Ji Jie declined Bu Feng's request to go with him. It was not easy for him to become a general in such a short period of time. The most important thing was that there was such a person guarding the northern gate of Chu State. Once the two countries developed, the Great Zhou Dynasty
From here, the army can penetrate directly into the capital of Ying, the state of Chu. The importance of Bu Feng cannot be underestimated.
"Your Majesty, let me escort you to South Korea with my bodyguard!" Bu Feng requested.
Ji Jie shook his head and said: "The less people know about the relationship between you and me, the better! Don't worry, I will send people in the Chu State Military to help you take care of everything, and there will be a dedicated person responsible for contacting you. Remember, everything
careful!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bu Feng bowed deeply to Ji Jie and watched the caravan leave.
Three miles out of the border, Ji Jie decided to divide his troops into two groups. The large army still marched according to the planned route. Sima Xueran and Chen Yao disguised themselves as guards to hide their eyes from others. He took the three brothers of the Xiong family and Li Yuechan on a small road to attract Cao Qiudao's attention.
force.
"Isn't that too dangerous?" Chen Yao grabbed Ji Jie's hand and refused to let go, saying, "I feel like a few hundred people are accompanying me for protection. How can the five of you be Cao Qidao's opponent?"
Ji Jie said with a smile: "The fewer people there are, the smaller the target. The purpose of doing this is to let Cao Qiudao know that I am not in the big team, so that you and Ranran can return to Dazhou smoothly, where there are a lot of jobs for you."
Let the two of you deal with it! Once we divide our forces, Cao Qiudao will waste most of his time looking for me. Then I will lead him in circles, and when he is almost exhausted, I will jump out and chop him with a knife. The problem is
solve!"
Ji Jie said it very easily. Sima Xueran and Chen Yao were still a little worried, but Li Yuechan didn't believe it. After all, she had been a member of the Cao family for more than ten years and still had some personal admiration for Cao Qiudao.
If the problem could be solved, Cao Qiudao would have died countless times.
The purpose of keeping Li Yuechan was to deal with Cao Qiudao. Who told her to know this sword master so well!
The large army set off first, and after they left, Ji Jie asked the three brothers to leave traces of their division nearby to attract Cao Qiudao's attention.
Sure enough, Cao Qiudao learned at the first opportunity that Ji Jie had not left with the large army, and that the large group was just a cover.
"They say Zhao Wenjun is benevolent and righteous, but I think his reputation is in vain!" Cao Qiudao said while looking at the wounds on his body that were about to heal: "Let a team of several hundred people cover for you and pass on my order to a team of six killers.
Act together to intercept Ji Jie in the shortest possible time and deal with the people around him! As for Ji Jie himself, leave it to me!"
"yes!"
Little did he know that he was thinking the opposite. Instead of hundreds of people covering for Ji Jie, it was Ji Jie who was covering for them.
There are six assassination teams, each with twenty-four people, plus Cao Qiudao, a total of one hundred and forty-five people, while Ji Jie only has five.
The assassination team was selected from the direct descendants of the Cao family. Their combat effectiveness was even higher than the shadow guards raised by the Cao family. Moreover, they were accustomed to fighting together. A square formation of twenty-four people could defeat enemies several times their own size.
Under normal circumstances, one assassination team is enough to deal with a target of about ten people. Cao Qiudao activated all the teams at once, which shows how much Ji Jie attaches importance to him.
In this way, Ji Jie ran in front and the assassination team chased behind, going in many circles.
After chasing for more than a day, the secret whistle team did not chase even a rabbit and became headless flies. Cao Qiudao arrived very angry about this. After carefully studying the chasing routes of each team, he came to a conclusion: Ji Jie basically led these people in circles within a thirty-mile radius.
He recalled the six assassination teams one by one, rearranged and assigned tasks.
The six groups set off from six different directions and advanced in a fan-shaped search team until they surrounded Ji Jie and others, and then gathered together to annihilate them.
Cao Qiudao was stationed in the northwest because Ji Jie appeared in that area three or four times.
While chasing and running endlessly, by a small river, the three brothers were drinking their horses, and Ji Jie and Li Yuechan were sitting on a stone by the river talking.
"According to my analysis, the six most effective assassination teams of the Cao family have all arrived!" Li Yuechan analyzed: "From yesterday to today, there are at least four different teams following us, and the other two should be nearby too!"
"What's your suggestion?" Ji Jie rarely asked her humbly. He had always been the one giving orders.
Li Yuechan looked up at the sky and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't choose a fixed place to take them in a circle, otherwise they might be surrounded by enemies!"
Ji Jie smiled and said mysteriously: "It's not very possible, but it's certain!"
"What, you mean we are surrounded?" Li Yuechan's eyes widened in surprise.
Ji Jie nodded and said: "If Cao Qiudao doesn't even have this ability, how can he get the famous name of Sword Master? Don't worry, we will be fine. I don't want to leave here. Just to cut off its wings, you said that the Cao family’s assassination team is very strong, and keeping these people here will be a disaster sooner or later!”
Li Yuechan's eyes widened even more, and she said with a wry smile: "You are really very courageous, you actually want to take advantage of Cao Qidao, be careful not to lose the rice!"
"Don't worry, I'm sensible!" Ji Jie walked to a high ground not far away and said, "That place will become the cemetery of the Cao family! By the way, can you contact some shadow guards who have complaints against the Cao family and let's fight together? Cao Qiudao."
Li Yuechan shook her head and said: "Those of us have been instilled with the idea of being loyal to the Cao family and the head of the family since childhood. It is harder to make them betray the Cao family than to kill them!"
"What about you?" Ji Jie said with a smile, "I think it's easy for you to be kidnapped by me. It's not too difficult!"
"Tch!" Li Yuechan made an expression like "I despise you" and said, "I am an exception. If I hadn't followed Cao Qiudao for a long time and been exposed to too many things that others could never imagine, I would have been loyal to him. You Don't even think about it. I can only promise to come forward and ask them not to be your enemy. As for defection, it cannot be solved in a short time."
"It doesn't matter!" Ji Jie shrugged. The group of guards Ji Xueling trained in Da Zhou was no worse than the Cao family's shadow guards.
After a short break, Ji Jie and the other five went to the high ground and built some simple defenses on it. A medium-sized trebuchet stood in the middle. Xiong Ba and Xiong Kui were responsible for loading and resetting the arm, and Xiong Ben was responsible for firing. The Zhentian artillery shell placed on the pallet is the latest successfully developed steel ball anti-personnel bomb. In addition to the prefabricated fragments outside the shell, it also contains hundreds of small steel balls about one centimeter in diameter. The explosion's killing range is about thirty feet.
"Whenever an enemy appears, kill me immediately!" Ji Jie ordered.
"Yes!" the three brothers repeated in unison: "Bomb them all to death!"
