Vol 3 Chapter 39: Vicious scheme (one more)

Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang didn't rush on their way, but when they encountered the town, they would settle down to rest in the dark. They stopped and went. Seven days later, they came to the West.
A month ago, General Su had broken through the cities of Yucheng, Yancheng, and Lan in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After conquering the three cities, he garrisoned the city and stopped rushing forward, waiting for Chuhan to attack the city.
Chu Han rushed back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After arriving at Lancheng, he saw that Lancheng was changed by Su Cheyi. The city was guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops. It was impervious to the wind. Exhausted, he could only take the Northern Zhou Army to garrison in Qingfeng County, fifty miles away from Lancheng, to recuperate.
Seeing that Chu Han was not attacking the city, Su Che stationed his soldiers and horses in Qingfeng County, in the middle of his arms, and assaulted Qingfeng County overnight.
In the old days, he fought with Su Che several times. Chu Han made sure that Su Che had a gentleman's style. He used his army to pay attention to the method of being upright. He set up a trick and seriously injured him. Now he did not expect Su Che to be a gentleman. He breathed, even before the camp was ready, he sent troops to attack Qingfeng County and took the initiative to attack. The Northern Zhou Army was exhausted and unable to respond to the enemy. He gave an order and withdrew another fifty miles to Liuyang City.
After Chu Han withdrew to Liuyang City, Su Che stopped forcibly attacking the city, and returned to Lancheng to garrison.
Then Chu Han recuperated for a few days and sent troops to attack Lancheng. After several battles, Chu Han still failed to recapture Lancheng, so he suspended his troops temporarily and thought about countermeasures.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty did not say that Chu Han sent troops to Yanbei and lost his soldiers and horses. Su Che captured three cities in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the damage was even greater. Even if the Northern Zhou emperor spoiled Chu Han again, complaints from the government and the wild, he could not suppress While staying, he also aroused anger and ordered Chu Han to retake the three cities within three months, otherwise he would be punished for the crime of damaging the soldiers and breaking the cities.
Chu Han was under pressure from the capital and thought for a few days, but he finally came up with a vicious trick.
The source of the water diversion of Lancheng lies in Linhe, which is dozens of miles away, and poisons Linhe. Then, as long as the people in Lancheng use water, they will be poisoned. Although he also knew the viciousness of this scheme, he was already helpless.
Although Shan Zhuo did not approve of Chu Han's use of this poison, after all, there were people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Lancheng. After Su Che attacked Beiwan City, he treated the people of Northern Zhou kindly and did not slaughter the people of Northern Zhou, but now he also knows that if Chu Han did not As soon as possible to regain the North Wednesday City, then the spitting stars of the ruling and the opposition can drown him, not to mention that he will be succeeded to the throne in the future, and it will be extremely difficult to maintain his current status.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he still agreed with Chu Han's strategy.
On this day, Chu Han stood in front of the window, looking at the deep night, and said to Shan Zhuo, "Shan Zhuo, even you think I am cruel, right?"
Shan Zhuo was silent for a moment, and still shook his head, "Since ancient times, no matter how gentle a gentleman is on the battlefield, he only talks about success or failure. The second prince is now forced to use this vicious trick. He will understand."
Chu Han said with a hand, "When I was young, when my father saw me dancing with swords and swords, he asked me jokingly, what kind of person do I want to be when I grow up? I told my father that I want to be a great general and be famous all over the world. Famous generals, people like Su Che."
Shan Zhuo was taken aback, looking at Chu Han.
Chu Han glanced back at him, "You think it’s surprising, right? I see Su Che as an enemy, but when I was young, I didn’t want to be a person like my father, but I wanted to be a person like Su Che. The world, a true hero."
Shan Zhuo nodded, and Su Che was indeed a famous general at the time, a true hero.
Chu Han looked out the window again and suddenly laughed, "But the emperor father told me that there is nothing good about being a person like Su Che. He told King Yanbei not to do it, but instead wanted to be the general of Nanqi. Then, King Rong An died on the battlefield. He took the blame and resigned and buried the country. Even the death of King Rong An and the princess was unable to investigate the case of the death of King Rong An and the Princess. Feng. What can a famous general do? The monarch is not wise to rejuvenate the country, even if he has the ability to stabilize the country, it is in vain."
Shan Zhuo nodded, "The emperor is justified."
Chu Han laughed, "Right? You also think that the emperor is justified, so I also rejected the idea of ​​becoming someone like Su Che, and wanted to be a person like the emperor. Bei Zhou, under the control of the emperor, Both civil and military are prosperous, the country is prosperous, and the army is strong. The father has ambitions. He wants to one day conquer Southern Qi, dominate the world, and assign the land of Nanqi to the northern Zhou surname during his lifetime. I inherited my father’s ideas and naturally inherited his ambitions. ."
Shan Zhuo was silent again after hearing this.
Chu Han said, "The father and the prince have many heirs, but since I was a child, I have loved me alone. The government and the people thought that he loved me because of my mother and concubine, but only I knew that he was because I became more and more like him, watching me. , Is to see the hope under his ambition."
