Chapter 127: The Homeland Country is Deep
Lingguzi brought thirty people, divided into three teams, and set up a three-star chain array. The wonderful thing about this formation is that the three squads are arranged in a triangle, which avoids the enemy from besieging them from all sides. Moreover, the formation changes flexibly and is extremely fast.
Aim at one or two enemies, pounce on them quickly, kill them in one move, and then quickly move on to the next target.
In this way, they are always in an absolute advantage of ten to one or two. No matter how strong a master is, he will be killed in a few breaths.
With the arrival of Sister Ling, those thieves were wiped out twenty, twenty or thirty in a bowl of hot rice, and there were still more than a dozen people left.
Fan Li sat in the carriage and saw that the enemy was about to run, and shouted loudly: "Don't let any of them go, kill them all!" ”
If one is let go, they go back and report to Wu Zixu, so that Wu Zixu knows that Yue Guo still has such a strong strength, it will definitely arouse vigilance, and maybe it will alarm King Wu.
Lingguzi's people and Shuchang's people, listening to the order, surrounded the ten thieves in the core at once. With a scream, those people fell one by one, and in less than a bowl of rice, they were all wiped out.
The battle is over. Uncle Chang and Lingguzi led people to kneel down in front of King Wu.
"See the King and Queen!"
"See the General!"
King Yue said repeatedly: "Soldiers, please get up quickly." The widow is in danger today, and thanks to the efforts of the soldiers to save them, they were able to save the day. Sister Ling! ”
"The minister is here!"
"You will report the roster of all the soldiers who participated in the war, reward them for their meritorious deeds, and give generous pensions to the families of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. Uncle Chang! ”
"The minister is here!"
"The widow named you a middle doctor, a captain with a sword, and you are still under the command of the general."
Sister Ling and Uncle Chang said in unison: "King Xie! ”
King Yue then turned his face and asked Fan Li: "Young uncle, how is the injury?" ”
Fan Li said: "It's just a flesh wound, not a bone injury." ”
The king of Yue said, "For the sake of the widow, let you suffer." ”
Fan Li said: "Protecting the king is a matter within the minister's responsibility. ”
The seventy or eighty people who came to attack were all wiped out, and more than a dozen people were killed in the battle, adding up to more than 100 people, and the mountains were full of dead bodies. Fan Li said: "King, if Wu Guo finds out that all of these have been killed by us, it will definitely arouse alarm, and the minister thinks that he will bury these corpses." Wipe out the trail. Give her a person who can't see anyone alive and can't see a corpse when she dies. Wu Zixu couldn't figure out the details, suffered a dumb loss, and couldn't tell if he had any hardships. ”
King Yue said: "This is right, you can arrange for everyone to do it." ”
So, Fan Li arranged everyone, found a trench washed out by the water, threw the thief's body inside, dug the earth with a sword and buried it, and covered it with withered grass. For the war dead under Uncle Chang, they were buried in separate pits. Then the traces are eliminated.
Fan Li arranged for Uncle Chang and Ling's sister-in-law to still cover on the periphery. If something happens, come for reinforcements immediately.
In this way, Wu Guo sent someone to investigate. Seeing a few people in a carriage, they didn't know whether something happened or something didn't happen.
Fan Li was injured and inconvenient, so a soldier named Jiang He was left with the car to take care of everyone's food and lodging.
Everything was arranged, the king and queen of Yue boarded the carriage, and Fan Li hurried the carriage and left the battlefield unhurriedly. Rush to the country of Yue.
The chariot and horse walked on the land of Yue, and the king of Yue sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but get out of the car, knelt on the ground, faced the mountains and rivers, and worshiped with tears: "The yellow sky is thick and the soil is thick, the rivers and mountains of the hundred are crossed, and the return of Goujian is coming!" Gou Jian is incompetent, so that the lives are ruined and the mountains and rivers are broken. Gou Jian will regroup and return my dignity and honor! "Say goodbye to the ground with your forehead, and you can't afford it for a long time.
Fan Li and Yayu got out of the car and pulled up Gou Jian. Fan Li said: "The king entered Wu, went through hardships, died nine times in his life, and today he has to return to his homeland, which is really blessed by God." The minister Fan Li should do his best to assist the king, make the Yue country strong again, and benefit the people of Baiyue. The king doesn't have to be too sad, please get in the car and hurry. ”
The queen of Wu boarded the chariot, urged the horse forward, walked through the wasteland, and left the mountains and forests. I saw that the land was barren and the village was in ruins, and although it took three years to recuperate, Yue Guo still did not come back. Young and strong, most of them died in battle, and the rest are women, the elderly and children, and there is still a long way to go if you want to rejuvenate the country.
Seeing the dilapidated appearance of his homeland, Gou Jian burst into tears again.
Fan Li and Yayu kept comforting, which made King Yue's mood stabilize a little.
The news of the return of the king of Yue has already been transmitted back to Baiyue, and there are already people waiting on the side of the road, they see the king of Yue's chariot coming, calling the king loudly, prostrating more than once, some people cry loudly with excitement.
King Yue hurriedly got out of the car, bowed to the people, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please get up, they are all incompetent and make you suffer." ”
A man cried out, "It is better for the king to return safely than anything else, and from then on we will have a king again." ”
Immediately someone shouted: "Long live the king!" ”
The common people knelt on the ground and shouted Long live the king! Long live the Queen!
After leaving Wu for three years, he couldn't imagine that the people still worshiped him like this, and Gou Jian burst into tears again. He walked over and picked up an old man: "Old man, please get up quickly, the better everyone treats the widow, the more ashamed the widow feels." ”
The old man said, "Whatever the king of Yue said, we have lost the battle, but let the king suffer alone, and we are all ashamed of the king." ”
King Yue said: "Old man, if you have anything to say to Gou Jian, please say it." ”
The old man said, "The king is emaciated, come back and recuperate." Take care of your body, lead the people, and rejuvenate the country. ”
King Yue said: "The words of the old man, Gou Jian has written it down, and Gou Jian must live up to the high expectations of his fathers and elders." Who else is there in the old man's house? ”
The old man said, "Both sons died in battle. A daughter-in-law with two grandchildren is living. ”
Gou Jian said: "How old is my grandson?" ”
The old man said, "The eldest grandson is fifteen, and the younger grandson is thirteen." ”
Gou Jian said: "The eldest grandson is not married." ”
The old man said, "I have a daughter-in-law, but I haven't married yet." ”
Gou Jian said: "Old man, this is your mistake, the grandson is fifteen years old, he should get married as soon as possible, so that he can have children, we want to revive the Yue Kingdom, no one can do it." When the widow returns, the first important thing to do is to encourage childbearing, and the boy and girl will be married when they reach the age of fifteen. For this matter, the imperial court also issued a decree. ”
Let's talk about it like this, there are people on the side of the road to greet them, and Gou Jian is going to get out of the car and talk to everyone. The carriage went very slowly.
Within a day, Wen Chong led the ministers to run hundreds of miles to greet them, and when the monarchs and ministers saw each other, it was nothing more than a parting relationship, laughing and crying, and laughing with tears.
Hearing that Fan Li was injured to defend the king, everyone came to condole. Fan Li's injury is not too serious, and after a few days of recovery, he is still a little lame, but he can already walk.
In the evening of this day, everyone escorted King Yue to the edge of a small village, and decided to camp outside the village in order not to disturb the people.
After dinner, I suddenly heard a faint cry from the edge of the village, and Fan Li said: "Jiang He, go and see who is crying." ”
Jiang He didn't have a long time to go, and suddenly there was a startled shout, "General, come quickly, something happened!" ”
