Li Yunxi smiled lightly.

"Now that Huang Zhao holds the military power in Xuzhou, it is hard for me to touch him directly. Is there any news about sir?"

Weng Ling shook his head,

"The plague in Xuzhou is getting more and more serious now. Although Huang Zhao has [-] soldiers stationed in the city, his fight against the epidemic is extremely perfunctory. I really don't have too many people here to find Dr. Shen. I hope he is okay."

Li Yunxi said.

"Leave the matter of searching for your husband to me. Let me tell you the details of the epidemic in Xuzhou."

Weng Ling asked the attendant next to him for two maps and put them on the desk. On the map of Xuzhou City, he used his old fingers to trace various places in the city and said,

"Here, here, and here, these places in the city are all places with poor hygiene and swarms of fleas and rats. A large number of clustered patients have been found, and human-to-human transmission has begun. Although the sick people have been isolated , but new cases are growing rapidly every day. According to Dr. Shen’s record, we should now organize people to exterminate rats and fleas throughout the city, and let people stay at home for half a month to a month to find hidden patients. However, But it’s difficult to implement.”

Li Yunxi asked.

"Why?"

Weng Ling sighed and said.

"It's a year of famine. The people in Xuzhou don't have enough to eat. They can't even afford rat poison. In order to survive, those with fields have to sow seeds, and those without fields have to work to earn food. How can they stay at home without eating or drinking? , now the market is closed, the porridge shop has also stopped serving, and people come to the government office every day to make trouble."

Li Yunxi suggested.

“Then can the disaster relief food be distributed directly to each household?”

Weng Ling said, "The Xuzhou government doesn't have enough food at all, and they don't have the money to buy it. The prefect has only been in office for two months. The previous prefect has disappeared. What he will do next is that this place will be a mess."

Li Yunxi rubbed his chin.

"Missing? Interesting!"

Weng Ling frowned.

"Your Highness, the common people do not trust us, do not cooperate, and do not have enough money and food to provide security. The fight against the epidemic cannot be carried out at all. Once Xuzhou falls, the next step is the capital, and..."

He pulled out another national map below and said as he clicked on it.

"At present, the plague is centered in Tangzhou and spreads to surrounding states. Zhengzhou, Caizhou, Junzhou, Jiangling and other places may become the next Xuzhou. If it cannot be controlled, the number of deaths will be immeasurable, and It will be a big blow to the entire dynasty."

Li Yunxi's expression gradually became serious,

"This matter is indeed not a trivial matter. I will write to my father to request a large amount of food relief funds and the assistance of officers and soldiers."

Weng Ling sighed.

"Your Highness, water from afar cannot quench our thirst for nearness. I'm afraid that by the time support arrives, Xuzhou will have already fallen."

Li Yunxi thought for a moment and said.

"Recently, in the name of investigating dark snake spies, I have investigated and punished many corrupt officials in Hubei, Jiangling and other places, and appointed some capable and upright officials who serve the country and the people. I can borrow money from them first, Move grain and lend troops to Xuzhou, and ask Mr. Weng to notify the surrounding areas of Tangzhou of the epidemic as soon as possible so that they can do a good job in epidemic prevention and control."

Weng Ling replied.

"I have sent people to inform the surrounding states of Tangzhou, but the specific anti-epidemic work still needs someone to take charge. After all, I am not an expert in this area."

Li Yunxi understood and punched the desk with his fist angrily.

"These bastards, ignoring the life and death of the people, are plotting against Mr. Wang at this juncture."

Weng Ling moved his beard and thought for a moment, then suddenly said worriedly.

"Your Highness, if you move food and troops to the prefectures and counties without reporting, wouldn't it be easy for someone with ulterior motives to get caught?"

"I don't care about that much anymore. Not only for the sake of the people, but also for the sake of my husband. He must not want to see corpses scattered everywhere!"

Li Yunxi stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the spring-filled courtyard.

On the green grass, an apricot tree is blooming in the light, looking gorgeous and full of rouge. However, the plum blossom tree next to it has already failed. When the spring breeze blows, the fallen trees are all over the ground, leaving only the incomplete ones. trunk.

Li Yunxi's eyes did not show any pleasure in admiring the scenery, but instead shone with worry and uneasiness.

The slender fingers clenched one by one, and the worry and uneasiness were replaced by a firm and decisive edge.

"Weng Ling, we are facing a war without gunpowder."

"Shh-"

He drew out the long sword from his waist and held it across his chest, his obsidian eyes reflecting the cold light of the sword.

"Remember, this war can only be won but not defeated!"
