On this day, Situ Zhongxingrui played: "My lord, I received a letter from Kui Guo yesterday, Kuihou wants to hold an alliance meeting in our country this autumn, and invite all ASEAN vassal states to participate in discussing how to contain the Western Alliance headed by the Wing State. When Xian Gong heard this, he secretly complained: This alliance meets once every three years, and it has no substantive effect, that is, Kuihou takes the opportunity to show the strength of ASEAN and consolidate its hegemony. However, according to the custom, the host country has to bear the costs of all the guest countries, and it is a large expense to welcome the send-off. But if he refuses, he will openly oppose Kui Guo, and Liu Guo really can't afford to offend.

I didn't know what to do, so I only heard Han Shitong say: "The minister also has a story, according to the report, the southern barbarian Lirong is now allied with the Wing State. Should we raise an army against Lirong to defend the alliance? "Dedication to the public: Although this Lirong country is a small country in the south, it can be rich in gold, and the country is rich and the soldiers are outnumbered. In the past, they were a member of ASEAN, and they couldn't move, but now they happen to be famous, destroy their country, seize their wealth, solve the expenses of the alliance, and at the same time can curry favor with the alliance leader, Kuiguo, which is really a lot of success. I can't help but secretly praise: What a Han Shitong, it really solves the urgent need of the widow.

Xiangong pretended to be angry and said: "There is such a ridiculous thing! Zhao Qing, are you willing to lead troops to fight against Lirong? Zhao Yuanmin replied with a smile: "My lord, this small country, the minister recommends a young general, and he will definitely be able to live up to his mission." Xiangong asked, "Who is it?" Zhao Yuanmin replied steadily: "Childe Ru." Xian Gong was surprised: "He? The widow knows that he has always liked to dance with knives and guns, but can he lead soldiers to fight? Zhao Yuanmin said in an unquestionable tone: "If the son is resourceful and skillful in bow and horse, he will definitely be able to take down Lirong without much effort." Si Kou Beigong Xiang echoed: "This Lirong country is weak in small soldiers, it is better to let Gongzi let go, and by the way, on behalf of the lord, he will raise the prestige of my country in the southern countries." Xiangong also felt that this battle was nine out of ten, so he ordered Gongzi to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses, and set up troops half a month later.

After retreating from the court, Beigong Rulai came to see Zhao Yuanmin and asked, "General, who should I use as my deputy general?" Zhao Yuanmin smiled: "I've thought about it for you." There was a man named Sun Boyan who had been serving as a lieutenant under me. Before joining the army, he made a living by juggling the rivers and lakes, traveled south and north, traveled around the world, and also knew a lot about the countries in the south, and was calm and careful, so it was most suitable for him to be your lieutenant. Let Jing Zhi be a partial general for you, I wish you a hand. "Beigong Ru knows that this battle is just a small test. Zhao Yuanmin wanted to take this opportunity to let the two brothers establish their prestige in the army and accumulate experience, so he replied loudly: "General Xie for guidance." Zhao Yuanmin then said solemnly: "Although Lirong is small, after all, we are attacking from afar, and Lirong will definitely ask for help from Yiguo, so we must fight quickly before the reinforcements arrive." Beigong Ru nodded yes.

Half a month later, Beigong Ru came to her mother's room to bid her farewell, and saw that her mother was accompanying her younger brother Gongzi Sheng to practice calligraphy. I only saw a little boy carved in pink and jade who was struggling to write stroke by stroke, and the concubine next to him looked at him with a smile, while wiping the sweat on his forehead with a silk handkerchief. Since six years ago, Concubine Ping Gui had this little son, and she regarded him as a treasure, Beigong Ru had never seen her mother show her face like this for more than ten years, and the arrival of her younger brother seemed to usher in a spring for her mother.

Beigong Ru asked how his mother was okay, so he also came up to look at Sheng'er's handwriting, and said with a smile: "Mother, Sheng'er is really serious." Concubine Pinggui's eyes flashed with the pride of being a mother, and she touched Sheng'er's head and said, "No, I'm tired and sweaty." Beigong Ru smiled and said: "My mother is so eccentric, my mother was holding a rattan when I practiced calligraphy when I was a child, and this Sheng'er wrote a few words, and my mother was afraid that he would be tired." Xiuying teased him and said, "Look at how old this person is, and he is still jealous of his younger brother." ”

The crowd laughed. After talking for a while, Sheng'er clamored to go out to play, and Concubine Pinggui coaxed softly: "Okay, Sheng'er is good." So he asked Qiaolian, the maid who had just come to serve Gongzi Sheng, to take him out. Beigong Ru said goodbye to his mother and walked out, thinking: I used to go out to play for a while, and my mother would definitely be angry. It's really that people are getting older, and their hearts have become softer, so spoiled. Early the next morning, Beigongru took the generals to bid farewell to the prince, and led the soldiers to get on their horses and go.

