The war was in full swing, with both sides charging and killing each other repeatedly. The corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood gathered together and turned into a river. [Read the novel with the correct chapter,]
It wasn't until the sunset hung in the sky that both sides retreated their troops in unison.
Stare at them.
Yang Xuan looked at the slowly retreating Jiangzhou Army and said: Beware of their retreat. In addition, the scouts must risk their lives to spy on the Ningxing frontline sentry.
Ningxing did not dare to send out all the troops. He Lianrong said: No one knows how many of Lin Ya's remnants are left. If Ning Xing sends out all the troops to help, and Lin Ya's remnants launch a rebellion in Ningxing, this battle will be fought.
Collapse.
Changling also has a decisive side.
Yang Xuan always felt that Changling was a secretive person who looked young on the outside but was quite independent on the inside.
…
The eldest princess and King Lian Jiang have already led their troops to attack.
The news that Heliantong led his army to attack reached the court, and the officials celebrated with their crowns.
Changling asked: Does King Lianjiang have an explanation?
The messenger said: Your Majesty said, this battle will be won.
At this time, the only thing He Liantong could say was this: The eldest princess is going to move the capital! Make sure the courtiers can impeach him.
A courtier asked: Princess, do you want to send troops?
Some people shook their heads, fearing that Lin Ni's evil remnants would strike.
Lin Ya has been running rampant for many years. After the rebellion failed, Changling immediately launched a purge. However, it is still unknown how many remaining members are hidden in the court, localities, and the army.
This is also the reason why Changling was unable to dispatch Ningxing's last army.
I believe in King Lian Jiang! Changling said.
Then she went to the harem.
How is your majesty?
In the palace, the little emperor was lying on the bed, looking at his dying breath.
The medical officer shook his head, "It's not good."
When Wang Ju came, Wan Lingxiao became a little active and invited two generals to drink.
Has he ever discovered it? Changling asked.
Wang Ju shook his head, he went to a palace expert who was good at this.
There was a coldness between Changling's brows. You traitors and traitors must be punished!
Wang Ju smiled bitterly. The important thing is that there is no evidence for His Majesty's poison. If there is no evidence and the leader of the Eagle Guard is killed, there will be chaos within the Eagle Guard.
He Lianhong has been in charge of Eagle Guard for many years and has high prestige.
If he kills her at will, the Eagle Guard will no longer be the emperor's eagle dog, but an enemy.
Changling asked: Are you still unable to find the person and method of poisoning?
Wang Ju shook his head, tortured many people, searched many places, and even dug three feet into the ground, but still could not find any evidence.
thirsty!
At this time, the little emperor woke up, and the palace maid gave him a cup of water.
Changling looked back, "Bronze cup?"
Wang Ju continued: I even suspect that it is a curse. Eagle Guard can contact people with strange abilities. If someone uses a curse... Princess?
Changling walked in.
The little emperor was helped up, and the palace maid fed him water.
Changling asked in a warm voice: Does it taste good?
The little emperor nodded, sweet!
Changling said to the palace maid: "You also have a sip."
The palace maid didn't dare, Changling frowned and drank!
The palace maid took a sip, and Chang Ling asked: What does it taste like?
The maid tasted it carefully, it was sweet!
Changling asked: What dishes did your Majesty use for dinner?
Copper bowl, copper plate.
Changling asked again: What kind of pot are you cooking for your majesty?
Copper jar!
Changling's face turned livid. He asked Emperor Xiaode and the late Emperor about the tableware they used to eat. Go immediately!
Wang Ju asked; but is it inappropriate?
Changling was silent.
The investigation of this matter was quick. I found the chambermaid who served the two emperors at that time, and I found out after just asking.
They are all copper cups and bowls, and they are said to be delicious. As for the kitchen utensils, it is unknown. However, those copper pots have been used for many years.
Changling turned around and stared at the Eagle Guard.
yes!
Wang Ju heard the murderous intention.
Capture everyone in the kitchen and interrogate the origin of the copper jars. Capture the person in charge of the cups, dishes and chopsticks in the palace and interrogate the origin of these tableware.
yes!
