Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 452

The first fifty-four chapters happy robbery
Li Xiuning asked in surprise: "It's so powerful?"

"However, this poisonous fumigation battle is not so miraculous. Instead, it is subject to severe weather and geographical constraints." Chen Ying shook his head and said, "The fumigation method cannot be used alone. It must be combined with the weather, environment, and wind direction. The size of the wind is coordinated with each other, and the direction of the wind must naturally make the city to be smoked downwind. In fact, the wind should not be too strong. It can't be too small. If it is too small, it will not float on the enemy's city wall. Hangu Pass is located at the crossing of Hangu Pass. Except for the deep winter season, it usually blows southeast and south. Hangu Pass is in the upper wind. However, Hangu Pass At the entrance of the valley road, there are thick mulberry plateaus in the north and south, even if there is a small wind, when it passes through the Hangu road, it will form a strong wind."

Chen Ying actually chose the best timing when launching the smoky Hangu Pass. He chose the northwest wind, when there is almost no third-level wind. Such weather is very rare in winter, but in early spring, In fact, it is relatively rare.However, Chen Ying was lucky. When the northwest wind was at its weakest, the northwest wind formed air convection in Hangu Road and directly impacted Hangu Pass City.

Li Xiuning frowned, and said thoughtfully: "That is to say, once the wind is strong and in the right direction, you can attack all the cities with poisonous smoke? Does that mean that no city can be defended no matter how strong it is?"

Chen Yingwen laughed loudly and said: "It's not so powerful. It's actually very simple to defeat this move. If there are enough troops in the city, the best way is to preemptively send troops out of the city. Destroy the pyre they piled up first. Otherwise, they will be very passive when they wait for the opponent to attack."

Li Xiuning was like a curious baby at this time, and continued to ask: "What if the defenders in the city are not strong enough to fight back out of the city? What's more, the enemy can also take advantage of the defenders in the city's eagerness to destroy the poisonous smoke, and set up an ambush outside the city." , Annihilate the enemy's vital force?"

Li Xiuning really has a very high talent in the art of war. In fact, when Chen Ying was in Hangu Pass, he used this method.If Wang Renze dared to send troops out of the city, he would have died even worse. Chen Ying gathered eighteen regiments of the Yue Cavalry Army, nine regiments of the Modao Army, and more than fifty regiments of archers outside the city. No matter how many troops Wang Renze will send out in the end, Chen Ying is absolutely sure to eat up the troops Wang Renze sends out of the city.

However, at the time, I didn't know whether Wang Ren didn't think of this, or because he saw Chen Ying's intentions and didn't send troops out of the city, so Chen Ying's ambush plan was ultimately aborted.

"This sentence is right to the point, and the question is on point!" Chen Ying said with a leisurely smile: "The poisonous smoke at this time is actually not very toxic, and it is easy to prevent."

As he spoke, Chen Ying took out a gourd that had been sawed off in half from the box under the bed in the camp.In order to prevent the face from being scratched, the edge of the gourd that was sawn off was wrapped with sackcloth.Five holes the size of copper coins were cut out of the bottom of the gourd, and all of them were covered with a layer of black and white cloth bags.

Li Xiuning held the gourd, and the look of doubt on his face became more intense: "This broken gourd can prevent poisonous smoke?"

"Don't underestimate it, the anti-virus effect is really good!" Chen Ying said triumphantly: "Have you seen this cloth bag? It's filled with activated carbon."

Due to the strong adsorption of activated carbon, it can be used as a filter for anti-toxic gas.These knowledge involved chemical knowledge, and Chen Ying really couldn't explain it to Li Xiuning for a while.

In fact, at the beginning, Chen Ying thought that the poisonous smoke from chamaejasma chamaejasma, arsenic, and asphalt was not powerful, so he directly made masks with five layers of activated carbon and distributed them to the soldiers under Duan Zhigan's command. The effect of the mask was not good. Because many soldiers felt stuffy wearing masks and did not cover their noses, many soldiers had already been recruited, and there were adverse reactions such as coughing and runny nose afterwards.

However, Chen Ying immediately proposed an improvement.After all, wolfbane, arsenic, and asphalt are too common, and there is no guarantee that one day someone will use his own way to treat him. In order to be prepared, Chen Ying ordered people to make a batch of pig's mouth type (This is not old Cheng’s nonsense. If you want to make one for fun, it is very simple. Take a two-liter Coke bottle, cut off half of it, and leave the curvature of the human face. It’s ok. A certain treasure sells it.)
Chen Ying took the pig's mouth gas mask, put it on Li Xiuning, and then gently tied the rope behind her head. Seeing Li Xiuning wearing the gas mask, Chen Ying couldn't help laughing.