The army marched forward, and the leading young general was Beigong Ru. He was handsome and straight, with a silver armor and white robe, an arrow bag on his shoulders, a reins in his left hand, and a saber in his right hand, and his face was calm and calm that did not match his age of eighteen. He walked side by side with the deputy generals Sun Boyan and Zhao Jingzhi, and listened to Sun Boyan preach: "This Lirong country is a place where Rong Di and the Central Plains people live together, and the royal family is surnamed Xiuyu, which is a mixed blood of Rong Khan. The people of this Rong are blue-eyed, and their customs are different from those of Middle-earth. Zhao Jingzhi asked curiously: "How is it different?" Sun Boyan said: "From the monarch to the people, men only marry one wife and do not take concubines. Women are free to choose their spouses, without the orders of their parents and the words of matchmaking. Zhao Jingzhi was surprised and said, "There is such a thing? Beigong Ru nodded and said: "The two are happy, and only one scoop of 3,000 weak water is also a beautiful thing in the world." ”

The brigade marched during the day and camped at night, and Gongzi did not commit any offense with Minqiu as strictly ordered. After walking for about a month, approaching the country of Lirong, the climate is getting hotter, and the surrounding scenery has gradually changed from the scenery of the north to the scenery of the south. The border guards of the Lirong State did not expect the Liu State to send troops to attack, and they were caught off guard. Gongzi led the troops straight in, and within three days, the army was under the city of Gudora, the capital of Lirong State. Beigong Ru sent someone to send a war letter, to the effect that the Lirong State was treacherous and took refuge in the Wing State, and the special alliance leader crusaded against Lirong and made a date to fight tomorrow.

However, it was said that when the king of Lirong received the war letter, the civil and military forces panicked, and they should open the city and surrender in unison. At this time, the voice of a young woman outside the hall sounded, crisp and full of majesty: "Father, must not. Today, they are menacing, and there is no mention in the war book that we should admit our mistakes and surrender, and it is by no means as simple as asking for the guilt of the ASEAN Rejuvenation Division. It seems that he is just using the crusade as an excuse, and he really wants to embezzle my land and plunder my wealth. We can only fight to the death and ask for help from the Wing Country at the same time. ”

She slowly stepped into the main hall and walked to her father's side, a pair of blue eyes like two pieces of ice jade inlaid on a snow-white face; Under the delicate little nose is a coral-red lip. The long black hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she was not coiled up like a Central Plains woman. Her beauty lies not only in her national appearance, but also in her intimidating bearing and the intelligence, sophistication and self-confidence in her eyes. I only heard her turn her head and say to everyone: "If we surrender now, we will also lose the country, it is better to go out and fight against the water, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." The king, too, was inspired, and said firmly: "Well, we will decide the victory." The princess nodded and said, "Father, the morale of the enemy is high, we must dampen their spirit, delay as much time as possible, and wait for reinforcements from the Wing Country." Then he commanded the generals to do this and that, and the generals took the command and departed.

The next day, Beigong Ru led his troops to the city to set up a good formation, and asked Zhao Jingzhi to drive forward immediately to fight. Zhao Jingzhi shouted under the city for a long time, and there was no reaction from the city. I waited another hour, but there was still no movement. The soldiers in the Liu army began to talk about it, thinking that the small country of Lirong was too afraid to open the door to fight, and waited for the king of Lirong to go out of the city and surrender. At this time, the city gate suddenly opened slowly, and Gongziru shouted: "All the soldiers are ready to fight!" ”

Everyone was vigilant and ready to go. But I saw hundreds of Rong women with good figures, long hair and blue eyes walking out of the city. Dressed in various colors of tulle dresses, they were extremely enchanting, singing and dancing slowly towards the army. The Liu soldiers have fought for so many years, they have never seen such a formation, they are all fascinated, and even more squeezed into the front row from behind, vying to see the beauty of the Rong women, and the formation was chaotic for a while. It was too late, it was fast, and suddenly two teams of cavalry rushed out from the left and right, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the Liu army, rampage, and scattered the Liu soldiers.

Beigong Ru shouted: "Scheme! "Dancing the knife and slapping the horse, and fighting with the soldiers. It turned out that these 100 women were all the daughters of the soldiers, and the soldiers saw their wives and daughters scratching their heads in front of the enemy, and they hated Liu Jun even more, and they were very brave and unusually brave in the battle. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Sun Boya killed a few soldiers in a row, rushed to Gongzi Ruma and shouted: "Childe go quickly, don't fall in love with war!" Beigong Ru took Sun Boyan and Zhao Jingzhi to fight their way out of the siege, retreated outside the city, and ran wildly all the way. Seeing that the soldiers did not chase after him, he stopped to pack up the remnants of the soldiers, and ordered that there were less than 2,000 people left. Childe was filled with grief and indignation, and punched the tree, and the green tendons on his forehead swelled with the rough breath he exhaled, and he blamed himself hatefully: "I underestimated the enemy." ”

Three days later, Gongzi regrouped his troops and horses and came to the city, and the soldiers opened their eyes wide for fear of some tricks. Suddenly, thousands of arrows in the city were fired, and the feather arrows rained down on the Liu army, and the one who was hit by the arrow immediately vomited blood and died. It turned out that the arrows were coated with poison, and the throat was sealed with blood. Gongzi did not dare to attack, and led his troops to retreat for several miles and set up camp. He realized he had a tough opponent and it was going to be a tough fight. However, the whole country of Liu thought that breaking Lirong was like a treasure in a bag, and the army could only support it for more than a month, and they must take Gudora City as soon as possible. But looking at the current situation, Lirong fought stubbornly in the city, and the people's hearts were excited, while the Liu army was heavily injured and demoralized. Now you can only outwit, not attack.

Gongziru discussed with Sun Boyan and Zhao Jingzhi that night: "We raided Lirong, and they shouldn't have much food and grass to prepare in the city. After some time, the city will run out of ammunition and food, and they will definitely want to end this battle as soon as possible. Zhao Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, but the poisonous arrow in front of me is a hurdle." "Not only that," Sun Boyan said, "the weather in this southern barbarian land, after a while, will be very hot, and we, the northerners, will definitely be tired and have no combat effectiveness." The three of them discussed until late at night, and there was no solution.
