I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Wu Jun and Chu Jun had a bloody battle within an inch of the valley, and every inch between the forests in the mountains was filled with people, but Wu Jun had the upper hand after all, and they all gradually killed towards Li Ran.

Wu Yuan was always by Li Ran's side to protect him. Occasionally, several Wu troops fought here, but they were all dealt with by Wu Yuan.

Seeing that the Chu army was about to be defeated, at this moment, there was another booming sound behind him, like rolling thunder, destroying mountains and stirring up seas. Wu Yuan looked back and was overjoyed.

I saw Sun Wu standing on the chariot with several spears beside him. He held one in his hand and threw it at the Wu army, and instantly a Wu army was nailed to the ground.

The chariot was galloping, and Sun Wu threw his spear, opened and closed, invincible, and rushed to the battlefield in a blink of an eye.

Afterwards, Sun Wu jumped down alone and fought hand-to-hand with Chu soldiers.With a groan, he drew out the big sword tied around his waist.Now Sun Wu is already worthy of the five-foot sword because of his status as the magistrate of Ye County, so his ability to fight and kill has also been greatly improved.

He jumped onto the ground as light as a swallow, rolled on the spot, and the long sword cut off the ankles of several Wu Jun in response to the momentum, and the Wu soldiers immediately fell to the ground and howled. J.

Seeing that Sun Wu came just in time, Li Ran couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.I saw Sun Wu and Chuan Fengxu led [-] soldiers pouring in in batches. Wu Jun looked from afar and felt that the mountains and plains were full of Chu troops, and the shouts of killing and the sound of drums and horns completely suppressed Wu Jun.

Wu Jun didn't know the details of Chu's army at all, he just felt that there were countless Chu's troops, and they couldn't be killed.Immediately, morale collapsed; he had to withdraw from the canyon.

And the Chu army didn't dare to pursue too deeply, they only chased a few miles out of the canyon, and then stopped.And in that distant archery drive, shouting loudly.

Wu Jun panicked and didn't choose his way, some headed towards Laishan, and some ran in other directions.Sun Wu easily captured several prisoners and brought them to Li Ran.

Li Ran wanted to know about the situation of Laishan, but these captives were all small soldiers, and he didn't know much about the situation of Laishan. He only knew that the King of Wu had made a strategy to encircle Laishan without attacking it, and his strength There are roughly one hundred thousand people.

As for what happened to the king of Chu, it is still unknown whether he is alive or dead.

In this battle, more than half of the tens of thousands of Wu troops deployed here to guard the key points were lost, and the casualties of the Chu army were also quite tragic.

Wei Yin Yijiu and the others then cleaned up the battlefield. Li Ran, Wu Yuan, and Sun Wu stood on the mountain at the end of the canyon. Laishan could be vaguely seen from this place.

After the three of them discussed, Li Ran decided to march another ten miles forward and set up two camps on a high ground. The camps could be connected end to end to prevent the Wu army from sneaking in.

The spies soon reported that half of the defeated army in front had joined the Wu army besieging Laishan, and the number was about 3 to [-], but now they had only [-] Chu troops left.

The king of Chu should still be on the mountain at this moment, but he is also exhausted and in danger.

Li Ran knew that it would be very difficult for Wu Jun to send troops over in a short time.But if it takes a long time, it will be hard to say, and according to the situation of the king of Chu, it is only appropriate to make a quick decision at the moment.

Li Ran ordered people to transport all the chariots in the canyon, no matter how good or bad they were, to the camp, and let people patch them up for repairs, and those that could not be repaired were placed in the front of the camp as much as possible, as suspicious soldiers. …

After making some arrangements, he discussed countermeasures with Sun Wu, Wu Yuan, Chuan Fengxu and others.

