The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Then, the hands moved up to the face and continued to scratch twice. After a lot of tossing and turning, a human face was finally revealed. It turned out to be Sui Dan's face. At this time, Sui Dan still had his eyes closed, and he looked half asleep and half awake. Not only that, he also used a finger to pick his nose unscrupulously, and then squinted his eyes, as if he was identifying the surrounding environment and direction.

After a while, Sui Dan was surrounded by the group of snakes and walked away gradually, until he finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

As Sui Dan and the group of snakes left, the tense people felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Then they all turned around and left in tacit agreement.

Several people secretly regretted in their hearts, why did they have to come here to watch Sui Dan's weird performance?

The beginning of the year.

At this time, it was still dark before dawn, but the enemy's camp was already in chaos, the level of confusion far exceeding when the granary caught fire yesterday.

A soldier ran up to Ji Yuanqiang and Song Baokang in a panic with disorderly steps.

These two experienced generals have always had strict work and rest habits. They get up on time at the beginning of the Yin hour every day, and before the sky is fully bright, they have already begun to carefully supervise the soldiers' training. Over the years, their rigorous attitude towards soldiers' training is no less than that of the famous Sha Guanghan. What's more, they have a tough battle to fight today, and they have already made preparations. Therefore, before the soldiers got up, Ji Yuanqiang and Song Baokang led several capable generals to sit together and carefully discuss the strategy of attack.

The soldier who suddenly broke in was terrified and shouted breathlessly: "General Ji, something terrible has happened! Many of our soldiers have died strangely, and even many of our horses have died!"

Ji Yuanqiang frowned upon hearing this and asked sternly, "Why did he die? Tell me the truth!"

The soldier stammered, "I don't know. It looks like poisoning."

Song Baokang, who was standing by, looked puzzled and retorted, "Poisoned? That's impossible! Our entire army eats the same food, how could anyone be poisoned?"

The soldier who delivered the message waved his hands and explained: "No, no, no, it's not ordinary food poisoning. General, you should go and see the specific situation in person. I can't explain it clearly."

Ji Yuanqiang knew something was wrong when he saw the messenger was so panicked. He asked, "How many people died? Report as soon as possible!"

“It hasn’t been counted yet.”

When Ji Yuanqiang and Song Baokang heard that a lot of people had died, they immediately got up and went to see.

Hearing this, Ji Yuanqiang and Song Baokang's hearts tightened at the same time. They looked at each other and saw suspicion and shock in each other's eyes. There is no doubt that since the number of casualties has not been counted clearly, the death toll must be quite large! Thinking of this, the two could no longer sit still, and immediately stood up and hurriedly followed the person who brought the news to check the situation.

At this time, a military doctor came over with a serious expression and said firmly: "According to the results of the preliminary examination, these people should have died of poisoning after being bitten by something."

"What on earth bit me?" Ji Yuan was desperate to know the answer.

The military doctor frowned and shook his head, indicating that he was not sure. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "In my opinion, it is most likely caused by poisonous snakes, but the problem is, why are there so many poisonous snakes suddenly around our camp? And even if there are so many poisonous snakes, how can they sneak into various tents and launch attacks without anyone noticing? It is really puzzling..." In the end, even this experienced military doctor felt very confused and found it difficult to give a definite answer.

Song Baokang at the side quickly interrupted and said, "Is there any survivor who can be rescued and provide us with some clues?"

The military doctor shook his head helplessly again. "This is very strange. In all the tents where the incident occurred, no one survived. We still don't know what terrible things happened to them that night. According to the soldiers who were on guard at the time, there were no strange sounds from the tents where the incident occurred from beginning to end, including calls for help and screams. It's very strange."

After hearing this, Ji Yuanqiang's face instantly became as gloomy and terrifying as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Immediately organize people to count and find out how many people died as soon as possible!"

At this time, a man said tremblingly: "Report to the general, half of our camp has been attacked, and half of the horses have fallen."

Upon hearing this news, Ji Yuanqiang was struck by lightning. He couldn't believe it. "What? Half of our troops were killed or injured overnight?" Ji Yuanqiang could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. He roared angrily, "Who did this? You must find out the truth for me."

Song Baokang frowned, thought for a moment, and analyzed: "A ferocious venomous snake may bite a dozen people, but more than 20,000 people died here. If it was really caused by a venomous snake, how many venomous snakes would be needed?"

However, Ji Yuanqiang said, "In my opinion, this is not accidental. This is a malicious act deliberately planned by someone. People can be killed by poisonous snakes, but what about horses? We all know that horses cannot be killed by poisonous snakes. If it was a poisonous snake that attacked our camp, why didn't so many soldiers search for it and see any trace of a snake?"

After Ji Yuanqiang finished speaking, Song Baokang fell into deep thought. After a long while, Song Baokang finally spoke, "... General Ji, given the current situation, should we still carry out our original plan to attack Fengying today? You see, all of our soldiers are in a state of panic. If we don't stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible, I'm afraid that before we can officially engage the enemy, we will be in chaos and defeated."

Ji Yuanqiang's face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he asserted: "We have been tricked by Sha Guanghan again. They just want to weaken our forces and hinder us from attacking Fengying. I guess he doesn't have too many soldiers at hand."

"how do I say this?"

"Think about it, their so-called Fengqi country was established not long ago, and there are only two counties, Fengying and Qixiang. Fengying was originally a place where our Dalang country exiled criminals. Not only is it remote, but the conditions are also extremely difficult. As for Qixiang, it was originally a border area of ​​the southern Yan country. Although the terrain is dangerous and the area is vast, it is by no means a rich and prosperous place. Prefectures like these have a sparse population, so the number of soldiers that can be recruited is naturally very limited."
