Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 239
In July, the Hebei plague worsened.

There is an imperial doctor in Yecheng, and the situation outside Yecheng is not optimistic.

Several wars broke out around Yecheng, which was also the place where the plague started.

According to the news sent back by Xizuo, although Ran Min sent imperial doctors to treat the people, there were many infected people, the imperial doctors were short of manpower, and the medicinal materials were not enough, even many imperial doctors were infected and died.

Yang Lue sent back news from Guangzong that there were many infected people in the county, and he asked to go north quickly for rescue.

Li Yue in Yecheng can't control it, but Guangzong must be rescued. This place is the base camp of the Beiqi Huojun. If it suffers heavy losses, it will not be conducive to the future development of the Heiyun Army.

And this time is also an opportunity to win people's hearts.

Li Yue then ordered Li Yang's medical camp to go north.

Hebei has been in chaos for a long time. The Chinese people went south, and the Hu people went north to Xiangguo. Large areas of land were reduced to no-man's land.

Under the escort of Xu Cheng's Heiyun Army, the medical camp was unimpeded.

Li Yue originally ordered Yueji to come back, but she was kind-hearted as a doctor, and she wrote back insisting to go north to take charge of the overall situation.

Guangzong is also considered half of Heiyun Army's territory. With the acquiescence of Dong Run and Zhang Wen, Yang Lue and Zhang Zhuer continued to infiltrate and win over a group of people, forming a force.

Someone took care of him, so Li Yue acquiesced.

The plague in Hebei is so serious that it is difficult to succeed without competent officers.

And Li Yue soon didn't care about Hebei.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. After entering June, there were only a few light rains, and then there was a drought that lasted for more than a month.

Many rivers in Yanzhou have dried up, and the river beds have been cracked by the sun.

Ohnozawa also subsided a lot.

The crops in the field were wilted by the scorching sun, and they were all bowed in the sun when they should have held their heads high.

Li Yue and Zhou Qian inspected various places, the sun was scorching, and the farmers and slaves carried water from more than ten miles away to the fields, and their faces, hands and feet were peeled from the sun.

But the water picked up can only be a drop in the bucket for the endless farmland.

Zhou Yan covered his forehead and looked at the sun above his head, "I'm afraid the harvest will be poor this year."

There are many lakes in Yanzhou. Although there is a drought, they can meet one-third of the field water. However, the problem is that there are a lot of barren fields that have been reclaimed this year, the stalls are too large, and many middle and low-grade fields have also been planted.

Li Yue sighed in his heart. At the beginning of this year, Hebei was surrounded by mountains of corpses and blood, while Yanzhou was as stable as Mount Tai. The few small battles were proactive and kept the flames of war out of Yanzhou. In order to create development opportunities, he did not expect that God would not awesome.

But this is also the norm. Farming depends on the face of God. Last year, the weather was good, but this year there is a slight drought, which is nothing more than normal.

"Isn't there still one month left before the autumn harvest? Take it easy." Li Yue was comforting Zhou Qian as well as himself.

"May God bless you!"

Back in Chenliu, Xin Can suggested building an altar in the south of the city to pray for rain from God.

"Emperor Wu Xianning, in the spring equinox of the second year, there was a long drought in the world. At Gengwu in May, he began to pray for rain in the mountains and rivers of Sheji. In June, Wuzi, he received Shuyu rain! Why don't you try it, the governor?" Xin Can shook his head and said.

He was talking about what happened in the second year of Sima Yan Xianning.

For several consecutive years of severe drought in Yongliang, Xianbei's bald tree's function reversed, and the momentum was huge. Two generals of the Jin Dynasty were beheaded in a row, and the world was shaken. Sima Yan could not sleep or eat.

"It's going to rain, it will fall naturally, why do you beg it?" Li Yue shook his hand.

"The root of all disasters and abnormalities is born from the loss of the country. When the country is going to prosper, there must be auspiciousness; The killing has never stopped, and the cruelty has never stopped. This is a warning from the heavens, because plagues and droughts continue." Xin Can took the opportunity to teach himself a lesson,

Li Yue was terribly disturbed.

Chang Wei said: "Praying for rain from the sky is a common practice in ancient times. The governor may as well try it. If it fails, it can also calm the hearts of the people."

This means almost treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Then give it a try." Li Yue remembered that he hadn't done a good job in offering sacrifices to heaven during his journey.

The power of God cannot be underestimated these days.

In the battle of Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu had less than 2 horses against Wang Mang's 40 troops. When God raised his hand, a meteorite fell, thus establishing the world of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 190...

History is sometimes stranger than fiction.

On a hot day, keep things simple.

An altar was built from the ground, incense was burned and bathed, and three animals were offered. Li Yue bowed his hands to the sky, and Xin Can, Chang Wei, and Zhou Qian watched with wide-eyed eyes from under the altar, and the soldiers looked even more solemn.

Li Yue may not believe in strange powers and chaos, but the soldiers believed it to be true.

The technique of prophecy is very popular in this era, so we can know that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Facing the clear sky and the scorching sun, Li Yue finished reading Xin Can's sacrificial oration and drank a glass of wine.

The sacrificial oration was written eloquently and with gorgeous rhetoric. Xin Can's level in this area is quite high, but Li Yue felt that they were all empty words, so he said to the scorching sun in the sky: "The world is in chaos until now, and the people are suffering. If the sky has eyes, Can rain down and relieve the people's upside down."

A sacrifice to heaven also ended hastily.

Li Yue didn't take it too seriously, who can understand God's temper?
Once you figure it out, you're no longer human...

For the next four or five days, the sun was still high, and it seemed to be even more sweltering.

At this time, Yecheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Yanzhou for help.

"The plague broke out in Yecheng. Your Majesty killed more than a dozen imperial doctors and their families in a row, and sent you to ask the governor to help you." Dong Run said extremely euphemistically.

Can make Ran Min bow his head, which shows that the situation in Yecheng is extremely serious.

If Ran Wei collapses, it will not be a good thing for Yanzhou now.

Jiangdong did not dare to go north, Yan country did not dare to go south, they were all overwhelmed by Ran Minhehe's martial arts.

"It's my duty!" Li Yue agreed without thinking too much.

Ran Wei persisted for more than a year, and Yanzhou grew by one point.

"The governor really understands righteousness. No wonder Liu Lingjun, Lu Zhongshu and others have spoken for the governor many times in the court."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" This was a pleasant surprise.

Liu Qun and Lu Zhan are not ordinary people. One is the Liu family in Zhongshan, the son of Liu Kun, and the other is the Lu family in Fanyang, and the Lu family is the leader of the northern gentry.

If Li Yue infiltrated Hebei with the support of Lu Shi and Liu Shi, things would be much easier.

This also means that the influence of the Black Cloud Army is growing.

"Liu Lingjun suggested several times that your majesty join forces with the governors to attack Xiangguo and completely wipe out the Hu people's forces, but your majesty...has a lot of doubts." Dong Run almost became Yanzhou's secret agent lurking in Yecheng.

"This strategy is great!" Li Yue sighed, if Ran Min agrees, the end of the Hu people will come.

But things are never so smooth.

Ran Min was worried that Heiyun Mountain would take the opportunity to grow stronger, and Li Yue was also worried that Ran Min would cut off his back after going north.

boom -

Just as he was speaking, a huge roar suddenly sounded outside.

Li Yue didn't react for a moment.

But there were bursts of cheers outside the mansion, "Rain, heavy rain! The governor prayed for rain!"

Then there was the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, Li Yue stared at the heavy rain outside the hall in a daze...
