"The young man is listening to Yuge upstairs, and the red candle is dimmed."
"The strong man listens to the rain in the boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken wild goose is called the west wind."
"Now listening to the rain under the monk's hut, there are already stars on the temples. Sorrows and joys are always merciless, and the first step will be dripped until dawn."
In the night, someone was sitting on the ground, drinking under the big black canopy, the wine jar rolled all over the ground, and the person was drunk and sleepy.
With great interest, I read a poem in the heavy rain outside Pengwai, and I laughed after reading it.
The soldiers behind looked outside the tent, and the heavy rain in the afternoon was obviously much lighter, but now it was heavy again, and the newly changed military flag with Kun character on the flagpole was rolled up in one place.
His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince came down for two days, and after hearing that there were tens of thousands of poisoned Gu family soldiers in Dongling, he ordered people to hang up a new military flag.
The cold raindrops splashed in, and the soldiers stretched out their hands to block them, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince, you should go to rest in the tent, the rain is getting heavier and heavier!"
Kun Wu raised his head with red eyes, "Look at the rain, how do you feel?"
The soldier was taken aback by the question, "What's your mood? I naturally hope that the rain will be heavier and heavier, so that all the poison we cast under the bamboo mountain will rush into the military camp at Dongling's side, and we can win without a fight." La!"
There was joy, luck, and admiration for Kun Wushang in the soldiers' eyes.
I have never heard of the name of the Seventh Prince before, and most people in the army are not happy after knowing that he is the new chief general.
He came here in the rain that day, wearing a light yellow gown with large sleeves that was very similar to bright yellow, but his noble attire was so wet from the wind and rain that he could wring out water. He said—
"In this battle, I will not ask you to fight against the enemy, but to outsmart you. I have learned from Immortal Valley for seven years, and I have my own way."
Then, bags of sandbag-like poison powder were piled up on Zhushan, and the heavy rain followed the terrain of high west and low east, and washed all the poison into Dongling.
Within a few days, the spies reported that there were indeed a large number of poisoned people in the Gu family army.
Subduing the enemy without fighting, this unknown His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince suddenly erected a stalwart image in the hearts of the soldiers.
Kunwu smiled ironically, "Yes, this is the mood that young people should have. Listening to Yugelou and red candle tents are always joyful."
The soldier didn't understand what he meant, "Is His Highness not happy?"
Once the situation on the border is reported to the capital, it will be a real military achievement, and Emperor Kun will reward him again.
Why is his face so ugly, the good wine in front of him doesn't look like a celebration, but it's a bit like using wine to drown his sorrows.
"joy?"
He couldn't be happy, "Sorrows and joys are always merciless. I am happy in front of me. How can I know what will happen in the future? This large dose of poison has flowed into the border of Dongling. The Gu family army's barracks are ten miles away, and there will be no grass for at least ten years. In addition to the soldiers in the army, it will also bring disasters. Innocent people. In the future, the history books will be meticulously written, and I will hurt myself—they will be sinners through the ages."
The soldier was silent for a while, "...but you will be the hero of Xikun forever!"
Kunwu said sadly: "You are wrong. Nothing is static. The three kingdoms of Xikun, Beili, and Dongling have been separated for only a hundred years. The poisoned and blood-stained land is the crime against me, Kunwu, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain!"
At that time, there will be no Xikun or Dongling, only the mainland of Kyushu.
The people of the Three Kingdoms will all spurn him, and for their own selfish desires, turn a good city into a hell on earth, and turn a piece of hopeful land into barrenness.
After all, the method of poisoning a large area has never been used in previous wars, and no one has thought of it.
anyway-
When he was a teenager, he went to Immortal Valley alone to study art, and instead of studying medicine, he studied poison, wasn't it just for this day
The soldier murmured, and while helping him up, he said softly: "It would be great if we can capture a few rich cities in Dongling. How is it possible to unify the three kingdoms? The subordinates think that our three kingdoms will be separated forever. "
Beili in the north is the most powerful, but never attacks Xikun or Dongling, and Xikun can't beat Dongling, Dongling has no intention of attacking Xikun...
The three countries have formed a delicate confrontation, and Xikun has waged wars for years, but this balance cannot be broken.
Most of the people think so, not only this soldier, but Emperor Kun who does not give up trying to annex Dongling and then swallow Beili. His ambition is too big to be realized even if he dies.
Kun Wu smiled strangely, "Yes, it would be great if the Three Kingdoms could continue like this..."
