Competing

Chapter 244 I have an idea
The night came quickly, and the crescent moon was much brighter. The faint moonlight shone down, and the faint light on the line of Baishui Gorge revealed something unusual.

The northwest wind that has been silent for a long time came to the land of Jingchu again today, and the valley in the east-south direction happened to come out of the wind outlet.The strong wind poured into the canyon, and the occasional narrow pipe effect made a whistling wind roar!
On one side of the canyon is the camp of the Yue people. When we arrived here at noon, we saw this dangerous or dangerous terrain.Yue Wang Yin Xu and the guard Su An were a little worried, so they stopped here and camped for a night to check the situation.

The Yue soldiers had eaten their meals early and entered the camp to rest. There were not many sentry posts on the periphery.Su An's arrangement is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, not to mention there will be action at night.

After the shadow of the moon was secretly hidden on the ridge, there was movement in the Yueguo camp.Su An led a team of troops, quietly walked out of the camp and headed towards the mouth of the valley.In addition to the usual clothes, there is an extra wet towel on his face!The cold weather brought Zhuge uncomfortable, but it was necessary!

Quietly sneaked to the mouth of the valley, sprinkled tung oil on the torch, and piles of dry firewood were already ready.As a result, a big fire was ignited at the mouth of the valley. It had not rained for a long time in early February, and the branches and shrubs were abnormally dry. The fire quickly ignited along the mouth of the valley.

The northwest wind was just blowing, and the wind helped the fire, and the billowing smoke rushed into Baishui Gorge.Su An looked at the scene in front of him, laughed, and turned back to report to Yue Wang Yin Xu.

In the valley, Lu Matong is waiting with his people, this is the place Yin Xudong must pass through on his way back.If he made a detour, he would have to travel a few more days, so Lu Matong was not worried that Yin Xu would not come.This kind of terrain is the best ambush location in the vicinity of Baili.

Seeing the arrival of the Yue people, but stopped at the mouth of the valley, Lu Matong was somewhat depressed.It can be seen from this that Yin Xu is still very cautious. It is conceivable that when he passes by, he will send someone to scout the way first.For this, they have already made preparations.

When they didn't expect it, the Yue people explored the way ahead of time, and the way surprised them a little.While they were waiting happily, thick smoke billowed in along the valley.The subordinates ran over to report: "General, leave quickly, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"What happened?" Lu Matong asked angrily.

"The Yue people set fire to the mouth of the valley, and the fire entered the valley along with the wind!"

When Lu Matong heard this, let alone how angry he was. Hasn't the northwest wind stopped?Why today... He was still lucky for this before.In the mountains, there is a mountain breeze during the day and a valley breeze at night. The wind blows from the valley to the outside, so the effect of fire attacks is limited.But now...

Could it be that the sky does not help me, is it that the sky does not let me make meritorious deeds and become a marquis?For a while, Lu Matong's mood was extremely complicated, and he was also extremely depressed.Obviously his ambush plan failed, if he stayed a little longer, his life might be in danger!
For a while, all the soldiers of Chu State lurking in the valley withdrew quickly. Of course, many people were crying and coughing under the baptism of thick smoke.When fleeing in a hurry, Gu Gu saw that a heavy object fell occasionally, which just happened to confirm the thoughts in Yin Xu, Su An and others.

At dawn, Baishui Gorge has become dark and bare!Occasionally, when a gust of wind blew, the sky was filled with black and gray, revealing the huge rocks below.This was originally prepared by the Chu people for throwing and attacking the Yue people.As a result, they wasted a lot of effort, and there were only a few black stones on the mountain!

In the early morning, upon learning of such a result, Yin Xu and Su An looked at each other and smiled.It seems that the guess is correct, the pursuers are still ruthless and want to strike while the iron is hot.It's a pity that they chose the place and the wrong timing, and the result can be imagined.The surrounding Deng Lingmo never showed up, so that up to now, the guards of the Yue Kingdom, including Su An, did not know of their existence.

For Yin Xu, it feels like this is the best way, only the light and the dark can complement each other!Unknowingly, Xichu's first pursuit of Yin Xu ended like this. From the beginning to the end, the Yue National Guard never took over from the enemy.The battle is over before it begins.

Yin Xu and the others set off immediately, embarking on the road back to the east. The road ahead is long and full of dangers.Yin Xu has already made mental preparations for this, and is confident to deal with all difficulties. The only thing he worries about is the [-] troops in Wei State. What happened to them?
In Xin'an, when Xiang Yu's entrustment had not yet started, Yin Xulai sent a letter to ask Pu Jun to prepare well and deal with any situation at any time.After the identity and title of King Yin Xuyue were confirmed, the second secret letter was sent to Xin'an as quickly as possible.

These 3 people are Yin Xu's entire capital, and there is no room for any mistakes, so naturally, he is extraordinarily caring about everything.Fearing that the slightest change will happen, if the whole army is wiped out because of this, Yin Xu doesn't know what state he will be in!Do you still have enough courage and confidence to fight and fight?

