In the early morning, the mist on the Fenshui River was steaming, tens of thousands of Hun soldiers drove their horses forward, sending out the summoning sound of "yo hoo, yo hoo", countless sabers were raised high, pointing to the gloomy sky, at that moment, the Qingzhou soldiers seemed to be overwhelmed by this earth-shattering momentum, unable to organize effective resistance, and the Hun soldiers successfully attacked Liu Bei's camp.

There was no one in the village, the corpses of slaughtered war horses were everywhere, the sawdust shavings discarded from shipbuilding were piled up indiscriminately, and the broken saddles were thrown one by one on the edge of the abandoned tents. Liu Bei fled in a panic, the breakfast fire had just been set up, and he fled the camp before it was even extinguished.

The Hun soldiers were stunned for a moment, let out an earth-shattering cheer, and rushed to the tents abandoned by the Qingzhou soldiers and began to rob each other.

This thing is the treasure of the grassland tribe, it is made of thick coarse cloth, brushed with a layer of tung oil, moisture-proof and rain-proof, the big tent just lives for a family, migration, camping all the use.

The Huns in the rear were unwilling to get nothing, and rushed into the camp, sorting the remains of war horses and broken saddles, and no one noticed, and the discarded sawdust shavings began to emit green smoke.

"Boom", sawdust from the green smoke to the beginning of the burn. burned, and the Huns, who had a heart, began to dial the fire, intending to put out the fire.

"Boom", peel off the sawdust surface, revealing the underneath. The fire oil tank stacked on the surface, the sawdust soaked in oil suddenly burst out of a raging fire, at the beginning, the fire point was still one or two, soon, the fire was connected into a piece, the high temperature made the Hun soldiers snatch the camp tent in their hands also began to burn, the yellow smoke was swirling, and the Hun soldiers were full of tears, and could not breathe.

The yellow smoke rose and went straight to the sky, far away, in the Fenshui River. On the wooden boat, Liu Bei showed a satisfied smile: no matter whether the Hun soldiers noticed that the momentum was wrong at this moment, the fire was beyond the control of the Hun soldiers.

"Don't cross the river, go downstream downstream, in the Hongdong downstream of the Fenshui. Landing. Liu Bei ordered.

There was a loud bang in the direction of the camp. The mountains shook, the river was flooded with waves, and the sound covered Liu Bei's last sentence, only to see Liu Bei's lips moving, but he couldn't hear any sound.

"The Huns are finished", on the wooden boat, the soldiers silently faced each other and reached a consensus.

When Liu Bei came to Xihe, he set fire to it, and he was left over from the siege of Yecheng. All the canisters of fire oil were carried with the army. A fire was put on the mountain shallowly, and after a few days of camp attack and defense, the fire oil tank was useless, and many soldiers thought that Liu Bei had changed his character, and the remaining fire oil tank would be brought back to Yecheng as it was. Unexpectedly, when evacuating, Liu Bei covered all the oil cans with sawdust.

Sawdust, with a little spark can be in the dust. It burns silently when buried, and once it is turned out, it will burn violently when it sees the air, and an open flame will emerge. The cooking fire in the camp concealed the fine smoke from the sawdust. By the time the yellow smoke in the oil tank rises, it will not be far from the deflagration of picric acid.

"Boom, boom", in the continuous misconduct sound, Liu Bei went down the river. The mist gradually dissipated, and the left part of the Xiongnu had not yet appeared, but at this moment, it was irrelevant whether they appeared or not.

Historical records: In the later period of Emperor Wu, due to the fierce offensive of the Han army, 'the Xiongnu heard that the Han army was coming, so that the witch buried sheep and cattle, and cursed the Han army on the roads and water sources of the Han army', which was called "curse" or "Gu" at that time, and was actually infected with a virus unique to the grassland and not found in the Han land. The Han army drank water from which the carcasses of cattle and sheep were set up, and the plague broke out in the army. Obviously, these cattle and sheep are "biological weapons" that have been specially poisoned by Hu Wu. This is also the first generation of biological and chemical weapons recorded in human history.

