General Qin

Chapter 417 Assassination of Zhao Tuo

The commander of the Qin army has a big tent.

Zhao said that being stared at by the Qin generals in the tent with either sharp or serious eyes, he suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and the young man's blood cooled down halfway.

At this time, a gentle voice asked.

Zhao said that he looked up and saw a mighty young general sitting at the head of the tent.

His armor is luxurious, with a tall crown on his head, and his young face is resolute and majestic, which is not quite the same as the clan brother he remembered when he was young.

But there is no doubt that this person is Qin General Zhao Tuo.

He was also the son of Zuo Siguo of Zhao State in the past, and his clan brother of Zhao Shuo.

"Brother...Brother, these Qin generals are majestic and mighty. After all, my brother is from Zhao, so I feel a little panicked."

Zhao said that he used elegant language when asking for an interview before, so that those Qin soldiers could understand.

Now in this tent, they speak Zhao dialect with a strong accent.

This is because he doesn't want those Qin generals to understand what he means, and at the same time, he hopes that this local accent can arouse Zhao Tuo's love for his family brothers, and let these Qin people leave, so that he can make a move.

"Hey, what is this kid talking about?"

Hei Hiu cried out, and everyone in the tent frowned.

Zhao Tuo lowered his head. In addition to Meng Tian, ​​a middle-aged Confucian scholar was also seated.

He took a look at Zhao Shuo's pale complexion, and said with a smile, "This little gentleman must have been frightened by your appearance, hey, you black buttocked military officer, don't stare at him like that, or else the little gentleman will I thought your black butt was going to chop off people's heads."

Heizhi muttered: "Naigong has reached this title, even if he beheads, he can't be promoted."

After the two talked and answered, all the generals in the tent laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed.

Guanzhong dialect is similar to Yayan, and Zhao said he could understand it. Thinking that he had heard Qin Jun's favorite words about cutting off people's heads, he realized that the people in front of him were all tiger and wolf Qin generals who killed without batting an eyelid, and his face turned even paler. I can't move my feet at all.

Zhao Tuo saw it clearly, and frowned slightly.

This Zhao said that at the critical moment of the Qin Dynasty's war, it should be a courageous person to abandon the generation and agree with each other. Such a timid person would not even dare to approach the Qin army camp.

How can you be afraid and dare not move forward because of the Qin general sitting in the tent?

He comforted and said: "My brother, don't be afraid. You are my brother of Zhao Tuo. This time, you came here with Daicheng to tell you the truth. You are also a friend of Qin. In this account, no one can do anything to you. Li Shang, ask my brother to enter the account, and let someone serve wine."

Hearing Zhao Tuo's warm words of comfort, Zhao said that he also calmed down at this time. He waved his hand and rejected Li Shang's support, walked into the tent, and sat down behind the table that Li Shiqi offered to let out.

At this time, a short soldier was ordered to bring wine into the account. Zhao said that after drinking a cup, he felt a little calm.

Alcohol makes people courageous, and he feels the courage he had in Daijo has returned.

I'm going to do something big!

Just like what the elder and Chen Jun said, the survival of the country is in my hands!

Zhao Shuo secretly cheered himself up in his heart, recalling what he had discussed before, and said to Zhao Tuo: "I haven't seen my elder brother for several years. In the past two years, I heard that my elder brother has done various important things in Qin. He can be called a famous general in the world. It's really amazing." My brother is in admiration."

"This time I heard that my elder brother led the army, and my younger brother was thinking of a small country that could not resist the army of Qin. Moreover, Zhao Jia wanted to collude with the Hu people and cede the land to the Xiongnu. This made me very upset."

"That's why I came here on this adventure. First, I wanted to be like my elder brother, seeking some wealth and honor in Qin, and to preserve the family blood. Second, I also hope that my elder brother can drive those barbarians out of the generation. My land of Xia can be controlled by The barbarians occupy it."

This time, when Zhao Shuo spoke in elegant words, all the generals in the tent could hear him clearly, and everyone cheered immediately.

Zhao Tuo nodded.

When Zhao said this, he explained clearly the reason why he came to vote for the Qin army.

One is to live for wealth.

The second is to hate Zhao Jia's collusion with the Huns.

The third reason is that because Zhao Tuo is Zhao Shuo's clan brother, he will never treat him badly.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "My brother's action is very righteous. Guan Jingzhong once said to the Marquis of Qi, 'Rongdi, wolves, don't hate them. Zhu Xia is intimate, and you can't abandon it'. Zong Zhou was killed. Zhao Jia led the Xiongnu south today, which is also an act of betrayal of the Xia. My brother can understand righteousness, he is really a hero."

Zhao Tuo's words made Zhao Shuo's face flushed, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

At this time, Zhao Tuo asked "casually" again: "My brother left the generation and joined me this time. I wonder if it can attract Zhao Jia's attention. I see that generation of cavalry is cruising in front, how did my brother come here?"

