Chapter 36 Although Chu has three households, Qin will be Chu if he dies
readx;?“ Is this Zhao Xin's room? ”
The night is peaceful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Tian Yan's heart couldn't calm down.
After this night, perhaps the world will change dramatically.
Zhao Gao led dozens of horsemen to chase Zhao Xin, and he has not returned yet.
Surprisingly, Tian Yan was interested in this Zhao Xin.
Unlike other CRRC guards, Zhao Xin has an independent business tent.
Tian Yan walked into it, the residual lights were dim, and there were a large pile of bamboo slips in the camp. Tian Yan stepped forward and flipped through a scroll, the content of which was about the specific measures of Tuntian.
There are dozens of them, some of which are already being implemented by the empire on the border, and some of which are improvements made by Zhao Xin according to the soil hydrology of different counties.
"This Zhao Xin is really both civil and military!"
Tian Yan looked at the contents on the bamboo slip and said.
"Hall Master, let's hurry up! If people know that we've broken into here, I don't know what else will happen! Xiaolan was wearing ordinary guard clothes, and the woman's face was pink under the men's clothes, revealing a sense of timidity.
Xiaolan pulled the corner of Tian Yan's clothes and said in a panic.
"I see."
"Looking at this scene, it reminds me of another person!"
"Who?" Xiaolan hid beside Tian Yan, looked around, afraid that someone would come, and asked cautiously.
"Yang Kai!"
"Him?"
Xiao Lan was puzzled, why did her hall master suddenly talk about Yang Kai?
Tian Yan didn't explain, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and walked out of the tent.
Chang Wenjun's men were already waiting outside, and it seemed that things were in a hurry.
Tian Yan, under the leadership of Chang Wenjun's personal guard, walked into a side hall.
There are only two people in this hall, Chang Wenjun, and Zhao Gao, who rushed back.
Zhao Gao described him as embarrassed, there were even two fine blood marks on his gloomy face, and his clothes were torn in many places, and it seemed that the road to catch up was not smooth.
"Did it fail?"
Tian Yan asked softly.
"Miss Tian Yan is right." Zhao Gao didn't seem to have any intention of hiding his failure, and at the same time, in his heart, his evaluation of this woman was two layers higher.
Zhao Gao had just come back, and he wanted to tell Chang Wenjun about the pursuit. But Chang Wenjun had to wait until Tian Yan came over before letting Zhao Gao tell him. "The slave maid had already pursued Zhao Xin, but at the last moment, he was left by a copper-faced man!"
"The bronze-faced man? Prince Qin's people? Tian Yan asked.
"Probably not!" Zhao Gao shook his head and said, "Ying Ziyi's famous masters, slaves and maids know everything in their hearts. Looking at the number of ways this copper-faced man shots, he is definitely not a person in the net. Moreover, if it is really deliberately arranged by Ying Ziyi, I am afraid that the slave will not be able to come back this time! Zhao Gao said.
The grievances between Zhao Gao and Ying Ziyi, Tian Yan knows. If he heard him say this today, Tian Yan had a trace of disappointment in his heart.
"This is the end of it. Nowadays, there is only one faster than whom! Chang Wenjun put his hands behind his back and said.
"What do you mean?"
"Whoever can enter Xianyang first and control the situation will be able to control this empire." When Chang Wenjun said this, his white beard trembled slightly, showing that his mood was agitated.
Chang Wenjun looked at Tian Yan and said, "Childe has already set off overnight. Hall Master of the Burning Mountain, this time I want to trouble you to go back to the farmhouse to make a response. ”
"The concubine understands."
"Chang Wenjun, what should we do now?" Looking at Tian Yan's departing figure, Zhao Gao's eyes narrowed, turned his head, and asked.
"Now that the master we sent has probably arrived in the clouds, under such a formation, Yingziyi has no luck."
"But if Ying Ziyi escapes by luck, things will be very bad! And Meng Yi has probably obtained the jade seal at this moment, if he and Meng Tian will make peace, Jiuyuan's army is afraid that they will go south to Guanzhong! Zhao Gao twisted his eyebrows and said worriedly.
"So be it! Tell the world that it will collapse. Follow the drive to Xingyang and enter the customs. ”
"Xingyang? That's Li You's territory! Although Li Si agreed to us on the surface, he secretly didn't know what to think, whether this was inappropriate. ”
"It doesn't matter. At the same time as announcing to the world, an edict was issued to abolish the succession of Ying Ziyi and Gongzi to the crown prince. ”
Zhao Gao looked at Chang Wenjun, it turned out that the so-called other strategy was actually this. Could it be that Chang Wenjun had this idea from the beginning?
Zhao Gao was shocked to realize that he had really underestimated His Royal Highness the eldest prince before!
