Volume 1 Gu Wusheng Smoke and Clouds Chapter 7 Poison Gold

General Cao said angrily: "The Imurans look like wolves and tigers, and those merchants in the Bihai Kingdom can't be as evil as wolves staring at sheep?" ”

Su Xiaochen nodded and said: "As General Cao said, there are also some Imulans who see that Bihai people are weak and have a lot of women, and they want to cut off the goods halfway with bad ideas, but they have already been seen by Bihai merchants. The leader of the caravan approached the local chief of Imuran and told him that Bihai was timid and that if he was robbed once, no second merchant would dare to come. The chieftain, who had already made a lot of money from the black market, immediately formed a guard and promised to protect the caravan as long as it was in Imulan for a day. As a result, the other Imulans did not dare to move. ”

The prince said, this chief is only the head of a state capital at most, can he suppress all the Imurans?

Su Xiaochen replied: "Ordinary chiefs naturally can't, but this chief has some backgrounds. A hundred years ago, when Khuguer Uhun founded the Imuran Kingdom, the territory was unified, but the large and small tribes under his jurisdiction were not united, and the three largest tribes were indistinguishable. ”

"Doctor Xun" asked, "Which three tribes?" The old man didn't know. ”

"Kuguerben was born in the Eagle Clan, and there are also Blood Clan and Blade Clan, which are called the three major tribes. The Eagle Clan is good at bows and arrows, can see from afar, observe things in detail, and are the scouts of the main army. The blood clan is good at cavalry warfare, with many brute forces, incomparable bravery, and the combat power of the main army. The blade clan can metallurgy, good at animal husbandry, and supply the main army. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the three major tribes did not give in to each other, and they vied to sacrifice the women of their tribe to Khuguer as Mula. ”

"Wood wax?" The prince was puzzled.

"It is Mura, which means the wife who does not abandon in the Imulan language, which is equivalent to the wife who is married, and the rest of the spouses, no matter how many they are, are also concubines. Kuguer was in trouble in his heart and could not make a decision, so he consulted the great witch god Wen Mi. Wen Mi was said to be the wisest elder in the kingdom of Imuran, so he suggested marrying a woman from each of the three tribes, the woman of the Eagle tribe was called Wind Mura, the woman of the Blade tribe was called Moon Mura, and the woman of the Blood tribe was called Shanmura. ”

"What does this three-posthumous system have to do with that chief?" The prince was a little puzzled and asked again.

"The place where the black market appeared was the southern land of the Imulan country, which belonged to the territory of the Blade Clan, and the third lord of the country at that time, Suli Ehun, married Yuemula was the sister of the Golden Blade King, the chief of the Blade Clan, and the Golden Blade King was also the brother-in-law of the lord of the country. And the Blade Clan controls the smelting, forging and mining skills of the whole Imulan, and has money and grain, the lord of the country wants to give him three points, how dare others offend him. Therefore, the Golden Blade King only sent a small guard, under the banner of the Blade Clan, and no one dared to do anything again. ”

The prince nodded, secretly thinking that this was the reason, just like although he only brought two thousand imperial armor, but under the Guwu Evergreen Flag, who dared to move, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

However, the good times did not last long, and the black market became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more coveted people in Imulan. Constantly some people said to the lord of the country, Su Li, that he should wave his army to the south, and simply set foot on the blue sea and took it all. Only the third-generation Great Witch God Wen Lan objected, saying that the time had not yet come, and the battle was ominous. Wen Lan is the eldest grandson of Wen Mi, the founding witch god, who is good at divination and is proficient in alchemy. Sully was hesitant to hear this, but he still couldn't hold back his heart, and twenty-five years ago...... That is, in the thirty-seventh year of Fengyun, when the first emperor Emperor Qin Wenren was still there, the lord of the country, Suli Ehun, led 120,000 iron horsemen to the south, which was the beginning of the war of poison gold. ”

When Su Xiaochen said this, his expression became solemn.

In the battle of poison gold, Su Xiaochen's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to one afternoon two years ago, when Uncle You mentioned this war to him for the first time.

"The Blue Sea Country doesn't have an army?" Looking at Su Xiaochen with a stunned expression, Mu Yunyou nodded and continued:

"The blue sea is a country, not a soldier, although there are some guards in the capital, but there are thousands. It seems incredible, but it has its own mysteries. Let me ask you, if you want to attack the kingdom of the blue sea, where should you start? ”

Su Xiaochen looked at the map, thought for a while, and said, "The Bihai Country is bordered by Jueling Mountain in the north and the Hanjiang River in the west, both of which are desperate situations. If you want to attack, you can only attack the Linzhou border from the mouth of the sickle valley of the Jueling Mountain, or cross the Hanjiang River to attack the Binzhou border. ”

Mu Yunyou smiled slightly: "A hundred years ago, the blue sea didn't know that there was a valley leading to Imulan, and Imulan didn't know that there was a blue sea in the south of the Ling, so it was peaceful. Look at the Han River again, the river is turbulent, the river surface is wide, the water potential is slower, and there are only a handful of terrain that can cross the river safely, and non-giant ships cannot cross. If the giant ship crosses the river, it will be detected, and there are many people and ships in the blue sea, and the water is good. Whether it's drifting a few boats full of gunpowder upstream, or sending some skilled hands to do something underwater, the enemy can be annihilated before they can cross the river. ”

Su Xiaochen couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is Uncle You... Ever thought about... Attacking the blue sea? A hint of pride flashed in Mu Yunyou's eyes: "The blue sea is a day of danger, what can I do?" Looking at today, in the eyes of my Mu Yun clan, there is really no third person to find in addition to Zhu Yutang, the Emperor of the Blue Sea, and Wen Lan, the Great Witch God of Imuran. ”

"Then why didn't Uncle You give advice to the Holy Lord?"

