Chapter 72: Zhou Rong

"It's not that we're crazy!" Liu Jin was indignant: "It's been more than ten years, for the sake of this map, how can the world ever be peaceful? Doesn't Your Highness know that the State of Chu and the State of Shu sent heavy troops to besiege the Zhou Dynasty for this map? Or don't you know that it is also for this map, and they have turned over the Tang Kingdom? Rather than that map falling into their hands, the world is in chaos, it is better for us to use it!"

Shen Ming sighed: "Since it's just one picture! If someone draws it, it won't be just that one! Even if it's that one, it's been more than ten years, and it's so difficult for talented people from several countries that they can't paint another picture! Do you have to hang yourself on a tree?"

Shen Mingyan always felt that the so-called map related to the overall situation of the world was a very mysterious and rare thing, but since she knew that it was the distribution map of the hot oil, the mystery in her heart disappeared. Only a madman would use this picture as a weapon to win the world!

"Miss Li doesn't know!"

"My surname is Shen!" Shen Mingyan said coldly.

Shen Xianling's nurturing kindness, Shen Mingyan didn't know how to repay it, and felt that if he even changed his surname, he couldn't blame him.

"Miss Shen doesn't know!" Liu Jin continued: "That picture was painted by Xu Zixin, a ghost genius back then. Xu Zixin can pass through the gods and ghosts, so he knows where the oil is, which is rare in a hundred years. And he has a habit of only one thing for everything!"

"Are you saying that the person who gave my father the picture back then was Xu Zixin?"

"Yes!" Liu Jin nodded.

"Who spread the news about the overall situation of the world?"

"Your father's lieutenant Li Baoping. Liu Jin paused and said: "It is only in recent years that we have found out that Li Baoping is an undercover agent planted by the Shu Emperor in the Han army!"

"Li Baoping, what about the others?"

"It's dead!" Liu Jin said lightly: "Just when you went to the Tang Kingdom, you were killed by the divine sword Tang Bi!"

"Why is he in the Tang Kingdom?"

It seems that he was almost burned to death in the fire back then, and he happened to be saved by the princess of Shu Kingdom, who is now the concubine of Tang Kingdom. He has been used by Concubine Meng ever since!"

"Why are you also used by Meng Guifei?"

Liu Jin smiled faintly: "Expedient!"

"Oh...... "So, if you want to destroy the Han Dynasty, is it the Shu State behind the scenes?Or are there other countries, the Chu State, the Tang State?, the alliance today? What about the Great Zhou?"

"Miss Shen has anything else to ask. Liu Jin must know everything, and his words are endless!"

Shen Mingyan didn't ask.

Jimo Huaijin opened his mouth and said, "Who owns the military industry in the mountains in the northern part of the Tang Kingdom?"

"Nominally, the Five Princes. But in reality, ours, your Highness. ”

"Aunt Yun is really amazing!" said Jimo Huaijin with a smile.

Seeing Jimo Huaijin's face, Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Your Highness is better for us than to fall into the hands of wolf ambitions." If Your Highness is worried about the power of the oil oil, we can use it less, or even not at all! As long as we have a map of the distribution of the oil to deter the nations!"

Just as night fell, when Zhou Rong thought about it again and again and decided to go to find Shen Mingyan in person, he suddenly received a battle report from the front line.

"Your Highness! The Chu army suddenly attacked! Launched an attack at the southwest gate of Yanggu City at the same time! The scale of the attack was unprecedented!"

Zhou Rong quickly put on armor and led the crowd to climb the city tower of Yanggu.

Yanggu is located in the southwest of the Great Zhou, and the west and south are connected to the state of Chu.

To the southwest of Yanggu City is the territory of the Chu State. The two countries are bounded by the moat of Yanggu. Previously, the 50,000 Chu army was stationed in the field not far from the moat at the south gate of Yanggu.

