"What the hell is going on?" Wang Ye was anxious, "Could it be that someone poisoned the grain?" ”

After speaking, Wang Ye couldn't help but deny it: "It's impossible, this camp for hoarding grain is already heavily guarded, especially after we burned the grain and grass in Beiyuan, the prince even ordered to strengthen the guards to prevent them from retaliating with a tooth for a tooth, even if it is the ability to reach the sky, it may not be able to sneak in and poison!" ”

"It's true that it's poisoned, but it's not people who poison the food." Chu Yan'an raised his eyebrows and looked at the grain in Beiyuan, "It's the grain that poisons these." ”

Hearing this, Wang Ye was even more puzzled.

"How can food poison food!"

Shi Yu looked at Chu Yan'an, "You mean, the grain brought back is adulterated with poison, and it is similar to volatile, so the other grains hoarded in the same tent also have problems?" ”

"That's right." Chu Yan'an nodded, "This poison is colorless and tasteless, if it is just a simple investigation, you can't tell anything at all." So even if the military doctor examines it, it won't find anything. I suspect that it is because the tent is relatively airtight, and as it volatilizes, other grains will also be contaminated. ”

"According to this argument, isn't there poison in the air now?" Wang Ye's face changed again, and he wanted to ask Shi Yu out immediately.

Chu Yan'an shook his head and denied his idea, "Although I don't know how this poison is prepared, according to the current situation, even if it volatilizes in the air, it should not be harmful to the human body, but it will cause food to deteriorate." Otherwise, with such a violent poison, the person who carried the grain would have been poisoned long ago. ”

Wang Ye was stunned, and his face turned pale, "So, Beiyuan has planned it from the beginning, and what we are waiting for is that we will rob this grain back......"

He spent so much effort, and even broke a lot of soldiers, but the food he brought back harmed so many soldiers, and even the prince was poisoned......

"You can't blame you for this." Shi Yu looked at Wang Ye, "The top priority now is to find a way to solve this matter." ”

According to the combat power in the current military camp, if Beiyuan launched an attack, it would be effortless.

Wang Ye took a breath of cool air, looked at Chu Yan'an, and clasped his fists, "Young Master Chu, can you prepare an antidote?" ”

Chu Yan'an shook his head, "Although it is certain that this grain is poisonous, I am also confused about what kind of poison it is." ”

It is colorless and odorless, volatilizes in the air, and will not be poisoned after inhalation, but it will cause the rice grain to deteriorate, and vomit and coma after eating. This is the first time he has encountered such a poison.

"Then if you can't detoxify in a short time, will your life be in danger?" Shi Yu was worried.

Chu Yan'an was silent for a while, but there was still no way to confirm immediately, "I need to observe their situation again, and I can't draw conclusions for the time being." ”

Leaving the camp, Chu Yan'an and Lin Huaijin continued to take care of the poisoned soldiers.

Shi Yu and Wang Ye went to the room again to confirm.

A few sacks of rice were left over from noon, and the rest were taken out of the tents. I think it was because of this that all the soldiers were not poisoned.

And Nie Mingyu has always eaten with the soldiers, and he happened to drink poisonous porridge.

After leaving the room, some soldiers vomited one after another, until the second half of the night, probably all the poisoned soldiers had already attacked, and there was no new situation.

But in the entire barracks, nearly half of the soldiers had problems, and the rest of the soldiers had to take care of them, and the barracks was already in chaos.

Shi Yu looked at the light gradually shining through the sky, and his heart was very depressed.

Although Chu Yan'an and Lin Huaijin roughly confirmed that the poison in the soldiers was not too deep and would not be in danger of their lives, it was not so easy to detoxify.

And since it was Beiyuan who made a move in the grain, then this news could never be blocked, and if Xiao Chengfeng launched an attack, they would be vulnerable.

"Your Majesty, the last general should be damned, it's the last general who didn't notice the trap!" Wang Ye knelt on the ground, and the whole person regretted it. If the current situation can be solved, even if he is asked to commit suicide immediately and apologize, he will not hesitate!

"General Wang, you get up first."

"Your Majesty, the last general ......"

"Get up!" Shi Yu accentuated his tone and looked at him seriously, "The sky is about to dawn, and Beiyuan should take action soon, what we have to do now is to think clearly about how to deal with it, not to review and admit mistakes." ”

Shi Yu's words made Wang Ye perk up a little, and he quickly stood up.

"Please ask the emperor to withdraw from the barracks and return to Hecheng, and the last will take the remaining soldiers to resist Beiyuan, if ...... If the last general dies in battle, Hecheng can only rely on the emperor. ”

Wang Ye felt a burst of shame and sadness in his heart.

The emperor has never been on the battlefield, and it stands to reason that he should not expect the emperor to be able to defend Hecheng no matter what, but now in this situation...... He didn't even know what else he could say.

"This battle will definitely be lost." Shi Yu's face was solemn.

"Even if you lose, the last general will definitely fight until the last moment! And the last general believes that the soldiers will not back down! ”

Shi Yu was silent, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "No, we withdraw our troops." ”

"What?" Wang Ye's face changed.

Shi Yu's eyes were firm, "There is no need to make senseless sacrifices, not to mention that there are still so many soldiers who need to be taken care of now." Abandon this place and withdraw to Tsurujo. ”

"No, Your Majesty, let's not mention that if you withdraw directly, without this barrier, Beiyuan will be able to directly attack Hecheng, and the city may not be able to accommodate so many soldiers."

"Now this barrier is vulnerable, and if you continue to hold here, you can only block Beiyuan for a day or two at most, and you will lose a lot of troops. As for the soldiers who can't be accommodated......"

Before Shi Yu could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Let the poisoned soldiers stay."

Shi Yu and Wang Ye turned their heads to look, only to find that it was Nie Mingyu.

His face was still pale, and he was supported by the military doctor, and he walked over weakly.

Realizing what Nie Mingyu had just said, Wang Ye hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this must not be, how can you leave the soldiers behind!" ”

In this way, not only the poisoned soldiers, but even other soldiers will probably feel chilled.

"So far, there is no other way, Hecheng must not be lost, this king will stay with the soldiers." Nie Mingyu's tone was heavy.

He didn't want to leave any of the soldiers behind, but now in this situation, he could only focus on the overall situation, and the poisoned soldiers withdrew into Hecheng, not only could not defend the city, but also needed to be distracted and taken care of by the soldiers.

Wang Ye's opposition was even more intense, "Once this is the case, wouldn't it be that the prince and so many soldiers will be placed under the butcher's knife of Beiyuan!" ”

Shi Yu frowned and looked at Nie Mingyu, "Uncle Huang wants to gamble?" ”
