Jizhou, Yecheng.

The Yuan Mansion was in a serious atmosphere, and the tense servant couldn't help but take a look at it. He was scolded by the manager for a few words, lowered his head and ran away. The manager snorted, "Not a long eye." Afterwards, he looked at the hall of the meeting. There were hurried figures coming and going inside and out. Occasionally, someone opened the door, clasped the official document and ran out of the mansion, and left.

The main hall seemed a little quiet. Yuan Shao was wearing a regular dress and stared blankly at the silk in his hand, sitting silently behind the long desk. Several strategists next to him, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Ju Su and Xun Chen, sat on both sides.

At this time, the news in Yuan Shao was coming from Yanzhou in the early morning this morning. When he saw this information, he was completely sleepy and was ecstatic. When he arrived, he gradually became silent. The strategists on both sides were talking in a low voice. Some of them had a strong smile on their faces. The plague broke out in Yuzhou and destroyed Cao Cao's roots. This was naturally a good thing for Hebei.

At one moment, in the voice of the conversation, two people looked at each other. One of them was Tian Feng. He looked at Yuan Shao in the upper hand and bowed: "Lord, the great epidemic in Yuzhou is a festive event, and Feng may be in trouble today."

"Yuan Hao, but it's okay." Yuan Shao put down the silk and raised his eyebrows, as if he had expected it.

"Reported to the lord, since ancient times, the plagues are difficult to prevent. Nine out of ten people have died, and corpses are everywhere. As if the light is hot today, if it has spread to Yanzhou and come to Jizhou with people, the consequences will be unpredictable." Tian Feng whispered: "It is too early to talk and laugh at Cao Mengde at this time."

In the seat, Ju Shu nodded and raised his hand: "Yuan Hao's words are not unreasonable. The plague is the enemy at the moment. When blocking the south of the Yellow River, rejecting any people, merchants will enter Hebei."

"If you don't say this, Ji thinks you can rest assured." On the other side, a strategist named Feng Ji drank a sip of warm wine and smiled indifferently: "The plague is as heavy as it is, but it will definitely not pass Yuzhou, let alone Yanzhou? Cao Mengde is also a resourceful and decisive person. Xun Yu and Xun You are also knowledgeable people." He glanced at Xun Chen, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and put down his cup, "How could he let the plague be abused?"

"When talking about the important matter at this time, what does the far-sighted map mean?" Ju Su couldn't see it anymore.

On this side, Yuan Shao listened quietly to everyone's words with guns and sticks in his words. His expression did not change, but his hand was getting more and more forceful. Then he pressed Su Bo on the table with a thud and raised his eyes: "The victory or defeat of Shangdang County is not decided, it's too long. Let's notify him and let Yan Liang and the others withdraw."

"It's time" he took a breath, walked to the middle with his hands in his arms, and calmed down: "What else do you do?"

If Cao Cao was seriously injured in this plague, it would be a celebration for him, but some things can only be seen clearly only when he is in such a position. As Tian Feng and Ju Su said just now, if the plague is tragic, it will be difficult to resist.

However, at the moment, there is another thing that is most urgent in Yuan Shao. A month ago, a large number of cavalry appeared in Jizhou and burned, killed and robbed around. The man led by the opponent was extremely brave. Ordinary generals led their troops to pursue him, but they were defeated by the opponent. Then he ordered Qu Yi, but the man did not take the enemy and relied on the speed of the cavalry to attack other places, directly throwing a large part of the camp led by Qu Yi.

The Lord of Four State, who had been injured for more than a year, finally broke out with his adviser who was fighting against each other. When he passed by Tian Feng, Ju Su, he stopped walking. He looked at the two of them sideways, then looked at the open door. The sun was shining outside, he narrowed his eyes and said with a complicated expression: "It's true that the plague is powerful, but it won't make me panic so much. In my early years, I and Ah Man were close friends and that kind of friends who were inseparable from each other."

"When he was not full of wings, he sent it to Dongjun. What do I want and what I give it to. Now, on the other hand, Cao Cao wants to resist, but do you know? I really want to appear in front of me one day and say, "Benchu, that family seems to have married a bride, and we went over to make trouble for him." Think about it, it is impossible again."

After saying this, Yuan Shao shook his body a little confusedly, and then he stepped across the threshold and stood in the light with his hands behind his back. Soon, he waved to everyone in the hall.

"I'll send him a batch of food and fodder across the Yellow River and send it to him, and then tell him that he will be dispelled from gratitude and righteousness in the future and see him on the battlefield."

The sunset burned magnificent red glow in the sky, and birds flew past their sight.

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

The sun is west, Xudu Imperial City.

"What happened in the city today."

Ren Hongchang, wearing a court dress, found Fu Shou, who was walking back in a flowerbed in the harem, and his two beautiful faces were close to each other and softly chatted.

"What happened?"

"Gongsun Zhi, who had already left, suddenly turned back, burned Geng Shilang's mansion, and killed the other party. The father-in-law was also implicated. He just held Jinwu and changed his position to be the general of the auxiliary country. The current plan of the queen of the Sanzhong doctor has to die prematurely."

A flower broke in the girl's hand.

Thinking of the humiliation that day and night, my heart was inexplicably burned again, gritting my teeth and calming my face. After a moment, I shook my head and whispered: "That day you came up with the plan to distract Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao, but it was unsuccessful. They were affected by the humiliation of Gu. They are still intimate. Now that the epidemic is being abused outside the city, the disaster victims are everywhere. As the queen of the Han Dynasty, I cannot treat the life and death of the people as a joke. This matter is temporarily put aside, and everything is mainly about disasters. Gu no longer wants to see the scene in Chang'an again appear in Xudu."

"Since the queen thinks so, Hongchang will naturally not stop him." Ren Hongchang raised his head, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his smile was a little sad, then turned around and left slowly.

Beautiful backs go further and further under the sunset

In early July, several batches of prisoners of Xudu walked out of the city gate wearing anklets, and promoted the need to pay attention to hygiene among the victims. In the afternoon, hundreds of porridge sheds began to be built, and the city's servants and cavalry were dispatched everywhere to search for some guilty gentry and confiscated their homes to collect their grain.

On July 11, the official warehouse was opened, and the remaining surplus grain was pulled out of the city. A large number of servants went to the streets and knocked on the door of the official's home. The Grand Marshal Yang Biao took the lead in donating grain and fodder to make a start. The chariots loading life-saving food were transported out one after another, and the inventory was checked and registered, and then sent out of the city.

On July 13, a disaster victim found that some jerky was added to the porridge. Although it was very rare, it was an indescribable delicacy for those who were eating grass roots and bark.

In the following days, meat porridge and medicine became essential daily items. Until July 17th, the first chaos broke out in the crowd. Some people cried, some shouted, and some fainted and fell down. In the face of major events such as disaster relief, they were originally just trivial things that would happen every day.
