Chapter 139 We can't let her fool us.
"Hello, I am General Pei's wife. I have heard about what happened in your city, and I have something to say to you about it."
I hope you can stop and listen to me for a moment.
Yu Wanwan shouted very loudly.
At this moment, she felt a pang of regret that she hadn't been adequately prepared when she traveled back in time.
Surprisingly, they didn't even prepare a few loudspeakers.
She lacked internal energy, unlike Pei Yi and the others who could easily shout loudly.
She has to scream her lungs out just to make sure the people below can hear her even a little bit.
Just shouting those two sentences made her feel as tired as if she had run 800 meters.
After she finished, she stopped and looked at the actions of the people below the city wall.
The crowd, which had just been running forward like zombies, suddenly stopped a little.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Wanwan heard someone below send out a representative and shout.
"Madam General, please save us! We have no choice but to come here. The whole town of Taiping is now infected with the plague. There are not enough doctors or medicine in the town. If we continue to stay in the town, we will only be waiting to die."
"Madam General, we know we should listen to you and stay obediently in Taiping Town, but we're afraid of dying."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else shouted loudly.
"Madam General, three people in our family have died in the last two days alone. I don't care about myself, but I can't just watch my child die. Madam General, please, please let us in."
Please, if we survive, we'll serve you like cattle and horses to repay your kindness.
“Madam General, everyone in my family is dead, and I am the only one left. My father’s last wish was to see me carry on the family line. I can’t die. If I die, my father’s wish will never be fulfilled.”
Yu Wanwan felt an overwhelming surge of sympathy.
It seems the plague is much more terrible than she had heard before.
Three people died in one family.
In some cases, the entire family died, leaving only one person alive.
But when she heard what he said next, her lips twitched again.
It seems this really was his father's wish; even at this point, he still hasn't forgotten about continuing the family line.
"Madam General, please let us in, please save us."
"Madam General, please, we really don't want to die, please, please let us in."
"Cough cough cough, General's wife... my father... my father is dying, please."
As they spoke, they all knelt down.
He kowtowed to Yu Wanwan.
Looking at them, they all seemed to have been weakened to the point of being completely vulnerable to healing.
For a fleeting moment, she almost wavered.
They wanted to open the city gates wide and let them in.
Save them all, save them all, not one less. She wants them all to live.
But the thought only flashed through my mind, and soon reason prevailed again.
Letting them in at this point makes no sense.
It will only complicate matters further and reduce their chances of survival.
"Don't get agitated, all of you," Yu Wanwan continued to shout.
The best outcome would be if we could reason with them and persuade them to stop rushing into the city.
"I implore you all to be quiet and listen to me. I assure you that I will never abandon you."
If I can get more medicine, I will definitely have it delivered to you as soon as possible.
However, as mentioned before, with limited access to medication, the number of people who can actually take it also becomes limited.
You can also think about it yourselves: if you really rush into the city and let the people inside get infected with the plague just like you, what will happen?
"As the wife of the general stationed in Luocheng, if I had the medicine, who would I help first?"
"That's right. If the people of Luo City also get sick, and given my limited supply of medicine, I will definitely prioritize using it to help them."
But if Luo Cheng is alright, I will definitely give you the medicine when I get it.
"Under these circumstances, are you sure you still want to rush in?"
Yu Wanwan felt that she had explained the principle in a very simple and clear way.
They should be able to figure it out quickly.
She paused, giving them more time to think things through.
Soon, a sound rang out.
"You said the same thing last time, but what happened? We still don't have enough medicine and doctors, and many people in our city are still dying."
Now they're telling us to wait peacefully in the city, but what are we supposed to wait for? To die?
"That's right, they keep telling us to calm down and wait in Taiping Town, but what are we supposed to wait for? Are all our people going to die?"
"After we all die, no one will bring the disease into your city, and then the people in your city will be safe?"
"The Prince Consort is right. The sick are not yours, and the dead are not yours, so how could you possibly help us sincerely?"
Even the doctors you sent weren't very attentive when treating us, otherwise, how could it have taken so long to get under control?
Not only did we fail to control it, but we are also losing more and more lives.
"Then we might as well just barge in. Once we barge in, and the people in your city get sick, and the Dasheng army gets sick too, you, as generals and generals' wives, will definitely be worried."
They'll be eager to find the medicine, and the doctor will treat them more diligently, which might give us a glimmer of hope.
"Yes, just like what the Prince Consort said, we need to rush in and make them all get sick like us, then they will really get anxious and start solving the problem."
I heard the words "Prince Consort" from two different people in a row.
Yu Wanwan wanted to drag that prince consort out and give him a good beating.
No wonder these people suddenly went crazy and were so desperate to break into Luo City; it turns out it was all that scum who instigated them.
"Let's stop listening to her nonsense. This has nothing to do with them, so why would they be really in a hurry? Let's rush in."
"Yes, let's rush in quickly and make sure all the people in the city get sick so they will treat us properly."
"Charge! Everyone, charge!"
Yu Wanwan frowned deeply.
The people outside the city gates became restless again.
These people were very aggressive, and suddenly everyone rushed forward.
They charged forward recklessly, and even when they trampled their own people, they didn't stop.
Until the person at the very front encounters the roadblocks they set up.
They screamed in agony, which finally made the crowd pause for a moment.
But roadblocks are inanimate objects; people are alive.
When these people are determined to break through the city gates, they will quickly come up with a way.
