Chapter 361: Hua Tuo's Prediction
"My lord, Yuan Shao's army has retreated."
The messenger reported the information he had received.
Yuan Shao retreated!
This news, for Gongsun Zhan, is simply explosive news.
"How did Yuan Shao lose?" Gongsun Chan asked in surprise.
You must know that earlier he had too much expectations for Yuan Shao's attack on Yecheng. Yuan Shao was defeated, which was completely different from Gongsun Zhan's expectations.
Therefore, Gongsun Chan wanted to know how Yuan Shao was defeated.
"Lu Bu fought in front of the battle......
The messengers came one by one, "In the end, Yuan Shao retreated. ”
Gongsun Chan and his henchmen listened carefully as if they were listening to a story.
Hearing that Yuan Shao had finally retreated, he almost fainted.
Everyone looked at each other. It sounds quite thrilling, what four companies, what counter-killing, but in fact, not a single battle was fought, and not even a small soldier was lost.
and retreated.
Is there any mistake?
Yuan Shao: Are you going to play?
Isn't it fun to lead tens of thousands of troops across hundreds of miles?
Stupidity!
Coward!
Gongsun Chan gave a pertinent evaluation and was very annoyed by Yuan Shao's actions.
You must know that Gongsun Chan is still waiting for the news of Yuan Shao's victory, so as to give Qin Ye a knife in the back.
This is probably the only time in his life that he hopes Yuan Shao will win.
But Yuan Shao got this for him.
And, with Yuan Shao's retreat, Gongsun Chan was about to start carrying all the pressure.
On the ground in Jizhou, he was the only one left to face Qin Ye.
Will Qin Ye let him go?
"Lord, something is wrong. Qin Ye led a large army and was advancing in the direction of Nanpi. ”
At this time, there was a careful work, and I was very nervous.
It seems that this meticulous work has figured out some things, not to mention Gongsun Zhan and these people.
What to do?
How to face Qin Ye?
Gongsun Chan was sure that with Qin Ye's current strength and external environment, he could completely mobilize an army of more than 60,000 to besiege him.
And Gongsun Chan only has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Nanpi, and among them there are 10,000 strong soldiers with little combat effectiveness.
After a long ordeal, until it was dark.
Gongsun Zhan, Guan Jing and others also did not come up with a way to fight Qin Ye.
"Lord, let's give up the Jizhou region." Guan Jing said gloomily.
Everyone looked at each other.
Gongsun Zhan's face twitched for a while, but he was too unwilling.
You must know that in the later generations, at this time, it was the period of hegemony in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, even Yuan Shao had to retreat.
And now, they have to make a move to give up their territory.
Which hegemon with great ambitions can withstand this?
Brother Sun Yue also felt that retreating was the right choice, after all, he really couldn't beat others now, but he was full of worry, "Mr. Guan Jing, what should we do if we retreat and Qin Ye catches up?" ”
After the retreat, Guan Jing still had some opinions, so he said: "The lord can build a defense line in Yidi, which is the only road leading from Jizhou to Youzhou, and Yishui is the barrier. The lord can defend the river and build a fortress. ”
In ancient times, logistics were very difficult, and it was impossible for a large army to attack the enemy without taking the main road.
And Yishui, in the western part of Hebei Province, originates from Yi County and enters the Juma River in the south. Jing Ke entered Qin to assassinate the King of Qin, and Prince Yan Dan was different from this.
There is also a poem that says: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.
Gongsun Zhan and the others all remembered this famous sentence, and they felt that this was the current Qin Ye.
As a result, Gongsun Chan made a very decisive decision.
He began to evacuate Nanpi.
Moreover, he was not prepared to leave an intact place for Qin Ye.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhan began to capture the strong men, took these strong men as slaves, built Yijing fortress for him, and opened up the wasteland for farming.
For a time, more than 100,000 young and middle-aged men and women in Nanpi City were coerced and became slaves of Gongsun Zhan, which greatly enriched Gongsun Zhan's family background.
