Chapter 3: Infiltration
Seeing that Fusu asked a strange question, the four Wei prisoners looked at each other and felt that this was not a military secret, so they did not hide it, and one said: "Yes!" General Wu was hunting in the mountains a few years ago and met a young man who was frozen in the snow and was dying. The general was moved by compassion for a moment and rescued him back to the ruined city. Later, because this young man was smart and clever, the general was very pleased with him, and because he had no children under his knees, he recognized him as a righteous son and treated him as if he were his own son! ”
Fusu's spirit perked up: "Sure enough, this young man in the snow must be one of my brothers in my previous life, I don't know who it is?" Then he asked, "What is the boy's name?" Wei prisoner said: "I don't know the original name, but now it seems that with the general's surname, the name has been changed to Wu Tie!" ”
"Wu Tie!" Fu Su read it twice, and suddenly thought about it: "Could it be Zhao Tie!" Under the shock in his heart, his face also changed. Everyone in the tent was stunned for a while, obviously not knowing why Fusu was so interested in this unknown 'Wu Tie'.
Fusu thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Come on, send back the Wei prisoners, and pass on my order: from now on, you are not allowed to abuse the prisoners, and you must not lack three meals a day, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" "Wow!" Several Chinese soldiers answered, and the Wei prisoners were escorted back.
Fusu said to Wuxin: "Go and ask the generals to enter the account, I have something to say!" Wuxin nodded and went down to give the order.
After a while, Wang Ben and others entered the account, and Hou Li left and right.
Fu Su pondered his words for a while, and said to the generals: "I interrogated the captives at the right time, and I feel that there is something strange in it: why is this Wu Haoyue not obvious on weekdays, but now it has suddenly become so tricky. I think there must be secrets that ordinary people can't think of. So I decided to dive into the ruined city and find out! ”
In fact, Fusu said it well, he wanted to sneak into the ruined city to meet Wu Tie and see if he was really a brother in the past. If it is true, persuade him to surrender, so as to save the brothers from fighting each other and killing each other.
When Wang Ben and the others heard this, their faces changed greatly, and Wang Ben hurriedly said: "No, how can you take such a strange risk to sneak into the ruined city." In case of an accident, the ministers will not be redeemed! The generals also urged together.
Indeed, in the event of an accident in Fusu, none of them would be able to bear such a big charge.
Fusu said lightly: "This is not a discussion, this is a military order!" If you don't find out the enemy's situation, how can you break the enemy, will you always be blocked out of the city by the Wei army like now? Don't worry, there is also my 'Qin Feng' branch in the ruined city, as long as I sneak into the city and take shelter from it, there is no danger! ”
Seeing that Fusu was resolute, and they also knew Fusu's usual temper, it was a matter that was decided, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back, so they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Wang Ben was only anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, with his relationship with Fusu's brothers, master and slave, and relatives, how could he sit and watch Fusu take such a risk, but he couldn't find a way to persuade for a while, and his face was as suffocated as a pig's liver for a while.
Fusu looked funny, and said lightly: "General Wang, don't worry, I'll be fine." When I enter the ruined city, it will take as little as three or five days, and as much as ten days, and I will return! In the meantime, the army will continue to attack under your command! Make no mistake! "Wow!" Wang Ben really had no choice but to accept the order.
"It's all gone!" "Whoa!" The generals had no choice but to disperse.

When Fusu returned to the back tent, Wuxin, Huofeng and the others could understand it, and they were also anxious in their hearts, so they hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "The prince wants to enter the ruined city in person, so it is better for us to accompany and protect each other to ensure everything!" ”
Fusu shook his head and said with a smile: "Sneaking into the ruined city, taking concealment as the top, how can I take you with me, that's not to show your identity, to kill yourself!" You can rest assured, quickly prepare a night suit and some ordinary samurai clothes for me, and I will leave tonight! ”
Wuxin and the others saw that Fusu was not allowed, so they had to smile bitterly and shake their heads. Although the four daughters of the fire phoenix looked worried, they still went to the back tent to prepare for Fusu.
After a while, it's ready. At that time, it was already night, and Fusu had a little dinner, so he changed into clothes and clothes under the service of Huofeng and others. After changing his clothes, Fu Su held a sword in his left hand and a burden in his right hand, and was about to leave the account when suddenly Huo Feng shouted: "Childe! He threw himself into Fusu's arms, and tears flowed out. Qingluan, Blue Frost, and Su Xue also leaned by their sides, with a look of worry and reluctance.
