Chapter 312 Epidemic (minor repair)

“What? People’s riots in Huainan?” Liu Zhun was also shocked when he suddenly heard such news when he was on the front line.

How could there be a civil commotion? Huainan is not short of food and grass, and the army is overwhelming. Isn’t the current rebellion seeking its own death? But if you think so, you can’t neglect this matter. After all, Yujia was in Huainan, if the rebellious army rushed into Shouchun, it would cause chaos.

However, whoever goes to quell the chaos and who continues to begs for rebellion is still very particular. Liu Zhun pondered for a moment, and said: “General Ning Shuo is all Yangzhou soldiers, so please order him to come back.”

This General Ning Shuo refers to Liu Kun. When the enemy lined up in Huaibei, Liu Zhun was worried that he would not be able to defend the enemy, so he specifically asked the emperor to pass on and recruited Yangzhou soldiers to come and rescue him. But now that the tailwind is fighting, Liu Kun’s existence is a bit an eye-catcher. Although the same surname is Liu, Liu Zhun and Liu Kun are not in the same ancestry, and Liu Kun is so famous that he would steal the limelight by his side. In that case, wouldn’t it be right to throw it back to calm the chaos?

As for the city of Yuzhou, it is best for him to conquer.

With the order of General Zhengdong, half of the soldiers and horses who had just crossed Huai Shui turned around and hurried back to Huainan County. Naturally, this action cannot hide from the enemy’s horse detection.

“In the Huainan civil strife, the servant man who transported grain has rebelled? I thought it would be delayed for a while.” Shi Le Sensen smiled.

Before, he was not simply avoiding the battle, but while retreating, gathered the disintegrated Wang Mi tribe. Wang Mi’s subordinates are mostly homeless people. Without the establishment, it’s like a headless fly, and the Jin army is chasing after him. As long as you give it some sweetness, you can use it for yourself. Therefore, the more Shile’s army retreats, the larger the number, and now there are 60,000 people. So many soldiers are not raised to eat free meals.

“Order the forward to push Ruyin, and take advantage of the rain to attack the city!”

Even the rain is really annoying, and it’s quite exhausting. I fought for a month, so how can the Jin army be brave in the first place? It’s better to take this opportunity to hit a dozen. Whether the city can be taken down or not is the second thing. The grain and grass in the hands of the Jin army is the key!

Following Shi Le’s order, the army of the Han State, which had been retreating, regained its footing and rushed towards the complacent enemy. In a blink of an eye, there was another killing in the north of Huai River!

With a muffled thunder across the sky, Sima Tan awoke suddenly and sat up in sweat. The weather is obviously less than the hottest, but Shouchun is different from Luoyang, it is hot and humid, even if it is placed in an ice basin, it is not suitable. Moreover, this small county government does not have much ice, so it is extremely difficult to endure after nightfall.

Seeing him waking up, the palace servant on the night hurried forward, wanting to wait. Sima Tan waved his hand, got up to stay, and walked barefoot to the window. The dark clouds in the sky cover the moon, and the silver and electricity flicker, as if the storm is about to come. If it rains heavily, can it stop the insurgents?

The originally good situation suddenly became uncontrollable. Huainan’s **** husband who transported grain and grass unexpectedly gathered a crowd to rebel, and 20,000 to 30,000 people gathered in just a few days. The nobles who settled in Huainan have not yet built a manor, and they are in danger with the rebellion, and even Shouchun has lost a barrier.

Liu Zhun did not hesitate at all, and ordered the Yangzhou soldiers to come back to help. Sima Tan originally thought that this gangster could be strangled in an instant, but Shile looked at the opportunity and re-emerged. Liu Zhun’s army was dragged to the north bank of the Huai River, let alone defeating the enemy, it was a blessing to be able to hold Ruyin and prevent Shi Le from leading his troops to cross the river.

