Everything is bright for the people of the Mauryan Dynasty. The cavalry of the Qin and the Huns were like their saviors, and they were about to take them to another level.

But with this war and the inevitable displacement and tragic deaths brought by the war, not only were the things of light. When a ship from the distant Qin landed on the coastline of the Mauryan Dynasty, some troubles had quietly come, but this trouble could not be seen and judged with the naked eye until it erupted.

It has been more than three months since Ying Gao began to send officials to the Mauryan Dynasty. In these months, Lu Jia has arrived in Huashi City and is in charge of the territory shared by Meng Tian, ​​Peng Yue, Sima Xin and others.

After Xiang Yu left Xianyang City, he directly brought most of his elite troops to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. After Xiang Yu arrived, Long Qi also joined forces with Xiang Yu from the city of Hua and the territory they had allocated.

Under such circumstances, the Qin cavalry at the junction of Seleu and the Xiongnu cavalry were also withdrawn, and they were replaced by the cavalry of the Xiongnu. Of course, this was basically no different for the Seleu Dynasty. According to their ideas, as long as these people do not attack their territory, they can do whatever they want!

Many matters of the Mauryan Dynasty were carried out very steadily under the coordination of Lu Jia. In the order from near to far away from Fahrenheit, the officials of the Qin Dynasty moved into the city of the Mauryan Dynasty one by one.

Because of the good publicity work in the previous period, and after each city, Lu Jia forced himself to be accompanied by scholars who knew some of the languages ​​of the Mauryan Dynasty, the people of the Mauryan Dynasty were still very welcome to the arrival of the Qin people.

After the governance of the officials brought with them, many of the high caste people in the Mauryan Dynasty who had previously been domineering because no one was in charge of them were killed by the people of the Qin Dynasty.

It didn't take long for these people who were originally enjoying almost the best things in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty were either sent to prison by the managers from the Qin Dynasty, or honestly became the most ordinary people under the management of the Qin Dynasty, and there was no third option left to them.

According to the terrain of the Mauryan Dynasty, Lu Jia naturally advanced little by little from the northeast to the south. In less than two months, he firmly controlled half of the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

According to Lu Jia's original prediction, although the journey became more and more distant and the fact that the Qin soldiers had no knowledge of the places near the sea before, the process would be greatly slowed down, it was not a dream to control the territory of these Mauryan dynasty within half a year.

But a big trouble finally came to more places in the Mauryan Dynasty after hiding for several months without being discovered.

On this day, Lu Jia was planning a city in the Mauryan Dynasty, and suddenly an official who had been sent by him to a southernmost city that they could control now sent him an expedited letter.

According to the official's letter, there were a large number of refugees rushing towards the city where he was. At first, he thought these people came to join because they heard that Daqin came to manage their city. However, after asking his subordinates to inquire carefully, they found that this was not the case.

These people ran to the city where they were, because of fear. This fear was not something else, but started from the beach of the Mauryan Dynasty. For some reason, a strange disease broke out. People with this disease started with vomiting and diarrhea at the beginning, which was not much different from ordinary people's stomachs that were damaged by eating. But the terrifying thing was that at most three days, all of these people died.

At first, people from the Mauryan Dynasty were not too worried. Such epidemics had not been spread on this land before, but after more than ten days, the lives of some people with poor resistance were almost done.

But this time it was different. It has been more than a month. Not only did there be no sign of weakening, but it caused seven or eight out of ten people in some villages of the Mauryan Dynasty to die. This is really not an ordinary disease.

Moreover, this time the disease not only spreads in a certain city, but also spreads from several directions to the land along the seaside over time.

As this spread, the people of the Mauryan Dynasty panicked. The monarchs who influenced their dynasty had been killed or arrested. Naturally, they could not wait to die foolishly on their own territory.

At this time, many people of the Mauryan Dynasty already knew that in the city near the city of Huafa, the Great Qin, which occupied the Mauryan Dynasty, had begun to send officials to the city to manage them, so many people were afraid that their expectations would be placed on the officials of the Great Qin. They felt that since the Great Qin was so powerful, they must have very reliable doctors, so they had hope in the city under the management of the Great Qin.

The officials who were not sure of this put these people into the city, but when he found out what was going on, his head suddenly became big, because after these people entered the city, two people had already started to vomit and have diarrhea.

The officials of the Qin Dynasty have read a lot of books. Of course, they know that this is very likely to be a large-scale infectious disease, but these people have already flocked into the city and driving them out can bring about greater chaos and will not play any role.

Fortunately, when the Qin Dynasty sent officials to the Mauryan Dynasty, Ying Gao considered that the Mauryan Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty had completely different climates and had to pass through the Western Regions where conditions were very harsh on the way, so he equipped them with dozens of doctors from Xianyang City of the Qin Dynasty. It can be said that he was proficient within the scope of the Qin Dynasty.

After arriving in Fahrenheit City, Lu Jia, in addition to leaving more than ten of the most skilled people in Fahrenheit City and Meng Tian's army, basically allocated all other doctors to various larger cities. There happened to be one of the cities that poured into a large number of people in the Mauryan Dynasty.

But after the doctor anxiously saw the sick people of the Mauryan Dynasty, there was no good solution, and he asked him to order these people to isolate them as soon as possible.

