Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

It rained all night and stopped the next day.Xiong Lu put on his military uniform and went to the altar of the Jongmyo together with the soldiers who were preparing to go out.

When the soldiers arrived outside the ancestral temple, Guan Fuxiu and the young girls in the ancestral temple were already waiting here.Xiong Lu stood on the sacrificial altar, looking down at the uniform army, his heart was full of pride.

On the altar, a raging fire was burning.Guan Fuxiu was dressed in red, like a phoenix bathing in fire, standing in the center of the sacrificial altar.The wind brushed his hair, and the wide sleeves were blown up by the wind, as if he would ride the wind away at any time.

Xiong Lu has never seen Guan Fuxiu in red clothes, but thinks that the clothes are very energetic and beautiful.He recited the prayer aloud, threw the tortoise shell into the fire, and fell quietly on the ground.After a quarter of an hour, the fire gradually extinguished.Guan Fuxiu took out the tortoise shell from the cauldron, identified the cracks on the tortoise shell, and said: "The first emperor instructed that the battle is auspicious, and it is best to start at noon."

All the soldiers were overjoyed after hearing the result of the divination.The Xiong couple doesn't know divination, and they don't know whether the result is really a result of divination, or just to calm people's minds.However, he is optimistic.

At noon, Xiong Lushuai Chu's army marched out of the city in mighty strength, leaving only about one-third of the troops to stay in Yingdu.The destination of their trip is Ludi. After Jili forces the Moren and Baipu back, they will join them to fight against the Yong army.After Xiong Lu left the city, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because he hadn't learned how to ride a horse yet.Although he wanted to ride a horse to Ludi, but he was afraid that he would lose face if he couldn't, so he had no choice but to sit quietly in the carriage.

Before leaving, Guan Fuxiu walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, just concentrate on dealing with mediocre people. Fuxiu will go to Sanmiao personally to persuade the Miao people and the Ba people to retreat. If Fuxiu returns successfully, he will Go to Ludi to meet you."

Xiong Lu nodded and said, "The journey is long, so be careful."

The carriage was driving towards Ludi, the weather on the road was not good, but fortunately there was no heavy rain.Xiong Lu sat in the car, looking at the gloomy weather, unconsciously continued to be in a daze.This is going to war, Xiong Lu felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what to do when he couldn't make up his mind without Guan Fuxiu by his side.Since Guan Fuxiu decided to go to Sanmiao, he believed that he would be able to convince the Miao people and the Ba people.

After walking on the road for a day, the front came to report, and the men and Baipu retreated as expected.The morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted, and they speeded up to Ludi, trying to join Ji Li's army as soon as possible.Xiong Lu looked at the big red "Chu" on the military flag, and secretly vowed in his heart that this battle must be won.Not only for the people of Chu State, but also for himself.Now that you are in this position, you have to be responsible to this country and its subjects.

Three days later, the Chu army led by Xiong Lu arrived at Ludi.At this time, Ji Li's army was in a fierce battle with mediocre people. It is understood that the Chu army was not pleased in this battle, and Ji Li's lieutenants were all taken away by mediocre people.That evening, he met Ji Li.This man was King Zhuang's savior, so he showed great respect and bowed deeply to him.

Ji Li hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not be a minister!"

Ji Li was around thirty, with good facial features and a scholarly temperament, not like a general.I heard that he used tricks to lure and kill Dou Ke and son Xie who kidnapped King Zhuang out of the city, so this person should be a very intelligent person.

Several important soldiers were discussing countermeasures in the camp, and Xiong Lu asked, "Commander Ji, how is the battle going on in Ludi?"

Ji Li knelt down and said: "This is my first time in command, and I have insufficient experience, so that the deputy general Zi Yang was captured by the enemy, and I ask the king to punish him."

"Please hurry up, the overall situation is the most important thing now, don't say anything about punishing crimes. You all know the art of war, what's your plan for this situation?"

Pan Chong and Yu Qiuzi were getting old and had to stay at Yingdu, Shen Gong and witch officials did not come.Accompanying him this time were Dou Ban, Lu Jia, Pan Xie, Wu Ju and others.Zi Fan wanted to come, but Xiong Lu refused to let him, but Ju Ao followed. His father said that he would let him come out to experience and gain experience.

After listening to Ji Li's description, everyone fell into deep thought.The mediocrity is booming, and they are clamoring outside the city.At this moment, they are arrogant and have the help of a group of savages, so it is really difficult to deal with them.Luo Jia asked, "What's the situation at the border of Doujiao Da Sima? Is there any news?"

The spies said: "Great Sima is fighting with Shanrong, and the outcome is hard to tell."

Luo Jia murmured: "Besides mediocre people, there are also barbarians... Is it possible that you really want to borrow soldiers?"

"Borrow soldiers?" Xiong Lu asked in surprise, where did you borrow soldiers from?

Dou Ban said: "Luo Gongzheng, our Chu army has arrived at the front of the formation, and before we start fighting, we are thinking of borrowing troops, isn't it too weak?"

Luo Jiaying said: "Dou Lingyin, Chu is surrounded by enemies. In addition to mediocre people, there are also Shanrong, Ba people, Miao people, and other barbarians. Even if we beat the mediocre people, the rest of the army will rush forward. Even if the army wins this battle, it will definitely suffer losses. If it can be used by soldiers, it will be beneficial and harmless."

The bear couple's mind was confused again.He knew that this era was the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were many vassal states.But when he came to this world, he was in the state of Chu, and all he heard was the situation in the state of Chu, and he had no idea about other countries.He couldn't figure out, if Chu State borrowed troops at this time, which country should it borrow?Looking for the nearest Zheng Guo?Song country?Uh... how many other countries are next to Chu, I can't remember...

