Fall in love with the Night God
Chapter 39 The Crisis of Food and Grass
Sha Shalong and Li Yi led their troops into the Sakura Casino overnight. Except for a few old women doing odd jobs, the rest was empty.
Shao Jianzhi led his people into Yinghe Garden, where only a few prostitutes and madams were left. Yao Ji has disappeared. He led people to search Yao Ji's room. An officer accidentally stepped on a brick on the ground, prompting the mechanism to activate, and the secret passage was revealed.
Shao Jianzhi led people into the underground passage. They quietly followed the underground passage and came to a large cave entrance with flickering fire. A huge underground space appeared in front of them, which was transformed from a natural stone cave.
All the soldiers present were stunned. No wonder it could hide more than 500 people and has not yet been discovered.
There are still a few remaining forces in the cave, and about thirty people are gathering in the huge hall to gamble.
Shao Jianzhi quickly ordered his men to surround them. He shouted loudly: "You guys, Xiaoxiao, quickly surrender and capture you. I can spare your lives."
The officers and soldiers who rushed in made them unable to fight, and they drew their swords and faced each other.
Shao Jian's draw of the sword: "Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy."
The two parties clashed, and the underground hall became a battlefield. Shao Jian took the lead, killing all the way, and blood flowed down the tip of the sword.
Sha Shalong and Li Yi also found the underground darkroom. They fought with the killer hiding in the secret passage all the way to the hall. The two parties met in the underground darkroom, annihilating more than fifty people in one fell swoop and capturing eight or nine little boys. Li Yi asked them:
"What to do with these children? They are only ten years old!"
Shazilong saw that they were still young and felt pity: "They are all captured children who were trained to be killers. Let's keep them alive and bring them back to the camp and let Dan Gong deal with them."
When the group returned to the camp, Sha Shao and others went into the tent to report to Tan Gong.
In the early morning, Shao Jianzhi led three hundred elite troops to pursue Chu Yu in the direction of his march.
………………
Chu Yu led his troops to march on the mountain road. The mountains here are endless, the terrain is rugged, and the official road is built in the mountains.
In the evening, the army came to an open area and was about to set up camp and rest when a scout from the front came to report.
"Report——"
"There are enemy troops stationed fifty miles ahead. The pass was temporarily built with wood and stone. Maybe they just arrived in the past two days."
Chu Yu and the deputy general next to him looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.
Chu Yu ordered: "Set up camp on the spot, rest, and place the food and grass in high places."
The soldiers were on the road for four consecutive days. Their troops and horses were exhausted and needed to rest and recuperate in preparation for tomorrow's key battle.
In the middle of the night, a group of men in black came to the hill. This group was the Ghost Shadow Department led by Nujiao. When they learned that Chu Yu had led his troops out of the camp, they gathered everyone to pursue him, hoping to find an opportunity to assassinate Chu Yu again along the way.
On the way, he received a secret order from his lord Fei Ge: burn the grain and grass and kill Chu Yu.
They sneaked to the outside of the grain camp, which was heavily guarded, so they divided into two groups. One group went to the barracks to create chaos, and the other group waited for the opportunity to prevent the fire from burning grain and grass.
There was chaos in the barracks ahead, and the soldiers in the grain and grass camp also ran halfway through in panic.
The leader was Gui Niang (Yao Ji). She immediately led people into the military camp and set fire to the grain pile when she saw it. The soldiers stationed there fought in a melee with them.
The ghost girl shouted: "Don't be obsessed with fighting, retreat"
The group of people appeared and evacuated quickly like ghosts. The nvjiao who was fighting in the camp saw the food and grass campfires burning on the hillside from a distance. She thought that the ghost girl had succeeded, so she immediately gave the order.
"evacuate"
The masked man next to Mrs. Nvjiao blew a whistle, and everyone quickly evacuated to the rear.
It seems that they did not expect that a main force of Chu Yu was already waiting for them at the entrance of the valley!
The battle to close the net has begun.
........................
