After Lu Mingyue's army was defeated, his brother, 3,000 people from Lu Xingxing's army, was also raided by the Sui army in the north of Huairong County, and the whole army was annihilated, and Lu Xingxing was killed by the Sui army's random arrows in the Sanggan water.

The battle situation in Shanggu County was not over half a month late, Li Jing led the 10,000 troops to block the way down the mountain from three directions, and half a month later, Wang Basu's troops were cut off from food, and he had no choice but to order the surrender of the Sui army, but at this time, there was internal strife within the chaotic army, Wang Basu and Song Jingang had a dispute, Song Jingang drew his sword and killed Wang Basu, and led dozens of henchmen to escape from another cliff path and disappeared.

The rest of the troops became a headless crowd and surrendered one after another, and since then, the two major rebel armies in Youzhou have been exterminated by officers and soldiers.

At the end of March, a million Sui troops arrived on the west bank of the Liao River, and at the same time more than 3 million people arrived, millions of people gathered on the west bank of the Liao River, and the Goryeo army also had more than 10,000 people guarding the terrain on the east bank.

Shaofu Supervisor He Chou and Shaofu Chengyun Dingxing were ordered to build a pontoon bridge over the Liao River, and the army was about to attack.

At this moment, an unexpected disaster quietly befell the Sui army, and fever appeared among the Sui army, which was a symptom of typhoid fever.

The fever first broke out among millions of people, and because there were so many dead people on the road, most of the corpses were not buried, and as the weather warmed, the disease spread by the corpses began to appear.

The fever spread rapidly, more and more people fell, and the epidemic began to appear among the soldiers, and the general of Zuotunwei, Mai Tiecane, was unfortunately infected, and Mai Tiecane was also a general of the Southern Dynasties, about 40 years old this year, with excellent arm strength, extremely good at running, he walked like the wind, ran and galloped horses, and could 'travel 500 miles a day" was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty.

In the big tent, Mai Tie cane lay on the sickbed, starting a high fever, his three sons Meng Cai, Zhong Cai, Ji Cai surrounded them, - people lit moxa to burn the nose, - people sprayed the nose with guati, this is the local method of treating fever, the eldest son Mai Mengcai sent the imperial doctor Wu Jingxian out of the big tent, and asked in a low voice: "How is my father?" ”

Wu Jingxian shook his head and sighed. Angry, Mai Mengcai was shocked, and hurriedly said: "I see that my father can be three mouthfuls, maybe he is strong and can survive this catastrophe." ”

Wu Jingxian smiled bitterly, "He can't get through it, he is physically strong, and he can last ten days, he has just been infected now, and it seems to be fine, but in another five or six days, he will be completely different, and then you will have to isolate him, and you can't touch him, otherwise you will also be infected." ”

Mai Mengcai's eyes turned red, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Really...... Is it cured? ”

Wu Jingxian sighed. Angry, "Last year, Liaodong Doumi was 700 yuan, and I don't know how many people starved to death, and there was an outbreak of epidemic at that time, and the population plummeted to 20%, and now more than 100,000 people have died among the people, and the soldiers are also infected, hey! I don't know how many people will die in the end? ”

Wu Jingxian turned around and left, Mai Mengcai stood in a daze for a long time, and then turned around and went back to the account, at this time, Mai Tiezhu struggled to sit up, panting and asking, "How many days do I have left?" ”

"Father!" Mai Mengcai fell to the ground crying.

Mai Tiezhu shouted: "Don't cry, tell me how many days there are?" ”

"Ten days!"

The three sons began to cry loudly, and the wheat iron rod stared blankly at the outside of the tent, and suddenly - gritted his teeth and said: "It is better to die fighting for the country than to die of illness." ”

Seeing the three sons crying, Mai Tiezhu couldn't help but say hatefully: "What are you crying about, if I die in battle, I will only have wealth and nobility for you, anyway, they are all dead, and the eldest husband should die on the battlefield!" ”

Mai Tiezhu proclaimed himself a striker, and wrote a letter of service to the country, ordering his eldest son to hand it over to the saint after he was killed.

Yang Guang's Liuhemu City was located behind the army, guarded by 300,000 forbidden troops, at this time Yang Guang also heard the news of the outbreak in the army, and even Nayan Yang Da unfortunately contracted the disease and died, -- a month ago, Yang Xiong, the king of Guan, also unfortunately died of illness on the way to Liaodong, and two important ministers of the imperial family died one after another within a month, which made Yang Guang very sad.

