Chapter 169 Wine is not intoxicating, and medicine is urged

Qin Youcai saw Qin Lei's figure, and hurriedly scolded the soldiers to be quiet, and the chaotic team suddenly quieted down.

Qin Youcai shouted again: "Please give a lecture to the prince." The soldiers agreed.

Qin Lei motioned for Qin Youcai to deploy defense on the periphery, and then walked to the front of the team with a smile, his eyes crossed over the young faces, and said loudly: "Guys, good job!" ”

The soldiers laughed, very proud of Qin Lei's affirmation. This highness has no shelf, and he is no stranger to the affairs of the army, and he can always take care of the emotions of the officers and soldiers. Especially since he came, the phenomenon of deducting food expenses has never happened again, and he can eat meat every day, which is much better than when he was stationed in the barracks. In short, the soldiers were very satisfied with this young and enthusiastic prince.

When they were done, Qin Lei asked, "Among you, who has the longest military experience?" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, discussed in a whisper, and finally pushed out a middle-aged sergeant with a stubble on his face, and he saluted Qin Lei a little crampedly: "Back to the words of the prince, the villain Zhang Sigou has been a soldier for twenty-three years, and he is longer than them." ”

Qin Lei took advantage of the firelight to look at this old guy who looked like he was in his forties, burly, and weathered, and found that he was the leader of the team, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

The Great Qin military system, five people and one army, led by the captain, ten people and one tithe, led by the chief, fifty to one hundred people as a team, led by the team leader, these three-level soldiers are not officers, they are still according to the sergeant, but they can get more. Further up is the officer sequence, five hundred people in a group, led by a lieutenant; More than 1,000 people are battalions, and battalions usually have two or three thousand people, but some more important posts, less than 1,000 people, are also called battalions, and are led by captains.

The battalion is also the basic military unit of Great Qin. Several battalions formed an army, like Huben Tiance, as well as Qin Youcai's Zhennan Army East Road Infantry Army, the army was a strategic military unit of Great Qin, led by commanders, these commanders were the leading figures of Great Qin officers, and they were also the sole commanders of the battlefield. The only ones who can command them are the marshals of their respective aspects.

Although in the years when there was no war, there were very few civilian officers who could climb to the rank of captain, but an old guy who had been a soldier for twenty-three years and had experienced the defense of Shuicheng turned out to be a team leader, which made Qin Lei a little curious.

Of course, now was not the time to explore, he pointed to the black hole in the distance and asked, "Lone comes to ask you, how high do you think this wall is?" ”

Zhang Sigou didn't look at the city wall, and simply said: "I have seen it in the daytime, this city is forty-four zhang wide and eight zhang high, which is more than twice as high as Jingzhou City." ”

Qin Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now more than 100,000 cultists have taken refuge in this city, intending to resist stubbornly with a strong city," and then asked: "Lao Zhang, do you say this city is difficult to attack?" ”

Zhang Sigou thought for a while and whispered: "This city is too high, arrows stomping, female walls, and corner towers are all available, as long as there are rolling stones and skulls and arrows hot oil on it, there are tens of thousands of people who take turns in three shifts." In the absence of siege equipment, there is no hope......"

A young school didn't like to listen to it, and said to Qin Lei: "The prince doesn't listen to this nonsense, he is famous for 'being less bold than the eye of a needle', and he specializes in saying depressing words." As long as you have enough to eat and drink today, the brothers will take down the city for you. ”

Qin Lei turned his head to look at the young man who was speaking, and said with a gloomy face: "How many people are you going to use to take down Lone?" How many people are going to die? ”

Captain was speechless for a while, he just couldn't get used to hearing Zhang Sigou's soft tone before he spoke, but he didn't think about it more. He bowed his head and muttered: "How can there be an immortal ...... in war"

Seeing him lower his head, Qin Lei said sternly: "Raise your head!" ”

The young lieutenant hurriedly raised his head and looked at Qin Lei with a bewildered expression, and the field was extremely quiet for a while. Qin Lei looked at this young and delicate little face, knowing that this kid was nine out of nine, and he had just left the bottle and became an officer. I don't even understand the simple reason that subordinates are not allowed to interject when the superior speaks.

Qin Lei pointed to the rows of soldiers opposite, and said in an awe-inspiring tone: "They are the bravest and most loyal soldiers in Great Qin, and they are not afraid of sacrifice. But what right do you recruit bastard have to order them to die in vain? With your general's father? ”

He asked in a snarky tone, "What's your father's name?" ”

Xiao Piwei muttered, "Chu Po." ”

Qin Lei had a good impression of that General Chu, and said softly: "It's really a shame for your father." He instructed Qin Youcai again: "Take the tassel on this kid's helmet and send it to Zhang Sigou's team." ”

Qin Youcai sighed in his heart, what is this? He and Chu Po are brothers in life and death, and when he came out by himself this time, Chu Luo entrusted his son to him, hoping to train the stinky boy with a heart higher than the sky. Unexpectedly, before he understood what the war was all about, this kid disobeyed the prince first. didn't dare to plead, so he personally stepped forward and tore off the silver inlaid tassel on Xiao Chu's helmet that represented the captain, and then pointed to the team and sent the children who were mourning to take care of themselves.

