Chapter 54 Plague Attack

"Langya, 70% to 80% of the people on the border of Mount Tai have migrated, and the extra felt tents of the troops stationed in various places have been transferred to the border. If it's not enough, you can also build a reed shed. In addition, a lot of deep wells have been drilled. In Xuzhou Mufu, Chen Qun reported the current situation to Liu Bei in detail.

"Has it ever caused panic?" Liu Bei asked.

"For the time being, the local officials told the people in detail that the northern counties would cause the plague, so they asked everyone to avoid it for a few months." Chen Qun said in detail. Zhao Feng also knew that although the people were inseparable from their hometowns, they were afraid of encountering the plague. At present, the border between Xuzhou and Yuzhou and several counties bordering the north is ready, just in case.

A few days ago, when Hua Tuo told Liu Bei that there might be a large-scale plague, Zhao Feng did not care about the world and put forward some measures to limit the plague on the spot. Is that all right?" After listening to Zhao Feng's advice, Liu Bei was also a little unbelievable.

"It's like this!" Zhao Feng honestly admitted it. In this era, all you can do is isolate, and then find ways to strengthen the resistance of patients as much as you can, while reducing pollution sources. Although Liu Bei didn't believe Zhao Feng's suggestion, he also arranged it with the mentality of being a dead horse doctor. Therefore, the people in the border area under Liu Bei's rule were evacuated first, and the empty houses were requisitioned. In addition, a large number of camp tents in the army were also allocated to be used to accommodate refugees from the north. At the same time, according to Zhao Feng's suggestion, deep wells were excabated in the refugee camp to avoid drinking polluted river water. In addition, vegetables and dry food are allocated to the border by the government to resettle refugees. As for medicinal herbs, we still need to wait until the specific condition is determined. In addition, the corpses of infected people or livestock must be burned and buried, and then sprinkled with lime powder, which cannot be allowed to be infected.

Zhao Feng knew that most of the plagues at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty were hemorrhagic fever and typhoid fever. The former has no medicine for the time being, and can only resist by increasing the intake of vitamins and enhancing the body's resistance; the latter still has a law to follow. For example, the use of osmanthus branches, peony and other traditional Chinese medicinal materials can greatly relieve the disease. Now Zhao Feng can only pray that this plague is preferably typhoid.

Hua Tuo's vision is quite accurate. A month later, the plague broke out in Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and Yongzhou and Yanzhou in the north. The epidemic became more and more serious in the north. For a while, a large number of disaster victims fled to the south. In order to defend the place, Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent Cai Mao and others to Chen Bing to the border, and strictly prohibited disaster victims from entering Jingxiang. Guan Yu of Yuzhou and Liu Bei of Xuzhou began to shelter refugees in an orderly manner. For a moment, the princes of the world were greatly surprised.

"How dare Liu Bei take in the disaster victims?" After Cao Qian heard the detailed report, he also felt strange: Doesn't Liu D'er know the severity of the plague? Obviously not. After all, Liu Bei and he both experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, it was because of the drought and the plague broke out, so that the population of the Han Dynasty was sharply reduced by 20 million.

"Master, according to Yu's calculation, it seems that Liu Bei has a way to control the plague!" Xun Yu was a little unbelievable, but he still said bluntly, "Liu Bei's rule receives no less than thousands of disaster victims every day, but there are only more than a hundred dead." As soon as this statement came out, everyone exclaimed: It was simply unimaginable to them. How did Liu Bei do it? Cao asked in a hurry.

"This has not been clarified for the time being. At present, the plague is rampant, and many details have died on the road." Xun Yu said with some gloom. Cao Wei also knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to take a look at it first.

"What's the situation?" In Xuzhou City, Liu Bei asked Chen Qun that all the senior officials in Xuzhou were also present. One month since the outbreak of the plague, about 4,000 disaster victims have poured into Xuzhou every day, and there are more than 5,000 in Yuzhou. Chen Qun replied and paused. Chen Qun glanced at Zhao Feng and said, "But I, Xuzhou has adopted General Zhao's method in Yuzhou to firmly control the epidemic at the border. At present, not only Qingzhou and Yanzhou, but also many people in Jingzhou have begun to flood into Runan.

"Is there enough food and medicine?" Liu Bei asked again, after all, if this is gone, if you want to control it, it's a fool's dream. It can last for two months!" Chen Qun replied.

"Enough!" Zhao Feng calculated the time. In two months, it would be winter. At that time, the plague would naturally subsided, and Liu Bei was much more relaxed when he heard the words. A few days later, after repeated experiments by Zhao Feng and Hua Tuo, it was finally confirmed that wormock soup could effectively prevent the plague. Hua Tuo didn't know this at all, but Zhao Feng had read the record in this regard in his previous life. Now he discussed with Hua Tuo, the first magic doctor at that time, for a long time, and finally figured it out.

"General Zhao's medical skills are so magical. I really admire him!" In Xuzhou College, an old man with crane hair and childlike face saluted Zhao Feng that he was Hua Tuo. "Where, where!" Zhao Feng said modestly that he still had to be self-aware in front of this expert, but Liu Bei and others who came together looked at Zhao Feng with a little appalled: he could not only fight, but also civil affairs, and even proficient in medical skills and business. There was simply nothing he could not do.

