"After the Black Flag Army rests for three days, the entire army will leave the city and follow this king to defeat the enemy!”
Li Xuanlie waved his hand and calmly gave the order.
Luo Yi Gang was still shocked at his appetite for annexing the two Turkic kingdoms, but when he heard that he was going to fight the entire army in three days, he couldn't help but be shocked.
King Reliance sounded as if he had defeated the enemy with ease.
Too arrogant
Luo Yi came back to his senses and could not help but remind him,"This subject knows that King Reliance is a godlike soldier, but this subject dares to mention that there are still around 270,000 Turkic and Goguryeon soldiers outside the city, nearly three times our number.”
Li Xuanlie ignored him. He stared at the map and was already thinking about the military strategy in three days.
Liu Bowen smiled." Manager Luo, do you know how many soldiers Persia used in the last battle to pacify the empire?"”
"I don't know, please explain.”
Luo Yi was at a loss. She didn't know why this advisor of King Reliance's Palace would suddenly mention something so irrelevant.
"Seven hundred thousand." Liu Bowen gave a number.
Luo Yi was slightly shocked by this number.
"Then do you know how many troops His Highness had in that battle?" Liu Bowen asked again.”
Luo Yi shook his head.
"It's only seventy thousand Black Flag Soldiers." Liu Bowen said lightly.
Luo Yi's body trembled as he looked at Li Xuanlie. The questioning look in his eyes was now replaced by shock.
"Liu Changshi is saying that His Highness defeated ten times the Persian army with seventy thousand soldiers?”
Luo Yi's voice was hoarse, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Liu Bowen nodded and shook his feather fan.""Right now, His Highness has thirty thousand Black Flag Army and eighty thousand Youzhou Army, making a total of one hundred and ten thousand troops. Are they not enough to surround the three hundred thousand enemy troops outside the city and annihilate them in one fell swoop?”
Luo Yizhang exhaled. He finally understood where King Reliance's confidence came from.
He also noticed that Liu Bowen had used the word " surround ".
With 100,000 people, they surrounded 300,000 enemies!
His tone was as if they were the one with the advantage in terms of military strength.
"King Reliance and the Black Flag Army are not ordinary people. If they really take over the Sixteen Prefectures and rebel, how can Prince Jin and the others stop them?"
Luo Yi sighed in her heart, and her brows could not help but furrow deeply.
At this moment, Luo Cheng rushed into the hall.
"Reporting to King Reliance and Father, all the camps of the Youzhou Army and more than a hundred households in the city are showing the same symptoms as the plague!”
"What?!"
Luo Yi's expression changed and he jumped up in shock.
Li Xuanlie's sharp eyebrows couldn't help but slightly constrict.
Since ancient times, plagues were ten times, a hundred times more destructive than war.
In a battle, at most tens of thousands of people would die. Most of the soldiers would just scatter and flee.
However, if the plague broke out, not only would the soldiers die, but there was also the danger of being wiped out in Xidai Prefecture.
At the critical moment of the battle between the two armies, a plague suddenly broke out in Youzhou City. How could Luo Yi not be shocked?
"Why would there be an outbreak all of a sudden? There were no signs at all!”
Luo Yi was so anxious that sweat rolled down her forehead. She looked at Li Xuanlie for help.
Li Xuanlie pondered for a moment and asked,"Luo Yi, this king asks you, how many water sources are there in Youzhou City?”
Luo Yi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said," Your Highness, the water source of Youzhou is nothing more than the Yongding Canal. There are only a dozen wells. Because the Yongding Canal passes through the city, it is convenient to get water. Wherever it is, regardless of whether it is the army or the people, they mainly get water from the Yongding Canal.”
Hearing this, Li Xuanlie suddenly understood.
"The Turks have always been cruel and vicious. Now that Youzhou is under siege, how can you not prevent them from throwing corpses into the water source and creating an epidemic? How dare you ask the soldiers and civilians to get water from the Yongding Canal? You are extremely muddle-headed!"”
