"Waiting? The general said with a smile, how can we have the opportunity to get acquainted with Wei Hou and wait for the small people? ”

Seeing that Si Kou Tang didn't find anything suspicious, and couldn't interrogate anything, he waved his hand: "Let them go into the city!" ”

Finally passed the customs, drove the carriage, the master and apprentice walked, along the way, Chi Songzi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My good apprentice, this time for the teacher can be regarded as a loss of face, if the people in Kunlun know, you can't laugh at the big teeth?" ”

"For the sake of the apprentice, the master is tired, and when I find an inn later, I will go to buy a new set of clothes for the master."

Looking at the street in front of him, although this Puyang is only the capital of a small vassal state, it is far larger and more prosperous than the cities that I passed by before. found an inn, and when the innkeeper saw the two of them like this, he was a little skeptical that the two could pay for the house, so he wanted to excuse himself. When Na Zimo saw that his heart was transparent, he directly threw a few copper coins on the counter. When the shopkeeper saw the money, he hurriedly arranged the guest room, and asked Xiao Er to lead the carriage to the backyard to unload the carriage, tie the horse, and feed some forage.

The master and apprentice followed the shopkeeper to the guest room, and Zimo asked the shopkeeper: "Uncle shopkeeper, I don't know which clothing store is nearby, I want to buy two sets of new clothes to change." ”

"Yes, yes, turn left after the inn, about a hundred steps or so, and you can see it."

After thanking the shopkeeper, Zimo brought copper coins and went to buy clothes first. After a while, he returned and put the new clothes on the bed: "Master, I have asked the shopkeeper to boil some hot water, and we will take a bath and change our clothes before going down to eat." ”

Akamatsuko nodded in agreement. It didn't take long, the hot water was sent, and the master and apprentice took a bath and changed their clothes, and they suddenly felt refreshed. Then Zimo took off the clothes and weeds of the two people, cleaned and dried them, and Fang and the master went downstairs, found a seat, and let the shopkeeper serve the food.

During the waiting period, a few more guests came in outside the inn door one after another, and those guests booked the guest rooms, went downstairs again, occupied two tables, ordered some cold dishes and cold food, asked for wine, and drank first. Some of these conversations caught the attention of Zimo and Chi Songzi.

"Alas! Things are getting more and more chaotic in this world, the royal family is not virtuous, and the ministers are not satisfied! A bearded man took a sip of wine and sighed.

"Yes, but I have seen it through, the king has no king, the minister has no minister, I don't want him to become the overlord of a strong country, but to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, but you see that since the beginning of the first monarch, this country has not stopped, and there has been all kinds of internal friction."

"Shhhh

"I'm afraid of what he will do! In fact, can this still stop the mouths of the people of the world? ”

"Yes, at this time, the dispute between the princes and ministers and the guards has reached the point of dire straits, and I am afraid that no one cares about the life and death of our people."

"I heard that the Three Kingdoms Alliance has reached Waizhou (now east of Huaxian County, Henan, southwest of Puyang) less than ten miles, with 300 carriages and horses, and that Wei Hou has no regard for the life and death of his own people for his own selfish desires, it seems that this time he will not give up if he does not achieve his goal."

"Hehe, whatever, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, come and drink, don't talk about that bad thing."

"Your brother is broad-hearted, there is one brother, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, how can we compare with you."

"I heard that the people who led the coalition army are extremely greedy, and this time they will help and defend each other, can they be happy?"

"The two armies are fighting, and this business can't be done, so it's better to stay here for a few more days, and go to the outer state to see the excitement by the way."

"That's a good idea, haha."

Hearing this, the master and apprentice at the table next to them couldn't help but look at each other, this is a fellow practitioner, the two of them snickered like chicken thieves, Zimo whispered: "Master, let's follow them tomorrow, they are familiar with the road." ”

The next day, the master and apprentice got up, freshened up briefly, sat downstairs and had some breakfast, asked for some dry food, and poured cooked water. It didn't take long, and the group that checked in last night also came down, ate breakfast quickly, wiped their mouths and raised their legs and left.

They followed the group and did not go through the south gate, but went out through the east gate and went around the south gate outside the city.

