Mu Guiying nodded secretly.

In order to win the siege war, it is inevitable that the appropriate sacrifice of troops will be made.

........

Wang Dafu didn't realize that there was fire oil on the city tower, and he was still moving troops to rush forward.

The fast-moving soldiers had already climbed up the ladder to the tower of the city and exchanged hand-to-hand hands with the enemy.

Suddenly!

Barrels of fire oil fell down the ladder.

Pungent smell that spreads quickly.

Coverage is positive and wide.

The besieging soldiers were frightened and turned around and fled.

Wang Dafu shouted angrily: "Who told you to return it? ”

"General, the enemy used fire oil."

"What!?"

Wang Dafu was shocked, raised his eyes, and saw a large amount of fire oil falling from the city tower.

And, he smelled the pungent smell of fire oil.

At this moment, with just one word of Mars, a sky-high fire will ignite outside the urn city.

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat..."

Wang Dafu's reaction was very funny.

A moment ago, he also urged the soldiers to attack the city, but at this moment he took the lead in evacuating.

It's just that...

The besieging troops were crowded under the city, and it was difficult to evacuate.

Sun Jian held a torch and threw it forward.

Rumble!

Before the torch landed, a dripping spark ignited the fire.

The flames soared into the sky and devoured everything.

A wave of scorching air spread in all directions.

It's unstoppable.

Wang Dafu ran fast and escaped first.

The soldiers were caught in the fire, struggling and screaming inside.

"Let's go too."

Wei Wuji glanced at Mu Guiying, and walked towards the outer city with the surrounding troops.

.........

The battle ended quickly.

The fire continues unabated.

Wang Dafu fled without danger.

He counted...

In this fire, nearly 2,000 soldiers were killed and wounded.

After returning to the camp, Wang Dafu asked, "Da Sima, you already know...... Can Sun Jin use fire oil? ”

"Why did the general say that?"

"When I came back just now, I listened to the soldiers of Mukezhai talking and occasionally heard it. Since Da Sima knew that Sun Jin wanted to use fire oil, why didn't he inform me? ”

Wang Dafu was very angry.

Just now, when the fire was blazing, it was good that he ran fast.

Otherwise, the old life is over.

Wei Wuji comforted him and sat down, chuckling, "Don't blame the general, the situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't have time to inform you." Fortunately, the general was old and strong, reacted quickly, and evacuated the urn city in time. ”

"Dissipate..."

Wei Wuji handed him a bottle of tea.

Wang Dafu is not a stingy person, so he quickly relieved himself and said: "Don't take it as an example!" ”

"Okay, next time something like this happens, I'll definitely send someone to inform you." Wei Wuji laughed and returned to his seat: "Tomorrow's siege battle, I don't know if the general can still be competent?" ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it." Wang Dafu said: "Although a fire caused heavy casualties to our army, I will not let it attack the city. ”

"Good!"

Wei Wuji was very satisfied with Wang Dafu's attitude: "Please go back and rest, and tomorrow morning, we will attack Wengcheng again." This time, the enemy has no oil, and we will fight our way into the palace with all our might. ”

"Yes..."Wang Dafu got up and left.

He had only taken a few steps before he reacted.

Wei Wuji didn't inform him of his retreat in order to deplete the fire oil in the city?

If so, he's willing to take the risk!

"It's worthy of Wei Wuji, who thinks more than me." Wang Dafu said secretly in his heart, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and left Wei Wuji's tent.

Night.

Inside the city of Yingdu.

Sun Jin consulted with the crown prince Chu Ji to succeed to the throne as soon as possible.

Only when you inherit the throne can you exercise the rights of the emperor.

The garrisons everywhere will not blindly fall to Wei Wuji.

Why wouldn't Chu Ji want to?

It's just that the emperor's uncle Chu Sheng is stubborn and insists on handling the funeral first.

He was also very helpless.

Sun Jin arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, those who have always achieved great things will not pay attention to rules. They all sit on the throne first, and then force those who do not obey to obey, and those who do not respect are honored. ”

"Now that Emperor Chu has died, you, as the crown prince, deserve to succeed to the throne..."

"Wei Wuji's army is just outside the city, and it could come in at any moment. If His Royal Highness is indecisive, abides by the old rules, and waits until the garrisons from all over the Chu State rush to help Wei Wuji, I am afraid that the big thing will be too late. ”

Chu Ji originally wanted to succeed to the throne, but was persuaded by Sun Jin, which strengthened his inner thoughts.

He turned his face sideways and said, "What do you say?" ”

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a minister who will propose to ask His Highness to succeed to the throne. Your Highness doesn't need to say much, just nod your head. If anyone disobeys, Musou will kill him on the spot! ”

"Alright, let's do it!"

Chu Ji gritted his teeth and responded.

In order to accomplish this important event, Sun Jin sent people to contact the ministers of the court and try to persuade them to support Chu Ji's succession.