Fu Su hugged Huo Feng's slender waist and smiled: "Don't be afraid, in this world, I am a god." No one can take my life. Stay in the army and wait for me to come back! He leaned over and kissed Huo Feng on the cheek. Huo Feng's face turned red and nodded.
Then, Fusu kissed Qingluan, Lanshuang, and Su Xue on the forehead, and said softly: "Wait for me to come back!" The eyes of the four girls were red, and the tears couldn't help but stay. Fusu hardened his heart, resolutely turned around, and strode towards the outer tent.
In the outer tent, the five people of Wuxin are silently waiting for their lives. Fusu paused and said to Wuxin: "Wuxin, you send me out of the camp, remember, although I am not here these days, you must make the illusion that I am still in the tent, so as not to be known by the Wei army's spies!" "Wow!" Wuxin nodded.
As soon as Fusu and Wuxin came out of the tent, they saw a tall warrior standing in front of the tent. In the midst of the firelight, the red armor shimmered with blood-red brilliance, which looked extremely demonic. Fusu was stunned, isn't this Wang Ben! Then he said to Wuxin: "You go back, General Wang will send me later!" Wuxin nodded and went back to the account.
"Big brother!" Fusu let out a low voice. The mighty Wang Ben turned his head, a trace of unrelenting sorrow appeared on his face, and said solemnly: "Fourth brother, do you have to go?" Fusu nodded and said, "You will enter the ruined city!" ”
Wang Ben was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I know the temper of the son, and I will not change it after making a decision, and I also understand that the situation of the abandoned city is by no means so simple." I don't have anything to say for my brother, I'm here to give you a ride! Fusu nodded and clenched the big hand sent by Wang Ben.
"Let's go!" Wang Ben strode first, followed by Fusu. In the breeze, the footsteps are heavy!
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, until they left the camp gate, and only stopped before approaching the Wei army's defensive line.
Fusu stopped and said, "Big brother, stop, don't do it for the time being!" Wang Ben nodded and said in a deep voice: "Treasure! ”
Fusu smiled, nodded, and resolutely turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
******
According to the observation during the day, the Wei army's defense line on all sides was very tight, only the area of Phoenix Mountain to the east of the abandoned city was connected to the abandoned city, and the defense at the junction was slightly lax, and there were woods and mountains as cover, so there should be no major problem in sneaking in. So, Fusu went around to the foot of Phoenix Mountain to the east of the ruined city, and followed the undulating mountain to sensitively avoid the Wei army patrolling the mountain, and sneaked under the ruined city.
Taking advantage of the gap between the Wei army's patrol posts, Fusu threw a flying rope, hooked the solid battlements, and flew up the city wall in three or two clicks. After putting away the zipline, Fusu briefly observed the terrain around him, followed the ramp to avoid two Wei army posts, and infiltrated the city.
Because the city was in wartime, it was very well guarded, and groups of Wei troops patrolled back and forth, and the streets were full of sonorous and powerful footsteps. Fusu relied on his agility to evade a group of Wei troops, and searched for the Hongtai Inn, Momen's contact point in the ruined city, in the east of the city.
It didn't take much effort, Fang looked for three or five streets, and Fusu found Hongtai Inn.
The door of the inn was now closed, and only the two dead wind lamps at the door were still flickering in the cold night breeze.
The soldiers were in chaos, the Qin army was besieging the city again, and the inn had no business at all, so they all closed early.
Fusu looked around and began to knock on the door. "Knock knock, knock ......" three short and one long.
After a while, a deep voice came from inside: "Who?" ”
Fusu said in a low voice: "Ink travels the world!" The voice inside the door was stunned, as if it was a little surprised, but quickly replied: "Stop the violence!" ”
Fusu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had found the right place, and the door immediately "creaked" open. A middle-aged shopkeeper in his thirties appeared, and the shopkeeper quickly looked at Fusu, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Come in!" Fusu flashed into the inn. The shopkeeper quickly bolted the door, then turned back to palm the oil lamp, and whispered, "Come with me!" ”
Fusu nodded, and followed the shopkeeper to a small room in the backyard. The shopkeeper didn't know where to touch it, and suddenly a cupboard against the wall slipped to the side, revealing a secret room. The shopkeeper motioned for Fusu to follow, and after the two of them entered the secret room, the shopkeeper unscrewed a gossip pattern on the wall, and the cupboard quickly came back.
