Chapter 1484: Poppy Poison

The two places that Xuan Bao mentioned are the two main roads that bypass Seaweed Town, one goes to the military road and the other goes to Xiling.

Hearing Xuanbao's explanation, Honghuai and several Baizhu Chiefs all widened their eyes, looking at Xuanbao in disbelief, Honghuai still couldn't help but say to him: "Prince, you mean that the rebels will not attack Seaweed Town?"

Xuan Bao shook his head and said to everyone: "Attacking here will be useless for them, and it will do no harm to them! The most important thing is that they have never admitted that they are rebels, because their purpose is not to betray Mohuan, but to drive away the people of the Central Plains! Therefore, their target is in Bingdao, not Seaweed Town!"

"A bunch of fools!" a Baizhu Chang, who seemed to be very impatient, snorted angrily, grabbed a wooden comb in her hand and smashed it, gritted her teeth and said: "If you don't fight for yourself, you still want to be angry with others? Do you really think that if you destroy the way of soldiers, you can make Mohuan change the status quo? If it weren't for the way of soldiers, Mohuan wouldn't need fifty years, and there would be no more soldiers who could fight!"

This sentence is by no means alarmist, the establishment of the military road not only increased the trade between the Central Plains and Mohuan, but also gave the two countries a channel for marriage!

With Mohuan's current situation, it will take at least two or three hundred years for the Mixed Yuan Lizhu to completely digest the current environment and become normal! If you wait for this time, Mohuan will usher in a very embarrassing scene in the next generation or the next generation.

Women say that they are soft or not, and men must be rigid or not! As a result, the overall strength of Mohuan has declined sharply, and there are not many soldiers to fight in the country, because everyone lives in such an environment, and the body cannot resist the fundamental transformation of the body by the climate and environment!

Based on this reason, Xuanbao and Tongyao had to come up with the help of the power of the Central Plains to convey some masculinity to Mohuan, this move is very bold, and only the relationship between Xuanbao and Tongyao dares to do this, if it is anyone else, it will not work!

But not everyone can understand such a move, and not everyone can see through that far, especially these Mohuan men, they are the most repulsive, because this is tantamount to announcing their invalidation, in Mohuan, they originally had no status, and now they are even more useless, it would be strange if they didn't go crazy!

This Baizhu Chang actually knows Xuanbao, and has a little impression that when he was in Bingdao, there were two stalls in the Central Plains and Mohuan that had disputes because of trivial matters, and the patrol personnel on both sides went to mediate, the person in charge of the Central Plains side was Yuan Chao, and the person in charge of the Mohuan side was this woman.

Xuan Bao looked at her and said with a smile: "Your name is Hanmei, right?" You are right, but not everyone can see this, so in this battle, we are more wronged, and what is even more wronged is that we really can't fight with a dead hand!"

I didn't expect to be recognized by the prince after so long, and she was able to say her name, Hanmei's face turned red, and her always arrogant personality was rarely twisted, she lowered her head, and said to Xuanbao carefully: "Lord Wang, Hanmei doesn't understand a little, why can't you fight the rebels with a dead hand?"

"Because they are the people of Mohuan after all!" Xuan Bao sighed and said to everyone: "Due to their physical reasons, they have become a little short-sighted, but they have gone astray, and they have been deceived, not really wanting to betray Mohuan. We just need to make them sober, not to provoke them to make mistakes again and again! Remember, this is our purpose, and when we can not kill people, we must not do it, otherwise the situation will only be chaotic and irreparable!"

When everyone heard these words, they all nodded seriously, and Han Mei was also a little thoughtful, she can be regarded as a fierce general, but she is not a simple general who doesn't like to use her brains, otherwise it would not be her turn to guard the complicated place of the military road.

The general policy was decided, and all that remained was to draw up a battle plan. Before Xiao Yin left, she released about five hundred spirit sparrows, and Xuan Bao would not summon them, but as long as she saw them, she could know where those spirit people were now.

According to the route pointed out by Xuanbao, the defenders of 30,000 towns were divided into two places, one was intercepted on the road leading to the military road, and the other was stopped at the intersection of the back mountain leading to Xiling.

Xuan Bao said to Honghuai, "When will the spies sent to Fuliu Town arrive?"

"It's going to be tomorrow night at the earliest!" Honghuai looked at Xuanbao and said, "But it will take three days to wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"

Three days is indeed a long time, with the current strength, it may be a little hanging! Xuan Bao frowned, looked at the map, and thought about every word when he talked to Yuan Xiaosan and them in the woods, and suddenly thought of something, his face was happy, and he said to everyone: "Maybe our pressure will not be as great as imagined, because it is possible that not all 100,000 people will come to our side!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately widened, and they looked at Xuanbao in surprise, and Honghuai's face was a little surprised: "Why did the prince say this?"

