Chapter 136: The Book of Food (Thanks to Jingwen for the monthly pass)
King Chumu, August 28.
There is still a shortage of soldiers outside, every day there are chasing soldiers everywhere to search for Cheng and Pan and the Tainu's troops are all over the place, and there are soldiers burning and looting everywhere, the walls are clear, and there are soldiers who are constantly killed, but a letter secretly borrowed if Ao Ziyong, Chen Huang and others robbed the grain, sandwiched in the grain and grass of the parchment, to the book and Pan Chong, the book said: "As a child of the Ruo Ao family, if the three hundred years of Ao family's immortal glory is now ruined, Yin and the king are both in distress, and the hope of the great Chu Zhongxing has come to naught, and the heart is full of fear.
What is wolf ambition?
The more pepper also.
The fathers and brothers in the clan all want to contact the Taishi to defend the wolves in the country.
Yue Jiao is cruel by nature, ruthless means, countless loyal ministers and wise men in Beijing are harmed by his hands, and now he sent me to hunt down Taishi and Zuo Yin, etc., wanting to harm Taishi, Zike can't bear it, deliberately entrenched in the Jianghan Plain, pretending to be Taishi, Zuo Yin, Pan's, Cheng's children are brave and good at fighting, and they can't do it, I only hope that for my Chu State for three hundred years, I can secretly protect Taishi and Zuo Yin, as well as the excellent Pan and Cheng's excellent children.
However, if you don't try to rebel against the pepper early, it will be too late!"
Soon his second parchment was followed by a letter sandwiched between grain and grass, and the letter said: "There is a plan to resist the pepper, and now there is a plan that can not arouse suspicion, but hate that no one joins forces." If Taishi is willing to co-act with Ke in a play, he will be able to resist a strong enemy together, just wait for the triumphant return of Ziyan's second brother and recapture Yingdu, hoping that Taishi will agree. ”
"Daxin, Chen Huang, what do you think of Ruo Ao Zike secretly joining forces with us?"
In the small tent, everyone sat or stood, huddled in front of the only wooden table, Pan Chong watched everyone holding a few sheep rolls on the table under the oil lamp and looking at it, looking wary, and asked with a smile.
"I'll take a look, I'll take a look!"
Ruo Aoziyong, who was lying on the side, sat up from the brocade cushion when he heard this, squeezed forward and picked up a letter on the table to read, but there were too many words, and some I didn't know, "Uh...... How do you pronounce these words, Azhu?"
Ah Zhu bumped into him when he heard this, and said strangely, "When did you enter the school, and you didn't even recognize these words?"
Ruo Ao Ziyong was hit by A Zhu, his eyes widened slightly, and Ruo Ao Tan had already grabbed the white, "He, he still refuses to go to school at twenty!
"Twenty?!"
"The children of the royal family entered school at the age of five, the children of Xungui entered school at the age of ten, and the ordinary children also entered the primary school at the age of fifteen, how could he enter school at twenty?"
Ah Zhu was surprised, she had also recognized the words that she should have recognized over the years with Cheng Lao.
Ruo Ao Tan twisted one of Ruo Ao Ziyong's arms and scolded, "It's not because I don't want to study, I will only hang out with those fox friends and dog friends all day long, otherwise I wouldn't have received such a remote errand?"
"Clan elder, can you save some face!"
"Didn't you always care about this the most?" Ruo Ao Tan raised his eyebrows.
"Do you care now?"
Ruo Ziyong pulled Ah Zhu's sleeve with a bitter face and promised, "Ah Zhu, you believe me, I will study hard and work hard in the future." ”
"What did you promise me to do?"
Azhu blushed, glared at him coquettishly, and stomped around to excuse himself from the tent.
Everyone looked at Ruo Aoziyong's eyes lit up, and they laughed around the table.
Ruo Ao Ziyong smiled hehehe.
"Alright, alright...... You have to flirt and wait until you get out before you continue, and we will continue to say Ruo Ao Zike......"
Chen Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, his essence flashed, and he smiled and beckoned to pull the topic back.
