Chapter 1841 Sword Pointing at Japan (Eight) Art Has Two Sides
For Bozhou, the victory of the Ming army at Loushanguan was naturally the defeat of Loushanguan. When the news spread, the provinces were naturally excited, but the people in Bozhou who were rebellious were panicked.

Yang Yinglong was in a state of desperation, he was busy arranging the defense in the south of Loushan Pass, and at the same time he was busy appeasing the people and intimidating all the seedlings, not only did he lose weight, but he also lost his spirit a lot.

On this day, brothers Tian Yipeng and Tian Feipeng asked to see Yang Yinglong. Yinglong invited him in and asked him what he was doing.

Yang Yinglong always looked down on the Tian brothers, so he chuckled a few times, but he still asked his brother what plan he had to defeat the enemy, Tian Yipeng said: "My brother is in charge of all Miao affairs, and I know a lot about Miao Jiang's secret arts. This Miao Jiang's witchcraft For the Han people, the method is extremely secretive, unimaginable, and varied, each with its own miraculous effect. It can be said that killing people is invisible. Many of them will not die or be disabled even if they are slightly infected. The situation is critical now, and the officers and soldiers are close at hand. It is precisely this method. When it comes in handy."

The Yang family has been the chieftain of Bozhou for 700 years, so of course they have a deep understanding of the art of Gu poison, Yang Yinglong shook his head and said: "Although the art of Gu poison is quite effective for individuals, it is very difficult to raise Gu, and it is even more difficult to grow Gu. Even masters of Gu arts usually only carry enough Gu poison to kill or injure more than ten people. Even if I search all Bozhou to use Gu masters, I'm afraid they can only take the lives of more than a thousand officers and soldiers. What's the benefit of this move?"

Tian Feipeng replied: "Although the art of Gu poison comes from the same source, the skills of Miao, Yao, Tong and other ethnic groups are often different, and there are also methods that can make more people suffer from Gu.

For example, in Bozhou, there are still more than a hundred people who study Gu poison intensively. The Gu poison developed by them includes snake Gu, epilepsy Gu, chicken Gu, lice Gu, water Gu, etc. Most of them are Gu poison practiced by poisonous insects. Most of them can kill many people with a small amount of Gu poison, which is enough to make the officers and soldiers feel miserable after being poisoned, and they will definitely die within seven days. "

Yang Yinglong thought for a while, and then asked: "But there are more than [-] officers and troops approaching me. Only by relying on these Gu poisons, can we defeat the enemy? Also, how to plant Gu?" As for poisoning, Yang Yinglong meant how to poison.

Tian Yipeng said: "From the current point of view, the officers and soldiers will attack the lands of Dragon Claw and Haiyun, although they are considered dangerous, but there are not enough troops, and they are afraid of the might of the officers and soldiers, so they will not last for a day.

Therefore, before my two brothers had time to ask for instructions, they had already dispersed several types of Gu poison between the two places, dispatched able-bodied people disguised as guides, vegetable vendors, etc. to infiltrate the army barracks, and secretly poured Gu poison into their food reserves. It must be unnoticed.

Once the officers and soldiers are poisoned by the poison one after another, they will be tortured and die miserably. Fear spread, and he dared not move forward, not even eat or drink.

In this way, the officers and soldiers will naturally be distracted, their combat power will be weakened, and they will eventually be unable to fight. But we can wait for the opportunity, and when it is about to collapse, we will be able to wipe it out in one go, and then regain the entire territory of Bozhou. "

Yang Yinglong laughed loudly after hearing this, put away his previous contempt, and praised the Tian brothers endlessly: "Since this is the case, I don't have to worry about it. Tian's ability to predict the enemy before the opportunity, and come up with this unique strategy, will definitely teach that official The army came and went, and made great contributions to protecting the safety of Bozhou.

Of course, now that the army is still there, don't be careless, and you need to check it all the time. The day when the army is defeated, it will be the time when the Tian family will be rewarded! "The Tian brothers were overjoyed, thanked and resigned.

After Tian's departure, Yang Yinglong was secretly worried, although Yang's had his own set of anti-gu secret techniques like the chieftains in the Southwest, he was not worried that Tian's could assassinate Yang's clan.

However, just as Yang Yinglong himself said just now, although there are many miraculous Gu poisons in the world, there are very few who can harm many people at once. If Tian really mastered the Gu poison that can kill tens of thousands of soldiers at once, how could it be Didn't it mean that the lord of Bozhou changed his name and surname just overnight?Yang Yinglong's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he secretly made up his mind to wait for an opportunity to eradicate Tian's lineage in order to prevent future troubles.

A few days later, the Ming army marched to the land of Dragon Claw and Sea Cloud, fought fiercely for a day, and conquered these two dangerous places one after another. They were busy exploring the terrain and testing the enemy's situation, but they received reports of sudden discomfort and colic pain in the soldiers. Report.

Due to the sudden occurrence of the incident and the increasing number of patients, the Ming army had to suspend the marching plan and ordered military doctors to check, but it was difficult to diagnose for a while after the check.In the next two days, soldiers from each battalion suddenly became abnormal one after another, and soon reached nearly a thousand people.

