Chapter 274: Wooing Before Going Back
Jin Liang asked again: "If you bury the bones of the fallen soldiers in the soil, there is a high chance that they will be gnawed by wild dogs and rats." www.biquge.infoRats are the most likely to spread the plague, and the poison on the rotting corpses will seep into the soil, and will be carried into the rivers by the rain, and into the wells. What do you say? ”
Zhang Zhongjing's face changed: "It is very easy to spread the plague. What do you think you should do? ”
"Cremating these corpses is the only way to eliminate the toxins on the corpses," Jin Liang pointed to the medical camp: "I told you before, you must boil the water before you can drink it, you must steam the linen cloth and scalpel before you can use it, you must scrub the wounds with strong wine and salt water, and you must cook the clothes on the dead before you can use it again." Do you know why? ”
Zhang Zhongjing replied: "The lord said before that there will be toxins on the body immediately after death, and there will also be toxins on the wounds of people when they are injured, and if there are dead bodies in the water. There are also toxins in the water, and these toxins are the source of all diseases and pestilences, and only boiling water, spirits, and salt water can be disinfected, and fire can also be extinguished. Lord, why can't we sterilize the bodies of the fallen soldiers with steam, spirits, and salt water, and then bury them? ”
Before the advent of microscopes. It was difficult for Jin Liang to explain to people in this era what bacteria were, he could only use the word toxin, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhongjing to have such a strange idea, Jin Liang quickly shook his head: "After people die." Dead organs inside the body are constantly excreting toxins, which is why corpses decay. Disinfection alone can't remove toxins, so can you keep these corpses in salt pools and jars all the time? Even then it can only eliminate one kind of poison in the human body, and after death, there is a steady stream of toxins in the body, and those methods will not help at all, and the best way is cremation. ”
Jin Liang saw that the officers and soldiers of the Central Army all looked disapprove, so he asked loudly: "Entering the soil for peace, this is a custom passed down from generation to generation, and I also agree, but what should we do if the toxins on these corpses are brought out by those wild dogs and rats, and brought out by the rain to the river well water, causing a large area of plague, what should we do, people die like lights going out, and the bones in the soil are worthless, do we want to save those bones and let us living people become bones in a short time?!" ”
When the cremation preached by Jin Liang was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it was much easier to clean up the battlefield, strip off the clothes of all the soldiers, and perform cremation, and the soldiers who died in each battalion were cremated together, and the ashes and ashes were put into the pit together, and the tombstones were erected, and the names of the fallen soldiers were engraved on them for the comrades-in-arms and their descendants to worship.
The corpses of the soldiers of the Central Army were treated in this way, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were also disposed of, and the custom of cremation soon spread to all the armies in the Han Dynasty, and cremation was popular in the army, and cremation began to be popular among the people in order to avoid the outbreak of large-scale plague.
The practice of the Central Military Medical Battalion was implemented in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and then slowly spread to the entire Han Dynasty, and the common people of the Han Dynasty slowly accepted a series of practices such as boiling raw water to drink, disinfection of liquor and salt water, and burning of filth, and with the preaching and implementation of good prescriptions for preventing and curing plague by famous doctors such as Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing throughout the country, the plague in the Han Dynasty will gradually become extinct.
The reason why Jin Liang attaches great importance to the control of the plague is because in addition to war and famine, what destroys the vitality of the Han Dynasty is the plague that is even more terrifying.
In history, there were three plagues during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, five plagues during the reign of Emperor Ling, and the epidemic was even worse during the reign of Emperor Jian'an, and tens of thousands of people were swallowed by the plague, resulting in an unprecedented catastrophe of ten rooms and nine emptiness. Zhang Zhongjing's family was originally a large family, with a population of more than 200 people, but in less than a decade, two-thirds of them died of the epidemic.
Of course, the root cause of the plague is not only the lack of hygiene and the random discarding of corpses, but also the war and famine. If there is a lot of emphasis on hygiene and epidemic prevention, the world is in turmoil, the people are displaced, and people often starve to death, then the plague will appear from time to time, consuming the vitality of the Han Dynasty.
Based on this consideration, Jin Liang wants to rely on his own efforts to rectify and unify this chaotic Han world in the shortest possible time, and it is not only the warlords of the cold family like Dong Zhuo who affect the unification, but also Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai and other princes of the family, Jin Liang wants to eliminate the rule of the family in the shortest possible time, he has to gather all the forces that can be won over to deal with the family together.
Jin Liang did not beat Dong Zhuo to death with a stick, it was out of such foresight.
