Gongsun Wulou opened his mouth wide: "This, this mission..."
The black robe nodded and said in a deep voice to Duan Hui and He Lanlu: "Two generals, now that Liu Yu's troops have passed Daxian, whether it is a large army or a small force, it has proven that he will be here We are going to fight a decisive battle, so we ask the two generals to work harder and quickly reorganize their troops and prepare for battle. Even if Liu Yu's army has really crossed the mountain, we must at least hold Linqu until His Majesty arrives."
Duan Hui and Helan Lu looked at each other, stood up, and gave military salutes to the black robes: "Serve Dayan, even to the death!"
Gongsun Gui, who was the guard of Linqu City, blinked: "If General Gongsun Wulou goes to fight, will it require General Helan and General Duan..."
The black robe said coldly: "General Gongsungui doesn't have to worry about this. Your task is to prepare the weapons and food in Linqu City, select the young men in the city, and work with Murong She, the governor of Bingzhou, to arrange the various routes for King Qin. Volunteers, be prepared for battle, especially to strengthen the defense of Linqu City, we are about to enter a wartime state now."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Gongsun Fifth Floor: "General Fifth Floor, as for how to fight this battle, we will discuss it later. Are there any questions?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded quickly and said: "Everything depends on the arrangement of the national master."
The black robe paused the wolf-head peach wood stick in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this battle is related to Dayan's national destiny. Please perform your duties and settle down. Victory must belong to Murong Dayan!"
A quarter of an hour later, only Heipao and Gongsun were left on the fifth floor of the General's Mansion, which was crowded just now. The nearest guard had also retreated outside the three main gates to ensure that no one could listen to their conversation. When he arrived, Gongsun Wulou said with a mournful face: "Master, you don't know that I have asked me to fight Liu Yu for water now, isn't that asking for death?"
The black robe said coldly: "Look at your cowardice, you have really lost all my people. It's not like I want you to fight against Liu Yu's army, it's just a trip to Jumi Water."
Gongsun Wulou's eyes lit up: "National Master, what do you mean?"
The black robe sneered: "Don't even think about it. If I really want to block the Jumi Water, I can just ask Duan Hui to camp on the north side of the water when he withdraws. Why bother with this? I don't want Liu Yu's soldiers to drink. Instead of drinking water, I want them to drink my poisonous water!”
Gongsun Wulou opened his eyes wide: "Is this okay?"
A sinister look flashed in the black robe's eyes: "According to the ancient method of the desert, there is mysterious witchcraft. You can find those cattle and sheep that have died of illness, curse them, and then throw the sick cattle and sheep to the water source. In this way Come on, there are toxins carried by these rotting animals in this running water. If a person drinks the water into his stomach or brain, it will make him mad, like an epilepsy. When the Xiongnu fought against the Han army in Mobei, this was used This move polluted a large amount of water sources and caused a large number of Han troops to become ill. Even Huo Qubing, the general of the Hussars, fell ill because of it and died soon after returning."
Gongsun Wulou wanted to laugh at first, but then his expression changed: "But, but if this happens, won't the water source be polluted? Then from now on we, the people of Nanyan..."
The black robe sneered: "How long have you cared about the life and death of a few old Han farmers? These Han people who work for us are like dogs and sheep, and they don't regret death. Now they have all gone to Liu Yu. If If we lose this battle, they will join Liu Yu and fight us in turn. Finish this battle first. If some farmers who drink this water die here in the future, it will be because there was a big war here and there are many innocent souls. The devil is just asking for his life. Anyway, this giant water is also living water. If it rushes for three to five years, it will be fine. But no matter what, we have to finish this battle first, do you understand?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded in sudden realization, but still couldn't bear it: "But, does this really work? It is said that running water can wash away all toxins. This is not the kind of water pool in Mobei. Moreover, according to the Han people's It is said that using poison, fire attacks and other methods to kill and injure the enemy abnormally is detrimental to one's moral character, and I am afraid that disaster will happen in the future."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the black robe's eyes, causing Gongsun Wulou to take half a step back slightly. He only heard him say gloomily: "Disaster is coming? Then your Lord Gongsun killed the late emperor. In the past few years, he has sold his official position and his title." , I have done all the bad things, what kind of retribution do you think there will be?"
Gongsun Wulou's face was swollen and turned purple like a pig's liver, but his body was trembling slightly.
The black robe sighed and said in a low voice: "If it were normal times, it would be okay if some methods were not used, but Liu Yu is not an ordinary person. You also know that the way of fighting this time was not chosen by me, but insisted on by His Majesty. He believes that victory can be achieved by relying solely on armor and cavalry, but in fact, you have also seen that veteran generals such as Duan Hui and Helan Lu do not think so. Even the old man Murong Zhen has the same view. You young people I don’t know how to fight, but these veterans have been fighting for their entire lives. If they really lose, then all the glory and wealth you have gained over the years will be returned to you twice as much, and that’s when your retribution will truly come!”
Gongsun Wulou gritted his teeth: "National Master, I understand. I will do as you say. However, I only brought five thousand cavalry here this time. Can I really complete this mission?"
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "I'm not asking you to defeat the Jin army. I'm just throwing a few sick sheep into the water source. What's wrong? Liu Yu's vanguard troops are recruiting local people everywhere in the prefectures and counties in the north of Shanxi. As for the village, if he really arrived with a large army, would he need to do this? He would have marched towards Linqu at full speed. So you don’t have to worry. Even if he comes to Linqu, he will only have a few dozen reconnaissance cavalry at most. Do you think there are five thousand? Are the iron cavalry even afraid of these dozens of cavalry?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded: "Then I'll do as you wish. However, my brother Gongsun Gui has been in the army for a long time and is more familiar with fighting than me. Is this battle going to let him..."
The black robe said coldly: "Do you want many people to know about the wizard's curse and poisoning of the water source? Not to mention your brothers, they are just the few wizards who went to release the sick sheep with you this time. You have to deal with it after you come back. If you don't want to offend yourself, then don't let too many people know about such cruel things, including your brother!"
Gongsun Wulou breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll get ready right now." He turned around and trotted out of the general's mansion.
The black robe looked at his leaving back, shook his head, and turned to look at the rafters: "Minmin, I have to ask you for help this time."
