I am fish

The watchtower was built in less than a day. Ah Xin built the watchtower behind a dead branch, which could just hide the watchtower. Children do not block the line of sight, but also hide the body.The watchtower is built in a hurry but is very strong, simple but unambiguous.Zhen Wenjun climbed up to the watchtower to test it himself, and it was stable and did not shake at all, but the situation in Mengliang City fifteen miles away was not very clear.

She couldn't see clearly, but Ah Xin's eagle eyes could see the clue.

"The wine jars in the east of the city are piled up like a mountain, and a large number of women are arrested into the city every day. It's really a joy to drink." Sending wine and meat beauties into the city, "Let's have fun, you don't have many days to live."

Ruhe's wine-loving beauties were sent to Mengliang City, and they had already won a few big victories. The soldiers who were rewarded by the leaders of the Jin Dynasty were addicted to wine and sex. Take Runing.With the general's order, they let go of drinking and carnival all night long.A few days later, Hu Erji gradually felt that something was wrong, as if someone was secretly pushing and drumming to make the soldiers gradually depressed, so he immediately issued a prohibition order, smashed all the alcohol, and prohibited anyone from sending alcohol into the city, and those who violated the order will be executed.The beauties in the city were also dragged outside the city and buried alive, and no one was allowed to mention them again.

It has been more than a month since Mengliang was defeated, the rewards after the victory should be over, and Hu Erji made the brothers ready to go, and it was time to continue to enter Dayu.

"They can't leave." Zhen Wenjun chuckled while stirring the roots and soup cakes in the pot, "In order to keep them, I spent a lot of money."

Ah Xin sent people to deliver tens of thousands of jars of wine with gifts added by Zhen Wenjun, which were cartloads of blades wrapped in honey. Every time the soldiers rushing to Jin took a sip, they would cut their throats silently.These thin cuts may seem to do little harm, but they can cause fatal injuries after a long period of time.

Zhen Wenjun added the powder of Ye Furong kernel to each jar of wine.

Ye hibiscus is the most important ingredient of Furong powder, and its core is used by many businessmen to put it into food, which can make the food delicious and addictive.

Adding it to wine also has the same effect.

Zhen Wenjun didn't bring too many night hibiscus cores, and it just so happens that the effect of this substance will increase sharply when added to the wine. Just crush it and add a little powder to each jar of wine.The soldiers who rushed to Jin Dynasty still wanted to drink after drinking. Each of them drank more than ten altars every day. After drinking for a month, they were all addicted.Hu Erji suddenly imposed a prohibition on alcohol. They could not drink alcohol or touch women. The soldiers who had nowhere to vent were scratching their heads and scratching their heads. They behaved strangely. Like brothers, at this moment they are actually fighting over a trivial matter.

"What's going on here?!" Hu Erji lived in the prefect's mansion where the prefect Liu Guan used to be. He was furious, called Lin Jian over, and asked him in Chong Jin dialect, "Do you Dayu people use any sorcery? Why? My brothers will become like this?"

Lin Jian had a Chongjin friend when he was a child, from whom he learned a lot of Chongjin, and was able to communicate with Hu Erji freely.He also found it quite funny to hear Hu Erji say this:

"People from Dayu think that Chongjin is a monster that eats people, and people from Chongjin think that Dayu is a monster who can do sorcery. This is quite interesting. General, people from Dayu don't know sorcery, but they can use it Poison. If someone guessed correctly, some poison might have been added to the wine sent to the city a few days ago, perhaps it was Furong powder."

"Furong powder? What is that?"

"It's a very popular potion in Da Yu territory. It can strengthen the body and increase energy, keep out the cold and refresh the mind. After taking it, you can not feel cold even in the cold winter."

"There is such a powerful potion?"

"But it only works for a while, and it is extremely addictive. Once you take it, it is difficult to quit for life. Many side effects will make people irritable, addicted to the senses, and hallucinations. I am afraid that even they themselves will not know what they will do when they become addicted to the drug. I know. The most frightening thing is that taking Furong Powder for a long time will easily lead to festering, gangrene and death."

