Chapter 52: The Quartet Beacon Fever
Yan and Zhao rose again and fought fiercely in the Shangcheng area. Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, rushed to support with an army of 50,000. The news was immediately delivered as fast as the wind, and soon reached the people who needed it.
At the junction of Shu and Wei, Wang Jian, the general of the Qin State who marched here, quickly read the information in his hand, and then returned it to another person beside him. Then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Wu Anjun really expected things like a god, and it was indeed Li Mu sent by King Zhao. In this way, there will be no more powerful generals in Dragon City to suppress the formation. Hahaha! ”
The person who reached out to take the secret report smiled faintly, and there was a smug look in his eyes. The entire battle plan this time was personally planned and arranged by Wei Wuzi, who was sitting in Feng'an, and it was very thorough, and there would have been no major accidents. The destruction of the Zhao State and the division of its land is only a matter of time. And as one of the main persons in charge of the Qin State spy system, he personally fought with the army, and he was the executor of all the orders of Wei Wuzi.
"General Wang, Li Mu didn't deserve much attention in the first place. But in order to kill Longcheng with one blow, Wu Anjun used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to let him go to Shangcheng. This is to create the best conditions for General Wang! Hehe! It is also a pity to say that Zhao Guo had several famous generals under Chu Lie's command, but they have all been abolished...... When the army arrives, we have to see what kind of heroes Chu Lie can achieve! ”
The man in gray laughed coldly. His name is Xuan Jiu, and he is the right-hand man of Wu Anjun, the mastermind of the Qin State, to comfort Wuzi. Although Xuan Jiu is in the army, he has a special identity and does not need to obey Wang Jian's dispatch. Moreover, Wang Jian's march also relied on his intelligence sources.
Hearing the contempt in Xuan Jiu's tone, Wang Jian was still smiling on his face. But he glanced at him carelessly, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. No matter what you say, Zhao Wang Chulie is recognized by the world as a hero of the day. He led the soldiers of Zhao to resist Hu Qi for decades, and was admired by the world for his iron-blooded bravery. The famous veterans in Zhao Guojun, such as Zheng Liancheng and Gou Wuxian, are all famous people who have experienced a hundred battles. Although they are all old and wounded, they no longer lead the army. But its style has always been admirable. Even as a general of an enemy country, Wang Jian has never insulted him.
For famous generals, respectable opponents can only be killed or killed on the battlefield, but they never disdain to slander and talk casually in private. Of course, the big war is imminent, but he will not show this kind of emotion.
"Since King Yan has already sent troops as agreed, then we have to speed up our actions. After the armies of Qin and Wei began to be launched, please ask Xuan Gong to arrange people to supervise the armies of Eastern Qi and Southern Han as soon as possible. The five countries attack Zhao, and they must not be held back! ”
"General Wang, please rest assured at this point. Wu Anjun had already sent someone to pass the word, and it was expected that the leading generals of Qi and the Southern Han would not dare to delay. Just in case, I'll arrange for someone to come back right away. ”
"There is another point, please pay attention to Xuangong. The so-called soldiers are fast, before officially launching a raid on Dragon City, they must try their best to block the news, and they must not let King Zhao Chulie have precautions in advance! ”
Wang Jian made a final entrustment. As the soldier in charge of the war spy system, Xuan Jiu played with a short sword in his hand, and his cruel smile was reflected on the blade.
"General Wang just needs to prepare to win the battle. You don't have to worry about these bits and pieces at all. My Great Qin's spy has already sealed the news to death. Now you might as well let the general know that in the past few days, we have joined forces with the Wei people and launched a big operation. The scouts and spies of the Zhao State west of the border between Wei and Zhao have all been almost wiped out. Even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, it is even more difficult to cross that blockade line to deliver the news! ”
Hearing what he said so surely, Wang Jian was relieved. Although this guy named Xuan Jiu is a little rampant, the Great Qin spy under his command is indeed worthy of his reputation and is very powerful. He said that he would not let Long Cheng know the news in advance, so it must be well-arranged and completely sure.
As one of the eight famous generals of the Qin State, Wang Jian has a wealth of combat experience. And he is even more determined to win the battle to destroy the country this time. On the one hand, this is because of the responsibility of commanding more than 80,000 elites of the Qin State and the honor of being a famous general, and he is not allowed to make any mistakes. On the other hand, it is for the sake of the fundamental interests of the Wang family.
The Wang brothers and the family behind them have always been trusted by the King of Qin. But in the past few years, the rapid rise of another big family, the Montmont family, has made Wang Jian feel a deep sense of crisis. Although the veteran Meng Fu is old, the rising stars Meng Jun and Meng Wu are brilliant, and they are already among the famous generals at the age of less than 30, which can be described as extremely powerful.
