The next morning, a general came with a group of soldiers and horses to call for formation, but saw Chu Yingpan hanging a no-war sign. The mediocre general yelled and cursed for a while, but no one answered. Due to the hot weather, the mediocre soldiers had to take off their armor and enjoy the coolness under the chariot. However, until evening, the Chu army still did not respond to the challenge, and this continued for several days. When Gu Xuli led his troops into the Chu army camp, there was another empty camp. He was obviously frightened by the bravery and good fighting skills of the mediocre army. Gu Xuli followed the Chu army around and chased them for more than 300 miles. Seeing that the Chu army had completely lost their fighting spirit, he no longer took the Chu army to heart. On this day, King Yong sent people to bring hundreds of jars of fine wine to reward the three armies. Guxuli was overjoyed, exchanged cups with the envoys and all the soldiers, and got very drunk.
In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of a cannon and saw a group of Chu soldiers charging into Yong camp. The leader was Yu Qi. Gu Xuli rushed over with Fang Tian's painted halberd in hand and shouted loudly: "General, I have been waiting for you for a long time, please come quickly!"
It turns out that it was a lie that Gu Xuli borrowed wine to reward the army to celebrate his victory in the camp, but it was true that he led the Chu army to dispatch. The mediocre troops lying in ambush attacked from all sides, trapping the Chu army in Gaixin.
During the melee between the two sides, a large number of people appeared on all sides and surrounded the Yongjun. Yu Qi, who was trapped in Gaixin, came to the center and blossomed. The arrows of the Chu army were like locusts, and the mediocre troops were either killed or injured. They trampled on each other and made a mess. The Chu army all took the lead bravely, rushing into the enemy's formation and killing indiscriminately. I thought the Chu army was vulnerable, but I didn't expect it to be so brave and capable. The troops on both sides attacked from inside and outside, and the mediocre army completely lost the ability to resist. Gu Xuli finally fought his way out and was about to break out of the encirclement, but was intercepted by Doubi. Guxuli was whipped. Fortunately, several generals arrived in time to block Dou Bobi, and Guxuli finally escaped from the Chu army's encirclement. Looking behind me, I saw that there were less than 1,000 horses and 30,000 people when they came out, and they headed straight for Xingxi.
However, when Gu Xuli fled to Xingxi City with hundreds of remaining soldiers, the pursuers of Dou Bobi and Yu Qi had arrived. Guxuli shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly and let me in!"
I don't want arrows to be shot down from the top of the city. The leader shouted loudly: "Xiong Tong is here, how long will it take before Guxuli surrenders?"
It turned out that when Dou Bobi used the "Morning Bull's Nose" tactic to deal with Gu Xuli, Xiong Tong took advantage of the emptiness of Xingxi and led a group of Chu soldiers pretending to be mediocre soldiers to break open the city gate and take Xingxi. The Chu army in front was retreating steadily, which was due to Dou Bobi's "arrogant soldier strategy". The Chu soldiers collapsed at the first touch, firstly to paralyze the mediocrity, secondly to find a fighting opportunity, and thirdly to buy time for Xiong Tong to capture Xingxi. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone. Guxuli took advantage of King Yong's gift of fine wine to reward the three armies, and he rewarded the army with wine in order to lure the Chu army to dispatch. Dou Bobi retreated in a planned way to wait for work, but in these days of chasing the Chu army, the mediocre army was exhausted and was dragged down by the Chu army to exhaustion.
At this time, the pursuers led by Dou Bobi and Yu Qi were approaching step by step, and Qu Zhong and Dou Yuqiang came out of the city. Although Gu Xuli was brave and good at fighting, he was unable to support himself alone, so he had to fight his way back to Yongyong alone. The country has gone.
After Da Xiongtong and Dou Bobi took their troops to Pudi, no one came to disturb him anymore. Xiong Suan was really happy for a while, staying in the harem all day long, drinking and having fun, singing and dancing to his heart's content, and ignoring the government affairs. Soon, news of the Chu army's defeat at Xingxi spread to Danyang, the capital of Chu, and the government and the public were shocked. Ministers kept breaking into the harem and saying they had plans to report, which disturbed his peace.
The next morning, Xiong Zhen came to court. The veteran general Qu Naifu came out of the squad and said: "Now, the second young master and Doctor Dou led their army into Pu. At Xingxi, they met the Yongguo general Gu Xuli and were defeated. They are in urgent need of backup. The Yongguo has always been eyeing me, Jingchu, if not. Show him how powerful he is, and he will definitely ignore me, Da Chu, in the future. I am not talented, but I am willing to lead the army into Pu to show the prestige of the country. I hope the monarch will give me permission!"
Fei Wuchang said, and immediately went out to announce: "No, no. When Dou Bobi asked for war, Wei Chen said, beware of conflicts with neighboring countries. Once a war breaks out, the country will never have peace. Look, I Didn’t what he said come true? If we send more troops there, it will definitely add fuel to the fire. The top priority is to withdraw the troops and then send people to make peace with Yong. And severely punish those who are belligerent to set an example!"
