Chapter Ninety-Eight: Poisoning

Zhao Yunling glanced at Zhang Yuan, and his tone was anxious: "General Zhang, now is not the time to hesitate, what is the situation now." ”

“…… The Hu people are menacing, and for some reason their morale is unprecedentedly high, and you see the Hu people who rushed to the front, their eyes are red, as if something is driving them. ”

Zhao Yunling followed Zhang Yuan's words and looked down at the yamen, and it was not very clear to see it from too far away, but from the current situation, it can be seen that the Anxihu people are really not afraid of death, as if they can tear up the two soldiers of the Dongwen Kingdom by themselves.

Although Hu Ren has always been brave, he has never regarded death as home.

Zhao Yunling frowned, something must have gone wrong.

After a while, Zhao Yunling looked at Zhang Yuan: "General Zhang, we can't go on like this now, our army has too many casualties, and there will definitely be a problem in this area." ”

Zhang Yuan also thought so, and nodded after listening to Zhao Yunling's words: "I also have this idea, Lord Zhao, you have your own sense of proportion here, you better go back first." ”

Zhao Yunling thought that he really didn't know much about things on the battlefield, and staying here would only add to the chaos, so he nodded and was happy.

After Zhao Yunling left, Zhang Yuan asked the archers and stone-throwing people to be ready, and then let people mingjin, Rong Yan led the people on the battlefield to hear it and immediately began to retreat, Hu people chased after it, at this time, after the men and horses on both sides were separated, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered the arrows to be released, the Hu people did not check for a while, and the people who rushed in front were all hit by arrows.

The soldiers guarding the city gate opened the city gate and closed the city gate after letting Rong Yan and them come in, Hu Ren had already chased under the city wall at this time, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered the rolling stone to retreat, and let people bring oil to pour it directly down, and then put the fire down, and suddenly retreated a little.

After Rong Yan entered the city, he went directly to the city wall, glanced at the battle situation below, and the corner of his eyes jumped.

It won't last long, and the Hu people are menacing this time, as if they will never give up.

Zhang Yuan grabbed his free time and went to Rong Yan's side: "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine."

Rong Yan only responded lightly, and went directly to the side, suddenly trying to rush down, after a slight break after the fire attack, Rong Yan saw Yi Kuo commanded below, his eyes were stunned, he snatched the bow and arrow from the archer on the side, and aimed directly at Yi Kuo.

Yi Kuo was riding on a horse, and suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air in his ears, followed by a lifetime of shouting, he subconsciously went to the side, but his body was crooked, and he shot directly to the shoulder blade, Yi Kuo's face suddenly changed, he looked up at the city wall, and saw Rong Yan standing on the city wall at a glance, looking at this side with cold hatred, Yi Kuo's face was pale and covered with wounds.

The people around him came up and took a deep breath: "Retreat!" ”

Yi Kuo was injured and temporarily retreated, Rong Yan and Zhang Yuan were relieved, just now Yi Kuo really paid attention to the scene below and didn't notice that he was injured here, but according to the appearance of Yi Kuo's attack this time, I am afraid that the next time it will be more ferocious, Rong Yan's face is heavy, even if he goes back to the big tent, his face is not very good, Zhang Yuan and the rest of the lieutenant generals are there, they look at each other, and the tent is quiet.

At this time, no one knew how to speak, and in this battle, they had a lot of dead and wounded soldiers.

On the other side, Yi Kuo was wounded by an arrow, although it was not very deep in time, and he dealt with it quickly after coming back, but at this time he was still leaning on the bed with a pale face, he had strong willpower, and he did not faint, but looked at the people guarding in front of the bed, and was silent: "Shumu, you go and do one thing." ”

"Great Khan? What do you command? ”

"I'm injured now, my morale has been hit, and Rong Yan is too cunning, we also suffered a heavy blow this time, but Rong Yan treats our man as a promoter, this worry can't be ignored, you go find some Fangshi."

Shumu was taken aback: "Great Khan ......"

Yi Kuo's face changed, and he yelled: "Don't go yet!" ”

Shuki hesitated, nodded and went out, Yi Kuo felt a little better, and closed his eyes after letting the rest of the people go out.

When Rong Yan and Zhang Yuan discussed things, Zhao Yunling did not go over, but sent a letter to Zhang Wenqiao and Zhao Changsheng to send out.

After a few days, there seems to be no movement on the Hu people's side, but no one dares to relax, Rong Yan leads the troops to practice every day, and there are people patrolling all the time, keeping vigilant, it is impossible for the Hu people to have nothing after the chicken all of a sudden, there is definitely something behind this.

After seven or eight days like this, there was still no movement on the Hu people's side, even if Yi Kuo was injured, but there were actually many soldiers and generals who could be used under Yi Kuo's hands, but none of them led the troops.

On the ninth day, Zhao Yunling suddenly received a letter from a merchant in the Western Regions, asking for papyrus from the beginning of the war, and there would be no movement in the Western Regions.

