Chapter Seventy-Eight: Under the Plague
October 30, the end of the month, solar terms light snow.
Sun Quan's main force arrived at the Xiakou camp, at this time the fleet had swelled to nearly 100,000 people, and when he crossed Chibi and Lukou, he pulled the family members of LΓΌ Menghu's army.
The Xiakou camp on the south bank was in shambles, the main general Sun Jiao died of the epidemic yesterday, and Jiang Qin, the governor of the Wet Beard, was also infected with the epidemic and was seriously ill.
The two armies of Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang were infected with mild symptoms, and a new camp was built in addition to the Xiakou camp.
The plague was in front of him, where did Sun Quan dare to rest in Xiakou, led the fleet to continue south, to Fankou to rest, and did not dare to transport the family members from Jingzhou to Jiangdong and settle nearby.
You can't go back, and there is no risk to rely on if you return again.
Also on this day, Zhuge Jin arrived in Hanjin, where there was also a serious plague.
The Han River swelled, and the drowned people and animals did not flow directly into the Yangtze River, and many corpses were washed by the flood into the complex branch waters of the lower reaches of the Han River, which is the site of Guyun Mengze.
The water flow is slow, and the corpse has been soaked in it for a long time, and breeding epidemics has become a natural thing in Tian Xin's eyes.
It is also Xiahouping and Guan Ping who run fast, otherwise they will not be able to escape this epidemic.
In this kind of place, you can dig a pit and get water, but this kind of water is not the same thing as you imagine clean well water.
In the face of the epidemic, Guan Yu transported the infantry to the Jingcheng camp in the north for resettlement, leaving only the water division in Hanjin.
When Zhuge Jin came, he saw that the Han army's sailors and officials were wearing fine linen masks, and many soldiers in the Hanjin camp were carrying wooden barrels and were evenly spreading the water in the barracks.
He couldn't see it, and he didn't know that the Han army was using lime water for disinfection.
Guan Yu didn't know the effect of lime water, and Tian Xin didn't know either, but he heard that someone used lime water to disinfect the breeding shed, so he gave Guan Yu an idea with the mentality of giving it a try.
Quicklime powder is also one of the main ingredients of Jinchuang Medicine.
Anyway, since Guan Yu settled in Hanjin, the number of infected cases has been decreasing day by day, and he has vigorously promoted lime water disinfection.
Under the compulsion of the Jingzhou army, Zhuge Jin took a hot bath and changed into a fine linen crimson winter coat soaked in boiling water before appearing in front of Guan Yu.
Zhuge Jin was quite uncomfortable, and stretched out his arms: "The prince and the marquis are powerful in China, and even break my lord Wu Hou, why embarrass old people like Ge?" β
"This is for the good of Mr. Ziyu."
Guan Yu's tone couldn't see joy or anger: "Is Mr. Ziyu here to seek peace or a truce?" β
Zhuge Jin converved: "I came here to dispel the two soldiers." Our lord Wu Hou was misled by Lu Meng and Cao Cao, so he had today's events. I woke up and was quite remorseful. β
Guan Yu shook his head: "Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance is coming, and this enmity is really difficult to dissolve." Whether it is war or peace, it is not up to Guan Mou, Mr. Ziyu can go to Yizhou to listen to the judgment of King Han. However, today, the epidemic is flourishing in various parts of Jingnan, and there is also a trend of going down the river to Jiangdong, so the two families can suspend their troops to resist the epidemic. β
Zhuge Jin's face was overjoyed, and he laughed: "The benevolent act of the prince and the prince made Ge feel very guilty. β
Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly, and raised his eyelids to look at Zhuge Jin: "Wu soldiers must not take a step west over Xiakou, otherwise I will personally lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yuzhang." I don't mean to conquer the city, but to spread the plague in Jiangdong, which can kill millions of people in Jiangdong in one battle. β
"The prince said that he was laughing, he was laughing."
Zhuge Jin held out a scroll of silk books with both hands: "My lord is willing to pay a generous gift to dispel the anger of the prince and the marquis." β
"Don't look, even if he gives me a million gold, it will not be able to quench the anger in my breast. Go back and sue him, and when the epidemic stops, I will fight him in a decisive battle between Yuzhang. The epidemic has not dissipated, if he dares to send an army to the west of Xiakou, I will send troops to Jiangdong to avenge the betrayal of the alliance. β
Zhuge Jin constricted: "Prince, take Changsha and Guiyang two counties?" β
"Exactly, if the two families want to reconcile, our army can only let Xiakou in Jiangdong. If our lord King Han is not allowed to make peace, then our army will divide his troops and enter Jiaozhou. β
Guan Yu said without a smile on his face, and his voice was angry: "After the Battle of Chibi, the King of Han let the Xiangshui channel in Jiangdong, and Wu Ju of Cangwu County was a friend of the King of Han. The king of Han trusted Jiangdong, so Wu Ju also believed in Jiangdong, so he led Buqi into Jiaozhou, so that Buqi was based in Jiaozhou. Less than a year before and after, Buqi set up a banquet to behead Wu Ju in the court, and Guan blushed for Jiangdong's despicable behavior. β
"Later, your Wu Hou bullied a certain soldier and raised troops to forcibly take the three eastern counties, which shows that he is greedy and ugly."
