Today in History:

In 947, on February 24 (the first day of the second month of the tenth year of the meeting of the Khitan Taizong), Yelu Deguang wore Hanfu, head or Han crown, ascended the main hall, accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, changed the name of the country to Daliao, and changed the Yuan Datong.

——

Dunsher did not die. There are two reasons why he didn't die; Or rather, there are two by chance.

First, the person who poisoned the aconitum did not know how to use it, and perhaps in a panic at the time, he actually threw the aconitum into the ginseng soup and cooked it together.

Aconitum can be used as both poison and medicine. Since it is poisonous, how can it be used for medicine? The solution to toxicity is through decoction. The longer the decoction, the less toxic it is; Cook it for two hours in a row, and it is almost non-toxic. To make a bowl of ginseng soup, it needs to be boiled for at least nearly an hour, so that the toxicity of aconitum is greatly reduced.

Second, Luo Guoqi and Hong Jixun knew a little about medical skills and rescued them in time. First, Luo Guoqi wanted to come with fecal juice to clear the intestines and wash the stomach; Then Hong Jixun judged the name of the poison; Although there are no symptomatic herbs on the Dunshe Mansion, mung beans, honey, cow and goat milk and other substances are all available, which slows down the toxicity and delays the attack.

The combination of the two aspects, Deng She will not die.

The next afternoon, he woke up. All the people and generals were overjoyed and afraid. The sequelae of the poison were still there, Deng She only felt that his limbs were paralyzed, his lips and tongue were spicy, he opened his eyes with great difficulty, and the happy faces of Chen Hu, Hong Jixun and others jumped into his eyes.

He was still a little groggy in his head, like a sticky paste, listening to Chen Hu and the others talking, and it took him a while before he reacted and remembered what had happened.

"What's going on in the city?" His last thought before he fell unconscious, the twin cities of worry; The first thought that came to his mind after he woke up was still Twin Cities. His voice was weak, weak.

As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Chen Hu took a step forward and said, "The garrison in the city reacted quickly, and the rebels and rebels have all been captured; Rest assured, general, the city is safe. It's just ,......," Dunsher asked, "how?" Chen Hu said: "After the fire, including the general's mansion, the houses in the city were damaged. ”

Dunshe pressed the bed board and was about to get up; His hands and feet were weak, so he raised his head and fell back again. Chen Hu hurriedly helped him up and said, "General? ”

"Lift me up and go to the city."

"The general just took the medicine, the toxicity has just subsided, and his body is still very weak, so he needs to recuperate for a while. The general need not worry about the affairs of the city. Chen Hu smiled, comforted Deng She, and said, "There are hundreds of rebel military districts, and the garrison in our city moved and ended the battle in less than an hour. …… The fighting ended quickly, and not many people died. ”

Deng She held on a few times, unable to move, he knew that what Chen Hu said was right, he was lucky not to die, and he lost his vitality in the end; Without some rest, it is really not advisable to move around. But he was not simply worried about the casualties of the people, he said: "The early winter has arrived, and the weather is cold in the distance of the twin cities; Nowadays, there are many dwellings in the city, and if there is heavy snowfall, many people will freeze to death,...... What about Wu Henian? ”

There were Hong Jixun, Chen Hu, Luo Guoqi, He Guangxiu, Yang Wanhu, Bi Qianniu, etc., but there was no Wu Henian. Dunshe noticed that all of them were unkempt and embarrassed, and almost every one of them was stained with blood. He immediately woke up to the fact that the rebels must not only have beaten the Shuaifu, but also the civil and military leaders in the city, and they were afraid that they would all be attacked.

His heart jumped, grabbed Chen Hu's hand, and hurriedly asked, "What about Wu Henian?" ”

Hong Jixun said with a smile: "General rest assured. Lao Wu's life was very big, and Qian Shide's rebels did not go to him for business; However, after hearing the warning information, he was loyal and brought four or five domestic slaves to rescue the Shuai Mansion, but was hit by Qian Shide and injured his thigh. He is being treated by a doctor. ”

Deng She breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Henian was a man, no virtue, but talented; He is a good hand at governing the local area and cultivating the civil affairs. Looking at the twin cities in the army, there is really no one who can compare with him, and he can't do without him.

