Chapter 405: Li Hong is here
Smallpox broke out in Dashi. To be precise, smallpox broke out in almost all places where large groups of people live in Central Asia to West Asia, and it was extremely fierce. Many cities of Dashi have been closed, and even the epidemic broke out in the army, causing chaos in Dashi.
In his letter, Ni Nishima used a long paragraph to describe the epidemic of Dashi. In his opinion, this was simply the best opportunity given to him by God. Now Dashi is too busy to take care of himself and even the army is in chaos. It is their good opportunity to fight back to Persia.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Ni Ni Ni Nii army has already been vaccinated with cowpox. This is not that the Ni Ni Nii Zi was prepared for it, but that all the Tang Dynasty troops had given priority vaccination, especially in the Western Regions. Because smallpox broke out in India last year, the Tang Dynasty was also worried that it would spread to the Western Regions, so when promoting cowpox last year, the Western Regions troops were given priority vaccination.
The army under his command is not afraid of smallpox, but Dashi is deeply trapped in the smallpox epidemic, so the Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni has been crazy even if he doesn't want to.
Of course, Ni Nirvana would definitely not miss such a good opportunity. In addition, he had already prepared a plan for counterattack before, and now he has just advanced the plan. Although it is a bit hasty, such a good opportunity, if you miss it, you don’t know when it will be available again.
It was also in this case that the Ni Ni Nii Mater decided to counterattack in advance. According to the time in this letter, it is estimated that they might have taken action now. Zhang Zong believed that the Tang Dynasty would definitely give Ni Nii Mater some support. After all, even those merchants knew to invest in advance, let alone the Tang Dynasty.
After reading the content in the letter, Zhang Zong fell into silence. Master Ni Ni did not understand medicine, and he did not know how the epidemic spread. Therefore, he was only happy about the smallpox epidemic in Dashi and did not notice anything abnormal. This is also a normal thing.
But Zhang Zong was different. Even through the description of Ni Nie Master, he keenly felt that the smallpox of Dashi was too abnormal. Generally speaking, even if the plague of smallpox broke out, there would be an outbreak point. Even if it spreads outward, it would take time. It would never spread throughout the country in a short period of time. You should know that Dashi was in its heyday. Although the land area was not as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, it was also extremely vast.
With the land and population of Dashi, even if smallpox explodes, it will generally be limited to one place. If it is handled properly, as long as the area is blocked, the spread of smallpox will be quickly curbed.
But this time it was completely different. The smallpox of Dashi swept across the country in a short period of time, and even cities near the Western Regions had smallpox erupted. This was by no means a natural spread of smallpox. In other words, it was likely that someone was manipulating it behind the scenes.
Thinking of the above, Zhang Zong couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed, and also remembered the thoughts in his mind that Caesar asked him when he said goodbye to him, wanting to know how people in the future would evaluate him. At that time, Zhang Zong had a premonition, and now he finally did it.
"Young Master, medicine can save people and kill people. Don't think too much!" At this time, Wan'er walked behind Zhang Zong, gently pressed his shoulder and comforted him. If there is anyone in this world who understands Zhang Zong's current mood, then only Wan'er will be there.
"Yes, everything has two sides, and I just want to have a clear conscience!" Zhang Zong also whispered at this time, but when he said the last sentence, he showed a confused look because he didn't know if he could really be clear in his heart?
A month later, Zhang Zong, Li Chongye and others came to the city gate again, and there were many other ministers. After they came outside the city gate several miles away, they also looked anxiously at the official road in the distance, because today was Li Hong's day to come to Luoyang.
When it was almost noon, a large team finally appeared on the official road. When Zhang Zong and the others saw the team's banner clearly, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Li Hong also quickly caught up from the carriage and met Zhang Zong and others. He hadn't seen each other for half a year. Li Hong didn't seem to have changed much, but his face was a little pale. However, this is normal. Li Hong's body is sick, so his face is a little pale all year round. In addition, he felt tired even when he was riding a carriage, and Li Hong's illness must not be tired.
It was because they knew Li Hong's physical condition that Zhang Zong and the others did not chat with Li Hong for too long. They just exchanged a few greetings and got on the car, and then entered Luoyang City together. However, Zhang Zong and Li Chongye got on Li Hong's car together. Other ministers were not surprised to see this. After all, they all knew that Zhang Zong and Li Chongye had special identities. When Li Hong came to Luoyang, they would definitely be the first to find them to know the situation.
After Zhang Zong got on the carriage, he also gave Li Hong a detailed introduction to the recent situation in Luoyang City, especially Li Zhi's physical condition, which was the focus of his introduction, and this is also what Li Hong cares about the most.
"How is the diet of my father?" After listening to Zhang Zong's introduction, Li Hong was silent for a moment before asking.
As the saying goes, if you become a doctor after a long illness, Li Hong is a patient and is proficient in medical theory. He is considered half a doctor. So he knows that no matter what disease, the patient's diet is very important. If the patient's diet is normal, there will generally be no major problems, but if there is a problem with this kind of diet, it will be serious.
"It's not very good. Taiping was personally responsible for Your Majesty's diet during this period. Your Majesty ate very little at every meal, and he could only eat some liquid food. Sometimes he couldn't eat anything at all." Zhang Zong replied in a deep voice. Of course, he also knew the importance of diet, so he was very unhappy about Li Zhi's condition.
When Li Hong heard that his father could not eat sometimes, his eyes turned red and his face showed a sad look. Although he hated Wu Meiniang, his mother, he still respected his father very much, and the relationship between the father and son was quite good. Now, hearing that his father was so ill, he was also sad.
"Father, Grandpa Emperor... He told me privately..." Li Chongye also sobbed with tears in his eyes, "He... He felt that he had not had much time, so he wanted to invite you to Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation, so you must take care of yourself!"
Hearing Li Chongye's words, Li Hong could no longer hold it back and tears suddenly burst out. Although Li Zhi had often had an illness in the past, the feeling this time gave him different. He even had a premonition, and I'm afraid his father's health would be really bad.
