Text Chapter 317: Poison
In the Temple of Zetian, Feng Jixing washed and put on the armor of the white-robed imperial forest again. This is the armor that Qin Yin prepared for her. The original six strongmen of the Great Qin Empire enjoyed the privilege of "white-robed imperial forest". The titles are Du Hai, Feng Jixing, Qu Chu, Qin Lei, Lei Hong, and Yao Yuan in sequence. Now, Du Hai is missing, Qu Chu, Qin Lei, and Lei Hong are dead in battle, and Yao Yuan's whereabouts are unknown. Only Feng Jixing, the only surviving white-robed imperial forest, was left.
At the neckline, there are three gold stars inlaid behind Ziyinhua, which is the rank of commanding rank.
Feng Jixing's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt pain like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
Zhang Wei was promoted to be the deputy commander of the imperial army, and Feng Jixing asked Xia Housang to leave from the Longdan camp, so both Zhang Wei and Xia Housang followed Feng Jixing, which seemed to be quite powerful.
...
"Congratulations to Commander Feng." Tang Lan clasped her fists and smiled slightly.
Feng Jixing nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Lan."
But Tang Tian, Tang Lu, Tang Wei and other generals of the Tang family behind Tang Lan showed jealousy on their faces. It seemed that they also understood that Feng Jixing's return was a big challenge to the strength of the Tang Sect in Qihai City. Xing is an old general of Qin Jin, and one of the seven god generals of the empire. It is definitely not a good thing for Feng Jixing to return to Qin Yin and Su Muyun.
Sitting on the throne, Qin Yin said: "Feng Jixing is loyal and unyielding. He was specially promoted to be the general of the town and served as the commander of the imperial army. He ordered you to rebuild the imperial army of Lanyan City. In addition, your first task is to lead an army of fifty thousand to bypass the Find Longlin, go straight to Tianshu Province, and bring Yuchitian's dog's head to meet me, Commander Feng, can you do it."
Feng Jixing clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."
Xiang Yu was once a criminal general under Qin Jin's decree, so he was blocked from being promoted to the military rank, but Feng Jixing was originally one of the commanders of the empire, so it is understandable to promote him to the second rank of the town general.
On the side, Su Muyun smiled slightly and said, "Commander Feng, 50,000 elite soldiers have been prepared for you, you should rest tonight and send troops to Tianshu province tomorrow."
"Yes, Lord Yun."
Feng Jixing was very respectful, and he also knew that the military power of the empire was not in Qin Yin's hands, but in the hands of Su Muyun and Tang Lan, the two princes of the town, so he had to be polite to these two people.
...
It was night, in the Imperial Army camp, Zhang Wei and Xia Housang were preparing their horses, weapons, and armors, each of them was beaming, but Feng Jixing got on his horse with a wine jar in his arms and said, "I'm going out for a walk. Just stand by."
Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Commander, let me take a team of guards with me, the empire is in turmoil, and nowhere is safe now."
Feng Jixing's laughter came from the wind: "Don't worry, who in the current Lanyan City has the ability to kill me."
Zhang Wei was speechless, just like what Feng Jixing said, Xiang Yu has gone on an expedition, and there is no one in Lanyan City who is Feng Jixing's opponent.
The stars were scattered on the ground brilliantly, Feng Jixing rode his horse straight into the imperial tomb, far away, the Zhen Guo Monument was shining brightly under the starlight.
Feng Jixing sat down next to the Zhen Guo Monument, looked up at the names of Lin Muyu, Chu Huaimian, and Qin Lei on the Zhen Guo Monument, took a sip of strong wine, and felt that the strong wine burned his throat, he couldn't help laughing , smiling, tears streaming down his cheeks, quietly leaning on the Zhen Guo Monument, the moonlight fell on his face, Feng Jixing choked up crying and said: "A Yu, you once asked Brother Feng if he was afraid, I Say I'm not afraid... Now I'm afraid, Brother Feng knows how you feel, and the four masters of Lanyan disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving me alone. Chu, Ah Lei, how are you doing in that world?"
The Zhen Guo Monument was completely cold, Feng Jixing raised his head and took another sip of strong wine, sobbing like a child: "It would be great if we could go back to the days when we drank in Tingyu Pavilion..."
He looked up at the distant jungle, with despair in his eyes, and he knew that he would never go back.
After a long time, Feng Jixing stood up, poured the remaining wine in the wine jar under the Zhenguo Monument, and said with determination in his eyes, "Brothers, wait for me, Feng Jixing will rule the empire On that day, I will come to drink with you under the Yellow Spring."
Get on the horse and run away.
The next day, Feng Jixing led an army of 50,000 Mu Yucheng to march eastward, and went straight to Tianshu Province. At this time, Xiang Yu was leading his troops to attack Wugu City. This was another head-on blow to Yihe Kingdom. However, once the protection of Tianshu Province is lost, Wugu City will become an isolated city, losing all reliance and support.
...
Imperial calendar 7731, June 27, ten miles north of Wugu City, Xiang Yu's army camp.
Buckets of blood-red berries were transported into the camp, and there was a strange fragrance from the berries, but all the soldiers in charge of the escort had cold eyes and didn't even look at the berries.
"The general is here." A commander dismounted respectfully and saluted.
Xiang Yu rode his horse and walked among the crowd with a bloodbath gun in hand, and asked, "Everything is ready."
