Chapter 394: Battle? War!
Chapter 394: Battle? War!
Zhou Ziqiu knew how dangerous his trip was, dark night, cold wind, and enemy attack...... One carelessness may wipe out the entire army. These servants had been with him for a long time, and he regarded them as brothers, and he would rather hurt himself than lose the slightest mistake of his own brother. Those few who were attacked by cold arrows when they first met the opponent made Zhou Ziqiu secretly hate himself for not teaching strictly on weekdays, so that they were so careless.
Look at the guards of the Qi clan.
From beginning to end, it was always quiet as if it did not exist, even if the arrow fell to the ground, it was also silent, as if those injuries and pains did not play a role in them. But how is that possible?
The blood, the arrows, the vanishing life...... Zhou Ziqiu was shocked.
At that moment, he finally understood why Qi Lu was Qi Lu, he was a fierce tiger, not only was he brave and fearless, but he was also the escort he brought out, and they were all not afraid of death. Only such a person can really bring hope to Yecheng and make what he wants come true. In order to let the people of Yecheng live a good life, in order to make Yecheng no longer ridiculed by the world, and no longer afraid of wind, sand, drought and flood.
Therefore, Qi Lu can't die.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziqiu continued in a pause. "After so many years, working desperately, our parents, wives and children can only barely fill their stomachs, and only during the Chinese New Year can they eat a meal of meat. Why? Because we are worse than others?
No......
We are no worse than anyone else, all we lack is a good leader, a good city lord.
Now God has mercy, and it has sent us a capable one. That's one of the best nobles in the capital.
He was able to come to Yecheng because I was the ancestor of all the people in Yecheng who had burned high incense for several lifetimes. What is Yecheng? What kind of place is the capital?
The capital, which is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is the richest place in the Great Wei.
Second Master Qi lived a good life in the capital.
The emperor is pampered, and no one in the entire capital can compare with Second Master Qi. But in the end, he chose to come to our Yecheng to settle down. Why? Is it just because this is his fiefdom...... No, it's because Second Master Qi is kind-hearted, he knows what kind of life we live, he came to take us out of the sea of suffering, he came to help us, so that we can have clothes to wear. There is meat to eat. Brothers. Even if you die, you have to die well, and you have to die on the road of fighting.
This is our home, and Second Master Qi is our master.
Protect your family. Protector. It's our duty. Whoever dares to offend my Yecheng. will let him have no return......" Although Zhou Ziqiu's general voice is not loud, what can be said is passionate and generous. The officers around him went from silence to majesty, and finally showed a decisive look on their faces.
Because of Zhou Ziqiu's words. It just spoke to their hearts.
Yes, no one is worse than the other.
Why do people have big fish and meat, silk and satin, but they can only struggle on the line of life and death.
Father, mother, wife and children, only coarse grains barely satisfied. In the harsh winter, they can only survive on some porridge.
It's the same to live, why are they living so hard.
The master from the capital only felt that gold was precious on weekdays, but after listening to Zhou Ziqiu's words at this time, the servants realized that unconsciously, they ushered in hope and the hope of a good life.
"Whoever dares to offend my Yecheng will be allowed to come and ......go," the servants shouted in a low voice, and then followed Zhou Ziqiu again, taking a step into the darkness, no matter whether the person who came was a strong enemy or a bandit, he dared to bully Yecheng, deceived their new master, and he would let him have no return.
At this time, Qi Lu was only a mile away from Zhou Ziqiu.
He and the other party are in a stalemate, in a confrontation.
Although he didn't see the leader of the other party, who the other party was, Qi Lu had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart. The opponent moves quickly, and is good both offensively and defensively. It's not like a straggler. If it is said that it is a pro-soldier of the imperial court, it doesn't seem like it.
Because the weapons used by the opponent are not sharp enough, and the arrows are seriously worn.
In close combat, the other party does not have the momentum of being a killing weapon. On the contrary, it is more like being dormant in the mountains for a long time, and suddenly being brought out, quite a little less angry. Soldiers, angry.
The so-called morale basically refers to the brazen and fearless momentum. It's just that the enemy who shot at himself doesn't have this momentum.
If it is the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, although Qi Lu thinks that no matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not be so desperate, after all, there is the so-called father-son relationship. Although the emperor attacked him several times, in the end, none of them really took his life.
Qi Lu even thought that if he was more obedient, the emperor would actually really love him.
I really spoiled him as a son.
