Yangcheng was being surrounded, and Shi Le still had to rely on Kong Ji as the main warrior, but Shi Haoran attacked Zhaoti Temple in the royal city.
If Kongji is forced to rebel, Shi Le will be doomed.
Ma Fang had just returned from releasing the flying eagle when he saw Shi Le furious.
Ma Fang did not dare to dissuade her, so she could only wait quietly.
The maids and eunuchs serving around him all trembled when they saw Shi Le's anger.
When Shi Le loses his temper, it is common for him to kill people, and more than a dozen people have been killed.
After Shi Le's anger subsided, Ma Fang said: "Your Majesty, the flying eagle has been released."
Shi Le said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether you ask or not, the prince acts so recklessly and has no regard for the overall situation!"
Ma Fang lowered her head and did not dare to say any more.
Outside the door, Privy Councilor Lu Qichang hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good. The soldiers who drank the water from the moat started to suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea. Long Chengen really poisoned the water."
Shi Le let out a long sigh and said, "Long Chengen put up a sign there, saying that the water in the moat was poisonous. How could they still..."
Lu Qichang didn't answer, and Shi Le didn't continue.
Why did the soldiers drink the water even though they knew it was poisonous? It wasn't because there was no water in the city.
At first, because of his unstable military morale, Shi Le wanted to use Yangcheng's strong fortifications to defend. Unexpectedly, Long Chen did not follow the routine and only surrounded the city without attacking it.
There was nothing wrong with Shi Le's decision at that time. If he forced a decisive battle with the Long family army outside the city, the Xixia army would inevitably be defeated and Yangcheng would not be able to defend it.
But now that I don't fight, I have become a turtle in a urn, and I am still a drought-stricken bastard.
"What do you think of the decisive battle with Long Chengen now?"
Shi Le didn't want to stay in the city, he wanted to go out and fight while the soldiers still had strength.
Lu Qichang said: "Things in the city are still talking about Zhaoti Temple, and coupled with the lack of water these days, there is a lot of resentment."
"However, Wei Chen thinks that we can take advantage of the lack of water to fight Long Chengen."
Shi Le understood what Lu Qichang meant.
The soldiers are thirsty and want to drink water. We can take advantage of this to temporarily forget about Qiuzitang and work together to fight.
If you win, everyone will have water to drink. This proposal is very tempting.
"Go and tell the soldiers that there is no water to drink now. If you want to survive, you must defeat Long Chengen and have a decisive battle tomorrow."
"Drink water if you win, wait for death if you lose!"
Shi Le gave the order, and Lu Qichang immediately went to deliver the order.
After Lu Qichang left, Shi Le felt that this matter must be discussed with Kong Ji.
The war is going to start tomorrow, and if Kong Ji doesn't know about it, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied again.
Shi Le relied on emptiness, so he cared about the idea of emptiness.
"Go to the Imperial Preceptor and find him."
Shi Le gave the order, and Ma Fang immediately went out and walked to Kongji Mansion.
I hurried to the empty mansion, where two monk soldiers were guarding the door.
Seeing Ma Fang, the monk soldier put his hands together and bowed, and Ma Fang stepped in.
In the room, Kong Ji was sitting on the futon, looking at the flame of the oil lamp in trance.
The slightly jumping flames were swaying, and Kong Jing's thoughts were very disturbed.
This war was beyond Kong Ji's expectation. He originally thought that Long Chen would not be able to fight in, and it would at best be a tug-of-war between Jade Buddha Pass and Zhenguo Temple.
Coupled with Nanliang's attack, Long Chen won't be able to fight for long.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the war started, Deshan was killed and Zhenguo Temple was captured.
Later, Shi Le stormed the Zhenguo Temple out of anger and lost a large number of elites.
What was even more unexpected was that Long Chen actually took advantage of the matter of Qiuzitang and caused Xixia to be divided, and people's hearts were instantly dispersed.
After this war, can Xixia continue to exist, and where should Zhaoti Temple go?
Monk Kongji has never been so confused as he is today.
