Chapter 37: Gongsun Shuzi (2)
I did shout at the top of my throat, but it was really noisy, except for a few people in front of me who stopped their movements in surprise, the rest of them still made noise on their own. Looking at me with firm trust, Huan Ke drew his sword out of its sheath and swung it towards the tall tree beside the road. The sword qi is surging and terrifying, the leaves are falling one after another, and the sword marks are deep, and there is the legacy of Li Guang's shooting tiger.
Everyone immediately stood on the spot like broken marionettes. I sighed shallowly: "The people can't bear to compete with the soldiers for food, so deep understanding of the righteousness, Dan heart and blood, really moved the soldiers." It's just that at this moment, it is far from the time for the pit viper to sting his hand and the strong man to untie his wrist. With all due respect, I would like to remind you that before you eat any fruit or wild herb, you must check whether it is poisonous or not. What the old man just threw was the ginkgo husk," I raised the object in my hand: "When I sniffed and looked, I knew that the ginkgo was not yet ripe." If a large amount of raw food is eaten, it will naturally cause diarrhea, abdominal pain or convulsions, and even death in severe cases. β
While explaining, I remembered my mother's parents, but at this moment, I am not allowed to be sad. The civilians immediately panicked again, and I hurriedly reassured: "The symptoms have not appeared for a short time, and we will detoxify everyone immediately." Please take out the pots and pans from your home and give me any remaining white husks, or go find some licorice. β
The pace was hurried, and the place finally fell silent. I held the white fruit shell and was distracted, and Huan Ke called me twice before coming back to my senses: "...... Whisk sandalwood? What comes to mind? β
With a tacit chuckle, I turned the husk and took Huan Ke's hand and put it in his palm: "It's just a gradual prototype, which should be regarded as a whimsical idea." But when I think of licorice, I think of some wild vegetables that can satisfy my hunger. β
With white fruit husk or licorice decoction water as the antidote, the people all recovered after taking it, and their wariness of the army gradually disappeared. In the army, the attitude of the soldiers who were not convinced of me also changed. Before sunset, I went to the edge of the field with a few women and children to pick some shepherd's cabbage and non-poisonous wild mushrooms, and went door to door to find some eggs and radishesβbut many people had some food in stock, but they didn't want to show the mountain dew before, so as not to be red-eyedβborrowed a large pot and stewed the egg custard with shepherd's cabbage. When the people came in search of incense, they simply summoned the soldiers to one place, and although the number was insufficient, at least everyone had to taste it. I ate a bowl with Huan Ke, knowing that he was tired and gave him most of it, and when I was drinking with relish, I felt that someone was pulling the corner of my clothes, and I looked down at a boy who had just gone to dig wild vegetables with me: "Sister, can we eat such a delicious meal every day?" β
The voice was tender and loud, and it reached everyone's ears, and everyone paused. I stroked the top of his head: "Sister can't guarantee it." β
The boy squealed in disappointment, and I laughed, crouching down to wipe his face: "You know, we're playing a game with the neighboring city right now. Maybe it's a long time, maybe it's over soon. If we win, we will be able to eat better than this anytime and anywhere in the future. β
"Really!" The boy cheered, "Then we're going to win!" β
Everyone who listened silently laughed. Huan Ke also leaned over, pinched the boy's cheek, then straightened up and proclaimed: "Soldiers, people, Huan Ke knows that you are inevitably worried in your hearts. Wei Yeqi is brutal and ruthless, brave and unscrupulous, and has long lost the hearts of the people, and no one in Dingshan City sincerely serves him. Regardless of whether Xingzhou is very close to Dingshan, there is a danger of pond fish and curtain swallows, and even if our Hu Ru compatriots are under the tyranny of Wei Ye, they are in dire straits, like fish swimming in a kettle, and we will have to do our best to save them. General Yang Kan took righteousness and attacked Wei Ye's army with all his might, and our army's chances of victory increased sharply. The soldiers are fast, Huan Ke will lead the army out of the city tomorrow and recover Dingshan! Huan Ke firmly believes that the night is only for a while, the scorching sun of the Ming Dynasty is back, and we will definitely win this battle! β
The commander made a promise in person, everyone was high-spirited, and the army and the people were finally united. I secretly expressed my sullenness, looked back at Huan Ke and smiled, suddenly remembered something, and turned to Zhao Houyou: "Lord Zhao, I don't know if there is a music workshop in the city, can I borrow a pipa from Tan?" β
Zhao Houyou was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, you don't need to find a music shop, you can have it in the lower official mansion." β
Personally fetched a white wooden pipa for me, Zhao Houyou understood that I wanted to inspire the people, and I could use this to express my attitude to Dingshan Weiye, and approvingly led me up to the city tower. Needless to say, Huan Ke has ordered everyone to gather under the city tower. I put on a posture and laughed at the crowd: "The words of the prince just now reminded me of the first song, and I am ugly at this moment." After that, he stroked the strings and raised his hand to play "Hai Qing Takes the Swan".
