Chapter 566: Cao Cao to make matters worse
The military soul of the second casting Hao army is actually difficult to say, and it is actually difficult to say that it is easy to help the sixth, which depends on what kind of army you want to build. If it is an army that kills and loots for a living, then it only needs to keep slaughtering and looting, and over time, this kind of army will feel that it is doing the right thing. Li Xu, Guo Ji and the later Yellow Turbans are all such armies.
The forces that built up such armies have undoubtedly been extinct. Now the surviving princes. None of the men will be such troops. However, the princes of this era have the vision and limitations of the princes of this era. They only see the foundation of a family.
However, the three of them are all heroic characters, and the little three of them have directly looked at the Han family, under the banner of reviving the Han family. Among them, Sun Jian's banner is the weakest, and his forces are mainly local families in Jiangdong, and these families actually don't really want to restore the Han family. It's just that this is the general trend. Therefore, it has to be done.
As for Liu Bei, he claimed to be a member of the Han family. and under the banner of reviving the Han family, there is no need to say more. In Liu Bei's mouth, Cao Cao is doing something that is not a subordinate, but in Cao Cao's own words, if there is no Cao Mengde in the world, I don't know how many people are called emperors and how many people are kings.
Now it is because of him Cao Mengde, Sun Jian in Jiangdong is only a Marquis of Wu, Liu Bei in Jingzhou is only a general of Zuo, and Zhang Xiu, who is the most powerful. He has been holding the title of General of the Cavalry for almost ten years. With their current strength, even the weakest Liu Bei is enough capital to be king. But none of the four dared to make this move, although the Han family had already existed in name only, but Yu Wei was still there, and Yuan Shu risked the world to be the emperor, and became the first victim. And Cao Cao, who held the Son of Heaven in his hand, did not move, and the other three did not dare to move.
Zhang Xiu used to be under the banner of reviving the Han dynasty on the surface, but this is no longer the case internally, with the expansion of strength, in recent years, he has successively done something that the rebels did in the eyes of the scholars. But Zhang Xiu didn't care, because this matter must be done. It's just a matter of time or time.
Zhang Xiu wants to truly win the world. The Han family is actually the biggest stumbling block. The so-called improper name is not good, as if the Sima family usurped the world in later generations, although it was the world that was won, it could not be convinced by the people of the world.
What Zhang Xiu wants to do is to take the world openly, and the most direct reliance on the world is the army, if the army does not really have the consciousness to take the world. So how to talk about the establishment of a prosperous dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Xiu has to spend a lot of time and a lot of effort to cast the military soul of this army.
The combat effectiveness of the army can be gradually increased by virtue of the baptism of war, such as Zhang Xiu's learning from Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, to build a force with hegemony as the soul of the army, you can rely on continuous victories to cast. But Zhang Xiu knew it from the beginning of the army. The road of hegemony does not work, if you want to go, you must take the royal road, and only the royal road can lead to the real prosperity.
However, how can the military soul of the royal road be so easy to forge. Zhang Xiu went through a series of ups and downs to complete this move through today's incident. As Jia Xu said, within ten years, Zhang Xiu will definitely be able to sweep the world! After listening to the old man's words, the young man who had just spoken lowered his head in shame, and remembered the scene when the soldiers of the navy desperately rescued them, and the young man couldn't hold back any longer. rushed out of the crowd, and then knelt on the ground with a "poof", and everyone saw it and calmed down at the same time.
I saw that the young man kept kowtowing and said loudly: "The general and the villain know the mistake, and the villain knows the mistake!" ”
Zhang Xiu saw it, and said with a faint smile: "The mistakes can be corrected, and the good is great." If you know what you are wrong, you should correct it. ”
The young man looked up and asked, "How should the villain be corrected?" ”
Zhang Xiu said: "Look at your young age and sound limbs. Nowadays, there are many elderly people in the camp who need to be taken care of."
