Chapter 388: Should You Do It?

Lu Bu quietly rectified ten cavalry brigades, including the Xuanfu Brigade and the Teaching Brigade. He was preparing to take the 20,000 cavalry back to Yecheng overnight, one man and two horses, and set off overnight. Before Lu Bu set off, he had a few things to do.

The first thing is to preside over the cremation ceremony of the fallen soldiers, cremate the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Central Army, and then bury the ashes on the banks of the Sishui River.

In this era, cremation was only recognized by Buddhists and a few foreign races. The people of the Han Dynasty all advocated the detention of the land. Especially during the Eastern Han Dynasty, filial piety was already a demon, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were buried with the dead. Lu Bu worked very hard to promote cremation under such a trend.

In the past five months, Lu Bu has vigorously promoted the "Lunheng" by Wang Chong, a master of the Eastern Han Dynasty, proclaiming that after death, the soul enters heaven or goes to hell, the body that exists in the world is meaningless, and the burial objects are meaningless. After this publicity was slowly accepted, Lu Bu began to promote the meaning of cremation. Lu Bu especially had a dialogue with the soldiers of the three armies, Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing, who were recognized as miracle doctors.

Lu Bu pointed to the remains of the fallen soldiers in the distance: "What will happen if our fallen soldiers are not buried in time?"

Zhang Zhongjing pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid of a plague."

Plague?! The soldiers below were talking about it with fear. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been plagues everywhere in the Han Dynasty in the past four or five years, especially in the Wancheng area of ​​Zhang Zhongjing's hometown, where nine out of ten rooms are empty. These soldiers may not be afraid of talking about tigers, but when talking about plague, they cannot calm down.

Lu Bu asked again: "Understanding the remains of fallen soldiers in the soil, it is very likely that they will be bitten by wild dogs and rats. Rats are the easiest to spread plague, and the poison on the rotten corpses will seep into the soil, and will be carried into the rivers and into the wells by rain. What do you think will happen?"

Zhang Zhongjing's face changed: "It's very easy to spread the plague. What should you do if you lord?"

"Create these corpses, and only in this way can the toxins on the corpses be eliminated," Lu Bu pointed to the medical camp: "I told you before that you must boil the water before you can drink it, steam the linen cloth and scalpel before you can use it, use strong wine and salt water to scrub the wound, and steam the clothes on the dead before you can use it again. Do you know why?"

Zhang Zhongjing replied: "My lord has said before that there will be toxins on the body immediately after death. If a person is injured, there will also be toxins on the wound. If there are dead bodies in the water, there will also be toxins in the water. These toxins are the source of all diseases and plagues. Only boiling water, strong liquor and salt water can be disinfected, and fire can also be used to destroy poison. Lord, why can't we steam, boil the bodies of the fallen soldiers, disinfect the strong liquor and salt water and then bury them?"

Before the appearance of microscope, it was difficult for Lu Bu to explain to people of this era what bacteria were. He could only use the word toxin, but he did not expect that Zhang Zhongjing had such a strange idea. Lu Bu quickly shook his head: "After a person dies, the dead organs inside the body will continuously excrete toxins, which is why the corpses will rot. It is impossible to remove toxins by disinfecting it once. Can you keep these corpses in the salt pond in the wine jar? Even so, it can only eliminate a poison from the human body. After a person dies, the toxins in the body will continue to flow. Those methods are useless. The best way is to cremate."

Seeing that the soldiers of the Central Army looked disagreeable, Lu Bu asked loudly: "It's a good thing to get into the soil. This is a custom passed down from generation to generation. I agree with it, but what should we do if the toxins on these corpses were brought out by wild dogs and mice? They were taken out by rain and brought into the well water of the river, causing a large plague. What should we do? People die like a lamp extinguishing, and the bones in the soil are worthless. Do we want to keep those bones and let us living people become bones in a short time?!"

When the cremation announced by Lu Bu was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it became much easier to clean the battlefield. All the clothes on the soldiers were stripped off and cremated. Each soldier died in the battalion was put together to cremate the ashes and ashes into the pit, built into a tomb, erected the tombstones, and engraved the names of the soldiers who died in battle for worship for comrades and their descendants.

The corpses of the Central Army soldiers were treated in this way, and the corpses of the Xiliang Army soldiers were treated in this way. The custom of cremation quickly spread to various armies in the Han Dynasty. The army was prevalent in cremation. In order to avoid the outbreak of large-scale plagues, cremation began to prevail.

The popular toxins of Lu Bu were Lu Bu's theory that the Central Military Medical Camp was promoted to Jizhou and Bingzhou, and then slowly spread to the entire Han Dynasty. The Han people gradually accepted a series of practices such as boiling raw water to drink, disinfecting strong liquor and salt water, and burning dirt with fire. In conjunction with famous doctors such as Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, and promoting good prescriptions for preventing and curing plagues throughout the country, the plagues in the Han Dynasty will gradually disappear.

The reason why Lu Bu attached great importance to the control of plague was that in addition to war and famine, the plague was even more terrifying.

In history, there were three major epidemics during the reign of Emperor Huan of Han and five major epidemics during the reign of Emperor Ling. During the reign of Emperor Xian, the epidemic was even worse. Thousands of people were swallowed up by the plague, causing unprecedented disasters of nine out of ten families. Zhang Zhongjing's family was originally a large family with a population of more than 200, but in less than ten years, two-thirds of the people died of epidemics.