Zhao said according to the answer he had memorized before, he replied: "This mountain forest has its own path, and I have already found out about it before. This time, I took a detour from the path, so I was not discovered by the local cavalry."

Zhao Tuo glanced at Zhao and said that the gray stains on the clothes and the mud on the shoes seemed to have indeed come out of the forest.

Feeling slightly less suspicious, Zhao Tuo asked again: "I heard that Zhao Jia colluded with the Xiongnu, but I don't know the details. My brother can tell me."

Ever since the envoy of the Dai State was reprimanded by Qin Wangzheng and expelled back to Dai.

Zhao Jia knew that there were spies in high positions in Daicheng, and they had been disclosing information to the people of Qin. Therefore, during this period of time, the generation of people strictly guarded against death and prevented the transmission of letters between people, which made Zhao Tuo not very familiar with the current situation of the generation.

Zhao Shuo said, "The reason why the Xiongnu went south this time is because the King of Yan and Yan Guo Taifu Ju Wu lobbied for help, so the Xiongnu Shanyu was willing to join forces with Zhao Jia to fight against Qin..."

At this point, there was a constant sound of surprise and surprise.

Zhao Tuo asked in astonishment, "King Yan?"

"Is that the old boy Yan Wangxi? Back then, Naigong and the general chased him. In order to survive, this old boy kicked his own son out of the car and ran away without a trace. Even the cavalry sent by General Li Xin did not catch up with him." , I didn’t expect to hide with the Huns.”

Black Butt called out on the spot.

At the end, his eyes were even brighter: "It's great that this old boy King Yan is in Daicheng. We didn't catch him in the west of Liaoxi, but now we just captured him and Zhao Jia together. This is a king. Ah! If we capture him and then destroy the Dai Kingdom, wouldn't we be able to be promoted again!"

"Promotion."

The generals whispered excitedly.

Not only the generals, but even Zhao Tuo was quite excited.

Regardless of the fact that all of the Yan Kingdom is occupied by the Qin army, Yan Wangxi is left with only a lonely family, and now he still needs to rely on the Huns to gain a foothold.

But Yan Wangxi's identity is there, he is a king anyway, capturing him and sending him to Xianyang is definitely a great achievement.

The six kings are complete, and the four seas are one.

Now among the six kings, Zhao Wangqian, Han Wangan, Wei Wangjia and Chu Wang have all bowed their heads, Qi Wangjian is also a matter of time, only Yan Wangxi is missing.

Qin Wangzheng, who has always had a collection addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder, is definitely uncomfortable in his heart even though he doesn't say anything.

If he, Zhao Tuo, took Yan Wangxi back this time, wouldn't it make Wang Xin happy?

However, Zhao Tuo quickly calmed down and waved his hands to silence the generals. Then he asked Zhao, "Has the Xiongnu made an alliance with Zhao Jia? How many troops are coming this time? How are you going to fight against our Qin army?

Zhao said: "The Huns are greedy. He wants to send five thousand stones of grain, ten carts of pearls and jade, and one thousand women on behalf of the country. He also wants Zhao Jia to give up all the land north of Gaoliu to Hu after defeating the Qin army. People. In this way, they can dispatch 100,000 cavalry to join forces with Dai Guo and go south to fight against Qin. I saw that the Hu people were greedy and wanted the land of the Zhao people, so I made up my mind and came to vote for my brother."

"One hundred thousand riders?"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly turned cold, and the good mood that I just heard that Yan Wangxi was in Daicheng disappeared suddenly.

Although the weapons of the barbarians were crude, and they didn't even have armor, it was undeniable that these barbarians were superb in riding and horseback riding skills. In the past, King Wuling of Zhao took a fancy to their combat effectiveness in riding and shooting in Hufu.

If 100,000 Xiongnu rode south to cooperate with tens of thousands of horses from Dai to fight against Qin, that would be a formidable enemy.

Zhao Tuo frowned and said, "Have the Huns gone south?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head and said, "I didn't see it. There were only a thousand cavalry around Daicheng escorting the King of Yan to the south, and negotiating with Zhao Jia on behalf of the Xiongnu Shanyu."

Zhao Tuo was very concerned about the Huns going south, so he asked Zhao Shuo some more specific questions.

But Zhao Shuo shook his head and said, "My brother in Daicheng speaks very lightly. The Huns that I know about are only known because of the harsh conditions of the Huns, and it was only when people spread the word. As for the specific plans of the Xiongnu Shanyu and Zhao Jia, I don't know much about it." .”

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo became suspicious and nodded secretly.

This kind of answer is normal. If the ten-year-old Zhao said that even the Xiongnu and Zhao Jia's conspiracy plan can be known, then there is a problem.

Since there was nothing more about the information about the Huns, Zhao Tuo brought the topic to Dai City again, and asked, "My brother came here this time and said he wanted to tell us the truth about the Dai army. What can you teach me?"

