Just as everyone was talking, the Yanggu army outside the city also moved slowly, and saw that two of the phalanxes suddenly moved, and the direction was the east of Hezhou City, that is, the east gate of Hezhou.

Squinting his eyes, Yao Ruoyu looked carefully a few times, and saw that Chu Hao, Chu Dian, and Chu Zheng were in charge of leading the army, so he said solemnly: "The Yanhu Battalion immediately went to the east gate to take over the garrison work, and the Thunder God Battalion stayed." ”

"Yes!" Fu Feng, Li Yilin, Jiang Siyu, Fu Chaozan, Ren Jiasheng, and the other two generals of the Yanhu Battalion, He Chaojun and Yu Xiangdong, all hugged their fists and agreed, and then turned around to lead the troops away.

"I'll go too. ”

But he didn't want to, at this moment, Song Kai suddenly spoke.

"Are you going too?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, but then he realized and smiled bitterly, "It's not appropriate to be jealous at this time, right?"

Facing Yao Ruoyu's dissuasion, Song Kai said lightly: "At the East Gate, there is no spirit master. ”

Yao Ruoyu thought for a few times when he heard this, and then said, "Okay, be careful." ”

"Hmm. He nodded his head in agreement, and then Song Kai followed Fu Feng and the others to leave quickly.

Seeing Fu Feng and others leading the army to leave, Yang Renjie, Wu Xue, Jia Hang, Luo Jiaxin, Chen Meng and others also quickly moved, moving the city-guarding equipment to the city one after another, pushing it to various pre-determined places, and at the same time, hot oil, horizontal wood, rolling stones and other things were constantly moved to the city.

Under Yang Renjie's arrangement, the 2,000 soldiers of the Thunder God Battalion quickly dispersed to various parts of the city, while the remaining 500 people remained under the city gate and dispersed to the defense facilities prepared in advance.

Just when Hezhou City entered the defensive state, a horse suddenly rushed out of the two phalanxes left by the Yanggu Army, and it was Chu Yuan.

This guy didn't have any fear that Hezhou City would attack him, so he rode directly to the head of the city, raised his head, and shouted: "Hey, Yao Ruoyu, my father called you out to speak!"

"The King of Chu is looking for me?" Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted, and said loudly, "The King of Chu invites you, how dare the juniors refuse?"

At the same time that Yao Ruoyu flew out of the city, a middle-aged man riding a red-gold war horse also walked out of the Yanggu army, who was the first person in the military in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and one of the few powerhouses of the Eight Realms in the world, [King of Chu] Chu Wild Song.

Yao Ruoyu knew very well that if Chu Madge wanted to kill himself, it would be useless even if he hid in Hezhou City, so this guy was also a bachelor enough, and he walked out of Hezhou City directly, and went straight to the wasteland outside the city that had been dug into ruins, and was only separated from Chu Madge by two ravines.

After Chu Crazy Song approached, Yao Ruoyu directly clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Yao has seen the King of Chu. ”

Glancing at Yao Ruoyu, Chu Yangge said lightly: "After a few months, the little nephew's demeanor is far better than in the past. ”

Knowing that Chu Yangge was satirizing himself for pretending to be low-key in Fuling and Chongqing, Yao Ruoyu smiled unconsciously: "The years are urging people, current affairs are not forgiving, and after more experience, there will naturally be changes." ”

With a casual smile, Chu Yangge silently glanced at the wasteland around him that was almost in ruins, and chuckled: "Interesting, such a whimsical idea is enough to reduce the strength of our army's iron cavalry by more than two percent. ”

In the face of the powerhouses of the Eight Realms, especially in a hostile situation, Yao Ruoyu's mind had already been forced to the limit by him, and he did not dare to have the slightest slackness and slackness, at the moment when Chu Madge finished speaking, his mind had already quickly deduced the meaning of the other party's words, and after a few breaths, he replied: "What the King of Chu said is very true, and this method is especially to restrain cavalry. ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu answer like this, Chu Yangge bowed his head lightly and said with a smile: "In the future, when you confront the Jin Kingdom, this thing will definitely have a great achievement." ”

Hearing Chu Mad's song saying that these barbed wire fences must have great merit, Yao Ruoyu's heart was slightly relieved, knowing that the other party implied that he also had great merit, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "I wish the king of Chu a victory, sweep Dajin in the future, defeat Jin Qi, and raise my Song Dynasty Tianwei!"

