Since you have decided to go to the imperial capital of Zhao State, the preparations before going should be easy to do, and you should not be in a hurry.

Chang Shenghou had already led his soldiers and horses to take over the county town of eastern Tibet, and then the army opened up and completely occupied this majestic county town, and Xiao Rui also lived in the Taishou Mansion.

After two days, when the situation in the county town was completely stabilized, Zhang Liang and the others were ready.

Among the soldiers of the Iron Dragoon, a person with a similar figure to Xiao Rui was selected, and Azhu taught him the skills of wearing a mask and makeup, and when he dressed up, as long as he didn't speak, people who were not familiar with Xiao Rui couldn't tell the truth at all.

When Chang Shenghou Tian Boyuan was invited, he saluted the fake Xiao Rui, and the fake Xiao Rui raised his hand to signal, Chang Shenghou got up, and always felt that the prince in front of him was different from the previous two days.

And when the real Xiao Rui in the side room came out, Chang Shenghou was stunned, pointing at the real and false Xiao Rui and couldn't speak.

Xiao Rui laughed and said: "Even the Hou Ye can't tell the truth from the fake, it seems that the palace can go to the imperial capital of Zhao with confidence." ”

Chang Shenghou's stunned expression immediately turned into horror, and he immediately shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go to the imperial capital of Zhao State, no, absolutely not!" A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a dignified crown prince! If Your Highness has three longs and two shorts, the last general will not be able to explain to His Majesty even if he dies! ”

Xiao Rui knew that Chang Shenghou would not agree, so he didn't bother to explain to him, so he directly took out the gold medal, waved at him, and said: "This is His Majesty's order, and Lord Hou can rest assured, this palace will disguise his face, and this person will pretend to be this palace to continue to supervise the army, confusing the enemy's ears and eyes, I believe that the enemy just wants to break his head, and I don't know that this palace will come to the imperial capital of Zhao in person." Hou Ye said yes? ”

As soon as Chang Shenghou saw that it was "like me coming in person", he knew that he couldn't stop the prince, and at the same time, his majesty was too fond of this prince, and he didn't even take it back if he rewarded this kind of gold medal.

But then again, what His Highness said was right, so he couldn't believe that the prince of a country would swagger to the imperial capital of the enemy country, and he was bold.

"Your Highness, this matter is still too dangerous!" Chang Shenghou still dissuaded.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Two sixth-grade masters, two fifth-grade masters, two resourceful strategists, the cultivation of this palace is not bad, plus a disguise master, why don't Emperor Zhao dare to go?" Hou Ye can put his heart in his body, and I will come all the way west in the imperial capital of Zhao State! ”

Chang Shenghou said again: "If you go to the imperial capital, you will definitely encounter interrogation along the way!" What should I do if I accidentally expose my stuffing? ”

Zhang Liang explained: "Hou Ye rest assured, we have secretly forged the identity of the people of Zangdong County, and all the formalities for the household registration certificate have been completed, we will pretend to be businessmen who escaped from the county town of Zangdong, and now the county town of Zangdong is in the hands of Hou Ye, and Zhao Guo has no way to verify it, and it can be guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

"Well, then." Chang Shenghou was helpless, so he could only nod.

……

On the same day, Xiao Rui, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Li Yuanfang, Yang Youji and A Zhu, a total of seven people, quietly left the county town of eastern Tibet and headed west.

As for gunpowder, this arranged for Wu Zhanfa to find a reliable caravan and let them transport it to the capital of Emperor Zhao, the people of Zhao have not seen gunpowder, even if they investigate, they can be forged into materials for alchemy, Emperor Zhao likes to eat pills, and just borrowed this rhetoric. In addition, the merchants have their own way, and if they are given enough money, they will have a way to get in. When Xiao Rui arrives at the place, he just needs to take over.

Leaving the county town of eastern Tibet, he entered the territory of western Tibet the next day.

As the eastern Tibetan county fell into the hands of Great Xia, the western Tibetan county was also full of soldiers, and many large families moved their families to escape in the direction of the imperial capital, and they were afraid that they would be robbed of everything if they fell into the hands of Great Xia.

