In the study room of the outpost, His Royal Highness Prince Su, who had been assassinated just now without changing his expression, was now squealing in pain while being wiped with strong alcohol to his wounds. The Zongwei Lu Mu who was cleaning his wounds was so embarrassed that his hands were trembling a little.
On the sidelines, Mu Qing was amused.
After all, just now, their highness showed such heroic spirit in front of countless refugees from the Chu State. With the finger-long sharp blade stuck in his arm, he was still talking and laughing freely. But now, there are no outsiders around.
But he was howling and cursing.
People who didn't know better thought that His Highness got something and went crazy.
"Your Highness, could you please stop talking to yourself next time and walk to the front?" Mu Qing couldn't help but said.
Hearing this, the other four clan guards in the room nodded.
It must be said that the assassination just now almost caused them to suffer cardiac arrest.
If Zhao Hongrun hadn't pushed Wei Jiao and Chu Heng away to help the assassin pretending to be mother and son, and protected by the clan guards, how could he have been injured?
Regarding this, Zhao Hongrun's attitude was very indignant: "Do you blame me?...Who knew that those gangsters would actually use such a nasty way of assassination."
No wonder he was so angry. After all, the little woman looked delicate and weak at that time. In order to win people's hearts, he should have helped her up and said a few words of comfort. Who knew that among those low-life assassins, there was actually
It's really disgusting to have women!
"It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge this revenge... When Yangxia Black Crow arrives here, this matter must be repaid!"
Zhao Hongrun said firmly.
On the same day, Sun Shuke counted the list of soldiers who were assassinated by assassins last night and sent the calculated casualties to Zhao Hongrun.
At first glance, Zhao Hongrun's complexion suddenly became extremely bad, even worse than when he was personally assassinated.
Because in Sun Shuke's casualty list, there were more than 40 hundred-man generals, five-hundred-man generals, and even two thousand-man generals who were assassinated last night. This loss is no less than a small to medium-sized loss.
.
Don’t think that an army only relies on generals like Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wu Ji, Nanmen Yang, etc. In fact, a hundred generals, five hundred generals, and a thousand generals are the backbone of an army. They are the ones who rush to kill on the battlefield.
The backbone on the front line.
But this time, more than 40 people were assassinated. This loss was like the loss of nearly 5,000 troops. How could Zhao Hongrun not feel distressed?
“This is unreasonable!!”
Regardless of the fact that the wound on his arm had just been bandaged, Zhao Hongrun angrily tore the statistical roster into pieces.
Seeing that His Highness was so angry, Zongwei Zhou Pu put forward a suggestion similar to that of Sun Shuke: "Your Highness, I'm afraid there is still a group of thieves hiding among that group of refugees, so we must be on guard..."
However, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun before he finished speaking.
Do you really think that Zhao Hongrun doesn't want to search the refugees one by one and find out all the assassins hiding among them? He is just concerned about the public sentiment of the refugees - Wei Jun has managed to maintain a positive image so far, how can he be
destroy?
At this moment, even if Zhao Hongrun wanted to kill those assassins with a thousand knives, he could only endure it for the time being.
However, while being patient, he also wrote a letter and sent it to Juyang County, criticizing and accusing Juyang County of sending assassins on the battlefield and doing things unethically.
It's not that Zhao Hongrun naively thought that this move would make Juyang County feel ashamed. This move was just to give him the moral upper hand and facilitate his revenge in the future.
In this way, until the ninth day of October, the reinforcements Zhao Hongrun had been waiting for finally arrived in Qi County.
That was a very special group of people - more than 600 Yangxia Black Crows led by Mangyao, one of the two leaders of the Yangxia Black Crows. This included almost one-third of the Yangxia Black Crows.
Two human hands.
Around Chen time on that day, Zhao Hongrun met with Sang Ya and Yi in the study room of Zhi County Post.
"Black Spider...isn't he here?"
Seeing Mang Ya and Yi, Zhao Hongrun felt a little regretful. It was a pity that Black Spider, the other leader of Yangxia Black Crow, did not come this time.
After all, in comparison, Black Spider can be regarded as a wise and strategic leader, but in Zhao Hongrun's opinion, the mourning crow in front of him is just a complete murderer.
Hearing this, a man dressed in black night clothes said with a smile: "The leader of the Black Spider stayed in Yangxia to train the juniors in the village. After all, the leader of the mourning crow is not good at this..."
"Hey, hey, hey." Mourning Crow expressed his dissatisfaction with his unique hoarse and unpleasant voice.
Zhao Hongrun understood it as soon as he heard it.
After all, today's Yangxia Black Crow is no longer the baseless group of hidden thieves it once was, but has its own hidden thieves village.
To support a village, it cannot be achieved by fighting and killing all day long. Even if Zhao Hongrun allocated a lot of money to them, it would be difficult to exchange the money for food, weapons, leather armor or even training concealment.
Each of the thief's facilities requires energy.
Come to think of it, Black Spider is handling this matter, just like Ying Kang, the leader of Shangshui Qingya.
Fortunately, there is also "佴", a young assassin carefully cultivated by Jin Gou, the former leader of the Fuqiu clan.
Zhao Hongrun comforted himself secretly.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Hongrun told Sangya and Yi what happened to their Wei army.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Sangya ask directly: "Your Highness, King Su, you don't need to explain this to us. You only need to tell Mangya that you want to kill those people and how you want them to die."
