Chapter 209 Natural Disasters

"Report!" When Wen Du and Huang Zhong were discussing troop training, a guard quickly ran to the tent and asked him for instructions: "Report to the Supervisory Army, Lord Manchong, the captain of the Diandian Military Academy, is waiting outside the camp."

"Bo Ning is here? Then please invite him in." When he heard Man Chong's name, Wen Du was a little surprised. After all, he was in charge of the law and was a civil servant. The place he usually went to was either the administrative office, the government office, or the third

I saw him coming to the military camp once.

"No, Lord Mandarin called you over and said that we need to discuss it."

"I understand, you go down first."

"promise!"

After sending the guards away, Wen Du turned to the four people in front of him and said, "Do you understand what I just said?"

"Absolutely!" Wang Ping replied carelessly: "Since it is a square formation against cavalry, then the cavalry must be used for training?"

"That's more or less what I mean. Anyway, the supplies and Danyang soldiers are on the way. Whether it's coercion or inducement, I don't care what method you use, you must train everyone to face the running cavalry and flying cavalry.

Arrow, a tough guy who doesn't even blink an eyelid. If it works, I'll invite you to the most expensive restaurant to drink for three days and three nights. If it doesn't work, then you can go home and wash your hands and sleep."

"That's it, everything is easy to talk about if you have wine!" Before anyone could respond, Gan Ning had already opened the wine gourd on his waist and drank several sips, then let out a satisfying burp.

After being amused for a few times by Gan Ning's smooth operation, Wen Du said: "Okay, you guys can think about how to train. I'll go out to do some errands first."

Under the watch of four people, Wen Du walked out of the commander's tent and came outside the camp. He saw Man Chong riding on a small white horse. Matching his pale white clothes, his unsmiling face, and his perfectly cold style

handsome guy.

"Bo Ning, why are you looking for me? Could it be that you miss me after not seeing me for a long time?"

He understood but ignored Wen Du's chatter. Man Chong maintained his usual emphasis and said: "Let's go, I will take you somewhere."

"where?"

"Fuya."

Along the way, unless Wen Du took the initiative to speak, Man Chong would never speak first. Although it was a bit dull, Wen Du liked his character. After all, Wen Du didn't want to be surrounded by Gan Ning and Sun Ce, a talkative person.



"Take off the white cloth." After arriving at the government office, Man Chong signaled to the government officials on both sides to pull off the white cloth in front of them. Underneath was the corpse of a middle-aged man.

"Is there something wrong with this body? Could it be that it was killed?"

"No. Under my law, who dares to kill someone?" Although it is a rhetorical question, the increasingly heavy voice is enough to illustrate Man Chong's confidence. "Look carefully at his face, his arms, his

leg."

Following Man Chong's prompts, Wen Du bent down slightly and stared at the three limbs and head. The more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. "My face was livid, my lips were purple, and there were sores on my limbs, and they smelled very bad.

How long has this guy been dead?"

"The doctor estimates that it will not exceed five days."

"It shouldn't stink like this in such a short period of time. Where did you find him?"

At this point, Manchong turned his head and signaled that an old-looking government official came forward to report: "To the supervisor, a fisherman came to report the incident yesterday evening. He saw this body by the river when he was closing his net."

"I understand, do you think there is something wrong with the way this man died?"

"That's right. The doctor also said that this person may have been poisoned before his death. I was worried about the possibility of infection, so I called you over."

"Wait here, I'll be back soon!" After confirming that the situation was not optimistic, Wen Du got on his horse and ran towards the inner city. When he arrived at the largest pharmacy on the bustling avenue, he saw Zhang Zhongjing taking the patient's pulse.

, I was afraid that he would be angry, so I didn’t dare to disturb him. I waited until the diagnosis and treatment was over, and after briefly explaining the situation to him, Zhang Zhongjing didn’t say much, took the medicine box and got into the carriage prepared by the servant, and quickly went to the government office.



"Huh~" After the inspection, Zhang Zhongjing breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head and said: "This person is indeed poisoned. I was still wondering why the environment in Yangzhou is so well cleaned, why can someone still be infected? Looking at him

There are blood blisters under his feet, indicating that he must have come from afar, and this man probably fled from other states and counties."

After hearing Zhang Zhongjing's judgment, Wen Du admired his professionalism in his heart, but turned around and discovered something that concerned him. "Doctor Zhang, you mean infection?"

"Yes, now that summer is approaching and the temperature is rising, there will be more pests. The probability of him being bitten while walking on the road is very high."

"That one is not contagious?"

"It's very possible. I suggest you make preparations in advance."

