Chapter 406 Poisoning
This made him realize that he had to face a cold reality.The remaining food and grass can no longer last for three days.
There used to be more than 300 soldiers guarding the grain and grass, but now all of them have been killed. The death is very thorough. It seems that they should be done by acquaintances. After all, if someone comes to sneak attack, it should be a trace of resistance , but this group of people is basically nonexistent.
Among the people who were put back, there really was a traitor.
Although I don't want to admit it, this is the cold reality.
So Wu Yong issued an order to have all those released back locked up.
But there is no way to unify the detention.
After the White Lotus Sect uprising, due to the limitations of the peasant uprising, some barbaric growth occurred during the uprising. Although they were all insurgents, there were many factions, more like a combination of small groups.
So after these people were locked up, when Wu Yong passed a small camp, he heard someone shouting, saying loudly:
"I want to see the Great Elder, why are you imprisoning me, I am not a traitor!"
Someone next to me said impatiently:
"What are you shouting for? I know you won't be a traitor, so stay here for now. The Great Elder is directing the army to fight in front. How can I see you when I have time!"
There were several other incidents like this that happened in the camp at the same time.
Wu Yong suddenly and sensitively realized that something was wrong.
After all, the soldiers who were released were not just soldiers. Their brothers and fellow villagers were all among the rebels of the White Lotus Sect. At the very least, they were all fellow villagers of these little bosses.
After seeing Wu Yong, some leaders came to look for him, and said to Wu Yong in a rather rude way:
"My brothers, there will still be problems! I will naturally be responsible for anything!"
Although Wu Yong is a military adviser in name and a cultural person, but to be honest, he doesn't have much real prestige in this rebel camp.
In normal times, everyone may call him Wu Junshi out of face.
But if this matter really involves his own interests, then it's hard to say.
Although the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty these days is to emphasize literature over martial arts, as long as you are a scholar, you will be taken seriously, but this is another extreme after all, and those who can join the White Lotus Sect to revolt are generally some big bosses in the world , They are against everything advocated by the court.
So these small bosses, in fact, many of them secretly did not obey Wu Yong's discipline very much. Wu Yong hoped that he could establish his prestige in this battle against Daqingshan.
But the reality is that Daqingshan is a hard bone, and I haven't gnawed it down at all.
Facing the questioning from these leaders, Wu Yong could only persuasion:
"Someone is burning our food and grass now..."
Before Wu Yong finished speaking, the little boss interrupted him on the spot:
"Burn it, burn it, it must have nothing to do with my brother..."
Wu Yong was also a little speechless at this time. The mob was just the mob. Even if such a big incident happened, this group of people didn't take it seriously. In fact, in the final analysis, this group of people still didn't regard the rebels as their home.
There is no sense of belonging. If the rebels are really defeated, that's okay. They just take people away, but they can't let themselves be wronged.
The rapid expansion of the White Lotus Sect in a short period of time, such a situation is inevitable, Wu Yong can only say with a smile:
"I understand what you said, but the current situation is special. I am going to gather these brothers who have been released, but don't worry, they must be eating well. Wait until I ask the matter in detail. , naturally put them back..."
Wu Yong felt that he was polite enough, but the boss still didn't appreciate it, and said directly to Wu Yong:
"Military officer, don't worry, my brother will definitely not be incited to rebel. If you are not at ease, you can let him stay with me. I will keep him in custody and nothing will happen. As for you to gather him, I will Let’s just forget about it…”
Hearing what the little boss said, Wu Yong had a toothache. This group of people really didn't obey discipline. He said seriously:
"The enemy is cunning, if they really want to extract a confession, someone must have told us about the situation of our army, and all of this will be ignored, but if someone is really instigated to carry out some secret mission..."
"Can there be any secret mission..."
The leader muttered in a low voice, obviously Wu Yong felt that this was making a fuss out of a molehill, deliberately making things difficult for him.
Wu Yong hadn't spoken yet, at this moment a close friend of his came over.
The man came to Wu Yong's ear and whispered something.
"Poisoned?"
Wu Yong looked at his cronies with a puzzled expression.
"A pack of laxatives."
The confidant nodded, and took out a paper bag, which contained a bag of white powdered medicine, and it was impossible to see what it was.
"Are you sure it's a laxative?"
Wu Yong looked at his cronies with a serious face.
The confidant nodded and said to Wu Yong:
"I'm sure. I've checked with the doctor in the army. It's a laxative."
After a pause, the confidant went on to say:
"The brother said that the man from the Lin Family Army threatened him to put this bag of poison into the water we drink, and then go back to report, and the court will be able to write off his crimes, which is considered a meritorious service..."
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, always feeling something strange: "Just kidding, why do people poison the water? Could it be that they can compare to those of us who are running around the rivers and lakes in the research on poison... and it's just A pack of laxatives, don't they think they can defeat our army with a few packs of laxatives..."
From Wu Yong's point of view, this was a foolish trick. If he had gotten the news from the beginning, Wu Yong would definitely have laughed at the other party for being a clown.
But now Wu Yong is a little confused. The other party is obviously not a clown, but why does he have to make such a clumsy performance?
At this time, the confidant analyzed:
"Did they think that this laxative is colorless and tasteless, so it's not easy to be discovered?"
After hearing this, Wu Yong couldn't help but nodded, thinking that this was a possibility.
Seeing that his guess was approved by Wu Yong, the confidant became more enthusiastic at this time, and then said:
"My lord, in fact, this matter should not be taken lightly. If one or two people take laxatives, it will naturally not have any impact on our army. What if there are too many people? Although it will not kill people, it will definitely affect us. The army's siege progress..."
Hearing this sentence, Wu Yong had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
The words of this confidant awakened Wu Yong.
