Chapter 794: Master Bianji shrinks back and does not come out, Yelang army suffers poisoning

Qin Mu smiled and nodded.

These were all just small tricks.

Originally, they weren't worth his pondering; it was just today, it happened to be with a few women, just to join in the fun.

Casually thinking of such a small scheme to make money for Great Qin and also stir up the dissatisfaction of Great Tang commoners.

Killing two birds with one stone!

Actually, those noble family young ladies also heard these words.

Qin Mu intentionally showed that there was nothing that needed to be avoided when speaking in front of them.

This approach made the noble family young ladies feel trusted and very moved.

Qin Mu played with the few women for a while.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian came in to report matters.

"Your Majesty, from Yelang, General Yue Yun has a letter."

Yelang was, after all, in the middle of a great war.

Although Qin Mu himself had not personally visited the front line, he was still very concerned about this war.

"Wei Zhongxian, you report it orally; what has Yue Yun encountered?"

Wei Zhongxian was also happy to report orally.

This was equivalent to chatting with His Majesty again. For this old eunuch, it was a great favor.

"Your Majesty, after General Yue Yun arrived in Yelang, he sent people everywhere to recruit soldiers. Our Great Qin army offers high pay, and the Yelang people are all scrambling to be Great Qin soldiers. In just half a month, he recruited 300,000 new soldiers!"

300,000!

Although he was mentally prepared, this number still made Qin Mu somewhat surprised.

It seems the high pay has an attraction to the Yelang people that is not ordinary.

But it doesn't matter; the shortage of Great Qin soldiers is truly too great.

With so many Yelang people supplemented, even if they counterattack the Gupta Empire's capital, the army is enough.

"Hmm, don't fear having too many soldiers; tell Yue Yun to recruit as many as possible!"

This is only Qin Mu.

Among the emperors of all dynasties, which one would feel at ease with a general outside having too many soldiers?

A military general holding a large army has always been something emperors fear.

There is no one like Qin Mu, who is at ease letting Yue Yun recruit soldiers as much as possible.

Because Qin Mu has absolute confidence; no one can rebel against him!

Wei Zhongxian continued.

"Your Majesty, last time we captured the Great Tang envoy group, and after interrogating them, we found out a piece of news. The leading general of the Gupta Empire is their National Preceptor, Master Bianji." Qin Mu was very familiar with the name Master Bianji.

This guy is quite capable of tossing about, running to the Gupta Empire and becoming the National Preceptor, not to mention.

This time, I don't know how he fooled the Gupta King, actually making him the commander of the Gupta army!

Although Master Bianji is very smart, he has never fought a war and has no experience leading troops.

Facing Yue Yun, he probably won't survive either.

Qin Mu dug his ear, feeling as if hearing this name would pollute his ears.

"Does Yue Yun have confidence in dealing with Master Bianji?"

That guy Master Bianji, although he might not necessarily know how to fight, has a lot of small underhanded tricks.

If Yue Yun meets him, he might also be tricked by surprise.

Wei Zhongxian replied.

"General Yue Yun and the Gupta army met, and he intentionally set up a fire-ox formation, making Master Bianji's elephant cavalry afraid to fight.

Later, General Yue Yun divided his troops to harass them, taking the opportunity to shoot and kill dozens of the opponent's war elephants. It has already made Master Bianji fearful, not daring to send small groups of troops out anymore.

But, in Yelang, they also encountered some spies poisoning the water source, and several soldiers died from poisoning."

Poisoning the water source?

Hearing this, Qin Mu frowned, feeling some unusual conspiracy.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.

The Yelang people themselves are good at using poison; in their own territory, could they still be poisoned by others?

This method is so vicious, it does look a bit like something Master Bianji would do.

It's just, Master Bianji's camp has already been watched by Yue Yun, so how could he send spies to poison the water?

"Wei Zhongxian, the amount of poison used to poison the water source must be very large. On your side, have you obtained any clues?" Hearing this question, Wei Zhongxian suddenly swayed, nearly falling over.

"Your Majesty, your subject is guilty! Before, the little ones reported that arsenic was in short supply in Chang'ancheng, and the price was rising continuously.

Your subject just thought it was a normal fluctuation and didn't pay attention. Now that Your Majesty mentions it, it looks like enemy acquisition caused the shortage." Sure enough!

It seems the place where the enemy acquired the poison is very far from Chang'ancheng.

Although it also affected Chang'an, the impact was not particularly large, causing Wei Zhongxian to be negligent.

"You go investigate quickly, where exactly is the poison being acquired in large quantities?"

"Your subject obeys the decree!"

Wei Zhongxian hurried out of the palace with a small run.

There is no need to run all over the world to explore everywhere for this matter.

As long as you find a pharmacy owner to ask, you will know the source of the goods and why it is in short supply.

It is not laborious to ask.

The matter of the water source being poisoned caught Qin Mu's attention.

But he believed that Yue Yun had already taken preventive measures. Otherwise, it would be impossible for only a few soldiers to die from poisoning.

....... Begging for flowers... 0

The Yelang people have a natural specialty in poisoning and testing for poison.

Perhaps, they can use the Yelang people to resolve this crisis.

The few women had been standing by his side.

Seeing Qin Mu handling government affairs, they didn't dare to step forward to disturb him.

Until Wei Zhongxian left, they came over to serve Qin Mu tea and eat some fruit.

Young Changle was full of curiosity about the things she had just heard.

She leaned over, pretending to help Qin Mu pound his legs, and took the opportunity to ask.

"Brother-in-law, the water source was poisoned, so wouldn't there be no water to drink in the forest? Will all the animals be poisoned to death?"

This girl is actually still worrying about those animals now.

Qin Mu raised his hand and rubbed Changle's little head.

"The animals will indeed mistakenly drink the poisoned water and die quite a few. What's harder is those Yelang hunters, who not only have no water to drink but will also be unable to hunt prey and starve to death."

"Ah?"

Changle was very unhappy hearing such a result.

"What kind of person would be so vicious? Actually thinking of such a ruthless trick?"

Qin Mu smiled.

Having Changle by his side to chat with him made Qin Mu's mood greatly relieved.

Enemies, of course, are as vicious as they can be.

But it left this little girl with lingering fears.

"Changle, don't worry. Although the scope of the water source poisoning is large, the time will be very short."

"Think about it, arsenic is so expensive; how much would it take to poison a water source?"

"Even with money, it's impossible to keep doing this."

Hearing Qin Mu say this, Changle's expression finally eased. ===== CHAPTER 796 =====
