Chapter 1299

Luo qingluan and lengli did not panic. As usual, they quietly waited for the development of the situation.

Zhao Wu is the confidant around Li Dian who is responsible for burning the bodies of dead soldiers. When he took several of his men and announced Li Dian's order, everyone felt the seriousness of the epidemic.

"Pile all the bodies together, prepare fire oil and burn them all."

When the order was delivered to every barracks, everyone was shocked.

Burning the body?

These are their companions, but now they will end up burning, dead without a whole body?

What about the remaining patients? Why haven't there been any treatment so far? Can they only wait to die? When they die, their fate is the same. They are burned one by one?

"No, no, these are our brothers. We can't burn them." Immediately, someone was restless and wanted to plead: "commander, can you tell the general not to burn? People die, they have to go back to their hometown for burial?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu's face sank: "this is the general's order. It must be burned, or the epidemic will spread, and no one can be held responsible!" Then he waved his hand, "go quickly and carry out all the bodies. You're dawdling and dealing with them by military law!"

Hearing this, they were awestruck and dared not hesitate any more. They had to turn around.

A moment later, bodies were carried out. At first, they were neatly placed together, but gradually there were more and more bodies. The open space could not be piled up at all, but could only be overlapped.

Later, the corpses had piled up like a hill, with every dead face, pale skin, dry lips, sick face... As well as ragged clothes, stench and even some filthy. The things were not cleaned and all stuck to the body. It was terrible.

Countless soldiers in the southern Wei Dynasty couldn't bear to look at it directly, but they had to watch it. When the fire oil was poured and the flame rose, the Zizi sound and strong stench almost made people vomit.

"Vomit..." the unbearable soldiers turned around, bent down, and then vomited.

Even if they can't see, they will never forget this moment. The heart has been covered with a shadow, and everyone is worried. They are only afraid that they will fall the next moment. The end of being burned may be their fate.

The flame burned until late into the night. It was filled with the burning smell of meat, mixed with unspeakable taste, like a big stone in the hearts of people. No one spoke, no one slept, and some people didn't even eat.

By the fire, several soldiers were whispering.

"I feel a little uncomfortable... Will I be poisoned?"

"No, go and get some medicine!"

"The potion issued by the Quartermaster is useless at all. Didn't Zhang Lai also eat it and die!"

Another voice suddenly lowered: "what should I do?"

"Maybe we'll all die here. Don't want to go back." A soldier hit the ground with a hard blow: "shit, if you die on the battlefield and are killed by those western Chu people, I have nothing to say, but..."

"It's just that I don't want to die. I'm ashamed to say it."

"But there's no way. I don't see how much it burned today. Even the captain is dead, but it's not the same. You say, is it because God punished us that this plague came down

…”

"What plague is clearly poisoning. I'm afraid we'll all die here!"

Suddenly someone stood up and looked unwilling: "no, I don't want to die here. I might as well run away..."

"You're crazy. Running away is tantamount to treason. If you're caught, you'll be dealt with by the military law and killed alive!" Someone stopped him immediately, but it was useless.

There are more than one people who have such ideas. When someone says it first, it is like a seed sprouting and growing madly in their heart. In order to live, in order to hope, no one wants to die.

Soon, three of these people agreed. They went back to the camp to pack up their things. After sneaking around, they secretly led a horse and ran away

Looking at the disappearing figure in the distance, Luo qingluan looked at lengli with cold eyes: "there are deserters as expected."

"When this matter is known by Li Dian tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll be angry, but I can't hide it at all. There will be more deserters soon." Leng Li nodded and said, "as long as the epidemic situation is not relieved, the people of Southern Wei will be immersed in panic, and those who suffer from the disease will die slowly, causing greater panic."

He and Luo qingluan have calculated that now more than 10000 officers and soldiers of the southern Wei Dynasty have been poisoned. Hundreds of thousands of them will die from diarrhea and dehydration every day. They have no fighting power at all. Even if they want to escape now, there is basically no problem.

Originally, lengli wanted to escape with Luo qingluan, but Luo qingluan didn't agree. He had to wait until the situation was stable, so lengli had to stay.

Luo qingluan was actually waiting for a greater outbreak of civil strife.

And this civil strife is coming soon.