"If I had known this, I should have killed Long Chengen."
Monk Kongji regretted not killing Long Chen at Jade Buddha Pass.
If Long Chen had been killed at that time, things would not be like this now.
"National Preceptor."
Ma Fang knocked on the door and walked in slowly.
When Kong Ji heard the knock on the door, she looked away, turned to look at Ma Fang, and asked, "Father-in-law, what's the matter?"
Ma Fang said: "The king is looking for you."
Kong Ji did not get up immediately, nor was he in a hurry, but asked lightly: "Do you know something?"
Ma Fang's mind was slightly moved. Kong Ji had heard that Shi Le was looking for him before, but he left immediately without saying a word.
This time, I actually asked what was going on first, and as expected, the silence changed.
"Just now, the Privy Councilor suggested that the King have a decisive battle with Long Chengen tomorrow. The King probably wants to hear the opinion of the Imperial Advisor."
Ma Fang heard it just now, so he said it.
This matter is not a secret to Kongji, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Monk Kongji responded lightly: "Oh..."
After a while, Kong Ji slowly got up and walked out, with Ma Fang following behind.
Walking on the street, it was dark now and the heat had subsided a little. Soldiers were shirtless enjoying the cool air, and from time to time the sound of swatting mosquitoes could be heard.
"Damn it, I had diarrhea three times after drinking that water."
"You will die if you have diarrhea again. There is no water to drink in the first place."
"Grandma, the worst possible thing is to drink some more water from the moat."
Ma Fang looked at the soldiers on the roadside and wondered how the siege would end. Will tomorrow's breakout be useful?
Kong Ji slowly walked into the prefect's mansion, and Ma Fang followed.
An old horseman saw Kong Jing entering from a distance, holding a bucket of moat water in his hand, and slowly walked back to Li's Liquor Shop.
After entering the backyard, he opened the door and entered the room, placing the bucket on the table.
"Sir, this is water brought from the moat. The soldiers had diarrhea after drinking it and had no other symptoms."
Heifeng scooped up a bowl of water and brought it to Shen Wanjin, while Gan Xin held up the oil lamp and came over.
Shen Wanjin looked at it carefully and said, "It's just diarrhea and no other symptoms?"
The old horseman nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."
Shen Wanjin smiled and said: "The poisonous powder of Yan Shuangyu."
Shen Wanjin knew exactly what methods his hall master had, and this symptom was clearly the work of Yan Shuangyu.
It just so happened that Long Chen and Yan Shuangyu got together, so it was normal for him to get poisonous powder from Yan Shuangyu.
Heifeng knew about Yan Shuangyu and he was not surprised.
Gan Xing received some news from the old horseman and was not surprised.
"This Long Cheng'en is quite poisonous. If he doesn't poison these people to death, he will only give them diarrhea."
"As long as people are alive, they will seek to survive. Soldiers will look for medicine and make trouble. The city will become more and more chaotic."
Shen Wanjin put down the big bowl with a smile and stirred the water with his hands.
Gan Xin said: "It would be easier to poison him directly, but it would be more troublesome to hang him half-dead."
Shen Wanjin said: "This is where Long Chengen is so vicious. He has a plan in everything he does. You must be extremely cautious when dealing with him."
Heifeng and Ganxin nodded slightly.
The old horseman said: "Master, just now I heard the Xixia army sending an order, saying that they will go out of the city tomorrow to find water. If you win, you will drink water, if you lose, you will die of thirst."
Gan Xin said in surprise: "Shi Le is going out of the city for a decisive battle?"
The old horseman replied: "I heard them say this, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
Heifeng and Ganxin looked at Shen Wanjin.
Shen Wanjin thought for a while and said: "Shi Le wants to use the soldiers to ask for water and let them go out of the city to fight to the death. This is a good way."
"Because of the Qiuzitang incident, the Xixia soldiers were alienated. Now we can use the matter of drinking water to unite people's hearts."
"As long as people are united, there are 500,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which is enough to defeat Long Chengen."
Heifeng felt that something was wrong and said, "Then should we inform Long Chengen?"