It's a shame that Fan Zeng is so scheming, he thought of some harmful ideas, and he was thinking about it as early as when Xin'an killed and surrendered.Separate Yin Xu from his army. On the one hand, there is no leader among the dragons, and on the other hand, they are isolated and helpless, so that they can be defeated one by one.

After the enfeoffment, Yin Xu could have justifiedly returned to Xin'an and brought his army back to the fiefdom of Yue State.However, because Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were bothered by Emperor Yi Xiong Xin and the control of several southern princes and kings, Yin Xu could not join the army and had to return to Yue Kingdom separately!

Fortunately, Yin Xu has Pu Jun, such a talented and loyal general.Yin Xu didn't dare to think, how could he feel at ease without Pu Jun presiding over the overall situation in Xin'an?Will Guan Zhong Command still have its place?Pu Jun is too important to his own pain.

Now that Yin Xu himself is in Linjiang Country, he can only pin all his hopes on Pu Jun, hoping to see them return safely the day they return to Shanyin!

Somewhere in the hometown of Wei State, an army under the flag of Yue happened to set up camp again. It was Pu Jun and Su Jiao who returned from the east, and the only [-] elite under the command of Yue King Yin Xu!
In the camp, the chief general Pu Jun and Su Jiao are discussing the military situation!
Su Jiao was a good man, since he was defeated by Yin Xu in the Battle of Julu, and then he surrendered with sincerity.He has always been relatively obedient, and gradually adapted to the new master, especially after experiencing the bloody tragedy in Xin'an.They were even more fortunate, how lucky and wise they were to surrender to Yin Xu!Otherwise, this kind of tragedy will also be imposed on me, so my affection and loyalty to Yin Xu have taken a step further!
Even if Fan Zeng deliberately forced Yin Xu to stay in the army, and Yin Xu asked Pu Jun to stay before leaving, Su Jiao didn't care at all.And it is Pu Jun's existence that relieves him of a lot of pressure, allowing more than 2 Vietnamese soldiers who were born in Qin to survive well!

Now that Yin Xu has been granted the title of King of Yue, and has a place, even though they have to leave their hometown and go to the strange Jiangdong Yue Kingdom, they have no complaints or regrets.The state of Qin has already perished, so where is the home for these former heroes of the state of Qin?On the contrary, it is Yue Kingdom, where there will be a new world. Su Jiao believes that under the leadership of Yue King Yin Xu, the future will be bright!
Of course, all of this is based on the top priority, to bring the army back to the Yue Kingdom in Jiangdong smoothly.Su Jiao knew very well that the 3 troops were the basis for Yin Xunai's survival and development.Moreover, most of these [-] people are their own avenues and robes, and neither public nor private want them to suffer half a point of damage and injury!
He had just left Xin'an these few days and was heading southeast all the way, Su Jiao was always a little uneasy, feeling as if something was going to happen.So come over to discuss with Pu Jun and come up with a countermeasure or strategy!

"General Pu!"

"General Su!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Jiao sighed: "General Pu, to tell you the truth, I've always been a little uneasy these past two days, as if something was about to happen, so I came here to talk to you!" character, so he spoke his mind straight to the point.

Pu Jun said: "When we return to Yue Kingdom this time, we are like the King of Yue. I don't know how many people are staring at us, so this journey may not be peaceful. It's normal to be uneasy. Maybe something will happen in these two days. You must be on guard!"

Su Jiao nodded, and sighed softly: "No, it doesn't matter to us, after all, there are [-] hot-blooded sons around, at worst, if we fight with them, we can kill a bloody road. But King Yue, who is alone now, There are only Bozhou and the former guards around, which always makes people feel very uneasy!"

Pu Jun took this very seriously, and sighed: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Fan Zeng intentionally kept us here, just to let the king of Yue be alone, and then find a way to deal with it. The Western Chu State had a premeditated plan, so King Yue’s journey back to the east this time is full of difficulties. I don’t know if Bo Zhou can protect King Yue Zhouquan?”

Pu Jun thought to himself, if he followed Yin Xu, he might not be much better than Su An.At least I can do my best and seek peace of mind, but now that I am thousands of miles away, I can only worry so much, which is really uncomfortable!
Su Jiao thought for a while, then pondered: "The King of Yue is resourceful and resourceful. With him personally in charge, it shouldn't be a big problem. What we can do now is to bring these 3 horses and return to the State of Yue safely so that we can live up to the great trust of the King of Yue. !"

Although this is meant to be a bit of psychological comfort, it is true in fact. It is thousands of miles away, and the worry is true, but it is beyond the reach of the whip.The only thing we can do is to deal with the matter in front of us. Fortunately, the contribution of the 3 people to Yue Guo and Yin Xu is self-evident!

Su Jiao said: "We have to pass through the Western Chu Kingdom ahead, will Xiang Yu..." Su Jiao didn't go on, but he already expressed his worries.

Pu Jun sighed: "That's right, Xiang Yu is invincible now, and the Western Chu Kingdom is his territory. If he wants to...so I have an idea to discuss with General Su..."