Originally, there was nothing either. Although the Meng family is powerful, the Wang family is not weak. But now that Wang Li died suddenly, Wang Jian felt a little lonely. It is difficult for other Wang children to appear in a short period of time, let alone famous generals. If the Wang family can't keep up with him in the great cause of the world that the ambitious King Qin is about to start, the future will really be worrisome.
In order to achieve honor and glory in the Qin State, military exploits on the battlefield are undoubtedly the most important means. Therefore, Wang Jian was determined to achieve world-class meritorious service this time. Ascending to Dragon City first and capturing King Zhao is his ultimate goal!
This goal is not his wild imagination, but something that can be achieved with great certainty. According to the intelligence over the years, it can be inferred that the total army of Zhao State does not exceed 200,000, and the number of capable warriors among them will be greatly reduced. Excluding the garrison forces that are sticking to the border of the four directions, the army that can be mobilized in the hands of King Zhao of Longcheng will definitely not exceed 80,000. After Yan launched the battle of Shangcheng, Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, took away another 50,000 elites, that is to say, the remaining guard force of Longcheng, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled, was only more than 30,000. Such a force is simply vulnerable in the face of the 200,000 troops of the Five-Nation Alliance. When the army arrives, it will undoubtedly win!
And the premise of all this is to ensure that the operation is top secret. Only a thunderbolt surprise attack can achieve the kind of effect that has been repeatedly planned. Destroy Zhao and capture the king, only in one fell swoop!
At this moment, in the situation of steady victory, Wang Jian's biggest worry in his heart is not the success or failure of the war, but the hope that Zhao Wang Chulie will not die early! After all, on the day of success, the weight of the living King Zhao and the dead King Zhao is very different.
"The whole army is ready to enter the Wei State! He was instructed to go down and move forward according to the guidance of the Wei guide, and no one in the territory of the friendly country was allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, the fighter will be delayed, and it will be killed! ”
Wang Jian issued a stern general order. From here, according to the marching route negotiated with Wei in advance, the Great Qin army could enter the territory of Zhao in a big way from the northwest direction at the junction of Wei and Zhao in less than three days. When the time comes, thousands of horses gallop and drive straight into Dragon City, but it is only a day and a night!
The Great Qin cavalry, which had crossed hundreds of miles, finally entered the territory of Wei. Wherever the road passed, the dust was rolling and the wind was rolling. At the same time, the generals of Great Wei also rode their war horses, commanded the assembled Wei Wushu, the world's strongest army, and began their journey. The two armies were divided into two directions, like two long dragons, and went straight to Zhao State.
Under the heavy sky, there is not a single ray of sunlight in sight. Located at the junction of Wei and Zhao, there are dozens of miles of sand dunes on the border, and there are green grass growing quietly. The woods and bushes near and far show many signs of burning. Occasionally, corpses that have not had time to be buried and blood stains that have solidified and blackened can be seen.
The boy named Bluebird had been in the mound of sand for a day and a night, but he had not waited for an opportunity to break through the area. Although the sand dunes in front of him for dozens of miles were full of signs of vitality in the spring breeze, in the squinting eyes of the young man, he saw a boundless killing opportunity!
The identity of the blue bird is just an ordinary teenager. But at this moment, he is no longer ordinary. Because he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He had to do what the dead had told him to do as he could.
Three days ago, the young bluebird returned from the north with the family's caravan, and when he returned to Zhao through the Wei-Zhao border, he unexpectedly encountered a large number of unknown people who were unreasonably intercepted, and took their group of twenty or thirty people, including people and goods, to a deserted manor not far away, and all of them were taken into custody.
Originally, they were all merchants of Zhao State, and they had traveled to and from this passage many times, but there had never been such a situation. Looking at the guards outside, their faces were unrecognizable, and their knives flashed. Everyone was locked in the dark, and they couldn't help but talk quietly, and everyone's hearts were full of trepidation. Later, after deliberation, it was unanimously decided to escape overnight in the second half of the night. They had already estimated the distance in advance, and it was still dozens of miles away from the territory of Zhao State, as long as they were not detected before dawn, everyone would be safe when they entered the patrol range of Zhao State's army.
In the second half of the night, the guards of them relented. So, these Zhao merchants quietly slipped out with their respective goods, and ran out more than ten miles away in one breath. However, just as they were secretly rejoicing, bad luck suddenly struck!
A sword light reflected the morning light on the horizon and the morning glow appeared around, and then, without saying anything, the brutal killing began. The blue bird was pushed away by the adults of the clan, and when he saw what was happening in horror, his eyes were already full of blood.
Almost in the blink of an eye, most of the caravan of dozens of people died. Those who kill silently are like black ghosts, without the slightest mercy. Blood splattered and corpses littered...... Then, they saw the angry boy with a dagger in his hand.
