Chapter 279: The Wooden Tiger Under the Wall (Part II)

Poison in alcohol? Hearing Lu Dongzan's words, all the generals fell silent for a moment.

A man who secretly picked up a bowl of wine was so frightened that he silently put down the bowl in his hand and was no longer greedy.

Lu Dongzan opened a jar of wine and shook it in front of everyone, "You smell this smell, is the smell of wine so strong?" ”

"Hey, it seems to be really, this wine is so strong, I've never smelled such wine."

"It's thick, but it smells so good!" Someone whispered.

"Then you take a sip and taste it!" Lu Dongzan had a cold face, put the wine in front of him with a "bang", frightened the man and shrunk his neck, and said with a wry smile: "Prime Minister..."

"Less nonsense! Drink! Lu Dongzan's voice was cold and did not contain meaning and feelings, the man was helpless, poured out a bowl of wine, sent it to his mouth with difficulty, hesitated, looked at the gloating crowd, and finally took a small sip.

Shochu is like a blade, slicing down the throat. The man felt the strength of the soju, his eyes widened, the liquor entered his throat, and he exhaled sharply, because his face was already sunburned plateau red, so he couldn't see the change, but his uncomfortable expression still fell into everyone's eyes.

"Humph! The despicable Tang Army, the wine is really poisonous! Lu Dongzan said angrily, waved his hand and gave an order: "Someone! Destroy the wine along with this Trojan horse......"

"Good wine!" As soon as Lu Dongzan's words fell, he heard the person who had tasted the wine before grinning and shouting.

"This wine is strong enough! I've never drunk anything so strong! As he spoke, the man took another sip of wine, revealing a refreshed expression.

Obviously it was very uncomfortable at first, why did you say that the wine was good? The strange scene made everyone scratch their heads.

The envoys who had been to the Tang Dynasty came to the side of the wine jar and sniffed it, and suddenly became excited. "Prime Minister, Zampu, this is the recent popular wine in the Tang Dynasty, called 'Shochu', this wine is extremely strong, ordinary wine is as light as water compared to this, and the value of this wine is not low, a jar of wine is worth two copper coins."

A jar of wine and two copper coins? Everyone's eyes widened, what kind of purchasing power does copper money have? The people around thought about it for a while, and they all showed greedy eyes at Mu Hu's altar of wine.

There are many good drinkers in the army, and nothing can release the anguish in the body and heart more than a bowl of wine, if it is really as the envoy said......

The people around him swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.

Lu Dongzan did not speak, but observed the reaction of the person who was drinking. The man seemed to be addicted to drinking, and he quickly drank half a bowl of wine after a small sip, and then he became drunk, and began to fight 'drunken punches' on the spot, and after a few blows, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.

In addition to being drunk, there were no other adverse reactions, and the rest of the generals were even more moved when they saw it, wishing that it was themselves who had just tried the wine, but the prime minister, Zampu did not speak, and they did not dare to drink without permission.

After enduring about a stick of incense, someone finally couldn't help it anymore and cautiously proposed to Lu Dongzan.

"Prime Minister, it seems that he is just drunk, there is no problem, these drinks are not..."

Lu Dongzan didn't hesitate and looked at Songtsen Gampo, who called a soldier and splashed it directly on the drunken man's face with a touch of water.

"Ahh The cold water directly stimulated him to wake up, but the stamina of the soju also came up, and he only felt that the world was spinning, and he fell to the ground softly and said nonsense just after he made it.

"The strength of this wine is too great to drink in vain, what if the Tang army takes advantage of our drunkenness to attack the city?" Songtsen Gampo glanced at everyone, everyone lowered their heads and did not speak, but the desire in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and as the aroma of wine drifted away, it stimulated everyone's nerves more and more.

It's been almost a month! Nearly a month of repeated marches, battles, not a day of relaxation, these generals' nerves have been in a tense state, now that the Tang army has retreated, it is finally possible to relax, and good wine has been delivered, but the result is that they can't drink, how can you let these generals stand it?

It's like a cat that has been hungry for more than ten days, locks him in a cage and enjoys eating dried fish in front of him, isn't it tortured to go crazy?

Songtsen Gampo took in everyone's expressions, and guessed everyone's thoughts, and the atmosphere of silence lasted for a while, and he finally sighed and relieved.

"Let's have a celebration banquet tonight, everyone is not allowed to drink too much, at most half a bowl per person, and the vigilant sentries are indispensable."

As soon as Songtsen Gampo's words fell, the surrounding generals erupted in cheers, and everyone shouted and the soldiers shouted and dragged the wooden tiger into Songzhou City with so much wine.

Looking at the shouting crowd, Lu Dongzan showed his sorrow, turned to Songtsen Gampo and said urgently: "Zampu, don't, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster if you indulge them!" ”

Songtsen Gampo also looked helpless, "I don't want to, but they..." he smiled bitterly, pointed to the excited crowd and continued: "Do you think you can suppress them today?" So many brothers died in this battle, and if they were not allowed to vent their mouths, I am afraid that all the tribes would rebel. ”

Lu Dongzan looked at everyone, and sighed heavily, even if he knew that he couldn't relax at the moment, but the army's heart had been lost, what else could he do? I can only go with the flow and see the will of God, hopefully... This is not a ploy of the Tang Army!

"Come on, pay attention to the vigilance at the head of the city, the sentries are constantly patrolling outside the city, and you must pay attention to the movements of the Tang army!" Dropping this order, Lu Dongzan had no choice but to comfort himself and go into the city to make trouble with them.

.......

Tang Jun was hiding in a mountain forest at the moment, everyone was leaning against the shade of trees, panting in the damp and dull air, and many people were lying on the ground tired, not too dirty, and fell asleep.

The barracks are rarely quiet.

The quiet atmosphere was quickly broken by the sound of fast horses' hooves, and a soldier looked excited, and crawled to find Li Ji who was napping. "Report! General, the Tubo people have brought the wooden tiger into the city! ”

"What!" Li Ji fell asleep and stood up directly excitedly. "What do you say? Wooden Tiger has entered the city? Not found? ”

The soldier licked his dry lips and said excitedly: "Report to the general, the Tubo people dragged the Muhu people into the city, and it seems that they didn't check the Muhu at all, and their minds were all on the wine. ”

"What about wine? Have you drunk any alcohol? ”

"The last general saw a Tibetan general drink wine and then get drunk from a distance, which seems to verify that the wine is not poisonous, so a piece of wine was pulled in!"

Li Ji was stunned for two seconds, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha! Good! That's great! Come, tell the other three generals that everything is going according to plan! ”

"Yes!" The sergeant clenched his fists and retreated, and soon, Cheng Yanjin and the others received the news from Li Ji, which was similar to Li Ji's performance, and everyone jumped up from the ground excitedly.

Wooden Tiger Meter... Half the battle!

The night is when it really happens!!