Mu Yunyou didn't answer, but asked, "Chen'er, what do you say?" ”

Su Xiaochen suddenly flashed a sentence in his mind: "All the birds and beasts, the good bow is hidden." The enemy country is broken, and the heroes are killed...... A long time ago, Uncle You talked about the family motto of the Muyun clan: those who are good at traveling drown, and those who are good at riding fall; If you have a long profit, you will lose, and you will be happy and sad. He immediately bowed his head and said nothing.

"Master Su? But the battle of poison gold is too long ago to remember? The prince looked at him as if he was wandering all over the world, and it was a little strange.

Su Xiaochen came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and continued to chant aloud:

"In March of the 37th year of Fengyun, the soldiers of the Imuran blood clan suddenly ransacked the merchant house in Shakoye City under the pretext that the medicinal materials sold by the merchants of Bihai were fake, and then dozens of horsemen rushed out of the city overnight to attack the caravan that was about to return to Bihai, killing a total of 53 men and women, and only one person escaped desperately by hiding in the jungle. When Suli Hun heard this, he immediately summoned the leaders of the group to discuss the matter, and wanted to march south in one fell swoop in the name of 'the blue sea merchants are cunning and deceiving the integrity of our people'. Except for the Great Witch God Wen Lan, no one objected. ”

"In April of the 37th year of Fengyun, the escapees returned to Taiye City to listen to what had happened. The Ming Emperor was shocked, and it was expected that the ambition of the wolf son of Imuran would come back, but because the country had no armor soldiers, it was difficult to resist the enemy, and the prime minister Lu Xingyuan asked the Ming Emperor to send the letter of state to the Cangwu State Taishi Mansion for help in order to seek a strange strategy. Shi Nai's three old ladies of Muyun sat in the court and immediately entered the room to study and plan. ”

"Doctor Xun" shook his head and said: "It is worthy of a moment of ink fragrance, and it is a last resort." The prince asked impatiently, "What is the countermeasure?" ”

"In August of the 37th year of Fengyun, Suli Hun led his troops southward and entered through the mouth of the Kamaka Valley of the Absolute Ling Peak. However, the valley pass was very narrow and tortuous, and only the 6,000 men of the vanguard army went first. Unexpectedly, not long after entering the valley, I found that a wall blocked the way. ”

"It's just a wall, why is it so hard to break?" The prince laughed.

"It's a wall made of countless gold bricks. The scorching sun shone on the walls with golden light. Those who saw it were all dumbfounded. ”

Golden Wall ...... When everyone heard this, they all gasped, how much gold must be .......

The soldiers of Imulan immediately swarmed up and made a mess, and when the rear army heard about it, they also rushed forward, trampling countless people at once, and piling up flesh and blood. When Su Li heard this, the Chinese army was furious, and he personally killed several snatchers with a machete to stop the situation, but the tragedy was still to come. ”

Everyone had long forgotten their previous disdain, and they were very fascinated by it, and they all looked at Su Xiaochen intently.

The wall of gold bricks was quickly demolished, and the soldiers who grabbed the gold bricks were all happy, thinking only of returning them as soon as possible, and did not think of moving forward. That night, however, the soldiers began to suffer from fever and vomiting. The next day, there were infected soldiers in all the battalions of the army. Imulan was already short of medicinal materials, and the people in the clan relied on physical strength on weekdays, and even if they were sick, most of them only asked ghosts and gods and did not ask about pills, but now they were suddenly infected with the epidemic and were caught off guard. Within ten days, wailing was all over the field, the dead and wounded continued, and more than half of the 120,000 iron armor had been damaged. ”

Hearing this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the prince's forehead, and he asked, "Poison... The Battle of Poison Gold... But the gold bricks are poisonous? ”

Su Xiaochen nodded and said, "Exactly." Prime Minister Lu Xingyuan, according to the strategy of the three princes of Muyun, poured the gold of the country, refined it into gold bricks, stacked them at the mouth of the Kamakuli Valley, and then poured the venom of the plague on the gold bricks. The poisonous gold brick was the thing that spread the disease, and it was expected that Imulan would not dare to take it away, and after retreating from the enemy, he would send someone to carefully refine it on the spot, and then transport it back to the enemy without damage. Master Mu Yun originally used soldiers like a god, but this time when he encountered the Bihai Kingdom, there were no soldiers available, and Imulan's army was imminent. ”

When the crowd heard this, they clapped their hands.

Su Xiaochen's words changed: "However, Imulan is not without talents. A few days later, when the Great Witch God Wen Lan's army arrived, he saw that Su Lihun was remorseful, so he ordered someone to take the poison gold to take a closer look. Then he said that the death of the soldiers was irretrievable, but he must pocket the gold of the blue sea to comfort the heart of the lord of the country. ”

The prince asked, "What is his ability to dissolve the poison gold?" ”

Su Xiaochen said: "Wen Lan first isolated the infected soldiers, and then selected the dead soldiers who could still walk, harvested the poison gold in one place, covered it with diesel oil and grease, and burned it in a fire. Soon after, the gold bricks melted into gold water, and the venom burned dry, and after a few more hours, the gold water condensed into non-toxic gold nuggets. ”

"Doctor Xun" laughed out loud: "Master Su don't talk nonsense, as the saying goes, 'real gold is not afraid of fire', how can ordinary fire melt gold into water?" ”

Su Xiaochen said with a smile: "The Wen family was originally from the blade clan, and they have always been proficient in the art of alchemy. So it didn't take long for Sully Uhun to return to Imurin with all the gold. ”

The prince muttered, "How could it be mixed with tin ......." ”

Su Xiaochen smiled and said nothing, the same question, in that afternoon, he also asked Uncle You.