Of course, the root cause of the plague is not only about hygiene and abandoning corpses at will, but also about war and famine. Only when the world is unified, the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace, and if they are more concerned about hygiene and epidemic prevention, the plague can be completely cut off. If they are more concerned about hygiene and epidemic prevention, the world will be in turmoil and uneasy, and people will often starve to death, then the plague will appear from time to time, consuming the vitality of the Han Dynasty.

Based on this consideration, Lu Bu wanted to use his own efforts to rectify and unify the chaotic Han world in the shortest time. It was not only the poor warlords like Dong Zhuo, but also the princes of aristocratic families, including Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai and other princes. If Lu Bu wants to eliminate the rule of the aristocratic families in the shortest time, he must win over all the forces that can be won over and deal with the aristocratic families together.

Lu Bu did not beat Dong Zhuo to death with just one stick, because of such foresight.

Lu Bu presided over the cremation ceremony and prepared to lead 20,000 elite cavalry back to Yecheng overnight.

Lu Bu was packing his things while he walked over softly and hugged Lu Bu from behind: "Husband, are you going back to Yecheng to quell the rebellion?!"

Seeing that she guessed it, Lu Bu nodded without hiding it, "Yes."

Zou Qing said coquettishly: "Husband, why don't you take me back?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "This time I returned to the army to suppress the rebellion. It is easy to avoid hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent it. I am enough to protect myself. I am afraid of implicating you if I take you!"

However, Zou Qing kept hugging Lu Bu's tiger waist: "Husband, I must go with you! When you go back this time, the risk is unpredictable. Even if you die, I will die with you."

Lu Bu pushed Zou Qing down and slapped her fat big butt a few times: "Don't say such despairing words!"

Zou Qing's tears fell, and she looked very pitiful: "Husband, you must take me away! I don't want to stay in a place without you!"

Lu Bu couldn't stand the woman's tears, so he looked at Zou Qing carefully, feeling something was wrong, and then looked at his military uniform, and realized the difference. He stretched out his magic clutch and stroked Zou Qing's huge breasts: "You can dress up as a guard and follow me, but you are so full in front of you that you can't hide it."

Zou Qing took out a long piece of white silk, took off her clothes, wrapped them hard, and put them on her clothes. She became fatter and bigger, but her chest was flat.

Lu Bu nodded with a smile: "It's so good, can you ride a horse?"

Zou Qing nodded: "I have a horse training ground and a horse racing track in my family. I have practiced riding horses."

"Have you practiced riding a horse?" Lu Bu shook his head: "This time we go back to Yecheng, one day and one night, and people stay away from the saddle. If you can't bear the hardship, you'd better take a carriage back."

Zou Qing had beautiful eyes and looked forward to her, but her attitude was very firm: "Husband, I must go back with you this time!"

Lu Bu said helplessly: "Then you put more cloth under it, I'm worried that your thighs will be worn."

Lu Bu gave his usual outfit to his personal guards, changed into the armor and battle robe of ordinary generals, wrapped the red rabbit horse in black linen, disguised it, and then prepared to lead his troops to Yecheng.

Dian Wei informed outside the door: "Pingyuan Prime Minister Cao Cao, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Chen State Prime Minister Sun Jian, and Pingyuan County Magistrate Liu Bei asked for a visit!"

Lu Bu wanted to refuse, but when he saw the four of them coming together, he suspected that something big was going on, so he had to postpone the uprising: "Let them come in!"

After Lu Bu defeated Dong Zhuo, in the minds of the princes of Guandong, he suddenly became Xiang Yu, who had defeated the Qin army in Julu. Lu Bu sat in the central army tent. Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others respectfully entered the central army tent, and they did not dare to breathe.

Lu Bu asked with a serious look on his face: "It's almost evening. If you don't go to rest, why are you looking for me?"

Cao Cao bowed and said, "The four of us said goodbye to Mr. Wen."

Lu Bu was shocked: "Even you want to retreat, wouldn't it be the only thing left to be our Central Army fighting alone?"

Bao Xin sighed and said, "Mr. Wen, why don't we continue to follow Mars Wen to attack Luoyang and eliminate the Dong thief. However, the other princes returned to the territory of the territory, but we did not go back. When the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and Yanzhou saw that there was no chief official in our territory of the territory of the territory of the territory of the territory of the territory of the province, they plundered wantonly. We should not lose the foundation in order to challenge Dong. Please forgive me!"

Lu Bu smiled tolerantly and said, "I can fully understand. In fact, I will attack Hulao Pass for a few more days. If I can't break through, I want to withdraw my troops."

Cao Cao and others bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your understanding."

Lu Bu looked at the short and chubby Cao Cao, the turtle and majestic Sun Jian, and Liu Bei with a sissy face as if he was as beautiful as a crown and a jade lips. Suddenly, an extremely attractive thought that could not be suppressed flashed into his mind. Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei were all the initiators of the Three Kingdoms. If he killed the three of them now, he would really meet his ambitions. After Lu Bu, there would be no Three Kingdoms.

This idea was extremely tempting, making Lu Bu's heart thump. Should he take action? Should he take action?!
