Chapter 152: Evil Seed (2)
With an aftertaste, he said: "I didn't expect that cheap father of yours to do so many heart-wrenching things. Fortunately... I don't feel guilty, so don't worry, second brother."
Qi Hou spoke so brazenly, but Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and gave him a contemptuous look. That look gave Qi Hou a feeling of being seen through, and he didn't know why.
Marquis Qi didn't know that Wu Jiu had traveled through time. Wu Jiu had read history books. Duke Huan of Qi was not only the head of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a famous playboy in history. He had only nine wives, let alone concubines.
Qihou admitted that he was indeed extravagant in his previous life. As a overlord, Qihou's ambitions were also unlimited. He felt that the military power, treasures, and beauties in the world should all be his own, so he was so arrogant.
However, after Qihou died tragically, he suddenly realized a lot. How many of his harem were sincerely treating him well, they were nothing more than fancying his military power and his wealth. When he had nothing, no one treated him sincerely. he.
This is not what Qihou wanted. He started again, but his ambitions inflated even more. What he wanted was not what military power and wealth could satisfy, but sincerity.
Seeing Wu Jiu looking sideways at you, Qihou coughed, and said with some guilt: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "See if Duke Qi is a scumbag in his heart."
Qihou coughed again, put his arms around Wu Jiu's waist, and brought him into his arms. With a hoarse voice, he said in his sexiest and most charming voice: "There is only second brother in my heart, and I will never be alone." It won't change."
As he spoke, he was about to lower his head to bite Wu Jiu's lips. Wu Jiu hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, and said in disgust, "Go wash your mouth, it smells like stinky tofu."
Qihou was shocked in an instant, after all he had such a handsome face that everyone in the world flocked to, and he was so affectionate, Wu Jiao actually detested him.
Qi Hou felt aggrieved and said: "Second brother, you despise loneliness, and loneliness makes you sad."
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, and Qi Hou said, "Second brother is the only one who can despise Gu."
Wu Jiu said suspiciously: "Is that because no one else has seen your eating?"
Qi Hou was choked immediately, feeling speechless, what the second brother said made sense.
Wu Jiu ordered to reward the three armies. Pan Chong arranged food, grass and military pay, and sent them to the front line of Fushan soon. At the same time, Qin State was also preparing to send troops to attack the Yong State. Not allowed to enter, sent back directly.
Although Yun Guo had a very temper, at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything at all, and left in disgrace.
Soon, Qin's army was already on the border with Yongguo, attacking Yongguo from the back, while Chu State was waiting to drive the Xirong people back to Fushan, and then attacked Yongguo from the front from the back of Fushan. The front and the back of the Qin State and the Qin State are both strong soldiers, and they will definitely be able to take down the Yong State in one fell swoop.
Wu corrected waiting for the good news from Lu Jili, and prepared to let Lu Jili and Qin Guoguo division. After the victory in the first battle, there was no news from Lu Jili. The most worrying thing is that it is not just Lu Jili There was no news from Li, and there was no news from the team that delivered the food and military pay. For some reason, they suddenly lost contact with Ying Du, and they never reported back, and it was unknown whether the food had been delivered.
Wu Jiu also went to court in the bedroom on the road that day, but he didn't see Grand Sima Pan Chong. Wu Jiu asked, "Where is Grand Sima?"
Zuo Sima Prince Zheng hurriedly stood up and said: "Go back to the king, just before going to the court, there was an urgent report from the border, and Da Sima was caught, and he might come here soon."
When he said this, all the others looked at Wang Zizheng, as if they were guessing what the urgent report was. What can be called an urgent report now must be the battle of Fushan, or the battle between Qin and Yong.
The literati and bureaucrats all speculated, but they didn't think there was anything bad in their minds, and said, "It must be that Fushan has sent another good news."
"Yes, yes, the people of Xirong are totally vulnerable."
"Yongguo is absolutely doomed this time, with Qin's help, it's not worth mentioning at all."
The scholar-bureaucrats were discussing, when they heard the sound of "tattling", footsteps, Pan Chong hurried in from outside, all the scholar-bureaucrats looked at him with "shua!" and locked on Pan Chong.
Everyone was still eagerly waiting for Pan Chong to announce the good news, but they didn't know that Pan Chong was holding a roll of lambskin in his hand, but his face turned dark into the bottom of the pot. When everyone saw it, they immediately "thumped" in their hearts, and suddenly felt that the matter might not be simple.
Wu Jiu watched Pan Chong walk in and said, "Great Sima, is this the military newspaper in Fushan?"
Pan Chong immediately cupped his hands and said, "That's right, just now Cai Chong received the urgent report from Fushan, it's...it's the military report from the general asking for support."
"what?"
"Request support?"
"Didn't you scare the Xirong people?"
"What's going on? So suddenly?"
The ministers immediately started making noise, and everyone was taken aback. The current situation is that the Qin State sent out heavy troops to attack the Yong State. Yang Chuang rushed to the front and defeated the Xirong people.
The success news again and again made everyone dizzy with joy, and they never expected that under such a situation of great power, Lu Jili would suddenly send an urgent report asking for support.
Wu Jiu was also a little surprised, and said, "What's the matter?"
Pan Chong quickly said: "Your Majesty, I set off from the capital of Ying a few days ago to reward the grain and grass teams of the three armies...there are rebels."
No wonder Pan Chong was so dark-faced. It turned out to be the case. Starting from the capital city of Ying, rewarding the troops of the three armies, carrying a lot of food, grass and military pay, on the way to Fushan, the supply general rebelled against the state of Chu and took refuge in the Xirong people.
not only that……
Pan Chong said: "The rebel army cooperated with the Xirong people inside and outside. Our army was defeated and retreated ten miles, and... and... General Lu Yangchuang was captured."
When Pan Chong said this, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone was uproarious. The result was completely unexpected to everyone. They had won battles all the way, but they were defeated by the rebels.
Lu Jili had no idea that he had taken refuge with the Xirong people. At that time, Lu Jili received an urgent report from the supply general, saying that they were ambushed by the Xirong people, and there were some casualties. He asked for support. .
Lu Jili did not doubt that he was there, so he immediately sent General Lu Yangchuang to support him and escort the food and grass team to join the main force.
Unaware that the supply general was cheating, Lu Yangchuang took people to meet him, and soon found the grain and grass troops, but the grain and grass troops were not ambushed at all, but ambushed them.
Lu Yangchuang was seriously injured and was captured by the Xirong people, but the rebellious general continued to escort food and grass to join Lu Jili's team.
Lu Yangchuang went away for several days and didn't come back, and there was no news. Lu Jili was very worried. Although Lu Yangchuang was very skilled in martial arts, he was still a fledgling child. He was still a half-grown child with no experience in the battlefield. After winning the battle, I feel proud in my heart, and I am tricked by others.
Soon the luggage team came back, and Lu Jili naturally wanted to go out to greet him, but when he arrived at the gate of Xingyuan, he didn't see Lu Yangchuang. Lu Jili hurriedly asked, but the luggage general cried and said that they were attacked halfway. The Xirong people ambushed, Lu Yangchuang was captured, and many brothers died in battle.
As soon as Lu Jili heard it, there was a "bang--" in his head. He knew what it was like to be a battle uniform. Because Lu Jili was a nobleman of the Ludi Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom wanted to subdue the Ludi Kingdom, so they treated Lu Jili favorably. Ji Li is lucky.
Now that Lu Yangchuang has fallen into the hands of the Xirong people, there is only one consequence, that is not death, but life is worse than death.
What's more, Lu Yangchuang is General Pi, and his status in the army is not low. The Xirong people will definitely torture him and force him to confess. Lu Jili's mind was in chaos. Filled with anger.
Because Lu Yangchuang fought the enemy bravely after entering the barracks, he always ran at the front and ate and lived with the soldiers, so he was loved and loved. When the soldiers heard this, they became excited and prepared to kill the Xirong people In front of him, Lu Yangchuang was rescued.
