Chapter 141 Qi Lu's Strategy

"enough!"

Just when Guo Gongji's father blocked Heijian, the emperor came out, or there was too much movement here, and there were too many doctors and tigers onlookers, which alarmed the emperor.

The Son of Heaven walked over. Regardless of his young age, he was the youngest among the crowd. He was not yet 20 years old, but he was tall and tall. His face, which was usually like a puppy, became gloomy, and became extremely cold and majestic.

Ji Lin glanced at the crowd coldly, and said: "The enemy is now, and the Shanrong people are pressing down on the border, but my royal family is fighting among us here, quarreling with our own people, what's the proper way? If this spreads, what is the military might? Where is the majesty of the royal doctor?"

Zhou Gong Hei Jian lowered his hands and didn't speak, but he seemed a little unwilling.

Ji Lin glanced at the crowd again, and said: "The Shanrong people challenged the majesty of our royal family and slaughtered my royal family's doctors. At this moment, it is time for our royal family to work together. We must not be suspicious of each other, complain about each other, and go back to reflect. "

The emperor came out to speak, and the surrounding officials hurriedly dispersed, still unable to stop talking in a low voice.

"I heard that the feud between Duke Zhou and the Taifu is no longer a matter of one day or two. I am afraid it is a long-standing grudge. If there is no Taifu Qi, the person who is now the head of the three princes must be Duke Zhou! To die in battle with a black back, Duke Zhou must find fault with Taifu Qi!"

"You can't say that all the time. After all, General Heibei died in battle. It's understandable for Duke Zhou to be depressed. It's human nature to say a few harsh words."

"What is human nature? It was the Shanrong who killed the black-backed general, not our own. I think Zhou is used to being arrogant in his daily life, so he is so unscrupulous."

"Stop talking, you still think the army is not chaotic enough? If the emperor hears about it, he will definitely take your skin off!"

"Hey, there is so much internal strife in our army, how can we beat the Shanrong people..."

Zhou Gong Heijian fell ill for two or three days, and his condition improved a little. Immediately, the army continued to march to Peiqiu in Qi State to join the frontline army.

Duke Guo and Ji's father brought back the dead body of Heibei, Zhu Dan remained in the frontline army, and Ji Lin personally led the troops. The two armies finally joined together to put pressure on Peiqiu Mountain.

"Not good! Not good!"

The Huben army rushed into the camp in a panic and reported: "Teacher, something is not right! Duke Zhou took advantage of the gap between the emperor himself leading troops to patrol, and led two or two thousand troops. He has surrounded Peiqiu Mountain and is preparing to volcanic Peiqiu. No grass left!"

They have discussed the burning of Peiqiu before, because the fire is difficult to control, and it has been windy these days, and it is a dry winter season. No one can guarantee how the fire will spread. Peiqiu is the royal hunting ground of Qi State. It is not far from Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and the population is densely populated. If the fire becomes uncontrollable and affects the people, even Linzi of Qi State, it will cause a catastrophe!

When Qi Lu heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Hurry up, send someone to invite the emperor back, and the rest will follow the law to stop Duke Zhou!"

Qi Lv immediately rushed out of the camp, ordered his soldiers and horses, and happened to bump into Duke Guo Ji's father, and they rushed to Peiqiu Mountain with whips on their horses.

They camped at a certain distance from Peiqiu Mountain. After all, the Shanrong people hid on Peiqiu Mountain, and they didn't know when the Shanrong people would engage in sneak attacks, so it is best to be cautious.

Qi Lu and Guo Gongji's father hurried to Peiqiu, the sky was not dark, it was still daytime at noon, but in the distance they saw a fire, it was the light of torches, Zhou Gong was carrying two thousand soldiers and horses on his shoulders, two thousand The soldiers and horses held torches in their hands, and the mighty flames formed a fire dragon. If the fire continued, let alone Peiqiu, every inch of grass around Peiqiu would be reduced to ashes!

