Chapter 107: Dialogue with Chu Kuangge before the battle
Just as everyone was talking, Yanggu army outside the city also slowly moved, and saw two of the square formations suddenly moving, and the direction was the east of Hezhou City, which is the east gate of Hezhou.
Squinted his eyes, Yao Ruoyu looked carefully for a few times, and saw that Chu Hao, Chu Dun and Chu Zheng were responsible for leading the army, and then said solemnly: "Yanhu Camp immediately went to the east gate to take over the garrison work, and Thunder God Camp stayed."
"Yes!" Fu Feng, Li Yilin, Jiang Siyu, Fu Zan, Ren Jiasheng and two other generals from Yanhu Camp, He Jun, Yu Xiangdong, agreed with his fists, and then turned around and wanted to lead the troops to leave.
"I'll go, too."
But he didn't expect that at this moment, Song Kai suddenly spoke.
"You go too?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, but then he realized something and smiled bitterly, "It's not appropriate to be jealous at this time?"
Faced with Yao Ruoyu's dissuasion, Song Kai said lightly: "There is no spiritual master in the East Gate."
Yao Ruoyu thought for a few moments when she heard this, then nodded, "Okay, be careful."
"Yes." Nodded as if he agreed, and then Song Kai followed Fu Feng and others to leave quickly.
Seeing Fu Feng and others leading the troops, Yang Renjie, Wu Xue, Jia Hang, Luo Jiaxin, Chen Meng and others also quickly moved, and moved the city guarding equipment to the city top and pushed it to various pre-determined placements. At the same time, hot oil, horizontal wood, rolling stone and other things were constantly moved to the city top.
Under the arrangement of Yang Renjie, two thousand Thunder God Battalion soldiers were quickly dispersed to all parts of the city, and the remaining 500 people remained at the city gate and scattered into the defensive facilities prepared in advance.
Just as Hezhou City entered the defensive state, a cavalry suddenly rushed out of the two square formations left by the Yanggu Army, which was suddenly Chu Yuan.
This guy was not afraid that Hezhou City would attack him at all. He rode his horse to the top of the city, raised his head and shouted: "Hey! Yao Ruoyu, the father-in-law called you out to speak!"
"King of Chu is looking for me?" Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted and said loudly, "The King of Chu invites you, how dare you refuse?" After saying that, he bounced his fingers and formed several spiritual seals, attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to gather directly, wrapping his body and rising up, floating down to the top of the city.
While Yao Ruoyu flew out of the city, a middle-aged man riding a red and golden war horse also walked out of Yanggu's army. He was the first military in the northwest of the Song Dynasty and one of the eight-level powerhouses in the world, Chu Kuangge.
Yao Ruoyu knew very well that if Chu Kuangge wanted to kill him, it would be useless even if he hid in Hezhou City. So this guy was a bachelor, so he went out of Hezhou City carelessly and went straight to the wasteland outside the city that had been dug into ruins, leaving only two gullies from Chu Kuangge.
After Chu Kuangge approached, Yao Ruoyu directly clasped his fists and bowed, and said with a smile: "Yao has met the King of Chu."
After looking at Yao Ruoyu, Chu Kuangge said lightly: "After a few months of separation, my nephew's style is far better than the past."
Knowing that Chu Kuangge was mocking himself for pretending to be low-key in Fuling and Chongqing, Yao Ruoyu smiled unconsciously: "Time urges people, but current affairs are not spared. As you experience more, there will naturally change."
With a casual smile, Chu Kuangge silently glanced at the wasteland surrounding it that was almost turned into ruins, and chuckled: "Interesting, such a wonderful idea is enough to reduce the strength of our army's iron cavalry by more than 20%.
Facing the powerful eighth level, especially in the hostilities, Yao Ruoyu's mind had already been pushed to the limit by him, and he did not dare to be negligent or relaxed at all. The moment Chu Kuangge finished speaking, his mind had quickly reasoned about the meaning of the other person's words, and after a few breaths, he replied: "What the King of Chu said is very much, and this method especially restrains the cavalry."
Seeing Yao Ruoyu answering like this, Chu Kuangge nodded gently and smiled and said, "In the future, this thing will definitely be of great significance."
