Chapter 148
Having a headache. "
Zhao Jia nodded quickly, and said, "Okay, Jia made a note."
Everyone was busy talking about it in the middle of the night, afraid of disturbing Feng Shu's rest, so they went back separately. Wu Jiu and Qi Hou didn't go to sleep until midnight. After dawn, Qi Hou suddenly heard a voice around him, and immediately woke up vigilantly. Said: "Second brother? Where are you going?"
It turned out that Wu Jiu had already woken up, was going to bed and put on clothes, and said: "It's still early, you rest for a while, I'll go to the dining room to make some soup, Feng Shu woke up, his body is too weak, the widow is going to make him a tonic." body soup to drink."
When Qihou heard this, he was so jealous that he woke up. The second elder brother got up early in the morning and didn't bother to stay in bed anymore. He turned out to make soup for Feng Shu. When it came to eating, Qihou became twice as jealous.
But because Feng Shu is a patient, Qihou will not compete with the patient for favor.
Thinking so, Qi Hou got up quickly and said, "Second Brother, I'll go with you alone."
Wu Jiu said, "What are you doing with me? You know how to make soup again."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "I know how to eat alone, how about giving the second brother a taste of the soup?"
Wu Jiu said helplessly, "What else do you do besides eating?"
Qihou replied freely: "I will eat my second brother."
Wu Jiu said with a sullen face, "It's also eating."
Qi Hou said sincerely: "Second brother said so, it seems to be true."
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi arrived at the dining room, Wu Jiao was going to make some nourishing and nutritious food to nourish Feng Shu's body, and collected some ingredients in the dining room, but they were marching and fighting, so they didn't have many fresh ingredients at all.
At this moment, Wu Jiu turned his eyes on Qihou, and said with a smile, "Go and get a pigeon for the widow."
"Pigeon?"
Wu Jiu nodded and said: "Clear stewed pigeon soup, nourishes qi and blood, and is light, it is best for patients to drink."
When Qi Hou heard this, he immediately thought of the pigeon that Wu Jiao made before, it was delicious, and he couldn't help talking, and immediately bargained, saying: "Go and shoot pigeons for the second brother, and the second brother will roast a pigeon for the lonely later." Pigeons eat."
Wu Jiu heard that Qihou was still asking the price, so he had no choice but to say: "As long as you can hunt pigeons, I will make as many pigeons as you hunt!"
Wu Jiu boasted to Haikou, and Qi Hou immediately left.
Wu Jiao waited for Qihou to go out, cleaned up the ingredients, and prepared to cook. He happened to have a pork liver and some red dates. Wu Jiao planned to make a small fried pork liver, and then a glutinous rice and red dates. After a while, the pigeons came , put the soup on stew.
Wu Jiao processed the pork liver to get rid of the fishy smell, and then marinated it to let the pork liver taste.
When marinating the pork liver, I washed the red dates and made some glutinous rice. The red dates and glutinous rice taste sweet and not greasy. It is very acceptable to eat. Feng Shu is injured now, so it is suitable for eating less and more meals. If you are hungry, eat a piece of glutinous rice and red dates, which can also keep you full and nourish your blood.
Wu Jiu was almost ready, Qihou came back and said loudly, "Second Brother!"
Hearing Qihou's voice, Wu Jiu was busy with the things in his hand and said, "Put it aside."
I heard Qi Hou say: "Second brother, but I can't let go."
Wu Jiu was a little suspicious when he heard that, how could he not let him play pigeons, unless it was a wild boar!
Wu Jiao turned his head to look, his face was full of surprise, and his face became stiff, because what Qi Hou called was not a single pigeon at all, but a basketful of pigeons, Wu Jiao felt that there was no need to count them in detail, there must be at least ten pigeons !
Wu Jiao looked at Qihou in shock, and Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, you must keep your word. You beat twelve orphans, one was used to make soup for Feng Shu, and the other eleven were orphans."
Wu Jiao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and Qi Hou ate eleven pigeons in one go?I'm afraid Tang Wu is not trying to rescue Feng Shu, but him!
Qi Hou also urged: "Don't stand still, second brother, do it quickly."
Only then did Wu Jiu break free from the shock, and hurriedly continued cooking. He heard Qi Hou narrate him and said, "I wanted to hunt more. There are plenty of prey here, but I just thought about it. Although the pigeons are small It’s a little bit, but if you eat ten of them, and eat some other things, you should be able to control your fullness.”
should……
Wu Jiao heard Qi Hou rambling about his pigeons, so he had to cook the pigeons for him. Wu Jiao made a small fried pork liver and let Qi Hou taste the saltiness. Qi Hou took one with his chopsticks and sent it to him. mouth.
The small fried pork liver was cut to a moderate size. After being marinated by Wu Jiu, the pork liver was neither dry nor old.
The taste of the sauce spread between the mouth and tongue, with an aroma that stimulated the taste buds, and the body fluid was secreted immediately.
Wu Jiu didn't need Qi Hou to speak, he knew the taste must be just right, because Qi Hou's eyes lit up.
Wu Jiu put the small fried pork liver aside and was processing the red dates when he saw Qi Hou sneaking over, grabbed a piece and ran away, then passed by again, picked up a piece and ran away, and returned it after a while.
Wu Jiu turned his head, looked at Qihou who was stealing food, and said, "If you eat any more, you'll be gone."
Qi Hou smiled dryly and said: "Isn't Gu helping Zuo Shi to share his worries? He is so weak, he must not be able to eat so much, it's not good to waste too much."
Qihou has his own unreasonable reasoning, Wu Jiu had no choice but to set aside some for him and let him eat it. After Qihou ate the small fried pork liver, he immediately calmed down. It takes five or six strokes to eat up.
Wu Jiao saw that he looked like a pissed off daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly prepared the roasted pigeons for Qihou to eat. Eleven roasted pigeons were placed on a big plate, which looked very spectacular and It is only in the military barracks that there are such big plates. After all, it is a place where big pot meals are made.
Qihou rolled up his sleeves and rolled them up to his elbows. He held the roasted squab with both hands and ate it with great relish. Delicious."
After a while, the remaining bones of the roasted pigeons piled up like a mountain. While Wu Jiao was cooking the soup, when he turned his head, Qi Hou had already eaten eleven roasted pigeons, and they were gnawed very clean. There was no meat residue, and Qi Hou seemed to be unsatisfied. With some roasted sauce on his finger, Qi Hou raised his head, licked his finger lightly, and took a sip in his mouth.
Because Qi Hou swept the roasted pigeon crazily just now, his sideburns were a little loose, hanging down to cover his angular cheeks, so he looked much softer and more beautiful. He licked his fingers, just in time to meet Wu Jiu's eyes , and even raised his lips and smiled, that appearance turned out to be very charming.
Wu Jiu thumped twice in his heart, suddenly felt his throat was tight, similar to a feeling of thirsty water, coughed twice quickly, Qi Hou was still diligently sipping his slender fingers, Wu Jiao simply He rolled his eyes and turned around, continuing to cook the soup.
Wu Jiao made the dishes and soup, and had someone carry them to Feng Shu's camp. Feng Shu was lying on the couch, and had already rested all night. Wipe off the sweat.
Feng Shu looked much better today, and he was able to sit up already. Seeing Wu Jiu coming in, he got up quickly to salute, but Wu Jiu quickly stopped him and said, "No need to be too polite, Zuo Shi lie down quickly."
Zhao Jia supported Feng Shu to lie back, and then saluted Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiao asked people to put the vegetables on the case and said, "Zuo Shi lost a lot of blood, eat something to replenish his body."
Feng Shu didn't know that Wu Jiao made these dishes with his own hands, but Wu Jiao asked someone to bring them over, and Feng Shu was already very grateful.
Wu Jiao was afraid that Feng Shu would be too embarrassed to eat when he was there, so he prepared to leave and asked Feng Shu to eat well, besides, it was Qi Hou's eyes, staring at Feng Shu's food, his eyes were wolfish, and he wanted to pounce on him. Feeling like grabbing food, Wu Jiao was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, Qihou would really go grab food with Feng Shu.
