Chapter 154: Everyone's happy robbery

Li Xiuning asked in surprise: "How could it be so powerful?"

"However, this poisonous smoke and rushing battle is not that magical. Instead, it will be restricted by severe weather and geographical environment." Chen Ying shook his head and said, "The Xunzhu tactic cannot be used alone. It must cooperate with the weather, environment, wind direction, and wind power. The wind direction naturally requires that the smoked city be at the lower wind outlet. In fact, the wind cannot be too strong. As long as it is too large, the poisonous smoke will directly cross the city and drift far away, and cannot have an impact on the city. Of course, the wind cannot be too small. If it is too small, it will not float on the enemy's wall. Hangu Pass is located at the intersection of Hangu Road. Except in the deep winter season, it usually blows southeast and south, and Hangu Pass is in the upper wind position. However, Hangu Pass is in the north and south of the Hangu Road. Even if there is a little wind, it will form strong wind when passing through Hangu Road."

Chen Ying actually chose the best time when he launched the smoked Hangu Pass. He chose the northwest wind, which was almost no third-level time. Such weather was very rare in winter, and it was actually relatively rare in early spring. However, Chen Ying was lucky. When he encountered the season when the northwest wind was the least, the northwest wind formed air convection in the Hangu Road, forming a direct impact on Hangu Pass City.

Li Xiuning frowned and said thoughtfully: "In other words, once the wind is too big and the wind direction is suitable, you can attack all cities with poisonous smoke? This means that no matter how strong the city in the world is, it cannot defend?"

Chen Ying laughed and said, "Why is it so powerful? It's actually very simple to break this move. If the city has enough troops, the best way is to take the initiative and send troops out of the city. Before the enemy launches, they will destroy the pile of firewood they piled up first. Otherwise, if the opponent attacks, they will be very passive."

Li Xiuning was like a curious baby at this time and continued to ask: "What if the defenders in the city are insufficient in combat and cannot fight back from the city to fight back? What's more, the enemy can also use the defenders in the city's urgent desire to destroy the poisonous smoke, set up an ambush outside the city, and annihilate the enemy's biological forces?"

Li Xiuning indeed had a very high talent in military tactics. In fact, Chen Ying used this method when he was in Hangu Pass. If Wang Renze dared to send troops out of the city, he would have died even worse. Chen Ying assembled eighteen regiments of Yue cavalry, nine regiments of Modao Army, and more than fifty regiments of archers outside the city. No matter how many troops Wang Renze would send in the end, Chen Ying was absolutely sure to eat up the troops sent by Wang Renze.

However, it was not known at that time that Wang Renze did not expect this, or because he saw Chen Ying's intention and did not send troops out of the city, Chen Ying's ambush plan eventually died of death.

"This sentence hit the nail on the head and asked it!" Chen Yingyouyou smiled and said, "The poisonous smoke at this time is actually not very toxic and is easy to prevent."

As he said that, Chen Ying took out a gourd that had been sawed out of the box under the bed in the camp. In order to prevent scratching his face, the edge of the gourd was wrapped with linen. Five holes as big as copper coins were chiseled at the bottom of the gourd, and a layer of black and white cloth bags were all covered.

Li Xiuning held the gourd and the confusion on her face became even stronger: "Can this broken gourd be able to prevent poisonous smoke?"

"Don't underestimate it, the anti-virus effect is really good!" Chen Yingyang said proudly: "Did you see this cloth bag? It contains activated charcoal."

Since activated carbon has extremely strong adsorption properties, it can be used as a filter for anti-toxic gas. This knowledge involves chemical knowledge, and Chen Ying was unable to explain it clearly to Li Xiuning for a while.

In fact, at the beginning, Chen Ying thought that the poisonous smoke burned by wolf poison weeds, arsenic, asphalt was not powerful, so he directly used five layers of activated carbon to make a mask and distributed it to the soldiers under Duan Zhigan. However, the effect of this mask was not good. Because many soldiers felt bored when wearing masks, they did not cover their noses, so many soldiers were already infected and had adverse reactions such as coughing and runny noses afterwards.

However, Chen Ying immediately proposed improvements. After all, wolves poison weeds, arsenic, asphalt and other things are too common. One day, no one will be able to treat them by others. In order to be prepared, Chen Ying ordered people to make a batch of pig-mouthed simple gas masks (this is not a fool of Lao Cheng. If you want to make a very simple game, take a coke bottle of about two liters, cut it off half of it, leave the curve of the face of the human face, and hold activated carbon bags inside. It's fine. It's available for sale in Taobao.)

