"Duke Zhou!"

"What's wrong with you, Duke Zhou?"

"Duke Zhou! Duke Zhou!?"

Zhou Gong Hei Yan heard that the front line was being attacked by Shanrong people, and was worried that he would immediately come over to see if there were any military newspapers on the front line. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came over, he heard the words of Grand Sima Wuman.

Blackback did indeed transport food and supplies safely, and the morale on the front line was greatly boosted, but on the way back, he encountered a fine work and was ambushed by the Shanrong people. The Blackback team suffered heavy losses. The Blackback team protected the team to retreat and eventually died unfortunately...

Zhou Gong staggered, and felt a "buzzing" sound in his mind, and his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.

Qi Lu and Ji Lin heard the shouts of the temple people, and then they found that Mr. Zhou was coming. They quickly ran over to check. He died of a pale face on the ground, his eyes were tightly closed, and even his breathing was weak. Qi Lu quickly said, "Hurry up, please come to the hospital for treatment!"

Prince Fan rushed over with the medicine box in a hurry. It was nothing big about Zhou Gong's black shoulders, but he had been working hard for the Shanrong incident these days and rarely had a rest. Now he suddenly heard the bad news about his younger brother and could not accept such a heavy blow, so he fainted.

Ji Lin's face was extremely gloomy. He glanced at Mr. Zhou who was still unconscious on the couch, put on his black sleeves, and said, "Go out and reply with me."

Everyone left the hall and came to the Political Affairs Hall. The officials also heard about Heibei's unfortunate death in battle. This was a big deal. It was obvious that it was about to win a great victory. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.

"The Shanrong people are really infuriating!"

"There are actually detailed works in the army, which is really abominable!"

"What should we do now? The Shanrong people sneaked into our Luo Shi army, and the morale of the Shanrong people will inevitably rebound. How can they be defeated with one blow? If they cannot be defeated with one blow, I'm afraid there will be more dreams at night..."

Ji Lin took advantage of his face and walked with the wind and strode into the political affairs hall. The whispered officials inside immediately fell silent, all looked at Ji Lin, bowed and said, "Greetings to my king."

Ji Lin said lightly: "How about the front line?"

Grand Sima Wuman stood up and reported carefully, saying: "When the emperor returned to the emperor, Shanrong's fine work appeared in the front line camp. The Shanrong people not only attacked the Black-backed General's team, but also took the opportunity to attack the front line camp at night..."

The Blackback army was severely damaged. The front-line Gong Jifu and General Zhu Dan had much deeper experience than the Blackback, so the front-line military camp was not seriously injured, but some food and grass were plundered by the Shanrong people.

After this attack, the Shanrong people immediately stayed in the door and hid in the Peiqiu Mountains, as if they had changed their strategies. They only occasionally came out to attack the front line, but did not border on the front.

Wu Man bowed and said, "Shanrong's fine work has been stolen by Guo Gongzheng Law, but the current situation is that the Shanrong people are regaining their momentum, and they always wander and attack, and they do not face the enemy head-on. Peiqiu Mountain is lush and vegetation is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If this continues, our army's momentum will be defeated. Moreover, the front line is too long, and food and grass supply is also a problem. By then..."

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes. The Shanrong people had stubbornly developed psychological tactics with them. They wanted to drag down the front army. On the one hand, they used sneak attacks to defeat the front line's aggression, and on the other hand, they did not respond directly to the enemy.

Ji Lin's voice was hoarse and he said coldly: "Shanrong bullies me, Dazhou, what do you think you should do?"

Someone whispered loudly: "My king! Although Peiqiu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Peiqiu has always been the hunting ground of Qi State. Although it is winter now, the plants and trees are still lush and suitable for fire attack. It is better to burn Peiqiu with fire. Let's see how the Shanrong people still hide?"

"No! Never! Although the grass and trees in Peiqiu are lush, it is conducive to fire attacks, but there are people gathering around Peiqiu hunting ground. Moreover, Peiqiu is not far from the capital of Qi Linzi. Now it is bitter in winter, the cold wind is pressing, and the river water is dry. I am afraid that the fire will not be controlled by then, causing a disaster!"

Setting fire is indeed simple, but it also has its drawbacks. Not to mention ancient people, even in modern times with advanced technology, forest fires are difficult to control. The consequences of such a fire are immeasurable, and it is a stupid way to hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred of them.

"What should I do?"

"You can't just see the Shanrong people being so arrogant!"

Qi Lu remained silent, watching the Political Affairs Hall fall into chaos, perhaps because of the news that Heibei died in battle made the nobles and officials anxious. The stalemate atmosphere was very suffocating.

Qi Lu suddenly spoke, "Son of Heaven, there is a law."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Prince, please speak."

Qi Lu said: "Shanrong's troops are weak and cannot be compared with our army at all. It is precisely because they know this that they began to roam and attack without confronting our army head-on. The emperor did not prevent him from sending bait to lure the enemy deeper, lead the Shanrong people out of Peiqiu, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"Bail?" Qi Lu frowned and said, "Who is the bait in the mouth of the Taifu?"

