Chapter 438: Ding Jiangdong

"The Taiwei's method is indeed effective against plague, but when used on plague like Jiangdong, it is not enough to eradicate it. If things go on like this, it will consume a lot of money. Once everyone stops taking the medicine, they will get sick very quickly." Hua Tuo looked at the patient who was stabilizing and sighed: "It is possible to expel the eggs from the abdomen through acupuncture, but..."

It's just that this method is too slow and has to be done one by one. There are too few doctors with this ability compared to the huge number of patients infected with the plague.

"That needs to be cured!" Lu Bu stood up, came outside the tent, looked at Dian Wei and said, "Send my military order to the world. Those who are good at acupuncture should rush to Jiangdong to save people. In addition, these medicinal materials are ordered to be sent to Jiangdong first. No mistakes!”

Because of this plague, Lu Bu has been in Jiangdong for three months. The plague has been temporarily controlled, but a cure has never been found. According to people here in Jiangdong, this plague actually appears every few years. Basically, No hope.

"Lieutenant!" Soon, Xun Yu, who was in charge of logistics dispatch, found Lu Bu and frowned: "Lieutenant, does he know how much manpower and material resources are needed for this dispatch?"

"I probably know that there are as many as 300,000 people suffering from the plague this time, including our soldiers. We cannot ignore them!" Lu Bu said solemnly.

He has not yet found out the origin of this plague, but it is related to this battle, and the accumulation of a large number of corpses is the cause. In addition, this disease occurs in a small area every few years or even every year in Jiangdong, which makes Lu Bu very concerned.

"Does the captain know that there is no cure for this disease?" Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"Before I came, the winner would die within ten months, but now, at least he can live for a little longer. There will be no completely unsolvable things in this world. Either we will spend a lot of effort to find this kind of thing today." To find a cure, we will have to sacrifice the lives of millions or even tens of millions of people to find a cure. What does Wen Ruo think?" Lu Bu said with a smile.

Xun Yu looked at Lu Bu. At this moment, he finally understood why Lu Bu was so supported by the people under his rule. He sighed and said, "But this move is of no use to the court!"

"What is beneficial to the people is beneficial to the court. The meaning of the court is not to make money. Not everything must be done to benefit the court. The court is for the people and the well-being of the people in the world, not for the sake of the people. A few people are making profits, I just ask you, can the court sustain this?" Lu Bu asked.

"Yes." Xun Yu nodded.

"Then do it!" Lu Bu said decisively, turned around and left. After taking two steps, he turned to look at Xun Yu and said: "Pass my military order and order Gao Shun, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong to lead the troops and horses to temporarily take charge of all areas in Jiangdong. Defense, anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will have their homes and families destroyed! I have no time to play with them!”

Who would cause trouble at this time?

The answer to this question was actually obvious. Xun Yu nodded silently, bowed deeply to Lu Bu, and turned to leave. Lu Bu turned back and continued to work with a group of doctors to find the source of the plague and prepare to solve it in one battle.

Jiangdong gradually calmed down with Lu Bu's order. Many large and small families such as the Gu family, Zhu family, and Zhang family were still in trouble, and many of their families were killed. However, this time, the people of Jiangdong remained silent.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the imperial army has turned from offense to defense, and has begun to be busy with the plague. After various measures, Jiangdong has not been swept by the plague as in previous years, and Lu Bu summoned famous doctors from all over the country to come to Jiangdong in order to completely solve the plague.

Everyone is not blind. At this time, they gradually see who is sincere. Public opinion has begun to shift in Lu Bu's hands without even realizing it.

From high road to simplicity, most smart people in this world like to take shortcuts, but those who make it to the end may not be those who walk fast.

The Jiangdong nobles were obviously aware of the change in people's hearts. They no longer dared to seek trouble unscrupulously, and began to distribute some food and finance to the people. However, the pressure from the court or from Lu Bu made them breathless.

It's not because Lu Bu is strong. Past history has proven countless times that the strong may not always have the last laugh. Only those who win people's hearts can truly win the last. However, Lu Bu's method of winning people's hearts made the Jiangdong nobles feel desperate.

It's not because Lu Bu wins people's hearts, but because the target of his win is not them. This is actually the fundamental reason why the world's nobles reject Lu Bu. Whether in Guanzhong or the Central Plains, Lu Bu always wins over the people at the lowest level, and these are regarded by them as People like ants, when their hearts turn to Lu Bu, the power they unleash is truly terrifying.

After another month, Lu Bu, Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and other famous doctors finally found a cure for the disease after countless attempts and deductions. The medicinal materials were still grown from Jiangdong and were also found in other places, but the same medicinal materials grew in different places. There are differences in the properties of medicines. This medicine is also effective for this disease, but its properties are very different from what Lu Bu and others inferred. Lu Bu asked people to look for similar medicines in Jiangdong, and found that the properties of the two were very different, so he finally chose This medicine was used to treat diseases, and the results were remarkable, and a large number of patients recovered.

Lu Bu asked people to take the initiative to plant this kind of medicine, soak it in water and drink it when there is nothing wrong. It can also prevent and suppress the eggs in the body. If you drink it for a long time, even if there are such eggs in the body, it can gradually eliminate them.

At this point, it took four months, and the epidemic that had plagued the people of Jiangdong for hundreds of years was finally completely solved by Lu Bu. The reason why there were so few people in Jiangdong was not only because of the remote location, but the most important thing was that this kind of fever would cause large-scale plagues every few years. The population of Jiangdong has been stagnant. Now Lu Bu has come up with a radical cure, which is equivalent to saving the lives of countless people in Jiangdong.

Without Lu Bu's orders, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Hua Xiong, and Pang Tong had spontaneously begun to take this opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive in Jiangdong. The most important thing about the Jiangdong gentry rebellion was that they were rooted among the people, protected by the people, and the imperial troops wanted to It is often impossible to find an opponent for settlement, and in the end you have no choice but to give up.

But after this incident, although Lu Bu did not make any corresponding strategies against the Jiangdong nobles, the people of Jiangdong were won by Lu Bu. Without the protection of the people of Jiangdong, it would be much easier to arrest these nobles as long as they dared to make trouble again.

There are only two roads in front of them now. One is to accept Lu Bu's new policy peacefully, and the other is to retreat to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and join Shanyue. In a few years, they will become just like Shanyue.

"From today on, the Jiangdong gentry will be a thing of the past." Lujiang, Lu family, Lu Xun sighed with emotion. As early as the beginning of Sun Quan's surrender to Lu Bu, he made a choice to give up his family wealth and surrender to Lu Bu. Now it seems that he This choice is very wise. After the plague, Lu Bu's popularity in Jiangdong will be very high. In addition, Lu Bu's new policy is actually beneficial to the people. Over time, the people will naturally understand the benefits.

This lieutenant is really... amazing!

In order to prevent the plague from spreading into the city, Lu Bu always located the place where he treated the plague away from human habitation. All plague treatment places in Jiangdong followed this principle.

Now that the plague has been completely eradicated, Lu Bu naturally no longer needs to stay outside and leads everyone back to Moling. Sun Quan and others are already waiting in the mansion. When they see Lu Bu, they are about to come up to them, but are stopped by Dian Wei.

"Everyone, what's the matter? Let's talk about it after I wake up!" Lu Bu waved his hand. Even with his physical constitution, he has been unable to hold on for more than four months. After leaving a word, he returned to the room. He didn't even wash up, so he fell asleep.

"Don't be surprised, everyone, my lord... rarely sleeps a wink in April." Xun Yu brought Hua Tuo, Zhang Ji and others in. Looking at Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others who looked confused, he explained with a smile.

Even Xun Yu didn't know how to describe his feelings. The disease that had plagued Jiangdong for hundreds of years was completely eradicated under his witness. It was uncertain whether he would have left a mark in history, but this time, Even in future historical records, he will definitely leave a strong mark, because it is he, Xun Yu, who is in charge of logistics arrangements this time.

If this plague control is regarded as a war, and Lu Bu, Hua Tuo and others are the fierce generals charging into the battle, then he is the commander who sits in the rear and arranges food and grass!

"The Taiwei is really a benevolent and righteous king!" Sun Quan couldn't help sighing. He had been in Jiangdong for many years, and he was naturally aware of this plague. Although he had dealt with every plague outbreak, he basically concentrated the sick people together. Let it fend for itself. As for directly eradicating the plague like Lu Bu did today, that would have never been thought of.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. There are some things that they no longer need to spread. Now these Jiangdong people who have escaped alive will become Lu Bu's most enthusiastic supporters. Jiangdong may even be the most stable place under Lu Bu's rule in the future.

"Everyone, we have to say goodbye too." Hua Tuo and others bowed to everyone and said goodbye. Lu Bu was so tired. Although they didn't sleep as rarely as Lu Bu, their energy was also severely depleted in April. Now I just want to sleep and rest.

Naturally, there was no reason for anyone to stop him. Compared to the Jiangdong nobles, each of these medical craftsmen was responsible for curing the plague.

"Jiangdong has been decided!" Cao Cao sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. Although the plague caught people a little unprepared, the eradication of the plague this time has completely eliminated the problem of Jiangdong. Next, as long as he does not act stupidly, he will follow the imperial court's instructions. The system was steadily promoted in Jiangdong. Based on Lu Bu's current popularity in Jiangdong, basically, there is no problem in restoring peace to Jiangdong.

Lu Bu slept very deeply and didn't wake up until the third day. Xun Yu had already organized public opinion guidance with Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu. This opportunity was great. Lu Bu woke up By then, various orders had been issued.

Looking at the arrangements made by Xun Yu and others, Lu Bu nodded in admiration and said: "Wen Ruo is worthy of being a talented king. You will continue to handle this matter."

"Here!" Xun Yu bowed and accepted the matter.

"Lord, when should I leave?" Guo Jiaxiao asked. Jiangdong has been decided and it's time to leave.

"Just these few days." Lu Bu said with a smile. The overall situation in Jiangdong has been decided. The remaining matters are just to choose a suitable person to stay and solve them. And this person, Lu Bu has already chosen in his mind...
