Chapter 813: Chang Siyuan
Chapter 813: Chang Siyuan
The news of the lockdown of outsiders is strange, but it is precisely because of the strangeness that it seems more credible. After the discussion of the generals, it is a pity that most people think that this person heard the wrong accent when he was nervous, and did not delve into the problem. However, there were people from the city who entered and exited the city lord's mansion, which still made everyone understand that the royal family of Yangguo must have intervened in the attack on the night army.
When others deduced that the royal family of the Yang Kingdom was involved in the attack on the night army, Lin Xuanzhong always had some doubts about the identity of those outsiders, and even thought that those outsiders might be from the Qingyuan Great Power or other countries, but Lin Xuanzhong, like a small number of people with similar thoughts, couldn't come up with any substantive evidence, so he could only think about it in his heart.
The more information he may know, the more difficult it is to calm his mind, and when the second spy finishes speaking, Lin Xuanzhong, who should be happy that a spy has lived up to his trust, has become more and more heavy, and he always has a feeling of being designed, but he can't figure out what the problem is.
In any case, after a period of discussion, Lin Xuanzhong could already determine that the Yangguo military had not moved. Even if someone in the imperial court intervened in this matter, only those local forces really contributed, so as in their previous discussions, unless Yang had the foresight to ambush a large number of people in the mountains before the night army entered the territory of Yang, it would be impossible to gather enough people to deal with the 100,000 night army in such a short period of time.
There are so many mountains in the territory of Yang, it is extremely difficult for them to even transport food, let alone food for so many people. With it almost certain that the local forces were not many, Lin Xuanzhong and the generals present could still think that unless those people had a bigger conspiracy, they would definitely not be able to deal with the two night armies at the same time.
And just when Lin Xuanzhong and the others came to such a conclusion, a general outside hurriedly ran into the camp tent despite the guards at the door, and shouted at Lin Xuanzhong in a panic as soon as he entered, "General, it's not good, the soldiers seem to have eaten poisonous things and have been poisoned." ”
"What?" exclaimed, Lin Xuanzhong immediately put down the barbecue that was about to be eaten by his mouth, and then looked at the remaining barbecue on the plate with a worried expression. At the same time, the other generals were shocked, and hurriedly spit out the food in their mouths one by one, looking at the generals who broke in with a worried expression.
"General, the last general has already checked, those people with abnormal bodies have dark faces and slurred speech, it is a sign of poisoning, many soldiers have fallen, what can the general do?"
"Take me to see," Without waiting for the other generals to speak, Lin Xuanzhong got up and left the big tent first, and went to a place under the guidance of the general. At a glance, the soldiers in front of them were scattered, some of them were still in pain, but the strange thing was that there were many soldiers who seemed to have nothing to do next to the soldiers who had fallen to the ground.
"Tell the general, the last general has found out that the poisoned people have eaten boiled food, and those who have not been poisoned are those who have eaten barbecue," when Lin Xuanzhong thought that those who were standing had not eaten yet, Qin Chong, who came over in a hurry, directly explained the situation to Lin Xuanzhong.
"According to the general's speculation, the poison should come from the water," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong and the generals were puzzled, Qin Chong hurriedly added.
Qin Chong's words slowly reassured those generals who were worried about whether they were poisoned, if they ate barbecue, they would be fine, then they didn't have to worry.
"Then why are we all okay after drinking the water we just fetched?" When many generals felt that they were fine, they glanced at Qin Chong in front of them and then at the generals behind them, Lin Xuanzhong didn't think what Qin Chong said was right.
"The general forgives the guilt, the subordinates don't know about this matter," as a result, when asked by Lin Xuanzhong, Qin Chong seemed to realize his mistake and couldn't explain it to Lin Xuanzhong.
"How many people in the army are showing symptoms of poisoning?Are the military doctors all investigating the situation?" Looking at Qin Chong with a blank face, he originally felt that Qin Chong had some ability to do things, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he had overestimated Qin Chong.
"General Hui, General Sima, they are counting the number of people, and the military doctors are also checking the situation, I believe that there will be results soon," Qin Chong's answer finally did not disappoint Lin Xuanzhong, and at the same time, Lin Xuanzhong had already remembered that he was killed by those bandits with poison when he was in the mercenary team. Maybe the poison in the soldiers is not only in the water, but also in the flesh of those fierce beasts.
"Take a bucket of water for tonight, some boiled meat, and find a military doctor to come over, you must find out what kind of poison is among the soldiers as soon as possible," After ordering Qin Zhong in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong quickly turned to look at Ruan Yi and Yang Shifeng and said: "General Ruan, General Yang, you two will bring all the people who have not been poisoned to the periphery of the camp as soon as possible to set up a defensive line, and you must not let the enemy take advantage of it." ”
"Yes," Qin Chong and the three of them were ordered to leave, and at the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong entrusted the three of them with important tasks, and the three of them naturally had no time to care about whether they were poisoned or not.
