Chapter Seventy-Three: Stepping into the Kingdom of Shu (1)
"It seems that you are ready, you are ready to realize, what do you need? What can I help you? Ji Fa said.
Du Yu didn't expect Ji Fa to be so direct, thought for a while and said: "We may need the cooperation of other soldiers, with the strength of these villagers of our tribe, we can't confront the soldiers of the Bai Guan clan head-on no matter what, although they are very brave." ”
"Is the gap too big?" Ji Fa asked.
Du Yu nodded and said: "The villagers of our tribe, I know best, now I am their head, although they are extremely brave, but fighting is not all about bravery, I have suffered many times in this regard, and I finally completely figured it out, now training may be a little useful, but without weapons and armor, it is impossible to win." ”
"I know that after returning to the Zhou Kingdom, I will send someone to bring you weapons and armor, and then send a general to help you train, now you should help me."
"Huh?" Du Yu was very puzzled.
After a while, Ji Fa sat in front of him with a satisfied face, Du Yu frowned, he now knew what Ji Fa asked him to help, and arranged the accommodation of three thousand soldiers, but he was so busy that he was busy until the night.
"I thought you were leaving, but I didn't expect to bring back 3,000 soldiers, but it frightened me, how did you find us here at such a distance?"
"It's God's arrangement, everything is a coincidence." Ji Fa said.
Du Yu didn't have anything to ask, this answer was really speechless, and he couldn't find any loopholes.
"Okay, let's get down to business, we're here now, and the leader of the Baiguan tribe is here and here, basically distributed along the river, they are all wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, our people are watching them intensively on the other side of the river, and as soon as there is any trouble, we will start acting immediately."
"What action?"
"Take the people of the tribe to escape and hide, take everything with you, in fact, most of the people in our tribe have hidden all their things in a secret place, and there are only a few days of rations and houses in the house, once we find out that the soldiers of the Bai Guan clan are attacking, we will immediately hide all in a secret place and hide, so that there is no loss."
Ji Fa was stunned when he heard what Du Yu said, this is too powerful, it is estimated that after the people of the Baiguan tribe called, they would find that there was nothing, and they would waste grain and grass in vain, and if the house was set on fire, there was really nothing left, this trick was too powerful, no wonder when I first came in, I found that there was nothing in it. I thought that the people here were so poor, but what I didn't expect was that it was a strategy of theirs.
"It's a smart approach, but it's not a long-term solution, sooner or later, the people of the Bai Guan clan will force you to have no place to hide."
"It's really a hit on the head, yes you're right, we know it's not a long-term solution, but it's also a way to do it, after all, we're alone, but now it's going to be different. After you come, I am confident that with the help of your soldiers, we will be free. Du Yu said very happily.
"Let's talk about it, what's in it for us Zhou Guo?"
"The Olympics will gain infinite respect and worship from our tribe."
"Something practical."
"Then ... Paid some tribute? ”
"How much to pay, less doesn't count."
"Hand over some grain and grass."
"Every year, one-third of the grain and grass are all tributed to our Zhou State."
"It's so ruthless... But it's still acceptable, as long as you can help our tribe defeat the Bai Guan clan, I am willing to be the master. Du Yu had no choice but to say, there is no way to do it at the moment, without Ji Fa's help, without the soldiers of Zhou State, they will always be able to be beaten passively.
In comparison, Ji Fa's proposal is much better, and it is also conducive to the stable life of the people, not to mention that after conquering the north, there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass.
"No problem, in the future, you will be the vassal state of our Zhou State, and you will pay homage to me as a monarch and a minister."
"Huh? What do you mean? I have not been taught much etiquette in my country. ”
"Kneel down and call the king."
"The King." Du Yu said that he knelt down and knelt down.
Ji Fa helped him up, so Du Yu and Ji Fa repaired the matter, so it was settled, and at night, Ji Fa told the soldiers about it, so that the soldiers could sleep peacefully.
"Do you dare to follow me to explore the Bai Guan clan's barracks at night?" Ji Fa said.