Chu Yu was sitting in the tent, waiting for his men to bring people back. He was holding a sword with one hand, the blood on the sword had not yet been wiped clean, and his other hand was lighting regularly on the armrest of the table and chair.
He thought about Bai Qing, and the corners of his mouth rose up unconsciously, and his eyes were so deep that there was a hint of tenderness. The clever idea Bai Qing came up with was exactly what he wanted.
The two of them laid such a careful trap just waiting for these people to fall into their trap.
At this time, a young deputy general came in with a group of soldiers escorting Mrs. Nvjiao and the three masked men.
The three people whose masks were taken off stared at Chu Yu fiercely, with bloodshot eyes still flowing down from the corners of their mouths. Mrs. Nvjiao smiled sinisterly, gritting her teeth as she looked at Chu Yu, with the veins on her face exposed.
The young deputy general reported: "General Chu, everyone has been captured. There are more than 400 people in total, and most of them are dead."
Chu Yu asked: "Where are those people burning grain and grass?"
"Well, those are all gone. The general is incompetent. Please punish me." The deputy general hesitated for a moment and knelt down to blame himself. This deputy general is Li Hu, who is twenty-seven years old and has been with Chu Yu for ten years. He was promoted from a young soldier. He is loyal and has extraordinary combat prowess.
"Get up, it's not strange," Chu Yu said, pointing to the four people behind him.
"Yes"
The deputy general stood up and escorted the four people to Chu Yu.
"Who are you?" Chu Yu asked the charming lady.
"I am the one who wants your life!" Mrs. Nvjiao said harshly. The three ghost guards beside her also resisted angrily, but their hands and feet were tied and they were pinned to the ground unable to move.
Chu Yu laughed. He smiled very freely. He had been in the army for twenty years and lived a life of licking blood every day. From an unknown soldier to a third-level general, the cruelty of the battlefield had already made him fearless of life and death. Now he has become a dead man in a dark alley. The products are quite interesting!
"There are quite a few people who want my life. Who ordered you?"
Mrs. Nvjiao's hatred remains as strong as before, and she does not show any weakness in her words: "You don't need to know, as long as someone can kill you, even an ant is a hero in our hearts."
There was a chill in Chu Yu's eyes. He stood up and came to Mrs. Nvjiao and circled around her. He said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, you are the secret guard of Northern Qin and the assassin of the royal family. The person who assassinated me twice was under your command."
"Since you know, why bother asking! If you want to kill or behead, come on! I'm not afraid of you!" Mrs. Nvjiao said with a cruel smile.
"I don't kill women, but..." Chu Yu moved his eyes to the other three people.
The soldier behind him realized what was going on and drew his sword to kill one of the ghost guards. The man fell to the ground. Mrs. Nvjiao looked back desperately at the fallen guard, who was her loyal servant.
The ghost guard next to the deceased shivered in fear. He shouted: "Madam, I can no longer protect you. I took a step ahead of schedule!"
After saying that, the soldiers behind him sent him home with a knife.
Chu Yu walked to the last killer with his sword in hand.
"Chu Yu, if you want to get useful information, you have to keep him alive," Mrs. Nvjiao shouted desperately to Chu Yu.
That ghost guard is Mrs. Nvjiao’s biological brother Zeng Jia.
Chu Yu pinched Zeng Jia's chin and asked, "Who instigated you to burn my food and grass?"
"I won't say it, just kill me! Madam, farewell!" Zeng Shen took a deep breath and said calmly.
Zenga is a young man in his twenties. He has an outstanding appearance, has no fear in the face of life and death, and is quite tough.
"Oh, it's you, your brain has recovered." Chu Yu patted his head.
Chu Yu recognized his accent, and he was the killer who was kicked away by Bai Qing that day. It became clear that this group of people was the same group that assassinated him.
"Hmph! Your food and fodder have been destroyed, and your defeat is certain. If we die in exchange for Da Qin's victory, it won't be a loss." Zeng Jia said meaninglessly.
