Chapter 142 Slow Cooking

In the Huben barracks.

"Teacher." Someone came in from outside the tent, it was Prince Fan who followed the Chinese army.

Prince Fan cupped his hands and said: "All the news that the Taifu asked to spread has already been spread. Today there is a big riot at the foot of Peiqiu Mountain. No matter how smart the Shanrong people are, I am afraid they must believe it."

In the camp of the Chinese Shogunate, Qi Lu turned around, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Don't underestimate the Shanrong people."

Prince Fan was a little hesitant, and said: "What the Tai Tuo means is...the Shanrong people still don't believe it?"

So far, Zhou Gong Hei Jian suddenly turned against Qi Lu because of his younger brother's death; the blame was all Qi Lu's fault; he even led the Chinese army to besiege Peiqiu Mountain privately, preparing to burn Peiqiu, and everything was settled, etc. In fact, all these were Qi Lu plan...

The Shanrong people occupy Peiqiu, and there are many mountains and forests in Peiqiu.Attacking Peiqiu with fire is the best choice, but due to the majesty and status of the emperor, fire attack is too cruel. Once the emperor fires, he will lose most of the people's hearts. Therefore, he must not choose fire attack arbitrarily.

At the time of the court discussion, Qi Lu suddenly stood up and said that there was a way to capture Peiqiu. In fact, this way was to "split", not to split the Shanrong people, but to split the Luoshi royal team.

Qi Lv and Zhou Gong Hei Jian staged a good show. Because of the loss of his beloved brother, Zhou Gong Hei Jian angered Qi Taifu, and the disagreement with Qi Taifu caused the army of Hu Ben to split, people panicked and had no intention of fighting.

Qi Lu also asked Prince Fan to publicize the news, so that the Shanrong people hiding in Peiqiu Mountain must hear about it. Not only that, Qi Lu felt that it was not safe, so he and Zhou Gong Heijian specially arranged the siege of Peiqiu Mountain play.

At the foot of Peiqiu Mountain, right under the eyes of the Shanrong people, Heijian besieged Peiqiu, pretending to set fire to it, Qi Lv appeared to stop him, the two sides fought, Guo Gong added fuel and jealousy, and finally the emperor made a grand appearance, scolded Heijian, and was dismissed logically Black-shouldered duties.

Such news will soon reach the ears of the Shanrong people. Even the commander of the Central Army of the Huben Army has been dismissed, and the vigilance of the Shanrong people will inevitably be lowered.

Prince Fan said strangely: "Teacher thinks... this is not enough? Don't the Shanrong people believe the news that Duke Zhou was dismissed?"

Qi Lu said lightly: "The Shanrong people have been defeated by us twice, so they will inevitably learn to be better, and let them believe that I am afraid that they still need some heat... This soup should be stewed slowly in order to get the taste. Son."

Prince Fan nodded, seeing Qi Lu's appearance, he should have plans.Prince Fan looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he has a deep scheming mind. He never asks questions that should not be asked, so he cups his hands and says, "Yes."

Zhou Gong Heijian was thrown into the prison, and he was imprisoned in the prison of the Chinese army.

"Ta...Tat Tat..." Following the sound of footsteps, a tall black figure walked into the prison, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Open the door."

Seeing the black shadow, the prisoner hurriedly said respectfully, "Yes, I'm going to open the door for Guo."

squeak-

The gate of the prison was opened, and Guo Gongji's father walked in from the outside, and quickly stood still.

In the prison, Duke Zhou Heijian was dismissed from his official robes, standing in the dimness in a thin long robe, looking a little desolate and lonely.

Guo Gongji's father stared at Hei Jian's back, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Duke Guo is here today..." Hei Jian spoke first, with a very calm voice, "Isn't it because Hei Jian is afraid that Hei Jian will be overwhelmed?"

Guo Gong's expression changed a little, and Hei Jian must have guessed right without him opening his mouth.

Heijian turned around slowly and looked at Duke Guo with a very calm expression, not at all in the pain of losing a brother, nor like a lost person imprisoned in a prison.

Father Ji of Guogong finally spoke up and said, "Father Ji wants to come and see, have you not suffered any grievances in prison?"

Heijian even smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's all fake anyway, Taifu Qi has already made arrangements, and Heijian lives here very leisurely."

Hei Jian was just acting in cooperation with Qi Lu, and Qi Lu had also arranged it, so naturally Hei Jian would not suffer any grievances.

Duke Guo hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father Ji has a tight mouth, but if Duke Zhou wants to say anything, he can tell Father Ji. Because of my stupid mouth, I will not tell others."

Hei Jian raised his head, glanced at Ji's father, and after a long time, he said slowly: "There are many people in my Hei Jian's clan, but Hei Back is the only real relative. Hei Jian is very domineering outside, but at home, Hei Back is my reliance, and now he just left..."

Father Ji's heart was aching a little bit, listening to Hei Jian's calm voice, he felt that his heart was being squeezed hard like a cloth towel, he leaned over slowly, and said softly: "If it is possible, Father Ji is willing to Is it okay to be the Duke of Zhou's reliance?"

In Peiqiu Mountain.

"What?!" General Shanrong glared at him coldly, and said, "The disharmony among Zhou people is all due to Qi Lu's scheme?!"

