Competing

Chapter 364

lottery?Choosing this way, Si Ming smiled wryly when he heard what his elder brother said, with a little disappointment in his eyes.But it's not hopeless, at least there is still half the chance of drawing lots, but I don't know... Si Ming looked at his elder brother Si Yao, and his mood was extraordinarily complicated...

While speaking, Si Yao wrote two words on the white silk, one was "war" and the other was "surrender"!Then one by one loyal guards were called to put it in the bamboo cup, and they exchanged places behind Si Yao.After placing them, Si Yao personally chooses one of them.

When the two upside-down bamboo cups were placed on the desk, everyone was staring at the two bamboo cups and Si Yao's powerful hands.His casual move is related to the future of Dongou and the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Si Yao also took a deep breath, and her mouth trembled a little as she moved back and forth between the two bamboo cups, making it difficult to make a decision.Everyone held their breath, the air in the big tent was unusually heavy, and everyone's eyes followed Si Yao's hand back and forth.

This moment was too tense, and finally Si Yao's big hand landed on the bamboo cup on the right. At that moment, everyone felt the same feeling, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.All eyes were on the cup under Si Yao's right hand, that was the key...

Si Yao breathed a sigh of relief. As the actual chooser, it is understandable that he is under more pressure than others.Si Yao looked up at the crowd, let out another breath, and opened the cup.Then he opened the white silk in front of everyone and showed it to everyone, and a huge "war" character was displayed in front of everyone.

Si Yao didn't look at it, but he knew it after seeing everyone's reaction, not to mention...he already knew it.Si Ming's pupils shrank suddenly, horror and loss, as well as deep helplessness and worry flooded into his heart.After Ou Yong saw it, he showed joy.

"Brother Wang, no, our army has very little chance of winning this battle. For my Dongou people, don't go to war!" Si Yao seemed to want to make a final effort, and tried to persuade him, hoping to change his decision.

Before Si Yao could answer, Ou Yong immediately said: "Minghou, everyone agreed just now, and it was decided by lottery. Since the war is drawn, it means that it is God's will. Are you going against God's will and let us all be prisoners, where are we going?" Is Yin Xu begging for mercy?"

Si Ming shook his head and said, "No, it's not..."

After opening his mouth, he realized how weak his words were. Si Ming turned to his elder brother for help.

The corner of Si Yao's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Since it's God's will, then it should be like this. Everyone, let's go back and prepare for war!"

In a word, Si Ming was completely helpless, even a little desperate.He was thinking of saying something else, but seeing his brother Si Yao's determined expression, he turned around and left silently.

Afterwards, all the Dongou generals left the tent of the Chinese army. As for their moods, they were completely different. Several families were happy and family was sad, this world has always been like this.

After everyone left, Si Yao raised her head and let out a long breath.Immediately, she looked down at the two cups on the table, one was opened and the other was still upside down, concentrating on it for a long time, Si Yao forced a special wry smile from the corner of her mouth.Then he opened another cup, picked up the white silk underneath and stretched it towards the light.

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, the lights flickered, and the white silk was stretched out. In the fluttering, the word "war" was faintly visible.Immediately, the flames ignited and instantly turned into ashes...

Si Yao let out a long sigh, he was also helpless!He didn't know how Wu Zhu was willing to bend over to Yin Xu.Although he is an unrecognized vassal, he can be regarded as a vassal. At the age of dozens of years, he really can't do it if he wants to bow his head to a person who is about the same age as his son.

Especially now, it is even more unacceptable to surrender in embarrassment before fighting.Maybe before that, he was really disheartened and desperate, and that's why he asked everyone to discuss it.But when Ou Yong said the plan of feigning surrender, he felt that there was still a chance, and hope was rekindled in his heart.Taking advantage of the absence of the main force of the Yue Kingdom, they broke through the barrier and went directly north to Shanyin.

But the people's deliberation and decision had already been said. When Si Yao sighed, there was a seven to seven situation. I hope it will happen again. Maybe the heavens are helping me!So draw lots to see God's will, everything is under my control...

Si Yao let out a long sigh, hoping that her decision was not wrong, God bless her!

……

Yandang Mountain is located on the north bank of the Oujiang River. After Dongou crossed the Oujiang River first, the Yue army lost its defensive barrier.King Yin Xu of Yue ordered Zhou Da and Lu Ming to go to Yandang Mountain to build fortresses and camps along the mountains to build a one-day line of defense to prevent the Dongou army from going north.

Speaking of which, among the several generals under King Yue, Zhou Da and Lu Ming were indeed slightly inferior, and could only be regarded as successful generals.Therefore, Yin Xu arranged the two of them in Yandang Mountain to guard the eastern defense line.Zhou Da and Lu Ming are also conscientious, at least until now, everything is doing well.

"Miss Luluo, you are really a genius. I was a rough man before, and I don't know how to be flexible. Otherwise, I don't need to bother Miss Luluo to go there by myself." Looking at the newly completed, solid and comprehensive camp, Zhou Da couldn't help but make a sound. commend.

