So it seems that your brother is quite far-sighted? "

Before Feng Shu finished speaking, he wanted to continue. He finally found an opportunity to taunt Zhao Jia, but at this moment, Zhao Jia suddenly became angry, and rushed forward with one step, "Crack!", and grabbed Feng Shu's hand neck.

Feng Shu didn't like Zhao Jia's figure at all, so he lifted him up, "Boom!", and directly pinched his neck against the tree.

Feng Shu felt for a moment that he was going to be hit to death, and he would definitely be injured internally, and the leaves on the tree wished they would all float down.

Zhao Jia said with a cold face: "Don't think that you are the Xian Yin of Chu, I dare not kill you!"

Feng Shu's face turned pale from being pinched, coughing non-stop, and beating Zhao Jia's arm, Zhao Jia saw that he looked like he was about to suffocate, so he relaxed his arm a little, and didn't use too much force, after all, Zhao Jia still had to If he really kills Xian Yin in the state of Chu, then he doesn't have to.

Feng Shu was loosened by him, grabbed Zhao Jia's arm, coughed hard, and said, "I am the benefactor who recommended you! How dare you be disrespectful to me!?"

Zhao Jia just loosened his hand slightly, but did not let go of Feng Shu. Hearing this, he showed a slightly ferocious smile and raised his eyebrows. Feng Shu suddenly felt a chill down his back.

I heard Zhao Jia say: "Disrespectful? It's not the first time Jia has been disrespectful to Lord Xian Yin, and..."

As he spoke, he leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Lord Xian Yin, it seems that he likes Jia's disrespect to you."

As he spoke, Feng Shu opened his eyes wide in horror, and said, "You... what are you doing?"

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "Master Xian Yin came out from Xingyuan to do this kind of thing with Jia?"

Feng Shu quickly said: "Whoever wants to do this kind of thing with you, get the hell out of here! This is the woods."

Zhao Jia let go of Feng Shu's neck, but covered his mouth, and said, "Shhh - Jia naturally knows that this is a forest. If Mr. Xian Yin shouted too loudly and called the soldiers, Jia would be irresponsible."

Yanjiu's team soon made their triumphant return, and Wu Jiu set up a banquet to entertain the heroes. After dusk, the Xingyuan was brightly lit and looked very lively.

Wu Jiu raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Today our Chu army defeated the Pu people, captured many prisoners, and seized many weapons, all thanks to You Sima and the king of E. Raise your glasses with the widow to respect You Sima and the king of E." A cup for the king of the country!"

The king of E Kingdom smiled and said: "No, no, my king is serious. I didn't do anything. Everything is due to You Sima. You Sima uses soldiers like a god, which is really admirable!"

Everyone immediately raised their wine glasses and made a toast to Yanjiu and the monarch of E Kingdom. The monarch of E Kingdom was very humble, and the banquet began soon.

Although Qihou pretended to be a luthier before, but because no one dared to imagine Qihou playing the piano, neither the king of E nor his son Diao recognized that the luthier was Qihou.

It was the first time for Young Master Diao to observe Qi Hou at such a close distance, and he suddenly felt that Qi Housheng was handsome and tall, and there was an indescribable attraction, which immediately made Young Master Diao shake his mind.

However, the king of E State asked his son Diao to get close to Wu Jiu. After all, Qi Hou is now a past tense, and E State is a subsidiary state of Chu State, so naturally he wants his son Diao to please Wu Jiu.

Seeing his son Diao looking over frequently, Qi Hou thought he was peeking at Wu Jiu, after all Qi Hou and Wu Jiu were sitting together, Qi Hou's face was very ugly because of this, he was gloomy and depressed, and he was not very happy.

Sitting next to him, Wu Jiu noticed it very quickly, because Qi Hou didn't even eat much food today.

Wu Jiao said in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you eat?"

After Qihou heard this, he said bluntly: "Because it's not as delicious as the second brother's cooking."

Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou helplessly, and said, "Then eat some more, don't just drink, drinking on an empty stomach will hurt your health."