The anger is more than Xiaohan, raising his head and eyebrows, and breaking the cauldron. Fight first and attack the heart first.
Standing on the tower in my clothes at night, I looked at the direction of Dingshan, knowing that Huan Ke was already behind me, and muttered to myself: "The situation outside Dingshan City is complicated, and Wei Ye's department has many foot soldiers, and it will definitely lead our cavalry to the jungle to fight." Tomorrow will be a tough battle. β
"I've figured out what to do." Calm and firm, Huan Ke's eyes were resolute: "It's just that this method is opportunistic." If it is as I think, it will be a matter of course; If not......"
I turned around and looked into his eyes, which were always full of stars: "I believe that no matter what the situation, you can always overcome difficulties." Therefore, the outline of the clever plan, the sandalwood is willing to hear the details. β
The summoned generals came in turn, treated all the people, Huan Ke pointed to the map, pointed out Wei Ye's troops, and analyzed the battle situation: "There is a jungle in the western suburbs of Dingshan City, Wei Ye will rely on his advantage, and he will definitely ambush here. He was not good at horse warfare, so it was only in the Pingchuan wilderness that our army had the greatest chance of victory. According to Huan Ke's intentions, tomorrow he will first send light cavalry to intercept it, and then feign defeat to lure it to the ground. Divide our army into three divisions, I led the Chinese army, selected 5,000 good marksmen, and marched forward in a phalanx with iron locks and horses, and the other two divisions were placed on one side to cooperate with the main force to attack. β
He waved his hand and someone took the iron lock, and the people passed it on. "Wei Wild is brave and underestimates the enemy, once he is in the middle of the plan, he will definitely break through the central iron horse phalanx. The flank troops attacked from both sides, forming an encirclement trend. The iron lock was sent back, and Huan Ke casually arranged it into a ring: "This is Huan Ke's plan, what do you think?" β
After a short silence, Zhu Feng spoke first: "This plan is reasonable and well-founded, and there is no objection from his subordinates. In response, Zhu Feng said: "But there is only one point, and my subordinates feel that it is a little far-fetched." The premise of this plan is that Wei Ye uses foot soldiers. Although his army was not good at cavalry, there were always cavalry. Once Wei Ye sensed the situation and ordered the cavalry to take over, wouldn't our army have no choice but to let it be slaughtered? β
"Not bad." agreed, Huan Ke frowned: "This is exactly where this plan is missing, and it is also where it has to be solved." How to make Wei Ye's master use or even only use foot soldiers, if this condition is not met, then all plans will be on paper, and all previous achievements will be wasted. β
In the silence, I looked at the shadows of the trees outside the tent, and the old thoughts flashed in my mind, and I hurriedly looked for this thought. The people were puzzled to see that I had to come back after leaving the camp. Putting the white fruit shell on the map, I met a puzzled look: "There are many reasons why Wei Ye only uses foot soldiers, but the least trivial is that his cavalry is unusable and cannot be used. The generals should still remember today's Baiguo, right? β
The generals nodded, and I continued: "Ginkgo seeds are easily soluble in water, and the toxicity is reduced after heating, so it can be soaked in water for half an hour before eating, and then heated and cooked, which can greatly improve the food safety. β
"If you see it coming out on the side, it means that the water that has soaked ginkgo is extremely toxic." Huan Ke understood and smiled slightly: "Water is colorless and tasteless, and it is easy to mix into all kinds of food. It is indeed traceless, and it is all gone. β