Yu Miao, who was sent to Bingzhou, didn’t play any role either. The pseudo-Han is moving its capital, and the state is unstable. Liang Zixi sent Jizhou soldiers and horses to attack Cao Yi, which prevented him from going south. In this way, Xuzhou can also send troops to rescue him, but if Liang Feng defeats Cao Yi, will Qingzhou be sealed to him?

Why is he always able to win in danger, but on his own side, he often suffers? Is it really the gods and Buddhas blessing him?

A chill rushed to his back, and the little emperor shuddered, no longer willing to look anymore, and turned back to the couch. So half asleep and half awake, until dawn.

Obviously he didn’t sleep well, Sima Tan still got up early, dressed neatly, and walked to Chaotang. There is no court meeting today, but there have been frequent wars recently, and he can’t rest assured, always recruiting people for inquiries. A lot of effort was wasted, and the government affairs were finally handled. Sima Tan felt exhausted and couldn’t eat, so he ordered Concubine Xin Shu to meet him.

This concubine Xin Shu was born in Yingchuan and came to Shouchun with the team that moved south. As soon as he entered the palace, he was named the head of the nine concubines by Sima Tan, and he liked it very much. In addition to attending the bed, he also often called to accompany the banquet, but it was a heartwarming flower.

Unexpectedly, the palace man brought back bad news.

“Concubine Shu is ill?” Sima Tan frowned, “wasn’t it all right the day before yesterday?”

“Should be the heavy rain last night, feeling the wind and cold.” The palace man answered carefully.

If the concubine in the palace is ill, she cannot serve at the imperial court. Sima Tan sighed: “My life is too good to be cured. Then find some medicinal materials from Neiku, and give her to recuperate.”

Now the emperor is also impoverished, and the precious medicinal materials in the palace are scarcely scarce, which can be bestowed on the concubine Shu, which shows the grace. The palace man quickly took the order. Sima Tan also had no intention of recruiting other people, so he went back to make up for sleep after consuming meals hastily.

This time, I slept until evening. When he woke up, he felt pain all over his body, and he was still a little bit cold. He didn’t know whether he was sleeping too heavily or was feeling cold. Just as he was about to call for an imperial doctor to come and have a look, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the hall.

“Your Majesty! The imperial doctor said Concubine Shu was infected with the disease!”

what? ! Sima Tan stood up abruptly: “When did you get it?”

“The day before yesterday, Concubine Shu’s family entered the palace. It seems that she had contracted it at that time. The imperial doctor said…It is better to remove her from the palace…”

This is obviously a sign of serious illness. The palace in Shouchun is not as small as Luoyang, it is too small to house patients, so the palace can only be sent out.

However, Sima Tan is not concerned about this. Wasn’t it the day before yesterday that Concubine Shu went to bed? !

Fingers trembled, and he shouted: “Quickly, pass the doctor! And the way to avoid the epidemic in the palace? Clean the palace immediately, and you must not get the epidemic!”

The disease does not distinguish between high and low, once it strikes, it will be empty! It’s summer, and it’s the first time to arrive in the South. If the epidemic cannot be controlled, it will be fatal!

All he cares about is the little court and his own life. However, at this moment, the epidemic has spread to both sides of the Huai River along with the war and rain.

Just after Ruyin was defeated, there was news of a pandemic in the army. Shi Le’s face was pale, and he asked sharply, “How many people are now infected with the disease?”

“I’m afraid it’s not less than two thousand…” The military doctor replied with sweat on his head and trembling, “General, you can’t fight anymore! The southern miasma is too heavy, so let’s get out early!”

Yesterday there were only a few hundred, but today it has doubled. The horror of the epidemic is enough to make any generals fearful. I really can’t stay here anymore!

“Leave the camp immediately! Leave all those who have the disease.” Shi Le paused, “No, send those who have the disease to the front of the Jin army!”

The battle is impossible to fight, but this epidemic is not unavailable. Regardless of the way it was worn out, the more people Jin died, the better it would be for him. Maybe the entire Huainan will collapse with the epidemic!

