Yesterday, a master of the Qi State broke into the encirclement of the Jindu Palace City, desperately rushed to the front of the palace, and shouted in full spirit: "Qi State reinforcements are coming!"
Before he could say anything more, he was killed by the martial arts masters who swarmed up.
But his words spread far away to the besieged royal palace in the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
Everyone knows that this is a word of encouragement.
The guards and soldiers standing guard on the wall of the palace for twelve hours naturally passed this sentence to King Jin, and also to everyone who was besieged in the palace.
The soldiers who had been besieged for several days suddenly became excited and their morale soared.
"Hahaha, Gu is indeed the order of the emperor. Even if the Buddhist master rebelled, there will be noble people to save him! Qi State can still count on it at critical moments!" Jin Wang was also happy to go around the palace, wishing to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Several ministers and ministers next to him looked at King Jin's appearance, but felt infinitely sad in their hearts.
The country will fall, blood will flow like a river.
Not to mention the ordinary people of the Jin Kingdom, even the royal clan of the Jin Dynasty suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
Outside the palace.
"What you said is very true." After careful consideration, Elder Leopard said solemnly: "Unexpectedly, my son would have thought that the purpose of spreading these words is not only to boost morale, but also to kill all Jin princes and heirs. Then The king of Jin is greedy for life and afraid of death, once he has hope of life, and reinforcements can be expected, he will definitely not surrender again."
Old Leopard admired Dugu Mo's quick thinking. If he hadn't pointed out this vital point, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of it at all. Even so, I had to think about it before I understood. It can be seen that Dugu Mo, who has never thought of this point, dare not say that he is superior in strategy, and he can definitely be called a genius.
However, Dugu Mo never imagined that there would be an untitled bastard who would be used by the Qi country. The intelligence is not perfect, and it is difficult to draw this conclusion no matter how clever it is.
The birth of the idea of reporting reinforcements. It was Fo Shuai who suggested to Concubine Qi to inform the spies in Jin State in an expedited way of 800 miles and choose a dead man to do it. The purpose is naturally to make King Jin
"It doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't surrender, he still has other ideas. It's just that the excitement of the past two days has been in vain. King Jin will definitely refuse to surrender. It's like listening to books without applause and rewards." Dugu Mo said: "But it's okay The play is also wonderful. Let's deal with those piles of heads."
He casually pointed at a few piles of heads in the distance.
Those were the heads of Prince Jin's own heirs, many of whom were underage parents and children, and even infants.
It also includes the fat prince who betrayed his brother. When all the brothers lost their heads, he couldn't save his life either, and Xiangshang's head became an inconspicuous one in the pile.
Old Leopard greeted his subordinates: "Come here, burn the head."
Dugu Mo woke up after hearing this: "Wait a minute, it's better to throw it into the palace."
When he said this, he didn't even have a sneer, and he talked about such a thing that hurt people's hearts calmly.
Old Leopard applauded and laughed loudly: "A clever plan! In this way, the morale in Jin's palace that has just been raised will fall back in an instant."
"Not only that, we also have other things to watch." Dugu Mo smiled lightly.
"Could it be that the female relatives were captured and beheaded?"
Dugu Mo shook his head.
Old Leopard hesitated and said, "Or is it humiliating in public? Isn't that inappropriate? I'm afraid I'm going to risk the disgrace of the world."
"No, no, if I do such a thing, my reputation will be bad." Dugu Mo shook his head in a gentlemanly way: "I value my reputation very much."
"..." Old Leopard looked at him speechlessly.
"Who told the King of Jin not to surrender? I am too lazy to enter the palace. There are female general Xuanwu soldiers and 20,000 elite soldiers guarding the outskirts of Jindu, and there are 30,000 of us in the city defense of Jindu. You should rest easy and continue watching the show." "Dugu Mo smiled. Pointing to the palace: "I have sent people to check some things in the past few days, and it will come in handy now."
Old Leopard was taken aback. It turned out that Dugu Mo was not really as leisurely as he appeared to be: "Oh? What is the young master investigating?"
"According to the records of the officials' yamen, we did a roll call from house to house and found out which high-ranking officials in Jindu are not in the mansion. If there is no record of going out to Jindu, they must all be in this palace to accompany King Jin."
Old Bao thought suddenly: "Could it be that the young master wants to behead their family members?"
Dugu Mo laughed: "That's right, that's right. Let's take a look, King Jin can bear it. Can these officials bear the scene of their sons being beheaded in front of their eyes?"
This is a vicious trick... Old Leopard was in awe.
The two people here are discussing the next poisonous plan, while the guards of the Wu Kingdom stepped forward and grabbed the hair buns among the piles of heads, using enough profound energy to throw them vigorously into the Jin Palace.
Flying people's heads all over the sky.
This scene is scary enough.
"..." The general guarding the palace was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
If the people of Wu Kingdom want to throw ordinary filth, etc., they can still use bows and arrows to shoot them down. But what is thrown over now? The head of the princes of the Jin royal family! Who dares to shoot with an arrow
Last resort. The soldiers of the state of Jin had to proceed cautiously.
