Since Liu Bei's camp retreated south, he used boats to march and retreated to Hefei in only a few days.

After the army marched to Hefei, at the suggestion of Huo Jun, Liu Bei ordered the entire army to be quarantined for 45 days, until the isolation period expired, and the asymptomatic could not return to China. During the quarantine period, all military affairs were handed over to Huo Jun.

Huo Jun took office, and immediately according to the distribution of malaria outbreaks in the previous camp, he transferred Wenwu with a low risk coefficient as his deputy, such as Huang Quan, Fa Zheng, Deng Fang, and more than ten people, to temporarily form an epidemic control department.

With Huo Jun personally carrying the heavy burden, Liu Bei and his ministers were isolated in the camp, and the rest of them were camped along the Feishui River. The army of 60,000 or 70,000 people is camped in one unit, and the interval between each battalion is one mile, and the lieutenant is responsible for the specific affairs of isolation in the battalion.

In view of the previous malaria outbreaks, as well as the distance between each battalion and the malaria outbreak, Huo Jun divided the departments into three levels: light, medium, and heavy. For the battalions marked as severe, a strict internal isolation system should also be adopted to prevent the spread of malaria.

After the ministries camped on the spot according to the camp map, Huo Jun issued a mosquito repellent order and strictly ordered his subordinates to implement it.

First, the battalions were ordered to bury the surrounding stagnant water to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes; second, to burn the weeds around the camp to prevent mosquitoes from inhabiting it; Third, fill and dig manure pits every day to prevent the manure pits from being used for too long and thus breeding mosquitoes.

Three military orders were issued, and all ministries, under the supervision of the Department of Epidemic Control, began a vigorous mosquito repellent campaign. After some operation, although it cannot solve all the mosquitoes, it has also reduced a large number of mosquitoes.

In order to help the battalions repel mosquitoes, Huo Jun strictly forbade his subordinates to expose their bodies easily, and distributed the collected wormwood to the grassroots level of each department to facilitate mosquito repellent in the Wushi camp tent.

Or if there is yin, there is yang, and one thing descends to one thing. Mosquitoes are widely distributed in China, and wormwood, which can repel mosquitoes, is also widely distributed throughout China, and wormwood is also a plant with strong reproductive ability.

With the burning of wormwood to repel mosquitoes, every night each camp will be filled with mugwort, even if there are mosquitoes outside the tent who want to suck human blood, but they are also afraid that mugwort cannot enter.

The high-level civil and military forces of the Southern Han Dynasty held money and power, and the treatment was far better than that of the low-level soldiers. During the quarantine period, in addition to the use of wormwood to repel mosquitoes, ancient and useful mosquito nets were used to ward off mosquitoes.

You may not believe it, but the mosquito nets that gradually disappeared in China in later generations were only enjoyed by the powerful in ancient times. It was not until the innovation of industrial textile technology and the popularization of cotton material that mosquito nets were used by ordinary people.

Today's mosquito nets, ancient tent curtains, are mostly made of silk.

Different classes, for the powerful, the role of mosquito nets is definitely not only to repel mosquitoes, but also to decorate the house and show the wealth.

In the big tent, Huo Jun held the pen and seemed to be talking about something at length.

Huo Xiong walked into the tent and said, "The head of the family, Mrs. ordered someone to send five tent curtains. ”

"Good!"

Huo Jun didn't look up, and said, "Divide the young general into one tent, and you and the left and right will use the remaining three." ”

"Thank you, master!" Huo Xiong said gratefully.

As a personal escort, the Huo Xiong brothers have followed Huo Jun for more than ten years, because they are honest, dedicated, and do not retreat in times of danger. Therefore, Huo Jun never treats the two of them badly, and any excess things will be shared with the Huo Xiong brothers.

Huo Xiong saw that the head of the family was writing the scarf, so he quietly retreated.

On the scarf, Huo Jun wrote down his limited understanding of the plague (infectious disease), hoping to enlighten future generations not to face the plague with an ignorant attitude, but to be able to clearly recognize the spread of the plague, so as to save more people in the plague.

Due to Huo Jun's limited reserve knowledge, the content of the "Epidemic Control Sutra" is far less rich than the art of war, and its article is only two or three thousand words.

Only in the silk scarf is discussed in detail that the medium of transmission of the plague will be different depending on the type of plague. However, even so, Huo Jun used typhoid fever as an example in his limited knowledge reserve, emphasizing the transmission of air and saliva, and introduced the use of masks to protect himself.

Towards the end of the writing, the attendant hurried into the tent, gasping for breath, and said, "The governor is not good! ”

"What's the matter, so alarmed?" Huo Jun frowned and asked.

The attendant looked sad and said, "Vice Governor Lu died of illness in the tent!" ”

"Zijing?"

Huo Jun looked stunned, his right hand couldn't help but loosen, and the ink-stained pen fell to the ground, staining the sand.

Even if he knew in advance that Lu Su would leave, he would hear bad news now. Huo Jun couldn't help but feel sad, and his heart suddenly felt empty, as if he had lost something.

"Zijing died of illness, how tragic!" Huo Jun sighed.

His mind was disturbed, Huo Jun had no intention of writing the "Epidemic Control Sutra", put the pen on the case, and got up from the couch.

