Chapter 467: Baiyue Crisis

In the evening, Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Tuo is a workaholic, although among the three counties of Baiyue, Xiang County is the closest county to Daqin, and it is also the most stable county among the three counties. But Zhao Tuo didn't dare to be idle for a moment, and he also took on the important task of delivering supplies to Nanhai County and Guilin County.

Although Zhao Tuo is not young, his style of behavior has maintained the leader in this army for many years. He rarely goes home on weekdays, and only when he has a family banquet once a week, will Zhao's Mansion seem more like a home.

In the hall of Zhao's mansion, the boiling broth in the copper pot was boiling, and large and small plates were placed around the pot, and some meat and vegetables were in the stacks. The fat and thin snowflake mutton was put in the pot and rolled aside, and the family who ate it left oil in their mouths.

"Sir, have a cup of tea."

After a full meal, Mrs. Zhao came over with a bowl of tea.

Just finished eating the hot pot, Zhao Tuo did feel a little greasy in his stomach. And for his wife, Zhao Tuo has no suspicions. Just as Zhao Shan and Zhao Jie expected, after Zhao Tuo drank this cup of tea, he fainted in a daze.

"Mother, Dad shouldn't wake up in the next few days, remember to feed Dad some liquid food." After moving the unconscious Zhao Tuo back to the bed, Zhao Shan told his mother.

Zhao Tuo can't die, the 400,000 Qin troops in Baiyue are all veterans of the Qin army. And the one who can command these veterans of the Qin army, except for Ren Huan, is Zhao Tuo. Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan could not command these Qin soldiers, they wanted to take advantage of the days when Zhao Tuo was in a coma, and then let the situation in Baiyue settle, thus affecting the situation in the imperial court.

After Zhao Tuo fell into a coma, Zhao Shot and Zhao Shan successfully got Zhao Tuo's talisman. With the talisman in hand, Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan first ordered their henchmen to block the connection between Baiyue and Daqin. cut off the connection between Baiyue and Daqin, so that only the news they wanted the court to know could be known by the imperial court.

The news of Ren's death cannot be hidden, and no one rushes to hide it. So after Ren Huan's death, two waves of scouts set off from Nanhai County. Yibo went straight to Xiang County, and wanted to invite Zhao Tuo to go to Nanhai County to preside over the overall situation. The other wave went straight to Xianyang, bringing with them the news of Ren Huan's death and the situation in Nanhai County.

After Zhao Tuo fell into a coma, Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan's uncle and nephew immediately forged a document in Zhao Tuo's name. The content is that Guilin County Zhang Han colluded with the Baiyue natives to preside over the assassination of Ren Huan and himself. Now that the situation in the three counties of Baiyue is erosive, he asked the imperial court to send troops to support.

This is Zhao Gao's plan, with this kind of news that there is fiction in reality and reality in reality, the troops in Xianyang City are mobilized. Once Xianyang reinforces Baiyue, then Xianyang City is empty, and Zhao Gao and others can take advantage of the first emperor's coma and wait for the opportunity to launch a palace mutiny.

The next day, the news that Zhao Tuo had been assassinated when he returned home at night spread throughout Xiangjun. It was precisely because of the news of Zhao Tuo's assassination that the closure of the city gate seemed a matter of course.

Just when everyone was worried, Zhao Jie stood up and presided over the overall situation. Zhao Shot is Zhao Tuo's former brother in private, and Zhao Tuo's deputy general in public terms. Therefore, for Zhao Jie's words, the civil and military officials of Xiangjun did not think much about it.

At noon, the scouts of Nanhai County came. However, when I learned that Zhao Tuo was also assassinated and is now unconscious, I also felt a little headache. However, now that Zhao Tuo is unconscious, there is nothing he can do not. In desperation, the people from Nanhai County could only go back for the time being.

The situation in Nanhai County can become like this, it is this Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan's uncle and nephew who follow the name of Zhao Gao. Moreover, Feng Zheng secretly infiltrated Nanhai County, Ren Huan's death was just an introduction, and the situation in Nanhai County would only become more erosive in the future. Zhao's uncle and nephew naturally won't clean up this mess, and the person who said that there is another task assigned to them by Zhao Gao that has not been completed, and that is to take Zhang Han.

Among the three counties of Baiyue, Ren Huan is the mainstay, supplemented by Zhao Tuo, and Zhang Han is the vanguard general appointed by the first emperor during the expedition to Baiyue. Compared with veterans like Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo, Zhang Han's qualifications are much younger, and the army also has a lot of complaints about Zhang Han's ability to lead a city alone. Many people think that Zhang Han was able to get to this point because of Rong Luhou's recommendation, but he actually has no real ability.

"Shan'er, the matter of Xiangjun will be handed over to you, I will lead 10,000 troops to Guilin County, once you take Zhanghan, then it will be a big deal." Zhao Jie forged Zhao Tuo's military orders and led an army of 10,000 to Guilin.

At the same time, the officialdom of Nanhai County has been completely panicked. Ren Huan died, Zhao Tuo's life and death were not only known, but the two Dinghai Divine Needles in the three counties of Baiyue were broken at once. Who is behind this scene, and how much of a conspiracy is hidden in it.

Sometimes, there are some things that you can't hide if you want to, like the news of Ren Huan's death. Although Ren Huan gave a gag order before his death, the news of Ren Huan's death seems to have begun to spread in the market, and with the city gate that has not been opened for a long time, it seems to confirm this even more.

The panic has spread from the officialdom to the market, and seeing that the desired atmosphere has finally stirred up, Feng Zheng, who had already sneaked into the South China Sea, began to move. He began to secretly meet with the Baiyue tribes and made many promises. The appearance of Feng Zheng finally made it clear who was behind all this.

Nanhai County, within the Wuyue ethnic group.

The old man was meeting with Feng Zao with a few henchmen, and Feng Zai came to represent Hu Hai at this time, or said that the Great Qin, who represented the possibility of the future to negotiate with the Baiyue clans.

Feng Zai had already contacted many Baiyue clans, and even several clans. But in fact, there were more Baiyue clans who chose to wait and see, and Feng Zai knew in his heart that the attitude of the old man in front of him was very important. If he agrees to an alliance, then the matter is half the story. However, if he openly objected, it would be much more difficult for Feng Zheng to do so. Before he came, Feng Zheng already had a plan, and he wanted Wu Yue to remain neutral even if it was not good.

"Ren Huan is dead?" Before Feng Zheng could speak, the old man poured himself a cup of tea and said to himself.

As soon as the old man spoke, Feng was robbed. This sentence was originally supposed to be his opening remarks, and when he negotiated with those Baiyue clansmen, he first used this sentence to make the Baiyue clans panic. And now, before he could speak, he was preemptively spoken by the old man.

The news of Ren Huan's death was very tightly blocked, even if there were rumors in the market, but how could the old man be sure that Ren Huan was dead. At this moment, Feng Zheng realized that the old man in front of him was not simple.

"How can the old man conclude that Ren Huan is dead?" Feng Zai asked curiously.

He sent the killers, and he provided the poison on the arrows. At the moment when Ren Huan was hit by the arrow, he knew that Ren Huan was dead. So how did this old man know? Feng Zheng was very curious.

"The last time I came to the old man's place, it was just a shrimp that wasn't even a small fish, but today I came to you, a big fish. If it weren't for Ren Huan's death, the old man really couldn't think of how you dared to show up. The old man replied lightly.