Wu Jiu took Qihou and hurried away, while Zhao Jia opened the lids of the meals, carefully poured a bowl of soup for Feng Shu, then stirred it with a small dagger, cooled it a bit, brought it over, and supported Feng Shu again Shu sat up, put a soft quilt on his back, tidied it up, and then prepared to feed Feng Shu soup.
Feng Shu stared at Zhao Jia suspiciously. Zhao Jia's scalp was numb from his stare, and he said, "What are you looking at?"
Feng Shu said in a hoarse voice, "Could it be that you poisoned the soup?"
When he said this, Zhao Jia immediately laughed angrily, and said, "Jia wants to harm you, you died last night, and you still need to be poisoned?"
Feng Shu still looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why are you so fake and kind all of a sudden, what are your plans?"
Zhao Jia was really going to piss him off. Feng Shu is a heartless person. Zhao Jia took care of him all night last night. He didn't even blink his eyelids. Now his eyes are blue, but Feng Shu thought he was Uneasy kindness.
But it's true, Feng Shu and Zhao Jia can be said to be old enemies. Before the two of them, one was Qin and the other was Chi Di, so there was already a festival. Feng Shu even stabbed Zhao Jia with a sword. Feng Shu was killed.
Later, the two of them wanted to play tricks, and they both came to the state of Chu. It could be said that enemies did not get together. Zhao Jia and Feng Shu were half-forced every time they got along. Zhao Jia was out of face, so Feng Shu Shu thought that Zhao Jia hated him so much, so he naturally didn't expect Zhao Jia to take care of him so carefully.
Zhao Jia fed him the soup angrily, but still cautiously said, "If I don't feed you enough, how can I eat you?"
When Feng Shu heard this, his hairs were about to explode, and he said warily, "I...I am a wounded patient!"
Feng Shu said so, but his cheeks were also a little red, and it seemed that he was reddened a lot in an instant, and he had a little blood.
Zhao Jia looked at it and laughed, and said, "Don't worry, Jia is not such a beast."
Hearing what he said, Feng Shu rolled his eyes and said, "If you are not a beast, who else is a beast?"
Zhao Jia suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "Lord Zuo Shi speaks with conscience, every time Jia serves Lord Zuo Shi, isn't he also submissive, and Master Zuo Shi is crying and begging Jia to give you more?" .”
Feng Shu's face turned even redder, and he panted heavily, and said, "You...you..."
When Feng Shu got angry, his neck hurt immediately, but Zhao Jia said, "Your Majesty Zuo Shi, you'd better get well soon, you are hurt like this, but Jia was ordered by the king to take care of you. If you are not good every day, Jia will take care of you every day." You, not only you are upset, Jia is also upset about taking care of you."
Feng Shu was so angry by Zhao Jia that he could no longer speak. He always felt that he was the one who was angry. How could Zhao Jia be so eloquent? He wanted to tear his mouth apart to relieve his anger.
Feng Shu didn't know that Zhao Jia was aggressive, so he really opened his mouth and drank the soup obediently. Zhao Jia taunted him while coaxing Feng Shu to drink the soup.
Feng Shu lay on the bed for four or five days, and he finally got better. He bickered with Zhao Jia every day and became more energetic every day.
That day Yanjiu led the team back, and Wu Jiao couldn't wait to summon Yanjiu when he saw Yanjiu's return.
Yanjiu reported: "Your Majesty, there are quite a few guards in the E Kingdom, and there are many Pu people inside. They are heavily guarded when entering and leaving the border towns. It seems that they have already learned about the capture of the King of E."
Wu Jiu handed the two blood-stained terrain maps to Yanjiu, and said, "Look at this map, is it true?"
Yanjiu took it over and took a look, his eyes were filled with surprise, the more he looked, the more surprised he was, and he said: "It's true, it's true! It's absolutely true. The terrain is exactly the same as that of E country, and the strength of the garrison is also very reasonable. According to Yanjiu's understanding of the Pu people, at least [-]% of this picture is true."
Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, the things Feng Shu desperately snatched seemed to be useful, Qi Hou said with a smile: "That's great, when shall we send troops?"
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "The sooner the better."
Wu Jiu immediately asked Yanjiu to prepare to send troops to attack E State. With the topographic map in their hands, they could easily attack E State, capture the E palace, and drive the Pu people out of E State.
Food, grass and luggage were ready soon, and the army was about to leave. Wu Jiao was worried about Feng Shu's health, so he came to Feng Shu's tent to go in and have a look.
As a result, as soon as Wu Jiu and Qi Hou arrived at the door, they heard a strange voice inside. Feng Shu's voice was crying and said: "You bastard... bastard, you are taking advantage of others, and my wound still hurts."
Then came Zhao Jia's voice, and said with a smile: "It's just a kiss, and it's not like I haven't kissed before. Mr. Zuo Shi also enjoyed it very much, and even grabbed my back."
Wu Jiu turned his eyes immediately, and exchanged a glance with Marquis Qi.
Zhao Jia's voice said, "Do you want to do it again?"
Feng Shu's voice said: "Get out of here! I seem to have heard noises outside just now, go out and have a look."
Zhao Jia said, "I didn't even hear a sound."
When Wu Jiu heard flirting and cursing inside, he felt helpless and coughed hard.
When Wu Jiao coughed like this, the people inside were startled. After Wu Jiao reminded him, he paused for a moment, then walked in, and said with a smile, "Zuo Shi, how is the wound healing?"
Feng Shu lay on the couch and pretended to be dead, but his face was flushed and swollen, he couldn't bear it anymore, he stammered and said: "Feng...Feng Shu pays respects to my king, sees... Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Zuo Shi is tired, so there is no need to be polite."
Feng Shu always felt that there was something in Wu Jiu's words, and his face turned red, while Zhao Jia stood aside with a calm face, and said, "Your Majesty, Master Zuo Shi's wound healed quickly, and he will take care of him for a while. Day, it must be great."
Wu Jiu said, "This is all thanks to General Zhao."
Feng Shu still felt that there was something in Wu Jiu's words, but Zhao Jia said calmly, "Thank you, King, for your compliment."
Feng Shu really knelt down to Zhao Jian's righteous face, and he answered the questions fluently, why didn't Feng Shu realize that it was a compliment to him?
Wu Jiu said: "The widow is planning to set off to attack E in two days. Zuo Shi is inconvenient, so he should stay in the camp."
When Feng Shu heard this, he immediately said: "Feng Shu's health has recovered, he doesn't need to rest at all, he can follow the team, and he will never slow down, please learn from the king!"
Wu Jiu wanted to appease Feng Shu, but Zhao Jia saw that Feng Shu was in such a hurry, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although Master Zuo Shi's body has not yet recovered, his sincerity can be seen, why don't Master Zuo Shi follow the team?" , Jiahui has the full authority to take care of Lord Zuo Shi and ensure his safety. Besides, it would not be safe if Lord Zuo Shi is left behind, and the Pu people are cunning, and they might sneak attack Zuo Shi who is alone."
After Zhao Jia said that, Wu Jiao had no choice but Feng Shu also looked like he wanted to follow the team, so Wu Jiao could only nod his head and said, "Okay, but Zuo Shi must not be aggressive, if you feel uncomfortable, speak up immediately. "
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou left soon, Feng Shu heaved a sigh of relief, Zhao Jia raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I never thought you would risk your life for the position of Zuo Shi."
When Feng Shu heard this, he glared at Zhao Jia and said, "Is there anything wrong with being loyal to the emperor?"
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Yes, quite right."
Listening to his tone, Feng Shu always felt it was strange, there was an inexplicable sour smell.
The army set off soon. Their camp was originally temporary, and they dismantled the camp after they left. Because they had a defense plan with soldiers and horses in their hands, they were not afraid of the Pu people at all.
It's just a pity that after so long, the people who sent out to search didn't see the shadow of Young Master Diao, and he didn't know where he went, but he disappeared.
The army quickly moved to the vicinity of E State and set up camp. They chose a city gate where the Pu people had a weak garrison as an assault point.
