"Langya, the people on the border of Taishan counties have migrated seventy or eighty percent, and at the same time, the excess felt tents of the garrisons in various places have been transferred to the border. If it is not enough, you can also build a reed shed. In addition, a lot of deep wells have been dug. In the Xuzhou Mufu, Chen Qun reported the current situation to Liu Bei in detail.

"Did you ever cause panic?" Liu Bei asked.

"Not yet, the local officials told the people in detail, only that the northern counties would cause a plague, so they asked everyone to take shelter for a few months." Chen Qun said carefully. Zhao Feng also knew that although the common people were hard to leave their homeland, they were afraid to avoid the plague. At the moment, the borders of Xuzhou and Yuzhou with several counties bordering the north are already being prepared, just in case.

A few days ago, when Hua Tuo informed Liu Bei that there might be a large-scale plague, Zhao Feng couldn't be shocked, and proposed some measures to limit the plague on the spot. "Is that okay?" After listening to Zhao Feng's suggestion, Liu Bei was also a little incredulous.

"But so!" Zhao Feng honestly admitted. In this day and age, all that can be done is to isolate, and then find ways to strengthen the patient's resistance and reduce the source of pollution at the same time. Although Liu Bei didn't believe Zhao Feng's suggestion, he also arranged it with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor. As a result, the people in the border areas under Liu Bei's rule were evacuated first, and the vacated houses were requisitioned, in addition to this, a large number of military tents were also allocated to accommodate refugees from the north. At the same time, according to Zhao Feng's advice, deep wells were dug in the camp to prevent drinking contaminated river water and getting sick. In addition, vegetables and dry food are allocated to the border by the government to resettle refugees. As for the medicinal materials, it is still necessary to wait until the specific condition is determined. In addition, the carcasses of infected people or livestock must be burned and buried, and then sprinkled with lime powder, so that they cannot be infected.

Zhao Feng knew that most of the plagues in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were hemorrhagic fever and typhoid fever. The former is temporarily incurable, and can only be resisted by increasing the intake of vitamins and enhancing the body's resistance; The latter still has a law to follow, such as the use of cinnamon branches, peony and other Chinese medicinal materials can greatly alleviate the condition. Now Zhao Feng can only pray that this time the plague is best typhoid fever.

Hua Tuo's vision was still quite accurate, and a month later, the plague broke out in Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yongzhou and Yanzhou in the north, and the epidemic became more serious the further north it went. For a time, a large number of victims fled their homes and fled south. In order to defend the place, Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent Cai Mao and others to Chen Bing to the border, and strictly forbade the victims to enter the territory of Jingxiang. Guan Yu of Yuzhou and Liu Bei of Xuzhou began to accept refugees in an orderly manner, and the princes of the world were surprised for a while.

"Liu Bei dared to take in the victims?" Cao Ying also felt unbelievable after hearing that he had made a report: Didn't Liu Da'er know the severity of the plague? Obviously not, after all, Liu Bei and he both experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it was because of the great drought in the world and the outbreak of the plague that the population of the Han Dynasty dropped by 20 million.

"Lord, according to Yu's calculations, it seems that Liu Bei has a way to control the plague!" Xun Yu was a little incredulous, but he still said bluntly: "Under Liu Bei's rule, there were no less than thousands of disaster victims, but there were only more than 100 dead. As soon as this remark came out, everyone exclaimed: this is simply unimaginable in their eyes. How did Liu Bei do it? Cao Ying hurriedly asked.

"This has not yet been clarified, but now the plague is rampant, and many small works have died on the road." Xun Yu said a little gloomily. Cao Ying also knew that there was no way to do it, so he had to take a step and see a step first.

"How's it going?" In the city of Xuzhou, Liu Bei asked Chen Qun, and all the high-level officials of Xuzhou were also present. "In the month since the outbreak of the plague, about 4,000 victims have poured into our Xuzhou, and more than 5,000 in Yuzhou." Chen Qun replied, paused, Chen Qun glanced at Zhao Feng and said, "But my Xuzhou adopted General Zhao's method in Yuzhou to firmly control the epidemic at the border. At present, not only Qingzhou and Yanzhou, but even many people in Jingzhou have begun to pour into Runan. ”

"Is there enough food and medicine?" Liu Bei asked again, after all, if this is gone, then it would be a fool's dream to control it. "It's still worth two months!" Chen Qun replied.

"Enough!" Zhao Feng calculated the time, it would be winter in two months, and the plague would naturally subside at that time, and Liu Bei would be much more relaxed when he heard this. A few days later, after repeated trials by Zhao Feng and Hua Tuo, it was finally confirmed that Artemisia herbal soup could effectively prevent the plague. Hua Tuo didn't know this, but Zhao Feng had seen this record in his previous life, and after discussing it with Hua Tuo, the first divine doctor at that time, for a long time, he finally came up with it.

"General Zhao's medical skills are so superb, the old man is really admired!" In Xuzhou Academy, an old man with a childish face saluted Zhao Feng and said that he was Hua Tuo. "Where, where!" Zhao Feng said modestly, he still has to be self-aware in front of this expert, but Liu Bei and the others who came together looked at Zhao Feng with a little horror: he can not only fight, but also civil affairs, and even be proficient in medicine and business, this kid is simply nothing he can't do.

