However, Yuan Shao complained and complained, but what should be done still has to be done. In the face of so much money and food, Yuan Shao couldn't find a reason to refuse, but the money and food offered by the family was not so easy to collect, if he didn't vomit some blood and make a promise, how could the family stop there?

At this time, Yuan Benchu was not the northern overlord who owned the four states of Hebei and dominated the world before the Battle of Guandu. There is no contempt for everything in the future, and even the courage to suppress the Hebei family. Especially with such a terrible enemy as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao relied even more on the Hebei family.

The current situation filled Yuan Shao with a sense of urgency, whether it was Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, they were all beyond his expectations. At this time, how could he have the mind to go against the family, and devote himself to the development of forces.

The family took the initiative to pay money, food and people to help him lay down and merge the state, what reason did he have to refuse? Even if the Southern Xiongnu can be used as a help, they are alien after all, and they are far less useful than the families.

As for the consequences of doing this, Yuan Shao is difficult to take care of now, let's talk about it when the world is unified, now that he can't even take Youzhou, what's the use of thinking so far?

So although he hated Yuan Shu so much in his heart, Yuan Shao could only pinch his nose and swallow this poisonous incense bait. So Gao Lan was sent out, and the army organized by the family marched towards Bingzhou.

Although the power of the Hebei family is strong, it still takes a lot of effort to take the annexed states occupied by the Southern Xiongnu. After all, their strength lies in management and infighting, and they are not good at this kind of pure strength fighting. For this state crusade, they basically took out most of the old bottom.

But all this is worth it in their eyes, that's a feudal country! The opportunity they have dreamed of for hundreds of years is in front of them, and they have to give it a try no matter how big the price is.

is such a problem of sealing the country, and the attitude of the whole family towards Yuan Shu has changed.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a member of our family, and it will be considered for our family. We really wronged him before.

What land, what official position, in front of the feudal country is a floating cloud. For the families with profound backgrounds, land and official positions are just icing on the cake, but feudal countries are very different. Suddenly transformed from a wage earner to an entrepreneur, although it may be hard at first, but there is a rush!

As a wage earner, how can you get more salary? The boss said that if you kick you, you will never get out, and you will always be inferior. And with the feudal country, it is completely for yourself, and all the money you earn is your own, and you are willing to work hard.

For a while, the families of the world praised the Yuan family one by one, and praised Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to the sky. Many children of the family have started a new craze for defecting to the "Ming Lord".

The bomb thrown by Yuan Shu turned the whole world upside down. Almost all the princes hated Yuan Shu to the core, and all the families were clapping their hands to celebrate, except for the Yuan family.

This tremor has not yet ended, and a huge catastrophe has appeared in the Central Plains again.

Pestilence!

The previous melee in the Central Plains almost destroyed Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and the other two states also suffered a lot of losses. Countless people have died, causing a plague of immense proportions. The entire Central Plains is covered. But fortunately, there is still such a "fool" as Yuan Shu.

"How's it going?" Yuan Shu said with a frown.

Unexpectedly, without Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, this plague still broke out. But fortunately, Yuan Shu was ready.

"There is no room for optimism, the scope of this plague outbreak is too wide and too rapid, covering the entire Central Plains almost in half a month. Yuzhou and Xuzhou, in particular, were basically completely enveloped by the plague. Many people have been isolated. Xun You sighed and said.

Yuan Shu clenched his fists, how could he not hear the meaning of Xun You's words? The so-called isolation in this era is actually to gather those people infected with the plague together and imprison them, watch them die, and shoot them to death with arrows if they dare to escape.

No way, in ancient times, plague was almost something that was equated with death, and as long as it was contaminated, it could almost only wait for death.

"Didn't I spread all the basic methods of preventing the plague? What are Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande doing? Yuan Shu said angrily.

When it comes to the direct cause of the most deaths in the late Han Dynasty, military disasters can only rank third, drought and flood disasters rank second, and plague is the first.

There are dozens of plagues, large and small, and they have to break out once or twice a year, and they can easily cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of lives.

The military disaster cannot be stopped, but the plague is different, Yuan Shu has Zhang Zhongjing by his side. In the history of this goods, the whole family basically died of the plague, and then they began to die of the plague, and the whole "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" was produced.

Although Zhang Zhongjing was not so miserable in this life, Yuan Shu provided him with a lot of help and guidance, and even Zhang Zhongjing came up with a method of planting pox. Relying on this thing, Yuan Shu also made a lot of money in the hands of the family and the rich.

After all, money can be earned slowly, but there is only one life! People in this era never thought that the plague could be cured, and basically they could only wait for death after they got it, except to pray to heaven. Pox is a magic skill that is hard to find.

The prescription for the plague, Zhang Zhongjing, was also sorted out. Herbs in this era are not worth much at all, after all, there are few doctors, and herbs are rotten on the street. 100-year-old ginseng, 100-year-old He Shou Wu and the like are gnawed as turnips.

Yuan Shu had stockpiled a large amount of medicine early on, and once there were signs of plague under his command, he would immediately suppress it. In the past few years, Jiangdong has not heard of any large-scale plagues, and hundreds of people die from the plague in a year.

"Lord, Liu Bei and Cao Cao want to take care of it, but they don't have the money, let alone the energy. For them, it is better to deal with the plague than to save money, time, and benefits. ”

Xun You can understand Cao Cao and Liu Bei's thoughts very well, and they have basically done this in times of war throughout the ages. Even if the people have complaints, it's a big deal to pull out a substitute for the dead ghost in the end to make the people angry.

The most typical person in history is Bai Qi. captured 400,000 Zhao troops and asked King Qin Zhaoxiang what to do? King Qin Zhaoxiang neither replied nor allocated grain and grass, and Bai Qi understood.

There is no food, and there are so many captives, what should I do? Kill? Is there any other way than this path?

This kind of angry and resentful thing King Qin Zhaoxiang didn't dare to do it easily, and letting Bai Qi take the blame was the best way. Without the acquiescence of King Qin Zhaoxiang, how could Bai Qi dare to do this?

As the master of the people, the ability to shake the pot is not much worse. Didn't Cao Cao also borrow the heads of the innocent grain and grass officials under his command to appease the anger of the soldiers because he didn't have enough grain and grass!
