Chapter Twenty-Nine: Suspicion of Identity

The night erodes the vast land, and the entire Diaoyu City is shrouded in darkness, and the weather is still cold, especially at night.

That night, Hu Shicong came to General Wang Jian's barracks to report on the yellow liquid, walked into the barracks, and saw that General Zhang Yu was also there, and the two gathered around the stove to discuss the matter of defending the city.

"It turns out that Vice General Zhang is also here, so it's even better, I'll go to you again if I save it." Hu Shicong smiled and said quite amiably.

Zhang Yu saw that it was Hu Lao, so he asked, "Is that yellow liquid eyebrow-eyebrow?"

Hu Shicong nodded.

"Hu Lao, come, let's sit down and talk while baking the fire. Wang Jian helped Hu Shicong to sit down, and Zhang Yu moved his position to make some room for Hu Shicong to roast the fire.

Hu Shicong sat by the stove and roasted the fire, and said unhurriedly: "This yellow liquid is first refined from malachite powder from Tianzhu, and then mixed with sulfur oil to dissolve. This liquid is not toxic, but after combustion, it will produce a large amount of yellow smoke, once the smoke enters the throat, it will choke the throat, once smoked by this smoke, the eyes will immediately be like ten thousand ants biting, and the vision is blurred. ”

"Does Hu Lao have a countermeasure against this medicine?" asked Wang Jian.

Hu Shicong looked at the burning charcoal fire in front of him, and continued: "General Wang ordered people to immediately rinse their eyes with clean water, but it needs to be rinsed clean, and it will take a while and a half to recover their eyesight. He sighed.

Wang Jian comforted: "Old Hu, you don't have to be too harsh. ”

"I think there must be a master of drug research in the Mongolian military camp! It's just that the wind direction is not in their favor recently, and the old man thinks, if the wind direction changes, will they use the wind power to poison us?" Hu Shicong speculated, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Wang Jian couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.

"Hu Lao reminded me that they couldn't attack for a long time, and it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't use extraordinary means. ”

Zhang Yu picked up the tongs and turned the charcoal fire in the furnace, Zhang Jian couldn't help but feel depressed when he looked at the red-hot charcoal.

Hu Shicong frowned, and suddenly thought of something.

"I met a teenager today, he said his name is Mei Yong, I don't know what position this teenager holds in the army?"

Zhang Yu explained: "Oh, that little brother, he didn't serve in the army, the general just took him in temporarily. ”

"This person has a peculiar skull in the back of his head, if the old man is not mistaken, he is a young man with a very high endowment, which can be described as a rare occurrence in a hundred years. Hu Lao's tone was deep, and his expression was quite serious.

Zhang Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Old Hu, don't promote this young man, he's the same as his name." Dumbfounded, it's 'useless'. ”

Although Zhang Yu was full of nonsense, Hu Lao had a serious face.

"I have read countless people in my life, and if I don't guess wrong, this person's nature is definitely not as Vice General Zhang said. ”

"Does Hu Lao suspect that this person is deliberately covering himself?" Wang Jian was a little concerned, he knew Hu Shicong's eyesight, and he also believed in his eyesight.

"Yes and no, you'll find out just by trying. Hu Shicong said that he wanted to confirm his conjecture, as a doctor, it was rare to meet such a strange person, so he was very curious.

Wang Jian stroked his beard and said, "Well, I'll try him tomorrow." ”

"The general, the old man will leave first if he has something!" Hu Shicong saw that the matter was almost reported, thinking that there were still a lot of injuries in the military medical hall, and he couldn't leave him, so he got up and said goodbye.

"Old Hu, you go slowly. Wang Jian and Zhang Yu said in unison.

After Hu Shicong left, Zhang Yu asked Wang Jian: "How does the general plan to test that kid?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll think about it. Wang Jian replied,

While speaking, Mrs. Wang Jian walked into the room, and looking at her expression, she seemed to have something to discuss.

"The general, I also said goodbye, Zhu Quanyi said that there is an important military information transmission, I will go and see first. Zhang Yu is a sensible person, and when he saw his wife come in, he found an excuse to leave.

After more than a month, just as March was picking up, the new grain and grass of Mongolia arrived, the Song army spies reported, and the Mongolian military camp was also cleaned, and there was a great tendency to storm Diaoyu City again.

Meng Ge followed the strategy of the last siege of the city, and then comprehensively attacked the west gate of the country, Dongxin, Qisheng and Zhenximen, Wang Jian had already taken precautions, and the generals had already been properly deployed, and the Mongol army attacked for several days, but there was no progress.

On the one hand, the relationship between Meng Ge and Kublai Khan was already delicate, and in addition, since Kublai Khan attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, he had made a lot of contributions, but he was trapped in Diaoyu City for several months, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable; on the other hand, the Mongol army was good at running and shooting down the river, making it difficult to give full play to the advantages of water warfare, and it would hinder the speed of the advance of the army, so it was impossible to launch an all-round attack; therefore, this suggestion was abandoned by Meng Ge.

In April, the weather changed dramatically, and it rained heavily for more than 20 days.

