After a while, I found the source of the spicy, a small soil mountain with an area of about five acres, mixed with many "Chaotian pepper" seedlings in the weeds, each plant has a cluster of peppers the size of a small finger, mostly conical, the tip is upward, and the lower end is slightly thicker. At this time, they are all cyan, and occasionally a few are red, but they are only half red, and most of them are purple-red.

"Leave a family soldier to keep this pepper in my care! Don't damage a single plant! ”

Yun Xiaoshui took people to more places, but they didn't find such peppers again. So he continued his maintenance of the city walls.

The walls were not built for a long time, and only in a few places did the situation mentioned in the Meng Tian Sutra occur.

"How can this be as serious as Lao Meng said? What does Lao Meng want to do? Yun Xiaoshui felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while!

Later, after meeting Meng Tian, a conversation made Yun Xiaoshui suddenly enlightened, and it turned out that Meng Tian really had the intention of returning to the capital to enjoy his old age. Especially after Gongzi Fusu left his army, he went to the capital to become the crown prince, and the two never met again. Although there are letters, they are already very unfamiliar emotionally!

This Yun Xiaoshui sat on the position of national teacher again, and then presided over the reform of the military system, his commander-in-chief, the prince's chief supervisor, and his friendship with Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers gradually became estranged. I didn't see each other for months, and letters became scarce. Meng Tian was not only disappointed, but also dissatisfied.

There will be military generals, Confucian generals, and generals. There are brave and weak generals called generals, who can only lead the troops to charge into battle, and cannot be strategized. A Confucian general who is resourceful but less brave can only be a military advisor and a staff officer, not a commander. Only those who are brave and resourceful, and who are all-round in civil and military affairs are called generals. The material of the general can be the commander, strategizing in the strategic, and winning thousands of miles away! Undoubtedly, Meng Tian and Meng Yi are both generals. To be the commander of an army with only one battalion in one direction is indeed a bit overkill!

"Hahaha...... Little Master of National Teacher! Don't come unharmed, huh? Well...... Only a head, not fat! It's not what I imagined, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be full of fat and pot-bellied! Hahaha......" Meng Tian laughed and said to Yun Xiaoshui as soon as they met.

Yun Xiaoshui just said: "General Meng is fat and strong as always......" Seeing the military advisor Chen Liang striding over and raising his hand and wanting to pat Yun Xiaoshui's shoulder, looking at the strength, Yun Xiaoshui was scared in his heart, it would definitely hurt to slap it like this! Quickly shake your head very coolly and dodge!

"Little sir! You came at the right time, the Huns' stragglers are easy to deal with, but those little voles, weasels and other small things are really difficult to deal with, you can help you think of a trick to cure them! ”

"Cure them? Great military division, you said it lightly, is it possible to cure it? I don't have that ability! ”

After entering the camp tent and settling down, Yun Xiaoshui's first thought was that he must discuss with the prince after going back, and transfer Meng Tian back to the capital first, and it would be best to transfer Meng Yi together, if not, he should also transfer Meng Tian himself as much as possible.

At this time, Yun Xiaoshui suddenly remembered Han Xin and Xiang Zhuang, who had good grades in the general recruitment examination, and wondered if it was correct for him to bury the two? Since there are no conditions for them to oppose Qin, there is no possibility for them to rely on their military talents to assist Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to destroy Qin, let alone the dispute between Chu and Han.

What are you doing to suppress them in this situation? Does it still make sense?

"Shouldn't we fully mobilize their enthusiasm and let them use their wisdom and talents to contribute to the continued strength of Great Qin?" Yun Xiaoshui finally used an hour of sleepless time to convince himself, and went back to transfer Han Xin and Xiang Zhuang to the two young people to entrust him with important tasks.

When Yun Xiaoshui investigated the site of the destruction of the city wall by the small animals in detail, he found that these small animals were neither looking for anything to eat in the wall soil or wall tiles, nor were they nesting and hiding inside, and they had deep holes in the ground at the base of the wall.

"It's not for food, it's not for shelter, why do you want to chew on something so hard? Idle bored, grinding your teeth? When Yun Xiaoshui was groaning, he couldn't help but ask.

Narcissus analyzed that it was to "open the skylight" for their holes, that is, to add a few "valves".

"Makes sense! Above the ground, the view is wider! Yun Xiaoshui spoke, his eyes fixed on a plant, looked at it repeatedly, ran to touch and sniff, and said with surprise and joy: "Haha! Palmate-like leaves, small blue-purple flowers, claws on petals...... Northern Aconitum How can there be grass and poisonous weeds here? And so much! ”

This poisonous weed produced in the north, Aconitum aconitum, also known as grass black, is very toxic. Seeing it, Yun Xiaoshui thought of using its poison. Do? Stop small animals from gnawing on walls and bricks.

"If there is grass, will there be any other poisonous plants?" Yun Xiaoshui thought as he walked towards the depths of the valley, there was water and soil, and the land was naturally very fertile.

After walking a short distance, he found a poisonous plant, castor!

"Look for these two plants in the distance! Just see if there is any, no need to collect! Yun Xiaoshui pointed to the dozens of honor guards who came with him. These black-clad men were all good boys, and after recognizing these two plants, they scattered to find them.

"Husband! What are you doing with all this grass? "Even Narcissus can't figure out what medicine is sold in Yun Xiao Water Hyacinth.

"Hehehe...... These are two poisonous weeds, and I'm going to mix them into the lime mud as a wall sticky, and I hope to stop the critters from gnawing on them by their smell and poison. ”

"Huh? It's a wonderful solution! It must work! Because they smell great! I just don't know if the smell will disappear quickly in the mud? Yu Mingzhu also knew castor, and said a little worriedly.

"Hehehe...... Don't worry! It's going to disappear very slowly! There's no smell, there's a smell of poison! ”

Soon, the armorers who had gone around looking for poisonous weeds all returned, and they all reported that there were many of these two things in this area, one by one, and some of them were quite large!

So, Yun Xiaoshui asked the wall-building soldiers to do it according to his plan, first going to harvest a large number of grass and castor, and then crushing them with guillotines and mixing the broken grass in lime mud, and then using it to build the wall.

The effect must have been very good at that time, you could smell the unpleasant smell from afar, and that little animal was still willing to bite? I just don't know if I can stop the animals when the wall is dry?

Later it turned out that the wall was dry and effective in driving away the critters. They all went to dig holes in the land and stopped gnawing at the cracks in the walls.

Yun Xiaoshui is going back. Meng Tian and Chen Liang came to see them off, Chen Liang said euphemistically: "After the little master of the national teacher goes back this time, please make it clear to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the main task of General Meng here has been successfully completed, and the scale of gold, silver, copper and iron ore is not large. If we want our general to continue mining and smelting elsewhere, then transfer it! ”

Yun Xiaoshui said with a smile: "The general should know that there were rebels before and after the military change, and when I left the capital, there was an assassin in the palace who murdered Your Majesty. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no time to replace an old general like General Meng. Wait, General Meng must have more important national responsibilities to be delegated! ”

"Hahaha...... Lao Meng, I have always fully believed in the little adult of the national teacher! No! Or a little friend...... Hahaha......" Yun Xiaoshui also laughed back at Meng Tian's sudden change of name. In the laughter, Yun Xiaoshui left Meng Tian's camp and embarked on the road back to the capital.

"Young Master! What do you smell of this grass? Weird, a little pungent! ”
