Chapter 120: The Turks Are Not Honest

But what Li Mao didn't expect was that the epidemic was like a fire, and after he arrived in Tianjin on a sea boat for a month, the land of Youzhou was already full of desolation, and even Shanxi and Shandong provinces, which were adjacent to him, had a tendency to spread.

But fortunately, Li Mao was not idle for a month on the ship, he did nothing, he first mobilized a large number of herbs and doctors from Chang'an and Luoyang to treat the plague, and then bought as much food and supplies as possible from all over the south of the Yangtze River and brought them into Youzhou.

But the disaster is not singular is that at the time when the epidemic was raging in the land of Youzhou, the Turkic Viga Khan seemed to see an opportunity to take advantage of, or Li Mao's direct destruction of the Tubo State gave him a strong impact. Therefore, in order not to sit still, the Viga Khan, under the planning of the national teacher of the Desire Valley, actually teamed up with the Khitan and the two major tribes of the Hui Qi to fight outside Youzhou.

At this time, Lu Qiqing, the assassin of Youzhou, and Zhang Shouqi, the general of Guoyi, were also very decisive, while stabilizing the hearts of the people in Youzhou, they quickly mobilized 100,000 troops to confront the Turks.

So when it was still impossible to find out the extent of chaos in Youzhou, Viga Lao'er never dared to let go of a decisive battle with the Tang army. It was precisely because of his hesitation that Li Mao got a time difference to turn the tide in the crisis.

The first thing Li Mao did when he entered Youzhou City was to order the city gate to be blocked, and he also issued this order to Shandong and Shanxi in succession...... Later, he called on 100,000 female workers in Taiyuan Textile Factory to make masks overnight, and in the absence of complete disinfection facilities, Li Mao also used the 200,000 catties of spirits in Luoyang Distillery as disinfectant alcohol......

Li Mao's sudden lockdown made the people in the three places panic, but fortunately, the people living in the city could get free rice and grain from the government every day without leaving their homes, which also slightly reduced people's panic.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, according to your order, the Imperial Medical Institute has placed all the more than 50,000 patients in the Big Buddha Temple outside the city, and the corpses have all been collected and cremated by the officials and soldiers......

"Very good, Lao Liu, a few of you doctors who understand the treatment plan don't have to take risks yourself, you just need to research out the prescription and hand it over to the people below, if you must test the patient yourself, be sure to do a good job of self-protection, such as masks, disinfectant spirits, and wormwood aromatherapy...... They all have to be used in time, and whether the hysteria can be controlled this time depends on the colleagues of the Taiyi Institute...... The Pharmaceutical Bureau is now constantly transferring herbs from Chang'an to ......"

"Thank you Your Royal Highness King Shou for reminding me, and thanks to Your Highness, you have set this treatment plan early, early detection, early isolation, no contact, no gathering...... It's really a stroke of genius! Although the situation is still very crisis, the violent deaths are far less ferocious than they were a month ago......"

After Li Mao and Imperial Physician Liu finished communicating, they hurriedly rushed to the camp on the front line in Youzhou, and Zhang Shouqi and Lu Qiqing were also indescribably excited on the spot after seeing him.

"Your Royal Highness King Shou, you can come, the Turkic thieves are untrustworthy, and they actually take advantage of the sudden season of our hysteria to vainly attack the land of our Tang Youzhou, and the 300,000 army is eyeing it, the situation is very bad!"

"The two of you are exempt, this king is also here to atone for his sins when he comes to Youzhou this time! Didn't those guys in the court say that the hysteria outbreak in this Youzhou land was caused by the king's big army? Are you two conjecturing like that......

"Your Highness, the villain, why do you bother to hang a ring? Throughout the ages, have there been fewer natural and man-made disasters that have broken out on the land of China? Is it man-made every time? According to the end of the general, they just can't see Your Highness, you have made immortal achievements in breaking Tubo, so they use such means to slander your ......" "Your Highness, what General Zhang said is that the lower officials will never believe in the argument that attacking Tubo will cause the wrath of the heavens, can they only let these Fan clans plunder my Tang people?" If you want this official to see it, you should pull all their guys who can only talk to the front of the battle to see, how did the Fan people be benevolent to my Tang soldiers? ”

"Well, the two generals don't have to be so angry, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent hysteria from spreading in the army. If you need anything, just ask the king! The army of Kannai Province reinforcements will also arrive soon! This really has to be said, he Viga Khan is going to become the king again this time, or he will launch a battle like this time, I am afraid that the king would have been punished by kneeling in the Daming Palace at this time! Haha......"

After Li Mao finished speaking, he laughed a little unscrupulously, and Lu Qiqing and Zhang Shouqi were stunned at first after seeing him make this appearance, but then after thinking about what Li Mao was trying to express, they also laughed along.

"What His Royal Highness King Shou said is that this is a blessing and misfortune! The impatient provocation of the Turkic thieves this time just shows that they are afraid of Your Highness, and the fall of the Tubo Kingdom has made them feel painful! ”

"Lu Tingshi, you and this king are also heroes, and you see things in common! In such a period of time, the more crazy Viga is, the more it shows that they are frightened, at that time, when my Tang Dynasty attacked Tibet, if he could make a decision and help him, maybe he could win some respite, now? Entangled to beg, what's the use of the two Khitan small clans to show off their might! But the hammer is struggling, and the two generals can rest assured that the king also brought some crossbows with him on this trip! In addition, the king of the Turks, who is dealing with the declining West Mountain, thinks that it is better to attack the heart! ”

"What does Your Highness say about this?" The two of them saw Li Mao Chengzhu smiling and silent, so they asked in unison, but Li Mao looked at the anxious appearance of the two, and still just shook his head to indicate that the time had not come.

"How to fight, the two generals, please wait a few more days! Tomorrow, the soldiers of the vanguard army will be ordered to send out the banner of this king, and the Taviga will withdraw for dozens of miles...... Haha......"

Zhang Shouqi and Lu Qiqing looked at each other and smiled, and then laughed again, but afterwards, after waiting for the longevity king Li Mao's big book to hang out, Viga Lao'er was really frightened and a little panicked, and after the army retreated more than 20 miles, he dared to hurry to discuss the countermeasures of the generals of the three kingdoms.

"National teacher! Don't you say that you got the informant, and said that this Li Mao has always been in Lingnan? Why did he appear in the Youzhou Army so quickly! The sentry sent yesterday also saw him patrolling in front of the formation! ”

"Great Khan! Li Mao must have acted on purpose in this way, what he wanted was for us to mess up first, and in the opinion of the old minister, he did not come here for the war in Youzhou, but perhaps to treat the raging hysteria......"

"Hysteria? Could it be that he, a pampered prince, would still cure the sick and save people? No...... No, this person is extremely cunning, and he must not be taken lightly, when the national teacher set the attack before, it is better to think about it again in the eyes of Ben Khan!! ”