"If you dare to dare something, I will lead the way." Du Yu said briskly.
The two men mounted their horses, crossed the bridge, and began to walk along the north bank of the river, with the purpose of the barracks where the leader of the Bai Guan clan was. If you go to visit, you can basically conclude that the soldiers of the Bai Guan clan are very strong, and there is basically no mistake.
Ji sent the aura, drove the aura to the horse's hooves, and gave a little aura to be attached to the hooves of the horses that Du Yusuo was riding.
Then the two men rode their horses all the way to the west.
"How do you feel about today's horse, the more you run, the more energetic and faster you run." This made Du Yu feel very comfortable, and Ji Fa was silent, although all this was his credit, with the help of the aura, the two of them soon came to the vicinity of the largest barracks in the vicinity.
"I looked at all the people in it, the camp here is the largest, it should be the people of the Bai Guan Technique, there is a hall or something in it, it looks like it should be brought by the leader of the Bai Guan clan.
"Walk in."
Don't look at him as middle-aged, Du Yu's skills are not decadent at all, and he is still like him when he was young, so there is no problem in wearing a barracks.
Zhong Haotian thought to himself.
The two of them shuttled into the barracks, all tiptoeing, Ji Fa did it through aura, but he saw that Du Yu was also able to do the same, and he was agile, and sighed that he was so powerful, and began to look around, the two of them kept avoiding the soldiers, and then one after another the camp tent turned, and suddenly came to the camp without soldiers, but there was a candle fire inside.
The two of them entered the tent curiously, but found that it was full of grain and grass in the tent.
"Shall I go to the army of this era and pile up all the grain and grass in the camp tent?" Ji Fa wondered in his heart.
"But come to think of it, in the center of the camp, how can ordinary people come in? It is estimated that in the barracks, no one can think of it, let alone pile it up in the camp tent, if it rains, it will not wet the grain and grass, so that it can be stored for a longer period of time, but the biggest failure is... ”
Ji Fa looked at the candle flame, he looked at Du Yu, Du Yu said: "There are several tents with candles in the vicinity, could it be that they all store grain and grass?" ”
"Let's go and have a look."
The two of them went their separate ways, and what they saw with their own eyes confirmed their thoughts, and it was indeed true, the tent with candles lit was indeed piled up with grain and grass.
"Hey... It would be nice if my men were here, or if your soldiers were here, otherwise we would have taken away so much grain and grass, and in this way, our people would not have to worry about eating this year. Du Yu said annoyedly.
"Hey, hey, don't think like that, what we can't get can't be given to the enemy."
Ji Fa had a wicked smile on his face, picked up the candle flame and threw it directly into the grain and grass, and then turned around and left the camp, and then they hurriedly went to several camps in the vicinity, and all of them threw the candle flame on the grain and grass. Soon the candle flame met the dry grain and grass, and it burned brightly in an instant.
Du Yu looked at the fire that was burning, and muttered to himself: "What a spectacular fire, it's just a pity that it's so food and grass." ”
"What are you doing, while their soldiers haven't come yet, they ran and begged." Ji Fa called out to him, and then ran away.
"Wait for me, run, run." Du Yu reacted and hurriedly ran away with Ji Fa.
The fire continued to burn, and soon the smell of burning paste spread throughout the barracks, and the soldiers on patrol soon found the burning grain and grass, and began to shout everywhere: "Come and put out the fire when the grain and grass are burned." ”
The soldiers of the Bai Guan clan who were sleeping were awakened from their dreams one after another, and then they all ran out of the hurried armor without caring about wearing them, and then went to put out the fire. Soon, more and more soldiers were awakened, including the leader of the Bai Guan clan, who was also awakened and hurriedly rushed out to investigate.
"I can't save the grain and grass, it's all over, it's all burned."
At this moment, it is impossible for the grain and grass to burn anymore, and a group of soldiers of the Bai Guan clan looked at the burned grain and grass, looking very helpless and desperate.
