"If only a brother could help me with this!" A thought that had been echoing for several days once again floated in Wu Qing's mind, and he stared helplessly at the Zhou soldier patrol in the distance through a small hole.

After leaving Chuzhou, Wu Qing went out day and night, all the way in a hurry, first westward bypassing Qingliu Pass, and then straight to the north, after entering the Haozhou border to reconnoitre, and then tracing the river upstream, straight to Shouzhou. The closer he got to Shouzhou, Wu Qing found that the Zhou army's patrols were more intensive, and he patrolled the periphery for three days to find out the rules of the Zhou army's movements, until late at night on the eighth day of November, when he took advantage of the gap to cut in and lurk in the garbage heap in the southwest corner of Shouzhou City.

However, after lurking and observing in the middle of the night, Wu Qing found that there were fires and torches everywhere under the city of Shouzhou, and the soldiers of the Zhou army patrolled one after another, especially near this garbage heap, there were fixed sentry posts with close spacing, and there was no possibility of sneaking into the city at all, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the first month, a cold light rain drifted by, Wu Qing slowly breathed in, tried his best to avoid the ubiquitous stench around him, and tried to shrink his body, and was about to squint and wait for darkness before acting, but found a sound of horses' hooves outside, and immediately opened a small hole reserved to look out.

Something isn't quite right! Wu Qing was suddenly full of doubts.

I saw dozens of cavalry of the Zhou army galloping to the city gate, and they were all within the range of bows and arrows on the city, and a row of soldiers with bows appeared on the city at this time, aiming their arrows at the bottom but not shooting, and those Zhou cavalry did not pay attention to the sharp arrows on the city at all, and all the arrows were aimed at the city gate.

With a "squeak", the south gate opened!

Wu Qing almost jumped up in surprise, this, what does this mean?

However, Wu Qing's feelings changed from surprise to relief, because a small cart full of garbage had already appeared at the city gate. It is clear that the two sides above and below the city have reached some kind of tacit understanding, which should be the reason for the formation of this garbage mountain.

Soon, Wu Qing began to be curious again. Because a black and thin old man at the head of the convoy commanded the men and horses to dump the garbage into a large pile, he turned around and laughed and scolded the cavalry who came with him, although the old man was very thin, but his voice was extremely loud, and the conversation all came to Wu Qing's ears - "Marquis Zhao, I said, you have lost this battle!" Just come and follow us, Lord Lin! ”

"How many times have I told you, you old man! I'm just the Marquis of Duyu, not the Marquis! The cavalry led by him was so angry that the whip hit him in the air, and roared angrily, "Old guy surnamed Deng, stare at your dog's eyes, our hundreds of thousands of troops are surrounding your Shouzhou, even if we don't fight, sooner or later your food will run out, and then see how you still defend it, see if you are still hard-mouthed!" Further south, our three-country alliance forces have nearly a million combined forces to attack your small Tang Kingdom, and your home and country are almost over! ”

"Blow! Just keep blowing! Deng Laohan snorted, and his voice became louder, "Who wouldn't brag?!" Or a million-strong army? According to what you say, our Shouzhou City has now collected at least two or three hundred thousand of you! We can defeat all three of you in Shouzhou alone! ”

"Phew!" Du Yuhou, surnamed Zhao, spat viciously, turned around and led the horse away, determined not to pay attention to this smelly and hard old man Deng again.

"Hey, seriously! For the sake of your good people, if you come to me at that time, I will ask Lord Lin for intercession, maybe I can really spare your life! Deng Laohan shouted loudly. Hearing this, Zhao Duyu Hou slammed the leather whip twice and drove the horse away. The other cavalrymen also retreated with their horses in disgust.

Deng Laohan laughed loudly, turned around and walked towards the garbage heap.

From the time he saw Deng Laohan, Wu Qing touched a thin piece of wood from his hand, marked the words "00308 Wu Qing" on the piece of wood with his fingers, and slowly held it up in front of him.

When Deng Laohan approached the garbage heap and was about to turn, Wu Qing ejected the wood chips vigorously, and the wood chips rolled twice in the air and hit the corners of Deng Laohan's clothes.

Deng Laohan was stunned for a moment, immediately squatted down, took off the shoes on his feet, knocked them, put them on again, picked up the piece of wood and held it in the palm of his hand, got up and shouted: "You! And you! Don't mess around, fall in order! ”

Soon, all the garbage trucks out of the city were emptied, and those Zhou cavalry rushed over, checked the number of people out of the city, checked every car, and found that there was nothing abnormal, before waving and letting them go.

With a "squeak", the gates closed again. The cavalry withdrew, and so did the archers at the head of the city.

Wu Qing leaned over to the orifice and tried to take a few breaths of fresh air, shrunk his face, covered the small hole, slowly adjusted his body, and squinted to rest.