Everyone understood, but I frowned slightly: "It's just that this matter is also easier said than done." Because it is not easy to be suspected, food contaminated with this poisonous water can easily circulate around. If all Wei Ye's soldiers were poisoned, he would definitely stand still, but he would be suspicious and more vigilant. Only if his already incompetent cavalry has an accident and it doesn't matter if the foot pawn happens, Yi Wei Ye is proud of his personality, and even if he feels different, he will still attack conceitedly. β
"Keding Mountain is huge, how should the poison be put into the cavalry?" Zhu Feng kept pointing his fingers on the table: "The person who poisoned him needs to know the Wei Ye military camp very well, be familiar with the location of each department, and be able to ensure that the foot soldiers are not affected." Such a person can only be found from Jozan Castle. β
"The only one can do that."
Huan Ke suddenly spoke, we turned to look at him, he looked at the husk, but his eyes didn't know where to fix: "Wei Ye's deputy general, Dong Yan, can take on this important task." Dong Yan and General Yang Kan even made friends, and it was rumored that they had sworn brothers. The death of General Yang Kan will inevitably cause a gap between Dong Yan and Wei Ye. And Dong Yan once bitterly advised Wei Ye not to start a war with Hu Ru, but Wei Ye did not accept it. β
"In this way, Dong Yan is the breakthrough." I know that he and Yang Kan have fought side by side, but they have been holding back their emotions, so they have to approach without saying a word and comfort them silently. Huan Ke smiled very shallowly, and stretched out his hand to interlock his fingers with me: "It's better to be completely sure than hopeless." β
"Hopefully, maybe it's bigger than you think." But it was Zhao Hou's deep voice, and his expression seemed to be happy and worried: "Xiaguan and Dong Yan used to be neighbors. Although they are not brothers, they are also a little thin with each other. The matter of discussing with Dong Yan will be left to you. β
"It's not that Fu Tan despises Lord Zhao, but this matter is definitely not something that can be done by one person." I said sincerely: "Although Wei Ye does not accept Dong Yan's words, he will never stand by and watch him interact with Xingzhou. Most of the officials in Dingshan knew Lord Zhao, and the chance of Lord Zhao walking in front of Dong Yan unharmed was really very low. Unless......" I paused: "...... Lord Zhao surrendered. Wei Ye's defense will be a little relaxed. β
"The princess wants the castle guard to betray us pretendically?" Zhu Feng reacted very quickly, he already knew what I meant, and was slightly excited: "At that time, Lord Zhao only needs to say a little about the inconsequential things in the army, then Wei Ye will definitely be wary, and he can take the opportunity to find Dong Yan and persuade him!" He happily threw his hand at me: "The princess is high! β
"It's not that easy." Huan Ke lowered his eyes and vetoed: "Wei Ye himself is also a general, and he has been marching for many years, and he can't hide the truth from the affairs of the army." If there is nothing really beneficial to him, Wei Ye's defense will never be reduced. β
Everyone was frustrated again, I looked straight at the fruit shell, and heard Zhao Houyou grit his teeth and say, "I can't think of so much." Tomorrow I will fight against the water, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, I must go! β
The rest of the people hesitated, but they didn't know how to persuade me, and my calm and steady voice was very clear in the night: "What is beneficial to Wei Ye is not necessarily intelligence. I raised my eyes: "It can also be human." Like me. β
