Chapter 336 This plan is very clever
Seven days later, Liu Renyi and Yuan Huyi were still in a stalemate.
The imperial edict announcing officers from the Qingluo court had already rushed to Xicheng at full speed, and with them came the military supervisors sent by the court.
They want to declare war on Yansha Kingdom and drive it out of Qingluo Kingdom's waters.
Moreover, they finally decided to appoint Liu Renyi as the commander-in-chief of this battle.
When Liu Renyi saw the eunuch from the imperial city, holding a brocade box in the color of the Ming emperor and accompanied by a group of men dressed as military generals, his heart rose to his throat.
By the time the official finished reading the imperial edict, his heart sank.
He had put so much thought into keeping the envoys from Yansha Kingdom who were about to go to the capital in Xicheng, but he had not expected that the court would act so quickly.
What went wrong?
Obviously, Xicheng is in his hands, and the Xicheng government will not interfere in his affairs.
How did the imperial court know about what happened in Xicheng?
These questions were destined to remain unanswered.
As a military general of the imperial court, he had family and relatives in the capital, so he had to accept the imperial edict even if he didn't want to.
Although he accepted the imperial edict, he still did not want to go to war with the Yansha Kingdom, so he began to lobby the military supervisors sent by the court.
But what he didn't know was that the real supervisor sent by Qingluo Kingdom had long been replaced by Chu Chengyi and Chu Qinshu.
Chu Chengyi's goal is to start a war between Qingluo Kingdom and Yansha Kingdom. This military supervisor will certainly not listen to Liu Renyi's lobbying.
Instead, he pretended to deal with him, and after a few days of delay, the secret letter of complaint was delivered to the Emperor of Qingluo Kingdom.
Liu Renyi was accused of missing the opportunity to fight, not daring to send troops, and wanting to lure the Yansha Kingdom into Xicheng...etc.
Liu Renyi didn't know that the eunuchs were secretly making things difficult for him.
What he didn't know was that the imperial court had long been aware of his private dealings with Guo Mu.
He still insisted on lobbying the military supervisors to wait a moment so that he could make the Yansha Kingdom retreat without a fight.
In order to avoid the military supervisors, he asked his deputy to go to that valley.
He was going to start his original plan.
Even if the warships of Yansha Kingdom reached the waters of Qingluo Kingdom, he had a way to get them to the waters of Sheng'an Kingdom.
He would never want to go to war with the Yansha Kingdom.
But what he didn't know was that all the herbs prepared in the valley had already been replaced by Chu Chengyi and his daughter.
Late that night, all the herbs in the valley had been transported to the upstream sea according to his plan.
When the wind direction is right, someone will light a fire to make the herbs produce thick smoke.
But after one night, the warships of Yansha Kingdom were still docked at Xicheng Pier.
However, the sea area within the dock was polluted and smelled terrible. The sea breeze mixed with the speechless stench caressed the face of every member of the Liu family army.
"General, there is something wrong with the herbs."
The deputy general who was in charge of covering up the poison and releasing the fumes was "annihilated" along with his entire army. The antidote they had taken in advance had no effect at all.
He vomited and had diarrhea until dawn, then he carried his limp body back to the base to report the situation to Liu Renyi.
"How could there be a problem with the herbs? You were responsible for collecting and protecting the herbs throughout the process, and you are only now telling me that there is a problem with the herbs?"
Liu Ren's eyes were red with righteousness.
He thought his plan was foolproof, but he didn't expect that not only would it be a waste of time, but it would also cause him big trouble.
"I will..."
The deputy general was speechless. It was indeed he who led the team to collect the herbs, and it was also he who led the team to guard the valley for so long.
When collecting herbs, there are trusted military doctors to check them.
It was clearly those kinds of medicine, but when burned out they didn't have the desired effects. He was also very confused.
"Someone, take Lieutenant General Liu away and lock him up."
