Chapter 605 Bandits come down the mountain! The water bandits come out of the water! The savages are in trouble! The people rebelled!
No matter how hard King Qi of Chu tried to verify, he could not conclude that Zhuang Jia had deceived him.
Because Zhuang Jia never told a lie to King Qi of Chu!
At most, it is just using exaggerated rhetorical techniques.
Even those exaggerated rhetoric cannot be verified because of the fierce fighting and the difficulty of entering Xiapi.
July 1st.
As news came back from all parties, Chu Wang Qi’s trust in Xiang Yan quickly declined.
He finally withstood the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty, completely gave up the encirclement and suppression of the Qin-Qi coalition guerrilla forces, and recalled Zhaoyun's troops.
On the same day, more than twenty young and strong men dressed as rangers also traveled across mountains and rivers and sneaked into the hinterland of Chu State.
“Who is coming?!”
With a loud shout and an explosion, these young and strong men unsheathed their swords and subconsciously formed an army formation.
Standing in the middle of the formation, Lifu raised his hands in all directions and shouted loudly: "Walking in the world is only for righteousness. If you want to be a hero, don't be stingy with money."
"The second leader of Guishan, Lifu, please serve me as a turtle. Order from the master of Shanda, come and pay homage to the hero!”
In the jungle, figures flashed.
A fully armored soldier with his bow drawn and his crossbow strung pointed directly at Rifu with a crossbow arrow in his hand, and his murderous intent swept over him unabashedly.
Behind the soldiers, a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor sat casually under the tree, holding a wine gourd in his right hand, looking at Li Fu with a half-smile: "The old village has not been leveled and the new one has been established. The new person replaces the old one?”
“Have you asked Mr. Ge about what Guishan Yishi did?”
If there is a Fuli Ranger here, he will definitely recognize the person in front of him. person’s identity.
This person is clearly the former leader of the Fuli Guishan Bandits.
Ge Ping!
Lifu showed a hearty smile: "Once you have mastered Ling Yunzhi, why should you stingy the triple thatch in the mountains!"
"Lifu, the commander of the Great Qin Village, pays homage to Captain Gejia!"
The secret code for the joint is correct. , Ge Ping stood up, strode towards Li Fu, held up Li Fu's arms with both hands: "I led Liao Liu brothers all the way from Xiapi City to Wucheng City, and traveled more than a thousand miles."
< br>"Good brother, you've suffered!"
Ge Ping's voice was gentle and pitiful. After patting Lifu's arm hard, Ge Ping shouted cheerfully like a close and good brother:
"Brothers, bring out the good wine, good meat and good girls."
"Tonight, I will not return home until I get drunk with the brothers who have come from afar!"
Ge Ping pretended to be a captain. How could Lifu not be moved when his status reached such an extent!
But Lifu still suppressed his abundant emotions and spoke in as serious a voice as possible: "Captain Gejia."
"At the end of the day, the general will be responsible for the general's orders, so he must be the first to pass on the general's orders!"
Ge Ping patted his forehead and said with a carefree smile: "It turns out that I have been out for too long and my temper has become a little wild."
"Captain Lifu is right, I should pass on the general's orders first!" ”
Take two steps back, Ge Ping stood with his head bowed.
Li Fu took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and after checking the mud seal letter with Ge Ping, he carefully cut open the mud seal with a knife, took out the bamboo slip, and recited in a deep voice: "The order of passing the command to the commander-in-chief Cheng Xi. !"
"The fake captain Ge Ping immediately organized his troops and captured Wucheng City."
"Then leave three thousand soldiers and horses to garrison Wucheng City, and lead the remaining troops to Helu City before July 20th!"
"There must be no mistake!"
Ge Ping solemnly He handed over his hands: "Two to five hundred Lieutenant Commander Ge Ping, take the order!"
Took the bamboo slips with both hands and put them back into the bamboo tube, then carefully hid them in his arms. Only then did Ge Ping laugh loudly: "Yesterday Chu General Zhaoyun just led his troops to leave Wucheng City."
"Now why does it take so long for this general to capture Wucheng City!"
Li Fu also smiled: "The commander-in-chief of Chu General Zhaoyun will lead his troops to strengthen the defense of Helu City."
"So before the general left, the commander-in-chief had warned the general."< br>
“If Chu General Zhaoyun has not left yet, we should advise the false captain to wait patiently for a few days, so that we can easily capture Wucheng City.”
Ge Ping was slightly startled: “This matter is unexpected. Is it what the coach expected?”
