Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"That incident is not Master Pei's fault."

Wang Zhengli's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Who would have thought that the Great Yan Emperor would come out in the end."

"But even so, Lord Pei's plan is incomparably brilliant. If it succeeds, it will be very convenient for our aristocratic family to act in the future."

"However, this plan can be said to be absolutely successful as long as it is implemented."

"There is no such thing as failure!"

"If this succeeds, our noble family will finally have a better life and can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Wang Zhengli sighed.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang became more curious. She gently picked up the letter, the letter written by Pei Ji.

She read it once, her pupils shrank rapidly, her heart began to beat fast, her face flushed, and she began to sweat.

"this…."

Mrs. Wang looked up in horror, her eyes wide open.

"Master, Master Pei wants to send smallpox to Dayan?"

"This, this, I'm afraid that my Tang Dynasty will also suffer by then."

Mrs. Wang's lips suddenly became cracked.

Her breathing was even more difficult.

She had never thought of this method.

smallpox!

He actually wanted to use smallpox to deal with Da Yan.

"Suffering?"

"Hehehe..."

Wang Zhengli drank all the nourishing soup in the bowl. He felt warm all over and rubbed his stomach comfortably. He slowly leaned back in the chair and tapped the chair door lightly with his fingers.

"What if the Tang Dynasty is in trouble?"

"The worst that can happen is that some civilians will die."

"But, Madam, as long as we release the smallpox to Dayan, Dayan will definitely pay a heavy price, and it may even collapse directly. By then, my family will really recover completely."

"As long as Da Yan is gone, as long as Da Yan can be contained, it's worth it even if some people die."

"Otherwise, in a few years, our aristocratic family will be dead."

"We are incompatible with Dayan."

"If Dayan doesn't die, we will die."

"It's okay to kill some civilians, but it can cause the Great Yan to collapse. This will hardly cause any loss to us. It will only benefit us. As for the civilians, even if some of them die, they can recover in a few years."

"By then, our aristocratic family will completely restore its former glory!"

As Wang Zhengli spoke, he tightly clenched the chair frame with both hands.

His breathing became rapid.

The sound made me even more excited and thrilled!
Obviously, between the aristocratic families and the common people, he chose the aristocratic families without any hesitation.

common people?

Tang Dynasty?
As long as it can benefit the aristocratic families, all of these can be abandoned and given up.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must seize it!
"Gudong..."

Mrs. Wang swallowed her saliva, but she also nodded. Of course, she understood this logic.

She also came from a noble family, otherwise she would not have married Wang Zhengli.

To preserve the aristocratic family is to preserve one's own prominence and to preserve the fine clothes and delicious food for one's descendants.

The master is right!
As long as Da Xia can be brought down, as long as Da Yan can be made to pay a painful price in blood, what does the death of some civilians matter?

Nothing counts!

Wang Zhengli stood up.

He picked up his clothes and walked out.

The matter is urgent and must be arranged now.

We will strive to get rid of smallpox in Da Yan as soon as possible, and also strive to make smallpox bloom everywhere in Da Yan!
As for the letter Li Shimin wrote to him, he had long forgotten it.

……

Changan.

When the letter from Tanzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Road was delivered to Chang'an, it was already four or five days later.

Although Tanzhou Prefecture is not far from Chang'an, it is only separated by Shannan Road.

However, the Shannan Road is too complicated after all, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk on. After going back and forth for a while, it was getting late.

In front of Mingde Gate.

The scout looked tired, but the blood-red flag was still fluttering behind him.

With the cold wind, it rustled.

During these four days, according to the general rules of the post stations, the scout commander could at least be replaced halfway, but he did not do so.

As Li Jing's personal guard, he had also witnessed the ruins around Tanzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Road. He was very clear about the responsibility of the urgent letter in his hand!
Smallpox is rampant!

Jiangnan fell!

This is such a huge disaster for the Tang Dynasty. If we are not careful, the whole world will fall into chaos. Who dares to delay?

Bang bang bang!
In front of Mingde Gate, the sound of the scout cavalry was very heavy!