This head put his heart down, and the other side raised his eyebrows. Listening to the meaning of Hong Jixun's words, it was not the Jurchens who made the trouble, but Qian Shide? Deng She didn't ask first, and said, "What about Luo Lilang?" The people of the Twin Cities Governor's Mansion, have they been harmed? ”

Chen Hu snorted and said, "The governor's mansion, except for the Han people, the Goryeo people, and the Bohai people, have all been imprisoned by the general. ”

"Why is that?" Deng She was taken aback and asked.

"Does the general know who poisoned him?"

Deng She vaguely guessed a little and asked, "Who?" "Chen Hu locked up Luo Lilang and others, obviously the Goryeo people were poisoned, there were many Goryeo people in his house, there were a few in the pro-army, and there were even more slaves and maids, if you think about it carefully, everyone is possible.

"But it's Li Chenggui's wife!

The answer was unexpected. Chen Hu didn't mention it, and Deng She almost forgot about her. At the beginning, because Li Chenggui injured Deng She, Chen Hu, in order to retaliate, killed all his men, leaving only a few female dependents. Wu Henian asked Deng She whether to stay or not, and Deng She got up on the spur of the moment and left them and arranged them in the backyard.

His original purpose was to remind himself at any time that even if he had world-class martial arts, he might not necessarily become a hero. I really didn't expect that a momentary intention almost killed him in Huangquan.

"She?"

After the surprise, Deng She was a little puzzled. Qian Shide made a mess and Mrs. Li poisoned, and on the surface, it is very clear that the two of them must have colluded together; The question is, how did these two people, who are not related, collude together? Further reasoning, there is still a question: Mrs. Li is obviously in peace, but she is really imprisoned, where did she get the ability to poison?

Qian Shide died in battle that night, but Brother Huang Donkey did not die. Chen Hu personally interrogated and found out the ins and outs. He spoke to Dunshe.

It turned out that as early as before Qian Shide came to Shuangcheng, Brother Huang Donkey hooked up with Mrs. Li through various channels. Brother Huang Donkey was not resentful and despised, Mrs. Li had a grudge against her husband, and the two hit it off; promised each other an alliance, and Mrs. Li became the inside line of Brother Yellow Donkey.

Speaking of this, Deng She remembered that on the eve of the siege of Qing Qianxing, he seemed to have seen a figure on the back wall outside the mansion for two nights. At the time, I thought I was dazzled, but now it seems that the person who thinks it is Brother Huang Donkey is contacting Mrs. Li.

He groaned and said, "I see." ”

If there is no Qian Shide, the two of them have no power, no power and no backing, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to do anything with Brother Huang Donkey's light commander. Qian Shide led an army of 1,000 people, and as soon as he arrived, Brother Huang Donkey immediately threw himself at him.

There was chaos last night, and their original plan was to poison Mrs. Li, poison Deng She, and break the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the house; Then take the head of Deng She, and then break the fighting spirit of the garrison in the city. Under the leaderless group of dragons, they welcomed Mrs. Li out and shouted from the heights.

The Li family was originally a eunuch in Shuangcheng, and Li Chenggui's father, Li Zichun, had been a thousand households in the Mengyuan Shuangcheng Governor's Office, and was ordered by the king of Goryeo to support the local people and recruit displaced people. Many of the residents of the city were recruited by him at that time, and although Li Chenggui died, Li Zichun still lived well in the royal capital of Goryeo and lived in the house given by the prince of Goryeo. In other words, the head of the Li family is still alive, and his prestige still exists.

In addition, the big Goryeo families in the city, they killed a lot during the slaughter of the city, and there were those who remained, they lost their past status and authority, and it is not excluded that there are those who have grievances. Qian Shide and Brother Huang Donkey speculated that as long as Mrs. Li came out, she didn't dare to respond to every call, at least she had to help the natives of the two cities, and there would be no problem.

There is an arsenal in the city, and when it is armed, it is an army.