Zhang Xiu didn't say it thoroughly, but the young man had already understood, nodded and said, "The villain understands." The villain understands. ”
A crisis was resolved, just as the adjutant was preparing to direct the crowd back to the camp. Zhang Xiu continued: "Actually, you are afraid of distemper. It's human nature, and I know it. Therefore, Ben decided to go to the camp outside the city to live and eat with everyone. Until the day when the distemper is completely eliminated! ”
When the people heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and the next moment they erupted in cheers, and the old man who spoke just now knelt on the ground with excitement and said in a trembling voice: "Benevolent Lord, this is Benevolent Lord!" ”
Zhang Xiu waved his hand to calm down the excited crowd first, and then said, "I'll tell you another good news." The general has already sent someone from Chang'an to invite the famous doctor Mr. Zhang Zhongjing to treat everyone. In addition, Dr. Hua Shen also came from Yizhou. So you don't have to worry about the skinny epidemic at all. ”
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. As soon as Hua Qiao and Zhang Zhongjing, the two famous doctors in the world, fell down, all the people were happy, and the horror that still remained in their eyes had long since disappeared.
After that, Zhang Xiu arranged for the soldiers to lead the crowd back to the camp. He was ready to go down the city. At this time, Jia Xu came to Zhang Xiu's side. Ning Sheng asked, "Does the lord really want to live outside the city?" ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, chuckled, and said, "Ben will just go to live outside the city for a few days to calm the people's hearts."
When Jia Xu heard this, he said with some worry: "But"
Zhang Xiu said: "Wenhe doesn't have to worry, distemper thinness is not an incurable disease, as long as everyone carefully follows the instructions of the general, the distemper will naturally not spread." When Mr. Zhongjing arrives, all the sick people can be cured. Jia Xu could only nod helplessly.
After Zhang Xiu arrived at the camp, he just found a clean place to live, except for a few more guards to follow, it was not much different from ordinary people. However, when the people heard that the general of the Sudden Cavalry lived here, they all came to watch. Zhang Xiu did not drive them away, but just practiced marksmanship as usual, and then dealt with civil affairs, and if there was a dispute among the people in the camp, they would also be dealt with.
At the same time, Zhang Xiu also went to visit the sick soldiers and the people who were isolated. The soldiers are fine. At this time, some disciples trained by Hua Ru and Zhang Ji were treated, and the situation was stabilized. On the people's side, there were actually only a dozen people who were really infected, but Zhang Xiu isolated them to make them frightened. After Zhang Xiu personally came forward to explain, and promised that if there was no illness within ten days. They will be transferred out and will not stay here anymore. And if they are unfortunately infected, there will also be Lang Zhong to treat them, of course, the names of Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were moved out by Zhang Xiu again.
Three days later, Zhang Ji rushed to Luoyang. However, Zhang Ji saw that after the sick "ten cars of the second batch of sailors and dozens of ordinary people, he was greatly shocked by the four plagues and thin things. As soon as it spread, there were thousands or even tens of thousands of people, but there were so many people gathered near Luoyang, and only a few hundred people were infected with the disease, so Zhang Ji was not surprised.
Zhang Xiu saw Zhang Ji's surprised appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart. But for Zhang Ji this. The medical saint, Zhang Xiu still has great respect for Xiao Xiao, so he personally explained his arrangement to Zhang Ji and the intention of doing so. After Zhang Ji heard it, he praised loudly: "The general's arrangement is really wonderful. This practice does minimize the chance of infection. This kind of practice must be written down and passed on to future generations. ”
Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "What Mr. said is very true. ”
Zhang Ji stroked his white hair and asked with a smile: "But there is still something I don't understand, and I want to ask the general to decrypt it." ”
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. bluntly said that the embroidery will solve the doubts for Mr. ”
I only heard Zhang Ji ask: "What I don't understand is why the general repeatedly told that water must be boiled before drinking, and used utensils should be boiled in water before being exposed to the sun, and wiping with spirits can really kill thin and thin?" ”
Zhang Xiu heard it, but was speechless, and said secretly: "Do I still want to explain the virus?" Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu had a flash of inspiration and said in a deep voice: "This is what embroidery thought of from the law of yin and yang and the five elements. ”
When Zhang Ji heard this, his eyebrows raised, and he was surprised: "The general also knows medical skills?" But in traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements of yin and yang are also emphasized, so Zhang Ji has this question.
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "No, embroidery doesn't understand medical skills." This is just a flash of inspiration. After a pause, he continued: "Xiu thinks that these plagues are due to the fact that after the great water, the corpses of people and animals have been flowing in the water for a long time, and their toxicity is emitted, making the clean water poisonous. And if people eat this water, they will naturally become thin. ”
Zhang Ji listened and nodded, according to Zhang Ji's own research, the cause of thinness is indeed the same.
