389. Turn water into wine, and turn stones into gold
"I see, these people from Erlongshan have already fought with Fang La of the southern country first, and they have been killed and injured by sixty percent of their combat strength. There was a fierce battle with Wang Qing again, and the casualties had reached eight or nine out of ten. Now there are less than a thousand people left, and the people who are strong in the outside and the middle are dry, and the people who can fight tomorrow are exhausted, and they will definitely be conquered by us! ”
And after hearing that Qiao Daoqing himself went into the tiger's den and brought back the "inside information" about Erlong Island, in the big tent, a bunch of officials of the Jin Kingdom showed joy on their faces.
"Then can't we stay in this 'fairy world'?"
"This place is very good, after my Dajin establishes a foothold here, I will definitely be able to create a thousand years of achievements that are not inferior to the pre-Qin and Tang Dynasty."
"I don't pursue a thousand years of merit, I just want to be able to meet the gods and pass on my method of immortality."
Some people have even thought about how to find the "fairy fate" after gaining a foothold in this "fairy world", so as to enjoy glory and wealth forever.
"Don't rejoice too soon."
Qiao Daoqing, who was still holding the Five Fowl Phantom Demon Fan in his hand, shook his head and poured some cold water on these "subordinates".
"Don't forget, although Wang Qing and Fang La have been defeated, the rest are not a threat. But the Liao State is still strong, and there are still thousands of soldiers to fight......"
Then, the conversation turned to Liao Guo, who was attacking Erlong Island left and right with Tian Hu.
"I heard that before sunset, the Liao State sent people to make an alliance with His Majesty to cooperate with the two sides to destroy Wang Qing and Erlong Mountain first, and then each fight for the 'Supreme Treasure Core' with their strength."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."
"The Liao people have always had wolf ambitions, and this time they entered the land of our Central Plains, which in itself violated the no-war alliance with the pseudo-Song Dynasty, and it is not worthy of trust."
"Besides, these two dragon mountains are also the land that belongs to my Shenzhou after all. To say something that is not very good, even if we can't get it, we shouldn't fall into the hands of this tiger and wolf alien race! ”
Qiao Daoqing shook his head and said to Tian Hu.
"The non-widow does not agree with the prime minister's words, but now we have 'made an alliance' with the Liao people, and the widow agrees with him personally. If the troops are withdrawn and not attacked, won't it violate morality and slap the face of the widow! ”
Tian Hu stared at Qiao Daoqing, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood."
"Poor Dao is not saying that we will not attack, but that we should continue to attack on the surface, but in fact, we will secretly reduce the offensive and let the people of Liao share more pressure!"
Facing Tian Hu's gaze, Qiao Daoqing was not afraid at all, and shook the fan in his hand.
"The prime minister is right."
"Indeed, we can deal with it in vain, let the people of the Liao Kingdom contribute more, they lose more manpower, and we are more likely to become the final winner!"
And the rest of the civil and military in the big tent were also moved, and they praised Qiao Daoqing's words one after another.
"This matter ......"
Even Tian Hu felt that Qiao Daoqing's words were very reasonable, and he didn't think that Qiao Daoqing wanted to reduce the offensive pressure for Erlong Island.
However, after seeing the reaction of his ministers, Tian Hu felt a sense of displeasure in his heart, and he wanted to say no.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, something has happened."
However, at this moment, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside.
Immediately after, the two guards carried a military general with a crooked helmet and blood gushing from the gap in the armor on his chest, and entered the camp tent.
"I ...... Our grain, grass, and silver and gold have been taken away! ”
Today's fighting had been going on for a day, and it slowed down after nightfall.
Therefore, Tian Hu ordered people to escort grain and grass and a large amount of gold and silver from his own territory in the rear to the front line.
The former is tomorrow's ration, the latter is to honor the bounty promised in today's battle!
Although gold and silver are not really of much value at all in this land of inheritance, it is still a good way to boost morale for ordinary soldiers.
But I don't want to have an accident when I deliver it!
"Who intercepted it, the people of Erlong Mountain on the volcano?"
Tian Hudi suddenly got up, and his huge body was like a small mountain, making people a little breathless.
This is also the reason why Tian Hu wanted to storm the Demon Volcano at the beginning, leaving this one nail is too big a threat to the back road.
"No, it's ...... It's a person from Liao! ”
The general, who had a pool of blood on the ground, gasped in his mouth, and his face turned pale.
"What, Liao!"
"The Liao people took our food?"
"Sure enough, it was said by the prime minister, the Liao people can't be trusted!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the big tent.
"Are you convinced?"
Tian Hu's face was calm, and his eyes were like a tiger staring at the injured general.
"Absolutely, the minister knocked down his helmet in the battle, and the general he saw with his own eyes whether it was his appearance or the armor and weapons on his body, he was a Liao general, and he made a black gold dragon head Liao knife!"
The military general insisted on it, and it was even more evidence of the wounds on his body.
"Damn!"
"This Liao man is really ambitious."
"If we take our grain and grass before the battle, and the army can't eat enough, how can we defeat them tomorrow!"
And after hearing this convicted words, the military generals in the big tent immediately scolded the Liao people.
"How much food is left in the house today?"
Only Qiao Daoqing was not surprised, shook the magic fan and asked a civilian official in charge of logistics.
"There's only some dry food left, barely enough for a meal tomorrow morning!"
The civil official said.
"That's not going to work!"
"Erlangmen has been attacking for a whole day, and there are many casualties, and we must be rewarded, otherwise morale will inevitably be low!"
