Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 320

Listening to everyone's discussion, Yun Qing felt helpless.But he saw Mo Yu stood up and walked to the table, pointed his slender finger at the desert behind the enemy camp, and said:


"This king believes that the reason why the enemy's reinforcements can come smoothly is because Guyang in the north has fallen to the enemy. The opponent's food and grass can be transported in Guyang, so no matter how long the battle is, the enemy will not They will retreat from Tianque due to the shortage of food and grass. However, the drinking water of the enemy army is not as smooth as that of food and grass. Without food, they can live for several days, but without water, it will greatly affect morale.


Today, the drinking water source for the enemy is the only water flowing down the ravine outside Xiling City, and the source point is in our terrain.If the water source over there is cut off, the drinking water of the enemy army will be hit, and our army can also use this opportunity to attack the enemy in one fell swoop, weakening the enemy's military strength, at least making the enemy army unable to attack the city again. ".


Xuanyuan Moyu's words brightened the eyes of everyone present, seeing the location he pointed out, many people exclaimed that it was wonderful.

"But the reason why the moat is called a moat is that its terrain is not easily controlled by our soldiers. The prince said that he would cut off the enemy's water source, but the water is from under the Xiling Peak across Jiayuguan. It is impossible for our army Cut it off at the middle, and the plan of cutting off the water will not be implemented." Cao Zijian shook his head, pointed to the direction of the water flow on the map, and did not agree with Xuanyuan Moyu's plan at all.

His proposal also caused the other people to look slightly dark, and they also sighed a little when they discovered this problem.


"There are many kinds of so-called water cut-offs. One is to completely drain the water flow, one is to divert the direction of the water flow, and the other is to degrade the water source so that it can no longer be drunk by people. Cao Junshi, what I mean by this king, you I don't fully understand." Xuanyuan Moyu raised the corner of his lips slightly, and Yun Qing who was on the side saw Cao Zijian's complexion change slightly, and then he was a little surprised: "Could it be that the lord intends to poison the water?".


As soon as this remark came out, all the generals were shocked, and they looked at Xuanyuan Moyu in disbelief, horrified that he would propose such a method.

From ancient times to the present, although wars have always been cruel, countries have used everything to fight for war.However, this strategy of poisoning is rarely used in combat. In the final analysis, the word "benevolence" is still hanging high in everyone's hearts.


On the battlefield, all soldiers would rather go to battle and fight the enemy to death, and generally would not stab someone in the back, let alone use such a humble strategy as poisoning.

Similarly, cutting off the opponent's food, grass or water source, sneak attack and open interception are common tactics in war, but poisoning has never been used rarely.Now that Xuanyuan Moyu mentions it in public, although everyone admits that this strategy is feasible, they are hesitant because of the strategy itself.


"There are several types of poisons. There are deadly poisons, menacing poisons, and poisons that are harmless but capable of accomplishing great things. You are all good players on the battlefield, and I believe that you don't need much attention on the strategy of combat." It is said that everyone is fighting in an army of benevolence, but in these extraordinary times, we can only use extraordinary means.


Right now, the city gates will not be secured, and the country will be swallowed up by other countries. If we are not as good as the enemy in terms of war and troops, should we just wait for the enemy to attack the city and wait for death?Don't we all wait for the enemy country to engulf our country and not give it a go for the country and the people?


Since ancient times, soldiers never tire of cheating. We do not take the initiative to poison others. Everything we do is for self-protection and for the whole country.Let me ask, is this not possible? "Xuanyuan Moyu swept the crowd coldly, and the evil smile was suddenly put away, replaced by a serious expression on his face, which made Xuanyuan Yi's handsome eyes condense, and for the first time, he cast a heartfelt look at him Appreciative glances.


Following closely, Xuanyuan Moyu raised the corners of his lips again, looked at Cao Zijian with a smile, and said, "Besides, this king didn't intend to poison the water source. This king thought that some rhubarb would be enough to scare the enemy army away." Stomach discomfort for several days, when they find that there is a problem with the water source and carry the water long distance, their combat power will be greatly reduced. At that time, it is also the time when we can go out of the city to attack."


"Okay, I think the King of Ming and Qing's plan is feasible. Once the enemy's water source is cut off, their offensive will be weakened rapidly. At that time, we can not only change from defense to offense, but we can also successfully drive the enemy out of Xiongguan! As soon as the fighting at the other border gates stops, we can concentrate our forces to drive all the Fenglai enemies back to their hometowns." Ye Jingyu's deputy, Ma Chong, was the first to clap his hands, no matter what poison or not, if he can kill Fighting away the enemy bandits is the best strategy.


"Okay, the last general also agrees!" The other generals also agreed one after another, even Ye Jingyu nodded silently, silently approving this strategy.

Xuanyuan Yi pondered for a moment, then pointed to the picture that Cai Moyu pointed to just now, and said with a bow: "Okay, Ma Chong listens to the order!".


"The end is here." The man named Ma Chong immediately stood up with his fists clasped, only to listen to Xuanyuan Yi's loud order: "Lead your subordinates to collect the laxatives in the pharmacies in the city. If the amount is not enough, order someone to put them in the pharmacies. The crotons, kansui, and petunias are also collected together."


"The last general takes orders." Ma Chong looked happy, and then quickly left the tent with one of his subordinates.

Yun Qing looked at Xuanyuan Yi slightly unexpectedly, but met his eyes unexpectedly.She couldn't help but smile slightly, and nodded lightly to him, seeing him showing her handsome face, the knowing look made her feel at ease.


She didn't expect that Yi not only approved of Mo Yu's strategy, but also gave such instructions to his subordinates, which made her sigh: In fact, for the sake of this country, he also gave up many principles that he once insisted on.

He thought that those croton things contained quite a lot of toxins, but now, he couldn't care less about them.


In fact, if you change yourself, why not make a decision like this?
Now that the enemy is in front of us, our country, country, rivers and mountains will not be protected. If we stick to the principles, then not only the thousands of soldiers in the city will suffer, but also the poor innocent people in the city.


Even more soldiers and civilians will suffer because of this. Who doesn't understand which is more important?
Keeping the way of benevolence and righteousness for a while, but killing more innocent lives, even if it is benevolence, how can you bear it?
Compared with the two evils, choose the lesser one. This is an eternal policy, and the only way to do it is to take it.
