Chapter 117 Chapter 6 All Trees Are Soldiers

in the main account. After the two of them sat down on the floor, Qu Douqi said with a tense face: "Whether the Taifu wants to change the itinerary temporarily, I don't know why?" Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that even King Zhuang Xiang let him go about his affairs, and now he is asking you such a futuristic question, so he knows that he has no status in the Qin military, at best he is just a favorite of Qin Jun and Lu Buwei's confidant. Holding back his breath, he said, "Has General Qu Pian heard about the fact that Mr. Yangquan sent people to deal with us?"

Qu Douqi pretended to be stunned and said: "If it is for this matter, Taifu can rest assured, Meng Shuai has already ordered, so the detective cavalry will be released for more than ten days. If anyone follows us, it is guaranteed that they will not escape me. eyes and ears." Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, "General Qu Pian has already planned the itinerary for this trip?" Qu Douqi is also an elf, and he knew the elegant meaning after hearing Xiange, and said: "Although it has been settled early, except for the last general, the leader and the Taifu, even Lu Xiang doesn't know the detailed plan, so the Taifu doesn't have to worry There will be news about that.”

Xiang Shaolong really wanted to say that I would do whatever I wanted, but when it came time for you to speak, he finally held back his breath and said indifferently: "I'm afraid that one of Qu Yijiang's subordinates is a spy, so I will leave marks along the way so that you The enemy is chasing us with their tails in their mouths, looking for a suitable place to attack us, especially the place adjacent to the Korean border, where it is the most dangerous." Qu Douqi said nonchalantly: "If that's the case, it's useless to change the itinerary. They can deal with me before we enter the Zhao territory. It's better to follow the original route. If they can't fight, they will always escape."

Xiang Shaolong wondered: "General Qu Yi seems to mind my changing itinerary, what is the reason?" This move is very powerful, if Qu Douqi can't tell the reason, Xiang Shaolong can blame him for disobedience to the military order. Qu Douqi was slightly stunned, anger flashed across his eyes, and he said coldly: "Since Meng Shuai entrusted the Taifu's safety to the junior general, the latter naturally takes safety as the first consideration." Xiang Shaolong got angry, and said with a sneer: "Now I really don't know who is in charge, General Qu Pian or General Lu? He just took over my military order, and now General Qu Pian obviously didn't put my order in the first place." In the eye, can flexion be explained?"

Qu Douqi was slightly startled, knowing that Xiang Shaolong was really angry, he softened a bit, and said in a humble voice: "How dare the general disobey Tai Tuo's instructions, it's just..." Xiang Shaolong interrupted him patiently: "Tomorrow we will cross the river, did you send someone to swim over and check?" Qu Douchi was stunned and said: "The logging has not been done yet, and the river is so cold..." Xiang Shaolong stood up, reached the tent door, and shouted: "Jing Jun!" Jing Jun, who was practicing sparring with Meng Wu Yunjian, walked into the tent and said, "What orders does the Grand Tutor have?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Immediately find a few brothers, swim across the river to see the situation on the other side, the most important thing is to act in secret, if you find anything, don't alarm the enemy, understand?" Jing Jun gladly accepted the order and went. Qu Douqi lowered his head, but his expression was extremely dissatisfied.When Xiang Shaolong did this, it clearly meant that he was not doing his job well, and most importantly, it was indeed a negligence. Xiang Shaolong secretly smiled in his heart, this time they came prepared, one of the set of magic weapons, according to Shan Rou's method, made a batch of waterproof leather clothes, unexpectedly it will come in handy so soon.

Originally, he didn't expect to detect the movement on the other side, but because he reminded Xiao Yuetan earlier that Yangquanju said that he would use the hands of the Koreans to kill him, and now he confronted Qu Douqi who didn't respect him, he came up with this idea. A way to frustrate the opponent's spirit. Since it's hard to explain why it's reasonable, let's use head-on to force to teach him to submit. If the military order does not work, it is a taboo for marching. If Qu Douqi or Lu Xiong still insist on obedience and disobedience, simply rely on the military talisman given by King Xiang to dismiss them from their posts and replace them with Teng Yi.

