A carriage left Xinzheng and headed towards Qifeng City. Ziyou in the car had already explained the matter clearly to several people. Mo Ya and Bai Feng who were driving outside the car also had shocked faces. The commander of the army was poisoned. This is such a shocking thing.
"The high fever persists and I am unconscious. This kind of poison is too much." Yan Lingji shook her head and said.
Among these people, Yan Lingji is the only one who has knowledge of medical and poison techniques. When he was in Baiyue, Tianze was the prince of Baiyue, and Yan Lingji was his book secret officer to help him deal with some documents, and Yan Lingji entered Baiyue's library casually to look through it, so for a while Over time, Yan Lingji's experience has increased a lot, and the four things Baiyue is most indispensable for are poison, medicine, and witchcraft.
"After all, Wei State is not the original Korea, and it should not know so many things about Baiyue. I have already sent someone to ask for Mr. Nianduan." Ziyou said.
For things like poisoning, it is best to leave it to professionals. Although Confucianism also has people who study medical skills, such as his teacher Xunzi, but these people are not around, so it is better to go directly to Mr. Nianduan.
"Could it be the poison poisoned by Wei Jun?" Xue Nu asked.
"Probably not. The pride in Lian Po's heart would not allow him to do this. Moreover, although poisoning on the battlefield is not explicitly prohibited, it is also a mutually agreed upon thing that is not allowed. Otherwise, these people's own safety will not be guaranteed." Guaranteed." Ziyou said.
It doesn't matter if you poison during a non-war period, but if you poison during a war, even if you win in the end, you will have to bear the reputation of a bad character, and you will be criticized and scolded in the spine. . Moreover, once this kind of thing fails and is exposed, it will lead to an increase in the enemy's morale. No matter what the result is, a veteran like Lian Po will never do such a thing.
"Could it be someone else? Someone from Wei State paid a lot of money to pay for the murder?" Xue Nu continued to ask.
When it came to buying a murderer to kill, Ziyou didn't answer. The whole thing was very illogical now. Ziyou could only say that he would make a conclusion after seeing Wang Ben's situation.
As Ziyou was on his way, the head of the Jing family had already arrived at the Wei army camp with his army, and Lian Po had already met with the head of the Jing family.
"Xinping-kun!" said the head of the Jing family, cupping his hands.
"Jing Sima." Lian Po returned the greeting.
In the Chu Kingdom of Fu Chu, Fu Chu is the king of Chu. The head of the Jing family is the Grand Sima who is in charge of the military. The head of the Zhao family is Ling Yi, who is responsible for commanding the civil servants. The head of the Qu family is still in the position of Tai Ao, responsible for handling and commanding the entire powerful family. class. The division of labor between the three companies made it clear that they did not give Fu Chu any intention of getting involved in political power, but only allowed Fu Chu to exist like a mascot.
"What's the situation with the Qin army now?" asked the head of the Jing family.
"Han Yu, the fourth son of South Korea, took the old nobles of South Korea who were living abroad and burned the grain and grass of the Qin army in Xinzheng. Our spies returned from the investigation and found that the Qin army had begun to collect grain and grass in the city. Before, it was still done quietly, but now Li Xin is It is a direct and undisguised collection of food and grass.
Our spies in Xinzheng also sent back news that the area around the grain depot was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to explore. The Xinzheng defenders were also searching for something in the mountains day and night. "Lian Po said with a smile.
Based on the information from their spies, Lian Po concluded that the Qin army's grain and grass must have been burned. Otherwise, no one was allowed to approach the grain and grass warehouse for three miles, and the soldiers strictly guarded it. This was simply because they were afraid that the news of the burning of Xinzheng's grain and grass would spread. Almost the entire Xinzheng garrison was dispatched to search for something in the mountains. Apart from people like Han Yu, Lian Po couldn't think of anyone else. It couldn't be gold, right?
A series of abnormal actions by Xinzheng and the Qin army made Zai Lian Po increasingly believe that the Qin army was really in trouble with its logistics.
"So the Qin army is short of food and grass, and the army may not be able to support it. Why don't we take action now?" The head of the Jing family asked, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, what a good opportunity this is. The head of the Jing family doesn't know. Why doesn't Lian Po take action now?
Lian Po shook his head and said
"Although the Qin army is short of food and grass, it does not mean that they have not reached the last moment, and the Qin army can also plunder a lot of food and grass by relying on Qifeng City. Now is not the time. I predict that the Qin army's food and grass will be completely destroyed in the next two days. Exhausted, if the Qin army wants to escape by then, we may not be able to stop it. In the past few days, I have sent people to detour to both sides of Qifeng City. I will wait until the Qin army's camp is attacked from the front and their retreat is cut off to ensure the Qin army. Completely give up all thoughts about Wei."
Lian Po, who had experienced the Battle of Changping, knew the importance of logistics. The current Qin and Wei armies are very similar to the original Qin and Zhao armies, but it is Lian Po who now has the advantage in logistics, not Qin. King Ben. What's more important is that Lian Po knows how crazy hungry people are. When Zhao Kuo was defeated in the Battle of Changping and Zhao Jun broke through, these half-starved Zhao Jun showed such a strong desire to survive that often hundreds of people could defeat more than a thousand in order to rush out. Therefore, Lian Po had to wait until the Qin army completely ran out of food and grass.
