"It would be nice if I could have a brother to help me." A thought that had been echoing for several days came to Wu Qing's mind again, and he stared helplessly through a small hole at the patrol team of Zhou soldiers in the distance. . After leaving Chuzhou, Wu Qing went out at night and day, traveling in a hurry, first going west to bypass Qingliu Pass, and then heading straight north. After entering the Haozhou border for reconnaissance, he then went up the river and went straight to Shouzhou. The closer he got to Shouzhou, Wu Qing noticed that Zhou Jun's patrols were getting tighter. He patrolled the perimeter for three days and figured out the patterns of Zhou Jun's movements. It was not until late at night on the eighth day of November that he took advantage of the opportunity to break in and lurk into the garbage dump in the southwest corner of Shouzhou City. middle. However, after latent observation in the middle of the night, Wu Qing discovered that there were fires and torches everywhere under Shouzhou City, and patrols by Zhou army soldiers were continuous. Especially near the garbage dump, there were fixed sentries very close to each other, so he did not take the opportunity to sneak in. The possibility of the city could not help but secretly become anxious in my heart. In the early morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, a cold drizzle passed by. Wu Qing breathed out slowly, trying his best to avoid the stench that was everywhere around him. He tried his best to shrink his body. When he was about to take a nap and wait for dark before taking action, he suddenly When I noticed the sound of horse hooves coming from outside, I immediately opened a small hole reserved and looked out. Something was not quite right, and Wu Qing was immediately filled with doubts. I saw dozens of Zhou army cavalry rushing to the city gate, and they were all within the range of the bows and arrows on the city. At this time, a row of soldiers with bows also appeared on the city head, aiming their arrows downward but not shooting. The Zhou army cavalry didn't pay attention to the sharp arrows on the city top, and all aimed their arrows at the city gate. With a "squeak" sound, the South City Gate opened. Wu Qing almost jumped up in surprise, what does this mean? However, Wu Qing's mood changed from surprise to relief, because a small car full of garbage had appeared at the gate of the city. It was obvious that the two sides above and below the city had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and this should be exactly what happened. The reason for the formation of a garbage mountain. Soon, Wu Qing became curious again, because a thin black old man at the head of the convoy directed the troops to dump the garbage into the pile, then turned around and started laughing and scolding the cavalry who came with them. Although the old man was very thin, his voice was extremely loud. , all the conversations reached Wu Qing¡¯s ears. "Master Zhao, I say, you are going to lose this battle. Just come and follow our Lord Lin." "You old man, how many times have I told you, I am just a Marquis of Yu, not a Marquis." "Master." The leading cavalryman was so angry that he whipped his whip in the air and roared, "Old guy named Deng, look at you with your eyes wide open. We have hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding you Shouzhou. Even if we don't fight, you Sooner or later, we will run out of food. Let¡¯s see how you keep it and whether you will be stubborn or not. Look to the south. Our three-nation coalition forces of nearly one million will attack your small Tang country. Your home and country will be in trouble. It's over." "Blow, just keep blowing." Old man Deng sneered, and his voice became louder, "Who doesn't know how to brag? With an army of millions, at least we in Shouzhou City have dealt with you now. With two to three hundred thousand horses, we alone in Shouzhou can defeat three of your countries." "Bah." Du Yuhou, surnamed Zhao, spat viciously, turned around and led his horses away, determined to ignore this stinking thing again. Tough old man Deng. "Hey, to be honest, for the sake of you being a nice person, if you come to me then and I beg Mr. Lin for mercy, I might be able to spare your life." Old Man Deng shouted loudly, Hearing this, Marquis Yu of Zhao Du whipped his whip twice and drove his horse away. The other cavalry also led their horses back in disgust. Old man Deng laughed loudly and strangely, turned around and walked towards the garbage dump. From the moment he met Old Man Deng, Wu Qing touched a thin piece of wood from his hand, scratched the words "00308 Wu Qing" on the piece with his finger marks, and slowly raised it to his eyes. When Old Man Deng approached the garbage pile and was about to turn, Wu Qing ejected the wood piece with great force. The wood piece rolled twice in the air and hit the corner of Old Man Deng's clothes. Old man Deng was stunned for a moment, then immediately squatted down, took off his shoes, knocked them on, put them on again, picked up the piece of wood and held it in the palm of his hand, stood up and shouted: "You, and you, Don't dump them randomly, pour them next to each other in order." Soon, all the garbage trucks leaving the city were emptied. The Zhou army cavalry rushed over, checked the number of people leaving the city, and checked every vehicle. They found nothing unusual. Wave and let go. With a "squeak" sound, the city gate was closed again, the cavalry withdrew, and the archers on the top of the city also withdrew. Wu