Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Cause of the Change

The reasons for the misery of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the looting of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the war losses of the princes' conquests, and the excessively high conscription and taxes are only one of the reasons, compared to these, massacres, plagues, and natural disasters are more important reasons.

Slaughter the city, and kill more for slaughter.

Cao Wu, who has received the baptism of modern education, naturally can't accept this kind of thing, especially when his brother Cao Mengde is famous for his massacre.

After crossing over, he made a lot of efforts to convince Cao Cao and his generals to stop some of Cao Cao's massacre.

But what he could have prevented, after all, was not enough, and there were still some massacres happening.

Sun Quan went west to conquer Huang Zu, and finally killed Huang Zu, in order to avenge his father, he slaughtered the city where Huang Zu's main force was stationed, and Ling Tong's father Ling Cao also died in the hands of Huang Zu, as an executor, he executed it very seriously.

Then, for strategic purposes, Sun Quan abandoned these cities and retreated south of the Yangtze River and east of the Han River.

When Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, arrived at the remaining half of Jiangxia, he was faced with corpses all over the ground.

The ancients obviously did not have the ability to properly dispose of corpses, and Liu Qi, who was short of manpower, did not handle these things well, which eventually led to the spread of the epidemic near Jiangxia.

Of course, this is not to blame Liu Qi, but only to blame the husband of the beautiful woman next to him for failing to persuade Sun Quan.

Cao Wu and Xiao Qiao stood in the distance, watching the two people carrying the corpse put the corpse covered with a white cloth into the temple, but there was no movement.

After a while, the door of the ruined temple was closed, as if the two men were no longer planning to come out.

Cao Wu stubbornly shouted: "The two inside, please, may I ask if the people on the ground died of the epidemic?" ”

One of the men inside replied, "Exactly, it was my father and my younger brother who died." The day before yesterday, a miracle doctor came to the town, saying that there was an epidemic in my family, and asked us to live outside temporarily. Who would have thought, hey ......"

He said "hey", but he didn't mean to laugh at all, and then said: "I packed up my things and came out, there was nowhere to stay anywhere, and I was still on the road, and there were no two people at home." Only me and my second brother are left. ”

The other man sighed too.

Cao Wu thought about it, he knew the truth about the need to isolate the epidemic, and he didn't say much. But I don't know which way of the miracle doctor, as an ancient, I also know this.

He said: "Listen to me, it's better to dispose of the body and stay in the temple again." ”

The man said: "Thank you for reminding me." The divine doctor had already told me this, and after a while we were mourned, and then we listened to the divine doctor and burned them......"

Xiao Qiao pursed his lips, and suddenly heard about this human tragedy, his eyes were red and said, "Can we help them?" ”

Cao Wu shook his head: "We are still fleeing." Being able to remind you to burn the corpse is already benevolent and righteous. ”

Xiao Qiao pinched the corners of his clothes in a depressed mood, sighed and said, "Maybe if they win, the people will be able to live a good life." ”

The man in the house also heard their conversation and replied, "I'm afraid this lady hasn't been to Jiangxia." After the Jiangdong thieves slaughtered Jiangxia, there were not a few families left in a hundred households, how could there be a good life? ”

Another man sighed: "Yes, it's been ten years, Jiangxia has been fighting for ten years!" The Jiangdong thieves occupied Jiangxia, and they did not stop for miles, and the day before yesterday I saw a sail and went west. ”

Little Joe's eyes widened.

"Koto...... Thief? ”

The world she knows does not support her understanding of such a title at all, the six counties of Jiangdong gathered their forces and captured Jiangxia, which was a first-class good thing for Jiangdong, how could they become thieves?

She remembered that on the day Jiangxia was recovered, Wu Jun was full of lights, and the ministers of Danyang applauded, but did they turn out to be thieves?

Xiao Qiao let go of the corners of his clothes, and for a while, his two hands didn't know where to put them.

Cao Wudao: "Different positions, different angles of looking at problems, you rarely go out, and it is not surprising that you don't understand this truth." Maybe one day, I'll stand against you. ”

In troubled times, human life is like a mustard, these two people look quite strong, but when it comes to the real battlefield, how many knives and shots can they resist?

Xiao Qiao is a boudoir woman after all, and she doesn't understand these fights and killings, and Cao Wu doesn't expect her to understand.

Even if it was him, it would take a long time to come through before he could accept this chaotic world like a copper furnace in purgatory.