Ruo Ao stood aside, seeing his father in a difficult situation, he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent need for someone to be employed at the front line. Ruo Ao doesn't know martial arts, so staying here won't do much good. I implore your majesty to grant Ruo Ao the status of envoy and send Ruo Ao Ao is going to Qin. Ruo Ao will persuade the king of Qin to borrow troops to relieve my urgent need."

Qin?Is it actually Qin?

Luo Jia nodded and said, "That's right, it is precisely to borrow troops from the King of Qin. Master Pan Xipan, what do you think?"

Pan Yu touched the sword at his waist, and said: "I think it is feasible. Qin and I, Chu Tong, are against Jin. If Chu is in danger and no one joins Qin to fight against Jin, Qin will be in a difficult situation. As long as Knowing the truth, I think... Qin Jun should send troops to help me Dachu."

Xiong Lu turned to Dou Ban, and found that he was deep in thought.Since Douban is considering the feasibility of this matter, that is to say, it is possible to try to borrow troops from Qin.

"Luo Ao, do you know how long it will take to borrow troops from Qin?" Xiong Lu asked.

Luo Ao said, "Go on horseback for four days, come here for four days, stay for one day, and return to Ludi should be at least ten days later."

If it takes such a long time, then we have to make a timely decision and send envoys as soon as possible.He turned to Ji Li again and asked, "General Ji, how long do you think you can last with your current strength?"

"It's okay to last for more than half a month. It's easy to change after a long time, and it won't be clear when the time comes."

"That's good." Xiong Lu looked around, "Everyone thinks it's safer to borrow troops from Qin, right? Then we need to send envoys in time. There are many dangers outside, and it may not be appropriate for Luo Ao to go alone. Who wants to go together?"

Wu Ju stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go. You and I can go to Qin with only about 20 elite soldiers."

"Do you have any objections?"

Dou Ban shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Dou Ban has no objection, it is better to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible. If you decide to go on the road, prepare water and food immediately, and set off immediately."

Luo Jia looked at his son, worried, and said, "Ao'er, you must listen to Dr. Wu Ju's words when you go this time. The two of you will discuss more on the way. Once you succeed in borrowing troops, return to Chu immediately."

Luo Ao nodded and said, "Understood, father."

When the discussion came to fruition, Xiong Lu immediately wrote a document for the two of them and stamped it with a seal, and Luo Jia also selected elite soldiers and prepared food for his son.After everything was settled, a team of dozens of people set off in the starry night.They will go to Qin State, and those who stay will face the army of Yong State.

They had been stationed in Ludi for three days, but due to the fact that mediocre people won consecutive battles, they did not take the initiative to attack.And the mediocre people seemed to be too busy celebrating, throwing a big feast with the looted food, and didn't pay much attention to the Chu army.The battle was at a stalemate like this, and the couple of bears walked up and down in the camp depressingly, sighing.

Alas, why didn't we study tactics and art of war well back then?What I have learned so far is not enough.

He wanted to fight this battle, but he didn't want to.Although their army was small, it belonged to the king's division of Yingdu, and they were all carefully selected soldiers, and their combat effectiveness should be excellent.Maybe they came here, united with the soldiers in Ludi, and they can clean up the mediocre people in one fell swoop.However, from Ji Li's mouth, that mediocre person is not easy to deal with.If they attack rashly and lose again, they won't have much chance of winning.Therefore, their current thinking is to delay the time as much as possible, and wait for the Qin army to arrive soon before attacking mediocre people.Or wait for the mediocre to attack again, and then they will use soldiers to deal with it.

He stepped out of the tent and wandered on the tower.Looking down, many wounded soldiers were resting against the city wall wrapped in bandages.During this period, the medical conditions were very backward. Even if it was a minor injury, if it was infected, it would be fatal.He didn't want to see Chu army casualties, the less injured people the better.With this in mind, you can't act rashly.

However, what about the people in the city outside the city that was captured by mediocre people?Their food was looted and their lives were threatened.how are they doing

Between fighting and not fighting, the Xiong couple was extremely entangled.

On the night of the third day, Xiong Lu was resting in the tent, when suddenly someone rushed over and reported: "My lord, Marshal Li's deputy general Zi Yang has escaped from mediocrity!" The voice was quite excited.

What?The couple of bears almost leaped to their feet.This lieutenant general was able to escape by himself, he is really a man of gods.In this way, it will be clear what is going on with mediocre people.

The author has something to say: Regarding this war, someone basically wrote according to "Zuo Zhuan":

The people of Chu sought to emigrate to Ban Gao.Luo Jia said: "Impossible. I can go there, and the bandits can live there. It is better to attack Yong. The husband and Baipu say that I am too hungry to be a teacher, so they attack me. If I leave the teacher, I will return in fear. Baipu leaves home and will Everyone goes to his own place, who has time to seek people?" He left the teacher.There are five days in Xun, and Baipu will stop.Since the past, Zhenlin has eaten together.Second to sentence.Make Lu Jili invade Yong, and Yongfang City.The mediocre chase them away, and the prisoner raises the window.Three nights away, he said: "There are many mediocre teachers, and a group of savages gather together. It is better to return to the master, and raise up the king's pawns, and then advance." The uncle said: "No. I met him again and I am proud. He is arrogant and I am angry. , and then you can overcome it, the former king took the risk, so he obeyed the scorpion." I met him again, and all seven encounters were north, but the bei, minnow, and murloc actually chased them.

The mediocre said: "Chu is not enough to fight." So there is no equipment.Chu Zi rides on the swan, meets his teacher at Linpin, and divides into two teams, Ziyue from Shixi, Zibei from Climbing, and cutting down Yong.The people of Qin and Ba followed Chu, and the barbarians followed Chu Zimeng.Then destroy Yong.
