Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 713 Disaster!
Since Yuan Shu died, the rebellion in Runan has not stopped.

When Cao Cao led his army to attack Runan, what he saw was a scene of purgatory on earth.

"What happened in Runan?"

This is what Cao Cao and everyone wants to know most.

The spies who spread out in all directions brought back the news, and Cao Cao and others listened to the cause and effect in silence and shock.

A mutiny broke out in Yuan Shu's army, and a civil uprising broke out again in Runan, and there were more than one.

These rebels are not just ordinary people.

When subjected to a reign of terror, ordinary people naturally suffer.

But in fact, powerful people are also miserable. These people are the main source of military elites and are also responsible for providing food and grass to warlords.

When you encounter a normal warlord, you can still cooperate. When you encounter a tyrannical monarch, you are lucky to be able to keep your family safe.

Obviously, the powerful people in Runan County were not lucky enough.

Yuan Shu treats every subject under his rule equally, regardless of whether he is noble or not.

Naturally, it caused people to betray their relatives and alienate them.

The Yuan family in Runan faced a disaster. They could only rely on the city to defend themselves against the enemy, but lives were still passing away one by one.

There were thousands of Yuan clan members, and nearly half of them died. It can be said that it was a disaster unprecedented since the Later Han Dynasty.

Not only the offensive and defensive battles between the Yuan family and the rebels, but also the war between these rebels, the entire Runan County became a mess.

Facing the complicated situation in Runan County, Cao Cao only felt that his headache was getting worse.

What he wants is a complete Runan County, so that he can occupy the complete Yanzhou and Yuzhou as well as the Henan County at the core of Sizhou.

He will suddenly become the largest prince in the world, and he will not be afraid at all even if he faces Yuan Shao who captures Youzhou.

Liu Bei, who was his equal at the beginning, is no longer his opponent at all.

But the premise is that he must receive the complete Runan County.

Before Cao Cao could ask Dong Zhao about it, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, the chaos in Runan must be put down vigorously and resolutely.

You think that you should suppress and caress at the same time.

Those who secretly harbor evil intentions, have evil intentions, and deliberately indulge in chaos must be killed without mercy and resolutely.

And there will be a killing spree!

For those who are willing to surrender and stabilize the situation, appease them first to see the consequences.

When these people saw the blood, they felt indulgent in their hearts.

They are no longer those kind people, so they need to be treated with caution, otherwise a mistake will backfire. "

All the counselors' faces were solemn.

Humans are just like wild beasts. Once a wild beast eats a human, it will never forget the taste and will continue to eat humans in the future.

Once people cause chaos, they will continue to cause chaos in the future.

The people in this world are always revolting, and these people who have experienced it will all become restless elements in the future.

Cao Cao sighed, even if he occupied Runan, he would have to be careful here in the future, as there was no telling when there would be another rebellion here.

Although Xun You had a solemn look on his face, he comforted him with a warm voice: "My lord, there is no need to be so pessimistic.

Among the states and counties in Guandong, which one has not experienced the Taiping Army?

How could the chaos in the hearts of people all over the world only occur in this short moment?

Our army is pressing down on the territory, and the rebel leaders in the territory will definitely be afraid. It will not be difficult to pacify them. The lord can send one person to lead the army to accept their surrender.

Yuan Shu was defeated too quickly, and the other princes may not have entered Runan yet.

Now you should personally lead the army to prevent Liu Biao, Luo Chu and Liu Bei from entering. This is the most critical point.

A complete Runan County will make the imperial court more powerful. "

After some further discussion, the group of people left the camp and began the final step of the Runan strategy.

Just as Xun You said, Yuan Shu's defeat could be guessed by the three counselors, but they never expected it to happen so quickly.

The first person to receive news of Yuan Shu's defeat was Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

The Jingzhou nobles were rarely willing to take the initiative, because the battle with Yuan Shu caused a lot of casualties, and many people had a grudge against Yuan Shu.

After Liu Biao reached a reconciliation with Zhao Hong, the governor of Nanyang, Zhao Hong temporarily became Liu Biao's vassal.

To the west of Runan County is Nanyang County.

When Liu Biao led the army halfway, he saw clumps of embarrassed people, and even some powerful men fleeing from Runan County to Jingzhou in groups.

Kuai Yue felt bad when he saw this scene. When the two armies are fighting, it is the time when the control of the rulers is the strictest.

During the Warring States Period, whenever there was a war, it was even directly controlled like a prison.

