Chapter 108: Rivalry

"Fool......

Looking at the letter paper in his hand that had been sent back again, Chu Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo's eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

Although he didn't know if this word was a dialect slang for the Wei side, if he thought about it carefully, it was not a good word to be hit by the word "stupid".

"Obviously at a disadvantage, but still dare to insult the hostile strong army like this, it seems that the commander of the Wei army is not a sane guy......

Thinking of this, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, couldn't help but feel worried about the safety of his cousin Pingyujun Xiong Hu.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, instructed the guards on the left and right: "Call Lian Bi over." ”

"Yes."

The guards clenched their fists and ordered to go, but after a while, they invited the general Lian Bi.

"Childe."

"Hmm." Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, nodded, and asked Lian Bi: "Lian Bi, you were asked to bring those people with the army, where are they now?" ”

Lian Bi hugged his fists and said respectfully: "Is Gongzi referring to those prisoners in Zhaoling City?" …… After getting the letter from the son, he sent someone to guard them, and now they are in the army. ”

"Okay, take them, I'll take a trip to Wei Ying."

"Yes."

After a cup of tea, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, took the general Lian Bi and led half of the army towards the Yanshui camp of the Wei army.

The remaining 40,000 Chu soldiers continued to cut down local forests to build camps.

Around the time of Shen in the afternoon, an army of 40,000 led by Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, arrived at the Yanshui camp of the Wei army.

The arrival of this army can be said to have touched the nerves of the soldiers on duty in the Wei camp, who hurriedly sounded the alarm, and hundreds of soldiers struck their shields with swords to warn the entire military camp: The Chu army has arrived!

Hearing the siren, King Su Zhao Hongrun and Bailiba hurriedly took their entourage to the south camp wall. Climb the camp wall to personally check the Chu soldiers outside.

They couldn't help but wonder a little, because it stands to reason that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, should not wave his army to attack the Wei army's Yanshui camp before their Chu army has built a camp, after all, the fortress-like Yanshui camp is not something that can be easily conquered in a moment and a half.

Wondering, but they weren't worried at all, even. On the contrary, they hoped that the Chu army would attack this Yanshui camp without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

But unfortunately, the 40,000 Chu troops slowly lined up in formation a stone's throw south of the Wei army's Yanshui camp, and waited for a while without any intention of attacking.

However, the commander of this Chu army, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, took the initiative to drive his war horse to the front of the army, and observed the Yanshui camp of the Wei army in the distance at close range.

And the results of careful observation made the prince and nobleman of Chu frown.

Because under close observation, the shock he felt was far more detailed than when he looked at Hao Gang from a distance in the morning.

"A certain ...... It is Xiong Tuo, the king of the city. ”

After pacing back and forth on the war horse for a few steps, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, shouted in the direction of the Yanshui camp: "Who is in charge of the camp opposite, come out and talk to someone." ”

"What the hell is this guy trying to do?"

Zhao Hongrun stood on the camp wall and frowned and observed. muttered.

On the side, Baili Ba was also puzzled, shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see." …… He won't run outside our barracks with tens of thousands of people for no reason. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then turned his head to look at Bailiba.

His eyes conveyed a message: will you come or will I come?

Bailiba smiled and raised his hand to make a 'please' gesture.

Thinking about it, he has given up the right to speak to Zhao Hongrun, so naturally he will not steal the limelight from His Royal Highness King Su.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun took a step forward. Holding on to the wood on the camp wall with both hands, he shouted in a deep voice: "A certain is Ji Run, the king of Great Wei Su." What advice does Tsujo-kun have? ”

"Huh?"

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was stunned when he heard this, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Zhao Hongrun on the wall of the Wei camp in the distance, and a burst of surprise appeared on his handsome face.

He originally thought that the person in charge of this Wei camp would be a certain general of Wei State, but he didn't expect that it would be such a young son of the Emperor of Wei State.

"Ji Si (Zhao Yuansi)'s son?"

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, muttered in his heart, and his face was a little displeased.

You must know that he has a hatred with Wei Tianzi. After all, when he was young, he was put together by the latter when he conspired with Wei Tianzi against the Song State, so that he gave Wei the State most of the Song Kingdom in vain, but he did not get the slightest benefit.

This incident later spread to the state of Chu, making this prince of Xuancheng a laughing stock among the princes and nobles of Chu. That's why he still haunts it.

After thinking about it, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, shouted: "I came here this time, just for one thing...... A certain cousin, Pingyujun Xiong Hu, was captured by you and others? ”

"It turned out to be for Xiong Amber......

Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized, did not hide it, and said truthfully: "Yes, the Pingyu Jun of your country is in my military camp at the moment. ”

"Good ......"

Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was really relieved when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was that Wei Bing did not know the severity and killed the life of his cousin Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu. After all, as soon as a person dies, everything is over, and there is nothing to be saved at all.

"Release him!"

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha......"

On the south wall of the Yanshui camp, Zhao Hongrun's laughter sounded, and the laughter was full of sarcasm.

And Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, was not surprised by this, after all, he didn't think that the Wei people would release his cousin so easily.

So, he turned his head to Lian Bi, the general behind him, and said, "Those people ...... Bring it on. ”

"Yes! …… Bring it on. ”

With the order of Lian Bi, the general of the Chu army, more than ten ragged men were threatened with knives and guns by dozens of Chu soldiers, and with indignant faces, they slowly walked to the front of the battle.

