Chapter 2112 Another invisible war
Feiqian looked up at the raindrops falling from the sky.
Not long after leaving Wuguan, it rained. The territory of China is vast, and the weather is often different for ten miles. Basically, it is impossible to have a unified weather across the country. It is always different. Guanzhong is still cool, and then it is rainy when entering Nanyang, which is also normal.
It was raining and the roads were muddy.
Also ruined Fei Qian''s original plan...
In this weather, even if gunpowder can be used, the effect is not good.
have no choice.
At the same time, the speed of action of soldiers has to be restricted by traffic roads.
You know, during these years in Jingzhou, Liu Biao really did not build any infrastructure in Nanyang. Even the original water conservancy equipment is basically in a state of half-repair. The accumulation of water, and the spread of the accumulation of water caused more places to be spread, and then watered to become a mud pond.
"Kong Ming''s move to abandon Fancheng is good..." Fei Qian said to Zhuge Liang, "When a person walks on the road, he sees the beautiful flowers beside the road, so he leaves the road and picks them. He puts them on the top of his shirt, and when he sees mushrooms on the trunk, he walks quickly to pick them. , I heard a strange voice in the forest, so I searched for it and went in... Hehe, but I forgot my original intention, lost in the forest and couldn''t get out...Kong Ming kept his true heart and never forgot, it''s quite rare...」
Zhuge Dianliang nodded, cupped his hands and said "hussar" for the prize.
This phenomenon of forgetting the way while walking can happen to people at any level.
Feiqian''s original strategy was to attract the grassroots people in Jingzhou as much as possible, rather than to acquire the land of Jingzhou, and to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. This is the overall strategic tone of this time to go south to Jingzhou. Unfortunately, sometimes people often As I walked, I forgot my original goal, and lost my way by pulling some small flowers and mushrooms.
What''s the use of keeping Fancheng, is there a bunch of small Fancheng?
Regardless of the gains and losses of a city or a place, there are many generals who win in the overall situation in history. You can list some people at random, but at Zhuge Liang''s current age, he can not be swayed by the immediate interests and greed. It is very rare to be blinded by others and always stick to one''s heart.
Especially when Zhuge Liang was the main strategic planner for the partial army for the first time, he could think clearly and stand firm, and would not change the original strategic focus because of some tedious or sudden incidents. This is almost the prototype of an excellent commander. Of course, from a certain point of view, maybe it is also a kind of paranoia? Ordinary people are too easily troubled by the extra things around them, and then they just go here and there, and after a long time, they lose their original ideas. Only those who persist and work hard finally reach the pinnacle of success.
The purpose of Feiqian Battle of Jingzhou is very simple, it is the core word, "people"!
The working people are extremely great. This greatness lies in the fact that these workers always pay more than they get paid, so they can become the foundation of a country and a society, but the same is also the most often ignored , because those who shine high above are basically not these ordinary working people.
Feiqian is very poor now. Although he has three hundred miles of Qinguan, he is still very poor.
The main reason is that the population in Guanzhong is too small. If more people come in, the bonus can be eaten for at least three generations!
Therefore, Feiqian needs more people. As for the people from Yuzhou, Jizhou, or Jingzhou, it is fine, but obviously, Cao Cao will hold on to the population of Jizhou and Yuzhou, so the only one that can attract a large number of laborers at the moment The location of the people is the war-torn Jingzhou.
To a certain extent, these refugees from Jingzhou will definitely be better off under Feiqian than in other places. Among other things, at least Feiqian will try their best to resettle them here, while other princes basically let them go. Fend for itself, although Fei Qian dare not say that there is no exploitation at all, but Fei Qian is also taking care of some of these ordinary big men as much as possible.
can only be the maximum possible under the current conditions...
Now in the Han Dynasty, if Fei Qian’s thinking cannot be ahead of the natives of the Han Dynasty, and cannot make some positive changes to improve the working environment for the overall healthy development of the Han Dynasty, then I am really ashamed of myself for having evolved for nearly two thousand years... and those who want to Turning around and going back to advocate the 715 restoration should be voluntary. To be honest, do you really not take the laws made by the hammer and sickle seriously?
『If you talk about it, there is something wrong...Maybe...』Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, "It should be possible to bring more people to Guanzhong..."
Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Kong Ming is too worried. Thousands of people have thousands of mouths and thousands of wishes, and it is bound to be difficult to reconcile them. It is only necessary to seek the multitude, not the perfection. 』
Zhuge Liang sighed, bowed his head and said: "I would like to be taught. 』Then Zhuge Liang raised his head and glanced at Fei Qian, as if he remembered something, but he couldn''t say it, he seemed a little hesitant.
『If Kong Ming has something else to do, you might as well speak it out. ’ Fei Qian noticed that Zhuge Liang seemed to have something else going on, so he said.
Zhuge Liang then recounted that the exiles refused to leave, so it was impossible to say it anyway, and then when Cao Jun came, he told the story of fleeing in a panic crying for his father and mother, and said with a slight sigh, "Why is this so?" 』For a person like Zhuge Liang who has been in the lawful camp for a long time, it is indeed difficult to understand and summarize the behavioral laws of a chaotic camp.
Fei Qian thought about it for a while, and said four words, ""seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages"... People''s livelihood governance is convenient in these four words, Kong Ming may wish to think about it..."
Zhuge Liang repeated it. When he was thinking about it, the banner in front shook a few times, and Liao Hua came back.
Seeing Fei Qian''s arrival, Cao Jun naturally returned to Fancheng, Xiangyang in a hurry. After the rain stopped a little, Liao Hua, who got the news, crossed Danshui and came back.
Liao Hua''s whole body was in a state of embarrassment, all the clothes and armor on his body were covered with mud, and even the gaps in the armor plates were filled with yellow mud, he looked like a mud monkey.
Fei Qian asked Liao Hua to wash up first. After Liao Hua changed his clothes, Fei Qian knew that Liao Hua encountered a mudslide on the way back. Of course it was a small scale, but even so, he almost died...
"The mud and rocks are rolling down, if you hesitate for a moment... the corpses are rolling in the mud and rocks, like a ghost lurking underground..." Liao Hua still felt a little apprehensive when he thought about it, and his voice trembled slightly, "Just like those refugees Ordinarily, being buried in the underworld is also...』
『Corpse? Fei Qian frowned slightly, "There are many corpses in the mountains? 』
Liao Hua nodded.
Cao Jun pursued and looted on the one hand, causing many refugees in the mountains to be trapped, and many died directly on the road...
『So, I’m afraid it’s not good...』 Fei Qian frowned and said, 『There are too many corpses...and the rain washes away...』
Zhuge Liang thought very quickly, and immediately said: "Hussars are worried about...the epidemic?" 』
As we all know, Fei Qian is at the forefront of all the princes in terms of disease prevention and epidemic prevention, especially the control and prevention of plague, which is so strict that some local princes scoff at it. It’s not that these princes didn’t care about the seriousness of the plague, it’s just that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, including the three or four hundred years of the Western Han Dynasty, although there were plagues, the plague didn’t last long, and it didn’t seem like a big braid in the heyday of the world. As in the dynasty, there are plagues 80% of the time...
Of course, the increase and flow of population, foreign germs, acclimatization, and differences between the north and the south are also important factors that caused the plagues of the feudal dynasties to increase from generation to generation, and reached their peak in the big braid dynasty.
Suddenly, Fei Qian''s expression turned ugly.
All the items above seem to be contaminated with some…
At a certain moment, Fei Qian even felt that the surrounding air was rippling green. Fei Qian wrote an order to call the doctors of the medical center and related medicinal materials, "Come here, send an order to the Chang''an Hundred Medical Center..."
The messenger left, and Fei Qian said again, "Let the soldiers in the army prepare more lime and sulfur, and take a bath to eliminate the epidemic!" Yuan Jian, you also go to wash it one more time, and drink a bowl after the doctor prepares the soup...』
This kind of thing should never be taken lightly. Although Liao Hua had just washed up, but after being told by Fei Qian, his scalp felt a little numb, and he always felt uncomfortable all over, so he hurriedly responded and went to follow the epidemic prevention standards Brush off.
『Jingzhou War...』Zhuge Liang asked, 『Isn’t it......』
『Pass a certain flag to Jingzhou, call for a truce! 』Fei Qian nodded and said, this thing should not have any fluke mentality. Are there still few lessons in history for those who thought nothing happened but turned out to be big?
『The order will go on, anyone who has symptoms of coughing, leaking, leaking, vomiting, etc., will set up camp elsewhere and be treated in isolation! 』
After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic!
