King Xuan was speechless for a while.
He wanted to push Xiao Yuan away, but he was obviously weak due to the pain, and his hair was soaked with fragrant sweat.
After noticing her actions, Xiao Yuan not only did not let go, but instead forcefully hugged her into his arms, leaning her on his shoulders, and gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with his sleeves.
"Brother Wang, you!"
"Don't talk. Just lie down for a while. It will feel better."
His breath was right in front of him, and King Xuan's heart beat violently.
But at this moment, a hearty voice came from outside:
"Haha! Your Majesty, I have just hunted two pheasants, and I have the food for dinner tonight..."
Accompanying the words, Xu Hu stepped in. When he saw the situation inside, he immediately stopped talking, looked dumbfounded, and then said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't see anything..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and turned around to leave.
King Xuan was so embarrassed and angry that his face became even redder and he was about to push Xiao Yuan away in panic.
"Come back!" Xiao Yuan shouted to Xu Hu.
"Oh..." The latter turned back, lowered his head slightly, and did not forget to glance at Xiao Yuan and King Xuan secretly.
"Go and invite that female medical officer from Xuanguo."
"promise!"
Xu Hu took the order and left. After he left, King Xuan also struggled to get up.
Just now, the two of them were in the same posture as a couple, but they were caught by Xu Hu. She was still an inexperienced girl, how could she not be shy? At this time, her ears were burning red, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
The next day, the meeting place.
"Hey, why don't you see Sister Xuan?" As he spoke, King Ling looked around with confusion on his face.
Xiao Yuandao: "She may be a little uncomfortable."
"Yes, I, the king, have caught a cold and feel a little unwell. I am unable to attend the meeting. Please forgive me, Your Highnesses." Xie Hongling continued: "But if the Allies make any big decisions, I will report it to the king immediately."
"Okay." King Ling said as if he was the same as before: "It's already autumn, and the weather is getting colder. If you don't put on clothes in time, it's really easy to get sick. General Xie, please tell Princess Xuan for me that it's a good time. Take good care of yourself and get well soon."
"I will do it, Your Highness the Spirit King will take the trouble." Xie Hongling said politely.
"Okay, let's discuss the Pinggu War." King Ling said, and looked at Xiao Yuan: "What do you think of the current situation of the Urcha Division?"
Now, Urcha has been trapped for more than half a month. The siege in Pinggu is different from other places. Not only does there not be any reinforcements here, but also the food and grass are cut off.
Xiao Yuandao: "The trapped beasts are still fighting. The ghost army's willpower is still relatively tenacious. We have to admit this. But regarding Pinggu, we should not fight if we can, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties and being trapped to death. We still have to admit it." It’s the best policy.”
"But if we continue like this, I don't know how long we will be trapped. The army is out there, and a lot of food and grass are consumed every day." The Spirit King sighed.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, and was about to say something, but Cheng Ping stood up and said: "The Allied forces have been sieging the city for half a month. Judging from the empty city of Pinggu, plus our previous intelligence, the ghost army The supplies should have been exhausted in the past few days."
"They have nothing to eat now. For Urcha, they are already in a desperate situation. Under this desperate situation, we can roughly predict the next actions of the ghost army."
"What Master Cheng means... is it possible that the ghost army will make a final counterattack?" Yan Qi asked.
"That's for sure." Cheng Ping said: "Urcha has no choice. Either he will starve to death, or he can concentrate all his forces and make a fierce breakout. What do you think he will choose?"
"It makes sense, there is a breakout, and there is still a last glimmer of hope. Any general would make this choice."
Everyone nodded slowly.
Ye Gui sneered and said, "Then let them break out! Our defense line has already formed a tight encirclement. Anyone who dares to come will be killed!"
Cheng Ping said: "Having said that, this is the ghost army's last hope. Therefore, it will definitely be a desperate fight. The Allied soldiers may suffer casualties, but here, there is a plan that may reduce our number. unnecessary casualties to the military."
"Oh?" When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and looked at him. King Ling even urged: "Master Cheng, if you have any plans, tell me quickly."
"Yes." Cheng Ping gave him a salute first, and then said: "Since we know that the ghost army will break out, we can make preparations in advance, and then pretend to be defeated and retreat, leaving an empty camp for the ghost army, and in the camp Inside, leave some food and water sources.”
When Ye Gui heard this, he curled his lips and said, "Instead of surrounding them, we gave them food to replenish their strength. I'm really puzzled by this strategy, sir!"
"Haha." Cheng Ping smiled and said: "What will a very hungry person do when he sees food? He will pounce on it at all costs! By then, the ghost army will fight for food. When they are in a group, they will only think about filling their stomachs and will not care about anything else, so they can be easily destroyed."
The purpose of this strategy is obvious. There are still more than 30,000 ghost troops. Under their desire to survive, they will definitely fight to the death. In this way, even if the Allies can suppress them, they will pay a heavy price.
But now, if we follow what Cheng Ping said, the effect of the killing will be greatly different.
Ye Gui asked in a daze: "Sir, do you mean to make them disorderly with food first?"
"That's right." Cheng Ping said, "And in those foods, we can poison them in advance."
What! ? Everyone took a breath when they heard this.
When others poisoned, they were trying to kill an individual, but his poison actually wanted to kill an entire army!
Even Ye Gui couldn't help but swallowed: "Yes, but where do we have so much poison?"
"Do you need a lot of poison?" Cheng Ping said in a calm voice: "As long as the water source is poisoned and the water for kneading the dough is put into some highly poisonous water, wouldn't the steamed buns produced be filled with poison?"
"this……"
Ye Gui was dumbfounded, and everyone looked at each other.
Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed and he said faintly: "Master Cheng has a good plan, so let's act accordingly!"
It would be great to be able to annihilate one of the Urchas at the minimum cost.
He immediately realized that Cheng Ping's brilliance was not in killing with poison, but in using food to disrupt the fighting spirit of the ghost army, so he made the decision without any hesitation.
At this time, the Spirit King also reacted, nodded, and pretended to say: "Well, this strategy is good, I think it is feasible."
This is a vicious strategy. He knew that the ghost army was very hungry, but he used food to trap and kill them. Moreover, he used poison in military warfare. This shows that Cheng Ping is a man who will use any means to achieve his goals.