Fu'er nodded and said, "It's just what the general heard. It's indeed all Qi Lv's scheme. We just wait for the general to relax his vigilance and fall into the trap."

General Shanrong squinted his eyes. To be honest, he was actually observing, and he didn't fully believe it.After all, Shan Rong has been defeated twice by Master Luo, and he needs to be extra cautious for the third time, so General Shan Rong has kept his mind on it, so he has been sending soldiers to spy, probing again and again, not daring to send troops rashly.

Fu'er seemed to have noticed General Shanrong's expression, smiled knowingly, and said, "Isn't the general hesitating as much? It seems that the general has also noticed something."

Fu'er continued: "The general doesn't know that the minister is not a member of Master Luo, but a secret agent sent by Qi State to spy on Qi Lu. Qi Lu saw through it and had to submit to Qi Lu. But in the final analysis, in Qi Lu's heart , I am afraid of the little minister. The little minister is timid in Luoshi, and there is no peace in China and Japan. It is better to submit to the general and make military exploits, but you can get a little bit of benefit."

General Shanrong said: "You are an eunuch, what military exploits can you make?"

Fu'er smiled confidently, and said: "General, although I'm just an eunuch, I have also spied on some military affairs in the camp these days. Qi Lu pretended to be at odds with Duke Zhou, and his purpose was to make the general fall into the trap, but General, have you ever thought about using tricks? Although it is a fake trick, but for the sake of authenticity, Zhou Gong is in prison at this time, and the Huben army has also deliberately relaxed their vigilance. If... At this time, the general did not throw himself into the trap, but He chose to attack the food and grass of the Zhou people, once the army loses the food and grass, what will happen?"

General Shanrong didn't speak, but some greedy brilliance bloomed in his eyes.

Fu'er said again: "The little minister also brought good news to the general. Because of Qi Lv's strategy, he wanted to lure the general into a trap. In order to be prepared, the food and grass in the army were not actually in the barracks. It was arranged by Qi Lu to a separate camp, the location is very hidden, when the young minister was cleaning the tent, he once peeked at it, and happened to remember the location of the food and payment barracks."

The greedy brilliance in General Shanrong's eyes became brighter, even flickering, staring at Fu'er.

Fu'er smiled and said: "General, why don't you follow the plan and attack the Huben army, but it is not the Chinese army, but the food and grass camp of the Huben army. They will be caught off guard! Once the food and grass camp falls, the Chinese army will not only be defeated, but will also be attracted. The King of Zhou blamed Qi Lu, alienated the relationship between the King of Zhou and Qi Lu, and brought down Qi Lu's serious trouble in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone?"

Although General Shan Rong is greedy, he still hesitates. After all, he has learned how to behave well and will not trust others easily. Fu'er smiled clearly and said: "I know the general's concerns very well, and I am willing to ask for orders, but I ask the general to allocate fifty soldiers and horses to the young minister, only fifty, and the young minister is willing to burn the barracks of Zhou people's food and grass for the general, to show his sincerity and loyalty!"

Fifty soldiers and horses, the number of Shan Rong generals is still enough for this idea, even if Fu'er is cheating, 50 people will not suffer.General Shan Rong pretended to be generous and said: "Okay! I will allocate fifty soldiers and horses to you. If you really can burn the food and grass of the Zhou people, I will keep you in the camp and make contributions. If you are a spy with ulterior motives, hum... ...Then don't blame the general for being cruel!"

Fu'er cupped his hands and said, "General, please rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you."

As the night gradually darkened, Qi Lu walked into the camp, took off his outer robe, and immediately stepped forward, took Qi Lu's robe respectfully, tidied it up and put it aside.

Qi Lu casually said, "Why didn't you see Fu'er? Are you alone?"

Yan Yangjian said: "Going back to Taifu, I don't know where Chi'er has gone. I haven't seen Chi'er in the past two days."

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a noise from the tent.

"on fire!!"

"It's on fire! Put out the fire!"

"Firefighting—"

Qi Lu frowned and said, "What is it?"

He said, opened the tent curtain, and immediately got out of the tent. It wasn't because the camp was on fire, but a red light came out from outside the camp. To the east of the camp, billowing black smoke shot up into the sky, black smoke darker than the night, Accompanied by the strong fire snake, it flew away into the sky.

Qi Lu looked at the direction of the fiery snake, felt a thump in his heart, and said, "Oops, grain and grass."

"Tat, ta, ta!" The hurried voice approached quickly, and saw Guo Gongji's father striding into the camp, and said hurriedly: "Teacher, it's not good! It's a big camp for food and grass! A group of mountain soldiers and horses attacked at night The food and grass camp, the fire in the camp is fierce, and the wind is strong and dry tonight, the food and grass are probably..."

Qi Lu's face was rather ugly, and he said in a cold voice, "The grain and grass of the Chinese army are extremely confidential. Why did the Shanrong people know the location of the grain and grass camp?"

Guo Gongji's father said in a deep voice: "I heard from the soldiers in the grain and grass camp that the leader of the Shanrong people who attacked and set fire to the fire was very young and very kind, like..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Looks like the little minister who usually follows the Taifu... Fu'er."
