Chapter 511: Conflict between the two sides
The next day, a simple team marched forward in the mountains and forests.
"Brother Gu, thank you so much, we have gained a lot less in the past few days, these two countries are at war, I don't know when it will be the end... I still remember that in the past, when the emperor was still a prince, he led the team through here, not that I was talking nonsense, at that time, Queen Shu also lived in the cold house for a day, and ordered the army to be polite to us farmers. But now...... Hey, I don't know what's going on. ”
Uncle Xiang held a bow and arrow in his hand, recalling the events of many years ago.
"That is, His Majesty is more and more unwilling to see us people, and he has long forgotten that in the past, when they had no food to eat, they were all sent by us people..."
"Look at what they have done this time, it seems to be a matter of course to beg for food from us, the only sheep in my backyard has been taken away by them, doesn't Queen Shu know? …”
Gu Xunfang listened to everyone's complaints, and suddenly remembered what happened in Kyoto. He remembered Yun Shu's words, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, perhaps...... These people will be more powerful than he imagined...
"Haven't you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
Gu Xunfang's face was a little embarrassed, "You don't know, it has spread in Kyoto, and the people who escaped from the palace have confirmed that the queen in the palace at this moment is a fake at all, and Queen Shu was killed three years ago..."
What the? … Everyone's faces changed, "Brother Gu, what you said is true?" ”
"yes... That impostor is Queen Shu's own sister, and the two are twin sisters, so they have been hiding it for the past three years. ”
"Well, do you know?"
"How can you know that you can't feel it when there is a different person next to you? Emperor Xiao was jealous that Queen Shu's prestige in the hearts of the people far exceeded him, so he liked the new and hated the old and abandoned Queen Shu. Don't you think that in the past three years, Yi Guo has been very weird? ”
As soon as Gu Xunfang said this, everyone immediately remembered a lot of things.
"There's such a thing... Queen Shu...... Queen Shu is so kind and intelligent, she, she is still the lifesaver of our family... Has Majesty forgotten the things that the Empress Mother did for him? …”
"Uncle Xiang, if Empress Ruoshu is still alive, she will definitely not agree with Emperor Xiao to provoke a dispute between the two countries, but it's a pity that ......"
The faces of the crowd were full of anger, and they didn't expect them to be kept in the dark... Queen Shu died unjustly, Emperor Xiao is really chilling...
Gu Xunfang looked at the changes of everyone with satisfaction, "If the Yi Kingdom is strong enough, other countries will not dare to attack at all, if it is not for Emperor Xiao's great ambition, how can King Chaha invade the border, hey, you don't know, the people on the border are even more miserable..."
"I knew this was the case, we, we ...... at the beginning, we shouldn't have supported Emperor Xiao as the emperor... But...... At that time, Queen Shu was still alive, and there was no one more suitable for the world than her.
"Uncle Xiang, we're here, look... There's a fawn up ahead..."
Everyone immediately recovered from their anger, and a brown deer shadow in front of them instantly burrowed into the grass, "Quick, don't let it run..."
The hunters immediately chased after them, and ahead was the place where the soldiers of the Yi Kingdom had buried their traps.
"Wait..."
"Brother Gu, how can you ......?"
Hearing only a miserable roar, the little deer actually hit the trap, and the beast trap-like thing immediately cut off its legs, so powerful that the hunters not far away couldn't help but be shocked, if it wasn't for Brother Gu to stop them, they might have the same fate as this deer.
"There's something weird here... There must be other traps on the ground..."
"yes... Isn't this going to force us to a dead end? What if our people get hurt without knowing it? They looked at the deer, which had already died, and if they touched the trap, they would immediately splatter blood on the spot.
"It's too much of a deception... Let's destroy these traps..."
"Good..."
……
"Oh no... Oh no... The traps on the mountain are somehow gone..."
What the? … The faces of the generals in the tent changed, "What happened?" "Could it be...... Did someone from Tatsu do it?
Cao Fang followed the group and quickly caught up with the forest behind, and sure enough, the traps all over the ground were destroyed and couldn't bear to look at them directly, and all those weapons were dug out, broken and thrown aside, and there was still a little blood on the ground.
"Who did this? "There are so many traps, but it took a long time for a soldier to bury them to complete, how could they become like this in one day?"
"General, here..." A small soldier found out about the situation, and everyone immediately followed, only to see a few homemade long arrows stuck in the ground not far away.
"It's the farmers down the hill..."
The generals were immediately furious, "Bold... Dare to destroy the trap we have set, these people can't do it..."
Cao Fang always felt that this matter was a little strange, "Those farmers under the mountain? Why would they break our trap? ”
"Perhaps, it's the people who colluded with Chenguo......"