Groups of people set off quietly.
Changling glanced at the little emperor, sighed, and walked out of the palace.
Wang Ju followed him out and asked: Is there poison in it?
Changling nodded.
There was once a country where the king and his ministers all liked to use cauldrons to cook. As time went by, the children and grandchildren were often deformed or stupid. Moreover, it became more and more difficult for the heirs.
Wang Ju was shocked and arrived at Emperor Xiaode's Helian Peak first.
The prince killed all his children and grandchildren in one night. Later, He Lianfeng tried hard, but he had no heirs anymore, so he had no choice but to make He Lianchun the prince.
Is it inappropriate to use copper as tableware?
Changling shook his head. There was a country in the far west, which was extremely powerful. The powerful people in the country loved to enjoy themselves and drank grape wine most. They found that grape wine was the most delicious when held in lead cups, and the same was true for water. So,
Everyone drank from lead cups. Later, they still thought it was not enough, so they sprinkled lead powder into the wine...
lead?
Yes, it’s lead!
Changling said: The tripod contains lead, but the copper bowl should not have so much lead! Someone deliberately made these things!
Can lead poison people?
Wang Ju really doesn’t know about this.
People who suffer from lead poisoning will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, fatigue, irritability, and trouble sleeping and eating... People will become stupid. Gradually, the poison will penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and this person will be close to death.
Wang Ju shuddered, this was done deliberately. Starting from Emperor Xiaode, only...Lin Ya!
Changling nodded, only Lin Ya had this motive.
Grand Princess, who told the story about the two countries? Wang Ju had never heard of it, so he was inevitably a little suspicious.
he!
…
Eagle Guard.
Commander-in-Chief, many of the palace servants were suddenly captured, and all the imperial chefs were captured!
He Lianhong, who was sitting in the duty room, raised his head and said calmly: Got it.
She sat there, raised her hands to gather her waist-length hair, and slowly pulled her hair into a bun.
…
——Changling, I heard that the nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty had the habit of cooking with cauldrons. If they say it is bold, don’t eat it.
Why?
The cauldron contains lead.
Is lead poisonous?
Yes, the poison that cannot be seen for a while slowly accumulates, causing vomiting and diarrhea, and the person will become a fool and eventually die from various diseases caused by lead poisoning.
I don't believe it!
Ahem! Give me a push on your shoulder and I’ll tell you about it...
There was a country in the Central Plains in the early years. At that time, most of the bronzes were used, and the cooking utensils were tripods. This is what the so-called Zhongming Ding Food House means. There was lead in the making of the big tripod...
The night is dark.
All the people in the imperial kitchen were taken down, and the stewards were interrogated...
…
Under the same night, Yang Xuan and the generals analyzed today's battle situation.
The morale of the Jiangzhou army is high, and the soldiers are brave and fearless of death, which makes us somewhat helpless.
Jiang Cunzhong approached the command today and discovered many problems. In the Jiangzhou army, the generals rushed to the front. With the generals in front, the soldiers were not afraid of life and death.
In terms of strength, the Jiangzhou Army is not as good as ours. But they relied on their bravery to block our offensive. Pei Jian said.
Everyone looked at Yang Xuan.
I don’t have any means. Yang Xuan said; This battle with more than 200,000 troops was covered by scouts and rangers from both sides.
All the methods used by each other to detect and harass the opponent's rear. No ambushes can be used. However, there is one thing that can be used.
Yang Xuan pointed to his chest, courage!
Everyone was puzzled.
Get some rest early, tomorrow is the decisive battle!
Yang Xuan said.
The generals will retire.
Han Ji followed him out, stopped everyone, and said: Chang'an's army should be dispatched. Once the news reaches Northern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang will inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, this battle cannot be delayed...
Everyone understood.
Jiang Cunzhong said: What does the Duke mean by courage?
Han Ji shook his head. If the Duke doesn't tell you, then don't ask.
At this time, the pressure on the commanders of both sides is so great that most people can hardly imagine it.