However, Li Xiuning did not smile.

Li Xiuning has not forgotten her mission, she loves Chen Ying, but she is also the princess of Datang.Li Yuan was worried that Chen Ying's invincible sharp weapon was actually what she saw the most.In fact, Chen Ying's performance made Li Xiuning very satisfied. Not only did he not have any excuses, but he also had no dissatisfaction. He not only told her exactly how to attack with poison and smoke, but also told her the preventive measures. she.

Chen Ying asked someone to find a bronze mirror, put it in front of Li Xiuning, and let Li Xiuning look at herself in the bronze mirror.

Li Xiuning was wearing a gas mask and couldn't speak at all. Seeing the anxious look in Li Xiuning's brows and eyes, Chen Ying hurriedly untied the rope behind Li Xiuning's head.

Li Xiuning gasped and said, "It's very uncomfortable, a little stuffy!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "There is no way, I have ordered the craftsmen to improve and strive to create a better gas mask."

When Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were testing the effect of gas masks in Beiman Daying, Zheng Anxin, Wang Wei and other Xin'an gentry who were anxiously waiting outside the camp were about to cry.

In fact, not only the gentry in Xin'an County were robbed, but even a farm of the Hongnong Yang family in Taolin was also robbed. There are about six or seven hundred guan of money and thousands of shi of grain.

These black-clothed thieves became more and more arrogant, and actually ransacked Shengchi in broad daylight. At this time, seven or eight county magistrates and hundreds of gentry gathered outside the Beiman camp, waiting for Chen Ying to give them justice.

As a matter of fact, none of the hundreds of people present thought that these men in black were actually led by Chen Ying, and they found their master and sued their accomplices, but they could only hehe.

Until the evening, Li Xiuning tested all the samples of wolf's poison smoke ball, the detailed production method, and the gas mask. It was not until Li Xiuning personally tested the effect of the gas mask that He Yue'er brought the sample of wolf's poison smoke ball, detailed The production method and the gas mask returned to Chang'an and returned to Li Yuan.

After finishing all this, when Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were preparing dinner, Zhou Qing reported to Chen Ying: "Xin'an ordered Wang Wei, Zheng Anchun, the director of foreign affairs of Zheng's other courtyard, and others to see me!"

Of course, Chen Ying knew the purpose of these people asking to see him, but Li Xiuning was present, and Chen Ying pretended not to understand, so he said: "Can you still let people have a meal in peace? Why do you want to see this general if you have nothing to do? Local matters, let me They stick to the rules and don't need to ask for instructions at all, just do whatever they want!"

But Li Xiuning said: "Government affairs are important, I'll wait for these officials to come, or let them come in together and see what they have to do!"

Chen Ying was secretly happy. With Li Xiuning as a witness here, wouldn't it be better for him to clear up his suspicions?However, Chen Ying winked and Zhou Qing understood.

Chen Ying pretended to be reluctant and said: "Let them wait for a while, wait until the general has finished eating!"

After Chen Ying and Li Xiuning finished their meal in a hurry, the crowd that Chen Ying finally summoned poured into the big tent at once. They all knelt on the ground, howling and crying, as if they had been wheeled by dozens of big men. Same.

After a long time, everyone found that Chen Ying didn't respond at all, and was completely winking at the blind man.

Zheng Anchun was not as ignorant as other officials or gentry, he found a woman disguised as a man standing openly in Chen Ying's account, and seeing Chen Ying let her stand at the bottom left, it was obvious that her status was different.His mind suddenly thought of the identity of this woman.

"Grassman Zheng Anchun pays homage to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!"

The officials were originally angry at Chen Ying's refusal to meet them.They naturally thought that Chen Ying was putting on airs, but after hearing what Zheng Anchun said, they quickly understood what was going on.The anger in their hearts also went smoothly.After all, no matter how important they are, they are not as important as Princess Pingyang from Chang'an.

"Your Majesty (we) pay homage to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang!"

Everyone kowtowed again.

Chen Ying waved his hands and said: "Excuse me, everyone, it's time for war, so don't gossip, talk quickly if you have anything to say, my general is busy with military affairs!"

Zheng Anchun's face was like the sky in June, it changed as soon as it said, and immediately burst into tears and snot, and said in a crying voice: "Please Chen Anfu be the master of the grassroots!"

"Please Anfu Chen to be the master for us!"

Chen Ying was so quarreled by the crowd, he pointed at Wang Wei in a cold voice and shouted: "Mr. Wang, you speak first!"