Zhao said in response: "Zhao Jia was terrified when he heard that his brother had arrived with his army. He strengthened the defense of Daicheng day and night, and prepared to defend the city to the death. After the Huns go south, they can attack brother's army from inside and outside."

"Although there are Dai army cavalry cruising on the road ahead, they are looking for the traces of the elder brother's army. Don't worry about this. Brother can march with peace of mind. It's just that you need to be careful of those Hun cavalry who will appear at any time under the Dai city. "

Zhao said that while talking, he drank another glass of wine.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "Well, I heard that Daicheng is dangerous, and Zhao Jia wants to defend the city to the death and wait for reinforcements, which is reasonable. But in this way, he is a turtle in the urn, and we will capture him. Then let him taste Taste the power of our Qin army's cannons. As for the Huns, if they really want to give up their strengths in riding and shooting, and come to attack our Qin army, they will not be afraid."

Zhao Tuo looked outside the tent, only to see that the sky was already dark. Then he laughed and said: "It's getting late, I should go to inspect the barracks. My younger brother must have been tired after walking all the way in the mountains and forests. Let's go down for a rest and eat, and talk to my younger brother after tomorrow's work is over."

Before nightfall, he inspected the barracks, checked the situation of each barracks, and listened to the voices of the soldiers at the bottom. This is the habit Zhao Tuo developed when he was in the army. Even now that he is the general of the army, it has not changed.

Zhao Tuo has always kept in mind that even if he is in a high position, he must never be separated from the soldiers at the bottom.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo was about to get up and leave the tent, Zhao said that he was in a hurry.

You must know that Dai Wang Jia is lurking in the valley in front of the Qin army with a large army. After he succeeds, the Qin army's camp is in chaos, and he can launch a surprise attack.

Even after Zhao Tuo was killed, there were still other Qin generals in charge of the situation to ensure that the camp was not chaotic, so that Zhao Jia could not make a surprise attack. But once the main general dies, it is impossible for the Qin army to enter Daicheng again, and they must retreat. Zhao Jia can take advantage of the situation to pursue and win a victory.

In this case, the assassination must be completed as soon as possible. If it is delayed until tomorrow, when the forward of the Qin army marches towards Daicheng and disperses the cavalry of the Dai army along the road, they will definitely find the Dai army ambushing in the valley ahead.

And he Zhao said that there may not be any chance of getting close to Zhao Tuo in the future.

"The assassination should not be postponed in an emergency. If it is delayed, there will be no chance if it is not guaranteed."

Zhao said that he was secretly cheered up, and stretched out his hand to drink the wine on the case in one gulp.

He blushed and said to Zhao Tuo who was about to get up: "Wait a minute, brother, I still have something to offer to brother, which can help him win the battle and also seek some wealth for myself."

Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Shuo's flushed face, and asked doubtfully, "What can my brother offer me?"

Zhao said: "My brother came from a long distance, and I don't know how dangerous the place is. I have drawn a map for my brother to make meritorious service on the battlefield."

A map of Daidi?

This thing is indeed very useful for fighting on the battlefield. After all, the Qin army is a guest army, coming from outside, and the map in their hands may not be as detailed as Zhao said.

However, Zhao Tuo watched the flushed Zhao Yue get up from behind the case, walked towards him, and reached out to touch his clothes.

The generals in the tent already had a little trust in Zhao Shuo because he provided information first, and the other party was General Zhao's family brother, so they didn't have much to say about this kind of outrageous behavior.

On the contrary, the alarm bells rang in Zhao Tuo's mind, and he remembered the scene in the Qin Palace in the past.

"Li Shang."

Zhao Tuo yelled, and Li Shang heard the call, and immediately said to Zhao to go, wanting to take the picture.

At this time, seeing Zhao Tuo's short soldiers approaching, Zhao Shuo knew that this matter had reached the last juncture.

The arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

He estimated that there was only two steps between himself and Zhao Tuo, separated by a desk.

enough!

Seeing this red-faced young man from the Zhao family suddenly tore open his robe, an inner bag was sewn into his robe, and a dagger was stuck inside.

Zhao said he grabbed it and pulled it out.

The flames in the tent flickered, and the dagger shone with a faint green light under the lamplight.

"Zhao Tuo betrayed his ancestors and rebelled, and he will die!"

Zhao Shuo yelled and rushed forward with a dagger.

Regarding Mrs. Xu's dagger, according to "Historical Records: Assassin Biography": "So the prince asked for the world's most profitable dagger, and got Mrs. Xu's dagger from Zhao, and took a hundred gold."

Mrs. Xu (male) is a famous swordsmith in Zhao State. Yandan bought his dagger after hearing of his reputation. Naturally, he couldn't have cast only one dagger, otherwise, how could he spread his reputation and make Yandan trust him and buy it at a high price. He is from Zhao, and it should be no problem to find a handle on behalf of the country.
