Chapter 517 Robbery Camp
Pingjing Pass is located between two mountains. The high mountains stand tall like a screen, and there is a lowland that is not too wide between the two mountains. Pingjingguan is in the raised part of this lowland, and the situation is very dangerous.

Back then, Emperor Taizu chose Changge City as the imperial city. Part of the reason was because it had the best barrier in the Great Zhou. Even if foreign enemies invaded, it would be difficult to pass through Pingjing Pass.

It was also the reason why Xiao Junjue chose to go to Gushanzhai and spare Pingjing Pass.

On this day, Xiao Junjue went out to fight in person.

"His Royal Highness Chu, do you still recognize me?"

On the high wall, a person shouted loudly, with a provocative meaning.

Xiao Junjue rode his horse a few steps forward, looked up, he squinted his eyes, but he could only see the outline of a person clearly.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and the king of Chu doesn't know me anymore? It's really a nobleman who forgets things. Then I will remind the king of Chu. 13 years ago, the king of Chu was beaten by a hundred army sticks because of a woman, and he was demoted to a centurion." long."

Xiao Junjue frowned and recalled, Nighthawk had a quick brain and a good memory, and when he was demoted to be a centurion, he remembered who it was.

He shouted towards the high wall: "Who am I? It turns out to be the Hu Kun who bullied the domineering girl. Why aren't you dead yet?"

"Haha, thanks to General Ying, I not only live a good life, but also have a prosperous career."

Speaking of Hu Kun, it has been a long time.He is originally Xiao Junjue's old department, he has followed for many years, he can be considered a talent, proficient in everything with swords, swords and sticks, for his martial arts, Xiao Junjue also thinks highly of him.

It's just that this person has a fatal Achilles' heel, which is lust.When Xiao Junjue was guarding the border, he had clearly stipulated that soldiers and generals were not allowed to do things that bullied women, and those who violated it would be shot to death.

After being insulted, the woman refused to be humiliated and hanged herself.

With this death, the matter was brought to the attention of Xiao Junjue.

Although he cherishes talents, the laws in the army cannot be violated. Xiao Jun is going to kill him.At that time, including Nighthawk Night Owl and others, they all pleaded for him.

In the end, Xiao Jun thought that he had military merits, and he was extrajudicially merciful, but although capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be forgiven. Xiao Jun Jue ordered a hundred army sticks to be punished, and was demoted from general to centurion.

Xiao Junjue also remembered, he said: "Hu Kun, although you were lustful in the past, you were also a talented person, now the king of Qi is in chaos and has lost the hearts of the people, the situation in the world has been settled, why can't you understand? If you are smart, it is a wise move for you to open the door now and turn to the light."

Hu Kun rested his fists on his waist, laughed loudly and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, the King of Chu will be joking too." The smile faded away, "It's clear that you, the King of Chu, are bewitching people's hearts and plotting wrongdoings, and you are still talking about it here. What kind of teacher is you? It's just a joke in the world."

He pointed at Xiao Jun's formula, "The King of Chu is thinking about our past friendship. I would like to advise you, withdraw your troops obediently and return to your Yizhou. The King of Qi has a lot of people and will never embarrass you again."

"Hu Kun, I really regret making your request now, I should have asked the prince to kill you, a ruthless bastard!" Nighthawk cursed.

Hu Kun snorted coldly, and said: "I made many military exploits back then, and I was never afraid of death, but how did he treat me? Could it be compared to my credit? How did he treat me? How did he treat me? You want to show the whole army to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and use me to make an example of chickens and monkeys!"

Out of anger, he even roared, spewing out spit, "He was afraid that if he really killed me, it would cause dissatisfaction among the brothers below, so he pretended to be kind and spared my life. He also wanted to show that he was clear about rewards and punishments. The entire army beat me with a hundred lashes and demoted my rank. I am a dignified general, and he is really ruthless for asking me to be a centurion!"

Xiao Junjue said coldly: "That's because you violated the discipline in the army. You made a mistake and you should be punished!"

Hu Kun smiled sadly, "No matter how you say it, it is the arrangement of God that you and I meet under such circumstances today, and I will guard the gate here, so don't even think about it!"

Nighthawk was about to breathe fire angrily, Tie Qiang pointed at him, "Okay, then let's make gestures and see if you can hold it."

"I won't fight with you. My accusation is guarding the gate. If you want to fight with me, wait until you come in." Hu Kun laughed wildly, and after laughing, he shouted, "Set up the formation!"

The most important thing in marching and fighting is the formation of troops. Hu Kun's ability to form formations can be said to be very few. After he gave an order, he saw the King Qi's army outside the gate lined up according to the nine palaces. Gradually becoming one body, intersecting each other, this is also a nine-character chain formation.

In just a short period of time, the matchups can be formed, which shows that they have been trained by Hu Kun.

"My lord, is there a loophole in this battle?" Ye Xiao looked at such a big battle, but felt a little flustered in his heart.

Xiao Junjue looked around, "Nine-character chain formation is the most murderous formation among the top ten formations in ancient times. He not only set up five basic formations, but also arranged endless small formations. Unless you know the joint positions of his movements, Break through, otherwise there will be no exit."