Huo Quai, a famous general in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, died of illness at the age of twenty-four after returning from the expedition against the Huns. The young general has always been physically fit and brave. After returning from the expedition, he suddenly fell ill and died. Now it seems that it is likely to be related to the "biological warfare" of the Huns.

The plague unleashed by the Xiongnu Huwu through plagued horses and plagued animals, known as "typhoid fever" at the time, was the first generation of biological and chemical weapons recorded in human history. Due to the lack of effective anti-epidemic means, from the late period of Emperor Wu to the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin dynasties, this epidemic occurred repeatedly every 10 to 20 years, and it continued. Politically, economically, religiously, culturally and medically, they have all had a profound impact and changes on Chinese history.

In the sixth year of Guanghe (183 AD), the three brothers of Zhang Jiao took advantage of the epidemic among the people, "taught with witchcraft, set up the 'Taiping Dao', and the spell water was used to cure people's diseases, and the people believed in it." In more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of disciples. The party falsely claimed that "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious", and the government was burned, and the state was looted, and the world responded. This is known as the "Yellow Turban Uprising." ”

According to historical records, four years later, that is, in 195 AD, a large-scale typhoid fever outbreak began to break out in the whole country, and in less than ten years, it caused nearly half of the population of the Central Plains and a decrease of 6% of the population in the south. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were many wealthy families who went south to avoid trouble, the population of the Han Dynasty was more than 50 million, and the south with few wars would have a population of 15 million, however, the Wu State only had a population of more than 1 million in the end, what happened? The answer is simple: typhoid fever.

A few hundred years later, the migration of the Northern Xiongnu tribes to Europe also brought a plague to Europe for 400 years, which deeply affected the trajectory of world history, and this period was called the "Dark Ages" in Europe.

In 191, Liu Biao quelled all the turmoil in Jingzhou. The soldiers were strong and strong, and when they were preparing to plot against the Central Plains, the plague shattered Liu Biao's plot. Many people who look at the Three Kingdoms think that Liu Biao has no ambitions, sits in the rich Jingzhou, and does not want to forge ahead, in fact, Liu Biao even began to build the emperor's chariots and horses privately at that time, and it was typhoid fever that disrupted his steps.

After Zhang Xian's rebellion was suppressed, Liu Biao appointed Zhang Zhongjing, a wealthy scholar, as the Changsha Taishou under the recommendation of the famous scholar Wang Ji, who was the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing. According to normal history, Huang Zhong should have guarded the city gates under his men. In 195 A.D., when the typhoid fever broke out on a large scale again, Zhang Zhongjing tried his best to heal the people in office, and later, due to the large-scale death of the clan chief of typhoid fever, Zhang Zhongjing was heartbroken, resigned and returned to his hometown in Nanyang, and began to study the treatment of typhoid fever. In the preface to "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", he said sadly: "The Yu clan has many clans, and there are two hundred to Yu. In the past ten years, two-thirds of the people have died, and seven out of ten have died of typhoid fever. ”

Zhang Zhongjing's typhoid prescription is one of the few Chinese medicine prescriptions that has been recognized as effective by later generations (his thirst-quenching pill for diabetes was recognized as an ineffective prescription by later generations, and later, after the corresponding Western medicine ingredients were added, this prescription began to be reused). Although Zhang Zhongjing once served as a taishou, he was also from a wealthy family, and because he was good at fiddling with strange and obscene skills (he liked to treat the common people), he was deeply despised by Confucian scholars, and even disdained to leave a biography for him in history.

"The strategic goal has been achieved, and the rest is to isolate the Guards Corps", Liu Bei smiled with relief: "Fortunately, there are not many people, and the time is close to winter, so it is difficult for the disease to spread." Well, they were all pulled to the island outside Qinglu Port (now Qingdao Port), and they said that they would supervise the construction of Qinglu Port and allow them to return to Guangrao in the spring of next year. ”

On July 27 (September 3 of the Gregorian calendar, the lunar calendar is expressed as: Bingshen Month has not been the day), Xun Yu led a large group of people and horses, staggered all the way, and entered Le'an County.

