IV. 74 There is no poison than food
"I don't know if it's going to work. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Oh, what's the trick for Xiaohe?"
"As far as I know, there are two sources of food that they have brought to the front, one is carried by the place of origin, and the other is replenished by the states and counties they pass through along the way, and since we can't touch what they are looking at, why don't we start from the source, from all the places that can supply them with food, so that they have no food to collect?"
Hearing this, Yin Lei's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help blurting out praise: "Xiaohe, I really didn't see that you are so wise, yes, let's start from the source, Brother Min, immediately investigate the grain depots in all states and counties, and see that there is a lot of surplus grain, as far as I know, General Liu is discussing with Lord Yang of the garrison about changing grain, if we take the opportunity to destroy Taiping's grain, hehe, I see how Liu Zongbing's grain will be transported out of Taiping City." ”
"I'll do it."
"Check the granary of Taiping first, and I will make other arrangements for other places."
"Yes."
With that, Min Zhengxing turned around and was about to go out.
"Brother Min, wait a minute."
"What does the head of the house command?"
"Can you get a trebuchet here?"
After listening to Yin Lei's words, Min Zhengxing was in a hurry, do you want a trebuchet stone? What other uses does this thing have for besides siege?
But after thinking about it, he still nodded and said, "The head of the family can do it if needed, and now that our people have withdrawn from the city, there is nothing to do." ”
"Very good, how much can you get?"
"We can still make 10 pieces a day with our manpower."
"Can you transport it to the vicinity of the drying ground in the south of the city?"
"Ah...... do you want to start with the grain that is drying?"
"Not bad.
"It's a little difficult, though...... The effective distance of the trebuchet is 100 to 150 zhang, and we can install it far away from the drying ground. ”
"You can solve this problem, and collect rotten, moldy, spoiled, insects and other food for me, the more the better."
"Could it be that the family wants to invest in these things?"
"Yes, we only have one chance to throw, the drying ground must be guarded by the top masters, if we throw three times, the people who dispatch may not even have the chance to escape, and the grain they dry has more than 20,000 stones, even if we have fifty trebuchets at a time, it is only more than 200 stones, even if we throw sand and gravel, people can not see it all, only these things can give them a headache."
"Master Xuanyuan, we can soak some rice in it with poison, and then throw some colored water into it, so that they can't tell the difference."
Yin Lei was also stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but show a smile on his face and said: "Yes, it's better to take Xiaohe's method, take another hundred stone rice and soak it in poison, remember to add color to the poisoned rice so as not to really eat the dead, and throw some water with the same color, I don't believe they still pick it out, hehe." ”
"Yes, Master."
Min Zhengxing's forehead broke out in cold sweat when he listened, it was really the most poisonous woman's heart, this method was thought of, it seemed that it would be better to offend women less in the future, thinking of this, he had already gone out.
Seeing Min Zheng walking away, Zhu Sicheng said: "Brother Xuanyuan, I'm afraid that after this incident, their monks will no longer be transported in a centralized manner, if their people are scattered, what should we do?" ”
"If I really couldn't help it just now, now I have a countermeasure, but this will make ordinary people suffer."
"Brother Xuanyuan means ......?"
"The general county grain depot is not strictly guarded, and there are few natural disasters in ordinary times. So I'm going to set a time to burn down all the grain depots in all the states, counties, and prefectures south of Taiping Town. ”
As he spoke, Yin Lei's eyes shot cold and lightning and couldn't help but raise his right hand and squeeze it fiercely, Zhu Sicheng next to him glanced at Yin Lei and secretly congratulated himself that he didn't choose to be his enemy...... It sends chills down my back just thinking about it.
"Ah...... Xuanyuan Gongzi, I'm going to starve to death this time."
Yin Lei glanced at Ye Xiaohe and said softly: "Xiaohe, don't worry, someone will save the food if it catches fire, it would be good to burn half of it at a time, so that there is less grain stored in various places, no matter how tight the military is to collect grain, the magistrates will not let all the people starve to death, they will find a way to do it themselves, in case there is no food, they are unlucky, and they are more nervous than anyone else about their throne." ”
Qingye Xiaohe said with some doubts: "But no matter how little surplus grain there is, it can't be collected at all?" ”
"I'll leave them a few wealthier places then."
"What do you mean by ......?"
"Did you see yesterday? Even immortals are no different from mortals when they are unguarded, and I will lay ambushes in these places and wait for their ....... ”
After listening to Yin Lei's words, Qingye Xiaohe's master and servant couldn't help but glance at each other, Yin Lei's reaction was fast and his thinking was far more delicate than ordinary people.
"So what do we do now?"
"We have two things to do now, one is to wait for Brother Min to inquire about the Taiping granary, and the other is to find out the relics of ten thousand madmen."