When necessary, coercion and inducement can be used.

Until the second half of the night.

Under Sun Jin's scheme, except for the emperor's uncle Chu Sheng, they were all persuaded by him.

All the ministers expressed their willingness to support Chu Ji and inherit the throne of Chu.

Chu Ji also prepared a dragon robe and a bead crown.

He walked up and down the dormitory, unable to sleep with excitement.

.....

.....

Outside the city.

On the long official road.

A dilapidated carriage came from the west.

Arrive at Wei Wuji's camp.

The driver was a raunchy, stubble-faced man, carrying a sword on his back, and slowly walked towards the camp.

"Who?"

The soldiers guarding the village soon discovered him and immediately shouted.

The man was dazed as if he had drunk wine, and he staggered as he walked, and suddenly fell to the ground.

Two soldiers ran out.

"I... I want to see... Wei Wuji—" He exerted all his strength to say this, and then fell into a coma.

"What did you say?"

"Don't play dead, get up!" The soldier kicked him several times.

The man did not react at all.

It's like dead.

"He just said... Want to see Da Sima? Could it be something important? One of the soldiers heard what the man had said before he fainted.

Usually like this, they will be driven away.

But when it comes to Wei Wuji, they don't dare to call the shots.

The man was carried into the gate and placed in a makeshift tent.

His sword was confiscated, and he reported it to the lieutenant and sent someone to guard it.

Early in the morning.

The battalions buried their pots and prepared to go on the march.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the village went to the Chinese army and reported the events of last night to Wei Wuji.

"A strange man?" After hearing this, Wei Wuji asked, "Where is he now?" ”

"Back to Da Sima, he is in the front camp."

"Take me there." Wei Wuji subconsciously thought that it was Li Yuanba who came, and he was immediately ecstatic, full of anticipation, and rushed to the front camp with the soldiers.

But...

When he entered the tent and saw the man lying on the couch, he immediately rejected his previous suspicions.

The man was about forty and had a stubble on his face.

The left hand has a thick cocoon, but the right hand does not.

Illustrates that he used one-handed weapons all year round.

It is by no means Li Yuanba's double hammer.

"Fetch some water and splash him awake...", Wei Wuji sat aside.

The soldier took water and splashed it on his face.

"Ahem," the water poured into his mouth and nose, choking him awake.

Wei Wuji stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to see me? ”

In fact, at this time, he didn't have the heart to ask, he just wanted to see if he would provide information about Li Yuanba.

If not, kick him out.

"You... You are... Wei Wuji? The man propped himself up excitedly and put his hand into his arms.

When the soldier next to him saw it, he thought he was about to release the hidden weapon, and drew his sword at each other.

The man pulled out a dirty silk cloth from his bosom, on which a man was drawn.

Wei Wuji stepped forward to take a look, and was shocked to find that the person he painted was somewhat similar to him.

"Who the hell are you? How can there be a portrait of me? Wei Wuji felt that something was wrong, and asked again.

"Below is Nie Zheng..."

The man sat up straight and threw his hand towards Wei Wuji.

He looked dazed, his speech was low, and just as he was about to speak, he fainted again.

"......" Wei Wuji instructed the soldiers on the side: "Go outside and take a look, is breakfast ready?" Come in with a bowl of porridge and give it to him to drink. ”

"No."

The soldiers all withdrew from the camp.

Wei Wuji picked up the painting and sat aside.

Judging from the material of the painting, it is definitely not from the Chu State.

The ink on the painting has faded and should have been there for a long time.

And...

The man just reported his name--- Nie Zheng!

Nie Zheng was an assassin during the Warring States period.

Because he killed someone in his homeland, he fled to Wei with his wife and children, and went incognito.

It stands to reason that he should be in the Wei State.

How could he take his portrait and come to the Chu State?

It's unusual, and there are a lot of doubts.

Wei Wuji's curiosity was completely aroused.

The soldiers came in with 20,000 pieces of porridge.

Wei Wuji took matters into his own hands and used cold water to wake him up.

Inevitably, he fainted again, and quickly poured him two bowls of porridge.

"You go out first."

"No."

The soldiers withdrew from the camp.

Wei Wuji was patient, sat back in his seat, and said, "Your name is Nie Zheng, from the Wei State?" What's so important about coming here to find me? ”

Nie Zheng drank two bowls of porridge in a row, but he was still very hungry.

But I don't feel dizzy anymore.

He arched his hand and said: "Under the order of the King of Wei, I will look for my son to return to China." ”

"Are you talking about me?"

"Yes."

Nie Zheng raised his eyes to look at Wei Wuji and said, "Before coming to Yingdu, I heard that Gongzi went out to travel and was chased and killed by a group of strongmen, and then disappeared.

Some people say that Gongzi is in Northern Qi and has lost his memory.

Some people also say that Gongzi has become the concubine of the Chu State.

