Chapter 415: Plague Outbreak


Keeping the way lies in perseverance.In the face of Chen Baipao's continuous attack, Yuan Benxi dragged his sick body, and with his perseverance, he did not retreat, and finally dragged down his opponent.At the most critical juncture, what he showed to the world was not Wen Taowu's strategy and clever schemes, but the loyalty and integrity that a Confucian should have.Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home.As long as he was alive, the enemy did not want to step on the tiger hill and fell from the city, he was sent into the city by the army to rescue, and when he woke up again, it was already the middle of the night.Accompanying the couch, in addition to a few generals, there was also a father-in-law wearing palace clothes, who should have come from the capital.Seeing him slowly open his eyes, the commander of the tiger guard stepped forward, mixed with joy and sorrow, "Sir, you have finally woken up" The result of the doctor's diagnosis is that Yuan Benxi's old illness has deteriorated, and this battle has exhausted all his energy, and the oil has run out, and the time is running out.There is no cure for such symptoms.For the sake of this city, he fought for this life.Although the chaos has not subsided, he has done his best.Under the dim light, Yuan Benxi's face was sallow, and his breath was like a gossamer.His lips twitched, his voice was weak, "whether the enemy army retreated" At the last moment of his life, he was still worried about the military situation.Seeing this scene, the commander sighed, mixed feelings, and had no choice but to reply: "The enemy army is in a dilemma, and is still hesitating, and will soon escape" He couldn't bear to say directly, Mr.

Two fought to this point, but still failed to make the white-robed army retreat.Yuan Benxi understood, his face turned red instantly, and he coughed violently, coughing up a large pool of blood.His eyes were sunken, his body was shaking violently, and he was already showing signs of death.The maidservant hurriedly stepped forward, helped him to sit up, and cleaned up the blood stains on his clothes and mattress.The generals were at a loss and in a sad mood.Yuan Benxi breathed for a long time before he calmed down with difficulty, and asked: "What about the casualties" There were originally 20,000 tiger guards in the city, all of whom were fierce and elite, and he brought eight thousand forbidden troops, and the number of them added up to be comparable to the enemy army.The commander replied in a deep voice, "There are twelve thousand defenders left, all of whom have been wounded to varying degrees.As for the enemy's casualties, according to the observation of the last general, they are definitely heavier than ours" He was afraid that Yuan Benxi would be angry, so he hurriedly added: "We have a strong city defense to rely on, and the battle situation will not be more severe than today."

The enemy forces were sharply reduced, unable to organize a charge, and the retreat was only between morning and evening. ”Yuan Benxi nodded, his face softened slightly.He can still figure this out.Before he left the capital, the empress had quickly sent a message to the front line and transferred a large army back to defend the Beijing division.It only needs to be delayed for another day or two, and when reinforcements arrive, the crisis will be resolved, and the white-robed army will have nowhere to escape.At this time, he raised his head, scanned the room, and soon discovered the existence of the father-in-law, and said hoarsely: "Why did you come" He recognized this person, who was the empress's close confidant, and rarely went out of the palace.When the audience heard this, their expressions suddenly became nervous.They had learned of their father-in-law's intentions and knew what had happened.The father-in-law stepped forward and bowed his head and saluted, "Sir, the old slave is here, just because of the sudden change in Beijing, His Majesty is helpless, so I can only ask you to decide." ”As he spoke, he took out a secret document from his arms and presented it to Yuan Benxi.Yuan Benxi was slightly stunned, opened the secret and read for a while, his body was paralyzed, and he almost fainted again.With the help of the maidservant, he took a deep breath, his eyes full of consternation."

