Chapter 1160 Something Enough to Deter Li Jian
Duanmu Anguo is definitely a guest of honor for Zong Sui. The new emperor Li Jian is very fond of him. It is precisely because of Duanmu Anguo that he made up his mind to turn against Dashun. It can be said that if Duanmu Anguo had not instigated and encouraged this battle, it would probably not be defeated.
Li Jian was in power and his internal affairs were still uneasy, so how could he have the spirit to turn against Dashun? But Duanmu Anguo once asked him to see something, which was the most shocking time in Li Jian's life in more than 20 years. It was that kind of thing that made Li Jian think that Zong Sui was not without capital and Dashun, and Zong Sui did not have the opportunity to turn over completely under Dashun's control. As long as Duanmu Anguo provided Zong Sui with a large amount of that kind of thing, Zong Sui's prospects would be bright.
Of course, he did not ignore the divine objects like Dashun and Tianlei. Compared with the things in Duanmu Anguo's hands, Dashun's Tianlei seemed to be better than those things. But Duanmu Anguo told him not to hurry. Apart from those things, he had other good things in his hands. He just needed to wait. The thing had to be harvested from Qianzhou and he would transport it to Zong Sui as soon as possible.
Today, Duanmu Anguo came to give a big gift. Li Jian thought, could it be that the good things that he had harvested from Qianzhou have arrived?
"Come on General Duanmu!" He was a little excited. He really wanted to see what Duanmu Anguo brought this time, and whether he could still shock him enough like last time.
Soon, Duanmu Anguo came in from His Highness and knelt down to salute as soon as he arrived in front of Li Jian. Li Jian hurriedly stood up and personally supported the person, and said enthusiastically: "I have said long ago that General Duanmu can be exempted from the great gift in front of me."
"Oh!" Duanmu Anguo waved his hand, "That was the emperor's praise of the weak minister, but how could a minister be arrogant because of his favor? I really couldn't do this kind of courtesy?" He said, and stubbornly bowed to Li Jian, "Duanmu Anguo, please pay homage to the emperor." In his words, he regarded himself as a minister of Zong Sui, and forgot that he was originally a great person.
Li Jian helped the person up again, without much politeness, and rushed to the topic: "The old general said he had a big gift to me, but the good thing he mentioned last time collected from Qianzhou?"
Duanmu Anguo nodded: "The emperor is right, it's exactly that kind of thing. Yesterday, the old minister's people had returned from Qianzhou and secretly brought the things back. I have checked it overnight. Today I will bring some into the palace and ask the emperor to check it out." As he said, he reached into the sleeve bag and touched a small wooden box.
He opened the wooden box and Li Jian leaned over, but saw that the wooden box was filled with white powder and covered with yarn, which looked a bit mysterious.
"What is this?" Li Jian was puzzled and wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Duanmu Anguo - "Your Majesty, no! This thing must not be touched easily, otherwise there will be danger!"
Li Jian was stunned, "Is it a poison?" After saying that, he felt a little unhappy, "General Duanmu said that the second surety of winning is poison? Poison Sect Sui also has it. The strongest poison can only be killed on the spot by just smelling it, but he didn't know what it was necessary for the old general to come from Qianzhou from thousands of miles away. If you have to rely on poison to fight against Dashun, it is not considered a surety for winning."
Duanmu Anguo shook his head, "If the emperor calls this thing a poison, it will not be rewarded. However, in the old minister's opinion, it is definitely not as simple as poison."
"Oh?" Li Jian sat back on the dragon throne, "The old general, let me tell you what this thing is and how it is used?"
Duanmu Anguo told Li Jian: "This thing is the second thing that the old minister said before, and he will win against the enemy Dashun. It is called Jile Xiaoyao San, and only Qianzhou's ice land can be planted. After Qianzhou was annexed by Dashun, under the suppression of the king of Dashun, Qianzhou was no longer allowed to plant this thing openly, so the old minister sent people to Qianzhou to find and collect it this time, which took a lot of time and took a long time."
While he said, he opened the yarn covered with white powder. The white powder was very delicate and symmetrical, with a little crystal flashing light in the white, just like the white rouge that a woman wiped her face. But Duanmu Anguo was very careful. When he opened the yarn, he even closed his breath, but let Li Jian take a look from a distance, and then immediately covered the yarn again, with caution.
"The emperor must have heard that there is a thing called Xiaoyao San, right? The Sui Dynasty also has it, but there are other names called Dream Immortal. It is a drug that will make people hallucinate and become crazy after taking it. Once a person develops the habit of taking it, it will be difficult for him to quit. He must provide the needs on time every day to ensure that he will not go crazy. However, after taking it for a long time, people will become weaker day by day until they eventually die. This kind of Jile Xiaoyao San for thousands of weeks is strictly controlled by the Jilei Xiaoyao San.
