Kang Shi: “…”
His impression of Yu Zi was still that of "an orphan girl with a miserable life, stubborn and obstinate, eager to learn but strong character". She was barely half of his student, and his daily interactions reminded him of his younger sister who was still in the boudoir... As a result, he inevitably had some filters for Yu Zi. He just didn't expect her to grow so fast, and she was completely transformed in two years.
No-
It’s not that Yu Zi has changed so quickly.
He still treated her with the same impression as before.
Kang Shi glanced away, ignoring the teasing look in General Jiang's eyes, and asked, "How much of this herb did you bring?"
Yu Zi replied: "Quite a lot."
He added: "Enough to deal with three to five hundred people."
"Three to five hundred people? How is that possible?"
With such a small amount, just to fill the enemy's teeth
There are only two ways to administer drugs.
Either drugging people's food or drugging people's water sources. The former is too difficult to operate. Not to mention getting close to their logistics and food, just getting close to them would expose you. In comparison, the latter is much easier, but it also has a fatal drawback - the water source is flowing, and you must find the right time to make the enemy take in enough problematic drinking water.
The flow of water sources can also cause drug waste.
The amount that could have killed 300 to 500 people was diluted when thrown into the water source, and with the waste of running water, it would be good to be able to kill 100 people. On the other hand, their enemies were estimated to be tens of thousands. Isn't this a drop in the bucket
"How is it not enough?"
Yu Zi, however, was full of confidence.
"How do you want to stay?"
Kang Shi wanted to listen to Yu Ziliang's advice.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zi raised her hand and pointed at Lin Feng who had an innocent look on his face: "Just in case, I brought a lot of grass seeds. There are enough grass seeds. We can grow as many herbs as we want." Lin Feng, who was pointed out, just smiled shyly.
Kang Shi immediately turned his head to look at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not hesitate: "That's fine."
Her full-time supply of food and grass does not mean that she can only produce food and grass. As long as there is enough Wen Qi and the grass seeds provided by Yu Zi are enough, it is okay for the enemy to use poison to cook porridge and rice. So how many grass seeds did Yu Zi bring? Not much, not much bigger than a food box.
A grass seed is smaller than a sesame seed.
"… Why did you bring these with you when you were with the army?"
Everyone reached a consensus to prepare to give the medicine, and then it was the preparation stage. However, Kang Shi had nothing to do during this stage, so he was forced to be idle. He became curious about the herbal medicine that Yu Zi mentioned - he didn't believe that this thing had such a strong power. As a result, he just pinched a little and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff, accidentally inhaled a little powder, and felt half of his face numb...
Kang Shi: “…”
The effect of this medicine is indeed quite strong.
He raised his hand and poked his face, but the touch was not as sharp as usual.
Apart from this, there are no other effects. I guess it’s because the dosage is not enough, but Kangshi doesn’t want to test the drug on himself.
Yu Zi said very naturally: "Why do I bring them? Of course, I think they might be useful someday. My uncle taught me that drugging is also one of the means for the two armies to fight, although it is not very righteous. But the most important thing on the battlefield is victory or defeat, not good or evil. No matter it is a fair or shady means, as long as it can achieve the goal, it is a good means. It's like Shiwu can use this herb to control disobedient slaves, and I can also use it to eliminate enemies that block my way."
Kang Shi: “…”
What did Yu Zhubu teach Yu Zi
He looked at General Jiang.
General Jiang secretly spread his hands.
Old Man Yu has always acted like this.
Just when Kang Shi was speechless, he heard Yu Zi chuckle and said jokingly: "Military Advisor Kang, do you think that your student has gone astray and is heartbroken about it? Hehe, I'm just kidding. This batch of grass seeds is not prepared for the enemy, but for our own people. Didn't Military Advisor Kang try it just now? Proper use of herbal medicine can paralyze people and make them feel no pain."
As long as there is war there will be wounded soldiers.
Wound infection is only one of the main reasons for casualties, and the other is pain. Soldiers are also mortals, not everyone is like Guan Erye, and they can't scrape bones to treat poison without changing their expressions. Too many wounded soldiers couldn't endure the severe pain and died of it.
Yu Zi explained, "Dr. Dong saw a recipe called 'Ma Fei San' from some rare copy of the Word Spirit. Unfortunately, he only knew the name but not the recipe. After repeated attempts, he still couldn't achieve the desired effect, so he guessed that it was a problem with the herbs. I learned about this from Dr. Dong's students, and then I thought of this herb, thinking it might come in handy, so I bought it from Shiwu at a high price."
This thing is also very expensive in Shiwu. If she didn't have some strange connections in Shiwu, she wouldn't be able to get so much.
"If they can be made into the 'Ma Fei San' that old doctor Dong dreams of, so that the injured can take it without feeling any pain, I wonder how many lives that should not have been lost can be saved." Yu Zi sighed.
After I finished speaking, I realized that the topic had strayed a bit off topic.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Advisor Kang."
Kang Shi: "No, I was shortsighted this time."
If this herb was in his hands, he would probably never have thought that it could be used to save lives...
Most of the time they will only think about how to kill the enemy in various ways.
Grass seeds are precious, and Kangshi doesn't want to waste too much.
The enemy thoughtfully gave me a pillow.
"This group of people is very confident..."
Looking at the information sent back by the scouts, Kang Shi sneered.
If he was an enemy, he could attack Longwu County, which was rumored to be short of troops, after a short rest, no matter whether the intelligence was true or false. If the intelligence was true, he could catch the target off guard; if the intelligence was false, he could withdraw immediately, reorganize the troops, and make plans for the future.
You can advance or retreat.
This enemy did the exact opposite.
They stopped at the gate of Nanyu County.
It looks like they are preparing to rest on the spot.
With more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, such a large target, how could the soldiers defending the city fail to find them unless they were collectively blind
“When I dozed off, a pillow came. This distant relative understands the ways of the world... If we don’t send a big gift, it would seem that we are not hospitable and have failed to fulfill our duties as hosts.” The army rested in place, which meant that the source of water was relatively fixed.
You can also be more precise in administering medicine.
General Jiang: "I will take people there?"
The job of administering the drug has to be done quietly.
There can’t be too many people, and the movements can’t be too big.
Although General Jiang has never done this before, he has enough skills and experience to be more qualified than other young people.
Kang Shi declined: "No need to bother."
They didn't even have to go near the water sources used by the enemy.
after all-
"The underground water flows are interconnected. We just need to send someone to wait and drop the medicine when they are drawing water, and it will be almost certain."
The soldiers under the lord's command may not be skilled in other tasks, but they are extremely skilled in drilling pits, digging wells and tunnels, and they are even more skilled in water flow surveys. If there is enough time, they can even dig a tunnel directly to the enemy camp.
"After that, it's just a matter of waiting for the drug to take effect..."
Goodbye to the terrible year 2022, hello to the brand new year 2023
