The sky was slightly bright, the shops in Baishan City were opened sporadically, and Bai Shaoqing led the troops to the camp with tiredness. These days, the 20,000 horses he brought with him have eaten and lived with the soldiers of Baishan, and have taken on the responsibility of patrolling and defending Baishan City.

"General Bai, this is a radish that has just been dug up, bring a basket back-" Passing by the vegetable vendor, Uncle Zhang, who was selling vegetables, picked up a basket of radishes and stuffed them into Bai Shaoqing's arms, Bai Shaoqing pushed the basket and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, we don't dare to accept this, the army has its own rules, but you want me to violate military discipline and be punished by Lord Hou." ”

"It's just a basket of radishes!" Uncle Zhang was a little anxious when he heard that, Bai Shaoqing had led someone to repair the house that collapsed due to the heavy snowfall, he was grateful in his heart, and wanted to express his gratitude, but because he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't take out anything good, who expected that even a basket of radishes would be rejected now.

"Uncle Zhang, we have the imperial court to pay the salary, you still keep this radish to sell it to support your family, eat the king's Lu and be loyal to the king, the people of the world are the emperor's courtiers, these are what we should do. After Bai Shaoqing finished speaking, he put the radish on the ground, smiled at Uncle Zhang, and walked away.

The barracks were already full of people, the soldiers who had just been training had just rested, the cold winter was steep, and the soldiers who had just gotten off the training ground were thinly clothed and covered in hot sweat.

"The general go wash your face, and I'll bring it to you when breakfast is ready." Wu Hesheng saw Bai Shaoqing's tired look, and hurriedly pushed him into the tent, and said, "You replaced a few people one night, and you went to sleep at this time." ”

Bai Shaoqing stretched his body, nodded and said, "Okay." Then he smiled again and said, "If I fall asleep, don't wake me up, just save a meal for the camp." ”

When Wu Hesheng saw him laughing, he couldn't help laughing and turned around to leave.

Relying on the good foundation of his body, Bai Shaoqing has been really hard these days, Baishan City faces Heboduo's Kebutuo, and always suffers from snow disasters in winter, these days he took people and the Baishan garrison to help the people in the city repair their houses, rebuild the defensive walls on all sides, and led people to patrol and stand guard at night, and always fell asleep after returning to the camp, and the same is true today.

When he heard the noise, Bai Shaoqing was still in ignorance, his mind was not awake, and he heard the noise outside the tent too loud, so he patted his forehead, got up, grabbed his coat and walked out.

"What's going on?!" Seeing that there were anxious-looking soldiers running around outside the tent, Bai Shaoqing's heart sank, and he reached out and grabbed a person and asked loudly.

"Medium...... Poisoned ......" The soldier was covered with beads of sweat and ran out of breath, and there were many soldiers beside him who carried the poisoned soldier on their backs and ran to the camp tent of the army doctor, Bai Shaoqing let go of the man and ran a few steps forward, and found that many people had gathered layer upon layer next to the camp of the army doctor.

What's going on? Why is this happening all of a sudden?

Before thinking about it, Bai Shaoqing walked towards the boss's tent, but when he got there, he didn't see anyone, and there were chaotic shouts around him, and the scene made him a little dazed for a while.

What's going on?

"General-" Wu Hesheng shouted at him from afar, Bai Shaoqing walked through the crowd, and when he arrived at Wu Hesheng's side, he saw that he was also beads of sweat on his face, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "What's the situation?"

"Maybe there is a problem with the grain and grass, after eating in the morning, the soldiers are all down, there are more and more people here, I have been to Dr. Mu and Dr. Li, and said that it seems to be poisoned, but the grain and grass were escorted all the way by us, so many people on the road also ate it and were fine, and it was fine a few days ago, why is it suddenly poisonous?"

Bai Shaoqing pushed him after hearing this, and said, "Go and help, I'll go to the granary to have a look." ”

When he arrived at the nearest granary, seeing that Meng Changlong and Nangong Mo had already arrived there, Bai Shaoqing hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran over. Nangong Mo was holding a silver needle in his hand, and he was probing a pot of churning hot water, the rice in the pot was not yet cooked, but even so, the silver needle had already changed color.

Sure enough, there was a problem with the food!

Seeing Bai Shaoqing coming, Meng Changlong raised his hand to him, but did not speak, Nangong Mo picked up another silver needle and went to probe a small pot next to him.

"Master Hou, as you expected, not all food is problematic. "There were a dozen small pots set up near the granary, and in front of each pot were probed silver needles, some of which were discolored, and some of which were not in the slightest.

"These were all grain from nearby granaries, and now it seems that eight of them are in trouble. Meng Changlong looked up as he spoke, sighed softly, and said, "This poisonous grain is separated by a warehouse, which can only explain one problem. ”

Bai Shaoqing had already understood his words, frowned, and said, "Someone deliberately poisoned it, otherwise the boundary would not be so clear." ”

"It seems that this white mountain has been mixed in. Looking back at the dense camp tent in the distance, Meng Changlong couldn't help but have a worried face, and said, "Go and find the guards on duty yesterday to check carefully, and see if there is anything suspicious——"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a scout galloping in the distance, and when he got close, he jumped down and shouted: "Report - Heboduo horses have been found near Qimai Mountain in the southwest. ”

"How many people?" Meng Changlong asked loudly after a few steps in front of the scout.

