Chapter 39 Croton Meritorious Service

After running out for a while, everyone reined in the horses, and Li Qiang asked, "General, what should I do next?" ”

"Let's not go back to the castle first, and then play with the Huns. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info," Gao Shun said.

"Well, I haven't had enough!" Li Qiang said.

"Come with me!"

"Yes, General."

Gao Shun and the others walked along the stone road in the direction of the castle.

The Xiongnu thousand-man team hung behind Gao Shun and the others, and also came in the direction of the castle, but they didn't see Gao Shun and the others put away their horses, walked quickly through the rocky beach, and went around to their east.

When the Xiongnu army reached the end of the stone road, they were dumbfounded, they did not expect that there was such a majestic fortress here, with cliffs on both sides, and the passage was narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The commander said, "No need to chase, they must have entered the castle." ”

"What are we going to do?" The centurion asked.

"This castle is difficult to attack, and we are not good at attacking the city, so retreat first, find a safe place to camp, rest well tonight, and talk about it tomorrow." The commander did not dare to camp at the gate of the city, and he did not know how many soldiers and horses were stationed in the castle, and if he was attacked, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It's afternoon now, it's almost dark, and we must set up the camp as soon as possible and take safety precautions; They pursued for a day, more than 100 miles, and did not even eat lunch, and all the Hun officers and soldiers were very tired, not only suffered heavy losses, but also had no results at all, which made the commander a lot more cautious and no longer took care of the village team.

The retreat of the Huns surprised Gao Shun, and the Huns were also people who knew the soldiers.

It was very close from Taoyuan Fort to Taiping Village, and the Hun cavalry troops arrived outside Taiping Village, and the commander said: "Let's rest in this village tonight, and the 600-man team will enter the village to investigate." ”

"Yes, Commander." The 600-strong team entered Taiping Village from the east of the village.

Several other centurions said: "Commander, stationed in the village, we are easily surrounded, and the enemy is easy to attack with fire. ”

"Haha, there is no city wall in this village, we can rush out in any direction without worrying about being surrounded; As for fire prevention, let's send more people on duty at night. Everyone is tired after a day of running, so I can take a good rest here tonight, recover my strength, and fight again tomorrow. The commander said.

The people felt that this was also the case, and that camping in the village was more comfortable and vigilant than at night, so they accepted the commander's arrangement.

After a while, the 600-man team returned: "Commander, this is an empty village, except for houses, there is nothing, it is estimated that before we came, the Han people moved away after receiving the news." ”

The commander ordered: "Okay, the troops will camp in the village, the 300th team will be on duty in the first half of the night, the 400th team will be on duty in the second half of the night, and the other troops will rest well." ”

"Yes, Commander."

Gao Shun and others followed from behind, and when they saw the enemy entering Taiping Village, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, not caring about these Huns, and took Li Qiang and others to Zhao Village.

In Zhao Village, everyone first released the horses to feed, drink, and comb; Then they got together for dinner, the dinner was very rich, Gao Shun knew that the battle consumed a lot of physical strength, and he had to eat well, so he stored a large number of meat buns, roast chicken, roast lamb chops, lamb legs and other materials in the space ring to ensure that it was difficult to lose his belly during wartime.

Li Qiang asked curiously, "General, what good ideas do you have?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "These Hun stupid birds actually spent the night in Taiping Village, we know everything about it, let's go to the camp at night." ”

"Okay, I'll definitely be able to kill them." Li Qiang strongly agreed with the idea, they were all too familiar with the method.

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "We won't kill people or horses today." ”

"Why is that?" Everyone was curious.

Gao Shun smiled: "Those war horses are our trophies, it's a pity to kill them; Those Huns, I want them to surrender obediently, and we don't need to do it ourselves. ”

"Haha, General, and such a good thing? Let's hear about it. "Li Qiang's temper is the most urgent.

"The solution is very simple, let's sneak into the village at night, just sprinkle some croton noodles into the well, and tomorrow we can just come and receive the prisoners."

Li Qiang asked: "General, this method is good, but is it too late to throw croton powder at night?" ”

Gao Shun explained: "That can't be helped, as long as you drag them here, they will definitely drink water tomorrow, in addition to that, there are no wells around, the rainy season has not arrived, and there is no water in the river." ”

"Hey, if only I had sprinkled the croton noodles in the well earlier."

"How could you have come up with such a brilliant idea? I didn't expect the Huns to camp in Taiping Village. ”

"It's not too late to think about it, and we're going to try to break their water wheel at night and force them to drink from the well tomorrow."

"Sprinkle some croton in the herd to distract them."

Everyone discussed and finally formed a complete set of action plans.

While everyone was discussing, Gao Shun opened the system screen and bought Croton, which is really not cheap, Croton 1 point only buys 80 kg, and Croton powder 1 point only buys 40 kg. Gao Shun bought 1 point of croton and 2 points of croton powder, and then gave half of it to Li Qiang, saying, "In the evening, the two of us will act separately." ”

Li Qiang said in surprise: "General, these are too many, it is enough to poison tens of thousands of people, if you let such a few people eat, it is estimated that the gods will not be able to save them." ”

"Haha, put less croton, don't poison the horse, put more croton powder, poison those Huns, let's save trouble."

"That's not good, the horses will also drink water, there are too many wells, if those horses drink, the horses will be scrapped, and 5 catties in each well will be a lot." Li Qiang suggested.

"Then put 10 catties in each well, I don't want an accident." Gao Shun didn't understand the medicinal properties of croton, and would rather put more of it, but not enough, and it would not have an effect.

Li Qiang said helplessly: "Okay, put 10 catties in each well, I am in charge of the well in the east, and the general is in charge of the well in the west." ”

Best Gao Shun said: "Good! Everyone is tired from the day, so they rest immediately and move at night. ”

"Yes, General."

Gao Shun and the others rested in a thatched hut on the west side of Zhao Village, and they were not worried about the Huns killing from the east at night, knowing that with the quality of their people, as long as there were horses passing through, they could definitely feel it.

That night, a group of 3 people acted separately, led by Gao Shun and Li Qiang; Because they were not killed, and they were familiar with the terrain, the sentry posts arranged by the Huns did not play any role at all, and Gao Shun and the others easily completed the task and returned to Zhaocun to join them smoothly.

Gao Shun was very happy and said, "Haha, how could those stupid people of different races think of such a clever plan from us? Tomorrow wait to receive the captives! ”

"Haha, General, that's exciting." Zhao Xiong said.

Li Qiang said dissatisfiedly: "Looking at the Huns who are close at hand but can't be killed, my hands are itchy, and I am uncomfortable, how can there be any stimulation?" ”

Sun Cheng said: "It's a pity, those Hun soldiers are so bold that they dare to sleep when they are on duty at night, or we can kill them all tonight in order to capture them all." ”

Gao Shun said: "If we kill people tonight, then the Huns will be vigilant, if we don't drink the well water, we will work in vain; If we are captured, we will have hundreds of more slaves in our castle to farm for us, which is better than killing; Then you will have a family, and each of you will be divided into slaves. ”

Li Qiang retorted: "General, let's cut their waterwheel skins, they will be vigilant as well." ”

"Hehe, this is not comparable, let's go to see the results tomorrow morning, and start sleeping now." Gao Shun ordered.

"Yes, General."
