imprisoned(1/3)
Youyu was a serious Zhou native. Due to the civil strife in Jin and the constant wars between Quwo and Yicheng, many people were displaced, and Youyu was among these people.
Youyu fled from the Jin State and did not immediately come to the territory of the Rong people. He first came inward to the Zheng State in the south of the Jin State.
At that time, Yu Yu was still very young, just a boy. Because You Yu was as talented as anyone in martial arts and wanted to achieve great things, he wanted to join Ji Zhong, the powerful minister of the Zheng State at that time.
Ji Zhong was born as a minor official and was a feudal official on the frontier. Therefore, Ji Zhong never followed any particular pattern in selecting talents. Ji Zhong promoted many talents from humble backgrounds to the court of Zheng.
You must know that the feudal factions of the Qing clan and the public clan factions in the State of Zheng were very fierce at that time. As a Qing official, you have to look at your family background. If you are from a lowly background, you will not be able to join the imperial court. But this is not the case here in Ji Zhong. Ji Zhong is very difficult to do so for his own reasons.
Paying attention to promoting talents from poor backgrounds, Yu Yu felt that as long as he could meet Ji Zhong and rely on his talents, he could flourish and become a pillar of talent.
However...
Yu Yu did come to Zheng State, but he did not see Ji Zhong, because there were too many people who wanted to squeeze into the court through Ji Zhong, and there was no shortage of Yu Yu at all, even though Yu Yu was talented and martial arts.
Outstanding, but without seeing Ji Zhong, everything is in vain.
Youyu became one of the many guests who wanted to meet him and stayed in the guesthouse of Ji Zhong's family. It was not easy to ask to meet Ji Zhong. After all, Ji Zhong was busy with official duties, so many of his customers began to bribe the stewards or servants of Ji Zhong's family.
, I want to seek an audience with Ji Zhong through various opportunities.
At that time, Youyu had no money and was penniless. He was a poor boy and did not have the financial resources to bribe the servants of Ji Zhong's family.
At that time, the "original owner Qi Lu" heard about the opportunity to make a fortune, so he took advantage of the fact that he was a small fire-burning official in Ji Zhong's family, and deceived many guests into paying "tribute" to him. However, after the "tribute", the news would disappear.
No reply at all.
The guests paid tribute one after another, but You Yu did not pay tribute. Therefore, the "original owner Qi Lu" held a grudge and found an opportunity to punish You Yu. He relied on his work in the kitchen and used some rotten food and swill.
Replaced Yu Yu's food.
Qi Lu had never thought that he and You Yu would have such an affair. It was a big feud. No wonder You Yu said it would be unforgettable.
And it was far more than that, there was something even more hateful. At that time, Yu Yu couldn't bear the humiliation, so he confronted the "original owner Qi Lu", and the "original owner Qi Lu" called some cooks and falsely accused You Yu of being a thief with unclean hands and feet.
Stealing things while staying at Ji Zhong Guest House.
Ji Zhong's family chief knew about this matter, and Yu Yu could not explain it alone. However, the "original owner Qi Lu" had many cooks around him to testify for him. The final result can be imagined, and Yu Yu was kicked out of Ji Zhong.
Because of stealing the family's finances, he was given a big label and became a thief that everyone wanted to beat.
How could you survive in Old Zheng City after offending Ji Zhong? Not to mention Old Zheng City, even the State of Zheng couldn’t survive. Yu Yilian was forced to leave the State of Zheng, and the small countries around Zheng State heard that
You Yu's hands and feet were not clean, so he dared to steal the property of Ji Zhong's family, and he did not dare to take You Yu in, for fear of revenge from Ji Zhong's family.
Youyu couldn't survive in Zheng State or the surrounding areas. He had no choice but to enter the realm of the Rong people...
Qi Lu's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard this, and he thought to himself, this is embarrassing. I wanted to win over him, but in the end I offended him. This is not an old relationship, it is clearly an old enmity!
No wonder You Yu always looked cruel when looking at Qi Lu. You Yu said gloomily: "Qi Taifu is now the Emperor's Tutor, and noble people tend to forget things, so how can they remember You Yu? It's just... Yu Que remembers Taifu Qi every day and dares not forget him even for a day."
Qi Lu: "..."
Youyu and Qi Lu talked about old times, and without any nonsense, they waved their hands and said, "Inspect the goods!"
Qi Lu said: "The grain, grass and money are all here. Qi Lu wants to see the daughter of Qi State and the special envoy of Qi State."
