The next evening, Li Bai and Guo Ziyi hid in an abandoned medicine shop in the city.
"Big brother, we've been walking around this city for two days. Did you find anything else?”Guo Ziyi asked Li Bai.
Li Bai shook his head." There are Tibetans everywhere in this city. I only cared about following you and eavesdropping on the Tibetans 'conversations. I didn't find anything else."”
Guo Ziyi smiled slightly." Brother's performance these two days is really good. Without Brother, I can't complete this mission at all!"”
"There's no need for us brothers to be polite. We'll just drink to our hearts 'content when we return! By the way, did you discover something?”Li Bai looked at Guo Ziyi strangely.
"Yes!" Guo Ziyi nodded slightly.
Li Bai was slightly surprised and excited.""Brother, what did you find? Quickly tell me!"
"Yunxi City lacks water!" Guo Ziyi replied. We walked around the city for two days. I checked carefully and found that there were only three wells in the city that could provide drinking water. You have to know that there were nearly 40,000 troops stationed in the city!”
Gathering information on the battlefield was a military skill that Guo Ziyi was extremely familiar with. He was several times more meticulous than others when it came to observing things. Sometimes, on the battlefield, some inconspicuous details could determine the outcome of the battle.
Li Bai thought about it carefully. What Guo Ziyi said was indeed the case. He recalled the scene when he was investigating in the city and said,"Although there are only three of them, those wells are all large wells. They are connected to underground water sources and will not dry up. Other than the inconvenience of obtaining water, it will not affect the drinking water of the Tibetan army.”
Guo Ziyi nodded slightly. Li Bai's words made sense.
" There are only three wells... three..." Guo Ziyi mumbled, thinking about something.
All of a sudden, Guo Ziyi smelled a strong scent of herbs. She turned around and saw Li Bai rummaging through the rows of medicine cabinets. He pulled open a few drawers, which were still filled with herbs. The smell was spreading from there.
"These are all herbs. I don't know if they can be eaten. I'm really hungry!”Li Bai said as he rummaged through the drawers.
The Tubo people believed in witch doctors and never used Han Chinese herbs, so the medicine shop was still intact and hadn't been looted.
The smell of herbs assaulted Guo Ziyi, causing her to shudder. A flash of inspiration appeared in her mind.
Guo Ziyi immediately walked to the row of medicine cabinets and took out a few drawers according to the names of the medicines written on them.
These drawers were still filled with herbs. Yunxi City was dry and there was little rain. These drawers were also made of high-grade poplar wood, which was sealed against moisture. Therefore, these herbs were well preserved and had a strong medicinal smell.
Li Bai looked at Guo Ziyi, who had brought down several drawers of medicine and was still rubbing and smelling them in her hands. He felt strange and asked,"Brother, what happened to you? You changed your profession to a doctor?"
Guo Ziyi stood up and smiled at Li Bai.""Big Brother, I suddenly thought of a way to avenge Lord Wang Zhongsi and help our army break through the city!”
Li Bai was shocked." To avenge Lord Wang and even break through the city? What does that mean?"”
"Previously, Lord Wang was bitten by a Tibetan insect and poisoned. If I hadn't drunk the blood of the poisonous snake in the Tuo Luo Hall, my blood would have become the Ten Thousand Spirit Antidote. Since the Tubo people were able to sneak into Yuchuan City and poison Lord Wang, we will give them a taste of their own medicine.”
Li Bai looked at the several drawers of herbs in front of Guo Ziyi and seemed to understand something."You want to poison the Tibetans?”
Guo Ziyi first nodded, then shook her head."It's not poison. It's just drugging. How much poison would it take to kill all the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city? Even if there were a few more such medicine shops, it would not be enough.”
"Then how do we drug them? He drugged them but didn't poison them to death. What was his plan?”Li Bai was surprised and puzzled.
Guo Ziyi smiled." Big brother, have you forgotten? I found a book on the Tuoluo Poison Scripture from the Tuoluo Hall Master, Purple Mist Luo. I read it carefully. This book records the methods of concocting many poisons. There was a type of poison that would not kill people but would cause them to have diarrhea. It was originally used to detoxify poisoned people.”
Hearing this, Li Bai's eyes lit up and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, are you planning to use these herbs to concoct that kind of poison to make the Tibetans have diarrhea?”