They didn't know that there was a ghost in the supply army, and they were still discussing the situation in the shogunate that night, but they were attacked by "our own people" in the middle of the night. The supply general burned all the food, grass and military pay in the camp, and massacred Chu soldiers. horse.
Lu Jili led troops to resist. Although they saved many Chu troops, they had no time to save their food and grass. impossible things.
Lu Jili led the troops to retreat, but was flanked by the Xirong people. The rebels and the Xirong people had agreed long ago to attack Lu Jili from both sides. Lu Jili's team fought hard and finally broke out of the siege and re-camped ten miles away. .
However, the current situation is very critical, because they have not received the military rations to reward the three armies at all, and the original rations have been burned cleanly. The soldiers risked burns and desperately rescued some rations, but it was not enough for one person. Not enough to eat a meal, let alone fight a war.
Lu Jili wrote an urgent document and sent it back to Yingdu, asking Wu Jiu to deliver the army rations and send reinforcements to them to fight to the death with the Xirong people, avenge the dead soldiers, and rescue the captured Lu Yang window.
Wu Jiu looked at the document, his expression was not good, it was very gloomy, as if it was going to rain at any moment.
Pan Chong immediately knelt down on his knees and said: "Chong's negligence in management has caused such a traitor to appear in the army. The loss of soldiers and generals has brought shame to Chu. Please punish me!"
Hearing Pan Chong's report, the ministers were all taken aback. He knelt down and realized that some people attacked Pan Chong immediately, while others said: "From what a villain sees, it's not the big Sima's fault. Maybe General Lu I am a meticulous worker, if not, how could my Chu army have been defeated so thoroughly?"
"Yes, yes, my lord, we can no longer send reinforcements to General Lu. It is better to recall him and send another general to the front."
Hearing the noise, panic, and accusations from the officials, Wu Jiu felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest. In this battle, Wu Jiu resisted all opinions and supported Lu Jili as the main general. If Lu Jili was defeated, those who have The scholar-officials who talk about their heads are even more irresponsible.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "According to what you all said, if General Lu is not reinforced, what will the soldiers of our Chu State do? Just leave it alone? Wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of the people of our Chu State?"
Everyone was discussing in low voices, panicked for a while, and didn't know what to do. If they couldn't beat back the Xirong people, they wouldn't be able to join forces with Qin. Qin would attack Yong by itself, even if its troops were strong, it would be difficult to conquer Yong. At that time, Qin State has been supporting for a long time, and if there is no reinforcement from Chu State, it is likely to break the contract and withdraw its troops, then Chu State will be isolated and helpless again.
The current situation is to pull one hair and move the whole body.
Wu Jiu said in a deep voice: "If General Lu is sent back, who do you think is competent!?"
When he said this, everyone stopped talking. To be honest, none of them are familiar with the Xirong people's style of play, and no one has a chance of winning. Qin Gongzi Zhao Jia is familiar with the Xirong people's style of play. The Herong people have detoured for several generations, but now Zhao Jia is about to rush to Qin State again, and attack Yong State from behind with Qin State.
So everyone was silent, and the Lu bedroom became quiet in an instant, wishing that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
At this moment, a sudden laughter was heard, and a deep voice came from outside the hall, saying, "Come alone to fight this battle!"
He said, the eyes of everyone "shua!" They all gathered at the entrance of the Lu Palace, Wu Jiu also looked up, and saw a tall man striding in from the outside, he was wearing a black Qi Dynasty robe , with a tall and straight figure, walking like a king, and under the attention of everyone, he strode in without stage fright.
As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately started making noise again. It turned out to be Marquis Qi!
Qi Hou walked into the hall, stopped in the middle of the hall, clasped his fists and cupped his hands and said: "I Qi State and Chu State have been on good terms for generations. Now that Chu State is in trouble, our Qi State cannot stand idly by. Although I am not talented, but for I still know a thing or two about the fighting style of the Rong people, if the king of Chu does not give up, I can let Gu have a try."
Everyone stared at Qihou, very surprised. After all, Qihou was the former monarch of Qi. Even if he is no longer the monarch, he still has the status. Qihou suddenly stood up and asked for a fight, which was really unexpected.
Qihou did have experience fighting the soldiers, but it was actually the experience of his previous life, and the most of his current experience in this life is dealing with the Beidi people.
In his previous life, Qi State had developed and grown, and was no longer satisfied with dominating the east, so he began to extend his hand to the Central Plains, and helped the princes and countries resist the Rong and Di people many times. The most famous battle was the Cunxing Rescue.
Because of Qi's generous rescue, many countries surrendered and responded one after another. It can be said that Qi Hou became the overlord not by relying on strong financial resources and force, but largely by relying on the support of other countries.
Although Qihou has no experience in fighting the soldiers in his life, he did not know how many times he fought off the soldiers himself in his previous life, making the soldiers and Di people frightened by the news, so Qihou naturally has this confidence, and it is not just a momentary headache and braggadocio .
The literati were surprised at first, and then began to think about it, saying: "This... Although Duke Qi has good intentions, but... But this is a matter of our Chu country, and Qi Gong is not from our Chu country. ..."
The literati said so, and Wu Jiu was really afraid that Qihou would suddenly say that he wanted to be the hero of the state of Chu, but the facts proved that Qihou would only do it to Wu Jiu, and in front of others, it was not acting like a baby. It's pressure and demonstrations.
Marquis Qi turned his head to look at the scholar-bureaucrat of the Ruo family with a smile, and said with a smile, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but that rebellious supply general is from Chu? I heard that he is from old Chu."
When he said this, the scholar-officials immediately fell silent. Qihou was right. The rebellious scholar-bureaucrats were still from Chu, but they still rebelled.
The scholar-bureaucrats dared not speak. Qi Hou looked up at Wu Jiu and said, "Please, King Chu, make a decisive decision!"
Wu Jiao squinted his eyes and stared at him, standing in the hall with his waist straight, Qihou was like a king, the people of Xirong were cunning, Wu Jiao didn't believe in Qihou, but he was very worried, if something happened to Qihou, it wasn't just Qihou. The affairs of Hou alone also implicated the relationship between Qi and Chu.
Wu Jiu stared at Marquis Qi for a long time, and suddenly said: "Okay, the Duke of Qi is here to help, and our country of Chu is very grateful. Since Duke Qi went out in person, our country of Chu also wants to express the respect of the country of Qi. I would like to cooperate with Duke Qi. Let's go out together and attack Xirong."
As he said, the officials almost exploded, not only the officials, but also Marquis Qi was taken aback and wanted to speak quickly, but Wu Jiu didn't give him this opportunity at all, and immediately said: "Dear Sima, prepare quickly, I have to personally Send troops to support General Lu."
When Pan Chong saw Wu Jiu's eyes, he immediately said nothing nonsense, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my king!"
Wu Jiu soon left the court, walked directly into the inner hall of Lu bedroom, and headed for the small bedroom, while all the officials left the outer hall one after another, went to the political affairs hall, and continued to discuss the matter of reinforcements.
Qi Hou seemed a little anxious, and he didn't care about so many etiquettes. He directly strode up the steps of the King of Chu's seat, and then, under the eyes of everyone, with his long legs, he chased Wu Jiao into the small bedroom.
Qihou chased after him and said, "Second brother, why do you want to conscript yourself again? You have only come back not long ago, so you should be in the capital city of Ying."
Wu Jiu turned his head and squinted at Qi Hou. Qi Hou was so majestic in the hall just now, that proper kingly demeanor suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Wu Jiao very dog-leggedly.
Wu Jiu turned his head, stretched out his hand to squeeze Marquis Qi's chin, and said, "Duke Qi is allowed to conscript himself, but the widow is not allowed to conscript himself?"