With Li Xuanlie's knowledge, he immediately exposed the Tu Jue's scheme.
Luo Yi suddenly understood and immediately felt ashamed and panicked, sweat pouring down his back.
"I have failed in my duty. Please calm down, Your Highness. However, this epidemic has already occurred.”
Luo Yi trembled in fear and completely lost control.
After Li Xuanlie scolded him, his handsome face calmed down, and a hint of disdain flashed through his eyes.
"Jie Li, do you think that by using such despicable methods, this king will be helpless?”
"Send an order to Li Shizhen. Order him to quickly dispatch the medical guards and definitely put out the epidemic for this king!”
Li Shizhen.
He was supposed to be a miracle doctor born in the Ming Dynasty, but Li Xuanlie was born ahead of time and appointed him as the commander of the Black Flag Army.
Li Xuanlie led 70,000 Black Flag Army soldiers to the west. The soldiers crossed mountains and rivers and fought bloody battles on the battlefield. How could they not be injured or sick?
However, after hundreds of battles, until Li Xuanlie destroyed Rome, the 70,000 Black Flag Army lost less than 5,000 people.
Of course, this was related to Li Xuanlie's godlike use of troops. He would defeat the enemy with lightning speed in every battle and never fight a war of attrition.
Another reason was that he had a structure that surpassed the era and had specially established a medical center.
Today, Youzhou had an epidemic, so Li Xuanlie naturally had to use the medical camp to suppress it.
The order was passed down, and hundreds of medical officers, under Li Shizhen's lead, quickly rushed to all parts of the city.
…
Fifteen days later, at the Grand Marshal's Residence.
"Your Highness, through the efforts of this subject and my colleagues in the medical camp, the epidemic in Youzhou has been completely controlled. I believe that it will be completely eliminated in ten days at most.”
At the foot of the stairs, the elegant Li Shizhen reported to Li Xuanlie.
Hearing this, Luo Yi heaved a sigh of relief. His surprised gaze could not help but size up this doctor called Li Shizhen.
Since ancient times, the epidemic had been the most troublesome. When the epidemic broke out in Chang 'an, many imperial physicians took action and it took a full three months to barely suppress it.
The young doctor called Li Shizhen in front of him looked to be less than 30 years old, but he actually had such extraordinary medical skills. It was really amazing.
"King Reliance's subordinates are not only filled with advisors and generals, but they also have such a divine doctor. The Black Flag Army is truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons."
Luo Yi secretly exclaimed, and the gaze he looked at Li Xuanlie with increased fear.
On the throne.
Li Xuanlie nodded his head in satisfaction." Shi Zhen, you've done a great job this time. I'll record it in the merit book for you."”
"Saving the dying and healing the wounded is my unshirkable duty. Your Highness, you're too serious.”
Li Shizhen was not arrogant and had the noble demeanor of a famous doctor.
"Oh right, how's the compilation of your 'Compendium of Materia Medica' coming along?" Li Xuanlie asked with a smile.”
Li Shizhen quickly said,"Your Highness, I have finished writing it. I don't know when Your Highness would like to review it."”
Li Xuanlie waved his hand." There's no need for that. Quickly send the completed Compendium of Materia Medica to Luoyang Imperial Academy of Medicine. This king will report to my father and promote your work to all doctors in the world. This book will definitely benefit the Great Tang!”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Shizhen bowed deeply. Thinking that the medical book he painstakingly compiled could be promoted to the world and help the world's doctors save the dying and heal the wounded, he was naturally very excited.
On the same day, the black flag messenger departed with the Compendium of Materia Medica and the good news of Youzhou's epidemic relief, heading straight for Luoyang.
The military discussion ended.
Just as Li Xuanlie was about to get up, a guard suddenly rushed over.
"Your Highness, Madam Zhangsun has fallen ill!”