He suddenly pushed the soldiers away, and staggered towards the tent, "Pass my military order to let the spies closely monitor the movements of Gu's army. When the rain stops, attack in one fell swoop!"
He's so drunk, he's still thinking about the war...
The soldier threw himself to the ground in admiration, and cupped his fists respectfully, "Yes, my subordinates will go now!"
…
In the night rain, the Gu family's army tent was brightly lit, and people came and went.
The cloud of death shrouded the barracks, and everyone's faces were miserable, with no trace of life.
Watching the soldiers fighting side by side die one by one, this kind of powerlessness and pain is suffocating.
"Reporting to the general, Xikun has indeed hung the military flag with the word Kun, and the new general is none other than the seventh prince of Xikun, Kun Wushang!"
"Reporting to the general, all the sandbags that can be mobilized have been mobilized. They can only block a large stream of water. I'm afraid they can't stop the poison in the water from seeping in!"
"Reporting to the general, the best doctors from the surrounding cities have been invited, and they are consulting with the military doctors overnight!"
Gu Huaijiang sat behind the case, his posture was as calm as usual, "Have the people sent back to the imperial capital set off yet?"
"I left on the second day after I found out that the water source was poisonous. I think I should have arrived at the imperial capital by now. I'm afraid it will be at least ten days after Yufu arrives at Zhuguan."
Speaking of Yufu, everyone carefully observed Gu Huaijiang's expression, trying to find a little hesitation in his eyes.
Gu Huaijiang scanned the crowd, lowered his curious heads one after another, turned his back, his eyes were not only hesitant, but also distressed and helpless.
If it wasn't a last resort, he really hoped that Yufu would stay in the imperial capital forever, be her princess among the stars, and live happily and worry-free all her life.
pity…
"Tell the military doctors and doctors that even if you can't completely detoxify, you should try your best to delay the onset of the poison. Tens of thousands of people have died in the army, and the remaining people must hold on and wait for ten days!"
Gu Shubai said: "A total of 100,000 soldiers drank poisonous water. Among these 100,000 soldiers, they died of poisoning because they drank too much water. After so many days, those who were slightly poisoned have survived, like General Yan Can .The remaining 50,000 people are recuperating in bed."
Yan Huashi drank a cup of tea, had diarrhea for a day, and stayed in bed for three days before he could barely get up.
It was his good luck, the water in the big tent was the cleanest in the army, and the poison was the lightest. He was also in good health, and after drinking the heat-clearing and detoxifying decoction, his body gradually recovered.
Ordinary soldiers in the army did not have such good luck.
"Fortunately, we discovered the poisonous water source early. Now the army uses clean water from Zhuguan for cooking, and no new symptoms of poisoning have been found."
Gu Huaijiang nodded slowly, "It's good that the people in Zhuguan City are fine. The most important thing now is not only to detoxify, but also to pay close attention to the movement of the Xikun army. Our soldiers are poisoned and lose their combat effectiveness. This is the best time for them to sneak attack."
Lao Jin patted his chest and responded to him, "General, don't worry, even if we fight our last breath, we won't let the Xikun people succeed in their tricks!"
In every previous battle, no one has ever said such a thing.
The Gu family army has always won battles, never lost battles, and never encountered such a difficult problem as it is now.
The problem now is that their strength is insufficient. In addition to the poisoned people and those who take care of them, the rest of them are few and scattered.
People in the army are in panic, and if the army's morale is unstable, it will be difficult to defend against the enemy. However, the annoying heavy rain is still falling.
This heavy rain really helped Xikun...
Gu Huaijiang looked at the rainy night outside the account, "This rain is about to stop. After the rain stops, a new war will come soon."
In the early morning of the next day, the convoy returning from pulling water from Zhuguan was elated, cheering as soon as they entered the barracks.
Gu Huaijiang didn't quite believe his ears when he faintly heard movement in the big tent.
Now that the army is in a bleak wind and rain, and mourners are everywhere, who will cheer at this time
Gu Jiuge lifted the curtain, the thin rain curtain couldn't block the sight, as Gu Huaijiang said, the rain is about to stop.
"Father, it's the water puller. I'll go see what they're arguing about."
The crowd was crowded together, Gu Jiuge pushed aside the soldiers, and saw a short soldier in a coir raincoat standing in the middle, his face was covered by a big bamboo hat, so he couldn't see clearly.
How could such a small soldier be sent to do the physical work of pulling water
Just as Gu Jiuge was about to ask a question, the short soldier raised his head, and a smile appeared on his pale lips on his familiar delicate face.