In order to take care of Feng Shu, Zhao Jia didn't take the initiative to take credit. Wu Jiu ordered Yanjiu to lead the troops to attack the city, and Zhao Jia had no objection. Now he put all his heart and soul on the injured Feng Shu.
Feng Shu, on the other hand, "simplely" thought that Zhao Jia really wanted to make her fat and fat, but doing that kind of thing with herself made her very embarrassed every day, and she would blush when she saw Zhao Jia, Feng Shu was quite good-looking , slender and temperamental, Zhao Jia is happy to see him blushing.
Wu Jiu ordered Yanjiu to attack the city gate, and gave Yanjiu black gunpowder, which immediately blew up the gate of the border city of E State into cannon fodder. It didn't take half a day for the army of Chu State to drive straight in and directly captured the border city of E State. March forward and set up camp, ready to continue to go deep into the interior of Hubei.
The Pu people who occupied the state of E knew about this matter very quickly, and they were very flustered. When the people of the Pu people heard that they had captured the king of the state of E, they thought that the state of Chu might have obtained their military and horse defense map. Who will be stronger now? It was immediately obvious who was weak, and since they couldn't mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time, the Pu people had no way to fight against the soldiers of Chu State.
What's more, the Pu people occupied the state of E. Although they controlled the high-level officials of the state of E, they also controlled the army of the state of E, but the people of the Pu people were mermaids, which caused public resentment and great internal conflicts. Many soldiers of the state of E were unwilling to support them. The trend and the continuous uprisings also caused the Pu people a headache, and they couldn't fight at all.
Seeing that Wu Jiu's team was victorious, this was not a water battle, and the Pu people had no advantage at all, and they were about to be forced to the capital of E State.
In less than ten days, Wu Jiu's army was like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and even approached the capital of E State. Outside the capital of E State, the Chu army had already lined up neatly, standing clangingly, each pointing to a long sword and wearing black armor.
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi also wore black armor and stood on horseback. Behind them, the national flag of Chu was fluttering in the wind of late autumn.
The Pu people on the city tower were so frightened that they had to close the city gate and dare not fight at all.
Yanjiu came over to ask Wu Jiu for instructions, and Wu Jiu said, "There is no need to forcefully attack, the capital of E has no reserves, and we will besiege outside the city. It won't take a few days for them to open the door and surrender."
Yanjiu nodded, and everyone kept watch until the third day.
The king of the E Kingdom has nothing to do, he has always been a fish and meat for the people. After the Pu people entered the E Kingdom, they plundered and enslaved them without any scruples. The food in the city was not enough for a few days. Most importantly, Wu Jiao cut them off Without food, they can survive without food, but without water to drink, they will die of thirst.
Early in the morning of the third day, the Pu people in the country of E couldn't stand it any longer. A general of the Pu people went up to the tower and asked for an interpreter.
Wu Jiu was still in the tent, he was putting on his clothes after getting up early, Yan Jiu rushed in quickly, Qi Hou hurriedly put on the outer robe for Wu Jiu.
Yanjiu didn't pay attention to that much, and said: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, and the Pu people have become stubborn again!"
Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on, but he heard that the Pu people were shouting on the tower, so he quickly dressed, came out of the tent, and went to the gate of the tower.
The Pu people above were still shouting, and someone translated, saying: "Listen, King Chu—if you don't retreat, we are going to perish anyway, so let's throw down a hundred people from Hubei every day until you retreat. !"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was so angry that he felt his head "hum--", the people of the Pu people were really shameless to the extreme, they wanted to massacre the people of E country if they couldn't beat them.
E State and Chu State belonged to the same clan, and the Pu people grasped this point.
The general of the Pu family said a few more words, and the translator said: "If you don't believe me, let me open your eyes now—"
As he was speaking, just as he finished speaking, he saw the general of the Pu clan next to him suddenly stretch out his hand, and a small figure was thrown down from the tower in an instant. It turned out to be a one-year-old child!
Wu Jiu took a deep breath, and everyone was stunned. At this moment, Qi Hou squinted his eyes suddenly, exerted force on his legs, and used his strength to turn over from the horse. He came out in a hurry without any armor, and his robe was in the strong wind. Flying constantly, like a surprise eagle, rushing out quickly, jumped up suddenly, "Tap!" kicked on the wall of the tower, followed by two "tap" sounds, and leaned against the wall. With the strength of the face, he jumped up quickly, pulled up, and caught the child thrown down in this flash of lightning.
The child was frightened, and suddenly burst into tears, "Wow--" There were also captured E country people on it, all shouting, screaming constantly, and possibly the parents of the child, shouting: "Child--I child!!"
Qihou hugged the child and rescued the child without any danger. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Jiao suddenly squinted his eyes and shouted, "Be careful! Run!!"
Seeing that there were archers lying in ambush on the top of the city tower, the general of the Pu tribe waved his hand, and the archers fired all their arrows, making a sound of "swish, swish", and all the arrows shot at Qihou and the child under the city gate. .
Qihou squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold the child in his arms, and ran back quickly. The army was beyond the range of the Pu people, so there was no safety issue, but Qihou was within the range, how could he run safely? The arrow flew so fast, Wu Jiu's hands were covered in cold sweat for a moment.
When Yanjiu and Zhao Jia saw it, they all got off their horses immediately, snatched the shields of the soldiers around them, stacked the two shields together to form a high wall, and then rushed out quickly and ran towards Qihou.
Yanjiu and Zhao Jia held their shields and moved forward quickly, but the area of the two shields was too small, and they were almost shot into a hornet's nest before they bordered on the Qihou.
As soon as Wu Jiu saw it, he immediately ordered: "Set up the formation, save people!"
The soldiers all imitated the movements of Zhao Jia and Yanjiu, and built the shields up and down, and then a large number of soldiers rushed out, shouting chant, and quickly caught up with Yanjiu and Zhao Jia who were helpless in front of them. After connecting the two people into the formation, the soldiers holding shields immediately greeted Qihou and the child, and escorted Qihou and the child into the formation.
Wu Jiu didn't dare to fight, and when he saw that the crowd had saved Qihou and the child, he said sharply, "Retreat!"
The soldiers with shields retreated quickly, still erected their shields, and quickly got out of the range of the Pu people, only to be safe.
Wu Jiu was covered in cold sweat, his clothes were drenched, when he saw Qi Hou came back, he quickly said, "Are you injured?!"
Qi Hou handed the child to Wu Jiu first, then raised his hand, there was a scratch on the back of his hand, and said: "It's nothing, only a skin injury."
The child was frightened and was still too young, crying loudly in Wu Jiao's arms, coughing with snot and snot from the crying tears, Wu Jiao quickly patted the child to comfort him, Yanjiu threw the shield and said: "The group of grandchildren , to come to Yin, Your Majesty, what should I do like this?"
The Pu people on the top of the city were still yelling, repeating what they said just now, and pushed half of the people of E Kingdom to the outside of the city wall to demonstrate. As long as they use a little more force, those people will fall from the tower. Even if Hou can save one person, it is impossible to save the people of a city.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, his face was filled with dark emotions, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Temporary withdrawal of troops."
Yanjiu has a bad temper and immediately said: "Your Majesty! This..."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Zhong behind him quickly stopped Yanjiu, not letting him continue, Yanjiu's words just stopped.
Wu Jiu ordered the Chu army to withdraw their troops, and soon the army withdrew from the gate of the E country's blockade. Not only that, Wu Jiu also ordered the troops to withdraw from the E country.
Obviously, he was almost able to take back the entire E country, entered the E palace, and arrested all the Pu people who occupied the E country and fished the people. However, at this juncture, Wu Jiao ordered all the Chu troops to withdraw from the E country.
Yanjiu seemed completely unable to accept this order, but compared to Yanjiu, the others were much calmer.
The army withdrew from the capital, retreated continuously, and set up camp in the suburbs at night. Wu Jiao sent an order for the generals of Chu to come to the shogunate to discuss matters.
When everyone entered the shogunate, they saw Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi sitting on the mat, with a map on the case in front of them. After entering, they saluted first, and then they all took their seats.
Wu Jiao said calmly: "Generals, I have summoned you today, I think everyone knows what I want to say."