"Yes, General." A soldier in a purple robe clasped his fists and said, "Almost all the blood fruits in Cangnan Province have been picked by us, and we have gathered 182 barrels of berries in total."
"How toxic is it?" Xiang Yu asked.
Joining the army smiled: "A thousand-year-old elephant eats one blood fruit by mistake, and it is enough to kill it. Each of these wooden barrels contains at least hundreds of blood fruits. Two hundred barrels of blood fruit are poisonous."
"Hmph, good..."
Xiang Yu smiled slightly, and said: "Command the three armies, from today onwards, our drinking water can only be taken from Xunlong Forest, and we must never use a little bit of water from the Daojiang River. When it gets dark today, we will immediately drain all the berries They are all dumped into the Daojiang River, the Daojiang River is the life river of the Wugu City, as long as the Daojiang River is poisonous, hum, the Wugu City will be destroyed."
"yes."
On the side, a commander of Qihai City looked shocked and said: "General, these blood fruits... will not only kill the traitors of Yihe Kingdom, but also kill the people of Wugu City. There are many people in Wugu City. 2.4 million people..."
"so what."
Xiang Yu said indifferently: "These people were originally citizens of the empire, but they belonged to the wings of the Yihe Kingdom. There is more than a culprit in their death. I will pass on my general order without error. I, Xiang Yu, will bear the responsibility for any crime."
"yes."
At night, 182 barrels of pain berries flowed down the river and melted into the Daojiang River, which surrounded the Wugu City and provided all the domestic water for the city.
...
The next day, hundreds of thousands of people died suddenly in Wugu City, and there was chaos.
Both sides of the city avenue are full of the wailing voices of poisoned people, which is unbearable to hear.
A row of cavalry walked slowly by. Ding Xi was wearing a general's cloak, holding the hilt of his sword with his hand, scanning his eyes on both sides, and said calmly: "It is confirmed that the water source has been poisoned, isn't it?"
"Yes, General." The guard on the side nodded and said, "The entire Daojiang River has been poisoned, and all the dead fish on the river surface have floated up, stretching as far as the eye can see."
"brute……"
Ding Xi clenched his fists tightly, and said: "The order will be passed down, no more drinking water from the Daojiang River, and all underground water sources will be dug to drink."
"But General, the Daojiang River is deep, and the poison must have entered the groundwater. Even if we drink well water, we will still be in danger of being poisoned."
"this……"
Ding Xi frowned, and said, "Maybe we should consider withdrawing our troops, and follow me to see Da Dutong immediately."
"yes."
The Governor's Mansion of Wugu City has now become Qin Yi's capital mansion. Ding Xi stepped in with his sword in hand. When he entered the hall, he saw Ji Yao and Lu Zhao from a distance, while Qin Yi closed his eyes and leaned on the chair. Looking up, his face was full of tiredness. It seemed that after the Northern Expedition, almost half of the empire was wiped out, but Qin Yi did not enjoy the pleasure of becoming a king.
"Is it General Ding Xi?" Qin Yi asked lightly.
"It's the last general." Ding Xi clasped his fists and said, "Da Dutong, Xiang Yu poisoned the Daojiang River, and the blood fruit was extremely poisonous. Hundreds of thousands of people have died today. The last general suggests that you abandon the five grains immediately." City, lead the army out of the city, and bring the people of Wugu City south to Bailing City, as long as we reach Bailing City, we will be safe."
Lu Zhao's face turned cold, and he said, "Ding Xi, are you trying to persuade Dadu to give up the eight northern provinces of Yihe Kingdom?"
"The final general dare not."
Qin Yi slowly opened his eyes, and said: "The order continues, everyone will start to drink the well water, not the Daojiang water, and persist for another three days. If Xiang Yu still poisons, then withdraw the army."
"yes."
"Also, what about Long Qianlin."
"Hmph." Lu Zhao said with a look of disdain: "That cowardly boy led his troops to the Jiange a long time ago, and he didn't even dare to step into the territory of Wugu City. He has been frightened by the imperial eagles and dogs."
Qin Yi said lightly: "Long Qianlin is not that kind of person, well, you all go down, and prepare to withdraw the army."
"yes."
...
In the next few days, a large number of residents in Wugu City died.
On July 4th, Wugu City was broken. When Xiang Yu and other imperial troops entered Wugu City, they found that it was already a dead city. The population of 2.4 million in the city was excluding the hundreds of thousands who fled the city. All 1.8 million people were killed by poison, and the army of Yihe Kingdom who had no time to retreat was overshadowed by Xiang Yu's army, killing 30,000 people and capturing 40,000 people.
On July 7, Xiang Yu led an army of 30,000 to chase and kill Qin Yi, but was attacked by an ambush at Long Qianlin Jiange, losing more than 10,000 people, and then decided to withdraw his troops.
In 7731 of the Imperial Calendar, on July 15th, Feng Jixing defeated the Tianshu Legion, captured 40,000 people, captured Yuchitian, Yuchiyan and his son, and recovered Shenying City and Tianshu Province.
So far, the Dixing Province, Cangnan Province, and Tianshu Province adjacent to Lanyan City have all been recovered and included in the empire's territory.
Except for a small number of troops remaining in Tongtian Province and Lingdong Province, the Yihe Kingdom withdrew all of them to the south of Lingnan. The empire has now been divided into two, presenting a pattern of dividing the north and the south.
In 7731 of the Imperial Calendar, on September 21, Qin Yin was crowned emperor, titled "Female Emperor", and the title of the country was still Qin.