Qihou said: "Naturally that's not what I mean. I'm just worried about my second brother. This time the Xirong people are coming aggressively. What's more, the situation in Fushan is not good. Second brother..."
As he was speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Jiu's words, and said: "It is because of the bad situation that the widows are going to follow, and I am also worried about you."
When Qihou heard this, the expression on his face instantly rose. He was already handsome, but when he looked up like this, he was so handsome that he dared not look at him. He hugged Wu Jiu, kissed the corner of Wu Jiu's mouth, and said : "I didn't expect the second brother to talk about love so quickly? Alright, the second brother and Gu go together, and we will beat the crap out of the people of Xirong."
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "I didn't expect Duke Qi to speak so rudely."
Qihou said with a smile: "Speaking alone is much gentler than fighting."
Wu Jiu was preparing to conquest himself, and asked Pan Chong to send people to rush to the nearest town of Fushan, and ordered to send food and grass to support Fushan urgently.
Now sending food and grass from Yingdu, even if it is a fast horse, the distant water can't save the nearby fire.
Wu Jiu and his party set off soon, Wu Jiu went on the campaign himself, and the chief general turned out to be Duke Qi, so Dou Qi was not at ease, he had to ask for orders to be Zuo Shi, and there was indeed a lack of Zuo Shi in the army, so Wu Jiu accepted his fate to fight Qi.
Now this team is surprisingly powerful. After all, the king of Chu personally conquered, the main general is Duke Qi, and Zuo Shi is the well-known Mo Ao Douqi in Chu State. Once this team is mentioned, it will make people feel scared.
Wu Jiu led the Chu army, set off quickly, and rushed to Fushan. The momentum was very large. Because the Xirong people in Fushan heard the news of Chu's reinforcements, they did not dare to make mistakes, and returned to Fushan, not daring to act rashly. Go east.
Although there were quite a few of them, they didn't dare to slack off. The whole journey was like a gust of wind sweeping through fallen leaves. In a few days, they even rushed to the vicinity of Fushan.
Now Lu Jili's team is camping near Fushan, and everyone can see the Xingyuan from a distance. The Xingyuan is very simple and dilapidated, and the conditions are very difficult, but there are not a few scouts that should be there.
Before Wu Jiu's team reached the gate, they were immediately discovered by the scouting Chu army. Someone led the soldiers out quickly to check. They all opened their eyes wide in shock, and quickly knelt down and said, "Greetings to my king! Greetings to Duke Qi! My humble general!" I didn't expect the reinforcements to arrive so soon!"
Wu Jiu said: "When the army is outside, there is no need to pay attention to these etiquettes. Please hurry up and enter the barracks."
The general hurriedly led Wu Jiu and the others into the barracks. Everyone was busy all the way, but they didn't dare to rest. Wu Jiu said: "Call the generals to gather in the shogunate. I want to hear the specific situation in Fushan."
As he spoke, the general responded quickly, saying: "Yes! The humble general will go immediately."
Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi, and Dou Qi who is Zuo Shi, and Lu Luchen, who came together to ask for orders, entered the Xingyuan shogunate.
The shogunate is very simple, and there are no seats at all after entering. There is a map on the case, with many things stuck on it, and it seems that it is often studied.
Wu Jiao went in and sat down. He was indeed tired from traveling all the way, but the military plane couldn't be delayed. After he understands the situation, it's not too late to rest.
As the chief general this time, Qi Hou immediately walked to the case and looked at the map carefully. While he was watching, there was a "crash", the curtains were opened, and many generals came in from the outside, all lined up and knelt down As a gift to Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiu glanced at those generals, then exchanged a glance with Marquis Qi, frowned in unison, and said, "Where is General Lu? Why don't you see General Lu?"
As soon as he said this, he saw that the expressions of all the generals suddenly changed, some were resentful, some were regretful, some were complicated, and some shook their heads and sighed, not knowing what it meant.
At first Wu Jiu thought that something happened to Lu Jili, did he die in battle unfortunately?It's just that those generals still have resentful eyes, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Now there is no commander-in-chief Lu Jili, nor general Lu Yangchuang in the barracks, the other lieutenants had no choice but to bite the bullet, cupped their hands and said: "If you go back to the king, General Lu...he...he surrendered to the enemy yesterday...yesterday! "
"what!?"
Don't say it was Wu Jiao who was surprised, even Dou Qi was very surprised, he just told Wu Jiu to be careful of Lu Jili before, how did he know that it turned out to be true, Lu Jili defected to the enemy?
But after hearing this, even Dou Qi didn't believe it. If Lu Jili had really turned his back on him, then he wouldn't have raised Wu Wang's son for 16 years. For so many years, Lu Jili just held back and resented , but didn't reveal a word, Dou Qi couldn't imagine that Lu Jili turned to the enemy at this juncture.
The other generals said: "Your Majesty! It's true! Lu Jili defected to the enemy, to the Xirong people! We have seen it with our own eyes, and it is absolutely true. The humble general never thought that General Lu is such a person!"
Many generals were very resentful. As soon as this was mentioned, the chatterbox seemed to open up. Some people said: "Is General Lu pretending to surrender to the enemy? After all, General Lu took us out of the siege, how dangerous it was, in order to save food. With burns on his arms and cheeks, if General Lu defected to the enemy, logically speaking, wouldn't it be better to defect to the enemy a few days ago?"
"Yes, yes, I also believe in General Lu's character."
For a moment there was some noise in the barracks, Wu Jiu frowned, and said, "Let's not talk about General Lu's affairs for now, but please tell me about the situation in Fushan first, all generals."
When the generals said this, they immediately responded. Everyone gathered next to the map and explained the situation on the front line of Fushan. Get out of the siege, rebuild the Xingyuan here, etc., all of which are clearly stated.
Wu Jiuyue became more and more suspicious when he heard it. Lu Jili, whom the soldiers were talking about, desperately led the soldiers to break out of the siege. In order to save food and grass, his cheeks and arms were burned, and he gave his own food and grass to the soldiers. That's it. But Lu Jili suddenly surrendered to the Xirong people last night when the rescue troops were about to arrive?
Qihou looked at the map of Fushan and said: "The Xirong people have stayed on this mountain for a long time. These days they have enough to figure out the terrain of Fushan. If we continue to delay like this, we will hardly have a chance to counterattack." .”
When Qihou said this, it seemed that a sword had pierced everyone's heart, and the generals were also anxious. Although Fushan was their territory in Chu, but now the Xirong people have turned against the hostess and occupied Fushan. Forced down Fushan, in this way, the longer the battle line, the smaller the chance of winning.
Everyone looked at Marquis Qi, but Marquis Qi didn't finish his disappointment, and said: "The supply general treacherously surrendered to the enemy a few days ago, and the food sent by the king of Chu to reward the three armies has already been included in the granary of the Xirong people, and our army's food and grass are far away. It's not enough, even if Gu and the King of Chu brought some food and grass over here, the food and grass are definitely not enough to compete head-on with the Xirong people who are well backed by granaries."
When everyone listened, they felt like eggplants beaten by frost, and all of them were silent. Although they felt that Qihou's words were really disappointing, every word he said was very to the point.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and said, "We can't fight head-on, but we have to fight quickly..."
Qihou nodded and said, "That's what Gu said."
Wu Jiu had already ordered the surrounding towns to send grain and grass, but the grain and grass reserves in the surrounding towns were also limited, and it was impossible to send all the grain to Fushan for the soldiers to eat while ensuring the normal operation of the town.
The food and grass that the soldiers have now is just a relief. After everyone divides it, they will not be able to eat for a few days. It can be said that the conditions are difficult.
When the Xirong people captured Lu Yangchuang a few days ago, they also intercepted the food and grass that Wu Jiu ordered to reward the three armies. The large batch of food was enough for them to eat for a long time, and the food that the Xirong people had already had, the situation was not optimistic.