Ying Chengyu is thousands of miles away from here.
When Ying Chengyu made this judgment, King Qi of Chu had not yet issued an order for Zhaoyun to return reinforcements.
Ge Ping could not understand at all how Ying Chengyu predicted that Zhaoyun would be recalled to Helu City by King Qi of Chu!
Lifu smiled and nodded: "The commander has won consecutive battles and won every attack. It is natural that he could have anticipated Chu's strategy early."
"The only thing the commander is worried about is Captain Ge Jia. How many troops are left after fighting hard behind the enemy lines? "
"Can we still have enough troops to rush to Helu City after dedicating 3,000 troops to defend Wucheng City? "
Ge Ping was delighted: "The coach is actually worried about whether I will have enough energy to rush to Helu City after spending three thousand troops to defend Wucheng City?"
"Hahaha~"
"Coach, you are looking down on me!"
Clapping his hands, Ge Ping shouted loudly: "Brothers!"
"Come out and say hello to your friendly forces!"
The branches swayed and the thorns trembled.
A soldier wearing armor emerged from the tree trunks and grass.
Lifu raised his eyes and saw that there was no end in sight!
Li Fu was dumbfounded and asked, "Could it be that the fake captain Huang, the fake captain Deng, and other fake captains are also here?"
Ge Ping's laughter became more hearty: "The rest are where they belong."
"This place is full of soldiers and horses under my command!"
With a bow in the direction of Xiapi City, Ge Ping said proudly: "The name of Chang'an Jun's benevolence and righteousness has long been spread throughout Chu."
“It’s just that Lord Chang’an sent his army northward after conquering Helu City last year, leaving many brothers with no place to join him.”
“The past events of Yao Shangqing and Zhuang Dian Kecheng are even more disturbing. Many brothers in Chu are yearning for it, and they sigh because they cannot join the army of Lord Chang'an."
"Ge came here now, relying on the name of Lord Chang'an, the benefit of Da Qin, and the righteousness of Mr. Jia, many of whom are brothers. From.”
"Since entering Chu, Ge has commanded more than 8,000 warriors under his command!"
Li Fu opened his mouth in surprise.
It has more than 8,000 people under its jurisdiction?
Your actual position is only the lord of two to five hundred, and the position of captain is just a false position for the purpose of supervising the other two to five hundred lords.
As a result, you actually led more than 8,000 soldiers and horses with the actual position of a mere two to five hundred soldiers, and actually became a captain by your own ability!
Seeing Li Fu's surprised look, Ge Ping was in a good mood and added: "In fact, almost all the bandits in Chu are willing to join our unit."
"Just to keep their whereabouts secret, I have not all Accept."
"Since the commander has given the order to attack the city, there is no need for me to continue hiding."
"I will invite heroes to join our army. .”
“So please don’t worry, coach.”
"The last general must be given full orders!"
Li Fu reluctantly closed his mouth and looked at Ge Ping with eyes filled with admiration: "Captain Ge Jia, a great talent!"
Ge Ping smiled. Shaking his head: "I just borrowed the reputation of Lord Chang'an."
Ge Ping knew very well who those thieves were coming for, so he was not ashamed to receive Lifu's praise.
Putting his arm around Li Fu's shoulders, Ge Ping shouted loudly: "Brothers!" "Kill all the sheep, sheep, wolves and dogs in the camp, and bring out all the drinks!"
"Tonight, let's eat and drink!"
"Tomorrow, follow me down the mountain and perform meritorious service!"
More than eight thousand soldiers shouted excitedly:
" Go down the mountain!”
……
The next day.
Zhen Ze.
Peng Yue stood at the head of the fishing boat, and behind Peng Yue, various small boats filled the lake.
After docking the boat on the shore, Peng Yue jumped to the shore first.
Pulling out the sword at his waist, Peng Yue shouted wildly: "My sons, listen to the order!"
"Out of the water!"
...
Day again.
Outside Yuer City.
Huang Kuang solemnly bowed his hands to a group of old, weak, women and children in ragged clothes and bowed deeply.
"You trust Huang, trust Chang'an Lord, trust Da Qin, and are willing to hand over your child to Huang."
"Huang will live up to the trust of all your fathers!"
< br>"I may not be able to make you live a good life, but at least!"
"At least I will earn you a fair share of the opportunity to be promoted with your hands and blood!"
Turning around, Huang Kuang shook his right arm and shouted in a serious voice: "Brothers!"
"Follow me to cause trouble!"
