"Heavenly punishment?" Gan Ning looked at Jia Xu with confusion on his face. This Jia Xu was talking about it, but he didn't know what he was doing. However, these days of contact with Gan Ning has gradually touched some of Jia Xu's character.
, I am afraid that Jia Xu has made some arrangements a long time ago, and these arrangements can be an opportunity to defeat Yuan Shu! If not, I am afraid that Jia Xu would have run away long ago!
Jia Xu, on the other hand, smiled and did not answer. After taking a look at Yuan Jun's barracks outside the city, he bowed his hand to Gan Ning and then slowly walked away. Gan Ning looked at Jia Xu's back in a daze. In the end,
, still had to shake his head, and then said to himself with a wry smile: "These literati are really hard to figure out!" Immediately, Gan Ning stopped caring about what Jia Xu was planning.
, but concentrated on organizing manpower to resettle the refugees who fled into the city.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. Yuan Shu's generals Ji Ling and Chen Ji, with thousands of soldiers and horses, raided Nanyang County and robbed all the grain harvested from the fertile fields outside Nanyang City.
Clean! And this time their harvest was naturally rich, bringing back enough food for the army for four months!
After receiving this news, Yuan Shu was so happy that he almost jumped up. Obviously, Nanyang was a good harvest year this year, which gave him an advantage! Immediately, Yuan Shu did not care whether Nanyang City had been captured, but directly summoned all the soldiers to celebrate.
Of course, Yan Xiang, who had been imprisoned, strongly opposed this, but his objections did not even reach Yuan Shu's ears.
In the evening, a feast was quickly prepared. Except for some soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp, the other soldiers gathered around the bonfires in their respective camps. It was no secret that the army was short of food during this period.
Yuan Shu's senior staff naturally did not run out of food, but they, the grassroots soldiers, were miserable and could only eat one gruel every day. They had been looking forward to today's full meal for a long time, so naturally they wanted to eat and drink with open arms!
In the big tent, Yuan Shu and the officials and generals under Yuan Shu's tent were all drinking happily. Yuan Shu had not been so happy for a long time. It seems that since the beginning of the Chenliu Alliance, Yuan Shu has been suppressed by others, and he feels aggrieved.
Ah! First he was made a grain and grass officer by Yuan Shao, and then he originally wanted to plot against Luo Yang, but in the end, he fulfilled Luo Yang's reputation! After the alliance was disbanded, Yuan Shu's lair was robbed by Luo Yang again, leaving Yuan Shao with no choice but to
They were trapped in a dilapidated Luoyang City. But this time Yuan Shu came to attack Nanyang with confidence, but he was rejected outside Nanyang City!
But this time, Yuan Shu was very happy. Even if Nanyang City was not captured in the end, at least Yuan Shu's food shortage problem was temporarily solved. With military rations, Yuan Shu could not go anywhere!
Thinking of what he was happy about, Yuan Shu raised his wine glass and stood up. He toasted to everyone present and said: "Master! Today our army has obtained so much rations. The army is like a tiger with more wings. Where else in the world can there be more food?"
The opponent of our army? Today I wish you all the best to break through Nanyang City as soon as possible! Enter Xiangyang! Cut Na Luoyang into thousands of pieces!"
"Oh!" If everyone in normal times would have known their own abilities, that day in front of Hulao Pass, everyone saw with their own eyes how powerful Luo Yang and his generals were, and they couldn't even compare to them even if they were flattering. But now they
They all drank a few sips of the yellow soup, right! As soon as the wine hit their heads, their mouths were no longer able to hold the door, and immediately everyone shouted excitedly: "Conquer Xiangyang! Kill Luo Yang! Kill Huang Zhong!"
Ouch!”
"Hahahaha!" Hearing the response from the generals, Yuan Shu was so happy that he drank the wine in one gulp and then looked up to the sky and laughed. Yang Hong and others were also very discerning, holding wine glasses.
He came up to toast, and while toasting, he flattered Yuan Shu, making Yuan Shu feel comfortable!
"Report——!" Just as the king and his ministers were enjoying themselves in the big tent, suddenly a shout came from outside, and a sergeant ran in from the outside with a look of embarrassment, but was guarded at the door of the big tent.
Several personal soldiers stopped them, and they could not rush in. They could only shout from outside the tent to the big tent: "Lord! Something bad is going wrong! Something bad is going to happen!"
Yuan Shu was enjoying a drink with Yang Hong here. Being shouted out like this by the sergeant was disappointing! Yuan Shu's face immediately darkened, and Yang Hong who was opposite Yuan Shu saw him, and his head couldn't help but
He shrank back, knowing that this was a sign that Yuan Shu was going to get angry, so he hurriedly shrank back. He didn't want to be offended by Yuan Shu because of this little sergeant.
