After returning to the forward camp, Liu Wei always looked uneasy, because there was always one thing that made him puzzled.

Liu Wei personally went to the lookout in front of the gate and looked into the distance.

Chai Shao, who temporarily played the role of a guard, followed Liu Wei's gaze and silently looked in the direction of the Turkic camp, and frowned: "As far as the minister knows, Guli Khan is not a person who does not know soldiers. ”

"Yes."

Liu Wei nodded approvingly, and immediately motioned for Chai Shao to continue.

"Why, then, did he bring his troops back to the camp?"

Chai Shao pinched his chin and said slowly: "Now that the fighting force in Hebei City is less than a thousand, if Guli Khan takes advantage of us to go halfway and lead a large army to intercept and kill, it may have a miraculous effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Yes."

Liu Wei still nodded silently.

"However, Guli Khan actually issued an order to the whole army to collect troops and return to the camp without any worries, such a decision is a bit too strange." Chai Shao said.

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, we just need to wait here for news." ”

"I guess Guli should soon find out the answer for us." Liu Wei said.

Things turned out to be as Liu Wei expected, and after a night of rest, Gu Li quickly revealed the mystery for Liu Wei and others.

At the beginning of the hour, Liu Wei, who was sweating in front of the tent, suddenly received a report from the scout: "General Qiyu, the Turkic army has moved." ”

After Liu Wei came to the vanguard unit, he deliberately concealed his identity, and his current identity is a general who commands thousands of troops, and in addition, he also hangs the official position of director of the Military Election Department of the Ministry of War.

The scouts also received special instructions from Xin, and whenever they detected the enemy, they had to report to the general to the officer in front of them.

When Liu Wei heard this, he hurriedly put the saber into the scabbard, and immediately took Chai Shao and others to check the enemy situation under the city of Hebei.

When Liu Wei and his entourage were still some distance away from Hebei, there was a sudden creaking sound in everyone's ears.

Liu Wei frowned and said, "If I guessed correctly, this should be the sound of a catapult." ”

"I am still about a mile away from Hebei, and at such a distance, I can hear the sound of catapults marching so clearly, it seems that the Turks have already taken out all their family funds." Chai Shao said.

As the two spoke, the group had already arrived at a dirt bag only more than a hundred steps away from Hebei, and Liu Wei leaned over the horse slightly, looking at the Turkic people who had already made preparations for projection, and immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time.

With the sound of a breaking wind, Liu Wei suddenly realized: "It's not good, the Turks are neither boulders nor fire pots this time, but..."

"People."

"People?"

Zhao Yu frowned, his head hadn't turned for a while, so he frowned and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Liu Wei's face showed a look of horror that could not be concealed, but he saw him silently raise his trembling right hand, pointed at the Turkic soldiers who were thrown into the air by the catapult, and said in a trembling voice: "There is an outbreak of plague among the Turkic army. ”

Chai Shao looked in the direction of Liu Wei's finger, and when he saw that it was a dying Turkic soldier who was thrown into the air by the catapult, he let out an exclamation of surprise with a look of surprise, and then gritted his teeth and said: "This group of crazy beasts, I hate to eat their flesh and sleep their skin, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart." ”

Compared with Chai Shao, who was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks, Zhang Xun, the prefect of Hebei, seemed much calmer, he looked sideways at Nan Jiyun, and said: "Nanba, immediately lead a team of men and horses to the south of the city, then an open place, dig a deep pit, the bigger the better." ”

When Nan Jiyun heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

After Nan Jiyun led the people away, Zhang Xun moved his gaze to Lei Wanchun beside him, and said: "Order someone to prepare fire oil, burn the Turkic Hu Barbarians who fell into the city on the spot, and after it is turned into coke, pull it to the south of the city and bury it in the deep pit prepared in advance." ”

"The last general commands." Lei Wanchun retreated.

Zhang Xun searched around the crowd, and finally stopped his eyes on Guan Tao's body, he recognized Guan Tao at a glance, so he beckoned to Guan Tao with a smile, and after he came closer, Zhang Xun gently patted Guan Tao's shoulder and said, "This government has given you a task." ”

When Guan Tao heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "But there is an order, and there is no disobedience." ”

Zhang Xun's eyes swept around among the few people, and then said to Guan Tao: "You lead the people of Pontus, gather the people together, and take them to the north of the city for refuge. ”

When Guan Tao heard this, he saluted Zhang Xun without thinking, and said in a loud voice: "We are all willing to live and die with Hebei." ”

Zhang Xun shook his head without hesitation, looked at the people of Hebei who did not survive, and said, "Let's leave a seed for Hebei." ”

"Do what you are told." Zhang Xun waved his hand to Guan Tao undoubtedly.