There are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, and the streets are naturally prosperous. Big red lanterns have been hung in front of many shops, as well as various auspicious decorations, which looks extremely comfortable.

A year of hard work and a release at the end of the year.

Countless people were immersed in the celebration.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!!! It's urgent. We need to see His Majesty. Get out of the way quickly. If you are late, you will be killed without mercy!!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"..."

It was at this time that the scout rushed directly into the Mingde Gate, rushed towards the prosperous Suzaku Street, and headed straight for the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City.

All of a sudden, it caused chaos among countless people.

Some people wanted to shout and curse, but when they saw the blood-red flag behind the scout, their faces suddenly changed. They dared not to have any opinions and could only quickly move aside to make way.

The bloody flag of the Tang Dynasty!
One hundred thousand hot!
Countless eyes were fixed on the scout's rapidly receding back, their breathing exploded.

"What's going on? What happened? Why are you so flustered? Could it be that Dayan is attacking us?"

"That's not the case. It's almost Chinese New Year. Da Yan is also celebrating Chinese New Year. I don't understand why they would start a war against our Tang Dynasty at this time."

"Who said it wasn't? What on earth is going on? Where did this scout come from?

"Hiss...what's going on? I feel so confused. Could it be...that something is really going to happen to our Tang Dynasty?"

"What kind of trouble could possibly happen in our Tang Dynasty right now? I haven't heard of any trouble recently."

"Do you think it has something to do with the Duke of Chang'an that His Majesty urgently summoned not long ago?"

"Then... this? I don't know, but since the blood flag has come out, it must be a big deal. Your Majesty will definitely not be able to hide this matter. Wait a minute, wait a minute, we should know soon."

"Who says it's not true? Now that the blood flag has come out, I'm afraid this news won't be kept secret for long."

"Well, could it be because of what happened in Jiangnan Road? I heard that something happened in Jiangnan Road? But I don't know the details, but I just met some people who escaped from Tanzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Road not long ago. They were a family of seven and wanted to seek refuge with their relatives in Guannei Road."

"Jiangnan Road? What kind of trouble could there be in Jiangnan?"

"Who knows? I can't figure it out. Jiangnan Road and Tanzhou Prefecture are still quite far away from Chang'an."

"..."

On Suzaku Street, many people were talking about it, all of them were speculating.

However, all the guesses were like headless flies, and there was no clue at all. Even if some people had heard about things in Jiangnan Road before, or met some people from the south, they were still unable to be sure what had happened there.

In an instant, on this ordinary day that seems extraordinary because the Spring Festival is approaching, people are not only welcoming the Spring Festival, but also feeling a little dazed.

……

royal palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Shimin, Pei Ji, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were dealing with the urgent situation in Jiangnan Road. Although no accurate news had been reported yet, the smallpox issue was urgent and no chance of losing was allowed.

They have already started to prepare for various things, just in case.

"Your Majesty, we have no shortage of food now."

"Earlier, Your Majesty personally led the expedition to Jiannan Road. Didn't the subsequent grain transferred from Henan Road still not arrive? We didn't use much this year. I have already counted the remaining large amount of grain, and it can be transferred to Jiangnan Road at any time."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

Pei Ji pursed his lips, his expression normal. These words did not change his expression in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, I have instructed the Imperial Medical Bureau to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are sufficient for the needs of Jiangnan Province."

Wei Zheng also reported this.

"But as to whether it will work, I dare not guarantee it!"

"These herbs were prepared by me and the Imperial Medical Bureau. The Imperial Medical Bureau is also very nervous about smallpox. Most of these herbs are mild and nourishing."

Wei Zheng also reported.

Li Shimin looked at the list in his hand and nodded slowly.

After hearing what the two said, the nervousness in his heart was somewhat relieved.

"Now, I am just thinking that the smallpox incident in Jiangnan Road can be smaller and easier to control."

"otherwise…."

Li Shimin did not finish his words, but took a deep breath. How could Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Pei Ji not understand what Li Shimin said?
If smallpox cannot be controlled, to be honest, no matter how much preparation they make, it will be of no use.

