Summon players, rebuild Dawei

The camp of the Huns, the tent of the Chinese army.

Lan Gujian stared at the frail young man in front of him motionlessly, giving him invisible pressure.

Not long ago, this person came to the tent, claiming that the people of Wei treated them unjustly and wanted to take his family to join the Xiongnu, but after hearing the conditions he wanted him to fulfill, he suddenly lost his voice, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled. , as if the surroundings are filled with air full of thorns.

From the bottom of his heart, Lan Gujian looked down on such cowards who surrendered to the enemy and treason for their own self-interest, but it did not prevent him from using such people to increase his chances of winning, so he deliberately urged in a peaceful and friendly tone: "If you can do what I say Do it, I promise, it will keep your family safe and well-fed."

Hearing this, the young man's terrified face showed a sense of sadness and bitterness, but he quickly adjusted his mood, bowed his head as if accepting his fate, and said in thanks: "Thank you, the family, I will do my best when I make up my mind. "

Lan Gujian showed a smile at the right time, raised his hand and said: "Come here, send Mr. Kong Xiao out of the camp."

As soon as the young man walked out of the camp, the smile on Lan Gujian's face disappeared suddenly, leaving only a slight sarcasm in his eyes.

The subordinate at the side asked: "The big household, can you tell Zuo Xianwang about this matter?"

Lan Gujian was about to nod his head when suddenly he remembered the words that Da Shanyu called him to his bedroom the night before his departure.

——"There are meticulous work in the army, and I am afraid that there are not a few."

——"The prince is purely decisive, and he is easy to trust others. Some important things can be made by himself, and there is no need to tell him."

——"Xing Sang is indeed a hero among men, but he is a foreigner after all, and can be used to open up territories, so he should not be too favored."

——"Now in this army, I only trust you."

Lan Gujian squinted his majestic eyes, looked at his subordinates and said, "No need."

In the hot summer season, every time the sun rises, the dreary heat will sweep across the city. The scorching sun makes the guards on the city wall sweat profusely, their limbs become limp, and they cannot lift their strength.

It would be fine in normal times, but now that the Xiongnu army is stalking and surrounding them, how can they tolerate them guarding the city gate listlessly.

Lu Xian climbed up the city wall and saw that the defenders were all in a state of powerlessness. He couldn't help but frowned, and said in a strict voice: "Cheer up for me, keep your eyes open and guard the city gate carefully. All of them are so weak that they can't even hold a gun, do they want to be dealt with by military law?"

All of a sudden, the guards managed to regain some energy, straightened their backs, stretched their eyelids, and looked out of the city with vigour.

Lu Xian patrolled past the city wall and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that no one was slacking off.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, followed by a human voice: "General Lu, he has fainted."

Lu Mian turned around, and sure enough, he saw a soldier in red lying on his back on the ground.

He frowned, and hurried over to check the situation, only to see that the other side was pale, his eyes were closed, his left hand was pressing on his belly, his right hand was covering his chest, and he was still sweating unceasingly, as if he had fallen into a great pain. in pain.

"Is this the middle one?"

"Maybe, ahem, my subordinates also feel that it seems to be extremely hot today. The armor is heavy, and everyone is a little too hot to breathe while standing guard." The soldier who just spoke up said.

Hearing the sound of coughing, Lu Xian raised his head and glanced at him, and was startled when he saw it. This person also had a pale and bloodless face, and he unconsciously pressed his chest while speaking, as if he couldn't breathe.

He frowned, faintly aware that something was wrong, and suddenly stood up to look at the other guards, only to realize that nine out of ten guards had similar symptoms.

If it was because of the sweltering weather, the two guards behind him were also wearing heavy armor, but they were only sweating from the heat, and their faces were still ruddy and energetic. These defenders seemed to have contracted some serious disease collectively.

If there is any epidemic at this time...

Lu Xian's heart trembled, and he quickly ordered the guards behind him to send the fallen soldiers to be treated, and sent someone to the barracks to inform Sima to change the city gate guards.

After arranging all the affairs of the city gate, he immediately went to the governor's mansion to report the news to Xun Zhou.

However, things are far more serious than he imagined.

Lu Xian had just reported the matter of the city gate, and before Xun Zhou could open his mouth to ask carefully, the person he sent to the barracks hurried over and said, "Master, the big thing is not good, and there are also a large number of soldiers in the barracks who have this disease. , the mild ones are dizzy and weak, the severe ones have abdominal pain and vomiting, and dozens of people have fainted!"

Lu Xian suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xun Zhou nervously: "Could it be an epidemic!"

Xun Zhou pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've never seen such a rapid epidemic, I'm afraid someone poisoned it!"

Lu Xian turned his mind around and realized: "Could it be that this is what the Huns did?"

Xun Zhou remained silent, with deep wrinkles between his brows.

Lu Xian took his silence as approval, feeling extremely anxious.

Thinking about it, the Xiongnu had besieged Nanzhe for more than a month, and they had repeatedly attacked to no avail. They were forced to resort to tricks such as bribery and poisoning. I only hate that they were not careful and did not take precautions, so they ordered the soldiers in the army He fell into such a sinister trick.

"These dogs are really despicable and shameless!"

"If it was the Xiongnu's doing, they would never let go of this great opportunity." Xun Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xian sternly: "Give me an order to gather the doctors in the city to treat the sick soldiers with all their strength. It is a conspiracy by the Huns, we must thoroughly investigate the entire city to find out whoever poisoned us, and we must not allow them to act recklessly in the city."

As soon as his words fell, an emergency notification came from the door: "Report to the envoy, the army is attacking the city!"

Xun Zhou turned his head quietly, and met Lu Mian's astonished gaze.

After a while, he got up suddenly and called for someone to fetch the general's armor.

Putting on the helmet with tall tassels under the service of the servants, Xun Zhou picked up the horse spear in the weapon rack, strode towards the door with his head held high, and said in a serious and loud voice: "Call the soldiers who are not poisoned, and come with me The city against the enemy!"

When he stepped out of the door, the strong sunlight covered the old general's gray beard with frost, and also covered the horse lance that had been with the general for half his life in a frosty light.

Lu Xian caught a glimpse of the white beard exuding illusory brilliance, and suddenly felt an indescribable sadness hit his heart.

He quietly tightened his fists, clasped his fists against the general's back, and said "No".

Subsequently, more than 1000 soldiers who were lucky enough to have not encountered the poison were urgently called to the city wall to resist the powerful attack of the Huns.

At the same time, various ministries were engaged in dispatching state government officials together with officers and soldiers to search for poisoners throughout the city.

After searching closely without letting go of any clues, the officers and soldiers caught the poisoner in a small farmyard after only an hour.

After severe torture, the other party quickly confessed that he was a servant of the Kong family, and that the owner of the family sent him to poison the upper reaches of the canal where the barracks used to fetch water.

When the news was reported to Xun Zhou, he was already sitting on the top of the city tower, personally commanding the army to resist the attack of the Huns.

Hearing that it was the Kong family who sent people to poison him, he couldn't cheer up at all, and felt that it was extremely absurd.

"It's actually the troubles of the Kong family!" Lu Xian was obviously much angrier than him, "If the envoy had not deliberately let them go before the city gate was sealed off, how could they have walked out of Nanzhe City so easily? Return favor and revenge!"

"Perhaps in their view, I am unreasonable, I'm sorry they were first."

Xun Zhou shook his head, watching the waves of black soldiers approaching the city, frowned suddenly, and said in a harsh tone: "Kill it!"

"promise."
