Chapter 174: Poisoning
Li Jin looked at the map in front of him and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of worry.
"General, do we have to conquer Daijun?"
"If I had changed to a different direction, would the situation have improved?"
Yuan Yao's words fell, but Li Jin directly denied it.
"At present, the princes of all walks of life have gathered more than 40,000 troops here."
"The terrain of Daijun is dangerous, but at the same time, it is also the best way for my army to penetrate into the hinterland of the princes."
"If we were to change course, not only would we be extremely passive, but more importantly...... I don't know when Sun Quan will call. ”
Li Jin said helplessly.
Although he is very good at leading troops in battle, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Now they are ready to send it.
If the route of the march was changed, Sun Quanbao, who was eyeing them in Yangzhou, might not have stabbed them in the back.
When he thought of this, Li Jin regretted it even more.
If Sun Quan could be captured alive that day, maybe he wouldn't be able to take a step at a time like he is now.
In Daishiri.
The princes gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although there are only 40,000 troops in Dai County now, the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"Even if Yuan Yao has an army of 200,000, he can't show the advantage of his strength."
"And we just need to wait for another two months, and when it comes to winter, we will be safe."
Dingxiang County Taishou Chen Ping said.
Hearing this, the surrounding princes nodded one after another.
It's like what Chen Ping said.
They only had to hold out for another two months to get through the most difficult phase.
Once it enters winter, Yuan Yao's army will inevitably not be able to lengthen the supply route.
"That's true, but ...... That Li Jin is by no means a good type. ”
"If he comes up with some sinister ideas, we won't be able to prevent them."
"After all, you can see what happened to Zhang Kuo."
Yunzhong County Taishou Nie Haisheng shook his head slightly.
Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but look stunned.
They know Zhang Kuo's fate very well.
At that time, Li Jin led his army to besiege Zhang Kuo, but the other side relied on natural danger to keep tens of thousands of troops out.
At this critical moment, Li Jin disregarded the safety of the people in the city and ordered a fire attack and burning.
Suddenly, the city was in flames.
Seeing this, Zhang Kuo had no choice but to accept Li Jin's surrender.
However, when the other party entered, he suddenly turned his face and killed Zhang Kuo with a sword.
The entire city was slaughtered after Li Jin led the army in.
Women, children, and the elderly were not spared.
It's enough to be called a violent army.
Now that they have a firm grip on Daijun, it's not clear what kind of conspiracy Li Jin will use.
"How are the people moving? How many people are still stranded? ”
Nie Haisheng turned his head to look at Chen Ping.
Nowadays, many princes are scattered and have a solid line of defense.
And Chen Ping of the Daijun defense line is the main person in charge.
"At present, nearly three-quarters of the people have been evacuated from the county."
"The other quarter is still lobbying."
"I hope Li Jin's attack doesn't come too early, at least wait until we evacuate the people here..."
A look of sorrow flashed between Chen Ping's eyebrows.
He's really worried that something bad is going to happen right now.
Li Jin's methods are too insidious and vicious.
However, just as Chen Ping was about to continue chatting, the sound of war drums suddenly came out of the outside.
It's called!
Chen Ping's color immediately changed.
"Quick! Return to your places at once! ”
"Li Jin is calling again!"
Chen Ping's expression was slightly flustered.
I really want to come to something.
Before he could get ready, Li Jin actually led his troops to fight.
Not much.
The defenders of Daijun relied on the city and fought with Li Jin's army.
It's just that this attack Chen Ping found that the military formation of Li Jin's army seemed to be a little disorganized.
And the combat power is not as strong as it was at the beginning.
A wave of doubts suddenly came to my heart.
However, he still calmly commanded the defenders of Daijun to counterattack.
Li Jin's army was also attacking the city fiercely.
It's just that because of the dangerous terrain, the mountain road is narrow.
The number of troops that can be directly contacted by the two sides is only 20,000.
This is why the 200,000-strong army has been unable to capture Daijun for a long time.
Looking at the defenders of Daijun who were gradually adapting to the offensive rhythm of Li Jin's army.
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this is only a tentative attack.
However, Chen Ping did not know.
It's not far from here.
Li Jin was carefully observing the situation in Daijun City.
Trying to find a way to conquer Daishire.
Unexpectedly, this search really made Li Jin discover the situation.
Due to the difficult terrain, almost all of the water required by Daijun comes from the rivers in the nearby low-lying areas.
Because of its low lying, the river flows very slowly.
If you can poison this river... Maybe it is not necessary to take Daijun without blood.
But this will also threaten the comfort of the people in the city.
After all, the source of drinking water for the people of Daijun is also this river.
But Li Jin didn't care so much.
Who made this bunch so unlucky?
He wasn't to blame for that.
If you want to blame, the defenders of Daijun will not open the gates and let them in.
Li Jin also had to make this decision.
Soon, the drums sounded again on the battlefield.
Li Jin's army, which heard the sound of drums, also receded like a tide.
Only thousands of corpses were left lying on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jin quickly found Yuan Yao and told him the idea of poisoning.
"General, isn't this poisoning a bit cruel?"
"There are still a lot of people in Daijun City."
"These people are the foundation for Zhongguo to develop in the future!"
Yuan Yao heard the other party's thoughts and hurriedly denied it.
In fact, the last time Li Jin allowed his soldiers to slaughter the city, Yuan Yao was dissatisfied.
It's not that Yuan Yao thinks Li Jin is cruel.
It's no problem to kill Zhang Kuo and his men.
But what are you doing killing those unarmed civilians?
Without these ordinary people, how could he Yuan Yao display his grand deeds?
It seemed that the gap had reached Yuan Yao's thoughts, and Li Jin also shook his head.
"Your Majesty, Daijun is like a hard tortoise shell, which cannot be broken by external force alone."
"The only thing we can do is for Daijun to collapse from within."
"And what about the dead? If we don't, more soldiers will die here. ”
Li Jin said seductively.
Hearing this, Yuan Yao couldn't help but hesitate a little.
In the end, he nodded and said, "Since General Li Jin has already said so... Then leave this matter to the general. ”
With that, Yuan Yao took out his token and handed it to Li Jin.
After a brief explanation, Li Jin turned around and left.
