Chapter 223: Gathering the Generals
"Do you know what kind of poison this is?" Li Huai asked.
Yue Qianqian nodded, "This should be cartilage powder, a poison that can affect low-level martial artists, and people who fall into this poison will be weak for a period of time, but it is not fatal." ”
If you are poisoned by this poison in the Hinayana realm, you will be paralyzed for a moment, which is simply fatal for a martial artist.
But if you encounter the Mahayana realm, it is almost useless.
"Is it common?" Li Huai asked again.
"This poison is the most widely used, and even mortals use it to hunt wild beasts." Yue Qianqian replied.
For example, wild boars and the like have rough skin and thick meat, and they can't be killed with an arrow, but if you use this poison, as long as you break the skin of the wild boar, you can make the wild boar lose the ability to act in a short time.
Wild boars are definitely a pest in this world, there are wild boars everywhere, not to mention destroying crops, and also rushing into residential areas to hurt people.
However, with the development of the breeding industry in Liangzhou, wild boars began to be raised into edible domestic pigs, and gradually there were few in sight.
Now is not the time to discuss wild boars.
Who sent these assassins?
Li Huai is suspicious of anyone, but he can't find any clues, could this be related to the recent singing of the Liang Army?
"I'm not going to eat, I'll go back first."
Li Huai said to Yue Qianqian, no matter what, start with someone singing about the declining Liangjun, after all, there are no other clues.
"I'll send you."
Yue Qianqian didn't dare to let him go back alone, what if the assassin appeared again, she mounted her horse and escorted him all the way to the camp.
It is already a residential area, surrounded by streets, vegetable markets, and markets.
Just wait for the people on the list to move over.
As soon as Li Huai came to the thousand-year-old tree, Shangguan ran over anxiously.
"Where did you die this night, why didn't you say hello." Shangguan blamed.
Li Huai was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "I went to Yue Qianqian, didn't Yang Dong tell you?" ”
"No, I haven't seen her for half a day." Shangguan said.
"She must have forgotten." Li Huai guessed.
"What's the hole in the chest of your clothes?" Shangguan Coco's eyes are still very pointed.
Li Huai smiled and said casually: "The road is not easy to walk, there are branches everywhere, I rode too fast, and it was broken." ”
"I don't know what to pay attention to."
“……”
As they spoke, they walked into the tent and brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge to the small bowl.
Li Huai took the porridge and instructed by the way: "Call Ge Liang." ”
"Yes."
Lou Xiaowan nodded and went to ask someone to find Ge Liang.
Li Huai sat down to drink porridge, while Shangguan went to fetch him a new set of clothes.
Suddenly!
Li Huai sensed that something was wrong, "Someone has moved the sand table!" ”
Every time he finished using the sand table and covered it, he habitually folded a corner and put a pen on it at random.
Now, the folded corner is gone, and the position of the pen has moved.
Li Huai put down the porridge and uncovered the black cloth.
Sure enough, someone has moved, and the layout of the army has changed, but I don't know if anyone has redeployed the army according to the sand table.
There shouldn't be, for such a big thing, I must ask for instructions.
"That's not right!"
Li Huai found that this was not a mess, Li Huai's previous arrangement arranged all the heavy troops in Longxi County to prevent a sneak attack in the Western Regions, and at the same time let Su Ding keep an eye on Helan Mountain.
This has a huge drawback, that is, he can only wait for others to start fighting, and he is completely passive defense.
Li Huai also saw this new arrangement, and he discovered this drawback.
This new arrangement is completely different.
Remove the artillery battalion of Longxi County, and remove part of the blood wolf hussars, leaving only about 3,000 cavalry, patrolling in the west of Longxi County, once attacked, do not engage the battle, directly behind, lure the enemy deep.
Concentrated superior forces, including Yan Gaoyang's artillery battalion, temporarily limited cavalry, and the Dingxi Army.
Attack Yanzhi Mountain!
With such a large advantage of troops, attacking a Yanzhi Mountain is simply too simple, and it can be taken in half a day at most.
The Western Regions couldn't react at all.
After the Western Regions reacted, he had already set up artillery positions in Helan Mountain, Yanzhi Mountain, and the eastern section of the Qilian Mountains.
This terrain is exactly a triangle, which completely controls the traffic from Xihai to Mobei.
It is equivalent to cutting the entire east and west regions in half, and entering and exiting the Hexi Corridor is up to him.
It's just a clever arrangement.
And that's just the offense.
And Shou.
If the Gaochang royal department breaks the jar and attacks Longxi County, the cavalry retreats and does not engage the battle, and the Gaochang royal department will not be able to advance or retreat.
If they entered, the Liang army could directly raise troops from Helan Mountain, directly attack his flank, and even go around behind him.