Kuai Yue pulled the fleeing people over and asked, and learned the news of Yuan Shu's defeat.

Liu Biao was dumbfounded and said: "Yuan Shu's food, fodder, and troops are better than Cao Cao's. Even if he is defeated, how can he be defeated to such an extent?"

Kuai Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it just a massive defeat?
It was as if they were made of paper. They failed without any struggle at all. Even if Cao Cao kept the 10 people motionless and let Cao Cao cut them, for three days and three nights, with the blades curled up and the arrows shot out, he still wouldn't be able to kill them all. Endless.

Yuan Shu is a waste!

waste! "

Kuai Yue became more and more angry as he thought about it. Yuan Shu's sudden defeat was likely to make Cao Cao's power suddenly grow stronger and stand on a foothold with Yuan Shao.

This is simply the worst ending for Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue was a typical Jingzhou local faction. He was unwilling to waste Jingzhou's power to fight for the world for Liu Biao. He was ready to surrender directly after the Central Plains overlord appeared, without losing his status as a feudal lord.

Kuai Yue had always sided with Yuan Shao before, because he believed that Yuan Shao had the capital to unify the world and would sweep across the Central Plains sooner or later.

But that's not necessarily the case now. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are about the same strength, who should they turn to?
Kuai Yue couldn't see who would win, so he didn't dare to take sides.

He also didn't dare to repeatedly jump between the two of them. It was taboo on both sides of the head and rat. Even if Jingzhou could still surrender normally in the future, what would Kuai do?
Kuai Yue thought more and more anxiously, and there was no way to break the situation.

……

On the river, the waves were roaring, and the big ships suppressed the wind and waves. The Jiangdong army attacked naturally by boat.

Jiangxia County is just south of Runan County, and people also fled here.

Luo Chu and other high-ranking officials from Jiangdong's army were all on the big ship. It could be said that except for civil servants like Er Zhang who were purely internal affairs, they all came with the army.

Luo Chu is really ready to fight Cao Cao.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su accompanied Luo Chu and were discussing how to let Cao Cao cede the five southern counties in Runan County to Jiangxia County.

Then I heard Zhou Tai's surprised voice coming from the vanguard's ship.

"Sir, there is a corpse under the river!" Corpse?

Luo Chu and others heard the sound and walked to the deck of the ship. As soon as they took a look, they saw a corpse floating out of Runan County in front of everyone.

That's a lot of corpses!

Moreover, the corpses had been soaking in the water for who knows how long, and they were just floating down the river.

After it was completely swollen and rotten, it no longer looked like its original appearance, but the tragic scene was still something that everyone would never forget.

How many people have died?

Can it flow here?

This was what Luo Chu and others were thinking. It was a completely unbelievable feeling. Lu Su said with some uncertainty: "Is this a war in Nanyang?

impossible!

There was no way that Jiangxia County didn't have any warning. I couldn't have known that this was a battle between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao? "

Luo Chu looked at the soaked and swollen corpses and felt waves of coldness attack his whole body.

Then there is the feeling of numbness in the scalp.

He had never been more fearful than he was now. Fear invaded his heart.

Almost at the moment when the heart-wrenching feeling enveloped his heart, he shouted: "Immediately warn everyone not to touch these corpses!
Beware of the plague!

Beware of the plague! "

In order to explore the identities of these corpses, some corpses were carried onto the deck. After receiving Luo Chu's order, they were quickly thrown into the water.

Luo Chu came back from his brief fear and realized that it was extremely dangerous for the body to float downstream like this!
Because the downstream is Jiangdong!

Let these corpses float to Jiangdong like this. In such hot weather, the south of the Huaihe River is already warm and humid. It is simply a natural place for plague to occur.

But just salvaging the bodies like this is courting death.

The army was already prone to plagues. Since Luo Chu came to Jiangdong, large-scale plagues had actually occurred twice in the army.

It was just that they were all under control, but it still interrupted the process of conquering Shankoshi.

It was too late to take precautions on weekdays, so how could he take the initiative to provoke corpses that were extremely likely to carry the plague at this time?

dilemma!

In this era, the treatments for plague were still too weak, and they almost entirely relied on humans to fight them.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others had never seen Luo Chu look so horrified.

Ever since Luo Chu entered Jiangdong, he had acted calmly and calmly no matter what he did, as if nothing was difficult in the world.

But not now!
Luo Chu understood that he could only accomplish what those people could accomplish, and things like the plague were beyond his ability.