When the weather cleared, the striker Wang Dechen led the elite night attack on the city, the city was lost, Wang Jian led the soldiers to fight hard, although after a night of fierce fighting to recapture, but the loss of troops was also very large, Wang Jian redeployed the city defense according to the strength and pass.

After more than two months of tossing, Meng Ge did not advance an inch, the soldiers and horses were damaged a lot, the surprise attack on a rainy night did not make progress, and the new grain and grass were almost consumed, so he collected a large amount of grain and grass from the nearest territory, and decided to fight the last battle against Diaoyu City.

After the last battle of Yizicheng, the strength of the defenders of Diaoyu City was greatly reduced, and suddenly heard that the Mongolian army had once again replenished grain and grass, Wang Jian was quite worried about this; according to past experience, everyone knew that as long as the grain and grass of the Mongolian army were burned, the Mongolian army would naturally not be able to attack the city, but if they wanted to burn the grain and grass, they had to go out of the city and sneak attack, so how easy was it to say? Such a passive defense was not the way after all, so although everyone was worried, there was nothing they could do.

Wang Jian suddenly thought of Hu Shicong's words, his eyes lit up, and he secretly thought, "Why don't you try him?" Then he called a soldier on duty outside the door and ordered him to go to the camp where Zong Zheng was.

After Zongzheng came to Diaoyu City, he was forced to leave the city because the city gate was closed, so he stayed for two months.

The soldier came to Zongzheng's residence and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang. ”

"Mei Yong, are you there?" the soldier asked.

When Zong Zheng heard the shout, he opened the door and asked, "Brother Bing, is there anything wrong with you?"

"General Wang, please. The soldier replied.

Zong Zheng followed the soldier to the inner hall, only to see General Wang and several other generals standing in the hall, Wang Jian's expression was serious.

Zong Zheng felt that something was wrong, and came to Wang Jian and asked,

"General Wang, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Come on, arrest this Mongolian spy. Wang Jian suddenly ordered loudly,

After that, two people detained Zong Zheng, and Zong Zheng was puzzled, after more than two months, why did General Wang mention this matter again. So he argued: "General Wang, didn't I explain to you clearly that day, I was brought in by a woman in white. ”

"What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?" Wang Jian angrily rebuked,

"The woman in white. Zong Zheng replied naturally without thinking about it,

"Where is the woman in white now?" Wang Jian asked angrily,

"Yes, yes, I don't know where she is. Zong Zheng was talking with each other, but he was so asked by Wang Jian that he couldn't answer.

"Since you don't know where she is, that's your. Wang Jian took advantage of the situation to provoke Zongzheng again.

Seeing this, Zong Zheng also knew that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to say: "I'm not talking nonsense, anyway, believe it or not." Then he put on a non-caring appearance.

"A few days ago, Yizi City was attacked by the Mongolian army, you must have heard about it, and we have reason to suspect that you, a traitor, secretly revealed the news of the city's defense. ”

"I didn't!" Zong Zheng said loudly, with an upright and fearless attitude.

"Well, since you said no, I'll give you a chance to prove that you're not a Mongol spy. Wang Jian went around in a big circle, but returned to the point.

"How do you prove it?" asked Zongzheng.

"This morning, we received an express report that the Mongols have collected grain and grass again, and the existence of these grains and grasses poses a great threat to our army, if you can burn the grain and grass of the Mongols, we will naturally know that you are not a spy, how can there be a spies who burn their own grain and grass?

After hearing this, Zong Zheng felt that Wang Jian's method could indeed prove himself, but he couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

"The general is very unreasonable, first, I don't have that ability; second, even if I promise you, aren't you afraid that I will go to the Mongolian military camp and not come back without waiting for the grain to be burned?"

"Hehe, you boy, you have reminded me, so that you only have to tell me how to burn their food. We don't have to burn it yourself. Wang Jian said,

"Hmph, you can't help it, what can I do. Zong Zheng simply put on an indifferent attitude, and his words became a little sharp, mixed with a little anger.

Wang Jian was greatly displeased, and felt that Zong Zheng had a little arrogance in his bones, but the method to test him had already been proposed, how could he give up halfway, not do decently, put pressure on Zong Zheng, and how could he easily try out Zong Zheng's true face, Wang Jian thought for a while, and said with a serious face,

"Come, put this spy in prison, and if he can't think of a plan to burn the enemy's grain and grass within three days, he will cut him down!"

Saying that, two people escorted Zong Zheng out, Zong Zheng was shocked when he heard it, he never thought that General Wang Jian, who had a good impression on him when he first came, would kill himself indiscriminately, but he didn't cry out, it was not his temperament, he was escorted to the prison without a sound.

After Zong Zheng was escorted out of the inner hall, Zhang Yu approached Wang Jian and asked in a low voice, "General, don't you want to test him with this method?"

Wang Jian put on a serious look and said: "Whether this kid is as Hu Lao said, you will naturally know if you force him!"

Zhang Yu gave a thumbs up and praised: "The general is really smart." ”

Wang Jian said with a smile: "After many years of battlefield, can't you try a hairy boy." ”
