History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 208 Heaven and Earth·Man’s Self-improvement
  As soon as the emperor's order came out, all countries took action one after another.

Prepare for battle!

The king of Chu personally took charge of the expedition, and ordered Zhaoyang and Doulian to be the chief commanders on the left and right, and Jingyang to be the vanguard... All the generals of Chu State rose up, lined up to recruit troops, and led the troops for training.

People of all ethnic groups marched and sang, hoping to appeal to the people's hearts and join the army generously.

but……

The people of Chu are sad, lamenting the country's lack of virtue and committing crimes on behalf of the country.

How do you get the fighting spirit at this time?

Even if you act softly, you won't get what you want!

In this regard, the king of Chu could only send Sun Shuao to coordinate the number of people in the country, and issue strict orders to recruit troops into the army.

Sun Shuao sighed: An unjust defense is more tragic than an unjust war.

……

Under the strict orders of the Chu State, virtue seemed to be put aside by the powerful, and Zhou Li... was also forgotten by them.

It seems like a really barbaric way to manipulate an entire country.

The loss of faith caused the Chu State to retreat into an... awkward state that was about to collapse.

And just when both the war and the people's sentiments were unfavorable.

Feng Yun has found the source of the plague from the sand mine.

"Back then, all the Yangyue people in the sand were trapped and killed here?"

Feng Yun looked into the deep mine. The stench of corpses was so thick that it mixed with the moisture of the surrounding mine ash. It looked like a swamp, with black and red mud emerging...

"Take the torch farther away." Feng Yun waved.

There is not enough gas in the mine, and the corpse is red gas, fearing that it will explode.

Qu Yuan, who came to his senses on the side, ordered everyone to retreat.

"Fengzi?" Qu Yuan exclaimed.

Then Feng Yun stepped forward in person, scraped off some mud, and stored it in a wooden box.

said again.

"Bring the wild things."

Hearing the sound, Qu Yuan hurriedly waved.

I saw hundreds of armored soldiers covering their mouths and noses with medicine packs carrying some wooden cages filled with wild animals.

Among them are hares, wild birds, wild wolves, wild boars, wild monkeys, and some zebra fish raised in sheepskin pockets.

It can be said that the common creatures in the land of Jingchu and Yangyue, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, have all been brought here.

Feng Yun waved his hand, and the mysterious energy flew up, cutting through the skin and flesh of these mountain creatures.

He also used mysterious energy as a guide, Zhuyou Gu and luck techniques to introduce the source of the plague around him along with these wounds into these objects in the mountains to simulate the disease.

Looking at the corpses in the darkness, Feng Yun said coldly: "Prepare lime and use lime to kill the source of the plague here. This mine...can only be mined when there is vegetation on the top."

After saying that, Feng Yun waved his hand.

"Let's go."

Qu Yuan on the side hesitated to speak.

Feng Yun shook his head.

"I know it even if I don't tell you."

"Red copper is precious, how can we let tens of thousands of Yangyue people know about it, not to mention that Chu and Yangyue... were at war at that time."

Feng Yun's voice was cold.

"Unless Yun is killed about this matter, Yun will write it down in "The Kingdoms of Chu" to let the world know that the way of heaven, earth and man destroys humanity, and those who trap people will also suffer human disasters, and heaven and earth will punish them together."

Feng Yun's eyes were slightly angry.

"I heard that many of the dignitaries in Chu have suffered from the plague and want to seek treatment from me?"

"...The dignitaries of Chu enjoy the dignity of Chu people."

"The people of Chu are suffering from the sins of the country at this time, and they are suffering from the plague due to the greed of red copper."

"Who is enjoying this country, and who will enjoy the red copper?"

"Qu Yuan, please spread the word that one of the Chu people has a plague, and none of the powerful people in Chu, including me, Feng Yun, will treat him."

Feng Yun walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

But he still stopped walking: "Bring these wild animals back to the sand camp, I need to observe the reaction."

"Find some wild animals of the same species and raise them in separate cages to see if they are infected by air."

"...the armored soldiers who were carrying wild animals were also in separate medical camps. I taught them medical skills to help the Chu Kingdom get rid of the plague."

