On this trip to South Korea, Ji Jie only took Xiong Kui with him.
The reason why he left Zhaocheng with such confidence was because he was sure that the three Jin coalition forces would not launch an attack today. At most, they would surround Zhaocheng. In terms of the food stored in the city, it would be no problem to hold on for two or three years. The key is whether the coalition forces can hold on for that long.
In a battle with the Qin army, the coalition forces won a small victory. This trivial victory made them forget how little they weighed. Compared with the Qin army, all the new weapons they used were purchased from the Zhou Dynasty. They were on the same starting line. There is great uncertainty about victory or defeat.
But now we want to attack the production site of new weapons. Isn't this asking for trouble?
Sure enough, on the day Ji Jie left, the Zhao army and the Wei army surrounded Zhaocheng. The Han army stayed in the camp because the main general Han Chuang was not there.
"Your Majesty, why did you bring me out alone this time?" Xiong Kui said with a smile: "My elder brother and younger brother were not allowed to come together. They were very unhappy."
Ji Jie waved his hand and said: "This mission is different from the past. It's not like trying to find someone to go to. The reason why I took you there is because you have a good brain. If it were the two of them, they would get angry if they didn't agree with someone in Korea." Taking action will only cause more trouble."
Dazhou borders South Korea, and it only took the two of them half a day to enter South Korea.
Korea's political chaos, inconsistent laws and decrees, and the officials and people were at a loss as to what to do. King Han Hui continued to implement Shen Bulha's "technical" system, that is, the king appointed, supervised and assessed his ministers, and promoted those who were the best. Destroy the cunning and cunning people.
Shen Buhai's "technical" system has great limitations. It will be very effective if it meets a wise king, but if it meets a faint king, it will be the result of the upper beam being out of alignment and the lower beam being crooked.
This is what Korea is like now. King Han Hui acted arbitrarily and stubbornly when things happened, and most of the people he relied on were the children of the royal family or members of the aristocratic family. These people only knew how to flatter others, but had no real talent or learning.
At this time, the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, and the scenery on the road was beautiful, but Ji Jie was not in the mood to appreciate it.
After a day of running around, the two of them were tired and hungry. From a distance, they saw a small town ahead, with smoke rising from the cooking pots.
"Work harder, go to the town ahead for a big meal, and then have a good sleep!" Ji Jie clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward, with Xiong Kui following closely behind.
When we walked outside the town, the sun had completely set, and there was a strong smell of smoke in the air. Xiong Kui said with a smile: "It's amazing to be able to make a meal with such a strong smell of smoke. It's amazing." How much firewood to burn!"
Ji Jie wrinkled his nose. The rich smell of smoke carried a faint smell of blood. When did South Korea become so rich that every household could eat meat? How many poultry and livestock would have to be slaughtered?
No, it’s not animal blood, it smells like human blood!
Ji Jie, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, can easily distinguish between human blood and animal blood. He said solemnly: "If your guess is correct, this town has just been looted by bandits. Come on, follow me in and take a look!"
When he walked into the town, everything was in a mess. The burning houses and dead bodies on the ground proved that he was right.
"Wow..."
When he saw that the wooden beams of the house were burned and the roof collapsed, Xiong Kui rode around the town and came back and said: "Several big houses in the town were looted. This group of bandits were ruthless enough and left no one behind." There are still horse hoof prints and footprints left in the west. The bandits came on horseback, and the footprints should be those of the townspeople they kidnapped. The footprints are small and shallow, indicating that the people they kidnapped must be women or children."
"Chase!" Ji Jie made the decision without thinking.
The approximate time of death can be judged from the dead bodies on the ground. This group of bandits should have arrived here an hour ago. After looting, they left with their property and prisoners, and they left no more than half an hour later.
Working hard, Ji Jie and Xiong Kui caught up with the bandits a quarter of an hour later.
This is a bandit organization of less than fifty people. Each person has a horse and a variety of weapons in their hands. The only thing they have in common is the blood stains that have not yet dried on them. A dozen young women are tied up with ropes and their hands and feet are connected in a string. , walked forward crying, and from time to time someone would yell and curse, saying they were walking too slowly.
Walking at the front was a middle-aged man who was blind in one eye. He wore a black eyepatch over his blind eye, a hero's scarf on his head, a long bronze sword hanging from his waist, and a compound bow and arrow kettle hung on his saddle.
Immediately behind him was a guy with the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat. He looked back at the crying woman, with a lustful expression on his face.
"Brother, this vote is really not small!" The deer-headed and rat-eyed man smiled and said to the one-eyed dragon in front: "Not only did I rob hundreds of taels of gold, but I also got so many beautiful little ladies, brothers, what are you doing? Enjoyed it!”
The corner of the one-eyed dragon's mouth turned up slightly, and he said: "Mouse, follow my one-eyed dragon, enjoy the good life and drink hot food, not only share the gold and silver, but also ensure that the thing in your crotch is not idle! By the way, I am the eldest lady of the Chen family. Yes, none of you should have any ideas about her!"
"That's that!" The guy named Mouse nodded quickly, thinking that Miss Chen was the most beautiful of the captured women. If he could sleep with her, it would be worth his life!
Thinking of this, Mouse couldn't help but turn around again and found the beautiful Miss Chen Yao from the Chen family in the crowd.
The main reason why the bandits chose this little-known town to attack was because of the wealthy Chen family in the town. Chen Yao's father once served as the Prime Minister of South Korea. He resigned from office a few years ago, and Ye Luo returned to his roots here.
Chen Yao is a well-known beauty and a well-known talented woman. She has been involved in hundreds of schools of thought. She has just turned eighteen this year, and people who propose marriage usually kick down the threshold of her home, including many She is a descendant of the royal family, but she is so arrogant and arrogant that no one can take notice of her.
"Xiong Kui, enter!"
Xiong Kui nodded and walked back to the front of the team from the side. Without saying a word, he took out his steel longbow and shot an arrow at the one-eyed dragon.
The one-eyed dragon subconsciously dodged, and the arrow missed him, and shot into the mouse's left chest.
"Who dares to fight against my Poison Dragon Gang? I'm tired of living!" Seeing that Xiong Kui was the only one, One-Eyed Dragon suddenly felt confident and ordered the team to stop: "You guys, go and kill him for me!"
More than a dozen minions brandished weapons and attacked Xiong Kui.
Xiong Kui took his time and shot three arrows in a very short period of time. The three minions were hit by the arrows and fell from their horses. Then he showed his giant ax and started a melee with the remaining people.
The minions were hacked to death by him one after another. The one-eyed dragon was shocked and wondered where did this guy come from and how could he be so powerful? I said, brothers, why are you still standing there? Let's rush forward together.
More minions rushed forward, leaving only a dozen people watching the women.
Ji Jie clamped his legs together, and the horse raised its four hooves and rushed towards him. He took out a sun-shooting bow and put five arrows on it. The bow formed a full moon and the arrows looked like shooting stars!
