The black dots on the sand dunes were moving intensively, two miles, five hundred meters, three hundred meters------ only then could I see that the front was under the banner of "Song", and there were hundreds of military vehicles and more than 1,000 horses. The sound of horses' hooves grew faintly and distinctly, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of dust.

I don't know who gave the order, and a hundred arrows were fired at the old camp of the Rong people, and in an instant, the place where the king's tent was located became a sea of fire. The horses of the Rong people scattered and fled in all directions because they were frightened, trampling on the heads and faces of those who had been knocked down by the Song military vehicles. The wounded cavalrymen screamed, swept into the greater chaos.

At this moment, Shicai's mysterious oil pouring team came out of nowhere, rushed into the camp and slashed and killed, their saddles hung with lit oil cans, and when they encountered tents, they threw them over, and when they encountered the soldiers who were huddled together, they also beckoned one to come over. Suddenly, the camp was full of flames and screams, and the seventy or eighty thousand Rong people united in collapse and destruction at this time.

Seeing that the rescuers were coming, his morale was high, Kui Duoyou pulled out the long sword at his waist, raised it above his head, and shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcements of the Song State have arrived!" Spread my command, break through the walls and go out of the city, kill all these thieves, and avenge the dead brothers—"

From dusk to night, from night to dawn, with his own bloody courage and unparalleled arm strength, and also relying on the desperate protection of more than 100 personal guards around him, the eldest prince Zhiyu finally fought his way out of the siege and escaped. After running all the way north for forty or fifty miles, he was relieved to see that there were no pursuers behind him.

This place is not far from the grassland, and it is the only way to return to the country of no end. The sky was shining, and there were constantly defeated soldiers gathering in this direction, and bad news was constantly coming.

In fact, as early as the moment he saw the Song military vehicle, Zhi Yu couldn't see the figure of Kui Nu beside him. At that time, his excuse was: "The eldest prince is brave and good at fighting, and he will resist the palace for a while." How about I go to the king's tent and rescue my father and queen? ”

At that time, the Song soldiers were menacing, although they were not at ease with Kui Nu, but the incident happened suddenly, and there was indeed no other choice. In order to let Kui Nu, a selfish guy, do his best, Zhi Yu also specially advised: "King Kui Rong, the previous unhappiness of this prince can not be bothered with you. As long as you can rescue my mother and father, you will sit on the throne in the future, and I swear to the Immortal Heaven that I will never fight with you! ”

Now that countless news has come, he can't help but believe it.

"Prince, the king was drunk last night, and he couldn't get out of the king's tent when the fire started, and he must have been buried in the fire." This is what the guard on duty before the king's tent said, and there must be nothing wrong with that.

Zhi Yu's heart tightened, although the father and son have not been harmonious for a long time, but after all, the blood is connected, how can it not hurt? But what made him more sad was yet to come.

At dusk, the women and children in the camp were released by the Song Wei coalition army one after another, and the news was more and more accurate. He recognized one of the maids in his mother's tent and hurried to inquire about his mother. Unexpectedly, when the woman mentioned the endless queen, she suddenly burst into tears, knelt on the ground and said hatefully: "Prince, the queen died unjustly, you must avenge her!" ”

Zhi Yu only felt that the world was spinning, and he barely held his mind and asked: "No, King Kui Rong promised that even if my father was unexpected, he would definitely save my mother!" ”

"Don't mention this thief, the boss is really a person who lures wolves into the house, and even his own father can kill him, how can he believe it?" The maid gritted her teeth and said, "Originally, I waited for the old people to escort the queen to board the car, and there are still dozens of steps to kill." Unexpectedly, the Kui slave who was killed that day came out of nowhere, snatched the car, and loaded his wife and child. After the great damage, he fell into the enemy line and was killed by stray arrows. I watched her take her last breath, woo-woo-woo------"

"Ahh

"Kui slave, you, a thief who killed me, caused me to lose my father and mother, and humiliate my teacher and country. I swear to the Immortal Heaven that I will cut off your dog's head in this life to sacrifice the spirits of my parents in the sky! ”

After the war, the city of Chaoge was a tragic scene for the rest of his life. Especially inside and outside the city walls, blood was spilled and there were broken corpses everywhere. Although this battle ended in a great victory for the Song Wei coalition army, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this victory was a disastrous victory and nothing to praise.

Fortunately, the situation in Chaoge City is especially good, the grain and grass have not been exhausted, and the loss of housing and population is not large. Not to mention the location of the Wei Palace, which was not affected by the war, and the palaces and roofs were all intact.

Mrs. Qi sat in the chief seat in the main hall of the dormitory, looking down at the person standing at the bottom of the hall, looking up and down repeatedly. This person has a curly crown, a green ribbon around his waist, and a hooked foot, and is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, but his complexion is dark and his appearance is thin. The two knife-like nasolabial folds on the face are deep and long, stretching obliquely to the corners of the mouth, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

"I am grateful to Song Gong for his righteousness, to resist Rong Di together, and to save my patriotic society Jizong Temple from fire and water. The concubine was not very grateful. Mrs. Qi has repeatedly expressed her gratitude.