The official, who realized that the problem might be very serious, did two things without saying a word. One was to block the city gate, and he would not go in or out. The other was to send a confidant to hand over the letters he had abbreviated to Lu Jia in the Huafa City.

After Lu Jia read this letter, cold sweat almost suddenly appeared. He thought of many problems he might encounter in the Mauryan Dynasty, but he did not think of this problem.

The climate of the Mauryan Dynasty was much more humid and hot than that of the Qin Dynasty, which made the disease more capable of spreading rapidly. After receiving this notice, Lu Jia immediately summoned Meng Tian, ​​Peng Yue, Sima Xin and several major generals sent by Ying Gao to his side.

After a brief discussion, Lu Jia ordered the officials of the Qin Dynasty to temporarily stop expanding in the Mauryan Dynasty, especially the cities relatively close to the seaside to block the city gates and cannot go out or enter. Even if someone in that city had a sickness, the people in the city could not be released.

In other words, Lu Jia decided to rather die the entire city than to prevent them from passing this disease into other cities in the Mauryan Dynasty.

At the same time, Lu Jia wrote a letter and sent someone to send a horse to Ying Gao within half a month. It was almost impossible to complete from Huafa City to Xianyang in half a month, but with Lu Jia's order, the knights of the Qin Dynasty could really live up to expectations. After almost a few of the fastest horses died, they finally delivered the letter to Ying Gao within half a month.

This was the most relaxing few days since Ying Gao attacked the Mauryan Dynasty. With his intense occupation of the Mauryan Dynasty, his son was nearly one year old. The little guy was talking to the scholars and could also walk staggeringly. This made Ying Gao sigh at the magical aspects of life.

When he received this letter, Ying Gaoyi, who was enjoying the reunion with his son, Feng Qing and Tian Yan, knew that this would definitely not be good news when he heard about the status of the sender.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the letter, Ying Gao knew that Lu Jia was in big trouble in the Mauryan Dynasty.

Because Lu Jia informed Ying Gao in detail about the condition of the person who had been sick this time from illness to death, Ying Gao almost thought of two words that he often saw when studying history in later generations: plague.

Moreover, Ying Gao was almost certain that the plague must have been brought by him because of the sending troops from the Mauryan Dynasty. The rats from the Qin Dynasty waited onto the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty through warships or food and supplies, and then spread to the people of the Mauryan Dynasty through fleas.

Because this virus did not exist on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty before, the people of the Mauryan Dynasty did not have antibodies to this virus. Under such circumstances, they naturally became sick and died.

Although I knew what was going on, the thing that made Ying Gao’s headache was still behind, because whether it was plague or other plagues, the transmission methods were similar, and there were more than one type of flea bites, contact with the sick person, or food, all are the sources of epidemic infection. To put it bluntly, even if you know what was going on, this thing will still make you unable to guard against.

Although Ying Gao did not study world history, he knew that the most terrifying moment in Europe was the Black Death in the 14th century, and the Black Death was another saying of the plague.

Although it is still so far away from the Mauryan Dynasty, Ying Gao's hands have already trembled unconsciously. This is a disease that may sweep across the continental plate once it spreads. Once it really spreads, even the Qin Dynasty cannot be spared.

Ying Gao looked at Lu Jia's letter alone, and no one noticed that his forehead was wet with sweat in an instant. This kind of nervousness was something Ying Gao had never experienced since he arrived here.

It was not because Ying Gao was afraid of death, but because this plague was most likely because he launched a war to the Mauryan Dynasty. If this really caused the death of millions or even tens of millions of people like those notorious plagues in his previous life, the final sin would fall on him.

History books will not deceive people. Ying Gao could almost imagine that children in later generations would call themselves a foolish and cruel monarch, conquering the Mauryan Dynasty for their own selfish interests, and then bringing the plague into this territory, causing great disasters for others...

Thinking of this, Ying Gao secretly warned himself in his heart that he must come up with a way to minimize the losses of the Mauryan Dynasty this time. At least the people of the Mauryan Dynasty did not know that this strange disease was spread because he sent troops to attack the Mauryan Dynasty. Moreover, if he could have a way to minimize the losses this time, it would be a good opportunity for him to establish his authority on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. Of course, the original intention was to die fewer people.

Ying Gao searched very hard in his mind about the records of plague in the history I had read in his previous life. Gradually, stories or facts appeared in his mind. He searched for things that might be useful to him in the fragmented information, and then wrote them down directly, as a reply to Lu Jia.

It is definitely impossible for him to go to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty in person to see what was going on, so this matter can only be based on Lu Jia's on-site command and dispatch ability in the Mauryan Dynasty.

Ying Gao did not tell anyone about this, Han Xin, Xiao He, and Meng Yi didn't know anything about it. That night, the guards holding Ying Gao's hurry reply made a hurry and set off. He wanted to send the letter back to Lu Jia as quickly as possible again.

After a while, more than a month had passed. During this month, although the officials of the Mauryan Dynasty did not allow unidentified people to enter their city according to Lu Jia's previous orders, their condition still spread a little.

More than a thousand people died in the city where he first discovered his illness. In addition, two or three cities near the city also discovered this situation one after another. Although the speed was not very fast, according to Lu Jia's opinion, if there was no perfect way to restrain the matter, it would be a matter of time to spread it to Fahrenheit City. And just when he was at a loss, Ying Gao's letter arrived.
