Chapter 5 The Suppression of Bandits

The day after arriving at Yumen Pass, Bai Qi took three hundred guards, and now the God Killing Army left, he wanted to check the terrain around the battlefield, and he also wanted to see the specific situation.

For a famous general, there are many things that can be seen just by looking at the enemy's arrangement.

The good news is that Lan Yuguo is not really preparing to start a war with Chu State, and the 30,000 troops are just for show, and it is clear that I will not leave if I don't give benefits, and you can do it yourself.

As a result, Lan Yuguo's barracks looked a little loose, and the soldiers did not have a sense of urgency that war was coming.

In recent years, this kind of thing has to happen every once in a while, and Lan Yuguo has become accustomed to it, and even every time he comes to Chu State, the generals of Lan Yuguo have to rush to sign up for it.

That's a beautiful deal!

Of course, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Lan Yuguo are in front of them, even if they are not prepared for war, it is impossible to break into the camp or rush the camp with only 300 people, and Bai Qi's greatest ability is not to charge into battle.

There is one last condition that needs to be trained by three hundred guards to become a god-killing army, and that is to see blood!

Although these guards used to be soldiers, they were only well-trained, and there had been no war in Chu for so many years, in fact, their combat effectiveness was very limited, and one of the most critical elements of the God Killing Army was "killing"!

Kill!

Kill!

Bai Qi was called the god of killing by later generations, but he was not a person who loved to kill, and the Battle of Changping killed 400,000 Zhao troops, because it was impossible for these 400,000 captives to be put back, once they were put back and reorganized, they were the great enemies of Qin.

It is impossible to raise it in the Qin State, people have no sense of belonging to the Qin State, and it is even more troublesome for 400,000 people to eat, drink, and Lazar, for the future of the Qin State, Bai Qi can only kill.

But now it's different, the killing intent on Bai Qi's body is really so strong that it can't work, the Killing God Army, the Killing God Army, that is an army that can kill the gods, why fight against the gods?

It's that skyrocketing killing intent!

If you don't kill people and don't see blood, you can't call the God Killing Army, and every soldier of the God Killing Army must have at least one human life in his hands to be qualified.

But now that you can't go to war head-on with Lan Yuguo, who will you kill?

Bandits!

Brigand!

Roving bandits!

The territory of Chu is not peaceful, because the king of Chu is weak, and the state of Chu is getting weaker, so the people in the country are a little worried, and under this worry, there are naturally many people with evil intentions.

On the way to Xizhou, because he had to hurry, Bai Qi didn't move the bandits and bandits along the way, but now it's different, he has plenty of time to prepare.

Because Lan Yuguo didn't want to go to war, they just wanted to get benefits, so they were waiting to negotiate with Chu Yuqing.

"Your Highness, the envoy of Lan Yuguo is here, and he wants to ask to see His Highness outside the gate."

The guard of Yumen Pass is a middle-aged man, with a cultivation at the peak of the human realm, and he is considered an ordinary combat power in the army, not high or low, and he is quite passable.

"Let him come." Chu Yu said lightly.

Bai Qi said that he wanted to delay time, and out of absolute trust in him, Chu Yuqing was also actively cooperating.

He Yi took the order and left, and after a while, he brought back a fat man with a smile on his face.

Looking at the other party like this, it doesn't look like an envoy of a country, but like a businessman who makes money in a friendly way.

"Lanyu envoy Kong Yin, I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of Chu State, and I ask His Highness how he is doing!"

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that being false and wrongful is not what Chu Yuqing is good at, so he didn't make any preparations, since the other party's attitude is so good, then just follow the other party's words.

"The messenger has come from afar, but he has missed the distance, please take a seat."

Chu Yuqing's face was also full of smiles.

As soon as Kong Yin saw Chu Yuqing, he knew that there was no problem with this matter today, generally His Royal Highness the prince at such a young age lacked knowledge and courage, and it would be over if he was a little scared and frightened.