They were collected and sent to the inner palace, and someone specially assigned to report to King Jin.
"Don't tell me this! You're dead, don't come here to be disgusting!" King Jin retreated into the back hall with a sleeve of his robe brushed off.
The ministers and generals looked at each other.
The excitement that Yuan had just heard about the news of the reinforcements suddenly fell to nothing.
After an hour, the officials in the Jin Palace began to hear a burst of gongs outside, and at the same time, several people shouted loudly full of profound energy: "Liu Zhongming, the deacon of the military and military guards, his family members have been captured!"
"Ah—" An official trembled all over and fell to the ground in fright for an instant, but quickly ran out scrambling.
The sound of the gong is very familiar. It has sounded every hour in recent days. It is the sound of the gong for beheading!
The official was Liu Zhongming, who was trapped in the palace for several days. But his family members are naturally in Jindu, so it is impossible to be in the palace.
He is also really loyal. When he climbed to the top of the wall and saw his three biological sons and two grandchildren outside, he cried out in tears, "My son, I'm sorry for you!"
As soon as this sentence was shouted, the three sons outside burst into tears. The two grandsons are still ignorant.
The knife rose and fell, and five heads fell to the ground. Liu Zhongming fainted from crying.
Dugu Mo said again: "Tell them again, for those who refuse to surrender and behead their children and grandchildren, their wives and daughters will all be laborers."
Since ancient times, there have been women who have been attacked by the city and have been labored, needless to say what happened. How could the big-headed soldiers who were rolling on the tip of their knives and suffocating with blue light let go of the free woman who came to their door? It doesn't take one or two days and nights to toss, and the woman who was ordered to work in the army will die.
In the Jin Palace, Liu Zhongming, whose five descendants had been beheaded, was carried down.
But an hour later, the same situation happened again.
This kind of beheading did not stop even in the middle of the night.
Before, because it was just beheading the heirs of King Jin, the ministers and generals could feel at ease. But now it is still uncertain when he will call himself.
At Haishi, when an official heard the sound of a gong outside the palace and his name was announced aloud, his eyes widened and he passed away. The medical officer rushed to treat him, but he was unable to recover. As a result, the whole family disappeared.
This situation is still happening.
Dugu Mo smiled lightly, watching scenes of sorrow and joy. Leopard can't help but feel terrible when he is by his side.
After midnight, Dugu Moan slept soundly, without even having any nightmares. The next day, he smiled and went to watch the excitement again.
On the morning of the second day, an official fell from the palace wall in a hurry when his name was announced.
The official rolled and crawled with a limp, shouting: "I surrender! Spare my family!"
However, he was quickly shot to death outside the wall by the Jin Palace's own people.
"Let his family go." Dugu Mo said casually.
The sons cried and went over to snatch back their father's body, weeping for a while.
The palace of King Jin was completely silent.
"After crying enough, take them down." Dugu Mo ordered: "After leaving the scope of the palace, kill them and bury them without leaving any traces."
When he ordered his subordinates to do this, it was like asking someone to clean up the garbage.
Bao Lao listened to him and felt even more chilled.
Such a person deserves to be the key contender for the right to inherit the throne of King Xuanwu.
Old Leopard was afraid of Dugu Mo's ruthlessness, but he also admired such a young son with such a good strategy to attack people's hearts.
Under Dugu Mo's vicious plan, although the Jin Palace was not attacked, it was still in a state of panic.
************
On the way to the border between Jin and Qi, Wu Zhe cooked a lot of delicious food for Lu Yourong and the others, and paid special attention to preparing a meal for Granny Jinyin.
After finishing her meal, Granny Jinyin couldn't help praising her: "How can this Xiao Ruoyao be so capable? Not only is the cultivation of Xuanqi so difficult for me to understand, but even the cooking is so delicious."
Lu Yourong also nodded.
"Master, she deliberately showed us goodwill, you may consider spending more time with her."
"..." Lu Yourong hesitated after hearing this. She doesn't want to associate with people with utilitarianism.
On Wu Zhe's side, he drew a lot of blueprints along the way.
"This is..." General Yang was surprised holding the blueprint.
"Things that filter water." Wu Zhe pointed to each part of a large barrel and explained one by one: "I've written it down for you. For example, here is sand. Fine sand can filter out a lot of filth in the water. This is the charcoal layer, Cotton layer can also be replaced by homemade cloth, the effect is a bit worse... "
Wu Zhe suggested a device for filtering water, and he also deliberately woke up to boil the water for less than half a cup of tea before drinking it.
General Yang was puzzled at first, but after Wu Zhe explained some more understandable principles, he finally understood: "It turns out that the wild water must be drunk in this way. In the past, when marching long distances, 30% of the soldiers would fall ill due to water and soil changes. , even 10% of the soldiers hated their hometown before going to the battlefield. Miss Xiao is proficient in medicine, and such a simple water filtration device is easy to spread."
"It's not easy. We need to set up full-time orderly soldiers. Specifically, we need to pick some flexible soldiers and take some weaker ones to do it." Wu Zhe fulfilled his duties of joining the army very conscientiously. (To be continued..)
