Yinchuan City, Li Jing was in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion at this time, his face was ugly, now a quarter of the soldiers in the city have fallen, and for the sake of those people outside the city, a large amount of food will be thrown down every day, the materials in the city have been urgent, and if this continues, they can only save the materials to support the people, in short, the situation is extremely grim.
If it weren't for the news that Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin had sent troops one after another, they would have been able to bring troops to arrive in a few days, and I am afraid that the order to stop supplying materials to the people would have been issued.
For Li Jing, this is really nerve-wracking, after all, he is fighting against the plague now, he is a general, he will command soldiers to fight, and he has never failed, but he is really helpless against the plague, but one thing he is very clear about is that he must not let the people cross Yinchuan City, and he must not let the plague spread to the whole country, even if he has to be indifferent to the people he should protect.
Li Jing was still in Yinchuan City at this time with the determination to die, no matter how severe the situation was, he didn't think that the Turks had the ability to kill him, but now it was different, this was also the first time he was not confident that he could return to Chang'an alive.
"Grandpa, the army of General Li Ji and General Cheng has arrived less than ten miles away from Yinchuan, and now the army is stationed on the spot, and the two generals have taken their own soldiers to the city and asked to enter the city" Li Jing was sitting in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, still thinking about how to distribute the supplies, Han Shou General hurriedly ran in and said excitedly.
"It's finally here, Ben will go in person, you go and inform Lord Zhang, so that he can quickly prepare some medicine against the plague and send it to the city gate."
Li Jing Huoran got up, and after instructing Han Shou General, he walked towards the city gate on the other side where the people were gathered.
Behind this city gate is the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, a place where the soldiers desperately guarded.
"Hahaha, pharmacist, I've never seen you look so sad, no matter how critical the moment was, you were always calm."
"It's no wonder that the second brother has become like this, if Lao Cheng and I had encountered such a situation, I would have returned to Chang'an with soldiers and horses a long time ago, and I Lao Cheng was not ambiguous in leading troops to fight, how far I would hide from this epidemic" As soon as Li Jing came to the city gate and opened the city gate, he heard a loud laugh and a rough voice, and then two generals in armor walked in.
"Brother Li Ji, Zhijie, you two don't have to be sarcastic with me anymore, fortunately you came to help in time, otherwise the supplies in the city will be exhausted soon, and I can only take the most extreme method" Li Jing shook his head with a bitter face and said.
"I said second brother, Brother Li Ji and I came from so far to support, didn't you say that you invited us into the city to rest, why did you still block Lao Cheng and me at the gate?"
Chen Yanjin stroked his dusty beard on his face, looked at Li Jing, who was standing in the center of the gate but did not give way at all, and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Zhijie, this time the plague is very fierce, the necessary precautions still need to be had, I have asked Lord Zhang to configure herbal medicines, although it can't cure the epidemic, but it has some defensive effect, take the medicine and enter the city."
Li Jing looked at Cheng Yanjin in front of him and shook his head helplessly, this Cheng Yanjin is a demon king of the world, if he doesn't appease him, he doesn't know what kind of chaos is going to happen, and only Li Shimin can really control him in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Zhijie, just listen to Senior Brother Yao, this epidemic is no better than others, and Senior Brother Yao won't harm you, wait a minute" Li Ji also reassured, as Li Ji's voice fell, the entire city gate fell into silence, and the three top generals of the Tang Dynasty stood inside the city gate, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
On the other hand, Yu Wenzhe held the little girl in his arms, left there with Lin Ping and Wang Dahu, found the horses left on the side of the road, and rushed back in the direction of Yinchuan City.
Along the way, I encountered some corpses, all of which were facing the direction of Yinchuan City, no one restrained or ignored them, the plague was like this, and it would only get worse when no one was curing it.
Even Yu Wenzhe himself didn't know why, the moment he held the little girl in his arms, the little girl's condition began to slowly weaken, and even woke up the next day, although he was still weak and looked sick, but he was already able to eat some food and drink some water, and everything seemed to be developing in a good place.
Because of this little girl's bond, it took three days to come, and five days when she went back, and in these five days, the little girl's condition did not ease again, as if she could wake up and eat some food had reached the limit, her eyes were cloudy, and she couldn't even speak, she only knew to stay in Yu Wenzhe's arms.
On the way back, Lin Ping and Wang Dahu also wanted to take over the little girl's body, but every time at this time, the little girl was pulling Yu Wenzhe's clothes as if she was returning to the light, and even the two immature little hands had bloody scratches, Lin Ping and Wang Dahu had to give up when they saw this.
So in the past five days, she has never left Yu Wenzhe's arms at all, as if Yu Wenzhe is the only reason for her to live.
More and more people gathered in front of Yinchuan City, as time went by, no one went to knock on the city gate, perhaps because they lost hope, they would only sit on the ground every day, their eyes on the two gates to the way of life, hoping that they would be opened, even if they knew that this was a luxury, they still insisted, only when food was thrown down from the city wall every day, it would cause some commotion.
Yu Wenzhe didn't expect that after he had only been away for ten days, so many people had gathered under the city of Yinchuan, and they struggled to squeeze to the edge of the city wall, looking at the closed gate with heavy faces.
"Young master, what should I do now, the city gate will never be opened, if these people can't see hope, it's okay, if the city gate is opened, it will cause them to attack Yinchuan City desperately, then it's bad" Lin Ping looked at the sick crowd around him, and said with an embarrassed face.
Yu Wenzhe knew very well what Lin Ping said, since ancient times, the common people have been the most powerful force, if this force breaks out, it is enough to destroy anything that stands in front of them, there is also an epidemic in Yinchuan City, but it was controlled before he left, and the soldiers who were infected with the epidemic were isolated in the medical camp.
And those soldiers are soldiers who have seen blood, even if they know that they are seriously ill and their days are numbered, they will not make any big trouble, but these people are different, when people are facing death, they often become extremely crazy, and they will take off all their disguises, Yinchuan City cannot be lost, Li Jing will not take such a risk, and the most important thing is that there is not such a big place to place these people in Yinchuan City.
The team sent by Chang'an to support the epidemic has not yet arrived, and it is already precious to provide some food to these people during this time, which is also the sadness of living in this era, and anyone will have this feeling of powerlessness and despair in the face of natural disasters. i0 t1706231537:
