Chapter 153: Seeking the Country and Preparing the City


Xiao Man's face was pale, he staggered back two steps, and held on to the door frame, the sword in his hand had hung down.

In her heart, from childhood to adulthood, she has always been a kind and immaculate mother, and suddenly became a cruel murderer who assassinated an innocent and weak girl in order to compete for favor.

"You lied to me, you must lie to me" Ji Sun Xiaoman didn't dare to face this reality, she raised her sword, but she seemed to be unable to hold it steadily, and the blade shook gently.

"I didn't lie to you Ji Zifei has no heirs, as soon as I was pregnant, she did this.

Because of the failure, Ji Sun Zifei was not allowed to do so, and Aifu committed suicide in shame.

Mrs.

Cheng Bi gently tied the ribbon around her waist, and there was a hint of hatred in her eyes: "The person who was ordered to assassinate me is the first swordsman of the Lu Kingdom, the first master of the Ji family, Yuan Su, and now the boss of Lu Ju, Yuan Gong."

Otherwise, a first-class swordsman, why do you think he would become a lewd restaurant owner?"

Her voice sharpened, and she said coldly: "Because he felt pity when he stabbed down with a sword, he avoided the vital point in my heart, and he was disloyal to Mrs.

Ai's mission; The dignified swordsman of the country of Lu was poisoned to a lonely and helpless weak woman, causing her to almost die tragically, because of injustice. was so disloyal and unrighteous that he sealed his sword and became a restaurant owner, drunk and dreamed of death for many years. ” Ji Sun Xiaoman shouted in panic: "I don't believe it" She stepped back again and again, her face covered with tears.

Since being spied on, she changed her mind that Mrs.

Cheng Bi would be ruined and life worse than death, and hid in the house where her uncle and grandson Shaoguang lived, this house was the most gorgeous residence in the valley at present, she expected that Mrs.

Cheng Bi would come here if she rested, but she didn't expect to hear such a news tonight that she couldn't bear it.

She retreated with tears, suddenly shouted, turned around and ran out, her body was like electricity, when she ran to the wall, she flicked her sleeves up, and she didn't know what was flying out of her sleeves, and she hooked the horizontal trunk of a big tree outside the wall with a whoosh, and with a pull, the whole body rose into the air like a bird, and flew away in the air.

"Who is standing there" The soldiers patrolling outside the courtyard suddenly noticed that a large bird-like thing flew out of the lady's residence, and as soon as it touched the ground, it was like a spirit ape, and ran into the shadows, and could not help but chase after it in horror.

Mrs.

Cheng Bi staggered to the door, leaned on the window weakly and helplessly, gently pressed her hand on her abdomen, looked at the sky and a cold clear moon, and said sadly: "You hate me, who should I hate Although the sword did not kill me, but killed my unborn child, you think I want everything now I would rather give up everything, as long as I can never have these nightmares that I have experienced in your Ji family."

After Cheng Bi finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and held on to the door, his shoulders twitched, and he sobbed silently The tickling stopped, the defenses outside the courtyard were strengthened, the door of Mrs.

Chengbi's room was closed, and the moonlight spread the cold of the day all over the land, and the quiet atmosphere enveloped the valley.

On the big tree in the courtyard, Qingji quietly appeared, sitting on a thick trunk that stretched horizontally, he hung the crossbow aside, his legs hanging under the branches, and shook gently.

Night Dew wet his clothes, and it was a long time before he sighed softly Ji Sun Xiaoman went, like Hongfei, and there was no news again, and she didn't even take the luggage she left at the Xingyuan Inn.

Diao Ming and the others waited for two more days and had no news, so they had to go back to Qufu in despair.

Mrs.

Cheng Bi was affected by the tragic past brought about by Ji Sun Xiaoman's arrival, and she also cheered up after being depressed for a few days.

After all, people can't live for the past, and only when there is a future can there be hope.

The unbearable summer time gradually passed, the autumn wind quietly blew the yellow leaves, and the forest withered.

A majestic Flying Fox City already stands in the middle of the valley, and the avenue in front of the mountain gate is full of traffic, full of salt merchants from the south to the north, most of whom are self-operated branches under the Ji family.

A river was built under the mountain, the lake water poured down from the mountain, directly into the Jun River in the east, and a stone bridge was built on the road that originally went north to the Qi country, so that the water flow through, even the wharf was saved, and the salt transported from the coast could be directly transported to the Flying Fox City, stored here, loaded and transported, and then sold to the western countries.

Because the Sanhuan garrison was stationed in various nearby cities, Mengshan Cangxia Ridge calmed down, there was no movement for a long time, when the autumn wind gradually rose, the news came, and there was a big robbery of the city and plundering the village on the side of the Qi State, nearly a thousand thieves attacked a small city at night, and plundered a large number of wealthy women.