However, his own soldiers and horses should also pay attention, Shi Le hesitated: “Didn’t Bingzhou spread the epidemic prevention measures? Do you know?”

The military doctor froze for a moment: “The general is talking about the Buddha’s method of avoiding epidemics?”

This military doctor was from the Huns, and he had been in contact with the epidemic avoidance method from the “Diamond Sutra”, so he asked directly.

If it were in the past, Shi Le would never admit what Buddha said. But now it’s no better than usual, he gritted his teeth and nodded: “Exactly! Follow the method to avoid the epidemic and stop the disease!”

The military doctor did not dare to neglect, nodded and said yes. Seeing the back of the other party hurriedly leaving, Shi Le also sighed. This Yuzhou battle, I am afraid it can only end in a hasty. I just don’t know what happened after returning to Yanzhou. If Cao Yi in Qingzhou is destroyed, his territory will be surrounded.

Now he can only ask for help from Chang’an. I only hope that Liu Yao can give him more soldiers and horses to help him gain a foothold in Yanzhou.

“What? A major epidemic occurred in Huainan?” At the same time, the news reached Sima Rui.

This is completely different from what was expected. The epidemic is no better than a military disaster, it is impossible to prevent!

“Immediately cut off the river to prevent boats from entering Jianye, and don’t let the epidemic spread to Jiangdong!” Sima Rui also ignored the aristocratic families in Huainan. The most important thing now is to save one’s own life.

It is good for the epidemic to be controlled in one place. If it spreads to other counties and counties in Yangzhou, the consequences are simply disastrous! Why did it suddenly become like this?

“The governor, cut off the river, I am afraid it will be difficult for Shouchun to explain. It is better to send the medicine across the river as soon as possible.” Director Wang said immediately.

Epidemic prevention is to prevent, but the posture must be done. After all, the emperor is in Shouchun, and there are countless families crowded in Jiangbei. If their lives are cut off, the consequences may be more terrible than the epidemic.

“This…” Sima Rui gaped, “But if the disease spreads…”

“In the early years, there was an epidemic prevention law in Binzhou. Why don’t you try it according to the law? A big city like Jinyang can stop the epidemic, and Jianye is not a bad idea.” Director Wang sighed softly, “Moreover, we must also explore the situation of Shouchun. If the emperor is also infected with the epidemic, the governor may have to plan early.”

Director Wang’s voice was soft, but the meaning in the words was very clear. If something happens to the emperor in Shouchun City, and he holds the power of the new emperor, he can’t fall into the hands of others.

This is not what it used to be. They made up their minds until Sima Rui was full of wings and became independent. However, now Xindu is just around the corner. Whether the emperor is dead or alive, the court is built, but it’s not that he can ascend if he wants to ascend the throne. The best way is to use the emperor to make the princes. Of course, it was not the present one, but the new monarch supported by Sima Rui.

As long as the little emperor in the city of Shouchun died in Huangquan.

Sweat came out of his palm, and Sima Rui wiped nervously on his knee: “It is reasonable…The epidemic prevention matter will be handed over to Maohong. And Shouchun, send the medicine as soon as possible…”

No one dares to say whether this medicine kills or saves people. As the frightening epidemic spread, several forces twisted together in Huainan.

“A-! A-!”

A sorrowful cry echoed in the rain. Regardless of the woman with disheveled hair and tears, the two men with thick faces rolled up the straw mat on the ground, converged the breathless corpse, and threw it on the side of the car.

One by one, a mountain of corpses has long been piled up on the simple cart. The epidemic came too fast, the scholars moved south, the refugees swarmed, and there were civil commotions and military disasters. The plague seemed to have grown wings and flew across the fields in an instant.

The insurgents did not attack and collapse themselves, and the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits were also panicked. Who has the heart to fight again? Avoiding the pandemic and saving one’s life is the top priority.

With a sound of “clang”, a man with a black scarf covering his face sounded the gong in his hand beside the corpse truck. In the harsh sound of gongs, the car squeaked forward. Hearing this noise, people kept raising straw mats in the houses on both sides of the road. The corpses were successively loaded into carts and transported to the outside of the village.

