(6) The plan of the national teacher
(6) The plan of the national teacher
The end of one battle is nothing but the beginning of another.
Outside the city of Wanqiu, thirty miles, in an open area on the edge of the jungle.
The sunlight shines through the dense woods, refracting dappled light and shadow, shining on the staggered Lanling silver-armored soldiers.
"National teachers, you can recognize the poison in them. ”
Gao Qing sat under a big tree, cleaning the blood from his mouth while asking Zikui in an inquiring tone.
The master of Lanling Country, Zikui, walked back and forth in the crowd, carefully probing.
"Come on, take all the water brought by the other soldiers and distribute it to the poisoned Silver Armor Army and their spirit beasts. ”
After Zikui ordered, he turned around and walked to Gao Qing's side.
"General Gao rest assured, the soldiers are fine;
Judging by the residual smell on their bodies, as well as the symptoms of poisoning;
The medicine used by Gongsun Eying is 'Junying Lily of the Valley', which is very weakly toxic;
The soldiers only need to drink a lot of water and urinate to relieve it;
Then use the Yuan Force in the body to expel the residual toxins. ”
During Zikui's cultivation in Yuanzong, he also learned a lot of basic skills for healing diseases and refining medicine.
Later, he worked as a "flower planter" in Lanling Kingdom, and naturally saw a lot of exotic flowers and plants.
This Junying lily of the valley is not a high-level herb in the first place.
Zikui quickly identified it, and it was not a problem to find a way to crack it.
Under the guidance of Zikui, the Lanling soldiers quickly improved their detoxification and healing.
The poisoned spirit beast, because its physique is already stronger than the human body, the kung fu of a cup of tea has all returned to its original state.
Seeing the soldiers gradually getting better, Gao Qing was slightly relieved, but his heart was becoming more and more conflicted at this time.
Gao Qing remembered the peaceful and beautiful face on the head of the city, and remembered every word she said.
War is war, you die and I die, cold-blooded and ruthless.
But Gongsun Eying gave the soldiers of the two countries who fought to the death a chance to live.
"I will never kill Lanling soldiers indiscriminately", these words have been repeated in Gao Qing's heart.
Even he began to wonder if it was really necessary to send troops this time.
"General Gao's brows are tightly locked, is it the same as what I am worried about?"
Zikui's boundless questions overwhelmed Gao Qing.
"What is the national teacher worried about?"
Gao Qing was confused, his eyes full of puzzlement.
"The king sent you and me to lead the army to occupy Wanqiu as quickly as possible, cut off the retreat of the Xuanyuan army, and shake its military heart;
Then he went straight to Luoshen Peak and formed a siege with Chiyan and Qi Sect, making Xuanyuan, the god of war, in a dilemma;
and borrowed the army of Chiyan and Qi Sect to contain Xuanyuan's main force;
In this way, the king's 200,000 troops marched into the hinterland of Xuanyuan, and they entered the realm of no one·······"
Zikui couldn't help but sigh when he said this, with a bitter face.
"Now, Wanqiu not only did not take it, but also lost nearly 1,000 soldiers;
In this way, our king's original plan to occupy Wanqiu and take Pushui directly fell through;
You and I have missed the warplane, lost the troops, and committed such a big mistake, how can you go back to meet my king!"
Zikui sighed deliberately, peeking sideways, Gao Qing's reaction at this time.
In the Battle of Wanqiu, although Lanling's loss was not painful, it was definitely a fiasco.
Zikui held the military power and strengthened his strength, and repeatedly encouraged the king of Lanling to send troops to Xuanyuan;
He also recommended himself and was willing to be a pioneer.
Now that the army has been defeated, the consequences can be imagined.
Therefore, he deliberately tied Gao Qing to himself;
It is to rely on the power of the Gao family in Lanling to protect themselves;
He knew very well that as long as he had Gao Qing's back, even if King Lanling was guilty, he would not have to worry about his life.
In addition, he also knew that he was nominally the national teacher of Lanling, but he had no real power in his hands.
In the eyes of many meritorious and famous families in Lanling, he is still just a flower master who has been raising flowers by the king's side for ten years.
If you want to turn defeat into victory and make things turn around, you still need the support of Gao Qing.
"According to the words of the national teacher, what will we do now? ”
Gao Qing is upright by nature and brave and loyal.
Listening to Zikui's words, he couldn't care about his injuries, so he hurriedly got up and asked.
"General Gao, we might as well take a gamble. ”
"What is an all-or-nothing bet?"
Gao Qing asked with a blank face.
Seeing that Gao Qing was touched, Zikui was overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned into Gao Qing's ear and whispered.
"This place is less than six hundred miles away from the Falling God Peak, and your silver-armored birds are marching with all their might, and it doesn't take an hour to reach the Falling God Peak;
If it is not bad as expected, at that time, the two armies of Xuanyuan and Chiyan and Qi Sect were already at war;
You enter from the rear and hit Xuanyuan Heng by surprise!
I wonder what the general thinks?"
After listening to Zikui's plan, Gao Qing hesitated.
"The plan of the national teacher is good, but it is a pity that our siege is unfavorable, the morale is frustrated, and the soldiers' bodies have not fully recovered, I am afraid that it will ······"
In fact, what Gao Qing said was true, but the crux of his hesitation. But it is not here, but it is a contradiction from the depths of the heart.
The words of Sun Eying, the prince of Wanqiu City, have always troubled this young general who is full of enthusiasm for serving the country.
Let him begin to redefine war.
This will also affect his future life choices.
"General Gao, don't worry, you fly on a spirit beast, and your luck heals the poison on the way, and half an hour is enough to recover. ”
Zikui didn't know what Gao Qing was thinking.
Thinking that he was just worried about his injuries and the soldiers' injuries, he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hurriedly grabbed the conversation.
"The strength of Chi Yan and Qi Sect is far superior to Xuanyuan, plus your Bird Silver Armor Army, besieging from front to back, even if his God of War Xuanyuan has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to resist;
Now it is time to unitary, and when the others are trapped and exhausted and return to the camp, it should be around the end of the day;
By then, it was getting late, and on the way to ambush my troops, 20,000 longbowmen and crossbowmen fired 10,000 arrows at the same time, and they were sure to win a great victory;
A few days later, the main force of the king arrived, and Wanqiu City was in the bag;
We've made up for it!"
Zikui knew that with the current time, it was too late for light horsemen and crossbow soldiers and horses to rush to Luoshen Peak.
If you have enough time on the way to set up an ambush, you can also inflict heavy damage on the Xuanyuan army.
This is the result of careful consideration in the context of an accurate analysis of the current war situation.
It must be said that it is thoughtful and well-deployed.
After hearing this, Gao Qing was naturally full of agreement and nodded again and again.
After all, he is the general of Lanling, after all, he also wants to make meritorious contributions, dispelling the hesitation that just sprouted.
The soldiers listened to the order and set off. ”
Zikui and Gao Qing have discussed and decided, and after a little rectification, he ordered 50,000 Lanling soldiers and horses to march in the direction of Luoshen Peak again.
