[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 205 Your Majesty, the Princess Beats the Prince Consort to Death

Suritu was the youngest son of Tubu, the former leader of the Tiefang tribe, and his mother was Tubu's third wife.

After Tubu's death, Su Ritu kept the news secret. He united the forces of his mother's clan and his wife's clan to directly control the Tiefang royal court, and killed or imprisoned his brothers and sisters who did not obey him.

In order to appease various forces and clansmen, the young and energetic Su Ritu decided to declare war on the Xia Kingdom, seizing wealth while establishing his own prestige.

"Chief, we will reach the Sifang City of Xia Kingdom in one more day." Su Ritu's confidant Wu Sironggui came riding over to report.

Su Ritu nodded and announced that they would rest on the spot.

This time, he brought 70% of the strong laborers of Tiefang, determined to bite off a piece of meat from the Xia Kingdom.

Ten years ago, the war between Xia and Tiefang ended in a draw, with both sides suffering heavy losses and almost all their young and strong men were crippled.

After ten years of recuperation, a new batch of soldiers grew up.

And war is coming again.

Su Ritu was born with supernatural powers and was extremely brave. He was the best warrior of the Tiefang tribe and was deeply loved by his father Tubu.

He once proudly said to his mother: "I, Su Ritu, was born extraordinary and was destined to achieve great things!"

And so far, he has indeed demonstrated extraordinary leadership and ruthless and sophisticated political tactics.

In just two years after taking office, Su Ritu suppressed the resentment among the Tiefang royal family, killed many Tiefang nobles, and distributed their property to ordinary people, winning the support of the grassroots people.

Now, all he lacks is military achievements.

A man who could silence the questioning voices of the generals in the Iron Square Army, with great military achievements!

"Wusi Ronggui," Su Ritu ordered, "Send scouts to the front to investigate the situation. If everything is normal, we will speed up and catch the Xia Kingdom off guard!"

Wu Sironggui responded loudly: "Yes!"

"Laifu, start the map scan."

"Yes, Master!"

A few seconds later, a three-dimensional map of the area within a radius of 100 miles appeared in front of Zhao Erya.

Looking at the dense red dots representing the enemy in the northwest corner of the map, Zhao Erya narrowed his eyes and said to his deputy general Gong Huachi, "Tell Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to ride back to the Prime Minister as fast as they can. Tell him that the enemy has been spotted near Xingkui Mountain and is expected to reach Sifang City by noon tomorrow. Tell him to proceed according to the original plan."

Upon hearing this, Gong Huachi did not question Zhao Erya's decision and quickly went over to convey the instructions.

Zhao Erya checked the several mines he brought with him again and sighed in his heart.

The technology of the Xia Dynasty was relatively backward, and many things had not yet appeared, even fireworks, and the craftsmen's craftsmanship was not up to par.

Zhao Erya spent a lot of effort just to make these landmines, and she made them all by herself.

When the time comes, we will still have to fight with cold weapons.

Tie Fang naturally did not have only one large army. Su Ritu divided it into three teams, and he personally led the central army, heading straight for Sifang City.

The left army was led by the Tiefang general Temuqile and attacked Wanhe City west of Bozhou.

The right army was led by Su Ritu's half-brother Aodutai, who took a detour from the east side of Xingkui Mountain and then joined forces with Su Ritu to besiege Sifang City.

Zhao Erya, who had known about Su Ritu's plan for a long time, had persuaded Xiang Ziming to send troops to garrison Wanhe City.

Now, like Sifang City, there are no traces of Xia people outside Wanhe City.

In the original plot, the Tiefang tribe's attack came suddenly, catching the Xia Kingdom off guard.

In order to attack the city, Tie Fang captured many civilians outside the Xia city as human shields, cut off their heads, and piled them up outside the city, intending to defeat the soldiers defending Sifang City. He was simply cruel and inhumane.

Therefore, the first thing Zhao Erya did when he arrived at the border town was to ask Xiang Ziming to send someone to urgently recall the people outside the city.

This time, if she allows Su Ritu to massacre the people of Xia State again, she, Zhao Erya, will commit suicide to apologize!

After Xiang Ziming received the news, he did not hesitate and immediately began to make arrangements according to the plan they had previously agreed upon.

Xiong Junzhe was also present at the time and had also heard the intelligence Zhao Erya had sent back. He hesitated and asked Xiang Ziming, "General Xiang, the princess has never been on the battlefield. Can her judgment be trusted?"

Xiang Ziming patted Xiong Junzhe on the shoulder and said, "It's better to believe it than not. War is no joke, and I believe the princess is not someone who speaks without thinking. Go down and make the arrangements!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Junzhe said no more and bowed before leaving.

…………

Su Ritu looked at the mountain ahead and said to Wu Sironggui, "Take your men and go ahead to see if there are any Xia people. If there are, capture them all!"

Wu Sironggui agreed and led his men forward.

After a while, they came back with only one person tied up behind their horses.

"Chief, something is wrong. We may have been discovered!" Wu Sironggui's face was serious.

Su Ritu frowned when he heard this: "How is that possible?"

In order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, they traveled in a low-key manner throughout the journey. Not only did they wrap the horses' hooves, they also cleaned up the traces of the march in time. They were really cautious and careful.

Wu Sironggui said: "When my subordinates went there, the village was empty. According to my subordinates' judgment, these villagers left not long ago. On the way back, we saw this person." After saying that, he threw the captured person to the ground.

This was a man with a sallow face, extremely thin, and looking severely malnourished.

Faced with the ferocious Iron Square people, the man trembled with fear.

Wu Sironggui whipped him and the man screamed.

"Have mercy! Have mercy!" The man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Su Ritu asked him, "Where have all your people gone?"

The man cried and said, "My king, please spare my life. A few days ago, a group of soldiers came and said that there would be a war and asked us to move to the city quickly... I don't know anything!"

Su Ritu asked, "Have all the people in the village moved away?"

The man nodded: "Yes... yes..."

Su Ritu looked solemn when he heard this.

At this time, the scout he sent out came back and brought bad news.

"Chief, the Xia army is stationed sixty miles from here." The scout reported.

Su Ritu was furious and swung the stone beside him hard.

Suddenly, he saw the man kneeling on the ground and thought of something: "Where did you come from?"

The man answered honestly, "I... I just came back from the ridge behind the mountain. The soldiers blocked the main road and wouldn't let us pass..."

"Where is Lingzi?" Su Ritu asked hurriedly.

The man seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Su Ritu, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Su Ritu smiled and helped him up, brushed off the dust on his body, and said, "Hahaha, don't be afraid. As long as you help us lead the way, I won't treat you unfairly!"

Wu Sironggui received Su Ritu's gaze, tore off a small gold cake used as decoration from his belt, and stuffed it into the man's hand.

Seeing that the man was still hesitating, Wu Sironggui tore off three more pieces and stuffed them into his hands.

The man looked at the gold in his heavy hand, then looked at Su Ritu who was smiling, and gritted his teeth: "I will lead you!"