Jin Liang presided over the cremation ceremony, and prepared to lead 20,000 elite horsemen back to Xiangyang overnight.
Jin Liang was packing up his things in the sleeping tent, Zou Qing came over softly and hugged Jin Liang from behind: "Husband, are you going back to Xiangyang to quell the chaos?!" ”
Jin Liang saw that she guessed it, and he didn't hide it, and nodded: "Yes." ”
Zou Qingjiao said angrily: "Husband, why don't you take me back?!" ”
Jin Liang shook his head: "I returned to the army to quell the rebellion this time, it is easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, I myself am enough to protect myself, and I am afraid of affecting you with you!" ”
Zou Qing kept hugging Jin Liang's tiger waist and didn't let go: "Husband, the concubine must go with you!" If you go back this time, the risk is unpredictable, that is, death, and the concubine will die with you. ”
Jin Liang pushed Zou Qing down and snapped a few times on her fat ******: "Hugh is going to say such depressing words!" ”
Zou Qing's tears fell, looking very pitiful: "Husband, you must take me away!" I don't want to stay without you! ”
Jin Liang couldn't stand the woman's tears, looked at Zou Qing carefully, felt that something was wrong there, and then looked at his own military uniform, only to notice the difference, stretched out his clutches and stroked Zou Qing's huge ****: "You can dress up as a personal guard and follow me around, but you are so full in front of you that you can't hide it." ”
Zou Qing took out a long piece of white silk, took off her clothes, wrapped them one by one, and put on her clothes again, the whole person became fatter and bigger, but her chest was flat.
Jin Liang smiled and nodded: "So good, then do you know how to ride a horse?" ”
Zou Qing nodded: "The concubine's family has a horse training ground, a horse track, and has practiced horse riding. ”
"Practiced horseback riding?!" Jin Liang shook his head: "Let's go back to Xiangyang this time, one day and one night, people don't leave the saddle, you can't bear this hardship, or take the carriage back." ”
Zou Qing's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, but her attitude was very firm: "Husband, I must go back with you this time!" ”
Jin Liang said helplessly: "Then you put more cloth underneath, I'm worried that your thighs will be bruised." ”
Jin Liang handed over his usual outfit to the guards, changed into the armor and battle robes of ordinary military generals, wrapped the red rabbit horse in black linen, camouflaged it, and after draping it neatly, he was ready to lead the troops to Xiangyang.
Dian Wei reported outside the door: "Cao Cao, the prime minister of the plains, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Sun Jian, the prime minister of Chen Guo, and Liu Bei of the plain county ask to see!" ”
Jin Liang wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw the four of them arriving together, he suspected that there was something serious, so he had to postpone the army: "Let them in!" ”
After Jin Liang defeated Dong Zhuo, in the minds of the Kwantung princes, he suddenly became Xiang Yu who broke the Qin army in Julu that year, Jin Liang sat in the Chinese army tent, Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others all respectfully entered the Chinese army tent, and they did not dare to breathe.
Jin Liang asked with a serious face: "It's almost evening, why don't you go to rest, what are you looking for me?" ”
Cao Cao arched his hand and said, "The four of us are bidding farewell to Marquis Wen. ”
Jin Liang was taken aback: "Even if you have to retreat, wouldn't it be that only our Central Army is left to fight alone." ”
Bao Xin sighed and said: "Wen Hou, why don't we want to continue to follow Wen Hou to attack Luoyang and eliminate Dong thieves, how can the other princes return to the land, only we did not go back, Qingzhou and Yanzhou saw that there was no chief official to guard the land, they wantonly looted, we must not lose the root in order to please Dong, please understand Wen Hou!" ”
Jin Liang smiled tolerantly and said: "I can fully understand, in fact, I will attack the Tiger Prison Pass for a few more days, if I can't break through, I also want to withdraw my troops." ”
Cao Cao and the others laughed together: "Thank you Wenhou for your understanding." ”
Jin Liang looked at the short and fat black Cao Cao, looked at the fierce and majestic Sun Jian, and looked at Liu Bei, who had a face like a crown and jade lips and a sissy face, and suddenly an extremely tempting thought that was difficult to suppress flashed in his mind, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were both the initiators of the Three Kingdoms, if he killed the two of them now; Let Liu Bei resume his body and merge the legion, but he really fulfilled his ambition, and after Jin Liang, there would be no Three Kingdoms.
This idea is incomparably tempting, and it makes Jin Liang's conscience pound non-stop, should he do it? Should we do it?!