Therefore, Qi Lu affirmed that the other party was not condemned by the emperor. As for the princes...... Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Xiang, the soldiers under his command will not be so down. Even the arrows that kill people are not good, so how can they kill.
What's more, Qi Lu didn't think those two had the strength to pay attention to him at the moment.
Fighting for the position is their first priority, why use their strength on him, it's not worth it.
When God ascends to the throne and then punish him, that is the best choice......
Emperor, crown prince, king of Xiang. I thought about every enemy I could think of, and in the end, the seemingly impossible became the only answer.
He thought that the only strong enemy he had made was in the north, Beichen Pass. The name of the person represented is the middle-aged military general named Zhuge Hong. This suspicion was quickly confirmed by Qi Lu, from the tricks, weapons, and clothing of those people.
The people he brought were quietly hidden in the north, and Chu Ye had been looking for a long time without news, so there was only one possibility. Zhuge Hong is no longer in the north.
As long as he wants to enter the Beichen Pass, the Great Wei is big and has his own hiding place. As for how to enter Beichen Pass, Qi Lu did not forget that Zhuge Hong had been the commander of Beichen Pass for several years. He had to leave a way out for himself.
So everything that followed was logical.
Ambush, probe, hide, wait, toss...... Eventually, sorties.
Qi Lu just couldn't figure it out, did the collapsed city wall have anything to do with Zhuge Hong? If so, why?
He doesn't do that useless work.
And the feeling of not knowing why is what Qi Lu hates the most. So he always hung on those people, neither retreating nor fast-forwarding, and always kept a certain distance from each other.
Maybe Zhuge Hong felt that he had really fallen for this so-called trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, and after running for several miles, he finally decided to fight with him with real swords and guns.
Qi Lu crouched behind the stone pile, a pleasant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Qi Lu has always believed that the greatest way for a man to die is to die on the battlefield. It was his childhood dream of a hero, when his mind was full of how he was in his most brilliant moments. Died on the battlefield. It's dead. He is also the 'most beautiful'. He never thought that he would live smoothly to the end of his life.
Because at that time, he really felt that he had no interest in living in this world.
Father and mother are disgusted, brothers are evil, so desperate to save their lives. What's the point? Since everyone doesn't like him. And he died on the battlefield. It can be regarded as the insignificance of life and the heroism of death.
Later, when he married Xie Ke, he didn't want to die. How good it is to be alive. has a beautiful woman to accompany him, a daughter to tease, and a group of brothers who have followed him for several years.
It's just that the battlefield dream that has always existed in his heart since he was a child was finally awakened at this moment.
Whether it was the north or the south, he didn't fight happily. At this point, there is finally a chance...... Zhuge Hong was confusing him, but he didn't confuse Zhuge Hong in turn.
Dozens of guards? Blindly out of the city? Jokes, how could he have been so reckless in his actions. Seeing that it was over, Qi Lu thought that the real war was about to begin. After today, within a radius of a hundred miles from Yecheng, no one dares to question his status as the city lord.
After today, when it comes to Yecheng, the name Qi Lu will definitely be with Yecheng.
After today, no one in the world dares to underestimate Yecheng.
After today, the entire Great Wei will know, Yecheng, Qi Lu. Qilu's Yecheng.
"Brothers, let's kill tonight." Qi Lu said with a smile, his voice was soft and soft, with a cool color that was different from the past. It seems that this winter night, as if the coldness wafting in this cold wind, suddenly blows into people's ears, but it is unprovoked with a solemn atmosphere.
The generals were ordered, the long sword came out, and the sword light was cold.
The next moment, he flew out. The legend that belongs to the Qi family's guards began to sway at this moment. Qi clan, the noble Qi clan in the capital. Qi clan, the Qi clan of Yecheng's upstart.
Qi Lu, the young man who acted arbitrarily and did everything in the capital, the young man who dared to splash in front of the emperor and dare to play tricks in front of the queen.
At this moment, he transformed into a human.
"Brothers, kill, kill all the enemies, and return Yecheng to a stable world." I don't know who shouted, and with the shouting, the surroundings paused.
On the opposite side, the enemy was in disarray. originally thought that Qi Lu only brought a few dozen guards, so they chased and intercepted all the way, shooting cold arrows all the way, seeing that Qi Lu had fewer and fewer guards around him, victory was in sight.
No matter who it is, in such a one-sided situation, it will also consciously win.
After all, the farther away from Yecheng, the more difficult it is to help.
Even if it is a siege, they can also surround Qi Lu to death...... But unexpectedly, there was a shout from the other side, and there were countless black shadows around.