Since Sun Wu was adhering to the consistent style, he would go to spy on it in person whenever he went, so he was the first to speak:

"Right now Laishan has been completely besieged, and the situation on the mountain is unknown. I wanted to arrest a few more scouts for questioning, but Wu Jun's defenses are very tight. There are many people in a team, echoing back and forth, and wandering around constantly, so there is no chance to attack. "

"And the most urgent thing is to get in touch with the Chu army on the mountain. There are many people on the other side. Without the cooperation of the people on the mountain, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill the Wu army and rescue the king!"

Shen Wuyu also expressed his thoughts.

Wei Yin Yijiu also let out a long sigh at this time:
"Having said that, the Wu army is very guarded. If you want to get in touch with the people on the mountain, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."""

Sun Wu rested his chin with one hand, and frowned.

"Well, this matter is really difficult!"

Wu Yuan glanced at Li Ran.

"I don't know what good plan Mister has?"

Li Ran also pondered for a moment:

"Today is the 29th, and tomorrow is the [-]th. If someone can take advantage of the moonlight and go up the mountain to deliver a message, and when the first lunar month is dark, let the remnants on the mountain come down to cooperate with us, maybe it will work! "

Since the moonlight is not visible for most of the first day of the new year, it is indeed the best time for night raids.

"Since that's the case, Xu Yuan will go!"

At this moment, I saw that Chuan Fengxu, the county magistrate of Chen Guo, had volunteered, intending to go up the mountain alone to report the news.

Chuan Fengxu has a straightforward personality. Li Ran had seen this person before when the King of Chu held a banquet. This was the direct impression Chuan Fengxu left on him.

And the "double spring" between him and the king of Chu before, although it was suspected of being a show, it still shows that this person is indeed a loyal man.

This is true for the previous kings, and it is even more true for the current king of Chu, Xiongwei!
"This trip is very dangerous, Mr. Chen..."

"The widow's kindness to Xu, Xu can't repay even if he dies, Xu is willing to repay him with death!"

Li Ran was not without emotion when he heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Okay! If that's the case, please Chen Gong put on the uniform tonight, and we will cover you with a feint attack! When you go up to the mountain, report the situation to the King of Chu. We will launch a general attack when the time comes. At that time, let them rush down the mountain, and someone will meet them!"

"Here!"

Then, Chuan Fengxu and Sun Wu immediately got out of the camp, went to spy on the terrain again, and waited and see where to go up the mountain from tonight.

The two of them looked around and walked around half a circle, and finally found a small gap.It seems that Wu Jun stayed here on purpose to lure King Chu down the mountain.

Moreover, the mountains here are relatively flat, and the jungle is dense, so it is very easy for a single person to escape.Under such a heavy siege, such a flaw would appear, which really made him feel a little strange.

Sun Wu was also puzzled by this:

"What does that mean?"

"Xu also doesn't know, why don't you look around again, and it won't be too late to make a fuss."

So, the two circled around Mount Lai again and returned. At this time, it was already dark, so they entered the big tent and told them all about what they found.

Hearing this, Li Ran meditated for a while and said in a low voice:
"This country of Wu has such a vicious heart!"

"Oh? What do you mean, sir?"

Sun Wu didn't even think about why Wu Jun had such a layout.

I only heard Li Ran continue to speak along the lines:
"Think about it, who is the one who most hopes that something will happen to King Chu?"

Sun Wu thought about it for a while, and then a suddenly enlightened expression emerged.

"The prince abandons his illness!"

"That's right, Prince Qiji is the person who most hopes that something will happen to the King of Chu, and the King of Chu is currently trapped by the Wu army. If the King of Chu is really killed by the Wu army, what do you think Prince Qiji will do?"

Sun Wu gasped.

"Since holding high the great banner of avenging the king of Chu, using excuses to crusade against the state of Wu, and using this to divert the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties of the state of Chu caused by his succession, it is logical that he can sit on the throne more securely!"

"That's right! The Wu people are obviously aware of this, so they want to let the King of Chu go to Cai Guo alone, so that the crime of killing the King Chu can be transferred to the prince Qiji. Then, the Chu State There will inevitably be chaos, and Prince Qiji will naturally have no reason to crusade against the Wu Kingdom when the time comes!"
