Chapter 260: Wine Killing (1)
After crossing the Changchao River, the Xian army marched all the way to the Yongxing River, marching less than 80 miles a day. Along the way, the gates of all cities and counties were locked, the villages and towns were empty, and all the people were forcibly relocated to the main city to prevent them from being plundered by the Xian army.
Even so, the Xian army of more than 100,000 donkeys and horses all the way was not idle, the black turban army did not dare to fight again, the Xian army while recuperating and recuperating the wounded, while freeing horses to gnaw on green seedlings, the land along the way destroyed no less than 200,000 acres of land every day, the divine power learned the news, angry almost vomited blood, but helpless.
The 50,000 soldiers and horses drawn from Gubai and Ikeda had been more than half a month, and the Jin army was ready to move, so it had to move north as soon as possible. As a result, Shao Ping's defenders had less than 40,000 capable fighters, and they were no longer able to fight head-on with the Xian cavalry.
At the beginning of May, the number of locusts in Shaoping increased significantly, and the millions of acres of paddy fields that had been painstakingly preserved by the supernatural powers were in danger. On May 17, Lu Gao returned to Yongxing River with Chen Feishi to hand over orders to Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun heard that Ye Xin's troops had won successive battles, and almost no longer had to think about the result of the battle against Song He.
On May 18, repairing for one day, and on May 19, Lu Gao rushed back to Shanling to return to King Xian. After receiving the news, Ye Xin fought and won a success, and Xianwang Longyan was happy.
"General Lu Gao lived up to the expectations of the widows, earned enough face for my Xianguo and the widows, and the widows should reward General Lu heavily."
"Xie Wang Longen, Lu Gao really doesn't dare to be greedy. All the way, it depends on the resourcefulness of General Wei Xian (i.e. Bailiyan) to win, otherwise our army will be defeated by the poisonous tricks of the supernatural dogs. ”
"Hahaha...... King Xian laughed slowly, and then said: "Who is the only one in the world of cultural governance and martial arts, only Wei Xian deserves it." In this way, the widow overpromoted General Lu Gao as the right governor, Wei Xian ......" King Xian paused for a moment, thought for a long time and said: "The widow has a new vanguard general, Wei Xian has been reappointed as the vanguard general of the thief, and the post is tentatively set at 10,000, what does General Lu think." ”
"This ...... I don't know what the position of the king is to set up a new vanguard general, if the last general is the governor of the right capital, General Wei is bound to serve as the governor of the capital, but this is neither in line with the etiquette system, nor legal, and General Wei is still a Qi person, I am afraid that there will be many criticisms from the internal and external dynasties, presumably the post of vanguard general is set above the last general. If you want to calm down the mouths of everyone in the court, I'm afraid it's very difficult. ”
"It seems that General Lu has made a lot of progress in following General Wei these days, and he has even considered the affairs of the inner and outer dynasties so carefully."
"The last general will not dare, but this matter is very important, if it is too much, it is easy to be true."
"What General Lu said is very true, so the widow wants to create a new post and break the routine to appoint new people. With General Lu's age and qualifications, the captain of the overstepping level directly served as the governor of the right capital, looking at the Xianguo country for hundreds of years, I am afraid there are few people, Wei Dan is one, and the veteran Xu Song can also be regarded as one if someone is promoted.
At the moment, you General Lu is one person, and Wei Xian is also one person. Wei Dan and Xu Song's two generals have not lost an inch of land in our Xianguo for 30 years, all of which are the first Wang Hui's vision and knowledge, and the merit of knowing people and being good at their duties, and the fact that the few people overpromoted General Lu and reused the foreign general Wei Xian, which is also the reason.
As for the vanguard general, whatever the widow says, it is what it is, and who can help me. ”
To serve as the governor of the left and right, at least thirty-seven, eighty or forty years old, Lu Gao is now Chinese New Year's Eve three, the normal promotion channel, in the case of a lack of staff, the background support of King Xian, at the age of thirty-five, he can be smoothly promoted to the left and right governors, and thirty-seven or eight can be promoted to the left and right governors. Now that he is directly promoted to the left and right governors, only King Xian has this privilege.