August 5 is the time of the Qingzhou big examination, and on this day, Qingzhou conducts the qualifications for meritorious service and benefiting the people, as well as the entrance examination for military academies and colleges and universities. Candidates from the newly conquered four counties of Bohai and Hejian need the recommendation of the local elders (gentry) to take the exam. Xun Yu led the selected new candidates.

I heard that Guangrao is rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Xun Yu has always wanted to go and see, but unfortunately he was hijacked by Liu Bei the previous time, and he did not enter the door, and then, everything was complicated and there was no leisure. Now that he has finally settled down, Xun Yu plans to participate in the prestigious Guangrao Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival in the name of escorting the candidates.

As soon as you enter Le'an, its scenery is completely different from other counties, the whole Qingzhou can almost be said to be built in a large green and vast forest, along the road fruit trees are densely planted, every village and town is completely blocked by tall trees, you must go close to see clearly, in the distance can only see dense fruit forests.

Since Liu Bei came to power, Qingzhou began to prohibit the felling of trees in the sub-districts. After the establishment of the Lei Lou Library, the use of stone for construction became fashionable for a while. The people of Qingzhou got rid of the wooden structure of the house, and in accordance with Liu Bei's order, they cherished every forest and every tree they owned, and whenever they needed to cut down some trees, they would replant the same number of saplings in a short time.

The abundant forest products here have brought rolling financial resources to Qingzhou, because the forest products are abundant, especially some unique products, such as a large number of wild animals, fruits, mushrooms, honey, wild vegetables, etc., or eat themselves, or can make wine, or exchange for grain from the neighboring Xuzhou and Sanhan, which are two places rich in grain, and the wealth of the people of Qingzhou has become the leader of the world for a while.

Successive governments have imposed restrictions on commerce, such as monopolising the salt industry, banning winemaking, or setting up roadblocks to impose heavy taxes. Qingzhou merchants can't help it, it adopts the landing tax (after the transaction is completed, after the completion of the ground tax) collection system, so that the counties in order to complete the tax, the implementation of many preferential policies for businessmen, road repair is also one of them. Every year, the migrant workers in the counties spend most of their labor repairing roads and ditches. Since Le'an, the roads are all flat concrete structures. The flowers and trees on the roadside are flourishing and the fruit trees are fragrant, and the counties are afraid of leaving a bad influence on the merchants, causing the whole Qingzhou to be like a big garden or a big forest. Along the way, Xun Yu is particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Guo Jia and Cheng Yu have arrived in Yecheng, but unfortunately Liu Xuande happened to be out on the expedition and didn't see these two people." Xun Yu sat in the carriage, shook his head and thought about it with the shaking of the body: "After Liu Bei entered the state, there was suddenly no news. I don't know how long they will stay in Yecheng. ”

However, this Liu Bei seems to really live up to the name of being delicious and lazy. Since Gong Jing, Qingzhou has implemented a system of decentralization, with civil officials managing internal affairs, judges managing torture, military officers managing public security and the military, and the Senate managing official supervision. After the implementation of this system, although Liu Bei has not stayed in Guangrao since last year, only cares about the east and the west, and has completely become a big shopkeeper in political affairs, and now there is no news, however, the operation of the Qingzhou government has not been affected at all.

"It seems that this unique lazy person, the set of political power system set up, is really not useless", Xun Yu knew Liu Bei's ability very well in his heart, but the habit he had developed for many days made him involuntarily bring a tone of reproach between his words.