The king of Wei sent more than a dozen messengers, but they were unable to get in touch with Gongzi.

This time, after going through many difficulties and dangers, he came to the state of Chu.

I didn't expect the rumors to be true, and Childe can't remember his identity anymore? ”

Wei Wuji's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "You don't mean to tell me... I'm Wei Wuji, the second son of King Wei Zhao and one of the four sons of the Warring States, right? ”

In his mind, there was no such memory at all.

What happened before the crossing was very vague.

"Childe remembers?" Nie Zheng looked ecstatic.

"You let me slow down..."Wei Wuji's thoughts were messy, and he walked back and forth in the tent.

Before that, he had also suspected that he was the son of Wei.

But because of the vagueness of the memory, it was impossible to confirm, so I gave up.

Now Nie Zheng came with a portrait and told him that he was the son of King Wei Zhao.

How could Wei Wuji not be shocked?

"Childe, do you remember? A few years ago, when I was in exile in Daliang, I heard that Corporal Gongzi Lixian was fighting righteousness and squandering money, so I wanted to be a guest like a curtain, and Gongzi didn't even see him, so he rewarded me with wine and meat and arranged a place to live. In the next unforgettable to this day. Nie Zhengdao.

"Empty words, do you have evidence?" Wei Wuji was half convinced.

It's just that the stakes are high, and he has to be sure.

"Yes. Childe likes Chu Ci and once wrote it in Daliang. I brought a pair of them over and asked my son to take a look. As long as the handwriting matches Childe's handwriting, it's enough to prove it, right? Nie Zheng took out another silk silk.

It's full of words.

Words from a few years ago...

If the handwriting is really the same, it can indeed prove the identity.

"Am I really the prince of Wei?" Wei Wuji held the silk silk in his hand, remembering that when he first crossed over, every time he wrote, he would subconsciously write a font.

It's pretty much the same as the font on this silk sheet.

"Wuji..."Mu Guiying walked into the tent, glanced at Nie Zheng on the couch, turned around and said, "The army has been assembled, can you go on the expedition?" ”

How could Wei Wuji still have the heart to fight?

So, he raised his hand and said, "The siege of the city will be handed over to you and Wang Dafu." It is good to use soldiers, don't fall for Sun Jin's tricks. ”

"Yes."

Mu Guiying saw that Wei Wuji's expression was a little dazed, and asked with concern: "Wuji, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I have some things to deal with, you can go and get busy first." Wei Wuji said.

"Oh."

Mu Guiying left suspiciously.

"Gongzi is now a concubine of the Chu State, and he is still in charge of the military power of the Chu State, do you not want to return to the Wei State?"

Nie Zheng had already come up with evidence, but Wei Wuji hadn't expressed his position yet, which made him wonder if Wei Wuji had changed?

has become greedy for power, and even the homeland is no longer recognized?

"I believe what you say."

Wei Wuji sat down and said with a smile, "Tell me about the Wei Kingdom." What kind of person was I before, and how did I come to the Chu State? ”

"I don't know much about it."

"Say as much as you know."

"Obey orders..."Nie Zheng leaned back on the couch and began to talk about his exile to Daliang, the capital of Wei.

Until Wei Wuji made a feud with King Wei Anli and disappeared after that.

The king of Wei sent people to search for him to no avail, and sent envoys to Chu, all of whom came together.

Wei Wuji listened very seriously.

Careful analysis did not find any flaws.

He no longer doubted it.

He is the son of Wei and one of the four sons of the Warring States period.

.............

Inside the city of Yingdu.

Fengtian Temple.

Chu Ji wore a dragon robe and appeared in the court.

Hu Wushuang carried two hammers and followed him, one to protect and the other to threaten the ministers.

Those who dare to disobey will be killed.

Originally, the ministers of the court were already willing to support Chu Ji.

Chu Ji's ascension to the throne can be regarded as justifiable.

It's just that in time, there is something ahead.

It's not a big deal.

As long as you discuss it well, you can do it.

But.

The appearance of Hu Wushuang forced each other by force, which made the ministers lose face.

If they succumb, they will become greedy for life and afraid of death, how will they stand in the court in the future, and how will they be officials in the Chu State? If you don't agree, you risk your life.

The ministers dared not speak out.

Finally, a person who was not afraid of death stood up and said bluntly: "The prince's actions today have really disappointed the ministers, and he has lost the reputation of virtue, please return to the East Palace." After the emperor's uncle reads the edict, he will succeed to the throne. ”

"Bold!"

Chu Ji even put on the dragon robe, and in his mind, he was already the emperor.

dared to expel him back to the East Palace.

If this is not punished, how can it be powerful?

Chu Ji glared at Hu Wushuang angrily, and said to Hu Wushuang: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Put that daring fanatic to death! ”

Chu Ji simply called himself me, anyway, it is difficult to ride a tiger now.

Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die.

Whoever dares to disobey will let him die!