Liu Ren was extremely righteous, but he did not punish him on the spot.
This Lieutenant General Liu is a relative of his clan. His family members are all in the capital and they rely on him as their legitimate descendant for a living. He doesn't seem like someone who would betray him.
However, now is not the time to pursue this matter.
Because the prison guards came looking for him again.
"General Liu, this is a brilliant plan."
As soon as the prison guard came in, he gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
"If we use the smoke to knock out the enemy first, we will be able to do more with less effort when we go into battle. When will General Liu attack?"
After praising Liu Renyi, the supervisor asked the question that concerned him most.
"Don't worry, Supervisor. It will be done as soon as possible."
Liu Renyi had no way of expressing his grievances, and had to pretend to be very patient in dealing with the military supervisor.
He had clearly prepared herbs that would make people sleepy, so who replaced them with herbs that would cause vomiting and diarrhea?
After the drowsiness-inducing herb took effect, it was blown by the sea breeze without leaving any smell at all. Yuan Hu couldn't blame him at all.
But the smell of the herbs they smoked last night was very strong.
Not only did most of the Yansha Kingdom's warships smell the odor, but the military tents closer to the sea in the garrison also smelled the odor.
In other words, those who suffered from vomiting and diarrhea were not only the soldiers of Yansha Kingdom, but also some people from Liu's army.
The upstream sea area also belongs to Qingluo Kingdom. He said he had no knowledge of the medicinal smoke floating down from upstream, but I'm afraid Yuan Huyi would not believe him.
After dragging on for so long, Yuan Hu became impatient and couldn't wait any longer.
This incident happened again today, and he is afraid that he will make a big fuss about it.
"General Liu, do you know the duties of the Qingluo State Military Supervisor?"
When the supervisor heard this, he knew that Liu Renyi was just trying to make do, and his face immediately darkened.
"General, I know this."
Although Liu Renyi was angry, he really did not dare to offend the military supervisor.
The military supervisors have the power to report directly to the emperor and have special communication channels. If anyone makes a complaint through them, he will be in big trouble.
But what he didn't know was that the prison guards had already filed a complaint against him.
Moreover, the letter of complaint was smoothly delivered to Yu's study.
"It's good to know. This supervisory army does not ask about your tactical arrangements. This supervisory army only sees whether you will disobey the order."
After the military supervisor said this, he left Liu Renyi's tent with his hands behind his back.
The imperial edict ordered Liu Renyi to destroy the soldiers of the Yansha Kingdom's eighty warships, and it would be best if he could take these warships for his own use.
Of course, the purpose of the military supervisor was to force Liu Renyi to go to war.
"Come here, call Deputy General Gao and Deputy General Chen... to discuss this matter."
Liu Renyi watched the prison guards leave, suppressing his annoyance.
After the people had gone far away, he asked the guards outside the tent to call his generals into the tent to discuss matters.
On the main ship of Yansha Kingdom, even though Yuan Huyi was strong and healthy, he could not escape the influence of the drug smoke. He vomited and had diarrhea until he was exhausted.
However, despite this, he still supported his limp body and had the envoys carried to his cabin to discuss matters.
"General Yuan, I'm afraid we have been tricked by Liu Renyi. He is delaying this in order to catch us off guard."
"Yes, we came unexpectedly at first, and he was not ready to fight, so he played along with us. Seeing that we had let down our guard, he used this trick to cut off the source of our trouble."
"That's right. Most of our soldiers can't even stand up and have no strength to fight. If they attack us now, how can we resist?"
......
The envoys were scholars, their physical condition was not as good as that of the military commanders, and at this moment they were lying on the stretcher, softened into a pool of mud.
Although they were powerless when speaking, since it was a matter of life and death, they still tried their best to express their opinions.
But the more he spoke, the more he regretted it. He had thought that this trip would allow him to fleece the Qingluo Kingdom and fill his own treasury again.
I never expected it to be like this.