After only pondering for a second, Luo Chu already made a decision in his heart.

He immediately said to Lu Su and Zhou Yu: "Quickly send a team of troops to intercept all the corpses flowing to Jiangdong, then cover them all with lime and burn them.

After being burned, all the soldiers who salvaged the corpses were washed with boiled water and then organized into an army individually.

Isn’t there a newly captured Shanyue slave army in the army?
Just let them go, and after completing this matter, give them a credit, and they can slowly atone for their sins.

Immediately send people back to Jiangdong, invite doctors from all counties, and then gather all the medicinal herbs in the counties to be prepared.

The remaining people will follow me to Runan to see how the situation is in Runan? "

Lu Su was shocked. Luo Chu's arrangement was to focus on defense rather than attack. He first agreed, and then asked doubtfully: "Sir, there are not many corpses after the war. Why are you so careful this time?" ah?"

There is no telling when the plague will come.

Sometimes they see corpses piled up in mountains, with flies flying around, and the smell is extremely rotten. Everyone thinks something is going to happen, but in the end nothing happens.

Sometimes there is nothing serious, but a major epidemic occurs just because the army is not accustomed to the climate and does not pay attention to hygiene. Who can say for sure?

Luo Chu heard this and said coldly: "I am from the Luo family in this state, so I am naturally more proficient in medical skills than you. My uncle is a master of medicine in this world, and he often studies plagues.

Since entering Jiangdong.

The number of plagues in Koto has decreased, and the degree of harm has also decreased. This is due to proper prevention in this state.

Now south of the Huaihe River, the sun has not been seen for more than a month. The rainy season has been continuous for several days, which is when the plague breeds.

Although this river is relied upon by thousands of people for survival, it actually contains countless diseases.

This is why the state requires everyone to drink boiled water
It is to prevent diseases in these raw water.

The corpses rotted and soaked in the rivers. During the warm and humid rainy season, hundreds of corpses gathered together. It was simply terrifying!
This state has never been more fearful than it is now!

The epidemic kills people invisible, so you all have to be extremely careful. You don’t want to die young due to the epidemic before you have achieved fame, right? "

This time, both Zhou Yu and Lu Su felt a chill coming over them, and the coldness hit their necks straight.

The Jiangdong army, which was heading directly to Runan, began to deal with the corpses in separate groups, and most of them sped away.

Naturally, Liu Bei also encountered what Luo Chu encountered, but problems arose.

Luo Qi was stationed in Donghai County and taught Zhuge Liang, the disciple he had just accepted.

The reason why Luo Qi did not follow Liu Bei out was because for a simple plan, Liu Ye and Xu Shu, who had just joined Liu Bei's camp, were enough.

Liu Bei led the Xuzhou army to quickly march towards Runan County. He would never allow Cao Cao to obtain a complete Runan County.

The traditional five states east of Luoyang, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, were the foundation for the prosperity of Han industry under Emperor Guangwu.

These five states plus the Sanhe area were the most populous and economically prosperous region in the world for a hundred years after the Han Dynasty.

The three people who occupy these five states are Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao has complete Jizhou and most of Qingzhou and Hanoi County, and is very likely to have Youzhou and Bingzhou as allies. Cao Cao has Yanzhou and Henan County, and Liu Bei has Xuzhou and Taishan County.

This was originally the pattern of Cao Cao and Liu Bei fighting against Yuan Shao. The two weak fought against the strong, which was very reasonable.

If Cao Cao gets Runan County, Cao Cao will occupy Yanzhou plus Yuzhou plus Henan County.

The situation in the five states will instantly become that of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who are both strong, and Liu Bei is weak.

How could Liu Bei endure this?
No matter who is the boss, Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, Liu Bei knows that he will definitely die, and those two people must first unite to divide him up.

For Liu Bei now, his failure is certainly sad, but Cao Cao's success is even more heartbreaking!
Even if he tried his best, he would still break Cao Cao's wings so that Cao Cao could only fight with him as brothers and sisters against Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao thought of flying solo and being beautiful, that was simply a dream!

In the summer and May of the eighth year of Jian'an, Henan was in Xuzhou, and the country was everywhere.

In the summer and June of the eighth year of Jian'an, there was a drought in Yanyu, and the red land was thousands of miles away.

In the summer of the eighth year of Jian'an, in July, corpses floated in the river, and a great epidemic broke out. ——"Book of the Later Han·Five Elements"
