Zhou Tai informed Liu Xin about the plague situation in Hanzhong County. After Liu Xin heard about it, he asked all counties in Yizhou to strictly follow the epidemic prevention requirements and report the plague in a timely manner. At the same time, doctors from Rui County and Chengdu County were dispatched to Wudu, Bajun, and Hanzhong.

In the three counties, he took out most of his anti-inflammatory drugs and asked the wine shop to make medical alcohol and quickly send it to all counties in Yizhou.

Plague was the main cause of population decline in ancient times. Sometimes everyone in a county got the plague, and those with weak constitutions could not bear it and died. In some counties, the population dropped by more than 70%. So when you hear the plague is coming, you don’t need to

Liu Xin told everyone that they were very concerned. Some counties even started to prevent outsiders from entering. The price of alcohol in Ruixian County increased five times for a while, and people were still looting it. Although the Shu County Newspaper had stated that alcohol could not be completely suppressed.

Plague can only prevent the spread of plague.

The once bustling Chengdu County began to see fewer people. Huang Xu sent news from Wudu County that many people from aristocratic families came from Sizhou, many of whom were infected with the plague, and asked Liu Xin how to deal with it.

Liu Xin ordered to treat those with mild illness as much as possible, and put all those with serious illness together and give them a bite to eat. If they could survive, they would be lucky. If they couldn't survive, Liu Xin had nothing to do. After all, he had limited resources. Although his doctors

There are ways to suppress the plague, but doctors and medicines are limited, so he can only choose to save more people.

Zhou Tai locked the gate of Nanzheng County tightly and had all the corpses in the nearby area burned. Strictly following the epidemic prevention requirements, the plague did not continue to spread in Nanzheng County. Zhang Lu got a chance to breathe, and he knew that he was not Liu Xin's chance.

, also knew the seriousness of the plague, so he began to disperse his 72 Daokou believers in Hanzhong County to the east and north of Hanzhong. He led the army to gather some of the remnants of Li Jue and Guo Si, and began to enter Sizhou, starting from Henan Yin

He went to the south of Yuzhou and took refuge with Yuan Shu.

Zhang Lu felt that the only person in the world who could compete with Liu Xin was Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu had a high prestige in the family. After he arrived in southern Yuzhou, he did not rush to Shouchun County in Yangzhou, but went to Nanyang County, the most densely populated place in the Three Kingdoms.

Preach.

Nowadays, when there is famine in the world and plague is rampant, the Five Pecks of Rice Road is quickly praised by many people and even aristocratic families in Nanyang County. As a super strong man, Zhang Lu’s true energy is similar to Liu Xin’s [Snake Light Seizing Sun Technique].

, he treated the people for more than five hours every day, and his reputation in Nanyang County became famous for a while.

At the same time, Zhang Lu used his nearly 10,000 elite men to quietly control the people in the villages around Yuan County. For a time, his reputation was in the south of Yuzhou and the north of Jingzhou. Yuan Shu knew that Zhang Lu was not angry when he came to his territory, but he was very happy. The plague had already

They quickly dispersed under his rule. He needed people with superb medical skills like Zhang Lu. If he also got the plague, wouldn't he be afraid of death with Zhang Lu? He had only been on the throne for a few months, so he didn't want to die directly.

Already.

Yuan Shu sent someone to contact Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu came to Nanyang County to find Yuan Shu. When Yuan Shu arrived, he seemed humble and willing to support Yuan Shu as emperor. Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he found out that he wanted to go to Shouchun County.

He went out of the city to greet him in person. Zhang Lu was the first prince to seek refuge with him.

Zhang Lu completely called himself a minister. Yuan Shu appointed Zhang Lu as Taifu. The status of Taifu was still higher than that of the Three Dukes. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were few emperor appointments. His main role was to advise the emperor. It can be seen that Yuan Shu wanted to gain Zhang Lu's

Loyalty also takes great pains.

Although Yuan Shu's territory was large and his people were relatively wealthy, his military power was not very strong. He did not have any first-class generals, otherwise he would not have kept the little Sun Jian busy for so long. Zhang Lu was truly first-class, although he

He is not good at fighting, but now when the plague is raging, Zhang Lu's role is great.

Zhang Lu saw that Yuan Shu had built a luxurious mansion for him in Shouchun County and gave him countless beauties. Every time he traveled, he was followed by hundreds of people. He knew that his purpose of joining Yuan Shu was to deal with Liu Xin, so he

Discussed with Yuan Shu on how to improve people's livelihood and win over people's hearts. Yuan Shu nodded after hearing this. Zhang Lu had many ways to improve the people's livelihood at the bottom and get the aristocratic families to contribute money. Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard that he sighed that Zhang Lu was his Guan Zhong.

The combination of Yuan Shu and Zhang Lu allowed Yuan Shu to make up for one of his own shortcomings. Although Yuan Shu sometimes did not understand some of Zhang Lu's inexplicable suggestions, he obeyed them in order to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Lu.

And precisely because he followed these suggestions, Yuan Shu's reputation in Yangzhou and southern Yuzhou was constantly improving. Naturally, Zhang Lu would not devote himself to Yuan Shu. He placed more than 10,000 of his elite troops in various counties under Yuan Shu, so that he

The higher his reputation in Yangzhou, the less Yuan Shu would dare to touch him, and the safer he would be.

The combination of Yuan Shu and Zhang Lu was a coincidence. It was just when Yuan Shu had just ascended the throne, Zhang Lu was defeated by Liu Xin, and the plague was raging in the world. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would never let Zhang Lu enter his territory, and Zhang Lu would never go to Yuan Shu. Liu Xin

Xin knew that Zhang Lu had fled to Yangzhou in 198, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Yuan Shu lacks the foundation to conquer the entire world. Now that he is powerful, he can attract more firepower for Liu Xin. After this natural disaster passes, his decrees in Yizhou will be known to the princes of the world little by little. If they are informed,

It is very feasible for all the princes in the world to attack Liu Xin together. After all, for them, what Liu Xin did was more abominable than Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu wanted to change the dynasty, but Liu Xin wanted to destroy the entire world's rules. He made the world's aristocratic families lose their privileges, which was already an enemy of the entire world.

In early June, Wei Qin led his army east from Yizhou and went to Taoting Township to join Zhao Yun. Therefore, he brought 200,000 grains and grass, and there was a steady stream of grain and grass coming from behind. Zhao Yun began to prepare to launch an attack on Nanjun.

When Wenpin and Huang Zu heard the news that Zhao Yun had arrived with an army of 40,000 men, they did not pay too much attention to it. Their military strength was similar to that of Zhao Yun, and they also led Liu Biao's elite men.

Zhao Yun and Wei Qin are both top-notch military generals. Zhao Yun is also one of the five "partial generals" appointed by Liu Xin. He can give attribute blessings to elite soldiers within ten miles. This made Liu Biao realize for the first time how powerful Liu Xin is.

.

Zhao Yun sent his six battalions of elite men to surround Sanque and launch an attack on Zhijiang County. As a result, Wenpin led 16,000 troops in the city, and Huang Zu restrained Zhao Yun's forces on the Zhijiang ship. Zhao Yun only sent 20,000 regular soldiers to protect him.
