Shuojin raised his head and glanced around, seeing that all of them were very determined. As the coach, what reason did he have to give up? He should lead the soldiers to cheer up, for the sake of the promise with Bei Mingchen, for him
My beloved girl, Shuo Jin cannot be discouraged.
Nowadays, timely stop loss is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, Shuojin's eyes became firmer.
"Besides, the inspection status of the wounded barracks hasn't been released yet, why are you so pessimistic?" Chitong comforted.
As he spoke, Chitong put his hand on Shuojin's shoulder, and Shuojin suddenly felt more confident.
"Your Majesty, someone from the wounded barracks is here to report."
"Please come in quickly."
"Your Majesty, the conditions of all the wounded soldiers have been checked. Because the poison was very diluted by the river water, the poisoning of those soldiers was not serious. No one should be in danger of their lives."
In this way, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, we have to find herbs that can detoxify them as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid they won't be able to recover or even return to the capital safely." After saying the good news, there is still bad news to say.
"Okay, Doctor Xu, you go and select a few soldiers to go to the mountains with you to collect herbs. Remember, after leaving the camp, go south, go up the path, and after climbing over two hills, there will be a forest.
, there are more medicinal materials there." Shuo Jin explained.
"My lord, take your orders."
"Chitong, you go find some more people and follow me. We will go to the mountains to find new water sources."
When it comes to understanding the terrain, no one can compare with Shuo Jin. In addition, exploration of the wild environment is Huanqing Pavilion's strength, so Shuo Jin naturally wanted to go there in person this time.
"General, take your orders." After saying that, Chitong went to make arrangements.
"Oh, I just wronged everyone. Before we find a new water source, everyone must not drink water casually." Shuo Jin ordered seriously.
Tianzhao Kingdom
Tonight, it was originally a day for Hualing Kingdom to prepare to celebrate its victory, but in the end it became a day for Tianzhao Kingdom to celebrate its victory. As anxious as Shuojin and the others were, Tianzhao Kingdom was just as lively.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." General Tianzhao offered wine and said.
"Hahaha, the National Master's plan is better. Come on, let me toast the National Master."
"So what about the War God General of the Hualing Kingdom? He's just a little calf with no hair on his head." The Imperial Master of the Tianzhao Kingdom said proudly.
After saying this, the Imperial Master had a strange smile on his lips, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "You are really just trying to do this in front of me."
"Yes, there are only tens of thousands of people, but they still want to fight with us. It's really overestimating their capabilities."
"Water is the source of life. I want to see how they can fight with us without water!" As he said this, the Emperor of Tianzhao raised his glass and gave everyone a toast.
It's a pity that they have forgotten that since ancient times, arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
Shuojin led a group of people over mountains and ridges, and they did not miss any water source. When they found the stream, they kept walking upstream along the direction of the stream until they reached the source and made sure there was no problem.
, only then dared to take some water from the stream.
"The three of you bring some water back first and let those who are seriously injured drink it quickly. The rest of you, follow me and continue looking."
Although they have found some water sources, this is not a long-term solution. This water source is still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from their military camp and the battlefield. If they want to get water from here every day, I am afraid that all their efforts will be used on these things.
. However, the most important thing is to settle the wounded first.
Then, they found some suitable water sources, but those water sources were all in some deep mountains and old forests. Running around every day was not an option.
"Hey, keep looking, you will definitely find something suitable." General Nie sighed.
"No need, Chi Tong and his party will stay, the others can go back and rest first." Shuo Jin said confidently, the smile on his face was much more relaxed than at noon.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"We'll just try to divert the water as close as possible to our military camp." Shuo Jin said easily.
"How easy is this?" General Nie was shocked and rejected the idea without hesitation.
"Don't worry, all ten of you should go back first and try to bring as much water as possible."
Helpless, General Nie had no choice but to take his people back.
After the others left, Shuojin muttered in a low voice: I did these things when I was a child, not to mention I am not a child now.
Thinking of this, I would also like to thank Master for punishing me to fetch water.
"Pavilion Master." Chi Tong called softly after everyone else left.
"Brothers, let's get started and show off your skills."
The mechanism skills of Huanqing Pavilion are not just invented. The location of the stream here is very good. They only need to make some simple mechanisms and build some bridges to guide the water to a place where it is convenient for them to draw it.
.
Shuo Jin and his party built these bridges overnight. However, they worked so hard one night, and naturally they had no energy to fight the next day. So Shuo Jin simply complied with the wishes of Tianzhao Kingdom and gave them a plan.
. Pretending that his troops were seriously poisoned and unable to fight.
Firstly, Shuojin and the others could take this opportunity to recuperate, and secondly, they could make Tianzhao Kingdom think that their evil plan had succeeded, lower their guard, and then catch them by surprise.
Sure enough, Tianzhao Kingdom was extremely happy. They captured a city almost effortlessly, and the place they lost two days ago was back in their hands.