Among these people, there are many kinds of abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea, red face, loss of appetite, erratic laughing and scolding, crazy behavior, unbearable itching all over the body, and insects biting the body, etc., all kinds of strange symptoms emerge one after another.

Afterwards, the military doctors of various armies jointly judged that these abnormalities in the Ming army were all caused by the poison of Gu, and the place of the poison was either in the diet or in the mountains.The legend of the Gu poison spread widely. When they heard that they had been poisoned by the Gu poison, the soldiers of the Ming army were frightened, and there was no way to break it, and the people in the military camp were panicked.

Only the next day, a batch of Ming soldiers were tortured to death, and the death conditions were all strange and horrible.There were even some people who committed suicide in each battalion of the Ming army. There was a desire to return home in the army. Rumors spread everywhere. increase.

Officials from all walks of life will gather in the camp for many days to discuss, but there is no countermeasure yet.Ma Kongying said: "I saw that after the snake poisoned the person, there was a swelling about two or three inches long in the body, which could jump, run and bite in the human body, and it was extremely terrifying. It is said that after nightfall, it can attract snakes from outside. With a pincer attack, life is worse than death, and there is no cure."

Wu Guang said: "Not only the snake Gu, but also the people affected by the lice Gu, all of them are very itchy all over, scratching will cause blisters, the lice in the blisters are in groups, it is disgusting, if scratched, the poisonous blood and black stains inside The flow is endless.”

Ma Qiancheng, chieftain of Shizhu, said: "This is Miaojiang witchcraft, and it's actually not the most dangerous type. In the early stage, most of them have chest and abdomen cramps, and there are foreign bodies in their bodies. It only occurs after a few days. If it is not cured, it will eventually bleed to death from the seven holes. , but if one can get rid of the Gu, most of them will not have any sequelae, and it will disappear immediately, it is the Gu of life and death of those who cannot be solved or once the Gu is solved, it will harm the seeds of the Gu."

Dong Yiyuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, Ma Xuanwei, are you consoling or intimidating! Now the army is in a panic and there is no cure, and it seems that they will collapse without fighting. This Yang Yinglong is really cunning and cruel, and he can use such a poisonous plan. Assassinate our army.

What's more troublesome now is that there are still many poisonous Gu hidden in the mountains and fields, the whole army can't eat and sleep, it's probably all in Yang Yinglong's expectation, at this time he should be gathering troops to wipe me out in one fell swoop.

I think it is now a time of life and death, and I even heard that there are Zhumiao activities in the middle of Sichuan. Have you ever heard of the method of removing Gu poison?How about asking Song Zhijun and Guo Fujun to send someone to look for it immediately?If the treatment is timely, our army can still fight. "

Liu Ting thinks it's not feasible: "I know that a Gu master is a girl from Yao people named 'Ali'. She and Nanning Hou are old acquaintances, and she once gave magic medicine to Lord Hou. Master Hou is absolutely invincible, if she is there, these mere poisons are not worth mentioning.

It's just now... these years have passed, Miss Ali has become the grass ghost old woman of the Yao people, I don't know where she lives, maybe even the Marquis may not know, only Annan Huang Dutong is her close friend, you should know her whereabouts .

But Huang Dutong is far away in Dingnan City, Siam. Even if the letter is sent by pigeon, it will take several days. In addition, it is impossible for her to contact Miss Ali by letter.In this way, it is necessary to wait for a cure. I am afraid that the entire army has already died of poisoning, or was killed by the rebels... In short, the long-distance water cannot quench the near-thirst. "

Ma Qiancheng was horrified when he heard these words, and asked: "The girl Ali that Liu Zongrong mentioned is the senior who succeeded the grass ghost grandma the year before last and has the pupil of cinnabar?"

Liu Ting was surprised and said, "Why do you call her senior? If I'm not mistaken, she should be from Yao."

But before it was Ma Qiancheng's turn to explain, Deng Zilong interrupted: "Let's not talk about this, since it is difficult to get medicine in the short term, we will die if we continue to stay here. It is meaningless to continue to stay here, let alone Therefore, let the soldiers die in vain.

In my opinion, only by temporarily withdrawing from Bozhou and returning to Sichuan can we avoid being besieged by the enemy after losing combat effectiveness, and we can also try to find this girl Ali for medicine.In my opinion, right now, we should immediately report to the Zhijun, asking them to find a way to undo the Gu, and at the same time allow us to withdraw our troops and return to Sichuan for resettlement. "

Marin is from the north, and he doesn't know much about Gu poison, so he is very opposed to the withdrawal of troops, but in the current situation, he has nothing to do, so he said: "If we withdraw from Banzhou, all the hard work of our soldiers and horses so far It will all be in vain, Yang Yinglong has won a big victory, and his power has doubled, and the imperial court does not know when to mobilize the army again, and it may be extremely difficult to attack Bozhou again.