Now everyone knows that these sick bodies must be disposed of as soon as possible. No mortuary, no condolences, the rich should be buried as soon as possible, and the grave should be covered with white ash. Those who have no money can only let these corpse collectors pull away the remains, drag them outside the village to bury or burn them.

On the ground, you can see traces of white ash scattered from time to time. The air is full of the smell of burning mugwort.

Cannot eat raw water, cannot touch the clothes worn by the patient, or spit out the filth, cannot go to the crowded market, and even set fire to the corpse. If it were in the past, all sorts of impersonal restrictions would definitely cause trouble. Piansheng now has no guts to say no.

Because this is the only way to get rid of the epidemic ghost.

The Langya King of Jiangdong has dispatched personnel to come to Huainan to treat the plague, using this method of avoiding the epidemic. It stands to reason that no matter how easy it is to use, as long as it is contrary to the custom, it will never be implemented. Not to mention the anti-epidemic laws of Bingzhou, which are unclearly related to nonsense.

However, Huainan is not what it used to be. After the emperor moved the capital, the gentry near Shouchun has skyrocketed more than tenfold, and the villages and cities have been taken up. These people are not short-sighted fools and fools. Who in North Korea and China does not know about the state’s control of the epidemic? Who dares to be scornful about important matters concerning his wealth and life?

Therefore, whether you believe in Buddhism or not, this kind of epidemic prevention measures spread quickly like a gust of wind through the forest. And those ignorant people only know that there is a Buddha who has entered the world to eliminate disasters. Can save lives, who cares which **** is? Numerous unacceptable measures have gradually spread, and even brought some piety.

However, the drizzle cannot solve the wildfires, and even if someone does it with all their strength, the epidemic will not be controlled in a short while. Especially the army at the center of the battlefield.

“Has the Bingzhou medical officer not arrived yet?” Liu Zhun’s face was scorched. It has been seven days, and he dare not even go out of the city gate!

There was an epidemic in the army before, and before he could react, Shi Le’s soldiers and horses withdrew from Ruyin and dropped two thousand remnants. How could Liu Zhun expect that these two thousand people were not broken, but everyone was sick and plagued by epidemics and ghosts! Unprepared, the epidemic in the army ignited like wildfire. Don’t talk about the servants below, even a half of his soldiers have gotten sick!

retreat? Return to Shouchun as soon as possible? But now, they can’t go back.

An epidemic has also occurred in Huainan, so how can you let this sick soldier go back to make trouble? As the coach, he is even more unlikely to escape easily! Seeing that Ruyin’s disease became more intense day by day, there was a shortage of doctors and medicines. Liu Zhun only felt anxious. Knowing this long ago, he would rather not take back the credit of Yuzhou. Wouldn’t it be better to stay in Huainan?

At this moment, Binzhou got the news and sent a medical officer!

This is like the only driftwood that can be caught in the torrent! There has been no major epidemic in Binzhou for several years, and the method of epidemic prevention is indeed useful. Now that General Liang had learned of the Shouchun epidemic, a medical officer was sent to rescue him. He, the emperor and close minister, should personally **** the medical officer to Shouchun.

Only in this way can we just avoid the epidemic and escape back to Shouchun!

As for the army, stay in Ruyin and slowly control the epidemic. If today Zi is sick and unable to go to court, who would dare to suspect him as a leading general?

Just wait for the medical officer to arrive.

Liu Zhun was anxious, and Shi Le, who retreated to Yanzhou, didn’t feel very well. The military doctors under his staff know some epidemic prevention methods, but how can they control the epidemic with that superficial medical skill?

Therefore, Shi Le had to use the simplest method to leave the sick soldiers all the way, like a gecko, dock their tails for survival. This is not a good strategy. The soldiers in his army are complicated and unusual. There are Wang Mi surrendering soldiers, some are powerful and effective, and there are a lot of people in the Jin country. These people had turned to the enemy in battle, and wanted to survive, but now they encountered such a cruel handling by Shi Le, the army was suddenly in turmoil.

