Xie Xun looked at him against the light with a smile that was not a smile, like a ghost, Li Yong was so frightened that he couldn't move, couldn't say a word, cold sweat fell from his temples in an instant, he moved the sword tip between his fingers, and With a flattering face, "Zhixu, if you have something to say, say it well, and using a sword will hurt your peace."

Feng Yu didn't expect Xie Xun to know Li Yong.

Fang Lingjun told her quietly, "Before the imperial concubine entered the palace, she promised to be the eldest son of the Li family. Li Yong was his younger brother, and the three sons of the Xie family liked this brother-in-law very much. The most affluent Yangzhou official is also secretly protected by the Zhenbei Houfu."

"If you want to live, Yangzhou will listen to my orders and withdraw your troops immediately. Don't kill people indiscriminately on the street. Guard the city gates and docks. No one can enter or leave Yangzhou. Let people into the city, you send people to kill indiscriminately on the street, it will only intensify the conflicts, now the top priority is to stabilize the victims and the people, isolate the healthy people from the people infected with the disease, treat the sick, and prevent the disease from spreading, In this chaotic situation, if you don’t send troops to maintain stability, but also intensify conflicts, you’ve been an official in Yangzhou for so many years, you’ve lost your mind, right?” Xie Xun slapped him on the head, knocking off his official hat to the ground .

Li Yong had been panicked for a long time, and he was even more helpless, "But you... you are in charge of Yangzhou, and I don't have enough lives to kill you."

"Even if I don't come, Yangzhou is in such a mess, Yu Wenjing will let you go? Will the cabinet let you go? It's all your fault that Yangzhou will suffer. It was supposed to implicate the nine clans. Now you can only listen to me and make up for it. It's not too late." Xie Xun pulled him up who was paralyzed on the ground, "Withdraw everyone immediately!"

Li Yong was not a talent for governing the country at all, and he was able to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou thanks to Yangzhou's prosperous business and peaceful people. After accepting refugees, he caused a catastrophe. Thanks to Beihou's blessing, the Li family has been living smoothly these years, and now the good times are coming to an end.

Stretching out his head and stabbing him is death, and retracting his head is also death. Li Yong has lived under the protection of others all his life, and now he can only hug Xie Xun's thigh, "Zhixu, you must save me, save my whole family!"

"Then you still don't get up and do things." Xie Xun kicked him.

Li Yong put on his official hat in a panic, summoned his staff in a hurry, temporarily withdrew the troops from the street, and let Xie Xun take over Yangzhou. Now that Yangzhou is in such a mess, it doesn't matter whether Xie Xun is a traitor or a traitor, the whole of Yangzhou Everyone is eager for someone who can save Yangzhou from the fire and water.

The news of Yangzhou spread quickly. Both sides of the Liujiang River were affected by the disaster, and they were too busy to take care of themselves and Yangzhou. The Zhongzhou and Jiangnan garrison camps also received news.

Zhongzhou was already afraid of the epidemic, and closed the city gates tightly, rejecting ships from Yangzhou. General Chen Ming hoarded medicines to spread the epidemic, and made preparations for a large-scale epidemic outbreak.

The garrison in the south of the Yangtze River is even more immobile, and the situation in Sangnan is unstable. At this time, if the epidemic spreads on a large scale and one person in the garrison camp is infected, it will harm the entire army and weaken the combat effectiveness. There is no need for Sangnan to raise troops.Marshal Fang was also very anxious, and sent three memorials to the capital in a row, asking the imperial court to send rescue personnel, and it would be best to send the imperial doctor from the palace to the south of the Yangtze River to study the epidemic.

Marshal Fang could only move food and medicinal materials and prepare to send them to Yangzhou. Knowing that Fang Lingjun was in Yangzhou, Marshal Fang couldn't easily send troops. He could go to Yangzhou personally, but the army absolutely couldn't.

Now that the news is cut off and the city gates of Yangzhou are closed, no news can come out. The bad situation in Yangzhou has spread across the two rivers, and the people affected by the disaster no longer move to Yangzhou, which relieves the pressure on Yangzhou to a certain extent.

Epidemics... What about epidemics?
In previous years, when the epidemic was rampant, it would take one to two years for the people to live in dire straits, but there had never been such a turmoil in Yangzhou. Marshal Fang was very worried, and hoped that the capital would come up with a solution.

Kyoto first received the news of Liangjiang’s disaster. Lin Heli quickly convened the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss countermeasures. The treasury was empty and food was in short supply.Now that money can’t produce food, the Ministry of Households is already short of money, and Zhongzhou still wants to solve the problems of the twelve prefectures, and is still waiting for the imperial court to allocate funds. The money for next year’s spring plowing cannot be moved. It is impossible to move.

There are natural disasters at this juncture, Gong Shangshu really wants to scold his mother, Jiangnan passed the rainy season this year peacefully, others think that there will be no floods, and it is normal for the water level to be higher. When the crops are irrigated in the next spring, who would have thought that there will be floods in winter.Liangjiang was seriously affected by the disaster. Lin Heli raised food in Beijing and sent people to Jiangnan. Most of the food was collected from the clan.