This is their overwhelming!

As the crown prince of Great Xia, Xiao Rui dared to hold his chest and promise that he would never move a stitch from the people of Zhao Kingdom in a short period of time!

After all, to appease the people of Zhao State, this is a big deal.

As for the future...

The local tyrants and gentry of the Zhao Kingdom, you bully the people, squeeze the people's fat and ointment, and the people are watching the sky, and you will have to pay the price after all.

In addition, Xiao Rui also saw that the garrison of Western Tibetan County was also a few tens of thousands of regular troops, and they also relied on recruited men to garrison it, but the surrender of Xun Qing, who was too guarded by Eastern Tibetan County, also cast a shadow on Western Tibetan County.

Before Xiao Rui came, he felt Xun Qing's loyalty, and deliberately asked people to tell Xun Qing's purpose for surrendering. The first is to respect Xun Qing's character, and the second is to naturally be a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight.

If you can't keep it, why waste the lives of the people?

The Taishou of Zangdong County has made a choice, and the county town of Zangdong has also made a new example, so what should the next county town of Zangdong do?

The soldiers didn't want to die, and the people didn't want their families to be ruined, so before the army of Great Xia entered the western Tibetan county, the western Tibetan county was already turbulent.

Xiao Rui's seven people passed through the county town of western Tibet, and rested here for the night, taking a look at the situation by the way. At this time, entering the county town required a strict investigation, and Xiao Rui's seven people had complete procedures and entered the city easily.

The atmosphere in the city was depressing, as if panicked by the impending war, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians. After a little inquiry, I found out the situation in the city.

The general in charge of garrisoning the county town in western Tibet is called Guan Hui, this person is much more decent than Ling Hufeng, not by relationships, but by military merits to sit up little by little. And this person's attitude is very straightforward, he has already issued a military order, desperately guarding the county town of western Tibet, and he will never allow the soldiers and horses of Daxia to go, and if he wants to pass, he will step on the corpse of Erlang in the west city of Tibetan County!

Whoever dares to suggest surrender, kill!

Whoever dares to talk about surrender will be punished severely!

Such a "loyal minister" who is willing to repay the country's kindness with his death is blocked here, and it is not so simple for Chang Shenghou to take this county town.

If you can't attack the heart, it's impossible to attack, is it difficult to attack?

Guo Jia and Zhang Liang went out for a walk, and when they came back, they had an idea. With two top strategists here, I'm afraid I don't have an idea?

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Highness, before we leave here, let's help Chang Shenghou clear the obstacles." ”

Zhang Liang also said: "Yes, we may be a gesture, but we can save the lives of countless Daxia Erlang. ”

Storming a city is an act of heavy losses in the most ancient times, and if you can outwit it, it is naturally the best.

"What did the two gentlemen find?" Xiao Rui asked.

Guo Jia said: "Guan Hui, the defender of the county town in western Tibet, will fight the main battle, and will never surrender, and his straight character will inevitably offend people!" Now that the general trend of Zhao is like this, the soldiers of Zhao are in turmoil, how many people are really willing to repay the country with death? Just now I went out with the ovary to inquire, and I heard that Guan Hui's lieutenant was fined ten rods! The reason for the punishment is to talk about surrender! ”

Zhang Liang added: "Guan Hui's intention is actually very simple, he even dares to punish his own lieutenant, so he wants to tell the soldiers and the people that his determination is to kill chickens and monkeys." But alas, he ignored the feelings of his lieutenant. If you communicate well with the deputy general before fighting, it belongs to acting, and if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, then it will be fine. But this is not the case, the relationship between Guan Hui and the deputy general is not harmonious, so it is not acting. ”

"Guan Hui was born by military merit, and he looks down on the deputy general who relies on family relations, the two have a lot of gaps, and often quarrel, and Guan Hui can't help the deputy general who has a relationship behind him, so he can't blame him, in addition to deterring soldiers and people, but also taking the opportunity to punish this deputy general."

Speaking of which, Xiao Rui had already guessed Zhang Liang and Guo Jia's plans.

