Chapter 436: A Sudden Disaster (Part II)
At the same time as the plague broke out in the city, a red figure appeared in Guo Jia's mansion, it was Mi Zhen.
"Xiaohong, Xiaomei!"
Mi Zhen anxiously walked into a room.
For a whole day, she didn't see the two girls in person, so she came to their room to find someone.
The door was open, and it seemed that the two were still asleep.
"You two!"
Mi Zhen was a little angry.
To be a subordinate, you must naturally have the rules of being a subordinate, how can you be so lazy?
When she walked into the second daughter's room, she suddenly smelled a bad smell.
"Xiaohong, Xiaomei!"
Mi Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she opened the tent of the two, she suddenly found that the two of them were red, covered with pus, and they had cracked, and they had already died of anger.
Yes!
Mi Zhen immediately let out a scream.
The shouts quickly attracted the people in the mansion, and the place was immediately cordoned off. The doctors of the medical school immediately separated the female dependents in the house.
The entire Makimori Mansion was also in a panic.
……
"Oh no, no!"
Several men ran down the street in a panic.
As they ran, they said, "There is a plague in Lunu City, and I have seen dozens of people die in the inn with my own eyes. Everybody's running away, and if you get it, it's over. ”
"My mother, it's a plague, run quickly, if you run slowly, you'll die."
"The officers and soldiers are also sick, and the people in the county government are dead."
"I just came out of the Pastoral Mansion, and the wives and concubines of the Pastoral Keeper have also contracted the disease and died."
Along the way, the rumors grew bigger and more outrageous.
It won't be long before the whole city of Lunu knows.
The common people and merchants of the city also panicked.
In this era of underdeveloped medical care, plague is synonymous with death, and it is the type where one person infects the whole family with death.
Who is not afraid of death these days?
The wives and concubines of the shepherd are dead, how can they be spared?
Run!
I don't know who took the lead, everyone ran out in one go, the merchants ignored their own goods, and the people didn't have time to clean up, and there was chaos in the city, and even more, they took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to create chaos.
After the confusion, several figures suddenly flashed into a small alley.
A man with a hat hiding in a dark corner is the mysterious man who killed Xiangkai.
"How's it going?"
"Go back to the leader!"
Several people dressed in ordinary people's clothes came to the man in black who had killed Xiangkai.
"We've succeeded in causing chaos in the city."
Very good!
The man in black nodded.
"Chief, now that the whole of Yunzhou is in chaos, our mission has been accomplished. Why don't we take advantage of the chaos to escape. ”
One of the men said.
They came here to be chaotic according to the law, and now that the task has been completed successfully, it is natural that they will go back.
No hurry, no hurry!
The man waved his hand and said, "That's not enough. ”
He suddenly looked up, a cruel smile on his face.
"This time, I want to see how Guo Jia turns over."
He waved his hand as he spoke.
"If you continue to destroy, you must paralyze Yunzhou."
Yes, sir!
Everyone responded in unison, and the figure disappeared again.
Guo Jia!
The man's eyes flashed with a sharp flash.
"What you owe me, you should pay it back."
……
It's over, it's over!
Hearing the news, Xi Zhong almost fainted.
The epidemic is not terrible, as long as it is controlled, there is no problem.
He was most worried about whether this incident would affect the local people and the merchants who came and went.
After all, in this era of underdeveloped information, it is still a very terrifying thing to fall ill with so many people at once.
Therefore, Xi Zhong is trying to control the situation and increase the pacification of the city while getting medical personnel to help the patients.
However, the thing that worried Xi Zhong the most still happened.
Despite his preparations, the news spread far and wide.
There was chaos in the city, and the officials in charge of maintaining law and order also fled, and the city of Lunu was completely plunged into chaos.
Originally, Lunu City was garrisoned by a large army, but Guo Jia went south and took 30,000 people, including 20,000 infantry.
Therefore, there are only some officials and soldiers guarding the entire Zhongshan County.
The chaos in the city continues to escalate.
The people, the merchants, have fled.
The defenders didn't know whether it was true or not, and some of them panicked, and the defenders were in chaos, and the situation was even more difficult to control.
Except for the Tiger Guards who were in charge of guarding the Mushou Mansion, almost all of the rest of the city were defeated.
Xi Zhong is now facing a situation where there are no soldiers available.
"Immediately send a message to Xu Huang and ask him to lead the army to stabilize the situation."
As a last resort, Xi Zhong came up with the last killer feature.
When the army was first dispatched, Guo Jia left Xu Huang and 10,000 cavalry.
These cavalry were the substitutes and second-line troops of the Yunzhou cavalry, and they had always been responsible for guarding them.
So far, Xi Zhong is really powerless.
……
The people of the whole Yunzhou were panicked, and many caravans stopped halfway down the road, not daring to go to Yunzhou.
What's more, the caravans in Yunzhou also fled.
Although the money is good, it also has to have a life, and the life is gone, what do you want so much money for?
In a few days, half of the originally bustling businessmen had fled, and no one dared to stay in the county seat.
Although the Yunzhou government has been reassuring everyone, the epidemic has been controlled, and there is no reinfection.
But with little success, everyone became frightened birds.
There was a plague outbreak in Yunzhou, and they didn't dare to go back.
There were also many caravans that escaped, and they had a large amount of goods in their hands, and it was not a solution to empty them in the wilderness now.
Just when everyone was sad.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Good news, good news! Lord Liu Yu of Youzhou opened Zhuo County as a border trade city, and learned from the example of Yunzhou, which is not subject to taxes, and is soliciting merchants everywhere? ”
"Yes, Lord Liu Yu of Youzhou loves the people like a son, who doesn't know in the whole Youzhou?"
"Let's go, everyone, anyway, there is only a dead end to stay in Yunzhou, why don't you go to Youzhou to fight?"
Hearing the news, the merchants immediately came to their senses.
There was a plague in Yunzhou, and they had a backlog of goods in their hands, so how to deal with the headache?
That's where the turnaround came.
It's really dozing off, someone came to deliver pillows.
Are they worried about the goods they have in their hands that are not easy to dispose of?
This Youzhou has actually opened border trade, where do they have any choice?
Many people got up without thinking about it.
So, the mighty caravan galloped in the direction of Zhuojun.
Seeing that everyone was about to go to Youzhou, several people who spoke glanced at each other and showed their colors.
They did not leave with the caravan, but turned around and went to another gathering place to vigorously promote the opening of border trade in Youzhou.
Soon, under the vigorous propaganda of these people, merchants who escaped from Yunzhou poured into Zhuo County.