Under such an epidemic, no matter how arrogant Yuan Shao and Cao Qian are, they can't go to war. In this sad and panicked atmosphere, several bosses spent 198 years, and it was not until the winter plague eased that they were slightly better. As for Sun Ce in the south and Liu Zhang in the ravine, the former is busy pacing Jiaozhou, while the latter is no longer in charge of the world.

The quarantine area on the border between Xuzhou and Yuzhou has been demolished, but the people who have returned to freedom are unwilling to leave. Most people choose to settle down here. After the epidemic, 300,000 people poured into Xuzhou from Qingzhou, 200,000 people poured into Yuzhou, and Jingzhou poured nearly 200,000 into Yuzhou!" After checking the number of people, Chen Qun reported to Liu Bei.

"So many?" Liu Bei was also shocked, but then he understood that if it hadn't been effectively controlled, it would have been difficult for these people to survive half of the time, not to mention that they would not be affected. Thinking of this, Liu Bei straightened his clothes and got up to saluting Zhao Feng. The latter quickly stepped forward to help him: "Why is the lord like this? If you really kill me!"

"This time, Bo Tao has taken the right measures to save millions of souls from the Han Dynasty. I really don't know how to thank Bo Tao!" Liu Bei sighed that Zhao Feng did not dare to do it, and some of the rest of the people also advised each other and some sighed that for a while, there was quite a feeling of the rest of the life after the disaster in Xuzhou City.

If Liu Bei is only the rest of his life after the disaster, then Lao Cao will die. After the plague, Yanzhou and Yongzhou under his rule suffered heavy losses. With the death and loss of the population, the loss is nearly one million. Although he later learned how Liu Bei controlled the plague, it was almost the middle of winter, and it was too late to make up for the lost sheep.

"The population is less than 3 million, and the army is only 200,000. How can I fight with Yuan Benchu in the spring!" This is the biggest headache for Cao Xiu now. Although Jizhou and other places are also miserable by the epidemic, Yuan Shao's family has a rich foundation and can afford it!

Guo Jia, who was beside him, looked at Cao Qian like this and immediately understood what he was worried about. He smiled and said the famous ten wins and ten defeats: "Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows it. The ancestor of the Han Dynasty was wise and better than Xiang Yu, so although the feather was strong, he was finally a bird. Today, Shao has ten defeats and ten victories in the public. Although Shao is strong, he is powerless. Shao Fan's etiquette is many rituals, and the public body is natural, and this way is also victory; Shao's rebellion is to reverse, and obedience is to lead the world, which is also a righteous victory; since Huan and Ling, the government has lost to be lenient, Shao is lenient, so he does not take it, the public correction is fierce and up and down knowledge system, this rule is also victory; Shao is lenient and internal taboo, using people to doubt it, the only relatives and children, the public is easy to be simple and the inside is clear. There is no doubt that the use of people is only suitable for talent. If you don't ask about distance, this is a victory; Shao has more and a little decision, and if you lose it in the future, the public will take the strategy, and the response is endless, and this plan is to win; Shao Gao's discussion is to accept the reputation, and the good words of the scholar will be more to play the outsiders. The public treats people with the heart, not false beauty, the loyalty and vision of the scholar is willing to use it, and this virtue is also a victory. ; Shao saw people's hunger and cold, compassion, shape in color, what they don't see, worry or not, public about the current small things, sometimes there is a sudden, as for big things, with the world, the addition of kindness, all of them are beyond their expectations, although they do not see, all the care is not good, this benevolence is also victory; Shao ministers compete for power, slander and confuse chaos, the public is under the way, infiltration is not good, this is a clear victory; Shao's right and wrong are unknown. The public office is to enter with courtesy, and it is not righteous with the law. This article is also a victory. Shaohao is a false power. He does not know the need for soldiers. The public uses less to restrain the public. The army is like a god. The soldiers are afraid of it, and the enemy is afraid of it. This martial arts is also a victory.

This flattery really carried Cao to the sky, a little fluttering and dizzy, and buried Yuan Shao to nothing. Cao Shen was also in high spirits. He began to fight fiercely and was ready to go to war with Yuan Shao at any time. At the same time, there was also news from the south that after a series of fierce battles with Sun Ce, Shi Xie from Jiaozhou was finally completely defeated in the battle of Yulin. Shi Xie and his two sons died in the turbulent army. Only Shi Xie's younger brother Shi Wu escaped from the Shi family and went to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao. So far, Sun Ce has occupied Jiaozhou and Jiangdong, with no less than 200,000 men, and his strength should not be underestimated for a while.

"It seems that Sun Ce has made a lot of money!" When the news was sent back to Xuzhou, Zhao Feng sighed. However, Liu Bei also made a lot of money. Although the consumption of money and food was quite large in the fight against the plague, the population increased greatly! At this time, it was the beginning of spring. The number of people under Liu Bei's rule increased by one million, and one million people were basically young and middle-aged. This is also normal. How can anyone who can survive the plague be weak and sickly? Now Liu Bei is much more calm in recruiting the army and governing the localities. Therefore, under the auspices of Chen Qun and Zhao Feng, various civil affairs and military affairs also began to be built in an orderly manner.

What Zhao Feng didn't expect was that the dark tide was also surging in Jizhou City at this time. Yuan Shao, the first boss in the world, sat on the main seat, looked at the civil and military people sitting down, and slowly said, "Gentlemen, I want to rebel and fight with that Cao. What do you think?"