The new vanguard general is not only for King Xian to break the routine and use newcomers, but also to further win over Bailiyan (Wei Xian) and balance the authority of the inner dynasty.
By the second day of June, Ye Xin's department still had not returned to Yongxing River, and as a rule, it should have arrived in mid to late May, and there was still no trace until early June.
In fact, the Black Turban Army planted a large number of paddy fields on the south bank of the Milong River, and if they were not all destroyed, the summer harvest would inevitably be obtained by the Black Turban Army, and it was necessary to destroy them all as much as possible.
So it was not until June 11 that they arrived at the confluence of the Yongxing River and the Milong River, and Zhao Xun had already ordered He Meng to build another pontoon bridge forty miles south of Wuping, and transferred heavy troops to the handles, and when all the men and horses of Ye Xin's department crossed the river, a fire burned down the pontoon bridge again.
After the army crossed the river, it was repaired in Wuping, and the wounded were immediately transferred to the local wounded camp, and more than 4,000 prisoners were taken prisoners, most of whom were from Sun Guo, in addition to Xu Guo, Zhiguo people, Qiguo people, and Yan Guo people. Bai He and Lu Zhao were all incorporated into the pioneer camp, and how Fang Qian and the others would be placed in the end, Bai Liyan was still considering.
Three days after the army was repaired, the Chinese officer Xue Sheng sent Zhao Xun's order, including the generals of the capital, to immediately go to the Chinese army to receive rewards. At the same time, 5,000 inches of silver, 20,000 copper coins, and countless pieces of wine and meat were brought in as rewards.
After the completion of the new city, Zhao Xun's Chinese army camp moved to the new city, and the strength of the Chinese army suddenly decreased from more than 100,000 to 50,000, which is not counting the strong laborers and craftsmen who moved in the city, if it is calculated, it is possible to mobilize more than 20,000 people, which is equivalent to the effectiveness of the new army of 100,000.
Arrived at the new city is already dark, the east gate received Zhao Xun will make an exception to open, in the dim city gate embedded with a huge stone plaque, the stone plaque engraved with the word "Yongxing", which means that from now on, Yongxing City will leave its strong mark in history from now on.
As soon as they entered the city, the rumbling roar came one after another, and the workshops in the west of the city stepped up production day and night, and it is said that in the past two months, thousands of steel weapons have been produced and trial-produced one after another, which have been widely praised by the front-line soldiers.
Since there was no city wall in the west of the city, and it was within the range of the Black Turban Army's trebuchet, Zhao Xun set up the Chinese army camp in the southeast of Yongxing City for safety reasons.
After nightfall, the lights were bright, and Zhao Xun set up a banquet in the handsome tent to invite the captains and generals of this battle. The capital set up another camp banquet, and the Chinese officer Xue Sheng rewarded him on his behalf.
As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Zhao Xun sitting on the right side of the Dingyang Marquis Zhang Jun, as well as his eldest son Zhang You, and on the left side sat the eunuch Huangmen Ling Guo Pan. It has long been rumored that the big Sima Jiang Yan said that he couldn't afford to be sick, and the queen mother was critically ill.
Ye Xin and the others are all martial artists, and they are very clear about the affairs of the inner dynasty, and when they saw Zhao Xun and Ding Yanghou, they saluted:
"Ye Xin, see Zhao Shuai, Ding Yang Hou!"
Ye Xin bowed deeply, and Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) followed him and bowed:
"Wei Xian, see Zhao Shuai."
The other generals saluted one after another, and Zhao Xun stood up and approached everyone with a smile:
"General Ye and all of you are exempt, sit down."
"Thank you, Governor!"
Everyone spoke in unison, and then they took their seats. Soon after taking his seat, Zhao Xun picked up the small copper hammer placed in front of the desk and struck the small bell on his right hand three times.
Nowadays, etiquette is extremely important, and formal occasions have a set of etiquette and rules that have their own system.
If the monarch is satisfied and wants to add food, there is a copper rope beside him, and he knocks it a few times with a mallet or copper hammer, and the palace maid will immediately send the meal.
