Chapter Twenty-Nine: I'm Here to Die

Hongling's urgent envoy went straight to Chang'an with a six-hundred-mile express report.

Xiao Zheng also led nearly two or three hundred of his men to Changsha, and traveled day and night along the way. As he walked, he taught him how to prevent smallpox on the boat, and he also told these medical officers unreservedly.

Time was pressing, and Xiao Zheng planted the remaining cowpox powder on the arm of the gentleman who followed him.

When he saw Zhang Wenjun, the Taishou of Changsha, he had already blocked all the passes in Shaozhou north according to Xiao Zheng's instructions, and when he asked if there was no epidemic under Changsha, Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, this epidemic started from Gaozhou first, and then spread to Shaozhou, and the villain didn't dare to slack off after getting the news at the beginning, and immediately flew to report to the adult," Zhang Wenjun said with a salute to Xiao Zheng.

"Well done!" Xiao Zheng patted Zhang Wenjun's shoulder and said.

I sent all the gentlemen who came over, strengthened inspections at various passes, and found that the symptoms of high fever were investigated according to the method I said, and five days later, these gentlemen came back and said that there was indeed no epidemic, which made Xiao Zheng's heart relax slightly.

"If there is no emergency, it is strictly forbidden for everyone to move around at will, and it is not possible to move between villages, Changsha City uses slaked lime water for sprinkling, and the teahouses and liquor shops where the population is easy to gather are closed first, and once a high fever is found, it is immediately reported to ......"

Xiao Zheng did not believe that the experience summed up by hundreds of millions of working people with their blood and lives in later generations would not work.

After waiting for this, Xiao Zheng asked Zhang Wenjun and said, "How is the situation in Shaozhou?" ”

Zhang Wenjun was stunned and said: "After the epidemic started, Shaozhou has become a dead city, and no one dares to approach."

"Then let's go and see, if it's really a sore, I'm not afraid, I'm worried about whether it's another disease."

"But, my lord, that is the territory of Feng An, the Duke of Yueguo, he has not been in contact with my Datang for many years, in case he has a disobedient heart, my lord ......" Zhang Wenjun said with some worry.

Knowing that Feng Ang is the grandson of Gao Liang's Taishou Feng Bao and Mrs. Xian of the State of Chen, he led the army to defeat the rebels many times when he was young, and successively quelled the rebellions in five states such as Chaozhou and Chengzhou. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Feng Ang returned to Lingnan to gather tens of thousands of people to serve as his own leader, occupying the lands of Guangzhou, Cangwu, and Zhuya, but this guy governed the land well, and within a few years of making the situation in Lingnan stable and socially tranquil.

After Feng Ang returned to the Tang Dynasty in the fifth year of Wude, he was named the Duke of Yue by Li Yuan, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he did not go to the court, and He Zhenguan did not enter the court for a long time since the first year. At that time, Li Shimin planned to levy soldiers and horses from dozens of states in Jiang and Ling, and launched a large-scale crusade. Wei Zheng thought that the Central Plains had just been pacified, and there was a miasma plague on the far road to Lingnan, so it was not suitable to mobilize the people to persuade him.

understands what Zhang Wenjun means, the current Lingnan is Feng An's home world. He was also worried that if there was a mistake after Xiao Zheng went, he, a little Changsha Taishou, would not be able to bear this responsibility.

Xiao Zheng said to Zhang Wenjun: "If Feng Ang rebels, he will definitely divide his troops to occupy dangerous places and attack neighboring states and counties. Now that he has been rebelling for a few years, this guy occupies the Meiling Ancient Road and does not even have a single soldier, which obviously shows no signs of finding trouble, don't worry, I will meet him, even if there is really a case, you don't have to worry, there are so many people behind, which one is not bigger than you."

"My lord, it's good for you to go and see him, according to the news that after the epidemic broke out in Shaozhou, he hurried to Nanxiong Pass, which is closer to us."

"That's good, get ready to go!".

Xiao Zheng selected eight strong gentlemen, and took the Xuanjia army to escort the guards and went straight to Nanxiong Pass, the further south Xiao Zheng found that the villages and towns he passed by became more and more depressed, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

Three days later, when he arrived at Nanxiong Pass, Zheng Xuanli arrived at the pass, shouted a few times at the top, and waited for the time of the two pillars of incense, this guy ran back and said: "My lord, the people above have passed the word, saying that they will let you go up alone first, you can see ......"

"Then I'll go, and I'll wait down there."

