Mi Han

Chapter 428
The prosperity of the world is all for Lilai.Everything in the world is for profit.

This sentence, which was widely circulated in later generations, came from "Historical Records", and it was regarded as the truth by many people in later generations.

And what can affect the attribution of a person's interests?
That is the position.

For decades since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been constant disputes in the world, and the dispute is the word of position.

From Yu Shihui's standpoint, it is impossible for him to retreat immediately.

From Zhu Bao's point of view, Shi Hui's attitude of resolutely resisting the Han army made him very happy.

But from Yu Fan's standpoint, or from Sun Quan's standpoint, Shi Hui's decision undoubtedly touched the interests of Jiangdong.

Yu Fan, as a minister recently favored by Sun Quan, and as one of the leaders of the Jiangdong gentry, he could not just sit back and watch the shihui infringe Jiangdong's interests in front of him.

So after the banquet was over, Yu Fan took Sun Huan to find Shi Hui.

When Shi Hui saw Yu Fan coming to him with a serious face, he knew what Yu Fan's purpose was.

So before Yu Fan could speak, he said to Yu Fan and Sun Huan first, "I have made up my mind, and I hope that the two kings will plan for the supreme cause, so don't hold me back."

Hearing Shi Hui's words using Sun Quan's great cause as an excuse, Yu Fan kept sneering in his heart.

For the great cause of your family.

As a knowledgeable scholar, Yu Fan certainly knew that the Jiaozhou scholars were currently submitting to Sun Quan in name, and even respected the Jiaozhou governor sent by Sun Quan, but this was all superficial.

In fact, the military and political power in Jiaozhou was still in the hands of the Shi clan headed by Shi Xie.

The Shi family and the Sun family are named monarchs and ministers, but they are actually allies.

Knowing this, Yu Fan certainly didn't believe Shi Hui's words.

"Since it is for the supreme cause, the situation has changed, the general should report to the supreme, and wait for the next order from the supreme."

Since Shi Hui took Sun Quan as a big hat to Yu Fan, then the eloquent Yu Fan could naturally use Sun Quan as his name to make Shi Hui lose the reason to send troops.

Of course, Yu Fan's verbal retaliation hit the point, but Yu Fan forgot one thing, that is, no matter how sharp the words are, they are no match for the soldiers in their hands.

Seeing that Yu Fan had already spoken to this point, Shi Hui didn't want to say anything more.

The eyes he looked at Yu Fan turned cold, and then he shouted: "Come on!"

Under the shout of Shi Hui, several soldiers soon ran in from outside the big tent.

Yu Fan saw the scene where Shi Hui almost saw him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He didn't expect Shi Hui to be so courageous.

Even Sun Huan, who had just been sitting on the sidelines watching the development of the situation, was so frightened that he could not help pressing his hand on the blade at his waist after seeing this scene.

He also knew that Shi Xie and Sun Quan were actually in an equal relationship, and he could see that Shi Xie was quite respectful to Sun Quan on the surface. He didn't expect Shi Hui, who was Shi Xie's son, to be disobedient in front of him.

The reaction of Yu Fan and Sun Huan fell into Shi Hui's eyes, causing some arrogance to appear in his eyes.

Yelang is arrogant, not only talking about Nanzhong, but also for Shi Hui who lived in Jiaozhou since he was a child and has never seen the outside world.

Sun Quan is just an unreachable Lord of Jiangdong, and his deterrent power is not great at all.

Shi Hui has been afraid of only his father Shi Xie since he was a child, but before he came, Shi Xie let him do it.

With Shi Xie's promise, who will Shi Hui be afraid of?
However, although Shi Hui is arrogant, he is not a reckless person, and he has no plans to completely tear his face off with Sun Quan.

After summoning the soldiers to secretly surround Yu Fan and Sun Huan, Shi Hui did not make his soldiers draw their swords at him as Yu Fan had guessed.

Shi Hui, who was outside the encirclement, just glanced at Yu Fan lightly, and then said threateningly: "Jianye is thousands of miles away from Qilan, if everything is reported to the Supreme, it will not delay the supreme event, I hope Yu Jun understands Hui's painstaking efforts."

After saying this, Shi Hui asked the soldiers in front of him to step forward, narrowing the circle around Yu Fan and Sun Huan.

Facing the approach of several sturdy soldiers, Yu Fan suddenly calmed down.

Shi Hui just said what he actually wanted to say: the sky is high and the industry is far away, the safety of you two does not lie with Sun Quan, but with me.

What is arrogance, this is it.

But facing Shi Hui's arrogance, Yu Fan had nothing to do.