Chen Ying took this pig's mouth-shaped gas mask and put it on Li Xiuning, and then gently tied the rope behind her head. Seeing Li Xiuning wearing a gas mask, Chen Ying couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, Li Xiuning did not smile.

Li Xiuning did not forget her mission. She liked Chen Ying, but she was even more the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan was worried that Chen Ying's weapon that could attack cities and villages without any disadvantages was actually what she saw the most. In fact, Chen Ying's performance made Li Xiuning very satisfied. Not only did she not shirke him, but she not only told her the method of attacking poisonous smoke, but also told her the preventable measures.

Chen Ying asked someone to find a bronze mirror and put it in front of Li Xiuning, asking Li Xiuning to look at himself in the bronze mirror.

Li Xiuning was wearing a gas mask and couldn't speak at all. Looking at Li Xiuning's anxious eyes flashing in her eyebrows and eyes, Chen Ying hurriedly untied the rope behind Li Xiuning's head.

Li Xiuning gasped and said, "It's very uncomfortable, a little stuffy!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "There is no way to do this. I have ordered the craftsmen to make improvements and strive to create a better gas mask."

Just as Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were testing the effect of gas masks in Beijian Daying, Zheng Anxin and Wang Wei, who were anxiously waiting outside the camp, were almost crying.

In fact, not only the gentry in Xin'an County was robbed, but even a farm in Hongnong Yang's family in Taolin was robbed. However, the farm in Hongnong Yang's family in Taolin was far less prosperous than that in Xin'an Zheng's family. He was robbed for about 600 guan of money and thousands of stones of grain.

These thieves in black were becoming more and more arrogant. They actually looted the rope pool in broad daylight. At this time, seven or eight county magistrates and hundreds of gentry gathered outside the Beimian camp. They were waiting for Chen Ying to uphold justice for them.

In fact, none of the hundreds of people present had ever thought that these men in black were actually led by Chen Ying. They found the official to sue their accomplices, but they could only laugh.

It was not until evening that Li Xiuning tested all the samples of the wolf poison smoke ball, the detailed production methods, and the gas mask. It was not until Li Xiuning personally tested the effect of the gas mask that He Yueer brought the samples of the wolf poison smoke ball, the detailed production methods, and the gas mask returned to Chang'an to report to Li Yuan.

After finishing all this, when Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were preparing supper, Zhou Qing reported to Chen Ying: "Xin'an Order Wang Wei, Zheng Anchun, the Foreign Affairs Director of the Zheng Family Courtyard, and others asked for a meeting!"

Of course, Chen Ying knew the purpose of these people asking for their own view, but Li Xiuning was present. Chen Ying pretended to be unclear and said, "Can you still have a meal? What should I do if I ask for a visit to this general? Let them stick to the rules and ask for instructions at all, so you can do whatever you want!"

Li Xiuning said, "Governmental affairs are important. I think these officials have waited for it, so why don't you let them come in together and see what's wrong with them!"

Chen Ying was secretly happy. With the witness Li Xiuning here, wouldn’t it be better to wash away his suspicion? However, Chen Ying was winking and Zhou Qing understood.

Chen Ying pretended to be reluctant to say, "Let them wait for a while and wait until this general finishes his meal!"

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning hurriedly finished their meal. Everyone who had finally been summoned by Chen Ying rushed into the tent. Everyone knelt on the ground, howling and crying, as if they were being slapped by dozens of mighty men.

After a long time, everyone found that Chen Ying had no reaction at all and was completely glaring at the blind man.

Zheng Anchun was not as unaware as other officials or gentry. He found that there was a woman dressed as a man in Chen Ying's tent standing openly in Chen Ying's tent, and when he saw Chen Ying let him stand in the lower left, his status was obviously different. His head suddenly thought of the identity of this woman.

"Caughter Zheng Anchun pays homage to Princess Pingyang!"

The officials were originally angry about Chen Ying's refusal to meet them. They naturally thought that Chen Ying was holding an air, but when they heard Zheng Anchun say this, they quickly understood what was going on. Their anger was smooth. After all, no matter how important they were, they were not as important as Princess Pingyang from Chang'an.

"The official (we wait) to meet His Highness Pingyang!"

Everyone bowed again.

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "You are exempt from gifts. Now it's time for war. Don't talk about anything. Tell me quickly if you have anything to do. I am busy with military affairs!"

Zheng Anchun's face was like the sky in June, changing as soon as he said, and immediately burst into tears and snot, and said in a crying voice: "Please make the decision for the people of the grass!"

"Please give Chen Anfu the decision to be the leader of us!"