Wu Jiu cared so much about Qihou, the dark clouds on Qihou's head were blown away, and he said with a smile: "Second brother, I don't have much appetite, why don't you cook something delicious for Gu after the banquet?"

Wu Jiao thought that Qihou usually eats so much, and it's good to lose his appetite once in a while, so as not to eat too much accumulated food.

But Qihou said pitifully: "Second brother, hiss... the wound on my back hurts."

Wu Jiu knew that Qihou was starting to be pitiful, and the wound on his back had healed long ago, even the scars were gone, so it was impossible to hurt anymore, but Wu Jiao did feel distressed, because when the explosion happened, Qihou's first One reaction was to throw him on the ground and protect Wu Jiu with his own body. If the power of the black powder was stronger, Qihou might be seriously injured.

Seeing his pity, Wu Jiao couldn't help but said, "Okay, after the banquet, you can eat something first."

Qi Hou is a little expert who can make progress, and immediately said: "Second brother, you are lonely."

Wu Jiu almost picked up the plate and put it on Qihou's face, gritted his molars and said, "Hey, what are you eating, how old are you?"

Qihou said: "Anyway, he is younger than the second brother."

When Qihou said this, Wu Jiao felt that he was being poked in his heart. He was obviously younger, but his body was really like an older brother...

Qi Hou was soft and stubborn, but if Wu Jiao didn't feed him a mouthful, he wouldn't eat and kept fussing, like a child who couldn't grow up, Wu Jiao had no choice but to feed Qihou a mouthful when no one was paying attention.

Marquis Qi was delighted to eat it, son Diao happened to see such a scene, he knew that the relationship between Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi must be extraordinary, the two had been secretly doing tricks, and he had also heard some rumors about King Chu and Marquis Qi.

In this way, son Diao misunderstood Wu Jiao, after all, that day son Diao saw Wu Jiu kissing with the qin master, and now that Wu Jiao was having an affair with Marquis Qi, son Diao immediately knew that Wu Jiao was a flirtatious monarch.

The banquet was very lively, everyone pushed their glasses to the table, but Zhao Jia was tasteless, so he stood up and left his seat, ready to take a casual walk outside.

Zhao Jia went out, walked around outside, and soon heard footsteps approaching, he thought it was Feng Shu who was provoking again, but the sound of footsteps didn't sound right, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be the King of E.

Zhao Jia saluted and said, "Mr. E."

The monarch of E Kingdom smiled and said: "General Zhao! I have heard of your name, Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin is majestic and majestic. You are General Ever Victory. I admire you very much."

Zhao Jia heard that the Lord of E was getting close to him, so he was a little humble and didn't say anything, but the Lord of E pretended to sigh and said, "Oh, but it's a pity..."

Zhao Jia listened to his words, squinted his eyes, and still didn't speak. The king of E Kingdom was a little embarrassed, so he could only talk to himself: "It's a pity, although General Zhao is a talent, but no wise monarch has discovered you. Now Your uncut jade was thrown to Chu by the king of Qin, and although the king of Chu used you, he didn't let you shine to the fullest, what a pity..."

Zhao Jia seemed to have heard some clues, and he heard the king of E state say: "General Zhao, have you ever thought about...finding another master? This old man admires General Zhao very much. If General Zhao does not give up, come to our E Country, this old man absolutely respects General Zhao as a heavenly man, what do you think?"

Zhao Jia laughed, and didn't immediately refute, nor did he immediately agree, but said: "The king of E is so sincere, it really makes Jia feel ashamed."

Seeing that there is a way, the monarch of E State immediately said: "General Zhao is a rare talent. I in E State can't wait for it. General Zhao might as well think about it."

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank the King of E for his kindness. Jia will consider it for two days."

The king of E Kingdom was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, I welcome General Zhao at any time."

Zhao Jia cupped his hands to the E State Monarch, and the E State Monarch quickly returned to his tent. Not long after he had left, Zhao Jia said flatly, "How long will you have to eavesdrop?"

At this time, a person came out from behind the tent next to it, it turned out to be Feng Shu, Feng Shu's face was still a bit haggard, after all, the two of them did something indescribable in the woods at noon, Feng Shu was bullied quite badly.

Feng Shu sneered and said, "Let me catch you?"

Zhao Jia also laughed, and said, "The reason? What reason?"

Feng Shu said, "Naturally, it's an excuse for being unfaithful."

Zhao Jia said indifferently: "Then go and inform me, maybe the king will reward you a lot."

As Zhao Jia said, he turned around to leave, Feng Shu almost jumped, but his shameful place was uncomfortable, he didn't dare to jump, and said: "Zhao Jia, do you think I dare not? I will make you go all the way around! "

Zhao Jia turned his head and smiled, and said, "Wait and see?"

He said that's all, and walked directly into the tent, Feng Shu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The celebration banquet was still going on, the king of E went out and came back soon, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, just now our spies from E came and said they found out a secret camp of the Pu people, please let me know Wang Chengsheng pursues, and then gives the Pu people a head-on blow, so that the Pu people can see how powerful we are in Chu!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Where is it?"

They did win a big victory once, and it would be even better if they could have a second time.

The King of E quickly took out a piece of lambskin with a map drawn on it from his sleeve, and presented it to Wu Jiu, who put the lambskin on the case and unfolded it for a look.

This time the camp of the Pu people was on a high mountain. Logically speaking, they should find a place with flat terrain for camping, because the terrain is open and easy to defend, so they would not camp on a high mountain.

However, the place chosen by the Pu people is relatively hidden, and there is water on all sides. If pursuers arrive, the Pu people will rush down from the mountain, and they will form an momentum like splitting bamboo, which is indeed beneficial to the Pu people.

Everyone looked at the map and discussed it, but this time Yanjiu didn't speak, maybe he was drunk and fell asleep lying on the case.

Wu Jiu wanted him to share his opinion. After all, Yanjiu has lived here for 20 years and is very familiar with the terrain here. He should know Yunmeng and Dongting Lake best.

But after calling twice, Yanjiu didn't open her eyes, she was so drunk, the worker next to her was Qu Zhong, and quickly pushed Yanjiu. I'm afraid Yanjiu would be disrespectful, but Yanjiu was still sleeping, and she was shot. snore.

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "You Sima was tired all the way, it is true that he should rest first, the attack on the Pu people did not happen overnight, everyone is tired from the triumphant return today, so let's break up the banquet and go back to the tents to rest. "

Everyone got up to leave immediately, and left the camp one after another, and the king of E kingdom also left with his son Diao.

Everyone in the tent was about to leave. Seeing that Yanjiu was still sleeping, Qu Zhong was going to help him up and help Yanjiu out of the tent, but he didn't expect that Yanjiu would snap his hand as soon as he put his hands on Yanjiu's body. Got it.

Qu Zhong saw that Yanjiu's eyes opened "shua", their eyes were full of clarity, without the slightest hint of drunkenness, and suddenly raised his head.

Qu Zhong was startled, and quickly let go of his hand. The touch of the two made his heart beat faster, which felt very weird.

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou hadn't left yet, Wu Jiu looked at Yanjiu who suddenly sobered up with a smile on his face, and said, "You Sima claims to never drink a thousand cups, but he got drunk very quickly today."

Yanjiu laughed, cupped his hands and said, "My Wang Mingjian, Yanjiu has something to say to my king in private."

When Qu Zhong heard this, he turned and left.

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou sat on the chair, Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't know what You Sima wants to say?"

Yanjiu sat down at this time, stretched out his hand to touch the lambskin just now, and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for the Pu people to set up camp in this water area, even Yanjiu's previous team would not dare to move around in this water area. Alligators are said to be abundant in these waters."

"Crocodile?"

