Chapter 656 The life of Zhou Buyan and Lingzhou's love for each other
The drama of the civil and military officials falling in love with me was very lively, but soon the peace was broken.
As expected, the State of Wu came and attacked very fiercely, trying desperately to take back Qingshan City.
This time they spent a lot of money, almost all the strength of the country, and the poison came one after another.
Zhou Buyan just arrived at Qingshan City and soon joined the battle.
If it weren't for the fact that Qingshan City was already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it wasn't for the explosives, they were so crazy that Da Chu couldn't resist them and would have been defeated steadily.
Everyone knew that this battle was crucial, so Wu State tried its best, and Chu could only hold on to the end without retreating.
But it was indeed very difficult. In the past, explosives would have made Wu soldiers afraid of retreating, but this time they changed. It seemed that they were not afraid of death or explosives.
Zhou Buyan felt something was wrong, and it took several days to finally know the reason.
"This time the Queen of Wu issued a death order. If Qingshan City cannot be taken back, the soldiers will come to see her."
"Even if the families of those generals are not in Tianshui City, they have been gathered in Tianshui City by the Queen of Wu under various pretexts."
Those family members are actually the hostages who keep the generals obedient. This kind of thing cannot be avoided by the generals who have been highly used throughout the ages.
But this time Empress Wu did it too obviously and too forcefully.
Vice General Guan frowned as he spoke.
"Those generals know how powerful it is, but they are afraid of explosives, so they can only complain to the Queen."
"The Empress of Wu State was dissatisfied. At this time, the young prince in the harem whom she had been doting on recently gave her a suggestion, saying that in order to prevent the Wu State soldiers from being afraid of retreating and being afraid of explosives, she should simply let them not be afraid."
"The Empress of Wu State listened to his suggestion, invited the Holy Witch to go out, and put a poison on the soldiers of Wu State to control them, allowing them to rush forward, so that they would not be afraid of death."
Zhou Buyan was not surprised to hear this, "So those who rush to the front every day are all being controlled."
The people who can be pulled up and controlled are naturally ordinary soldiers, born from the lower classes.
The Queen of Wu is so ruthless and frightening.
But because it was ruthless enough, the effect was very good, and the pressure on Zhou Buyan and the others increased dramatically.
When Chu Xingchen received the news, he felt that the Queen of Wu was crazy.
There is also a real problem in front of them, and Zhou Buyan needs help.
Troops from northern Xinjiang have been mobilized, but it is not enough.
Originally, Qi State could mobilize its troops without taking action, but Qi's troops were still stationed in place, so it was not easy to act rashly.
Chu Xingchen was caught in a conflict, and at this time, after a long time, the old acquaintance from Qi State wrote another letter.
This time, the mysterious man told Chu Xingchen that Da Qi was in civil strife and had no time to worry about Da Chu, so he would not send troops for the time being.
It may be that the messages delivered a few times were all right, but this time the old acquaintance said a few more words.
He said that Qi Ming had gone crazy and was busy taking revenge and dealing with the threat of liquidating the clan.
It turns out that Qi Ming's last hope, Concubine Mi, who was pregnant with a dragon seed, also had a miscarriage.
The last hope was shattered, Qi Ming faced the reality of losing his descendants, and he went crazy.
He was not only desperate and angry for revenge, but also for his own life and to prevent others in the clan from taking over.
Da Chu has not received the news yet, and it is unclear whether this letter is true or false.
But this news is undoubtedly very important. Although Dachu has won before and there are explosives, it is also difficult for Dachu.
Dispersing troops is the biggest problem. If they can concentrate on dealing with one enemy, then they have nothing to fear.
Chu Xingchen read the letter more than a dozen times, thought about it for another night, and finally decided to trust this mysterious man again.
There was no problem with the news sent back by the mysterious person before, and more importantly, the situation over there with Zhou Buyan was indeed critical.
Chu Xingchen secretly asked Lingzhou to lead troops to support Zhou Buyan.
As for Qi State, there are still many people there. Even if Qi State does come, there will be no problem in the short term.
Lingzhou's legs had just recovered, and he went to support Zhou Buyan without stopping.
The Empress of Wu Kingdom may have seen the effectiveness of using voodoo to control people, so she intensified her efforts, and more and more people were controlled.
She even thought crazily that with this method, she would not only take back Qingshan City, but also continue the attack.
Because of this ambition, Wu State increased its military strength, almost the entire country, to expand its ambitions.
Zhou Buyan and the others were at the forefront, so of course they noticed the anomaly, and the madness and ambition of Queen Wu were fully exposed.
Originally, Qingshan City could be defended or retreated. If the casualties were too great, Zhou Buyan could lead his men to retreat first.
But after realizing the other party's ambition and realizing that it was almost a life-or-death situation, Zhou Buyan couldn't retreat.
Fortunately, when Zhou Buyan felt that he could not hold on any longer, Ling Zhou arrived with his troops and instantly turned the situation around.
Ling Zhou and Zhou Buyan had been separated before, but this was the first time they fought side by side.
Because Lingzhou still remembered Zhou Buyan's behavior of abducting Chu Xingchen before, he didn't feel good about Zhou Buyan when they met.
Zhou Buyan didn't bother to pay attention to his childish behavior.
There is no big hatred between the two love rivals, but don't expect them to be good to each other.
So the two of them acted very plastic and unfriendly.
As soon as everyone saw it, they began to worry, worrying that their relationship was not good, that they would not cooperate with each other, and that their command would be chaotic.
When Wu Guoan's people on Dachu's side saw this situation, they immediately reported the good news to Wu Guo's general.
Because Lingzhou supported the side of General Wu who had suffered a great loss, he heard that they were at odds with each other, so he felt that an opportunity had come.
"Call some generals over for a meeting."
He needs to think carefully about how to use this resentment to drive a wedge between them and defeat them.
Wu Guozhu wanted to take them down at once, so he also used the trump card that they had buried a long time ago, which was a spy on Da Chu's side.
The spies cooperated and wanted to kill them all at once by shooting cold arrows on the battlefield, killing two birds with one stone.
So when the war started again, Zhou Buyan's men took action against Lingzhou.
The people following Ling Zhou took action against Zhou Buyan.
General Wu's original intention was to cause them to kill each other.
As a result, after a long time arrangement, the two people saw each other in trouble and desperately tried to save each other.
"careful!"
"careful!"
Two people who didn't get along a second ago, risked everything to save each other, as if the other person was the most important person to them.
Because they were busy saving each other, they successfully avoided danger.
In the end, the trump card spy was killed by the two of them, and the two asked each other nervously.
"Are you okay?"
"You're not hurt?"
The two people said in unison, and after confirming that the other person was fine, they began to dislike each other again.
"How did you lead the troops? Why are there spies inside?"
"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with your people."
The two people disliked each other and were very angry, so they started to kill each other back to back.
It would really be possible for the two of them to work together. Ling Zhou is smart and clever, has a sense of the overall situation, and has the right ideas. Zhou Buyan is a ruthless person who doesn't talk much, and his force is incredible.
Wu was repulsed again and suffered heavy losses.
General Wu had been paying attention to them and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Are they sick? If they hate each other so much, why should they be saved?"