When Shan Zhuo heard Chu Han say this for the first time, he suddenly felt that the second prince was extremely right. The second prince was indeed the person most like the emperor.
At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and snowflakes floated in the gloomy sky of the west.
Chu Han raised his hand and closed the window, and said, "The first snowfall is going to fall in the West, taking advantage of Linhe is not yet frozen, and poisoning tonight." After the words fell, he turned around and looked at Shan Zhuo." Even if I am scolded by any means, I will still be the ruler of the world, so I cannot lose, let alone lose."
Shan Zhuo understands deeply that if he can't take back the North Wednesday City, then the second prince will have a hard way in the future, for fear that he will have no chance with Dabao since then. He nodded heavily.
Chu Han waved his hand and said, "Go! I hope that Su Che is a real wise general, and it's not in vain that I always wanted to be like him when I was a kid." When the words fell, he said, "I can only gamble. If he disappoints me, he will also disappoint the world, and he will look at this famous player again. If I lose, I will drag him down."
Shan Zhuo pursed his lips, "Even if the second prince fails, the final general will follow the second prince to the death."
Chu Han's expression was moved, and she reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Shan Zhuo stopped talking, and immediately went down and ordered someone to arrange.
The next day, people in Lancheng fell ill in batches, first the people, then the soldiers, with the same condition, with weak limbs and weakness. Su Che heard about it when he got up early, and quickly ordered the military doctor to conduct a thorough investigation. Find out the problem is water.
Someone cast cartilage poison in the diversion water.
This kind of poison will not cause death, but it will make the limbs weak, the body will be weak, and it will not even have the strength to take things. If it is not understood for seven days, it will die from exhaustion.
This kind of poison cannot be said to be malicious, but the most life-death in the days of defending the city.
People can last for seven days without eating, but only three days without drinking water. Half of the people in the city have been infected with the poison, and the other half were not poisoned because they discovered it before drinking water.
In other words, Su Che's 400,000 soldiers had already fallen 200,000.
Su Che immediately ordered that the people in the city were no longer allowed to draw water from the well, and ordered people to thoroughly investigate the source of the poisoning. Under thorough investigation, the military doctors found that the source of the water diversion in the city had a problem, otherwise it would not be possible to drink half of the city. People in the water are poisoned by this.
Su Che heard that there was a problem with the source of the water diversion, and suddenly thought that it was Chu Han's poisonous scheme, and he was immediately annoyed, "The prince of Bei Tuesday is really vicious and insidious, and even this kind of malicious scheme was used."
The army conspired to ask Su Che, "General, let the people detoxify! If this continues, how can you withstand the Bei Zhou siege?"
Su Che did not expect that Chu Han would not even care about his own citizens in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In order to seize the city, he used this vicious tactic to immediately order the military doctors to detoxify, but the military doctors only said, "This kind of cartilage poison, although the doctors in the army can I can recognize it, but I don’t know how to detoxify it.
Su Che was suddenly anxious when he heard this.
When he was anxious, there was a report to visit the Malays, and a large number of soldiers and horses from the Northern Zhou Dynasty came to attack the city, and the coming was fierce.
Su Che quickly mobilized troops and horses to respond to the enemy.
The war had been fought for a whole day. Although Chu Han had not captured Lancheng, Su Che also lost many soldiers in the city. It was very dark, and the war was still going on.
Su Che had long heard the news that Su Fengnuan was coming to the West from Yanbei, so he didn't want to give up the Lancheng that she had finally won before she arrived.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang rushed to Lancheng when it was dark that day. They were hearing that Chu Han was attacking the city. They stopped on the Luowei five miles away from the city, went up the hillside, and looked towards Lancheng. Seeing that the party shouted and screamed, the torch almost illuminated the entire Lancheng realm.
At a glance, he knew that Chu Han had poured his troops.
Snow was floating in the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of cold weapons and the faint smell of blood.
Ye Chang looked at it for a moment and said, "How long has this battle been fought today?"
Su Fengnuan said, "Chu Han attacked Lancheng with heavy troops, and Lancheng has 400,000 soldiers and horses stationed there. If he wants to take Lancheng, he must have deployed all the available troops. Now the rear must be empty, it is better for you and me to detour and go. Liuyang City."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to use this mere 10,000 troops to capture Liuyang City? I'm afraid you can't do it?"
Su Fengnuan blinked, "If it is a hard attack, naturally it can't be done, but if it is a clever move?"
Ye Chang looked at her and said with a smile, "Listen with respect."
Su Fengnuan said, "Behind the detour battlefield, forged a banner of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. You and I brought your troops back to Liuyang City, pretending to be soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was so dark and coincided with heavy snowfall. The soldiers from Liuyang City recognized the banner and let them in. Cheng, I thought it was a soldier from the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had returned to the city. Xing might take a city from him without a single soldier."
Ye Chang laughed when he heard the words, "This is a very clever strategy, but you can figure it out, but with a mere 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can you defend a city? What about after the siege?"
Su Fengnuan turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "It only seizes the city but not the city. After seizing Liuyang City, he immediately transports the grain and grass away, leaving him an empty city without grain."
Ye Chang agreed with the words and said vigorously, "Go!"
