Liu Zheng's words immediately made Zhang Zhao, Chen Deng and others shine, although they had some doubts about Liu Zheng's decision to choose peace talks, but they could actually think of some of the stakes, but after hearing Liu Zheng's explanation, the original doubts in their hearts were gone.

On the contrary, he secretly praised Liu Zheng in his heart for his beautiful play with retreat.

Lu Bu naturally didn't understand what Liu Zheng said, but he wouldn't admit that he didn't understand, just nodded and stopped talking, pretending that he already understood.

After the war in Qingzhou ended, Liu Zheng immediately appointed Zang Ba as the assassin of Qingzhou, in charge of the defense of various parts of Qingzhou. Chen Deng managed the government affairs of various counties and counties in Qingzhou as the pastor of Qingzhou, of course, the main thing was to appease the people in Qingzhou so that the people of Qingzhou could restore order and be busy with spring plowing matters as soon as possible.

After all, the end of May is already relatively late, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that this year will be wasted again, and when there is no food in winter, it is the people of Qingzhou who will starve to death, and Liu Zheng himself will have a headache.

Of course, these Yellow Turban Army that were originally in Qingzhou, under the discussion of Liu Zheng and Zhang Ning, Liu Zheng arranged all these Yellow Turban Army under his command.

Because of Zhang Mancheng's death, the last blood of the Yellow Turban Army was completely cut off, and at this time, Zhang Ning, who was left with only the tens of thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, also lost the ambition to reorganize the Yellow Turban Army in her heart, she finally gave in and succumbed to this fate, after all, Zhang Ning was always just a daughter, she was not a man.

Although she tried hard to inherit the legacy of Tiangong General Zhang Jiao, she always felt powerless, and that sense of powerlessness almost made her desperate several times, but it was because of Liu Zheng that she saved her many times, and Liu Zheng made her feel at ease to become a woman and follow Liu Zheng's side.

Liu Zheng promised Zhang Ning that if he seized the world in the future, he would take the Yellow Turban Sect as the state religion, and when the time came, the same would be achieved, and Zhang Ning's expectations would be satisfied.

Let Liu Zheng absorb the remaining Yellow Turban Army, and arrange these Yellow Turban Army into the major military camps under Liu Zheng in batches.

The main reason is that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses and Tai Shici's soldiers and horses have suffered great losses, in this battle to aid Qingzhou and the surprise attack on Xuzhou, the losses of these regiments are relatively large, and these Yellow Turban Army under Zhang Ning are Qingzhou soldiers, and they can survive until now are the best in the Yellow Turban Army, and a little selection of one can form a good force of soldiers and horses.

Liu Zheng brought all of them back to Yangzhou for training for three months to form a new army, and all of them were dispersed and scattered to various military camps under Liu Zheng's command, which was also a sign of their Yellow Turban Army that was completely erased.

On the Qingzhou side, only more than 10,000 bandits from Zang Ba remained, and then there was the remaining part of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's naval army, which was responsible for supporting the Donglai coast.

As for the rest of the people, they will all be transferred back to various places to recuperate for the time being.

Of course, Liu Zheng's personal soldiers, and these trapping camps under Lu Bu, Liu Zheng has a great use, so he will take them with him for the time being.

Soon after Liu Zheng led his men and horses from Qingzhou, a great plague began to spread here.

At first, he was a soldier stationed in the army of Zangba in Linzi City, Qingzhou.

Several bandit soldiers had been recuperating in the barracks because they had been injured on the battlefield, but within a few days, they had a high fever and a cough, and within a few days, they died of exhaustion due to the slightest improvement in their illness.

This kind of situation is just an exception, and it has not attracted the attention of the superiors, and everyone only treats these bandit soldiers as if they were people killed on the battlefield, and transported them to one place to be buried.

However, after the death of these people, more patients appeared in the barracks, dozens of people, who died of this symptom, and after calling the military doctor for observation, there was no improvement at all, and the military doctor concluded that it was a plague.

immediately aroused Zang Ba's vigilance, and Zang Ba quickly whipped up and informed Liu Zheng of the news.

And when Liu Zheng sent the news to Zang Ba, he had already discovered that some people in his army were infected with the plague.

Because of the soldiers and horses he brought back from Qingzhou, someone died suddenly, accompanied by a high fever and fever, coughing non-stop, these symptoms suddenly made Liu Zheng think of the plague that changed color.

The plague virus may be the most deadly and injured natural disaster during the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

This plague did not break out suddenly, but because there were major wars here in Qingzhou one after another, the environment, corpses, and the weather was still in the shade, bacteria were easy to breed and spread, and it was easy to break out mass infectious diseases.

Regarding the plague, in fact, Liu Zheng was not worried at first, because this kind of thing was not uncommon for the common people of the Han Dynasty, and everyone had long been accustomed to it.

In the decades at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the great plague was almost continuous, once or twice a year, and the number of deaths was so large that it was impossible to count.

In just 30 years at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 12 national plagues that were clearly recorded. During the plague epidemic, families were ruined and people died, and the consequences were very tragic. In the once prosperous Central Plains region, there was such a tragic situation at one time: "There is the pain of a corpse in every family, and there is a cry of mourning in the room, or the door is closed and the family is mourned." ”

Moreover, although the plague is a discoloration to talk about, as long as it is protected, it will not cause nationwide casualties, at most it will be the demise of a village by village, within the scope of the region.

But this time the plague that broke out from Qingzhou had a huge impact.

First of all, when the plague broke out, Liu Zheng and Liu Bei did not know about it, and after Liu Zheng noticed the plague at this time, Liu Zheng and Liu Bei had already led their soldiers and horses to leave Qingzhou and return to their respective territories.

As a result, the plague that occurred in Qingzhou was brought to the entire Central Plains along the road.

Liu Bei brought the plague from Qingzhou to Yanzhou, and Gongsun Zhan's people took it to Jizhou.

And Liu Zheng went south along the road, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, all were infected.

In addition, I didn't know that it was a plague at the beginning, and some of the corpses of the dead soldiers were not properly disposed of, so that the plague spread faster, and for a while, the plague appeared all over the Central Plains.

This time, Liu Zheng couldn't sit still.

He immediately ordered the soldiers, horses, and civilians to start the lockdown of the city, prohibit travel, and at the same time ordered the military doctors everywhere to start responding.

Liu Zheng himself went to Wu County in the fastest time and returned to his mansion.

He is going to find his famous doctor, Zhang Zhongjing!

Zhang Zhongjing's specialty is nothing else, it is to fight the plague.