Standing next to her was a graceful woman, dressed in an elegant yellow-green dress, with an elegant temperament, she smiled softly: "It's just a little effort for Lu Luo, General Zhou is polite... Besides, Lu Luo has never seen it before, so I don't know where it is. The terrain, the design of the fort and the camp pattern are indeed a bit out of date... On the contrary, it is embarrassing for General Zhou."

The previous fortresses and camps were built, but under Si Yao's several tentative attacks, they couldn't achieve the desired effect at all.In desperation, Zhou Da sent a letter asking Luluo to come in person.The talented girl went out and got her hands ready, but everything was successfully completed in three or two days.

Zhou Da chuckled, knowing that Lu Luo was being polite to him, respectful and polite.In front of the soldiers, he was tall and thick, and mighty, but in front of Luluo...he had already got some information from the soldiers escorting Luluo, knowing that this woman not only saved the king's life, but was also a talented woman with a lot of knowledge, and was also a good friend of the king. The relationship between...

Perhaps after this battle is over, this woman will be in charge of the Yue Palace. Zhou Da is happy to see her success and applauds.They were all aware of Li Yuniang's affairs, Yin Xu was alone all these years, quite melancholy.What's more, now that you are the lord of Yue, and a beauty deserves a hero, you should be accompanied by a beautiful woman.Now that Yin Xu has finally found a confidante, Zhou Dake is sincerely happy for Yin Xu.

Therefore, since Luluo came to Yandang Mountain, he has made him a guest of honor, and specially selected two gentle and hardworking women from nearby towns to serve Luluo.For the future Princess Yue, Zhou Da did his best and did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

Zhou Da laughed and said: "The letter from the flying pigeon of the king has arrived, and Minyue has surrendered. However, the situation in South Vietnam is still unclear, so the army is temporarily stationed on the north bank of the Minjiang River. I think there will be a decision later, maybe it will be done in a few days." return……"

Luluo nodded lightly, looking far away, to the unreachable south.Zhou Da saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart, it seemed all right.Looking at Miss Luluo's passionate eyes towards Yin Xu, Zhou Da knew what he did was right.

Zhou Da laughed and asked: "Miss Luluo, should I send you back to Shanyin first? Or should you stay in Yandang Mountain to see the scenery and wait for the king to come back, and return together?"

On this matter, Zhou Da did not dare to make his own claims.After Luluo heard it, her pretty face blushed a little, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Lu Ming just came in a hurry, and Lu Luo's dilemma was avoided.I saw Lu Ming holding a silk book, with a pleasant expression on his face, but also a little dignified.After Zhou Dayuan saw it, he shouted, "Lu Ming, what happened?"

"Miss Luluo!"

Lu Ming came closer and greeted Luluo first. No one dared to neglect Princess Zhunyue.Then he said: "Dongou Siyao sent someone to send a surrender form, saying that she wants to surrender to us!"

"Dongou surrendered? Really?" Zhou Da was also pleasantly surprised.

"Look!" Lu Ming said, and handed over the silk book in his hand.

Zhou Da didn't know a few words, but Luluo stretched out her hand first, and took the silk book in her hand, between which was written: "The minister Dong Ou Siyao, who grew up in the land of Ouyue... the sword is pointed and there is nothing before it." ...Chen Si Yao is willing to lead the civil and military... on the table to return to fate!"

The signature on the back is Si Yao, Lord of the Eastern Ou, it is indeed a letter of surrender...

Zhou Da was pleasantly surprised: "They really want to surrender? That's really great!"

Lu Ming was also quite excited, and said: "I think it's because Si Yao received the news of Minyue's defeat and surrender, and was intimidated by the power of our country and the king. Rather than waiting to be annihilated, it's better to surrender voluntarily. According to the envoy from Dongou, He said, this surrender table was written by Si Yao himself, which shows his sincerity!"

Lu Luo at the side asked in surprise, "Is this surrender form written by Si Yao himself?"

"Yes, that's what the envoy said. There's no need to lie about such a trivial matter. It would be embarrassing if it is exposed later." Lu Ming responded casually. discuss.

Lu Mingdao: "Si Yao said that the king is not here now and is willing to surrender directly to us, what should we do?"

Zhou Da pondered for a while, and said: "How about Fei Ge passing a letter to the king and waiting for the order?"

"It stands to reason that this should be the case. Although Feige is quick to pass the letter, it takes a lot of time to press the hydraulic pressure back and forth. If Si Yao regrets it. Or think that we neglected him and something happened, it would be bad... ..."

"Strange..." Lu Luo looked at Si Yao's surrender, with a little doubt in her beautiful eyes.Especially after looking up and seeing the excited expressions of Zhou Da and Lu Ming, he reminded: "Two generals, be careful, if Si Yao's trick is to surrender...you have to figure it out and be prepared."
