Chapter 65 II

The worries of the crowd did not last long, because the things that were transported from Liu Xianzhi's old house in Jinju arrived the next afternoon.

It's just that after the things arrived, everyone's worries did not decrease because of this, but they became a little more confused. Twenty cartloads of sacks were shipped from Jinju, and I don't know what they contained. As soon as the things were transported to Taiyuan Mansion, Liu Xianzhi instructed those family members from Jinzhou to collect all the goods into the mansion, not knowing what they were doing.

Early in the morning of the third day, Liu Xianzhi beat the drum and raised the tent. In fact, there is no need for him to gather the generals, the generals have gathered in the mansion early to wait, and everyone wants to find out what Liu Xianzhi is doing as soon as possible.

After a day and a half of rest, Liu Xianzhi's complexion has improved a lot, although his face is still like a sick man, but at least it is not like the indescribable gray when he first arrived. Liu Xianzhi sat in the chair, glanced at the generals steadily, and then said leisurely: "Since the things that this king wants have been prepared, then without further ado, our army will start to act immediately!" ”

The generals all had excited expressions when they heard this, I am afraid this is a bad habit that is difficult to change among military generals, as long as there is a battle to fight, they will temporarily forget the fact that the original strength of Taiyuan Mansion is insufficient.

Liu Xianzhi paused for a moment, and then said: "Order all city guards to maintain the status quo, and there must be no rash moves, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded at this time, but they didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, this was the result in the end. Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Xianzhi crooked the corners of his mouth with great satisfaction, and said, "The generals in Taiyuan Mansion are different. He immediately removed all the flags in the storehouse, and then the whole army marched towards Ulju City. Along the way, you must swagger through the market, and make as much noise as possible. But there is one thing that must be done, and that is not to let people find out how many of our troops there are! ”

"Lord Wang, are you going to use a suspicious strategy?" Ge Boling couldn't help but ask.

"Mouthy!" Liu Xianzhi glared at him: "Then Hao Man listened to the order and ordered you to order five hundred soldiers and prepare more vehicles, cattle and horses." Rush to Ulju City. ”

"Yes!"

"Han Jianlong listened to the order and ordered you to bring a thousand spearmen to accompany him to protect Hao Mancai's vehicle, and not to be greedy and rash and cause it to be damaged in the slightest!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Ge Boling, Sima An listened to the order, and ordered the two of you to lead the elite cavalry with seven hundred and ten days of rations, and go with this king to Ulzhou City!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Liu Xianzhi nodded: "So go and handle the matter immediately." Before the time comes, the king will set out! ”

The generals said yes and dispersed. By the time Sima An and Ge Boling had already waited in line outside the Jingluo Mansion with these seven hundred elite horses, Liu Xianzhi didn't even wear armor, he was still dressed in brocade clothes on weekdays, and led his family to resist seven hundred small pockets. Liu Xianzhi instructed each soldier to carry a pocket and not to lose it, and those who violated the order were immediately beheaded. Then he got on the stirrup and led the cavalry out of Taiyuan City.

As soon as he left the city, Liu Xianzhi ordered the whole army to speed up the march, and the seven hundred horses immediately spread their hooves and ran away. Ge Boling couldn't help it. came to Liu Xianzhi's side and asked: "Lord Wang, these orders of yours are heard in the clouds, our seven hundred horsemen are in the head, are we going to break through the encirclement and report to Xue Jingluo?" Then you should let your subordinates wait to go to the next time, yes, you should go with the army. ”

Liu Xianzhi turned his head to look at Ge Boling and said, "Do you think that with these seven hundred cavalry, the strength of Taiyuan Jinglufu will be able to defeat Abiciel's army?" ”

"Of course not."

"That's terrible, since this extra number of troops won't help at all. We must be killing ourselves by sending troops to attack Tuqi. If you really want to mobilize a large army to fight Abcilir for a decisive battle, it is estimated that it will have to be more than 100,000. But if we had done so, Abcilir would have already withdrawn, and how could our infantry group catch up with him? When the time comes, either the labor is in vain, or he is dragged down alive by his cavalry, how can this king use such a stupid approach? So, to deal with Abicheril, he had to use some tricks that he couldn't think of. ”

"Trickery?"

