Chapter 39: Defeated Countries and Strong Powers (6)
When Li Along heard that the king was on an expedition, he bowed down to the north a few times, and worked harder to direct the peasants to make armor and weapons, and actively dealt with the affairs of the fiefdom.
So that year, Ji Fa led 2,000 soldiers to the border city of the northern Zhou State, intending to recover the lost territory and attack the dog Rong. Two thousand soldiers set out in a mighty manner, leaving Xiqi City and marching north towards the border city.
Ji Fa spread out a map in his hand, which was drawn by the scouts of the Zhou Kingdom, and it can also be said that he was a skilled craftsman, Ji Fa found that although the accuracy of this map was not high, it was also drawn very carefully, the content in it was very detailed, and the map was also very large, and even where there was a river to replenish the water source, it was recorded very clearly.
Ji Fa observed this map, he found that the border city in the north of the Zhou State is far away from the other cities of the Zhou State, but it is relatively close to the Dog Rong, so that if the Dog Rong sends troops, it is to occupy the geographical advantage, and the Dog Rong has lived in the local area for a long time, and the terrain and environment there are very clear, and it is no wonder that the Dog Rong has sent troops many times in history to attack the cities of the Zhou State, and there is a reason for this.
Ji Fa looked at the map, most of the border cities on the way from the dog to the dog are the endless Gobi Desert, or the open terrain of the flat river, such a terrain is very conducive to the attack of the dog Rong's soldiers, because the soldiers of the dog Rong are very good at cavalry and horse warfare, so they also have an advantage in this point.
Look at the terrain is only a small number of high slopes, and then there is a vast desert, there are a few rivers in the middle, it seems to be a battleground, the terrain here is at war, the soldiers' water must be consumed very much, at this time the water of the river can be directly drunk, because there are not so many harmful substances, and there are not so many impurities and pollution, the people in the river can be directly drunk, and it is definitely cleaner than the current tap water.
This point makes Ji Fa a little difficult, according to this advantage to fight, not to mention the two thousand soldiers he brought, even if there are five thousand soldiers, I am afraid it will not be easy to win, and now the border city is surrounded by a critical situation, according to the front scout, the dog Rong near the border city may reach two thousand people, from the point of view of numbers, it does not occupy any advantage, such a number of troops, Ji Fa is carefully studied and considered, if there are too few troops, it is to send heads, too much Xiqi City will be empty, if the surrounding tribes come to attack, Or other countries to attack, in that case the base camp will be dangerous, so it is naturally very suitable to send such a small number of troops.
But Ji Fa didn't expect that the current situation is not optimistic.
"You have to find a way to win." Ji Fa put away the map and began to sit up and meditate.
In this way, when the march reached the evening, the soldiers all started their lives and made fires to cook, and Ji Fa looked at the terrain here, and found that it was in a low place, and there were some small woods around, although the vegetation was not so dense, but there were still some of them.
He thought for a while: "It may not be appropriate to set up camp here, if you can set up in a high place, you will not go to a low place, as the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, plus there may be wild beasts and insects in the woods, it is easy to lose your life if you sleep at night, and there is a small hill above, and it is better to camp there." ”
"When the whole army had eaten, marched to the hillside ahead, where they camped and slept."
"Yes, my lord."
The soldiers were tired from a day, and they had been waiting for dinner for a long time, and they all began to get busy.
Ji Fa leaned on the line, thinking about how to win, he sent troops this time not only 2,000 soldiers, but also more than 200 soldiers.
At this time, the captain of the army brought some food, put it in front of him, and said, "Your lord, it's time for you to eat." ”
Ji Fa reacted, felt that his stomach was empty, came back to his senses and began to prepare for dinner, when he saw the meal, he was stunned for a moment, and found that the meal was simply too good, no different from what he usually eats.
Ji Fa thanked the captain of his own soldiers, and then let him take it and eat it.
"The king, but the meal is not delicious? I'll just have someone redo it. ”
"It's delicious, this is the meal that the Lone King will reward you, eat it quickly."
