You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Yuan Che looked at the imperial edict of recall in his hand.

He sneered repeatedly: "Did you deal with it cleanly?"

The secret guard nodded and said, "Don't worry, General. The place they agreed on is very remote and will definitely be hidden from everyone.

The two men who delivered the imperial edict were probably the Wu Mansion's secret guards. Their skills were only slightly inferior to ours, and because they were caught off guard, they were easily captured by ours."

"That's good. In times of war, who knows what might happen? Two people missing is normal. I doubt they'll be able to find out what happened."

The evening of the second day after the rain stopped.

Yuan Che looked at the sun-baked ground and said to Wu Da cheerfully, "Pass the order down and have all the soldiers get ready. We will launch a full-scale attack tomorrow morning."

Wu Da frowned slightly.

Now, there is no more room for delay and no reason to delay, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

He excused himself to go and prepare, and left the commander-in-chief's tent.

Looking at his absent-minded back, Yuan Che was in a good mood.

Humph, if I ask you to act like a grandson and want to gain military merit, it depends on the situation.

If you are a little more humble, serve as my advisor, and help me make plans together, I will give you military merit if you want it.

You don't have the ability, but you insist on taking on the job of military advisor, forcing the military advisor to retire and return home.

Now that the war is imminent, I don't even have anyone to give me advice. Isn't this pushing me and hundreds of thousands of soldiers into the fire pit?

The emperor ordered you to return to the capital and join the Hanlin Academy. The emperor is becoming more and more confused, and he even ordered the military advisor back before the battle.

Thinking of the imperial edict that he had burned, Yuan Che became more and more angry. He was so angry that he burst into laughter.

"Now that there is no imperial edict, no matter whether you have any real ability or not, you must follow me to the battlefield. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Let me see what you can do?!"

The mood here is relaxed.

On the other side, Wu Da returned to the military tent and ran around the tent in a panic.

What to do? What to do now?

I will be going to the battlefield tomorrow. If it's just ordinary soldiers, it would be fine. But if I meet the group of people that Jiang Hai mentioned, how should I deal with it?

He felt like he was crying out to heaven and earth for help but no one was responding.

Is it possible that I will die on the battlefield? No, I have to find a way to protect myself.

Yes, find a way.

He poured all the bottles and jars he brought with him onto the bed, and then sorted out the poisons he got from Qianji Pavilion and the poisons he made himself.

After the division, I started to worry again.

Most of these poisons are not suitable for use in the wild. Only the poison powder you make yourself can be used, and it can poison some people when spread out.

But the problem is that the poison powder is limited and is of no use in large-scale battles.

It was all my fault for being greedy for fame. When I returned home from Qianji Pavilion, I boasted about myself, saying that my poison could kill thousands of soldiers.

As a result, even his own parents thought he was very capable.

Now, I have shot myself in the foot. Although I regret it, I still have to find a way to save myself.

He put all the poison powder he brought into a cloth bag, weighed the bag, and nodded with slight satisfaction.

He prayed that God would help him tomorrow, and only hoped that the wind would blow towards Dayan. If the poison powder was spread out, the wind might poison more people.

After everything was ready, he took out the herbs for making poison powder and began to work busily.

Dayan Camp.

At nightfall, all the soldiers were ordered to go to bed early.

After inspecting the camp, General Zhu returned to the military tent.

Seeing Rong Chunlin still in his tent, he asked, "General Rong, why haven't you gone to rest yet?"

"Wait for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill and handed it to him.

"Before I set out, the Emperor mobilized doctors from all over the capital to prepare this detoxification pill. Soldiers, please take it. Remember to have all soldiers take it before the battle begins, to prevent that military advisor from resorting to poison."

General Zhu took it and carefully placed it on his waist, then asked, "How long does one pill last?"

"one day."

"What about after that day?"

Rong Chunlin smiled and said, "I only gave him one day to use the poison."

General Zhu immediately understood what he meant and asked, "Have you decided to choose the second strategy?"

"Well, don't worry. Tomorrow morning, as soon as the horn sounds, I will take my men and burn their food supplies and military tents, cutting off their retreat. Then, we will attack them from both sides.

Remember to follow our agreement and deploy the elite troops to the front. This will help reduce casualties to a certain extent."

General Zhu hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "How about we use the first method? With your joining us, it would be good if we could kill more of their people first.

Wait until the emperor and his men arrive, and then we will cut off their retreat to prevent them from launching a desperate counterattack.

That way, you and your brothers will be less at risk."

Rong Chunlin shook his head, "The first way of fighting will leave too many opportunities for that military advisor, and each of us only has one detoxification pill.

If the poison he used is really as powerful as the outside world says, it will cause us endless troubles and the consequences will be unimaginable.

In order to protect ourselves, we must first eliminate that major hidden danger."

There are many examples in history of entire armies being destroyed due to poison.

General Zhu also understands the interests involved.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then you must return safely. Otherwise, how can I explain to the Emperor?"

Rong Chunlin smiled and patted his shoulder. "If we really can't come back, we've fought for Da Yan and died a worthy death. You don't have to explain anything."

"treasure!"

"treasure!"

The two hands clasped together, giving each other strength.

Before daybreak the next day, the soldiers got up, packed up, ate and drank their fill, and each received a detoxification pill.

At the end of the hour of Mao, the sound of enemy attack horns rang out in the camp.

General Zhu walked out of the tent, cursing as he went, "These bastards, just as we expected, chose today to attack."

He had not gone far when several generals came to him and said, "General, we are ready to fight at any time."

"Okay, pass the order down. Before the battle, if you see anyone around me raise a yellow flag, you must take the detoxification pill."

"Yes!"

General Zhu looked towards the military tent where Rong Chunlin and the others lived and asked the guards beside him, "Where are General Rong and the others?"

"Reporting to the General, they left as soon as the horn sounded."

Three quarters of a hour.

When the Dongli people arrived at the front, General Zhu personally led his soldiers to fight.

When Yuan Che saw him, he yelled, "Zhu Zhenguo, are you finally brave enough to go out into the battle today instead of hiding behind?"

Faced with a powerful enemy, General Zhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"You are a defeated general, yet you have the nerve to shout in front of me? If you want to fight, then fight. If not, get out!"

While talking, he glanced at the people from Dongli who participated in the battle. Seeing Wu Da in red clothes following Yuan Che, he gave an order to the guards around him.

The guards raised the yellow flags in their hands, and all the soldiers quickly took out the detoxification pills from their waists and swallowed them.

General Zhu waited for a few moments before raising the sword in his hand and pointing it forward.

"kill!"

Sheng Luo took the lead and attacked the Dongli camp.

Because the two sides were separated by a distance, and Yuan Che and others were standing behind their own army, they could not see clearly what they were doing, so they did not take their actions seriously.

Seeing General Zhu took action without saying anything, he also waved the sword in his hand and said, "Kill!"

Both sides shouted and rushed towards each other...