At this time, he was no longer interested in entanglement with this person, and said coldly: "It's okay, Qu Pian will continue to handle your business, and the matter of changing the course, except for you and General Lu, you must not tell any third party to know. Otherwise, it will be dealt with by military law, and I will tell you which route to take tomorrow morning." Qu Douchi didn't say a word, he saluted slightly, and left in dismay. It was just dark at this time. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ In the main tent, Xiang Shaolong had dinner with his wives and maidservants. After hearing the reason why he changed to Qi, Ji Yanran said in amazement: "This Mr. Li Si is indeed very insightful, his analysis of the situation of various countries hits the nail on the head, Qi people like to speak out, and they are as thorough as gods. I can't think of it." There is such a person in the Xiangfu, can Shaolong introduce Yanran to meet him?"

Xiang Shaolong knew her character, so he was happy to have someone to chat with her, nodded and said: "I will invite him to come over later to meet Yanran." Ji Yanran said happily: "However, what surprised me even more is that Shaolong's vision, you know how to ask Mr. Li Si to accompany you by name." Xiang Shaolong cried out inwardly ashamed, where did he get any insight? Zhao Qian said worriedly: "But Xiang Lang sent someone to inform Mrs. Ya in Daliang to wait for you there. If you arrive in Qichu first, wouldn't they have to wait for at least a year or so?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said, "There is nothing we can do. But I sent Jing Jun to go to Wei to find them first. When we go from Qi to Chu, they will join us on the way, at least in March!" Zhao Qian thought about it, so she didn't speak again. At this time Xia Ying was feeding Xiang Shaolong, who asked her with a smile if the journey was hard. Qiuying on the other side smiled and said: "When the lady was in Xianyang, she taught us how to ride and shoot every day. What is this way?" Wu Tingfang laughed, and proudly said: "With the guidance of my master, these girls don't know how powerful they have become."

