The military doctor immediately treated him, and found that Huang Gai was overwhelmed with grief and anger, and then he vomited blood and fell into a coma. As long as he recuperates well, his life is not in danger!

Cao Cao immediately ordered to carry Huang Gai back for treatment, and sent people to send a lot of ginseng, velvet antler, ganoderma lucidum...a kind of great tonic, so that the doctor was on guard twelve hours a day, so that there would be no problems!

However, Cao Cao was still worried, and secretly recruited more than a dozen spies who had been wandering around Jiangdong all year round to identify the authenticity of the head, for fear that the Jiangdong army would kill innocent people and pretend to be members of the Huang clan!

After some identification, the spies unanimously determined: These are really members of the Huang clan, including Huang Gai's four sons, six grandsons, granddaughters, and some other blood relatives.

However, after checking, some spies found that there were a few young female relatives missing, who should be Huang Gai's daughter-in-law.

It is estimated that several of Huang Gai's daughters-in-law are young and beautiful, with scorching grace, or they are enslaved by the government, or served as prostitutes in the army. For them, life would be worse than death!

(It is secretly stated in the book that Huang has two daughters-in-law who are already pregnant with Liujia, so they are properly hidden. If a baby boy is born, it will be regarded as leaving a bloodline for Huang!)

At this point, Cao Cao finally believed that Huang Gai sincerely surrendered, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have made such a ruthless move to slaughter all members of the Huang family, so he issued two orders:

One is to prepare 47 coffins, and then carve the body with sandalwood, bury the members of the Huang clan thickly in the soil, and build a seal, erect a stone tablet, sacrifice with three animals, and find a monk to recite scriptures to save the dead!

Second, send eloquent people to appease Huang Gai, give a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and at the same time give up the order of house arrest. Huang Gai and his subordinates can walk freely in Cao Ying!

"Duke Zhou Jin is very generous. Although she has a little arrogance, she is definitely not a vicious person. How could she kill people, young and old, even innocent children? There must be fraud in it, but where is the fraud?"

In the Xuanjia barracks, after hearing the news, Xiao Yi was also surprised for a long time. Based on his understanding of Zhou Yu - mad but not poisonous, proud and loyal, he is a bright-hearted person who will never kill innocent people indiscriminately!

Even if Huang Gai really surrendered, at most he would blame his sons instead of beheading his family and cutting off blood. If it was Sun Quan, he would do such a thing!

When things go wrong, there must be a demon, but Xiao Yi observed secretly for a long time, but he couldn't find Huang Gai's problem. He neither spied on the military situation, nor deceived the crowd, nor did he intend to assassinate, so he just stayed in the camp honestly. What is the conspiracy?

Xiao Yi is also a body of flesh and blood, it is impossible to know everything, but an ominous premonition has always been shrouded in his heart, and in order to prevent any eventuality, he secretly issued a military order:

The Xuanjia Army, the Zaying Camp, the Danyang Army, the Digging Army, and the Xuezi Army all closed the gates of the camp, no outsiders were allowed to enter, and they were not allowed to go out at will. They retracted into their shells like turtles, ready to resist. Unknown danger!

Chapter 1293 Plague prevails, catastrophe strikes!

Perhaps it was the doctor's skillful skills, or perhaps the tonic had helped. In short, Huang Gai woke up after being in a coma for a night.

After another two days of recuperation, Huang Gai was able to move normally. First, he went to the graves of his relatives, offered incense and cried bitterly, and then went to the Chinese military camp, thanking the prime minister for his kindness and grandly burying Huang's family. Cao Cao naturally comforted him with good words, and he bestowed a lot of property and sealed a thousand households with food!

The prime minister treated him so kindly, and the civil and military officials had to show that they brought all kinds of gifts and visited General Huang to appease his bereavement. 'Thoughts!

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is to have no heirs. The ancients valued the inheritance of blood, even surpassing the glory and wealth. Anyway, don't give up if you don't have a son!

If you really can't have a son, you can adopt a son from your own brother or cousin to inherit your family business. If there is no suitable candidate, you have to find a son from the wild or buy it from a human trafficker. !

Otherwise, it will become an extinct family, no one will be filial piety in life, no one will sacrifice blood and food after death, and become a lonely wild ghost, that is the most terrible thing!

Huang Gai is over [-] years old, and all his relatives are extinct. If he wants to marry a wife and concubines and have children, he is probably powerless. Now the best way is to adopt a foster son to provide for his retirement and inherit the title!

After the news came out, it caused quite a commotion in Cao Ying. Some officials with low official positions and many sons all secretly moved their minds. Yi, another thousand households were added, what a big piece of fat!

The Han Dynasty implemented the "Law of Inheritance of the First Son", from the emperor of the real dragon to the people of Limin, he would hand over all his family property (throne, title, field house, property, concubine...) to the eldest son to inherit, as for other My sons, if you are lucky, give some property, if you are unlucky, go for it yourself!

But as a parent, those who don’t love their sons will always try to find ways to gain some benefits for the second son and the concubine. Adoption is one of the ways. Relatives, friends, colleagues... If there is no successor in the family, let your own son Adoption, at least get a family business, isn't it!

It's no wonder that people have no backbone. For the sake of a good family business, they let their sons change their names, because like Xiao Yi has the ability to conquer the family business with bare hands, no matter how many sons they have, they can afford to raise them and divide them up. There are really too few people!

Didn’t someone as honorable as Cao Cao give Xiahoudun his three concubines’ sons? Not only did he appease the brothers of the same clan and prevent their inheritance from being cut off, but he also took a fancy to Xiahoudun’s official position, title, and large private land!

As a result, officials flocked to visit the old general Huang Gai. Those who had sons in the army washed up and brought them here. luck!