Of course, harmony makes money, wool can't be finished at one time, and it hurts the most to cut meat with a blunt knife, Lan Yuguo knows the truth that you can't dry up and fish.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

After the other party sat down, Chu Yuqing asked, "Your army of 30,000 people Chen Bing Yumen is outside the gate, I don't know what is going on?" Do you have to start a war with my Chu State? ”

Kong Yin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the prince said that he laughed, when the first king of Great Chu was alive, Lan Yuguo and Chu were allies, we have been friends and neighbors for hundreds of years, how can we see each other?" Our army is only here to ask for help. ”

The words are good, after all, no matter how weak the Chu State is now, it is also one of the top four, if it really wants to fight hard, it is not something that Lan Yuguo can resist.

Chu Yuqing sneered in his heart, and asked, "I don't know if your country needs help?" ”

Kong Yin said: "Lan Yu Country is in the desert, all kinds of materials are often in short supply, the people in the country are living in poverty, as a friendly neighbor, Chu State has been trying its best to help us in recent years. We are also grateful in our hearts, but the situation is difficult, so we have to speak boldly. ”

Saying that, Kong Yin smiled awkwardly: "I hope that Da Chu can look at the past situation and give us some property and food, so that we can get through the current difficult crisis." ”

"It's nature." Chu Yuqing nodded, "Then I don't know how much you want?" ”

Kong Yin immediately said: "One million silver is enough, 500,000 stones of grain, cloth, gold and silverware, iron and the like, naturally the more the merrier......"

One stone is 100 catties, 500,000 stone is 50 million catties of grain, and the population of Lanyu Country is more than 100,000 catties, and these grains are about 50 catties per capita, which is not much.

Chu State is not short of grain at present, and 500,000 stone grain is also a common practice in the past, Chu Yuan gave Chu Yuqing an order to transfer these grains from the domestic granary and spend money to avoid disasters.

For the huge Chu State, 500,000 stone grains is not much, and this Chu Yuqing knows it.

"Not much." Chu Yuqing said with a smile, "But here is a hurry, many things have not been shipped yet, the envoy might as well wait patiently, I will order the people below to fetch the materials and send them to the envoy as soon as possible, so good?" ”

Since he agreed, there is no problem, with previous experience, Kong Yin does not doubt him, after all, this kind of thing is not once or twice.

A few years ago, the State of Chu also sent a prince to come, but the prince had a bit of a temper, and finally a general of the Lan Yu Kingdom killed him by mistake, and the Lan Yu Kingdom was quite scared at that time.

But later, the Chu State side was gone, which also greatly increased Lan Yuguo's courage, and his appetite was getting bigger and bigger, although he didn't want much at one time, but the number of times had already changed from once a year to two or even three times a year now!

Kong Yin stayed at Yumen Pass to continue to negotiate with Chu Yuqing, Chu Yuqing did not lie to him, and did send someone to transfer grain, but these grains were destined to be impossible to hand over, and Chu Yuqing would stay by himself.

About three days later, Bai Qi returned, and with him came back, there were more than 200 god-killing troops, and dozens of them died in the process of suppressing the bandits.

Those bandits and rogues saw that they had no way to live, and their fighting power should not be underestimated, and there were about 260 people left of the 300 people.

But the spirit is different!

"How?" Chu Yuqing asked Bai Qi, "Is there anything to gain from going here?" ”

Bai Qi nodded: "Lan Yuguo's army is stationed ten miles outside Yumen Pass, and it is loosely guarded, but now the number of the God Killing Army is too small, and it is embarrassing to be a heavy task." Therefore, the last general decided to start with the grain road! ”

Chu Yuqing asked: "Do you want to use the Yumen Pass as a barrier to directly fight with them, and then cut off the other party's food and grass supply, so that they can collapse without a fight?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Although the defenders of Yumen Pass are not strong enough, they still have 8,000 people, and the strongest heavy cavalry of the Lanyu Kingdom has little role in the siege battle, so it is not difficult to defend Yumen Pass." What's more, in such a situation, there is also the effect of training, and these weak soldiers should also see blood! ”

Chu Yuqing nodded, and asked again, "Then what do I need to do?" ”

Bai Qi smiled slightly: "The lord only needs to stand at the head of the city and boost the morale of the soldiers." ”