Yu Yu said calmly: "The daughter of the state of Qi and the special envoy are not here. After the goods are inspected, Master Qi can go and meet me in person."
Ji Ya frowned and said, "How come you don't keep your word? We brought food, grass and money, but you didn't bring the prisoners!"
Yu Yu raised his hand with great disdain, and with a sound of "wow!", the soldiers and horses behind him immediately dispersed, picked up their weapons on guard, and tightened the encirclement.
Yu Yu said: "Do you have a choice?"
Qi Lu signaled Sacrificial Tooth to be quiet and calm. When I saw that Qi Lu was interested, he said, "Check the food, grass and money."
The soldiers behind him immediately responded, came to the carriage to check, opened the curtain, and took out the boxes from inside. "Bang bang!" One box after another was smashed to the ground. The boxes were very heavy and full of grain, grass and property. currency.
When the soldiers saw it, they immediately cheered: "It's really food!"
"General, it's food!"
"So many coins!"
Qi Lu said: "You can check them one by one. The carriages behind are also very full."
Yu Yu looked at the grain, grass and money, randomly checked a few boxes, and then asked the soldiers to reload the cart and said, "That's it, take the people away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound, which seemed to be the sound of horse hooves and footsteps, and people quickly gathered around him. Yu Yu immediately became alert and said: "Is there an ambush?!"
The next moment, many soldiers and horses in the same Shanrong uniforms rushed out from all around and quickly surrounded them in the center. Yu Ding took a quick look and saw that they were "our own people", but when Yu Ding saw "our own people", his expression changed. Not very pretty.
The refugees also said before that there are many horse thieves in this mountain range. Although these horse thieves all belong to the same Shanrong country, they are still distinguished. Yu Yu only led a small team, and there were other small teams, all stationed on the mountain range. .
The Shanrong people value force and the weak eat the strong, so the competition between the various teams is very fierce, and they are all rivals.
A few days ago, Qi Lu asked Fan Guo to release the news. The emperor wanted to exchange hostages with Yu Yu and exchange a large amount of grain, grass and money. When the news was released, Qi Lu didn't believe that other Shanrong people were not jealous. With so much grain, grass and money, How long did it take for them to intercept the house and rob it?
Fanguo is not rich to begin with, and the people are being robbed every day, and their food has long been taken out, let alone the money. The people don't call things like money, so these food, grass and money are very important to the Shanrong people. The attraction is huge enough for them to fight among themselves.
The Shanrong troops surrounded them from all directions, holding several large flags. Each of the big flags was a different color, and it seemed that there were at least three different teams.
One of the leaders on horseback said: "Youyu, you are so unkind. You killed such a fat sheep and didn't call your brothers?"
"Yes, you Zhou people are so cunning that you actually came up with the idea of plundering Qi's wedding party."
You Yu squinted his eyes, looked at the Shan Rong troops surrounding him, and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you want to do, just tell me."
One of the leaders smiled and said: "What do you want to do? What else can we want to do? It doesn't matter. We are all brothers. With so much food, grass and money, let's just share it one share? Right?"
"Yes, one point!"
"Share it equally! Share the food, grass and money equally!"
Qi Lu and Ji Ya looked at each other, and sure enough, the mountain soldiers and horse thieves started fighting on their own, and they might show off soon. All they need to do now is just wait and see what happens.
Yu Yu said coldly: "We agreed before that we would not interfere with each other. Now why should we share the money and food we receive with you equally?"
"Why?" The leader laughed loudly and said, "There are so many reasons. If you give it to us, just give it to us. If you don't give it to us today, that's fine. You still have two choices. One It was we who reported you to the king, saying that you collaborated with the Zhou people and betrayed the country. You are all Zhou people, and a dog cannot eat shit! Secondly, don’t blame us for being tough! You have to think about it, there are many people here. , you just led a team, let alone an equal share, you won’t even be able to get a grain of rice!”
"Hahaha! Zhou people, dogs can't change their ways of eating shit!"
"Hand over the food, grass and money!"
The horse thieves beside him were shouting, but Yu Yu's expression was very calm and he said, "Really? It's very convenient for me to choose the second way. If you dare to rob it, then just rob it."
The leaders of the horse thieves looked at each other. There were so many of them, and all of a sudden they lost their arrogance. It seemed that they were all pretending, not real.
Qi Lu could tell at a glance that these Shanrong leaders were probably very wary of You Yu. Otherwise, there were so many of them, and You Yu's men and horses could only be one-third at most, but they would not dare to take action.