Chu Yu sneered: "Oh, how did you know that all the food and grass were destroyed?"
Madam Nujiao was shocked. Could it be that Gui Niang and the others burned it by mistake? Or have you fallen into a trap? She suddenly collapsed to the ground, speechless.
Chu Yu turned around and said to the deputy general: "Press these two down and lock them up. The rest will be punished on the spot."
"Yes"
Vice General Li Hu ordered the two men to be escorted out of the tent.
Bai Qing had already expected that Mrs. Nujiao would lead someone to assassinate Chu Yu again, so he planned a plan with Tan Gong to lure the snake out of its hole.
Tan Gong sent Chu Yu to lead the army on an expedition, firstly to increase the number of troops and secondly to supply grain and grass. It just so happened that it also gave those ghost guards an opportunity to take advantage of.
After Tan Gong inspected their lair, he expected that with such a large number of people dispatched, it must not be a simple assassination mission, so he immediately sent Shao Jianzhi to pursue them in the rear at a high speed.
While Chu Yu was leading his troops, Bai Qing predicted that the enemy would be disadvantageous to the grain and grass forces, so he suggested dividing the troops into two groups. A small force, led by Bai Qing and his two lieutenants, would escort most of the grain and grass around the trails and over the mountains. And go.
Chu Yu then led most of his troops to escort the fake grain and grass along the road.
As expected, Mrs. Nvjiao caught up with them and first carried out the task of burning grain and grass. Chu Yu had no grain and grass in his hands, and also cut off the supply to the given city.
Chu Yu's army will be able to match the troops sent by Lu Gong in less than two days, and will definitely annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Chu Yu will undoubtedly die by then. Kill two birds with one stone.
Lu Gong planned carefully, but he met Bai Qing, a wizard who knew everything.
Now that Mrs. Nujiao's plan to burn grain and grass failed, and more than 400 people were killed, Mrs. Nujiao was locked in the prison car, her mouth was blocked, and she could not speak. She was in pain and she just hoped that the ghost mother (Yao Ji) would not give Shao If the young master conveys the wrong message, it will be the beginning of the collapse of the city and the collapse of the army.
Before dawn, Chu Yu led his troops to the pass. There were only more than a thousand troops stationed in the pass. The terrain here was dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Princess Lu's power has not been reached.
Chu Yu led his troops to the pass gate and immediately attacked them without any explanation, catching them off guard. The flames of war quickly ignited the newly built pass.
The battle lasted a whole day, and at dusk, the pass was breached by Chu Yudi's army.
Chu Yu entered the pass stepping on the corpses everywhere. This was one of the countless battles in his life.
A sense of desolation came to his mind. He looked deeply at the battlefield, with mixed feelings in his heart. Living in this troubled world where heroes are everywhere, who is right and who is wrong? He hoped that the Ming Lord would come soon and save thousands of people from the war.
"General Chu, we can reach Dingcheng in three days' march," Li Hu said following him.
"Since Lu Gong sent people to burn grain and grass, he will not be without backup. He immediately counted the troops and divided them into two groups. I will lead the troops to join Bai Qing and the others to continue escorting the grain and grass. You and Du Dongming will lead a thousand troops here. Reinforce the pass, build an offensive, and wait for news from the front!"
"Yes"
………………
The Ghost Lady (Yao Ji) took dozens of remaining people and lurked in the mountains and forests, waiting for Mrs. Nujiao to come to join her. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a day and no one was seen, she guessed that something happened to Mrs. Nujiao!
She said to the ghost guard beside her: "Send the carrier pigeon quickly to report to Lu Gong, and the food and grass will be quick."
"The rest of the people are following me to investigate Chu Yu's movements."
After sunset, they came to the pass and observed quietly. They saw that just after the battle, all Chu Yu's troops were here. Chu Yu was still patrolling the battlefield and had not left. It was also discovered that Madame Nvjiao and Zeng Jia were captured.
