While King Wuyou was still on the road, he received a secret report from the enemy: King Shun was ambushed!
King Wuyou couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the superstition. He immediately ordered Lu Zheng and others to hurry up and go to Lincheng. As soon as the group arrived at Lincheng, Zhuge Qingyun hurriedly sent the flying letter from Lucheng.
King Wuyou didn't bother to change his clothes, so he took the Feishu and read it. This was written by King Ping, telling King Wuyou about the changes in the war in Shu. King Shun was ambushed by the Shu army, was hit by several arrows, and was seriously injured. The Shu army was in critical condition.
Taking advantage of the unstable morale of the Qi army, they launched a counterattack. The King of Qi had sent an order for King Ping to enter Shu to stabilize the morale of the army and take over the Qi army and allied forces in Shu.
After King Wuyou read the letter, he handed the letter to Zhuge Qingyun, and then issued an order: Lincheng and Hecheng strengthen their defenses; quickly fly to Shuzilong and get ready, he will go to the enemy in person and command his troops to attack the Shu army.
Zhuge Qingyun frowned after reading this letter, looked up at King Wuyou and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the enemy's situation is at this time. Why don't I go to the enemy first, meet up with General Zilong, and exchange news with the allied forces?
Now, you can go over again."
King Wuyou shook his head and said to Zhuge Qingyun: "Thank you General Zhuge. You are worried about my safety. Why don't I worry about my father's safety? At this time, my father may have already left. I need to go to Shu as soon as possible to control the army.
, once our more than 300,000 coalition troops waver, our battle against Shu will fall short!"
Zhuge Qingyun knew that King Wuyou had made up his mind and said nothing more. He turned around and ordered the generals to return to their respective stations to strengthen their defenses. At the same time, he mobilized three thousand elite light cavalry to be ordered at any time.
King Wuyou looked at Zhuge Qingyun, the two looked at each other and nodded towards each other.
The Qi army besieging Yucheng was attacked by the Shu army because King Shun was injured. King Shun had already told Qi Lu before he fell into coma: to retreat to Wucheng to wait for King Qi's reinforcements. Qi Lu commanded the troops to fight and retreat, and retreated.
Arrive at Wucheng. At this time, Qi Lu and the generals were making preparations for defense, and on the other hand, they were anxiously waiting for the arrival of King Ping.
The Dali, Chu, and Yue armies that besieged Chengcheng were also counterattacked by the Shu army. Fortunately, the coalition forces, under the command of Huo Yuan, repelled the Shu army's counterattack, and then broke camp and returned to Fangyicheng and Lucheng. Chengcheng
The Shu army did not dare to pursue the attack again, but quickly recaptured the previously lost city defenses.
In Wucheng, King Shun was still unconscious. The military doctor had taken out the bow and arrow from King Shun. The injury from the arrow was nothing to be afraid of, but one of the sharp arrows was coated with poison, causing the wound to fester and never heal.
Qi Lu stayed by his father's side every day, hoping that King Shun would wake up soon. The generals knew that Prince Qi Lu was worried about King Shun's injury, and rarely bothered him. He just took precautions in the city. The Shu army outside Wucheng
After the pursuit, due to lack of troops and the inability to besiege the city, they retreated to Pingqiao Town to confront the Qi army from a distance.
At this time, more than a dozen fast horses came under the north gate of Wucheng. The soldiers guarding the city saw it from a distance and were on guard. Any soldiers reported to the guarding generals. After hearing the news, Zhang Tongtao, the guard at the north gate, hurriedly led
A group of soldiers climbed up the city wall and looked at the dozen or so people who had arrived not far from the city gate. One of the first men rode over and shouted to the city: "I am Lu Zheng, the general guarding in front of King Wuyou's tent. The people on the city are
Which general is on duty?"
Zhang Tongtao had naturally heard of Lu Zheng's name, but was not familiar with it, so he replied loudly: "I am Zhang Tongtao, the Qi army guard general, guarding the north gate. You said you are General Lu, what is the proof?"
Lu Zheng raised the big halberd in his hand high and said loudly: "General Zhang, I have heard about the name for a long time. You must have heard of the big halberd in Lu's hand. Behind him is King Wuyou himself.