"What is the king today?" Huo Jun asked.

"When the king heard the bad news, his heart was full of grief, and he wanted to bury Lu Du and chase his name!" The attendant replied, "Please go to the governor today, and discuss something important!" ”

"Good!"

Huo Jun reluctantly packed up his mood and went out of the account to find Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei is isolated, he is not far from Huo Jun, and in the time of a cup of tea, he will arrive at Liu Bei's big tent.

In the tent, Liu Bei held Lu Su's suicide note and paced back and forth, sighing sadly.

When Huo Jun entered the account, Liu Bei Zheng and left and right lamented and said: "Zijing and Gu have known each other for many years, and Fu Gu sits in Jiangnan. Now I died of malaria, and my lonely heart is full of sorrow! ”

"King!"

Seeing Huo Jun enter the account and salute, Liu Bei stepped forward to hold Huo Jun's hand and asked, "Zhong Miaoyu ordered that all those who died of the epidemic should be cremated." Today, I want to bury my son, I don't know if it's okay? ”

Huo Jun hesitated for a few moments and said, "Malaria is a disease of the great epidemic, and burning it with fire can dissipate the evil qi in the body. Now the king wants to bury Zijing, I'm afraid it will be against the decree! ”

In the Qin and Han dynasties of China, the scholars of the Central Plains mostly respected burial, and only the Qiang and Rong barbarians used cremation. It was not until the introduction of Buddhism that cremation was gradually accepted by the Han Chinese. However, even so, most dignitaries and dignitaries would use burial.

Liu Bei looked slightly dissatisfied, and said: "Zijing is not as good as ordinary people, how can it be destroyed by fire?" ”

"That's it!"

Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Huo Jun had no intention of insisting and said, "Zi Jing is the minister of the country, and it is feasible to have a thick burial." However, in order to avoid malaria scattering, when wormwood is used to protect the body and repel mosquitoes, it should be put into the coffin for the time being, and the burial should be carried out on a good day. ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei's expression became more pleasant, and said: "Zijing has made great contributions to the country, and he wants to chase after the title, I don't know if Zhu Qing can give advice?" ”

Fa Zheng pondered for a while and said: "Lu Du often has a strong festival, and he is willing to give. Assist the king to sit in the south, and then go south to appease the Jiaoling barbarians, and go north to govern the Jianghuai, during which there are many achievements, and it is very prestigious. In the right view, it may be possible to 'sue' as a sycophant. ”

"Su, just Deke, take a polite and respectful appearance. Lu Du takes Su as the name and Zijing as the word, and he is a frank and calm person, which can be described as a person like his name. Today's king takes 'Su' as his nickname, and the words echo each other, and there are few virtuous ministers in ancient times who have been honored by this! ”

Although Lu Su is not a good old man in the romance, he is a bold person, and everyone who comes into contact with Lu Su has a good impression of him. Even if the law is such a person who will repay him, he also has a lot of admiration for Lu Su.

"Suhou?"

Liu Bei muttered a few words, and said wistfully: "Zijing, people are like their names." Now take Su as a scold, and be a good man. ”

"Posthumously named Lu Su as the Marquis of Su, worshiped as the assassin of Yuzhou, and the general of Zhendong; Worship his son Lu Shu as the captain of the cavalry, and give 300 households. ”

Lu Su's son Lu Shu was only two years old, ignorant and ignorant, and was able to be crowned a lieutenant and enjoy 300 households, all because of the grace of his father Lu Su. In the future, as long as Lu Shu does not act recklessly, as long as she has military and political ability, her future will not be low.

After all, Lu Su, as the first minister of the Southern Han Dynasty to get the nickname, no matter what, his status is not low. And Huo Jun has a close relationship with Lu Su and will also take care of Lu Shu.

After a pause, Liu Bei added: "Come on, go to Wuhan immediately, and let Wang Can write a eulogy for Zijing." ”

"No!"

Then, Liu Bei turned his gaze to Huo Jun and asked, "After Zijing, who can be the deputy governor?" ”

Because Huo Jun is in Wuhan all the year round, Jianghuai has a principal and deputy governor, the principal governor is Huo Jun, and the deputy governor is Lu Su. In Huo Jun's absence, Lu Su sat in Jianghuai as a deputy governor.

Liu Bei chose Lu Su as the deputy governor of Jianghuai, and there were many political means.

Jianghuai has long been the basic plate of Huo Jun's generals, and it is easy to let unrelated people sit in Jianghuai, which will inevitably lead to disputes.

Lu Su was recommended by Huo Jun to Liu Bei, and he was a native of Jianghuai, so he was naturally close to Huo Jun's generals. And Lu Su was loyal to Liu Bei, and Lu Su sat in Jianghuai, which was conducive to Liu Bei's centralization.

Now that Lu Su, who has a complicated identity, he has passed away, and the deputy governor of Jianghuai cannot be empty for a long time, and he needs to choose another person to succeed him.

"This~"

Huo Jun looked embarrassed and said, "King, I don't know if Zijing can be recommended by someone?" ”

"Zijing recommends Jiujiang to guard Jiang Ji to succeed!" Liu Bei said directly.

Huo Jun pondered for a while, and then postponed his words: "King, the son is a generalist and shallow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete!" ”

"Huh?"