Wu Jiu said, "What do you guys think?"
Everyone stared at the map and remained silent. Qi Hou tapped the map and said, "Gu suddenly thought of a method that the second brother likes."
Wu Jiu looked at him sideways and said, "What is it?"
Qihou sneered, and said, "Use his own way to treat his own body."
Everyone looked at Marquis Qi suspiciously, but Wu Jiu suddenly said, "Burn food and grass?"
Qihou nodded, and everyone understood what Qihou's method was. Now the Xirong people are confident because of their rich family background, and because of this rich family background, the morale of the Xirong people is unprecedentedly high.
Before the soldiers move, the food goes first. Food and grass are one of the biggest backings for wars since ancient times. If there is no food and grass, there is no need to fight at all. Therefore, Qihou suggested to burn the food and grass of the Xirong people, and sneak attack on their granaries in Fushan. No future troubles.
Once the food and grass were cut off, the Xirong people would inevitably ask the nearby Yongguo for food, but Yongguo was now fighting with the Qin State, and there was no time to give food to the Xirong people. In this case, the Xirong people would have to be forced to evacuate.
Wu Jiu also agreed with Qihou's method of burning grain and grass, but the deputy general was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Qi, let me tell you two, when General Ri Lu had not surrendered to the enemy the other day, he also thought of the method of burning grain and grass, but... ..."
Wu Jiao said in surprise, "General Lu thought about it too?"
The deputy general nodded and said: "Yes, I thought about it, but I just couldn't realize it. Since our army withdrew from Fushan, there are Xirong garrisons on Fushan. They are good at guerrilla warfare. They come and go without a trace. It's a trap. Fushan is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army has sneaked several times, but they were all unsuccessful. At all... I didn't even see the shadow of the granary! I don't know where the Xirong people placed the granary. Without a goal, this... how can this burn food and grass?"
Wu Jiu listened, squinted his eyes, thoughtful, and didn't speak immediately.
Wu Jiu seemed to be lost in thought, staring at the map of Fushan, not knowing what he was thinking. At this moment, a general standing aside cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty for instructions. Now that Lu Jili has surrendered to the enemy, if he If you sell the place where our army camped to the Xirong people, then the Xirong people will attack them soon, and the safety of the king and Duke Qi will not be guaranteed, please make plans early and move the camp!"
Hearing the general's words, Wu Jiu seemed to wake up suddenly, raised his hand, stretched out his black sleeve robe, and said, "No, don't move the camp, let the Xirong people come here."
When he said this, the generals in the camp instantly looked at each other, not knowing what Wu Jiao meant, they all looked puzzled...
"Report-!! General Chu, Lu Jili has arrived!"
A group of Xirong soldiers escorted a tall man. The man's hands were bound by chains and his weapons were seized. He walked forward silently without any expression on his face. He stepped down and walked into the Xingyuan of the Xirong people on Fushan.
The bonfire in the campfire was soaring into the sky, filled with the sound of laughter. Soldiers gathered around the bonfire, laughing and drinking, pouring the wine into the fire, and there was a loud "huh--", the fire seemed to be a fire dragon, soaring into the sky, Roaring, screaming, laughing.
Lu Jili walked forward slowly, his eyes were lowered, but he could still see from the corner of his eye that those Xirong soldiers were drinking wine from Chu State, and what they were pouring was wine captured from Chu State. It was supposed to be rations to reward the three armies.
As Lu Jili walked all the way in, the soldiers of Xirong stopped laughing immediately, and the laughter gradually quieted down one by one. They all focused on Lu Jili, but Lu Jili didn't see it at all, and continued to walk forward.
Soon, a tall general of Xirong came out of the camp and said, "General Lu from Chu State is here, why don't you invite General Lu in?!"
As he spoke, the soldiers behind him immediately pushed and shoved Lu Jili, but he didn't expect that Lu Jili was tall and stable, and he stood on the ground as if he had taken root. When the soldier pushed, his wrist "clicked", Almost flashed.
Lu Jili sneered and said, "Jili is here to surrender, not to be a prisoner of war."
As he spoke so loudly, he heard the sound of clapping his hands, and then a voice came from the tent, "General Lu is invited."
Then Lu Jili went straight into the camp. In the tent, all the generals of Xirong were present, drinking and eating meat, looking at Lu Jili.
Lu Jili stood in the middle of the tent, being scrutinized by everyone.
The general sitting at the top smiled and said, "General Lu, are you here to surrender?"
Lu Jili said, "Exactly."
As he was speaking, another Xirong general said: "General, don't believe his nonsense, they are the most scheming people, and they don't have a half-truth."
Another person said: "It's the general. I heard that the Chu general who was captured a few days ago is the son of Lu Jili. Maybe Lu Jili pretended to surrender to save his son!"
"Yeah yeah."
For a moment, everyone in the camp was echoing, but Lu Jili suddenly laughed twice, seeming to be very happy.
General Na Xirong said, "General Lu, why are you laughing?"
Lu Jili said flatly: "Ji Li laughed because all the generals here don't understand Ji Li at all, and what they said was completely wrong, that's why Ji Li laughed."
General Xirong said, "Oh? How could you be so wrong?"
Although Lu Jili's hands were tied, he didn't feel weak at all, he just said coldly: "First, Ji Li is not from Jing, Ji Li is the successor of Lu State, the Jing people destroyed our Lu State, Swallow my rivers and mountains, Ji Li can't wait to eat their flesh and drink their blood!"
The Xirong people immediately looked at each other, looked at Lu Jili, Lu Jili said again: "Secondly, Lu Yangchuang...is not my son at all."
General Xirong smiled and said, "Oh, he is Lu Shi, and you are Lu Shi too. He is not your son, so who is he?"
Just as Lu Jili was about to speak, General Xirong raised his hand to stop his words, and instead said to the lieutenant next to him: "Go, invite General Pi from Chu."
Lu Jili's eyes moved slightly. After the officer went out, he soon heard the sound of soldiers shouting outside, followed by the sound of footsteps. With a sound of "哗啦——", the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a figure was slammed Push it in, let out a "boom!", and fall directly to the ground.
Lu Jili looked down and saw that it was Lu Yangchuang. Lu Yangchuang was covered in blood. He must have been tortured. He seemed to have taken a breath. After being pushed in, he fell to the ground and was unconscious.
Lu Jili looked at the comatose Lu Yangchuang, and quickly looked away, only staying for a short moment.
General Xirong seemed to be watching his expression, and said, "Wake up General Chu."
"Wow!!!" With a sound, the deputy general casually poured the wine on the case directly on Lu Yangchuang's face.
"what--"
Lu Yangchuang woke up suddenly from being choked, and at the same time his body kept twitching, his body was covered with wounds, stained with alcohol, he was in unspeakable pain, his eyes were red from pain, and the chains on his body made a "crash--" trembling sound.
Lu Yangchuang woke up to the laughter of the Xirong people, but he didn't know that when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jianli.
Lu Yangchuang was so tortured that he didn't have any strength at all, but now he woke up suddenly, his voice was hoarse and he didn't have much strength, so he said weakly: "Father!"
Lu Jili didn't look at him, he didn't even give Lu Yangchuang a look at this moment.
General Xirong smiled and said, "General Lu, you can speak now."
Lu Jili said indifferently: "Lu Yangchuang is not my son."
Lu Yangchuang's ears were still buzzing, but when he heard this sentence, he was about to explode, struggling to get up from the ground, but he was bound with chains and tortured, he couldn't get up at all, he was just weak Said: "Father...you...what did you say?"
Lu Jili still didn't look at him, and continued: "Lu Yangchuang is the evil offspring of the old thief of King Wu and his own clan sister. God is angry because of such a scandal, so when Lu Yangchuang was born, his eyes were born. Disabled, he is not my son at all. In order to cover up his scandal, the old thief of King Wu married his estranged sister to me, and asked me to help him raise wild species. The general said, such a shameful humiliation,
Qi Hou spoke so brazenly, but Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and gave him a contemptuous look. That look gave Qi Hou a feeling of being seen through, and he didn't know why.