When you arrive, please open the city gate, the prince is going into the city to visit Prince Shun!"
When Zhang Tongtao heard that Lu Zheng said that King Wuyou had arrived, he laughed loudly and said: "Looking at your halberd, I can believe that you are General Lu. But when you said that King Wuyou is here, I don't believe it. Wuyou
Prince You is still in Lincheng at this time. Even if he came to help, he should have rushed here with General Zilong. Why did he come alone! Don't even think about opening my city gate. Leave quickly, or I will draw my bow.
Shoot the arrow!"
Lu Zheng waved the halberd in his hand, shook his head, and said: "General Zhang, you may be careful, but King Wuyou has really arrived. You'd better open the door. Let's go in, and you'll see us."
Are you the prince?"
When King Wuyou heard the answer from behind, he rushed forward and shouted to Zhang Tongtao: "General Zhang, I am Qi Si, do you recognize me?!"
Zhang Tongtao looked carefully, but he didn't know who King Wuyou was? Zhang Tongtao had been serving in Long Xiang's army and had also met King Wuyou in Lucheng. He knew that this young prince was the first-class arrogant. Now meet King Wuyou
Just below the city, he hurriedly apologized: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I didn't know that you were coming in person, so I was negligent. I will go down to greet you!"
When King Wuyou entered the city, he did not care to listen to Zhang Tongtao's explanation. He only said hastily: "General Zhang, take me to the commander's mansion quickly!" Zhang Tongtao knew that King Wuyou was worried about King Shun's injury, so he did not dare to
No longer wordy, he turned his horse and took King Wuyou away to the Commander's Mansion.
When Qi Lu heard the footsteps outside, he felt irritable and secretly scolded the guards for not knowing what was good for them. He actually let people in at this time. He wanted to scold but was afraid of alarming King Shun, so he got up and walked to the door, wanting to teach the visitor a lesson. But.
As soon as the door opened, the dusty King Wushu came in from the outside.
When Qi Lu saw King Wuyou, his throat suddenly tightened, his nose felt sore, and tears welled up. He rushed forward, hugged King Wuyou, and began to cry bitterly. He shouted: "Brother Si, why are you here?"
?Why did you come here!"
King Wuyou hugged Qi Lu, patted his back, and let him cry happily on his shoulder. When Qi Lu's crying gradually subsided, King Wuyou said: "Brother Lu, Brother Si is here, you
But don’t worry! Take me to see Uncle Shun Wang quickly!”
Qi Lu hurriedly stopped his sadness and pulled King Wuyou towards the window where King Shun was lying.
King Wuyou stood in front of the bed, looking at King Shun lying on the bed, and felt sad. King Shun was originally the most elegant prince in the Qi Kingdom. He was handsome and unrestrained in life. Even though he was over forty years old, he was still graceful and suave.
At this time, King Shun's face was as pale as paper, his breath was like a gossamer, and the wound on his right shoulder was still bleeding with pus and blood, exuding a foul smell. This was nothing like the Uncle Shun Wang he was familiar with in the past. King Wuyou felt sad, but
His expression remained unchanged, and he said to the military doctor who came with him: "Doctor Ji, come and take a look."
Then he stood up and said to Qi Lu: "Brother Lu, please tell the generals to come quickly, but there is no need to tell them that I am coming!"
When Qi Lu saw King Wuyou, his heart was filled with determination. When he heard King Wuyou calling for a lucky doctor, he felt even more happy. He said: "Obey the order" and turned around to go out.
King Wuyou asked Doctor Ji to come forward. Doctor Ji was an old man in his fifties, with a few short strands of beard, a ruddy complexion, and shining eyes. Although he looked old, he was in excellent spirits and had no worries.
King You came running all the way without feeling tired at all. Doctor Ji took a chair and sat in front of the bed. He first looked at King Shun's body and expression, lifted his nose and smelled the stench emanating from the wound, and then lightly
He frowned and checked King Shun's pulse.
Doctor Ji checked his pulse and shook his head gently. After a while, he put King Shun's wrist back on the bed, stood up and glanced at King Wuyou. King Wuyou naturally understood, and waved his hand to signal everyone to go out first.