Cao Cao was startled when he saw Jin Liang's face changing and uncertain, thinking that Jin Liang had been fighting too often and singled out too much recently, and was in good health, so he hurriedly said: "Wenhou, you have been fighting frequently recently, and it is really too hard, so let's rest early, I'll retire!" ”
"Wait! Wait! Jin Liang hurriedly stopped them and said with a forced smile: "You sit here first, I still want to ask you for help!" ”
"Can we help you with something?!" Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin couldn't believe their ears, what would Jin Liang of Megatron Huaxia ask for on their heads?!
Jin Liang stabilized his mind, carefully weighed the pros and cons, and shook his head.
In the original history, from 191 AD to 200 AD, there was a overlord in North China who was Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao could only rely on him to snort, and there was an overlord in South China who was Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian's father followed him, and Liu Bei was a small character who turned around with people's buttocks.
And in this time and space, although the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have been pitted by Jin Liang several times, they are still so powerful, after all, they are the younger brothers of the Yuan family in Runan, the first family in the world, if all the families in the Han Dynasty work together, they will account for more than half of the population of the Han Dynasty, with more than 30 million people, and they can organize an army of more than 3 million, and most of these families are only the Yuan family in Runan, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu exploded quickly in the early stage.
According to Jin Liang's latest intelligence analysis, Yuan Shao has become interested in Han Fu's Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu has also become interested in Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu can't compete with Yuan Shao. will run to Yangzhou. Plotting against Chen Wen, the former official of the Yuan family, Yangzhou has since been Yuan Shao Dingjing, Yuan Shu Dingyangzhou, this is the general trend. Even if Jin Liang had the heart to stop it, he couldn't do it, because there was also a fierce Gongsun Zan in the rear of Jizhou, as well as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Liu Yu, and Gongsun Du, and the greater threat came from the internal family, waiting for him to free up. The big Yuan and the little Yuan are all sitting firmly in Jingzhou and Huainan, unless they make a stupid move in the future, they can't stop the Yuan clan from getting bigger, unless they support Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei to fight with the two Yuan.
Now kill Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. More than ten years later, the disaster is gone, but the disaster in front of him has arisen, he killed Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei, who were very active in seeking Dong, so that people of insight in the world can see that they are still secondary, the most important thing is to let those Kwantung princes think, they must be in danger of themselves, and it is very likely to organize a gold-seeking alliance, this time, the gold-seeking alliance is probably different from the Dongdong Alliance, because Dong Zhuo only occupied Luoyang and did not take the initiative to attack these Kwantung princes, but Jin Liang killed the three princes among them. They are sad and sad, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, and they are afraid that they will use all the elites when they attack themselves, and when they are worried about internal and external troubles, it will be a little dangerous.
If he kills Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei, the three allies who fought side by side with him to defeat Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yunruo declares that he colluded with Dong Zhuo to ambush other Kwantung princes, I am afraid that those Kwantung princes will also believe it, and it will be certain and certain to attack Jin Liang together when the time comes.
Moreover, in this way, his reputation for treachery and cruelty to his allies will not be able to escape, and not only will no force be willing to ally with him in the future. Even the current allies in the Xiangyang court, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu and others will also consider it, maybe they will fight against themselves at the instigation of Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and other family ministers, and then the good situation that has been managed with great difficulty will be lost.
The most important thing is that he killed Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. What reason to tell the people of the world, could it be that it is these three people who divide the Han into three points. After a hundred years of scuffle, is the vitality of the Han Dynasty lost? Isn't that?
Jin Liang felt very ridiculous, the three people in front of him were the most active in courting Dong, and they seemed to be loyal to the Han court, but in the end, they were also the culprits of the disintegration of the Han Dynasty, history is really a weird and inexplicable thing.
Since you can't kill them, what kind of attitude should you use to treat them?
Jin Liang remembered that the general trend he had set with Guo Jia before was to support Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei to deal with the princes of the family headed by Liang Yuan, and at the same time secretly formed an alliance with Dong Zhuo, which was also to deal with the princes of the family.
Let them deal with the two Yuan, fight each other, and each other's development is restricted, after Jin Liang frees his hand, he can clean up one by one, if Cao Cao and Sun Jian are killed now, almost all the families south of the Yellow River are the families that rely on the Yuan family, and the two Yuan may be able to quickly unify the south of the Yellow River, and then work together to deal with themselves, it will not be good, so it is necessary to support Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei to deal with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
However, Jin Liang wants to support Cao Cao and Sun Jian, it seems that it is also wishful thinking, Cao Cao's relationship with Yuan Shao in the past was so good, and Sun Jian's relationship with Yuan Shu was so good, why did they mix with Jin Liang instead of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?
