Chapter 038: Heroes Out of Youth

Pan Furong and the second sister Man's boat also jolted violently a few times, but fortunately, the technology was good, and the boat did not capsize, so they rushed to save people.

Yu Mengyu fell into the water, swallowed a few mouthfuls of water early, delirious, and felt that he was in a garden, with a hundred flowers blooming, a strong fragrance of flowers, pleasing to the eye.

was looking left and right, and a fairy sister floated in front of her and said, "My sister is late." ”

Mengyu was about to answer, when suddenly, two people jumped out of the flowers, one with a delicate face and a well-proportioned body, and the other mixed with muscles.

Before they could see clearly, the two men transformed into two monsters, one like a small dragon and the other like a tiger, with colorful patterns on their bodies and tails longer than their bodies. Suddenly, the two monsters laughed wildly, and a great stream of water rose from the ground, sweeping them away, and the flowers drifted with them.

Fortunately, the two Pan's sisters have excellent water quality, except that they can't breathe in the water, they swim like two mermaids, and they have each lifted their dreams and pear blossoms out of the water. Other people in the distance on the lake heard someone overboard and rushed to rescue them.

Rescued to the shore, first aid was immediately administered, and the two unconscious girls each spat out a mouthful of water and came back to life. Seeing that the person who fell into the water did not have to worry about his life, everyone felt a little relieved. Pan Furong stiffened and scolded her two younger sisters angrily.

Mrs. Ba Yongqiu rushed to the lake when she heard the news, and saw that although Mengyu and Pear Blossom were as white as snow, they were fine, and said with a smile: "At your age, I have already eaten water several times and can swim across the river." ”

"I just had a dream. ”

Madame said, "What kind of dream?"

"I don't remember at all. ”

Madame laughed: "You have swallowed water, and you are in a trance." Not next time. ”

Mengyu exclaimed, "Is there a next time?"

Seeing that the lady did not blame too much, everyone relieved their hearts.

Since then, he has been extremely afraid of water, and when he goes into the water, his vest is cold, his chest is tight, and he sweats profusely.

Three days later, Mrs. Yu and her entourage left Sanmiao Village and returned to the grassland. In Sanmiao Village, Zheng Lihua suffered a big loss, but they formed a deep friendship with the three sisters of Pan's family, and they had to live in Sanmiao Village every year, often more than once.

The girl's gossip is not recounted. Enter the last years of King Lie of Zhou (369 BC).

In this year, King Zhou Lie died.

The lord of Pakistan said happily: "The Son of Heaven has changed, and the world is going to change greatly." Last year, the king of Chu Su, it is expected that he is childless, his younger brother Liangfu succeeded to the throne, and the new Chu king just succeeded to the throne, the country is still a mess, at this time do not use troops to the Chu State, when will it be?"

Those who don't know the old things still think that he has long wanted the Son of Heaven to die.

Shangqing Zheng Zheng admonished: "Chu is a vast country, strong soldiers, known as ten thousand times, ranked among the seven great powers, today is not the same as the night, I am attacked on both sides, it is better to make peace with Chu, one can recuperate, and the other can make Shu less thoughts." ”

Qing Xiangshang said: "Shangqing's words are bad. In today's chaos, several big countries rudely swallow up small and weak, all of them want to expand their territory. Ba and Chu, just like Shu and Qin, Chu and Qin are all jackals, and the territory around them that is easy to annex has been swallowed into the belly, only in the area of Xiangba, Shu and Yelang, the two jackals are regarded as a piece of treasure ribs.

"If you want to make the Chu State stop attacking, it is estimated that it is more difficult than a lion not eating the meat around it. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to fight to survive!"