The original morale was high, and the army, which had repeatedly fought and won, fled tens of thousands in just a few days, and Shi Le was a little overwhelmed. But the epidemic is looming in front of him, and even he can’t think of anything else. Fortunately, Shi Lejun has a lot of miscellaneous clutter, and even more believers in Buddhism. The method of epidemic prevention was originally taught by the Buddha to save the world and the people.

In order to stabilize people’s hearts, Shi Le had to let the name of Buddha spread throughout the army. Suddenly, the number of Buddhist believers increased sharply, and even the memorial tablets appeared. The pandemic is threatening, and who doesn’t want to be safe, disease-free and disaster-free?

However, if the military’s mind was stabilized, the Buddha’s reputation could not be shaken off. My own site can be closely connected to Sizhou and Jizhou. Who does not know that these states belong to Liang Feng? If there is a war in the future, do these gangsters still dare to do their best?

As a Jie person, Shi Le relied on his subordinates. A major epidemic has simply moved his roots. However, no matter how wrong it is, it can’t resist the fear of death. Shi Le could only grit his teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.

As long as Bingzhou is not touched for the time being, there is always room for change. The top priority is to save lives.

Within the territory of Yuzhou, the flames of war have been eliminated. But the Shouchun Palace is not half easy.

The emperor has also contracted the epidemic and has closed his bedroom. This is a malignant disease, even if you are the honorable of the ninety-five years, it may not be safe and sound. At this time, the loyalty of King Langya was revealed. It is really hard to be able to send medical officers to Shouchun. It’s just that some people may not welcome these saviors.

“The medical officer from Bingzhou has passed Huai Shui?” Jingling King Sima Zhu frowned and asked.

“At most one day, we will reach the king’s city.” The confidant below replied in a low voice.

“This Liang Feng is really troublesome!” Sima Zhu cursed.

As Sima Yan’s cousin, Sima Chu has a high level of seniority in the clan and has also been reused. But before, he had a discord with Sima Yue, far away from the center. Later, Sima Yue died, and he was never reused by the little emperor, so he could only be an idle princess.

How can this make people willing? However, the little emperor was very jealous and focused on power. Sima Chu couldn’t find a chance to get ahead for a while. Moving the capital to Shouchun made him full of resentment. Sima Tan, a yellow-mouthed child, is too timid. If he can last a few more months, maybe the Huns will move their capital first. How can they move thousands of miles to a savage land like Shouchun?

It’s fine now. First there was a war, and then an epidemic. I don’t know how many people died, causing panic. Every family closed their doors. The resentment and anger in Sima Zhu’s heart immediately increased a bit. If it is not for the emperor in the palace, why is this?

How to deal with it, Sima Zhu has seen too many precedents. It happened that the little emperor was seriously ill and was in bed, so he began to collude with the court lieutenant, wanting to learn from the previous county kings and seek power.

It is precisely because of this that when King Langya sent the medical officer, he was very unhappy. Fortunately, these medical officers looked mediocre, but they were of little use. The little emperor was still unconscious and showed no signs of recovery.

However, Jiangdong’s medical officer was incompetent, and he came from the state. If they were to save the emperor, wouldn’t they miss the opportunity again? It seems that we have to prepare in advance…

“Tell me to go down and let the waiter do it.” After hesitating for a while, Sima Zhu finally said.

It’s a pity that there was an epidemic in the palace, and he didn’t dare to rush, let alone control Sima Tan Lisi’s life. Without the righteous prince, it is really a bit troublesome.

However, under the epidemic, others may not be able to compete with him for power. It’s always better than usual.

This Shouchun, he didn’t want to stay anymore. It is better to return to Luoyang as soon as possible.

The next day, Tianzi’s condition suddenly became severe. Before midnight, Long Yu Bintian.