Marquis Qi didn't know that Wu Jiu had traveled through time. Wu Jiu had read history books. Duke Huan of Qi was not only the head of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a famous playboy in history. He had only nine wives, let alone concubines.
Qihou admitted that he was indeed extravagant in his previous life. As a overlord, Qihou's ambitions were also unlimited. He felt that the military power, treasures, and beauties in the world should all be his own, so he was so arrogant.
However, after Qihou died tragically, he suddenly realized a lot. How many of his harem were sincerely treating him well, they were nothing more than fancying his military power and his wealth. When he had nothing, no one treated him sincerely. he.
This is not what Qihou wanted. He started again, but his ambitions inflated even more. What he wanted was not what military power and wealth could satisfy, but sincerity.
Seeing Wu Jiu looking sideways at you, Qihou coughed, and said with some guilt: "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "See if Duke Qi is a scumbag in his heart."
Qihou coughed again, put his arms around Wu Jiu's waist, and brought him into his arms. With a hoarse voice, he said in his sexiest and most charming voice: "There is only second brother in my heart, and I will never be alone." It won't change."
As he spoke, he was about to lower his head to bite Wu Jiu's lips. Wu Jiu hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, and said in disgust, "Go wash your mouth, it smells like stinky tofu."
Qihou was shocked in an instant, after all he had such a handsome face that everyone in the world flocked to, and he was so affectionate, Wu Jiao actually detested him.
Qi Hou felt aggrieved and said: "Second brother, you despise loneliness, and loneliness makes you sad."
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, and Qi Hou said, "Second brother is the only one who can despise Gu."
Wu Jiu said suspiciously: "Is that because no one else has seen your eating?"
Qi Hou was choked immediately, feeling speechless, what the second brother said made sense.
Wu Jiu ordered to reward the three armies. Pan Chong arranged food, grass and military pay, and sent them to the front line of Fushan soon. At the same time, Qin State was also preparing to send troops to attack the Yong State. Not allowed to enter, sent back directly.
Although Yun Guo had a very temper, at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything at all, and left in disgrace.
Soon, Qin's army was already on the border with Yongguo, attacking Yongguo from the back, while Chu State was waiting to drive the Xirong people back to Fushan, and then attacked Yongguo from the front from the back of Fushan. The front and the back of the Qin State and the Qin State are both strong soldiers, and they will definitely be able to take down the Yong State in one fell swoop.
Wu corrected waiting for the good news from Lu Jili, and prepared to let Lu Jili and Qin Guoguo division. After the victory in the first battle, there was no news from Lu Jili. The most worrying thing is that it is not just Lu Jili There was no news from Li, and there was no news from the team that delivered the food and military pay. For some reason, they suddenly lost contact with Ying Du, and they never reported back, and it was unknown whether the food had been delivered.
Wu Jiu also went to court in the bedroom on the road that day, but he didn't see Grand Sima Pan Chong. Wu Jiu asked, "Where is Grand Sima?"
Zuo Sima Prince Zheng hurriedly stood up and said: "Go back to the king, just before going to the court, there was an urgent report from the border, and Da Sima was caught, and he might come here soon."
When he said this, all the others looked at Wang Zizheng, as if they were guessing what the urgent report was. What can be called an urgent report now must be the battle of Fushan, or the battle between Qin and Yong.
The literati and bureaucrats all speculated, but they didn't think there was anything bad in their minds, and said, "It must be that Fushan has sent another good news."
"Yes, yes, the people of Xirong are totally vulnerable."
"Yongguo is absolutely doomed this time, with Qin's help, it's not worth mentioning at all."
The scholar-bureaucrats were discussing, when they heard the sound of "tattling", footsteps, Pan Chong hurried in from outside, all the scholar-bureaucrats looked at him with "shua!" and locked on Pan Chong.
Everyone was still eagerly waiting for Pan Chong to announce the good news, but they didn't know that Pan Chong was holding a roll of lambskin in his hand, but his face turned dark into the bottom of the pot. When everyone saw it, they immediately "thumped" in their hearts, and suddenly felt that the matter might not be simple.
Wu Jiu watched Pan Chong walk in and said, "Great Sima, is this the military newspaper in Fushan?"
Pan Chong immediately cupped his hands and said, "That's right, just now Cai Chong received the urgent report from Fushan, it's...it's the military report from the general asking for support."
"what?"
"Request support?"
"Didn't you scare the Xirong people?"
"What's going on? So suddenly?"
The ministers immediately started making noise, and everyone was taken aback. The current situation is that the Qin State sent out heavy troops to attack the Yong State. Yang Chuang rushed to the front and defeated the Xirong people.
The success news again and again made everyone dizzy with joy, and they never expected that under such a situation of great power, Lu Jili would suddenly send an urgent report asking for support.
Wu Jiu was also a little surprised, and said, "What's the matter?"
Pan Chong quickly said: "Your Majesty, I set off from the capital of Ying a few days ago to reward the grain and grass teams of the three armies...there are rebels."
No wonder Pan Chong was so dark-faced. It turned out to be the case. Starting from the capital city of Ying, rewarding the troops of the three armies, carrying a lot of food, grass and military pay, on the way to Fushan, the supply general rebelled against the state of Chu and took refuge in the Xirong people.
not only that……
Pan Chong said: "The rebel army cooperated with the Xirong people inside and outside. Our army was defeated and retreated ten miles, and... and... General Lu Yangchuang was captured."
When Pan Chong said this, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone was uproarious. The result was completely unexpected to everyone. They had won battles all the way, but they were defeated by the rebels.
Lu Jili had no idea that he had taken refuge with the Xirong people. At that time, Lu Jili received an urgent report from the supply general, saying that they were ambushed by the Xirong people, and there were some casualties. He asked for support. .
Lu Jili did not doubt that he was there, so he immediately sent General Lu Yangchuang to support him and escort the food and grass team to join the main force.
Unaware that the supply general was cheating, Lu Yangchuang took people to meet him, and soon found the grain and grass troops, but the grain and grass troops were not ambushed at all, but ambushed them.
Lu Yangchuang was seriously injured and was captured by the Xirong people, but the rebellious general continued to escort food and grass to join Lu Jili's team.
Lu Yangchuang went away for several days and didn't come back, and there was no news. Lu Jili was very worried. Although Lu Yangchuang was very skilled in martial arts, he was still a fledgling child. He was still a half-grown child with no experience in the battlefield. After winning the battle, I feel proud in my heart, and I am tricked by others.
Soon the luggage team came back, and Lu Jili naturally wanted to go out to greet him, but when he arrived at the gate of Xingyuan, he didn't see Lu Yangchuang. Lu Jili hurriedly asked, but the luggage general cried and said that they were attacked halfway. The Xirong people ambushed, Lu Yangchuang was captured, and many brothers died in battle.
As soon as Lu Jili heard it, there was a "bang--" in his head. He knew what it was like to be a battle uniform. Because Lu Jili was a nobleman of the Ludi Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom wanted to subdue the Ludi Kingdom, so they treated Lu Jili favorably. Ji Li is lucky.
Now that Lu Yangchuang has fallen into the hands of the Xirong people, there is only one consequence, that is not death, but life is worse than death.
What's more, Lu Yangchuang is General Pi, and his status in the army is not low. The Xirong people will definitely torture him and force him to confess. Lu Jili's mind was in chaos. Filled with anger.
Because Lu Yangchuang fought the enemy bravely after entering the barracks, he always ran at the front and ate and lived with the soldiers, so he was loved and loved. When the soldiers heard this, they became excited and prepared to kill the Xirong people In front of him, Lu Yangchuang was rescued.