"Damn." The leader of the Bai Guan clan slammed the table.
Several generals standing beside him bowed their heads one after another.
"What did the patrolling soldiers do, why didn't they find a fire? What to eat now? Eat them? Is there enough meat on them for us to eat? The leader of the Bai Guan clan said angrily.
"Or ... Let's withdraw first, chief, we have been fighting for a few days, and we have not received any loot, so we will not be able to supply our soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers will be chaotic. ”
"No... The army finally came here, and laid down so much territory, although it was not replenished, these places are now ours, we can think of ways again, such as fishing, you can also eat wild fruits on the trees to satisfy hunger, and you can also dig wild vegetables on the ground to eat, in short, this is all food, bear with it first, after a few days to take this tribe in one fell swoop, we will occupy the south, so that there is no worry about no food to eat, they have been hiding, do you think they can hide to the ends of the earth? The leader of the Bai Guan clan said gloomily.
"But... Well, the boss as you wish. The generals under his command didn't dare to say anything more.
"Damn the Yuyu tribe, I must conquer you, by the way, the envoys of the Zhou State, are you sure that they have all been intercepted outside the country? I can't let them see this scene, otherwise once they intervene, maybe with the temperament of King Zhou, they will send troops to help them, maybe I don't want to cause trouble, tomorrow at dawn, immediately attack and advance, and strive to loot some grain and grass. ”
"Chief."
"Hahaha is really happy, I've never been so happy, cool and comfortable! A fire burned it all out. Du Yu howled.
Ji Fa smiled and didn't say a word, and the two of them kept running, running towards the tribe of Yuyu.
"I'm afraid we'll need to retreat overnight." Ji Fa said.
"Why retreat? Don't they have no food and grass? Shouldn't they be the ones who are retreating? Du Yu asked curiously.
"It should be us who don't retreat, they will attack your tribe early tomorrow morning, this is my guess, but if I were them, I would do the same."
"Can you tell me why?" Du Yu asked suspiciously.
"Do you think that the army will return in vain, and no one can bear it, so why not march and occupy the village? Maybe you can get some supplies, and besides, there are rivers and water, and there are so many fruit trees, even ordinary people can live, let alone the soldiers who are reorganized, I believe that coping with the food of these days should not be a problem for the soldiers of the Bai Guan clan, what do you think? Ji Fa said.
"It makes sense to you, then we really need to hurry."
After a while, the two returned to the tribe, and Ji Fa suddenly had other ideas.
"Don't call everyone until now, I have an idea." So Ji Fa whispered in Du Yu's ear.
"Good idea, you're really a smart king, aren't all kings as smart as you...
At dawn the next day, the peculiar trumpet of the Bai Guan clan sounded, and then their soldiers advanced one after another, and began to cross the Madam River, and searched the river to the south bank, so that at this marching speed, the soldiers of the Bai Guan clan would kill the tribe in less than half an hour.
And here Ji Fa, they are ready.
After an hour, the leader of the Bai Guan clan was riding his horse on his way, when suddenly a soldier came running on a horse excitedly.
"Report to the leader, the people of the Yuyu tribe have been found ahead, and they are carrying some grain and grass."
"It's great, what is missing, what is missing, the whole army will attack and get back the grain and grass." He excitedly gave orders.
"Chief."
The leader of the Bai Guan clan led the soldiers to charge directly, just when they were about to reach the Yuyu tribe and saw the grain and grass in front of them, thinking that they had something in their pockets.
"Woohoo." Zhou's horn blew.
"Kill."
Ji Fa rode and led the soldiers to suddenly kill them from behind.
"Where the hell did the soldiers of the Zhou State come from? Run, run, run to the village in front. ”
The leader of the Bai Guan clan led the soldiers, constantly running forward, and had just entered the tribe.
"Ignition."
Du Yu led the village Yong and set fire to the houses in the village, and soon the fire was very bad, and fires were burning everywhere, directly blocking the soldiers of the Bai Guan clan in the fire, and the fire surrounded them, and they couldn't move.
