After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 44
The mouth of the valley was uneven, a peasant couldn't stand upright, the bamboo basket was overturned on the ground, and several stones rolled out.

The servant was startled, and quickly put the stones back into the bamboo basket, looked around again, but seeing no movement, he continued to carry the stones as if nothing happened.

stone!These insidious Han troops!

Jian Yue almost yelled out that the hunting traps of the tribe still contained at least a piece of meat, and they wanted to use stones to lure us into the trap.

No, the two came back to their senses, turned around and ran in the direction they came from. Since the food brought here was fake, it must still be in the field.

After a while, a figure jumped down from where the two were standing, and whistled. Countless figures passed through the treetops and rushed along another road.

Panting and Jianyue ran back to the place where the tribe was staying, looking from the branches and leaves, the field was empty and pitch black.

"Where's the food? Where's my food?" Jian Yue asked loudly, grabbing a tribe member.

The tribe's mind went blank, and they subconsciously shouted: "It's not me, I didn't take it."

Angrily, Jian Yue kicked him to the ground.

Fang found a quick-minded clansman to tell what happened just now.

After the transportation team and the Han army left, the rest of the people tidied up and left with the bamboo baskets in the dark.

Looking along the fingers of the tribe, it was the direction of Gumi City.

It's over, it's really over, the two of them traveled back and forth for dozens of miles just now, and this place is only more than 20 miles away from Gumi City, it is estimated that the food is about to enter the city now.

Jian Yue wailed and collapsed on the ground. The clansmen didn't know what happened, but they also felt that something was wrong.

Fang Fang's eyes flickered, he clapped his palms suddenly, and burst out laughing.

Crazy, never thought that such a smart person as Fang could not bear this blow, Jian Yue felt much better in his heart, and was about to say a few words of comfort.

"Go, grab the food!" Fang Fang was in high spirits.

"Snatch food?" Seeing Yue confused, "Go to Gumi City to grab food?"

"Yes, think about it, where is the Han army now?"

"The Han army, isn't it waiting for us to be fooled in the valley?" Jian Yue's eyes lit up, "Yes, there is no Han army in the city now, hahahaha."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"The Han army treats us as stupid pigs, but they themselves are." Seeing that Yue was very happy, he hurriedly ordered his tribes to attack Gumi City with Fang.

Under the night, Gumi City is quiet, only the grasshoppers chirping in the crevices of the rocks. When someone approached, they stopped for a while and found that there was no danger, and then began to sing happily.

Fang and Jianyue were also in a happy mood. The city gate was clearly visible under the moonlight. A few tribesmen who were good at climbing easily climbed over the city wall and opened the city gate gently without a single guard.

It is more than 30 miles away from the valley where the Han army ambushed. As long as you move quickly, you are absolutely sure to evacuate the food before the Han army gets the news.

The two waved their hands, and the tribe rushed into the city after them.

Lighting these huge torches outside the city lord's mansion pointed the way for them. Only the warehouses and backyards of the city lord's mansion can store so much food. The tribe has come to snatch it several times, so it is naturally clear.

The only strange thing is that no one in the city was awakened. Could it be that they were too tired to harvest rice during the day and fell asleep?

A trace of doubt flashed in Fang's mind, but before he could think about it, the door of the backyard had been kicked open, and rows of bamboo baskets were neatly stacked there, piled high.

Someone took the torch, and the two looked at it by the light of the fire, empty?
The lower row is still empty, and the lower row is still empty.

The bamboo baskets were opened one by one, and they were all empty.

warehouse!The two looked at each other, and rushed in together.

The warehouse is also full of bamboo baskets, but they are also empty...

Where the hell? ...

The two rushed out of the courtyard again. The courtyard was full of people standing inside and outside. It was very lively just now, but now it gradually calmed down, and they all looked at their leader.

There was still silence in the city, only the sound of burning torches.

"It's still... fooled." Fang Bitter said.

The city gate was full of flames, and the Han army came in in a neat line, their sharp blades gleaming coldly under the flames.

Countless black shadows appeared vaguely on the roof and on the city wall.

Jian Yue shouted wildly, raised the bronze sword in his hand and rushed towards the Han army. As the leader, he can still have a good weapon.

The clansmen behind them also shouted, holding bamboo spears and sticks and rushing forward together.

"Whoosh whoosh" countless feather arrows flew in the darkness, the tribe screamed and fell down, and Jianyue had already rushed in front of the Han army.

Standing in the middle of the front row, Han Zhan sneered and raised the newly equipped iron sword with both hands, and slashed down hard.

The iron sword chopped off the copper sword without hindrance, and then easily split the burly body in half.

The scene became quiet again, except for the moaning tribe on the ground, no one dared to rush up again.

Fang's body trembled, and he fell to the ground slowly, shouting in his mouth, "I wish to surrender!"

The tribe behind fell to the ground.

"You are Fang?" Meng Di walked in front of everyone.

"Yes, please forgive me, my lord." Fang didn't dare to raise his head.

"It seems that you are a smart person. There is not much food on the mountain?"

"Not enough for the winter."

"You are wondering, where is the food?"

"Beware of being stupid, I really don't know."

"No, you are not stupid, you are smarter than other Shanyue, but you are the one who cheated." Mengdi laughed loudly, and everyone laughed along with him.

The food is hidden in the valley, and there are only dozens of young and strong guards.When Fang found out, he was so regretful that his intestines turned green, and he still laughed at Li as a stupid pig, but he was himself.

"Get up, this is the best result. At the bottom of the mountain, at least you won't starve to death." With the food, Meng Di had the confidence to say so.

Most of the land in Han is mountainous and forested, and it has always been dominated by mountains and mountains. This is a good time to understand the situation, and Meng Di takes Fang to the city lord's mansion for questioning.

As far as Fang knew, there were still more than 3000 people in Shanyue, most of whom were in the Fanghe Jianyue tribe, mostly old and young, women and children. There were [-] people who came to grab food this time, all young and strong.

The mountains and forests are stretching, and there are still tribes in the distance, the specific situation is unknown.

The most valuable information I got from Fang Zui was that there is a trail leading to the north in the mountain, and after leaving the trail, go north and you can reach Dajiang (Yangtze River).

In this way, Handi has a passage to the north.

The time agreed with Ji Chao to return to Chu has come, but with this channel, the journey to Wandi is greatly shortened.

Ji Chao didn't know what happened in Gumi City. After offering sacrifices to the bird god, he was taken to the hometown of the Han people for a tour.

Meng Di asked Xiaowuxiaoliu to take Youqu and five hundred minions up the mountain to escort Ji Chao directly from the trail to Chu State, and ordered that no one should be informed about the subjugation of the Shanyue tribe.The main reason is that Ji Chao is afraid to bring the four clans over because he is worried about the sudden increase in the strength of Han.

Xiao Wu has already returned from Li Li, and it can be seen that Gou Jian did not take Meng Di's reminder to heart. After all, what he occupies is a fertile land, the land of rice, so how could he give up so easily.

Mengdi's arrangement is that Xiaowu leads Youqu to escort him all the way to Wandi, while Xiaoliu finds the black stone mentioned by Ji Chao after crossing the river, and transports it back.