Xuan Bao pointed to the topographical map and said, "I once heard them inadvertently mention that they would do two things, the first one is to seal the military road and then destroy it. The second thing is to admonish the soldiers, so that Tong Yao can take back his fate and no longer have any contact with the Central Plains! And they want to do two things at the same time, so that they may divide their troops in two places!"

"What a big appetite!" Han Mei snorted coldly, looked at the topographic map and said: "100,000 people are divided into two places, what is the layout? Kyoto should be the majority, right? Even if it is about five or five, do you really think that 50,000 rebels can capture Kyoto where 100,000 archers are stationed?"

Honghuai asked one of the Baizhu chiefs, who had not spoken, "Snow Lotus, what do you think?"

Bai Zhuchang, who was named Xue Lian, should be a general who used his brains and did not use his hands, and looked at the topographic map without blinking his eyes and said: "What we are facing should be a group of powerful rabble! Far superior to us in combat power and far inferior to us in tactics!"

"In a word!" Xuan Bao couldn't help but praise this Baizhu Chang named Snow Lotus and stretched out his thumb.

Xue Lian's face turned red and smiled at Xuan Bao, such a smile made Xuan Bao stunned for a moment, feeling very familiar. The red locust next to him whispered to him: "Lord Wang, Xuelian is the second sister of the military advisor, and there is a third sister named Xueyin, who is also the head of the hundred pearls of our archers!"

"No wonder!" Xuan Bao suddenly realized, one of the three masters, Xue Ruo is really a Jiangmen family! Looking at Xue Lian's style, it should be very similar to her sister, but her body bones are a little weaker than Xue Ruo.

Han Mei looked at Xue Lian with a blank face and said, "Then does this mean that we can beat them or not?" Since this group of rebels is strong, do we have a chance of winning with 30,000 people?"

"Then it depends on how many of them come!" Xue Lian said in a deep voice: "If we are three times as much as ourselves, it will be difficult for us to win this battle, and if we stay within this three times, we will have a chance to win! These people make a living by making fires, cooking, and taking care of their children on weekdays, so how do they know how to fight! Even if they have a strong strength in their bodies, they don't know how to use it! With such a big appetite, a total of 100,000 people have to be divided into two places, and it is not difficult to fight such a battle!"

"It's really not difficult, but it takes a lot of effort!" Xuan Bao nodded and said to everyone: "I know that they have been bewitched, and they have mentioned some sect leaders more than once, as if they have escaped from the poppy country, these people are very suspicious!"

Han Mei's face turned blue and said: "I knew that those bastards were not good people! When they came, I didn't know why, they just didn't like them! But seeing that they were so honest and pitiful, since His Majesty had ordered them to be taken in, no one objected anymore!"

Xuan Bao looked at everyone and said, "Tell me, who are these people, and what kind of abilities do they have?"

Honghuai stood beside Xuanbao, sighed, and said to him: "We don't know much about the specifics, but I heard that they came from the East China Sea, and there were more than 300 people on a boat, and only the four of them survived in the end!

I had heard of such a historical treasure, so I didn't feel strange, I just listened quietly and didn't interrupt her.

Honghuai snorted and said: "It's just that in the past hundred years, the poppy country and Mohuan have begun to fight each other, and they no longer communicate with each other, because the people of the poppy country once sent poppy poison to Mohuan, and after the first emperor knew about it, he burned their three hundred ships in a row, killed nearly two hundred maritime merchants, and completely cut off their minds!"

"Poppy, what is this?" Xuanbao was really the first time he had heard this name, so he was a little curious.

Everyone's faces showed a trace of disdain, Xue Lian snorted coldly, and said to Xuan Bao: "It is a kind of poppy juice, in the name of reviving the dead and curing all diseases, in fact, it is a kind of poison! After eating it, people will indeed be very energetic, even if they are about to die, they can get out of bed and live for a few more days, but after these few days, they will still die." Even if you are a good person, you will die if you eat too much, but once you eat it, you will have a great addiction, and you can't eat it!"

Hanmei's face was covered with frost, and she gritted her teeth and said: "My grandfather is because he ate this thing, so he will ruin the family that dragged down the whole family, and I grew up unclothed until I was fifteen years old, and I was bullied!"

"Why do you want to eat it when you know it's addictive?" Xuan Bao looked at everyone a little strangely.

Honghuai sighed and said, "It's not that you can endure it if you know it's terrible! This thing can make people hallucinate, and it can also bring strength to people." The men of Mohuan live a very aggrieved life, but such things can make them find a reason to escape from reality, so for a period of time, the men of Mohuan were very obsessed with this thing!

Xuanbao nodded, and suddenly remembered the abnormality of the red faces of those enlightened people he saw when he was in the woods, and said to Honghuai: "Is there any other harm to this kind of poppy poison, such as for spiritual cultivators?"

Honghuai shook his head and said, "Then we don't know! In fact, this kind of thing is rarely touched by the people of the Poppy Country! But I know that those homeless people who come to Mohuan must have eaten these poppies, because they will change from men to women!"
