Lu Xuan was anxious and made a decision in a blink of an eye.
He turned his eyes and looked at Jia Xu and Fazheng on the side, and ordered: "Wenhe and Xiaozhi, you return to Shu County as planned. Wenhe, you are responsible for contacting Zhang Zhao and preparing to move the capital. This king I need to go to Yanzhou in person to resolve Gong Jin’s condition.”
"I object!"
Jia Xu spoke loudly.
He stood up in a rare moment, with an extremely serious look on his face, saluted Lu Xuan solemnly, and said, "The Governor of Zhou is infected with wind and cold. It is almost certain that he is infected with an epidemic."
"Once you contract the disease, you will most likely die. The most terrifying thing is that the disease is contagious. There is also no way to save someone from the same disease."
"In the face of natural disasters, human lives are like a piece of grass."
"I have seen people infected with the disease die in miserable and horrifying ways."
"It's not that I want to stop the king from saving Governor Zhou, and it's not that I think Governor Zhou deserves to die. It's that in the face of such an epidemic, personal power is very little, and I can only rely on Governor Zhou to fight on his own."
Jia Xu said: "To treat the governor of Zhou, Zhang Zhongjing, the miraculous doctor, is enough. The king's personal visit is superfluous, unnecessary and more likely to be self-defeating. What should we do if the king also contracts the disease?"
At this moment, Jia Xu was more serious than ever.
He never gave such advice.
Lu Xuan likes adventure, likes to go to the front line to command, and likes to go to the battlefield to charge. In Jia Xu's opinion, these things have certain risks, but they have both advantages and disadvantages. Because the Lord personally rushes into battle, he can boost morale to the maximum extent and inspire soldiers to fight to the death.
However, epidemics are different.
This kind of disease is very evil and cannot be solved by charging into battle or relying on tactics.
Jia Xu glanced at Fazheng and cast a look, hoping that Fazheng would also stand up and object.
Fazheng was also aware of the dangers of the epidemic. When Jia Xu had just looked over, he had already stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also object to your going to Yanzhou in person. I know a little about the situation of the governor of Zhou Dynasty."
"The Governor and I have a close relationship since we were young. We are not only monarchs and ministers, but also close friends who have known each other for many years. Therefore, I understand the anxiety in the king's heart."
"But the king is different."
"As the leader of a country, you are responsible for the safety of countless people in the Kingdom of Wu. When the king is here, the country of Wu is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If the king has three advantages and two disadvantages, the country of Wu will be in turmoil, and thousands of people will be in trouble, and even their families will be destroyed."
Fa Zheng looked like he had no hesitation and said: "If the king has any arrangements for the governor, or if you have any ideas, you can tell me. I am willing to personally visit you as the king's special envoy and arrange for treatment."
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tai also understood that what Jia Xu and Fazheng said was right.
He hoped to save Zhou Yu.
After following Zhou Yu for these years, he and Zhou Yu had a very good relationship, but Zhou Tai knew that the epidemic was about to spread.
Once Lu Xuan has a problem, he will be in trouble.
Zhou Tai said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the suggestions of the two gentlemen. If you have any ideas or arrangements, let me know. I will return to Yanzhou immediately and arrange for people to implement them."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said stubbornly: "It is related to Gongjin's safety. I must go in person."
"Your Majesty!"
Jia Xu shouted loudly again.
He lifted up his robe, knelt directly on the ground, looked at Lu Xuan with his neck raised, and said, "Why is the king so stubborn? Governor Zhou must make arrangements for treatment."
"But you can't go in person."
"Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were defeated by the king, they are very powerful. Once the king has three advantages and two disadvantages, it will be a disaster for the Wu Kingdom, and it will be a God-given opportunity for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao."
"I dare to conclude that they will definitely attack southward at all costs to seize more benefits and regain the lost disadvantage."
"The overall strength of the Wu Kingdom is strong, but all this is based on the premise that the king is safe and sound. If anything goes wrong with the king, the country of Wu will be in danger. Please be aware of this."
Jia Xu kowtowed to the ground with his head.
Fazheng also knelt down and saluted solemnly: "Your Majesty, please think again."
Zhou Tai also knelt down.
Without exception, they all opposed Lu Xuan going to Yanzhou. Especially Jia Xu, who is the oldest, has encountered epidemics and knows how terrible they are.
Just so, he was even more worried.
Lu Xuan looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and was quite moved. Everything the three people did was for his safety. Lu Xuan looked gentle and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up. I can understand your thoughts."
Jia Xu and Fazheng looked at each other.
Both of them were a little desperate, but Lu Xuan still wanted to go.
Lu Xuan continued: "The epidemic may seem scary, but as long as we prevent it and prepare in advance, it won't be a big threat. I have my own rules for this, so you don't need to worry too much."
"In addition, Gong Jin is my king's subordinate and my friend. His condition is very likely to be difficult to treat even by Divine Doctor Zhang. Because the condition is very complicated and cannot be treated by ordinary drugs."
"I will go there in person."
"Actually, both Gong Jin and any of you are my king's confidants and my indispensable ministers. If you get sick, I will take care of it myself."
Lu Xuan's face became firmer and he said, "So this time Gong Jin is ill, and I must go there in person."
Fazheng knew that he could not persuade him, so he raised his neck and said, "My lord, I am willing to go with the king."
Jia Xu said: "I am also willing to go."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
If Lu Xuan wanted to go, they were all willing to go with him. Especially Lu Xuan said that if they get sick, they will not give up and will personally deal with it. The king has achieved this, what else do they want?
The only way to repay it is as a national soldier!
Lu Xuan smiled, nodded, and ordered: "Everyone, get up. The ground is cold, so stop kneeling."
Jia Xu, Fazheng and Zhou Tai all stood up.
Lu Xuan looked serious and said: "We are going to Yanzhou this time. Since everyone is willing to go, Xiaozhi will accompany me. After all, you are young and strong. Wenhe is here, and you can take the people back to Shu County."
Jia Xu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, although I am old, I am still in good health."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "You have to be subdued when you are old, and be careful not to make big mistakes. In addition, you still have a mission. After you return to Shu County, contact Zhang Zhao and further prepare for the capital move in advance."
"In addition, the two newly acquired concubines of this king, Cai Yan and Cao Jie, you take back to Shu County. In addition, Wu Ran, who is currently arranged in Chengdu, also needs to be brought back together. Please arrange it with Da Qiao It’s appropriate.”
"Old minister, I obey!"
Jia Xu nodded solemnly.
Lu Xuan arranged various matters, called Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others, and explained the next arrangements, asking Gan Ning to lead the army to stay at Ziwu Road to prepare for next year's war.
Lu Xuan met with Cai Yan and Cao Jie again and told them that Zhou Yu was ill and wanted to go to Yanzhou in person. Finally, he discussed the arrangements for the two women. After everything was arranged, Lu Xuan, Zhou Tai, Xu Chu and Fazheng, hurriedly left the military camp, took a boat at the Han River ferry, took the Han River eastward into Jingzhou, and then went north to Yanzhou.