Wang Wei said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I ask Chen Anfu to dispatch troops to wipe out the black thieves!"

"The thief in black? What the hell is that?" Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Is there such a force near us?"

Zhou Qing shook his head again and again and said, "I don't know how humble I am!"

Zheng Anchun went on to say: "The gang of thieves in black are so ruthless. They ransacked Zheng's Xin'an Courtyard in Xingyang the night before, and took away more than 12 taels of gold, more than [-] taels of silver, more than [-] guan of copper coins, and more than [-] grains. Shi... still has a lot of money, Zheng's Xin'an Bieyuan lost more than [-] guan!"

When Chen Ying heard this, he really wanted to yell at Zheng Anchun: "You fucking fart!"

Chen Ying naturally knew how much property he had snatched from Zheng's Xin'an Bieyuan. He snatched a total of 320 ingots of gold, of which about 150 were ten taels, about 130 were five taels, and there were 50 taels a total of four. Ten pieces, a full play is only 150 taels of gold, but in Zheng Anchun's mouth, it turned out to be 6000 taels of gold, an increase of nearly 2000 taels, which is equivalent to [-] taels of gold.

As for all the property plus [-] guan, it will definitely not exceed [-] guan.

Chen Ying immediately thought of a joke about later generations.The robbers robbed the bank. After returning, one of the new robbers said, "Boss, let's quickly count how much we have robbed."The old robber said: "Are you stupid? There are so many, how long are you going to count? Don't you know by watching the news tonight?" After the robber left, the president said, report the crime immediately!Just as the director was about to leave, the president hurriedly said, "Wait! Add the 500 million that we embezzled last time!" The director said, "It would be great if the robbers came to snatch it once a month."

The next day, the news broadcast reported that the bank was robbed of 2000 million yuan, but the robbers counted and counted only [-] million.

The boss scolded: "Damn it, I took my life to grab 2000 million, and the president of the bank earned 8000 million with just a flick of a finger. It seems that I still have to study these days!"

Chen Ying didn't expect to rob Zheng's Xin'an Bieyuan this time, but instead helped Zheng Anchun fill in the hole of his corruption.

Not surprisingly, Chen Ying found that the amounts reported by all the informants were far greater than the actual amount they robbed.Chen Ying is very speechless about this phenomenon. Corruption does not only exist in the country. In fact, there are moths and rats in any family.

Chen Ying had nothing to say, but Li Xiuning was very surprised: "It's really lawless, robbing openly, and ignoring the law of the king. Such gangsters must be severely punished after they are caught."

Chen Ying gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, we must be severely punished. As long as this general catches these bandits, he must torture them severely and spit out all the property they robbed!"

At this moment, a personal guard came in and reported: "Report to the general, the scouts discovered that there were unknown armed men gathered in Longtan Valley!"

"Haha!" Chen Ying laughed loudly and said, "It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort to get here. Come, the guards will gather, and set off in half an hour to surround Longtan Valley. Help Shuoshu catch all of them!"

Naturally, there are no black-clothed people in Longtan Valley, but there are a group of bandits who occupy the mountain as king, and there are also some belongings hidden by Chen Ying, but these belongings are only a very small part, and they cannot be sold. The Duan inkstone collected in the other courtyard and the hollowed-out screen carved from sandalwood, although these things are valuable, the key is to see the light.

Chen Ying originally planned to frame these bandits, so he learned about it by the way.After all, in just two days, Chen Ying had snatched nearly tens of thousands of property, which was enough to resettle the refugees.

It's just that Chen Ying never expected that before he sent troops here, the scouts of the Tanlonggu bandits who were monitoring over there would actually catch more than a dozen waves of messengers who came to deliver letters secretly. What made Chen Ying dumbfounded was that these messengers actually had Zheng Anchun or other officials from the foreign government secretly sent out to remind these bandits that Chen Ying was going to send troops to deal with them.

Luo Shixin looked at these messengers and secret letters, and asked very puzzled: "Are they stupid? Why did you notify these bandits?"

Chen Yingdao: "They are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart...the so-called human nature, haha!" Chen Ying couldn't help laughing.

Naturally, Chen Ying was unwilling to take the blame. In order to show that he did not fill his own pockets, Chen Ying invited all the robbed gentry and Zheng Anchun to watch the bandit suppression together.

Under the attack of Chen Yingqin's guards, the bandits gathered in Tanlong Valley were all captured after less than a quarter of an hour's resistance, but the property seized in Tanlong Valley was far from the count, it was a bad debt.

However, this was no longer Chen Ying's concern.With this money, he can start his collective farm project.