Suddenly there were voices of disturbing people outside the tent, and then Teng Yi's voice sounded outside, "Third Brother, come out for a while!" Hearing his heavy tone, Xiang Shaolong knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly opened the tent and left. The open space outside was crowded with people, Lu Xiong, Qu Douqi and others all came. Jing Jun, who had just returned, said excitedly: "Teacher Xiang! We captured the enemy and came back. Don't blame me. As soon as we got ashore, we bumped into this guy face to face. He was urinating. We had no choice but to attack." Xiang Shaolong's heart shuddered, he looked at Qu Douqi and other generals, everyone's expressions were solemn, and Qu Douqi was even more ashamed. Wu Yanzhu and Wu Shu, two members of the personal guard group composed of twelve disciples of the Wu family, pushed a man with his hands bound, soaked to the skin, his face as cold as death, and dressed in herdsman's attire to Shaolong. In front of him, he knelt down on the ground. Teng Yi said in a deep voice, "Who are you?" The man's lips trembled for a while, and he lowered his head and said in panic: "The villain Deng Jia is just a Korean herdsman. He passed by here, why should he be violent and capture the villain?" Jing Jun, who was still wearing a water jacket, said: "Don't trust him, this man hides weapons and bows, he is definitely not a good person." Teng Yi handed a sword to Shaolong and said: "Looking at the shape of the weapon, this person most likely comes from the country of Yan." Xiao Yuetan, who was listening silently, lost her voice: "What?" Xiang Shaolong was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the enemy had something to do with the country of Yan, he had a strange feeling in his heart, after pondering for a while, he ordered: "Put him in dry clothes first, and I will interrogate him personally." Wu Yanzhuo and Wu Shu accepted the order and escorted him away. Xiang Shaolong sternly shouted to the surrounding sergeants: "If you don't go to guard your posts for me, both generals please stay." Then he turned to Ji Yanran and waited: "Go back to the tent and wait for me." When only Teng Yi, Jing Jun, Xiao Yuetan, Qu Douqi, and Lu Xiong were left in the open space, Xiang Shaolong said indifferently: "If this person is really from the country of Yan, we will be in great danger." Everyone's face was heavy and they were silent. Under the shade of the dim camp lanterns, the snow powder fluttered in the sky, and the atmosphere was solemn. Qu Douqi coughed dryly, knelt down and said: "The last general is negligent, and I would like to be blamed by the Grand Tutor." Lu Xiong had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty. Xiang Shaolong wondered in his heart, he didn't expect that the accidental collision would dampen the morale of the two of them, but the situation was dangerous, and he couldn't be happy, so he rushed forward to help the two of them and said: "As long as we can sincerely cooperate and deal with the crisis, we will be able to cope with the crisis. I will never take small things to heart.” He has also become powerful, and the implication is that if the two of them are not obedient, they will never be polite.The two stood dejectedly like roosters who had lost a fight. Xiao Yuetan said: "We'll have to talk about Deng Jia after he's been tortured! But if I were him, I would die if I admit it. If I don't admit it, I'll have a chance, so I won't confess." Teng Yi smiled and said, "It's on me. Fortunately, it hasn't been cold for a long time. I'll go to the nearby crypt to see if there is any helper I want." After saying that, everyone was puzzled and went out of the camp. up. As Xiao Yuetan expected, Deng Jia denied it. Xiang Shaolong was well aware of Teng Yi's character, knew that he must have a way, and prevented Qu Douqi and others from torture him, so he only tied him in a tent and sent someone to guard him. Not long after, Teng Yi came back with a cloth bag, which was soft and wriggly, and he didn't know what was hidden inside. Xiang Shaolong and others sitting in the tent stared blankly at the cloth bag, only Jing Jun understood, laughed and said, "Let me get the small bamboo basket!" Xin Ran went to Teng Yi and entered the tent coldly, and shouted to his subordinates: " Get him up!" Wu Yan said that the two were busy holding him hostage. Deng Jia showed a look of astonishment, staring at the cloth bag that Teng Yi held up in front of his eyes, something was wriggling in it. Qu Douqi said: "What is Mr. Teng going to do to him?" Teng Yi unscrupulously probed into his handbag, skillfully took out a fluffy gray and black field mouse, handed it to Deng Jia and said with a smile: "Are you going to confess?" Seeing the big vole struggling and screaming in Teng Yi's hands, even resourceful people like Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Yuetan were at a loss. How could he use this thing to make Deng Jia submit? Deng Jia said proudly: "I'm just a herdsman, what can I recruit?" Xiao Yuetan sneered and said, "I still don't want to admit it. Not only do you speak Yan accent, but how can the shepherd still be so bold under such circumstances? Do you still want to deceive people?" When Deng Jia heard it, he realized that there was a flaw, and insisted: "I don't understand what you said at all. If you still don't believe that I am from Dengjia Village on the other side, you can send someone to ask and find out." At this time Jing Jun came back with the bamboo basket and shouted: "Take off his pants quickly!" Everyone was stunned. Wu Yan waited for two or three movements, and Deng Jia's lower body was immediately bald, fully exposed to everyone's eyes. Jing Jun personally covered his lower body with the mouth of the bamboo basket, and tied a rope around his buttocks to make it firm. Deng Jia said in amazement: "What do you want to do?" Teng Yi smiled and said: "You will know soon." Xiang Wuyan ordered the two of them: "Put him on the ground!" At this time, everyone understood in their hearts, and they all screamed, feeling that this was a hundred times crueler than beating him severely. Teng Yi lifted the lid on the other end of the small bamboo basket, put the field mouse into the bamboo basket, and then covered the basket. Immediately there was the sound of field mice moving, and the basket and Deng Jia started to shake at the same time. Deng Jia screamed: "Xiang Shaolong, you are so poisonous!" Lu Xiong knelt down and said, "Brother