The garrison outside the city, half of which was surrendered, would not be without dissent. As soon as Dun She died, the best possible thing was that they would be in chaos without a fight; If there is chaos, leave Shuangcheng to Mrs. Li, reorganize and surrender the army, and rescue Liaoyang. Even if it's not chaotic, it doesn't matter, you can take advantage of the opportunity of its six gods and no owner, open the city gate, and use the armed Goryeo natives to break out, not afraid of no way to live.

This plan seems bold and reckless, but if it really succeeds? Deng She broke out in a cold sweat.

Chen Hu said: "The cook used in the general's mansion has one who was originally from Li Chenggui's mansion. The slut surnamed Li poisoned the general through him. ”

With that, he took a step back, arched his hands, and rubbed the armor on his body. He said murderously: "The cook, the slut surnamed Li, Brother Huang Donkey, Yao Haogu, etc., all those involved in the chaos, etc., the last general has been tied up outside the general's mansion, just waiting for the general to give an order, or chop or rip, it will make him regret how he did it!" ”

"Yao Haogu?"

Hong Jixun said: "Xiao Ke interrogated him, if he wants to say that he is in trouble, it is none of his business." However, the man surnamed Yao did not beg for mercy to survive, and he had a sentence to send to the general. Does the general want to hear it? ”

"What?"

"He said: Qian Shide has courage and no strategy, if he plans this matter, the general will definitely die."

That's a good thing, the devil is in the details. Qian Shide's plan can be said to be half the success; If he gives Aconitum and Mrs. Li a few words of usage; Or if he had investigated the movements of Luo Guoqi and Hong Jixun in advance, and there was no one around him when Deng She was poisoned, Deng She's life would have been confessed long ago.

Chen Hu, Yang Wanhu, and Bi Qianniu were furious, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Death row prisoners under the stairs, dare to be so rude!" Please order the general, the last general is willing to take matters into his own hands and slaughter this one who is not afraid of death. ”

Deng She was silent, Yao Haogu is very talented, and his personality is also very temperamental to Deng She, but unfortunately, he is Guan Duo's descendant. If you don't kill, you can raise tigers; Killed, I can't bear it. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then, why didn't he participate in the planning?" ”

He said: It's easy to kill the general, but the dead general can't save Liaoyang; If you want to save Liaoyang, you can't live as a general. ”

It can be seen that the factions of Shuangcheng are correcting their mistakes, Deng She will die, he will be in chaos, and he will be powerless to save Liaoyang; can distinguish the importance of things, and has been avoided by Deng She many times, but he can still focus on the overall situation; is not reckless, but loyal to Guan Duo.

He also said: It is not a pity to die a Yao Haogu; But I ask the general not to forget your ancestral background, to distinguish which is more important, and hope that the general can give up the past suspicions, focus on the righteousness, and work together to rescue Liaoyang. ”

What is Dunshe's ancestry? What is more important? What is the importance of righteousness? Yao Haogu's words obviously reminded Deng She: "Don't forget, you are a Han person, you are born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" only cared about the infighting with Liaoyang, but only cheapened the Tartar Hulu. ”

Bi Qianniu spat and said, "Death is coming, clever words confuse the public!" ”

Dunsher doesn't think so. When a man is about to die, his words are good. Yao Haogu knew that he would die, he would not tell empty words or lies, these words were definitely his heartfelt voice.

Since coming into contact with Yao Haogu, his impression of Deng She is a little sleek and a little cynical, and he is not at all arrogant and noble of scholars like Hong Jixun, but he is a bit of a ruffian in the market. Now it seems that that is just his surface, and this sentence is his heart.

"Gogo endlessly, who is at fault? What are the sins of the people? Why should my people suffer! This is also what Yao Haogu once said, and Deng She muttered it several times.

It's a pity to kill such a person. This is different from not killing Mrs. Li, pure love is what it is. At this time, Deng She deeply realized for the first time why the ancients fought and talked about the romance, and there were often plots of release but not killing. Although I don't have it, I really don't want you to die.

"General?"

