After Jizha left the camp, Qingji ordered the generals to come to the Chinese army's tent to raise the tent to discuss matters.

Qingji looked around, looked at the generals on the left and right, and said: "Give me the order, the whole army will prepare their weapons, bury the pots, make rice, recharge their batteries, and set an attack at the second west gate of Wudu City at midnight tomorrow night."

.”

"promise!"

All the generals sang loudly.

Meng Bi, who was on one side, was quite puzzled and asked: "Sir, didn't you and Ji Zi meet at the second east gate to meet each other outside? Why did the army attack the second west gate of Wudu City?"

Hearing this, Qingji just smiled indifferently and said: "It's not that I can't trust Ji Zi, it's just that Ji Guang and Wu Zixu are cunning. I'm afraid they can't trust Ji Zi, and they will use his tricks to set up an ambush in the east of the city."

"That being the case, why can't I take advantage of the enemy's strategy and send troops to attack the west of the city of Wu while the enemy's main force is guarding the east of the city and the defenses everywhere are empty?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Ben and other generals suddenly realized.

"Young Master is wise!"

The generals were about to retreat. At this moment, a soldier suddenly entered the tent and reported: "Sir, there is a messenger in the city who wants to see you."

"Messenger? Whose messenger?"

"The person who came here claims to be Nanfang Lieutenant, the messenger of Sun Ping, the Chinese doctor."

"Please!"

"promise!"

Qingji was not deeply impressed by Sun Ping.

He only knew that Sun Ping was originally from Qi, and his ancestor was Chen Hugong, the founding king of Chen State. He was born in a noble family and had been prominent for generations!

Sun Ping was even more impressive. Relying on the legacy of his ancestors and his great contributions, he was awarded the title of Minister.

What is a minister?

A minister is the highest-ranking official under the king, one person is lower than one person and is higher than ten thousand people!

A minister is similar to a prime minister of a country, but different.

It varies according to national conditions!

For example, the ministers of Jin State were all hereditary and irreplaceable princes, with great power.

Most of the ministers in other countries have the power to conduct government affairs, but their personal power is very limited.

Sun Ping was a minister of Qi State, which was an honorary title in itself.

Two years ago, civil strife broke out in the state of Qi. Sun Ping moved his family to the state of Wu to avoid the chaos.

At that time, King Liao of Wu knew about Sun Ping's talents, but considering that Sun Ping's status in Qi was too high in the past, he gave too much money and titles, which made the people of the country dissatisfied.

He neglected Sun Ping and was afraid that the world would laugh at him for not being able to appoint talents and make use of them!

For this reason, King Wu was in a dilemma!

Fortunately, Sun Ping did not seem to seek fame and wealth, and he retired to the mountains and forests to spend his free time at home.

King Liao of Wu then appointed Sun Ping as a middle-level official, and it was hereditary. This was still a false title, and he could only receive a certain salary on a regular basis!

It wasn't until Helu regicide usurped the throne and became Queen Wu that Sun Ping was re-enabled.

But Sun Ping was only appointed as the Southern Lieutenant and was not given any title!

Nanfang Wei is a kind of military official who guards the city gates. He is responsible for guarding the two southern gates of Wudu City. His authority is neither big nor small.

It’s not that Helu couldn’t see Sun Ping’s talents and know how to handle people well!

It was Sun Ping's own request.

Sun Ping claimed that he had not made any achievements in the state of Wu and could not accept a higher title. Helu had no choice but to let it go.

…

It is said that after Jizha returned to the capital city of Wu, he sent people to secretly contact the officials and officials in the city, and they worked together to welcome Qingji's army into the city.

When he learned that Helu had withdrawn the soldiers responsible for guarding the officials under house arrest, Ji Zha sensed something bad.

However, the arrow is on the string and must be fired!

Jizha was not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of losing his reputation.

The relationship between Qingji and Helu is like two tigers fighting each other, one of them will surely die!

Jizha just wanted to resolve the civil war in Wu as soon as possible. Whether Helu won or Qingji won, it didn't matter to Jizha.

Because no matter what the outcome is, Jizha will choose to live in seclusion and not be involved in worldly affairs from now on!

At midnight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

East of Wudu City.

Jizha is holding a bronze sword and standing on the chariot. Behind him are private soldiers wearing various costumes, but everyone is holding a weapon!

These private soldiers are all private soldiers and retainers of various officials.

In terms of individual combat capabilities, they are better than the regular army!

"Second and Third Sons, please join me in slaying the traitors and returning them to the King's Master!"

"kill!"

Jizha led hundreds of private soldiers as promised and tried to capture the city gate in one fell swoop.

Before giving the order to launch the attack, Jizha had already ordered his men to remove dry firewood from the chariots, put them into a pile and light them, and used the fire as a signal to guide Qingji's army outside the city to enter.

"Fire the arrow!"

Following Jizha's order, the private soldiers following around drew their bows and arrows, killing many enemies who were caught off guard.

The officers and soldiers of the Helu Army who were responsible for guarding the city woke up from a dream and quickly picked up their swords and spears to fight with these private soldiers.

With a "swish" sound, Ji Zha stood on the chariot, swung his sword like a blue dragon out of the sea, sealed his throat with one sword, and quickly killed an enemy soldier.

He was always strong, with one man and one sword, coupled with the speeding chariot, he actually killed many enemy soldiers in less than a stick of incense!

"superior!"

"Hold them off!"

"Fire the arrow quickly!"

The soldiers of the Helv Army on the top of the city quickly raised their bows and arrows, and all the arrows were shot at the private soldiers below.

"Pfft!"

Most of these private soldiers did not wear armor or shields, so when the arrows were shot, they could only block them with their swords and knock away one arrow after another.

But in this desperate situation, how many people can block the chaotic arrows in front of them?

Therefore, under several rounds of arrows from Helu's army, the private soldiers had already suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the distance from the bottom of the city to the top of the city is not far!

The private soldiers took advantage of the situation and attacked the city road, fighting the enemy one on one in the narrow corridor.

Suddenly, east of the city gate of Wudu, mourning was everywhere, and corpses were lying everywhere!

Jizha led his troops to quickly seize the city gate and opened it, preparing to welcome Qingji's army in.

At this time, bonfires were burning in the sky and thick smoke was billowing, forming a scorching fire dragon.

Such a big movement and such a conspicuous fire can be clearly seen from more than ten miles away!

However, Jizha could not wait for Qingji to lead his army into the city!

Jizha couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

At this critical moment, could something be wrong with Qingji?

While Jizha was waiting for Qingji's army, Helu was also waiting for Qingji to lead his army to come in!

Wu Zixu really knew things like a god.

After guessing that Jizha might be colluding with Qing Ji and secretly colluding with the officials in the city to start an uprising, Helu did not dare to neglect and quickly mobilized his troops and concentrated them to the east of Wu's capital city.

Prepare to catch turtles in the urn, and catch Qing Ji and his men here in one fell swoop!

However, the development of things was somewhat unexpected.

Jizha and Helu waited for a long time, but no Qingji army came in. There was no one outside the wide open city gate!

When Helu saw this, he couldn't help but said in shock: "Qingji didn't even show up until now!"

"Is it possible that Qing Ji couldn't trust Jizha and just thought it was a trick by Jizha and the others to surrender?"

Wu Zixu, who was standing on one side, felt doubtful in his heart.

At this time, thousands of soldiers and horses of Helu's army were already lined up on the streets. Just waiting for Helu's order, they rushed forward and strangled the private soldiers who were causing trouble, as well as the officers and soldiers of Qingji's army who entered the city!
