And at this time.
Dunhuang, which worries people all over the world, is already the same as Changzhou a few days ago.
Fell into dead silence.
The streets of Dunhuang, which were once full of flowers, were now the only ones left patrolling the streets. There is already a pile of garbage at the door that cannot be disposed of.
An atmosphere of terror permeated the entire Dunhuang.
In contrast to this terrifying silence, the occasional shrill cries seemed to announce that there was another person who did not survive the malaria and died like that.
Thousands of villages are left with dead people, and thousands of households are deserted and ghosts are singing.
same.
There are also the privileged classes and noble families in the city who want to escape from this hell on earth.
However……
Chang Shuwen, the governor of Dunhuang, would not give them this opportunity.
The refugees from Changzhou escaped, causing panic all over the world. How dare he let people out again? Moreover, in the face of the plague, closing the city is the best option.
so.
He's very powerful.
No matter who it is, anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy! There was no attempt to dissuade him, he just killed him!
"My lord, my lord..."
At this time, another subordinate came running in crying: "Today, there are two thousand people again..."
Chang Shuwen's heart sank, and a feeling of despair surged into his heart.
Two thousand people a day...
What speed is this!
horrible!
Could it be that God really sent down the plague to punish them? But he often writes essays, works hard to govern, and has a breeze on his sleeves. Why should he be tortured like this!
He laughed miserably: "Hold on...it will pass, it will pass."
Everyone burst into tears.
Will it pass?
Everyone knows that the plague is a natural disaster with no solution. They can only wait slowly, slowly waiting for the damned people to die like that, because no one will really come to their rescue...
Those doctors are probably just victims of the struggle for power, right?
Because what’s the use of them coming here?
It's just adding some more infected targets to this terrible malaria.
As malaria attacks more and more people, there will eventually be a shortage of staff.
By that time, it will be self-destructive again.
We had contacted them early, and the Yinzhou soldiers who wanted to pass through Dunhuang probably didn't dare to come, right?
There are supplies, there are herbs too...
Um.
Chang Shuwen thought to himself, just take it as long as you can.
I just hope that Dunhuang will not turn into a dead city in my own hands.
He burst into laughter and stood up: "Don't worry, everyone, I will always write and write, and I will live and die with Dunhuang! I won't leave until the plague goes away!"
"grown ups……"
"Sir, you..."
Everyone was moved to tears.
Chang Shuwen waved his hand: "Let's go, follow me, and inspect Dunhuang! Tell the people that we are still here, and we, like them, have always been in this land!"
"yes!"
at this time.
Another person ran in frantically: "Master Prefect, outside...outside..."
Chang Shuwen was stunned: "What's going on outside?"
The man was panting: "The Yinzhou soldiers are coming, 90,000 Yinzhou soldiers!"
"What?"
Chang Shuwen was stunned. Other officials also looked at each other in confusion.
Now, Dunhuang has become a city of plague that has changed the color of the world. The Yinzhou Army did not change its direction and all came towards Dunhuang?
Could it be that the world-famous Liu Zhizhou didn't get the news?
It shouldn’t be!
Chang Shuwen is a bit incomprehensible.
The subordinate continued: "Sir, Liu Zhizhou said... he said...open the city gate, and he wants to overcome the difficulties together with the people of Dunhuang!"
boom!
There was a buzz in Chang Shuwen's mind, and then his face changed drastically: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! The Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce has already supported us a lot. The plague is not a trivial matter. This... go, go, come with me!" "
A crowd of people waited and walked to the gate of the city.
as expected.
The 90,000-strong Yinzhou Army, which returned in triumph, could not be reached at a glance. At this time, it had arrived about ten miles outside Dunhuang City.
A man came riding on horseback and shouted loudly: "Master Taishou, my young master is coming to help! Please open the city gate. We are willing to fight the plague with Dunhuang!"
Chang Shuwen sighed: "Liu Zhizhou's benevolence and righteousness are known to the whole world, and I am grateful to him. However, the plague is not a child's play. I hope Liu Zhizhou will take a detour earlier, otherwise, otherwise..."
