The King of Chu and his son took the lead, with countless chariots and light cavalry following closely, followed by tens of thousands of infantrymen, rushing to break into the formation from all directions. As soon as they entered the formation, the Zhou army's formation gate immediately closed, and the Chu people felt that there were figures and horse hooves from all directions, turning constantly, and they could not tell the direction at all.

Just as he was dizzy, countless tripping ropes were pulled up from the ground, whether it was the horses pulling chariots or the mounts of the cavalry, they all fell and fell. Before he could stand up, he was already pierced by a halberd. Although Xiong Qu had unparalleled archery skills, he had already entered the enemy's formation and could not shoot arrows. So he changed his iron spear of about a hundred pounds, and stabbed him when he saw someone, but no one could stop him.

The Marquis of Shen and Marquis of Sui intercepted Xiong Qu and fought, Ji Duoyou fought alone against Xiong Kang and Xiong Hong, and E Yufang fought with Chu Lingyin into a group. The two sides fought in the formation, and they met the opponents. They had no choice but to win or lose in more than fifty rounds, and they were able to kill.

Mr. Shen panted and said harshly: "Xiong Qu, I miss you and me the same land. If you are willing to surrender, your father and son will be protected from wealth!"

"Bah!" Xiong Qu spitted: "The man of Xiong's surname Mi can be killed and cannot be surrendered!"

Suihou was impatient: "Why are you polite to him? I will definitely take the lead on you today!"

On Tonglu Mountain, Ji Hu looked at the formation at the foot of the mountain, with dust flying, and countless people and horses shuttled back and forth without any flaws. He was very surprised: "Shaofu, what kind of formation are you setting? So powerful!"

Zhao Bohu smiled faintly: "This is called the 'Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation'. It is said that Huangdi used this formation when he fought against Chiyou. Eight formation gates were divided into eight formation gates, and the formation gates were changed according to the flag words, and the enemy could not find the direction and could not break through, so it was called this name."

"It's so awesome!" Ji Hu couldn't help but exclaim.

Ji Zheng, a veteran general who had just been transferred back to the supply line to guard the prince, also came to join in the fun: "Not to mention the prince, the old minister has been fighting for many years and has never seen such a formation. Prince Zhao is really worthy of being the number one wise man in Haojing!"

Xiong Qu in the formation had tried to break through many times, and he couldn't touch the formation gate every time, and he suddenly went crazy. He looked back at Tonglu Mountain, suddenly realized and slapped his forehead: "Oh! Why is it so stupid? The formation is moving, but the mountain is not!"

Xiong Qu roared: "Listen, soldiers, break through in the direction of Tonglu Mountain. Don't worry about the enemy's harassment, just rush in this direction!"

This method is really effective. The three kings and sons of Chu, with their close guards, rushed and sprinted towards Tonglu Mountain. In a short while, they broke through the two encirclements. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Duoyou shouted: "Get the trippy horses!"

Two teams of soldiers led a long iron chain and rushed towards Xiongqu and his son. The three of them rode together in a military cart. The head and horse that was pulling the cart was tripped, and the other three horses also fell to the ground. Xiong and his son fell to the ground, and finally stood up. But the situation was already very critical.

Just at this moment, a group of men in black broke into the west, wearing black hoods on their heads, only their eyes, nose and mouth were exposed. They each held a machete in their hands and had bows and arrows hanging on their waists. They broke into the formation and killed and slashed the Zhou soldiers. Their martial arts were obviously higher than ordinary soldiers, and they were all fearless of death. They rescued Xiong Qu and his son from the formation.

With these men in black broken, Xiong Qu and his son each robbed a horse, held the soldiers in one hand and shot arrows in the other, and finally came out of the battle. After running for a long time, they saw some remaining soldiers and more than a dozen men in black following.

Xiong Qu bowed to the leading man in black and bowed to him: "Thank you, hero, for helping you

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

kindness!"

The man in black took off his head cover and showed a dark but very young face. He hurriedly helped Xiong Qu up and thanked him: "I dare not take it, but I dare not take it! The villain has long heard that the King of Chu can shoot stones and mists the feathers. He is a rare warrior in the world, and he has the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers! I heard that you are in Tonglu Mountain, and you specially led your subordinates to come to see where you can serve. I didn't want to save the king. It's really God's will! There is no need to thank you."

Xiong Qu felt so well-behaved. He heard his implicit meaning and asked: "Will the hero follow the orphan and achieve a great achievement for men?"

"Rong Yi is waiting for the king's order for the rest of his life!" The man in black bowed his head and bowed.

"So your name is Rongyi! Let's follow me back to the camp first!"

"promise!"

Seeing that the King of Chu and his sons were getting on the horse one after another, another man in black came to Rong Yi's ear and asked softly: "Boss, we will really stay in Chu in the future. Will we not return to Qi?"

"Return to Qi?" Rong Yi snorted coldly: "Will you go and surrender to the lost prince? He is all under someone else's roof. What ability does he have to support me to take revenge? Good birds choose trees to live on, I understand that the power of Chu is unstoppable, and he regards the Zhou army as his mortal enemy. I will stay in Chu and never return to Qi again."

"But," the man was anxious: "Do our brothers still have a family in Qi State? What should we do if our parents, wife and children?"

Rong Yi patted his shoulder: "Why don't a real man have no wives? His parents are also taken care of by brothers, so why should we worry about it? When you achieve success in the future, you will return home in glory one by one, will you be glorious?"