Therefore, it is best not to create any obstacles for the general.
He Lianrong said: There was no movement from the Shegu people.
Han Ji said: They are happy to be fishermen.
…
The time is pulled back to ten days ago.
Retreat?
Asibao, are you crazy?
Faced with doubts, Asibao said: After conquering the city of Beiliao, I saw the greed and corruption of those nobles, which was irredeemable depravity. But what I saw in Northern Xinjiang was prosperity and high morale.
We retreat and let them fight to the death!
On that day, Asi Baobao rode to the city where the Northern Liao army was stationed, broke his arrows, and swore that the Shegu people would not take a step forward until the news of the end of the Jiangzhou War came.
…
The news has reached Ningxing.
Asibao swore on the souls of his ancestors and his children that the Shegu people would never take a step forward until the news of the end of the war came, otherwise, they would become fierce ghosts.
Changling pondered for a long time and called for Xiao Hua and Chen Fangli.
Chen Fangli said: There is a legend among the Shegu people that if the soul cannot be reincarnated after death, it will become a ghost. The ghosts will be burned by the scorching sun every day and suffer terribly. At night, they will be corroded by the moonlight... The Shegu people swear by their souls that they will not be reincarnated.
Dare to break your promise.
Changling said: The troops from the north to defend against the Shegu people's surprise attack mobilized 30,000 troops to Ningxing, and Ningxing dispatched 50,000 troops to set out tomorrow to reinforce King Lianjiang!
Good! Chen Fangli looked excited. The arrival of 50,000 troops will definitely destroy the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army. A great victory can be expected!
I will go there!
Changling turned his back and said.
Xiao Hua lowered his head, so... great kindness!
For Daliao, Changling chose to go to the battlefield to face his former lover.
Xiao Hua and Chen Fangli resigned.
The messenger immediately rushed to Jiangzhou.
In the long night, Changling waited for the result of the interrogation.
Until dawn.
Princess, those people are tough, but they still can't pry her away.
The chamberlain came to plead guilty.
I just want a confession!
That night, Changling's mind was filled with the image of his father.
My father died of lead poisoning rather than being defeated and angry.
That person!
Must die!
Zhan Juan, come in. Princess, they are waiting for you.
Changling, get up and put on your armor!
Several palace maids came in with armor and clothes to put on the armor for her.
After putting on the armor, Zhan Juan praised: "You look so heroic."
The eldest princess.
The wet nurse came in with the baby in her arms.
Changling smiled and took the child, Aguang!
Grandma! Ahhhh! The child shouted.
Changling's eyes were gentle, "Auntie went out for a trip, but you were good at home."
She walked out of the hall with her child in her arms. Outside, Xiao Hua and others were waiting.
Set off!
He arrived outside the palace gate as if he was flying.
Brought bad news.
Princess Dachang, Yang Xuan’s army intercepted her halfway
The army led by King Lian Jiang.
Xiao Hua hissed: The so-called Chang'an army is a trap!
Chen Fangli's face was ashen, this was Yang Xuan's bait to lure King Lian Jiang to pursue him! What a good way! What a good way!
We were fooled!
The officials who saw him off had all kinds of faces, and there were not many who were angry or angry.
As expected, he was still the famous commander of the Tang Dynasty, with a grand plan and deceiving everyone in the world... Changling took a deep breath and said: Just in time, I will lead the army to meet King Lian Jiang.
…
Eagle Guard.
He Lianhong was drinking tea and not reading the paperwork.
Wan Lingxiao hurried in, and the commander, the eldest princess, Xiao Hua, and Chen Fangli set off with an army of 50,000.
He Lianhong raised his head, are you sure?
Wan Lingxiao nodded and reported from Jiangzhou that Chang'an's troops were sent out as a scam created by Yang Xuan. The purpose was to lure King Lian Jiang to attack. After King Lian Jiang's army attacked, it was intercepted by Yang Xuan midway, and the two sides were fighting.
good!
He Lianhong stood up suddenly and told our people to prepare and take action after nightfall!