Qin Changfeng, who was riding a horse, laughed loudly: "Don't worry, sir, my young master has already prepared a way to deal with the plague, just let us go in!"
Everyone was shocked.
How to deal with the plague?
This is shocking, but who believes it?
Chang Shuwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did Liu Zhizhou lose his mind because of the promise made by the Holy Emperor to a king with a different surname? My feelings towards him suddenly dropped a lot.
He insisted: "General, this matter is not a trivial matter. It concerns the Longyan Society. I dare not act recklessly. Please inform Liu Zhizhou and take a detour!"
Liu Zheng had actually guessed Chang Shuwen's attitude.
Qin Changfeng roared for a long time, but Dunhuang refused to open the city gate.
Qingyang Shuo said with a smile: "It seems that no one else can believe this method of eradicating plague."
Liu Zheng nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, there are still 20,000 Changzhou patients outside the city. Let's start from here!"
It is indeed a bit sensitive when troops are approaching the city.
And still at this time.
Moreover……
Since ancient times, there has been no good way to deal with the plague, but you have one? Who believes it? Once you come in, contract the plague, and are taken away, who bears the responsibility?
Chang Shuwen's approach was not wrong.
Although he was worried about the safety of the people in the city, Liu Zheng had nothing to do.
The 90,000 Yinzhou troops could only be temporarily stationed outside the city.
At this time, the refugees who had fled from Changzhou were stunned.
"Who is this?"
"Run! Everyone, run! This is someone sent by the imperial court to kill us!"
"Run? Where to run? Where to run is not to die? God wants to kill me!"
"Yeah, I can't run anymore..."
In just three days.
Of the nearly 30,000 people who came from Changzhou, nearly 10,000 have died! There were not many good ones left. Looking at the dark Yinzhou Army, they suddenly fell into despair.
I had known this...
What are you doing here in Dunhuang?
Not only does it harm others, but it also harms yourself.
The more they thought about it, the more desperate they became. These people simply stopped running away. They hugged each other and cried, waiting to be killed by the imperial army.
However……
What happened next was beyond their comprehension.
The mighty general came over and looked around, and then said coldly: "Get up, all of you, line up one by one, and come here to register!"
"If you want to live, be obedient!"
"Anyone who wants to escape will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone was shocked.
Still alive?
And...are these people not afraid of death? Aren't they afraid of catching the plague? These 90,000 people actually started setting up camp all around them.
this……
This is not the imperial army!
Someone recognized the unique green uniform of the Yinzhou Army and exclaimed: "This is the Yinzhou Army! This is the Yinzhou Army! They have returned triumphantly from the Western Regions!"
A group of people had different thoughts after hearing this.
An old man stood up first, his eyes excited: "Are you General Qin under Liu Zhizhou?"
Qin Changfeng nodded.
The old man suddenly knelt down with tears streaming down his face: "General Qin, you must not do this. The Yinzhou Army is Long Yan's brave army and cannot be harmed by our group of people!"
"You guys leave quickly!"
"Don't worry about us!"
"Yes, General Qin, the men of Yinzhou are all good! Save your lives and kill those barbarians!"
Others also tried to persuade him.
At this time, Liu Zheng was also listening and couldn't laugh or cry, shaking his head and sighing.
If I had known this, why would I have to run out of Changzhou?
Even when a man is about to die, his words are good...
He didn't expect that his reputation as a member of the Yinzhou Army was quite good.
He came over on horseback and said calmly: "Everyone, if the Yinzhou Army is here, you will not die. Listen to General Qin's words and live well!"
"If you believe me, Liu Zheng, don't waste your time. Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other.
alive?
They know that Liu Zhizhou has great magical powers, but this is a plague, this is a plague...
But didn't wait for them to speak.
The Yinzhou Army was already busy at this time.
Since he knew it was malaria, Liu Zheng didn't ask them to "wear masks." During the three days on the road, the 90,000 people in the Yinzhou Army learned how to squeeze the juice from the stinky mugwort.
then.
Under the stunned eyes of the Changzhou patients.
The stench was starting to get to their heads.
What is this for?
Some children cried on the spot.
If we are guilty, beheading will do...
Is this court trying to smoke us to death?