Yanjiu was the first to say: "Pu people are too deceitful! Your Majesty, Yanjiu asks for orders to lead a team of troops to attack the capital of E State and enter the city!"
Zhao Jia frowned, and said: "You Sima, don't be reckless, the lives of the people in the city are at stake, if the Pu people hear any disturbance, it will be the people who will suffer."
Wu Jiu nodded. He agreed with Zhao Jia's words and said, "General Zhao is right."
Yanjiu said anxiously: "Then what should I do?!"
Qihou sat next to him. He didn't speak, but he wasn't idle either. He was "milking the baby".
Qihou held the newly rescued baby in his arms. The baby was hungry and wanted to eat. They were marching and fighting here, and there was no goat milk for him to drink, so Wu Jiao asked someone to make some rice porridge. Give the porridge to the baby.
At this time, Qi Hou was holding the baby in one hand and a small dagger in the other, blowing cold rice porridge and feeding it to the baby little by little.
Seeing that Yanjiu spoke loudly, Qihou was afraid that he would scare the baby. When the baby heard them talking, his eyes widened and he even forgot to eat the porridge.
Qi Hou quickly said: "You Sima, please be safe and don't be impatient."
Immediately he said to Wu Jiu, "Second brother, don't play tricks, tell everyone your idea."
Wu Jiu laughed, reached out and buttoned the map, and said, "Everyone, we are now in a dilemma. Although the Chu army is powerful, the Pu people use the people as a threat. If our Chu army forcibly breaks through the city, what will happen in the end?" It is the common people who are suffering, and both losers, therefore, the widow thinks that we should respond in a roundabout way."
"roundabout?"
Everyone listened attentively, Wu Jiao nodded and said: "I am going to send a large army to attack Baipu. This time, our Chu army will switch from defense to attack and attack Baipu people's lair!"
Some of the generals suddenly realized, while others disagreed, and said strangely: "Your Majesty, this... this Baipu is in the depths of the barbarians, and our army has never traveled so deep. If you don't accept it, you have no intention of fighting."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't want the soldiers to really fight."
When he said this, Yanjiu and Zhao Jia suddenly showed stunned expressions, and then Wu Jiu continued: "I sent a large army to attack Puren's lair, and joined forces with neighboring countries to send envoys to create this situation again. Let the Pu people know about the rumors on the side, so the Baipu people will definitely deal with our Chu army."
In fact, this is a very simple way to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and attack the old nest of the Pu people with all their strength. Because it is too deep, the Chu army may not be able to adapt to the climate and cannot fight at all. Therefore, Wu Jiu just wanted to make a momentum to unite many countries. There are a lot of Pu people in the E country, so they will naturally consider whether they should send troops to support the rescue. If their own territory is overthrown, what's the point of occupying a small E country?It is impossible for the Pu people to lose the big because of small things.
As Wu Jiu said, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the southwest corner of E State, which is where the Chu State of E State and Baipu meet. When the Pu people withdrew, they raided them with troops and horses, scattered their troops, and at the same time sent troops to rush into the country of E, so that as soon as the Pu people's army dispersed, they could be defeated by surprise."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, with joyful expressions on their faces, as if they all agreed with what Wu Jiu said.
Wu Jiu then said: "Since all the generals agree with the opinion of the widow, then the widow will issue orders."
He said, thought for a while, and continued: "You Sima."
"The humble general is here!"
Yanjiu hurriedly took a step forward, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands and clasped his fists, Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "You Sima is familiar with the terrain of E country, take two teams of soldiers and horses, and lie in ambush near the country of E, and wait for the troops supported by the Pu people to go out of E country." After the country, go straight to the capital, and be sure to drive out the villain who has occupied the magpie's nest!"
"Yes! The humble general takes orders!"
Yanjiu responded immediately.
Wu Jiu then said, "General Zhao."
Zhao Jia hurried forward, also knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "The humble general is here."
Wu Jiu said: "General Zhao immediately led two thousand soldiers and horses, rushed to the southwest, quickly garrisoned troops, and prepared to secretly attack the rescued Pu army."
"Yes! Jia takes orders!"
Both Yanjiu and Zhao Jia, the two military officials, had their uses, Wu Jiao thought for a while, then looked at Qu Zhong, and said, "Gongzheng."
Qu Zhong quickly stepped forward to salute, and said, "The important thing is."
Wu Jiu said: "I have ordered you to set off and go to Ba and Shu as envoys, and spread the news that Chu is going to join forces with Ba and Shu to attack Pu."
Qu Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will accept my order again!"
After Wu Jiu finished speaking, he said to Feng Shu: "Zuo Shizhong has not yet healed and is not suitable for running around, so in the barracks, he created public opinion that our Chu State is going to attack Baipu on a large scale. We must let the Pu people, everyone Everyone knows."
Feng Shu quickly said: "Yes, Feng Shu understands."
Everyone immediately had their jobs. Yanjiu, Zhao Jia, Qu Zhong, and Feng Shu knelt on the ground, performing their duties and taking orders. Qihou hugged the baby, and while feeding the rice paste, he said: "Second brother , what about the solitary? What can the solitary do?"
Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi, thought for a while, seemed to be thinking about it seriously, but in the end he didn't think about anything, so he said lightly, "Hey the child."
Qihou is dignified as the king of a country and the overlord of a powerful country. Everyone else has earth-shattering responsibilities, and Qihou's responsibility is to feed the children. Yes, suddenly "giggle" laughed, and the laugh was full of joy, and he raised his little hand to pat it, and yelled "ahhh" twice, seeming to agree with Wu Jiao's words.
Qihou nodded helplessly on the little baby's nose and said, "Little guy, drink your porridge."
The little baby said "ahah" twice, and even wiped his nose with his hand, looking decent.
After Wu Jiu gave orders, everyone performed their duties, and soon the Pu people heard about Chu's plan to make a big move, and discovered the movement of Chu's army. They also heard that the Chu king sent Qu's people to Bashu. Shi, ready to discuss the matter of joining forces, so the Pu people were suddenly scared.
Although their territory is not small, their strength is very scattered, and they cannot compete with Chu State at all. If Chu State really sends out a large army, although they will not be destroyed, they will still suffer heavy losses.
After a period of stalemate among the Pu people, there was finally a movement. Just as Wu Jiu expected, the Pu people really withdrew a large number of soldiers from the E country, preparing to support them back.
The army of the Pu people set off and left the country of E. Just when they were about to trek for a long distance, they suddenly heard the sound of killing and killed many soldiers of the state of Chu from all directions. The ship has been improved and has become very fast. There is also an elongated hook. Hearing the sound of "click! click-click!", the long hook instantly hooked those Pu boats that were about to escape. The family boat is too small, and there is no way to escape at full speed. The hook on the hook has a long barb, and once the hook is hooked, it is basically impossible to untie it.
The supporting Pu soldiers hadn't gone far, and they were immediately defeated, jumping into the water and fleeing in all directions.
Zhao Jia then ordered the Chu army to use portable hooks to refuse to catch people, and the escaped Pu people were brought back by the hooks before they could swim far.
This side of the Pu army was attacked by surprise, and the other side Yanjiu led people to rush into the country of E, and fought all the way to the gate of the capital of the country of E. , It is not enough to contend at all, and wants to close the door without fighting.
However, Yanjiu had black powder in his hand, and wanted to blow open the city gate by surprise, but before Yanjiu had time to give the order, he heard the sound of "Boom----!!!" from the city gate, and opened it by himself. Unbearable to be humiliated and oppressed, he even fought with the defenders of the Pu nationality, and some people rushed to the tower and opened the city gate.
As soon as the city gate was opened, Yanjiu immediately shouted: "Siege the city!!"
The black Chu army, like a black wave, pushed forward violently in the strong wind, and rushed into the capital of E State in an instant. The army was defeated, and those who dropped their helmets and armor scattered and fled.
The supply troops led by Wu Jiu and Qihou entered from the state of E, and began to release grain and food along the way. Let Tang Wu lead a team of medical officers to help the people and build shelters for refuge. Finally arrived at the capital of E country.

