Chapter 62 Xia Miao Hunting
Ruoao Yuejiao got off duty at night and took his men back to Ruoao's mansion with his horse. However, he did not rush back as often as before, but walked very slowly. Wang Sunman's words were constantly grinding in his heart along the way, especially the last news undoubtedly brought an extremely important news. Maybe if he took this opportunity, he could successfully complete what he was thinking without supporting the young master's position.
So he was thinking about how to solve the problem of the 50,000 additional private troops at the Summer Miao Conference tomorrow.
Lu Yiyi reminded him, "Young Master, we are in the mansion, it's time to dismount."
Ruoao Yuejiao was about to come back to his senses, and Ruoao Zike didn't know whether he was waiting for him deliberately or had just stepped down. In the evening of summer, he was standing in front of the gate with a folding fan and greeting him with a smile, "Brother, it seems that he is absent-minded today."
Ruoao Yuejiao Rulang's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then a plot flashed through his eyes. For the current plan, only by joining forces with Ruoao Zike can the winning chances be greater. So he laughed and turned over and dismounted, "No matter how big the problem is, it is not a problem if you have the help of your third brother."
Ruo Ao Zike smiled when he heard this, folded his fan and knocked his palms, and his long, narrow eyes that looked like foxes and said, "Haha, it's easy, brother, I'm about to talk to you."
"Third brother, it's been a long time since I sat in my Canglang Pavilion. Why not have a meal at me and have a good chat with us brothers." Ruoao Yuejiao invited with a smile.
Ruoao Zike also refused everyone, "Okay, I'm very greedy for my sister-in-law's private kitchen skills. After I ate it once last time, I felt that I could eat all the dishes. Although the Zhou family is gone, the Zhou family's family's family still has its own assets. Now Canglang Pavilion is much better than my Baima Hall."
The two of them understood each other's smile and walked into Ruoao's mansion together.
"You are back on patrol? What's going on outside?"
After midnight, in an ordinary small military tent in the palace in the western suburbs, Li Chi saw Aye wearing Ruoao's private military uniforms walking in and asking.
A Ye shook his head slightly with his eyebrows and eyes and said, "No, the private army of Ruo Ao's prince consort outside surrounded the entire camp, and the mobilization tonight will be even more frequent."
Li Chi frowned when he heard this. If possible, he really wanted to leave.
But so many people followed him into Yingdu, he couldn't just take Xian'er away.
As soon as Aye finished speaking, another soldier-dressed attendant Li Chi came in and said, "Master, there was a sudden change in the Western Suburb Camp. Just now, Commander Lu led his men to gather all the commanders of Ruoao. I don't know what he was talking about."
"Abin, then you should take people to monitor us quickly. Although we are trapped here and can't get out, we can't betrayed by Yuejiao."
Li Chi ordered that Abin was alert by nature. He said that if there was a problem, it would definitely be a big deal tonight. Moreover, Yue Jiao is too ambitious, which really makes him unable to rest assured whether tomorrow's Xiamiao Conference will be betrayed by him.
Abin nodded, took a few brothers from the Southern Barbarians to lift the tent and quickly walked out.
Abin learned Chu local dialect well, so he was very familiar with some soldiers in the camp in the western suburbs.
"Abin, you are still on the night tonight!"
A small group of soldiers patrolling saw Abin walking around the camp and greeted him.
Outside, Li Chi and the others were a team of Wu Bairen in the camp in the western suburbs. They happened to meet Lao Niu and the others who knew each other. They nodded and smiled with a lantern, "Yes, the wind outside was tight tonight, and they told us to wake up tonight. Is there any movement there?"
Old Niu wrinkled slightly when he heard this, and then waved to him. Seeing that his expression was strange, Abin approached and hugged his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? Seeing you like this, you're still trying to speak, and you're beaten up by your commander."
Lao Niu La whispered, "Abin, I'm familiar with you, so I told you. I feel very unhappy tonight. Just now, Commander Lu called us over, and then our Commander asked us to unload all the equipment. I don't know what to do. You know, I was going to do a big fight tomorrow, but I think it's in accordance with our lieutenant's posture."
Abin nodded and pulled him and said, "I don't feel so good either. When you say that, I just glanced at Commander Lu from afar. It's weird. It's too far away. I dare not get close."
"At that time, I was listening to my commander over there, and I told you, but I just couldn't understand the arrangements of Commander Lu. The people from the four tribes of Ruoao are now watching Dandan, but we..." Lao Niu pulled Abin to the leeward position, and the two of them said in a slight manner.
People from the Lu side came over, looked at Abin and Lao Niu together, pointed at them and said loudly, "You, you, you! What should you do tonight? What should you do? Don't gather there!"
Lao Niu and Abin shook their heads when they heard this, and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly under the roar of Lu Yi, responding, "Yes, yes, we'll be on the night now, commander."
The two groups of people quickly separated as they said. As soon as Abin turned around, he looked unstable. He led the person back immediately, and then immediately opened the small tent and reported, "Master, the situation is wrong. Now all the defenses in the Xijiao Daying have been removed. I don't know what to do here."
