The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 23: Fooling Shi Converse

The [-] cavalry troops gathered together from east to west quietly left the city from the east gate, divided into two groups, and headed towards the Khitan camp on the bank of the Zhang River in the distance due north, quickly blending into the night.

Zhu Xiu mingled with the infantry led by Shi Kuangwei. A quarter of an hour later, he left the city from the west gate and headed southeast of the Khitan camp, where he ambush under a mound.

The whole army did not light up any fire, marching under the moonlight, as quietly as a ghost army.

Zhu Xiu rode a docile gray donkey, surrounded by a dozen infantry commanders riding tall horses.

The gray donkey was thin and short, and Zhu Xiu himself was short, so he seemed to stand out among a group of sturdy men.

The soldiers all cast friendly and curious glances at this new colleague, and whispers could not be heard.

I heard that this young man was the inventor of the Black Fire Thunder. I heard that he was captured by the Khitan people as a slave since he was a child. I heard that he had a master who was a hermit master. I heard that he was the reincarnation of Thunder God.
Zhu Xiu didn't take it seriously at first. He tightened the reins and clamped his legs tightly. He carefully controlled the donkey and learned the riding skills attentively.
But when he heard the back, black lines hung on his forehead, what the hell is Lei Gong's reincarnation?

Zhu Xiu glared at Shi Kuangwei angrily, blaming this guy for talking nonsense.

Shi Kuangwei rode a tall, black Hexi horse, more than half his body taller than Zhu Xiu, and deliberately slowed down to march alongside Zhu Xiu.

The big horse in Hexi didn't bother to go head-to-head with a donkey, and snorted heavily, making the gray donkey tremble and scream "咴咴" in fear.

Shi Kuangwei patted the horse's neck before calming the Hexi horse.

From the moist and bright eyes of the big black horse, Zhu Xiu clearly saw a horse mocking her.

Shi Kuangwei looked down, shook his head and said, "What a good man, I'm too timid to ride a donkey! I'll teach you how to ride a horse when you return to the city tomorrow!"

Zhu Xiu curled his lips and said lazily: "Thank you Shi Jieshuai for your kindness, but I don't have high requirements for the mount. It can be used as a stable means of transportation. I'm afraid such heroic things as galloping on the battlefield will have nothing to do with me in this life." .”

Shi Kuangwei cursed with hatred: "You brat has no ambition! In these troubled times, it is the time for men to make contributions on the battlefield, how could it be irrelevant? If you are my son, just for these words, I will beat your ass Into eight petals!”

Zhu Xiugan smiled and said: "You must be as handsome as Shi Jieshuai, like a black-faced King Kong, so majestic! There is no way I can compare with you! This is called self-knowledge and has nothing to do with ambition.

Besides, building a career does not necessarily require fighting on the battlefield!Manpower will eventually be limited, but the power of science and technology is endless!For example, if the black fire thunder were ten times more powerful and ten times more numerous, just imagine what kind of scene it would be like? "

Zhu Xiu winked at him teasingly.

Shi Kuangwei had a dark face and was speechless for a while. The movement of a black fire thunder seemed to him to be earth-shattering. It was a hundred times more powerful. He could not imagine what a terrifying scene that would destroy the world!
Seeing that he was choked, Zhu Xiu was beaming with joy.

If you want to talk about talking, he is not afraid of tying ten Skuangwei together.

Shi Kuangwei looked around, then suddenly bent down and whispered: "Hey kid, Black Fire Thunder, is this really a unique skill passed down by your master?"

Zhu Xiu proudly cupped his hands to the north and said: "My teacher is pedantic about heaven and man, and the mere black fire thunder is just a small way, not worth mentioning!"

Shi Kuangwei didn't have the urge to beat anyone this time. He frowned with thick reptilian eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully.

"It would be great if I could invite your master to come and see me in Jingzhou."

Shi Converse suddenly muttered.

Zhu Xiu rolled his eyes and almost blurted out, "What are you thinking about?" and laughed dryly: "My master has been hiding from the world for a long time. Now his health is deteriorating. I am afraid that he will die in Tanzhou. Alas, I don't know if I will have a chance to see my master again!" "Zhu Xiu whimpered, raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Skuangwei stroked his curly beard and stared at Zhu Xiu, making him hairy all over.

"How much did your boy learn from Mr. Siyou?"

Zhu Xiu's eyes rolled, "Well, my teacher's wisdom is as deep as the sea, so naturally I can't compare to him."

Shi Kuangwei didn't want to listen to these lies, and interrupted with a snort: "Jingzhou is exhausted. If you were asked to govern it, what would you do?"

Zhu Xiu was startled, then touched his bald head and said: "Jingzhou is the northwest gateway to Guanzhong. It is a dangerous place with mountains and rivers. It has many valleys, hills and ravines. The cultivated land is not small but mostly fragmented. It has abundant water resources but lacks dredging. And Jingzhou faces the Tubo and Meng Shu, who had separatist territories, threatened them, causing frequent wars and overwhelming the people. If we want to govern Jingzhou, we must first improve people's livelihood, enrich the people first, and then strengthen the army!"

Shi Kuangwei stared at him, silent for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Have you been to Jingzhou?"

Zhu Xiu coughed and shook his head: "My mentor often compares himself to Kong Ming and Fang Du. Before leaving Tanzhou, the world's situation has already gathered in his heart! I have been influenced by my ears and eyes, so I naturally know something about it!"

Shi Kuangwei took a deep breath, sat upright, and murmured: "There are really such talented people in the world!"

The corner of Zhu Xiu's mouth curled up, a little proud. The more these guys believed in Mr. Siyou, the more valued he was as Mr. Siyou's unique disciple.

Without the teachings of such a hermit master, how could Zhu Xiu, a mere young man with his hair tied back, create a weapon as powerful as the Black Fire Thunder?
This unfounded identity is very consistent with current people's inferences.

After all, China has been in war for many years, and it is not surprising that talented people have taken refuge in hiding.

Zhu Xiu was riding a gray donkey, swaying and humming a tune, without noticing at all that behind him, Shi Kuangwei's pair of bull's eyes were scary.

Half an hour after arriving at the ambush site, the Khitan camp in the northwest lit up with flames, and shouts of killing came from far away.

Hundreds of felt tents were set on fire, countless Khitan soldiers rushed out of the tents, and the entire camp fell into chaos.

A messenger arrived on horseback: "Report to General Shi, the Left Guards are the first to attack the camp. The Khitans are on guard, and the Left Guards are surrounded!"

Shi Kuangwei snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Let's explore again!"

Soon, another message came back: "Chai Yashuai led the army to set fire to the Khitan food and grass, entered from the west of the camp, set fires everywhere, and severely injured the enemy!"

Shi Kuangwei then chuckled and ordered his troops to head towards the Khitan camp to prepare for the retreating cavalry.

"Five hundred soldiers are digging a horse trap here, and you kid just stay here. The war is in chaos in the middle of the night. If you run away, you may be caught by the Khitan people and become a rabbit master!"

Shi Kuangwei put on a threatening face, Zhu Xiu rolled his eyes and obediently agreed.

After Shi Kuangwei led most of the infantry to leave, Zhu Xiucai excused himself to go to the latrine, got rid of the personal bodyguards assigned to him by Shi Kuangwei, took the gray donkey, and took a long way to the Khitan camp where the flames were blazing.

Madoka's revenge has not yet been avenged.

As far as he is concerned, unless Liu Chengyou dies, he cannot stay with Chai Rong with peace of mind.

So no matter what, he would take a gamble and fight to kill Liu Chengyou!