Cheng Daxin carefully read all the parchment books sandwiched in the grain one by one and put it down and said, "If Ao Zike said that what he is doing now is because if Ao Yuejiao killed the king and Ling Yin, and also imprisoned Ruo Ao Zixing and the Zhao family, and the country has all fallen into the hands of Yue Jiao, and even the courtiers are controlled by him, and he has to temporarily submit to him."
It was really his last resort to chase down the Taishi and us, and even made the illusion that the two sides won and lost each other, just to win his trust, waiting for the opportunity to move, and at the same time taking this opportunity to secretly protect us, waiting for the time to restore the country.
If we could, he wanted us to play with him and continue to confuse the nails that Yue Jiao placed beside him.
And this time the secret letter was sent in secret, just to bring down Yue Jiao.
His plan is for us to join forces to perform a play, he pursues us, but in fact, he secretly covers us to enter the Phoenix Mountain camp and obtain the military power of the remaining two Ruo Ao divisions, so that together there are 100,000 troops, and we can fight with Yue Jiao!"
Pan Chong smiled when he heard this, "Then if Ao Zike's plan, do you think it is feasible?"
"He will be so kind to cooperate with us inside and outside to deal with Yue Jiao?!"
Although Ao Ziyong can't read and write, he recognizes a reason.
Ruo Ao Yuejiao and Ruo Ao Zike have been in trouble since childhood, and his cousin has never been courted by this pair of cousins since he was so old, and he couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that there is fraud in it!"
"It's better not to be gullible. ”
……
Everyone nodded.
There was a cacophony of chatter in the tent.
"It is very likely that I have served in the Criminal Prison Division for several months with Ruo Ao Si, and I also feel that what he says is often seven points true and three points false, and I can't believe it!"
After the case of the displaced people, Chen Huang was very jealous of Ruo Ao Zike, and he was very suspicious around the table and said, "His true intentions are difficult to guess. ”
"Maybe it's true!"
Xianyin looked at them and said, "After all, my Great Chu is in danger of dying, and his plan is indeed feasible, with his secret strategy, we can enter Phoenix Mountain safely." ”
"Fearless, there is no free feast in this world, and when he helps us, he is actually helping himself.
He will not tell us what his purpose is through us, and we need to think about it ourselves.
If we are credulous, we will only become his pawns, and when his goal is achieved, we will be left with the fate of outcasts.
So this plan, we should think about what is the purpose of his doing this at this time, and what can he gain from it?" Pan Chong looked at his grandson and said slowly.
Speaking of which, Xian Yin frowned slightly, "Then what is the purpose of Ruo Zike?"
"Sun Er couldn't imagine that if Ao Zixing and Zhao's lives were in the hands of Yue Jiao, he naturally wanted to save his parents, which was the responsibility of the son of man. If the Ao clan is now torn apart, he naturally wants to revive the family, if not for the sake of the country, but also for the sake of them and the Ao clan themselves. ”
"It's human nature!"
……
Pan Chong nodded, and the words changed, "It's just that the world is chaotic now, you have been born in Yingdu since you were a child, and this time we have been in trouble several times, betrayed, informed, and even raised our swords against countless people."
Since the Jin State became hegemonic, the monarchs and ministers of various countries today are not as faithful and deceitful as in the past, and now in order to win the hegemony of a country, deception is frequent.
Cheng Lao credulously believed in the words of Jin Wengong's "retreat", and the army was defeated in Chengpu, the Jin State rose, and my Chu State stopped at Jin, so if what he said in his letter is true, it is naturally excellent, and we can get a great help.
But if it's fake, we're in danger.
Apparently he had seen through our difficult situation at this time, and was anxious to find a reinforcement, so he set up a trap and threw a tempting bait into it, but what he really wanted was probably not an alliance with us!"
"Maybe he wants to trick us out, annihilate us in one fell swoop, and then ask Yue Jiao for credit. ”
Cheng Daxin said slowly, "This is a possibility. ”
As for what Ao Zike said, he wouldn't easily believe that their major clans had been fighting for power for decades, and there would really be a simple alliance?
People's hearts, all they do is the word "power, profit".