The robbers openly robbed the city, and today, except for Zhan Xuan, there is no second person with this strength, and the generals stationed nearby by Qingji and Sanhuan were secretly relieved when they heard the news.

The matter is obvious, Zhan Nao saw that he couldn't do anything, and he had quietly left Cangxialing and started the business of plundering the world again.

Sanhuan connived at Zhan Zhi as a thief, and sat back to watch his power grow bigger and bigger, which was originally intentional.

In order to protect the territory and the people, the princes of various countries had to arrange a large number of garrisons to guard some rich places and communication arteries, and dispersed a large number of troops, which was what the three Huan of Lu were happy to see.

Therefore, after hearing the news that Zhan Nao went to Qi to loot again, Sanhuan also consciously kept a safe distance from Zhan Nao's Cangxia Ridge lair, acquiescing to his existence, but not allowing him to expand his territory, and the two sides temporarily reached a tacit understanding.

At this time, the sound of killing in the inner valley of Flying Fox Ridge was shaking the sky, and the training of groups of soldiers was in full swing.

At this time, there were about 3,000 soldiers in the valley, all of whom were poor children who were physically strong and able to endure hardships and stand hard work.

Qingji recruited troops everywhere, under the guise of transporting salt and strong men, and when he recruited people, he selected those who were strong and clean in the training and sent them to the back mountain, and trained them in full accordance with militarized standards, which was the team he used to form the army.

The salt wagons had to be transported to various countries, the mountains and rivers were far away, the roads were long, and the mountain thieves and water thieves were too much to disturb along the way, and a large number of armed forces were required to escort them.

Generally speaking, at least 100 carts of salt are shipped to various countries at one time, and the chief and deputy emperors need 200 people, and the salt guards need at least 300 people, so it is not uncommon for Qingji to recruit thousands of people.

Each team has a little success, and they are sent out to make salt, long-distance training, and can make money, and the vacant quota recruits new soldiers, so how many soldiers and horses Qingji really recruits, outsiders can not be estimated.

In addition to practicing martial arts three times a day, these soldiers also had to open up mountain fields, pick wild fruits, make fine wine, cut wood for sale, hunt wild beasts, and sell skins, so as to strengthen their bodies and be self-sufficient in these activities.

This is a measure of self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency.

At that time, the training of the army was actually extremely limited, and there were not many things that they needed to master, and they had the basic standards to be able to beat the drum and march forward, and to obey the orders and obey the order, not to mention that at that time, all the people were soldiers, and these physically strong soldiers already had the foundation of technical combat and basic knowledge of the army, and they could fight with a little training.

However, Qingji's training still has some focus, that is, siege warfare.

At that time, the city was the political, economic, and cultural center of a country and a place, with a dense population and a prominent position, and it was a battleground in a normal war between the two countries.

Moreover, the farmer's family had no surplus grain, and most of the grain produced every year had to be paid to the owner of the feudal province and transported into the city, and as long as there was living water in the city, even if he was trapped for two years, he would be safe and sound.

Moreover, the side attacking in the field had no danger to defend the city, and could not afford to bear the consumption of long-distance transportation of grain and grass, and at the same time, the other side could also take the initiative to launch a counteroffensive based on the city, and it was impractical to fight a war of attrition or encircle the city in the countryside under the economic conditions at that time.

In the past, ancient books often said that a certain city is a place where soldiers must fight, in fact, there is no Great Wall around the city, why the attacking side can not besiege or go around the city without attacking in the case of strength can not far exceed the other party, and the reason for attacking the next target is this.

With Ji Guang already in control of the power of Wu State, Qingji is the subversive side, and the strength of the two sides is by no means equal, he has to take the initiative to launch a siege war, and he must succeed as soon as possible with lightning tactics, otherwise the other party can calmly dispatch and dispatch various armies to form a situation of encirclement and suppression, so the main training subjects of the soldiers are all around the siege.

In the use of various siege methods and siege equipment, Qingji has put a lot of effort into it.

The city is a closed fortress, not only has a firm and thick tall city wall and a strict city gate, but also the city wall also builds piers, platform towers and other facilities at certain intervals, and sets up a moat and moat outside the city wall, it can be said that there are layers of fortification, strict barriers, it is not easy to capture the city, which requires the use of a large number of siege equipment, mainly climbing tools, excavation tools and tools to destroy the city wall and city gates.

The training items in the Qingji army are mainly to build and attack the mountain, climb the city with hook ladders, dig tunnels, and use the tools such as ladders, building cars, punching wood, moth fu, xuanche, spraying, etc., some of which have not yet been invented at that time, or still only have a prototype, and are full of defects.

Qingji invented them one by one according to his own insights, and it was complete.

Since he had already invented toothbrushes, stone grinders, frying pans, etc., in the minds of the soldiers, this Yang Bin Yang Grand Steward was a wise man who was good at the study of organs, and no one doubted it.