Of course, it is impossible for the army to do such a lot of trouble, but the rules still have to be said, every time there is a big victory, you have to reward the meritorious generals, usually prepare a small bronze bell during the banquet, and by striking the bronze bell, signal the soldiers who prepare meals outside the tent to send the wine and meat into the account, so as to avoid the embarrassment of a large number of soldiers holding food and waiting to see the color in the tent, in fact, it is also out of humane considerations.
Three bells rang, the curtain was lifted, and the soldiers entered the tent with trays of sumptuous delicacies.
The wine banquets in the army are mainly meat-based, the current productivity is poor, the food source is not abundant, the delicacies of the mountains and seas can only be enjoyed by the royal class, and it is the greatest honor and reward to be able to eat big fish and meat in the army.
Zhao Xun prepared a piece of boiled beef for everyone, not to mention three or two catties, a roast suckling pig, a white chopped chicken, and a pot of wine, which can be taken away if you can't finish eating, which can be described as extremely rich.
"Everyone!" Zhao Xun raised the wine cup and said: "This battle was a complete victory, all thanks to the soldiers to kill the enemy, the generals bravely, the king knew very much, and gave the generals a special reward for wine and delicacies." Come, please drink this cup to thank the King for his grace. ”
When the generals heard this, they said in unison:
"King Xie, Xie Zhao Shuai!"
Ding Yang Hou's father and son, Huangmen Ling Guo Pan followed suit and raised the wine cup on the table and drank with the generals.
The wine is a liquor sent by Liang Guo, aged for many years in the cellar of Xianwang, Bailiyan was about to raise his head to drink, and suddenly felt that the taste was wrong. Dip your hand into it, and suddenly feel cold to the bone:
"It's not good, it's poisonous in wine!"
He stopped drinking, and at this time someone had already drunk the wine, Zhao Xun heard the rapid change, and immediately spit out half of the wine he drank, and even so, he drank some:
"Wei Xian, what's going on!" Zhao Xun asked sharply:
"This is fake wine, it is highly poisonous, this cup can kill people without half a cup of tea, everyone spit it out, quickly! Otherwise, there is no way to regret it! ”
"What, poisonous!" Zhang Jun, Marquis of Dingyang, was taken aback and asked: "General Wei is not a child's play, this is the imperial wine given by the king, how can it be poisonous." ”
Without waiting for Zhang Jun to speak, he saw Ye Xin, Gu Zhong, Xu Jin, Xiao Qu and others not saying a word, put their hands in their mouths and picked out their small tongues, and spit out the wine they drank when they were young.
Centripelt asks people to get warm water, then drink enough to dilute the methanol that has been introduced into the abdomen, and then induce vomiting again to remove as much methanol as possible.
A moment passed, the tent was filled with stench, and everyone was gray-faced and blue-faced, and they sat on the ground panting in embarrassment. At this time, the soldiers brought in several jars of rice wine from outside the tent and poured them into the sea bowl for the generals to drink.
Ding Yang Hou and his son tossed enough, only Bai Liyan did not drink among all of them, and only he was as stable as Mount Tai, which couldn't help but make the father and son extremely annoyed, especially Ding Yang Hou Zhang Jun.
He had a mortal enmity with Bai Liyan back then, and today he is an official in the same dynasty, and he was so embarrassed at the first banquet, he couldn't help but secretly think that Bai Liyan deliberately embarrassed him.
"General Wei, I vomited and vomited, and I drank water, what is this wine for!" Ding Yanghou said dissatisfiedly.
"Go back to Ding Yanghou and detoxify. Drink fake wine should be taken with strong liquor to detoxify, but now there is no strong liquor, so you have to spit out some fake wine first, and then drink warm water to induce vomiting again, even so, there is still fake wine in the body, so you can only use rice wine instead of strong liquor to detoxify, otherwise even if the poison does not die, it may lead to lifelong blindness. If Hou Ye didn't want to be blind for the rest of his life, he drank this bowl of rice wine, which could detoxify the remaining poison. ”
Fake wine contains excessive amounts of methanol, and drinking too much at one time is easy to kill. The fake wine drunk this time has a very high methanol content, and it is very likely that it is the first wine obtained by Boyuan Jun Jifeng after brewing.
