Digging Tu supported one hand on the military tent, one hand on the waist, dark face and deep eyes made people feel a little panicked when they looked at it, Dig Tu has always talked little in the army, rarely communicated with people, mostly bowed his head, locked his eyebrows, and looked contemplative, occasionally said a sentence or two, no head and no brain, everyone couldn't understand.

"Withdraw!" Di Tu nodded and smashed his hand on the military tent, "Now clean up immediately, and while Beidi's men and horses haven't discovered us yet, hurry up and retreat!" ”

"But the army ......," the soldier asked, pointing to the red light in the distance.

"Can you save them?" After saying this, he had already begun to clean up the scattered things in this military tent, and he didn't forget to order, "Pick up the important ones and leave the rest alone!" The less things we can bring, the better, and we need to get back to the city as soon as possible! ”

"How do you know if you can save it if you don't save it?" The soldier retorted with angry eyes.

"You are so rash to save, don't say that you can't be saved, you will die!" He only brought some water and pain-relieving herbs, and strode out of the military tent, "We will go back now and report to the king, at this moment the reinforcements are coming, maybe the people in the city still have a chance to live!" ”

"All the people in the city were burned to death!" The soldier said as he hurriedly cleaned up.

"No, it won't!" Digging Tu said, shaking his head to himself, "Definitely not!" After he had finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and waited for the rest of the men to pack their bags, and then set off at once to return to the capital as fast as he could. Now the soldiers and horses of the Jin State have not yet arrived, which is called digging tu itself and no longer has any hope for the Jin country, if it can come, it will come to the reinforcements a long time ago, although in front of the hall that day, although I did not see Jin Bo and Zheng Qizhi, Chu Hou sang and harmonized, but the digging tu also guessed, the only plan at the moment is to arrive in the capital as soon as possible and report to Ji Gongyan.

If Zheng Qizhi is not enabled, it is impossible! This great revenge must be avenged, in order to dig out the understanding of the current situation, if the king sends troops at this moment, then, if Beidi is not expelled hundreds of miles further north, this matter will not be over! Digging up to the sky and sighing, he could only pray silently in his heart, and he could only hope that Wen Shuo could think of a way to prevent himself from being burned to death!

Wen Shuo heard the sound of rustling outside the city, and woke up suddenly, always feeling that the sound was not quite right, he immediately turned over and ran towards the outside of the house, and rushed to the wilderness only to hear the sound outside the city was the sound of "crackling" when burning firewood, his hand slightly knocked on his body, and after being stunned for a moment, he ran up to the city tower only to find that Yuanyang City had been surrounded by a sea of fire. His heart was already in his heart, seeing that the fire had spread to the city tower under his feet, Wen Shuo, who was terrified in his heart, quickly returned to the garrison, intending to wake up the soldiers one by one from their slumber.

"Doctor Bao?" Wen Shuo went to Bao Hongde's military tent first, as soon as he pushed the door in, Bao Hongde immediately got up from the bed, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and heard Wen Shuo's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back into the scabbard, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Is it General Wen?" Why don't you knock on the door and break in? There was a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Beidi's military horses have set fire to the city!" Wen Shuo said, this sentence completely pulled Bao Hongde out of his sleep, and asked in his heart, "What?" ”

"They set the city on fire!" Wen Shuo said again, "All the soldiers must be woken up at once!" ”

"And then?" Bao Hongde only felt that his legs were soft and sat on the bed, if Beidi set fire to the city, then everyone had to die together, no one could escape, that is, the people who escaped Beidi blocked outside the city, and waited for work, their fate was the same death, he never felt that he was so close to death, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and there was no way.

"Then pile up everything in the city that can be burned at the gates!" Wen Shuo said.

"Ignition*?" Bao Hongde asked.

"Burn everything that can be burned, so that the fire will not spread to the city, so that we will not be burned to death......," Wen Shuo said, full of sadness, the rest waited for the fire that did not know when it would recede and the rescue outside the city, he pinned his hopes on digging to bring reinforcements, and what he could do was to try to extend the time for the soldiers in the city to live indefinitely.

Bao Hongde also fell into a state of infatuation, was called by Wen Shuo, only to respond in a trance, and quickly got up from the bed and walked outside the house, he also knew that his own decision caused this trouble, if it wasn't for his own quick success, I was afraid that Beidi would not be like this, so acting would be equivalent to shouting with the entire Great Zhou.

Beidi himself forgot about this heavy thought, and just waited for the good news that the dog Rong could bring back from the invasion of the Qin State.

After Baili Cheng arrived in the capital, after paying homage to Ji Gongyan, he went to the East Palace to attend the banquet, Bao Xi set up the banquet in the East Palace, and invited all the Shangqing scholars to go to the banquet together, Qin Hou and Bofu are naturally also in the banquet, Bofu a three-year-old child sits at the head of the hundred officials, this face is also quite funny, this blink of an eye, as soon as the time passes by, it will soon pass the warm and moist days of spring, and rush to the day of the lotus pond at the beginning of the lotus bag.