When Gongyin Chuanzhang saw this, he came out of the squad and said: "Father, what Dr. Fei said is wrong! I think that when Chu was first founded, it was only a few dozen miles in circumference, with few soldiers and few generals, poor people and a weak country. It all depends on the ancestors of the past dynasties. Fighting in the south and north led to the appearance of this world. Now the Yong Kingdom is sending troops to Pu. It seems to be for Pu, but in fact it is for Chu. If it is allowed to continue, it will definitely pose a serious threat to our great Chu. Only by exerting the prestige of our country, Only then can the mediocre people and surrounding countries not dare to underestimate our great Chu. Just as General Qu said, send reinforcements to Pu immediately to maintain the prestige of the country!"
Chuan Zhang, also known as Zhang Zhang, was also from a branch of the royal family and was named Gong Yin. Before Jiang Zhang could finish his words, Prince Xiong Yan said in a sarcastic tone: "Hmph, Gong Yin doesn't have to worry about his own affairs, but he has to worry about the affairs of Mo Ao's house. It's really a new thing... Everything has been done. At this point, how can we send more troops or reinforcements? Your Majesty, I think Dr. Fei's words are reasonable, and those who are warlike should be punished. Otherwise, who can afford to provoke a war? I hope your Majesty will think again. !”
Just as Zhang Zhang was about to retort, he suddenly came to report from the border. The Chu army that entered Pu was retreating steadily and had been forced to nowhere by the mediocre general Gu Xuli. The mediocre army is coming with ferocious force and is threatening to invade our border... Xiong Zhen was shocked when he heard the report. Fei Wuchang saw the situation and took the opportunity to say: "Dou Bobi has harmed the country, so he should be punished. Qu Nai's father and the person who harmed the country have vented their anger on the same nose, and they should be guilty of the same crime!"
Xiong Zhen said: "There is no need to say anything more to the two Qings. I know it well. Fei Wuchang listened to the order and ordered you to take one of my golden arrows and rush to Pudi, recall Xiong and Dou, and leave the remaining soldiers at the border with Pu. Let’s open Pudi together. Retreat from the imperial court!”
Qu Nai's father wanted to say something else, but Xiong Suan threw up his sleeves and turned to leave. Fei Wuchang, holding the golden arrow in hand, glanced at Qu Nai's father proudly and set off immediately.
Xiong Zhen returned to the harem. Xiong Zhen had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Xiong Zhen come in, he hurriedly greeted him, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said loudly: "My son, please say hello to your father!" Xiong Zhen said: "That's it, that's it!"
Xiong Zhen stood up quickly and stepped behind Xiong Zhen. While rubbing his shoulders, he said, "What is your father worried about?"
Xiong Zhen said angrily: "It's not like Dou Bobi and Xiong Tong, who insist on opening up Baipu. Look, they were beaten by Yongguo's army in Xingxi. They lost their armor and armor, lost their troops and generals, and were defeated again and again. Hum, look. How can they have the nerve to come back and see me!"
Xiong Tong took the opportunity to provoke: "Yes, what kind of people are those two? They are arrogant and arrogant. They never paid attention to you, my father, when they were in court. That day, one of the slaves of Erchen escaped to Xiong Tong's house. , my son went to his house to ask for someone. What do you think he said? He just didn’t let me find him. He also dragged you in and scolded you, saying that you sang and danced all day long, indulged in drinking and sex, ignored the government affairs, and the foundation created by the late king. Sooner or later, the future will be ruined in your hands. Erchen was so angry that after a few arguments with him, he actually killed one of his attendants on the spot. Jun father, he is killing a chicken to show the monkey..."
Xiong Zhen said: "Is there such a thing?"
Xiong Zhen said: "How dare I lie to your father? If you don't believe your father, you can send someone to investigate!"
Xiong Zhen said: "I have sent Doctor Fei to Xingxi to summon them back to the court. We should wait until they return to the court to discuss these matters!"
When Fei Wuchang came to Xingxi City, the Chu army was singing and dancing with the local people to celebrate the victory of Xingxi. Xiong Tong and Dou Bobi led their soldiers to repair the city walls and various facilities damaged by the war and appease the people. Fei Wuchang came to see Xiong Tong and Dou Bobi holding Chu Jun's golden order arrow. When Xiong Tong saw the golden order arrow, he was so angry that he dragged Fei Wuchang to the head of Xingxi City, pointed at Xingxi City and angrily said: "Open the door Look at it with your dog's eyes, I have five thousand men and horses, and I have killed more than thirty thousand mediocre troops without leaving a single piece of armor, and expanded the territory of our great Chu for hundreds of miles. If Uncle Bi Wang had not used the arrogant strategy, we would have won today's great victory. ?"
Fei Wuchang said: "This has nothing to do with the official. This is what the monarch's golden approval says. The official is just following orders..."
Xiong Tongtong: "If it weren't for you slanderous ministers who deceived the monarch, could the monarch issue this golden award? I will kill you, the scum of the royal court, who has brought disaster to the country and the people!"
Fei Wuchang was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he begged repeatedly: "Second Young Master, please calm down, Grandpa General, please calm down. I will go back and tell the truth to the monarch right away, and commend the two marquises for their great achievements..."