Although he is not good at it, but he is the norm here.
"Maybe he still wants to use our hands to trick the door of the Phoenix Mountain camp. Cheng Daxin said.
And what he really wants is the military power of Ruo Ao's second and fourth divisions, if the third department is in hand, the existing passive master-slave relationship between him and Ruoao Yuejiao can be broken. ”
Although Cheng Daxin has not experienced the battlefield, the killings on the battlefield originally started from the temple, in order to maximize the benefits of various successes and failures.
"It's even more likely, it's a two-pronged game, and he's not only set a trap for us, but also threw a bait at Yue Jiao.
Because the second brother said that Ruo Ao Zike is also a very smart child of the Ruo Ao family, he doesn't like to be a competing fish and mussel, he likes to be a fisherman.
The fisherman throws the bait.
Fish and mussels compete with each other and make more profits.
When both of us fight each other for his alliance, he waits for the price and sells, and sits on the ground to start the price. ”
"And if Ao Si has always been watching from the wall and taking the opportunity to make a profit, this time Yue Jiao suddenly attacked, he must have been caught off guard, so he wants to find an opportunity for us both to lose, at least to get back Yue Jiao Yicheng, just like his style of acting. Chen Huang frowned.
Pan Chong watched them analyze the hidden intentions behind Ruo Ao Zike little by little, and smiled slightly.
Xianyin was stunned.
Unexpectedly, they were not optimistic about this matter.
"But is it because there is fraud in this, why don't we try to counteract Ao Zike?"
Pan Chong sighed lightly, "Yes, there is more to discuss...... Whether it's true or not, we will eventually be invited. ”
So the question of who is going to go.
If everyone goes, if it's really a trap, it's over, and naturally everyone is against it.
"Taishi, why don't I go and negotiate with Ruo Ao Zike, and at the same time try the truth and falsehood. ”
In the end, Cheng Daxin took the initiative to say, "Only if I go to represent the Cheng family, the Pan family, he will believe it." ”
"No, I'm going with you. ”
After the words fell, Pan Chong ordered Anu to put away these parchment books and end the meeting, "It's so decided, first send someone to leave the book in the grain, send it to the village where Ruo Aozike will pass by, pass the book to him, and agree on the time and place." ”
Xian Yin wanted to say that the trip was too dangerous.
My grandfather was very old.
But Pan Chong pulled up the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said unhurriedly, "Wei'er, don't worry, grandpa is not old enough to walk, and if he goes with his whole body, he will return with his whole body." ”
The words fell and strode out of the big tent.
The old slave also walked by his side, arched his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, Son, Taishi and Zuo Yin are not alone, and Anu is here!"
"It won't hurt the master!"
At this moment, the inside and outside of the camp were brightly lit, most of the tribes curled their arms in the north wind, and slept on the ground, and the distant sound of armor hunting and the sound of tigers and leopards came through the layers of green mountains and forests.
Someone sneaked up in the middle of the night and burst into the camp.
Xianyin stood quietly in front of the tent, watching his grandfather, who was holding Anu's hand in the night breeze, and the uncle who was going with him.
Although the night was bleak, my grandfather's old back was not bent because of his old age and displacement, he stood as tall as ever, clenched his fists, and thought that maybe he or anyone in the Pan family would not be able to catch up with his grandfather's pace in this life.
Just like Ling Yinzi, there is no one to replace Ruo Ao's clan and even the entire Chu State.
……
Pan Chong and the others stepped into the tent, Anu took off his cloak for him and helped him to bed, "Taishi, rest early!"
"Hmm. ”
Pan Chong lay down, looked at the old slave and said slowly, "Anu, this time I want you to go to danger with me." ”
"Back then, Anu followed the Taishi to pacify the major subject countries and barbarian tribes, and they were not afraid, hehe...... Why are you afraid of being young?"
"Oh, well, let's go!"
Pan Chong patted Anu's hand and smiled.
"No!"
The old slave chuckled and stayed at the side of the master, sitting with his hands folded, and the two bronze double hammers were placed on the desk by him, exuding a cold chill in the cold moonlight.