Fusu couldn't help but praise in his heart: The Momen mechanism is really exquisite.
The shopkeeper put the oil lamp on the table, asked Fusu to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency is ......?" ”
Fu Su smiled, took out the 'Juzi Order', the shopkeeper's complexion changed, and then his face was respectful, and he quickly bowed to the ground and said: "Subordinate Zhao Qian to meet 'Juzi'!" Seeing the shopkeeper's excited and somewhat overwhelmed appearance, Fu Su sighed in his heart: "The appeal of 'Juzi' is so strong, no wonder it is said in ancient books that the disciples of Momen are willing to sacrifice their lives and forget death for 'Juzi'!" ”
Fu Su smiled and said, "Get up, I sneaked into the ruined city today, it's a private matter." And I ask you, are you familiar with the conditions in the city? ”
Zhao Qian hurriedly replied: "Every day, there are tea customers chatting in the store, and my subordinates know something!" ”
"Good!" Fusu nodded and asked, "Do you know General Wu Haoyue?" How much do you know about his adopted son Wu Tie? ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "This General Wu Haoyue has been guarding the ruined city for many years, treating the people kindly, and has a very high prestige in the ruined city. However, its military talent is not too prominent. But after his righteous son Wu Tie came to the ruined city a few years ago, the city changed: not only the city walls of the ruined city were rebuilt, but a large number of urn walls, moats, moats, and strange equipment such as 'thunderbolt cars' and 'Wugang cars' were built. Moreover, the training of the defenders of the abandoned city is more strict, but in just one year, it has become a strong force of the Wei State! Tea guests privately say that these changes are mostly the ploy of this little general Wu Tie! General Haoyue admires it very much now! ”
"Oh,!" Fusu was now 100% sure that Wu Tie must be one of the brothers in his previous life. Continue to ask tired: "Then where is General Wu Haoyue's mansion?" ”
The shopkeeper replied: "It's in the general's mansion next to the school field in the center of the city, and it's very easy to find." The biggest and most magnificent one is that there is a pair of bronze stone lions outside the door! ”
Fusu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll sneak into the general's mansion later, don't ask about the specific things!" The shopkeeper nodded when he heard this, but said with some hesitation: "There are many guards in the general's mansion, does 'Juzi' need the help of his subordinates?" Fusu shook his head and said, "No need, it's enough for me to go alone, and I'll be back later!" ”
Fusu immediately left his burden in the store and sneaked to the general's mansion.
******
With the skills of Fusu, although the security in the general's mansion is strict, it is also like entering a no-man's land. After infiltrating the general's mansion, Fusu kidnapped a family member, and after asking Wu Tie where he lived, he knocked him unconscious and hid in a hidden place.
This is a secluded courtyard, quietly filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants at night. The lights were still on in one of the middle rooms, and there was a faint sound of reading in the room. Fu Su listened carefully, and what he read turned out to be 'Wu Qi's Art of War'.
Fusu sneaked under the window and took a closer look: in the haze, he saw a tall young man reading a book under the lamp. When I saw the rise, I couldn't help but applaud.
Fusu looked at Wu Tie's face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, heroic and resolute, which was somewhat similar to Zhao Tie in his previous life. Fusu hesitated, came to the front of the room, and knocked on the door gently.
The knock on the door sounded, Wu Tie was stunned, thinking it was a servant, so he responded: "The door is not closed, come in!" ”
Fusu squeaked open the door and entered the room. Wu Tie looked back and saw that it was a black-clothed masked man with a long sword on his back, and his mood was shocked, but his face was silent, his figure slowly stood up, and said lightly: "Who is Your Excellency, why did you break into the General's Mansion at night?" ”
Fusu smiled, but his voice was a little excited: "The rejuvenation of China, the reappearance of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Wu Tie's face changed when he heard this, showing a look of great joy: "Are you ......?" ”
"I'm Cheng Feng! What about you? ”
"Cheng Feng! I'm Zhao Tie! Didn't expect to see you here! Zhao Tie was overjoyed, and flew over, hugging Fusu fiercely and hugging him a few times.