This spring day was different from previous years, so difficult that everyone felt that the depression of that winter was aimless and had no end in sight. Even when summer arrives, the warm breeze is warm, and it also makes people feel cold. The breakthrough of Wenshuo's army is good news, but everyone knows that this battle will not be so easy.

This feast Ji Gong has an order, the harem does not mention official business, everyone just listens to the performance of the dancing girls and musicians under the command of the apprentices of the sacrifice company, and then congratulates each other to Qin Hou and General Baili, the two of them return the wine one by one, and get acquainted with the courtiers who are now in power in this palace, and when the banquet disperses, the courtiers retreat, but only Baili Cheng and Qin Hou are left, Baili Cheng knelt down and said to Ji Gongyan, "The last general Baili Cheng is grateful for the great grace of the king!" ”

"The Qin country is uncertain, how can a widow rule the world?" Ji Gongyan sat on the hall and asked, stood up and straightened his clothes, "I wanted to stay with the general for a while longer, but I'm afraid I can't do it now!" ”

"But what happened?" Bai Licheng asked.

"The widow got the news, the dog is attacking!" Ji Gongyan said, these words made Baili Cheng surprised, even if the dead soldier stationed in Qinling that day was capable, it was good that there were hundreds of Qin soldiers behind him, but now things are very different, at this time, most of the soldiers and horses of the Qin State were taken away by Bao Hongde, I am afraid that it is the dog Rong attacking, and I can't resist it with all my strength, Bai Licheng's face changed slightly, and he pleaded, "King Qiyu, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Qin State can't resist the dog Rong attack!" ”

"The widow has his own way!" Ji Gongyan smiled slightly, "General Baili doesn't have to worry, even if you mobilize your troops and horses to go to the Qin State to resist the dog Rong with all your might, the widow will be defeated by the dog Rong for ten years, and he will not dare to attack my Great Zhou!" ”

"Yes, the last general commands!" Bai Licheng said.

"This victory or defeat is destined for your foothold in the court, General Baili must go all out!" Ji Gongyan admonished, Bai Licheng clasped his hands into fists and said, "The last general understands, but there is one thing I don't know!" ”

"What?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"The king and the mother once ordered the minister Lu Zhang to be reused, but they didn't know that this Lu Zhang was a trustworthy person?" Bai Licheng asked, Ji Gongyan pondered for a moment, "If Qin Hou is reused, this person is a trustworthy person in this matter, if he is not reused, the good bird will choose the tree to perch!" ”

"The Admiral understands!" Bai Licheng replied, and retreated from the East Palace worriedly, not only did this make Bai Licheng feel frightened, but Bao Xi also asked with a little worry, "Dog Rong is still calling?" ”

"Yes!" Ji Gongyan nodded, let out a long sigh, and patted the hand that was holding his arm.

"How many?" Bao Xi asked.

"At least a hundred times!" Ji Gongyan said, frowning.

"A hundred times?" Bao Xi repeated, one hundred times is ten thousand people, this is not a small number, there are only hundreds of dead soldiers in Qinling, no one wants to be stationed in the mountains for a long time, these hundreds of people have the ability to kill tens of thousands of people on their own, I am afraid that it is a bit fantastical, Bao Xi asked, "What is the king going to do?" Adjust Zhou's troops? ”

"No way!" Ji Gongyan shook his head, "This time Wenshuo went out of the army, and almost all of the troops of the Great Zhou were taken away. ”

This incident made Bao Xi slightly shocked, "Why is Da Zhou's army so weak?" ”

"Since the widow ascended the throne, he has never expanded the army...... Ji Gongyan sighed long, looked at Bao Xi and smiled self-deprecatingly, turned back to his table and sat on the ground, picked up the wine jug on the table and poured it into his ding, drank all the wine in the ding, and slapped his hand on the table, Bao Xi sat beside him and suddenly felt that she couldn't help him with anything, but he could only pour wine for him, and listen to him spit out the bitterness in his heart.

"Why is the king like this?" Bao Xi asked softly.

"Since King Li, the princes have gradually strengthened, and when the first king is alive, although it has been curbed, it has not eased at all!" Ji Gongyan said slowly, "The first king almost can't even do this son of heaven, do you know?" ”

Bao Xi nodded, everyone knows this history, when King Zhou Xuan was alive, he was forced by the princes to the minister's house, and the minister replaced King Zhou Xuan with his own child, and killed his own child. The succession of King Zhou Xuan has gone through more than ten years of hardship, and the princes have taken turns to govern during these ten years, perhaps because they can't talk about the conditions, or maybe everyone has their own ambitions, in short, after more than ten years, King Zhou Xuan has gone through some twists and turns, and finally ascended to the throne.

And in the era of Ji Gongyan, his ambition is no longer like his father, just be this dispensable monarch, what he wants is a veritable world, so the first thing after taking the throne is to forbearance and pretend to be mediocre. The world can tolerate an inactive monarch in the center, but the princes cannot tolerate an ambitious person sitting in that position.

Ji Gongyan's mediocrity and absurdity have retained his greatest strength very well, but this has also become his biggest bottleneck today.