Liu Xianzhi snorted at the soldiers behind him. "Do you see the bags they are carrying?" Those are the things that were shipped from Jinju yesterday. Use it against Abicheril's army. ”

Ge Boling's eyes widened for a long time before he said, "Shouldn't this be poison?" ”

Liu Xianzhi nodded and smiled: "It seems that although your mouth is fast, your brain is quite flexible." Yes, that's poison. It was refined by the king according to the recipe in the ancient book. As long as a person drinks a little bit, he will vomit and diarrhea. Fever and cough, the symptoms are like the plague. Now that it was late autumn, the water of the Sanggan River had become smaller, and the flow rate had become very slow, and as soon as we poured the poison into the water upstream, the Raiders who drank the river water downstream would immediately have an attack, and the heavy ones would die of dehydration, and the light ones would be bedridden, and the whole barracks would be like a plague. At that time, the Turkic army will not be able to fight at all, and we will march into Ulju City with great fanfare, are we still afraid that Abicheril will not retreat? ”

Ge Boling's eyes widened, almost like two lychees: "King, lord, His Royal Highness the county king, this, Ulzhou City is also in the lower reaches of the Sanggan River, and the defenders in the city still have the people along the river."

Liu Xianzhi smiled: "You don't know this, first of all, Ulzhou City uses well water, not water from the Sanggan River, only those Tuqi soldiers who don't know how to dig wells will drink the river water." Secondly, no matter how powerful this poison is, the amount of water will become thinner, and according to my calculations of the flow of the Sanggan River in the current solar terms, its effect can take effect for at most thirty miles, and even if you drink it farther, it will only be slightly uncomfortable. Therefore, we need to march quickly, as close as possible to the Turks to ensure maximum effect. ”

Ge Boling nodded thoughtfully: "I see." Then you are not afraid that Abicil has already figured out the troop allocation of Taiyuan Mansion and knows that we are just bluffing, and then he concentrates the remaining forces to strike with all his might, and we may not be able to resist it. ”

Liu Xianzhi shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Abichilir doesn't know the real situation of Taiyuan Mansion's troop allocation. Maybe it's Xue Jinglue's work, the Turks have never figured this out, otherwise with Abichilir's brain, how could they have been slow to attack Taiyuan so far? It was because he didn't know the truth that he would stop his army under the city of Ulju. ”

"Then what is the order you gave to Hao Mancai, Han Jianlong?"

"After we have poisoned the army, the Tukchi army seems to be plagued, and if Abicheril wants to withdraw his army, he must take these sick soldiers with all means, otherwise his strength will be greatly reduced. However, it was not easy to bring the sick and infirm with him, which meant that he would give up most of his military supplies. Think about it, how can we pull back the supplies left behind by the nearly 100,000 army if we don't have enough vehicles? However, if these vehicles happen to encounter the Rangers of Tuqi, it will be troublesome, so it is necessary to let Han Jianlong, who is proficient in spear warfare, command the troops to accompany them for protection. ”

"You're so thoughtful." Ge Boling couldn't help but sigh. In fact, this was just a manifestation of his surprise and awe to hide his heart, he really didn't expect that the eighteen-year-old young county king in front of him had already considered all aspects of this battle long before receiving the emperor's order! If this battle is successful, then Liu Xianzhi's name will probably be written into the ranks of the famous generals of the Silk Country, right?

In the past, Ge Boling thought that Chang Miao was a rare handsome talent, and later there was a Xue Boren, Ge Boling thought that he could not follow these two generals to establish meritorious deeds as a regret, if this battle was successful, then there would be a third talent to lead the army in the country of Juanzhi, and he was fortunate to be this person's general.

Ge Boling decided to do his best to complete this mission and pave a smooth path for his life. (To be continued......)