The day before yesterday was fine, how could there be an outbreak of the plague" The letter clearly stated that overnight, countless people in the capital fell ill, with headaches and diarrhea, spots all over their bodies, and even unconscious.These are typical symptoms of the spread of the plague.In addition, there is one of the most critical words in the letter, the stakes are too big, and the father-in-law did not dare to reveal it to everyone.The empress also contracted the plague and was bedridden.At this time of internal and external troubles, the fall of the empress herself was the heaviest blow to the Wu dynasty.Once the news leaks and is known by the four prefectures and counties, it will swarm up, the world will be in chaos, and the situation will be out of control.The white-robed surprise attack has not yet been resolved, and the plague has suddenly broken out, which is really worse.Right now, the empress is in a coma, Xiao Tieyu is not there, and the heavy responsibility of presiding over the court can only be shouldered by Yuan Benxi.However, he stubbornly guarded Tiger Hill again, and the oil was so dry that he was unable to return to the sky.What can I do Yuan Benxi snuggled up to the servant girl's shoulder, closed his eyes, and thought bitterly."

How does the hospital say whether to find out the source of the disease" The plague is divided into many large-scale acute infectious diseases, although the onset is rapid, but it does not happen for no reason, and there must be a root cause of its spread.With his rich experience in constructing conspiracies, he can strongly feel that the outbreak of the plague at this juncture is likely to be caused by traitors who want to fish in troubled waters and plot against him.As long as the source of the disease is identified, some clues should be seen.The father-in-law replied in a trembling voice: "After the imperial doctors consulted, they came to the conclusion that most of the wells in the capital were polluted and there were a large number of germs.The general public was unaware of it, and after drinking, it led to an outbreak of plague.Even the palace was not spared, "The domestic water in the capital is taken from the well, from the underground dark river.The water network extends in all directions, and even if someone wants to poison, the toxins will filter and precipitate by themselves, which can be said to be very safe.No one could have imagined that the entire underground water system was polluted.What a terrible and exaggerated tactic this must be if someone is doing it.When Yuan Benxi heard the explanation, he didn't open his eyes, and forcibly endured the drowsiness of his mind, thinking about this thorny disaster."

The deterioration of water and soil is beyond human power, and this should be a natural disaster.Can the Tai Hospital dispense a prescription to calm the plague disaster" When he said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, even His Majesty himself was in a coma, and the rice buckets in the Tai Hospital must be helpless.Sure enough, the father-in-law said anxiously: "The hospital said that this epidemic is extraordinary, the symptoms are unheard of, and the medicine cannot be used as before."

That's why Your Majesty asked me to come, please go back and preside over the overall situation" At this time, the capital was full of mourning, from the princes and ministers, down to the common people, and there were plague patients everywhere.If we can't come up with countermeasures to disperse the plague as soon as possible, I am afraid that the capital will be self-defeating, and the people will die of illness one after another.This lethality is more powerful than the enemy visible to the naked eye.Yuan Benxi opened his eyes, coughed a few times, and said with difficulty: "I'm leaving, who will guard the city" There was silence in the field, and everyone was speechless.Internal and external troubles, diseases and disasters are coming, and even the countrymen are tired of coping.Heaven wants to die Tang, who can resist After a moment of silence, Yuan Benxi sighed and ordered: "Immediately pass the book to the front line, let the Marquis of Blowing Water put down his military affairs, and return to Beijing quickly" He remembered it clearly, the previous real person was poisoned in his body, and he was treated by a master and recovered quickly.The last time Yunyan tea poison was dormant, it was Ren Zhen who detected the truth and sent someone to send an antidote formula to resolve a court crisis.Both of these incidents show that he was assisted by a famous doctor.Now that the plague has broken out in the capital, it is urgent to prescribe the right medicine, so he can only let Ren Zhen come back to put out the fire."

If you prepare a book for me, you must remember to make it clear and ask him to bring a famous doctor with you.In addition, if the military situation allows, he can lead the army back" He knew very well that Wang Wei led the Youzhou army to rebel, and next, Beihai was likely to rebel, and a bigger war was about to hit the capital.It is imperative for the main force of the front line to return to defense, and this heavy task can only fall on Ren Zhen's shoulders.The Northern Tang Dynasty will be tilted, looking at the entire government and the opposition, he is the only one who has the ability to save the world.At this time, Yuan Benxi secretly prayed, little junior brother, you must resist it:
