Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

The two wanted to dissuade them, but were stopped by Li Chengqian.

At noon the next day, Xue Rengui led Fengziying back with a cart full of grain and grass. Feng Yong had also been arrested by him, but Li Chengqian had no time to pay attention to him now.

In the camp, Li Chengqian was discussing plans with Wei Zheng and Xue Rengui.

Now there will definitely be riots in the city, so their first step is not to treat smallpox patients, but to suppress the riots, and then open a shed to serve porridge, and the last step is to cure smallpox.

Li Chengqian said: "Tomorrow we will first enter Tushan City to rectify order, gather smallpox patients and suspected patients to the north of the city, gather uninfected people to the south of the city, and burn the dead smallpox patients at the west gate."

"Build two simple sheds at the north city gate and the south city gate respectively. One shed is used to boil medicinal liquid, and the other shed is used to cook porridge. Let the people eat their stomachs first, and then give them medicine. Leaving Tushan City, we do the same. If all the patients are cured after seven days, the crisis will be declared resolved. Tomorrow I will enter through the north gate, and you will enter through the south gate. !"

"How? Did the two of you understand?"

The two responded in unison: "Understood."

Then Xue Rengui said: "It's better for the last general to lead his troops into the city from the north gate, and you and Mr. Wei enter the city from the south gate."

Li Chengqian entering the city through the north gate meant that he would be in charge of the smallpox patients area in the north of the city, which was undoubtedly the most dangerous place.

He waved his hand and said, "No need, we entered the city together, the risk level is the same, if there are no other problems, let's enter the city, every second of delay, people in the city may die."

After saying that, the three of them led the white-robed army to march towards Tushan City.

Zhuang Yongshou looked at the group of people heading towards Tushan City with admiration on his face.

He has only heard of Li Chengqian's benevolence and righteousness, but he has never seen it, but today's incident taught him a lesson. This kind of prince who takes the lead is really rare.

He took the lives of the people of Tang Dynasty as his life from the bottom of his heart, instead of saying that he cared about all people, but doing things like treating people's lives like grass.

Within ten miles of Tushan City, they saw corpses appearing on the ground one after another, some of them were already smelly, and there were flies flying around.

A depressed, desolate atmosphere lingers around Tushan City.

The men of the White Robe Army shouted with a loudspeaker made by Li Chengqian: "People of Tushan City, please pay attention, the imperial medical team has arrived, and the imperial court has developed a prescription for treating smallpox and preventing smallpox. Don’t panic, all go back to the city. People who already have smallpox and those who have abnormal health please gather in the north of the city, and those who don’t have smallpox gather in the south of the city. The medical team will distribute food and medicine to everyone. The defenders please cooperate with the evacuation of the crowd!"

The broadcast repeats over and over again.

"Hahaha... God open your eyes! The imperial court has not forgotten us, has not forgotten us!"

"Woooooo... Daddy, wake up, His Majesty sent someone to rescue us, wake up..."

"There's something to eat, finally something to eat, it's really not worth it to suffer from smallpox and end up starving to death..."

"Brother, it's not good! It's not good! It seems that the imperial army is coming to the city."

People in the city and outside the city listened to the sound of the radio, and suddenly became energetic, with mixed reactions.

At the west gate, on the gate tower, a guard ran in, "Master Shouzheng! Lord Shouzheng! The imperial court sent people here, we are saved, we are saved!"

"Huh?" Cui Xing, the guardian of the west city gate, hurriedly stood up from his chair. At this time, he was already the biggest official in the Tushan City.

Cui Xing asked anxiously: "Really? Did the court really send someone here?"

The guard responded: "Yes, it's not far outside the city, and they're about to enter the city."

Hearing this, Cui Xing ran out in a hurry, and an army of more than a thousand people was rushing towards the city not far from the city.

"Quick! Let's go down to meet him!" Cui Xing said and wanted to run out.

The guard stopped him, "My lord, no, those bandits are still surrounding the city tower, and now all the city gates are under their control, we can't go down at all."

"What should I do!" Cui Xing frowned.

Immediately he shouted: "Quick, bring paper and ink."

At this time, the white-robed army outside was about to march to the city, Li Chengqian raised his hand to ask the white-robed army behind him to stop broadcasting.

Different from the scene he imagined, Tushan City was exceptionally quiet at this time, the gates were closed, and the noise in the city could be vaguely heard. If there were not a large number of corpses outside the city, it really didn't look like a city where a plague broke out.

Xue Rengui stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the atmosphere is a bit weird. It stands to reason that the city gates are tightly closed, which means that the inside is under the control of the defenders, but we can't see anyone from the city coming out to greet us with such a loud voice. It's really strange."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "I also sensed it, leaving a hundred brothers to protect the food and grass, and the rest of the brothers drew out their weapons to prepare for emergencies."

At this moment, Cui Xing leaned out from the tower and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"

Then he drew out a bow and shot it in front of Li Chengqian.

Xue Rengui hurried forward, "Your Highness, be careful."

Li Chengqian grabbed him, "It's okay, he didn't attack me."

The moment the arrow fell to the ground, before Li Chengqian had time to pick it up, the West City Gate opened.

But it was not the defenders of Tushan City who rushed out, but a group of bandits and rogues, "Kill! Kill these ungrateful and ungrateful court dogs who treat human life like grass!"

Chapter 205 Entering the city to save the people

Looking at the men and horses rushing out, Xue Rengui said coldly: "Your Highness, this earth mountain city is not easy. Those who came out were not city guards, but a gang of bandits."

Li Chengqian smiled lightly: "Since they want to play, I will play with them."

They could tell that the bandits in the lead were not ordinary wild ways at all. Moreover, in the nearly one year since Li Shimin ascended the throne, all parts of the Tang Dynasty had stabilized, and there were very few bandits.

"Your Highness, these bandits are handed over to the last general. You wait here for a moment."

After Xue Rengui's words fell, he took the lead and led Fengziying to kill. At this time, Fengziying had already put on a bright silver suit, white horse, white robe, silver armor, and silver gun, like a silver lightning bolt galloping towards the west gate. go.

A man in green shirt rushing forward whispered to a one-eyed man next to him, "Brother, this team is not good at Malays!"

"Hmph..." the one-eyed man said disdainfully: "They only have a thousand troops, and our people plus the recruited local gangsters in the city have a total of 5000 troops."

"When our plan is successful, this Great Tang Dynasty will come to an end. At that time, we will get the reward we deserve, leave here, and go happily."

Qingshan laughed and said: "Hey...then let us send these bastards of the imperial court to hell!"

In just a moment, the two sides collided together.

At the moment of confrontation, the gangsters saw the fighting power of Fengziying. Xue Rengui was like a god descending from the earth, sweeping away the enemy with every halberd.

Remnants of limbs and broken arms flew in mid-air, and blood flowed like rivers.

"Brother! Their combat power is too terrifying, we can't stand it at all!" The man in the blue shirt said anxiously as he watched the rapidly routed army.

The one-eyed man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Let's retreat back to the city first, and in the long run, the army here is the white-robed army!"

"White-robed army?" The man in the green shirt lost his voice with a frightened expression on his face.

Just when they were about to retreat, a silver light and shadow suddenly rushed over from the flanks, blocking their retreat.

The two looked intently, only to see Yiyu facing the wind, and a handsome young man in silver armor was looking at them jokingly.

Li Chengqian was observing the battlefield from a distance, and he was looking for the two of them.

The two glanced at each other, and then with a fierce look in their eyes, they rushed straight to Li Chengqian.

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth raised slightly, and he inserted the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand into the ground, stirring up waves of smoke and dust.

In an instant, the two rushed in front of Li Chengqian, one left and one right, one high and one low, attacking both sides of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian stood still, as stable as Mount Tai. When the two short knives pierced Li Chengqian's side, he leaned slightly, his right leg was like a dragon exploring the sea, and instantly kicked the two of them.

boom!boom!

The two flew away at the sound and fell to the ground.

Li Chengqian controlled the strength and broke a few ribs, but they didn't hurt their lives.

At this time, the battle behind them was coming to an end. Under the silver spear of Fengziying, these bandits fell under the iron hooves without even holding on for two rounds.

at the same time.

Cui Xing, the guardian of the city, also rushed out with others. Panting, he rushed out of the city gate, cupped his hands at Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui, and said, "The villain, Cui Xing, the guardian of the west gate of Tushan City, pays his respects to the adults."

