Chapter 386

A plague outbreak is a scary situation, but it's also an interesting one.

The frightening thing is that it will not only take the lives of many people, but also cause great mental torture to the survivors.

Such as the current situation of the Kwantung Allied Forces, without the help of an effective isolation policy, the battalion can be said to be devastated, and all the soldiers look numb.

In mid-November, which was almost a month before the outbreak of the plague, the Kwantung Allied Forces suffered countless casualties, and the morale of the army had dropped to freezing point, and it was getting worse and worse. A large number of soldiers had even fled at night.

The remaining soldiers, looking at the robes who died of the plague every day, turned into corpses and were carried out of the barracks and burned on the spot, heartache, fear, panic and other emotions filled their hearts.

After a month of fermentation, these emotions finally turned into numbness!
The siblings who talked and laughed yesterday may turn into a wisp of lonely ghosts today.For a moment, the sad atmosphere of the death of the rabbit and the fox filled the entire barracks.

Hostility is also constantly rising.

Like a bowstring, the emotions of nearly 20 soldiers have been pulled to the extreme.At this time, as long as there is a slight disturbance, the entire barracks can be set on fire.

Those generals who have been in battle for a long time naturally understand this truth. Fortunately, the battle has been fought, and there are conditions to appease the emotions of the soldiers.Even so, the morale of the coalition forces continued to slump.

Death is scary, especially in the face of unknown death. No one knows whether the next person who will die of the disease will be himself.Human nature has always been to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In this terrifying atmosphere, the status quo can be maintained because of the hard work of the generals of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

But on the side of the Xuzhou Legion, which is far away from the coalition station, the plague is a very interesting situation.

This is not to say that there were no dead people in the Xuzhou army. On the contrary, the Xuzhou army also suffered heavy casualties when the plague broke out. By mid-October, [-] soldiers had died of the disease, and nearly [-] soldiers were forcibly quarantined.

However, under Lin Chao's decision, the soldiers were separated by a certain distance, which greatly weakened the lethality of the plague.And one month later, all the sick soldiers have been screened out, and the remaining soldiers have almost no possibility of contracting the disease.

Facing the good and prosperous situation every day, although the morale of Xuzhou soldiers has dropped, they can barely maintain it.Before Guo Jia left, he gave another extremely clever method to appease the soldiers.

That is to collect the casualties of the Kwantung Allied Forces every day, read them out in the army, and try to let every soldier know the tragedy of the Allied Forces.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

When Xuzhou soldiers learned the death toll of the Kwantung Allied Army, they were immediately full of confidence in the future, so that few deserters appeared.Although this somewhat means that one's own happiness is based on the pain of others...

But it's joy, it's true joy!
It's really cool to stand on the shore and watch the boat capsize.

It's a pity that Guo Jia's proposal before leaving, has never been implemented.After Zhao Yun avoided this question last time by urinating, Guan Yu roughly understood what Zhao Yun meant - he was born a man, and he only got fame right away!

This kind of sneak attack was not his intention.Furthermore, the princes of the Guandong are still allies in name, and it is not easy to start because of their face.

Therefore, Guan Yu temporarily stopped this thought.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.

First, Dong Zhuo was killed, and then there was a great epidemic, which made the already extremely fragile Kanto Alliance precarious.Everyone wanted to seek some benefits, and then went back to their respective homes to concentrate on development.

But who knew that the epidemic would come so fast, even if they wanted to return to the base area, it would be difficult to start.

Although everyone stayed where they were and wanted to wait until the epidemic was contained before taking action, the nearly 20 troops always had to eat.

Among the allied forces, Yuan Shu's army and Xuzhou army's food and grass were all supplied by Yuan Shu.But after arriving in Luoyang, leader Yuan stopped providing food and grass.As for the Yanzhou army and Yuan Shao's side, at the beginning, they each had their own food.Over time, the Yanzhou Army headed by Liu Dai will not have enough food and grass.

At this time, Yuan Shao seemed to have a lot of followers, but compared to his younger brother Yuan Shu, his level was more than 01:30 points worse.In order to enhance his strength, Liu Dai, a scumbag, became his target.

Liu Dai was short of food, so Yuan Benchu ​​sent food, but what he sent was the food and grass of Jizhou Mu Han Fu.

Yuan Benchu ​​gained fame, but it was Han Fucut who cut the flesh.

Han Fu was naturally upset, but he was indecisive by nature, coupled with the lack of food before, he had already had a bit of trouble with Yuan Shao, so naturally he didn't dare to violate it openly, so he distributed a lot of food and grass as gifts to Liu Dai.

At the beginning, everyone was in harmony, but as the epidemic became more and more serious, the morale of the army was low. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, Han Fu not only tried his best to appease the emotions of the soldiers, but also improved the food.

In this way, it is inevitable that there will be some differences in treatment, and even some of Liu Daijun's food and grass will be withheld.

After Liu Dai heard the news, he was furious immediately.

Let's agree, you Jizhou will provide me with food and grass, and if there is any change, my Yanzhou army will stand by your side.

But now, my soldiers can't get a dry bite from eating bran-swallowed vegetables and porridge.If this continues, the morale and morale of the army will not be maintained, and the soldiers under the command will definitely give birth to signs of rebellion.

As for your soldiers, they have enough fish and meat every day, and their crotch is oily when they fart. Those soldiers who were not infected have gained a lot of weight this month.

If it’s really a lack of food and grass, everyone will grit their teeth and go through the difficulties together, but your Korean festival is clearly treated differently!

In the affairs of the world, it has always been not to worry about few, but to worry about unevenness.

Who can bear such a double standard?
Han Fu's actions completely annoyed Liu Dai. The grievances of his soldiers also needed an outlet.

Ever since, the angry Liu Dai directly brought thousands of elites into the Allied camp to question Han Fu.

Probably because he has tasted the sweetness of the grass on the wall, Liu Dai has been a little flustered recently, always feeling that he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, whether it is Er Yuan or Liu Bei, they will only try their best to win him over, and will not turn against him.

It's a pity that Han Fu doesn't think so at all.In his opinion, all the food in Jizhou is his, and he would be heartbroken if he gave it even a stone.If it wasn't for Yuan Shao's face, I would have made you Liu Gongshan not even able to drink porridge!
You have no food?

What does it matter to me!
What kind of war do you fight without food, what kind of governor of Yanzhou, why don't you go home and farm, and you won't be hungry!
Ever since, Liu Dai, who had drifted away, and Han Fu, who had double standards, had a disagreement, and they actually fought!
Liu Dai only brought thousands of elites, and at Han Fu's home court, he was naturally not an opponent, so he was beaten back and forth.Fortunately, Liu Dai is not stupid. He understands the truth that a good man does not suffer from immediate losses, so he hurriedly yelled to stop, and retreated after saying a few harsh words.

Han Fu, who was victorious, was naturally a little proud. He looked up to the sky and laughed in the direction Liu Dai was leaving, and let out bold words that the Yanzhou army was simply vulnerable.

But before he finished laughing, Liu Dai actually went and came back, killing him again.

This time Liu Dai teamed up with Qiao Mao, and the two joined forces, leading a full [-] troops, not to mention martial arts, and directly greeted with bows and crossbows, first shot Han Fu to make his face bloom.

By the time Han Fu reacted, it was too late.

He had to flee in a hurry, and the army under his command was beaten to pieces.In the chaos, even he himself was hit by several arrows, but fortunately no vitals were hurt.After breaking through the siege with all his might, he headed towards Yuan Shao's camp.

Liu Dai took down Han Fu's camp after only one battle. The joy in his heart was beyond words, and he was even more ecstatic.

At this moment, he is just like Yuan Shao when he was fighting at Guandu, Cao Cao when he was fighting at Chibi, and Liu Bei when he was fighting at Yiling.
As for the soldiers under Liu Dai's command, they are also very happy. After all, Han Fu has hoarded a lot of food and grass in the camp, so there is no need to tighten their belts to live now.

Seeing that the army's morale was available, Liu Dai immediately announced the opening of the warehouse, allowing the soldiers to have a full meal.

But such a thing as extreme joy begets sorrow, it happened very quickly, and Han Fu was beaten to shame, so how could he let it go.

He led the remnants of the defeated generals to Yuan Shao's camp, explained the situation to Yuan Shao, and asked Yuan Shao to send troops to support him and attack Liu Dai, a shameful act.

On the one hand, he is his ally, and on the other hand, he is the object he tried to win over, Yuan Shao is also very helpless.He wanted to persuade him to make peace, but Han Fu had suffered such a big loss, no matter how indecisive he was, it was impossible for him to swallow this breath.

After all, all the princes of the Guandong are here, if he shrinks back today, how will he gain a foothold among the princes in the future, won't he become the laughing stock of the world!
At the critical moment, Cao Cao stood up and persuaded Yuan Shao to support Han Fu and send troops for revenge.

After all, no matter how much Han Fu withheld military rations, he still gave Liu Dai a bite to eat, and he didn't run out of food.Liu Dai's greed is obviously insufficient, and he led the army to attack Han Fu blatantly, which has exceeded the bottom line.

If Yuan Shaoruo still doesn't take action, what will the younger brothers behind him think?
Who will work hard for you Yuan Benchu ​​in the future?

Cao Cao's words awakened Yuan Shao who was hesitating.Yuan Shao no longer had a fluke mentality towards Liu Dai, but used Cao Cao and Bao Xin as aids to cooperate with Han Fu to fight back against Liu Dai.

Liu Dai, the living god of war, under the attack of Cao Cao and Bao Xin, only lasted for one night before being defeated and fled in a hurry.

For this series of changes in the rabbit ups and downs, other princes who did not participate in the war also saw it.

Especially Yuan Shu, after hearing the news, he was even overjoyed!

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, this is simply the best news he has received.To celebrate, he even invited Sun Jian, Ma Teng, Lu Bu and other generals to hold a banquet in the camp and drink happily all night.

During the banquet, Yuan Shu raised his glass and said with a sneer, "That concubine's house slave really hasn't made any progress at all. He actually wants to win over Liu Gongshan. He is so stupid!"

"What the leader said is very true. Since the Suanzao League, Liu Gongshan has been shrinking and watching from the sidelines." Sun Jian also sneered and said, "This thing that is waiting for a price is a mediocre person. Snobbish ears, don't subdue them!"

A macho man like Sun Jian who likes to be upright naturally looks down on Liu Dai.When he spoke, the disdain in his eyes was hardly concealed.

Next to him, Ma Teng shook his head and said with a smile: "What General Wentai said is true. Even if Liu Gongshan is not a snobbish person, it is useless to subdue him. Just imagine that his tens of thousands of troops were defeated overnight by Cao Mengde." Gentlemen, has there been such a weak person in the past hundred generations? It is not an exaggeration to say that the governor is in vain!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Shu looked at Ma Teng in surprise, and smiled even more happily.

Unexpectedly, Ma Shoucheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can be so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued when hurting others.

"That's true, what Shou Cheng said is true! Liu Dai's son, it's quite appropriate to call him the governor of Baidi!"

After all, Lv Bu had just surrendered and had no experience of fighting side by side with the generals. Naturally, he did not dare to express his opinions after Sun Jian and Ma Teng.But seeing Yuan Shu laughing heartily, Lu Bu laughed too.

For a time, the camp was full of joy.

Yuan Shu even felt that the wine in his glass was even sweeter, even sweeter than the honey water he likes to drink on weekdays!
……

In the Xuzhou army camp.

With the ability of the school affairs office, Guan Yu actually received the report of Han Fu and Liu Dai's firefight earlier than Yuan Shu who was closer.

For this reason, he specially summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

Said to be the generals, but in fact there are two or three big cats and kittens, besides him and Zhao Yun, there are only Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu.

Guan Yu sat high in the main seat, looked at the three people below, hesitation flashed between his brows, and he stroked his long beard again, and the boredom in his heart was relieved a little.

The three people sitting below are really not good people to discuss.

Although Zhao Yun is courageous, resourceful and talented as a general, his style of conduct is quite different from his own.Moreover, Zhao Yun is also very good at being a man. Whenever he has an opinion that disagrees with him, he simply keeps silent, or goes along with himself, and he doesn't want to create a scene where the main and deputy generals disagree.

But what Guan Yu wants is for everyone to express their feelings directly, not to pretend to agree.

Since Lin Chao pointed out the righteousness in Guan Yu's heart with a single word the year before last, Guan Yu has reflected on himself from time to time in the past two years.

Although what Zichu has learned is all-encompassing, his understanding of the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period is definitely not as deep as his own.After all, I have been studying this book for many years, and it can be said that I am more proficient than anyone in the world.

But Zichu's casual words made him realize suddenly, why?
Later, he found an opportunity to discuss with Lin Chao several times, and at the same time he thought hard, and finally figured out the reason.

To put it simply, it can be summed up in three words, that is, from the great to the simple, from different routes to the same goal, and by analogy!
These three words are understood to the extreme, but they are actually the same reason.

There is a sequence of hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the surgery industry.

Any truth comprehended to the extreme is almost similar.Therefore, you don't have to deny everything just because other people disagree with your own beliefs. Instead, you should learn the most valuable part of other people's principles.

This is what the sage said, when three people walk together, there must be my teacher!
I have to say that although this change is only a very small change, it made Guan Yu less stubborn and has the possibility of being persuaded by others!
But to persuade, you have to talk!
Needless to say, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, a well-recognized honest man, has experienced two years of beatings, and now he is developing in a stable direction.

As for Zhang Xiu...

You can count on a natural dumb to express some valuable opinions!

I hope that Zhang Xiu will give useful opinions. This is not his problem, but your problem.