If you retreat, you will waste manpower and material resources.
"Who did this?" Li Huai is left with only this one question, if he can find her, he must worship as a military advisor!
Li Huai's attention changed again.
"Xiao Wan, summon Qi Yuanbai and other senior officers to come to my royal court to discuss matters, and tell them that the content of this meeting is top secret, and let Li Xin set up sentry posts around."
"Yes."
Lou Xiaowan nodded, and went out to call someone again.
Shangguan came down from the wooden house at this time and brought new clothes, "Hurry up and change it, why haven't you drunk this porridge, and the small bowl has been boiled for you for a long time." ”
Li Huai couldn't listen to anything now, he raised his head and asked directly, "Last night, before I came back, did anyone come here?" ”
Shangguan thought about it for a moment and shook his head, "No, only Ge Liang came to ask in the morning, and when he learned that you were not there, he left without coming in." ”
"That was last night." Li Huai secretly guessed that who was able to come here, it must be the people around the royal court.
Wrong.
Last night, Li Xin led the troops to the banker's house to get people, and the troops here are empty, and anyone may sneak in.
Sneaking in, just to help him?
What exactly is the picture?
Li Huai didn't suspect Yang Dong, but because Yang Dong was only an adjutant, under Yang Lingyun's brilliance, she didn't have a commendable record.
So I didn't doubt her much.
"What's wrong, did you lose something? Let you put some maids and followers, you are troublesome, now it's okay. Shangguan said when he saw the opportunity.
Li Huai hurriedly shook his head, "It's okay, I didn't lose anything, I'll just ask casually, about the maid's entourage, let's take it slowly." ”
Shangguan glanced at him and said no more.
Li Huai re-covered the sand tu, picked up the lotus seed porridge and started drinking, and as soon as he finished drinking, Ge Liang came.
"Chen Geliang see the prince."
"Come in."
Ge Liang came in, as if he had something to say, but he held back, he waited for Li Huai to ask first.
"The dealer and that Xu Taicheng, how is the interrogation?" Li Huai asked first.
"It's all explained." Ge Liang replied.
"Did they say anything about singing about the Cool Army?" Li Huai asked.
Ge Liang shook his head, "The minister interrogated, they really didn't know, they all listened to the wind and rain, it should be someone deliberately plotting." ”
He was also shocked when he heard someone singing about the Decline of the Liang Army, and it had spread, and he had already sent someone to investigate.
It's just that there's no news yet.
Li Huai saw Shangguan leave with the old clothes he had changed, so he whispered, "I met the assassins this morning, and I guess they may be in a group. ”
Ge Liang was shocked when he heard this, "Assassin! ”
"Shh
"Be quiet."
Li Huai didn't want Shangguan to worry, so he couldn't publicize it, but just instructed: "Two cases and one case, investigate thoroughly!" ”
"Yes!" Ge Liang nodded.
He saw that Li Huai seemed to have nothing to say.
Ge Liang said tentatively: "Lord Wang, in the case of the Zhuang family, do you really want to take off the title of their scholar clan?" ”
"Should I pick it according to the law?" Li Huai asked.
Ge Liang nodded, "Yes." ”
"Then pick it." Li Huai said lightly.
"But......" Ge Liang was a little reluctant to speak, which was rare for him.
"If you have any doubts, just speak up." Li Huai said.
"Lord Wang, are we offending the scholar clan too much." Ge Liang said cautiously.
In ancient society, the scholars were the core of society, and they provided the most scarce cultural people and officers.
Without them, the whole society would be a mess!
Since ancient times, none of those who have offended the Shi clan have ended well.
Although the development of Liangzhou is centered on industry, agriculture and commerce, who will manage these workers? Who will manage the land? Who will manage the market?
There is still a need for the gentry.
However, the development of workers, peasants, and merchants will inevitably harm the interests of the noble class, and the two cannot be perfectly balanced.
A decision must be made to choose one head.
"The law is unshakable, this is the foundation of Liangzhou's governance!" Li Huai said solemnly, he has already made a choice.
"What about the Shi class?" Ge Liang asked.
"Do what you have to do, if they give this king a face, this king will take away the obligation of education from them!" Li Huai said unceremoniously.
There is no scholar clan, they can also cultivate talents, as long as they dare to say nothing, Li Huai will immediately prove it to them.
The gentry class can be outlawed!
Seeing that Li Huai's attitude was so resolute, Ge Liang didn't say anything anymore, and arched his hand and said, "The minister will do everything accordingly." ”
I was about to step back.
"Don't go yet." Li Huai left him behind.
Forthwith.
"Wait for the ministers, see the prince!" Qi Yuanbai and the others arrived together.
So many officers came.
Ge Liang used his brain a little, and his heart was horrified, this is ...... It's going to war!