The nobles gathered all their eyes on Qi Lu. Qi Lu bowed and said calmly: "Go to my king, this bait is Lu and Duke Zhou..."

The Black Back Fighting Dead, the Zhou Emperor was furious and had sent a large army to support him, which would inevitably make the Shanrong people pay their blood debts. The chief general of the army this time was a civil official, the famous Zhou Gong Black Shoulder of the Luo Army!

Although Zhou Gong Heijian was a civil servant, he was familiar with military tactics and did not have gone to the expedition. Zhou Gong Heijian's purpose was very clear, and he was to avenge his brother.

There is another chief general in this army, who is also famous and has an unparalleled status. He is the current Zhou emperor's army and the head of the three royal family of Luoshi!

The army was very powerful, with Taifu Qi and Duke Zhou, and the troops were still so sufficient. After hearing this, the Shanrong people hid in Peiqiu and dared not appear.

"Report——!"

"General! The Zhou people's army is over, and they will soon meet with the Zhou people on the front line."

"What should I do?"

"What should we do with so many soldiers?"

"Yes, yes, will they kill Peiqiu Mountain directly?"

"Don't panic!" The Shanrong general sitting at the top smiled coldly and said, "Everyone, don't panic. The Zhou people have only troops and no courage. Look at who the Zhou people sent? Hei Jian and Qi Lu are just poor literati. What principles do they know about fighting?"

The Shanrong general looked like he was sure to win. Everyone looked at each other and said, "What good way does the general have?"

"Hmph," the Shanrong general smiled coldly and said, "Have you ever heard that what is the man named Daoyan this week?"

Before everyone could reply, the Shanrong general had already asked and answered: "This black shoulder is the brother of the young man who was sneak attacking the Zhou people's food and grass team a few days ago!"

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

The Shanrong general continued, "This black shoulder is the brother of the black back. As far as I know, the Grand Tutor Qi Lu of the King of Zhou is the person who recommends the Black Back to transport food and grass. Tell me, is this black shoulder and Qi Lu's beam of the Black Shoulder cut off?"

Black back can transport food and grass, which was recommended by Qi Lu. Now Black back has gone but never returned. Although he successfully transported food and grass, he unfortunately died in battle on the way back. Although Black back knew that this was not Qi Lu's sin, did Black back consider so many principles when he lost his relatives?

"What the general means..."

The Shanrong general laughed and said, "I have always heard that Zhou Gong and the Taifu are incompatible. This Zhou Gong was originally the master of the King of Zhou, but because Taifu Qi was pushed off the stage, and this black back is also the brother-in-law who loves black shoulders. Tell me, what should we do with this new hatred and old hatred?"

The Shanrong general stared at the flames in the camp and reached out to wave them gently. The flames were blown by the wind and did not extinguish them, but burned even more vigorously. Then he said in a sinister way: "Why... we add another fire to Duke Zhou, let them be in trouble in the Zhou camp and burn to the death. By then, let alone Qi State, even Luo Shi, the entire Great Zhou, is ours!"

The army set out and soon set off from the State of Song and met on the Peiqiu frontline.

On this day, the army had already crossed the State of Song and was about to enter the border of Qi. It was getting dark and the army camped on the spot, preparing to stay overnight and continue to drive tomorrow.

The atmosphere in the military camp was very solemn and the momentum was not high. Everyone silently used up dinner, leaving only the patrol team. The rest of the people entered the camp and prepared to rest on their own.

Just at this moment...

"Tait--"

It was the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth, rushed from afar, getting closer and closer. Because of the experience of being sneak attacked by Shanrong people last time, the Hu Ben Army was still like a frightened bird, and immediately became alert.

"Who is it!?"

"Don't get closer!"

The general responsible for guarding the gate shouted loudly, and saw a torch in the distance, and the flames formed a long dragon, almost lit up the dark horizon. Countless horses were riding with dust in the wilderness. At the end, a cart covered with plain cloth made a sound of "squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-squeaking ah-sque

The chariots and horses did not slow down and came straight towards the gate of the army. When they arrived at the gate, the guards of the Hu Ben Army immediately said, "Go and pass the message, Duke Guo is back!"

It turned out that the team of soldiers and horses that came from the crowd were led by Guo Gongji's father.

There was no sound in the camp. Qi Lun was about to rest, and then he heard the voice of the temple's people and said anxiously: "My king! Grand Tutor! Duke Guo is back!"

"Duke Guo..."

"Transporting the body of General Blackback... is back."

Ji Lin opened the curtain of the camp with a "slam". Qi Lu followed Ji Lin and immediately walked out of the emperor's camp. The camp was already brightly lit and the bonfire was burning. Guo Gong Jifu was wearing black armor and his face was solemn and stern.

He rushed into the camp quickly, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and bowed.

"rustle……"

The sound of clear footsteps came. Everyone looked back and found that it was Mr. Zhou who heard the news and walked out of the camp. He had a pale face and no special expression on his face.