The next day, when Li Dian learned that some soldiers had sneaked away, he was really angry: "bastard, don't send someone to catch them! None of them are allowed to go. If they go, they will infect others..." he was frightened when he thought that the border city might be the same as the border city military camp.

If so, I'm afraid he will bear all the blame?

"If the order goes down, the captain will whip 50 people for anyone who escapes. Immediately, a group of three will monitor each other. If one escapes, the other two will also be severely punished without error."

When the order was passed on, all the officers and men of the southern Wei Dynasty could no longer control their excitement.

Originally, they were still hoping that they could be cured by drinking medicine. Unexpectedly, it became more and more serious, and some even died. They want to wait for the rescue of the imperial court, but they are still far away. At present, they are even monitored. All those who have misdeeds will be executed. How can they be patient?

"No, we want to see the general. Why should we give such an order? Didn't it mean to let us wait to die?"

"General, why don't you explain that you don't save people, but you have to trap us?"

"If it was a war death, none of us would shrink back, but now there is neither medicine nor treatment. If we die, we have to burn the body. Who wants? We quit!"

"Yes, quit!"

Countless soldiers in the southern Wei Dynasty were in high spirits, one by one, and the fiercest confrontation broke out in the barracks.

When someone suppressed, someone resisted, and the situation became more and more serious. When Li Dian learned all these things, he was stunned: "how, how could it be like this, reversed, reversed! They reversed one by one!"

"General, you'd better give orders quickly, or they will make trouble

！ Now the people of the first, second and fourth battalions are outside. Let the general either take out the antidote or let them go, or... They will come in! "

Li Dian immediately trembled: "what, are they going to turn back?"

Just then, a deafening roar sounded from the outside: "antidote, antidote!"

"We're going back!"

"We don't want to die!"

Like the waves, a roar resounded through the whole camp.

"General, don't insist any more, or they will really rush in. I'm afraid... Something will happen." The soldier advised that his face was sweating and worried.

His eyes became more and more gloomy. Li Dian seemed to feel the sharp turn of the situation. He was afraid that he could not control it.

A battle was not defeated by the people of Western Chu, but by an inexplicable Providence. plague? Poisoning? Even he couldn't tell what was going on.

Like a bereaved dog, Li Dian was dejected and listless. "Forget it, let them go. What do you want? The general doesn't want to take care of it anymore. If you want to die..."

Before he finished, a voice came from behind: "wait."

Li Dian suddenly turned around and saw a young man standing behind him. He actually came in from behind the camp and cut a hole. No wonder he didn't notice how he came in.

This person, of course, is lengli, and beside him, there is still Luo qingluan with an indifferent face.

"General, I haven't seen you for two days. Why is it so chaotic?" Luo qingluan looked at him with unspeakable coldness and irony in her eyes.

"Princess Chu..."

Looking at Luo qingluan, who was calm in front of him, and lengli, who was recovering from his injury, Li Dian seemed to guess something. His eyes were cold, but soon dimmed again.

At this time, what if he knows?

It seems that this is not a plague at all, it is poisoning! Moreover, the person who poisoned was Luo qingluan, Princess of Chu.

Li Dian couldn't help smiling bitterly and wanted to slap himself.

If he hadn't left Luo qingluan in the barracks, if he hadn't neglected and didn't pay attention to Luo qingluan, how could this day come? The funny thing is that he used to regard Luo qingluan as the Savior and obey her. I'm afraid that because of this, the disaster spread so fast?

"Princess Chu, you're great. General Ben lost." Li Dian was so depressed that he didn't even bother to resist.

He naturally knows Leng Li's martial arts, let alone him. I'm afraid another three or five people are not his opponent.

Naturally, Luo qingluan's purpose was not to kill so many people. Standing in front of Li Dian, she said faintly, "since the general conceded defeat, it's easy to say. I only asked the general, do you want to save them? Do you still want these sick soldiers of the southern Wei Dynasty to live?"

His eyes moved. Li Dian stared at Luo qingluan: "what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. Just ask the general if I want to save them."

If it could be solved, why wouldn't Li Dian?

In today's situation, he almost knows his end. It is definitely a capital crime and may even involve his family. If there is a way to save it, how can he be unwilling?

Could not help but raise a glimmer of hope. Li Dian said, "if Princess Chu still has a way, what do you need me to do?"
