Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 238 Disagreement
Yecheng, on the court hall of Taiwu Hall.

At this moment, Ran Min, Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, was in a state of desperation and could not care about what happened in the south of the river.

In the Battle of Cangting, more than [-] Hu people were captured.

How to deal with them has become a problem.

The order to kill Hu completely aroused the hatred between Hu people and Huaxia, but there are still many Hu generals and Jie people in Ran Min's army.

All the Gaoli guards in its core are all Jie people.

"Those who are not of our race must have a different mind. The barbarians look like beasts. Even if your majesty does not kill them all, they should not be flooded in the army. This is the way to bring about chaos!" Doctor Guanglu Wei Jian remonstrated.

Lu Chen, the supervisor of Zhongshu, said: "Your Majesty, with the posture of martial arts, is invincible in attacking and invincible, and greatly boosts the morale of Huaxia. At this time, we should go all out and attack Xiangguo!"

Ran Min on the throne had a complicated look on his face.

He was raised by Shihu since he was a child, and he lived in the environment of Jie people since he was a child, and he could not be transformed overnight.

"Hu people... can also be used by me, so that they can charge forward and consume the thieves from all directions. Why not?"

"The Hu people are afraid of His Majesty's majesty and have to bow their heads. Their hearts are unpredictable. Your Majesty uses it as a vanguard. Once the battlefield turns against you, wouldn't it be self-defeating? If Your Majesty feels sorry for the hard work of the soldiers, you might as well order the Black Cloud Army to go north and assist in attacking Xiangguo. The barbarians can be wiped out!" Shangshu ordered Liu Qun to remonstrate.

In the Battle of Cangting, Xiangguo was severely injured, and the Hu people suffered heavy losses. It was time to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Most people in the DPRK disapprove of Ran Min's move.

Because he not only took in Hu people's captives, but also promoted many Hu people's generals.

"You don't need to worry too much, if you turn against me, I will kill you!" Ran Min was extremely confident in his own force.

From his point of view, starting from the defeat of Shi Chong in the Battle of Pingthorn, no less than [-] Hu people died in the hands of Ran Min on the battlefield alone. However, the Hu people did not surrender, but resisted more resolutely.

Qiang, Jie, Xiongnu, and Xianbei are united.

Ran Min won many victories, but he still couldn't reverse the disadvantage of Yecheng, and most counties in Hebei still obeyed the orders of Xiangguo.

Since the problem cannot be solved by killing alone, there is only another way.

In fact, even though the Wei army was victorious in successive battles, they were also exhausted. Ran Min discovered this, so he did not take advantage of the victory to attack Xiangguo.

Taking Hu captives was the only feasible strategy he felt.

"Your Majesty kills Hu, but at the same time uses Hu again. Repeatedly like this, you will lose the popularity of the world!" Wei Jian pointedly remonstrated.

As soon as this remark came out, the Taiwu Hall immediately fell silent.

What Wei Jian said was true, but the way he spoke was too direct, without any regard for Emperor Ran Min's face.

Sure enough, Ran Min's face turned green and pale, his character was bold and true, but he had to follow his temperament, otherwise he would be plucking his beard.

However, after the expression on Ran Min's face changed for a while, he laughed loudly and said, "Qing, you are also a loyal minister, three hundred reward cakes!"

The atmosphere in the hall was one of relaxation.

"Your Majesty is benevolent." Shen Zhong, Farao and others clapped their hands in praise, followed by the sound of singing praises.

Wei Jian, with white beard and hair, looked at Ran Min, moved his lips, and finally swallowed it back.

In this disagreement between the monarch and his ministers, the strong Ran Min won in the end.

When the voice of singing meritorious deeds was subdued, Liu Qun cupped his hands and said: "Today there are signs of plague around Yecheng, so we must be on guard. I heard that Heiyun Mountain rescued the plague back then, and it was quite effective. Your majesty might as well order him to send people north to assist Yedu. Quench the plague."

Liu Qun and Liu Qi are cousins, East Commandery is not too far from Ye City, and correspondence can be exchanged back and forth within a few days.

"Liu Lingjun seems to be quite fond of Yanzhou?" Farao asked with a fake smile.

Given Liu Qun's reputation in Hebei, Farao was not worthy of carrying his shoes, and Shi Hu treated him with respect back then.

"Your Majesty and Li Dudu have a friendship in robes. The great Wei established the country, and Li Dudu was the first to express his congratulations. The northern and southern begging troops belong to the same line. If we can join forces, the Hu people in Hebei will not be worried."

"Li Yue separatized the Central Plains, and his heart was not small. The court recruited his son to enter the court several times, but they always pushed back and forth. If your majesty uses it, wouldn't it help his momentum?" Farao's words are not unreasonable.

Ran Min's sharp eyes fell on Liu Qun, and he spoke up for the Heiyun Army several times, which naturally aroused Ran Min's suspicion.

However, Liu Qun's status is very important, and he has great prestige in the hearts of scholars and people in Hebei.

