Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

Chapter 343 Outpost

Somehow this secret was known to Hua Mulan and used it. However, although this problem is serious, it is not the most fatal part.

For real loopholes to exist, perhaps beauty is a disaster.

At that time, Helu's favorite Princess Wu liked to play in the water and wanted to build a pool in the palace. However, her palace was on a high ground and there was no water source nearby. Helu could not bear her pleading day and night, so he forced her to Wu Zixu had to dig out a pool no matter what.

Wu Zixu had no choice but to dig a deep pit, and then connected the lower part of the pit with a nearby large river to cut through it to revive the stagnant water.

After this was successfully completed, Wu Zixu killed all the craftsmen.

Therefore, there are very few people who know this secret, and Hua Mulan proves that there are no eternal secrets in the world. She sends a special force to sneak into the King of Wu's palace through this waterway. The final result is that the King of Wu is captured by others and the thieves capture the king first.

Things developed to this point, and the newly revived Wu State fell into ruin again.

After the Northern Wei Dynasty defeated the Wu State, the military front was vaguely directed at the Yue State, and even sent people to the Yue State to spread rumors, which caused people in the Yue State to panic for a while. Fortunately, Huang Yueying was here personally to take charge, otherwise he might have been provoked into trouble. Before the war officially started, they were in chaos.

Luo Qi sighed: "The war has not yet begun. Rumors are the most powerful weapons. Hua Mulan really knows the art of war, and she actually has this method to mess up the morale of our army."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "You haven't told me yet why you know this Northern Wei general."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "These things are not important. What is important is that my mission to the Chu State was not in vain. Now that the Wu State has been defeated by the Northern Wei Dynasty, we and the Chu State can only depend on each other. They We will definitely fully support us in our fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and we may not have no chance of winning."

Huang Yueying said: "After defeating the Northern Wei Dynasty, you should ascend the throne as soon as possible."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "We are very busy now. We will talk about this later. However, I have a question that I have not noticed before. That is, since the Chu Kingdom has been restored, why did the Xiang family not return? Support another King Huai of Chu in Jicheng?"

Huang Yueying said: "I heard that the Xiang family has already split from the current Chu State. I also don't know the specific reasons."

Linggu said: "The general knows a little bit about this matter."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

Linggu said: "It is said that before the Chu State was destroyed by the Qin State, it had already split into two countries due to civil strife, one was the Southern Chu and the other was the Western Chu. The one we have established diplomatic relations with now is the revived Southern Chu. The Xiang clan was loyal to the Western Chu, and what they established was the emerging Western Chu regime..."

Luo Qi nodded and said: "That's it."

Huang Yueying sighed: "If the Xiang family really surrenders to Southern Chu, we may be more confident in dealing with the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Luo Qi smiled, remembered something, and said to Ling Gufu: "You ask someone to hold the carriage, and be careful to be gentle with your hands and feet. The journey is bumpy. Jiang Rou is sleeping, so don't wake her up. Then you can make arrangements at my residence." For a moment, let’s put her there.”

Ling Gufu said quickly: "I will make arrangements now, and I will never let my mistress suffer any injustice!"

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Mother?"

Luo Qi nodded and said, "Her name is Jiang Rou."

Huang Yueying squinted her eyes slightly, half-smiling: "I seem to remember someone saying that she was afraid of being indulged in a gentle country, so she always kept away from beautiful women..."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "The situation was special at that time, so I could only do this."

Huang Yueying turned sideways and looked in the direction the carriage was leaving: "Is she happy now?"

Luo Qi nodded and said: "Very happy."

Huang Yueying sighed: "I hope she can always be so happy."

Roach laughed and said: "That's impossible."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "You mean...?"

Luo Qi said lightly: "I will make her happier."

Huang Yueying looked at Luo Qi deeply, and then sighed slightly for a long time: "Very good."

really good.

Yue Di, Zhuji.

Luo Qi's residence is a simple building, simple and somewhat quiet. He did not make luxurious decorations, just to reflect his people-friendly characteristics.

At the moment, he is in the bamboo room, playing chess with Jiang Rou.

Sunlight shone in from the edge of the window frame, illuminating their figures. Luo Qi thought hard and then dropped the chess piece, which was easily cracked by Jiang Rou.

She pressed a chess piece and said with a smile: "Abandon the piece to conquer the dragon, the victory is determined."

Luo Qi smiled slightly and sighed: "I really didn't expect that your chess skills are so profound. Even I was killed and my armor was thrown off. Please spare my life, little lady."

Jiang Rou looked at Luo Qi deeply, a soft smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "You think I don't know you are letting me?"

Luo Qi cupped his hands and said, "My wife is so wise, she is ashamed of her husband."

Jiang Roujiao hummed: "Who makes you miss a move every time at the most critical moment? You obviously give in to me on purpose, just to make me happy..."

The two of them were playing and having fun when they saw Huang Yueying walking into the bamboo room: "I know you are so happy now, but there is something serious right now, so I have to interrupt you. I hope you two won't take offense."

Luo Qi half-supported his body and said with a smile: "Let me guess, is the news you want to say about the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Huang Yueying nodded and said: "They have sent a vanguard force, and their goal is to cross our country."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "How many?"

Huang Yueying said: "More than [-] people are obviously here to explore the bottom. It is said that the follow-up formal troops are slowly gathering and will soon be approaching us."

Luo Qi said: "Who is the leader of that group of pioneers?"

Huang Yueying said: "The information we have now is not clear, but it should be Xue Andu, the famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Luo Qi nodded slightly, he knew this character.

Historically, Xue An was willing to serve as a general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was brave by nature and liked to make friends with brave and chivalrous heroes. He was forced to defect to the Southern Song Dynasty due to suspicion of rebellion. Later, he defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty because he was on the wrong team when it came to the crown prince issue and was afraid of being killed. , this experience is indeed somewhat strange.

But he is indeed a good fighter when it comes to fighting.

When he was a general in the Song Dynasty, his brave fighting style subdued the government and the opposition. He would often take off his clothes and armor, and ride into the formation alone with a spear in his hand.

At that time, Lu Shuang, the governor of Sizhou, rebelled, and the imperial court sent Xue Andu to attack him.Lu Shuang was usually very brave and was known as the enemy of thousands of people, but Xue Andu still rode into the opponent's army alone and killed him in front of thousands of people. This unusual bravery deeply impressed the general.

Hua Mulan uses this kind of warrior as the vanguard, and it seems that she wants to have a head-on war with Yue.

Luo Qi restrained his thoughts and raised his eyebrows: "Has the Chu State responded?"

Huang Yueying said: "They have begun to assemble troops and organize supplies. They are marching towards us and should be resisted soon."