"Remember, there are many people in this tent. I can't guarantee the effectiveness of the herbs just now. If you have fever symptoms, bring them to me immediately. I can protect you and hundreds of others with my own strength. Don't mess around."

After making arrangements, he walked away without looking at Qu Yuan's ashamed and embarrassed face.

After leaving the mine, Feng Yun returned to the sand camp.

The original scenery has been evacuated. It is said that Feng Yun was punished for delaying Feng Yun's search for the source of the plague and was kicked out of the position of uncle. Qu Wan, who had come to Yangyue to find medicine to cure people's cold, took over.

Qu Wan was also under Feng Yun at this time, searching for medicine to prevent wind and cold in various places in Yangyue.

As long as there is no cold, the plague will not break out.

And when summer comes, the weather is refreshing and beneficial, and if we take some precautions, the plague can be controlled.

If the wind and cold are controlled again in winter, even if we get sick again and many people die, it won't become a plague sweeping the land.

After all, a plague kills everyone in a country, and hundreds of thousands of people cannot make up for the evil caused by the plague.

In this way, we have tried our best to treat it.

"What happened to the prepared herbs?"

Processing, using special techniques, drying or roasting, grinding powder, or adding other herbs... are all ideas to remove toxicity and increase medicinal properties.

However, there is no such medicinal book at this time.

Feng Yun could only experiment by himself and write a book based on it, which was added to the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" for future reference.

"Use a new method to prepare it, just wait for Fengzi to test the medicine."

The slave taking care of the medicine said.

Feng Yun nodded and entered the medicine camp.

I heard a plop behind me.

"Fengzi, my father is in Yangyue Royal City and is seriously ill now. Please Fengzi save my father!"

Feng Yun heard the sound...

"The medicine has not yet been prepared. How many people can I heal with my own luck?"

"I can only do my best to ensure that these people who are looking for a broad-based cure with me are safe."

Feng Yun looked at the medicines on the shelf and smelled them carefully.

Take "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" as the way, and sacrifice it as a whip--Zhe Whip!
  The medicinal properties can be discovered!
  Feng Yun used ocher whip to test medicines. With the technique of observing qi and many pharmacological techniques, many medicines can be made into the ideal usable state in just a few times.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

In addition to this slave, there are many others in the medicine camp.

At this time, they all fell down and begged Feng Yun for help.

During this period, more or less, there were more and more plagues in Yangyue...

Feng Yun sighed slightly, took the prepared medicine, boiled the medicine in a copper furnace made of "Huangdi Neijing", and used medical theory to prepare the prescription.

"Look, when you ask, everyone will ask for it, but I am so weak, how can I save you?"

"Don't use the posture of begging. In my eyes, whether you are common people, slaves, or soldiers, all of you are equal in my eyes."

"Of course, I will put all the powerful people behind you."

"And the people who are looking for medicine with me will be put in front."

Feng Yun told the truth.

Although these slaves are illiterate, they are sensible, but they still cry constantly when their relatives are in front of them.

"Heaven tells people to die, and earth waits for people to be buried; both are the general trend of heaven and earth, and they move naturally... People are afraid of the sorrow of death and greedy for the joy of life, so they can only strive for self-improvement."

Feng Yun used the songs spread here to appease everyone in this way.

The mysterious energy is gentle and comes out slowly.

Let everyone settle down.

"Can you really survive if you keep striving for self-improvement?" someone asked.

Feng Yun shook his head.

"I don't know, but I know that as people continue to strive for self-improvement, it is difficult to determine the future. However, as the human race continues to strive for self-improvement, there will always be a turning point in the future."

"Ugh... Fengzi, your words are too broad, we are just slaves."

Someone is sad.

But no one asked Feng Yun to save his relatives anymore.

Feng Yun watched the smell of the medicine coming out and knew it was done, so he turned away the fire and used the warmth to accumulate the medicine.

"What happens to a slave is determined by man."

Feng Yun silently poured out the medicinal soup from the copper stove.

"The slaves will disappear."

Feng Yun seems to promise, and also seems to have seen through the years.

His words shocked the surrounding slaves. Some wanted to refute, but Qu Yuan had already entered.

Unlike Feng Yun, Feng Yun is friendly and treats everyone well.

But Qu Yuan was an aristocrat and might be friendly, but under his circumstances, how could a slave say anything to refute him?