A military general with his arm bandaged stood up and said loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty has promised a reward, and if the sergeant can't see the reward, I'm afraid it will shake the heart of the fight!"
And another Jin State general, who was burly, more than two meters tall, and whose rank had reached the eighth rank of the Mortal Rank, also opened his mouth and echoed the Dao.
"Indeed!"
"Not bad!"
Soon, this view was supported by more than half of the staff.
In the face of these coaxing subordinates, Tian Hu kept a calm face and said nothing.
"The prime minister has great powers, can there be a way?"
The logistics civil servant was already sweating on his forehead, and then suddenly remembered something, and asked Qiao Daoqing with anticipation.
"What's so hard about that?"
Hearing this, Qiao Daoqing smiled confidently.
"Take some dry food and a container of water here, and bring in a basket of fine stones covered with a cloth!"
"The five ghosts move yin and yang, carrying ......"
And when the civil official took these things, Qiao Daoqing recited a spell in his mouth, and then waved the five birds magic fan in his hand.
Suddenly, a pile of unpalatable dry food turned into steaming cooked beef and sheep meat, and in the empty utensils itself, there was a lot of fine wine, exuding the smell of wine that made the people in the big tent drool.
And a few baskets of stones, after the cloth was taken away, turned into dazzling gold!
"Send these down and inform the army, it is your majesty's reward!"
"This ...... It's really wine! ”
Gold is just that, all the generals present are high-level generals, and they understand that in this "fairy world", gold is not necessarily valuable, so they just take a few looks.
And a military general with good wine can't wait to pick up a pot of wine and take a sip.
"Good wine, good wine. It's so delicious, I'm afraid it's not the legendary 'jade liquid elixir'! ”
Then, his face was even more excited.
"If you like it, you can take an altar and go."
Qiao Daoqing shook his fan and said with a smile on his face.
"Prime Minister, now that the war is imminent, it is not appropriate to drink alcohol in the army."
Looking at a group of Wenwu Palace members who were excited after hearing Qiao Daoqing's words, Tian Hu frowned secretly, and then said in a slightly deep voice.
"Your Majesty is right, it's the poor road that is not well thought out!"
Qiao Daoqing did not have any displeasure on his face when he was slapped in the face by Tian Hu.
Instead, he nodded, and the five-bird magic fan in his hand shook again, only to see that the jar itself exuded an attractive and delicious wine, but it turned into plain water.
"This ......"
Many of the generals showed dissatisfaction on their faces.
It's just because it's different from them who are leading troops alone.
Along the way, the smell of fine wine was faintly heard from the "golden chariot" where Tian Hu was, and there was also the sound of warblers and swallows coming from the battle.
But when they come here, they can't even drink a sip of wine, they can only "drink water", which makes people inevitably have thoughts in their hearts!
Moreover, compared with Wen, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the generals is even heavier.
Because, many people on the field have been fighting for a whole day today, and they are more or less injured, and the reason why they are clamoring for a "reward" just now is actually the idea of being placed in Tian Hu's "golden chariot", those "treasures" that were confiscated after coming to the land of inheritance.
However, Tian Hu obviously didn't mean to take out these "treasures" at all, and just wanted to use some "gold and silver" that was not very useful to send them away.
However, although they were dissatisfied, no one dared to take the initiative to stir up trouble, after all, the increase in power that Tian Hu gained after entering the Land of Inheritance was far above them.
So, I could only pour the "water" in the pot in my hand very depressed.
"Hmm!"
However, the wine is in the mouth.
The expressions of several Tian Hu generals moved suddenly.
The reason is that although the contents of the glass look and smell like white water, the throat is full of the same taste of fine wine as before.
And in this matter, no one was stupid enough to say it, and they all glanced at Qiao Daoqing happily.
As for the rule that alcohol is not allowed in the army, it is naturally impossible to have substantial binding force on a bunch of military generals who were born as mountain and forest robbers, not to mention that they are just "drinking water", and there is no possibility of getting drunk and making mistakes, right?
Not to mention, these "wines" that appeared in the big tent were really not wine, they were indeed just "water", and they were directly made by Qiao Daoqing with the method of "transporting" in the earth evil spell.
There is only one place in the area of Snake and Ape Island where a water source exists, and that is the "Radiant Spring" in the Radiant Lands.
Although Erlong Island did not establish a defense line in the snake ape island, it also did one thing, that is, it urged the power of luck to greatly strengthen the "radiation power" of the Radiant Land.
Originally, the radiation power of the spring water in the radiant land was very powerful, after all, it could awaken the "abnormal energy" in just ten days, and the radiation was absolutely terrifying, and now the "radiation power" contained in the water after being specially strengthened is even more amazing.
If you don't drink it, it's nothing, but once you drink a lot of it and it spreads all over your body, the effect will be visible quickly!
Originally, this trick was not so easy to perform.
Because the "power of radiation" is also an extraordinary power, it also has the possibility of being felt.
For example, this afternoon, after Wang Qingjun arrived at Snake Ape Island, Li Zhu discovered through the Dingtian Compass that Snake Ape Island "possessed an evil spirit", and strictly ordered Wang Qingjun's people not to drink this water!
However, Ma Ling, the cultivator on Tian Hu's side, "Divine Horse", had been killed by Wu Qiao.
And the "Phantom Demon King" Qiao Daoqing ......
"Your Majesty, the covenant with the Liao State!"
Qiao Daoqing brought up this matter again.
"Hmph, let the attackers stop and rest, the widow is sleepy, sleep first, and when the army goes out at dawn tomorrow, take Erlong Mountain and capture the 'treasure'!"
