people have entered the chilling period! In other words, this is falciparum malaria! It is the most dangerous and lethal form of malaria.
For falciparum malaria, the clinical manifestations of patients are extremely severe, and the chills stage is relatively not too obvious. But the febrile phase can last from thirty-six to forty-eight hours.
malaria.
Since ancient times, there has been a period of high incidence around the desert.
At a glance, many people were already pale, their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably, and their lips were cyanotic. Some people had already started to have high fever, body aches, and shortness of breath.
In severe cases, convulsions, headaches, nausea and vomiting have begun.
Anyway.
The whole camp was miserable.
Liu Zheng's heart sank when he saw it.
"Son..."
At this time, the military medical officer came over and whispered: "Sir, the situation is very serious, these people must be abandoned!"
Liu Zheng frowned: "What did you say?"
Qingyang Shuo also came over and sighed: "Master, it must be like this, otherwise, the other 89,000 Yinzhou soldiers will not be able to protect themselves!"
at this time.
Outside the cordon, many Yinzhou soldiers also came. When they heard this, they also shouted.
"Sir, these people are terrible!"
"Sir, we need to leave quickly!"
"Sir, you must not be indecisive!"
Although these people saw their brother troops suffering, they had no choice but to suggest this. After all, who doesn’t want to live?
The thousand people who were isolated cried bitterly when they heard this. However, what makes Liu Zheng even more uncomfortable is that there are still people who support Liu Zheng to abandon them and let them fend for themselves.
Because they also know that they have malaria, which is destined by God. If God allows them to die, they must not infect others or harm others.
"Sir, don't come here!"
"Master... let's go quickly, take the brothers with you!"
"We, we, don't worry about us..."
Although these people were feeling uncomfortable, their consciousness was still clear. The desperate looks in their eyes made Liu Zheng feel pain in his heart. He walked in without hesitation and choked with sobs: "Let me see..."
A group of people were unwilling to let him get close.
"Master, leave quickly. If possible, help me take care of my wife and children!"
"Sir, in the next life, we will serve as soldiers for you!"
"Yes, it's a pleasure to be your soldier!"
The scene was touching and made people cry.
They knew their chances of survival were slim. So I suggested that we simply leave them some living supplies and let them continue to stay here and let nature take their fate.
Qingyang Shuo also slowly closed his eyes.
People in this era have no way to deal with malaria. You can only find a way to stop the loss.
The military doctors were helpless and their eyes were red.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "We are not leaving. Since I, Liu Zheng, brought the soldiers, I, Liu Zheng, must take them back!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Master!"
"Sir, you must not do this!"
A group of people advised.
At this time, even Liu Dahao and Qingyang Shuo did not agree with Liu Zheng's approach.
But Liu Zheng was very stubborn and shook his head and said: "Brothers all contributed to the conquest of the Western Regions. If we did not die in the Western Regions, then I, Liu Zheng, will not let you die in a foreign country!"
As soon as these words came out.
Those who had malaria were very moved.
One of the older men knelt on the ground with a bang and cried bitterly: "Sir, you must not let a small thing cost you a big thing! Take your brothers back and take care of our wives and children..."
"Otherwise, what will happen to my wife and children at home?"
A group of people cried together.
An atmosphere of despair began to spread. Some people even took out swords and put them on their necks, threatening Liu Zheng that if he did not take away the other Yinzhou soldiers, a thousand of them would kill themselves on the spot.
despair!
Tragic!
At this moment, even the Yinzhou soldiers outside the cordon burst into tears.
"Sir, let's go..."
Qingyang Shuo also wiped away tears.
Liu Zheng shook his head: "No! I have a way. Don't give up hope of living. Listen to me. Don't give up hope. Brothers, put down your swords! Brothers, listen to me, okay?"
A group of people were stunned.
There is a way?
What can you do?
This is malaria!
Someone smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, we know that you have great powers, but this malaria is really not a joke."
"Sir, stop talking..."
Liu Zheng shook his head: "If you still think of me as your young master, then trust me again! Put down the sword!"
With that said, a group of people slowly put down their swords.
Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Qingyang Shuo: "Sir, be sure to appease the brothers and come back as soon as you let me go!"
Qingyang Shuo was stunned: "No, Master... this is malaria."
Liu Zheng said resolutely: "I said there is a way, there is a way! Jiang Xuan, take a hundred people and follow me!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
Even the military medical officer didn't believe what Liu Zheng said this time.
This terrible malaria has devoured so many lives since ancient times. No one can do anything about it. They can only survive with tenacious vitality. But you say you have something?
But they were not allowed to say anything.
Liu Zheng and Jiang Xuan had already led their men and rode away from here.