Zhang Xiu saw it, so he continued: "Embroidery thinks. Since this poison came out of the corpse, it should be yin. Yang should be used to deal with yin, so boiling water and exposure to the sun are all principles of using yang to extinguish yin. As for the liquor, Xiu often drank it but only felt that the body was like a fire, so its nature should also be yang, so he sent someone to wipe it with the liquor to extinguish the emaciation. As for the infected people. Because the poison has entered the body, I don't know if there will be other changes, embroidery doesn't understand medical skills, don't dare to try indiscriminately, this. It's up to Mr. Zhongjing. ”
After listening to this, Zhang Ji groaned for a while before he high-fived and praised: "Wonderful!" The general's method is really wonderful! I will write it down and leave it to future generations, and we will not be afraid of thinness from now on! ”
Zhang Xiu heard it and secretly said that it was a fluke. This nonsense made Zhang Xiu prevaricate. However, Zhang Xiu's face did not show any abnormality, but smiled: "Embroidery is just done randomly, at that time, it is better to just want to do embroidery than to do nothing." However, those who are infected still need to be rejuvenated. ”
Zhang Ji heard this, nodded and praised: "The general is benevolent, which is the blessing of the people." Those who are sick. The machine will do its best to heal, please rest assured. ”
Zhang Xiu heard and nodded. Zhang Xiu was also ready to gossip with Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji was eager to save people, and after asking what he wanted to know, he rejected Zhang Xiu, and led a few apprentices to save people with a medicine bag on his back. Zhang Xiu naturally did not stop this, and even sent someone to guide the way and follow Zhang Ji's side.
As soon as Zhang Ji arrived, Zhang Xiu could breathe a sigh of relief. This thing is actually not very powerful, at least it is too far from the global infectious diseases that Zhang Xiu encountered before he crossed over. In ancient China, there were not many really powerful infectious viruses. Most of these terrible viruses came from the Americas and Europe after the Age of Discovery. This may also be related to the good eating habits of Chinese, eating light food, not like foreigners' big fish and meat, and those meats are still undercooked.
Therefore, in fact, it is not too difficult to treat plague, the key is that it is very contagious, and it is rumored that thinness has become extremely terrifying in the eyes of the world. Now Zhang Xiu has minimized its contagion, and the plague has become a toothless tiger, and then there is Zhang Ji. The medical saint is here. It wasn't too difficult to subdue this evil tiger.
For Zhang Xiu, the benefits of this skinny incident outweigh the disadvantages. Now that Zhang Ji is here, the plague incident is ready to come to an end. So Zhang Xiu and Zhuge Yu and others left manpower to maintain the necessary isolation and cleanliness. It has been reinvested in the project of resettlement of the people.
Now the water east of Luoyang has slowly receded, and the water level at Hugao Pass and Bishui Pass has also dropped a lot. It is believed that before the arrival of winter, the water in Sizhou should be able to recede. In view of this, Zhang Xiu had already sent troops to the east of Luoyang to clean up. In order to avoid the resurgence of the plague and emaciation, the people sent by Zhang Xiu mainly did to gather the corpses of people and animals for cremation. But that's all Zhang Xiu can do, wine is a very expensive thing in this era, and it is impossible for Zhang Xiu to spray spirits for disinfection. In this case, the only way to disinfect is to use natural sunlight.
Zhang Xiu's side was so cautious that the plague broke out, and Cao Cao's side was naturally not spared. And the addiction to thinness, with Cao Cao's means, naturally can't control the thinness, which makes the plague and thinness spread widely. The situation is dire. Moreover, Cao Cao did not strictly order the people under his rule to boil water before drinking.
Thin and thin, water is the real way of infection, so Cao Cao can't stop being thin even if he tries any means.
In the end, even the extreme means of killing could not be stopped. As long as you drink unclean water, the distemper will spread and spread, just like blooming in more places, and let Cao Cao's side rack his brains. I can't think of a way to deal with it.
It was not until the onset of winter that the distemper virus was somewhat reduced due to the great reduction in activity in the cold winter. However, with these three alone, Cao Cao slaughtered more than 20,000 people in about a month. Basically, all the people rescued from the flooded area were slaughtered, and because of the downstream of the drainage area, many people in Huainan drank unclean water and contracted diseases. There was also a lot of massacre.
However, Cao Cao was also smart this time, and the killing was only carried out in secret, without fanfare. As a result, the people everywhere under his rule did not know about it, and the people's hearts were suppressed. But there is no doubt that in this big battle, Cao Cao was broken. A cold winter. I don't know how many people will not survive, freeze to death or starve to death"