"That's right!"
"Wonderful! As the saying goes, a good man can't withstand three bubbles. If these Tibetan soldiers had diarrhea, let alone fighting a war, it would be difficult for them to even stand up and pull up their pants!”
After saying that, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed. They did not dare to make a sound, afraid of alerting the people outside.
Li Bai looked at the herbs on the ground, and his gaze was a little strange.""But with so many herbs, how can the Tibetan soldiers in the city have diarrhea?”
Guo Ziyi smiled slightly." The laxative recorded in the Tuoluo Poison Scripture doesn't require a large amount of medicinal ingredients. A dose of medicine is only a few coins, and it can make people go on the toilet for several days." Now that all the herbs were gathered, it was enough according to the dosage.”
Li Bai still didn't understand." But how can you let these Tibetans drink your laxative?"”
Guo Ziyi smiled wickedly." Those three wells? I want them to drink medicine instead of water!"”
As soon as he said this, Li Bai immediately understood. He covered his mouth and laughed.
"Will the well water taste bad if we put these herbs in? Would the Tibetans still drink? Also, there was so much well water. Would it dilute the medicinal effects a lot?”After laughing, Li Bai thought for a moment and asked.
"The taste of the well water will probably change a little, but the Tubo people don't eat herbs, so they don't know that the change in taste is caused by laxatives. There are only these three wells in the city, so they can't not drink it even if they want to. The well water would indeed dilute some of the medicinal effects, but it would also dilute the medicinal taste. As long as these Tibetans drank enough water, the dosage of laxatives would be enough!”Guo Ziyi said with a smile. He had already considered these things.
"Brother, come with me to concoct the medicine. After that, we'll stay up all night and go to the three wells to help the Tubo people get rid of the fire in their intestines!”
Li Bai covered his mouth and smiled as he nodded. The two brothers began to prepare the medicine.
In less than two hours, a large pile of laxatives was prepared and piled up in the room like a small pile of dung! Guo Ziyi found a few large pieces of rags in the medicine shop and divided the pile of laxatives into three big bags.
The two of them carried the three big bags of medicinal herbs and sneaked out of the medicine shop together.
The first well was next to a stable in the west of the city. It was not only used for drinking, but also for military horses. The security here was relatively lax. Guo Ziyi and Li Bai held torches and disguised themselves as soldiers on night patrol. They quietly threw a large bag of medicinal herbs into the well.
"I don't know if this laxative is effective on horses. If it is, it's best. It will make these military horses have diarrhea too. They won't be able to carry people or run away!”Guo Ziyi laughed in his heart.
The other two wells were located in the Tibetan military camp and were heavily guarded.
Guo Ziyi thought of a way to light a fire on the grass pile outside the military camp. This grass was also an important combat resource. The Tibetan soldiers in the camp immediately came out to put out the fire. The water they took was also from the well. Li Bai and Guo Ziyi took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. They quietly went to the well and dropped the laxatives. Then, they took the opportunity to sneak out while they were fetching water to put out the fire!
When it was almost dawn, the soldiers guarding the city were the most tired and relaxed. Guo Ziyi and Li Bai found a place where the defense was lax and sneaked up the city wall. Then, they took advantage of the gap in the patrol to climb down the city wall and quickly return to Yuchuan City.
After returning to the city, Guo Ziyi told Wang Zhongsi and Tuoba Feng everything he had learned about the military situation and the poisoning of the well.
Wang Zhongsi and Taba Feng both began to laugh.
"Commandant Shen is indeed resourceful and does not stick to one pattern. "If it's done now, it'll be an unprecedented event. You'll indeed avenge me!”Wang Zhongsi smiled.
"I heard that Tubo people like to eat beef and mutton. It's not easy to digest and there's food in their stomachs. Brother, you helped them clear their stomachs.”Taba Feng could not help but laugh again.
"Let's wait for another two days and let the Tibetans drink more water!”Guo Ziyi smiled evilly. He was also a little anxious, not knowing if this matter would succeed.
The next two days were indeed very dry and hot. There was not even a trace of wind. Guo Ziyi drank a large bowl of cool well water and looked up at the sun in the sky. She smiled and said,"The heavens are helping me!"
