Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 438 To Xiaopei

After leaving Chen State, passing Yingchuan, Cao Cao's hometown Pei Guo Qiao County, and then entering Xiyang, Xuzhou's Xiao Pei City is far away.

This road was carefully formulated by Xi Zhicai.This route delicately rubbed against the territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, and belonged to a fringe area of ​​the two forces.The goal of the three thousand cavalry was also relatively small, so Liu Xie walked as fast as sparks along the way, but it was safe and sound.

However, just after entering Xiaopei, everyone thought that the emperor would order to rush into Tancheng, the governor of Xuzhou.Liu Xie suddenly issued an opposite order, slowing down the marching speed, and asked the doctors he brought from Chang'an to start helping Xiaopei's people who were slaughtered by Cao Cao to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic.

Although, late autumn is not a time when plagues are prone to occur.But wherever Cao Cao went, he did not stay behind, but he created the best conditions for the outbreak of the plague.People in the Han Dynasty didn't know that the plague was actually caused by the germs in the dead bodies. In the era of war and chaos, they would not carefully restrain the dead bodies for cremation and burial.Therefore, it is not meaningless for Liu Xie to do such things after entering Xiaopei.

Regarding this matter, when Liu Xie came from Chang'an, he brought the lime that had been invented.This thing has a certain effect on disinfection. At the same time, Liu Xie also adopted the method of cremation and deep burial for innocent people whose bones were scattered everywhere.Of course, the way of cremation was regarded as a way of desecrating the dead by the people of the Han Dynasty.Fortunately, the title of Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, has played a role again.

He did not tell the people that the dead bodies exposed to the ground will cause the plague. This kind of professional problem should be spread by Zhang Zhongjing, who is hanging the pot to help the world.The reason Liu Xie gave to Xiaopei's people was that Yuan Shu's army was coming soon, and he had to concentrate on disposing of these corpses as soon as possible.

As for the choice of cremation, Liu Xie took out the name of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and borrowed from the classic slogan of Mingjiao, "Burning the sacred fire, burn my remnant body, what is life, why is death" and held a solemn ceremony. And after the very sensational funeral ceremony.The surviving people in Xiaopei were also moved by it, and they took the initiative to imitate the way of the Han army, cremating the bodies of their family members.

When doing this, what surprised Liu Xie the most was that he discovered Hua Tuo, another famous doctor in the late Han Dynasty.Like Zhang Zhongjing, this doctor who really cares for the common people is dressed in tattered and thin clothes, his eyes are red and his body is emaciated, and he treats the people of Xiaopei for free.

When Zhang Ji's students brought Hua Tuo in front of Liu Xie, Hua Tuo, a compassionate doctor, made a solemn gift to Liu Xie without any explanation.His reason is to be grateful for the people of the world, and to thank the Han Dynasty for having a truly benevolent king.As for Hua Tuo's kneeling, Liu Xie also bowed deeply, respecting Hua Tuo, a true doctor who rushes wherever there is trouble, has a clear conscience and has a heart for the common people.

Later, without any surprise, Hua Tuo was also retained by Liu Xie.Originally, Hua Tuo was reluctant. Unlike Zhang Ji, who was born in a noble family, he had a low-key and evasive personality, and he was unwilling to participate in intrigue and disputes such as official career.But Liu Xie only used two reasons to keep him: First, Liu Xie guaranteed that the Imperial Medical Center in Chang'an would never be interfered by any political forces.

The other one is that Liu Xie pointed to Zhang Ji's students and told Hua Tuo with facts that one person can only benefit one county at most by hanging a pot to help the world.But when he entered the court's imperial medical clinic, he could train countless doctors and treat people all over the world.

And this reason made Hua Tuo completely unable to refuse.Because, the doctors of this era are such real doctors.

The news that the Han army rescued the people in Xiaopei naturally spread slowly but quickly to Tancheng, Xuzhou.The reason why it is said quickly is because this era is like this, the speed of word of mouth is far more well-known than Liu Xie's edict.The reason for the slowness is that since the news has reached Tancheng.The Liu Bei who led Xuzhou and the real rulers of Xuzhou have not responded yet.

But for this situation, Liu Xie still seemed calm, as if after entering Xuzhou, he immediately took off the impatience he had when he came from Chen Guo, and replaced it with the compassion of a benevolent and righteous king.The imperial physicians under him are still meticulously treating Xiaopei's people, and at the same time, taking precautions against the epidemic.For epidemic prevention and epidemic prevention, the word "prevention" should be the first priority. Once it is really spread, it will be difficult to say anything.