Guan Tao sighed helplessly, then silently saluted Zhang Xun, and said softly: "Take care, adults." ”

Looking at Hebei City, where corpses were piled up like mountains, Zhang Xun suddenly felt a sour nose, and tears burst out of his eyes.

Zhang Xun supported the battlements with both hands, and said with tears: "After the war, there will be a big epidemic, and there are millions of people in Hebei, and now there is no one in ten, and I, Zhang Xun, am really ashamed of the fathers and villagers who live here." ”

In fact, most of the people of Hebei fled from Hebei, and the number of Hebei people who really died in this battle of defending the city was less than 50,000, but Rao was like this, Zhang Xun still felt ashamed of his trust in the people of Hebei.

The main reason that really made Zhang Xun feel heartbroken was the epidemic after the war, and he had a faint premonition that the soldiers and civilians in the city would probably die from this imminent epidemic.

At this very moment.

Liu Wei, who was standing on the dirt bag outside the city, received a prompt voice from the simulator: "In view of the fact that the host's previous national policy has not been implemented, the system will formulate a new national policy for the host." ”

Where is Liu Wei still in the mood to pay attention to the affairs of the national policy, he is now thinking about the epidemic.

Just after the system's voice was spoken, a white bag suddenly appeared in front of Liu Wei, and four big characters were written on the bag: Hanging pot to help the world.

Seeing this, Liu Wei immediately came to his senses, so he hurriedly opened the simulator, stretched out his hand and gently touched on the white bag, and the next moment, the white bag slowly bloomed, and a line of prompts appeared in front of Liu Wei: After opening the bag, you will immediately get an imperial doctor with a level 6 medical skill (ignoring the limit of the highest level 5 medical skill).

Liu Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly clicked on the Taiyi Building option in the simulator, and checked it in the imperial doctor's table, and when he looked at the name of the last person, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shao Quan, age 44.

Official position: Imperial Physician.

Medical: Level 6.

Medical Dao: Full level.

Title: None.

Personality: Lively.

Status: Traveling with the driver.

Just as Liu Wei was about to order someone to summon Shao Quan, he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him, who had a wooden stick inserted in his head very casually, a medicine box on his waist, and a small donkey riding under his crotch.

Liu Wei didn't wait for the person to get closer, and then shouted loudly: "The person who came is Imperial Doctor Shao?" ”

"The situation in Hebei City is extremely dangerous, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive you for not being able to pay full courtesy."

Shao Quan said, and walked past Liu Wei with such a swagger.

Looking at the back of Shao Quan's departure, Liu Wei still didn't forget to pull his neck and shouted: "It's important to save people, Imperial Doctor Shao doesn't need to be polite." ”

With Shao Quan's joining, the epidemic in Hebei City was quickly brought under control.

Ashina Guli saw that the army was plagued with epidemics, and he was unable to conquer Hebei City for a long time, so he had no choice but to give the order to withdraw the army.

The epidemic inflicted a heavy toll on the Turkic army, with a non-combat attrition of up to 30,000.

On the way to withdraw the army, Gu Li even took the initiative to make the decision to abandon Hedong, and led the army to retreat straight to the Mobei royal court and lick his wounds.

For a long time to come, both Bactria and the Turks entered a period of recuperation.

After returning to Beijing, Liu Debate rewarded his meritorious deeds, moved Zhang Xun to the secretary of the military department, moved Nanjiyun to the general army of Hedong, moved Lei Wanchun to the general army of Hebei, and even Dubo Guan Tao also got a great promotion.

After this battle, Guan Tao was promoted to the position of general, and for more than ten years after that, he always followed Nan Jiyun's side, responsible for guarding the land east of the river.

In the following decades, Liu Wei slept day and night, and the world gradually recovered under his governance.

However, the intensity of Liu Wei's work was really scary, and he squeezed himself so hard that he became ill at a young age.

On the third day of the fifth month of the 35th year of God's blessing, Liu Wei died at the age of 50, and the temple name was Taizong.