They didn't know that there was a ghost in the supply army, and they were still discussing the situation in the shogunate that night, but they were attacked by "our own people" in the middle of the night. The supply general burned all the food, grass and military pay in the camp, and massacred Chu soldiers. horse.
Lu Jili led troops to resist. Although they saved many Chu troops, they had no time to save their food and grass. impossible things.
Lu Jili led the troops to retreat, but was flanked by the Xirong people. The rebels and the Xirong people had agreed long ago to attack Lu Jili from both sides. Lu Jili's team fought hard and finally broke out of the siege and re-camped ten miles away. .
However, the current situation is very critical, because they have not received the military rations to reward the three armies at all, and the original rations have been burned cleanly. The soldiers risked burns and desperately rescued some rations, but it was not enough for one person. Not enough to eat a meal, let alone fight a war.
Lu Jili wrote an urgent document and sent it back to Yingdu, asking Wu Jiu to deliver the army rations and send reinforcements to them to fight to the death with the Xirong people, avenge the dead soldiers, and rescue the captured Lu Yang window.
Wu Jiu looked at the document, his expression was not good, it was very gloomy, as if it was going to rain at any moment.
Pan Chong immediately knelt down on his knees and said: "Chong's negligence in management has caused such a traitor to appear in the army. The loss of soldiers and generals has brought shame to Chu. Please punish me!"
Hearing Pan Chong's report, the ministers were all taken aback. He knelt down and realized that some people attacked Pan Chong immediately, while others said: "From what a villain sees, it's not the big Sima's fault. Maybe General Lu I am a meticulous worker, if not, how could my Chu army have been defeated so thoroughly?"
"Yes, yes, my lord, we can no longer send reinforcements to General Lu. It is better to recall him and send another general to the front."
Hearing the noise, panic, and accusations from the officials, Wu Jiu felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest. In this battle, Wu Jiu resisted all opinions and supported Lu Jili as the main general. If Lu Jili was defeated, those who have The scholar-officials who talk about their heads are even more irresponsible.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "According to what you all said, if General Lu is not reinforced, what will the soldiers of our Chu State do? Just leave it alone? Wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of the people of our Chu State?"
Everyone was discussing in low voices, panicked for a while, and didn't know what to do. If they couldn't beat back the Xirong people, they wouldn't be able to join forces with Qin. Qin would attack Yong by itself, even if its troops were strong, it would be difficult to conquer Yong. At that time, Qin State has been supporting for a long time, and if there is no reinforcement from Chu State, it is likely to break the contract and withdraw its troops, then Chu State will be isolated and helpless again.
The current situation is to pull one hair and move the whole body.
Wu Jiu said in a deep voice: "If General Lu is sent back, who do you think is competent!?"
When he said this, everyone stopped talking. To be honest, none of them are familiar with the Xirong people's style of play, and no one has a chance of winning. Qin Gongzi Zhao Jia is familiar with the Xirong people's style of play. The Herong people have detoured for several generations, but now Zhao Jia is about to rush to Qin State again, and attack Yong State from behind with Qin State.
So everyone was silent, and the Lu bedroom became quiet in an instant, wishing that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
At this moment, a sudden laughter was heard, and a deep voice came from outside the hall, saying, "Come alone to fight this battle!"
He said, the eyes of everyone "shua!" They all gathered at the entrance of the Lu Palace, Wu Jiu also looked up, and saw a tall man striding in from the outside, he was wearing a black Qi Dynasty robe , with a tall and straight figure, walking like a king, and under the attention of everyone, he strode in without stage fright.
As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately started making noise again. It turned out to be Marquis Qi!
Qi Hou walked into the hall, stopped in the middle of the hall, clasped his fists and cupped his hands and said: "I Qi State and Chu State have been on good terms for generations. Now that Chu State is in trouble, our Qi State cannot stand idly by. Although I am not talented, but for I still know a thing or two about the fighting style of the Rong people, if the king of Chu does not give up, I can let Gu have a try."
Everyone stared at Qihou, very surprised. After all, Qihou was the former monarch of Qi. Even if he is no longer the monarch, he still has the status. Qihou suddenly stood up and asked for a fight, which was really unexpected.
Qihou did have experience fighting the soldiers, but it was actually the experience of his previous life, and the most of his current experience in this life is dealing with the Beidi people.
In his previous life, Qi State had developed and grown, and was no longer satisfied with dominating the east, so he began to extend his hand to the Central Plains, and helped the princes and countries resist the Rong and Di people many times. The most famous battle was the Cunxing Rescue.
Because of Qi's generous rescue, many countries surrendered and responded one after another. It can be said that Qi Hou became the overlord not by relying on strong financial resources and force, but largely by relying on the support of other countries.
Although Qihou has no experience in fighting the soldiers in his life, he did not know how many times he fought off the soldiers himself in his previous life, making the soldiers and Di people frightened by the news, so Qihou naturally has this confidence, and it is not just a momentary headache and braggadocio .
The literati were surprised at first, and then began to think about it, saying: "This... Although Duke Qi has good intentions, but... But this is a matter of our Chu country, and Qi Gong is not from our Chu country. ..."
The literati said so, and Wu Jiu was really afraid that Qihou would suddenly say that he wanted to be the hero of the state of Chu, but the facts proved that Qihou would only do it to Wu Jiu, and in front of others, it was not acting like a baby. It's pressure and demonstrations.
Marquis Qi turned his head to look at the scholar-bureaucrat of the Ruo family with a smile, and said with a smile, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but that rebellious supply general is from Chu? I heard that he is from old Chu."
When he said this, the scholar-officials immediately fell silent. Qihou was right. The rebellious scholar-bureaucrats were still from Chu, but they still rebelled.
The scholar-bureaucrats dared not speak. Qi Hou looked up at Wu Jiu and said, "Please, King Chu, make a decisive decision!"
Wu Jiao squinted his eyes and stared at him, standing in the hall with his waist straight, Qihou was like a king, the people of Xirong were cunning, Wu Jiao didn't believe in Qihou, but he was very worried, if something happened to Qihou, it wasn't just Qihou. The affairs of Hou alone also implicated the relationship between Qi and Chu.
Wu Jiu stared at Marquis Qi for a long time, and suddenly said: "Okay, the Duke of Qi is here to help, and our country of Chu is very grateful. Since Duke Qi went out in person, our country of Chu also wants to express the respect of the country of Qi. I would like to cooperate with Duke Qi. Let's go out together and attack Xirong."
As he said, the officials almost exploded, not only the officials, but also Marquis Qi was taken aback and wanted to speak quickly, but Wu Jiu didn't give him this opportunity at all, and immediately said: "Dear Sima, prepare quickly, I have to personally Send troops to support General Lu."
When Pan Chong saw Wu Jiu's eyes, he immediately said nothing nonsense, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my king!"
Wu Jiu soon left the court, walked directly into the inner hall of Lu bedroom, and headed for the small bedroom, while all the officials left the outer hall one after another, went to the political affairs hall, and continued to discuss the matter of reinforcements.
Qi Hou seemed a little anxious, and he didn't care about so many etiquettes. He directly strode up the steps of the King of Chu's seat, and then, under the eyes of everyone, with his long legs, he chased Wu Jiao into the small bedroom.
Qihou chased after him and said, "Second brother, why do you want to conscript yourself again? You have only come back not long ago, so you should be in the capital city of Ying."
Wu Jiu turned his head and squinted at Qi Hou. Qi Hou was so majestic in the hall just now, that proper kingly demeanor suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Wu Jiao very dog-leggedly.
Wu Jiu turned his head, stretched out his hand to squeeze Marquis Qi's chin, and said, "Duke Qi is allowed to conscript himself, but the widow is not allowed to conscript himself?"
Qihou said: "Naturally that's not what I mean. I'm just worried about my second brother. This time the Xirong people are coming aggressively. What's more, the situation in Fushan is not good. Second brother..."