"Your Majesty, are you waiting for Liu Bei?" Sima Yi asked Liu Xie almost for the first time in Xiaopei County Yamen.In the previous marches and battles, due to the presence of the two world-renowned advisers, Xun You and Jia Xu, Sima Yi went against his usual arrogance and became unknown.That feeling was like a young lion cub meeting the lion king, carefully curling up his not-so-sharp claws to avoid being killed by the lion king.

"Yes." Liu Xie didn't care what Sima Yi thought about the Han Dynasty at this time.Now the Sima clan is tied to the Han Dynasty.At this time, Sima Yi is far from the reputation of his great achievements later in history.Therefore, he did not shy away from Sima Yi's questioning. He knew that what Sima Yi needed at this time was an opportunity to serve the Han Dynasty.

After saying this, Liu Xie glanced at Sima Yi again, and seeing that he was silent, he took the initiative to open the topic and said: "They will come sooner or later, but they will come after they think that Xuzhou has been taken care of. I will pretend to only hear that the news that my relatives have arrived in Xuzhou is long overdue. And these are exactly what I have given them time to do."

"Your Majesty wants to see what Liu Bei wants to do?"

"That's right." Liu Xie nodded solemnly, but then voluntarily gave up the topic: "It's not me who is having a headache now, but those guys in Xuzhou who have evil intentions. No matter what they do, after all It cannot change the fact that I am the Son of Heaven, and I have come to Xuzhou in person."

After saying this, Liu Xiecai handed Sima Yi a letter on the case table, and said, "This is the latest battle report from Yanzhou. Please help me to check it out. How will the outcome of Lu Bu and Cao Cao be?" With this sentence, Liu Xie couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Until now, he couldn't understand how the poet who could write "The bones are exposed in the wild, and the rooster crows for thousands of miles", a person who lamented the huge disasters war brought to society, would suddenly go crazy in order to carry out his "dominant". ', the disaster and the price will be passed on to the innocent people.Xiaopei is a land, but when Cao Cao besieged Tancheng, he allowed the soldiers to plunder and massacre.What are the possible consequences?
It's a bloody massacre!There is no distinction between men and women, young and old, all slaughtered without leaving a single person.Since their supreme ruler was so indulgent, the army, which was originally a violent slaughter machine, would naturally exaggerate that indulgence further.

Along the way, Liu Xie saw with his own eyes that on every big tree on both sides of Xiaopei road, there were dead bodies hanging high; View; in Kaiyang, Cao Jun asked the people to dig a hole.Then push nearly 5 people into the pit and bury them alive, and then shoot all the diggers to death...

In this scene, Liu Xie saw the ugliest and bloodiest scene in Chinese history.

But when the grief and anger settled down, Liu Xie couldn't help but reflect, why did all this happen?Obviously, a person in power, if there is no power limit, will cause such a tragedy.The tragedies in history were basically created by those in power when they were insane or out of their minds.The madness of an ordinary person can lead to family tragedies, and the madness of a supreme ruler can lead to worldwide tragedies.

A high degree of centralization may create such a tragedy.How to supervise and restrict the power of those in power in the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly a difficult task for Liu Xie to do after he settled the world.

However, now is far from that time, and Liu Xie knows it clearly.All good things can only be beautiful in a specific era and under specific conditions.For example, democracy can limit dictatorship, but now if Liu Xie is allowed to transfer some power, then he will inevitably be devoured by the scholar-bureaucrats and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty.

At this time, he should do what he should do and do his best.So, after he finished thinking about all this, he waited for Sima Yi's reply.

But after Sima Yi casually glanced at the battle report, he showed a look of disappointment: "Mr. Yu Xi's prediction is good. Because of the locust plague, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are both powerless. Your Majesty ordered General Xun and General Jia to go north, which undoubtedly strengthened the Han army. The influence of the army, but Cao Cao will not do anything in the short term when he shrinks the three counties. At this time, His Majesty should be careful about things outside Yanzhou."

"Things outside of Yanzhou?" Liu Xie blinked, and suddenly understood Sima Yi's meaning: "You mean Yuan Shao?"

"That's right. There was a plague of locusts in Yanzhou this autumn, but the area around Jizhou had a great harvest. Gongsun Zan in Youzhou was also unable to make progress. Yuan Shao, a clumsy crouching tiger, must not sit idly by and ignore the affairs of Yanzhou. What's more, his subordinates That 'Assassin', I'm afraid, will also engage in some sneaky actions at such a sensitive time..."

Hearing Sima Yi's reminder, Liu Xie's face became more and more serious.What Sima Yi said is right, Yuan Shao is a crouching tiger, and every move he makes will have an unexpected impact on all battle situations.At this point in history, it's time to think about the confusing direction of development.

However, just when Liu Xie and Sima Yi were about to discuss further, Li Yan walked in suddenly, clasped his fists and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Bei, is here to welcome you!"