"The general is angry, don't make a judgment, the matter has not been clarified."
"Lord Cao doesn't know that these Diao people didn't cooperate with us before, they must have a grudge and deliberately sabotaged our plan... Let's go down and arrest them at once, and then tell your majesty ......"
"Wait, why bother with this little matter, we can just deal with it ourselves, some Diao people, grab it and torture it and show it to the public, see if they dare to sabotage our plan..."
Cao Fang looked at these angry generals and felt bad in his heart. At today's juncture, it should be the unity of the military and the people, not like this at the moment. Moreover, he did not want to harm innocent people.
"Let's go..."
However, before Cao Fang could say anything, the generals had already walked down the mountain with a group of soldiers. No one noticed that at the rear of the line, a small soldier had stayed.
"Oh no... A group of soldiers has broken into the village..."
Sister-in-law Xiang immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand, "Ling'er, you hide in the house first, don't come out..."
"Say... Any of you who has broken the trap we have set and handed them over will not hurt the others..."The general at the head looked at the group of villagers in front of him who were dressed plainly, but with stubbornness on their faces.
"We don't understand what the general means by this."
"Don't understand? With a clang, a small soldier threw the pile of rotten iron in front of everyone. "What is this, you don't know it, do you? Still want to deny it? So what's going on with this arrow? …”
The village chief looked embarrassed, and someone in the crowd had already stepped forward.
"This mountain is supposed to allow hunting, so what's wrong with us going up to the mountain to hunt today?"
"Hunting? Does hunting need to destroy our traps? Believe it or not, General Ben will punish you for a great crime of colluding with the enemy country..."
Cao Fang looked at the scene with the strong smell of gunpowder in front of him, and immediately realized that he had made a big mistake, he didn't expect that there would be farming and hunting on this mountain, so he caused such a big trouble.
"Collusion with enemy countries? What evidence do you have? … We're just going up to the mountains to hunt, so it's also a collusion with the enemy? …”
Strange, weren't these farmers very in awe of them before, why did they all seem to eat chili peppers today? The generals only felt that their faces were gloomy, but they had military merits, and these Diao people didn't take them seriously.
"Well... Since you admit that you broke these traps, take them back..."
"What? What are you going to do? …”
Several soldiers stepped forward and surrounded Uncle Xiang and the others, but they still straightened their backs and did not show any fear.
"Okay... You guys one by one, can't you all turn it around? …”
"Stop..."
At this time, everyone immediately got out of the way, and saw the village chief holding a golden handkerchief slowly appear in front of the generals. He never imagined that he would be able to take this thing out in his lifetime.
"We, Heping Village, helped Emperor Xiao and Empress Shu repel the enemy army many years ago, this is what Empress Shu gave us Heping Village back then, so that our Heping Village will never be disturbed by war, and you have no right to arrest the people of our Heping Village..."
A token appeared in everyone's sight, and the generals' faces changed, the token was real... It's just that I didn't expect that such a poor village would still have such a thing, and they looked at each other in front of them, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a trace of red smoke rose from the mountain forest, and after a while, an urgent report was heard not far away.
"Oh no... General, Tatsukuni has attacked our military camp..."
"What? "Sneak attack... It's only evening...
For a while, several generals immediately retreated in the direction of the barracks with a cadre of soldiers, and the villagers behind shouted angrily, "Don't come again... Our Peace Village is not easy to bully..."
Cao Fang followed behind this group of people, looking at the indignant people, and secretly said something bad in his heart.
You must know that this is a battlefield, and the army stationed there is actually at odds with the local people, which is very unfavorable for the situation...
The flames soared into the sky, and countless soldiers of the Chen Kingdom slid down from the drawbridge and landed in the forest where there were no traps for a long time.
"Rush... Kill ......"
……
Kyoto.
"What? The military camp on the bank of the North River was attacked by a sneak attack with heavy casualties? Xiao Yichen didn't expect to receive the news so quickly. The barracks were actually attacked, what were those generals doing? …
"Your Majesty, at that time, several generals were not in the camp."
"And where are they? Xiao Yichen's angry voice made the person who came to report couldn't help but shake his body, "Here, in the peaceful village......"
The aura on the angry emperor's body changed suddenly, and the man immediately kowtowed and told the ins and outs of the matter.
"Ridiculous... "Actually let several generals leave the barracks for such a small sesame thing, he has never heard such a ridiculous thing in his life..."Wait, what kind of village do you say that village is called?" ”
“…… Peace Village. ”
Peace Village? Xiao Yichen's face gradually converged, and the memories brought him back to many years ago, he seemed to have really lived in that village, and ...... A clear and beautiful face came to mind, Xiao Yichen's body shook, and for some reason he felt that his heart had been hit hard.