Recently, there was no news about Liu Bei's whereabouts, which caused a brief panic at the top, and then he was quickly suppressed by Frustration and Tian Feng - "The lord is not in Qingzhou, the young lord (Liu Feng) is still there, and the master mother is still there, what are you panicking about?" Moreover, the lord dared to challenge Xianbei with 200 horses, and now he led 10,000 horses to the west, and he could get out of the encirclement even if he was not good. Besides, when the lord left, he had already made up his mind, and when you were so flustered, did you want to follow the example of the people of the plains and abandon the people for two years? ”

The words of Frustration and Tian Feng completely dispelled the panic of high-level officials. The high-level officials stabilized, the lower-level officials did not know the specific situation, the entire official system was operating as usual, and at this moment it had entered the sphere of influence in Qingzhou, Xun Yu could not see the slightest abnormality from the people in Tianmo on the side of the road.

"Lazy people have their own lazy blessings", Xun Yu sighed. In the past, officials worked hard day by day, adjudicating cases, managing household registration files, collecting taxes and taxes, reorganizing armaments, and so on, however, the rule of officials was gradually. Liu Bei let go of the people, didn't care about anything, and the officials were few but the officials were clear. The way of inaction may really be a good way to govern the country.

On the side of the road, under the shade of trees, a small courtyard was gradually revealed. An old man is sitting on a deck chair on the side of the road, lazily basking in the late autumn sun. "Up and down, there are many lazy people in Qingzhou", Xun Yu pouted and said, "Rest for a while." ”

A candidate ran close to the old man and asked, "Old man, how far is Luowo City from here?" ”

The old man glared at the examinee unhappily, lazily pointed to the road sign not far away, and said nothing.

The examinee's anger swelled up, and he was about to attack, but his eyes stayed on the old man's right hand flipping the placket of his shirt - the badge of a sixth-class lord, this old man was actually a sixth-class lord.

The lordship is divided into nine classes and has no right of inheritance. The titles of Lord of the 6th to 9th ranks are given to the father of meritorious service. This old man has the title of a sixth-class lord, and his son's merits must not be simple, but he is not a person who can be easily offended.

The candidate immediately put his feet together and saluted: "Sir, may I ask if we can rest here." ”

The old man nodded, pointed to the house on the side of the road, and was about to speak, when Xun Yu's carriage happened to slowly approach him. The old man didn't have time to answer, he jumped up like lightning, glanced at Xun Yu carefully, and lazily went to the chair: "The things in the house are complete, what you need, go and get it yourself." ”

Xun Yu was inexplicable, and when he was puzzled, the old man jumped up like lightning again, saluted an officer who was escorting the candidates at the end of the line, and said respectfully: "Sir, please come in, the old rules are old, you can do it yourself." ”

Xun Yu rolled his eyes, looked at the officer and the old man, and immediately understood the reason why the old man was in front of him. It turned out that although he was a high-ranking official, he did not have a knighthood. Although the officer was small, his title was higher than that of the old man, and when he saw this scene, the old man naturally became respectful, but he was respectful to the officer.

The officer nodded, turned to the examinee and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this kind of roadside shop is a rest shop for farmers to earn spare money when they are not working. Behind the door, there is a form indicating the price of various things, take what you take, and put the money on the table yourself. If you need change, ask the old gentleman. Remember, Qingzhou's laws are strict, and you are all promising people, so don't lose your future because of small mistakes. ”

The candidates agreed and approached the store. Xun Yu also got out of the carriage and approached the shop. At the door, a stone tablet attracted his attention: "From today on, in this city, all ethnic groups and people are equal to each other!" High-ranking officials are rewarded for their merits, and they are not allowed to pass them on to their descendants; Shinong industry and commerce, according to their talents and hiring, do not bury in the reckless; The Qiangrong and Hudi ethnic groups should treat each other as brothers and sisters, and there must be no words that are not of our race and their hearts must be different; The people of the southeast, northwest, and central should be relatives and friends with each other, and there should be no selfishness in the geographical location of the family gate; Those who are in high positions will receive clear rewards and punishments, and they cannot be different from person to person. ”

"Hey, what is this? Why is it here? Xun Yu pointed to the stone tablet and asked, thought about it, and added another title: "Old man, can you tell me?" ”
