Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2413 Three years of loss, life hanging by a thread

The appearance of Lu Yue undoubtedly made this plague more difficult to deal with.

Famous doctors like Sun Simiao of Jin, Hua Tuo of Qing and Han, etc., could only passively update the antidote for the plague step by step.

However, this passive approach was naturally restricted in many ways compared to the elusive and proactive Lu Yue. Even before they had figured out a new way to solve the problem, Lu Yue had already come up with another one.

However, now, Lu Yue can be said to have enemies all over the world. Several forces have secretly vowed that once they catch him, they will definitely crush him to ashes.

In addition, the various forces continued to hinder each other. Due to these factors, the plague lasted for three years before it began to subside.

And these three years will surely be extremely painful years for all forces involved.

The plague lasted for three years, and all forces combined lost more than 10 million people during these three years.

If it weren't for the system, the total population of this era would be much higher than that of normal eras. Otherwise, this plague alone would have wiped out the entire Central Plains and grasslands.

After all, during the entire period of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the population was only about 50 million. When the Three Kingdoms era ended, the total population was not enough and had dropped to a low point.

Of course, among the population of tens of millions, the majority are still from the Central Plains. Compared with the sparsely populated grasslands, the Central Plains, with a population density several times higher, is at a great disadvantage in this regard.

The greater the population density, the faster the disease spreads, and the more horrific the casualties will be.

Every force has been severely damaged by the plague during these three years.

Moreover, the plague, which lasted for three years, caused not only population losses but also destruction of production.

The Jin army and the grasslands were better off. Although these families also suffered a large loss of population, at least their production had not been completely destroyed. Even though a lot of it was destroyed, these families at least retained a part of it, which supported them through the past three years.

On the grassland, when the plague broke out, all forces almost unanimously made the same choice, which was to let the tribes that had not yet been affected by the plague continue to migrate northward.

Especially the Yuan Mongols, who not only migrated northward, but also westward.

However, for their grassland forces, migration itself means a loss of their strength.

Although migration is a normal thing for grassland people, it was normal migration, not forced migration like today.

Their current migration has clearly seen them abandoning the most fertile areas of grass and water on the grassland and heading towards relatively barren areas.

Furthermore, this rapid, large-scale migration did not have any prior preparation, so it was naturally impossible to pack up and set off as usual. Therefore, it was a huge loss in itself.

However, no matter how painful this process is, it is at least better than staying where you are and waiting for the plague to come.

Of course, Kublai Khan lived up to Temujin's expectations and changed according to the international situation. He took advantage of the situation and sucked blood from the Yuan Mongols when they were in the most dangerous time, allowing them to survive. However, it was also because of this that the dignified Yuan Mongols actually became mercenaries.

The Jin army, although affected the most by the plague due to its vast territory, was also the one that suffered the most.

However, at least the three states of Si, Yong and Yi were not affected by the plague. Even if there were some impacts, they were directly eradicated in a short time.

Therefore, these places are still operating smoothly even during the three-year epidemic.

Next, there is the south. Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the south are also a good place to produce grain.

Although productivity did not recover in time in the first year because the war had just ended, after a year of Wu Qi's governance, the country had gotten rid of the shadow of war and began to recover its former prosperity bit by bit.

It was also because of the full support of the surrounding states that, although the plague broke out in many states, the food crisis caused by the plague was still barely overcome.

In comparison, the lives of Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and Qin Zheng were quite miserable in those three years.

Behind these three plagues, there is also a food crisis.

After the outbreak of the plague, it will naturally have a huge impact on production.

After all, once a plague breaks out, how many ordinary people would still have the mind to farm the land in such a crisis?
Besides, even if the government forcibly organized the people to cultivate the land, in this era, what proportion of all the people were agricultural producers?
This means that people have started to move around, perhaps only within a limited small area!
However, this will still have an impact on the prevention and control of the plague, and this impact is quite significant.

Therefore, during these three years, the three families not only faced the threat of plague, but also the threat of food and grass.

In particular, these three companies were originally in a state of severe damage and half-deadness. After three years, they were completely exhausted and only had their last breath left. It can be said that their lives were hanging by a thread.

If this plague does not end, I am afraid that these forces will collapse on their own in this plague.

It was because of the plague in these three years that the people were living in fear of death every day.

Otherwise, with the situation in those three places, the people who couldn't even afford to eat every day and were forced to eat their own children, would have risen up in rebellion long ago, and it would have been another Yellow Turban Rebellion!
For ordinary people, the problem of food is their biggest problem! The problem of famine is often the most direct problem of peasant uprisings.

However, thanks to the plague, even though our people continued to starve to death, all problems were forcibly suppressed by the plague.

Of course, to be honest, if there hadn't been this plague, these three companies would not have faced such a crisis.

Fortunately, they managed to survive these three years!

After enduring these three years, both the families in the Central Plains and those in the grasslands were planning to recuperate.

These three years have really drained all their blood and bones.
