Great Wei scholar

No matter how much it is, it means that there will be trampling and casualties within the Tianzi Army.

This is the strength of the Tianzi Army, pushing across the western border without any effort at all.

At this point, the tribes in the western region fully understood that the advantage they had was the terrain, and they used the terrain to influence the advancing route of the Tianzi Army.

Of course, the Tianzi army can also charge forward, but if it continues to charge forward, it is extremely easy for the army to be blocked, or its wings will be continuously consumed.

It is easy to affect morale, not to mention, and it will increase casualties for no reason.

In this situation, Xu Qingxiao came up with a very simple solution, which was to use poison.

Poison these bastards.

As the order was issued, in less than an hour, all the major tribes received the news.

If the Tianzi Army wants to be tough, they must also lurk and harass the advance of the Tianzi Army at any time.

And since you want to lurk, you must prepare food, grass, water resources and so on.

There were spies in ambush everywhere, and after confirming that they were correct, the major tribes began to prepare food, grass and water sources, and they were ready for a war of attrition.

So, after another two hours.

Just as the Tianzi army was sharpening their swords and preparing to start, Qu Zhouhou's military order was issued again.

"The whole army is ready to push across the western border in five hours."

Following Qu Zhouhou's order, the Tianzi Army was a little stunned.

Just now it was agreed to go out in three hours, and now it has been delayed for another five hours?

What is this doing?

The whole army was in an uproar, talking one after another, not knowing what the above meant, but as a soldier, obedience is the first priority, so no matter how much doubts you have in your heart, you still have to obey the above arrangement honestly.

Time passed little by little.

Another five hours later.

Qu Zhouhou's order was issued again.

Delay for another five hours.

For a while, there were more discussions in the military, but these discussions were quickly suppressed.

After all, the Tianzi Army didn't have any casualties, it was nothing more than delaying the battle time. Everyone was depressed, but they had nothing to say.

And this time.

The mutation made a sound.

Westbound.

A tribe of 4000 people, at this moment, nearly [-]% of the soldiers were paralyzed on the ground, weak all over, and looked extremely weak.

The commander checked everything and knew what happened almost instantly.

"Water source!"

"They poisoned the water."

"Damn!"

The tribal leader clenched his fists, he was a little angry, and his eyes showed disbelief.

Dawei poisoned, this is not what surprised him, but the water source they obtained, the water source in the water veins of the western region, not just for them to drink.

What's more, the tribal people in the western region also need to drink water. If the Great Wei really poisoned the warriors, it would be a catastrophe for ordinary people.

He was shocked, the method of shocking Wei was so vicious that even ordinary people would not be spared.

So you still call yourself a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?Just call yourself a big country?Really despicable and vicious.

"Listen to orders!"

"Send the wounded to a secret camp to recuperate, and immediately inform the tribal people that they must not drink water, and prepare for migration."

He opened his mouth unwillingly, but he knew that this was the best choice.

4000 of them died, but it was nothing. If all the people in the tribe died, then they would be completely finished.

"Chief, is this battle over?"

"If we don't fight, I'm afraid the countries won't let us go."

Someone frowned and asked the other person.

"Don't worry, Wei has already driven us to a dead end. The water source is polluted and the western region cannot survive. Now I can only pray that the water source will not be completely polluted."

"Otherwise, we will have to migrate. We have already done what we have to do. There is no need to sacrifice the lives of the whole family. It doesn't make any sense."

He cursed, a little angry, at this point, still thinking about fighting?Leaving aside their original mission, it was to delay the progress of the Tianzi Army.

Even if you win, so what?What good are they?The aid from various countries has arrived, and all that should be taken has been taken. Dawei poisoned them and they migrated, which is already a price to pay.

Indeed, following the commander's words, all the soldiers fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, they took the wounded away, but soon some of the wounded died of poison. Time was running out, and they didn't even have time to bury them, so they had to set fire to them.

And such situations appear in various places in the Western Territory.

It's not that no one was wary of the poison in the water, but they didn't expect that Da Wei could pollute a water vein. Just ask, if you saw someone throw a poison into a big river.

Do you think this river water is poisonous?

No matter how strong the poison is, it is estimated that it will not be able to do this, but the problem is that Da Wei has done it.

In this way, the Western Territory is no longer just as simple as falling, the entire Western Territory will be completely wiped out. Da Wei's move is ruthless, ruthless, ruthless, too ruthless.

Compared with what happened to the tribes in the western region, there was a lot of discussion among the Tianzi army. Many soldiers really couldn't understand why they had to wait for so long?

To fight or not to fight?

Everyone is full of curiosity.

The 90 troops are densely packed and gathered together, but they are all in one place.

A man about [-] years old, wearing a battle armor, was sitting outside the camp, playing with a few stones, with unusual curiosity in his eyes.

He is a quartermaster and is responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. This kind of battle does not require him to be on the field. He only needs to follow the army and ensure the transportation of grain and grass.

"Master Yu Yi, what are you thinking about?"

"It's been three days, have you figured out what the court wants to do?"

"Yeah, we've been here for almost three days, have you thought of a way to defeat the enemy?"