Qingye Xiaohe couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "But we have searched for the four city gates, and there is nothing abnormal at all." ”
"Xiaohe, don't worry, we forgot one thing, five hundred years ago, Iron and Blood Province was still the world of Lin Kingdom, was this Taiping Town also called Taiping at that time? Maybe there was another Taiping five hundred years ago, and even if it was called Taiping before, the city wall at that time didn't need to be built as high as eight zhang, the city wall we saw was built at most two hundred years ago, how could it be related to ten thousand madmen? ”
Listening to Yin Lei's words, Zhu Sicheng showed a wry smile and said: "We didn't expect such an obvious thing, it really blindfolded the treasure."
"Brother Zhu doesn't have to blame himself, I didn't think about it so much before, it was because you couldn't find me that I thought of it, Brother Min said that this Taiping is in the hands of our Dragon Kingdom for most of the time, he must be very familiar with this place, and when he comes back, I will ask him about the situation here."
Then Yin Lei took out a few fakes from his arms again, handed them to Zhu Sicheng, Qingye Xiaohe, and studied them carefully.
Half an hour later, Min Zhengxing hurried back, and as soon as he came in, he said to Yin Lei: "Family master, I have already ordered the things you have explained, and there will be a detailed report before dark." ”
"Very well, do you know our manpower situation in various places?"
"Homecoming, it's okay nearby, no matter how far away the villain has not been touched."
"Today, April 17, at most five days this batch of grain will be shipped away, before they leave, I will give them another surprise, you will go out and inform Liu Laobian later, I will burn down all the granaries of all the states, counties, and governments south of Taiping Town on the night of April 21."
"Ah......, head of the house, this ......."
"Don't worry, no matter how hard the burning is, there will be some left, if you don't do this, those monks scatter to collect grain and grass in various places, how can we prevent it?"
"But then we'll lose people's hearts."
"Have we occupied the south of Taiping? It's like Ziyun has occupied a large area of land in our Taiping Big, and he hasn't collected much food until now. In addition, tell Liu Laobian to find out four wealthier places to make a show, don't really burn, understand? ”
"What does the head of the house mean ......?"
"I have another use."
"Yes, I'll do it."
"Wait, Brother Min, are you familiar with Taiping?"
"Of course, Mr. Xu was sent out by me back then."
"Oh, that's good, Brother Min knows when the word 'Taiping' in this Taiping Town began?"
"Lord, in the past, when the Lin Kingdom was not destroyed, this was the capital of the Lin Kingdom, and at that time it was called Taiping."
"Five hundred years?"
"Definitely more than a thousand years."
"That's good, Brother Min, do you know how high the city wall was at that time?"
Listening to Yin Lei's words, Min Zhengxing's eyes showed a trace of doubt, but he didn't dare to slack off and said: "It is said that the city wall was six zhang high at that time, and it was later strengthened by both of us several times before it became the current height. ”
Hearing this, Yin Lei couldn't help frowning, if the relics of the Ten Thousand Madmen were really on the city wall, they should have been born two hundred years ago, but the rivers and lakes had never heard of the exercises or relics of the Ten Thousand Madmen, that is, the things should still be .......
Suddenly, Yin Lei's eyes lit up, since Taiping has existed for more than a thousand years, the city wall must also be more than a thousand years old, which means that the relics of ten thousand madmen will not be in the city wall, and it should be above the word 'Taiping' from the jade pendant.
"Childe, did you say that the things would be somewhere in the imperial city or the imperial palace back then?"
Yin Lei suddenly heard a sound as thin as a mosquito chirping in his ears, it was Qingye Xiaohe who was transmitting a voice to him.
"Brother Min, thank you for your hard work, pass on my orders, remember that there is absolutely no leakage, the matter of burning the granary is very important, and it is not allowed to spread it except for the person in charge, otherwise it is easy to leak the news."
"Yes, don't worry, the head of the family, this is a matter related to everyone's life, we will be careful."
After saying that, Min Zhengxing went out again, and the experience of the rivers and lakes was that Zhu Sicheng and Qingye Xiaohe were not as good as him, and he heard something from Yin Lei's words, but it was not just because he opened his mouth more, but because he was troubled, Yin Lei didn't say that he pretended not to know.
"Prince Xuanyuan, why don't you ask him about the imperial officials of the year......
"Since this is the capital, the palace must be the most central military aircraft department, and he will not know the changes in the palace for more than two hundred years, and this military aircraft department is not something he can enter and exit casually, so I can take the opportunity to go around it in the past few days."
After Liu Zongbing came, he lived in the military aircraft along with the left and right thousand households, and Yin Lei is now a hundred generals, of course, he also lived in.
Zhu Sicheng glanced at Yin Lei and asked, "Brother Xuanyuan didn't want to tell this Brother Min about the ten thousand madmen?" ”
"I don't know him well, and if I feel that he is credible after a period of time, of course I won't hide it from him."
"Can't he be trusted?"
"In terms of loyalty to the country, he is absolutely credible, I mean personal, our ghost team is divided into two types, one is the ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the other is the confidant, like the one who left me more than eighty people when I came, and his henchmen were all taken away, Brother Zhu understands?"