"This time, he coaxed me with letters again and again, but he sent a large army to attack, wanting to ruin Guan Mou's reputation and disintegrate the great cause of the Han king. This enmity is so great that it is not shared. β
"Mr. Ziyu, is it ashamed to be such a virtuous king?"
What borrowed Jingzhou, the channel had been opened at that time, one took the benefit of the state, and the other took the state, obviously each took what he took, how could there be any saying of borrowing Jingzhou.
Zhuge Jin was speechless, and after a long silence, Guan Yu waved his hand: "Let's go and report back to your family Wu Hou, I will temporarily suspend the army with him, and then decide after the epidemic." If you want to surrender, you can send Yizhou to ask the Han Wang Jun. Guan has also played the Han Dynasty to reiterate the matter. β
Guan also knew that Mr. Kong Ming, the younger brother of Ling, had the intention of uniting with Wu and fighting the thieves, but Sun Quan had repeatedly betrayed the alliance and lost his trust in the world, and Wu's weak combat strength had become a laughing stock in the world. I take Jiangdong as if I was looking for things, it is better to persuade your Wu Hou to attach to the King of Han, and it is good to have a good death. β
Zhuge Jin could only return, and when he was about to leave Hanshui by speedboat, he saw a battle breaking out in front of Xiakou Water Village.
A fleet of ships heading north from downstream was intercepted by Jiang Qin's sailors, and the two sides were strangled together in a scuffle.
Zhuge Jin was welcomed to Jiang Qin's command flagship, Jiang Qin covered his face with several layers of Luo veil, coughed dryly, and asked urgently: "Mr. Ziyu, how does Guan Yu reply?" β
"Strictly order our army not to go out of the west of Xiakou, otherwise we will lead the army to attack Jiangdong directly, so that the epidemic will spread all over the six counties."
Zhuge Jin looked at the battlefield: "General, why is this?" β
"Lu Yi rebelled."
Jiang Qin's voice was cold: "Xie Jing conspired with him and seized the ship to attach himself to Guan Yu." β
In the future, there will be no Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, only Lu Boyan.
"How could Lu Boyan rebel?"
"Mr. Ziyu, the Supreme ordered General Anton to lead troops to reinforce Fankou."
Jiang Qin replied to the question, and said: "The Supreme takes Sun Boyang's eldest son Sun Lin to lead Yuzhang Taishou, and Sun Shulang's five sons as generals, and divides the troops and horses. The partial general Sun Gongli was transferred to the post of Huiji Taishou with Guangling Taishou. β
When Xu Zuo rebelled, Sun Ben's persuasion failed and he drowned; After Sun Ben's death, the eldest son Sun Lin was twenty years old and took over Sun Ben's responsibilities and subordinates.
Zhuge Jin was suddenly a little dizzy, and what was even more exaggerated was that the five sons of Jiangxia Taishou Sun Jiao were all promoted to generals in one go, which was a signal of the comprehensive reuse of the clan.
The partial general, Guangling Taishou Sun Shao's real name is Yu Shao, and his grandmother is Sun Quan's aunt.
General Anton, the veteran He Qi who had great military achievements but was suppressed, was named the Marquis of Shanyin.
Jiang Qin coughed a few times as he spoke, and he was indignant: "Our army was defeated so much, and the supreme prestige was humiliated, all because of Lu Yi's collaboration with the enemy. Mr. Ziyu, the two ends of the head rat of the Jiangdong clan are not enough to entrust big things! β
Zhuge Jin still feels that he can't turn a corner, why is Lu Yi so good at rebellion?
Xu Zuo rebelled in front, and the only relative was Sun Quan's side room, did Sun Quan still want to kill Mrs. Xu?
Now that Lu Yi is rebelling, does Sun Quan still want to go back and kill Sun Ce's daughter?
Just as he was thinking about the changes in all aspects, he saw Lu Yi and Xie Jing's troops break through the blockade of the naval division, sail into the Han River channel, and sail away.
In the battleship heading north, Lu Yi sighed.
The only eldest son, Lu Yan, was fifteen years old, standing beside him, his eyebrows burned off by the fireworks, and he was wiping his face with a spear in one hand and a wet towel in the other.
Lu Yan is the son of Lu Yi's ex-wife, and when Lu Yi showed his military talent the year before last, Sun Quan married the thirty-four-year-old Lu Yi with Sun Ce's adult daughter.
Therefore, Lu Yan is also Lu Yi's only son, and he has a deeper understanding of the entanglement between the Sun and Lu families.
At this moment, Lu Yan was in high spirits, looking at the brand-new scenery on both sides of the strait.
