Chapter 138 Sleeping at the door
The northern border troops of Chu State were less than 500,000. This was a huge army, and it was enough to establish a national regime.
Chu Huamei actually said that she was in control of such an army, and that all the generals in the northern border of Chu followed his command and dispatch. Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?
"Tomorrow I will let Chu Yiguan take you to the northern border, and you can walk out through the border gate openly." Chu Huamei said.
"I hope the words of the eldest princess are true." Liu Chu took a deep breath. Now that his life is in Chu Huamei's hands, he can only let Chu Huamei mercy, and it was Chu Yiguan who escorted them to the northern border of Chu. Facing Chu Yiguan, Liu Chu and Shiyue had no possibility of escaping.
"I don't need to fool a prisoner." Chu Huamei said lightly.
Liu Chu rolled his eyes helplessly, suddenly thought of something, looked at Chu Huamei and asked, "Your Highness, do you know who sent the killer that big monkey?"
"That monkey-playing person? That should be the prince of your Wei State and Chen Fengyu." Chu Huamei said.
"What? He is the killer sent by the Jade King?" Liu Chu was shocked. He did not expect that even the royal family of Wei State wanted to kill him.
"It should be true. This man nicknamed Dahou. He was originally a gangster from Yan State. He offended the powerful and nobles of Yan State and fled to Wei State. He was taken over by Chen Fengyu." Chu Huamei added.
Liu Chugao glanced at Chu Huamei, "It seems that the intelligence network of His Highness the eldest princess is not weak."
"A lonely and weak woman always has some self-defense measures and has no choice but to do it." Chu Huamei explained.
Liu Chu spat in his heart, "Is this weak woman?" She is clearly the tigress who chooses people and eats them!"
Liu Chu sighed a little, and the King of Chu underestimated a woman's revenge and ability.
Thinking of this, Liu Chu looked at October again. For her sister Shixia, he made a big fuss in the "Hope Seed" selection competition. Isn't it also a kind of revenge for her? She wants to win a good reputation for her dead sister.
The next day, Chu Yiguan took Liu Chu and October to set off, and his destination was the northern border of Chu. If they really follow what Chu Huamei said, then they can successfully use the fortress outside the northern border of Chu and return directly to the territory of Wei.
In fact, Liu Chu and Shiyue had already gone around a big circle. If they cut from the border of Shu into Wei, they would have returned to Wei long ago. However, Liu Chu was so stupid that he didn't recognize the road and took a lot of detours in vain.
Liu Chu and October were sitting in an ordinary carriage, and Chu Yiguan drove the road as a coachman. This treatment was really not a prisoner, and Chu Huamei gave them enough decentness.
The main reason is that Chu Yi is there, Chu Huamei is not worried. Liu Chu and the others can't escape even if they want to run away, so there is no need to use chain prison carts and other restraint methods.
The carriage took two days to reach the northern border of Chu. They arrived at the third border of Chu, the Iron Horse City. The people in the city were less than 100,000, but the area within the city reached 200 square kilometers.
There are 200,000 troops in Tiema City. The garrison general Tie Jindan is a third-rank general of Chu State, equivalent to the rank of the general of Jiuzhou State of Wei State.
After Liu Chu and the others got out of the car, a team of soldiers wearing cold iron armor came over. Chu Yiguan took out a token expressionlessly, took the token for the head lieutenant, and then handed it back respectfully.
Seeing this, Liu Chu believed it a little.
"Where is the Tie Jindan?" Chu Yiguan asked directly.
"The general is training troops." The captain replied respectfully.
"Take me to find him." Chu Yiguan waved.
The captain and the soldiers behind him explained a few words, and then took Chu Yiguan and the other two to the school grounds. Before he could reach the school grounds, he could hear neat roars.
In the school ground, a middle-aged man stared at the rows of soldiers in front of him with bare shirtless eyes. There were still a few people squatting beside him, and I don’t know what he was doing.
"If you fail the training, you can only be soldiers and never become war soldiers! Don't think that joining the army is war soldiers. After passing the test of the test stone, you can be considered soldiers at most, and soldiers are not qualified to go to the battlefield."
The man's cold voice spread throughout the audience, and many people gritted their teeth and silently endured high-intensity training.
"Get back and discover the lazy behavior again. The military cannon is 100 stole and expelled from the barracks. The descendants of the three generations will not be allowed to join the army!"
The cold and barefoot man kicked the squatting soldiers one by one. After they were kicked to the ground, they rolled and crawled and returned to the team.
"General, the princess's men are here." The captain ran to the shirtless man and said.
The naked Tie Jindan immediately cast a look at him. He knew Chu Yiguan, but Liu Chu and Shiyue didn't know each other. The eyes that looked at the two were like cheetahs scrutinizing their prey through the sparse grass.
"Mr. Chu." Tie Jin walked over boldly and called out Mr. Chu, saying that he had seen the ceremony.
"They are the new friends of His Highness the Princess. You can send them out of the Golden Armor City." Chu Yiguan nodded slightly. The two of them have little difference in identities, so there is no need to give a big gift. The nodding gift is enough.
The three border cities in the northern border of Chu State are Jinjia City, Glacier City, Tiema City, and Tiema City. Tiema City has garrisons of 200,000. Glacier City has no garrisons, and Jinjia City has garrisons of 300,000.
Glacier City has only one city block. It is better to say it is a line of defense than a city. It does not live in it, but it only serves as a buffer. If Jinjia City is lost, you can retreat to Glacier City and continue to defend it. The 200,000 troops of Iron Horse City can also arrive at Glacier City in time to rescue.