After Zhang Zhongjing's warning, Wen Du still dared to neglect. After ordering the body to be cremated, he turned around and returned to the administrative hall with Man Chong. He called all the officials in office to urge the officers and soldiers at all levels below to do three things:

First, post notices to remind people to pay attention to the heat and pests, and go to various government offices to get free disinfectant water, which can be sprayed inside and outside the house. Second, arrange for wild cats to help farmers hunt venomous rats and snakes in the fields. Third, send more manpower at the gates of each county.

, arrange the doctor, all persons entering and exiting must be confirmed by the doctor, and they can move around if there are no problems.

After explaining what had just happened to everyone, everyone suddenly realized that they would fully support such a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Wen Du said that after two months, he would be in charge of the national treasury.

Lu Fan and Mi Zhu stood up and said arrogantly that they were not short of money now, and if they wanted to come, they should come directly for the whole six months and directly control the situation until winter.

Some people contributed money and others contributed efforts. Wendu, who only needed to give orders, was naturally happy to see the results. After a simple and effective discussion, the prevention and control management measures were decided from today to the end of winter.

On the other hand, Wendu also asked people from all over the country to actively cooperate with the testing activities organized by officials and doctors to ensure that no fish will slip through the net again.

After the notice was posted, the people of Yangzhou obeyed the inspection unconditionally. After all, this is the base camp, and their actions have already won the hearts of the people. However, people in other places have varying degrees of boredom and feel that the government's actions are fussy and unnecessary.

After receiving feedback from officials in Yizhou and Yuzhou, Wendu directly responded: "If you are unwilling to obey the command, you will be forced to do so. If you are forced to resist, the land will be confiscated directly."

As soon as this method came out, Zhang Hong and Gu Yong expressed opposition. The reason was that land is the life and root of the people. If Wendu drags the land into it, the people will have riots... But Wendu just wants to seize the life and root.

Only when it hurts will they be willing to cooperate.

The fact is as Wen Du said, after this order was issued, the people in the two places went out of their way and began to "voluntarily and actively" cooperate with the government. This behavior made Zhang Hong and Gu Yong, who first spoke for them, shed tears...



After fifteen days of careful testing, only a few suspected cases were found in the prefectures and counties occupied by Sun Jian, and they were concentrated in Yuzhou. Listening to their words, it was confirmed that they were all still alive with the previous corpse.

I had contact with them when I was alive, so I got infected.

After getting all the information and saying hello to Sun Jian in the distant town of Yizhou, Wen Du was convinced that the dead man must have come from somewhere in Yanzhou, Qingzhou or Jizhou. Since the pathogen was not in his territory,

He can feel a little more at ease...

Unfortunately, what he was most worried about finally happened. In mid-August, the weather was so hot that the earth was dry. Tens of thousands of corpses in a mass grave in Jizhou that had not been processed in time became more and more stinky because of the weather.

With rot, flies, rats and other pests ran around after eating their carrion, thus bringing the virus to neighboring states and counties. Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly became weak in limbs, vomited and had diarrhea, and the whole

His face started to turn blood red and turned into a permeating purple.

Because of this sudden natural and man-made disaster, the strategic plans of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others were stopped one after another...

"This...this...what the hell is going on?" Seeing that people under his care began to get sick every now and then, sitting on a wooden chair and reading the mountains of simple letters written by various officials, Cao Cao became numb.

"For your information, my lord, there is new news from the doctor."

Opening his tired eyes, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu who walked in silently, and nodded his head sadly.

After receiving the signal, Xun Yu explained loudly: "The weather this summer is much hotter than previous years, and dry land has appeared in many places. This will have an impact on human health. In addition, poisonous rats and poisonous insects have emerged one after another, and the people have been

You may get infected or poisoned if you are not careful..."

"You mean the plague?"

"It's not just the plague, it could also be malaria..."

"Is there any treatment?" After hearing these two cases, Cao Cao became even more panicked than before. This is a life-threatening infectious disease, and he didn't want himself or anyone around him to get it.

"Our local doctors have very few records of dealing with these diseases. They say that the best, simplest, and most direct way is to gather all the sick people in one place and save them if they can.

Cremation, at least it won't hurt other people."

"How many patients are under treatment?"

"The two states combined have a total of 130,000 people."

"One hundred and thirty thousand..." After hearing the number of patients, Cao Cao raised his head and closed his eyes, and did not answer for a long time.

Seeing Cao Cao's reaction, Xun Yu did not find it unexpected, and said calmly: "My lord, things will change later. When a disaster is approaching, you should dare to sacrifice your troops to protect your commander. This is a sacrifice that must be made for the sake of more innocent lives.

"

"I understand..." After a while, Cao Cao turned his attention to Xun Yu. "If the order continues, all patients must be quarantined together. Anyone who hides a patient will be killed without mercy!"