......
Again day.
Wuyuan City.
Jingpo placed a smooth stone on the table and looked at Zhaojiong, the fake county official of Wuyuan City, with a smile.
"How does Mr. Zhaoxian view the general trend of the world today?"
Zhao Jiong raised his eyes to look at Jingpo and said in an unhappy voice: "I respect you as the eldest son of the Jing family, so I give you a little respect. "
"Not only did I not arrest you, I even prepared a banquet for you with fine food and wine."
"But if you are not grateful, but go to lobby for Qin, don't blame me. I don’t miss the feelings of Qu Jingzhao and his family anymore!”
Jingpo seemed not to have heard Zhao Jiong's threat. He placed another stone on the stone and asked with a smile: "Why didn't Duke Zhao answer?"
"Is it that Duke Zhao didn't know?"< br>
“Or is it that Duke Zhao doesn’t dare to answer?”
Zhao Jiong looked at Jingpo coldly, but did not speak.
But in Jingpo's view, Zhaojiong's speechlessness at this moment was also an answer!
Jingpo raised a third stone and asked casually: "Two years ago, the King of Qin accepted a daughter of Qu's family as a beauty and three daughters of Qu's family as a beloved man."
"It is said that Qu's daughter was a beautiful woman." The beauty is pregnant and is about to give birth to a son."
"Although I have no daughter to marry into the palace of Qin, my daughter is Qin Changan Jun Xiaoxing."
< br>"After this battle, I can also become the captain of the Qin army."
"What preparations has the Zhao family made for this general trend of the world?"
Zhaojiong replied with a cold voice: "I, the Zhao family, am loyal to Dachu!"
"Loyal?" Jingpo raised his eyes as if he heard a joke, chuckled and shook his head: "Hahaha~"
< br>"You and I are common people, so don't say such ridiculous things."
"The Zhao family has not developed a branch in Qin to this day, but it is just because the Zhao family has not yet found a branch. A good opportunity, right?”
Zhao Jiong was speechless.
The so-called loyalty is really just a joke.
Because it is not that the Zhao family has never developed branches in Qin.
However, in recent years, the branch veins that have spread out are still struggling at the mid-level and have no time to take care of themselves. The branch veins that spread out in the early years have lost contact with the main vein over time, and many of them are older. Even the family name has been changed.
If the Chu Kingdom is destroyed, none of the Zhao family members will be able to seek refuge with others.
On the other hand, the Qu and Jing clans have both married their daughters to the kings of Qin in recent years, and quickly formed a branch that has a deep relationship with the main clan and has some status in Qin.
In the Chu State, where women had a high status, it was not shameful to seek refuge with the outstanding daughter of the clan, but it was a very common practice.
The children of the Jing family can not only defect to Mi Tian, but they can even defect to Jingpo!
Compared with the Qu and Jing clans.
Zhao family?
Nothing!
There was a little more struggle on Zhao Jiong's face: "Now, it is not a good opportunity!"
"I cannot put my Zhao family in an unjust place because of my own selfishness, let alone my own selfishness." And the king does not believe me, Zhao!"
"Such important matters must be reported to the clan first and followed by the clan leader's orders!"
Zhao Jiong knew very well why Jingpo came.
But Zhaojiong really didn’t dare to accept it easily.
After all, Jingpo surrendered after being defeated and captured.
Although Jingpo’s move will be disliked by others, it is much better than simply surrendering with the city!
If Zhaojiong really surrenders with Wuyuan City, can Zhaojiong still be around?
The reputation of the Zhao family is gone!
Jingpo piled up the fourth stone. Looking at the crumbling stone wall, Jingpo said in a calm voice: "Opportunity will not come until you are ready."
"There are many opportunities, and if you miss them, you will live forever!"
"I, the Jing family, dare to use the reputation and life of the eldest son of the patriarch to gain an opportunity."
"The Zhao family does not dare to use one Do you want to take a chance on the reputation and life of the famous concubine?”
“Now that the wall is coming down, if Zhao Shi can push it forward, he will still have some involvement.”
“But. If we wait until this stone wall has collapsed..."
While talking, Jingpo picked up the fifth stone.
Looking at Jingpo's movements, Zhaojiong suddenly stood up and swept towards the stone wall before Jingpo could make a move!
"Wow~"
Four stones were knocked out by Zhao Jiong with great force, jumping and rolling on the ground.
Looking at the empty tables, the corners of Jingpo's mouth turned up slightly: "There is a wise man."
"Be a defector!"