……
Yunzhong County.
In the mountains, the tents stretched.
"Is that Ying Ziyi?"
Riding lightly, galloping and opening the bow, chasing the prey that was already about to enter the dense forest.
"What a young man!"
The black-clothed assassin who was lying in ambush licked his lips and said in surprise.
"I've always heard of Yingziyi's name, and today, I'm going to let him die under my sword." The other black-clad assassin said with a fierce face.
"Don't say a word, Ying Ziyi has entered the dense forest, let our people do it!" The black cloth led by him reprimanded at this moment.
As soon as the murderous aura was released, the birds in the forest were frightened and fled in all directions.
On the other side of the camp, the guards accompanying Ying Ziyi also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong.
The group of men and horses arrived, and the leader of the men in black said, "Let's go, let's go down and stop them, and we must buy enough time for those dozen adults." ”
The fireworks jumped into the air, and hundreds of world-class masters jumped out one after another, intercepting and killing Qin Qi, who was about to rush to support.
Outside the dense forest, on both sides of the mountain road, they fell into a melee for a while.
The faint sound of fighting came, and on the cliff, Wei Zhuang stared at the riot below, without a trace of waves on his face.
With white hair flying in the wind, shark teeth on the ground, Wei Zhuang was dressed in a smart tight-fitting suit, and there was only a big coat behind him.
A Xuan Ce sergeant flashed beside Wei Zhuang, and half-knelt down and said, "Lord Wei Zhuang, five hundred Xuan Ce sergeants have all arrived, do you want to do it at this moment?" ”
"Wait!" Wei Zhuang stretched out his hand and said slowly: "After the news of the death of the prince is spread by the dozen or so masters in the forest, our men and horses will do it again." ”
"Yes, sir!" Sergeant Xuan Ce stood up and stood behind Wei Zhuang.
The battle was in full swing, and although the hundred masters who were outside the dense forest were brave, as more and more Qin soldiers rushed over, the offensive and defensive momentum had changed.
Even if the masters of the rivers and lakes are very powerful, they are also powerless in the face of dozens of times the sergeants who are facing the enemy.
What's more, these more than 100 masters are on the defensive side, and they are completely unable to give full play to the advantage of scattering and attacking. Soon, they fell into decline. It's just that with their profound cultivation, they can still resist the offensive of the Qin army for a while, but the price they pay is calculated in terms of their lives.
An arrow jumped into the air again, which was a signal of the successful assassination of more than a dozen top masters in the forest.
This point, the master of the rivers and lakes who blocked the Qin army outside the forest also understood, and Wei Zhuang, who was standing on the cliff, also understood.
Wei Zhuang waved his hand and said, "The Xuan Ce Army is dispatched. Remember, you don't need to leave your mouth alive. ”
"Yes, sir!" The figure of the Xuan Ce sergeant flashed sharply and disappeared into the cliff.
Wei Zhuang looked at the masters of the rivers and lakes who thought that the assassination was successful and wanted to escape, and said with a cold smile: "Do you really think that this cloud is a place where you can come and leave if you want?" ”
…….
"The tyrant is dead?"
Di County.
When Tian Dan heard the news, he didn't feel that he burst out laughing, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"If it weren't for that tyrant, the three of us brothers would still be the clan of the Qi Kingdom, why would we be like a dog, driven to this Di County and be the rich man of this countryside!"
Tian Dan said word by word, his eyes were full of red bloodshots. Because of the slightly rampant smile just now, Tian Dan's originally tied bun was also loosened, and his sideburns were untidy, like a drunken maniac.
In the house, Tian Dan's brothers Tian Rong and Tian Heng were among them. Tian Rong took a step forward and asked, "Brother Dan, what should we do now?" ”
"What should I do?"
Tian Dan was happy just now, and he didn't think about what to do next?
Tian Rong arched his hand and said: "The Qin State has announced to the world the two edicts of abolishing the crown prince and changing the eldest prince as the crown prince, so that if the prince Fusu inherits the throne, the fief he promised us should be realized." ”
"Why should he give him a reward!" Tian Dan waved his hand disdainfully, burst out with pride, and said: "That tyrant is no longer there, who else in this world can stop our Tian clan." When the order of killing Di County was killed, the army was raised to the east, and the restoration of the Qi State was at this time,"
"Brother Dan, no."
Tian Heng stopped.