Zhao Jia nodded quickly, and said, "Okay, Jia made a note."
Everyone was busy talking about it in the middle of the night, afraid of disturbing Feng Shu's rest, so they went back separately. Wu Jiu and Qi Hou didn't go to sleep until midnight. After dawn, Qi Hou suddenly heard a voice around him, and immediately woke up vigilantly. Said: "Second brother? Where are you going?"
It turned out that Wu Jiu had already woken up, was going to bed and put on clothes, and said: "It's still early, you rest for a while, I'll go to the dining room to make some soup, Feng Shu woke up, his body is too weak, the widow is going to make him a tonic." body soup to drink."
When Qihou heard this, he was so jealous that he woke up. The second elder brother got up early in the morning and didn't bother to stay in bed anymore. He turned out to make soup for Feng Shu. When it came to eating, Qihou became twice as jealous.
But because Feng Shu is a patient, Qihou will not compete with the patient for favor.
Thinking so, Qi Hou got up quickly and said, "Second Brother, I'll go with you alone."
Wu Jiu said, "What are you doing with me? You know how to make soup again."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "I know how to eat alone, how about giving the second brother a taste of the soup?"
Wu Jiu said helplessly, "What else do you do besides eating?"
Qihou replied freely: "I will eat my second brother."
Wu Jiu said with a sullen face, "It's also eating."
Qi Hou said sincerely: "Second brother said so, it seems to be true."
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi arrived at the dining room, Wu Jiao was going to make some nourishing and nutritious food to nourish Feng Shu's body, and collected some ingredients in the dining room, but they were marching and fighting, so they didn't have many fresh ingredients at all.
At this moment, Wu Jiu turned his eyes on Qihou, and said with a smile, "Go and get a pigeon for the widow."
"Pigeon?"
Wu Jiu nodded and said: "Clear stewed pigeon soup, nourishes qi and blood, and is light, it is best for patients to drink."
When Qi Hou heard this, he immediately thought of the pigeon that Wu Jiao made before, it was delicious, and he couldn't help talking, and immediately bargained, saying: "Go and shoot pigeons for the second brother, and the second brother will roast a pigeon for the lonely later." Pigeons eat."
Wu Jiu heard that Qihou was still asking the price, so he had no choice but to say: "As long as you can hunt pigeons, I will make as many pigeons as you hunt!"
Wu Jiu boasted to Haikou, and Qi Hou immediately left.
Wu Jiao waited for Qihou to go out, cleaned up the ingredients, and prepared to cook. He happened to have a pork liver and some red dates. Wu Jiao planned to make a small fried pork liver, and then a glutinous rice and red dates. After a while, the pigeons came , put the soup on stew.
Wu Jiao processed the pork liver to get rid of the fishy smell, and then marinated it to let the pork liver taste.
When marinating the pork liver, I washed the red dates and made some glutinous rice. The red dates and glutinous rice taste sweet and not greasy. It is very acceptable to eat. Feng Shu is injured now, so it is suitable for eating less and more meals. If you are hungry, eat a piece of glutinous rice and red dates, which can also keep you full and nourish your blood.
Wu Jiu was almost ready, Qihou came back and said loudly, "Second Brother!"
Hearing Qihou's voice, Wu Jiu was busy with the things in his hand and said, "Put it aside."
I heard Qi Hou say: "Second brother, but I can't let go."
Wu Jiu was a little suspicious when he heard that, how could he not let him play pigeons, unless it was a wild boar!
Wu Jiao turned his head to look, his face was full of surprise, and his face became stiff, because what Qi Hou called was not a single pigeon at all, but a basketful of pigeons, Wu Jiao felt that there was no need to count them in detail, there must be at least ten pigeons !
Wu Jiao looked at Qihou in shock, and Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, you must keep your word. You beat twelve orphans, one was used to make soup for Feng Shu, and the other eleven were orphans."
Wu Jiao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and Qi Hou ate eleven pigeons in one go?I'm afraid Tang Wu is not trying to rescue Feng Shu, but him!
Qi Hou also urged: "Don't stand still, second brother, do it quickly."
Only then did Wu Jiu break free from the shock, and hurriedly continued cooking. He heard Qi Hou narrate him and said, "I wanted to hunt more. There are plenty of prey here, but I just thought about it. Although the pigeons are small It’s a little bit, but if you eat ten of them, and eat some other things, you should be able to control your fullness.”
should……
Wu Jiao heard Qi Hou rambling about his pigeons, so he had to cook the pigeons for him. Wu Jiao made a small fried pork liver and let Qi Hou taste the saltiness. Qi Hou took one with his chopsticks and sent it to him. mouth.
The small fried pork liver was cut to a moderate size. After being marinated by Wu Jiu, the pork liver was neither dry nor old.
The taste of the sauce spread between the mouth and tongue, with an aroma that stimulated the taste buds, and the body fluid was secreted immediately.
Wu Jiu didn't need Qi Hou to speak, he knew the taste must be just right, because Qi Hou's eyes lit up.
Wu Jiu put the small fried pork liver aside and was processing the red dates when he saw Qi Hou sneaking over, grabbed a piece and ran away, then passed by again, picked up a piece and ran away, and returned it after a while.
Wu Jiu turned his head, looked at Qihou who was stealing food, and said, "If you eat any more, you'll be gone."
Qi Hou smiled dryly and said: "Isn't Gu helping Zuo Shi to share his worries? He is so weak, he must not be able to eat so much, it's not good to waste too much."
Qihou has his own unreasonable reasoning, Wu Jiu had no choice but to set aside some for him and let him eat it. After Qihou ate the small fried pork liver, he immediately calmed down. It takes five or six strokes to eat up.
Wu Jiao saw that he looked like a pissed off daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly prepared the roasted pigeons for Qihou to eat. Eleven roasted pigeons were placed on a big plate, which looked very spectacular and It is only in the military barracks that there are such big plates. After all, it is a place where big pot meals are made.
Qihou rolled up his sleeves and rolled them up to his elbows. He held the roasted squab with both hands and ate it with great relish. Delicious."
After a while, the remaining bones of the roasted pigeons piled up like a mountain. While Wu Jiao was cooking the soup, when he turned his head, Qi Hou had already eaten eleven roasted pigeons, and they were gnawed very clean. There was no meat residue, and Qi Hou seemed to be unsatisfied. With some roasted sauce on his finger, Qi Hou raised his head, licked his finger lightly, and took a sip in his mouth.
Because Qi Hou swept the roasted pigeon crazily just now, his sideburns were a little loose, hanging down to cover his angular cheeks, so he looked much softer and more beautiful. He licked his fingers, just in time to meet Wu Jiu's eyes , and even raised his lips and smiled, that appearance turned out to be very charming.
Wu Jiu thumped twice in his heart, suddenly felt his throat was tight, similar to a feeling of thirsty water, coughed twice quickly, Qi Hou was still diligently sipping his slender fingers, Wu Jiao simply He rolled his eyes and turned around, continuing to cook the soup.
Wu Jiao made the dishes and soup, and had someone carry them to Feng Shu's camp. Feng Shu was lying on the couch, and had already rested all night. Wipe off the sweat.
Feng Shu looked much better today, and he was able to sit up already. Seeing Wu Jiu coming in, he got up quickly to salute, but Wu Jiu quickly stopped him and said, "No need to be too polite, Zuo Shi lie down quickly."
Zhao Jia supported Feng Shu to lie back, and then saluted Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiao asked people to put the vegetables on the case and said, "Zuo Shi lost a lot of blood, eat something to replenish his body."
Feng Shu didn't know that Wu Jiao made these dishes with his own hands, but Wu Jiao asked someone to bring them over, and Feng Shu was already very grateful.
Wu Jiao was afraid that Feng Shu would be too embarrassed to eat when he was there, so he prepared to leave and asked Feng Shu to eat well, besides, it was Qi Hou's eyes, staring at Feng Shu's food, his eyes were wolfish, and he wanted to pounce on him. Feeling like grabbing food, Wu Jiao was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, Qihou would really go grab food with Feng Shu.