After saying that, he ignored his subordinates' complaints. Rong Yi turned over and chased the King of Chu and his son.

The Battle of Tonglu Mountain lasted for several months, from late spring to early autumn, and finally ended with a great victory in the Zhou army. Although the Chu King Xiong Qu and his son escaped, Yin Mi Zhao died in the formation. On that day, Xiong Qu, who was shocked and suspicious, did not return to the camp again and again. He was afraid that the Zhou army had taken advantage of the emptiness of the camp, and was waiting for him with a hole. He dared to return to the camp until he found out the real news.

That night, the Chu army rose up and retreated to Danyang overnight. Later, I heard that Xiong Qu immediately looked back at Tonglu Mountain and swore: "My descendants of Xiong Qu, no matter how many generations, will definitely seize Tonglu Mountain. If they don't take this mountain, they will not be my descendants!"

When Zhao Bohu heard the reward, his brows frowned and could not relieve himself for a long time.

After the war, mountainous bodies and blood-soaked land were left at the foot of Tonglu Mountain. Zhao Bohu presided over the leadership of the battle and the captives of this battle were divided into the various vassal states. Of course, a part of them had to be left to Haojing to Xianjie for King Yi of Zhou. Most of the princes returned to their country to manage their own affairs, and only Shen Hou and E Yufang stayed to go with the king's army.

All this work is completed, and it is the end of August. The cold wind is blowing, and the copper grass flowers are beginning to bloom. The mountains are filled with small flowers, blue or purple, which is very dazzling. Tonglu Mountain is worthy of being the first copper mine in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Pieces of copper grass peanuts are on the hillside, and the purple petals are shaped like lavender. The breeze blows, the flower branches sway, and the air is filled with the strange smell of the fragrance of flowers and copper mines. This smell is intoxicating, and even bees are reluctant to fly from the flowers.

How can such a beautiful scenery not attract tourists who are lingering? After all, Ji Hu is a child. He has been in a heavy mood for war these days. When he comes out to play, he is bound to have fun. He jumps around the hillside, picks flowers, and catches bees, and is busy all the time.

Zhao Bohu is like

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

An old hen who protects her chicks followed behind her, keeping instructing her: "Prince, be careful! Be too close to the cliff! Be careful to be stung by bees!"

Ji Duoyou, who was beside him, was happy: "Look at you like this, mother-in-law and mother! She looks like a woman! Could it be that the marriage is approaching and I am thinking about my new wife!"

"Go to yours!" Zhao Bohu punched him on the back to show revenge.

Ji Duoyou pretended to be grinning and shouted at Ji Hu: "Your Highness, your cousin-in-law beat me, don't you care?"

Ji Hu was happy: "Brother Duoyou, do you know why my uncle was the first to leave Tonglu Mountain?"

Zhao Bohu blushed, Ji Duoyou asked knowingly: "Yes! Why?"

"He rushed back to China to pick up my cousin, and then went to Shinguo to meet us, so he could go back to Haojing to get married with the young master!"

"Oh-so that's it!" Ji Duoyou joked: "No wonder he protects the prince so much. It turns out that he is about to become his cousin's husband!"

"Okay!" Zhao Bohu didn't want to get involved in such a boring topic anymore. Suddenly, Ji Hu was standing among the copper grass flowers, carefully putting the picked petals into a bag. He asked loudly: "Prince, what are you picking these flowers?"

"Of course I'm going to Shenguo immediately, a gift for the future princess?" Ji Duoyou interrupted.

"Brother Duoyou was joking," Ji Hu said seriously: "My mother was born in Jianghan. I think she should have seen a lot of copper grass flowers since she was a child. Since I came here, I wanted to pick some dried flowers and take them back to relieve her homesickness."

"The prince is indeed pure filial!" Ji Duoyou no longer teased. He squatted down and looked at the purple flowers carefully. Suddenly, "Huh" said: "These flowers are very special in shape, like the brush we use to brush horses!"

If you look closely, isn't it? Although each copper grass flower has only one, the upper half is divided into many stems, and there are many purple flowers on each stem. This flower is very unique. It has leaves on one side and flowers on the other side. The petals are surrounded by a rectangle. Not to mention, it is really like a ponytail brush, but it is much smaller.

Ji Duoyou also picked a handful and put it in his sleeve. Seeing Zhao Bohu staring at him, he smiled mockly: "Although my mother is not from Jianghan, she likes flowers and plants in the north, there are few such strange flowers in the north. I will pick some and give her some some to enjoy."

"You can offer flowers to your mother if you want to raise your son but your parents are not here. But my mother has been dead for more than two years, and my father doesn't know if he has recovered from his illness." Zhao Bohu sighed. After half a year of leaving home, a deep homesickness suddenly appeared in his heart, which was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

When they were tired of playing, the group of three sat on the ground under an old tree. Looking at the sea of ​​blue and purple flowers all over the mountains and listening to the sound of mining in the valley, the three of them were speechless for a moment, and a feeling of sorrow arose in their hearts for no reason.

Seeing Zhao Bohu's eyebrows gathered up again, Ji Duoyou asked curiously: "This battle is a great victory, and the King of Chu and his son fled in a panic. Why is Zimu depressed?"

"Although this battle is won, the Chu tribulations are difficult to eradicate. The Jiang and Han countries have their own thoughts. When Xiong Qu's vitality recovers and makes a comeback in the future, what should we do if we do it?"