"General, I'm afraid that the enemy people will be stationed here long ago, so they poisoned the place where we get water in advance, presumably their men will come and attack the camp soon. With our current strength, it is difficult to resist, and we still need to ask General Fang for help as soon as possible, "There is no problem under Lin Xuanzhong's two military orders, but in Zhang Jiutian's opinion, they have more to do than that.
No matter what means the other side used to poison the soldiers below, the morale of the army has been greatly affected, and once those people take the opportunity to call, with the current situation in the army, no matter how much combat power there is, it will be difficult to resist the opponent's attack. Thinking of this, Zhang Jiutian suggested to Lin Xuanzhong for the first time.
"This ......" Lin Xuanzhong's eyes showed a little hesitation, now the situation in the army is still unknown, and there is no information from the outside world, Lin Xuanzhong has not thought about how to ask Fang Quyin for help. In addition, if the other party had been prepared, I am afraid that the battle would be over if they didn't wait for reinforcements to come, and the final result would be that they could only break through and flee, and whether it would be useful to send someone for help now, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't be sure.
In a hurry, Lin Xuanzhong quickly thought that the people sent out were likely to be intercepted and killed on the way. In this case, it seems useless to send as many people as you want, do you really want to send people to death? But if you don't ask for help, then there is no hope of getting help from reinforcements, so after thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong still plans to send some people.
Speaking of which, Lin Xuanzhong actually expected that there would be the current situation earlier, although the division of troops can take care of each other, but it may not be able to take care of it in time, the current situation confirms that Lin Xuanzhong had earlier but did not pay attention to it or could not pay attention to it, of course, the most surprising thing for Lin Xuanzhong is that the officers and soldiers in the army will be poisoned, and there seem to be not many people who are poisoned.
"Great Pharmacist, wait a minute, you will help General Qin check what kind of poison is in the soldiers, and determine whether there is a way to detoxify as soon as possible," After putting the hope of solving the poisoning problem on Xue Yin, as soon as he turned around, Lin Xuanzhong looked at Zhou Wenfeng again, "General Zhou, you temporarily bring people to fully assist the Great Pharmacist and cooperate with all the requirements of the Great Pharmacist." ”
"General Qi, you quickly send someone to notify the sentry posts everywhere to closely monitor the surrounding situation, and report any suspicious person's whereabouts immediately," said Lin Xuanzhong and turned to look at Zhang Jiutian again, "General Zhang, you and the other generals will go back to the big tent with me first." ”
"Yes. ”
......
Those who accepted Lin Xuanzhong's instructions agreed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong took Zhang Jiutian and seven or eight others back to the big tent.
"General, it is indeed possible to be intercepted if you want to send ordinary people to ask for help, but if you send more powerful people, it is still the hope of breaking through," Zhang Jiutian knew that the reason why Lin Xuanzhong couldn't make up his mind in terms of asking for help was that the transmission process was not as simple as imagined, and it took time to come back and forth, but if he didn't send someone to try, it would be hopeless, so at the critical moment, Zhang Jiutian helped Lin Xuanzhong get an idea, and this idea happened to enter Lin Xuanzhong's heart.
"Which general is willing to take the initiative to ask the rear army for help, I will give him dozens of fine horses," Zhang Jiutian reminded Lin Xuanzhong to wake up, thinking of asking for help, Lin Xuanzhong looked directly at the generals below.
"The last general is willing," when Lin Xuanzhong forced to look at the generals who followed up, many generals had a twinkle in their eyes, thinking that the errand of sending them to death was not suitable for them, and even if they wanted to die, they didn't want to die like this worthless. When they thought that going to deliver the message was tantamount to sending them to death, they naturally didn't want to come forward, and they avoided Lin Xuanzhong's gaze one after another, and no one replied.
When Lin Xuanzhong thought of letting those generals go in a different way, a young-looking general suddenly stood up, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was startled, stopped his gaze. After watching it for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong recognized the identity of the person who replied, and it turned out to be someone who belonged to Ruan Yi's faction. Ruan Yi, Qin Chong, and General Na Sima were all busy outside, and the four people of that faction were the only ones left in the camp tent.
As the youngest of the eight generals, Chang Siyuan stood up with a frank face at this moment, not embarrassing Lin Xuanzhong, and at the same time letting Lin Xuanzhong see hope.
"Okay, if you can pass the information to General Fang, Ben will directly promote you to a third-class wolf general," the greater the risk, the greater the reward, Lin Xuanzhong said that he was angry with other generals in the front, and he was even more happy to think about the source of courage.
"Yes, the last general will definitely not be dishonored," Chang Siyuan's face was shocked, and he was not afraid. The matter of transmitting the message is extremely dangerous, and Lin Xuanzhong's promised reward is completely opposite to the risk, and Chang Siyuan knows it very well. But the reason why Chang Siyuan stood up was not to fight for a credit, but to repay Lin Xuanzhong's kindness to them, and Chang Siyuan came forward for the other nine people.