Under such an epidemic, no matter how strong he Yuan Shao and Cao Ying are, they don't want to fight. In this bleak and panicked atmosphere, several bigwigs spent 198 years, until the plague eased in winter, and it was only slightly better. As for Sun Ce in the south and Liu Zhang in the ravine, the former is busy pacifying Jiaozhou, and the latter is no longer too concerned about the affairs of the world.

The quarantine zone on the border between Xuzhou and Yuzhou was dismantled, but the people who had regained their freedom were reluctant to leave, and most chose to settle here. "After the epidemic, 300,000 people poured into Xuzhou from Qingzhou, 200,000 from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, and nearly 200,000 from Jingzhou!" After Chen Qun counted the number of people, he reported to Liu Bei.

"So much?" Liu Bei was also taken aback, but then understood that if they were not effectively controlled, it would be difficult for these people to survive half of them, let alone that they would not be affected under their rule. Thinking of this, Liu Bei straightened his clothes, got up and gave a deep salute to Zhao Feng, who hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Why is the lord like this, really kill me!" ”

"This time Bo Tao took the right move, saving millions of souls for the Han Dynasty, and I really don't know how to thank Bo Tao!" Liu Bei sighed, Zhao Feng didn't even dare to say it, and the rest of the people also persuaded each other, and some sighed, and for a while, there was a sense of the rest of the life after the catastrophe in Xuzhou City.

If Liu Bei is only the rest of his life after the catastrophe, then Lao Cao is nine deaths. After this plague came down, Yanzhou and Yongzhou under his rule suffered heavy losses. The loss of the population of death, combined with the loss, is nearly a million. Although I later learned how Liu Bei controlled the plague, it was almost midwinter at that time, and it was too late to make amends.

"The population is less than 3 million, and the army is only 200,000, how should I fight Yuan Benchu in the spring!" This is Cao Ying's biggest headache now. Although Jizhou and other places were also miserable by the epidemic, Yuan Shao's family has a rich foundation and can afford to toss!

Guo Jia, who was on the side, saw Cao Ying like this, and immediately understood what he was worried about, smiled slightly, and said the famous ten wins and ten defeats: "Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows it." Han Zu is only wise to win Xiang Yu, so although the feather is strong, it will eventually be a bird. Today, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten wins, although Shao is strong, there is nothing to do. Shao Fan, etiquette and etiquette, the public body is natural, this way is also victorious; Shao to reverse, the public to lead the world, this righteousness is also victorious; Huan, Ling, since the loss of the government, Shao to be lenient, so not taken, the public correction to the fierce and up and down the system, this rule is also victorious; Shao outside the wide internal taboo, the use of people and doubts, only relatives and children, the public is easy to simplify and the inside is clear, there is no doubt about the use of people, only the talent is appropriate, regardless of the distance, this degree is also victorious; Shao more plans and less decisions, lost in the future, the public has to act, the response is endless, and this plan is also successful; Shao Gao discussed the concession to receive the reputation, the good words of the scholar decorate the outsider more to return to it, the public to treat people with the heart, not for the false beauty, the loyalty of the scholar is far-sighted and the real people are willing to use, this virtue is also victorious; Shao sees people hungry and cold, sympathetic to it, in the form of color, what it does not see, worry or not, public in the current small things, sometimes suddenly, as for the big things, and the four seas, the grace of the addition, are over its hope, although not seen, thoughtful, this benevolence is also victorious; Shao's ministers fight for power, slander and confusion, and the public is under the way, and the infiltration is not good, and this Ming wins also; Shao's right and wrong are unknowable, the public office is to enter the courtesy, not the right to the law, this article is also good; Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is a small number of people, the soldiers are like gods, the soldiers are afraid of it, the enemy is afraid of it, and this martial arts is also victorious. ”

This sycophant really lifted Cao Shao to the sky, and he was a little fluttery and dizzy, and buried Yuan Shao useless. Cao Ying was also in high spirits, and he began to fight hard at any time, ready to start a war with Yuan Shao at any time. At the same time, there was also news from the south that after a series of fierce battles with Sun Ce, Shixie of Jiaozhou was finally defeated in the battle of Yulin. Shi Xie and his two sons all died in the chaos, and only Shi Xie's brother Shi Wu escaped with a surname and went to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao. At this point, Sun Ce occupied Jiaozhou and Jiangdong, and there were no less than 200,000 men with armor under his command, and his strength should not be underestimated for a while.

"It seems that Sun Ce has made a lot of money!" When the news came back to Xuzhou, Zhao Feng sighed. However, Liu Bei did not make any less money, although the consumption of money and food was quite large when fighting the plague, but the population increased greatly! At this time, it was the beginning of spring, and the number of people under Liu Bei's rule increased by one million, and one million people were basically young and middle-aged. This is also normal, who can survive the plague will be weak and sickly? Now Liu Bei is much more relaxed whether he is recruiting troops or governing the place. As a result, under the auspices of Chen Qun and Zhao Feng, various civil and military affairs began to be built in an orderly manner.

What Zhao Fengwan didn't expect was that the dark tide in Jizhou City was also turbulent at this time. Yuan Shao, the number one boss in the world, sat on the main seat, looked at the civil and military forces sitting down, and slowly spoke: "Everyone, I want to rebel and fight with that Cao Ying, what do you think?" ”
