Chapter 1218 The Source of Plague

Suiying said, "Yes, that's what I heard, but why do I smell a conspiracy in his words?"

Sha Guanghan drew the sword from his waist again and said, "This man has been in my military camp for eight days. Half of the people in my military camp have been infected with the plague, even the emperor has not been spared. Yan Shizhao, this is not your fault, is it?"

"General Sha, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Whether you get the plague or not has nothing to do with me."

"Don't be so quick to quibble. Either you caused the plague, or you know some hidden secret. Come here! Tie up Yan Shizhao and torture him. Anyone who causes trouble in our military camp will be killed!" Sha Guanghan gave an order, and two strong soldiers came up and held Yan Shizhao, dragging him out.

Yan Shizhao kicked his legs and cursed: "Wan Lianxing, as a king of a country, you actually allowed your subordinates to be accomplices of the evil. I, Yan Shizhao, came here and not only did I not get any justice, but you also tortured me to extract a confession. Wan Lianxing, you are a hypocritical hypocrite who pretends to be righteous every day..."

Wan Lianxing was so overwhelmed by his scolding that he shouted, "Let Yan Shizhao go."

Sha Guanghan said: "Your Majesty, there is a conspiracy here."

"This man pointed at my nose and cursed me. How could such an upright person have any conspiracy? Let him go."

"emperor!"

"Okay, let him go. Do you think he didn't scold me badly enough, or do you think I'm not annoying enough?"

Yan Shizhao said: "If you really want to let me go, then let me leave the barracks."

"There are many reasons why I cannot let you leave, but I will not let anyone embarrass you. However, you must explain the suspicious words you just said. Do you know where this plague came from?"

Yan Shizhao thought for a moment and said, "In order to save more innocent lives, I can sue you. The water source here has been tampered with, so even if you divide the barracks into two, you can't escape the fate of being infected with the plague. I can guarantee that the people in the city have also been infected with the plague."

"Why are you so sure, sir? Do you know who did this?"

Yan Shizhao said: "As for who did it, it seems not difficult to guess! Who hates you the most? It must be the Great Lang Kingdom! You conquered cities and defeated them step by step. They must have used strategies in a weak position. In order to save the first seven cities of Chaizhou, the only hope is to wait for reinforcements to appear soon. But before the reinforcements appear, the best way is to weaken your military strength. How to weaken you without moving a single soldier..."

Suiying interrupted, "Poisoning?"

Yan Shizhao glared at Suiying and continued, "There are many kinds of poison, but we drink river water here, not well water. Besides, your military camp is heavily guarded, so even if there is arsenic, there is no chance to attack! So nothing is as effective as the plague. As long as one of you is infected with the plague, it will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon everyone will be infected with the plague. When everyone has herpes, the risk of death will be greatly increased. Within five days, your military force will collapse. If you collapse, how can you attack them? They just need to wait for the opportunity to counterattack you to recapture Chaizhou in one fell swoop and attack Fengqi directly. By then, the winners and losers can be imagined."

Sha Guanghan quickly asked the people around him: "Have the people sent to the city replied? How are the people doing?"

At this time, Sha Guanghan's eldest son Sha Yueteng came and said, "Your Majesty, report to the general that some people in the city have also been infected with the plague. However, all the herbs in the pharmacies in the city have long been looted by Ji Yuanqiang and his men, and the people have no medicine to treat them."

Wan Lianxing couldn't sit still when he heard this: "Lao Sha, how many medicinal herbs are there in the barracks?"

Sha Guanghan said: "Your Majesty, the amount of herbs stored in our barracks is about three months' worth."

Wan Lianxing said: "We should allocate some of the herbs and send them to the city so that the people who need them can pick them up."

"Yes!"

Wan Lianxing added: "Also, order people to close the city gates and send people to check all water sources."

"Your Majesty, the water in the city's wells is easy to deal with, but the key is how to deal with our river water?"

Wan Lianxing looked at Yan Shizhao and said, "Mr. Yan, what do you think?"

Yan Shizhao was a doctor, and the only thing he had was a kind heart. He took it as his duty to cure illnesses and save lives, and he didn't want to see more deaths. After thinking for a while, he said to Wan Lianxing: "I guess you should send someone to check the upper reaches of the river. There must be a problem. In addition, I also guess that the enemy will not counterattack you at this time, so you can rest assured."

Wan Lianxing asked: "Why do you say that? Please enlighten me, Mr. Yan."

Yan Shizhao said: "It can spread the plague. I think some of them must have been infected with the plague."

"You mean they also have the plague at this time?"

Yan Shizhao said: "I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I have never heard of a poison called plague. If I am correct, this plague was raised by them in the Ninth City."

Wan Lianxing asked: "How to raise it?"

"People will die in wars, and plagues are inevitable if too many people die. If it is hot and rainy, and the bodies are not buried deep, but left in the stinking ditch for a while, they will naturally stink and rot, and a large number of flies and maggots will eat the bodies, and plagues will soon occur. If they want to infect you with the plague as quickly as possible, they can throw the bodies upstream of the river. In this way, even if the bodies are not thrown into the well one by one, the people in the whole city will gradually be infected with the plague. I think they used this method to deal with you. After you attacked the tenth city of Chaizhou, you took advantage of the victory and attacked the ninth city. Not only did you not reflect on why the ninth city was captured so smoothly, but you also held a celebration banquet. What's even more funny is that you didn't even check the water source carefully wherever you went."

All this was Yan Shizhao's guess, he was just telling a story, but everyone doubted that the story was true, and his guesses were all correct. So Sha Guanghan immediately sent people to check the upper reaches of the river.

Wan Lianxing also knew that he was too optimistic after winning two battles. Yan Shizhao was right to mock him because they underestimated the enemy.

Sha Guanghan walked around the big tent with a dark face, muttering angrily: "After fighting so many battles, I was actually tricked by someone using the plague."

Yan Shizhao said: "You also used snakes to plot against others, this is called reciprocity."

"How did you know?"

Everyone in the room looked at Yan Shizhao.

Yan Shizhao said: "Is this hard to guess? Isn't this the use of people like you Yang Suidan?" His words were very firm.