"These people ......"

Zhao Hongrun's face changed slightly, because from the official uniforms on these ragged men, he recognized that most of these people were local officials of his Wei State.

Sure enough, Xiong Tuo's words affirmed the identity of these people.

"These are the officials of your country's Zhaoling City...... Ji Run, how about you and I have a deal? How about you release my cousin Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, and also release these officials from your country who summoned Lingcheng? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the dozen or so Wei captives. He said lightly: "My lords, the king of your country is here, don't you have anything to say?" ”

The dozen or so Wei captives glanced at each other, their faces indignant, they obviously guessed the intention of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, to say this, but out of courtesy. Indeed, they should bow to His Highness the King of Su on the other side.

Because his whole body was tied by ropes, the captive who was the leader of the dozen people knelt on the ground with a puff and shouted in the direction of Zhao Hongrun: "Xiaguan...... Zhaoling County Fu Chen Bing, bow to His Royal Highness King Su. ”

As he bowed, more than a dozen Wei captives behind him also knelt on the ground.

"Chen Bing? Zhaoling's county Fu Chen Bing? ”

Behind Zhao Hongrun, there was Pei Zhan, the former county magistrate of Yanling County, who was accompanied by him, and when he heard this, his face changed greatly, and he squeezed through the crowd and stood in front, shouting loudly: "Chen Xianfu, can you recognize me Pei Zhan?" ”

"Master Pei?" Chen Bing was stunned. exclaimed: "Lord Pei of Yanling? …… Is Yan Ling okay? ”

"Sure enough, it's Lord Fu Chen Bing of Zhaoling County......

Pei Zhan took a closer look, and his face showed a little sadness.

You must know that Yanling is not far from Zhaoling, and there is only a Linying County in the middle, so they have also been in contact with local county affairs such as borrowing grain, and they can be regarded as local colleagues who have a friendship.

It's just that I didn't expect that this Lord Chen Bing of Zhaoling became a prisoner of the Chu army.

"Yan Ling...... No big deal. Pei Zhan sighed. He replied loudly: "Thanks to the arrival of His Royal Highness King Su and the support of the Junshui Battalion, my Yanling survived......"

"That's good......" Chen Bing smiled relievedly. Then he kowtowed heavily in the direction of Zhao Hongrun, and shouted in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Su, the incompetence of the lower officials caused the loss of Zhaoling, but I summoned the soldiers and civilians of Zhaoling to fight until the last moment." It didn't disgrace my Great Wei! …… I, Lord Liu Xu, the military captain of Yanling, and the soldiers of the whole city were all killed in battle, although we and other civil officials fought, it is a pity that the dust was captured by the Chu army, which is really a great shame! With that, he looked up. With a tragic face, he shouted: "We have already sprouted the will to live and die, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives for my Great Wei, His Royal Highness the King of Wangsu should not care about us, and we must not let the treachery of the Chu State succeed!" ”

In the last sentence, he obviously looked back at Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and shouted.

"What nonsense, shut up!"

When a Chu soldier saw Chen Bing insulting them, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, kicked Chen Bing to the ground.

Looking at this scene, the Wei people on the wall of the southern camp of Yanshui all clenched their fists.

"Your Royal Highness......" Pei Zhan looked at Zhao Hongrun with a pleading face, and stopped talking a few times.

Seeing this, Bai Liba, the general of the Junshui Battalion, hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness, although the experience of those adults is sad, however, it must not be exchanged for Xiong Amber...... Xiong Hu is a prisoner in my camp, so that Xiong can be used to throw a rat trap. ”

"Your Highness......"

"Your Highness......"

There was a lot of discussion here, and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng over there, was already impatient, and shouted in a deep voice: "Ji Run, do you agree to exchange prisoners?" Ben-kun doesn't have that much patience. As he spoke, he snorted coldly and said deliberately: "If you don't want to exchange prisoners, then it's useless for Benjun to keep these prisoners...... Come on, kill someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Hongrun's angry shout from the direction of Yanshui Daying: "You dare?!" …… Come on, bring up the Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, if you dare to kill a person indiscriminately, kill him! ”

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, frowned, and then laughed and said, "Hugh wants to trick me!" …… How dare you kill my cousin? If you kill my cousin, all these people will die! ”

"Humph! …… You're right, since you can't kill it, it's always okay to cut off an arm, right? …… Come on, go to mention Xiong Amber, if you kill a person indiscriminately on the other side, you will chop off Xiong Amber's hand! …… Chop your hands and feet, chop your feet and cut your meat! ”

『……』

Listening to Zhao Hongrun's murderous shout, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, was frightened by the King Su on the other side, who was more than ten years older than him.

Even the Chu soldiers, who were already preparing to kill one of the Wei captives with a knife, were also shocked by this scene, and carried a knife to the head and neck of one of the captives for a while, but after all, they did not have the courage to really cut it down.

After a long time, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, waved his hand: "Stand down." ”

Seeing this, the Chu soldier withdrew his weapon with a sigh of relief.

"Suwang Ji Run......

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, looked at the young enemy's son with a complicated gaze.

His guess came true, and in the Wei army camp opposite, there was indeed a commander who was "not very rational". (To be continued.) )
