"Gongsun turned back this time, so Cao didn't know what to say, in the matter of disaster relief, I can't do it, you can't replace it."

"Has the prime minister ever thought about why there was a sudden pandemic?"

"Gongsun knows?"

"I don't know, but it came suddenly, and it feels a little strange."

"That's not the case, there were three major epidemics when Emperor Huan arrived, and five times when he arrived at Emperor Ling, and there are countless in the future, does Gongsun still feel strange?"

“...... This time, I came here to find a way to help Yuzhou tide over the difficulties. ”

"It's not human."

"It always works."

The lights flickered, shining on the two facing each other, and then they resumed their usual tone of speech word by word. The two have cooperated with each other many times, and they know each other well enough, as far as Cao Cao's temperament is concerned, he is grateful to Gongsun Zhi for his help, but he doesn't want to owe this love, and his words have the meaning of driving each other away. And Gongsun Zhi, after all, is not a native of this world, and most of the books of later generations have learned about the horror of the ancient plague, but with his current temperament, Yuan Shao, the great enemy, has not been eliminated, so Cao Cao's vitality has been greatly damaged, which is not in line with his strategic purpose.

Soon, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other advisers also rushed here.

Gongsun Zhi frowned: "The plague is really difficult to do, but it is not unpreventable, the plague is a disease, the plague is infected, if you want to solve the epidemic, you should start like a plague first, to prevent the spread of the disease from expanding to an uncontrollable situation." ”

Hearing this, the other party's face was not joking, Cao Cao sat back at the back of the desk and raised his hand: "You continue." ”

"Now in the middle of summer, the insects are rampant, and the hungry people outside are all over the wilderness, they have to catch these things to satisfy their hunger, and the prime minister should know that these insects must have eaten the corpses of the exposed wilderness."

"Therefore, food for the victims is still a top priority." Guo Jiayin went frivolous in the past and nodded in agreement.

Over there, Gongsun Zhi also nodded, let the maid pour the wine, and dipped her fingers in the wine to draw a graphic on the table, "The resettlement of the victims outside the city is also a big problem, and the filthy things should be properly arranged in one place, and they should be dealt with in time to prevent flies and insects from climbing, but this is unavoidable, but the sick and the unsick should live separately, so as not to spread to each other, and a large number of soup stones to prevent plague and typhoid fever must be boiled in the city every day, and the distribution of disaster victims can also be used as a means of prevention, and the water source must also be cleaned up....."

Behind the long case, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, tapped his fingers, and pointed out a few points: "Gongsun said this, Cao has understood, some are easy, and some are too difficult, food and medicine are in short supply, and the sick are separated, but who wants to risk the disease?" The sergeant of the city is still an official. ”

"There is always some grain in the government, and there is also surplus grain in the homes of the ministers of the DPRK and China, so they can still pick out a little emergency." Gongsun Zhi had robbed a few houses before, so he naturally looked at the granaries and cellars, and he also knew it in his heart, "As for who went outside the city to divide the victims, there should be a lot of prisoners in the dungeon in Xudu City..... They are the best candidates. ”

“...... It can also be used as meat and given to the victims of the gruel. In the middle of the seat on the right, Cheng Yu, who said this, opened his eyes and said in a normal tone, "It's just that Shi Misu is such a gruel, and he is not hungry, I am afraid that he has not waited for Yanzhou to aid grain, and he has fallen into a desperate situation. ”

There was a terrible silence in the hall.

After a while, Guo Jia coughed dryly, "In addition, how to deal with the seriously infected people?!" ”

"Let them fend for themselves...... Gongsun stopped pouring a full bottle of wine, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and fell on the table: "....... The corpse could not be buried, but could only be burned in one fire. ”

The late-night wind gusted through the eaves corridor, and Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others present were silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was abnormal. Several maids waiting next to him didn't dare to come out, hearing these words, their hearts were furious, trembling and kept pouring wine for people, and after a long time, as the controller of this city, he finally came up with a decision.

"According to the words of Gongsun and Zhongde!"

**************

The sky shines in the east, the rain is stopped in the morning, revealing the golden clouds across the imperial city of Xuchang, the tiles reflect the dazzling light, a sound resounded through the high noise of the Chengguang Palace, and the words continued to come out in the main hall of the court.

“....... Yesterday, there was a fire in the mansion of Geng Shilang in the city, but fortunately, the blessing of God did not let the fire spread throughout the city. He also held Jinwu and Guozhang after ambushing the fire, fainted on the way, and now he is too ill to guard the imperial city, so he unloaded Jinwu and changed to the auxiliary general and Zhongsan doctor, and recuperated at home, what do you colleagues think? ”

The figure walking in the sight of the civil and military officials, and when the voice was slowly speaking, the eyes that were originally closed by Taiwei Yang Biao opened slightly, looked at the surrounding officials, and closed them again.