When Ran Wei established the country, it was Liu Qun's full support that got the response of the Hebei gentry.

Liu Qun said sternly: "The unshakable enemy of the Great Wei Dynasty is the Hu people of Xiangguo, not Yanzhou. Now the Hu people in Hebei are still rampant, and Yecheng is independent of the Hu dust. Although Your Majesty is brave and invincible, he still needs two or three allies. , if Your Majesty can bring Hebei to an end, Yanzhou will naturally bow down and become a minister, and all the ministers think and plan are all for the Great Wei, Your Majesty will learn from you!"

The words were so loud that it was impossible to refute them.

The suspicion on Ran Min's face gradually faded, "Lingjun's words are a result of Yang's conspiracy. If Hebei can be wiped out, Yanzhou can be settled without a fight!"

However, others could not refute it, but Farao quickly thought of a countermeasure, "With your majesty's bravery, it is only a matter of time before Xiangguo is wiped out. If you use Yanzhou's troops, how will people in the world think of me, Wei, and your majesty?"

These words touched Ran Min's heart.

Now Wei Jun is just tired, and he can recover after a period of cultivation.

With the help of Yanzhou's power, it will inevitably make Yanzhou's tail too big. The previous Fu Hong was a living example. Ran Min advised Shi Hu twice to act first.

Facing the stronger Heiyun army now, Ran Min's fear is only a little more.

"That's right, after a period of recuperation, the soldiers can go down to assist the country, please don't persuade me any more!" Ran Min threw down a sentence and winked at the eunuch beside him.

"Back to court—" the eunuch draws out the tone...

Standing in the empty city of Luoyang, Li Yue felt extremely desolate and desolate. It was no longer the prosperous imperial capital of the past. There were collapsed houses everywhere, and lush wormwood grew on Tongtuo Street.

Fu Jian was considered a respectable person, and the things he couldn't take away were sealed in the treasury and were not burned.

"Send someone to Yecheng, say to recover Luoyang, return it to the court, rest the army for three days, and then return to Chenliu." Li Yue didn't have much interest in this place.

Insufficient strength is a disaster in the hands.

Since Ran Min wants it, give it to him.

As soon as he returned to Chenliu, news about the plague poured in from all over the place.

As the weather got hotter, the plague became more and more ferocious.

There were inevitably signs in Dongjun, Xingyang and other places, and people were sent to ask Chen Liu for help.

Yue Ji personally led the medical battalion to treat them, while Li Yue prepared herbs, food, and manpower in the rear.

The people in the medical camp have accumulated rich experience. Every time they go to a place, they isolate the patients, block off the streets and villages, cook medicine and give out porridge. Everything is in order.

As soon as the Yanzhou plague started, it was quickly extinguished.

However, the news from Qingzhou is not optimistic.

Bo Wu went with his troops, which aroused the fear of many eunuchs and tyrants, who closed the city gate tightly and refused the medical camp to enter.

Some counties and counties controlled by the Hu people faced each other directly and were defeated by the southern army.

But their bad luck came soon, and the plague broke out, causing casualties everywhere.

There is a detailed report on the school affairs: on May [-]th, when I passed through Guang County, Qi County, the city was occupied by Hu people, and they shouted and cursed our army at the top of the city. Before a moment, one of them vomited black blood. It was getting late, and our army set up camp outside the city. When it was dawn, the gates of the city were opened, and there were no more than ten barbarians in the city, and the city was full of stench...

Similar reports abound.

The plague spreads quickly and is extremely lethal. Once it breaks out, people and animals will be unlucky.

Li Yue remembered the Hou Jing Rebellion in history, when Jiankang was besieged, and the corpses were thrown into the Qinhuai River, which polluted the water source in the city and caused a plague. In a capital city with a population of 40, only tens of thousands remained.

The plague also broke out in Jiangnan, and natural and man-made disasters superimposed each other, causing unprecedented catastrophe to the originally strong and prosperous Jiangnan. Since then, the strength of the Northern Kingdom has surpassed that of the Southern Dynasty.

Almost every major plague in history has deeply affected the pattern of the times.

Of course, the counties and counties in Qingzhou that are close to Yanzhou received timely treatment.

Although there were still heavy casualties, the plague in the jurisdiction was under control.

Bo Wu simply took Qi County as his base camp and settled down.

The plague in Qingzhou was so tragic, let alone Hebei.

Many county towns were completely depopulated, the Hu people fled to Xiangguo, and the common people fled to Yecheng. There were not many people at first, but when the plague came, there were many deaths and injuries, and the rest fled to other places, spreading the plague.

The outside of Liyang city was crowded with people who heard the news.

Yueji led the people from the medical camp to the north, and Li Yue also mobilized supplies and manpower there.

Entering June, the weather was extremely hot, and a few light rains did not relieve the heat.

Fortunately, there was no large-scale plague outbreak in Yanzhou.

　I've been depressed for the past few days, two more