Li Chengqian looked at the bloody, haggard and ragged Cui Xing and said indifferently: "Who is the person in charge of your Tushan City?"

Cui Xing said sadly: "My lord, all the officials in Tushan City have fled or died. Now I am the only one. Our thousand defenders have been besieged by these bandits on the tower for three days."

"If it weren't for the adults to come to the rescue, we might not be able to withstand it for a few days."

Wei Zheng stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness, it seems that there is really someone playing tricks in this Tushan City."

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Cui Xing was startled at first, then surprised, and then hastily stepped forward to salute, "Small... villain, please refer to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The defenders behind him said in unison: "See Your Highness the Prince."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Excuse me."

Immediately, he continued: "Cui Shouzheng, let's talk about other things later, let's solve the smallpox plague in the city first."

Cui Xing pointed to the two kidnapped bandits and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I'm afraid not, they still have accomplices in the city."

Xue Rengui looked at the one-eyed man and said coldly: "Tell me, where is your accomplice?"

"Bah!" The one-eyed man said contemptuously: "You court dogs can't live..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xue Rengui slashed at his neck, and the blood gushing out spattered the face of the man next to him.

The man in the green shirt had a frightened expression on his face, and his eyes were full of fear.

Xue Rengui looked at him and said coldly, "What about you!"

He hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head, and said in fear: "Officer, official...spare my life, I say, I say everything."

Li Chengqian said: "Rengui, take him away, keep those who are useful, and kill those who are useless."

"Yes, His Royal Highness." Xue Rengui cupped his hands.

With the man in the green shirt, he led three hundred elites into the city.

Cui Xing looked at Li Chengqian and said softly, "Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "You and Duke Wei will bring the uninfected people to the south of the city, and this palace will bring the infected and sick people to the north of the city. Duke Wei will tell you the specific method."

"Let's hurry up and act, the people in the city are still waiting for us."

Cui Xing and the man in the blue shirt clasped their hands together and said in unison: "Yes, His Royal Highness."

The work of evacuating and distributing the people continued from noon to the early morning of the next day.

All the corpses were taken to Dongcheng Gate by Xue Rengui for centralized burning.

People who had been hungry for several days received thick white rice porridge with some diced meat in the porridge sheds on both sides of the north and south gates.

"Ah! It's such a wonderful feeling to be reborn. I've never felt that this white rice porridge is so delicious..."

"His Royal Highness really deserves to be my savior of the Tang Dynasty, he is really a bodhisattva who saves suffering..."

"I didn't expect that I, Tang Dynasty, would find a cure for smallpox. It's really not easy..."

The people who were eating hot meat and rice porridge gathered together, filled with emotion.

In fact, their hearts were dead long ago, and they didn't have much hope in their hearts.

In the past few days, all the food in the city was snatched by a group of bandits who suddenly appeared, and the common people really felt that life was worse than death.

After eating, the common people began to line up to take the brewed liquid medicine.

Some seriously ill patients are cared for by specialized medical personnel in centralized tents.

Lying on straw mats, the seriously ill people could not have imagined that the imperial court was so benevolent and righteous.

To think so highly of them, the common people who were infected with smallpox and were about to die.

In the military tent outside the west city, Xue Rengui was reporting to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, the matter has been settled, and the law and order have been maintained. The common people ate porridge and took medicine, and all went back to the city to rest."

According to the rules of the white-robed army, rest cannot enter the houses in the city.

Chapter 206 The Source of Smallpox

After a busy day and night, Li Chengqian was also a little tired, but what he ate was rice porridge, just like the common people in the city.

Laizhou's food is not rich, and he doesn't want to waste money.

After hearing Xue Rengui's words, Li Chengqian nodded, "A few people were arrested in the city."

Now he has time to have fun with this group of people, no matter who is behind them, Li Chengqian will definitely make their life worse than death.

Xue Rengui responded: "Four were arrested, the rest were killed, and they were detained in the camp together with the man in the green shirt."

At this time, the guard came in to announce, "His Royal Highness, Cui Xing, the guardian of Tushan City, came to ask for an audience."

Li Chengqian said: "Call him in."

Not long after, Cui Xing and Wei Zheng walked in together, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."
