Chapter 82: Cats

Huya Mountain Water Village, early morning on the ninth day of the first month.

The sky was drifting with fine rain, Tian Xin climbed the mountain and looked north, wearing a hat and a robe.

I am afraid that snow will only fall in the mountains north of Linfu, and there is almost no sign of snow on both sides of the Yangtze River.

It also snowed in the Yangtze River basin, but it wasn't yet snowy.

The footsteps came from far and near, Tian Xin turned his head to look, and saw Lu Yi and Xu Zuo coming together, Lu Yi was holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and Xu Zuo bowed his hand in front of him: "General, Mr. Bo Yan has a lot of questions to ask." ”

Tian Xin bowed his hand to Lu Yi: "Mr. sent someone to summon him, why bother to come in person?" ”

"Since it is a consultation, it should have been in person."

Lu Yi said and spread out the bamboo slip in his hand and said: "The general has five strategies for epidemic prevention and seven rescue strategies in "Epidemic Prevention and Rescue". There are five strategies for epidemic prevention: water purification, cremation, isolation, raising cats, and preparing medicines. But I don't know what it means to have a cat. ”

"Cats?"

Tian Xin heard that the cat in Lu Yi's mouth was 'Miao', because everyone raised cats to catch mice to protect the seedlings and warehouses, and after a long time, cats were different from raccoon dogs and had a proper name.

Tian Xin didn't change his words, and it was still a cat voice: "Raising cats is meant to prevent rats, and rat-proof is meant to isolate." In addition to the movement of humans and animals, rodents have played an important role in today's epidemics. ”

Lu Yi suddenly asked: "What the general meant, but rats are not only harmful to the fields, but also to spread epidemics?" ”

"Yes, it's just that there is a lack of cat breeds among the people. I have sent a letter to the prince to raise a group of cats in Gangneung City, with a view to raising and breeding large populations. ”

Tian Xin said with a wry smile: "It's just that my book is widely circulated, and the price of cats in Jiangling City has skyrocketed. ”

Lu Yi asked: "How did the general conclude that rodents spread the disease?" ”

Tian Xin smiled, his smile was a little cold: "If Mr. Boyan doesn't believe it, you can take clean cold boiling water and drown ten rats, soak them for five days and nights." Then select 100 athletes and make them drink water to see if they will be infected with the epidemic. ”

Lu Yi reacted and gave up his hand: "It's urgent." ”

Tian Xin returned the salute: "Mr. Boyan, Tian only knows many things but doesn't know why. ”

There's no need to explain in detail, and you don't believe you can argue it.

In the face of the plague, in order to save his life, no matter how ridiculous rumors can be spread.

You don't have to explain your own theories that can stand the test, and you don't have to preach, so you don't need to pull the other party to explain the truth and explore the principle.

"Epidemic Prevention and Rescue" has a total of 12 strategies, and it has been spread for less than ten days, and the price of cats in Gangneung City has skyrocketed.

Tian Xin always felt that he had lost a lot of money, but he felt that money was meaningless, and he seemed to be free from his dependence on money.

Guan Yu did not block the "Epidemic Prevention and Rescue", but ordered all cities, counties, markets, settlements, townships and other nodes with relatively dense population flow to set up notices and copy more than 500 words of the 12 policies of "Epidemic Prevention and Rescue".

The value of cats will rise rapidly through the outward flow of merchants from the north and Jiangdong.

Shu brocade, gold, cats, war horses, and grain may be the hard currency in the next two or three decades.

At this time, the trumpet sounded in the water village under Huya Mountain, and Tian Xin and the others walked down Huya Mountain and went to the camp for dinner.

During the banquet, Xu Zuo sat opposite Tian Xin with a dinner plate: "Forgive me, general, it's not that Lu Boyan is disrespectful, but there are many people who have died from the epidemic among the Jiangdong clans and people." Lu Boyan's wife died of the epidemic. ”

How many people can be killed by a sword in war?

Hunger and disease are the main causes of population loss.