"'Promote my Song Dynasty Tianwei'?" The corners of his lips pulled slightly, and Chu Crazy Ge laughed, "You still think that I am a subject of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Of course!" Knowing the key, Yao Ruoyu bowed and said solemnly, "If I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, how could my little nephew let go of everything and make a desperate bet to dare to be the enemy of the King of Chu? ”

His eyes narrowed, and Chu Madge said coldly: "Do you know that what you are doing now can be called a great crime of treason!"

"I know!" nodded heavily, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice, "But after the death of the Yang City Lord, I finally turned the tide and defeated all the enemies who came to attack, so that the city would not be lost, the people would not be injured, and the national prestige would not be damaged, but we were framed and covered with stigma, we worked hard and contributed to the country, but we ended up like this, how can we not have an attack?"

Nodding, Chu Madge seemed to agree, but his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "This is not a reason to rebel!"

"Is this a rebellion?" Yao Ruoyu gritted his steel teeth and said solemnly, "We and Qin Cha met and had a grudge, but we were still entertained with good wine and food, but after the other party went back, they slandered us as traitors and thieves, and then there was a strong army to attack, and we had to fight in order to protect ourselves." ”

"Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, this is the road of humanity!" Staring at Yao Ruoyu, Chu Madge said in a deep voice, "As a courtier, it should be the king who wants the minister to die, and the courtier does not dare not die, how can he resist and retaliate?"

Yao Ruoyu was slightly silent when he heard this, and then suddenly asked: "Does the King of Chu believe in such Confucian remarks?"

Chu Yangge snorted coldly: "This kind of truth, King Yue believes in it very much. ”

Seeing that Chu Madge avoided the topic, Yao Ruoyu didn't realize that he was in his heart, he was able to cultivate to the Eight Realms, how firm his heart was, and how could he stick to the way of such a monarch and minister, Chu Madge seemed to call it the truth, but in fact, he deliberately moved out of King Yue and changed the topic.

When he was still in Chongqing, Yao Ruoyu consulted Chu Zheng about the situation of Hezhou City, and deliberately asked for a long time, deliberately giving Chu Yangge a hint, so as not to let the other party be too shocked when he plotted to seize Hezhou City in the future.

However, after all, it was just a hint, and he couldn't tell his mind completely, and at this moment, it was Yao Ruoyu's only chance!

Therefore, Yao Ruoyu didn't care about the ridicule in his heart, and asked directly: "Dare to ask the King of Chu, what do you think of Hezhou City when the Yang City Lord is here?"

"The green worm occupies the dragon's nest, and the sparrow occupies the phoenix's nest. With a cold smile, Chu Madge said straight.

He is a powerhouse of the Eight Realms, or the prince of the dynasty, Chu Yangge is naturally qualified to comment on Hezhou City ruled by Yang Yiming, in fact, this is also the military's view of Hezhou City here.

With a smile on his head, Yao Ruoyu continued: "If we are defeated, what will happen to Hezhou?"

Without waiting for Chu Yangge to answer, Yao Ruoyu said again: "But, if we occupy Hezhou, what will happen to Hezhou?"

His eyes suddenly opened, and Chu Yangge stared at Yao Ruoyu quietly for a few breaths, and it took a long time for his eyes to return to the same as before, but a huge wave had already been set off in his heart, because he was already keenly aware of the meaning of Yao Ruoyu's words.

When Chu Yangge looked at him intently, Yao Ruoyu only felt that his heart was stunned, and the blood in his whole body was close to stopping flowing, whether it was his heart and soul, or Zifu, they all stopped their activities under an indescribable terrifying momentum, until the other party withdrew his gaze, and the whole person regained control of his body.

(Eight Realms...... ）

sighed silently in his heart, Yao Ruoyu's face was Gujing Wubo, and he hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask the King of Chu to fulfill it." ”

After being silent for a long time, Chu Madge frowned and said, "Just by waiting, can just a few Three Realms complete this matter?"

"Can just a few Three Realms defeat the five sons of the Chu family who are famous all over the world?" Yao Ruoyu said with a smile.

"I ......"

Originally, he was not happy because he heard it in the clouds, but after hearing Yao Ruoyu's words, Chu Yuan immediately widened his eyes and wanted to scold, but Chu Xuan on one side quickly covered his mouth, which didn't let him scold.

