For many years, Chen Li has been with Pei Zhong through thick and thin, and has earned Pei Zhong's trust.
Over the years, he had been doing his job as Pei Zhong's deputy general until he received a secret letter not long ago.
Tonight he wanted to let in 500,000 Xiliang troops, but at the same time he didn't want to expose himself. For this reason, Chen Like was racking his brains.
If they used knockout potion, it would be difficult to knock out all the soldiers in such a large camp, and it would easily alert the other soldiers and cause trouble. However, if they directly added knockout potion to the food, they would be aware of the situation when they woke up.
After much deliberation, Chen Li sought advice from an expert and finally decided to poison the patient in two steps.
At dinner, he ordered people to poison the food, but this poison would not have any side effects unless it encountered a poison that was designed to match it.
After dinner and evening training, the soldiers finally fell asleep.
Since it was summer and there were many mosquitoes, Chen Li added the drug that triggered the toxin into the mosquito coils. When the smell of the mosquito coils penetrated into the nasal cavity of each soldier, the effect of the drug finally took effect.
After making sure that the soldiers were asleep, Chen Li took immediate action and ordered Chai Jing's personal soldiers to gently lower the gate of Hanyu Pass and lead the 500,000-strong army of Xiliang in.
The 500,000-strong army was well-trained. In order not to attract the attention of the soldiers, even the horses' hooves were wrapped with special things. The 500,000 people quietly passed through the military camp and came to the outskirts of Lizhou City without disturbing a single citizen.
Outside the city, Qian Yeyao had already been waiting there. Behind him, all the food and supplies were ready.
"Your Highness Prince Li, this humble general, Jing En, is the Grand Marshal of this Southern Expedition. I will be working with Your Highness Prince Li to capture the capital of Nanyue. Here is my letter of introduction from the Emperor of Xiliang."
Qian Yeyao's face, still slightly flushed with excitement in the darkness, took Yelu Boyan's letter, read the introduction and the military seal, and clasped his fists, saying, "General Jing is a rising star in Xiliang. I've long heard of your great name, and seeing you today, I'm convinced it lives up to your reputation!"
"Your Highness, Prince Li, you are too polite. My monarch has instructed us that this time, we will form an alliance with Prince Li. Prince Li will lead the front, and our army will provide support. In the event of a crisis, this general will assist. Please rest assured, Your Highness, Prince Li."
When Qian Yeyao heard this, his expression changed instantly.
How the hell is this any different from him fighting alone? How is this any different from robbery?
"Haha, General Jing, this is not good, right?"
"Oh? What's wrong with that?"
"Since Brother Yelu has already sent troops to help me, why should I be so stingy about sending troops to fight? You must know that any military deployment will involve sacrifices. Since General Jing has already led 500,000 troops to Nanyue, why should I be so stingy?"
"Haha," Jing'en laughed, "This isn't a question of being stingy. The Emperor agreed to send troops, but he didn't say how they were going to fight. Sending troops to Prince Li is to strengthen the army and to make the enemy flee. But as I said just now, if an emergency truly arises, I will definitely not retreat. Your Highness, Prince Li, rest assured."
"Then what is an emergency?" Qian Yeyao was really pissed off by Jing'en.
It's like two men who are willing to do that kind of thing, and they have clearly reached the climax.