In other words, Huang Gai caught countless "stupid fish" with titles and food cities as bait, and they came to his camp, sometimes receiving more than a dozen groups of guests a day, with warm hospitality and great hospitality!

A few days later, in the name of returning gifts, Huang Gai took a group of sick subordinates to visit all the officials and generals, no matter whether they were familiar with them or not, and their attitudes were hot or cold, anyway, they would visit them one by one!

He also gave the rewarded gold, silver and jewelry to the people who were visited. As a result, Huang Gai's popularity soared all the way. It was said that he was humble and courteous, spent money like water, and had the style of ancient celebrities, and more people were willing to make friends with him , including Brother Xiahou, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin...these important generals!

However, Huang Gai went around the entire Cao camp, but there were two places he couldn't get in: one was Xiao Yi's direct line troops: the Xuanjia army, the trapped camp, the Danyang soldiers, the student army... They received the military order, and the camp strictly prohibited them from entering. Come in and out at will, Huang Gai came to visit several times, but was turned away, and he didn't accept any gifts!

The second is the Jingzhou water army camp, also in the name of "practicing tactics", and refused Huang Gai and others to enter. Although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are greedy for money and lust, and have low moral character, the two villains also have advantages, that is, they are very good at knowing people!

But in Cao Ying, they identified Xiao Yi, and imitated everything they did. If Xiao Yi sneezed, the two of them would catch a cold; !

Now Xiao Yi doesn't open the gate of the camp, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun also don't open it, even if it hurts blood, they don't accept Huang Gai's gift, because they understand a truth, as long as they follow Da Sima, they will definitely not suffer!

................................................

The sun and the moon shuttled, time passed, seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye, Cao Ying had a little problem, some soldiers were weak, sleepy, had a headache, and had vomiting and diarrhea, as if suffering from acclimatization!

Cao Ying was not surprised at all, because since the army marched south, the soldiers have been unacceptable, vomiting until their stomachs are empty, diarrhea until their legs are weak, and even vomited to death, but most of them can slowly recover after taking the medicine. Once you get used to it, even if you don't take the medicine and stick to it, you will get used to vomiting!

Therefore, the doctors of Cao Ying, according to the disease of acclimatization, made a lot of decoctions and gave them to the sick one by one, thinking that the medicine will be cured in a few days after the disease is cured!

Five or six days later, the situation surprised the doctors. Instead of recovering, the number of sick people increased suddenly. In almost every camp, there were people who got sick. One spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds... ...and it's getting worse!

And the first batch of sick people began to fluctuate between hot and cold, back and forth, and some people slowly suffocated to death. At this point, the doctors finally understood that the soldiers were not acclimatized, but infected with malaria. , A very powerful plague!

The situation was reported to the Chinese army, and the civil and military officials were in a mess. Some were trembling, some were crying, and some were writing suicide notes. Cao Cao's face was also livid, and he almost fell to the ground. No wonder everyone Such a panic, this is an era of discoloration about 'plague'!

Once the plague breaks out, it will range from several counties to several prefectures, people and animals will be sick, and medicine will be hard to save... In the end, most of the people will die, and the rest will be displaced.

In the third year of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty's longevity, the national population was over 6000 million. In the first year of Jian'an, there were only 500 million people in the country. In just 40 years, the population decreased by three quarters, and the number is still declining. The reason It lies in wars, droughts, floods, locusts... and the biggest "hero" is the plague!

What's even more frightening is that the plague not only kills people, but also shakes the rule of the country. The Taiping Dao founded by Zhang Jiao, the wise teacher of Great Liang, took advantage of the epidemic to spread talisman water and treat people's diseases, and recruited millions of believers. In the end, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the impact of the Han Dynasty was smashed!

"Boom! -boom! -boom!"

........................

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, 36 generals gathered and beat the drums violently at the same time. On the ground, or being supported by someone, he staggered to the tent of the Chinese army!

It turned out that in just a few days, most of the civil and military officials were also sick, and the proportion was higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Moreover, only two-thirds of the people who came to the Chinese army tents, and the rest were lying in the tents-vomiting and diarrhea , unconscious, unable to discuss matters at all, among them are the Xiahou brothers, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals!

There were more than a dozen doctors standing at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, and several large iron pots were placed. All civil and military men who came to discuss matters would drink two large bowls of soup and medicine, and then be given a white cloth to cover their faces. Although the prescription was not right, White cloth can't block the epidemic, but it's better than nothing!

"See Mr. Prime Minister... cough cough... Wanfu Jin'an... cough cough!"

"Everyone is welcome... cough cough... please sit down!"

The ministers reluctantly lined up, just bowed to salute, and fell down seven or eight people, or had a splitting headache, or were hot and cold, even the generals like tigers, now they are mostly sick cats!

Everyone was also horrified to find that Cao Cao's face was pale and trembling. It was hot summer, but he was wrapped in a thick fur. It seemed that everyone was equal before the plague, and he was as noble as a prime minister, and he didn't hide from it!

At this time, many people thought of Xiao Yi's words: "When Shan Biao is born, there will be a catastrophe. It is better to send troops back to the north to avoid unknown disasters. When the time is favorable, we can send troops to the south, and we will be able to calm down with one blow. Jiangdong!"

If you had listened to Xiao Yi's words and retreated to the north as soon as possible, there would be disasters like today. Now the plague is prevalent, countless soldiers have fallen ill, and the combat effectiveness has plummeted. The Sun and Liu coalition forces are even eyeing them. If one is not handled properly, the entire army may be wiped out up!

What is even more depressing is that when Xiao Yi proposed to withdraw the troops back then, most of the people agreed. It was Cao Cao and Pang Tongtong who sang together and forcibly suppressed the proposal to withdraw the troops. Touching the hilt of the sword frequently, his eyes were full of killing intent!
