Chapter 0076 - Stoned to death fake Zhao Tuo
Ren Huan's words almost didn't make Yun Xiaoshui vomit blood, and more than 10,000 mud horses flew in his heart! I thought: "Old horseman, as said in history, he has long had the ambition to break away from Great Qin and become king in Lingnan independently!" ”
Yun Xiaoshui did not hesitate anymore, and secretly ordered to chase the wind and thunder, and led people to assassinate Zhao Tuo.
"My major move to help Qin Shi Huang extend the life span of Great Qin started with the assassination of Zhao Tuo! Hehehe......" Yun Xiaoshui sneered to himself, and muttered after laughing: "Who asked Zhao Tuo to support 500,000 troops, sit back and watch the Great Qin Empire collapse in Lingnan without saving it, and 'gather troops in desperation' and establish himself as the king?" ”
"Eun Gong! Since Ren Huan dared not to do what the First Emperor would do, why didn't we kill him and let General Meng Zheng be the commander? Why did you go far and far to assassinate Zhao Tuo? He's still a petty official! ”
"That won't do! No matter what you say, Ren Huan is still a veteran general who has a lot of military merits for Daqin, and he also has 100,000 elites and 200,000 Tuntian People's Army, and if he kills him, it will be chaotic!
Even if Meng Zheng can defeat them and control the situation, the price to pay is too great. Killing Zhao Tuo will not affect anything, but can only force Ren Huan to agree to Meng Zheng as the deputy commander! ”
"Good! Subordinates understood! "Chasing the wind and thunder, they went to prepare, there is no time to wait, three days, to assassinate an unfamiliar person in an unfamiliar place, they are also challenging the limit of assassination!
I only know the name, I haven't seen anyone, and I don't know where I live, Chasing Feng first personally led the team to change his identity to inquire about Zhao Tuo's residence, fortunately, Zhao Tuo was an absolute celebrity when he was in the local area, and it was easy to find out about him.
Secondly, Chasing Wind sent Feng Lei to take people to monitor Zhao Tuo's residence, and he continued to try his best to find out Zhao Tuo's living habits, especially his work and rest schedule.
Of course, determining which one is Zhao Tuo is the first thing to do, and when you start the assassination operation, you don't even know what the person you want to assassinate looks like, whether it is black or white, fat or thin, isn't it a big joke?
Three days have passed, and even Yun Xiaoshui, who fully believes in the abilities of his subordinates, is a little impatient! However, before Yun Xiaoshui panicked, Chasing the Wind had already completed the task.
Zhao Tuo is dead! In his own home, he was stoned to death by a "roof clay beast" that fell from the roof, and there was nothing suspicious. It was windy that day, and the pottery beast on the roof of the building fell down and smashed Zhao Tuo's head.
After Ren Huan received the news of Zhao Tuo's unexpected death, he didn't move or speak for a long time. As a general, he naturally does things with credit, and immediately fulfills everything promised in advance.
Meng Zheng was the deputy commander of the entire Lingnan "Tunshu" army, and led 100,000 elite soldiers of his headquarters to garrison the three major gateways connecting with the Central Plains, that is, the three major passes of Hengpu, Yangshan, and Huangxi, and led 150,000 immigrants to cultivate nearby.
Yun Xiaoshui put his mind at ease and continued to be busy with his task of designing the stone arch bridge, running around all day long, and his hands and feet did not stop for a moment.
"Young Master! There is an abnormal phenomenon, it has been ten days since Zhao Tuo's death, and there is no funeral, and there is no sign of mourning! "Wind and thunder and chasing the wind came together to report to Yun Xiaoshui.
"This should be a water burial, did they have no ceremony and just put it into the water?" Yun Xiaoshui is a bit of a layman, and he still doesn't believe that no matter how simple the funeral is, there is no need to do it, doesn't it stink when it is placed at home for ten days? It's early summer in the south.
"No stench! There is no one in Zhao Tuo's mansion, and there is no one nearby. ”
"Then there is only one explanation, Zhao Tuo is not dead, the one who died is not the real Zhao Tuo, naturally he can't be buried, and the fake Zhao Tuo who died has been buried!"