If this is in later generations, it will become the prevention of major epidemics after major disasters. The so-called reason for this is that in ancient China, China really suffered from the plague...
Since ancient times, humans and microorganisms have been in a very contradictory situation. On the one hand, humans can use microorganisms to create fine wine, yeast and other items. On the other hand, since the birth of human beings, they have waged an endless war with microorganisms.
Although the war between people is cruel and bloody, the war between people and germs is silent. In particular, the plague has become an important reason for the sharp decline in the ancient population.
The earliest records about the plague began in the pre-Qin period, and the plague did not only occur in spring and summer, but in all seasons. It can be said that the plague can occur regardless of the season. Since the Qin Dynasty, the historian has gradually become an important official position in the court. It also left a lot of records in this regard.
From 700 BC to the end of the Dazizi Dynasty, in the nearly 3,000-year lifespan of the Chinese feudal dynasty, nearly 700 years were full of tragedies of various plagues. And in the entire history of nearly three thousand years, my Qing dynasty has been honored to double the crown in terms of the total amount and duration of plagues, and crowned with double crowns!
As for the places with the most plague outbreaks in the feudal dynasty, there are two places, one is Yanzhou Qingzhou in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the other is Yangzhou in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. These areas are also areas where people gather and the economy is relatively prosperous.
There are three main reasons for the outbreak of the plague. One is flood, drought, locusts, earthquake, hunger, heat... all of which will be accompanied by the plague. Taking the Han Dynasty as an example, during the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, dozens of epidemics were recorded, mostly accompanied by various natural disasters. The people died of a great epidemic, and the coffins were expensive until autumn. 』
In the first year of the first year of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, "In September, there was a flood in the Kanto region, and the prefectures and states were hungry on the 11th, and the epidemic was especially severe. 』
In the 22nd year of Jianwu Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, "The Xiongnu suffered from drought and locusts for years, and the famine and epidemics of humans and animals killed more than half of them. 』
In the fourth year of Emperor Yongjian of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, "the locusts in six states were prevalent. 』
…
Another aspect is war, just like the present...
There is another factor, which is the imbalance of seasons. The climate in early spring resembles autumn, and the climate in midsummer resembles autumn. Dai Sheng wrote in "Book of Rites · Moon Order" in the Western Han Dynasty, "When Meng Chun obeys the autumn order, the people will suffer from severe epidemics." When summer season is implemented in spring, there will be many diseases and epidemics among the people. In the middle of summer, the autumn order is issued, and the people are plagued by epidemics. Meng Qiu went to summer, and many people suffered from malaria. 』
At present, in Jingzhou, it seems that the three factors have been satisfied.
Once a large-scale plague occurs in future generations, there will be people who wrap their whole bodies in white chemical protective clothing, and then carry a sprayer to spray the medicine all over the world, which can not only kill viruses, but also kill mosquitoes, drive away rats, etc. other people''s creatures.
Fei Qian believes that this is a necessary and effective method. With the advanced sanitation and epidemic prevention capabilities of the future, every time an epidemic is encountered, it will be like an enemy. In the current ecology of the Han Dynasty, everyone likes to defecate all over the floor and drink raw water at will. In the era, if once the infection spreads...
If possible, Fei Qian even wants to soak all the people in Zhuyang, including himself, in the Bath disinfectant and wash them well.
Unfortunately, there is no Bath disinfectant at the moment...
So it can only be the next best thing, and replace it with hot water, mugwort leaves, sulfur lime, etc.
The rain has just stopped, so there is always black smoke billowing from boiling water. If you don’t know it, just go inside. From a distance, you might think that Zhuyang was burned...
Amidst the thick smoke billowing everywhere, Fei Qian drove Zhuge Liang, Liao Hua, Huang Xu and others to take a bath to disinfect, and he also quickly soaked in the potion. The discomfort all over his body may be caused by psychology, and then gradually subsided.
This is a war that has lasted for thousands of years. It is a war between giant humans and tiny microorganisms, and viruses. Perhaps this war will continue.
Fei Qian is acting nervously here, in order to fight against the invisible enemy, while in Dangyang, Sun Shiwan is drinking and singing happily, full of interest.