Deng Jia, how do you know he is Xiang Shaolong?" Deng Jiazhi had slipped his mouth, but he had no time to refute at this moment, his eyes rolled simultaneously with the movement of the vole in the basket. Of all the people in the tent, of course he was the only one who "experienced" the movements of the voles. Xiang Shaolong squatted on the other side like Lu Xiong, patted his cheek, and said softly: "Speak up obediently! If it proves that you have told the truth, we will let you go after walking for a while." Teng Yi looked coldly at his chest which was rising and falling rapidly, and said in a deep voice, "This field mouse is tired from walking and is about to eat something, you don't want to wait until then to say it!" Jing Jun said with a smile: "It may be too late then, the sooner you say it, the more complete you can keep the child-bearing and urinating fellow." In fact, they didn't need to use soft and hard tactics, Deng Jia collapsed early, with a look of horror on his face, he moaned and said: "Take that thing out first!" Qu Douqi shook his head and said: "If you don't tell me, that thing will stay in this little basket forever." Xiao Yuetan laughed and said, "You still don't know how to buy time? You're an idiot!" I don't know whether he was caught or swallowed, Deng Jia screamed: "The villain confessed, this time I was ordered by the prince, take it out!" Knowing that he had completely collapsed, Xiang Shaolong gave Teng Yi a wink and told him to take the field mouse out.To be honest, he himself was very afraid of this little guy, and if he asked him to do it, he would inevitably feel terrified. Teng Yi shook his head and shouted, "Hurry up and say it!" Deng Jia was helpless, and immediately told the whole thing at the fastest speed in the history of torture. When Teng Yi took out the vole, despite the freezing weather, Deng Jia was still urinating and drenched in sweat, which shows how severe the "poisonous punishment" is. His confession not only exposed the conspiracy of the Yan people, but also enabled Xiang Teng and his two men to figure out what happened to Longyang Lord outside Handan that day. It turned out that Prince Dan of Yan State besieged the capital of Yan State because of Lian Po. He had no choice but to hold on, but was unable to break through the siege. He had to resort to Hengshou and sent his famous general Xu Yiluan to lead three thousand warriors to break out of the encirclement and sneak into Zhao territory secretly. , hoping to create chaos and make the Zhao people retreat automatically.So first there was the assassination of Lord Longyang, and after the defeat, the people of Qi who had been bribed were killed in order to blame Tian Dan. If this plan fails, another plan is made. Prince Dan has a wide range of contacts, foresight and foresight, and he has contacts in various countries who have been bribed by him. At this time, knowing that Xiang Shaolong is an envoy to Wei, he immediately notified Xu Yiluan who was hiding in the Zhao border, and asked him to pretend to be a Zhao person to attack and kill. Xiang Shaolong. One must know that Xiang Shaolong represents King Zhuang Xiang, if he is killed, the people of Qin will not sit idly by, as long as the people of Qin use soldiers against Zhao, the people of Yan will automatically relieve the siege of the capital, this move is really powerful. Xu Yiluan was also a resourceful person, he set up a sentry post on Xiang Shaolong's journey to Wei, waiting for an opportunity.It was finally decided that when they crossed the river tomorrow, they would pretend to be the Han army and take advantage of the false attack.At that time, Xiang Shaolong was unable to cross the river, and he didn't dare to go deep into Han territory, so he had to be forced to transfer to Zhao territory. The conspiracy succeeded. When everyone heard this, they all frowned. These Yan people have no scruples about committing crimes in other places, and they dare not disturb the Zhao and Han people, so as not to cause further troubles, which is really a headache. In addition to the group of people like Xu Yiran, maybe Yangquan Lord's people colluded with the Koreans to deal with them. With their mighty team of more than a thousand people, under the intentional attack of the other party, the target is obvious, and there is indeed nowhere to go escape.If you find a place that is good for defense and build a fortress to defend, it will become a battle between trapped beasts, and it will not go anywhere in the end, which is even more inappropriate. Xiang Shaolong and others discussed it outside the tent for a while, but couldn't think of any good way to deal with it for a while. Qu Douchi suggested: "Now that we know that Xu Yi's rebellious people are hiding on a hilltop on the other side, why not sneak there and attack in the dark and kill them by surprise." Xiao Yuetan said: "This matter is too risky. I have heard of this person's name for a long time. He is good at using the art of war. He will definitely send someone to monitor me closely. Moreover, the disappearance of Deng Jia will arouse his suspicion. The number of opponents is three times that of ours. , Doing so will only wait for death." Lu Xiong's face was blue and his lips were pale, he said in a trembling voice: "If we leave overnight and leave an empty camp, by the time the Yan people find out, we will be too late to catch up." Although Xiang Shao despised this person, he pointed out that it was indeed the only way to do it, nodded and said: "Going is definitely going to go, but how to go is a long-term plan. With such a team of thousands of people, even if they move quickly, due to the big river Block them, sooner or later they will catch up." Qu Douqi nodded and said: "The worst thing is that no matter whether we enter Zhao country or Han territory, we must be careful and send scouts to scout the road to avoid Zhao Han's people, so the route must be twists and turns, and the march is slow. A shrewd person like Luan can easily catch up with us." Teng Yi, who had been silent all the time, said: "I have a suggestion, that is to break up the whole army and divide it into multiple teams, so that the enemy will not know which team to chase, and we will be more flexible in escaping." Everyone fell silent, chewing on his words. Xiang Shaolong said decisively: "This is the only feasible way, so it's decided." The rain and snow became heavier and heavier, and the murderous intent in the wilderness became more intense.
