"Not yet, but many soldiers are showing symptoms of a cold.”Zhang Yan said.
"How many people are there?"
"Twenty-three people. This number is normal. It's not a plague.
Don't worry." Zhang Yan comforted him.
"You gave me a fright. I was thinking that the plague didn't break out in the city, but it broke out in my own house.”Liu Chan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Then why can't I come and see Senior Sister?”Liu Chan said unhappily.
Zhang Yan put down the chopsticks in her hand and rolled her eyes at Liu Chan."You said that many diseases are also plagues that can be transmitted through the air. What if there is really a plague in this quarantine camp and it spreads to you?”
"Senior Sister, if we confirm a case of plague, you must leave immediately.”Liu Chan said seriously.
"What about them?"
"For the sake of the ten thousand soldiers, we can only sacrifice a few people.”Liu Chan said after a moment of hesitation.
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said,"This is indeed the most correct way, but it's a little too cruel.”
"We can release demons, but we don't have the ability to subdue them.”
"Will there be one in the future?"
"There will be."
"How long will it take? If only I could develop a cure for the plague.”the young girl said innocently.
"This will take a very, very long time, and it might not be something that can be cured by the medical path that Senior Sister is pursuing.”
"There isn't only one path in the path of medicine, but all paths lead to the same goal. The ultimate goal is to treat people.”Zhang Yan said.
"Senior Sister, once we confirm that a soldier has contracted the plague, you must leave this place immediately.”Liu Chan said.
Zhang Yan nodded in agreement. Liu Chan glanced at the quarantine camp. There were more than 500 people here, including the soldiers who operated the trebuchets today. Most of these 500 people were healthy, but they had come into contact with corpses and suspected sources of infection. A small number of soldiers had symptoms of the cold, which was also the symptoms of the cold in the future.
The food and daily life of the soldiers in the quarantine camp would be strictly monitored. If there were no abnormalities after five days of observation, they would be released from the quarantine camp. If a soldier was confirmed to have contracted the plague, the soldier's life would end. This was something that could not be helped. Liu Chan could prevent the plague, but he could not cure it.
After using the catapults for the first time, Liu Bei did not organize another siege for several days. Instead, he confronted Jiangling City from afar.
The army in the city did not leave the city to fight with Liu Bei's army.
At the same time, South County was extremely quiet. There was no conflict between Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army.
In Xiangyang, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's 6,000-strong army were stationed at the foot of Xian Mountain, facing off against Xiangyang City, which was surrounded by water.
The moat of Xiangyang City led the Han River into it. The widest part of the moat was 300 feet, and the narrower part was 100 feet. This moat was truly a river.
To the north of the city was the Han River, facing Fan City across the water.
If they wanted to take down this city, they would need a hundred thousand soldiers and a navy to seal off the Han River.
It was not without reason that the Mongolian cavaliers who dominated Europe and Asia in the future were defeated at Xiangyang City. This geographical location was too difficult to attack.
Guan Yu didn't attack the city in a daze. Instead, he stationed himself outside the city to pose a threat to the defenders. At the same time, he sent out scouts to scout out the movements of the Cao army's reinforcements and also rob the Cao army of their food supplies.
The busiest were Zhao Yun's 1,000 cavalrymen. They were scattered in all directions, either robbing the Cao army of food or hunting down the Cao scouts who entered the city. It could be said that other than using carrier pigeons to communicate with the outside world, all other methods of communication on the ground had been cut off.
The Han River was filled with Liu Bei's navy, but the Cao army was also powerless against dozens of small ships. The remaining navy of Cao Cao was still trembling in fear against the Jiangdong Navy on the Yangtze River in Yangzhou. They were just short of blocking the port and not daring to go out.
Back then, Cao Cao had accepted most of the Jing State Navy. However, when Zhou Yu surrounded Jiangling, the Jing State Navy had long been wiped out by the Jiangdong Navy.
After the crushing defeat at Red Cliff, Cao Cao left Jingzhou, leaving Cao Ren to guard Jiangling, Le Jin to guard Xiangyang, Xu Huang to guard Fancheng, Wen Pin to guard Jiangxia, Man Chong to guard Dangyang, and Li Tong to guard Runan. These six people were known as the Six Armies by Cao Cao. He thought that these six people could stabilize Jingzhou, even if they were to face the Sun and Liu armies.
However, the current situation was a little out of Cao Cao's expectations. Le Jin and Xu Huang were held back by Guan Yu and did not dare to act rashly. Li Tong and Man Chong had entered Jiangling City, which was good news. However, Dangyang had been lost, making Jiangling a lonely city. It was both good and bad.
After Wen Pin was defeated by Guan Yu on the way to Jiangling, he led the remaining soldiers back to Jiangxia and did not dare to act rashly to protect his troops against Jiangdong.
"The big-eared thief still has a wicked heart!" In Cao Cao's Prime Minister's residence, Cao Cao took the news from Jing State and placed the silk book on the table.
"Do you have any plans to pacify Liu Bei?" Cao Cao looked at the crowd with a calm expression, as if he did not care about Liu Bei's attack on Jiangling and Xiangyang.
Even though Red Cliff had just lost, Cao Cao did not think that he had lost to Liu Bei, but to Zhou Yu and Sun Quan in River East.
Although Cao Cao valued Liu Bei, he still did not consider Liu Bei as an opponent.
With 20,000 soldiers, occupying the four barren counties of Jingnan, Liu Bei's threat was not even as great as Liangzhou's Han Sui and Ma Teng.
However, Liu Bei was like a fly flying around. Even if Cao Cao did not care about Liu Bei, he had to do something.
The strategists and aides sat on the left and right, each of them thinking about how to face the current situation.
Cao Cao looked at the crowd. If it was in the past, Cheng Yu would definitely help him make a decision. However, after pacifying Jingzhou, Cheng Yu used the allusion of 'knowing one's feet and not being humiliated' to retreat bravely, hand over his military power, resign from his post, and shut his doors.
Among the people present, there were people who were more resourceful than Cheng Yu, such as Xun You. However, this person was calm and did not want to be in the limelight first. Therefore, if Cao Cao did not take the initiative to ask, he would definitely not speak before his colleagues.
There was also Jia Xu, who was known for his flawless planning and decision-making. However, he was an old fox. He would not make any suggestions unless he was absolutely certain of it. He did not say anything because he thought Liu Bei was not easy to deal with.
Xun Yu was not here today. He had left for East County a few days ago to inspect the autumn grain that was about to be harvested.
The others, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye, and Jiang Ji, were talented, but they did not dare to speak up in front of Xun You and Jia Xu due to their experience.
"Gongda, what do you think I should do?”Cao Cao asked Xun You.
Xun You smiled faintly and pointed at his heart.""My lord has already made up his mind.”
Cao Cao slowly said," Liu Ba once had a conversation with me. Liu Bei had just obtained the four prefectures of Jingzhou. Liu Ba asked me what I should do if Liu Bei wanted to seize Jingzhou.”