When I got to the gate, I saw a bamboo basket coming down with a rope on the city wall, Xiao Zheng patted the basket and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has a relationship with this thing."

When he arrived at the city wall, he saw seven or eight soldiers pointing knives and guns at him, and when he searched his body, Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Everyone, I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I don't have an inch of iron on my body, hurry up and lead me to see your Yue Gong."

was led to the front of the mansion, and before he entered the door, he saw the men with knives and armor on both sides of the door lining up all the way to the lobby, and Xiao Zheng wanted to laugh.

When I entered the lobby, I saw a pearl mat spread on the couch in the middle, and a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting on it, this person was tall, but his skin was a little dark, and he should be Feng Ang looking imposing.

Before Xiao Zheng could speak after seeing him, Feng Ang suddenly got up and went to Xiao Zheng to speak first: "I know that you are Xiao Zheng, you took the lead in provoking the incident of Xuanwumen to trap Prince Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and then you paid the Turkic camp alone and said that you would retreat with your own three-inch tongue, what, did you take advantage of the fire to rob today and prepare to say that Lao Tzu would be surrendered?" ”

"I said Lao Feng, why do you always treat others with yourself, you know that Lao Tzu is here to persuade you to surrender?"

"I asked you to call me King Yue! On what basis are you qualified to call me Lao Feng? Feng Ang said viciously.

"You are also the Duke of the Kingdom, Lao Tzu is also the Duke of the Kingdom, what do you want me to call you under the same level?".

"I asked you to call Lao Tzu Yue Wang! You dare to come here and die," after speaking, the guy pulled out the knife on his waist and pointed at Xiao Zheng angrily.

"Okay, that's okay, King Yue, I'm here to die," Xiao Zheng stroked his forehead and said.

"Since you are still sent to death, then I will fulfill you, give you a whole corpse, and come to ......" Feng Ang shouted at both sides, hula surrounded a dozen soldiers.

"Can you fucking listen to Lao Tzu finish his words before you do it, there is a way to send death"

"You're a dead person anyway, you say!".

"That's the case, I know that you have a sores in Shaozhou, and you must have heard of my medical skills, I want to take someone into the city to have a look, how about it? Give it a convenience? Maybe I'll find a cure for the sores."

"What do you say, you want to bring people into Shaozhou City?" Feng An's face distorted, and he grabbed Xiao Zheng's collar and asked.

"Are you deaf? Tell me again for you? ”。

I saw Feng An's face excitedly revolving around Xiao Zheng several times before he said: "If you really dare to enter this Shaozhou City, don't say that you can't cure this plague, if you kid can stay in the city for a day and come back alive, Lao Tzu will immediately pay tribute to Li Shimin."

"Don't talk about anything else, I'll write you a list, this is the medicinal materials and materials to be used in the city, hang all the 20 or so people under the city, they will enter the city with me, you won't worry about these 20 people taking down your Nanxiong Pass, right?"

"I'm ....., if Lao Tzu hadn't seen you enter Shaozhou City, I would have split you!"

Early the next morning, Feng Ang took Xiao Zheng to more than a dozen carriages and said, "I'll prepare the things, and the rest will be up to you."

After walking for a long time, Shaozhou City was already faintly visible.

"King Yue, you will send it here, remember, no one can come close to the city within three miles, what supplies we need are written on the board one mile ahead, you send people can not move a single grass or tree, the person who comes back must soak the whole body with lime water, and my bottle of disinfectant, put it in a wooden barrel for two dollars each time, let the messenger soak it regularly, and I will write it for you."

After speaking, he turned his head and said to Xuanjia Jun and the gentleman who brought him: "Are you afraid, if you are afraid, it is too late to withdraw now, I Xiao Mou will not resent everyone."

"I'll follow you to the death!" Not a single one flinched.

"Not bad! Get ready to go into town! ”

When he was about to leave, Xiao Zheng looked at Feng Ang and asked with a smile, "King Yue, let me ask you a question?" ”。

"Speak!"

"Wouldn't it make you have a blue nose and swollen face if you made a cushion out of so many pearls and put it under your buttocks?"

"Get out!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, Lao Tzu has entered the city."

Watching Xiao Zheng and more than 20 people enter Shaozhou City from a distance, Feng Ang suddenly had tears in his eyes, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Everyone listen to the order, kneel!" ”

Thousands of Lingnan soldiers knelt down in the direction that Xiao Zheng had walked away.
