After 10 years of sharpening my sword, I can finally wave

"Yes," Bai Er replied.

"Besides," Bai Li handed the letter that was just written in his hand and the ink was still wet to Bai Er, and continued: "Give my handwritten letter to Tian Yi, and let her handle the writing on it. After three days Inside, I want to make the vicinity of Wu County, except for Wu County, there is no food to eat!"

"Yes!" Bai Er quickly responded.

Watching Bai Er leave, Bai Li casually picked up the table. Not long ago, he received a secret letter from Lu Jiuzhong from Beijing.After pondering for a moment, he directly destroyed it, and then said lightly: "Since the chaos in the southeast started because of water, it will end because of water. If that's the case... it can be regarded as a happy ending."

Chapter 163 Contaminated Food

Jiyang.

Nanmu Zhengcheng is admiring a masterpiece of a famous calligrapher in the heyday of Tang Dynasty, which was obtained from a wealthy family in Jiyang City.

And it was at this time that a burst of hurried footsteps came, which made him, who was intoxicated in the world of calligraphy, frown.

Just when Nanmu Zhengcheng, who was a little unhappy in his heart, was about to ask what happened, the first guard outside the door rushed in and reported to him a news that made him change color.

That is, there may be a problem with the food in Curry, and half of the Huotou army has fallen, and their lives are at stake!

The Huotou army is the cook who cooks for the army.I don't know about it in the official history, but in the current world, he is usually also in charge of tasting dishes.

To put it simply, they eat the cooked food first, and if something goes wrong, they will lie down first.

There is no way, in this world, those who know a little martial arts can basically go high and low.As for poison masters, although it would not be said that there are as many as stars, there are definitely quite a few.

Like Chuanshu Tangbao, the poison produced by refining even the masters of the heavenly level can be tricked by accident.

Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, the food for the army must go through two inspections before it is served. One is to eat the food made by the Huotou army first.The second is that the military doctors accompanying the army conduct random inspections, using tools such as silver needles to see if there are any harmful ingredients in the food.

As long as it passes these two tests, basically there will be no major problems.

After all, the higher the level of poison, the higher the cost of materials and production.And if you want to be able to lay down an army, you have to use a large amount. To put it bluntly, it needs to be cheap and the materials are common.

The contradiction between the two is irreconcilable, so usually even the poisoner's purpose is to pollute the food, not to poison an army.

Facing the predicament that the army might run out of food, Nanmu Zhengcheng couldn't be in the mood to appreciate any paintings.He didn't even bother to take responsibility for the guard who was waiting outside and guarding the warehouse with a sad face.

Nanmu Zhengcheng led his people to the other two spare treasuries in a hurry.See if there is anything wrong with the batch of food that he specially ordered someone to hide secretly just in case.

And the result... Seeing those livestock that were caught by the soldiers casually, it was already clear enough that they had died after eating the food, which also made Nanmu Zhengcheng's face extremely ugly.

"Bastard! How did the enemy find this place!"

Since it is hidden in secret, there must not be many people who know about it.

Not to mention his subordinates, but the alliance with the Eastern Islands, and strictly speaking, Fu Yuzhang, who is on an equal footing with Nanmu Zhengcheng, etc. Nanmu Zhengcheng only told them that he had hidden a batch of food just in case.And the specific location, only his most trusted people know.

And now a place with such a high degree of secrecy has been murdered.For a while, Nanmu Zhengcheng had the heart to directly arrest all his cronies and interrogate them one by one.

Fortunately, Nanmu Zhengcheng, as a famous general of the East Island Kingdom, knew the priorities of the matter. After confirming that all the food had been ordered, he first ordered to his subordinates: "Go and invite Shi Yuan-kun here! See if you can solve the problem." The poison in the food."

"Yes!" Hearing the words, the subordinates did not dare to neglect, and galloped to invite him.

And Nanmu Zhengcheng turned his head to look at the tired and purple-covered domestic animals.For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that the debt of the twelfth lunar month was being paid back quickly.

Not long ago, he ordered them to let Taro Ishihara, the master of poison in East Island, plant the plague poison for the people who drove them to Wu County. As a result, it has only been a few days, and their food has also suffered. calamity.

Now he can only pray that it will not be difficult to cure the poison in the food, otherwise...he can only give up his original plan for the time being and go straight to Wu County!

Taro Ishihara came very quickly, and with him were the general Fu Yuzhang of Baekje, and Li Renqi, the current coach of Silla.

"General Nanmu, I heard that the food in the city has been poisoned. Is this true?" As a senior general in the army, Fu Yuzhang certainly understood the danger of running out of food, because the first time he met Nanmu Zhengcheng asked.