Compared to many traversers who can adapt to the place as soon as they arrive, and there is no sense of disobedience in adaptation, he is really not the best in this.

Xiao Qiao bit his lip and said, "But Mr. and we are already allies......"

Cao Wu waved his hand and stopped her.

Both of them were quite careful, and they didn't say that they came from Jiangdong, Xiao Qiao was preoccupied, and Cao Wu didn't want to stay longer, but there was still a question that was not solved, and asked: "Do you know the two of you, what is the name of the divine doctor you are talking about?" ”

"I don't know."

"There are miracles in the hands of the miracle doctors, and they are not something that we croppers can understand."

Two replies came, Cao Wu nodded, knowing that they couldn't see it in the house, but still bowed his hand and said, "Those two are precious, don't pass it over!" ”

The two of them rode forward, Cao Wu took Xiao Qiao to the Yangtze River, found a shoal and said, "You go and wash, let's go and go after washing." ”

Anyway, regardless of Xiao Qiao's red face, he went to wash his hands and wash his body first.

Although I don't know what virus this epidemic is, it must not be easy to deal with it if it has been infected since the spring.

He didn't have direct contact with the two men, but it was better to do a good job of hygiene.

After washing herself, she looked back at Xiao Qiao, but she struggled not to wash.

Cao Wudao: "If you don't want to, wash your hands and face, so as not to be infected with the epidemic." ”

As soon as he heard that he would be infected, Xiao Qiao's flushed face immediately turned pale, and he nervously washed his face and hands.

After washing for a long time, she came to find Cao Wu, and as soon as she got close to Cao Wu, she immediately said "ah", pointing at Cao Wudao: "You...... You...... Your face ......"

Cao Wu wondered: "What's wrong with me, what's on my face?" ”

The surface of the river is not as good as the water of a small river, and he can't be a mirror, so he found a puddle next to him, took a photo, and was speechless for a moment.

It turned out that Ah Da put on the makeup he put on him, but after washing his face this time, he washed it all off, revealing his true face, no wonder Xiao Qiao was surprised.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiao was simple by nature, and Cao Wu casually found such a convenient reason to hide and prevaricate.

The two rested by the river for a while before heading west along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

……

At the same time, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, in a forest, Ah Da, Zhang Xia and others were also resting.

There were almost no pedestrians on the north shore, and they still learned from a beggar that Cao's army was attacking the city.

"Since Shiyang has been captured, there will definitely be a garrison, it just so happens that I know General Zhang Wenyuan, let's go there and wait."

Zhang Xia nodded, when the general was there, he listened to the general, and when the general was gone, he listened to the eldest lady, there was nothing to question about it.

Ah Da extinguished the bonfire and ordered Zhang Xia and the others to go west along the north bank.

When riding her white horse, Ah Da turned back three times in one step, and when she remembered it, she was still red and white, but when she went back, she was left alone, and she was stunned in her heart.

I don't know what happened to that miscellaneous general who loves to make people angry.

Do you follow Sun Ben back to Chaisang and then find a way, or have you already escaped?

No matter what, she didn't want to be a burden, she chose to believe in Cao Wu's ability and believed that Cao Wu could cope with it herself.

All she can do is see Zhang Liao and find a way to save people.

But......

There is still a trace of worry in her heart, some people, the ability is no problem, but this character is ......

"Huh...... I'm afraid it's not Zhou Yu, there is already a green grassland on his head. ”

In the cold wind, Ah Da rubbed his hands, used an adjective derived from Cao Wu, and said with a sneer.

……

"Ahh

Cao Wu sneezed.

After another night and a day, he had successfully bypassed Wuchang City.

A short distance to the west, you can see the majestic Xiakou Castle on the north bank, but there will be no castle on the south bank.

Continuing westward, it should be possible to foresee Cao Cao's million-strong army, and he will be safe by then.

As for Xiao Qiao, since he promised Xiao Qiao, he would naturally let Xiao Qiao see Zhou Yu and Da Qiao, he would not break his promise, he would find a way to do it. I hope that at that time, Zhou Yu did not become Cao Cao's prisoner.

Thinking like this, Cao Wu saw from afar that a village was brightly lit, and he heard someone shouting the word "divine doctor", and he couldn't help but move his ears.

I didn't expect him to meet that miracle doctor.

He drove his horse closer, and when he listened carefully, his face suddenly changed.

Because the villagers shouted: "Hua Tuo Divine Doctor!" ”