There is still some distance from the south gate, just see the south city gate, the soldiers are ready to go, the carriages and horses are arranged in front of the city gate, a bright big car in the center of the big banner stands high, there are two big characters "Wei Gongsun" on it, fluttering with the wind. There was a man standing on the cart, with bright armor, a long sword at his waist, and a lock of black beard fluttering in the wind under his chin, who was giving a lecture before the battle.

"Today's monarch has no way, does not carefully operate state affairs, but repeatedly injured the humerus, the previous time to cut off the feet of the doctor Chu Shibi, and to deprive the doctor of the power in the hands of Si Kouhai, but also to seize the doctor's fiefdom, cruel and immoral, oppression and exploitation of craftsmen, if not for our alertness, I am afraid that I would have died under the nine springs. I thought that I waited for the princes, and died for the country and the people, but the king treated me like this, and even so, we only expelled him from the royal capital, and we and other princes still served the royal family and governed the country with all their hearts. But now, as the guard of the monarch of a country, he actually united the soldiers and horses of the three kingdoms of Lu, Yue, and Song, and wanted to attack his own royal capital, and the people who led the troops of the three kingdoms, Lu Dafu's uncle Sun Shu, Yue Dafu Gaoru, Tongue Yong and Song Dafu's raft, are not good at their generation, if they are attacked into the city, they will hurt our lives and the lives of the people in the city, and at worst they will occupy the capital and give up the world to others. For this reason, we are bound to fight to defend the capital! ”

"Defend the capital! Defend the capital! The soldiers shouted.

"Let's go!" At the sound of an order, the dust suddenly flew and the earth shook.

Watching the patriotic army drive to the front, the people watching the battle here also followed closely from the side.

After about ten miles, the patriotic army stopped and set up a formation. But there is the army in front of the block, the army lined up three arrays, each set up a big flag, from left to right are "Lu Shusun", "Yue Gaoru", "Song's raft", that Yue Guo array, a main general chariot, one person is the Yue Dafu Gaoru, and there is another person on the side, look carefully is the guard waiting for the guard.

I saw that the guard waited and said to Na Gaoru: "Please drive forward, I have something to say to the rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”

Hearing this, Nagao motioned to his men to move the chariot forward.

Wei Hou took a step forward, held on to the rail, pointed to the patriotic army and scolded: "Well, the rebel Chu Shibi, Gongsun Mimu, Si Kouhai, and others are among the courtiers, and they don't want to be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, but they refuse to be outside the city. ”

I saw that Gongsun Mimu, the leading general of the patriotic army, also drove a few meters forward, first saluted Wei Hou, and then stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The king has to talk nonsense, the matter has come to this, you and I know the rights and wrongs of this, it is useless to say more, and if you want to fight, you will fight!" ”

When the guard heard this, he was angry, pointed to Gongsun Mimu, and shouted to Gaoru: "Doctor Gaoru, you can see it, this is my good courtier!" Fast! Use your soldiers to kill the rebel for me!" ”

Gaoru glanced at Wei Hou, and pointed at the patriotic army with the order flag in his hand: "Soldiers listen to orders!" Offensive! ”

As soon as the Yue State moved, the soldiers and horses of the Lu State and the Song State on both sides also moved, and the armies of the three countries rushed towards the patriotic army in a zigzag shape.

As soon as Gongsun Mimu saw the opposing army fighting, he pointed at the command flag in his hand and shouted: "The three armies listen to my orders!" Doctor Chu Shibi fell the headquarters against the Lu army, the doctor Si Kouhai led the headquarters against the Song army, and the rest of the men and horses followed the general to face the Yue army! ”

For a time, people roared, horses neighed, and chariots collided with each other. With just one hedge, both sides lost a number of tanks, and with a slight rectification of both sides, it was another hedge.

The army of the four countries, after all, is the army of the Yue country is strong, and has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the experience is rich, and the defense of the country is a small country after all, although the domestic politics is turbulent, but the soldiers are rarely baptized by the war, and the number of chariots and horses is also at a disadvantage, and in the end it is finally defeated by the alliance of the three countries.

Seeing that things were not good, Gongsun Mimu waved the flag in his hand, led the soldiers to flee to the capital, closed the city gate and erected a defensive army.

The Three Kingdoms Coalition Army chased all the way but failed to catch up, and the carriages and horses stopped outside the south gate of Puyang, but they were helpless to the guards, and the angry guards jumped to their feet and scolded.