Moreover, Lian Po himself also had selfish motives. If the Qin army's grain and grass were burned, he would definitely collect and transport new grain and grass. After these days of confrontation, Wei's grain and grass could not sustain it, and if the Qin army was defeated, there would definitely be another battle in the future. There was going to be a long confrontation. In order to ensure that the Wei army could hold out until the Qin army completely retreated to Yingchuan County, this batch of food and grass was indispensable.
According to Lian Po's calculations, the Qin army's grain and grass will probably be delivered not far from Qifeng in the future, and the target of the flanking army is this batch of grain and grass. For things like food and grass, of course, the more the better, if the head of the Jing family knew about it, he would definitely come and take a share of the pie, so Lian Po would say that this would cut off the Qin army's retreat.
Lian Po Mingyi obeyed Lord Changping's order to support Wei State, so the head of the Jing family had no objection to this and just nodded in agreement.
"Since Mr. Xinping has already prepared, I won't say anything more. My army of 100,000, Mr. Xinping, can command it at will. I won't ask any more questions." The head of the Jing family said.
If Xiang Yan comes, the head of the Jing family will not dare to do this, but the commander is Lian Po, and there is no political conflict between the three families of Qu Jingzhao and Lian Po, and Wei Guo promised that as long as the Qin army is defeated, the lost territory will be recovered. The four cities occupied by Wei will be returned.
The head of the Jing family knows how much he has. Handing over the army to Lian Po will greatly increase the victory rate. In addition, Lian Po is an ally of Lord Changping. They are Lord Changping's allies. Everyone can say that. Allies, that's why the head of the Jing family is so cheerful.
Seeing the head of the Jing family who was so cheerful and without any doubts, Lian Po couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After all, he had concealed the information about this food and grass. Anyone could understand what a fortune it was to have food and grass for an army of hundreds of thousands. .
Only when Wei survives and confronts the Qin army can Zhao compete with Qin again. Thinking of this, Lian Po can only bury this guilt in his heart.
Seeing the guilt in Lian Po's eyes, the head of the Jing family thought that Lian Po was grateful and embarrassed for handing over the power of the army when he first arrived. Thinking that Lian Po, an old general like him, could feel grateful to him, the head of the Jing family I suddenly felt very proud.
"Mr. said.
Hearing what the head of the Jing family said, Lian Po felt even more guilty.
At the same time, in a dense forest outside Qifeng City.
"Why hasn't the news come back from the Qin Army camp?" A man wearing a black hat asked anxiously.
"If the coach was poisoned and this news was leaked, the Qin army would have been in chaos." An Guojun said with a sword in his left hand. At this time, the sleeve of An Guojun's right hand was empty, and An Guojun had already put the wasted hand It was cut down and thrown away.
After hearing An Guojun's words, the man said nothing more. An Guojun looked at the man with a hint of imperceptible contempt in his eyes. The man was a descendant of the Gods just like him, but he was just a Guizhou leader. He had all the power but no brain. Without knowing the basic principles of the art of war, if the Qin Army's commander was poisoned and fell unconscious, the Qin Army would immediately let the news spread. That would be the most dangerous thing.
"There is no need to doubt my identity. Although I cannot cast plague at will like the ancestor gods, it is still easy to poison in secret." A man wearing a black hat appeared on the tree trunk and said.
When An Guojun and another man in a black hat saw the man appear, they immediately chose to distance themselves silently. After all, the ancestor god the man mentioned was the legendary god of plague. The magical power inherited by a man is also related to the use of poison. If you are not careful, you will be poisoned by him.
The God of Plague has long been accustomed to the actions of Lord An Guo and the man.
"Wenqu, Wuqu, I have done my job, and I will leave the rest to you." The God of Plague said calmly.
"Just leave the rest to me. Where is that person now?" Wu Qu asked.
"We should be almost at the border now. We are lying in wait on the only way from Yuguan to Qifeng." An Guojun said.
"Okay, I have long wanted to experience the strength of this world-famous Mr. Ziyou." Wu Qu laughed.
At this time, Zi You, who had arrived at the border of Qin and Wei, looked at the carriage in front of him in surprise. Zi You was very familiar with this carriage, especially the driver, but the woman Zi You who was also sitting outside the carriage was not. acknoledged.
Looking at Ziyou in front of him, Chuiliyi immediately jumped off the carriage and saluted Ziyou.
"Disciple pays homage to teacher!"
"Yi, why are you here?" Ziyou asked with some confusion.
Before Qi Liyi could reply, Xunzi and Ji Yan got out of the carriage. After seeing Xunzi and Ji Yan, Ziyou had more doubts in his heart. Since the failure of the battle over sex, he claimed to study knowledge behind closed doors. In fact, he was afraid of being embarrassed and the teacher stopped going out of Songhai. Why are you here in Yingchuan County now?