Bowing slightly, Chu Yangge looked at Yao Ruoyu thoughtfully, and said indifferently: "Okay! If you can defeat Ziqiang's five brothers again today, I will persuade the emperor to let you and others occupy Hezhou, but you need to be a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty and a vassal city." ”

Seeing Chu Yange agree, Yao Ruoyu was suddenly ecstatic, but he was also steady, his face only showed a little joy, and he was not too public, and he hugged his fists again in his hand, and said solemnly: "Thank you King Chu!"

When Yao Ruoyu returned to the city, Yang Renjie, Chen Meng, Hou Jingru and others immediately surrounded him, nervously observing whether he was injured, and even more exaggerated was Chen Meng, who directly grabbed him and touched him, as if he wanted to touch him to see if he was injured internally.

Shaking off Chen Meng, Yao Ruoyu scolded angrily: "Master Meng, what are you doing? You think you are Jingru, and you are not studying medicine, what are you touching ......?"

"Isn't this afraid that you will be plotted?" Chen Meng scratched her hair and smiled innocently.

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Renjie suddenly smiled with a sly smile: "What, old demon, if Jingru touches you, you will let you touch it?"

Hou Jingru's face turned red when she heard this, and she slapped Yang Renjie with disgust, while the latter was full of smugness and couldn't stop laughing.

Originally, he habitually wanted to say a few words with a few words, but fortunately, Yao Ruoyu remembered that Xu Xuanrong was still by his side in time, and quickly turned pale and said solemnly: "There are many nonsense thieves, hurry up and prepare, the Yanggu army is about to attack the city!"

"Yes!" responded with a smile, Yang Renjie waved his arm, and quickly left with Chen Meng, Jia Hang and others to prepare for the defense of the city.

*——*——*——*

Just when Yang Renjie and the others were getting ready, Chu Zheng, Chu Hao, and Chu Dian had already arrived outside the east gate of Hezhou City with an army of 5,000 and began to set up camp and prepare for the siege of the city.

"When the camp is set up, you can start attacking the city!" Standing on the high platform that had been built, Chu Hao looked at the wall of Hezhou City, and said to Chu Dian and Chu Zheng on his side.

Chu Dian was naturally casual, and immediately nodded in agreement, but Chu Zheng frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Third brother, it's better to be careful." ”

"It's just a small city in Hezhou, what's there to be afraid of?" Chu Hao pursed his lips and chuckled.

Shaking his head, Chu Zheng pointed to the more than ten ravines outside the city, and the barbed wire fences and other things scattered above the ravines, and said in a deep voice: "Yao Ruo is foolish and cunning, these ravines can greatly slow down our attack, and things such as barbed wire can restrain the cavalry from attacking, and I see that the city head ballista and other things are complete, I am afraid that it will be damaged a lot before it reaches the city." ”

It is worthy of being a strategist-type talent cultivated by Chu Yangge himself, the barbed wire is a thing of the later generations, and it has never appeared in the world, but just at the first glance, Chu Zheng can distinguish the role of this thing.

Although Chu Hao had an arrogant temperament, he was extremely impressed by the strategy of his fifth brother, and when he heard this, he immediately glanced over, and after a while, he showed a sudden expression, frowning, and said, "Sure enough, he is treacherous and cunning!"

"What should I do?" Chu Dian asked with a frown.

Thinking slightly, Chu Zheng glanced at the head of the city and said solemnly: "Don't attack in a hurry, first arrange for the soldiers to dig the soil to fill the ravine, and remove the iron net and other things." ”

Chu Hao was immediately dissatisfied: "Wouldn't it be too much of a waste of time to say this?"

With a wry smile, Chu Zheng said helplessly: "Now there is only this method, but although these things block the attack of our army, they also restrict the enemy from going out of the city to harass, so you don't have to worry about the other party taking advantage of the situation to attack out of the city, you only need to guard against the city's head equipment." ”

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Chu Hao was still arrogant after all, and he didn't want to delay too much time on these things, so he shook his head and said: "No need, our side has the advantage in numbers, and the troops are strong, and the attack is strong!"

Chu Zheng heard the words and was about to persuade again, but Chu Hao had already turned around and walked away, to direct the soldiers to prepare for the siege, and he could only sigh helplessly.