"There are only more than 100 people, and they are evacuating towards Kebutuo. ”

"I'll go!" Before Meng Changlong could speak, Bai Shaoqing had already jumped on the horse and said, "I'll take someone to pursue." ”

"Beware!"

"Yes!" Bai Shaoqing went straight to the place where he was stationed, ordered a few hundred people and horses to go out of the city.

"Where is the general going?" Fang Wenzheng saw that the group of men and horses were in a hurry, grabbed a horse and followed up, Bai Shaoqing turned around and saw that it was him, and shouted: "Your wound has not healed, go back!"

Fang Wenzheng shook his head fiercely and said, "I'm not leaving, there is such a big thing in the barracks, and I have to do my part." ”

The horse was extremely fast, and he had already rushed out of the city gate while speaking, seeing that he refused to turn back, Bai Shaoqing no longer stopped him, but turned around and shouted to everyone: "Chase to the southwest, try to stay alive." The wind and snow were extremely large, and the snow particles smashed down on the head and face, blurring the vision, but the sky was as gloomy as the night, and the group of hundreds of people pursued all the way, and finally found the traces of the other party in a hundred miles.

It was too coincidental that these people appeared here just after an accident in the barracks, but it was impossible to sneak into the city, so they must have someone to answer.

"Outflank them from both ends, stop them!" The team instantly split into two columns, weaving through the frozen trees of the ice edges, and heading for both ends.

The other party was so close that they could even hear the conversation in their mouths, and the extremely fast speed of speech showed their eagerness at the moment. When the alien costume jumped into view, Bai Shaoqing slapped his horse and stood up, buckled the bow and crossbow behind him, and shot three arrows in the air, and the long arrow whistled and directly knocked down the three people, with the convergence of the two teams, a cruel battle unfolded in the vast world of heaven and earth!

"Ahh

Hearing the screams, Bai Shaoqing looked back and saw that one of his soldiers was injured by the opponent's sword, but he died in an instant on that small wound.

"Poison on the sword!" As soon as the warning sounded out of the mouth, several more people died due to minor cuts.

"General-" Fang Wenzheng split a person and quickly approached Bai Shaoqing: "The lives of the brothers are at stake, and I can't take care of much!" What he was referring to was, of course, the meaning of Bai Shaoqing's words left behind, Bai Shaoqing saw that the shape was pressing, so he shook the long sword in his hand and said, "There is no forgiveness for killing!"

The corners of his lips raised slightly, and an imperceptible smile flashed away, Fang Wenzheng tightened his long sword and said softly: "Order!"

It was already ten o'clock when the party returned to Baishan, and the guards on the city wall were silent after the group entered the city gate, because many of the people who had gone out on horseback had already become silent corpses when they returned.

Bai Shaoqing pursed his lips tightly, and slowly walked at the end of the line, his handsome face was showing a hideous color because of the mottled blood stains at the moment, and his heart was full of anger, for the brother who had just died, and for the soldiers who had fallen from poisoning in the Baishan military camp.

Although the soldiers in the battle are not tired of deceit, but the means are so despicable that he really despises and spurns.

The barracks are brightly lit, and the corpses of the soldiers who died due to incuria are gathered in one place, so that others can't bear the sadness, if the place where they fell is the battlefield where the war horses neigh, maybe there is no such pain with helplessness, after all, that kind of sacrifice and dedication is meaningful, and now, it is so unclear to die!

The entire camp was shrouded in sorrow, Bai Shaoqing went directly to the commander's camp after getting off the horse, Meng Changlong and Nangong Mo were standing in front of the sand table discussing something, and when they saw him come in, they all paused.

"People, they are all dead, their swords are fed with poison, our soldiers have also broken a lot, Shaoqing is not doing well, please punish Master Hou. ”

Looking up and seeing Bai Shaoqing's tired appearance, Meng Changlong walked over and grabbed his shoulders, pulled him to the table and sat down.

"The two armies are facing each other, casualties are inevitable, I know you want to come back and figure out this matter, but even if you do, they may not be able to say it, and now we have a bigger problem in front of us. ”

Bai Shaoqing listened to what he said, thought for a while, and said: "The poisonous grain is naturally destroyed, and in this way, the reserve of this Baishan will be difficult to be self-sufficient, if you ask for help at this moment, there are many people in Jiuyuan, and the grain and grass must be kept sufficient, so it is not so much, and if it is written to the east, it is not known whether it can be reached, even if it arrives, it will take time to delay back and forth, and wait for the grain and grass to be ready and transported, it will not be a day and night......."

"Hmm. Meng Changlong nodded approvingly and said, "So, I have an idea with Mr. Nangong." ”

followed Meng Changlong to the sand table, and wherever his fingertips went, Bai Shaoqing's eyes suddenly widened: "Does Master Hou want to enter Yiyun from Nagano and seize grain and grass?"