"Using such vicious tricks to deal with my brother!" Hu Er slapped the wooden table, furious, "Where are these bugs hiding now?"

"Back to the general, the deserters and the common people should retreat to Xie County, a small county in the west, and Li Ju, the emperor of the Great Yu, should also be in Xie County."

Hu Erji wanted to gather troops to go to Xie County, but he called a few "horse heads" who led the army. These horse heads had dark circles under their eyes and were depressed.

Hu Erji was very annoyed when he saw it, he dragged two of them out and beheaded them as an example to others, and warned all the soldiers that anyone who dared to drink again would be dealt with by military law.

For a while, no one dared to drink anymore, but Ye Furong's addiction was like a bug that couldn't be caught or killed. It kept digging holes in the hearts of Jin soldiers, making them hang down and lose their spirits, which greatly delayed their efforts. military situation.Hu Erji's plan to sneak attack Xie County was blocked, so he could only stay in Mengliang City and rectify the military style.

Zhen Wenjun's strategy of using poison was very successful, boosting the morale of the remnants of the county.

Ah Xin was a bit hesitant. After all, she had experienced a series of pains that would make life worse than death after taking Furong powder by accident.It's just that the word "improper means" does not exist on the battlefield. Every monument is made of the bones of the losers. She knows this better than anyone else after many years of fighting.So for what Zhen Wenjun did, she still did not hesitate to praise Zhen Wenjun in front of everyone, and praised Zhen Wenjun fiercely.

Ah Xin is a person who distinguishes between public and private, and Zhen Wenjun understands this more and more.After being encouraged, I worked harder, developed the level with Bu Jie, and planned to attack water.

That's right, steps are coming.

At the beginning, Zhen Wenjun refused to let him come to the northern line, but he secretly followed the army and ran here. Unfortunately, he got lost halfway and almost fed wolves in the wild. Finally, he arrived at Jiexi County and found out that the army was defeated. Meng Liang escaped All the people retreated to Jiexi County, and Zhen Wenjun and A Xin often went to Sansan Peak to spy on the situation in Mengliang City, so they came to find them.When Zhen Wenjun saw him, it was like seeing his mother's family who gave cotton-padded jackets to Han Dong. He was so happy that he almost shed tears.

Bu Jie, whose clothes were tattered like a savage, cupped his hands excitedly the first time he saw Zhen Wenjun: "Girl!"

Zhen Wenjun returned the salute, and said loudly: "Level! No... Wen Sheng!"

"Level?" Bu Jie wondered.

Zhen Wenjun was so excited that he accidentally yelled out what was in his heart.

She brought a bowl of soup cakes to Bu Jie for him to eat first. Bu Jie had been hungry for several days, and ate them all in a huff.Zhen Wenjun asked him if he knew the production level.

"Could it be that the girl wants to take back Mengliang City with a water attack?" Bu Jie understood immediately, "I once had a teacher who was a water attacker. I also learned a thing or two from him, and participated in several battles with him. , and helped him make levels, plates and poles. It was just a start under the guidance of the teacher at that time. If I want to make it myself, I am afraid I still need to think about it.”

Zhen Wenjun immediately encouraged him: "It's great that you know how to do it! Make siege equipment immediately! I'll help you! You teach me!"

Zhen Wenjun is very smart, Bu Jie only told her about the description of level in the military book "Taibai Yin Jing": "The pole is reflected by the plate, and the three driftwood teeth and the plate are visually inspected, and the size of the pole is used as the height. When looking forward, the dimensions multiply. Hills, ditches, and water heights and depths can all be measured.” After a little teaching, Zhen Wenjun was able to infer other things from one instance, to think through water research, and even to remind the wrong steps The place, the concession step is quite admirable.

Zhen Wenjun was studying siege techniques and equipment day and night in full swing, while the defeated soldiers and people in Xie County had no fighting spirit at all, and they were unwilling to fight back to Mengliang with Ah Xin.