…………
On the other hand, in Yanzhou East County.
In a quiet courtyard in the middle of the city.
An old man with childish hair and full of energy was hurriedly packing up.
The two young men looked at their master and were very puzzled.
You've just settled down here, so why do you want to leave all of a sudden?
Wu Pu asked, "Teacher, what happened in such a hurry?" ”
Fan Ah also watched with wide eyes.
This old man is none other than the famous miracle doctor Hua Tuo.
"There will be a big epidemic after the flood, so we immediately packed up and headed to Jinan." Hua Tuo said.
The two disciples' expressions suddenly became solemn.
They admire their mentors very much, and how many wealthy nobles give them placements, but the mentors don't want these. On the contrary, there is an epidemic there, and the teacher is to travel long distances and endure all the hardships to help the people.
So the two disciples didn't say anything more, but hurriedly packed their bags, followed their master, and left this peaceful place.
Due to the great flooding of the Yellow River, coupled with the territory of Qin Ye and Cao Cao in the middle reaches, there are perfect flood control methods. Their territory did not receive the massive flooding, which made the downstream areas even more devastated.
It can be said that it is the first level of disaster in history.
Almost all the floods poured into the northwest of Qingzhou and the southeast of Jizhou.
Thousands of miles into Ze country is by no means apocryphal.
Wu Pu and Fan A followed their mentor and marched to the edge of the floodplain area.
Every day, I see tens of thousands of victims, all of whom have no clothes and no food. In addition, the foul smell blowing from the flooded area makes people vomit every time.
This must have been caused by the decomposition of the bodies of people and animals that drowned in the floodplain area.
The two of them were shocked, and they felt that the teacher's judgment was accurate. With such a large flooding area, a pandemic is sure to emerge.
"You can't drink overflowing sewage, you have to find a clean water source, and you have to cook it before you can drink it!"
Hua Tuo went all the way to help the people.
However, the victims thought that they were walking dead, and no one paid any attention to Hua Tuo's reminders.
When Hua Tuo's master and apprentice were not far from Jinan City, many patients with vomiting and diarrhea and high fever had been found, and some of them had already died of dehydration.
It seems that a large-scale outbreak of the plague is not far off.
Hua Tuo's master and apprentice with considerable experience can be predicted.
"Teacher, what should we do?"
The apprentices were terrified.
"Let's go to Jinan City."
I heard that the officials and scholars in the disaster-stricken areas are concentrated in the safe city of Jinan.
After all, Hua Tuo's strength alone is limited, and he needs to use the power of the government to save more people.
Two days later.
When Hua Tuo and his entourage came to Jinan, they saw that outside the city, countless victims had gathered, and in Jinan City, the city gate was closed, and these victims were not allowed to enter the city at all.
"What, you're Hua Tuo?" The captain of the city gate originally wanted to shoot and kill the three Hua Tuo who were close to the city gate.
But he had heard of Hua Tuo's reputation, so he opened the city gate and took him into the city.
Hua Tuo, under the leadership of the captain of the city gate, went straight to the governor's mansion.
At this time, Wang Weng, the assassin of Qingzhou, was discussing the flood with various families.
Originally, the scholars of Qingzhou planned to nominate Kong Rong as the state pastor, but Kong Rong was unwilling to do it, so now Wang Weng is acting for the state.
Wang Weng was born in the Langya Wang family, and the Wang family is the leading scholar family in Qingzhou.
Wang Weng may not be well-known in later generations, but his son Wang Ji, who raised him for his dead brother, is very famous. Wang Ji was a famous general of Cao Wei, the official to the general of Zhengnan, the governor of Jingzhou's military, the marquis of Dongwu, and was posthumously awarded the title of three dukes after his death.
Wang Weng and the others were shocked when they heard Hua Tuo's judgment.
Wang Weng asked in horror, "Hua ...... Mr. Hua Tuo, with Mr. Huatuo's insight, what should we do? ”