"Yes, King Xie." The captain of the pro-soldiers left happily.
Ji Fa came to the middle of the soldiers who were cooking and eating together, and when he saw that all the soldiers were eating ordinary meals, his tears fell directly.
When the soldiers saw that the king was coming, they wanted to salute but were stopped by Ji Fa, who motioned for everyone to sit down, and then everyone sat down and continued to eat, and he came to the pot and took a bowl of rice and began to eat.
The soldiers were stunned, some couldn't believe it, and rubbed their eyes one after another, but found that it was true, their king sat together and ate with him, and he still ate the same meal, and the soldiers were a little moved.
Ji Fa devoured a bowl, then put the bowl aside, saw that some soldiers finished eating, some were looking at themselves, he took the bowls of those soldiers, and served them rice, many soldiers were moved and speechless, some wept directly, and some were constantly kneeling down to worship the king, how could they have been treated like this, the lord of a country eats the same meal as himself, how can he be virtuous, and can enjoy such honor and treatment.
At this time, Ji Fa finished eating, stood up and kept walking, watching the soldiers eat, looking at the happy eyes of the soldiers, he smiled and let them eat well, at this time he came to a soldier, this soldier was eating with a wolf, but the clothes on his body had broken a big hole, Ji Fa frowned, the temperature here at night is very low, so the soldier will be frozen at night.
Ji Fa took off his cloak, and then put it on the soldier, then patted him on the shoulder and left, the soldier finished eating, only then did he react, felt the cloak on his body, and was greatly surprised, the soldiers around him came over, touched his cloak and said.
"You kid is so blessed!"
"This is the cloak that the king gave you!"
"Put on the warmth? Now you don't have to get cold at night. The soldier took the cloak and cried directly, knelt in the direction of Ji Fa's departure, and kowtowed a few times.
"How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with the Son?" Ji found that he personally understood the meaning of this sentence. And he tried to do it.
After the soldiers finished eating, they put out the fire and set up camp on the high slope, and the soldiers set up Ji Fa's tent, Ji Fa walked in, found a mat and sat down cross-legged.
This night, the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhou State and the king were closely connected, not because of anything else, but because the heart was closely linked with the heart. Soldiers sometimes ask for a very simple meal, a full meal, a warm clothes, a respect is enough, they have received great kindness, all their strength, work hard for you, even if they give their own lives are not afraid at all, because this is what they want, and they have pursued all their lives, just as the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, which is also the truth.
"So it's almost over tonight. Someone's coming. Ji Fa shouted.
The captain of the pro-soldier came over as soon as he finished eating the meal given by Ji Fa, knelt down and said, "What's the matter with the king." ”
"It's too troublesome, don't bow down when you see me in the army in the future, just talk about things, you go and send a few capable scouts to guard the surroundings of the garrison, take turns to keep vigil and monitor the movements nearby, once you find an emergency, immediately blow the horns of the calf and wake up the soldiers." Ji Fa said to the captain.
"Yes, my lord."
Soon the captain of the army sent some scouts, distributed all the traffic arteries around the garrison, as well as the dangerous terrain, and guarded the place, and every move could not escape their eyes.
Ji Fa thought about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, but after thinking about it, he didn't have any clue, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"It is still necessary to observe more and grasp the situation first, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can win a hundred battles, and now we should understand the situation outside the border city of Zhou State, and then make plans." So Ji Fa told the guards outside the tent that he was asleep and told them not to let anyone in.
He quietly left from the back of the tent, and then he carried the mental method of the basic internal strength of the flood wilderness, and dispersed the spiritual energy into his legs, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Lan Ling, is there anything that can reach the border city in an instant?" Ji Fa asked.
"Yes, master, how many points do you have now, do you want to take a look at the level 1 store of defeat value? There's a lot of stuff in there.,There's a lot of it that is very helpful to the current master.,This is open according to the level.,It's also based on the value of the defeated country that the owner has.,Comprehensively open it.,Every time you look at the items for sale, it's different.,And the value of the defeated country is not the same.,Refresh it every 24 hours every time.,Master, do you want to take a look at it now? Lan Ling said in a sweet voice.