Li Ju could stand up to boost morale, but the county magistrate of Xie County has slipped away, and now only Ah Xin can take charge of the overall situation.Ah Xin is indeed Xie Fuchen's daughter, but she is also Li Yanyi's lover, and it is not certain who she will turn her back to in the end.Once he gained power, it would be difficult to hold back. Li Ju couldn't stand up for her and let her ask for such a cheap price.

"Why? Are you able to swallow this shame and humiliation without any desire for revenge?" Ah Xin asked the remnant soldiers.

"Think about it, but we know what kind of people we are and how much ability we have. We finally escaped and don't want to go back to die."

"Yes, yes, I would have fled back to the south long ago if I hadn't been allowed to leave."

"It's not rough, everyone wants to kill the beard, but we all know ourselves. Can we prove it by fighting the last time? At that time, there were two generals in charge, and they lost the shit. , this time there is not even a person who can lead the army, how to fight. It is not to die in vain. "

The private soldier who had been following Ah Xin said, "Who says there is no one to lead the army? Our lady Ah Xin has been on the battlefield for nearly ten years, and many great victories were won by her command! Are you so ignorant and ignorant that you have never heard of it?" What!"

After hearing this, everyone laughed: "You said it too, ah Xin, lady! It's just a little lady's tricks, why don't the gentlemen rush to the forefront? No one can talk about war on paper, but it's not at all when encountering a fierce Saohu. What's going on!"

"The young master advises this Mrs. Axin not to go to the front again. Everyone knows that Saohu likes women. If Mrs. Axin falls into the hands of Huzi, shall we kill Huzi first or save her first?"

There was a lot of laughter, the private soldier who spoke for Ah Xin was still a young gentleman, he admired Ah Xin's strategy and strategy very much, he couldn't stand these foul words sticking to her, and wanted to kill these shit-spitting people with a knife. The bastard was killed and was stopped by Ah Xin.

Zhen Wenjun, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw Ah Xin's calm expression, as if he was used to these words for a long time, and was not annoyed.

Holding the flagon and wine glass in his hand, Ah Xin poured wine for himself, and said calmly: "If saying these words can relieve your fear and self-annoyance, you can just say it. After saying this, you can go back to your hometown." .”

Some of the people didn't come back to their senses, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

"You mean we can go back?"

Ah Xin nodded to the person who asked the question: "Didn't you escape desperately to go back to your hometown and reunite with your family? Otherwise, why did you keep your life? Isn't it good to let you go back to your hometown now?"

Most of the [-] deserters and [-] civilians who retreated from Mengliang wanted to leave, but at first Ah Xin refused to let them go, thinking that they would go back to Mengliang.Now she would agree to give way, which was unexpected.When good things happen suddenly, many people don't believe it, thinking that there is some kind of conspiracy hidden.

Ah Xin simply stood under the city wall of Xie County and let her part open the city gate.

The chilly wind poured in from outside the city, and she had already made her posture clear.

"If you want to go home, go back, and spend the last time with your family, lingering! Once you go back, the Jin army will soon break through and attack Runing. After Runing is restrained, the Hu thief They will come to each of your homes, kill your parents and take over your wives and children!" Ah Xin pointed outside the gate, "Go!"

Ah Xin's words chilled the hearts of those present, hundreds of people left, but most of them stayed.

"I'll give you the last time to stick incense." Ah Xin planted the incense on the ground, still standing by the door, waiting for the next group of people to leave.

The stick of incense burned out quickly, and no one left.

"Okay, close the door."

The heavy city gates were closed, and Ah Xin looked at the remaining people, with doubts, numbness, and bewilderment hidden in their eyes.She looked at them one by one: "Since you didn't leave, it means that you still have some blood in your heart, and you want to show the beards some seriousness. Or maybe you don't have any blood, and you don't even want to show to the arrogant But you are smart people, you know you may die if you stay here, and you still have some hope of victory. But you can only die if you flee back! Die poor, starve, and die as a subjugated slave Even if you narrowly escaped death, you will always bear the name of a deserter! Is this what you want? Even me, the little lady you call me, can go to the front line and fight to the death with Chongjin Beard. You men are afraid What! But is it not as good as my little lady!"