Wu Jiu took Qihou and hurried away, while Zhao Jia opened the lids of the meals, carefully poured a bowl of soup for Feng Shu, then stirred it with a small dagger, cooled it a bit, brought it over, and supported Feng Shu again Shu sat up, put a soft quilt on his back, tidied it up, and then prepared to feed Feng Shu soup.
Feng Shu stared at Zhao Jia suspiciously. Zhao Jia's scalp was numb from his stare, and he said, "What are you looking at?"
Feng Shu said in a hoarse voice, "Could it be that you poisoned the soup?"
When he said this, Zhao Jia immediately laughed angrily, and said, "Jia wants to harm you, you died last night, and you still need to be poisoned?"
Feng Shu still looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Why are you so fake and kind all of a sudden, what are your plans?"
Zhao Jia was really going to piss him off. Feng Shu is a heartless person. Zhao Jia took care of him all night last night. He didn't even blink his eyelids. Now his eyes are blue, but Feng Shu thought he was Uneasy kindness.
But it's true, Feng Shu and Zhao Jia can be said to be old enemies. Before the two of them, one was Qin and the other was Chi Di, so there was already a festival. Feng Shu even stabbed Zhao Jia with a sword. Feng Shu was killed.
Later, the two of them wanted to play tricks, and they both came to the state of Chu. It could be said that enemies did not get together. Zhao Jia and Feng Shu were half-forced every time they got along. Zhao Jia was out of face, so Feng Shu Shu thought that Zhao Jia hated him so much, so he naturally didn't expect Zhao Jia to take care of him so carefully.
Zhao Jia fed him the soup angrily, but still cautiously said, "If I don't feed you enough, how can I eat you?"
When Feng Shu heard this, his hairs were about to explode, and he said warily, "I...I am a wounded patient!"
Feng Shu said so, but his cheeks were also a little red, and it seemed that he was reddened a lot in an instant, and he had a little blood.
Zhao Jia looked at it and laughed, and said, "Don't worry, Jia is not such a beast."
Hearing what he said, Feng Shu rolled his eyes and said, "If you are not a beast, who else is a beast?"
Zhao Jia suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "Lord Zuo Shi speaks with conscience, every time Jia serves Lord Zuo Shi, isn't he also submissive, and Master Zuo Shi is crying and begging Jia to give you more?" .”
Feng Shu's face turned even redder, and he panted heavily, and said, "You...you..."
When Feng Shu got angry, his neck hurt immediately, but Zhao Jia said, "Your Majesty Zuo Shi, you'd better get well soon, you are hurt like this, but Jia was ordered by the king to take care of you. If you are not good every day, Jia will take care of you every day." You, not only you are upset, Jia is also upset about taking care of you."
Feng Shu was so angry by Zhao Jia that he could no longer speak. He always felt that he was the one who was angry. How could Zhao Jia be so eloquent? He wanted to tear his mouth apart to relieve his anger.
Feng Shu didn't know that Zhao Jia was aggressive, so he really opened his mouth and drank the soup obediently. Zhao Jia taunted him while coaxing Feng Shu to drink the soup.
Feng Shu lay on the bed for four or five days, and he finally got better. He bickered with Zhao Jia every day and became more energetic every day.
That day Yanjiu led the team back, and Wu Jiao couldn't wait to summon Yanjiu when he saw Yanjiu's return.
Yanjiu reported: "Your Majesty, there are quite a few guards in the E Kingdom, and there are many Pu people inside. They are heavily guarded when entering and leaving the border towns. It seems that they have already learned about the capture of the King of E."
Wu Jiu handed the two blood-stained terrain maps to Yanjiu, and said, "Look at this map, is it true?"
Yanjiu took it over and took a look, his eyes were filled with surprise, the more he looked, the more surprised he was, and he said: "It's true, it's true! It's absolutely true. The terrain is exactly the same as that of E country, and the strength of the garrison is also very reasonable. According to Yanjiu's understanding of the Pu people, at least [-]% of this picture is true."
Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, the things Feng Shu desperately snatched seemed to be useful, Qi Hou said with a smile: "That's great, when shall we send troops?"
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "The sooner the better."
Wu Jiu immediately asked Yanjiu to prepare to send troops to attack E State. With the topographic map in their hands, they could easily attack E State, capture the E palace, and drive the Pu people out of E State.
Food, grass and luggage were ready soon, and the army was about to leave. Wu Jiao was worried about Feng Shu's health, so he came to Feng Shu's tent to go in and have a look.
As a result, as soon as Wu Jiu and Qi Hou arrived at the door, they heard a strange voice inside. Feng Shu's voice was crying and said: "You bastard... bastard, you are taking advantage of others, and my wound still hurts."
Then came Zhao Jia's voice, and said with a smile: "It's just a kiss, and it's not like I haven't kissed before. Mr. Zuo Shi also enjoyed it very much, and even grabbed my back."
Wu Jiu turned his eyes immediately, and exchanged a glance with Marquis Qi.
Zhao Jia's voice said, "Do you want to do it again?"
Feng Shu's voice said: "Get out of here! I seem to have heard noises outside just now, go out and have a look."
Zhao Jia said, "I didn't even hear a sound."
When Wu Jiu heard flirting and cursing inside, he felt helpless and coughed hard.
When Wu Jiao coughed like this, the people inside were startled. After Wu Jiao reminded him, he paused for a moment, then walked in, and said with a smile, "Zuo Shi, how is the wound healing?"
Feng Shu lay on the couch and pretended to be dead, but his face was flushed and swollen, he couldn't bear it anymore, he stammered and said: "Feng...Feng Shu pays respects to my king, sees... Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Zuo Shi is tired, so there is no need to be polite."
Feng Shu always felt that there was something in Wu Jiu's words, and his face turned red, while Zhao Jia stood aside with a calm face, and said, "Your Majesty, Master Zuo Shi's wound healed quickly, and he will take care of him for a while. Day, it must be great."
Wu Jiu said, "This is all thanks to General Zhao."
Feng Shu still felt that there was something in Wu Jiu's words, but Zhao Jia said calmly, "Thank you, King, for your compliment."
Feng Shu really knelt down to Zhao Jian's righteous face, and he answered the questions fluently, why didn't Feng Shu realize that it was a compliment to him?
Wu Jiu said: "The widow is planning to set off to attack E in two days. Zuo Shi is inconvenient, so he should stay in the camp."
When Feng Shu heard this, he immediately said: "Feng Shu's health has recovered, he doesn't need to rest at all, he can follow the team, and he will never slow down, please learn from the king!"
Wu Jiu wanted to appease Feng Shu, but Zhao Jia saw that Feng Shu was in such a hurry, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although Master Zuo Shi's body has not yet recovered, his sincerity can be seen, why don't Master Zuo Shi follow the team?" , Jiahui has the full authority to take care of Lord Zuo Shi and ensure his safety. Besides, it would not be safe if Lord Zuo Shi is left behind, and the Pu people are cunning, and they might sneak attack Zuo Shi who is alone."
After Zhao Jia said that, Wu Jiao had no choice but Feng Shu also looked like he wanted to follow the team, so Wu Jiao could only nod his head and said, "Okay, but Zuo Shi must not be aggressive, if you feel uncomfortable, speak up immediately. "
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou left soon, Feng Shu heaved a sigh of relief, Zhao Jia raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I never thought you would risk your life for the position of Zuo Shi."
When Feng Shu heard this, he glared at Zhao Jia and said, "Is there anything wrong with being loyal to the emperor?"
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Yes, quite right."
Listening to his tone, Feng Shu always felt it was strange, there was an inexplicable sour smell.
The army set off soon. Their camp was originally temporary, and they dismantled the camp after they left. Because they had a defense plan with soldiers and horses in their hands, they were not afraid of the Pu people at all.
It's just a pity that after so long, the people who sent out to search didn't see the shadow of Young Master Diao, and he didn't know where he went, but he disappeared.
The army quickly moved to the vicinity of E State and set up camp. They chose a city gate where the Pu people had a weak garrison as an assault point.