It is impossible to attack the city, with the three hundred vehicles of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, as well as the talents of these commanding generals, it is impossible to capture the capital of Puyang.

Zimo and Chi Songzi in the distance, looking at this child's play-like war, couldn't help but feel sad for the people who defended the country.

Not to mention that Wei Hou jumped to his feet and scolded, not to mention the Three Kingdoms Alliance, this one has no opponents, and the siege can't, and the benefits promised by Wei Hou will have nowhere to be realized, and the generals under his command will not do it, how can there be any hard work in vain in the world. The bold general glanced at his subordinates, and the subordinates immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, he led the soldiers to pounce on the nearby residents, looting all kinds of chickens, ducks, fish, meat, rice, money, and grain. As soon as they saw someone taking the lead, other soldiers joined the robbery team. Once the regular army looted, it was even more ruthless than the bandits, and this robbery was really a chicken and a dog, crying and screaming.

Look at the guard again, completely disregarding the life and death of his own people, let the soldier rob, and he himself stood on the chariot and spat wildly. Seeing that Gongsun Mimu and others still don't go out of the city, this guard is angry, evil is born from the guts, and the heart says, if you can't wait for the city, then don't blame this king for being unkind, dig your ancestral grave, see if you can't get out!

So he told Nagao Ru about his thoughts, and heard Na Gao Ru with a chill, and secretly said, although I Gaoru is not a good person, I really can't do the thing of digging people's ancestral graves. But on second thought, anyway, the king sent me to help defend Hou, and it is none of my business to dig up the ancestral grave. So he agreed, and arranged for a few soldiers to follow the guard.

That Wei Hou is not completely confused, Gongsun Mimu is an ancestor with himself, and his ancestral grave is his own ancestral grave, which cannot be planed. The ancestral grave of Si Kouhai is not nearby, so it is inconvenient. Only Chu Shibi's ancestral tomb is not far south of the city. This guard held the idea of being able to plane one by one, and led Gaoru's soldiers to find Chu Shibi's ancestral grave, and after a while, he dug up the coffin of Chu Shibi's father, Chu Shidingzi, and burned it.

That Chu Shibi stood in the tower of Puyang City and wondered why Wei Hou left suddenly, and was talking with those two. Wei Hou returned after digging the ancestral grave, carrying a coffin wood in his hand, raised it to the city, and said evilly: "Oh, that chaotic minister and thief, this is the fate of the evil king, look! This is the wood of the coffin of Master Chu's Dingzi, and this king has dug it out and burned the corpse! ”

"Oops! Kill me too! That Chu Shibi covered his heart with his hands and shouted, "Unconscious King! In vain, my Chu Shi clan is dedicated to the country, you ....... you...... You have done such a thing that has lost your conscience! If you corrupt Zhou Li, the world will not tolerate you! After speaking, the Chu master was darker than his eyes and fainted.

When the other princes saw that Wei Hou was so disregarded for the monarch's demeanor, they all shouted and denounced it. Na Gaoru also felt that this guard had gone too far, so he ordered the squad to return to the camp.

The people who were watching from a distance were really spicy by what they saw today.

Zimo looked at the departing Wei Hou, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Wei Hou blocked his way of life this time, even if he can return to the capital, he will die soon." ”

"Do you think he can return to the capital?" Akamatsuko asked.

"Unless the coalition helps him get rid of those ministers, he won't dare to let him go back. As for whether the Yue country doctor Gaoru is willing to do this, Zimo judges that it is difficult, and today's events will make Gaoru disdainful of him. In addition, the capital city may have another move tonight. ”

"What move?"

"What the Yue country has done is nothing more than to show the demeanor of a great country, the demeanor has been done, then there is still a benefit, as long as Gongsun and others promise heavy benefits, and at this time, Wei Hou has no benefits to give to the Yue people, and the Yue people will help Gongsun after weighing the two sides."

"Hmmm! The analysis is very reasonable, we might as well stay here tonight and watch it carefully. ”

Summer nights, breezy and very cool, except for the noisy mosquitoes, it is good to sleep in the wild. The sound of frogs in the pond, the crickets in the grass, the occasional night owl spreading its wings and flying, and the wild wolf howling.