When Yao Ruoyu heard Chu Kuangge say that these barbed wires would have made great achievements, he felt a little relieved. He knew that the other party implied that he had made great achievements, so he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I wish the King of Chu to win the flag, sweep the Jin Dynasty in the future, defeat the Jin cavalry, and promote the power of the Song Dynasty!"
"'Play my Song Dynasty's power'?" Chu Kuangge laughed and said, "You still think you are a subject of the Song Dynasty?"
"Of course!" Knowing the key, Yao Ruoyu bowed and said solemnly, "If I had not been forced into a desperate situation, how could I let go of everything, take a gamble, and dare to be an enemy of the King of Chu? It was really forced to do it with helplessness."
With his eyes narrowed, Chu Kuangge said coldly: "Do you know that what you do now can be called a serious crime of treason!"
"I know!" Nodded heavily, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice, "But after Lord Yang died, we finally turned the tide and defeated all invading enemies, so that the city would not be lost, the people would not be hurt, and the country's prestige would not be damaged, but we were framed and covered in stigma. We worked hard and worked hard to contribute to the country, but ended up like this. How could we not do it?"
Nodded, Chu Kuangge seemed to agree, but his expression suddenly became cold and he said in a deep voice: "This is not a reason for rebellion!"
"Is this a rebellion?" Yao Ruoyu bit his teeth and said solemnly, "We met the imperial envoy and became enemies, but we still had good wine and food to entertain. Unexpectedly, after the other party returned, they slandered us as traitors, and then a famous general of strong army attacked. In order to protect ourselves, we had to fight."
"The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, the master, the master, the master, the master, the son, the son, the master is the great way of human relations!" Looking at Yao Ruoyu, Chu Kuangge said in a deep voice, "As a minister, it should be that the king wants the minister to die. If the minister dares not die, how can he resist revenge?"
Yao Ruoyu was slightly silent when he heard this, and then suddenly asked, "Does the King of Chu believe in such Confucian remarks?"
Chu Kuangge snorted coldly: "The King of Yue believes in such truth."
Seeing Chu Kuangge avoiding the topic, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but smile. He was able to practice to the eight realms. How firm was his original heart? How could he stick to this way of the king and the minister? Chu Kuangge seemed to call it the truth, but in fact he deliberately moved out of the King of Yue and changed the topic.
When he was still in Chongqing, Yao Ruoyu consulted Chu Zheng about the situation in Hezhou City, and also deliberately asked for a long time, deliberately giving Chu Kuangge a hint so that he would not be too shocked when he was trying to seize Hezhou City.
However, after all, it was just a hint and could not express all his thoughts. At this moment, it was Yao Ruoyu's only chance!
So Yao Ruoyu didn't care about the ridicule in his heart and asked directly: "I dare to ask the King of Chu, what about Hezhou City when Lord Yang was there?"
"The green insects occupy the dragon's den, and the sparrows occupy the phoenix's nest." Chu Kuangge said straight with a cold smile.
He is a powerful person in the Eighth Realm or a prince of the current dynasty. Chu Kuangge is naturally qualified to comment on the Hezhou City ruled by Yang Yiming. In fact, this is also the military's long-standing view of Hezhou City.
With a smile, Yao Ruoyu continued, "If we were defeated, what would happen to Hezhou?"
Without waiting for Chu Kuangge to answer, Yao Ruoyu said again: "But if we occupy Hezhou, what will happen to Hezhou?"
His eyes suddenly opened, and Chu Kuangge stared at Yao Ruoyu quietly for a few breaths. After a long time, his eyes returned to their original state, but a huge wave had already stirred up in his heart, because he had already keenly understood the meaning of Yao Ruoyu's words.
When Chu Kuangge was focused on looking at him, Yao Ruoyu felt his heart pause and his blood in his body was close to stop flowing. Whether it was the heart or the purple palace, they all stopped moving under an indescribable terrifying aura. Until the other party retracted his gaze, the whole person regained control over the body.
(Eight realms...)
He sighed silently in his heart, and Yao Ruoyu's face was filled with Gu Jing Wubo, and he clasped his fists and said, "I'll ask the King of Chu to fulfill his wish."
After a while of silence, Chu Kuangge frowned and said, "Can you just wait, just a few people from the Three Realms be able to accomplish this?"
"Can a few people in the third realm defeat the five sons of the Chu family who are famous all over the world?" Yao Ruoyu said with a smile.
