Chapter 2196: Plague

Dadadadadada...! The sound of rapid footsteps came from the door.

Zhao Yanran was shocked and hurriedly left Liu Xian's arms, took two steps back, pretending to be serious.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xian felt infinite tenderness in his heart and smiled slightly.

Diao Chan quickly walked in from outside, and until Liu Xian, she presented a letter to Liu Xian with Fei Ge, saying, "Husband, Mr. Jia Xu, the letter to Fei Ge sent by Fei Ge."

Liu Xian's heart moved, and immediately took the letter and opened it to read it. He frowned and said, "The coalition forces that attacked the three major barbarians were defeated one after another!" Then he shook his head and said, "I don't have the energy to take care of those things now."

The Spring Festival has passed, and as the spring sunshine appears above the Yangtze River and Huai River, the heavy snow that has ravaged a winter has finally ended, and the weather has quickly become warmer.

However, this sudden warm climate triggered a secondary disaster. The snow accumulated in a winter quickly melted in a short period of time, turning into roaring floods that ravaged all the areas they passed through!

After the snow disaster, floods occurred again, and the people in the disaster area were in great distress, and Liu Xian was also running to deal with the disaster.

Fortunately, the flood did not last long, and about a week passed.

At this moment, the vast disaster area was full of devastation, and the ground was full of sorrow, and the scene was very miserable.

At noon that day, a team sent by Zhuge Liang finally entered Wuling County, and the scene in front of them shocked them. A county town was actually silent, and the people who were still alive were almost starving to death like zombies.

More than 100,000 people in Wuling County starved to death by 60,000 to 70,000, while the rest of the others were all skin and bones left, and no one was like this.

In Luoyang, in the imperial study room, Liu Xian looked at the disaster report that was constantly being sent, and his face was very bad. Slap! He slapped the bamboo slips on the desk table and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that the damage to this disaster would be so serious!"

Everyone standing below looked at each other and couldn't speak.

Dong Yuan said: "Brother, don't be too angry. In fact, the result is already very good. If it weren't for the big brother and the officials from all over the country to help the disaster, the losses would probably be more than ten times that of now!"

Zhao Yanran also said: "What my sister said is that both the husband and the court have tried their best. Such a terrible natural disaster is really not something that humans can resist!"

Liu Xian sighed, nodded, glanced at Chen Gong and others, and said, "The most urgent task now is to recover after the disaster. We must focus on this matter. I plan to send several inspection teams to the bottom to monitor to avoid making money from the national crisis.

Your departments have discussed a list and will send it to me today."

Chen Gong and others agreed with the promise.

After the disaster, the restoration and reconstruction work began immediately. Perhaps God finally stood on Liu Xian's side, and the spring was in a warm climate early.

However, gradually, people felt something was wrong. Just as the cold winter passed, the weather became as warm as early summer.

It would have been fine if it only took a few days, but the humid and warm climate lasted for more than half a month, and there was no sign of ending at all.

In Luoyang Imperial Study Room, Liu Xian walked in quickly, and the Imperial Heaven Supervision, who was waiting in the study, immediately bowed: "Your Majesty!..."

Liu Xian said: "No need to be polite. You said you have an urgent matter, what is the urgent matter?"

The Imperial Heavenly Prison hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have observed the recent weather and hydrological astrology. I feel that something big has happened, so I come to report to Your Majesty!"

Liu Xian frowned, looked a little unhappy, and said angrily: "What big deal is you told me about those mysterious things?"

The Imperial Heavenly Prison clasped his fists and said: "The weather and hydrological characteristics today appeared twice in ancient times. Every time such an extremely changing weather occurs, a terrible plague will inevitably occur!"

Liu Xian was shocked, looked at the Imperial Heaven Prison, and said in a deep voice, "You talk about the plague?"

The Imperial Heaven Supervision nodded.

Liu Xian walked up, walked to the Imperial Heaven Prison and stopped, asking, "How serious will the situation be?"

The Imperial Heaven Superintendent shook his head and said, "I am ashamed of my subordinates, but I cannot judge. However, the plague situation in the two ancient times was very serious. In areas where the epidemic was raging, the death toll exceeded one-third, and some towns even turned into death!"

Liu Xian was shocked and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

At this moment, Diao Chan hurriedly and clasped her fists to Liu Xian and said, "My husband, I just received a report from Yingfeng. There was a plague along the Yangtze River, Jingnan area, and the two Huai areas."

Liu Xian's expression changed.

Yuzhang County Wu Palace.

In the hall, King Sun Quan of Wu looked excited, and he had rarely seen such a look in recent years.

Sun Quan glanced at the civil and military officials present and smiled and said, "Everyone, it's really a blessing from heaven! I just received news that a large area under Liu Xian's rule, especially along the Yangtze River, had a plague broke out, and the epidemic was very serious, and even the army was not spared!"

When the literati heard this, they all showed a look of surprise and whispered to each other.

A civil servant asked with his fist, "Master, I wonder if this news is true?" Everyone's eyes gathered on Sun Quan's face.

Sun Quan smiled and said, "The news is of course true! You don't have to doubt it! And the real situation is probably more serious than the news I received. After all, there are many places that we cannot go to!"

"That's great! Just as the king said, this is really a blessing from heaven! I didn't expect that our Dawu would be in danger and be alive in a desperate situation!" A civil servant said excitedly.

Lu Xun clasped his fists and said, "If this news is true, then a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will come!

We just need to wait until they are destroyed by the plague before launching a full-scale counterattack. It is easy to recover lost ground, and we can also take the opportunity to severely damage the enemy's territory!" Many people agreed, and their eyes showed an excited expression.

Sun Quan smiled, looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gongjin, what do you think?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "This is indeed a blessing from heaven. But we don't have to be impatient. The plague on the other side has just begun. What we need to do is to be prepared to attack at any time, and at the same time let the plague continue to rage the enemy!

If the situation can continue to develop like this, I guess in about a month, our frontal enemy will not have much combat capability left! That is the time for us to launch a full-scale counterattack!"

Sun Quan nodded deeply and said, "What Gongjin said is very true." Then he glanced at everyone present and said, "From now on, we will enter the stage of counterattack preparation! Everyone is waiting for orders!
Chapter completed!
