The encounter of Yuan's uncle and nephew made all the princes who had conflicts with Liu Yuan nervous, and Liu Yuan's hand can be described as the bottom of the kettle.

A large part of the determining factor of the strength of a power lies in its population.

Once the population loss of this power is too large, then this power is not far from extinction.

Now the territory of Yuan's uncle and nephew is ten rooms and nine empty by Liu Yuan's hand.

This makes it extremely difficult for them to replenish their troops again, and their forces will be rapidly reduced in the event of a war.

This is only one aspect, on the other hand, the population under the rule is too small, which greatly affects the agricultural production of Yangzhou and Yuzhou.

At this time, in Yangzhou and Yuzhou, large tracts of land were deserted.

Even if there were crops in some places before, because there was no one to manage them, all the crops in the fields have dried up and died.

Once this situation continues to deteriorate, after the autumn passes and the winter begins, Yangzhou and Yuzhou will fall into a food shortage.

At that time, there was no need for Liu Yuan to send troops, and Yangzhou and Yuzhou would even collapse without a fight, and such a serious consequence made those princes shudder when they thought of it.

In order to prevent Liu Yuan from coming to this hand with them, they sent their most effective troops one after another, and laid a heavy defensive line at the junction between their own side and Jizhou.

However, what they were worried about never appeared, because Liu Yuan at this time did not have the energy to deal with them at all, and Liu Yuan really wanted to repeat the old tricks of these princes.

Especially for Liu Bei and Cao Cao, he had even formed all the men and horses under him, and just when he was about to send them out, a big incident suddenly happened.

It was this incident that made Liu Yuan have to stop continuing, and Xi Zhong, one of his most relied on military advisors, suddenly fell ill.

Although Xi Zhong has been constantly conditioned by Liu Yuan over the years, his body seems to have recovered a lot, and he usually feels powerless to deal with political affairs.

But one morning, when the maid who served Xi Zhong pushed open the door and was about to go to help Xi Zhong wash, she suddenly found that their master was unconscious.

At that time, the maid was frightened, and a scream resounded throughout the theater, and even Guo Jia, who lived in the mansion next to him, was alarmed.

When Guo Jia, Liu Yuan and others rushed to Xizhong's mansion together, all the famous doctors in the city had been invited to Xizhong's mansion by Xizhong's housekeeper.

But even if these doctors tried all their means, they couldn't alleviate Xi Zhong's condition at all, and it wasn't until Liu Yuan's arrival that Xi Zhong was pulled back from the death line.

But at this time, Xi Zhong is only slightly relieved, and there is still a long way to go before he wakes up, let alone healed!

It was also the first time for Liu Yuan to encounter such a problem in medical skills

Before, with the help of his internal system, no matter what complicated the condition, as long as he took action, it would definitely be solved.

But this time, Xi Zhong's illness made Liu Yuan's internal system helpless.

At first, this was very incomprehensible to Liu Yuan, but it was not until after talking to the system that he understood the reason.

It turned out that Xi Zhong's illness was not because of his injury, but because he was congenitally deficient and did not pay attention to it the day after tomorrow, and it was not until he met Liu Yuan that he was a little more restrained in his private life.

However, the situation between him and Guo Jia is not the same, Guo Jia can be said to have lived with Liu Yuan since he was a child, so he has not been contaminated with many historical vices at all.

For example, in history, Guo Jia had a record of taking cold food powder for a long time, but Guo Jia in this life has never touched such a thing as cold food powder because of Liu Yuan's intervention.

In addition, Liu Yuan took action when he was very young and began to regulate his body for him.

So even if Guo Jia's body is congenitally worse than Xi Zhong, he has already been conditioned by Liu Yuan!

But when Xi Zhong met Liu Yuan, he was already over twenty years old, and at that time his body was already suffering from illness and was about to reach its limit.

If he hadn't met Liu Yuan, maybe he would have died a few years ago, and Liu Yuan would have done his best to support him until now.

And the system in Liu Yuan's body is a system for war, no matter how seriously injured he is in battle, it is trivial for Liu Yuan to have the help of the system.

Coupled with the attribute of qi and blood value in Liu Yuan's body, Liu Yuan also has a very high cure rate for blood diseases.

However, every time he cures a blood-type disease, Liu Yuan must complete a task.

In a situation like Xi Zhong, the system is powerless.

This is equivalent to directly announcing Xi Zhong's death, unless Liu Yuan can find a stronger healer than him in time.

But looking at the entire Han Dynasty, there are only Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji who have higher attainments in medical skills than him, and Zhang Ji is still easy to find.

At this time, this person is in Changsha, as long as Liu Yuan sends someone to Changsha to invite him over, but Xi Zhong's physical condition can't resist for so long!

When the people sent to invite Zhang Ji from Changsha, it is estimated that Xi Zhong's body is already cold, so even if they know Zhang Ji's whereabouts now, it is better not to know!

As for Hua Tuo, it is even more difficult to find, Hua Tuo does not have a general range of activities like Zhang Ji, but he keeps wandering around the entire land of the Han Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, where there is a major illness or epidemic, Hua Tuo will definitely appear nearby, as long as you can find the area where the epidemic is occurring, you should be able to find Hua Tuo.

But this time, God doesn't seem to be ready to continue to stand on Liu Yuan's side.

For so many years, Dahan has had more or less some epidemics every year, and this situation has lasted for more than ten years.

But just this year, the whole Han was like a strong man, and suddenly recovered his health, and there was no natural disaster for most of the year.

In the past, there were many man-made disasters in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, but man-made disasters were not epidemics, so how could Hua Tuo appear in that kind of place.

What makes Liu Yuan even more anxious is that now Xi Zhong's life can last for about three days at most, if they can't find Hua Tuo or Zhang Ji within three days, then Xi Zhong will definitely die.

Xi Zhong's matter was enough to give Liu Yuan a headache, but he didn't expect it to happen next, and it made him even more at a loss!

The son he and Huang Wudie had just given birth to had an accident at this time.

Huang Wudie was seriously injured because of defending Yecheng before, but under Liu Yuan's treatment, she and the child in her womb were finally saved, which made the Liu family and the Huang family extremely happy.

Everyone thought that this matter was over, but just now, when Huang Zhong heard the news that Xi Zhong was sick, he accidentally knocked over the crib on the side.

The grandson, who had been carefully cared for, was also thrown to the ground because of this.