In order to take care of Feng Shu, Zhao Jia didn't take the initiative to take credit. Wu Jiu ordered Yanjiu to lead the troops to attack the city, and Zhao Jia had no objection. Now he put all his heart and soul on the injured Feng Shu.
Feng Shu, on the other hand, "simplely" thought that Zhao Jia really wanted to make her fat and fat, but doing that kind of thing with herself made her very embarrassed every day, and she would blush when she saw Zhao Jia, Feng Shu was quite good-looking , slender and temperamental, Zhao Jia is happy to see him blushing.
Wu Jiu ordered Yanjiu to attack the city gate, and gave Yanjiu black gunpowder, which immediately blew up the gate of the border city of E State into cannon fodder. It didn't take half a day for the army of Chu State to drive straight in and directly captured the border city of E State. March forward and set up camp, ready to continue to go deep into the interior of Hubei.
The Pu people who occupied the state of E knew about this matter very quickly, and they were very flustered. When the people of the Pu people heard that they had captured the king of the state of E, they thought that the state of Chu might have obtained their military and horse defense map. Who will be stronger now? It was immediately obvious who was weak, and since they couldn't mobilize a large number of troops in a short period of time, the Pu people had no way to fight against the soldiers of Chu State.
What's more, the Pu people occupied the state of E. Although they controlled the high-level officials of the state of E, they also controlled the army of the state of E, but the people of the Pu people were mermaids, which caused public resentment and great internal conflicts. Many soldiers of the state of E were unwilling to support them. The trend and the continuous uprisings also caused the Pu people a headache, and they couldn't fight at all.
Seeing that Wu Jiu's team was victorious, this was not a water battle, and the Pu people had no advantage at all, and they were about to be forced to the capital of E State.
In less than ten days, Wu Jiu's army was like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and even approached the capital of E State. Outside the capital of E State, the Chu army had already lined up neatly, standing clangingly, each pointing to a long sword and wearing black armor.
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi also wore black armor and stood on horseback. Behind them, the national flag of Chu was fluttering in the wind of late autumn.
The Pu people on the city tower were so frightened that they had to close the city gate and dare not fight at all.
Yanjiu came over to ask Wu Jiu for instructions, and Wu Jiu said, "There is no need to forcefully attack, the capital of E has no reserves, and we will besiege outside the city. It won't take a few days for them to open the door and surrender."
Yanjiu nodded, and everyone kept watch until the third day.
The king of the E Kingdom has nothing to do, he has always been a fish and meat for the people. After the Pu people entered the E Kingdom, they plundered and enslaved them without any scruples. The food in the city was not enough for a few days. Most importantly, Wu Jiao cut them off Without food, they can survive without food, but without water to drink, they will die of thirst.
Early in the morning of the third day, the Pu people in the country of E couldn't stand it any longer. A general of the Pu people went up to the tower and asked for an interpreter.
Wu Jiu was still in the tent, he was putting on his clothes after getting up early, Yan Jiu rushed in quickly, Qi Hou hurriedly put on the outer robe for Wu Jiu.
Yanjiu didn't pay attention to that much, and said: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, and the Pu people have become stubborn again!"
Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on, but he heard that the Pu people were shouting on the tower, so he quickly dressed, came out of the tent, and went to the gate of the tower.
The Pu people above were still shouting, and someone translated, saying: "Listen, King Chu—if you don't retreat, we are going to perish anyway, so let's throw down a hundred people from Hubei every day until you retreat. !"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was so angry that he felt his head "hum--", the people of the Pu people were really shameless to the extreme, they wanted to massacre the people of E country if they couldn't beat them.
E State and Chu State belonged to the same clan, and the Pu people grasped this point.
The general of the Pu family said a few more words, and the translator said: "If you don't believe me, let me open your eyes now—"
As he was speaking, just as he finished speaking, he saw the general of the Pu clan next to him suddenly stretch out his hand, and a small figure was thrown down from the tower in an instant. It turned out to be a one-year-old child!
Wu Jiu took a deep breath, and everyone was stunned. At this moment, Qi Hou squinted his eyes suddenly, exerted force on his legs, and used his strength to turn over from the horse. He came out in a hurry without any armor, and his robe was in the strong wind. Flying constantly, like a surprise eagle, rushing out quickly, jumped up suddenly, "Tap!" kicked on the wall of the tower, followed by two "tap" sounds, and leaned against the wall. With the strength of the face, he jumped up quickly, pulled up, and caught the child thrown down in this flash of lightning.
The child was frightened, and suddenly burst into tears, "Wow--" There were also captured E country people on it, all shouting, screaming constantly, and possibly the parents of the child, shouting: "Child--I child!!"
Qihou hugged the child and rescued the child without any danger. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Jiao suddenly squinted his eyes and shouted, "Be careful! Run!!"
Seeing that there were archers lying in ambush on the top of the city tower, the general of the Pu tribe waved his hand, and the archers fired all their arrows, making a sound of "swish, swish", and all the arrows shot at Qihou and the child under the city gate. .
Qihou squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold the child in his arms, and ran back quickly. The army was beyond the range of the Pu people, so there was no safety issue, but Qihou was within the range, how could he run safely? The arrow flew so fast, Wu Jiu's hands were covered in cold sweat for a moment.
When Yanjiu and Zhao Jia saw it, they all got off their horses immediately, snatched the shields of the soldiers around them, stacked the two shields together to form a high wall, and then rushed out quickly and ran towards Qihou.
Yanjiu and Zhao Jia held their shields and moved forward quickly, but the area of the two shields was too small, and they were almost shot into a hornet's nest before they bordered on the Qihou.
As soon as Wu Jiu saw it, he immediately ordered: "Set up the formation, save people!"
The soldiers all imitated the movements of Zhao Jia and Yanjiu, and built the shields up and down, and then a large number of soldiers rushed out, shouting chant, and quickly caught up with Yanjiu and Zhao Jia who were helpless in front of them. After connecting the two people into the formation, the soldiers holding shields immediately greeted Qihou and the child, and escorted Qihou and the child into the formation.
Wu Jiu didn't dare to fight, and when he saw that the crowd had saved Qihou and the child, he said sharply, "Retreat!"
The soldiers with shields retreated quickly, still erected their shields, and quickly got out of the range of the Pu people, only to be safe.
Wu Jiu was covered in cold sweat, his clothes were drenched, when he saw Qi Hou came back, he quickly said, "Are you injured?!"
Qi Hou handed the child to Wu Jiu first, then raised his hand, there was a scratch on the back of his hand, and said: "It's nothing, only a skin injury."
The child was frightened and was still too young, crying loudly in Wu Jiao's arms, coughing with snot and snot from the crying tears, Wu Jiao quickly patted the child to comfort him, Yanjiu threw the shield and said: "The group of grandchildren , to come to Yin, Your Majesty, what should I do like this?"
The Pu people on the top of the city were still yelling, repeating what they said just now, and pushed half of the people of E Kingdom to the outside of the city wall to demonstrate. As long as they use a little more force, those people will fall from the tower. Even if Hou can save one person, it is impossible to save the people of a city.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, his face was filled with dark emotions, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Temporary withdrawal of troops."
Yanjiu has a bad temper and immediately said: "Your Majesty! This..."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Zhong behind him quickly stopped Yanjiu, not letting him continue, Yanjiu's words just stopped.
Wu Jiu ordered the Chu army to withdraw their troops, and soon the army withdrew from the gate of the E country's blockade. Not only that, Wu Jiu also ordered the troops to withdraw from the E country.
Obviously, he was almost able to take back the entire E country, entered the E palace, and arrested all the Pu people who occupied the E country and fished the people. However, at this juncture, Wu Jiao ordered all the Chu troops to withdraw from the E country.
Yanjiu seemed completely unable to accept this order, but compared to Yanjiu, the others were much calmer.
The army withdrew from the capital, retreated continuously, and set up camp in the suburbs at night. Wu Jiao sent an order for the generals of Chu to come to the shogunate to discuss matters.
When everyone entered the shogunate, they saw Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi sitting on the mat, with a map on the case in front of them. After entering, they saluted first, and then they all took their seats.
Wu Jiao said calmly: "Generals, I have summoned you today, I think everyone knows what I want to say."