This scene was extremely relieved in the eyes of the soldiers, this little boy didn't know the height of the sky, and he always looked arrogant, and he didn't take them seriously at all. Now seeing that Qin Lei did not protect the noble Prince Chu, but spoke for the soldiers, he suddenly looked at Qin Lei differently, originally he was just grateful, but now he has a sense of support.

Qin Lei turned his gaze back to the sergeants, and immediately felt this emotional change, he nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at the sergeants: "Anyway, you haven't lived enough, right?" ”

This is an interesting question, who would think that their life is long? The sergeants laughed and replied, "No ......"

Qin Lei bowed his head and said: "Then the Lone King has a way to let you take this high city unscathed, are you willing to do it?" ”

And this kind of good thing? The sergeants all said excitedly: "Let's listen to the prince." ”

Qin Lei pointed to the pigs and sheep that had been roasted to a golden brown and said, "You will eat those hanging on the shelves later, and then drink the ones in those jars, and the lonely king will take you to take the city!" ”

The soldiers laughed when they heard this, they really hadn't heard of such an easy method.

Qin Lei waited for them to laugh enough, and blinked mysteriously: "But half an hour ago, your commander replaced all the wine in the jar with water. ”

As soon as the huge disappointment sounded, he was suppressed by Qin Lei, he pointed to several large water tanks in the distance, and said with a smile: "The water in those water tanks has been replaced with wine." ”

The soldiers suddenly fell silent, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the prince's gourd. Qin Lei said unhurriedly: "As long as you drink that water as wine, and then pretend to be drunk." Lone promises to drink wine in a vat with you tomorrow in the city. ”

Only then did the soldiers know that the prince was trying to paralyze the enemies in the city, and this interesting thing immediately aroused their enthusiasm, and they shouted and agreed.

Qin Lei nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go and enjoy it......"

The soldiers looked at Qin Lei with some concern, but Qin Lei looked a little confused, and in the end, Zhang Sigou, who had never returned to the team, expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts: "Lord Wang, this meat can't be fake, right?" ”

Qin Lei scolded with a smile: "Get out, go taste it yourself!" ”

The soldiers then disbanded, and under the leadership of their respective teams, they sat down by the grills, looked at the whole pigs and sheep that glowed with golden luster, and smelled the smell of meat, and finally let out a relieved wolf howl, and sat in a group, waiting for the team to divide and eat them.

It's just that before the division of the command, the team leaders first put up the jars with the word wine one by one, and poured a full bowl for each of them, and the helpless soldiers had to make a look of intoxication and death......

The carnival under the city became more and more enthusiastic, and although there was no wine, it was enough to eat the oily barbecue in a big gulp, which was enough to make the group of soldiers happy. The song sounded out of nowhere, and it quickly resonated with everyone, and they joined together loudly......

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son.

Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son.

Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with my son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son.

Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son!

The generous and high-pitched singing reverberated in the night sky, startling the tired birds who stayed overnight, and also attracting the leaders of the Maitreya Sect to the city.

A big fat man in a silk coat and a pentagonal scarf, surrounded by a group of men in different costumes, was stomping through arrows and looking down at the city. He was originally a wealthy believer in Yiling Mansion, and after the Maitreya uprising, he was elected as the leader. This person is very timid, or he will not rely on Maitreya to anesthetize himself, at first he didn't dare to agree, but he was scared by someone with a knife on his neck, so he obediently agreed, and reluctantly became the leader of Yiling Mansion.

Three days ago, as soon as he heard that the imperial court crusade army was sweeping over, he hurriedly fled from Yiling with his men and fled all the way north. It wasn't until I saw the thick wall of the city that I felt a little sense of security in my heart. He plunged into the city and took a breather.

Later, the disciples of the other two provinces were also pursued by Qin Lei all the way, and fled into Maicheng one after another. Although the number of people is not necessarily small, it has been disrupted and scattered, and naturally it is impossible to compete with the Yiling Sect members who are all bearded and full tailed. So this 'King of Yiling', who drove ducks to the shelves, became the chief leader of nearly 100,000 Maitreya cultists in the city.

Whenever he recalls the experience of the past month or so, the former wealthy man will always sigh at the tricks of creation, so much so that when he looks at the lively scene in the enemy camp in the distance, he will have a feeling of being in a different world.

A fierce quarrel interrupted his feelings, and he turned back blankly, only to find that his men had clashed with the new leaders. After listening intently for a moment, he realized that they had started a fierce quarrel over whether to go out of the city and attack.

It was his subordinates who wanted to sneak out of the city to attack, these people did not see the horror of the Zhennan army, and they still wanted to take advantage of the enemy's drunkenness to snatch back the wine and meat......