At this time, the Chu army had already erected a pontoon bridge over the moat. In the darkness, a dark shadow was rushing towards Chaoyang Valley. The sergeant who was fast in the vanguard had already set up a ladder with the city wall of Yanggu, and the fast one had already climbed the ladder. In the darkness of the night, the soldiers of the State of Chu who were besieging the city moved extremely quickly.

Fortunately, the heroic general has been patrolling the castle tower.

I saw Chu Jun climbing the stairs.

The heroic general said loudly: "Release!"

The archer's gate, which was guarding the battlement, sent out the full crossbow.

The sharp scissors fell like rain, and there was a scream under Yanggu City.

However, the screams did not stop the Chu army's attack.

On the pontoon bridge at the city gate, the huge logs carried by chariots were approaching the closed gate of Yanggu step by step.

When Zhou Rong walked up the city tower, the Chu army was quickly climbing the ladder.

Under the starlight, the heroic general saw Zhou Rong coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness! The Chu army has suddenly attacked! The last general is fighting back!"

The general of the Chu State who led the army to attack the Great Zhou was Ma Qianyu, a famous general of the Chu State, and according to his tactics, it was basically a face-to-face battle of real guns and real knives. And tonight's bow and crossbow arrows facing Da Zhou with flesh and blood are very inconsistent with Ma Qianyu's battle style. In the month before that, Ma Qianyu took the Chu army outside Yanggu City every day, basking in the sun and taking a nap, without even shouting.

Zhou Rong looked at the black shadows that kept coming under the city, and kept falling down, and said, "There is a shout before the bow and crossbow are released!"

This is not war, it is a massacre.

Even if it was the soldiers of the Chu State who shot and killed, Zhou Rong still couldn't bear it.

"Go back to Your Highness!" The heroic general hurriedly replied: "Since I found out that the Chu army was moving, the last general has sent someone to shout! It's just that the Chu army doesn't seem to hear our reminder, and just quickly stepped forward. Seeing that the Chu army was about to climb the ladder, the last general ordered the archers to fire the bow and crossbow. The strange thing is that there is no main general in this attack, only soldiers charging forward! This kind of suicidal attack will never be seen before!"

Bai Liwei, who was following behind Zhou Rong, couldn't help laughing and said: "Not only is there something wrong with the emperor of Chu State's brain, but even the soldiers' brains have been eaten by dogs! Is it that they are sleepwalking while sleeping!"

Zhou Ziyi on the side continued: "It may be that they have no military rations!

"It's not that simple!" Guo Ruoxue said matter-of-factly: "In my opinion, there must be a conspiracy for them to attack the city so desperately!"

"Nonsense!" Li Tianbao pouted: "You have the ability to say what kind of conspiracy!"

Guo Ruo needed to stretch out his hand to draw the sword, but Zhou Ziyi held it down: "Don't worry, don't worry!"

Zhou Rong ignored the bickering of several people behind him and walked quickly to the lookout of the city tower.

In the distance, the military camp of the Chu State was still pitch black.

In the dark camp.

Ma Hanbo and the second prince of Shu were sitting in front of a chess game, playing chess with the faint cold light emitted by the night pearl.

Ma Hanbo gently put down a sunspot and said with a smile: "Second prince, do you think we can win Zhou Rong tonight?"

"I think it's okay!" The second prince of Shu smiled and ate one of Ma Hanbo's sunspots: "He never thought that the target of the allied forces of our two countries was him Zhou Rong himself." ”

Ma Hanbo laughed again: "Sure enough, it's still your Lao Tzu Shu Emperor's chess move!"

"Hahaha......" The second prince of Shu laughed: "As long as Zhou Rong falls, the mother and daughter are not captured! We should thank Zhou Rong! If it weren't for him, how would we find the mother and daughter so quickly!"

"That's right!" Ma Hanbo sneered: "He Zhou Rong thought that the little waiter of the Ministry of Rites would be able to trick us!