Several leaders looked ugly and looked at each other. One of them said angrily: "Damn it! What are you doing standing there in a daze? Are you afraid of him? Let's show this mediocre Zhou people some color today!"
"Yes, give them color!"
"kill!!"
Several horse thief leaders suddenly pulled out the blade, waved and roared, rushed to Yu Yu, Yu also pulled out the blade, narrowed his eyes, and the sound of "Ding Ding Dang" sounded around for a while, which was the Blade. The sound of answering.
Ji Ya quickly grabbed Qi Lu, protected him behind him, and ran towards the corner to avoid being accidentally injured by the horse thieves who were fighting among themselves.
Youyu's soldiers and horses were only one-third in number, but they did not panic at all when encountering such a scene. The team was well-organized and well-trained. Most of the areas where the Shanrong people moved were mountainous, so they fought against the Zhou people. It was different. Most of the wars in this era were fought with the help of chariots. The chariots were made of bronze, were extremely heavy, and had a very strong impact. There would be a slave rider on the chariot, and there would be a soldier and an archer standing on the chariot. Although chariots have great impact, they are not flexible. However, Shanrong warriors do not use chariots. Instead, they mostly use infantry. They have little impact but are very flexible and suitable for mountainous terrain.
Yu Yu had many such infantrymen with him, all of them were brave and flexible, and quickly joined forces with the other groups of horse thieves, without any confusion and without being at a disadvantage.
Just when these horse thieves were fighting among themselves, they suddenly heard the voice of "Kill——!!" rising from the sky. At first, the horse thieves thought it was one of their own people shouting, but they soon realized that something was wrong, because the sound came from far away. There was a tremor, accompanied by "rumbling--", and it kept approaching them.
Looking from a distance, it turned out to be the banner of the Zhou people, and the sun and moon banner of the emperor. A flood of tiger troops poured down from the mountains and rushed towards them quickly.
The mountain warrior horse thief was startled and said, "What's going on?!"
"People from Zhou! It's people from Zhou!"
"Don't be afraid, they must be the army of Mortal Kingdom! Those little minions are not worth mentioning, just fight them back!"
"General, that's not called Jiaolong Banner from a mortal country!"
"If it's not a mortal's dragon flag, what kind of flag is it?"
Yu Yu saw the big flag rushing into the valley from a distance, and his heart thumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh no, it's the sun and moon flag of King Zhou."
As he spoke, his face was very solemn, his mind was spinning rapidly, his eyes narrowed, he had woken up, and fearing that he had fallen into a trap, he immediately ordered: "Withdraw troops, retreat immediately, don't be reluctant to fight!"
"Yes, General!"
Several other groups of horse thieves thought they were the army of Fan Kingdom. Fan Kingdom was weak and their army was not worth mentioning. They didn't care at all at first. Only Yu Yu's team retreated immediately. Others wanted to laugh at Yu Yu for being a coward. Who knew? When he took a closer look, he saw the emperor's tiger troops!
The Huben army was much more elite than the troops of Mortal Kingdoms, and their numbers were huge. The mountain soldiers and horse thieves were not prepared at all. When they saw the Huben army, they were so frightened that they immediately became confused.
"General, what should we do?!"
"Hurry... retreat quickly!"
For a moment, the valley was in chaos. A large number of tiger soldiers poured into the valley. The mountain soldiers and horse thieves turned around and ran away. Qi Lu and Ji Ya were hiding nearby. At this moment, Yu Yu seemed to have discovered them. He narrowed his eyes and immediately took action. The horse comes up.
When Ji Ya saw him rushing up on his horse, he immediately said: "Brother, run quickly, the leader of the horse thieves is here!"
Before Ji Ya could finish speaking, Yu Yu had already galloped over on horseback, heading towards Qi Lu. Ji Ya stood in front of Qi Lu, but Yu Yu moved very quickly. He turned his weapon and heard a "bang!" Knocked on the back of Ji Ya's head.
Although Ji Ya also had martial arts skills, he felt that he was unable to catch Yu Yu's move. He let out a soft cry of "Hoo..." and fell to the ground instantly, losing consciousness.
Qi Lu was startled, and the next moment his arm was grabbed by Yu Yu. Qi Lu wanted to resist, but Yu Yu was so strong that he forcefully pulled Qi Lu onto the horse's back.
"Boom, boom -" The Tiger Army rushed forward. Ji Lin actually rode his horse in the crowd of Tiger Army. He saw Qi Lu at a glance, narrowed his eyes and turned pale. He chased after him and quickly approached You Yu.