At that time, how could the whole world, the Tang Dynasty, be saved? How could the Tang Dynasty control it?

Smallpox, this devil!
demon!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"No, our reaction speed is fast compared to previous dynasties..."

Pei Ji comforted.

But before he could finish his words, someone rushed in from outside the door.

He knelt directly at the entrance of the hall and did not go in.

There was no other reason, because he had just come from Jiangnan Road, so naturally, he could not get close to Li Shimin.

"His Majesty!"

"I greet your majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this is the report that General Li Jing personally wrote to you. Please review it!"

The scout roared hoarsely.

In an instant,
Li Shimin, Pei Ji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng all looked towards the door of the hall, knelt on the ground, holding the letters in their hands.

Li Shimin suddenly stood up and was about to rush down.

"His Majesty!"

"Warrior, just throw the letter in your hand over here."

"Your Majesty is worth a million dollars. In such a matter, Your Majesty must ensure your own safety. Warrior, you just came from Tanzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Road, so it is better not to get too close to Your Majesty."

"Please forgive me, warrior. The reward will be doubled!"

Fang Xuanling grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve.

The scout heard this and listened to Fang Xuanling's explanation. Of course he understood it clearly. And because Fang Xuanling explained it in detail, he didn't mind it much.

"Your Excellency is right. Then, Your Majesty, you will stand there."

After saying that, he threw it out.

Snapped!
The bamboo slips containing the letter fell directly at Li Shimin's feet.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and waved his hand.

"Come here, serve them well, and the reward will be doubled! Let the soldiers have a good rest!"

After saying that, he couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly took out the letter.

Pei Ji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were standing on one side, all craning their necks.

There was a sudden silence in the Ganlu Palace.

Time seems to be passing very slowly at this moment.

"hiss…."

As he watched, Wei Zheng shuddered and couldn't help but take a breath.

The whole person's breathing felt hot.

Li Jing wrote this letter in great detail.

After they entered Jiangnan Road, it was recorded that they went all the way to Tanzhou Prefecture.

The situation in Jiangnan Road jumped before everyone's eyes.

All became clear in an instant.

"Oh my God!"

"Is the situation in Tanzhou Prefecture already so critical?"

"Not only are all the surrounding villages in serious condition, but even... Tanzhou Prefecture is already riddled with problems?"

Wei Zheng's voice trembled.

The situation in Jiangnan Road was worse than they had previously predicted.

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned dark.

The plans they had made before seemed a little pale in this report.

Although Li Jing said in his letter that there were not many casualties in Tanzhou Prefecture for the time being, with only a few people dying every day, they all knew in their hearts that although Tanzhou Prefecture might seem relatively peaceful now, a catastrophe was brewing secretly without their knowledge.

terror!
Blast!

Asphyxiation!

silence!

Dead!

The temperature in the hall seemed to be able to freeze the breath they exhaled.

The stove in the middle seemed to be of no use at all.

“I didn’t expect that things would come to this.”

"Then, what should we do?"

Li Shimin raised his head blankly and looked at the three people standing next to him.

The three of them looked extremely ugly.

"this…."

"Your Majesty, we can no longer delay. The severity of smallpox has been described in every dynasty."

"We have to take action now."

Fang Xuanling growled.

"let's move?"

“Yes, we have to take action.

"but…."

Li Shimin pursed his lips: "But, how should we act?"

His voice was completely hoarse and his mind was somewhat blank.

confirmed!
It has been completely confirmed!

To be honest, they had a little hope before, thinking that Dayan was just trying to fool them. At that time, when they were allocating supplies, they felt relatively relaxed. But now...
The matter has been completely confirmed.

A catastrophe has begun to brew.

All of a sudden, everyone was panicked.

When asked by Li Shimin, Pei Ji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were all stunned at the same time.

Yes!

We all know that we need to take action, but how should we act?

The three of them swallowed together, looking at each other, completely at a loss as to what to do.

After a moment, Fang Xuanling spoke again: "Well, Your Majesty, smallpox is not something we are too unfamiliar with. Every dynasty has had ways to deal with it." (End of this chapter)