Qing moved closer to the opening and took a few breaths of fresh air. He retracted his face, covered the opening, slowly adjusted his body, and squinted his eyes to rest. The years in the cave are long, and the world in the cave is huge. Wu Qing sometimes rests, and sometimes reviews the virtual sand table deduction taught by Lin Feng, calculating and simulating the situation of war in the world. The more he thinks about it, the more interesting and immersed he becomes. In the end, unexpectedly,Completely forgetting the fact that he was surrounded by enemy troops. At ten o'clock in the eleventh month, the south gate of Shouzhou opened on time again. Old man Deng took the lead, pushing a large cart with tall wooden panels on all sides and walked out. While teasing Zhou Jun who was watching, he walked straight Walking towards where Wu Qing is. When they were approaching the garbage dump, the two cars following Old Man Deng swayed and bumped into each other, causing the two drivers to fall together. "You two bastards, you can't even push a cart well, why are you so unsatisfied?" Old man Deng blew his beard and glared, he violently lifted the cart in his hand, turned around and walked towards the fallen carts. The small amount of waste firewood, wood and other garbage in the cart quickly popped out, and the cart stood up, right at the location of Wu Qing. Wu Qing, who had been prepared for a long time, gently lifted off the camouflage in front of him and quickly retracted into the car body. He tapped his fingers on the car floor a few times. He felt that the left side of the car made a hollow sound. I groped around the side and soon found a protruding lever. With a slight pull, half of the car panel suddenly collapsed. Wu Qing moved slightly and stood inside the carriage board. He stretched his hands outward and pushed the carriage board back to its original position. Soon, Old Man Deng came back in a circle while cursing, slowly pulled the car down, turned around and led the team towards the city gate. Two Zhou soldiers rushed over, stopped Old Man Deng, and asked loudly: "Old Man Deng, why did you change cars today?" Wu Qing immediately held his breath. Old man Deng glared and replied sarcastically: "It's not because you pesky ghosts don't go away. We can only stay in the city and find something to do. There will naturally be more and more garbage. How can we not change to a big car?" ,." The two soldiers sneered and said nothing, and pierced the bottom of the carriage with their spears. Wu Qing had already pressed his body tightly against the back of the carriage, and pierced the wooden board with his long spears three or four times. After the noise, the car continued to move forward. Wu Qing felt the car turn a corner, and not far away, there was a dull sound of the door closing and closing from behind, and he found that the car had stopped and stood upright again. "Brother Wu, come out." A long-awaited voice came from outside the car. Wu Qing was so excited that he immediately pushed open the carriage board and looked out, only to find that in front of him was Lin Feng, whom he had always cared about. "General Lin, Wu Qing is reporting to you. General, you have lost weight and become darker, but you are still energetic." Wu Qing beat his chest excitedly and said with some choking. Lin Feng laughed loudly, hit his chest with his right hand in return, and pulled Wu Qing out with his left hand, hugging him tightly. Wu Qing was so excited that he hugged Lin Feng with all his strength. He immediately noticed that Lin Feng's face was a little distorted. He took a tight breath and immediately panicked: "Mr. Lin, you, you are injured. Where are you." Lin Feng shook his head with a smile and pointed. Pointing to the big bulge on his ribs, he said: "No, it's just an old injury. It's become a little more serious during this period. Let's not talk about it anymore. Come, let's have a good chat." It was only then that Wu Qing noticed that they were in In a secluded small courtyard, only Feng Jingyun was with them. Lin Feng first introduced the early stage of Shouzhou's attack and defense. Hearing the intense and exciting battle, Wu Qing's blood was boiling, and he clenched his fists and sighed: "Wu Qing wishes he could accompany Mr. Lin to fight on the battlefield and fight against the enemy bandits." "You are the same in Chuzhou. We are already fighting together," Lin Feng replied and asked about the war in Chuzhou. Wu Qing quickly recounted the battles such as the loss of Qingliu Pass, Chuzhou's offensive and defensive, and Zhao Kuangyin's deceitful formation. He was really upset that the Chuzhou Army did not seize the opportunity of the enemy's empty troops to seize Qingliu Pass and reverse the situation of the war. Lin Feng, who had been listening quietly, did not change his expression. Instead, he comforted him: "Brother Wu, the battlefield situation can change in an instant. We can't expect everything to go smoothly. The opportunity is gone. Let's create new and better opportunities. , In addition, I think you did the right thing by adapting to the situation at Qingliuguan. I will definitely intercede for you in front of King Qi about the false imperial edict." Wu Qing bowed gratefully and finally mentioned that he would be ready when he returned. Lin Feng immediately pointed out the idea of ??building a mobile force to support Shouzhou at any time and sighed: "Brother Wu, you are already our first reinforcement in Shouzhou. I didn't expect that you will also bring us the first reinforcement. Thank you. Brother Wu.¡±