Chen Ying was quarreled by everyone and pointed at Wang Wei coldly and shouted: "Mr. Wangxian, you talk first!"

Wang Wei said anxiously: "Please ask Chen An to pacify and dispatch troops to wipe out the black thieves!"

"Black-clothed thief? What the hell is that?" Chen Ying looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Is there such a force nearby?"

Zhou Qing shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't know if it's humble!"

Zheng Anchun continued: "These thieves in black are so cruel. They looted the Xin'an Villa of Zheng in Xingyang on the eve of the night, and robbed more than 6,000 taels of gold, more than 20,000 taels of silver, more than 10,000 guan of copper coins, and about 10,000 stones of food... There is also a lot of money, and the Xin'an Villa of Zheng in Xingyang lost more than 120,000 guan!"

When Chen Ying heard this, he wanted to yell at Zheng Anchun: "You fucking fart!"

Chen Ying naturally knew how much property he had snatched from the Zheng Xin'an Villa. He had snatched a total of 320 ingots of gold, of which 10 taels were about 150, about 130 ingots of 5 taels, and a total of 40 ingots of 5 taels, and a total of 4150 ingots. However, in Zheng Anchun's mouth, it turned out to be 6,000 ingots, which was nearly 2,000 jin, which was equivalent to 20,000 jin of gold.

As for all the property plus 65,000 guan, it will definitely not exceed 70,000 guan.

Chen Ying instantly thought of a joke from later generations. The robbers robbed the bank. After returning, one of the new robbers said, "Boss, let's count how many they robbed." The old robber said, "Are you stupid? So many, when do you want to count? You'll know when you read the news tonight?" After the robbers left, the president said, report the case quickly! Just as the director was about to leave, the president hurriedly said, "Wait! Add the five million we had embezzled last time!" The director said, "It would be great if the robbers came to rob each month."

The next day, the news broadcast reported that the bank was robbed 100 million, and the robbers counted only 20 million.

The boss cursed: "Damn it, I only robbed 20 million after I fought my life. The bank president made 80 million by wiping his fingers. It seems that he still has to study these days!"

Chen Ying did not expect that this time he robbed Zheng Xin'an Villa, but instead helped Zheng Anchun fill the holes of his embezzlement.

Without surprise, Chen Ying found that the amount reported by all the reporters was far greater than the amount they actually robbed. Chen Ying was speechless about this phenomenon. Corruption not only exists in the country, but in fact, there are also borers and rats in any family.

Chen Ying was nothing, but Li Xiuning was very surprised: "He is really lawless, he openly robbed and regarded the king's law as nothing. Such bandits must be severely punished after they are caught."

Chen Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we must punish severely. As long as we catch these bandits, we must torture them and spit out the robbed property as much as possible!"

At this moment, a personal guard came in and reported: "Report to the general, the scout found that unknown armed personnel gathered in Longtan Valley!"

"Haha!" Chen Ying laughed and said, "It's really a place to search for it without any effort. People come and the personal guards gather together. After half an hour, they set out to surround Longtan Valley. You must arrest all these big rats!"

There are naturally no men in black in Longtan Valley, but there are a bunch of bandits who occupy the mountain and become king, and some of the property that Chen Ying hid in. However, these property is only a very small part and cannot be taken away. For example, the Duan inkstone treasured in the Zheng family courtyard and the hollow screen carved from sandalwood. Although these things are valuable, they are the key to seeing them.

Chen Ying originally planned to frame the bandits and learn about this matter by the way. After all, Chen Ying grabbed nearly tens of thousands of coins of property in just two days, which was enough to accommodate refugees.

However, Chen Ying absolutely did not expect that he had not sent troops here, and the scout of the bandits in Tanlong Valley who were monitoring there actually caught more than a dozen messengers who came to deliver secret messages. What made Chen Ying laugh and cry was that these messengers were actually sent by Zheng Anchun or other foreign officials secretly, just to remind these bandits that Chen Ying was preparing to send troops to deal with them.

Luo Shixin looked at the messengers and secret letters and said in confusion: "Are they stupid? Why should we notify these bandits?"

Chen Ying said: "They are not stupid, on the contrary, they are all very smart... The so-called human nature, haha!" Chen Ying couldn't help but laugh.

Naturally, Chen Ying was unwilling to take the blame. In order to show that he had not gained his personal pockets, Chen Ying invited all the robbed gentry and Zheng Anchun to watch the bandit suppression together.

The bandits gathered in Tanlong Valley, after less than half a quarter of an hour of resistance, were all surrendered, but the property seized in Tanlong Valley was far from enough, which was a bad debt.
