Wouldn't delay the plague, overall. Simple movement of people in general would still spread it.

No way to have an "absence" of plague. Remember, plague spreads for a reason, and unless it is confined to one city - i.e. one under siege - it's going to spread.

This plague was one that spread far beyond that - it won't be stopped. About the best thing I can think of from no siege in that light is that less troops would die from it while on that campaign, being slightly less concentrated.