Hearing Tian Heng's words, Tian Dan didn't get angry, looked at Tian Heng, and asked, "Why does Brother Heng stop me?" ”
"At this time, the situation is not clear, as soon as the Qin State is still very strict in the local surveillance of our old clans of the Six Kingdoms, rashly acting, even if it finally occupies Di County, I am afraid that it will attract a large number of imperial ** teams. Second, the Xiang clan of Chu State, the two brothers of Wei and Wei Bao of Wei State, South Korea, Zhao State, Yan State and other old clan forces are all waiting and seeing, if we raise troops, it is easy to fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness. Third, on the other side of the clouds, the situation of Prince Qin is unknown, he is not a person who is willing to tie his hands, and the dispute in the empire is afraid to continue. When the situation is clear, it is not too late for us to do it! ”
Tian Heng said one by one.
Tian Rong thought for a while and echoed: "Brother Heng is right, if we raise troops at this time, I am afraid that we will make a wedding dress for others for nothing." We've all been waiting for so many years, and it's okay to wait a little longer. ”
Seeing his two younger brothers persuade him like this, Tian Dan's agitated mood went down, the whole person calmed down, thought carefully, and felt that he was too reckless just now, so he asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
"Wait!" Tian Heng said: "Maybe the chaos is about to start. ”
………
in the house.
Wei Ji carried his hands behind his back and walked back and forth.
Wei Bao looked heartless, half-lying on a thick mattress, holding a wine jug in his hand, and pouring wine himself.
"Brother Leopard, can you stop drinking. Tell me, what do we do now? ”
"What can I do? Brother, it's not like you don't know the power in our hands at the moment. The Hetian clan and the Xiang clan are different, we don't have the ability to raise troops to rebel! ”
Wei Ji knew that his brother was telling the truth. Unlike remote countries such as Qi and Chu, Korea and the homeland of Wei have always been the focus of the Empire's care.
The homeland of Korea, Sanchuan County, has a dangerous terrain, and it is a necessary place for the Qin army to go out of the customs, controlling the throat of the eastern part of the country. Shangdang County connects Taiyuan Yanmen and other places, and the danger of Taihang is the key point to monitor the grain and grass transfer in Yanzhao and other places. Yingchuan County is a fertile county with a large population.
Korea was on top of the important land that Qin went out of the east, so it was the first to be destroyed by Qin. It's just that after that, the Qin State has been more closely monitored by the old Korean clans, and Luoyang and Xingyang are even more heavily guarded.
Although Wei is better than Korea, it is not much worse. Over the years, the Qin State has moved the clans of Han and Wei to various places, in order to firmly grasp these two places.
Not to mention that the armed forces under their hands at the moment are only some outlaws, heroes in the rivers and lakes, that is, they can win the hearts of the people and gather people in the local area. If you raise troops, there is only one way to die.
But knowing that he knows, at this moment, Wei Ji's heart is like a fire burning, and he is so anxious that he can't do it.
"But even so, we can't do nothing! Do you watch the opportunity for the revival of Wei slip through your hands? ”
"Brother, don't worry. When the sky falls, there are tall people on top, and there are people who are more anxious than us at the moment, so why should you worry about the sky? The battle for the throne of the empire has not yet come to an end, and the Xiang clan and the Tian clan are still undecided, and no one wants to be this up-and-coming bird. What's more, if the prince inherits the throne, fulfills the original promise, and gives us a county of land, why do you bother to do the work of killing the head again. ”
Wei Bao raised the wine jug in his hand and said.
"I hope so!"
........
In the rain, Fan Zeng walked slowly. He had white hair and a full face, but his eyes were blazing.
"Shaoyu, the empire has officially issued an edict. It seems that the battle for the throne is urgent. ”
"Where is Fusu now?" Xiang Shaoyu stood under the eaves, looked at the rain, and asked.
"It is said that Fusu is still in action. But in my opinion, he should have rushed back to Xianyang overnight. If it is calculated according to the distance and time, it should have passed Luoyang at this moment, near Hangu. ”
Xiang Shaoyu nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle should be busy at the moment!" ”
"That's right. Your uncle is preparing at the moment, once the prince inherits the throne, the day of the revival of the Chu State is expected. ”
"He can't inherit it."
Xiang Shaoyu said affirmatively.
"Why?" Fan Zeng looked at this young man who was as close as a nephew and asked suspiciously.
"Because of that person, he can't inherit the throne." Xiang Shaoyu's eyes were sharp and he said.
"And once that person inherits the throne, at that time, it will be the time for us to raise troops."
"Your uncle won't promise you, as long as Gongzi Fusu is still there." Fan Zeng's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he said deeply.
"Maybe!" Xiang Shaoyu said, "But if that person inherits the throne, even if my uncle doesn't want to, I'm afraid he can't help but do it." ”
Xiang Shaoyu clenched his fists and took two steps forward, letting the rain wet him, feeling the violent rain.
The rain was very heavy, and Xiang Shaoyu's throat surged, as if he was saying something, but only Fan Zeng who was nearby could hear it.
"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!" (To be continued.) )
