Chapter 145 My 26 Male Servant 20
Yao Shu nodded and said, "It's good to let her suffer a little."
Wu Qingjiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, how about changing your plan?"
"Have you, Lord Wu, become soft-hearted?" Yao Shu asked curiously.
Wu Qingjiao stammered and admitted, "Yes."
Yao Shu laughed loudly: "Lord Wu, you should change your way of thinking. National reunification is a matter of time. If we lose our country, we will be the ones who get hurt. If we are not ruthless, our enemies will be ruthless to us."
Wu Qingjiao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please trust me. I will never let your Majesty's kingdom fall."
I have to admit that Yao Shu's method is correct, but it is still too cruel for a normal person.
Yao Shu waved her hand and said, "Your sincerity makes me feel relieved. I am tired and will go back first."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
Yao Shu walked outside the tent and saw Dai Honglun rushing over. Dai Honglun said, "Your Majesty, what a coincidence! I already know your plan. Are you talking to Wu Qingjiao about tonight?"
"No." Yao Shu shook her head and said, "I was talking to her about the prisoners."
"Okay then, I'll go in and inform Commander Wu." Dai Honglun saluted Yao Shu and then entered Wu Qingjiao's tent.
Yao Shu returned to the tent to sleep.
Five o'clock the next day.
Yao Shu stood up, put on his armor, and led the army fully armed to Jinxi City to dump the bodies.
Outside Jinxi City, a huge army pushed catapults and aimed at Jinxi City.
Flames shot up into the sky from Jinxi City, and the faces of the soldiers above could be clearly seen from below.
The soldiers above shouted: "Emperor Qi, you have repeatedly invaded our Chu territory. How shameless!"
The soldiers above were about to negotiate with Yao Shu, but Yao Shu didn't take them seriously at all.
Wu Qingjiao reported to Yao Shu: "Your Majesty, the slingshots and archers are ready."
Yao Shu nodded, and before the person on the other side could react, Yao Shu shouted, "Beat the drum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After three drum beats, large rocks and arrows were thrown towards Jinxi City, and they penetrated into the city along with the smell of corruption.
The soldiers above did not expect Yao Shu to be so disrespectful and directly attack them, and they also shouted quickly: "Shoot!"
Arrows from both sides fell like continuous drizzle, but Yao Shu's attack was more fierce.
Yao Shu had a protective shield in front of her to block the attack, and she was wearing armor so she didn't take any damage.
Large rocks smashed into Jinxi City, heavily hitting the soldiers defending inside. The soldiers below, along with the rotten corpses on the rocks, had their blood and flesh splattered all over their companions.
The newly appointed soldier next to him was chatting and laughing with his companions before going to the battlefield, but right after, his companions were covered in blood, a horrible sight.
The soldier froze in place. The old soldier next to him pushed him and scolded him, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Why don't you get on the wall?"
"......oh oh."
The soldiers reacted and followed the veterans to the city wall to fight.
Yao Shu's side fought more and more fiercely, mainly because the emperor was here. If she behaved diligently, she might be valued and promoted to a higher position.
Due to the existence of the moat, Yao Shu and others could not directly cross the moat to attack.
Linghu Xunmeng came to the city wall and looked at the terrifying rain of arrows like a flood, and his heart became heavier.
Linghu Xunmeng suddenly saw a calm and dignified woman standing in front of him. Looking at the situation, there were several soldiers holding shields to protect her.
Linghu Xunmeng said to his subordinates: "Bring me the bow."
"Yes."
The subordinate quickly carried a long bow to Linghu Xunmeng. Linghu Xunmeng picked up the bow and arrow, pulled the bow to its full length and aimed at Yao Shu.
"Swoosh!" It shot towards Yao Shu like lightning.
Puff, Yao Shu slightly turned her head to avoid the arrow, and the arrow hit the shield behind her. The soldier holding the shield lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Yao Shu stood there in a cold sweat, but fortunately she had seen big scenes before and was not frightened to death.
Dai Honglun saw that Yao Shu looked unhappy and asked worriedly, "Is your Majesty okay?"
"fine."
Yao Shu shook her head, took a deep breath and continued to observe the situation.
Linghu Xunmeng frowned, not expecting Yao Shu to react so quickly. He had intended to use the arrow stained with giant cricket to poison Yao Shu to death.
Yao Shu shouted loudly: "One soldier is named Zaoshi, three soldiers are named Xianyuwei, five soldiers are named Liangshi, ten soldiers are named Yuanrongshi..."
The more Yao Shu spoke, the more violent the rain of arrows became, and several soldiers on the city wall had already been hit by arrows.
Linghu Xunmeng drew his bow again, this time not at Yao Shu, but at Wu Qingjiao.
"call out!"
Wu Qingjiao dodged nimbly and managed to avoid the rapidly approaching arrow.
Wu Qingjiao was shocked. If it hit a person, it would probably send him flying two meters away.
No wonder he was so famous. Wu Qingjiao felt disappointed. He was defeated by such a man after just a few moves in a one-on-one fight.
The sky gradually turned white, and after a while the soldiers became so exhausted that they had no strength to draw their bows.
Yao Shu pursed her lips, and finally reluctantly ordered: "Retreat."
Dai Honglun nodded and said, "Yes, everyone retreat!"
Linghu Xunmeng on the top breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the bow and arrow again to shoot at Yao Shu.
Yao Shu had predicted this in her mind, and drew her sword to block the arrow. With a clang, the arrow turned and shot into the ground.
Yao Shu's arms were numbed by the powerful force. She looked at Linghu Xunmeng expressionlessly, then turned around and sped away from the battlefield.
Back at the military camp, Yao Shu and a few others counted the number of people in the meeting tent.
A soldier reported: "Your Majesty, the casualties this time are 2031 and the number of injured is 7034."
Yao Shu sighed and said, "Register the names of the deceased and give each household a condolence payment. Try to use good medicine to treat the injured and don't neglect them."
"Yes."
Dai Honglun said: "Your Majesty, at least we are sending the corpses to their city, so it won't take long for them to get the plague."
Yao Shu nodded: "They attack every few days. There are rotting corpses spreading the plague. Even if they have supplies, they won't be able to hold out for long."
Wu Qingjiao asked: "Your Majesty, didn't we seize Suo Luangang's caravan? We still have plenty of food and fodder to support us when the time comes."
"Wait a minute, remember to check whether these food and grass are poisonous, so as not to let the sisters get poisoned."
Yao Shu suddenly thought of something and said to the soldier in charge of food and fodder.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "As you command."
Yao Shu nodded, and Dai Honglun said, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with that Suo Luangang?"
"It depends on the situation. If she still doesn't speak, I will meet her in person."
Yao Shu took the teacup, took a sip, and explained.
Liang Shunju said worriedly, "Your Majesty, what if they are just ordinary caravans? I am afraid that bad news will spread and it will be bad for you."
Yao Shu said calmly: "It's okay. If it's a misunderstanding, we can take her to Qi State to remove her merchant status and give her an official title and a higher rank."