Ah Xin walked through the crowd, looking at each of them and questioning them one by one, as if one person was arguing with tens of thousands of people.

All the men who had just laughed at her didn't leave, but A Xin's words made their eyelids twitch.

"They're all men." Ah Xin tugged at the hem of the man who said, "It's all men who rush to the front" and said, "Why can't you compare to the men who rush to Jin? Are you worthless?"

The muscles on the man's face twitched, and his fists were clenched harder than rocks.

"Actually, who is not afraid of death? Everyone is afraid, and so am I." Ah Xin let him go and sat down on the stone steps beside the road.Zhen Wenjun found that everyone's eyes were attracted by her, and they were all listening to what she would continue to say.

"A person's life is like a white horse passing by in a blink of an eye. I am afraid of death, but I am even more afraid of dying in this life without doing anything. Are you sure you will die? No, but you will definitely be rewarded for fighting!" Ah Xin pointed to a mansion with vermilion roof tiles in the east of the county town, "Our Emperor Da Yu is there! He will see what you do today In the eyes! Don’t you worry about not being rewarded if you beat the Chongjin people away! How many people have no chance to climb to the top in their lives. In your hands. Use your life to make a fortune for a lifetime, tell me, is it a loss! 'Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as your home', if you can't keep the rise and fall of the world in your heart, at least you have to seek a prosperous career for yourself in this life Opportunity! Winners and losers, isn’t it always like this since ancient times? Doing nothing and falling into the loess like this, why did you come to this world!”

Ah Xin finally came to the most important point, and Zhen Wenjun saw a complex expectation and hope emerging from anger on the faces of these people who had been poor all their lives and were afraid of poverty.

"Bring it up!" Ah Xin stood up and shouted, and the private soldiers brought up more than ten large boxes.

Everyone raised their heads curiously, discussing in low voices.

Zhen Wenjun was also very excited, Ah Xin said that no amount of more could compare to the excitement of the last one, which was so deceptive!

The lid of the box was opened in unison, and with the sound of ringing, the box was full of gold, which was staggering.This group of people had never seen so much gold in their entire lives. Even on a cloudy day, the gold was very eye-catching, making everyone's staring eyes unable to move away, salivating.

"In addition to the emperor's reward, whoever is the vanguard will be the first. I will let him take the gold! Take as much as he can!"

If it is said that the emperor's reward is a little far away, the mountain of gold in front of him is real.And this Xie Xin actually said to take it casually?

Several men rushed up and pointed at her: "You really mean what you say!"

"Of course it's true." Ah Xin tore off the jade pendant from her waist and threw it to him, "If you don't believe me, I'll leave this to you."

A few of them are butchers who kill pigs and sheep, how can they recognize what is good jade.But the whole body of this jade is lubricated and its tentacles are warm, so it looks like it can be sold for a good price.

Everyone saw that this woman was not shy at all, she actually put the jade pendant out, and believed in what she said even more.

"I can give you all the gold and silver. After you take my money, you will be my soldiers in the future. I want to make one thing clear." Ah Xin drew out the long sword that never left behind him, and pointed at the crowd, "If you retreat before the battle I will not be polite if you deal with it by military law."

Zhen Wenjun understood that what Ah Xin used was a strategy that all generals would use. "Six Secret Teachings" says that "rewards are like high mountains, and punishments are like deep streams", and it is fundamental to distinguish between rewards and punishments.Rewards must be heavy to stimulate soldiers' emotions, and punishments must be clear to eliminate bad spirits and stabilize the morale of the soldiers.

As expected, Ah Xin was an experienced general, and quickly reunited the scattered people. With soldiers available, her prestige was enhanced. Even the people in Mengliang and Xie County eagerly wanted to join the army.

A delicate little lady, who seemed to be under the age of Ji, also ran up to Ah Xin and said:

"Sister, sister, I also want to join the army and get a beard, and I also want a big gold ingot! Is it possible?"

Ah Xin asked her to sit next to her: "Of course, don't doubt your ability, you can kill Hu thieves, and you can also have big gold ingots."

