"Returning to the general, there were more than 20 fever cases in our army, but they were all separated by us. That battalion was sealed off, and all soldiers were not allowed to step out of the camp."

A soldier responded.

Those infected people were all taken away by Yan Yun, and finally the whole army was wiped out outside the city. Unexpectedly, the virus remained in the city.

There are only a few people left in the Badong guards, and it is impossible to resist Chen Yang's next siege. Now everything is exposed, and the situation is very bad for them.

Until now, Wu Gang still can't understand why the sheep appeared in the city, and why the plague appeared in the city.

"The people in that camp, stay and guard the city, and let them fend for themselves."

Wu Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go out of the city, get out of here immediately, hurry up!"

If it's not fast, wait until Chen Yang slows down and lay an ambush outside the city gate, and they won't be able to escape.

In addition, if you don't leave quickly, the plague will continue to spread, and the remaining people will not be able to leave.

"Yes!"

The soldier went down to arrange as soon as possible.

In less than half an hour, Wu Gang led the army to withdraw from Padang first, and went to Xiangyang in the east.

"My dear brother, I really feel sorry for asking you to run away with us."

Wu Gang said remorsefully.

"Brother Ang, don't say that. In fact, I still have a doubt. Did those plagues appear in your hands, Brother Ang?"

Nie Hou looked at him and asked, as if he saw something.

Wu Gang was taken aback. Not many people knew about the source of the plague, probably him, Yan Yun, and some close and trustworthy soldiers.

He can guarantee that that part of the soldiers will not leak, and he has never told Nie Hou.

"of course not!"

Wu Gang shook his head, this kind of thing had to be denied to the end, and continued: "I will never do such a wicked thing, I suspect that it is the plague that Chen Yang put in."

"Chen Yang is really hateful!"

Nie Hou said something casually, but the specifics could not be hidden from his judgment. He continued: "Brother Ang, here is a bottle of medicine that I have recently formulated. It is very useful for your injury. Let's say goodbye today."

Wu Gang asked nervously: "My dear brother, you don't plan to go back to Yecheng with me?"

He is ready to introduce Niehou to Sima Yi, and later he will be appointed as a marquis and minister. Under one person, over ten thousand people, with Niehou's strength, it is easy.

"No, I said long ago that I'm not interested in these things. Brother Wu doesn't need to persuade you anymore. This time I can't avenge my third brother. I feel ashamed of you and should go back."

Nie Hou said in a very embarrassing way: "I still owe you my life, Brother Ang. If you need me to pay it back in the future, come to me at any time. Let's not live today."

After finishing speaking, he arched his hands, raised the reins, lashed the horse vigorously, turned and walked further and further north.

"Brother!"

Wu Gang yelled, but it was impossible to call him back.

After Nie Hou walked far away, he did not continue to go north, paused for a while, and went south again.

If Wu Gang was willing to tell him the truth and admit about the plague, Nie Hou could consider going back with him.

But what Wu Gang concealed was related to his father, including the plague.

As long as it is related to his father, he does not want to stay.

-

"My lord, Wu Gang has left Padang with the remaining soldiers and horses."

Shadow walked into the barracks and said.

"Wu Gang is gone?"

Chen Yang thought for a while, and gave up pursuing. Now he just wants to take down Badong and occupy Hanzhong.

Li Yuan asked: "Master, do you want to attack the city now?"

"Wait a minute, there is still a plague in the city."

As Chen Yang spoke, he looked at the shadow beside him, and continued: "Find out for me, how did the soldiers in Padang contract the plague?"

"Returning to my lord, we have checked and just got the results. It is said that the plague came from a sheep. We can't continue to investigate the specific situation."

Because it was a plague, Shadow did not dare to go deep into it to investigate, not to mention that Wu Gang has also run away now, it is difficult to investigate further.

Chen Yang waved his hand to let the shadow go down first, and said: "If I guess correctly, there are still soldiers infected with the plague in Badong City. It is impossible for Wu Gang to take them away, but he will use them to defend the city. If he attacks rashly now, he will only Bring the plague back to our army, and wait a few days before we talk about it."

I don't know what kind of virus this plague is. Even Hua Tuo can't solve it here, so they can only continue to wait.

Time passed quickly and several days passed, and the number of soldiers guarding the city on the tower became less and less. In the end, there were none, and they all probably fell ill.

Chen Yang went out of the city to take a look, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid that the soldiers infected with the plague will all fall down. Now there is no one guarding the city."

Hua Tuo said worriedly: "My lord, wait a little longer. There is also virus on the corpse, which is easy to infect."

Listening to Hua Tuo's words, they were not in a hurry, and waited a little longer, so they waited for almost half a month.

During this time, Chen Yang asked people to prepare enough lime powder, glanced at the city gate, and continued: "Siege the city!"

The city gate was not guarded, and the people in Padang City knew the existence of the plague, so it was impossible to guard the city, nor did they have the ability, so they opened it as soon as they hit it.

"Sprinkle lime powder."

Chen Yang ordered all soldiers to take safety measures before entering the city, and then sprinkle lime powder near the city gate for disinfection to prevent any accidents from happening.

After a while, they found a lot of skeletons near the city tower. They obviously died of illness, but the death would be a bit miserable.

"It was covered with lime first, then sprinkled with water, and it was all burned with a fire."

Chen Yang ordered to go down again.

Lime will heat up when it touches water, and even if there are any residual viruses, it will be killed, so that it can be used to prevent future troubles.

Chen Yang didn't expect that when he came back to Badong again, it would be like this. Fortunately, these soldiers were restrained and didn't spread the plague into the city, otherwise the city would be unacceptable.

After finishing all these, Chen Yang and the others moved into the official residence.

After taking down Badong, the northern part of Hanzhong and a part of the eastern region, it can be regarded as in his hands, and he can attack Xiangyang further west.

"My lord, shall we bring a cannon back from the north?"

Li Yuan asked.

Their new artillery was destroyed by Nie Hou. Without such weapons in the army, it was difficult to attack the city.

"No need, there are still a lot of old Jin army artillery left in this Badong city, but it is enough to attack the city."

Chen Yang thought for a while and said to himself: "Next, we will go south to sweep across the southern part of Hanzhong and enter Yizhou. We don't need artillery. What's more, the road to Shu is rough and difficult. If we can't cross the mountains with artillery, it will only be a burden."

Li Yuan thought it made sense and didn't mention it again.

After settling down in Badong, Chen Yang decided to rest for a while, and was not in a hurry to continue going south.

Seeing that he had nothing to do here, Hua Tuo said goodbye and went back to Chang'an.

Chen Yang asked Ya Ruo to go back to Chang'an and go with Hua Tuo. She could only agree that she would not be of much help in the army and would be a burden.
