This plague is more intense than imagined, just in the three days after Yu Wenzhe left, the plague has broken out in full force, and all the soldiers of the entire Yinchuan City have been dispatched to guard the city gate, because of the erosion of the war that has just been experienced, and the surviving people are all rushing towards Yinchuan City.
These people relied on the complex terrain of Yinchuan to escape the murderous Turks, but they could not escape the ubiquitous epidemic, so they all rushed to leave Yinchuan to escape the disaster.
Some of these people had been infected with the epidemic, and even fell to the ground on the way to Yinchuan City, without a sound, while the people on the side were not surprised at all, and let the corpse in front of them continue to move forward, their eyes were completely full of numbness.
The range between Yinchuan and Helan Mountain is very vast, and there are many people living here, and Ashina Helu's army did not have time to wreak havoc everywhere after breaking through Helan Mountain, and was burned into remnants by Yu Wenzhe's two fires, so there was not much harm to the people.
The real damage was only Ashina Yifan's 10,000 horses, looking for Empress Changsun everywhere under the guise of looting materials, so the people who died at the time of the Turkic invasion were not too serious compared to the base of the people living here.
The people slowly gathered in front of the city gate of Yinchuan City, looking at the black oppression, like an endless ocean, they slapped the city gate weakly, hoping that the city gate would be opened, and let them leave the land that had been surrounded by the breath of death.
Thousands of people stood outside the city wall, more oppressive than the 150,000 army of the Turks, the soldiers on the city wall looked nervously down, the palms holding the weapons kept secreting sweat, and their eyes were full of pain and hesitation, because the people under the city were the defenders of Yinchuan who needed to protect them.
However, the gathering of so many people means that the epidemic will spread more easily, although Yinchuan City has also thrown down some treasure-equipped drugs to stop the spread of the epidemic, but it has no effect.
The dirty and chaotic environment is the best environment for the plague to breed, and the most important thing is that the emotions of terror and despair envelop them, how can people who have no desire to survive live for a long time.
Every day, a large number of people die, and when the morning comes, many children sit beside the corpses of their parents with blank eyes, and the old people look at the children who cannot open their eyes in front of them, and they do not even cry, they do not wail, and some are just indifferent to life, because the next one may be any of them, and it is impossible to avoid it.
In Yinchuan City, the epidemic in the city is not as serious as outside the city, and the most important reason is that Zhang Baobao seems to have found a way to suppress the plague, although it cannot be cured, but it can enhance the immunity of people who have not been infected with the epidemic a lot, and it is worthy of the name of Zhang Baobao's imperial doctor to do this in such a short period of time.
And the city is full of soldiers, very disciplined, after experiencing the battle with the Turks, the cohesion has reached an unprecedented level, no one will hide their illness, so the soldiers who suffer from the plague can quickly be isolated, which is also an important reason why the epidemic in the city is still under control.
During this period of time, Zhang Baobao has been studying the cause of this epidemic, and it is not surprising that the epidemic started because of the war, and the Turks just killed indiscriminately, and the corpses of the slaughtered people, those stumps and broken arms, were thrown on the side of the road and no one paid attention.
The corpse was not reined in, and at this time it was already summer, and the hot and humid air caused the corpse to decay very quickly, breeding a large number of germs, and gradually, those old and weak women and children, and wounded soldiers, because of the weakening of the body's resistance, fell ill first and suffered from the epidemic.
It's just that Zhang Baobao has not figured out how the epidemic is transmitted, let alone how to cure it, only knowing that this time the epidemic broke out so quickly, it must be a way of infection that can be easily accepted by the body.
At the same time, the excerpt written by Li Jing was also sent to Chang'an as quickly as possible, and when the excerpt was delivered, Jieli Khan had not yet withdrawn from the army, and it was delivered to Li Shimin after several twists and turns.
At that time, the confrontation between Li Shimin and Jieli Khan had reached the most critical moment, because the news of the victory of Yinchuan City had already reached Chang'an a few days before the plague, and Jieli also got the news.
Li Shimin knew that Jieli would not be able to sit still, so he wanted to try his best to delay for some time, after all, the government soldiers of the whole country had come to support, and Jieli had to risk self-destruction at this time to break through Chang'an, but then it would definitely be wiped out by the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise there would only be a retreat, but the war had reached this point, and it was no longer a matter of retreating.
Until he received Li Jing's excerpt, Li Shimin stood on the city wall for a whole hour, and under the balance of power and disadvantages, he sighed for a long time, and finally the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy into the Turkic army to meet Jieli Khan, giving Jieli Khan an excuse to retreat.
In fact, this is also inevitable, after all, it is still Jieli Khan who has the advantage, holding the initiative in his hands, if Jieli Khan is really crazy and attacks desperately, even if the later government soldiers kill Jieli, his Li Tang royal family is not all gone, Li Shiming has great ambitions, he dares to risk the same death and bet that Jieli will not attack, but the plague broke the persistence in Li Shimin's heart, if the plague is not extinguished in time and spreads to the whole country, then there is no hope at all.
The two sides finally signed an alliance, and Li Shimin personally took Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six horsemen to the edge of Weishui, with a large number of soldiers behind them, talking to Jieli across Weishui, accusing Jieli of losing the contract.
Two days later, Li Shimin and Jieli Khan signed a peace agreement on the Weishui Bridge in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, and the two sides immediately killed the White Horse Alliance.
After that, Jieli Khan returned with all the Turkic cavalry, and a great battle finally died down.
The Turks took away a large amount of gold leaf, which was an excuse given by Li Shimin to Jieli to withdraw from the army, and the Weishui Alliance was formed, so far, the crisis of the demise of the Tang Dynasty disappeared completely, and Li Shimin also put all his energy on the plague of Shan Yudu Hufu.
Shili Pavilion, here is the nearest post station outside Chang'an City.
A young man in a tight-fitting purple dragon suit galloped towards Yinchuan City with several followers at a very fast speed, carrying a roll of bright yellow holy decrees in his arms.
Behind them was an army, escorting dozens of wagons and countless supplies, creaking and creaking, and in each carriage sat an old man with a gray beard, the youngest with half a head of white hair.
Finally, Chang'an reacted, and the fate of Yinchuan may change as a result. i0 t1706231537:
