Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

When several important ministers heard the news, they all consciously moved closer to the tent where they discussed the matter.The Xiong couple adjusted their clothes a little bit, and went there too.The big tent was brightly lit, and Zi Yang was standing in the center, talking to Ji Li.After saluting with everyone, he began to talk about his experience of being captured by mediocrity.

Zi Yang is a young man in his early twenties, with a strong body.He looked very tired at this point, but with only a few minor injuries, it wasn't too bad.He said: "Zi Yang is not talented, he was taken away by mediocre people, and he has embarrassed Da Chu."

Ji Li said: "Zi Yang, you don't need to blame yourself, first tell the king how the mediocre situation is."

Zi Yang paused, and said: "There are many mediocre troops outside the city, and barbarians of all ethnic groups gather outside the city. Zi Yang escaped when they relaxed their vigilance and drank and had fun all night. According to Zi Yang, although they have a large army, But the vigilance is not high right now. Now that the great king is on his way, why not join forces to launch an attack again, and we will surely defeat the mediocre."

Xiong Lu was thinking, he looked first at Lu Jia, then at Pan Yu, and then at Dou Ban, all with contemplative expressions.

Pan Yu stroked his chin and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to hold back the troops for the time being."

"Why?"

"Zi Yang said just now that there are many mediocre troops, and barbarians from various tribes gather outside the city. They should not be underestimated. They must be arrogant after winning consecutive battles. We might as well make them even more arrogant. If they come to disturb us, we will still Use Ji Li's soldiers to fight against the enemy, and retreat while fighting, making the enemy think that we are vulnerable. Taking advantage of this opportunity, our army can lead the mediocre army into a trap..."

"Trap? What's Pan Sima's plan?" Xiong Lu regained his energy. He felt that since Pan Yu said such a thing, he must have his reasons.

Pan Yu said: "My lord, this trap... depends on the situation of Dou Jiao Dou Da Sima. If the timing is right, we can even attack from multiple sides and destroy Yong in one fell swoop."

After saying this, Pan Yu turned his head and asked the spy: "How is the battle going on at Sima Dou?"

The spy replied: "The latest information shows that the war is still stalemate, but it is said that Shanrong is about to lose its hold and is already on the verge of defeat."

Pan Yu nodded and said: "Very good. We can wait a little longer and deliberately lose to mediocrity first, and wait for Dou Sima's army to escape from Shanrong, then we will make plans."

Xiong Lu asked Douban: "Does Ling Yin have something to say?"

Dou Ban took a serious look at Pan Yu, and said: "I think what Master Pan Yu said is very reasonable, you might as well give it a try. However, I don't know if the luck of our army will be as smooth as Master Pan Yu expected. After all, it is still unknown when Doujiao will be able to escape from Shanrong."

Luo Jia also nodded: "During the expedition, Guan Bu Yin's divination was auspicious. I hope that my Great Chu will go smoothly and defeat these thieves."

On the fourth day when they came to Ludi, the mediocre people drank and had enough to celebrate, so they came outside Lucheng again and clamored to attack the city.Xiong Lu and the others had already discussed the countermeasures, they stayed put and only used Ji Li's remnant soldiers to deal with mediocre people. They deliberately retreated while fighting, and retreated to the city after fighting for a while, creating the illusion of being powerless against the enemy.

The mediocre and barbarians laughed outside the city, mocking the incompetence of the Chu people.Sitting in the tent, the couple of bears could hear them making noise.He picked his ears, feeling that the noise was too loud, and he was a little annoyed.These mediocre people who kill thousands of knives are nothing more than fighting, but they are so noisy, it's really outrageous.Hurry up and kill them, it's really unbearable.

He lowered his head to read the book. He could already recognize the words on the bamboo slips, but he read them slowly and needed to read them back and forth several times.In the days to come, he would have to face such texts more, and he would read more, so that his reading speed would increase.According to his speed, he could only read one or two volumes in one morning, and he was suffering from headaches, so he was really weak.

It was almost noon when the guards brought him food before he put down the bamboo slips.Unexpectedly, as soon as he took two bites, a spy rushed over, knelt down and saluted: "Report to the king, there is news that Doujiao Da Sima is about to win, maybe he is dealing with the prisoners right now."

Xiong Lu was so overjoyed that he stopped eating and said, "Go and call Ling Yin, Gong Zheng, Zuo Sima, and Marshal. I have important matters to discuss with them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone gathered in the camp, all with happy faces.Pan Xie said: "If it is as expected, Doujiao will come to join us in a few days after receiving the news. Your Majesty, we can withdraw from Ludi and let Ji Li stay. It is beneficial to introduce mediocre people. The place where my Master Chu fought."

Dou Ban looked at the topographic map for a while, pointed to a place and said: "Look, everyone, how about the land of the goods? The terrain of this place is complicated, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If my Chu army arrives first, we can set up an army here and fight against mediocrity. capture."

Luo Jia looked at the terrain, thought for a while, and nodded slightly.Pan Yu stared at that place, clapped his hands and said: "This place is indeed an excellent place, Dou Lingyin really knows how to fight, Pan Yu admires it."

Seeing that the three ministers had unified their opinions, Xiong Lu said to the spy: "You go and inform Doujiao Da Sima to let him finish handling the Shanrong matter, and immediately rush to Linpin to join our army. By the way, let's go again Send a group of spies to wait for Ruo Ao and the others on the way to Qin, and once Ruo Ao succeeds in borrowing troops, let him meet at Linpin."

"Yes, my lord, the little one will go right away."

Xiong Lu's decisive decision made Pan Xie nod slightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, let's leave Ludi first, and leave this place with Marshal Ji Li and his subordinates."

Ji Li took the task with his hands in his hands, and said: "Your Majesty leave at ease, Ji Li will act according to the plan, and will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations, and lead mediocre people to Linpin."

At this time, Luo Jia interjected: "Sai Shuai, you must grasp the timing accurately, and fight with that mediocre person for a while." He thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Retreat while fighting, but don't retreat too quickly. I will wait for ten days, at most ten days, at least seven days. If Ao'er can really borrow troops from Qin, this time is almost enough. King, what do you think?"

Xiong Lu felt that it was feasible, and said: "Your Majesty Jia is right, seven to ten days should be enough time."

"Then I'll go to Linpin immediately."

The master Wang who came from Yingdu left the camp, and Xiong Lu got into the carriage and swayed forward.Because of the proper deployment, he felt less worried and more likely to win at this time.With such a thorough plan, victory should not be a problem.He looked towards the southern sky and thought of Guan Fuxiu who was dressed in red on the altar that day.I don't know what is he doing at this moment?He clasped his hands tightly and meditated in his heart, hoping that he would return safely.

It has been raining for the past few days, and because they haven't received any news from Luo Ao and Guan Fuxiu, Xiong Lu feels a little worried.Counting the days, they should arrive almost there.Pan Yu told him that according to the original plan, Ji Li retreated while fighting, deliberately defeated five or six rounds, maybe in two or three days, he will lead mediocre people to Linpin.

Night, the rain has not stopped.The bear lover looked at the scroll for a while, rubbed his eyes, and felt a little sleepy.The conditions of the temporary camp were not good, so he washed up a bit and planned to go to sleep.Just as he was about to blow out the oil lamp, a gust of wind blew through the tent, and a dark shadow appeared in the tent.Just as Xiong Lu was about to call someone, the black shadow said: "My lord, I am the shadow."

Xiong Lu took a closer look, and saw that Shadow was drenched and was holding someone in his arms.The man's eyes were closed tightly, and he was shot by an arrow in the back shoulder, it was Guan Fuxiu.The bear couple hurried forward: "What... what's going on!"

Shadow placed Guan Fuxiu beside the bed, and said: "My lord, it's a long story. On the way back with my master, I happened to encounter ambushes. In addition, it was cold recently. The master was ill two days ago. I didn't notice it for a while, and I was hit. One arrow, please ask the king to call the military doctor to treat him immediately."

Xiong Lu hurriedly called the guard who was guarding the tent, ordering him to call the military doctor to come immediately.The guard didn't know why, so he thought the king was injured, so he hurried to call for someone.The couple of bears turned around in a hurry, while the shadow was guarding the side, out of their minds.

"No...can't, shadow, hide quickly..." Guan Fuxiu woke up from the coma, saw that he was in the camp, and knew that the shadow brought him here.He looked at Xiong Lu and said, "King, it's best not to let anyone know that I'm here."

Xiong Lu didn't know if he had other intentions in watching Fuxiu, but he couldn't control that much.He said: "What time is it, life-saving is the most important thing, and there are no spies here, so what if you know you are here?"

Hearing footsteps approaching outside the tent, Guan Fuxiu looked at the shadow and said, "Listen to me, hide first, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

"The shadow has not been forgotten." After saying that, he hid in the corner of the tent and disappeared.

The shadow entered his tent directly without notification, so everyone must be wondering why Guan Fuxiu suddenly appeared in his tent at this moment, but he can't control it anymore.

The military doctor who came was a little old man in his fifties, and Xiong Lu only let him into the tent alone.When the military doctor saw a young man lying on the bed, he felt a little strange for a moment, but he didn't care about Wang's affairs, he only cared about his own duties.Xiong Lu led him to the couch and said, "Doctor, quickly see what's going on with him. He was shot in the back by an arrow. You should help him heal quickly."

The military doctor felt Fuxiu's pulse, looked at the injury, and said, "Don't worry too much, the wounded is not life-threatening. However, the wounded has a high fever, and the wound needs to be treated as soon as possible. The wounded should have been exposed to the rain for a long time. , now that the cold is entering his body, I need to change his clothes and fetch a pot of hot water for him."

Hearing what the military doctor said, Xiong Lu hurriedly asked the guards outside the camp to fetch water, while he found a clean suit and came out.The military doctor cut off the clothes with a knife, and woke up when watching the float.Xiong Lu held his hand, feeling cold to the bone.