Some soldiers came, and seeing Yu Yi, they couldn't help smiling and speaking with a hint of humor in their words.

They are not satirizing this Yu Yi, but it is a joke among friends.

Yu Yi has a weird personality, he is obviously a quartermaster, he doesn't even have a rank, and he likes to discuss military operations and the court situation when he has nothing to do.

The most important thing is that he is not a member of the Tianzi Army, but he was placed by the court during this march to fight.

If it wasn't for Yu Yishi's fact that he was a citizen of the Great Wei Dynasty, plus he had read books, knew characters, and had escorted several grain and grass transportations, otherwise, he would not have been able to temporarily join the Tianzi Army.

In Yu Yi's words, he was going to the imperial examination soon, and worried that he would not pass the exam, so he went out with the army to earn more silver taels for the next imperial examination.

For such remarks, I don't believe it or not. After all, Yu Yi is a citizen of the Great Wei, and a small military quartermaster is useless even if he is a spy. He has no authority and is just a follower for inspection.

But it was only a few days of contact. In the eyes of everyone, Yu Yi is a good person. Apart from being a bit weird, at least he is a scholar. The soldiers still admire scholars, especially Xu Qingxiao who commanded two victories in the battle.

It made this group of soldiers understand a truth.

knowledge is power.

Naturally, his attitude towards Yi is also very good, but Yu Yi is a bit unrealistic, always studying what the army wants to do, what the court wants to do, even the battle between the Fan Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom, Yu Yi does not sleep at night because he is studying The method of breaking the enemy.

This incident also made the soldiers feel a little funny.

You little quartermaster, go to study this?Isn't this full and nothing to do?

Do you have the talent of Xu Qingxiao?If there were, it wouldn't be so bad.

Outside the camp, listening to the jokes of the soldiers, Yu Yi didn't feel any humiliation, on the contrary, he calmed down even more and arranged stones.

He drew a picture on the ground. This is the map of the western border. He has been to the camp in the army and seen the whole picture of the western border. He just memorized it all at a glance.

Of course, the picture on the ground must be a crude version, and it must be difficult to draw it.

Looking at the map of the Western Territory on the ground, Yu Yi frowned, and he even muttered to himself.

"There are many mountains in the western region, the desert is dangerous, and there are depressions everywhere. The foreign races in the western region use roundabout battles to consume our army's combat power and delay our army's progress."

"If the Great Wei Tianzi Army wants to push all the way, the 90 army will need to pay at least [-] or even [-] soldiers' lives to reach Chen Guo."

"Especially the last [-] troops, if the tribes ambush, they can form a tail-cutting trend, and the front army's response will definitely attract Chen Guo's attention, and it is very likely that they will be dispersed by then."

"It is impossible for Chen Guo and the tribe to annihilate our army, but it is enough to make our army suffer a big loss."

"It's hard to break it! It's hard! It's hard!"

Yu Yi played with the stone formation, but no matter how he manipulated it, he couldn't deduce the perfect formation.

Time passed little by little.

Yu Yi felt a little hungry. If he counted it, he hadn't eaten since early in the morning. He glanced at the sky, and it was past meal time, and Yu Yi keenly found that there was no cooking smoke in the barracks.

That means, no one cooks.

"strangeness!"

Yu Yi frowned, it seemed like a trivial matter, but in his eyes, it was not a trivial matter.

When marching and fighting, warriors can indeed go hungry, but if they are not rushing or something important happens, they will basically still be able to cook.

Among the 90 troops at least, many of them are not warriors. Quartermasters like him have to eat.

Just now Qu Zhouhou said that it would take five hours to delay, and he could cook, but the army doesn't cook.

This is a little weird.

But after thinking about it, Yu Yi didn't go into it. After all, maybe it was because the war was coming, and he didn't want to delay it because of this kind of thing.

Continuing to sit down cross-legged, Yu Yi rubbed his stomach, and his eyes fell on the map again.

"The imperial court said that after three days, they must rush to the outside of Chen country."

"It's been two days now, that is to say, before the next day, the army must go beyond the country of Chen and join the first army and the second army."

"According to this state, how can it arrive tomorrow?"

"Besides, today is completely useless. Staying here is a waste of time. If you want to charge, you can go all out and save a few casualties. Otherwise, what's the point of staying like this?"

"Could it be that Qu Zhouhou secretly sent someone to sneak in?"

"This is impossible."

"What exactly does Naqu Zhou Hou want to do with this intention? Obedience and obedience? No, this is impossible."

Yu Yi was indeed a little puzzled.

He mused.

Then he took another look around the camp.

Contemplating again.

He looked around the camp again.

The whole army is on standby.

No cooking.

Arrive in Chen State within three days.

With the influx of information one after another, Yu Yi still couldn't figure it out. He was hungry, so Yu Yi picked up the water bottle, took a sip, and wanted to pad his stomach.

But the moment Yu Yi picked up the kettle, an idea popped into his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Yi was stunned.

"Water vein!"

Yu Yi froze in place, holding the kettle, without moving for a long time.

Not cooking, not because Da Wei didn't want to delay this matter, but because Da Wei had already poisoned the water.
