The ladders were all wooden structures, and Wang Baoyu ordered Fan Jinqiang to pour oil on the ladder immediately, and then throw torches.

Fan Jinqiang had the order to pour the oil drums that had been prepared from top to bottom, not only soaking the ladder, but also splashing oil splashes on many Jiangdong soldiers.

Fan Jinqiang personally raised the torch and threw it over, and the ladder immediately burned, emitting thick black smoke, and at the same time, many Jiangdong soldiers who were attacking were also burned, and they all screamed and took the initiative to jump into the moat, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The arrows and feathers came down one after another, only half a day, the moat was covered with the corpses of soldiers, and the Jiangdong army saw that it could not be attacked, and finally sounded the gong and sounded the gong to withdraw the troops.

Finally repelled the attack of the Jiangdong army, the guards of Jiangxia City were deeply encouraged and their morale was high, but Wang Baoyu was not happy, on the one hand, this side was not without losses, because of the stray arrows below, there were nearly two hundred casualties on this side; On the other hand, Wang Baoyu believes that his trick of burning the ladder will not work every time, and Jiangdong will replace the ladder with iron.

The merchants in the city brought wine and food, rewarding the warriors who protected the city, Wang Baoyu was not in the mood to eat, returned to the mansion alone, closed the door and continued to think about the best way to retreat from the enemy, originally he came to watch, but now he couldn't help himself, and was completely involved in the war.

Lao Tzu is not a person from the Three Kingdoms period, there is no need to risk his life for that side, he really can't run away, Wang Baoyu thought to himself depressedly, but then thought that if he escaped, Guan Ting would inevitably insist on staying, with her military talent and martial arts, it was also a material to die, not to mention that there were so many people in the city who had high hopes for the soldiers defending the city.

There is a way, there is no endless road, just when Wang Baoyu was worried about how to get out, Jiao Xiaoyi, who was sent by Guan Ting to guard, ran in and said, "Military advisor, there is an old man who asks to see." ”

"What old man and young man, don't you see that I'm annoyed, I don't see!" Wang Baoyu waved his hand and said, thinking that it was a wealthy businessman in Jiangxia City who came to pull a relationship.

"He said that if you don't see it, you will regret it." Jiao Xiaoyi truthfully conveyed the old man's words.

Hearing Jiao Xiaoyi say this, Wang Baoyu faintly felt that this person might be useful, and it didn't hurt to see him, maybe he could find some ideas, so he nodded and said, "Then let him come in and visit this military division!" ”

Jiao Xiaoyi listened to the order to go out, and then, an old man came in with steady steps, Wang Baoyu saw this person's appearance, but was slightly stunned, nothing else, this person is really worthy of the title of the old man, it is too old, Xie Ding, only two temples and some gray hair, the corners of the eyes are drooping, the eyebrows are hanging on the face, the skin is furrowed, and the mouth is like a deflated ball, as if he can be a hundred years old.

As the saying goes, humanity is rare in seventy years, and it is said that it is in this era, it is obviously not easy to live for such an old age, Wang Baoyu immediately got up politely and complimented: "Old fairy, what are you looking for me?" ”

When the old man heard Wang Baoyu call him so, he grinned with satisfaction, and there was still a yellow and black tooth left in his deflated mouth, but it was also crumbling, and he might be completely laid off one day.

"Hehe, you're even good at talking." The old man sat down without seeing it.

is still a self-cooked, Wang Baoyu has always respected the old and loves the young, but he was not angry, and called someone to send fragrant tea, and then asked: "Old immortal, may I ask the name of Gao?" ”

"Yu Ji!" The old man said.

What! Could it be that this person is the Yu Ji who was killed by Sun Ce? Wang Baoyu's face was shocked, Yu Ji seemed to see through Wang Baoyu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I am the one who is rumored to have been killed by Sun Ce. ”

"Master Yu, congratulations on your life." Wang Baoyu hurriedly accompanied the smile and gave gifts, this is a big man, it is said that he knows the law well, and he will also know immortal arts, and he has been in Jiangdong to eliminate evil spirits and cure diseases, and later said that he wanted to assassinate Sun Ce, but was killed by Sun Ce, and now it seems that the real history will not be completely mastered by future generations, and there are too many variables.

"Don't be surprised why I'm still alive." Yu Jidao.

"Naturally, I don't dare to inquire at will." Wang Baoyu said respectfully.

"You know the rules." Yu Ji casually complimented, but he didn't expect his face to change again after a while, and asked, "Why don't you want to know the reason why I am alive?" ”

Wang Baoyu was stunned for a moment, he was really an old child who was in love, and said with a wry smile: "You didn't let you ask!" ”

"Oh, don't mention it, you don't have to ask more." Yu Ji chattered, and finally got to the point: "I came here this time to help you leave Jiangxia." ”

"Thank you, Master, but how did you get into the city?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.

"I'm always in the city."

"Then you can just pinch and calculate, calculate that I have a disaster this time?"

"This method of reckoning, in my opinion, is just a sideline." Yu Ji said arrogantly.

"Hehe, then you can use the method of sprinkling beans into soldiers to help me force back the Jiangdong army!" Wang Baoyu said with a self-righteous smile.

Yu Ji was so crying and laughing by Wang Baoyu that he glanced at him, a pair of small eyes were shining, and he was very energetic.

I saw Yu Ji take out a crumpled letter from his arms, hand it over and say: "This is your letter from Hengshu and Gan Ning, you send someone to send it to Gan Ning, and the enemy army retreats." ”

Wang Baoyu thanked him repeatedly, took it respectfully with both hands, and asked with a little surprise: "Do you know Youheng?" ”

Yu Ji nodded and sighed: "I am almost angry with him every time, but I often have stomach pain, and I am afraid that I will lose my life." ”

"When did you leave this letter? Could it be that many years ago, You Heng predicted that I would be in calamity this time? Wang Baoyu asked, thinking that this was the letter You Heng left when Jiang Xia was following Huang Zu, if so, he really underestimated You Heng.

"How can You Heng have this kind of ability, I can't hide it, it was sent to me by Zuo Yuanfang's old Daoist, and You Heng is elsewhere." Yu Ji felt that it was really difficult to talk to Wang Baoyu, so he said bluntly.

"Hehe, I understand when I say that, how is You Heng doing now?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"Singing and dancing all day long, uninhibited."

"Zuo Ci and I are old friends, should he have calculated that I am in trouble this time?" Wang Baoyu asked again.

"As it should be!" Yu Ji nodded, took a sip of fragrant tea, and got up to leave.

Wang Baoyu walked a few steps quickly, grabbed Yu Ji's sleeve, and said with a smile: "What are the old immortals in a hurry to go, sit down for a while!" ”

"What's your idea?"

"Hehe, that, teach me some skills, and save me from being bullied all the time!" Wang Baoyu didn't want to give up the opportunity, so he said bluntly.

Yu Ji ignored Wang Baoyu at all, continued to walk out, and when he arrived at the door, he turned his head and threw down a sentence, so angry that Wang Baoyu almost raised his shell.

"Since you are a disciple of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, where can you use the old Dao professor!"

Wang Baoyu was startled, got up and chased out. While chasing, he shouted: "Hey, how do you know?" ”