Yanjiu was the first to say: "Pu people are too deceitful! Your Majesty, Yanjiu asks for orders to lead a team of troops to attack the capital of E State and enter the city!"
Zhao Jia frowned, and said: "You Sima, don't be reckless, the lives of the people in the city are at stake, if the Pu people hear any disturbance, it will be the people who will suffer."
Wu Jiu nodded. He agreed with Zhao Jia's words and said, "General Zhao is right."
Yanjiu said anxiously: "Then what should I do?!"
Qihou sat next to him. He didn't speak, but he wasn't idle either. He was "milking the baby".
Qihou held the newly rescued baby in his arms. The baby was hungry and wanted to eat. They were marching and fighting here, and there was no goat milk for him to drink, so Wu Jiao asked someone to make some rice porridge. Give the porridge to the baby.
At this time, Qi Hou was holding the baby in one hand and a small dagger in the other, blowing cold rice porridge and feeding it to the baby little by little.
Seeing that Yanjiu spoke loudly, Qihou was afraid that he would scare the baby. When the baby heard them talking, his eyes widened and he even forgot to eat the porridge.
Qi Hou quickly said: "You Sima, please be safe and don't be impatient."
Immediately he said to Wu Jiu, "Second brother, don't play tricks, tell everyone your idea."
Wu Jiu laughed, reached out and buttoned the map, and said, "Everyone, we are now in a dilemma. Although the Chu army is powerful, the Pu people use the people as a threat. If our Chu army forcibly breaks through the city, what will happen in the end?" It is the common people who are suffering, and both losers, therefore, the widow thinks that we should respond in a roundabout way."
"roundabout?"
Everyone listened attentively, Wu Jiao nodded and said: "I am going to send a large army to attack Baipu. This time, our Chu army will switch from defense to attack and attack Baipu people's lair!"
Some of the generals suddenly realized, while others disagreed, and said strangely: "Your Majesty, this... this Baipu is in the depths of the barbarians, and our army has never traveled so deep. If you don't accept it, you have no intention of fighting."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't want the soldiers to really fight."
When he said this, Yanjiu and Zhao Jia suddenly showed stunned expressions, and then Wu Jiu continued: "I sent a large army to attack Puren's lair, and joined forces with neighboring countries to send envoys to create this situation again. Let the Pu people know about the rumors on the side, so the Baipu people will definitely deal with our Chu army."
In fact, this is a very simple way to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and attack the old nest of the Pu people with all their strength. Because it is too deep, the Chu army may not be able to adapt to the climate and cannot fight at all. Therefore, Wu Jiu just wanted to make a momentum to unite many countries. There are a lot of Pu people in the E country, so they will naturally consider whether they should send troops to support the rescue. If their own territory is overthrown, what's the point of occupying a small E country?It is impossible for the Pu people to lose the big because of small things.
As Wu Jiu said, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the southwest corner of E State, which is where the Chu State of E State and Baipu meet. When the Pu people withdrew, they raided them with troops and horses, scattered their troops, and at the same time sent troops to rush into the country of E, so that as soon as the Pu people's army dispersed, they could be defeated by surprise."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, with joyful expressions on their faces, as if they all agreed with what Wu Jiu said.
Wu Jiu then said: "Since all the generals agree with the opinion of the widow, then the widow will issue orders."
He said, thought for a while, and continued: "You Sima."
"The humble general is here!"
Yanjiu hurriedly took a step forward, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands and clasped his fists, Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "You Sima is familiar with the terrain of E country, take two teams of soldiers and horses, and lie in ambush near the country of E, and wait for the troops supported by the Pu people to go out of E country." After the country, go straight to the capital, and be sure to drive out the villain who has occupied the magpie's nest!"
"Yes! The humble general takes orders!"
Yanjiu responded immediately.
Wu Jiu then said, "General Zhao."
Zhao Jia hurried forward, also knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "The humble general is here."
Wu Jiu said: "General Zhao immediately led two thousand soldiers and horses, rushed to the southwest, quickly garrisoned troops, and prepared to secretly attack the rescued Pu army."
"Yes! Jia takes orders!"
Both Yanjiu and Zhao Jia, the two military officials, had their uses, Wu Jiao thought for a while, then looked at Qu Zhong, and said, "Gongzheng."
Qu Zhong quickly stepped forward to salute, and said, "The important thing is."
Wu Jiu said: "I have ordered you to set off and go to Ba and Shu as envoys, and spread the news that Chu is going to join forces with Ba and Shu to attack Pu."
Qu Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will accept my order again!"
After Wu Jiu finished speaking, he said to Feng Shu: "Zuo Shizhong has not yet healed and is not suitable for running around, so in the barracks, he created public opinion that our Chu State is going to attack Baipu on a large scale. We must let the Pu people, everyone Everyone knows."
Feng Shu quickly said: "Yes, Feng Shu understands."
Everyone immediately had their jobs. Yanjiu, Zhao Jia, Qu Zhong, and Feng Shu knelt on the ground, performing their duties and taking orders. Qihou hugged the baby, and while feeding the rice paste, he said: "Second brother , what about the solitary? What can the solitary do?"
Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi, thought for a while, seemed to be thinking about it seriously, but in the end he didn't think about anything, so he said lightly, "Hey the child."
Qihou is dignified as the king of a country and the overlord of a powerful country. Everyone else has earth-shattering responsibilities, and Qihou's responsibility is to feed the children. Yes, suddenly "giggle" laughed, and the laugh was full of joy, and he raised his little hand to pat it, and yelled "ahhh" twice, seeming to agree with Wu Jiao's words.
Qihou nodded helplessly on the little baby's nose and said, "Little guy, drink your porridge."
The little baby said "ahah" twice, and even wiped his nose with his hand, looking decent.
After Wu Jiu gave orders, everyone performed their duties, and soon the Pu people heard about Chu's plan to make a big move, and discovered the movement of Chu's army. They also heard that the Chu king sent Qu's people to Bashu. Shi, ready to discuss the matter of joining forces, so the Pu people were suddenly scared.
Although their territory is not small, their strength is very scattered, and they cannot compete with Chu State at all. If Chu State really sends out a large army, although they will not be destroyed, they will still suffer heavy losses.
After a period of stalemate among the Pu people, there was finally a movement. Just as Wu Jiu expected, the Pu people really withdrew a large number of soldiers from the E country, preparing to support them back.
The army of the Pu people set off and left the country of E. Just when they were about to trek for a long distance, they suddenly heard the sound of killing and killed many soldiers of the state of Chu from all directions. The ship has been improved and has become very fast. There is also an elongated hook. Hearing the sound of "click! click-click!", the long hook instantly hooked those Pu boats that were about to escape. The family boat is too small, and there is no way to escape at full speed. The hook on the hook has a long barb, and once the hook is hooked, it is basically impossible to untie it.
The supporting Pu soldiers hadn't gone far, and they were immediately defeated, jumping into the water and fleeing in all directions.
Zhao Jia then ordered the Chu army to use portable hooks to refuse to catch people, and the escaped Pu people were brought back by the hooks before they could swim far.
This side of the Pu army was attacked by surprise, and the other side Yanjiu led people to rush into the country of E, and fought all the way to the gate of the capital of the country of E. , It is not enough to contend at all, and wants to close the door without fighting.
However, Yanjiu had black powder in his hand, and wanted to blow open the city gate by surprise, but before Yanjiu had time to give the order, he heard the sound of "Boom----!!!" from the city gate, and opened it by himself. Unbearable to be humiliated and oppressed, he even fought with the defenders of the Pu nationality, and some people rushed to the tower and opened the city gate.
As soon as the city gate was opened, Yanjiu immediately shouted: "Siege the city!!"
The black Chu army, like a black wave, pushed forward violently in the strong wind, and rushed into the capital of E State in an instant. The army was defeated, and those who dropped their helmets and armor scattered and fled.
The supply troops led by Wu Jiu and Qihou entered from the state of E, and began to release grain and food along the way. Let Tang Wu lead a team of medical officers to help the people and build shelters for refuge. Finally arrived at the capital of E country.