The letter was sent to Zhang Wenqiao, and then Zhang Wenru turned it around, Zhao Yunling went back to the tent and left after getting the letter, opened the envelope, and first said that the people who followed him to the Western Regions before had no problems, but they couldn't come back for the time being, and they all found and settled down, so she didn't have to worry.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunling couldn't help but smile, at that time, he really didn't go to the desert to find someone in vain, this Western Regions merchant is worth it now, he is a very good friend, at this time, he risked his life to see her off, and told her that those people were fine. Wu Jiu Literature

But it's okay, Zhao Yunling continued to look down.

When he saw the back, Zhao Yunling's face changed.

"Recently, I got news that the Hu people seem to be looking for Fang Shi, saying that they are going to use it against the soldiers of Dongwen Kingdom, you have to be careful."

This is the last sentence, Zhao Yunling thought that it was probably because the merchants of the Western Regions did not know much about Fang Shi, so he didn't say much, but the Hu people looked for Fang Shi to deal with them, Zhao Yunling thought about it, and directly took the letter and went to Rong Yan's tent, Zhang Yuan happened to be there when she went.

Said hello: "Lord Zhao." ”

"General Zhang."

Zhao Yunling nodded and directly handed the letter to Rong Yan's hand: "Look at this." ”

Rong Yan opened it and looked at it, and saw that his face was a little strange when he saw it, and then handed it to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was silent for a while after reading it: "This news is fake at first glance, and the way is something that only we in Dongwenguo will believe, and what Hu people believe is not a Fangshi." ”

"Besides, the leader of the Hu people is injured, so his brain is not so unclear, this is on the battlefield, Fang Shi is just a deceitful liar who is afraid, what use can it be?"

Zhao Yunling pursed his lips, even though he thought so in his heart, but after this period of time, he had already understood that Yi Kuo, the leader of the Hu people, was by no means a person who did foolish things as soon as his brain was hot, he definitely had some reason to do this, or to make them take it lightly, or to have some other plans, in short, this matter was definitely strange.

"Lord Zhao, where did you get this news from?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Zhao Yunling glanced at Zhang Yuan, knowing that the news came inexplicably, and it was normal for Zhang Yuan to be suspicious.

He explained two sentences: "I made a few friends from the Western Regions when I was doing business before, this is a letter they sent me, last time we also received a letter from him on the way from the capital, but there is no news during the war, this person doesn't have to lie to me with such a thing, so this matter is probably true." ”

After Zhao Yunling finished speaking, he looked at Rong Yan again: "No matter what they want to do, we must be vigilant." ”

"Hmm."

Rong Yan nodded: "Yikuo is not a foolish person. ”

Saying this, Zhang Yuan also reacted, his expression was much more serious, and he deliberately bowed his hand towards Zhao Yunling: "Lord Zhao, it was my fault to suspect the source of your news just now, but at this time, the two armies are fighting, I have to be careful, please understand." ”

"General Zhang is also cautious, I didn't think much about it."

Zhao Yunling smiled: "I looked at the matter of grain and grass before, since you already know about this matter, you think about it, I still continue to be busy with my affairs." ”

After Zhao Yunling left, Zhang Yuan looked at Rong Yan: "Your Highness, if this matter is true, it must be really a little strange, but it's a pity that our people can't get into the place of the Hu people, and they can't inquire about it." ”

"Yueqing can give it a try."

Rong Yan pondered for a moment, asked people to call Yueqing, and after the order, Yueqing left.

And after Zhao Yunling left from here, he didn't worry too much, this matter is not too serious, at most, it is just a matter of people's ears and eyes, those Fang Shi can't play a role, and they are still busy with food and grass after they go back.

But when he got up the next day, Zhao Yunling's eldest son hurriedly ran over in front of him: "Lord Zhao has an accident!" ”

Zhao Yunling is in charge of all the logistics matters, which side of the court is completely useless, Zhao Yunling looked at the soldier with a bad face in front of him, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone died just now, and the doctor said that he was poisoned, Lord Zhao, you better go and have a look."

"Poisoned!"

Zhao Yunling's face changed, and he hurriedly followed the soldier to the medical tent, several people had been sent over, and the dead one was the first to find out, because he didn't care too much about it, so the treatment was not timely, his body was already stiff, and he hadn't been sent out, and the rest of the people were rescued, but he leaned there without any spirit, Zhao Yunling glanced at it and went directly to the doctor: "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Zhao, these people are poisoned, but what kind of poison is there yet, there is no definite result, and now these people who have been poisoned have been temporarily stabilized, and they have not taken much, so they have to come back, but it's a pity that the previous ......" The doctor who spoke was the doctor in the original army, shook his head as he spoke, and sighed.

Zhao Yunling looked at the dead soldier lying in the middle, his eyes were hot, he looked away, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched.