"You two mean to assassinate Guan Hui?" Xiao Rui asked.

Killed Guan Hui, who was bent on defending, under the complete collapse of the dragon's masterless army, the deputy general was on the throne, this deputy general was incompetent and incompetent, how could he be able to defend the county town of western Tibet? If the army presses the realm, it will scare him into having no master!

However, he will not hold on and will not surrender.

Zhao Guo has not died for a day, and few officials have the courage to be a "traitor" like Xun Qing, and this deputy general still has a family behind him, so there is only one way left for this deputy general, that is, abandon the city and flee!

At that time, he only needs to blame the dead Guan Hui for the loss of the city, and this deputy general will rely on the family to do a little more, and there will be no responsibility at all.

Guo Jia and Zhang Liang nodded, and then told their detailed plan.

Xiao Rui immediately agreed after hearing this.

At the same time, he was also very emotional.

A few months ago, Zhao State was still very bullish and took the initiative to invade Great Xia, and now it has begun to collapse on the whole front, although the larger reason is that Qin State entered the customs and caught Zhao State off guard, but to investigate it deeply, it is still the essence of Zhao State's problem.

Guo Jia's reasonableness and evidence illustrate Emperor Zhao's mediocrity, which can now be seen from the county towns of eastern Tibet and western Tibet. The cronyism of officials, the squeezing of the people, and the large contradictions and gaps between officials are one of the reasons for the collapse of the Zhao State.

This gave Xiao Rui emotion, but also a kind of self-reflection.

Next, according to Guo Jia and Zhang Liang's strategy, Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei went out late at night, and with the skills of the two, it was not a problem to assassinate Guan Hui.

After finishing Guan Hui, Xiao Rui and the others, who had rested all night, went out of the city and continued to go west, Guan Hui's death will make the county town of western Tibet even more turbulent, don't look at only solving this one person, but let the sons of Daxia die thousands of people!

After Zangxi County, the next step is Lingshan County.

The topography of Lingshan County is as its name suggests, it is mountainous, since ancient times, the mountains are prone to thieves and robbers, and now the Zhao Kingdom is chaotic, and many big families have moved their families to flee to the imperial capital of Zhao State, which is all fat sheep, which makes the bandits and robbers crazy.

Xiao Rui's seven people bypassed a mountain, and they heard the sound of fighting on the official road in front of them, and when they were close to some observations, they saw that more than 100 bandits were looting a convoy, surrounding them, and trying to subdue them all.

Although there were only thirty or forty people in this convoy, there were masters in the guards, so although they were surrounded and attacked, they could only be regarded as dangerous.

Li Yuanfang said to Xiao Rui: "Young master, although there are many bandits, they are not the climate, the guards of this convoy are not simple, and the bandits can't take them down." ”

Xiao Rui nodded, daring to pass by the mountain where bandits are rampant, how could he not be prepared?

Xiao Rui didn't think about going up to help, but who knows, the system that had been silent for many days actually jumped out.

"As an excellent host, how can you see death without saving?"

"New mission open!"

Xiao Rui's face was strange, since he became the prince, the amount of tasks in the system has dropped sharply, and sometimes there is no task for more than half a month, not to mention the preface laid before the task is issued this time.

What does this mean?

This shows that there is a conspiracy in the system!

Xiao Rui opened the system and saw that the system tasks were as follows:

"New Mission: Help this team sweep away the bandits, Arrival value +30 for mission completion, 50/100 for current Advent value, 1/3 Wish value."

There was a lot of advent value, which made Xiao Rui very satisfied, so he said: "Yuan Fang, Dian Wei, Yang Youji, go and help." ”

"Okay!" Li Yuanfang pulled out the iron dragon chant.

Dian Wei brandished his halberds and suddenly asked, "Your Highness, who are you helping?" Help the bandits? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rui was stunned, yes, for them, the people of Zhao are enemies, and the enemies of enemies are friends, so thieves are friends.

There's nothing wrong with this logic.

Zhang Liang glared at Dian Wei and said, "We are from Zhao now, of course we kill the bandits!" ”

"Oh oh..."Dian Wei smirked, and then rushed over.