"My name is Awen." The little girl said, "My parents gave me this name because they wanted me to spend my whole life in a stable place, without getting sick or in trouble, and I was not allowed to show my face. But I just don't like Anwen. , I like fighting, and fighting is the most interesting thing in the world. I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, so I can be your lieutenant general! Sister, let me follow you, okay? I think you are very powerful."

"Ah Wen, fighting is not fun." Ah Xin didn't just perfunctory her just because she was young, but said seriously, "War is a last resort, and everyone walks on the blade. If you really want to join the army If that is the case, you must first learn how to prevent wars from happening and how to keep the next party safe, and then learn how to kill people, this is the correct order."

Ah Wen's eyes were full of admiration, and he listened carefully, trying to keep everything she said in his heart.

Zhen Wenjun looked at Ah Wen and Ah Xin sitting together, and thought of Wei Tingxu.

Is it the same when she and Wei Tingxu are together in the eyes of others?

Looking at the snowy sky, apart from the coldness, there seemed to be some blood in the air.

I don't know if the person she misses has dinner today, but is there a small heater in her arms?

A total of 4000 strong men were recruited from the remnants of the Mengliang disaster, the people, the people of Xie County, the defenders, and private soldiers. Ah Xin continued to recruit warriors around Xie County. Those who draw the bow four jun and draw the crossbow nine chariots are all selected.This time, more than [-] people were gathered together.

The [-] army is ready to go, Zhen Wenjun's secret weapon for attacking the city has also been made, and the water attack is ready.

Now there is only one thing waiting.

Wait for the steps to open.

The steps are considerable, and you can judge tomorrow's weather through the night weather.

They need steps to determine when the best attack is.

After waiting for many days, the soldiers who were ready to move finally received the order-to launch an attack tomorrow!Unite as one to take back Mengliang!

Thinking of wealth and honor, they are excited!

Hu Erji received a letter of surrender from Guan Yang, the prefect.

Hu Erji asked Lin Jian to read the book of surrender, and Hu Erji was praised in the book, saying that he was the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, and that the whole city of Guan Yang was willing to surrender to Chongjin and become a citizen of Ural.

Ural is the god of Chongjin, of course Huerji knew, but he didn't know who Xiang Yu was.Lin Jian gave a general account of the Chu-Han dispute hundreds of years ago, and Hu Erji was very happy to hear it.

"You Central Plains people are really cunning."

Of course, Hu Erji would not be confused by a surrender letter of unknown authenticity. He sent a thousand Qingqi to Guanyang to investigate the situation.

As soon as the thousand Qingqi rushed under the three peaks, they were picked off by the trap set by Zhen Wenjun, and they were paralyzed by Sai Mafei in an instant and couldn't move.Ah Xin asked them to strip off their clothes and put on their costumes. He wanted to ride their horses and pretend to be a Jin soldier to sneak into the city and cooperate with each other.

The horses on which the soldiers rushed to Jin were very strong, and immediately became wild when they felt the breath of strangers.Bu Jie is a master of horse training, so don't panic, tell them the essence of horse training.Within half an hour, all the fierce horses were tamed, only two refused to obey, and were killed immediately by Bu Jie.

Zuo Kunda has been a messenger soldier since he was a child. He loves horses and becomes obsessed. He understands that these horses that refuse to surrender are the most loyal horses.Seeing the horse being beaten to death, he couldn't help crying.

Bu Jie told him that if these loyal horses were not killed now, they would starve to death later.How about helping them go easier.

After calculating the round-trip time, Bu Jie also predicted which day the freezing point will fall in the near future.After the heavy fog that day, the temperature must have dropped significantly.

After he confirmed the date, the soldiers and horses of Da Yu, who were disguised as Chongjin cavalry, gradually approached the gate of Mengliang City before the thick fog had completely dispersed.

The guards on the city wall couldn't see the face of the comer clearly. He vaguely looked like a light cavalry sent by the general. He was about to open the door, but the lieutenant general Buertu stopped him and said:

"No! These people are puppet soldiers pretending to be Da Yuren!"