General Ba Qing said: "Don't say that the Chu people are unwilling to make peace, that is, he is willing to make peace, and I don't know how much blood he will pay." In that year, the king of Chu Zhuang enlisted our Ba division to attack Shen State, but on the way he was greatly humiliated by the Chu general Yan Ao, and our division rebelled angrily, occupied that place (southeast of present-day Jingmen County), and forced Jiangling. Yan Ao fled back to Yingdu from the gushing water and was killed by the king of Chu.

"That bastard incident was completely provoked by the rudeness of the people of Chu. The Chu people are strong and bullying, and their temperament is difficult to change. Today's Chu State is even more powerful than it was then, and when he made peace, he didn't put his ass on his feet to the sky? Fortunately, he didn't have a long tail. When the upper skin falls to the lower mouth, he will crush the person to death. Your Majesty, to make peace with Chu is to daydream! It is tantamount to seeking skin with wolves!"

The Ba Master said excitedly: "Unless, he returns the salt water and salt spring that originated from my White Tiger Clan, otherwise, it is better to break the jade than to destroy it!"

Qing Xiangshang offered a plan: "In recent years, Wei and Qi have fought several wars with Qin and Chu, and they can make heavy friendships with Wei, Han, Yue and other countries, and attack Chu on several sides. ”

Lord Ba nodded.

Pakistan sent envoys to Wei, Korea, and Vietnam.

At this time, the Marquis of Wei Wuhou was seriously ill and dying, and his sons Wei Xuan and Wei Fu were fighting openly and secretly to seize the throne; Han Zhao was preparing to attack Wei, and soon the "Battle of Xunze" took place, and in addition, he did not look down on the strength of Pakistan, and did not want to go to war with Chu for the time being, and refused to cooperate; Yue Guo listened to the judgment of the envoy of Pakistan that "Chu State will attack Yue State sooner or later" and agreed to send troops, but at this time it was in decline and had become a vassal state, although it attacked the eastern part of Chu State, the rain drops were heavy and the thunder was small.

In all the diplomatic relations of Pakistan, the most important thing is Shu, but it has never really been handled well, after the last face, if you unite Shu again to block Chu, it is a wise choice, but when the court is discussed, many people oppose it, most of them are worried that like last time, it is easy to send God to God, and the main force of Pakistan is overcrowded, and the prime minister is still an envoy to Shu.

When Xiang Shang arrived in Shu, the lord of Shu proposed to return the subordinate territory of Pakistan (now in Yibin, Sichuan) to Shu as a reward, and asked Pakistan to sever diplomatic relations with Yu first as a premise.

Xiang Shang returned to the Ba master, but the Ba master was as angry and uncomfortable as if he had been dug up the ancestral grave, and categorically refused. Under the persuasion of Xiang Shang, Pakistan still bribed Shu to avoid a fire in his back, and at the same time paid for secrecy.

Pakistan saw that diplomacy was useless, and Fang Xinguo was weak and undiplomatic, and his face was swept away, which only stimulated his fighting spirit even more and determined to attack Chu.

After full and secret preparations, the state of Pakistan launched a large-scale surprise attack on the state of Chu, trying to recover the salt water spring in one fell swoop.

The Ba lord personally recruited and collected tens of thousands of rattan armor soldiers.

The total number of Pakistani troops is unknown, and no evidence has been found. During the Warring States period, the number of armies of various countries varied greatly depending on the course of the war and the year of the war. During this period, the seven large countries had five or six hundred thousand in the majority, and one or two hundred thousand in the few.

At that time, the Chu army was about 700,000, and the number of Pakistani troops was not comparable to that of Chu, and even far lower than that of Korea, which was the least.

The Ba army will meet the Yangtze River, reverse Dan Fushui, turn Yu Shui, and enter Yishui, and the momentum is like a bamboo, defeating a strong force led by Qu Harrier, the lord of the Chu army Yicheng who went out of the city to face the battle, killing Qu Harrier, and besieging Yicheng.

This is not the first time that the two sides have fought for the city.

The deputy general of Chu asked the king of Chu for help on the one hand, and held on to the city on the other.