At the same time, the Banzhou Army can attack from all directions, expanding its territory and no one can beat it.But according to the current situation, we seem to have the only option to withdraw our troops.I... agree with Deng Zongrong's opinion, it is better to ask the Zhijun for instructions to withdraw troops first. "

When everyone felt that they had no choice but to withdraw their troops, Ma Qiancheng's wife, Qin Liangyu, suddenly broke into the tent, claiming that there was a cure for the poison.The generals enjoyed hearing this, and even though they didn't know whether it was true or not, they urgently ordered him to speak.

Qin Liangyu said: "Miao Gu is passed on from female to male, so even though my husband is a chieftain, he doesn't know it very well. Although the general has never studied Gu art intensively, he knows how to cure some common Gu poisons.

The Gu that is raging so many people like today is often not unsolvable, but it is just an ordinary Gu poison.At the end of the past two days, I have carefully checked the condition of the person affected by Gu. Most of them can be brewed and swallowed with realgar, garlic, and calamus as medicine, which can make the person infected by Gu vent the viciousness and expel the Gu from the body.But remember, not only the stench is suffocating, but also the excrement must be properly buried, and it must not be left alone.

However, there are also some unusual Gu in the army, so the accompanying military doctor is helpless, but for different Gu poisons, it can only be cured by using the method of all things to counteract or special drugs to detoxify.

But don't worry, generals, I have brought Miao Lao from my clan, he is a doctor of Gu poison in our clan, he has made his own prescriptions of Qiandu powder and exorcism, which are incomparably effective, and will surely turn the whole army into chaos install. "The generals were overjoyed and hurriedly invited the Miao doctor in. It turned out to be an old woman. It seems that it is indeed common for Miao Gu to pass on females but not males, which is different from other races.

Afterwards, Dr. Miao took the lead to check and remove the remaining Gu poison in the grain water in the general army and the water sources and grasslands around the camp, and then treated the poisoned soldiers one by one, and the morale of the army gradually recovered.

The Miao doctor also taught the generals the method of preventing Gu: "Gu poison is generally divided into two types: man-made Gu and natural Gu. Human-made Gu is made by Gu masters refining poisons. Most of them are colorless and tasteless. They are often used in secret. If people eat or touch it by mistake, they will be tortured by Gu poison.

Natural Gu is often produced by bats, turtledoves, crows, eels and other animals, and it is left in ponds and ditches. People and animals can easily swallow it and cause disease if they don't notice it.

From now on, the place where the army rations and drinking water are located must be strictly guarded, and strangers within one mile should not come near.The raw water in the mountains is especially undrinkable because it is easy to plant Gu upstream.

In addition, chew the garlic into a paste, give each person a little, take it once a day, and observe the tongue coating, white of the eyes, etc. after taking it, you can test whether you are infected or not.The last thing is to pack the loose powder from my exorcism into a small bag and tie it on the calf. The medicine contains the method of restraining, and its fragrance and smell can attract the vigilance of the Gu insects, so it has the effect of expelling the Gu insects so that they do not dare to approach. "

After she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Liu Ting, and said with a smile: "Although it can't compare to the Chixia insect-repelling soup that the Marquis of Nanning drank at the Grass Ghost Granny's place, it is enough to deal with these ordinary Gu."

She used medicine to cure Gu in the army. Naturally, everyone would not doubt it, and they were all in admiration. At the same time, they were also curious about how mysterious the bowl of soup Gao Yushi drank back then.

Ma Qiancheng was also amazed that his wife Qin Liangyu's clan had such an expert. Qin Liangyu laughed and said that the method of Gu poison is not kingly, and this senior in the clan has only studied Gu poisoning all his life, which is different from that "Senior Ah Li" very similar.

In fact, it is true that Ah Li was also very powerful in Gu poison back then, but she herself said that she was better at healing.It can be seen that Gu art is originally a benevolent art, but for various reasons, its poisonous method has been widely abused, and its medical use has not been well-known, which is really embarrassing.

Because of this master Miao doctor, the Gu soldiers in the Ming army will gradually improve, so Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu specially arrange an army to protect him.Song Liangzuo, who had received the news, also sent someone to check on the recovery of the soldiers, and asked the generals to report the time for entering the army. The generals of the Ming army discussed together and decided to rest for a whole day before entering the army.

The Bozhou army found out that the poisoned soldiers in the Ming army camp recovered and recovered one after another. They were shocked and did not dare to act rashly, but urgently reported to Yang Yinglong.

Yang Yinglong was extremely disappointed when he found out about it, and said, "The main force of the army is coming, and it may be difficult to resist. As long as Loushan Pass cannot be recaptured, the main force of Bozhou will not be able to move to other places. Now the morale of the army has been greatly boosted, and the Miao soldiers from all walks of life are fighting against each other. In the defeat, the only solution now is to shrink our troops and follow the example of our ancestors and retreat to Longyan Tun to wait for a good opportunity." Everyone was silent.

So Yang Yinglong ordered the whole government to pack up and prepare to retreat to Longyan, and ordered the Miao soldiers on the front line to guard the gate to delay the march of the officers and troops.