As he was speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Jiu's words, and said: "It is because of the bad situation that the widows are going to follow, and I am also worried about you."
When Qihou heard this, the expression on his face instantly rose. He was already handsome, but when he looked up like this, he was so handsome that he dared not look at him. He hugged Wu Jiu, kissed the corner of Wu Jiu's mouth, and said : "I didn't expect the second brother to talk about love so quickly? Alright, the second brother and Gu go together, and we will beat the crap out of the people of Xirong."
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "I didn't expect Duke Qi to speak so rudely."
Qihou said with a smile: "Speaking alone is much gentler than fighting."
Wu Jiu was preparing to conquest himself, and asked Pan Chong to send people to rush to the nearest town of Fushan, and ordered to send food and grass to support Fushan urgently.
Now sending food and grass from Yingdu, even if it is a fast horse, the distant water can't save the nearby fire.
Wu Jiu and his party set off soon, Wu Jiu went on the campaign himself, and the chief general turned out to be Duke Qi, so Dou Qi was not at ease, he had to ask for orders to be Zuo Shi, and there was indeed a lack of Zuo Shi in the army, so Wu Jiu accepted his fate to fight Qi.
Now this team is surprisingly powerful. After all, the king of Chu personally conquered, the main general is Duke Qi, and Zuo Shi is the well-known Mo Ao Douqi in Chu State. Once this team is mentioned, it will make people feel scared.
Wu Jiu led the Chu army, set off quickly, and rushed to Fushan. The momentum was very large. Because the Xirong people in Fushan heard the news of Chu's reinforcements, they did not dare to make mistakes, and returned to Fushan, not daring to act rashly. Go east.
Although there were quite a few of them, they didn't dare to slack off. The whole journey was like a gust of wind sweeping through fallen leaves. In a few days, they even rushed to the vicinity of Fushan.
Now Lu Jili's team is camping near Fushan, and everyone can see the Xingyuan from a distance. The Xingyuan is very simple and dilapidated, and the conditions are very difficult, but there are not a few scouts that should be there.
Before Wu Jiu's team reached the gate, they were immediately discovered by the scouting Chu army. Someone led the soldiers out quickly to check. They all opened their eyes wide in shock, and quickly knelt down and said, "Greetings to my king! Greetings to Duke Qi! My humble general!" I didn't expect the reinforcements to arrive so soon!"
Wu Jiu said: "When the army is outside, there is no need to pay attention to these etiquettes. Please hurry up and enter the barracks."
The general hurriedly led Wu Jiu and the others into the barracks. Everyone was busy all the way, but they didn't dare to rest. Wu Jiu said: "Call the generals to gather in the shogunate. I want to hear the specific situation in Fushan."
As he spoke, the general responded quickly, saying: "Yes! The humble general will go immediately."
Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi, and Dou Qi who is Zuo Shi, and Lu Luchen, who came together to ask for orders, entered the Xingyuan shogunate.
The shogunate is very simple, and there are no seats at all after entering. There is a map on the case, with many things stuck on it, and it seems that it is often studied.
Wu Jiao went in and sat down. He was indeed tired from traveling all the way, but the military plane couldn't be delayed. After he understands the situation, it's not too late to rest.
As the chief general this time, Qi Hou immediately walked to the case and looked at the map carefully. While he was watching, there was a "crash", the curtains were opened, and many generals came in from the outside, all lined up and knelt down As a gift to Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiu glanced at those generals, then exchanged a glance with Marquis Qi, frowned in unison, and said, "Where is General Lu? Why don't you see General Lu?"
As soon as he said this, he saw that the expressions of all the generals suddenly changed, some were resentful, some were regretful, some were complicated, and some shook their heads and sighed, not knowing what it meant.
At first Wu Jiu thought that something happened to Lu Jili, did he die in battle unfortunately?It's just that those generals still have resentful eyes, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Now there is no commander-in-chief Lu Jili, nor general Lu Yangchuang in the barracks, the other lieutenants had no choice but to bite the bullet, cupped their hands and said: "If you go back to the king, General Lu...he...he surrendered to the enemy yesterday...yesterday! "
"what!?"
Don't say it was Wu Jiao who was surprised, even Dou Qi was very surprised, he just told Wu Jiu to be careful of Lu Jili before, how did he know that it turned out to be true, Lu Jili defected to the enemy?
But after hearing this, even Dou Qi didn't believe it. If Lu Jili had really turned his back on him, then he wouldn't have raised Wu Wang's son for 16 years. For so many years, Lu Jili just held back and resented , but didn't reveal a word, Dou Qi couldn't imagine that Lu Jili turned to the enemy at this juncture.
The other generals said: "Your Majesty! It's true! Lu Jili defected to the enemy, to the Xirong people! We have seen it with our own eyes, and it is absolutely true. The humble general never thought that General Lu is such a person!"
Many generals were very resentful. As soon as this was mentioned, the chatterbox seemed to open up. Some people said: "Is General Lu pretending to surrender to the enemy? After all, General Lu took us out of the siege, how dangerous it was, in order to save food. With burns on his arms and cheeks, if General Lu defected to the enemy, logically speaking, wouldn't it be better to defect to the enemy a few days ago?"
"Yes, yes, I also believe in General Lu's character."
For a moment there was some noise in the barracks, Wu Jiu frowned, and said, "Let's not talk about General Lu's affairs for now, but please tell me about the situation in Fushan first, all generals."
When the generals said this, they immediately responded. Everyone gathered next to the map and explained the situation on the front line of Fushan. Get out of the siege, rebuild the Xingyuan here, etc., all of which are clearly stated.
Wu Jiuyue became more and more suspicious when he heard it. Lu Jili, whom the soldiers were talking about, desperately led the soldiers to break out of the siege. In order to save food and grass, his cheeks and arms were burned, and he gave his own food and grass to the soldiers. That's it. But Lu Jili suddenly surrendered to the Xirong people last night when the rescue troops were about to arrive?
Qihou looked at the map of Fushan and said: "The Xirong people have stayed on this mountain for a long time. These days they have enough to figure out the terrain of Fushan. If we continue to delay like this, we will hardly have a chance to counterattack." .”
When Qihou said this, it seemed that a sword had pierced everyone's heart, and the generals were also anxious. Although Fushan was their territory in Chu, but now the Xirong people have turned against the hostess and occupied Fushan. Forced down Fushan, in this way, the longer the battle line, the smaller the chance of winning.
Everyone looked at Marquis Qi, but Marquis Qi didn't finish his disappointment, and said: "The supply general treacherously surrendered to the enemy a few days ago, and the food sent by the king of Chu to reward the three armies has already been included in the granary of the Xirong people, and our army's food and grass are far away. It's not enough, even if Gu and the King of Chu brought some food and grass over here, the food and grass are definitely not enough to compete head-on with the Xirong people who are well backed by granaries."
When everyone listened, they felt like eggplants beaten by frost, and all of them were silent. Although they felt that Qihou's words were really disappointing, every word he said was very to the point.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and said, "We can't fight head-on, but we have to fight quickly..."
Qihou nodded and said, "That's what Gu said."
Wu Jiu had already ordered the surrounding towns to send grain and grass, but the grain and grass reserves in the surrounding towns were also limited, and it was impossible to send all the grain to Fushan for the soldiers to eat while ensuring the normal operation of the town.
The food and grass that the soldiers have now is just a relief. After everyone divides it, they will not be able to eat for a few days. It can be said that the conditions are difficult.
When the Xirong people captured Lu Yangchuang a few days ago, they also intercepted the food and grass that Wu Jiu ordered to reward the three armies. The large batch of food was enough for them to eat for a long time, and the food that the Xirong people had already had, the situation was not optimistic.
Wu Jiu said, "What do you guys think?"