Li Chi clenched his fists and slammed the table with a "boom", then his eyebrows sank and said, "No matter what happens tomorrow, we will find an opportunity to leave and can't stay here anymore. I wonder if the Ruoao brothers will fight tomorrow. It's no longer safe here, and there are many people here tomorrow. My identity will be exposed at any time. Our people must withdraw quickly."
"Aye, Abin, please contact all the brothers of the Southern Barbarians and wait for my order tomorrow." After a while, Li Chi said in his heart.
"Okay, master, we get it."
Aye and Abin went to contact their people separately.
As Jingfeng guarding the periphery, the two brothers Jingyu also noticed the movements in the western suburbs and investigated more closely for anyone who might come out from it.
That night, there were all kinds of changes in the camp in the western suburbs, but there was no such sound of sharpening the knife.
Lu Yi even ordered 50,000 troops to hand over all the swords, guns, swords and halberds on his body overnight, including Li Chi and others, and the changes in the camp defense were even more dazzled. Ruo Ao Yuejiao's plan was completely impossible. However, the more this happened, the more it made Li Chi feel in his heart. He had been in the flood season and thought that after the flood, the summer Miao Conference would be yellow because Yingdu was flooded. Unexpectedly, Chu State was so lucky to have spent the rest of this year.
I really don’t know what will happen at the Summer Seedling Conference tomorrow.
He has been away from Yingdu for many years and has become increasingly unable to see through the thoughts of these upper-class people in Yingdu.
Until the dawn outside passed through the sky and fell on the top of the tent, slowly illuminating Li Chi's handsome three-dimensional facial features, then reflected the man's dull and blood-covered eyes. Facing the first ray of morning light outside, he finally opened the tent and walked out. He suddenly heard a thunderous sound outside the tent. From a distance, 80,000 new troops rushed into the Xijiao hunting ground like a tide.
The black soldiers rushed over like waves, and the phoenix flag of Chu with black background and gold-painted flags fluttered in the wind.
The sound of drumbeats and horns sounded "buzzing".
It overwhelmed the restlessness that night.
The Xijiao hunting ground, which had been silent for too long, once again entered the sight of the nobles and princes of Yingdu. Then, you can see the Chu palace chariots surrounded by soldiers, as well as the carriages of the royal families and ministers, as well as the silver-light chariots, one by one, and the wheels rolled, crushing the green grass hunting ground into a burst of dust, leaving behind loess ruts.
The Zhou ritual system is divided into four seasons of hunting: spring search, summer seedlings, autumn shinings, and winter hunting.
Hunting is to eliminate harm to the fields and protect crops from the destruction of animals; the second is to provide sacrifices to the ancestral temples; the third is to drive chariots and horses, bend bows and rides, mobilize troops, and conduct military training.
The king loves hunting.
How can you hunt?
Hunting to teach martial arts.
Therefore, the main purpose of the Chu army in this Xia Miao hunt was to teach martial arts in the western suburbs, rather than protecting the eastern suburbs. Almost half of the regular and private troops in the Yingdu of Chu State were dispatched.
Just to welcome the arrival of the Zhou Dynasty's "angels".
It can be said that the labor force mobilized many people.
More people than the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
Under the command of Ruoao Yuejiao, the five thousand Tiger Ben Imperial Guards protected the Chu King Mi Huang Ruoao Ziyan and others, and then surrounded them to the high platform, with all the officials following behind.
The black phoenix flag with gold on the black background stood in the flag puerto directly behind the King of Chu's golden couch, and penetrated into the sky. A proud aura overflowed from the black phoenix flag flying in the square of the golden couch. The golden sharp chicken claws came out and pointed directly into the endless sky, as if to make the entire Jiuzhou surrender to her feet from now on.
Eighty thousand new recruits in uniform scattered along the endless hunting ground in the western suburbs and along the high platform, like a fire phoenix, showing off her brightest wings in front of the envoys of the Zhou emperor.
Not only did Li Chi frown when he saw this scene, but even the angels of Zhou Dynasty who were invited were covered in dust.
"Why are there so many people in the Chu army?"
Deputy Envoy Li, who was injured and could only sit, looked at the Chu army with a panic of people and horses in the hunting ground in a shocked look. As long as they moved casually, they could feel the ground trembling under their feet, let alone a seriously injured person like him.
"If I, Cheng Zhou Luoyi, wouldn't it be over if I was besieged by them?"
Some angels even fought in fear, with a pale face. The demeanor of the Celestial Empire was lost in front of the army.
Among all the angels, only Wang Sunman is still standing calmly at the front and can keep smiling.
"Yes, so we have to work hard for all of you."
"You can't be underestimated by the barbarians of Chu."
The other envoys didn't say anything secretly. Such strength could not be caught up with by the Zhou Dynasty's efforts. Only Jin, the overlord of the northern Central Plains, could match it.