He went south with Sun Huan this time with soldiers and horses, but in order not to attract the attention of Zhang Fei in Jingzhou, Sun Quan only let Yu Fan and Sun Huan lead more than a thousand Wu troops south.

At present, outside of Lancheng, there are tens of thousands of Jiaozhou soldiers, far above the Wu army.

If Shi Hui had any unruly intentions against him, it would be an easy task.

As for whether Shi Hui would fear Sun Quan's anger afterwards, Yu Fan had no confidence in this.

Nanzhong is full of miasma, and the water and soil are not obeyed, so they die. Isn't it very reasonable?

After realizing this, Yu Fan pressed Sun Huan's hand that was about to draw the sword behind him.

After stopping Sun Huan's attempt to resist, Yu Fan had no choice but to bow to Shi Hui, and said against his will: "What the general said is reasonable."

Yu Fan's words meant that he agreed to Shi Hui's "expedient measure" under the threat of life and death.

After Yu Fan bowed his head, a smile appeared on Shi Hui's face.

Given his reputation, Yu Fan is not a fool after all.

Seeing that Yu Fan had given in, Shi Hui waved his hand in satisfaction, and let the soldiers surrounding Yu Fan and the two retreat.

After the siege around him was lifted, Yu Fan pulled Sun Huan quickly out of Shi Hui's big tent.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Seeing the backs of Yu Fan and Sun Huan leaving, the confidants beside Shi Hui couldn't help reminding: "General?"

This question was a reminder from his cronies to Shi Hui.

But in the face of this reminder, Shi Hui did not respond.

Now is not the time to attack Yu Fan and Sun Huan.

Always think about defeat before winning, if he loses this battle, he doesn't have to worry too much about Shi Xie, and about Sun Quan, he doesn't have to worry too much about Yu Fan and Sun Huan.

Shi Hui just told his cronies: "Send someone to monitor every move of Yu Fan and Sun Huan, and make sure not to let any letters from them leak out."

The confidant nodded to Shi Hui to accept the order, and then led a group of soldiers out of Shi Hui's big tent.

After everyone left, Shi Hui returned to his seat, picked up a bamboo slip on the desk, and read it.

The content of this bamboo slip is an excerpt from "Historical Records", and this content is about a person's deeds.

The man was called Zhao Tuo, the "Southern Yue Wudi" in the early Western Han Dynasty.

I don't know how many times Zhao Tuo's deeds have been read, but every time he reads it, it always inspires the growing ambition in his heart.

Back then, Zhao Tuo was able to separate himself from the south of the Five Ridges and establish himself as emperor. How similar is the current situation to the end of Qin Dynasty?

The world should be three points, it should be four points!
After Deng Ai led his army to leave Qiongdu County, under the guidance of Meng Huo, he marched all the way towards Cang County.

Along the way, Meng Huo, who was impressed by Zhuge Liang, devoted himself to explaining the situation in Cang County to Deng Ai in detail.

If we want to clarify the situation in Cang County, we have to mention Zhu Bao.

Zhu Bao, like Yong Kai, was born with the same surname in Nanzhong.

But different from Yong Kai and Gao Ding, before Zhu Bao rebelled against the great Han, he was a justifiable prefect of Cang.

Due to Zhu Bao's family background, he has served as the prefect of Zangcang for nearly ten years.

Such a long time is enough for Zhu Bao to make Zangcang County his private property.

Therefore, when Yong Kai contacted the Nanzhong counties to rebel, Zhu Bao's county encountered the least resistance.

Even most of the people in Cang County only recognized Zhu Bao and didn't know that there was a Han emperor.

This means that Zhu Bao has an unimaginable foundation in Cang County.

And this kind of foundation will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Deng Aiping's establishment of Cang County to a large extent.

Apart from this point, what worries Deng Ai the most is that, according to Meng Huo, due to its terrain, Zangcang County is the county with the most widespread miasma among the four counties in Nanzhong.

Miasma can be regarded as a different kind of plague in this world.

In the area where it spreads, ordinary people can't get through it safely.

Deng Ai's worry soon became a reality.

Just after Deng Ai led the army into the border of Cang County, some soldiers in the army fell ill due to miasma infection.

After Deng Ai learned of this incident, he immediately ordered Meng Huo to ask about it.

After Meng Huo learned that some Han soldiers were infected with miasma, his first reaction was to think that Deng Ai was suspicious of him.

After all, Zhuge Liang asked him to act as a guide, but as a result, he led the guide and infected the Han army with miasma when they first entered Cang County. This is his dereliction of duty.