"Set fire! Burn the mountain!"

Zhou Gong sat on the horse with black shoulders, his face was pale, gloomy and cold, he flicked his black sleeve robe vigorously, and gave orders coldly.

"set fire--"

The attendants immediately ordered to set the fire on fire. Before the order was conveyed, they heard the sound of "treading" horseshoes. A group of army horses rushed over and greeted them quickly. The leaders were Qi Lu and Guo Gongji's father.

Guo Gongji's father shouted: "Don't set fire! Don't give orders!"

Heijian, the Duke of Zhou, heard the yelling, and when he looked up, he saw the rolling loess rushing towards him. Along with the loess, the shadows of Qi Lu and Duke Guo approached quickly.

Duke Zhou Heijian frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Don't pay attention, set fire!"

"This..." The follower was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while.

Duke Zhou Heijian "chucked—" pulled out the sword at his waist, and said coldly, "Why, didn't you even listen to Gu's orders?"

With a black-shouldered long sword resting on his neck, he hurriedly shouted: "Set fire! Burn the mountain!"

At this moment, Guo Gongji's father hastened the horse, pulled the horse's bridle, and the horse kicked, and suddenly stopped in front of the entourage, not letting him pass the order.

Guo Gongji's father came all the way, hot sweat rolling off his armor, almost washing his face in the winter, panting heavily, and said hoarsely: "Zhou Gong! Don't set fire! Without the order of the emperor, you must never set fire to the mountain." The wind is so strong today, if you set fire to it, it will definitely bring disaster to the surrounding people, please think twice, Duke Zhou!"

Zhou Geng Heijian said coldly: "Gu is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army appointed by the emperor. If the emperor is not in the army, he will sit alone and issue orders. Those who resist orders and disrespect will have their heads cut off!"

With a sound of "Shua!" he said, he raised his sword flat, pointed the sword point at Guo Gongji's father, and said, "Guo Gong, do you want to resist orders?"

Don't look at Zhou Gong Hei Jian as a literati, but he is holding a long sword, his face is cold and frightening, his eyes are squinted, and he is staring at Guo Gong.

Sweat rolled down Guo Gong's cheeks, and his breathing still hadn't calmed down. Zhou Gong said coldly, "Please let Guo Gong get out of the way."

Guogong Jifu seemed to have made up his mind, saying: "Even if you disobey today, Jifu won't allow you."

"Good!" Heijian laughed and said, "Very good! Very good!"

As he spoke, he immediately said loudly: "Take down this group of rebellious officials who do not obey the orders of the army!"

Duke Zhou Heijian's army looked at each other in blank dismay. They came to besiege the Shanrong people in Peiqiu today, but they didn't know that the situation turned into a royal civil war.

Neither Heijian nor Jifu's army would give in. At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of "Tat T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T" T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T up!

When Qi Lvlin left the barracks, he sent someone to look for the Son of Heaven, and at this stalemate, the Son of Heaven finally arrived in time.

Ji Lin came quickly on horseback, and as soon as he came to the front, he saw Hei Jian and Ji's father fighting each other.Hei Jian is Zhou Gong, and Ji's father is Guo Gong. Both of them are first-class dukes, and they are both high officials of the royal family.

With a dark face, Ji Lin rolled up the whip, "Crack!" With a loud noise, he rolled up the long sword in Hei Jian's hand, and shook it violently. Even though Ji Lin was young, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his arm and wrist strength are extraordinary. It was a whip that directly severed the black shoulder's saber!

Ji Lin scolded in a cold voice: "Presumptuous! You are not in the army, but you almost caused such a catastrophe! Two armies confronting each other, how decent!? Heijian, you have disappointed me so much!"

Ji Lin then said hoarsely: "The widow's decree will be issued immediately to remove Duke Zhou from the position of commander in chief of the black-shouldered Chinese army, and put him in prison until later!"

"Report--!"

In Peiqiu Mountain, Shan Rong soldiers rushed into the camp and shouted: "General! Good news, General!"