He and Ye Xiao exchanged glances, "You should also know how clever Hu Kun is in setting up formations."

Ye Xiao frowned tightly, "It's really hard to see the flaw at the moment."

Nighthawk was impatient, "My lord, what should we do now? Why don't you go ahead and explore."

Xiao Junjue grabbed him, shook his head at him, thought for a moment, but said: "Withdraw!"

"Withdraw?" Nighthawk was startled, staring at Xiao Junjue.

Xiao Junjue said firmly: "Yes, this kind of formation can't be forcible, first withdraw the soldiers, and then make a long-term plan."

He never fights a battle he is not sure of. The situation he is facing now, indeed, if the whole army is mobilized, he may be able to force his way through, but this formation will lose countless lives, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Every time Xiao Junjue went to battle, Rong Zhao was terrified, and every time she waited, she was restless.

She was walking around anxiously in the tent when she was notified that the prince had returned.

Just as he was about to go out to meet him, Xiao Junjue entered the house.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Rong Zhao asked while helping him put the armor on his body.

Qingcheng brought hot water, Rong Zhao soaked it with a towel and handed it to him.Xiao Junjue wiped his face and said, "I'm in some trouble."

Seeing Rongzhao's nervous look, he stroked her face and comforted her: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about these things."

After staying for a while, Xiao Junjue called everyone to discuss matters, discussing how to deal with the enemy and how to break the formation, and he didn't come back until very late.

Rong Zhao had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw him come back, he ordered Qingcheng to serve dinner.

She didn't ask any more about the war, and she could tell he was bothered enough.

"Eat more fish." Rong Zhao continued to add vegetables to Xiao Jun's bowl, "Finish the soup."

Rong Zhao specially ordered Huotoufang to cook the dinner for the evening. Seeing him haggard in the past few days, he wanted to give him extra strength.

"Do you think I'm a child?" Xiao Junjue's frowning face broke into a smile, and he held vegetables for Rong Zhao, "Don't patronize me, you can eat too. You are pregnant now, Eat more."

He knew that although Rongzhao didn't say anything, he was actually very worried about him. He stroked her shoulders, and his broad palms touched her shoulders, which were only covered with a layer of light gauze, a little cold, "Don't worry about me."

Rong Zhao stared at him, nodded, and said with a smile, "I'm not worried about you, I just feel sorry for you."

She touched his blue-colored chin, the stubble pricked her hands, and it hadn't been shaved for several days, making him look haggard.

I feel sorry for him working day and night, and feel sorry for him who is always injured.

In fact, every time she saw him hurt, she wanted to say, stop beating, stop beating, and go home.

But every time she kept these words in her heart, she just shed tears silently.

She instigated Xiao Junjue's rebellion at the beginning, if she yelled not to fight now, where would the soldiers outside be?

Xiao Junjue hugged her tightly, smiled easily, "Since you love me so much, I'll eat more, okay?"

He began to eat with big mouthfuls, eating like a child.

He didn't know what words to use to appease Rong Zhao's distress, since she wanted him to eat more, then he would eat more.

But it may be to appease Rong Zhao, he ate too much, and in the middle of the night, he woke up with an uncomfortable stomach.

Rongzhao used to be a heavy sleeper, sleeping peacefully all night without knowing what happened, but now Xiao Junjue can wake up if there is any movement.

As soon as the curtain was parted, Rong Zhao grabbed Xiao Junjue's clothes, "What are you going to do?" His voice was soft as if he was still in a dream.

Xiao Jun kissed her forehead, "You sleep, I'll go to the side, and I'll be back soon."

"Well, hurry up then." After finishing speaking, she turned over and continued to sleep.

Xiao Junjue put on some clothes and left the tent, thinking about taking a walk to get rid of food.But as soon as he stepped out of the camp, he felt something was wrong every few steps.

There was a smell of smoke in the air, like something was burning.

"It's not good, it's not good, the enemy army has come to rob the camp!"

"Someone has come to rob the camp!"

The beating of gongs woke up the quiet night and woke up everyone in the camp.

The King Chu army is well-trained, and after the first cry, they have quickly assembled the team.

Hearing the shout, Nighthawk and the others also ran out of the camp.

Xiao Junjue left Nighthawk to protect Rong Zhao, and the rest rushed to kill the enemy with him.

This night, for the Chu king's army, the loss was heavy, not to mention the casualties, all the food and grass were burned.

Food and grass has always been the most worrying thing for Xiao Junjue, but now, it is completely gone.

After investigation, it was found that the food and grass in the rear camp were burned first, and then the soldiers discovered that someone had come to rob the camp.

For a team, the most important thing is the food and grass. Xiao Jun Jue specially asked people to watch it day and night, but when the incident happened, there was no movement. It was not until the food and grass were almost burned that no one realized it.Where did the people who guarded the food and grass before go?
Of course Xiao Junjue should be held accountable, but only when he was implicated did he realize that none of the soldiers guarding that night were alive, and all of them died in the fire with the grain and grass.

Xiao Junjue's soldiers, he knew what they were capable of, and no matter what, they would not be killed without any reaction when the enemy came to rob the camp.

No matter how you look at this matter, it is strange.
