Mrs. Ding's family left, Sun Yi and the others also went to their own games, the hall was a lot quieter, Sun Ce drank the remaining porridge in the bowl, and sighed while picking his teeth, asking Yuan Quan to take care of it more. Ding Ruyi's mother and son are both hard bones, and they can't help but ask for help, which is not easy for them. Mrs. Ding is also a very face-saving person, she said that the supply is enough for fear of being hard-mouthed, and suddenly increased by five people, including two and a half children, her quota is definitely not enough, it is estimated that she paid for it in Pingyu to buy it.

"Food is easy to manage, medicine is a problem." Yuan Quan asked someone to bring another bowl of ginger soup and said, "Hurry up and drink it." Winter is coming, and it's easy to catch a cold, so if you don't move back to the workshop, I'll arrange for someone to install all the wall panels and block the windows. I've got a couple of sachets, and you'll bring one later, just in case. ”

Sun Ce felt that Yuan Quan was a little worried. Ding Ruyi and Xiahou said that they had been coughing, but he was in good health, not only practicing boxing every day, but also swimming in the water whenever he had the opportunity, how could he catch a cold. Besides, he has always hated carrying sachets or something, isn't it difficult for a strong man?

"What's wrong with the drug? Got sick in the workshop? ”

"Recently, there have been a lot more, and most of them are infected by newly recruited craftsmen." Yuan Quan walked over with a sachet and tied it to Sun Ce's belt without saying anything. "These homeless people are hungry and full, and some time ago they often slept in the open, and they suffered from the wind and cold, and the medicine prepared in the workshop ran out......"

"I'll go!" Sun Ce's face suddenly changed greatly, he reached out to hold Yuan Quan's wrist, and said urgently: "Those craftsmen are sick a lot? ”

Yuan Quan was taken aback. "It's not too much, about thirty percent." She suddenly thought of something, and her face changed drastically. "Husband, you don't mean ......" She subconsciously covered her mouth and didn't dare to say any more.

Sun Ce didn't care what Yuan Quan would think, so he jumped up and ran towards the military planning office. Yuan Quan also stood up, and greeted Yin Ji and Ellan repeatedly, asking them to immediately arrange for people to clean the water pavilion comprehensively, and prepare sacrifices to worship the god of plague. When Yin Ji and Elan heard this, they were also frightened, and hurriedly complied.

The water pavilion was suddenly busy.

Sun Ce rushed to the military planning office, and saw Guo Jiaxu clenching his fists, covering his mouth, and coughing lightly while explaining things to Pang Tong, Zhang Si and others. Seeing Sun Ce coming in a hurry, Guo Jia was a little surprised. "General, what's wrong?"

Sun Ce stared at Guo Jia. "Are you sick? Wasn't it okay last night? ”

"I guess I got a little cold last night." Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's not in the way, I've already taken medicine, drank ginger soup, finished arranging, and I'll go back to sleep later, sweat, and I'll be fine." ”

"Do you still have a bit of a headache?" Sun Ce put his hand on Guo Jia's forehead, feeling a little hot, and worried that it was cold hands, and was about to try it with his lips, Guo Jia pushed him away and said with a smile: "Okay, it's a little hot, but it's okay, I know it myself." ”

"You've got a few farts." Sun Ce said sharply: "Many of the displaced people who came with Yu Ji are sick, and it is likely that it is an epidemic. Immediately start the plan and conduct a thorough inventory. Zhong Hei, you hurry back to Pingyu to inform Ling Zun and let him get ready. Nearly 30,000 displaced people are in the surrounding areas of Pingyu, which is the biggest hidden danger. Shi Yuan, six hundred miles urgently, please Nanyang Materia Medica to send medical craftsmen to reinforce. ”

When Guo Jia, Pang Tong and the others heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and after looking at each other for a while, they suddenly responded. The Military Strategy Office immediately switched to the highest alert and combat readiness, and the military advisers acted separately according to the plan prepared earlier. A large map was hung up, the routes passed by the displaced people were marked, and the locations they were in now were also marked one by one, the locations that needed to be highlighted were circled in red lines, the locations where doctors and medicines might be provided were also circled, how to mobilize supplies, how to block the epidemic, and presented on the map one by one.

Sun Ce paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his heart pounding. This Yu Ji is a plague god, right? Coincidentally, he landed from Donglai, passing through the areas of Langya and Pengcheng, which were the places of the great battle a few months ago. If it's really an epidemic, then it's a big problem.

"General, don't be too nervous, it's not very likely that there will be an epidemic." Guo Jia walked over and stood a few steps away from Sun Ce. "It's been four or five months since the war ended, and if it was the epidemic, there should have been news from Qingxu's side a long time ago. I guess the homeless people are still suffering from the wind chill......"

"Wind chill is also contagious, and it can kill people." Sun Ce interrupted Guo Jia and secretly blamed himself. Guo Jia knows little about infectious diseases, he should be prepared, in his previous life, first SARS, then avian flu, several major epidemics in a row, he is too clear about the lethality of the epidemic. Moreover, when I read the history books in my previous life, I often regretted the many outbreaks of the epidemic in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, why is it so negligent now.

The spread of the epidemic is usually related to the movement of people, and the more frequent the movement, the faster the spread of the epidemic. The reason for the successive outbreaks of the global epidemic in the 21st century is because of the convenient transportation, with the help of advanced transportation facilities such as aviation, the epidemic can spread to major cities around the world during the incubation period. In ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, epidemics were usually associated with trade routes, which could not only circulate goods, but also spread the epidemic. The military and displaced people are often an important medium for the spread of the epidemic, and war is also one of the main reasons for the epidemic. Wars often take place on major transportation routes, and they are extremely convenient to spread.

Therefore, the ancients summed up an experience: after the soldiers, there will be a great epidemic.

There are not many places where there is a big war this year, the junction of Qingxu and Yanzhou is one, and Youzhou is one, but both places are related to themselves. There is also a possibility of an outbreak in Guanzhong, where the drought occurs, but the death toll is limited, and it has already been settled by the autumn harvest, so even if there is an epidemic, the impact will not be too great.

Sun Ce felt that his brain was a little messy, walked back and forth a few times, and saw that Guo Jia was still standing opposite, looking at him helplessly, and frowned.

"Bonghyo, what's wrong?"

"General, even if there is an epidemic, it is useless for you to be anxious. In the past few decades, there has been a continuous epidemic, there is nothing strange, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, the epidemic is coming to find a doctor, if there is a big epidemic, it is useless to be in a hurry. At this juncture, it's important to be prepared to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire. ”

Sun Ce thought for a moment. "Who are you worried about? Yuan Shao? ”

Guo Jia nodded. Yuan Shao has the support of small and medium-sized families in northern Jizhou, and his strength has skyrocketed, and he must use this opportunity to expand his territory and reward those who follow him in order to attract more support. When the judge and others are threatened, they will also take the initiative to fight and strive for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Zhang Ze was entrusted by the imperial court to hold Youzhou, and if he could negotiate with Yuan Shao, he would not refuse. If the negotiation fails, he will focus on defense and will not take the initiative to attack. If Yuan Shao can win a quick victory over Youzhou, if he can't win quickly, and there is a big epidemic in Yuzhou, and Jizhou is unharmed, he is likely to make peace with Zhang Ze, let Zhang Ze suppress Gongsun Zhan, and then wave his army to the south and take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

"Can Jizhou be safe?"

"Possibly. There have been no major wars in Jizhou in the past two years, and the possibility of an epidemic is much smaller. ”
