In the palace, Emperor Li Er was having dinner with his family in Lizheng Hall. Since the chef Dahu was detained by the queen, Dahu's food has been served by the emperor, because the chef cooked delicious dishes and there were many dishes, which made people never get tired of it.

There were two little cuties around the dining table of Emperor Li Er. Xiao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yizi were used to free meals together. Xuanxuan was eating the delicious food that Li Er had picked up, and she didn't forget to ask questions: "Grandpa, when will Dad be back? Grandma said you asked Dad to go out. Xuanxuan hasn't seen Dad for a long time."

Li Er replied with a smile: "There are many patients outside, and they will naturally come back after seeing the disease. Don't worry."

When the little girl heard this, it was wrong, "But how could the patients outside finish the exam? When I was in Luoxia Town, people were sick every day, as if my father could never finish the exam.

Is Daddy never coming back? Wow...Mom, let's go find Daddy."

The little girl threw down her small wooden spoon, started crying with a wow, turned around and threw herself into the princess's arms.

Li Er looked up at the queen in embarrassment, thinking to himself if I had said something wrong?

At this time, the little Shizi, who was having dinner together, stopped quietly and asked in a low voice: "Father, have you given her father...well, right?"

Well, right? Li Er looked at his daughter in surprise. What's going on? The child actually gestured to wipe his neck? She was just four years old.

"Yizi, who did you learn this from?" Li Er asked.

"With my father, I went to play with my father once. When I saw you treating someone like this, I never saw that person again."

Puff, the queen laughed and burst out from the side. Li Er threw down his chopsticks, frowned and scolded: "From the child in the future, don't let him run around, see what he has learned?"

The princess comforted her daughter and asked to the emperor: "Father, how is the epidemic in Hebei Road? Is there anything wrong with him?"

"How could something happen? That kid seemed to be born as a miracle doctor, and even had the ability to catch the plague. Not only that, he also came up with a good way to solve the disaster relief problem. It was originally planned to take at least three months of disaster relief. Now it seems that it will be over if there are no two months.

I guess he is already thinking about why he wants a reward from me when he comes back."

But Li Er probably wouldn't have thought that this plague is not simple, not just a problem of curing diseases.

Under Youzhou City, Liu Hongji was mobilizing the victims to collect food, but what he didn't expect was that the victims had gone wrong and wanted to return to their hometown to collect food. No one was willing to stay here to help Youzhou's governance collect food.

Liu Hongji was stunned and turned to look at Wei Zheng beside him: "Old Wei, you have many ideas. These victims must not go back. Doctor Du has not yet identified the source of the plague and has not yet eliminated them. They have not recovered from their illness. Will it be even worse if they go back again?"

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and came up with a good idea, "Hebei is full of wheat, but the wheat matures from south to north. In other words, the wheat in Youzhou is now ripe and can be harvested, but Pingzhou in the north is not good.

Immediately, I opened a banner and told them that starting from Youzhou, I would rush to harvest them from south to north, collecting grain and treating diseases. When the wheat in Youzhou was harvested, I would naturally catch up to harvest the wheat from my hometown.

In addition, the rush to harvest food can only be participated by healthy people, and those with sick are strictly prohibited."

"Hey, good idea, don't worry, those who are sick are the ones who need to be served, and no one is rushing to work." Liu Hongji said with a smile.

However, something happened the next day after the rush to collect grain around Youzhou City. Yingzhou in the north urgently reported that due to the plague, Yingzhou and Pingzhou in the north were empty. Goguryeo in the east took advantage of the opportunity to send 50,000 troops to capture Yingzhou. Now Pingzhou has lost half, and the enemy is coming very fiercely.

"How could this happen? Are the Goguryeo barbarians not afraid of plague? I'm afraid we don't need to send troops to send their 50,000 troops." Liu Hongji exclaimed.

The deputy general said, "General, no, the third prince and Doctor Du are investigating the root cause of the plague in Yingzhou. Now that Yingzhou is in trouble, your prince and Doctor may be in danger."

Liu Hongji slapped his thigh, "Come, come, beat the drum and gather the generals. The 20,000 defenders in Youzhou City must rob His Highness and others back."

Wei Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "Old Liu, no, you can't act rashly in this matter. You can't move 20,000 people. There are still 100,000 victims outside the city. If no one cares for these victims, it's over."

"But if your Highness doesn't help him, how can you explain to your Majesty?"

"Let me think about it, think about it.

By the way, I quickly sent a message to General Yuchi Jingde in the south and asked him to lead troops to help. The enemy came strangely. His Highness had the Xuanjia Army to protect him, so there should be no problem.

We should be optimistic about Youzhou and not let the enemy come over to destroy the major event of snatching summer grains." Wei Zheng calmed down.

But after saying this, Old Wei was stunned. The mystery that lingers in his mind these days seemed to be clear. Summer Grain? Goguryeo? Why did the plague suddenly come without any warning?

Now that Goguryeo appears, Wei Zheng thought of it, slapped his thigh and cursed: "What a despicable barbarian.

The plague must have been released by them. Finding the right time to release the plague will not only poison the Tang Dynasty, but also drive our people to flee south, so that no one will harvest the summer grain in the north. At this time, they are not here to occupy the territory, but to steal our food."

"Old Wei, are you sure? Then they are not afraid of plague?"

"It was the plague they released. They must have a way to deal with it in advance. Doctor Du can easily treat it. I believe there are also capable people in Goguryeo. Even if they grab the food first and then treat the disease, it will be cost-effective.

The country of Goguryeo is not big. If you can get the food from Hebei Road, it will definitely be enough for them to eat for the first half of the year.

No, we must mobilize the two armies from Hedong Road and Henan Road to help, and we must not let the other party succeed."

Just as Wei Zheng estimated, Du Shaoqing and others also found clues at the junction of Yingzhou and Pingzhou. This should be the source of the plague. It can be confirmed that it was the source of the infection that someone deliberately released.

Just the day after they found out, a war broke out between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo border. Yingzhou was suddenly captured by the 50,000 troops of Goguryeo. Du Shaoqing and others were also trapped in a small village on the southern coast of Yingzhou and did not dare to show up at all.

"How is it? Have you found it? How dare the Goguryeo soldiers be afraid of the plague rampant in Yingzhou?" The third prince Li Ke anxiously asked Du Shaoqing and Li Junxian who came back from the investigation.

Du Shaoqing looked ugly and said hatefully: "They had planned that not only were the soldiers well trained, but there were also people in the camp steaming and cooking medicinal materials to incense to disinfect and prevent plagues. Now it seems that this plague was deliberately put on by the Goguryeo people, just to take advantage of the situation and attack our Tang Dynasty."

"But they only have 50,000 troops. Even if they conquered Hebei Road, they would not be able to stop the revenge of our Tang Dynasty soldiers." Li Ke said to himself in confusion.

Li Junxian next to him explained: "Your Highness, when will these barbarians dare to covet our territory? They must have come to fight Qiufeng to rob us."