Tian Xin picked off the bones of the loose fish, put it in his mouth and chewed the delicious river fish, and said with a smile: "Brother Chengzhen doesn't need to see outside, I just don't like to be questioned." When I first wrote "Twelve Strategies for Epidemic Prevention and Rescue", many military officials were also puzzled, and they asked again and again, which disturbed me. ”

Before breakfast was finished, Huang Quan walked into the camp tent with a scroll of silk books, and said to the generals who were eating: "The former general and General Zuo issued an order together, so that the Huya general Tian Xiaoxian led 4,000 soldiers, and Xu Chengzhen was the deputy general to lead the 3,000 sailors, and took the Xiangjiang River to move to Quanling City. Before noon on the 15th, if there was no recall order, he led his troops to cross the Lingqu and crusade against Buqi to take Jiaozhou. ”

Tian Xin put down his chopsticks and got up to catch the military order, looked up and down, and asked, "Escort, when will I leave?" ”

"After dinner, you can go on the expedition, the three thousand sailors have already been formed, Xiaoxian can lead two thousand soldiers, and one battalion of strong men can be selected in Wuling, Changsha, and Lingling along the way. The headquarters of the Guiyang Commander can be filial piety and other divisions, and attack in coordination. ”

Huang Quan said and looked at Lu Yi and Xie Jing and other righteous generals from Jiangdong families and wealthy families behind him: "Xie Chengming is brave and good at fighting, can you be willing to be a fake Sima in the Huya Military Camp?" ”

Xie Jing got up and arched his hand: "I am willing to go." ”

Now that Sun Quan has been used in a large area, the clan and the northerners are reused, Xie Jing is from the Shanyin Xie family, although there is a Mrs. Xie in the family by Sun Quan's side. But as a Jiangdong Haoqiang, he naturally knows some truths, if Sun Quan wants to kill someone, how can he be merciful because of a Mrs. Xie who has no heirs?

The situation in Jiangdong has been laid out, and Sun Quan is ready to rely on the clan and Huaisi generals to thoroughly clean the Jiangdong gate valve at this critical moment when Cao Cao and Guan Yu are unable to forge ahead.

It is inevitable to carry out Sun Ce's unfinished business to the end.

Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have been able to explain the defeat of Jiangling to the people of the world, nor would he have been able to explain the defeat of Maicheng.

If Lu Yi is through Han, everything can be explained.

It's not that he Sun Quan can't do it, but Lu Yi and Guan Yu set a trap for him, which led him into the ambush circle arranged by the Jingzhou army.

Lu Yi Tonghan, then the Jiangdong family must have accomplices.

In order to avoid similar fiascos, and in order to give the Huaisi generals and clan generals an explanation, they had to completely wipe out the Jiangdong clan.

After killing the Jiangdong clan, Sun Quan, the clan, and the Huaisi generals will naturally be able to eat and drink enough, and the forces directly under them will increase instead of decreasing.

Xie Jing didn't want to die, so he simply followed Lu Yi to break through and break away from Jiangdong.

Not only Lu Yi and Xie Jing, but even Yu Chuan is also on Sun Quan's suspicion list, and the ranking is still above Lu Yi.

Yu Tuo was born in the Jiangdong clan, and he was a maverick wild warrior, a fierce man who carried a spear and followed Sun Ce to kill left and right.

And Yu Fan has almost no friends, and his only two friends have passed away, one is called Pang Tong and the other is called Lu Ji.

Pang Tong Lu Ji, in the eyes of Sun Quan, has a very bad image, one is Zhou Yu's henchman, who defected to Liu Bei with an important plan to attack Shu; One is a child of the enemy family, and when he dies, he will leave a proverb to curse the Sun family for only sixty years of fate in Jiangdong.

If it weren't for Yu Tuojing's medical skills, he would not have reactivated Yu Tuo, who had been exiled to Jiaozhou, when he attacked Jingzhou.

Sun Quan is almost certainly a leak of Yu Fang's secrets, and only Yu Turn, who acts as a deputy envoy, can grasp such a secret news that Mi Fang was plotted against him.

It's just that Yu Tuo's reaction speed is faster than Sun Quan's speed, and before Sun Quan blocked the ferries of the Yangtze River, Yu Tuo took his eleven sons and daughters to hide in the grain ship, slowly went up the river, and sailed into Hanjin by Han River.

The forces of the Jiangdong clan are intertwined, and there are many people who are about to raise troops to resist Sun Quan's massacre, if they are just bent on fleeing for their lives, some have financial resources, connections and influence.

In this way, on the evening of the twelfth day of the leap month, Yu turned into the port of Hanjin.

Facing the stunned Zhuge Jin, Yu flipped his palm and pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "Marquis Wu was defeated, but he was angry with Lu Boyan and Yu, which can be described as confused." The emperor and queen of heaven are for example, Yu has not leaked secrets before, and Lu Boyan can also be guaranteed. I expect that the leaker must be close to Sun Quan! ”