Anyway, it’s been raining for the past few days, so it’s impossible to march if it’s raining, and the more rainy, the higher the water level of the river. Although the waves are a little bigger, it’s more suitable for ships with deep draft to transfer food, grass and luggage, so there are some benefits.
The reception held by Sun Quan was naturally enjoyed by everyone.
In the minds of people who like to drink, wine is the best food, and it is almost as good as Xianjia Qiongjiu, especially Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai. Some feel ashamed.
After all, he was still on the front line, so Sun Quan was somewhat restrained, and did not let singers and dancers add to the fun, but everything else was readily available. The banquets in the Han Dynasty lasted for a long time, and the drinking did not stop from sunset to dusk.
At the banquet, everyone laughed at Yan Yan. No one mentioned the discord between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, as if they couldn''t see it. It seems that Sun Quan also said that Zhou Yu was transferred back because the governor had been too hard for a while For the sake of Zhou Yu''s health, he was temporarily transferred back to let Zhou Yu take a good rest, so that he can return to the battlefield better in the future.
The generals naturally laughed, no one questioned.
The more Lu Su drank, the more sober he became, and the gloom in his heart could not be dissipated. Ever since he followed Sun Quan to Jingnan, Lu Su has been a little uneasy, always feeling that something is wrong.
The banquet arrived in the middle of the night, and they broke up happily.
All the generals dispersed one after another, and Lu Su also got into the vehicle under the guidance of his servants, and walked slowly towards his residence. In the night, the sound of cars was busy, and the drizzle was flying. Although it was not heavy, it also made the torches crackle, illuminating the iron helmets of the guards on the side, faintly shining.
Although Sun Quan has maintained a cheerful and gentle demeanor in the past few days, Lu Su knows that under this appearance, there are surging undercurrents!
Sun Quan selected a lot of elite scouts and divided them into three or four groups to go to Jingbei. Once the real love and hatred between Cao Cao and Fei Qian were found out, Sun Quan would surely lead his army to Jingbei immediately!
If both Cao Cao and Fei Qian suffer losses, and Sun Quan takes the soldiers from Jiangdong to go north, if the situation develops favorable, it is true that Sun Quan may not be unable to become the new master of Jingzhou, and may even go further...
Faced with such a temptation, Sun Quan naturally couldn''t bear it. After all, Sun Quan has always advertised himself as a hero, thinking that with the capital left by his father and elder brother, coupled with his own heart and ability, he can occupy an important seat in this world, and even make a better role than his father and elder brother. A more distinguished career.
Cao Cao''s previous actions did confuse the people of Jiangdong for a while, even Zhou Yu was deceived, which is not a big deal, after all, soldiers are tricky, and no one can guarantee that the opponent must be honest To be honest, Zhou Yu was deceived. Strictly speaking, there was no big mistake. Lu Su knew this, Sun Quan knew it, and everyone knew it.
But no one said anything at the moment...
Is it really good to do this?
Sun Quan transferred Zhou Yu back just to pick peaches. Seeing that the current situation has changed to be beneficial to Jiangdong, and it may even become the capital that Sun Quan can brag about for a lifetime, how could he be willing to let Zhou Yu add glory and embarrass Sun Quan himself in the future?
The question is that this glory is really just like what Sun Quan thought, it is already easy to get something?
Lu Su felt that Sun Quan was impatient. It''s just that Sun Quan didn''t think he was in a hurry, he didn''t admit it, and was even a little blinded by the victory he hadn''t yet obtained! So Sun Quan couldn''t see the risks he was about to face, and he didn''t want to listen. He thought that he was the only one who was right, and he only saw what he wanted now.
The torches were flickering, and the light was naturally not good. The guards in front of the car almost came close before they suddenly noticed some dirty and filthy things under their feet, and it was too late to stop...
『%￥@! 』
『What is it? ’ Lu Su asked.
『Report to Lieutenant Lu, nothing happened...』 The guard replied while shaking the filth on his legs and feet, 『I just accidentally stepped on some filth...』
Lu Su nodded slightly, and the convoy continued to move slowly.
The fire was shining in the drizzle, and it seemed that it might go out anytime and anywhere. After walking for a while, Lu Su''s eyeballs rolled twice, and he felt that something was wrong with him, but Nai He had just returned from the banquet, and the alcohol in his body was still exerting its effect, causing Lu Su to think now I can''t even think of it...