"I……"
I was already feeling unhappy because I heard Yao Ruoyu's words. After hearing this, Chu Yuan immediately glared at him and wanted to curse, but Chu Xuan on one side covered his mouth quickly with his eyes and hands, so he didn't let him scold him.
With a slight nod, Chu Kuangge looked at Yao Ruoyu thoughtfully and said calmly: "Okay! If you can defeat Ziqiang's five brothers again today, I will convince the emperor that if you let you occupy Hezhou, you just need to submit to the Song Dynasty and become a vassal city."
Seeing Chu Kuangge agree, Yao Ruoyu was immediately ecstatic, but he was quite steady. He only showed a little joy on his face and was not too arrogant. He clasped his fists again and said solemnly: "Thank you, King Chu!"
When Yao Ruoyu returned to the city, Yang Renjie, Chen Meng, Hou Jingru and others immediately surrounded him and nervously observed whether he was injured. What was even more exaggerated was that Chen Meng grabbed him directly and just paused, as if he wanted to touch him to see if he had suffered internal injuries.
After throwing away Chen Meng, Yao Ruoyu laughed and scolded with anger: "Mengzhu, what are you doing? Do you think you are Jingru, but you are not a doctor, so why do you touch..."
"Aren't you afraid that you will be plotted against?" Chen Meng scratched her head and smiled honestly.
Seeing that Yao Ruoyu was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Renjie suddenly smiled terrified and said, "Why, old demon, if it was Jingru touching you, would you let me touch it?"
When Hou Jingru heard this, her face turned red and she coquettishly beat Yang Renjie, who was full of pride and laughed endlessly.
Originally, I had to have a habit of saying a few words, but fortunately, Yao Ruoyu remembered that Xu Xuanrong was still by his side in time, and his face darkened and said solemnly: "There are so many nonsense, hurry up and prepare, the Yanggu army is about to attack the city!"
"You have to!" said with a smile. Yang Renjie waved his arm and took Chen Meng, Jia Hang and others away quickly to prepare for the city guarding.
*—*—*—*—*
Just as Yang Renjie and others were preparing, Chu Zheng, Chu Hao and Chu Dun had already brought the five thousand troops outside the east gate of Hezhou City and began to set up camps and prepare for the siege.
"When the camp is built, you can start siege!" Standing on the already built high platform, Chu Hao looked at the walls of Hezhou City, and Chu Dun beside him, and Chu Zheng said.
Chu Dun was naturally casual and nodded immediately to agree, but Chu Zheng frowned slightly and said solemnly: "Third brother, it's better to be careful."
"What's there to be afraid of in a small town in Hezhou?" Chu Hao curled his lips and chuckled.
Shaking his head, Chu Zheng pointed to the more than ten gullies outside the city, and the barbed wire mesh and other things scattered above the gullies, and said in a deep voice: "Yao Ruoyu is cunning. These gullies can greatly slow down our attack. Barbed wire mesh and other things can restrain the cavalry assault. I see that the city's crossbows and other things are ready, and I am afraid that if you don't even reach the city, you will lose a lot."
He is worthy of being a counselor-type talent trained by Chu Kuangge himself. The barbed wire mesh is a thing of later generations and has never appeared in the world. However, at first glance, Chu Zheng distinguished the function of this thing.
Although Chu Hao was arrogant, he admired his fifth brother's strategy very much. He immediately glanced over when he heard this. After a moment, he showed a sudden look and frowned and said, "It's true that he is cunning!"
"What should I do?" Chu Dun frowned and asked.
Thinking a little, Chu Zheng looked at the city and said solemnly: "Don't attack quickly. First arrange for the soldiers to dig soil and fill the gullies, and remove iron nets and other objects."
Chu Hao suddenly said dissatisfied: "Wouldn't this be a waste of time?"
With a wry smile, Chu Zheng said helplessly: "The only way now is, but although these things block our army's attack, they also restrict the enemy's out-of-city harassment. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the opponent taking advantage of the situation to attack the city. You only need to be wary of the equipment on the top of the city."
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Chu Hao was still arrogant in his heart and did not want to waste too much time on these things. He shook his head and said, "No need, our number is superior, and we are strong and we are strong, so we are attacking!"
When Chu Zheng heard this, he was about to persuade him again, but Chu Hao had turned around and walked away to command the soldiers to prepare for the attack on the city. He could only sigh helplessly.