The years in the cave are long, and the universe in the cave is big. Wu Qing sometimes rested, and sometimes reviewed the virtual sand table deduction taught by Lin Feng, and simulated the situation of the war in the world, the more he thought about it, the more interesting he became, the more he thought about it, the more he devoted, and in the end, he completely forgot the fact that he was surrounded by enemy troops.

At the tenth day of November, the south gate of Shouzhou opened on time again, and Deng Laohan took the lead, pushing a large board car with high wooden compartments on all sides, and laughed with Zhou Jun who was watching, while walking straight towards the place where Wu Qing was.

When they were about to reach the garbage heap, the two cars that followed Deng Laohan crooked and collided together, and the two drivers fell together.

"You two bastards, you can't even push a cart! Why are you so uncompetitive! Deng Laohan blew his beard and glared and scolded, lifted the cart in his hand violently, turned around and walked towards the car that was overturned.

The small amount of waste firewood, wood and other garbage in the board car quickly popped out, and the car body stood up, just aimed at Wu Qing's location.

Wu Qing, who had been prepared for a long time, gently lifted the camouflage in front of him, quickly retracted into the car body, and gently tapped his fingers on the bottom panel a few times, feeling that the overall sound on the left side of the car was empty, and immediately groped around the left side, and soon found a protruding dial pin, and with a slight pull, half of the van suddenly collapsed downward.

Wu Qing moved slightly, stood in the compartment, and propped his hand outward, lifting the compartment back to its original position.

Soon, Deng Laohan scolded and went around in circles, slowly pulled the car down, turned around and led the team towards the city gate.

Two Zhou soldiers rushed over, stopped Deng Laohan, and asked loudly: "Old man Deng, why did you change the car today?" ”

Wu Qing immediately held his breath.

Deng Laohan glared at him, and replied rhetorically: "It's not because you annoying ghosts don't go away, we can only stay in the city and find something to do, there is naturally more and more garbage, how can we do it without changing the big car?!" ”

The two soldiers sneered and stabbed their spears at the bottom of the carriage. Wu Qing had already pressed his body tightly behind the carriage board, and after the sound of the muffled spear piercing the wooden board three or four times, the car continued to move forward.

Wu Qing felt that the car had turned a corner, and after going a short distance, there was a dull sound of the door closing and closing the gate from behind, and found that the car had stopped and stood up again.

"Brother Wu, come out!" A longed-for voice came from outside the car.

Wu Qing was excited, immediately pushed open the compartment, looked out, and found that in front of him was Lin Feng, who he had been worried about.

"General Lin, Wu Qing reports to you! General, you're thin and dark, but you're still in good spirits! Wu Qing beat his chest excitedly and said with a little choked up.

Lin Feng laughed, returned the salute with his right hand, and pulled Wu Qing out with his left hand, hugging him tightly.

Wu Qing's mood was agitated, and he used all his strength to hug Lin Feng back, and immediately found that Lin Feng's face was a little distorted, and he took a tight breath, and immediately panicked: "Lord Lin, you, are you injured?" Where is it? ”

Lin Feng shook his head with a smile, pointed to the bulging bag in his ribs and said, "No!" It's just an old injury from before, and it's a bit heavy during this time. Don't talk about this, come, let's have a good chat! ”

Only then did Wu Qing notice that they were in a small secluded courtyard, and only Feng Jingyun was by their side in the courtyard.

Lin Feng first introduced the process of attacking and defending in the early stage of Shouzhou, and the tense and exciting battle made Wu Qing's blood flow tremble, and he clenched his fists and sighed: "Wu Qing hates to accompany Lord Lin to fight side by side on the battlefield and fight against the enemy!" ”

"You are also fighting in Chuzhou, we are already fighting side by side!" Lin Feng replied and opened his mouth to ask about the war in Chuzhou.

Wu Qing quickly told the battle of losing Qingliu Pass, Chuzhou attack and defense, and Zhao Kuangyin's deception, and was really annoyed that the Chuzhou army did not seize the opportunity of the enemy's empty army to recapture Qingliu Pass, thus turning the tide of the war.

Lin Feng, who had been listening quietly, did not change his face, but instead comforted him: "Brother Wu, the shape of the battlefield changes in an instant, and I can't expect everything to go smoothly. The time is gone, let's create a new and better time to come out! Also, I think you did the right thing by improvising at the Clear Stream Pass! I will definitely intercede for you in front of King Qi for the matter of false holy decrees! ”

Wu Qing bowed gratefully and thanked him, and finally mentioned the idea that he would be ready to build a mobile force to support Shouzhou at any time after he went back, Lin Feng immediately pointed his finger and sighed: "Brother Wu, you are already the first reinforcement of our Shouzhou, I didn't expect you to bring us the first reinforcement!" Thank you, Brother Wu! ”