Dunshe raised his hand lightly, closed his eyes and groaned. No one spoke in the room, and everyone looked at Dunsher, waiting for him to decide. To kill, or not to kill? This matter has nothing to do with him, he does not seek life, but death, and does not forget Liaoyang when he dies, such a person,......, Hong Jixun saw Deng She's thoughts, and said: "Can't be recruited." ”

Zhuge slashed horses with tears, for strict military discipline; Cao Cao killed Gao Shun, and Gao Shun did not surrender. Don't the two of them love Cai? Aren't Ma Tan and Gao Shun talented? I use it; No, kill it. Dunshe slowly lowered his hand, and he made a difficult decision: "Kill." ”

Take this opportunity to clear the Liaoyang henchmen.

"When will you kill him?"

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes." Chen Hu took the order.

After the rebellion was quelled, there were many trifles. Deng She confessed to Luo Guoqi before he fell into a coma, and he was not allowed to kill or deal with him without waiting for him to wake up, so many things were waiting for him to decide. Hong Jixun and others talked about it one by one, but Deng She was absent-minded and approved one by one. Hong Jixun asked, "Is the general unwell?" Do you want to call a doctor? ”

Deng She came back to his senses, he shook his head, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Yao, Zhenru also." There is no visible blood in death, and it is okay to be hanged. ”

Hong Jixun and Chen Hu glanced at each other and realized Deng She's mood, and the two nodded to indicate that they knew. Deng She added: "When the time comes, I will personally go to see off Lord Yao." Is there any good wine in the house? Prepare a jar. ”

When he mentioned Fuzhong, he thought of two people and asked, "What about Li Jixiu and Luo Guannu?" ”

"All in jail." With Chen Hu's temper, although the two of them are innocent, if they take care of them unfavorably, they are derelict in their responsibilities and cannot escape death.

Deng She sighed and said, "Let it out." Nothing to do with the two of them. ”

"The general's meal should have been tested by the maid first. Luo Guannu, as the chief of the maids, didn't explain it clearly to Li Bouxiu, damn it; As a maid, Li Jixiu doesn't need to be told, she should know the truth of testing the poison first, damn it. ”

Killing Yao Haogu is no longer Deng She's wish; He interrupted Chen Hu's words with a little irritability, and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, let it go, let it go!" ”

Chen Hu didn't say more, it's just two maids, it doesn't matter if they kill or not, there is no need to make Deng She angry because of this little thing. He nodded, called in the outdoor soldiers, and ordered them to be released. Although people let go, there are some things that cannot but be said.

Chen Hu was angry and said, "Shuangcheng is the foundation of the general, and the Shuaifu is the general's mansion." And in the general's foundation and mansion, there are traitors, who are in danger of harming the general. General, it's time to put things in order. ”

As soon as he said it, everyone nodded. Hong Jixun was the first to agree, and said: "Not to mention the general's mansion, there are many Korean people in the city, and there are also many beautiful soldiers in the army. In this turmoil, the general needs to be vigilant, if he is unsuspecting, I am afraid that there will be a next time! ”

Deng She thought so. No matter what, it's just a first time; With the first time, there will inevitably be a second time. If you don't take some measures to make an example of the monkeys, maybe someone will take another risk.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Hong Jixun looked at everyone, especially Ha Guangxiu and stopped. He Guangxiu was unconscious, last night's military chaos, he was the third person to rescue the Shuai Mansion after Wu Henian and Yang Wanhu, and he worked hard and made meritorious contributions. Because of this, he was not locked up by Chen Hu.

Deng She knew what he meant, and said: "Everyone, please go back first, I see everyone, everyone has injuries, and you worked hard last night." There was no need to say much, he looked at everyone one by one with a smile, and the meaning of appreciation and encouragement was undoubted, Chen Hu and the others bowed and retreated. Deng She called back Chen Hu and instructed: "Go and see Wu Henian for me, the damaged houses in the city need to be repaired as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

After everyone withdrew, Deng She said, "Sir, please speak." ”

"It is true that our army occupies the twin cities, regardless of the population, the Han people are really guest troops. If we want to reverse the situation, we will put an end to it at the root. There are only two strategies and six words. Hong Jixun stretched out two fingers and said: "The first strategy, which the general has long approved, is to enrich the Han people; The second strategy is cleaning. ”

Outside, it was cold and cloudy. Inside, Dunshe reclined on the couch and listened intently.