And Bei Mingyu, who was in the palace, also received news of the defeat!
In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Shuojin sealed the news tightly. Bei Mingyu didn't know that this was Shuojin's plan. He only thought that Shuojin treated the soldiers harshly, refused to let them drink water, and lost the battle.
"It's really unreasonable. What does Prince Xiao think? If the soldiers don't drink water, how can they have the strength to fight? In this way, I really should weaken his rights." After reading, Bei Mingyu threw the memorial on the ground angrily.
on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince Xiao must have his own intentions."
"What's his intention?" Bei Mingyu knocked on the table angrily. It was just that he wanted to support himself and rebel, Bei Mingyu thought silently.
"King Xiao has often fought on the battlefield in recent years. He has been undefeated in all these years. Your Majesty should trust him."
"Yes, besides, changing commanders before the battle is a taboo for military strategists."
Listening to the civil servants and military generals all defending Bei Mingchen, Bei Mingyu felt very angry. Isn't this emperor inferior to Bei Mingchen, a god of war?
Bei Mingchen, if you lose this battle, don't come back alive. Bei Mingyu cursed secretly.
On the second day, Tianzhao Kingdom wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but unexpectedly, Shuojin had already made preparations and laid a dragnet. Without much effort, Shuojin wiped out another 30,000 enemy soldiers.
"Soldiers never tire of deceit. Has the general forgotten this truth after so many years of fighting on the battlefield?"
Before leaving, Shuojin didn't forget to give them a shout. Shuojin made a face at the people of Tianzhao Kingdom. He looked like a little kid who had just entered the world. He was not afraid of anything, which made them hate him.
His teeth were itching. Tianzhao wanted to beat Shuo Jin, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Never push someone into a hurry, otherwise they will do anything.
"In this case, there is only one way. The fish will die and the net will break. Capture the thief first and capture the king first." After hearing the situation of today's battle, the Imperial Master immediately made arrangements.
After that, Tianzhao Kingdom's National Preceptor explained his plan and the reasons in detail. Now His Majesty of Hualing Kingdom was already suspicious of King Xiao. The last time he "treated" the soldiers harshly and lost the city, their Majesty was furious. If now,
If they capture King Xiao, their army will be completely disintegrated without a commander in chief.
Moreover, the emperor of Hualing Kingdom would not be so quick to send someone to take over. Moreover, there is indeed no one more suitable than Prince Xiao in Hualing Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. If you follow my method, you will definitely be able to capture Prince Xiao." The Imperial Master said confidently.
The Imperial Preceptor is pretty good at using witchcraft and evil tactics. From astronomy and geography, to crops and people's livelihood, to marching and fighting, the Imperial Preceptor can do it all. More importantly, the Imperial Preceptor's
His poisoning skills are also top-notch, and he has killed people invisible many times.
"Okay, then take this token and go to the military camp! The general will cooperate with you." After saying that, His Majesty Tianzhao took out the token and promised to be a national advisor.
Over in Hualing Kingdom, Shuo Jin's army was celebrating today's victory. After finding the water source, the soldiers no longer had to worry about the problem of water. Moreover, there were a lot of spoils today, so the soldiers were well fed.
Wine and meat.
"It is estimated that we will be able to triumph soon. Now, there are not as many soldiers left in Tianzhao Kingdom who can fight as we are." General Liu took a sip of wine and said proudly.
"Don't be anxious or make people anxious, but anything can be done."
Shuo Jin took a sip, said something leisurely, and looked towards the direction of Tianzhao Kingdom. No one knew that the cups of others were filled with wine, but his cup was filled with tea. Even if everyone was drunk,
, Shuojin also needs to wake up alone.
"What does the prince mean?" General Nie guessed.
"Tomorrow, they will definitely fight to the death. They will definitely use the most extreme means!" Shuo Jin said confidently.
"Extreme measures?"
"I think they are very likely to capture me alive."
Shuo Jin continued, Tianzhao Kingdom is by no means a kind person, and they can do anything if they are pushed into a hurry. After these few days of fighting, he also found that the imperial master's methods are really extraordinary, and the moves he uses are somewhat familiar.
Feelings, but always unpredictable.
"Then the prince won't have to charge into battle tomorrow. It's no problem to leave it to us." Chitong said hurriedly, following the pavilion master this time in order to protect the pavilion master's safety.
"No, I want to go." Shuojin rejected Chitong.
"General, I believe in your skills. Your Majesty will not be captured by them. Nothing will happen to you." General Nie said these words to reassure everyone.
"No, I will be captured alive by them." Shuo Jin retorted to General Nie.
Small Theater: Give me a head to play with.
Shuo Jin: I’m going to be caught, I’m just playing^▽^.
Everyone: Crazy, the general is crazy, the pavilion master is crazy!
Shuo Jin: I just like the way Tianzhao Kingdom can’t stand me and can’t do anything about me.
Everyone:......