Wu Jiu was a little surprised, but Yanjiu nodded, and said: "It is indeed a crocodile. Ships approaching this water area will be attacked by crocodiles. This mountain is an isolated island. How can people of the Pu nationality cross the river? How about camping on a mountain surrounded by crocodiles?"

When Wu Jiu heard about crocodiles, he immediately thought of the country of E. The country of E is just like its name. In the early years, the country of E used crocodiles as its totem. The country of E is like the country of Luo. E country domesticates crocodiles.

Thinking about this, Wu Jiao suddenly had a flash in his mind, feeling a little strange.

Yanjiu also said: "Even if the Pu people avoid these crocodiles and camp on the mountain by any means, it is impossible for our army to mobilize a large number of troops to attack them. The impact, coupled with the water on all sides, will cut off the retreat route, and at that time it will be a situation of catching a turtle in a urn, so Yanjiu asks my king to think twice, this battle must not be fought, Yanjiu thinks... This is a trap."

Qi Hou heard this, and squinted his eyes. At this moment, Zhao Jia's voice sounded outside the tent, as if he was begging to see him.

Wu Jiu said loudly, "General Zhao, please come in."

Zhao Jia hurried in from the outside, saw You Sima Yanjiu in the tent, and said respectfully: "Jia pays homage to my king, Duke Qi, and You Sima."

Yan Jiu also hugged Zhao Jia as a return gift, Wu Jiu said: "General Zhao, what's the matter?"

Zhao Jia nodded and said, "Jia does have something important to report to my king."

Wu Jiu said, "Please tell me."

Zhao Jia said: "We were at the banquet just now, because Jia was drunk, he went out of the tent to get some air, but soon the Monarch of E Kingdom followed."

As Zhao Jia spoke, he paused, and Wu Jiao said with a smile, "Oh? What did the Lord of E State say to General Zhao about something important?"

Zhao Jia nodded and said: "Indeed, the Lord of E State said that Jia is an unpolished jade, but it is a pity that he did not meet the Lord Ming. Although he follows my king, my king will not let Jia shine."

When he said this, Wu Jiu couldn't help but look gloomy, didn't it make it clear that Wu Jiu could not be happy that the monarch of E State poached his corner.

Zhao Jia continued: "The King of E State asked Zhao Jia to consider whether to go to E State to be the Grand Sima."

When he said this, Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Then... what does General Zhao mean?"

Zhao Jia said flatly: "I thanked the King of E for his kindness, and said that he would consider it for two days, so he came here and reported it to my king."

Hearing this, Wu Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "It seems that General Zhao is very good at seeing the real situation."

Zhao Jia said, "Thank you, my king, for your praise."

Everyone did not expect that the monarch of the E country would come to poach the wall and sow dissension. From this point of view, the monarch of the E country is naturally even more suspicious.

They were talking, Feng Shu suddenly asked to see him outside, as soon as Feng Shu walked in, he saw Zhao Jia immediately, and his face changed.

Wu Jiu said, "What's the matter with Xian Yin?"

Feng Shu hesitated for a while, but Zhao Jia laughed and said, "Lord Xian Yin, you may have come to inform me."

Feng Shu was hit by Zhao Jia's words, and he came to inform. Feng Shu was afraid that Zhao Jia would turn against the E Kingdom because he could not be reused.

Unexpectedly, he saw Zhao Jia as soon as he came in. Zhao Jia didn't give him a chance to tell the truth. The monarch of E Kingdom does not know it yet.

Feng Shu really lost face, wanted to tell the truth but was found out by the person concerned, it was an embarrassment, and seeing Zhao Jia looking at him with ulterior motives, Feng Shu felt that he might be miserable, so he hurriedly handed over his hand and resigned.

Feng Shu went out and was about to go to the tent in a hurry, but he was stopped by someone. Who knew that Zhao Jia came so fast, blocked him outside the tent, and said with a smile, "Master Xianyin, are you all right? Why did you leave?" Are you in such a hurry because you are afraid that Jia will take revenge on you?"

Feng Shu's face froze, and he immediately said: "Why... how come? It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Zhao Jia followed him and prepared to enter the camp, and said with a smile: "Jia still has something to say to Lord Xian Yin."

Feng Shu hurriedly stopped him, not allowing him to enter his tent, and said: "If you have anything to say, why not say it here."

Zhao Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Here? Jia is afraid that Mr. Xianyin will lose face."

Zhao Jia looked threatening, and Feng Shu angrily shouted, "Zhao Jia! Don't bully me too much!"

Zhao Jia laughed and said, "Master Xian Yin wants Jia to be gentle?"

Feng Shu blushed and stared angrily, Zhao Jia spread his hands and said, "Lord Xian Yin, please go ahead, let's talk."

Feng Shu had no choice but to be in a dilemma, and in the end, out of face, he walked into the tent.

Yanjiu said that the place where the Pu people garrisoned troops might be a trap, and Zhao Jia came to inform, saying that the ruler of the E Kingdom was digging the wall, so Wu Jiu felt that the ruler of the E Kingdom might have a ghost.

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou went back to the camp. Wu Jiu wanted to study how to deal with it, but Qi Hou didn't have enough to eat, so he still remembered that Wu Jiu said he wanted to cook something delicious for himself.

It was still early, and the banquet ended relatively early, so Wu Jiu went into the dining room, made some relatively simple dishes, and brought them over, a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

Naturally, there was no hot pepper in this era, so Wu Jiao replaced it with Yue pepper. Anyway, Qi Hou was injured "unhealed", so it is not suitable to eat too spicy.

When Qi Hou looked at it, he thought it was the snail noodles made by Wu Jiu before, but when he tasted it, he didn't think so. The hot and sour noodles were sour and heavy. The smelly fragrance is easy to accept, and it is wider.

The rice noodles are bouncy and slippery, very smooth to the mouth, the soup is slightly spicy and slightly sour, there is a feeling of satisfaction, Qihou can't wait to hold the big bowl, eat rice noodles while drinking soup, and sweat all over his head after eating in autumn.

Wu Jiao saw that he was eating happily, so he sat and looked at the map by himself. Qi Hou was holding a big bowl of hot and sour rice noodles, sitting next to Wu Jiao, slurping rice noodles, adding background sound to Wu Jiao.

Wu Jiu was so annoyed that he looked helplessly at Qi Hou, who bit the rice noodles and said vaguely, "Erguo, what are you worrying about?"

Seeing that Marquis Qi is still cute, Wu Jiao ordered some lambskin and said, "I'm thinking, is this really a trap?"

Qihou said: "Maybe, for the first time, the king of E took us and captured so many prisoners and seized so many weapons. It is very likely that it is just a deception to confuse us."

Wu Jiu felt that it was very possible to let them enjoy a little bit of sweetness, and then wipe them all out.

Wu Jiu stroked his chin, looked at the map, and said, "If this is the case, how should the widow follow the plan?"

As he spoke, he fell into deep thought, but his meditation was always interrupted. Qi Hou was eating rice noodles next to him, "snorting... chug chug", eating soup while slurping rice noodles. glance.

I saw Qi Hou holding the Dahai Bowl, drinking soup, drank the last sip of the soup, and then put the Dahai Bowl on the case with a "bang", then sighed comfortably, then took out his handkerchief, carefully He wiped his lips gracefully, wiped his hands again, put the handkerchief aside, and then changed into a serious face freely, pointed at the mountain on the map with his slender and powerful index finger, and said: "We can Fire Attack."

Hearing what Qihou said, Wu Jiu also agreed that any place with mountains is suitable for fire attack. After all, there are trees on the mountain, which are easy to catch fire, but the problem is that there is water in all directions. If it is a trap, those people must be prepared. Will draw water and put out fires.

Wu Jiu rubbed his chin and thought for a while, Qi Hou was not in a hurry, he sat on the side, suddenly his eyes lit up, Wu Jiu thought he had come up with some good idea, it turned out that Qi Hou found that there was a small petal left in the bowl of the sea. The beans were sticking to the wall of the bowl. I didn't see them just now, so I picked up the chopsticks again, picked up the little beans accurately, and put them into my mouth again.

Wu Jiu almost couldn't catch his breath, and felt that Qi Hou almost licked the bowl after eating...

Wu Jiu and the Marquis of Qi spent the night together, and early the next morning, they notified the monarch of E that they were going to send troops to attack the Pu people. Just like their first time, Yanjiu led the team, but this time Wu Jiu also will go.

The king of E was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said: "I am Wang Yingming! I am Wang Yingming! In this way, the people of Pu will be able to see the strength of our Chu State!"

He said, and then showed a hesitant expression, and said: "This...just a little bit, the old man is old, drank too much wine last night, he has a bit of a cold, cough, cough...maybe...cough, Unable to set off with the army, although the old man wants to do his best, he just doesn't want to slow down the marching speed, so..."

The King of E State said so, and pretended to have a serious cough. The son Diao next to him hurriedly supported the King of E State and said, "Your Father's cough is getting worse."

When Wu Jiu saw the reaction of the King of E, he was even more sure that it was a trap. Otherwise, why did the King of E rush forward the first time, but retreated behind the second time, deliberately excused his illness and did not go with the army?

Wu Jiu smiled, but did not expose him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang has caught a cold, did you ask the medical officer to see him? Since Uncle Wang is sick, how can I let Uncle Wang join the army? Go and rest quickly. , It is only serious to take care of your body!"

The monarch of E State quickly said: "Thank you, my king, for your understanding!"

Wu Jiu said: "Since this is the case, the widow will lead the troops to set off in a few days, and the king and son of Lao'e Kingdom will guard the Xingyuan here. Just wait for the widow to return in triumph!"

The monarch of E State hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

Wu Jiu appeased the king of E, summoned all the generals, and ordered to prepare food, grass and supplies, and set off in a few days.

The army quickly set off, and a group of people stayed behind to protect the king of E and his son Diao, and all the others set off with the army.

After they had walked for half a day, Wu Jiu suddenly called Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia hurried forward, Wu Jiu whispered something to Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your humble general takes command!"

Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Go."

Zhao Jia immediately counted a group of people and horses, then got on his horse, pushed the reins, and led the group of people and horses to rush towards the road.

Wu Jiu's team soon reached their destination and set up camp not far from the Pu people.

Now that he had arrived, Wu Jiu recruited all the generals to the shogunate to discuss the matter of attacking the Pu people.

Everyone entered the shogunate, sat down, Wu Jiu was already sitting, and said: "All the generals are my confidants, today I summoned the generals to discuss the matter of attacking the Pu people."

He said, looked at Yanjiu, and asked Yanjiu to explain the surrounding terrain. There are still many people who don't know that the king of E is a meticulous worker, because the king of E led them to a victory and seized countless weapons. and captives, so many people thought that the king of E was a good man, but they were surprised by Yanjiu's analysis.

Everyone said: "The waters around here are full of crocodiles, so what should we do? Our soldiers and horses can't cross the water at all, so how can we attack the Pu people? Isn't it a joke for the Pu people?"

Wu Jiu nodded, and said, "Our large troops must not cross the water to attack, but the garrison on a high mountain has a disadvantage, and we can take advantage of this disadvantage."

When he said this, a word popped into the minds of all the people present—Fire attack!

This point, I went with Qi Hou's thought. Qi Hou also suggested Wu Jiu to use fire attack before. After all, there are trees on the mountain, which are easy to catch fire, and now it is autumn, and the sky is dry, which is suitable for fire attack.

Feng Shu said: "Feng Shu looked at the sky, there will be strong winds these two days, it is indeed suitable for fire attack, but there is one problem, the mountain is surrounded by rivers, the Pu people must have expected that our army may use fire attack, they have enough water , how can we use the fire attack? I am afraid that the Pu people will not be in any danger."

Feng Shu's worry was justified. As soon as he said it, everyone nodded their heads and looked at Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu looked at ease and was not in a hurry. Please work hard."

Qu Zhong was called by name, he quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Please order from my king."

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's not a difficult matter, I just want you to cover You Sima."

Qu Zhong was a little unclear, but when he heard the word "You Sima", his heart would shrink subconsciously, and he secretly glanced at Yanjiu, who knew that Yanjiu was also looking at him, their eyes met, and Qu Zhong quickly moved away look.

Qu Zhong said: "Please also ask my king to show you."

Wu Jiu smiled and reached out to tap the map on the case, saying: "The mountains are surrounded by rivers, and the Pu people have plenty of water, and there are many crocodiles in the river. Our army has no way to cross the river in large numbers. If we want to take Fire attack, but also need to guard against the river, so I need to build a few boats, and a few straw people."

"The straw man?"

Qu Zhong knew as a ship maker, after all, he had been studying the warships of the boat master before, but this was the first time Qu Zhong had heard of the word straw man, so he didn't know what Wu Jiu was referring to.

Wu Jiu just smiled mysteriously, Feng Shu confirmed the time for the wind to rise, and everyone immediately split up to act.

The boats Wu Jiu needed were very simple, and Qu Zhong had rushed to make them that day. They were just a batch of simple boats with some simple modifications. Prepare to attract people's attention, and then ordered Yanjiu to take ten people, under the cover of Qu Zhong, to sneak across, touch the Puren camp, and prepare to set fire.

In fact, the people of the Pu people had been prepared for a long time. Wu Jiu was right. The ruler of the E kingdom was meticulous. The first encirclement and suppression campaign was actually just a bait. The people of the tribe, the Pu people, have made sufficient preparations for a success.

They deliberately chose such a terrain, and prepared to lure Wu Jiu and the Chu army here, and suppress the Chu army like a split bamboo, and there are crocodiles in the water all around, the people of E country can tame crocodiles, Pu With their help, the crocodile would naturally not bite the Pu people, but if Wu Jiu's team crossed the river with great fanfare, the crocodile would definitely bite people madly if it was frightened.

At that time, with the advantage of land and the help of crocodiles, the Chu army will be scattered. In this way, the Pu people will definitely defeat the Chu army, and maybe even capture the Chu king.

After the king of Chu was captured, the Pu people had already discussed with the king of E, and they would elect the king of E as the new king of Chu. After all, the king of E was Wu Jiu's uncle, so he was of royal blood, and Wu Jiu's adopted son Although Xiao Ziwen is a prince, he is still young, so the king of E Kingdom feels that he has a great chance to be in power.

The king of E and the Pu people have a mutually beneficial relationship. The Pu people have heard that Wu Jiu and the Chu army have arrived, so they began to wait for the rabbit and strengthen the defense.

The Pu man was on the mountain, looked down from the top, looked at the small mountains, and suddenly saw some boats on the river, and there were people on the boats. The Pu people immediately put on guard, and the whole army was on standby, ready to attack, and killed every piece of the Chu army. A does not stay.

It's just that when the Pu people were on standby, they didn't see clearly that there were indeed boats on the lake, but those boats were not filled with Chu soldiers, but straw people.

Wu Jiao asked Qu Zhong to make boats and straw men that came in handy at this time. Those boats were not only used to distract Pu soldiers and cover Yanjiu. An opening that is not too big or small will not make the boat sink as soon as it hits the water, and the boat is still filled with oil.

The boat carrying the oil and the grass man was blown by the strong wind all the way to the hills in the lake. The oil leaked more and more, and the boat was driven forward by the wind, so a layer of oil gradually spread on the water surface. Several ships lined up side by side, spilling oil together.

The Pu people didn't notice that there was oil in the boat. After all, there were no binoculars at that time, so they couldn't see clearly. They could only see "people" on the boat.

But those "people" hadn't landed yet, some of them were bitten by the crocodile that suddenly jumped out of the boat, and some of them sank by themselves.

