Chapter 618: How Quick Is Retribution? King Chu Zhao vomited blood, and Yanling was empty
There is a Xiong Zhen who married the daughter of Gou Jian, which was mentioned above, and will not be discussed in detail here.
This sentence is like drawing a home for Gou Jian, Gou Jian was extremely angry when he heard this, but he couldn't speak, because Gaoru blocked his mouth with his hand, held him down forcefully, and didn't let him speak.
Seeing this, a sneer flashed at the corner of King Chu Zhao's mouth, but it quickly disappeared, and he beckoned to the guards on the left and right to "protect Gou Jian" and send him back to his big tent.
At this moment, a man with a disfigured figure, a pale face, and almost collapsed, was carried in by two Chu soldiers, and behind them there was a stretcher carried by the Chu soldiers, and the stretcher was obviously a dead man, because the body was stinking.
In the big tent, all the civil and military officers of the Chu State were shocked when they saw the appearance of the person who came, and their hearts jumped wildly, and Xiong Zhen jumped directly and ran from the throne to the direction of the prostration.
"The king, the minister is guilty!" The man who collapsed, when he saw Queen Chu Zhao, pounced, knelt down, and then howled and cried.
The prostration man is none other than Zhong Jian, the sister-in-law of King Chu Zhao who escaped by luck in the battle of the Yangtze River south of Qi Chu Guangling!
The stinky corpse on the stretcher, the generals of the Chu State naturally knew it, it was Zuo Sima Wu Jubei under the command of the general, but wasn't he in Guangling, how did he die?
Zhong Jian cried, and after telling the story of the matter, King Zhao of Chu took three steps back: The Battle of Guangling and the Battle of the Yangtze River, the Chu army of nearly 60,000 people was over?
"Oh no!"
King Chu Zhao kicked over the desk in front of him, and then spat out blood with a whin.
Gou Jian and his subordinates, who were still in the king's tent, sneered again and again after seeing and hearing about it, and how quickly did they call for retribution?
King Chu Zhao's vomiting of blood made everyone in the king's tent panic for a while, and King Chu Zhao held down the crowd and said that he was fine, but when he saw and heard the expressions of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom looking at him and the cool words he said, he was furious, pulled out his sword, and hacked to death eight of Wu's ministers, and finally only Gaoru and Gou Jian were left, and they were only pulled by everyone.
The smell of blood in the king's tent was tangy, which made Yin Zixi sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that his own king would do such a hurtful thing to flood Lake City, if he knew that he would definitely oppose it, but now, the matter has been done, and it is useless to complain, he asked the guards to escort Gou Jian and Gaoru away, and ordered people to take care of them, and finally said: "King, this is already the case, it is useless to leave anger and sadness, and now it is to deal with the current situation." ”
Zixi paused when he said this, and then said, "One, do we still want to annex the Yue Kingdom; Second, the State of Qi declared war on the State of Han instead of our State of Chu, the Battle of Guangling, the Battle of the Yangtze River, we are dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and we can't say it if we are reasonable, how should we deal with it......"
Just as Zixi was speaking, another sergeant of the Chu army ran into the tent: "Report, Wang Sunsheng, urgent secret letter ......"
When King Chu Zhao heard this, he subconsciously felt that something bad had happened, and when he picked up the secret letter and read it, his whole face was like ashes: "Qi people, deceive people too much!" ”
According to the secret letter, it was the matter of Hua Zhou's 100,000 troops pressing the border, Zhong Liguo being annexed by Qi State, and Bai Gongsheng asking for help.
When everyone in the tent heard this, they looked at each other, and they didn't know how to deal with the news that came one after another.
On the ancient Yangtze River, Lu Di looked at the land not far away, the land was at the intersection with the river and the bank, and there was a stone tablet on it, and the word Yanling was written in Wu script on the stone tablet.
Seeing this, Lu Di patted the railing of the boat building, and sighed in his heart: I have been sailing on the river for nearly two days, and I have suffered for two days, and today is finally here.
After everyone rushed to the beach and landed, nearly 20,000 elite troops were lined up in a battle team, and Lu Di arranged for Fan Li, asking him to lead the naval army to stay here in case of accidents, while he led the troops after the landing to the direction of Yanling.
Yanling, like other Wu cities, is made of stone, looking at the towering and heavy city wall, Lu Di knocked his finger on the chariot, and thought to himself, if there are 3,000 soldiers to defend the city, his 20,000 army will have to attack for at least a month to take it.
He looked at the bamboo and wood forest on the side of the road, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with these, he could make the public transport squad build enough siege ladders in ten days, and with siege ladders, the cost of capturing the city would be smaller.
Lu Dihao's mighty army came and walked until the gate of the city, which had not yet caused the people in Yanling City to wake up, and Lu Di wondered, could this be an empty city?
At this moment, Lu Di saw an old man sweeping the ground with a very old broom not far from the street, he asked the army behind him to stop, got off the military cart and walked to the old man and bowed down and said, "Hello, old man." Where are the people in this city? Also, why didn't so many of us hear the drums on the drum tower? Are you not afraid that we are thieves who come and plunder the city? ”
Lu Di asked a few questions, the old man first continued to sweep his ground as if he hadn't seen or heard, and when Lu Di said the four words thieves attacking the city, he stopped the broom in his hand, looked up at Lu Di, and then looked at the mighty elite Qi army lined up like a long dragon can't see the end.
"Thieves attacking the city? What did they attack the city for? ”
"Food and possessions? The city's food and belongings have long been emptied! ”
"Plundering the population? Haha, there are only old immortals like me left in this city, what are they plundering for? ”
With that, the old man continued to sweep his floor in the streets.
Lu Di frowned when he heard this, the generals behind him naturally didn't believe it, and Dongmen Wuze led people to the city to start "sweeping", and finally came back with an expression of spreading his hands and being depressed.
Lu Di saw that the army had already controlled the important place of the city, so he had no scruples, he walked to the old man and bowed down again to ask, who expected the old man to stop with a broom, and pointed to the stone mill under the big mulberry tree not far away: "The population you want to make a book, as well as the seal of this Yanling, are all on the grinding plate, if you want it, take it."
With that, he began to sweep his ground again.
When Lu Di heard the old man say this, he looked at Zhang Mengtan and looked at each other, Xiong Yifang ran to the stone mill and hugged a pile of books and a bronze seal.
After Zhang Mengtan stepped forward to check, he nodded at Lu Di, who took a deep breath and bowed his waist again: "Qi Guo Lu Di, meet your uncle." ”
Lu Di's words surprised everyone behind him, could it be that this old man sweeping the floor is Doctor Yanling Weisheng (Zhengsheng)?
There is a Wu family tree, which is also said to be a levy.
The old man looked at Lu Di and suddenly laughed: "Uncle, uncle? ”
The old man smiled and shed tears, everyone looked at each other, I don't know what to say, uncle, what's wrong with uncle?