It should be of the same type of medicine as Dream Immortal, but it is much more powerful than Dream Immortal's medicine. It will make people crazy and fiercer, and forget the pain, life and death while being crazy, and will be controlled by the person who gives the medicine. As long as the person who gives the medicine has a command, they will charge like a walking corpse, meaningless blood. Even if the enemy has cut off half of his head, as long as his legs can still walk and his arms can still swing, they will still stay on the battlefield and fight for us."
Duanmu Anguo said this and looked at Li Jian's reaction very carefully. He was a very careful person. After talking about the effects of Jile Xiaoyao San, he was ready to be prevented by Li Jian. After all, this kind of thing is too evil, and Li Jian would definitely think about what would happen if he used it on him?
Duanmu Anguo had already thought of a solution to this. He told Li Jian: "Your Majesty, the old minister has lived in the northern border for so many years. He has long known about this Jile Xiaoyao Powder, and even prepared another drug that can resist this thing." As he said that, he took another box from his sleeve bag and handed it to Zhou Da, the eunuch beside Li Jian. "As long as the emperor smells this drug, then from now on, this Jile Xiaoyao Powder will be of no use to you." Of course, he said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. Although this Jile Xiaoyao Powder has great strength, it still needs to be taken before it can take effect. Although it will have some effect after hearing it, it will only be excited for three or two hours, and it will not be too harmful."
Li Jian held the so-called antidote in his hand, curiously put it under his nose and smelled it. He felt a coolness coming into his head, very happy. After smelling it, he laughed and said to Duanmu Anguo: "How could I guard against General Duanmu! I am just afraid that I will accidentally stick to that thing. Since this Jile Xiaoyao San can make people excited and crazy enough to cut off half of the head and continue to fight to kill the enemy, if it is used on the battlefield between Zong Sui and Dashun, all of us will be divine weapons!"
"That's natural." Duanmu Anguo said: "As long as we put our generals in uniform, our soldiers and horses will not be afraid of any fear, no matter how capable they are, they will only rush forward desperately, even if they fill in the body, they will fill in Dashun's soldiers and horses."
Li Jian was a little excited when he heard this. He could even imagine that he had a team that was not afraid of blood, no pain, and no death. Under the charge of that team, he retreated step by step and eventually became his defeated general of Zong Sui. But... "But if my Zong Sui's troops take such things, they will definitely die even if they win a battle, right?" Li Jian's expression darkened, "Have General Duanmu thought about how many people would it take to use people to fill a victory? Most of the soldiers of Zong Sui can be enough?"
Duanmu Anguo immediately stated: "Emperor, any victory will come at a price. I think Dashun unified this continent and made the four small countries a foreign country, and how many soldiers would be lost? Zong Sui's national strength was not as good as Dashun. He has been a foreign country for hundreds of years. If you want to fight a turnaround battle this time, would you still have to worry about how many soldiers would be sacrificed? The emperor, those who accomplish great things must not be careful. Of course, the old minister's meaning is not that the lives of the soldiers are worthless, but that the emperor can compare the achievements they brought to Zong Sui. As Zong Sui soldiers, how glorious it would be to be able to use their sacrifices to the Zong Sui unified the world. The emperor—" He further said, "To show sincerity, the old minister is willing to dedicate all the 100,000 personal soldiers he brought to Zong Sui to the battle of subduing Jile Xiaoyao San, just to help the emperor unify the world!"
He knelt down and spoke with great momentum. Li Jian couldn't help but be excited. Duanmu Anguo brought 100,000 personal soldiers, which were his own soldiers, but now he is willing to let his personal soldiers take medicine to fight for Zong Sui, which touched Li Jian very much. He promised Duanmu Anguo: "Your beloved is so considering me, and I promise you again that as long as Zong Sui conquers Dashun, the three northern provinces of Dashun will return to your favor, and the land of Qianzhou will be handed over to your favor, and there is no need to surrender to Zong Sui."
"I am thankful for the emperor's success! I am only hoping to take back my hometown, and I will respect Zong Sui as my respect in the future and pay tribute every year!" Duanmu Anguo was very excited, but in fact, he was ready to turn against Li Jian.
Any monarch who obtained the throne by usurping the throne is not a good deal. The reason why Li Jian treated him like a guest of honor was because he was shocked by something he had taken out before. Zong Sui wanted to borrow the things in his hand to take Dashun, but once he took them down, how could he willingly give him the three northern provinces?