Divine Doctor Ji bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Prince Shun's arrow injury lasted only a short time. If it was just an external injury, it is not serious. But the arrow is poisonous and has penetrated into the five internal organs. I'm afraid Prince Shun's time is running out."
After hearing this, King Wuyou frowned and asked: "Miracle Doctor Ji, since the arrow injury is not harmful and is only caused by poison, then just detoxify my uncle Wang. Isn't it that you can't detoxify this poison?"
Doctor Ji laughed dryly twice, and then said with some awe: "My lord, you are looking down on me! I think this poison was made by the Tang Sect in Sichuan. The Tang Sect's poison has never been spread to outsiders, and all those infected are incurable."
.I have also encountered injured people who were poisoned by the Tang Sect. The injuries were all on the limbs, so I treated them by amputation. But Prince Shun's injury was on the shoulder blade and could not be amputated. Moreover, the poisonous gas had entered the meridians and five internal organs, and he was afraid of old age.
It’s hard to recover!”
After hearing this, King Wuyou nodded and asked again: "What if we find the Tang Sect and get the antidote?"
Doctor Ji thought for a while and said: "According to my diagnosis, as far as Prince Shun's pulse is concerned, if I scrape Prince Shun's bones and remove the rotten flesh, the wound will no longer rot. If someone from the Tang Sect is found within three days, I can do it."
With treatment, we can be 50% sure!”
King Wuyou turned around and glanced at King Shun, and then said to Doctor Ji: "Miracle Doctor Ji will be ready. When my brother Lu comes back, I will explain to the generals and you will scrape the bones of my Uncle Shun to heal his wounds."
After being summoned by Qi Lu, all the generals of the Qi army came to the commander's mansion. As soon as they entered the lobby, they saw a person sitting behind the commander's desk, and it was King Wuyou.
The generals who arrived came to greet each other one by one. King Wuyou just nodded slightly and said they had seen each other. Most of the Qi troops accompanying King Shun to the Shu Kingdom were Longxiang troops and Xuzhou soldiers. These generals were all King Shun's old troops and accompanied him personally.
Since King Shun was ambushed and fell into coma, the generals have still been able to obey Qi Lu's orders. However, the morale of the army has been unstable. Some generals have looked down upon Qi Lu, and there have been some private discussions: thinking that if King Shun is not cured, Long will
Who will control the Xiang army?
Now that King Wuyou is sitting in command, everyone is secretly thinking that it seems that King Wuyou will be in charge of the Longxiang Army and the Qi Army that conquered Shu.
King Wuyou waited until all the generals had gathered before he said slowly: "Generals, I am King Wuyou of Qi State. I think everyone will recognize me. Although I am not familiar with all the generals, I have heard that
The reputation of the generals exceeds that of other generals. King Shun accidentally fell into an ambush by the Shu army a few days ago and was slightly injured. Today I have brought Doctor Ji from our army over to treat King Shun. Doctor Ji wants to learn from Nahua.
Tuo, scrape the bones of my Uncle Wang to heal his wounds, hoping that Uncle Wang will wake up tomorrow or tomorrow."
Having said this, King Wuyou paused for a moment and looked around at the generals. Of course Qi Lu became very happy, and all the generals in the hall also looked happy.
King Wuyou looked at it and then said: "King Qi is worried about King Shun's injury, and has also ordered my father, King Ping, to come and temporarily take over the commander's seal. It is estimated that my father will be able to arrive at Wucheng in three or two days. I am here.
The army of the city is also marching towards the city under the command of General Zilong at this time. The generals must have been hunted down by the Shu army in the past few days, and they must be simmering with anger in their hearts?"
When King Wuyou said this, the generals were at first reassured, and then aroused their resentment towards the Shu army, and they all responded: "What the prince said is that the Shu army used a cunning plan to ambush and hurt King Shun, and took advantage of our absence."
Bei, we chased all the way to Wucheng, and just retreated to Pingqiao Town two days ago. Now Prince Wuyou is here, and Prince Ping is also coming to take command, so we will go back and annihilate the Shu army in Pingqiao Town!"