Fusu took off the veil on his face and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, is this how you entertain old friends?" Zhao Tie smiled honestly and said, "You, you are still as free and easy as before!" Sit down, sit down, and tell me how you've come all these years! ”
Fusu sat down and said excitedly: "I am lucky, after being reborn, I became the eldest son of the king of Qin, Fusu, and I have been carefully hiding myself all these years, and at the same time I am doing everything possible to find you." Not long ago, General Wang Ben urgently reported that he had encountered stubborn resistance in the ruined city, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that one of our brothers must be here, so I immediately rushed over! What about you, how have you spent all these years? ”
Zhao Tie was stunned, and said with some bitterness: "You are really lucky!" I'm different, I was born in a poor family in Fengqiu Township, Wei State, and I have been struggling for food and clothing since I was a child, let alone studying. And you know, I know pretty little anything other than fighting. And he came from a low background and was young, so there was no way to change the situation at home. Later, when the Qin army attacked Wei, my parents died in the war, and I became an orphan when I was only ten years old. In the next three or four years, I wandered around in the Wei Kingdom, and I had seen enough of the white eyes of the world and endured the heat and coldness of the world. Last winter, I fainted in the snow from hunger and exhaustion. Fortunately, General Wu Haoyue passed by when he returned to the abandoned city from Daliang and rescued me. Later, General Wu learned my military talent, so he accepted me as a righteous son, treated me as his own child, and not only asked a famous teacher to teach me contemporary knowledge, but also personally taught me the art of war from my family. That's what I experienced! ”
Hearing this, Fusu was shocked: although Zhao Tie said it lightly, it can still be seen between the lines how tragic and miserable Zhao Tie's childhood will be. Fusu seemed to see the tragic scene of the ragged Zhao Tiemao, who was recommended by himself, but was driven out of the house again and again by the servants of the wealthy families who looked down on people.
Fusu said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Tie, I've hurt you." Do you know the whereabouts of the other brothers? Zhao Tie shook his head in disappointment: "No! You're the first and don't know where the others are! ”
Fusu thought for a while and said: "Brother Tie, you should understand the general trend of history, the pace of Qin State to dominate the world is unstoppable, you still persuade General Wu to submit to my Qin State!" Zhao Tie shook his head and said, "Impossible, my father-in-law is loyal to the Wei State, and it is a hundred times more difficult for him to surrender to the Qin State than to kill him!" ”
Fusu was suddenly embarrassed: "Then Brother Tie will go with me." Our brothers join hands to fight the world, and we will surely make the prestige of China famous all the time! Zhao Tie heard this, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hesitated again, and after a long time, Zhao Tie gritted his teeth and said, "Cheng Feng, forgive me for not being able to obey my fate!" ”
Fusu was surprised: "Why? ”
Zhao Tie's eyes flashed with a complicated expression: "First of all: if a person is not filial, it is difficult to be called a person, Qin Jun killed my parents, this hatred is not shared, I can't surrender; Second, if people are unjust, they will not stand: my righteous father saved me from danger, but I am like a father and son, if I turn my back on him, it is unjust, and I cannot surrender to Qin! I beg your pardon! ”
Fusu exclaimed: "Brother Tie, if you don't surrender, don't you want our brothers to fight on the battlefield?" Zhao Tie looked up to the sky and sighed: "Time, luck, and life!" I want to conquer the world with you, but now my identity doesn't allow me to do so! If I do this, my parents' souls will not give me peace of mind, and my father's earnest teachings and the ardent expectations of the people of the ruined city will also make me unable to sleep peacefully! ”
Fusu was anxious when he heard this: "Brother Tie, what you said is all small righteousness, is it more important than the great righteousness of the unification of China?" Zhao Tie sighed all his life when he heard this: "Cheng Feng, I have too much baggage in this life, and I can't walk lightly to follow my ideals like you." Do you remember a modern poem that we used to love so much? Zhao Tie groaned:
The armoured war horse
The sharp halberd
The full bow
And the soldiers who died in a desperate manner
Driven by a golden drum
Fight for the Motherland
When the cold bronze pierces the flesh
The blood of justice will go down into history
Maybe
Every ray of peace dawns
All through the tragedy of war
Shines with the light of humanity......
Zhao Tie said lightly: "Every time China is reunified, there will be people who shed blood, there is no right or wrong, only the strong and the inferior, then let me also shed a drop of blood for the reunification of China, I hope that the Qin army can step on our blood to a more brilliant apex!" ”