Jin Liang is confident, first, because Jin Liang supports the Xiangyang court and can coerce the heavens to order the princes, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei are now weak and dare not disobey, and second, Jin Liang can support their weapons, armor, grain and grass, and war horses for a fee, although they are all eliminated by the central army, for these three princes who are not rich at all, it is already a great gift, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, like their uncle Yuan Kui, only know how to oppress people with the prestige of the fourth and third princes and do not know how to use interests to win people, Sooner or later, everyone will rebel and leave.
If Jin Liang made another move, he would be able to win the hearts of these three people, so that in the next few years, not only would they not attack themselves, but they would attack Liang Yuan and the other princes for themselves.
After Jin Liang thought about these things thoroughly, he walked in front of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin with a relaxed smile: "Everyone, a month ago, we were in the Kwantung region with blood and blood alliances, and we were all in high spirits, but only a few of us have persevered to this day, and I Jin Liang admires the four of you very much for your fierce loyalty to the imperial court, and I also admire your wisdom and courage very much. So, there's a reluctant request below, and I hope you can fulfill it?! ”
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin arched their hands and said: "Wen Hou has a good reputation, and the great cause of Dong can persist to this day, all thanks to Wen Hou's strength, and also all rely on Wen Hou's help, I waited for the whole army to be wiped out, and I have been safe so far." It is a blessing for us to be able to serve Wenhou! If Wen Hou has any requirements, please be polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Seeing their sincerity, Jin Liang smiled slightly: "I want to be brothers of the opposite sex with you!" ”
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin were all stunned, looking at each other, and after a while, Cao Cao and the four of them all bowed their hands and said: "Wen Hou is the first general in the world, the people at home and abroad, and the imperial court, I dare not climb high." ”
Since the defeat of Dong Zhuo, Jin Liang's prestige has been greatly shaken, and his prestige has overshadowed Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and others, and he can be described as the first person in the sea, coupled with his martial arts and army, his majesty is unbeatable, just like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who broke the Qin army back then.
Jin Liang smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, you are the founding minister Cao Shen, and my father was once one of the three princes; Brother Wentai is after the martial saint Sun Wu, Brother Yuncheng is after Bao Xuan, the captain of Sili, and Brother Xuande is after King Jing of Zhongshan, the four brothers are all nobles of the family, and I, Jin Liang, is only after the county captain, it should be said that I am in the lower high climb. ”
Sun Jian laughed loudly and said: "Brother Xianting, if you talk about the great achievements of your ancestors, we are not as good as you, the martial immortal Jin Shangkai has opened the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years, Qin Xiang Jin Buwei is the foundation of the first emperor's unification of the six countries, Wuzhong Marquis Jin Ma Tong has meritorious service to Xiang Yu, Yue Cavalry Captain Jin Hao has meritorious service with the general Dou Xian to conquer the Northern Xiongnu, as the descendants of these great men, why should Wen Hou be humble, not to mention that Wen Hou is now the general of the expedition to the North Part, with this great break Dong Zhuo's merits, return to the imperial court, there will definitely be a greater reward, we are all proud to know Wen Hou, If Wen Hou really intends to worship with us, Sun Jian is willing to climb high! ”
Sun Jian is now blocked by King Chen and Liu Pet, and he can't take office in the prosperous Chen State, and wants to ask Jin Liang to help, so he is overjoyed with Jin Liang's request, if he swears with Jin Liang, Jin Liang will definitely not refuse him.
Sun Jian expressed his attitude, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin were not to be outdone, they were not like Jin Liang who could judge the future development, they only looked at the present, and they needed Jin Liang's strong reinforcement.
Jin Liang saw that the four of them agreed, so he asked Guo Jia to prepare incense cases and sacrifices, and immediately bowed to Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin.
Cao Cao and the four of them saw that the sky was gray, and said: "This is not an auspicious day, can you worship another day." ”
Jin Liang saw that these four people had a request for themselves, and they would definitely not harm themselves for the time being, so he said: "Don't hide it, there is a family rebellion in Jizhou, which is about to attack Xiangyang, and I am anxious to go back to quell the rebellion, so I have to salute hastily!" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, they were all worried about the safety of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, so they said: "Since this is the case, let's hurry up and salute, so that Xianting can set off early." ”
Jin Liang, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Liu Bei burned incense and worshipped: "Reading Jin Liang, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Liu Bei, although they have different surnames, they are brothers, and they work together to help the poor and help the needy. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! (To be continued.) )