Unexpectedly, the person who came did not appreciate it, and opened his mouth very indifferently: "Madame does not need to be polite, there is still one most important matter that needs to be handled urgently." ”

"What?"

"Please order that all the trees and dwellings in the city that have been eaten by locusts be gathered together and burned, so that no one is missed."

"Oh?" Madame Qi responded puzzled, and cast an inquiring glance at Gongsun Yu on the side, who understood, Shi Li explained: "Madam, Lord Rongyi is the first strategist beside Song Gong, and he has always been far-sighted and full of tricks. There had been locust swarms before, and he knew about it. ”

"Could it be ------," Mrs. Qi said in a panic, "those flying locusts are controlled by adults?" ”

Rong Yi didn't make a sound, but Gongsun Yu replied with a smile: "Exactly." Lord Rongyi is not only good at scheming, but also has special abilities, and can control birds, beasts, insects and snakes to attack the enemy, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. ”

Mrs. Qi was amazed: "How can this ------ be done?" Sir might as well give a few points or two, so that I, who have lived in the palace for a long time, can have a long insight. ”

"It's not difficult." Rong Yi said indifferently: "Locusts are social insects, and all such creatures have leaders, so they only need to control and train their leaders, and they can control the entire population." It's just that this method has its limitations, and it takes at least two or three generations of locust swarms to succeed. These locusts have been raised for two or three years, and this can come in handy. It's just that the locust swarm will leave insect eggs wherever it passes, and when the time is right in the coming year, the eggs will hatch, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest near Chaoge. The trees that have been bitten by the locusts must be burned by the roots to ensure that they are safe. ”

Mrs. Yi listened attentively, until Rong Yi finished speaking, she just stared at him thoughtfully------ Gongsun Yu saw this, coughed lightly, and she came to her senses: "What Mr. said is really unheard of in her life, rest assured, this matter will be handed over to Doctor Shi to deal with." In Chaoge City, as well as within dozens of miles outside the city, all the places where the locusts pass, as Mr. said, will burn all the places where the eggs may be attached, leaving no hidden danger. ”

"That's very good." Rong Yi gave another salute: "Madam, there is still one thing for the foreign minister, if Madame can adopt it, she can defend the northern border of the country for decades." ”

"Please sir." Mrs. Yi deliberately sat up and leaned forward to ask for advice, she was rarely so humble, Gongsun Yu couldn't help but glance at her.

Rong Yi said slowly: "When the battlefield is cleaned up, things will calm down a little." You can send a suitable person to contact the lord of the country, join forces to defeat the Kui Rong tribe, and then promise to open the border market trade, and the Xu Rong people exchange cattle, sheep and horses for corn and cloth in the territory. In this way, both sides will take what they need, and Rong Di will not need to enter the country to loot to obtain the necessary supplies in the future. ”

Gongsun Yu on the side also thought that this idea was good, but he still frowned and said: "It's good, but the country has just been defeated, and the old Wang and his wife are both lost under the Chaoge City, so is the eldest prince Zhiyuken?" Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Mr. released the women and children of the tent back to the grassland, instead of not being captured slaves, has it been arranged?" ”

"Gongsun is very clear about things, and it is true. The foreign ministers had already interrogated the captives, and learned that the king of Kui Rong had killed his father and seized the throne, and his people were cruel and greedy. And the eldest prince of the end is in general, and opposes the filial piety of his biological mother. The two had been at odds for a long time, and this time the slave panicked for his life, and actually seized the car of the endless queen, so that he died in the chaos. In this way, how can Zhi Yu inherit the throne and continue to maintain the alliance with the Kui Rong Ministry? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Mrs. Qi was amazed, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that Song Gong has such a strange person as Mr. to help, I really envy my mother and son!" ”

Rong Yi is a man of few words, and after saying what he wants to say, he has few words. No matter how much Mrs. Qi revealed in her words, she refused to take it anymore, so she was bored to sit down, so she got up and took her leave.

Looking at Mrs. Qi's reluctant eyes, Gongsun Yu felt a little uncomfortable, and asked softly, "Madame, is she trying to recruit him?" ”

Mrs. Qi came back to her senses and responded: "Yu, don't think too much. This time, my mother and son were able to get out of trouble, and you have indeed made great contributions. I heard that you traveled all over the Central Plains in the middle of the month and ran to death several horses, and my mother and son will never forget this kindness. ”

Gongsun Yu said: "Madame's kindness, Yu has no teeth to forget in this life, this is the duty of the minister, Mrs. must not say thank you." ”

"Okay, okay, don't make these false courtesies yourself." Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "You and Kui Duoyou, one article and one martial arts to assist He'er, what do I have to worry about?" It's just that if He'er wants to achieve great things as soon as possible, he must have a strategist to plan for him. I see that this Rong Yi is thinking far-sighted, strategizing with ease, and has the intention to solicit, but I don't know if it can be done? ”
