Chapter 368: Wilderness Girl
Xu Fu approached Tian Bule's side and said, "King, the participation of the Tamluo Kingdom may have something to do with King Ji." ”
"Kei-wang?"
Tian Bule didn't know much about the situation in the East China Sea, and asked, "Who is King Kei?"
Xu Fu replied: "In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, the king had no way. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty relict Jizi led 5,000 Shang Dynasty remnants to move east to Korea and established the Ji State. When King Wu of Zhou learned the news, he changed the name of the country of Ji to "Joseon" and sealed him there. The Tamna Kingdom is a vassal state under the control of King Kei, otherwise, with the strength of the Tamna Kingdom, how dare he touch Kyushu?"
After accepting the division of the Zhou Dynasty, Jizi once met King Wu of Zhou. King Wu asked Jizi for advice on human ethics, and Jizi made "Hong Fan" to tell King Wu the truth of fixing the country and securing the people. After the establishment of the state in Korea, Jizi once returned to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty to meet the king of Zhou. When passing through the homeland of Yin Shang and seeing the gorgeous palace in the past, now it has become a ruin, and the grass is overgrown, Jizi is very sad, so he wrote "The Poem of Mai Xiu" and said: Mai Xiu is gradually dying, and he is oily. When the remnants of the Shang Dynasty heard this poem, they were all very sad and could not help weeping bitterly.
Tian Bule nodded and praised: "Xu Fu, your analysis is very reasonable. But why did King Kei unite with the Wa Kingdom?"
Xu Fu further explained: "The minister has lived in the East China Sea for a long time and knows a little more about the situation in the East China Sea. This starts with the Yan Kingdom, during the reign of King Yan Zhao, the power of the Yan Kingdom reached its peak. Yan Yaqing Le Yi only took half a year to capture more than 70 cities in Qi one after another, all of which were turned into counties, leaving only the two cities of Ju and Jimo that were not captured. Yan's general Qin Kai attacked Donghu, forcing Donghu to retreat more than 1,000 miles from the northeast of Yan, and Yan's territory expanded northeast to Liaodong. The power of the Yan State became stronger and stronger, and the territory of the Ji State was constantly annexed by the Yan State, so it had to develop to the sea. ”
Tian Bule suddenly said: "It turns out that Ji Guo wants to leave a way back for himself. ”
It turns out that King Kei and himself are "people in the same way". He couldn't help but admire King Kei's foresight, in this era, the land of a country must not be easily abandoned, otherwise it would be a betrayal of the ancestors. However, this crime is nothing in Tian Bule's eyes, and being able to survive comfortably is the most important thing.
Peng Yue suggested: "Great King, the battle situation in Kyushu is unknown now, and if our fleet is rashly dispatched, it may be attacked by the enemy. We might as well send a small fleet of boats to sneak into the island and scout before deciding how to fight. ”
Tian Bule nodded and said, "You are right, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." If the enemy situation is unclear, you need to be cautious. We first found a hiding place near Kyushu Island, and then I sneaked into Kyushu Island with my people. ”
Peng Yue hurriedly said: "Great King, how can this be done? It is too dangerous to enter Kyushu Island through the blockade of the Japanese fleet. ”
Tian Bule said: "The fleet needs you to command, after you leave, who will control the fleet." Have you forgotten the diving ship we brought? With it, are you still afraid of the blockade of the enemy fleet?"
Peng Yue only said: "The king is really far-sighted. It's just that a dive boat can only carry three people, and we can send up to twelve people into the island!"
Tian Bule said with a smile: "You have forgotten that my own martial arts are no worse than yours, and I don't care about a few barbarian soldiers." ”
Peng Yue had no choice but to agree.
Two days later, the fleet found a hidden island in the sea near the island of Kyushu and hid the ship in it.
Sure enough, a fleet of about 200 ships was found on the outskirts of Kyushu Island, almost encircling Kyushu Island.
The island of Kyushu is shrouded in fog and looks very beautiful. Lush trees all the way to the tranquil coast. Some rare and exotic beasts that were not found in the Central Plains roamed leisurely on the coast, and the impact of the war could not be seen at all.
Tian Bule couldn't help but admire, this is indeed an ideal place to escape from the world. But even such a place will be affected by the flames of war, and where there are indeed people, there will be strife.
After nightfall, Tian Bule, Cangyue, Lianhua, Hua Jieyu and eight guards took a diving boat and prepared to sneak into Kyushu Island. Among the eight guards, there was also that Wu Da, because of the proof of his bravery, Wu Da insisted on coming with him. Tian Bule agreed to his request.
The outside of the dive boat is made of three layers of sealed cowhide, and a tube floats on the surface of the sea to communicate with the air outside. The dive boat is equipped with a gear for pedaling, and as the gear turns, the dive boat moves forward in the sea. Tian Bule carefully checked that there was no problem with the diving boat, and put three life rafts made of sheepskin bags in each bow diving boat before entering it.
Twelve people boarded the diving boat, and Tian Bule did not dare to dive too deep, otherwise at that time, once the boat leaked, it would become a problem to escape.
To his surprise, the journey was unexpectedly smooth, and they spent most of the night working hard to reach a coast on the island of Kyushu. The dive boat was towed out and hidden with branches and weeds.
The people rested for a while, and it was already dawn.
Cangyue spent a topographic map in the sand, and said to Tian Bule: "King, we are now in the southeast of Kyushu Island. It only takes half a day to walk through this mountain forest, and another twenty miles can enter the place under our control. ”
With Cangyue and Lianhua leading the way, everyone easily walked through the jungle on the coast and entered an area that had obviously passed through human activity. In addition to the mountainous areas of various heights on the island, you can see scattered paddy fields in the mountains from time to time, but the surrounding houses have long been deserted due to the impact of the war.
Cangyue explained: "The people nearby must have fled to the royal city for fear of being caught by the Japanese army. ”
Everyone couldn't help but get nervous, judging from the situation, the enemy army had invaded the island.
Fortunately, there were no enemy encounters along the way.
Just when everyone was relaxing, there was a sudden cry for help in front of them. Without hesitation, everyone rushed to the place where the cries for help came.
I saw five or six soldiers dressed as Japanese soldiers insulting a ragged girl.
Wu Da, who was rushing to the front, drew his weapon, roared, and rushed over first. As soon as the stragglers saw that Tian Bule and the others had been killed, they immediately left the girl and fled towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
After driving those people away, Tian Bule ordered the men not to continue the pursuit.
Cangyue walked up to the girl, took out a piece of clothing and draped it over her.
Tian Bule walked to the girl, only to find that the girl was very outstanding, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, a pair of innocent and pitiful eyes, and a large area of snow-white skin exposed by torn clothes.
Why would such a woman appear in the wilderness?
Tian Bule couldn't help but be suspicious.