Imperial Physician Wu Jingxian reported: "Your Majesty, the epidemic is spreading rapidly, and measures must be taken as soon as possible. ”

"How serious is it now?" Yang Guang asked quietly.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are already people who have fallen ill on the side of the people, and the soldiers are slightly better, but there are also nearly 10,000 people who have been infected, and the ministers have advised the generals to isolate the soldiers immediately if they find that they have a fever, and the dead should also be burned and buried deeply, and all the supplies should be burned."

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Jingxian hesitated again: "The epidemic -- once it breaks out, it will spread rapidly in densely populated places, and now there are millions of people on the west bank of the Liaohe River, and it is difficult to control the epidemic, so it is best to leave here and evacuate the army, otherwise when the summer is hot, the epidemic will break out in a big way, and it will be difficult to control it at that time." ”

"No way!"

Yang Guang categorically vetoed, "Attacking Goryeo is a major policy of the country, how can you give up halfway, you are a good doctor, you should try your best to treat it, whether to withdraw the army or not, is not something you should ask." ”

Wu Jingxian had no choice but to retreat, Yang Guang's eyes flickered, he didn't know what he was thinking, at this time, the eunuch said at the door: "Your Majesty, Heshui Ling Yu has arrived." ”

"Announce him in."

Because his son was suspected of rebelling with the King of Qi, Yu Zhi was demoted to Heshui County Order, this time he was sending grain to Zhuo County, Yang Guang knew about it, and ordered him to follow him to Liaodong.

Yu Zhi stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Heshui County ordered Yu Zhi to see Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Guang heard him emphasize that he was the commander of Heshui County, so he smiled and asked, "How about the Yu County Commander being an official in Heshui County?" ”

"For the party officials, the rule of the people, the ministers are conscientious and conscientious, and they dare not slack off."

Yang Guang looked at him and said, "Lianxuan, you are here to know about the situation in Goryeo, and you tell Lianxuan." ”

"Obey the order!"

Yu Zhen thought about it and said: "The Goryeo Kingdom was originally built by Zhu Meng, the son of the prince of Fuyu, and the royal family of Fengshang was the ancestral god, and in the second year of the Yuan Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhu Meng failed to fight for power in the country and fled south to the ...... of the country", where the Fu Yu was built, and the Han Dynasty was built in the third year of the Han Dynasty in the ...... of the Han Dynasty, "Goguryeo County was built, and the Fu Yu was renamed the Goguryeo Kingdom, and the Central Plains Imperial Court - called the Goguryeo Kingdom, in the first year of the emperor, the Great Sui was established, and the Goguryeo King Gaotang was attached to the table, and the first emperor was named the king of Goryeo, Therefore, from the first year of the emperor's reign, Goguryeo was renamed Goryeo ......"

Before Yu Zhi finished speaking, Yang Guang waved his hand impatiently, "Lian doesn't want to listen to this Lian to ask how strong it is?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Goryeo has risen and fallen several times, several times was destroyed by King Wu of Wei, and then gradually prospered, but in the last seven or eight years, because the densely populated Han River valley was occupied by the old enemy Silla, its strength has been greatly reduced, and it is not as good as before, therefore, the national policy of Goryeo is to destroy Silla first, and then destroy Baekje, unification - the peninsula In fact, Your Majesty does not have to attack Goryeo, as long as you support Silla and make Silla strong, it will naturally destroy Goryeo for Your Majesty."

"Really? Kelian felt that Goryeo was a great threat to my Great Sui, and the first emperor also thought so, the emperor only attacked Goryeo in the eighteenth day, and failed for some reason, Lian inherited the will of the first emperor, and then conquered Goryeo. ”

"Your Majesty, at this time, Goryeo was indeed more prosperous during the Kaihuang period, with 100,000 armored soldiers, but no matter how ambitious it was, it did not dare to attack the Great Sui, not to mention that the Great Sui was ten times stronger, and more importantly, its old enemies Silla and Baekje were behind it, and it dared to act rashly?

Moreover, after Silla captured the Han River eight years ago, Goryeo's national strength was greatly reduced, and it was even more powerless to try against the Great Sui, so why did Your Majesty bother with the strength of the country to drive the expedition in person, just a few envoys went to Silla, so that the backyard of Goryeo could catch fire, and the Great Sui could use the Khan of Qimin to divide the Turks, why couldn't he use Silla to deal with Goryeo? ”

Yang Guang was speechless, and said for a while: "What the alliance is trying to do, how can you know it from a small county order, you retreat!" ”

Yu Zhi sneered in his heart, and then said no more, and Shi Li retreated.

