Chapter 129: A Means to See the Light
After Liang Jia fainted, the armies of Zhao Qiang and King Qing outside the city fought so much that both sides suffered heavy casualties, and Zhao Qiang's side suffered greater losses.
Although Zhao Qiang's force value is higher than that of the generals under King Qing, the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers is not good for the imperial army. If it weren't for Zhao Ximei's continuous increase in troops and almost all the troops in Jishui County, it is estimated that Zhao Qiang would not have been able to come back.
Even so, Zhao Ximei's loss this time directly exceeded 20,000 people.
The loss on King Qing's side is estimated to be around 10,000, which is much better than that of the imperial court.
But he finally repelled King Qing and kept Jishui.
If it weren't for Liang Jia being in Jishui, Zhao Ximei would probably give up Jishui and retreat to Hengshui City.
At dawn, Zhao Ximei came to visit and asked about Liang Jia's injuries. He thought that Liang Jia was injured and didn't sleep well all night, so he wrote a self-defense and sent it to the Administration Office. When he saw Liang Jiasheng standing in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's time to retreat to Hengshui. The city walls of Jishui County are short, which is not conducive to defense. The city on the Hengshui side is high and deep, which is conducive to defending the city. Zhao Ximei played the same old tune again.
Liang Jia also felt that the purpose of consuming King Qing's vital strength had been achieved.
Coupled with yesterday's battle, they had consumed a total of more than 30,000 troops on King Qing's side during this period of time. Although your own losses are also very large, you can replenish them, and it will be difficult on King Qing's side.
Jishui County is really not conducive to defense, and it was almost captured the first few times.
Liang Jia nodded and said, "Yes." However, we can't just retreat like this, we have to design it anyway and give King Qing a stumbling block. ”
"What is the emperor going to do?" Zhao Ximei was a little puzzled.
Although the soldiers are treacherous, he Zhao Ximei has a lot of plans for war in his head, but retreating is retreating, is there any stumbling block? It's nothing more than retreating and pretending to be defeated, taking the opportunity to ambush, which is nothing.
"This I think about it, you go down first to prepare for the retreat to Hengshui. Remember, the people of the city will also be moved. ”
Zhao Ximei agreed and left in a hurry.
After they retreated, King Qing's army would definitely occupy Jishui County, so how to Yin King Qing, Liang Jia already had an idea.
Yesterday's scratch card brought him a bottle of pesticides, a big bottle of paraquat.
If this bottle is mixed with water according to the dosage of weeding, how can it be mixed with hundreds of catties. Although these few hundred catties did not have much effect on King Qing's tens of thousands of troops, it was still possible to poison a few of their key figures.
Liang Jia then came to the back with his things and found Ying Yue, who had already healed.
However, there is a master on King Qing's side to protect him, and it is too unlikely that he wants to poison King Qing, so Liang Jia targeted the generals under King Qing.
After finishing the plan, Ying Yue glanced at Liang Jia, didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.
In Ying Yue's opinion, this plan is a bit unproductive, but if she can help Liang Jia, she is willing to do it.
After making arrangements, Liang Jia and Xiaoxue Xiaoyu were in Zhao Ximei's first batch of evacuation lists, left here and headed towards Hengshui.
As soon as Liang Jia arrived in Hengshui, he received a letter from Rourou and Tang Sai'er in the capital.
Tang Sai'er came to inquire about the situation, and Rourou asked for sin. Moreover, this guy took it upon himself to kill all the eunuchs who protected Liang Jia, except for Xiao Chunzi.
This woman, Nima, is so ruthless.
Li Xiaogu's guys are still very easy to use, and this time it's no wonder that they are.
Rourou said that she was already on the way to the road with Xiao Haruko, and Xiao Chunzi left Liang Jia to deal with it personally.
After Zhao Ximei led the army to leave Jishui, she was soon known by the scouts under King Qing. However, just in case, they waited for half a day before they cautiously attacked.
But Jishui County has already gone to the city, and the entire county can't even see a single figure.
The army searched the entire city, and after finding nothing, King Qing was relieved.
However, in a hidden corner on the beam of the county government hall in Jishui County, Invite Yue nested there motionless. She was waiting, waiting for Jishui County to be completely quiet.
After King Qing took Jishui County, he did not go to Hengshui in one go, as Liang Jia thought, but repaired in Jishui County, preparing to go to Hengshui on the second day.
After it got dark, Jishui County was full of soldiers at first, coming and going, and the noise was very noisy.
It wasn't until late at night that Jishui County quieted down. At this time, King Qing had not yet fallen asleep, and was discussing with Cao Deguang and a group of important generals about the plan to attack Hengshui tomorrow. The guy who made Invite Yue jealous was sitting near the door of the lobby. If there is a slight change in the invitation of the moon, it is possible to be discovered.
However, Invite Yue is not to assassinate King Qing, so she will not make a move for the time being.
In the back, the chamberlain brought by King Qing was preparing the room, and the target of Invite Yue was there.
After the discussion in the lobby was about to end, Ying Yue cautiously left the lobby and went to the backyard.
In the backyard, more than a dozen chamberlains were making beds and stacking quilts in the original prefectural room. Others were preparing a late-night snack in the kitchen.
Ying Yue saw that the teapot in the room was steaming, so she took out a cotton thread, took out the bottle that Liang Jia gave her, and carefully dripped the liquid in the bottle down the cotton thread little by little, and dripped it from the mouth of the teapot.
After dripping some of it, after hearing the movement outside, Ying Yue quickly left, and then went to the front yard.
In the front yard, Cao Deguang and a group of generals have not yet left, and they are nervously perfecting the plan and the distribution between the troops.
Invite Yue went to the kitchen, and then poured a small half bottle of liquid into a large kettle in the kitchen. After pouring, she did not leave, but came to the lobby again and hid on the beam.
Seeing that the kettle in the kitchen was brought over by a soldier and filled with water for everyone, Ying Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Ying Yue was not sure how effective this poison would be when put into boiling water, so she had to stay and wait for the results.
After seeing everyone drink the water in the kettle, Ying Yue strongly looked forward to the result.
But when he hadn't seen the poisoning of the group of generals in front of him, there was a sudden scream in the backyard.
But then, there was no sound. Ying Yue guessed that it was very likely that King Qing had already had a poisoning reaction. But because the middle-aged man was there, it was controlled at the first time.
Ying Yue didn't think that he could kill King Qing, after all, the person next to King Qing was too high in martial arts, even if the poison given by the emperor was very powerful, it was estimated that he could be controlled by that person.
She wanted to go and see it, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't act rashly.
The people in the lobby also heard the screams from behind, Cao Deguang asked everyone to calm down, and then walked to the back alone. After all, there are not many people who are qualified to face King Qing.
However, before Cao Deguang reached the door of the backyard, he suddenly stopped, and then bent down and vomited non-stop. I finished digesting everything I had eaten at night, and all I spit out was the tea I had drunk before.