After all, others don't know, but he, the three major generals of the coalition army, still knows that Nanmu Zhengcheng once sent someone to secretly hide a batch of food.Now that there is a problem with the main grain depot, Fu Yuzhang can only hope that the batch of grain that Nanmu Zhengcheng grows in secret will be safe and sound.

But it looks like...

When Fu Yuzhang came forward, he finally saw the dead and purple-covered livestock in the grain depot. For a while, he didn't understand that this batch of grain might have the same problem.

"Well, the toxicity is very strong. Now we can only see if we can brainstorm and find a way to detoxify. Otherwise..." Nanmu Zhengcheng said to Ishihara Taro with an ugly face: "Ishihara-kun, I can only ask you gone."

"The general is serious, let me try."

The path of poison is as vast as a cloud of smoke. Although Taro Ishihara is better than blue, he is a master of poison art in the East Island country.But it is precisely because he knows more that he is more in awe.Naturally, I dare not guarantee it.

After some inspections, Ishihara Taro found that he was not optimistic.

Most of the grains were indeed poisoned in large quantities, but according to the sampling inspection, there were four kinds of poisons in this batch of grains, and some areas were still mixed with a bit of highly toxic high-level poisons.

How can he mix this antidote?

Therefore, he could only shake his head at Nanmu Zhengcheng with an ugly face, which made Nanmu Zhengcheng's face even more cloudy.

"General Nanmu, it's a taboo for soldiers to cut off food!" After a long time, Fu Yuzhang took the lead and said, "If you still insist on your own opinion, then I can only lead people to take it down so that the soldiers under my command won't be hungry." Wu County is gone."

On the other side, Li Renqi, the leader of the Silla Kingdom, obviously had the same opinion, so he directly nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement.

Seeing this, Nanmu Zhengcheng stared at the two of them for a while, and finally put a smile on his face again: "Of course, as I said, it is better to change the plan. Since the military situation has changed, the previous plan will naturally not count.

How about this, the dry food that everyone in the army carries with them can last for three days if they save some food.Then we will let the soldiers have a full meal first, and then set off immediately, what do you think? "

After Fu Yuzhang and Li Renqi looked at each other, they continued, "Just follow General Nanmu."

"Very good," Nanmu Zhengcheng continued, "I still have some things to deal with here, so I won't send you two away."

The army was about to rise and there were many things waiting for the two generals to deal with, and knowing that the other party probably wanted to investigate why there was a problem with such a heavily guarded grain depot, so Fu Yuzhang and the other two did not stay longer.After saying goodbye, they left one after another, only Yu Nanmu Zhengcheng and his party remained at the grain depot.

"Mr. Inoue, let me interrogate the relevant people one by one. I want to know how outsiders know such a secret place so clearly!" Nanmu Zhengcheng ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

Hearing the footsteps of his guards leaving, Nanmu Zhengcheng glanced in the direction of Wu Jun, and after a long time, he murmured: "Cutting off my army rations, this is to force us to attack Wu Jun! If that's the case... Plan ahead."

Not to mention Nanmu Zhengcheng here, the preparation in my heart.

On the other side, outside Qingyang City, one of the two main battlefields where Zuo Longwuwei and Huang Tianjiao fought, General Wen Yang of Zuolongwuwei looked at the soldiers of Huang Tianjiao who were waiting in full force in Qingyang City, and praised insincerely: "Fang Zhangsheng from the No.11 party is indeed one of the few in the Huangtian sect who is good at military affairs. He was able to train a group of mobs to look good in such a short period of time. It's not easy."

"Does the general think highly of him?" The deputy general on the side continued, "No matter how hard you train, the mob will always be the mob. If it weren't for the Zhechong mansion in the south to be negligent in fighting, we would have wiped out the chaos in the southeast a long time ago." It's calmed down."

Just like what the lieutenant general said, although the [-]% off central defenders are at the same level, there is still a considerable gap in terms of combat effectiveness.

For example, the Zhechong Mansion in Bingzhou, which is close to the border in the north, needs to often resist the invasion of the Huns, so its combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the Zhechong Guards in other prefectures.Of course, the battle damage rate is also very high.

For other Zhechong prefectures, more than half of the war damage is basically a major event that is rarely encountered once in ten or a hundred years, but for the dozen or so prefectures in Bingzhou, it is the norm.

It's not unheard of for the Xiongnu to meet with each other in Youzhou and divert to their side.

Therefore, if the left and right Longwuwei were in the southeast to quell the chaos, if Zhenjiu had originally belonged to Bingzhou Zhechong, which was under their jurisdiction, the southeast chaos might have really been quelled long ago.