The group of people wanted to rush down and grab someone, but were suppressed by the ghost lady. The ghost girl was Yao Ji. She came up with a plan and asked her men to pretend to be bandits to chase her. She stumbled towards the pass with her luggage in her arms.
"Help, help." Yao Ji was wearing a navy blue silk dress and her hair was messy. She ran desperately to the checkpoint to ask for help from the gatekeepers.
"No one is allowed to break through the card," the soldier yelled.
With tears in her eyes, Yao Ji begged the guard at the gate for help: "Sir, please help me. Youshan lent me money, but the bandits are trying to kill me."
Seven or eight men dressed as bandits followed from behind the mountain. When they saw officers and soldiers here, they came up with their swords drawn: "Master, we just want to catch this bitch and take her back to make our brothers happy, hahahaha, If you release them, we will not offend the river."
The bandits laughed obscenely. When the soldiers saw such beautiful and weak women, they couldn't bear it and drew their swords to fight with them.
The fake mountain bandits pretended to be defeated after fighting for only a few rounds and fled.
Yao Ji was led into Chu Yu's camp by soldiers.
Chu Yu was very surprised. He looked at the beautiful Yao Ji and frowned slightly: "It's you."
Yao Ji quickly knelt down and whispered softly, "People's daughter Yao Ji pays homage to your lord. I am Yao Ji, the dancer from Yinghe Garden in Luocheng. Do you still remember me?"
After speaking, Yao Ji slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Yu charmingly.
Chu Yu nodded and said, "Why are you here?"
"Yao Ji is from Huayin. I wrote from home that her mother is seriously ill. She came home to visit her mother. Unexpectedly, she met bandits when she came here. They not only robbed money, but also..." Yao Ji fabricated her life experience to deceive Chu. Yu, with tears in his eyes, knelt and crawled towards Chu Yu. cried:
"Sir, you can't make the decision for me!"
Seeing her crying so hard, Chu Yu believed it and said, "Miss Yaoji, please don't be sad. Now that I'm here, you're safe for the time being."
"Sir, can you let Yao Ji go with you? It is really difficult and dangerous for a weak woman like me to walk this way alone," Yao Ji quickly begged.
The expression in Chu Yu's eyes became complicated, and then he said gently: "Miss Yao Ji, don't worry, you can follow us tomorrow. We will march through Huayin and escort you."
Seeing that Chu Yu agreed, Yao Ji happily thanked her verbally.
In the early morning of the next day, after resting for the night, the army was preparing to set off. Shao Jianzhi rushed to the pass with 300 elite cavalry. When he saw Yao Ji in the camp, he was inevitably shocked.
He went into the tent to talk quietly with Chu Yu, and left in a hurry about two moments later, rushing back to report the news to Tan Gong.
After Shao Jianzhi left, the army set off. Chu Yu asked Yao Ji to sit on the hay truck and follow the team. Not far behind were Madam Guanya Nujiao and Zeng Jiadi's prison car. Early in the morning, Yao Ji quietly approached and exchanged glances. , Mrs. Nujiao understood that Yao Ji was here to save her.
At noon, the army rested in the forest and had lunch. Each person had a piece of sesame cake and water. When they separated from Bai Qing, the army did not keep much dry food, and each person only kept four days' worth.
Yao Ji observed that the rations of the soldiers around her were really insufficient, and she was secretly happy, thinking that their plan was successful! Even if the general rushed back this morning to escort the army rations, it would be too late!
Yao Ji came to Chu Yu and asked coquettishly: "General Chu, why haven't we seen the handsome young master beside you?"
This is also her doubt. Isn't Bai Qing Chu Yu's personal guard? Why hasn't he seen anyone else?
"Oh, Miss Yao Ji, do you still remember him?" Chu Yu said with a slight smile.
Chu Yu hadn't seen Bai Qing for four days, and he was very worried about her. He didn't know if they would be safe all the way.
"Yes, that young master is very interesting," Yao Ji said softly.
"I'll see you there," Chu Yu said.