"Why? If it's fake, why don't you continue to fake it? ”
"It's easy to fake your death, but it's not easy to fake your burial! It's not good to draw a tiger and not be an anti-dog! ”
I really let Yun Xiaoshui guess correctly! Zhao Tuo is really not dead, the person who died is a stand-in for Zhao Tuo, and also a personal guard of Zhao Tuo, whether it is size, figure, face, or voice, he is very similar to Zhao Tuo.
On that day, Zhao Tuo's stand-in, wearing Zhao Tuo's clothes, hurried downstairs, and was smashed on the head by a very heavy pottery statue of a divine beast that fell from the roof, and his brain burst on the spot, and he died with a whimper.
After Zhao Tuo found out, he had more suspicions, "Who wants me to die?" So, he faked his death, hoping to find out who had murdered him. As a result, I didn't find it for three days, I didn't find it for seven days, and I still didn't find anything for ten days. He himself was shaken!
"Is it really a coincidence? It was really windy that day! ”
The fake Zhao Tuo was also buried early, and the real Zhao Tuo should cover his eyes and ears if he didn't die, so he said that he would not be buried by water, and left it in the basement to "air dry", also called "dry corpse burial"!
"Dry corpse? It's the first time I've heard of it, young master! As soon as the news of the wind and thunder was told to Yun Xiaoshui, Yun Xiaoshui immediately judged that this Zhao Tuo was a fake death, and the purpose of the fake death was to find the person who assassinated him. It seems that he cannot identify his enemy, or that he does not yet have an opponent who is worthy of such extreme means!
"Then he's sure he can't guess us! Now that General Meng Zheng has established a firm foothold, Zhao Tuo's life and death have become less important.
The important thing at the moment is to let General Meng Zhengxiao plan to stay here for a long time, and more importantly, to be vigilant at all times and everywhere, Ren Huan is here and the emperor is far away, his ambition is not small, and his ambition can be described as big! ”
As soon as Yun Xiaoshui's words were finished, General Meng Zheng ran to General Meng Zheng outside the camp tent, saluted with his fists, and said loudly: "Please teach me!" ”
Meng Zheng heard that Yun Xiaoshui was worried about his future again, and he was very grateful to come to Yun Xiaoshui to ask for advice. He already knew that his arrival as the deputy commander of the Lingnan Garrison Army was purely the recommendation of a prodigy craftsman.
After coming, General Ren Huan didn't want to buy this account, and it was Yun Xiaoshui who helped Meng Zheng get the position of deputy commander. In addition, Meng Zheng and Yun Xiaoshui had a cooperation to exterminate the rebels, and the friendship between the two at this time was already very deep.
Meng Zheng sincerely asked for advice, and Yun Xiaoshui also sincerely helped. Yun Xiaoshui put forward three suggestions to Meng Zheng:
The first is to find a secret base training office, a secret sharp knife army, which is now a special agent and a special force. In addition to being equipped with the most advanced armaments of Great Qin, Yun Xiaoshui taught them to introduce the flying hammers and battle axes of their descendants into the army, which greatly improved their combat effectiveness.
Second, it is necessary to set up a team of scouts under the direct leadership of Meng Zheng to specialize in seeking information, especially military intelligence, and can also carry out assassination or sabotage. For example, burning military rations, murdering war horses, destroying strong bows, assassinating commanders, etc.
In this army, Yun Xiaoshui taught them to train scout dogs and carrier pigeons. The use of carrier pigeons to deliver messages was very fast in those days. They were also taught how to make and use blowguns, and how to use poisoned arrows for assassination.
The third is to maintain contacts with the Central Plains and the imperial court at all times, so that the information is very smooth. At any time, the First Emperor was informed of the recent situation of him and General Ren Huan, as well as all the soldiers and civilians of the "Tunshu".
"The youngster has been taught! Such a combination of light and dark, pulling and beating, at any time for the first emperor to stick here! ”
"Hehehe...... There are little generals Meng guarding here, and none of them dare to break away from Great Qin and engage in the independence of the princes! ”
Besides, although he lost the gamble with Yun Xiaoshui, he did what he said in advance, but he was still not convinced, because things were not done according to his wishes.
In addition, he also expressed doubts about Zhao Tuo's sudden death.
"How can it be such a coincidence? Can Yun Xiaoshui really understand the world's mundane affairs and predict good fortune and evil? ”