But the sergeant didn't notice the changes inside, and kept shouting: "It's not good! Lord! It's really not good! Something big is going to happen!"
"Bastard!" Yuan Shu's anger finally broke out, and he threw the wine glass towards the sergeant with a wave of his hand! Yuan Shu's throw was really strong, and he actually threw it directly from the big tent to the big tent.
Outside, it happened to hit the sergeant on the head! It was a wine glass made of bronze, and it was not light. With such a hit, the sergeant was immediately hit with a bloody head!
Yuan Shu's outburst immediately caused the entire tent to fall into silence. Everyone looked at each other in shock and did not dare to make a sound. However, this silence allowed everyone to hear the faint sounds of misery coming from outside the tent.
Screams! It was very noisy in the big tent before, and the screams were not loud, so they couldn't be heard at all. Now it has quieted down, and the screams came one after another. The shrillness in the voices was...
Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale!
"What's going on!" Yuan Shu's drunkenness dissipated immediately, and he stared outside the tent with wide eyes. He suddenly realized that something bad must have happened outside the tent, and a very uneasy feeling suddenly surged into his heart!
Immediately, Yuan Shu pointed at the sergeant outside the tent who had just been knocked to the ground by him and shouted: "Quick! Bring him in! Quick!"
The sergeants outside the tent did not dare to disobey Yuan Shu's order. Two sergeants took one side and directly brought the bleeding sergeant in. At the same time, several other sergeants ran out consciously.
, ready to personally find out what happened. After the sergeant was brought in, Yuan Shu didn't care about the injury on his head, and directly shouted: "Tell me! What happened? What's the scream outside?
What's going on? Tell me quickly! Or I'll kill you!" After saying that, Yuan Shu immediately pulled out his sword from the weapon rack next to him and pointed it at the sergeant as if to chop him!
Although the sergeant was hit with a bloody head and was in terrible pain, his life was at stake. He could only gently wipe the blood on his eyes and said with a sad face: "Go back, lord! Something bad is going to happen."
It’s over! Most of the brothers in the camp are suffering from unbearable abdominal pain! Many brothers’ faces have started to turn black! They are obviously poisoned!”
"Poisoned?" Not only Yuan Shu, but also all the civil servants and generals present turned blue. How could they be poisoned? And from the screams that kept coming from outside the tent, there were definitely not a few people who were poisoned! And right here At this time, the sergeant who had gone to inquire about the news came back quickly, ran into the tent, knelt down directly to Yuan Shu, cupped his fists and shouted: "Lord! Something bad has happened! Most of the soldiers in the army have been hit." Poison! Now the camp is in chaos!"
"Oops!" Yuan Shu was so shocked by the news that he fell back and sat on the low stool behind him. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and immediately shouted to everyone on the left and right: "You guys are still here?" Why are you standing here? Why don't you get out quickly! Stabilize the morale of the army! Stabilize the morale of the army!" Although Yuan Shu still didn't understand why the army was poisoned, but the sergeant's words made it very clear. Now the military camp is in a state of chaos. Chaos! If this continues, I'm afraid the camp will be blown up!
When Yuan Shu shouted violently, the generals were the first to react and hurriedly ran out towards the areas they were in charge of. With the suppression of these generals, some signs of chaos just emerged in the military camp. It was finally suppressed for the time being. However, the problem within the army was far more serious than Yuan Shu expected. The poisoned soldiers alone accounted for nearly 60% of the army! And half of the poisoned sergeants were already gone. Breath! The weirdest thing is that these soldiers who died from poisoning had black faces and looked very scary!
After hearing the report from below, Yuan Shu's face turned livid, and he walked back and forth in the tent with a frown. Such a major poisoning incident was definitely not an accident! It was obvious that this was from Nanyang on the opposite side. The handiwork of the defenders in the city! But what method did the opponent use to cause Yuan Shu's army to be poisoned on such a large scale? Yuan Shu still couldn't figure it out!
Yang Hong and other advisers who were guarding Yuan Shu did not dare to say a word at this moment. They stood aside in fear and fear. Just now, Yang Hong and others also went to see the soldiers who were poisoned to death. Corpse, what a horror! Fortunately, I wasn’t poisoned, otherwise, I would have ended up like this!
"Report!" At this time, a shout came from outside the big tent. A sergeant came to the door of the big tent and bowed to Yuan Shu. He shouted: "Lord! Mr. Yan Xiang has something urgent to tell you. Lord!"
"Urgent matters? What urgent matters can he have!" Yuan Shu was worried now. He didn't want to listen to Yan Xiang's nonsense, so he just waved his hand and shouted: "I already said it! I don't want to see him! Get down quickly!"
The sergeant seemed to be hesitant, but finally said bravely: "My lord! Mr. Yan Xiang said that if the lord does not want to see him, he can tell me a message, that is, please leave the camp and withdraw the troops immediately!"