Everyone stared at the map and remained silent. Qi Hou tapped the map and said, "Gu suddenly thought of a method that the second brother likes."
Wu Jiu looked at him sideways and said, "What is it?"
Qihou sneered, and said, "Use his own way to treat his own body."
Everyone looked at Marquis Qi suspiciously, but Wu Jiu suddenly said, "Burn food and grass?"
Qihou nodded, and everyone understood what Qihou's method was. Now the Xirong people are confident because of their rich family background, and because of this rich family background, the morale of the Xirong people is unprecedentedly high.
Before the soldiers move, the food goes first. Food and grass are one of the biggest backings for wars since ancient times. If there is no food and grass, there is no need to fight at all. Therefore, Qihou suggested to burn the food and grass of the Xirong people, and sneak attack on their granaries in Fushan. No future troubles.
Once the food and grass were cut off, the Xirong people would inevitably ask the nearby Yongguo for food, but Yongguo was now fighting with the Qin State, and there was no time to give food to the Xirong people. In this case, the Xirong people would have to be forced to evacuate.
Wu Jiu also agreed with Qihou's method of burning grain and grass, but the deputy general was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Qi, let me tell you two, when General Ri Lu had not surrendered to the enemy the other day, he also thought of the method of burning grain and grass, but... ..."
Wu Jiao said in surprise, "General Lu thought about it too?"
The deputy general nodded and said: "Yes, I thought about it, but I just couldn't realize it. Since our army withdrew from Fushan, there are Xirong garrisons on Fushan. They are good at guerrilla warfare. They come and go without a trace. It's a trap. Fushan is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army has sneaked several times, but they were all unsuccessful. At all... I didn't even see the shadow of the granary! I don't know where the Xirong people placed the granary. Without a goal, this... how can this burn food and grass?"
Wu Jiu listened, squinted his eyes, thoughtful, and didn't speak immediately.
Wu Jiu seemed to be lost in thought, staring at the map of Fushan, not knowing what he was thinking. At this moment, a general standing aside cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty for instructions. Now that Lu Jili has surrendered to the enemy, if he If you sell the place where our army camped to the Xirong people, then the Xirong people will attack them soon, and the safety of the king and Duke Qi will not be guaranteed, please make plans early and move the camp!"
Hearing the general's words, Wu Jiu seemed to wake up suddenly, raised his hand, stretched out his black sleeve robe, and said, "No, don't move the camp, let the Xirong people come here."
When he said this, the generals in the camp instantly looked at each other, not knowing what Wu Jiao meant, they all looked puzzled...
"Report-!! General Chu, Lu Jili has arrived!"
A group of Xirong soldiers escorted a tall man. The man's hands were bound by chains and his weapons were seized. He walked forward silently without any expression on his face. He stepped down and walked into the Xingyuan of the Xirong people on Fushan.
The bonfire in the campfire was soaring into the sky, filled with the sound of laughter. Soldiers gathered around the bonfire, laughing and drinking, pouring the wine into the fire, and there was a loud "huh--", the fire seemed to be a fire dragon, soaring into the sky, Roaring, screaming, laughing.
Lu Jili walked forward slowly, his eyes were lowered, but he could still see from the corner of his eye that those Xirong soldiers were drinking wine from Chu State, and what they were pouring was wine captured from Chu State. It was supposed to be rations to reward the three armies.
As Lu Jili walked all the way in, the soldiers of Xirong stopped laughing immediately, and the laughter gradually quieted down one by one. They all focused on Lu Jili, but Lu Jili didn't see it at all, and continued to walk forward.
Soon, a tall general of Xirong came out of the camp and said, "General Lu from Chu State is here, why don't you invite General Lu in?!"
As he spoke, the soldiers behind him immediately pushed and shoved Lu Jili, but he didn't expect that Lu Jili was tall and stable, and he stood on the ground as if he had taken root. When the soldier pushed, his wrist "clicked", Almost flashed.
Lu Jili sneered and said, "Jili is here to surrender, not to be a prisoner of war."
As he spoke so loudly, he heard the sound of clapping his hands, and then a voice came from the tent, "General Lu is invited."
Then Lu Jili went straight into the camp. In the tent, all the generals of Xirong were present, drinking and eating meat, looking at Lu Jili.
Lu Jili stood in the middle of the tent, being scrutinized by everyone.
The general sitting at the top smiled and said, "General Lu, are you here to surrender?"
Lu Jili said, "Exactly."
As he was speaking, another Xirong general said: "General, don't believe his nonsense, they are the most scheming people, and they don't have a half-truth."
Another person said: "It's the general. I heard that the Chu general who was captured a few days ago is the son of Lu Jili. Maybe Lu Jili pretended to surrender to save his son!"
"Yeah yeah."
For a moment, everyone in the camp was echoing, but Lu Jili suddenly laughed twice, seeming to be very happy.
General Na Xirong said, "General Lu, why are you laughing?"
Lu Jili said flatly: "Ji Li laughed because all the generals here don't understand Ji Li at all, and what they said was completely wrong, that's why Ji Li laughed."
General Xirong said, "Oh? How could you be so wrong?"
Although Lu Jili's hands were tied, he didn't feel weak at all, he just said coldly: "First, Ji Li is not from Jing, Ji Li is the successor of Lu State, the Jing people destroyed our Lu State, Swallow my rivers and mountains, Ji Li can't wait to eat their flesh and drink their blood!"
The Xirong people immediately looked at each other, looked at Lu Jili, Lu Jili said again: "Secondly, Lu Yangchuang...is not my son at all."
General Xirong smiled and said, "Oh, he is Lu Shi, and you are Lu Shi too. He is not your son, so who is he?"
Just as Lu Jili was about to speak, General Xirong raised his hand to stop his words, and instead said to the lieutenant next to him: "Go, invite General Pi from Chu."
Lu Jili's eyes moved slightly. After the officer went out, he soon heard the sound of soldiers shouting outside, followed by the sound of footsteps. With a sound of "哗啦——", the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a figure was slammed Push it in, let out a "boom!", and fall directly to the ground.
Lu Jili looked down and saw that it was Lu Yangchuang. Lu Yangchuang was covered in blood. He must have been tortured. He seemed to have taken a breath. After being pushed in, he fell to the ground and was unconscious.
Lu Jili looked at the comatose Lu Yangchuang, and quickly looked away, only staying for a short moment.
General Xirong seemed to be watching his expression, and said, "Wake up General Chu."
"Wow!!!" With a sound, the deputy general casually poured the wine on the case directly on Lu Yangchuang's face.
"what--"
Lu Yangchuang woke up suddenly from being choked, and at the same time his body kept twitching, his body was covered with wounds, stained with alcohol, he was in unspeakable pain, his eyes were red from pain, and the chains on his body made a "crash--" trembling sound.
Lu Yangchuang woke up to the laughter of the Xirong people, but he didn't know that when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jianli.
Lu Yangchuang was so tortured that he didn't have any strength at all, but now he woke up suddenly, his voice was hoarse and he didn't have much strength, so he said weakly: "Father!"
Lu Jili didn't look at him, he didn't even give Lu Yangchuang a look at this moment.
General Xirong smiled and said, "General Lu, you can speak now."
Lu Jili said indifferently: "Lu Yangchuang is not my son."
Lu Yangchuang's ears were still buzzing, but when he heard this sentence, he was about to explode, struggling to get up from the ground, but he was bound with chains and tortured, he couldn't get up at all, he was just weak Said: "Father...you...what did you say?"
Lu Jili still didn't look at him, and continued: "Lu Yangchuang is the evil offspring of the old thief of King Wu and his own clan sister. God is angry because of such a scandal, so when Lu Yangchuang was born, his eyes were born. Disabled, he is not my son at all. In order to cover up his scandal, the old thief of King Wu married his estranged sister to me, and asked me to help him raise wild species. The general said, such a shameful humiliation,