"General, the siege at the foot of the mountain is over!"

"The Duke of Zhou ordered to set fire to the mountain. Taifu Qi and Duke Guo came to stop it, and the emperor of the Zhou people also rushed over. It seems that the discord between the Zhou people was not a rumor, and there was a big fight. The King of Zhou also dismissed the commander of Duke Zhou's army. One position! I have already been imprisoned!"

General Shan Rong laughed and said, "Very good! I thought Zhou people were cruel masters, and they could really set fire to mountains. From this point of view, Zhou people have no benevolence at all. There is nothing to be afraid of if you have courage!"

"The general is right!" the Shan Rong soldier said: "General, now that the Zhou people are in serious civil strife, and the coach Hei Jian is even imprisoned, why not... let's kill Peiqiu and kill them while the Zhou people are in chaos." One caught off guard!"

"No." Unexpectedly, General Shan Rong raised his hand to stop the soldiers from talking, and said, "You must not be so reckless. Zhou people are famous for their cunning. Have you forgotten how we lost the previous battles?"

Shan Rong has already lost to the wall, so he must not lose again. This time, the general of Shan Rong is very cautious. Before, he asked the soldiers to investigate again. Now that he has received the news of the internal strife among the Zhou people, he still can't feel at ease. He frowned and pondered: " Zhou people are full of cunning, and Qi Lv is famous for his cunning, so don't worry, you go, probe again, carefully probe, and see if the internal turmoil in Zhou is true or not."

"Yes, General!"

As soon as the soldiers left, they immediately walked in again. General Shanrong said, "Why did you go and come back?"

The Shan Rong soldier said: "General, there are people outside the tent asking to see you, claiming to be a Zhou man who came here for surrender!"

"Zhou people?" General Shanrong sneered and said, "Submit? Go, come in for interrogation. I'm going to see what Zhou people are!"

Several soldiers quickly escorted a young, thin boy in.The boy's body was very weak, he was dressed in inconspicuous robes, but his face was very pretty, with an aura of invincibility.

The young man walked in, knelt down to pay respects, and said, "I pay my respects to the general."

General Shan Rong looked down at the young man and said, "You are from Zhou? Tell me your name, why do you want to surrender to this general?"

The young man's attitude was very humble, and he said: "The minister's name is Fu Er, and he is a minister of Qi Taifu, the royal family of the Zhou people."

茀儿!

That's right, the frail young man kneeling on the ground turned out to be Qi Lu's close minister, Fu'er.

Fu'er said again: "As the general knows, Fu'er is a servant of Qi Taifu's side, with a humble status. Recently, Duke Zhou Heijian was very sad because of the loss of his brother, but because of Qi Taifu's high position and power, he couldn't Angry with Grand Tutor Qi, he vented his anger on the young minister, who felt that he had nowhere to go in Luoshi, so he came to join the general."

"You are from Zhou," General Shan Rong said coldly, "How can I trust you?"

Fu'er replied: "The general doesn't know. Although the minister is from Zhou, he is not from Luoshi. It is the secret work sent to Luoshi by the prince of Qi. It is all to save his life, so he serves Taifu Qi."

General Shanrong heard this, but repeated: "How can I trust you?"

Fu'er's expression was very calm, not panicked at all, and he said lightly: "This little minister has brought the general the military secrets of the Zhou people."

"Oh?" General Shanrong just issued a single voice of doubt.

Fu'er knelt on the ground, with a sneer on his lips, and said: "The general must have heard the news that Zhou Gong's black shoulders and Qi Taifu fought hard, and the morale of Zhou's army was low? The general didn't know, but actually Zhou Gong and Qi The discord between the Taifu, the chaos in the army, the defeat of morale, including the dismissal of the commander of the army by Zhou Zhou, and the imprisonment, etc., are all Qi Lv's schemes, just to let the general relax his vigilance and throw himself into the trap..."
