The carriage jolted, and a low groan of suppressed pain came from inside. After a moment, Duan Murong walked out: "My life is saved."
Gai Nie and Da Siming breathed a sigh of relief.
In this world, they each have their own gains in magic, magic, battle formations, and majesty. But without the Tianshu intelligence network, they have to do everything they need to do. Qingji seeks to restore his country, and his troops are extremely fast, so he almost fails to catch up.
If Gu Cheng hadn't asked the two women to come here together, the mission would have failed if they had just done it alone.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Jean Qingji saved his life.
However, the persona of the Wu Kingdom's number one warrior also collapsed.
Because he was seriously injured and dying, the whole army was in chaos and almost defeated. Fortunately, Gai Nie's superb swordsmanship and the Wu army, regardless of casualties, all cooperated with Gaoli to assassinate him. They were at the end of their strength and finally forced him back.
It was impossible to defeat the royal capital, so these tens of thousands of troops had no choice but to retreat.
This retreat gave King Helu of Wu the best excuse.
The people of Wu State, ordinary soldiers, no matter whether you were despicably assassinated or not, they only care about victory or defeat.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
After Qing Ji retreated, his aura of invincibility was gone. Even if he came back again, it would be impossible to defeat King Helu of Wu with real swords and spears.
Life and death.
"Thank you to the three martyrs for saving your life!"
After Gai Nie and Da Siming boarded the carriage, Qing Ji went to bow down.
In just a few days, his face turned gray, his cheeks became thin, and he looked completely different from the majestic warrior before.
Obviously, he also knew that he had suffered such a setback and that his hope of returning to the country was extremely slim.
However, even if he was disheartened and wanted to repay the kindness of saving his life, Qingji would never refuse if he asked for anything.
Without the action of Gai Nie and others, Qing Ji would have died. But when his subordinates wanted to kill Yaoli first, he stopped him when he was dying. He said that Yaoli was also a man, and only one good man would die today.
The last thing is to leave the guilt and commit suicide.
Such magnanimity is the highest pursuit of this era.
"Young master, there is no need to be like this. We are also entrusted by others to come to your rescue."
Gai Nie and Da Siming respected him as a human being and stepped aside to let him pass.
"Entrusted by whom?"
Qingji's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You will know when the time comes."
Da Siming pursed his lips, opened the curtain, and let Qing Ji see outside: "Now that Li Wu has 20,000 subordinates, Master, where are you going?"
"Twenty thousand..."
Qingji smiled miserably.
He launched an attack with 50,000 men and attacked the city one after another. When he reached the river, his number of troops increased instead of decreasing, reaching nearly 70,000.
But in just a few days, most of the soldiers had already escaped.
"Soldiers are more valuable than their elite."
Gai Nie said: "In the past, when the young master left to defend the country, he only had more than ten thousand soldiers around him. How does it compare with now?"
Qingji's eyes moved and his spirits perked up.
Yes, those who are still willing to stay at a critical moment of life and death can be said to never leave him and are truly loyal to him.
Being able to keep 20,000 yuan is quite a big deal!
Da Siming said: "Young master still has capital, so he may follow Chong'er's example and live in exile in various countries, quietly waiting for the opportunity..."
Chong'er is also known as Duke Wen of Jin. Many people only know that Duke Wen of Jin was one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, but they ignore that he wandered abroad for nearly twenty years and moved through eight vassal states. He did not return to his country until he was sixty-two years old and ascended the throne as king.
Of course, Qing Ji could also learn from Chong'er, but the state of Wu was no better than the state of Jin. The so-called opportunities were nothing more than words of comfort for those who were trying to survive.
"No! I will never run away. As long as Young Master Qingji lives in this world, he will fight against the traitor Ji Guang until death!"
However, Qingji's veins bulged in his hands, and his chest filled with anger. He put his fingers together, pointed to the way of heaven, and swore an oath word for word.
"Please help me!"
After taking the oath, Qingji saluted again.
He was not only asking for help from Gai Nie and Da Siming, but also from the forces behind them.
Qingji's strength alone could not compete with King Wu Helu in a head-on confrontation. If he wanted to take revenge, he could only seek help from the surrounding countries.
As for utilization, in this world, there is no pure utilization, only mutual borrowing.
"good!"
Gai Nie and Da Siming looked at each other and nodded in unison.
Next, Qingji's army began to change its route and headed towards the border of Chen State.
Half a month later, the color returned to Qingji's face. Under the leadership of Gai Nie and others, he walked into a hidden valley.
After walking for half an hour and passing through the formation, it suddenly became clear.
The first thing that catches the eye is the awnings everywhere, distributed in an orderly manner. Under the awnings, many blacksmiths are bare-chested, wielding sledgehammers, and are forging weapons. The furnaces are blazing and the wind is blowing, and they are busy forging.
This was enough to raise eyebrows, but what really made Qingji solemn was the training ground in the center.
"Change of formation!"
At this time, Han Qinhu stood tall and majestic like a god. The flags were swinging and the drums were beating. The whole army began to move forward and backward, with sword and shield hands moving forward and spearmen retreating.
"Chaos!"
The formation changed again. The swordsmen, spearmen, sword and shields formed a small team, forming a coordinated attack and defense. From a height, they looked like blossoming plum blossoms. The entire formation rolled forward as the command flag pointed.
"Charge and kill! Charge and kill!"
The war drums gave out orders, and tens of thousands of people roared in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth. If it had not been for the sound-isolating array, people within a hundred miles would have heard it.
Qingji came to the high viewing platform and could clearly see the changes in the formation, and couldn't help but look horrified.
In military training, the first thing is military discipline, orders and prohibitions, the second is experience in battle, the courage to fight the enemy, then the cooperation between the arms, and finally the level of personal skills.
We all understand the principles, but it is very difficult to achieve results through practice.
In fact, the training for the army in this era was extremely limited, and there were not many things that soldiers needed to master. If they could advance to the beat of drums, retreat with gold medals, and obey orders, they were qualified.
The main reason is that now that all the people are soldiers, the soldiers who are physically strong have basic martial arts skills and military knowledge, and can fight with a little training.
But the lower limit is high, but the upper limit is low. If you want to train an elite soldier, you have to spend ten or even a hundred times the effort. This is something that many generals are not willing to do, including Qingji.
So at this time, Qingji was absolutely shocked when he saw such thousands of soldiers. He couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "What country are you from?"
In the world today, the three kingdoms of Jin, Qi, and Chu are the strongest.
Below it are the countries of Song, Wei, Wu, Lu, Qin, Zheng and others.
Further down there are the Yue, Chen, Cai, Cao, Xu, Yang and other countries.
It was extremely unlikely that the three top powers would come to help him. Qingji thought about it. Although there were many countries around him, none of them seemed to be up to par with such means.
However, Qing Ji finally suppressed it. He knew that when the other party wanted to say something, he would naturally say that what he wanted now was to train and strengthen the army, regain his strength, and fight back against the Kingdom of Wu as quickly as possible!
Not to mention the survival of Prince Qingji of the Kingdom of Wu, which dropped a stone on the situation of the princes and other countries. In the capital of Jiang Kingdom, Gu Cheng took Nightshade and left the palace.
The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were an era when ideas exploded, with hundreds of schools of thought contending and constant trends of thought, laying the foundation for the Chinese civilization.
When the Qin Dynasty was unified and a country emerged in the true sense, without the competition among princes, it no longer had such brilliance.
So since I'm here, I naturally want to meet those legendary figures.