"Liu Chu, right? I've seen your portrait. All the generals and civil officials above the fifth rank of Chu State know you. You have been given the order of our King of Chu to kill." Tie Jindan said with a smile.
"That's a great honor. If one day I can reach the state where no one in the world knows you, I will be satisfied."
Liu Chu is now convinced that the northern border of Chu State was under the control of Chu Huamei, so he became bolder in his speech and also listed Chu Huamei as an extremely dangerous figure. Such a woman would really destroy Chu State.
However, Liu Chu was a stubborn person and would do what he promised others, and he would lead his troops to attack the capital of Chu.
"I have some courage, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Tie Jindan stared at Liu Chu.
"Can you kill?" Liu Chu shrugged.
"No." Tie Jindan also spread his hands, which surprised Liu Chu a little. According to the general situation, Tie Jindan would be furious, and then yelled to kill Liu Chu. Finally, Chu Yiguan came out to be a peacemaker, but he didn't.
"Boy, I don't know what Your Highness, the eldest princess told you, but I will only give you three years. Three years. If you can't attack the capital of the Chu King, I will lead troops to Chang'an to kill you!" The murderous aura in Tie Jindan's eyes was as real as the essence, and a gust of autumn wind blew next to him, which made Liu Chu shudder.
Why did Liu Chu feel that this Tie Jindan also had a deep hatred with the King of Chu?
Next, Tie Jindan personally took Liu Chu and October through the Glacier City and sent them out of Jinjia City.
In Jinjia City, Liu Chu saw the 300,000 Golden Armor Army, which was dazzling in the sun like pieces of gold.
The combat effectiveness of the Golden Armor Army can rank among the top three in the entire Chu State, and among all the armies among the nine countries, it can rank among the top ten.
Liu Chu really couldn't imagine that such a strong army would obey Chu Huamei's orders and even be willing to treason. Liu Chu didn't know what Chu Huamei used in the meantime.
After leaving Jinjia City, Tie Jindan prepared a fast horse for Liu Chu and Shiyue. Yes, there was only one, because the border army's war horses were very precious and were of no exchange for no money. Tie Jindan was reluctant to take out two.
So, the two of them could only sit on the horse's back and forth, riding the same horse...
"Can you take your hand away from the saddle?" Yin Yue frowned, and Liu Chu grabbed her hand on the saddle. She rubbed her butt several times because of the bumps, which made her very upset, thinking that Liu Chu had her tofu.
"Sister, there is only one saddle. I gave it to you. I just sat on the horse's back. Do you know how uncomfortable it is? And if I don't grab it on the saddle, I'll fall down! Could it be that I hugged you?"
Liu Chu looked at the October sitting in front of him and said angrily, saying that the two of them would take turns to sit on the saddle, but in the end, he didn't give in once. He was a little afraid that he would hurt his thing and would not be able to give birth to a new life in the future.
Liu Chu scratched the inner side of his thigh, which was a little itchy, and the inner side of his thigh was almost bald.
After riding for two days, they finally entered the boundary of Wei. In another half a day, they entered a border city on the Jiangzhou line in the western border of Wei, which was also very close to the northern border of Wei.
In fact, the northern border of Chu is located at the junction of the western border of Wei and the northern border, and closer to the northern border of Wei.
Therefore, once the opening of the northern border of Chu is really opened, the Bingzhou line in the western border of Wei, the Jizhou line in the two lines, plus the northern border, a total of one million warriors on the three lines can drive straight into the territory of Wei.
The border town on the Bingzhou line in the Western Xinjiang is very small, with a permanent population of only about 30,000, but the migrant population reaches millions every year. Because many merchants leave the border to do business in Chu, where there are interests, people can temporarily give up hostile relations. Although the nine countries are hostile, they have always communicated with trade.
Therefore, this border city is called Fujia City, taken from Fujia World, and is also a blind superstition of merchants.
In fact, the names of many towns are not named directly by the imperial court, but are based on local characteristics and the statements of local people.
Because there are many merchants coming and going to take a break every day in Fujia City, they all have to rest here, so Fujia City's service industry is extremely developed. In a small city, there are an amazing number of inns, with no less than 300. But even with so many inns, it is still not enough to live in. In Fujia City, you can see people working on the floor on the street at any time.
But don't underestimate these people who work on floors. You may just pick out one of them, the richest man in the local area with a wealthy family, but they just have no place to rest.
So, you see, half of the things in the hands of those people on the street are goods, and half are a quilt.
"Woman, two rooms." October took Liu Chu into a pretty good inn. This was the fiftieth inn they had found. All the forty-nine houses in front were full of customers without rooms.
"It's just one room." The waiter said lightly.
"Don't have two rooms?" October asked unwillingly.
The waiter glanced at the two of them, then lowered his head to clean up the table, as if you like it or not. Anyway, in this Fujia City, there is no need to worry that no one will come to stay in a hotel.
"You..." October was about to have an attack, but was stopped by Liu Chu. Finally, I finally found a place to live, just one room at a time, and I can make do with it.
"Woman, I want this room, let's live together." Liu Chu said with a smile.
"Bah!" Yin Yue glanced at the waiter, but spat at Liu Chu, so, who did she spit?
The waiter led the two of them upstairs, opened the door and looked at the room. It was not bad, it was neat and had no odor. One hundred copper coins per night, it was worth it. The room rate in Fujia City is very expensive, one hundred copper coins, and you can stay in other places for three nights.
"I'll hit the floor." After entering the door, Liu Chu showed his white teeth at the eyes of October.
"Is there your floor in the house? Sleep at the door!" October Yi pointed at the door.