"Is it true to use the value of a defeated country as currency? If it's interesting, then check it out. ”
So the interface of the defeated value store appeared in Ji Fa's mind, and many products were directly displayed on it, and he looked at it to see that there were one-time flying chess, ninety-nine flying chess, and so on.
"What is flying chess for, Lan Ling?" Ji Fa asked curiously.
Lan Ling said: "That's what the master just said, one time to reach the designated place, it's this kind of prop, one-time is that it can only be used once and then disappears, and in the same way, ninety-nine times is the number of times it can be used." ”
Ji Fa understood, and he looked at the defeat value required for one-time flying chess.
[One-time flying chess needs to consume 2 defeat points]
【Do you want to buy it?】
"I bought it and played with it." Ji Fa chose to buy.
【Confirm Successful Purchase】
【Defeated Country Shop Cooldown】
In the next second, a small blue flag appeared in Ji Fa's hand, and he silently thought in his heart about the periphery of the border city, a place where no one was, but it was the closest to the border city, and then his heart moved, and he disappeared in place in an instant.
Outside the border city of Zhou.
Inside the Dog Rong Camp.
The leader of the dog Rong was there drinking and eating meat alone, and this man had the appearance of a jackal, shirtless, and chewed on the meat with a mouth full of grease.
"Grandma, the city gates haven't been opened for two days, and tomorrow I will attack the city and kill all of you." He bit the bone in his mouth, and then he ate it all.
At this time, one of his subordinates came in, smiled and bowed down to him, and said, "Chief, see what good things I have brought you?" ”
With a wave of his hand, his subordinates brought in a few boxes, and when he opened the boxes, the saliva of the leader of the dog was dripping, and his eyes were stunned.
"These boxes are all money, grain and currency, there are so many, it's really a bumper harvest."
The leader of the dog looked greedily at the contents of the box, then leaned on it, picked up a currency and licked it, and smiled happily.
He said, "Greyhound you did a good job this time, take some as a reward." ”
The gray dog was very happy to hear that he had received the reward and said: "Thank you Captain Tiangu, I swear to the wolf totem outside the tent that I will definitely break through the border city of Zhou and give you more treasures." ”
Tiangu Daxi said: "Okay, well, not to lose the warriors of my Inurong tribe, tomorrow you will lead two thousand warriors, one thousand to attack the city, and the other thousand to guard the back gate of the city, all killed, after entering the city, slaughter the city for three days, half of the women's property will be taken by you, and the remaining half will all belong to me." ”
"Yes, the greyhound obeys the leader's orders." Then the greyhound greedily left.
In the camp of the dogs, there is a long totem erected in the middle, on which is a white stone carved in the shape of a wolf, and then there are some scattered fires around, and the tent is where the soldiers of the dogs sleep.
All this was seen by Ji Fa who was lying on his stomach not far away, just now Ji Fa teleported here, he was lying here for a long time, just now the gray dog and the heavenly dog said two people, he listened to it all, all in his heart to write down, with the help of the aura, Ji Fa can easily hear every word and every word said by everyone in the dog camp.
At this time, he suddenly heard a voice that should not be in the camp, and it turned out to be the voice of a woman speaking.
Ji Fa quietly got up from the ground, and then half-bowed, with the help of the night, coupled with the support of the aura, he easily jumped into the camp, he put the aura at his feet, and then crept up quietly, passing through one camp after another, the camp of the dog in the dark night was quiet, only some guards stood at the door, and then a few sporadic soldiers patrolled.
Ji Fa quietly walked past the guards, thanks to the help of the aura, he walked without a sound, so it was not a difficult task, the guards were sleepy in the night, some of them dozed off in a drowsy state, and some kept turning around, not to mention monitoring the movements around them, it was good to fall without drowsiness. Therefore, Ji Fa walked past them, and he was not defenseless at all.