Those words that were full of murderous intent made Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao unconsciously cross his arms and look at Mangyao, who was covered in a black cloak, with a strange expression.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun grinned, because he gradually realized the reason why the Black Spider sent Mang Ya here: the character this time, Mang Ya was indeed the most suitable person to take action.
"Kill!" Looking at Mangya and Ji, Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It's disrespectful to come and not return. You also bring people to the Chu army. No matter which Chu army, as long as there are five hundred
If you encounter a general or above, I will kill him if you have the chance!"
Hearing this, he felt the eyes of the mourning crow light up. He smiled strangely and said, "Hey, hey, I understand."
That day, more than six hundred Yangxia black crows quickly set out.
Even Zhao Hongrun didn't know where they were going.
Of course, he doesn't care who the Black Crows kill.
It has to be said that the participation of the Black Crows in the battle frightened the Chu army south of the Huihe River, because in just a few days, there were many Chu armies of 500 and 1,000 in Juyang County.
Generals at the general level were assassinated, including generals with two thousand men and three thousand men among them.
What is even more shocking is that the leader of the black crows, Sang Ya, has been eyeing Zhou Zheng, the commander of the 50,000 "Zhangyang Army" sent by "Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng" from the very beginning.
Mourning Crow took advantage of the darkness to touch the commander's tent and almost cut off the commander's head.
After that, the Wei army and the Chu army south of the Huihe River started a quarrel.
After all, sending assassins to assassinate important enemy generals on the battlefield has always been a taboo on the battlefield. It is a dirty trick that is looked down upon by both generals and soldiers.
Therefore, now that the Black Crows are participating in the battle, the Chu army will naturally scold Zhao Hongrun, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, for his unethical conduct.
And Wei Jun is also quite confident: Who asked you to use such dirty tricks in the first place? This is called treating others in their own way!
The news reached the ears of Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan in Juyang County, and the two officials from the Chu palace frowned.
After all, the two of them were the ones who suggested sending assassins to assassinate Zhao Hongrun. In comparison, Juyang Lord Xiong Li was just a fool who listened to their advice in order to protect his own property.
None of the three of them are battlefield generals in the true sense.
"Unexpectedly, Ji Run actually has a group of dead soldiers under his command..."
At the military council that day, Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan smiled bitterly and had no choice but to admit their mistakes.
Because it was precisely because of the suggestions of the two of them that the Chu army's situation became more unfavorable and the battle became more bizarre. It evolved from a war between soldiers to a unilateral assassination of Chu army generals by Wei assassins.
In response, Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo had no expression on his face.
From the bottom of his heart, Xiong Tuo naturally disdained the suggestions of Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan. However, he wanted to win over these two officials and let them support him in ascending the throne of Chu King. Therefore, he naturally did not
So much to say.
As for the other Juyang Lord Xiong Li and Guling Lord Xiong Wu, although they talked a lot in the meeting, Xiong Tuo didn't hear a word of constructive meaning - in his opinion, what they said was
Yes, it's all nonsense.
"Juyang County... lacks a person who can take charge of the overall situation."
At that time, Xiong Tuo thought to himself.
Originally, Xiang Pei, Lord of Xinyang, could have played the role of the general who was in charge of Ju Yang and presided over the overall situation. Unfortunately, the general was tied up by the Wei cavalry in Xinyang. It was too late to defend, so how could he take care of Ju Yang?
Here is Yang.
Xiong Tuo snickered secretly at this, because in his opinion, if this continues, it may be difficult to preserve Juyang County.
And in this way, it would become easier for him to use Wei Jun's help to get rid of Ju Yangjun Xiong Li.
But what I didn't expect was that on October 14th, a big shot who was famous in the Chu Kingdom came to Juyang County.
Shoulingjun Jingshe, one of the Three Pillars of Chu State, finally arrived in Juyang County with his 30,000 Shouling Army.
The appearance of this person shocked Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
On the same day, Xiong Tuo, Juyang Lord Xiong Li, Guling Lord Xiong Wu, Gongyang Yun and Gongyang Zan came to the west gate of Juyang County to greet Shouling Lord Jingshe.
When he saw the man sitting astride the war horse Shouling Junjingshe from a distance, Xiong Tuo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, once upon a time, Shouling Lord Jingshe, Xiling Lord Qu Ping, and his uncle Xiong Tuo respected, Runan Lord Xiong Hao, were once known as the Three Pillars of Chu, the three pillars supporting the huge Chu Kingdom.
It was not until Runan Jun Xiong Hao was convicted of treason and executed that the nobles of the Xiong family of Chudong introduced Diyang Jun Xiong Shang to replace Runan Jun Xiong Hao.
In other words, the Shouling Lord in front of him was a hero of the Chu State who was once as famous as his uncle Xiong Tuo, the Runan Lord Xiong Hao.
It is precisely because of this relationship that when Xiong Tuo looked at the Shouling Lord's residence from a distance, he vaguely felt as if he had seen his uncle who had passed away long ago. Unconsciously, his lips trembled slightly and his eyes were moist.
.
At this time, Shouling Junjingshe had already arrived at the city gate. He turned over and dismounted, and towards Xiong Tuo and other people who came to greet him, he cupped his hands and hugged his fists.
"Jingshe was held back by the West Vietnamese rebels. That's why I rushed to Juyang for the delay. Please forgive me."