Yang Guang was a little upset, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and turned around and ordered: "Spread the will of the Union, order He Silk to build a pontoon bridge within two days, and the army will attack Goryeo immediately!" ”

Wu Jingxian left Liuhe City worriedly, he was very worried about the recurrence of the fiasco of the 18th year of the emperor's reign, the 18th year of the emperor's reign, more than 300,000 troops attacked Goryeo, because of the outbreak of the epidemic, so that the 300,000 army was almost completely killed and wounded, and this time - more than 1 million troops, if the epidemic broke out again, how many people could survive?

Wu Jingxian was particularly worried about the Minfu's side, the conditions over there were bad, the Minfu were generally weak, the food was extremely poor, and the epidemic had already broken out there, if the Minfu fled in a big way, he would bring the epidemic back to the Central Plains, and the epidemic would inevitably spread in the Central Plains.

Not long after Wu Jingxian walked out of Liuhe City, he heard someone calling him from behind, he turned around, and saw that it was Yuan Shangwu, the general of the Right Military Guard, and saw that he looked a little nervous, so he asked: "General Yuan, what's wrong?" ”

"Imperial Doctor Wu, can you go and see my father, he is also sick."

Wu Jingxian was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Are you feverish?" ”

"There are three points!"

"Take me to see it."

Wu Jingxian's heart hung in his heart, Yang Da had already passed away, and if there was another appearance among the ministers, it would mean that the ministers had begun to be spread by the epidemic, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Although Yuanshou was dismissed, but his title is still there, this expedition to Liaodong he was also ordered by Yang Guang to follow him, Yuanshou was old and frail, could not withstand such a long journey, he also fell ill.

Yuanshou's big tent is located in the west of Liuhe City, it is the place where the ministers live, his camp tent is on the outside, Wu Jingxian hurriedly walked to the door of the tent, Yuanshou's other son Yuan Min is already looking forward to it in front of the tent.

"Imperial Doctor Wu, take a look at my father."

Wu Jingxian nodded with a serious face, and walked into the big tent, Yuan Shou was lying in the inner tent, and there were two maids waiting next to him, his eyes were slightly closed, and his face was a little red.

From the first glance, Wu Jingxian felt that it didn't look like an epidemic, he had seen a lot, and Yuanshou's sickness seemed to be a little different.

Wu Jingxian stepped forward and touched Yuan Shou's head, checked his pulse for a while, and asked, "Where is his commode?" ”

―The maid brought up a wooden urinal, Wu Jingxian looked at it, stood up and walked out of the inner tent, Yuan Shangwu hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice, "How is my father?" ”

Wu Jingxian smiled reluctantly, "Actually, it's just an ordinary illness, there's no problem, just sleep and take some medicine." ”

He said more subtly, in fact, Yuan Shou was not sick at all, at this time, Yuan Shangwu took out a jade box that was only two inches long and presented it to Wu Jingxian, "This is my Yuan family's dim sum, please accept it from the imperial doctor." ”

Wu Jingxian was frightened, this jade box alone is the best jade, "What is this nephew doing?" ”

Yuan Shangwu sighed. angry, "My father is old and wants to go back to Jingneipin's Text City." ”

Wu Jingxian understood that the Yuan family wanted to make himself a favor, and he groaned: "But the infection is not curable, how can you explain it in the future?" ”

"We understand this, we will arrange it, my father doesn't want to be remembered by the Holy God anymore."

Wu Jingxian nodded, he took the jade box and said with a smile: "What's in this?" ”

"This is the shadow bone of the Buddha, and it is the treasure of the Yuan family."

Wu Jingxian's hands trembled, this is a priceless treasure! His mother was a great believer in Buddhism, and if he offered this shadow bone to his mother as a birthday gift......

Wu Jingxian swallowed his saliva, he finally couldn't resist the temptation and accepted the jade box.

"I know, I will tell the Holy Elder that the Yuan Pavilion Elder is suspected of being infected with the epidemic, and I will ask the Holy Lord to agree to the Yuan Pavilion Elder to return to Beijing."

After speaking, Wu Jingxian left in a hurry, Yuan Shangwu returned to the inner tent, Yuan Shou's eyes suddenly opened, and asked, "Did he accept it?" ”

Yuan Shangwu nodded, "He took it!" ”

Yuan Shou laughed, in this way, he could die, and the Yuan family could be calmly deployed.

Dizzy! Today's monthly pass turned out to be zero eggs, and I looked around in panic and begged for a monthly pass.
