Chapter five hundred and forty fifth plague outbreak
After Li Dingguo returned, he quickly told Zhang Xianzhong the good news. Zhang Xianzhong was also very happy after hearing it. It was undoubtedly a very fortunate thing for them to get the help of Prince Heng.
Originally, they were more familiar with the situation nearby, but now they have the advantage in numbers. It can be said that they have the right time, place, people, and people. Even if they are dragged away, they will drag Obai and his army to death here.
This good news soon spread throughout the army, greatly inspiring people. Unfortunately, just a few days ago, Li Zicheng had already run away with his people.
To say that Li Zicheng is really dishonest. He was the one who fled here with his pursuers. Now that he saw that the situation was not good, he patted his butt and led the people away without even thinking about what to do in Hanzhong. Zhang Xianzhong
What should we do?
It's a pity that their good mood did not last long. War always brings many other bad things. One of the disasters that gives everyone a headache is the plague.
Plague strikes quickly and spreads even faster. People often fall to the ground one after another before you can figure out a solution. Moreover, there is often no particularly effective solution for this kind of thing.
Hanzhong has been living peacefully for too long, and the people here may not be able to accept such a fierce war. Before the war lasted long, some people were already infected with the plague.
By the time Zhang Xianzhong knew about this incident, the best control time had already been missed. Everyone who had the disease tried to conceal it and took a chance. The result was a direct result of the rapid spread of the plague, and it was already here in the blink of an eye.
The point of being out of control.
Prince Heng didn't know about this at first. The day after he watched Ding Xueling, he went directly to Prince Rui's Mansion and found the magnolia tree.
Come to think of it, this tree was planted by King Rui himself when he first arrived in Hanzhong. It is said that it was a sapling he brought from the palace. There were many times when everyone thought it would not survive. Unexpectedly, it has grown so big now.
.
Prince Heng brought a jar of wine and entered Prince Rui's Mansion alone. When the news of Prince Rui's death came back from the capital, most of the people in Prince Rui's Mansion had already left.
Some people do it because of the war, some people feel that it is no longer safe here, and some people want to make a living elsewhere with more opportunities. In short, they have almost left, and almost all of them are willing to stay.
Those old people who have stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion for many years.
Even if they leave here, there is nowhere else to go. They don't want to leave. Even if they die, they want to stay in Prince Rui's Mansion. Or there is a deeper reason. They don't want to believe that the prince died so easily.
, so I always thought about waiting for him to come back here.
It wasn't until Ding Xueling came back with Prince Rui's ashes that everyone seemed to have to accept the truth that the prince would never come back. Since then, this place has become even more desolate, and many people even blatantly came here to grab things.
.
When Prince Heng came in, the person who came out to greet him was the old housekeeper. When he saw Prince Heng, the old housekeeper almost cried: "Young prince, you are back."
"Uncle Lin...I...I'm sorry. I couldn't bring Brother Rui back with me. I'm really sorry..."
Old Uncle Lin raised his sleeves and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I know it's not your fault. It's good that you can come back safely. Listen to my advice and stop thinking about those right and wrong fights. The prince has been because of
It’s too painful to be forced by these things.”
"I know, don't worry, I have a good idea." Prince Heng shook the wine bottle in his hand: "I'm here to see Brother Rui."
Old Uncle Lin sighed and led him to the magnolia tree in the backyard: "The old man is getting older. You must remember to water this tree often in the future to prevent it from withering. The prince has brought it a thousand miles away."
It’s not easy to get here.”
Prince Heng nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will move here to live in the future, and you will be my family. No one can bully us anymore."
King Heng knew that Old Uncle Lin meant a lot to Brother Rui. When he was still young, he traveled thousands of miles away from home alone. It was this housekeeper who accompanied him along the way and took care of him when he grew up. It was not so much a member of the family.
An old servant, it would be more appropriate to say that he is a relative who has been with him for many years.
"Brother, don't worry, I will take care of everything you leave behind, whether it's your palace, your family, or your Hanzhong!"
After moving all the things into Prince Rui's Mansion, a day passed just like that. Prince Heng tossed and turned in bed at night, but he still couldn't fall asleep. He had rarely led troops to fight in person before, although Wei Ningxiao was by his side to assist him.
He, but Zhang Jianzhong is so scheming, can he really trust him?
It's hard to guarantee that he won't play the trick of doing one thing in front of others and another behind the scenes, but judging from his behavior all the time, he is indeed wholeheartedly resisting the invasion of the Qing Dynasty. If he wants to keep Hanzhong, then he should believe in his ability.
Do you like it?
He agreed to the cooperation very hastily. He almost agreed directly without consulting anyone. If you think about it carefully now, wouldn't it be a little too impatient?
He had been thinking about these things all night, but after much deliberation, he could not think of a definite result. He could only discuss it with Wei Ningxiao and the others tomorrow.
But before he could find Wei Ningxiao the next day, Comrade Wei himself came to his door.
"My lord, something happened." Wei Ningxiao hurriedly ran in. It seemed that something terrible had happened, otherwise he would rarely be so impatient.
Prince Heng is much more patient now than before. He was even able to get Wei Ningxiao a glass of water without any haste: "Why are you so anxious? Tell me slowly."
"Your Majesty, a plague has broken out in Hanzhong City, and many people have died. Now the situation is not under control, and many people are unwilling to tell them even if they are sick. The situation has become more and more serious."
"What happened? How could it suddenly become so severe?" Prince Heng frowned. He had never heard of the plague in Hanzhong before.
"Before, those people were hiding it and refused to tell it, but now they can't hide it anymore. I heard that Zhang Xianzhong was also furious about this, but he went to many doctors to no avail. Not only that, but there are also several people who are doing the same.
We caught up with the plague and died, and now no one wants to go in." Wei Ningxiao sighed.
"How could it become like this? Is there no one who can control the current situation? Isn't there a doctor who can do anything?"
Wei Ningxiao shook his head in embarrassment: "Do you know when there was a disease like the plague here? Now it's a war, how can any doctor from outside be willing to come here?"