"Today, the court is not talking about these things, but the hungry people outside the city, and how to control the plague so that it does not spread to the states, and you don't want the people at home and even behind you to be infected with the epidemic in the future, right?" Cao Cao turned his head and swept over the ministers and smiled: "If everyone ignores it, just disperse and go their separate ways-"

......

Xuchang Prison, the iron chain clanged loudly.

The damp prison gate lined up with figures wearing bracelets and anklets out of the dim colors, and the dazzling sky light shone down, many people had not seen the bright weather for a long time, squinting and breathing greedily, and there were hundreds of escorts around them, waving sticks to drive them away.

"Let's go—"

"A bunch of prisoners, you should know how to cry later."

"They're not bad, and if they're lucky, they'll be able to come back alive and be a human being again, a death row prisoner on the other side...... Gee...... Don't talk about it. ”

......

In the court, the crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.

"There was a sudden outbreak of plague in Ye County, south of Yuzhou, unexpectedly, everyone knows this thing, who meets who dies, a few people in ordinary people's homes, there are not a few who died overnight, Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling, eight epidemics, which time is not the death of dozens or millions of people, the corpses can be piled up over the city wall....... Therefore, you think that this is God's will, a sign of chaos in the world, and if you can't stop it, you won't stop it....... Continue to hide at home and shout all day long for the people of Li and for the country!! ”

The voice resounded through the hall, Cao Cao turned around and pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, his eyes were fierce: "Have you ever been to the city?" Would you like to go up and have a look—"

.......

In the city, on the huge school field, thousands of prisoners from different prison wardens lined up and gathered, in front, Gongsun Zhi, dressed in wolf velvet armor, stood on a high wooden platform in front of them, and below the high platform were rows of wolf riders with knives, Cao pawns, and Da Ding, which was dyed with fire, and the heat wave rolled, distorting people's vision.

The dense prisoners below were swaying the chains, looking at everything in their field of vision, looking at what to do, on the high platform, Gongsun stopped walking towards the edge of the platform, the wind blew, rolled up the cloak, the tall body, slowly raised his hand, his voice was like a dry thunder in the bright weather.

"Guys, do you know what I'm bringing you here for—"

In the south, an old man named Hua Tuo walked in the barren field with a man and a woman, stopping occasionally, pouring a sip of water, looking at everything in front of him with corpses spread out everywhere, and the sun was shining brightly on the earth.

.......

Court.

"You must not see!" Cao Cao pulled the collar of the robe of a minister who didn't speak, and roared in his voice: "Then Cao will take you to see, take a good look, how the people of the world in your mouth are dying now!" ”

"I, Cao Cao, have never asked for alms since the rebellion, and I will not do it today. When you sit at home and want to see my jokes, do you pat your conscience first, if there is no Cao Cao, you are nothing, but a group of lambs trembling under the blades of Guo Yan and Li Dao. ”

With a roar, he pushed the minister in his hand to the ground, turned around and stood in the middle of the imperial steps, and with a bang, he pulled out the Heavenly Sword, and the tip of the sword swept over the figures with their heads down.

"Gather in your old ways, and today you and I will work together to help the disaster, and if anyone is still lucky, then I will let his whole family go outside the city to live well, and feel the pain of being infected with the plague."

......

South, Jingzhou, Changsha County.

The middle-aged general with black and white hair threw several troublesome prodigals into the long street, with a big bow at his waist that made people look sideways, and then turned around and went into the overcrowded mansion, looking at the doctors sitting in the hall to see a doctor, he was anxious, and finally sighed, stood in the long line, and waited patiently.

The sun shone on the auspicious and rich Xiangyang, Liu Biao looked at the news on the silk, couldn't help sighing, recruited the strategists, discussed for a long time, soon after, a lot of grain gathered in the city, began to load, he wrote a letter overnight to the generals who led the team, and told a few words.

Outside the city, the big man with a long-handled hammer on his back inquired about the road to Changsha in the south from time to time, and occasionally encountered a few groups of thieves, so he sent them away and continued to hurry......

Xu Du, a middle-aged man named Cheng Yu, looked at the corpses that had been pierced by iron hooks, nodded with satisfaction, and then sat down and ordered the guards beside him: "Kill a few more batches." ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of wine, not far from him, and the terrible screams kept coming, several death row prisoners were stripped naked, forcibly washed by the soldiers, pressed to the board, chopped off their heads with a knife, and disemboweled, like livestock.

......

Everything came together under the bright sunshine after the rain, and at the end of July, disaster relief began.