At first glance, there were hundreds of people. And each top has its own skill.
With a swing of the long sword in his hand, he easily split the cold arrow in two. In this frame, where is there such an embarrassed appearance as fleeing just now.
Hit the plan.
This is a war of equal strength, this is a war that takes place in a cold night. This is even a war that can hurt one's own people if you are not careful......
The sound of swords colliding, the sound of long arrows leaving the strings, the roar of injuries, and the unwillingness to fall to the ground...... So the sound and together, played the most heart-warming nocturne in the world. Fear and panic quickly spread among the enemy.
When Zhou Ziqiu arrived with the messengers, he only felt that he had entered the Shura Hell in one step.
Severed hands and legs, rivers of blood.
Torches were lit all around, and the figure that worried him stood in the middle of the torch with his hands down. Beside him, a person was bound by his arms and forcibly pressed to kneel in front of Qi Lu.
Zhou Ziqiu felt that the whole person was dead again, and he was scared alive again.
The fear brought to him by the surroundings was too great, and even Qi Lu's appearance of being bloodstained at this time was really terrifying, but compared to the surroundings, Zhou Ziqiu still made a quick choice.
He trotted towards Qi Lu, Qi Lu heard the voice and looked sideways at Zhou Ziqiu, with a smile on his face. "Lord Zhou, you didn't go back to the city?"
"The second master is nowhere to be found, how dare his subordinates return to the city. Second master, who is this person? Zhou Ziqiu raised his hand and pointed at the kneeling man. This man looked to be about forty years old, dressed in rags, his face was also black and blue, and his stubble was messy, like a homeless person.
It's just that the person's gaze really surprised Zhou Ziqiu.
"He? Although Yecheng is a little remote, you should also know his name. The surname is Zhuge ...... He was also a prominent military commander in the past. Qi Lu sneered.
Zhou Ziqiu thought about it and realized.
"That Zhuge Hong who used to guard Beichen Pass? Later, he defected to the enemy and committed treason. Qi Lu smiled, this time it was a sincere smile, this Lord Zhou is usually as timid as a mouse, and he always likes to make some painless little things behind his back.
Qi Lu naturally knew that Zhou Ziqiu was very wary of him. But Qi Lu doesn't take it seriously.
If the court sends someone to him without saying anything, and it is pressed on his head, he must also be cautious in his work.
What he did was probably 1,800 times more than Zhou Ziqiu.
Therefore, Zhou Ziqiu's small actions can also make Qi Lu happy, and as for affecting this master's mood, it is not possible at all.
Qi Lu can't be called appreciative of Zhou Ziqiu, and he doesn't care about hating it, it's not a big evil to leave Zhou Ziqiu, just like Xie Ke said, this is already extremely rare, so keep him, even if he finds another one, it may not be better than him, why did he spend so much thought. However, at this time, Qi Lu retracted his previous evaluation.
Zhou Ziqiu is still righteous.
Not only is he righteous, but he can also tell this 'truth', which really makes Qi Lu very happy.
Treason? This word is really accurate, even if Qi Lu himself speaks, he may not be able to say words more appropriate than this word.
Zhou Ziqiu's words made the kneeling man raise his head instantly, looking at Zhou Ziqiu with hatred in his eyes. Zhou Ziqiu twisted his eyebrows, he is a righteous person, no matter how hard and poor he is, he has never thought of defecting to the enemy and treason. This person is the guard of Beichen Pass, and he is guarding the peace of the Great Wei side, but for selfishness, Zhou Ziqiu heard that Zhuge Hong's only son died in the capital.
For the gang of gentlemen in the capital, Zhou Ziqiu naturally did not praise it.
But one sentence is true, a slap never sounds. If that young master Zhuge was an honest man, he would not have messed up with those fools and finally gave his life.
This kind of thing, when encountered, is naturally unacceptable. But what if it's unacceptable? Could it be that because his son died, he was going to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, so he wanted to put the northern mob into Beichen Pass, so that the people of Great Wei could also taste the pain of losing their son.
This perception is inherently distorted.
People who do this kind of thing are naturally crazy...... For Zhuge Hong, Zhou Ziqiu was full of undisguised disgust. "Zhuge Hong, you are a dignified seven-foot man, you don't respect the sky, you respect the earth, and you're sorry for your ancestors.
If your own son has not been taught well, and he has caused trouble, he should learn from the pain and reflect on himself.
But you have disregarded morality and tried to let the enemy into the pass. People like you should be rebellious. ”