Or there is a more cruel idea, that is, Deng Ai may think that he did it on purpose.

It's just that Meng Huo can't be completely blamed for this matter.

Although Meng Huo is from Nanzhong, his base camp is Yizhou County, not Zangcang County.

Under such circumstances, he knows the common miasma-filled places in Cang County, but this does not mean that he has a complete understanding of the terrain of Cang County, and Zhu Bao may not be able to do this.

Coupled with the fact that miasma sometimes moves according to the direction of the wind, this greatly deepens its instability.

In front of Deng Ai, Meng Huo anxiously explained these reasons to him.

Meng Huo had heard that Deng Ai was Mi Yang's favorite general, and Deng Ai's status was not comparable to that of a surrendered general.

Facing Meng Huo's eager explanation, Deng Ai felt a little helpless.

Even though he didn't know much about Nanzhong, he knew that Meng Huo couldn't prevent it completely.

Besides, if Meng Huo really wanted to harm the Han army, he could deliberately lead the Han army to places where the miasma was dense, and there would be more than that.

The reason why Deng Ai came to Meng Huo was to ask Meng Huo how to save the Han army.

After understanding Deng Ai's intention of looking for him, Meng Huo heaved a sigh of relief.

As for Deng Ai's request, others may not be able to do it, but Meng Huo has a way.

Miasma generally has two meanings in the contemporary world. One is the general term for various infectious diseases that are prevalent in Nanzhong.

The other is a poisonous gas volatilized by the corpses of dead animals in the mountains and forests under the influence of hot and humid air.

Judging from the current situation of the Han army, the miasma they are suffering from belongs to the second situation.

Otherwise, if it is an infectious disease, only that part of the Han army will fall.

Facing the second situation, Meng Huo told Deng Ai the prescription handed down from his ancestors.

After getting the specific prescription, Deng Ai quickly called the military doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and asked him to cooperate with Meng Huo to find those herbs that could cure miasma as soon as possible.

After doing this, Deng Ai followed Meng Huo's advice and moved the army's camp to an open place.

Empty space means that there is good ventilation, which can prevent the Han army from being attacked by miasma to a large extent.

After finishing this matter, Deng Ai wrote this matter as a memorial and sent it to Zhuge Liang immediately.

Although the troops were divided into battles, Deng Ai was just a separate army, and he was still Zhuge Liang's subordinate in terms of the command system.

Now that the Han army has to be stationed for treatment because of miasma, this will inevitably disrupt Zhuge Liang's original deployment. For such a major event, Deng Ai must report.

What Deng Ai didn't expect was that shortly after he sent out the military report, this matter was soon known to Zhu Bao.

When Zhu Bao learned of this incident, he was overjoyed immediately, and then went to meet Shi Hui outside the city in person.

When meeting Shi Hui, Zhu Bao unexpectedly didn't find Yu Fan and Sun Huan, but now that a great opportunity is ahead, Zhu Bao can't care about thinking about the whereabouts of those two.

Zhu Bao quickly shared the information he found with Shi Hui.

After Shi Hui learned of this information, his excitement was no less than that of Zhu Bao.

But Shi Hui quickly calmed down again, and he asked Zhu Bao about the source of this information.

Seeing that Shi Hui was worried, Zhu Bao smiled and told Shi Hui the source of this information.

"The general doesn't know that this county is full of miasma. Hundreds of years ago, people often fell into the miasma and their lives were in danger.

Later, in order to prevent the villagers from suffering, the ancestors worked hard for several generations and researched a medicine that can cure miasma.

It's just that most of the medicinal materials in the prescription are unique to this county. If ordinary people want to gather the medicinal materials on the prescription, they must seek help from people in the county.

This time, some Han thieves found the villagers in this county to collect medicinal materials for them, and according to the villagers, the amount of medicinal materials collected by the Han army was quite large. "

After listening to Zhu Bao's explanation, Shi Hui's worries disappeared.

The reason why he was suspicious of this information just now is because from recent information, it is known that Zhuge Liang is a man who is good at tricks.

Shi Hui was worried that the information about miasma in the Han army would be Zhuge Liang's trick to lure the enemy. Now that he knew the source of the information, Shi Hui no longer worried about this.

Zhu Bao has been in charge of the county for ten years, and the people of the whole county are very submissive to him. Under such circumstances, it is quite normal for Zhu Bao to be able to know the movements of the Han army through the mouths of the villagers.

After confirming that this piece of information was correct, Shi Hui's heart instantly became active.

A lot of medicinal materials collected by the Han army means that many people in the Han army have been infected with miasma, which will definitely greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

How could he miss such a good opportunity?