The Pu people didn't know that the boat itself was leaking, but it was actually a convenient way to leak oil. They thought it was bitten by a crocodile, and they believed it all the more.

The people of the Pu people killed so loudly that they rushed down from the mountain, intending to kill every single one of the Chu army, but at this moment, there was a sound of "Hoo----!", for some reason, the woods suddenly burst into flames, and the fire burst into flames. soaring.

Because of the wind and the dry weather, the fiery snake spewed out, shot into the sky at once, and spread rapidly.

The soldiers shouted: "Fire!"

"Fire out! Fire out!"

"Go fetch water!"

They had already prepared water to prevent Chu State from attacking with fire, but because the fire was too strong, the general ordered people to fetch water from the lake.The soldiers fetched water in a hurry, and didn't pay attention to whether there was oil in the water. With a sound of "哗啦!!!", the flames immediately let out a roar of "Huh!

The soldiers didn't know that there was oil in the water, so they tried their best to fight the fire, but the fire became bigger and bigger and became uncontrollable.

"Run!"

"Run for your life! It's on fire!!"

"Go down the mountain! Go down the mountain!"

Soldiers of the Pu nationality yelled and rushed down from the mountain, running all the way, being chased by the fire. Everyone came down from the mountain and jumped into the water one by one like crazy. The culprit was the oil on the surface of the water. The soldiers rushed into the water, but the flames followed into the water. In an instant, the surface of the water caught fire, and with a "hoo", it rushed out far away, burning half of the lake.

The Pu soldiers were even more panicked. They were originally from the south, and most of them knew how to swim, so they hurriedly swam towards the opposite bank.

At this time, the fire on the water stimulated the crocodiles in the water. Although the crocodiles had been trained, the crocodiles would be frightened by the fire, and immediately jumped out and bit the fleeing Pu people.

"Ahhh! Crocodile!"

"Run! Crocodile!"

"It's on fire—it's on fire—"

All of a sudden there were voices one after another, one side was on fire, and the other side had crocodiles. before fleeing.

However, at this time, I heard the sound of "tapping, treading" horseshoes, and a white horse rushed ahead. The man on the horse was tall, dressed in black armor, looked majestic and vigorous, wearing a black helmet, and stretched out his hand to press on the saber at his waist. , "嗤——!!" drew the sword out of its sheath with a sound, "唰!" With a sound, he pulled a sword flower, and the tip of the sword trembled with a cold light, just hitting the neck of a Pu soldier who was running in the front .

When the soldier looked up, he was shocked, because this person was known to all the Pu people. Once this person came, he defeated the Pu people and made them suffer a lot. Therefore, how could the Pu people not recognize him? It's Qihou!

Qihou sat on the black ink, drew his long sword, raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Where are you going?"

Following Marquis Qi, another group of Chu soldiers rushed out quickly, and lay in ambush along the river bank, waiting for the scattered Pu soldiers to rush over.

Qi Hou chuckled and said, "Catch them all! Take them back to Xingyuan."

"Yes!"

The Pu people didn't see the Chu army at all, they were already defeated, and all those who escaped were caught, including a general of the Pu family. Yanjiu, the fleeing general, tied him up and threw him directly into the shaft, making a "bang!" sound.

Wu Jiu was standing at the gate of Xingyuan, waiting for the triumphant return of the Chu army and the return of Yanjiu and Qihou. The general fell to the ground with a "boom!" , but couldn't get up anyway. At this time, I saw a large number of captives, one by one, like a defeated quail, being escorted back by Qihou's people.

The general of the Pu clan shouted angrily, and kept cursing Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, it's a pity that the Pu general had a language barrier with him, Wu Jiu couldn't understand a sentence.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you're not too embarrassing, after all, someone is with you."

As soon as Wu Jiu's words fell, he heard the sound of "treading" horseshoes, and a group of black armored warriors rushed in from the outside of Xingyuan. It was Zhao Jia, the son of Qin who Wu Jiu had sent away on business before, who had returned.