As a former rich man, he was certainly not interested in those coarse meats. In his heart, he despised his subordinates who had no interest, and slandered: "As for it, it's not a bird's nest to eat......"

Then I listened to the new arrivals, who had been tired and frightened for days, and had long since lost their fighting spirit. Seeing the holiday on the other side, I naturally want to have a rare restful sleep.

He nodded at the idea in his heart, glared at his men and said, "Do you know who is on the other side?" It was the Dragon Demon King with eight heads, and he had more ideas than the stars in the sky. How could he not think of a question that you could think of? It must be that our city is thick and difficult to attack. That's why he deliberately set a trap and secretly ambushed us to kill him. ”

His subordinates are all from the background of some unscrupulous idlers, how can they know any art of war? Hearing that he seemed to have some truth, he blamed himself in his heart: "If it weren't for the king's clever plan, he would have almost killed himself." The eyes that looked at the big fat man were even more adoring.

Those newcomers were eager for him to say this, and for a while, the flattery came out, blowing the big fat man so that he couldn't find the east, west, north and south, and thought that he was an overweight version of Kong Ming, and laughed: "Let's go drink too, and sleep well after drinking." There is a saying: There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow and sorrow tomorrow! ”

"The king is too talented, better than any Li Bai......" The flattery of the tide immediately followed.

This made the big fat man feel very good, he stretched out his fat hand, pointed at a bearded man in black and said loudly: "Kou Ping, please trouble you, the landlord, to prepare wine and food for the brothers." The honest smile called Kou Ping went down to prepare.

Those who had planned to go out of the city to rob the wine and food were immediately attracted by the good wine and food in the king's mouth, and never brought up the city again.

Although the man named Kou Ping is wooden, he is very quick in his work. Within half an hour, more than a dozen large plates and bowls were placed in the original county government and the current palace, with large pieces of stewed meat, large bowls of stewed vegetables, whole salted fish, and large pieces of pimple pickles.

When the dozen or so leaders sat down, Kou Ping led people to carry more than a dozen wine jars like a trick, and the leaders were overjoyed when they saw the wine. One person hugged a jar and patted off the mud seal, and the smell of inferior wine filled the whole house. But these people didn't care at all, and laughed instead: "Good wine, good wine." He began to drink the dishes.

The big fat man frowned, and Kou Ping's brother Kou Ding came up, took out a small wine jar from his arms, and said with a smile: "Du Kang is aging, filial piety to the king." ”

Only then did the big fat man smile and said, "It's still your Kou brotherhood who will do things, come on, sit down and drink together." ”

Kou Ping smiled honestly: "Everyone drinks, there must be a gatekeeper." Let's go to the city gate and keep an eye on it. ”

That Kou Ding was unhappy and said, "Brother, you can just go by yourself, I haven't eaten yet." ”

Kou Ping said angrily: "You dare to go up with Lao Tzu? I'm going to beat you son of a bitch. ”

Kou Ding was also angry, and said back: "My mother is also your mother, if I am raised by a son of a bitch, then you are too." ”

Kou Ping was furious and was about to come up to beat Kou Ding, but others hurriedly stopped him. The big fat man persuaded: "Just let Kou Ding stay here, and you can go and come back quickly." ”

Kou Ping glared at Kou Ding fiercely, and left the hall angrily at the big fat man.

As soon as he left, the group began to eat nonsense again, and more than a dozen jars of bad wine were quickly drunk. The unsatisfied leaders shouted to Kou Ding in the last seat: "Wine! Wine! ”

Kou Ding hurriedly got up, nodded and said, "Don't worry, princes and grandfathers, go get the little ones." With that, he trotted out of the hall.

Leaving the hall, Kou Ding called the guards waiting at the door and went to the wine cellar in the backyard. Leaving two lookouts, the rest went in.

Kou Ding asked people to move out more than a dozen wine jars, and a few guards stepped forward, took out a special small diamond, drilled a small hole in the mud seal, poured some white powder into the wine along the small eye, and finally wrapped the mouth with a red silk cloth, and then called it a day.

When everything was done, Kou Ding whispered to the regrouped guards: "There is chaos outside, we can withdraw, if they find anything unusual, don't hesitate, don't kill." ”

The leader of the guards nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Xie, our brothers will all listen to you." ”

The 'Kou Ding' known as Master Xie was the first to leave the southbound fleet of Xie Wuwu, and Kou Ping was naturally Shi Yong. As soon as the two of them got off the boat, they caught up with a Maitreya meeting, and as soon as the two discussed, they assumed the name of the Kou brothers and joined the Maitreya Sect. This Maitreya religion is chaotic and does not ask about loyalty and treachery, as long as it is human. The two of them successfully became the trainee Arhats of the Maitreya Sect, and after several bribes and tosses, they finally became the guards of the south gate of Maicheng. The only thing that was depressing was that even a person like the big fat man could become the chief of the city, and the two of them had nothing to boast about.
