Chapter 21 The reason for the failure of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin

The name Jing Ke is an unavoidable hurdle for Chinese boys, and there is no doubt that he is a hero of every boy when he is young.

Especially under the backdrop of the eternal swan song of 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone', the image of a lonely hero is too profound, and there is no doubt that Jing Ke is a hero in the minds of most people.

This character has too diverse and complex settings, which satisfies many people's fantasies about heroism, Wang Xu was also infatuated with Jing Ke for a period of time when he was young, and he also studied and sorted out this character, and there are indeed many things worth pondering about this person's events.

"Jing Ke ?!!" Wang Xu's eyelids jumped, and then he looked at Tu Tan who was unconscious, and a document flashed in his mind.

"The Biography of the Assassins in the Historical Records": "Jing Ke is to Yan, and the dog who loves Yan and the good at attacking the builder Gao gradually leaves. Jing Ke is addicted to alcohol, said to drink with the dog Tu and Gao gradually separated from the Yan City, the wine was drunk, Gao gradually left the building, Jing Ke and sang in the city, happy also, has been crying, if there is no one around. ’

"Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin": "Jing Ke has something to do, and he wants to be with it, and his people live in the far future, but to stay." It has not been released, and the prince is late. suspected that he had repented, but re-asked: "The days are over, is Jing Qing unintentional?" Dan, please send Qin Wuyang first! Jing Ke was angry, and the prince said: "Those who go today and don't rebel will also be the erector!" Today, I will mention a dagger into the unpredictable strong Qin, and the servants will stay and treat our guests with them. Now the prince is late, please resign! "And so it went.

What these two paragraphs say is that Jing Ke has two close friends in Yan Kingdom, one is Gao Yuanli, who sings the eternal swan song "Wind Xiao Xiao Xi Yi Water Cold" by the water.

At that time, Jing Ke was still waiting for another person, but that person was urged by Prince Dan to go on the road before he arrived, and many people in later generations were curious about the mysterious person Jing Ke was waiting for.

Most people believe that what he is waiting for is the swordsmanship master Gai Nie to assassinate Qin Shi Huang together.

And Wang Xu has always felt that the person Jing Ke is waiting for is likely to be this dog slaughter who did not leave his name.

However, what puzzled him was that with Jing Ke's level of choosing friends, the only two friends who had been recorded, Gao Yuanli tried his courage in order to help him avenge him, but the other friend did not have any records, which is indeed very strange, could it be that Jing Ke really met someone unladylike?

The first contact with a person who may be related to a major historical event made Wang Xu have a strange feeling, inexplicably excited and nervous, for the history of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, no matter which aspect can arouse the blood of men.

"Jing Ke." Wang Li also muttered the name.

Mo Kui saw that Wang Xu looked in a trance, and did not dare to speak again.

"Is he really the dog butcher who is friends with Jing Ke?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

Mo Kui nodded, "The plan to assassinate Qin was jointly planned by us. ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu frowned.

"The guilty minister is guilty of deceiving the emperor." Mo Kui kowtowed again, "Actually, the Lone Bamboo Country has always been in contact with the Mo family, and the Lone Bamboo Country is also a refuge for the Anti-Qin Resumption of Business Alliance to take in the Gu Lao. ”

Wang Xu narrowed his eyes quietly, so that he could explain clearly, if the Guzhu Kingdom had no other hidden strength, how could it be possible to participate in such a big event as Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.

"When Prince Yan Dan was a proton in the Qin Kingdom, he received a lot of encouragement from my Mo family, and once agreed that if he was the king of Yan, he would return the ancestral land to us." Mo Kui sighed, "That's why we will spare no effort to help Prince Dan compete for the throne, but I didn't think about it." ”

"Prince Dan, the erection of the son, for his own resentment, dragged the Yan Kingdom into the endless abyss." Wang Li sneered.

Mo Kui secretly glared at Wang Li, ignored him and continued, "The plan to assassinate Qin was drafted temporarily after Prince Dan returned to China, and Prince Dan learned about Qin's ambition and strength when he was in Qin, so he secretly visited the heroes and celebrities of the Quartet, asked for a way, and wanted to solve the difficulties of Yan Kingdom. ”

"Who are the participants?" Wang Xu frowned and asked.

"Qi Yan, Zhao Weihan, and us, used the shadows of the Six Kingdoms in the Qin State to successfully send Jing Ke into the Xianyang Palace." Murqua replied.

"No wonder there was a river of blood in Xianyang Palace that day, and half of the knights above the rank of the right chief in the city were missing, and there were countless people implicated." Wang Li muttered.

"The Mo family also lost troops in this battle and completely cut off contact with us." Mo Kui's face was like ashes.

"I don't think that with the IQ of your six countries, you shouldn't think that a successful assassination of Yingzheng can slow down the pace of the Qin State." Wang Xu frowned.

"But at least it can plunge the Qin State into chaos for a short time." Mo Kui sighed, "If the King of Qin dies, then Changping Jun can assist Gongzi Fusu to ascend the throne, and when the Chu forces join the alliance, at least they can disintegrate the great plan of the unification of the Qin State!" ”

"Wishful thinking, with my Wang family, the Qin State will not be in chaos, Changping Jun, that is, bluffing you foreigners." Wang Li scoffed.

"Okay, shut up, Changping Jun has the credit for the rebellion of the Lu family, and his power was not weak with your Wang family back then, otherwise in the battle to destroy Chu, how could Changping Jun almost kill Li Xin when he turned against the water?" Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Li Xin is talented, brave and strategic." Wang Li snorted coldly again.

"I heard that Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and I saw that with this Tu Tan's martial arts, Jing Ke's martial arts should not be weaker than him, how could the assassination attempt fail?" Wang Xu wondered.

"When Tian Guang and I were planning the assassination operation, we chose a total of four candidates." Mo Kui sighed, "Zhao Zhi Gai Nie, Han Zhi Lu Jujian, Wei Zhi Jing Ke, Yan Zhi Tu Tan." ”

"Where's Tian Guang?" Wang Xu frowned.

"Qi withdrew from the alliance halfway, and as a direct mastermind, Tian Guang could only die to make his ambition clear." Mo Kui pursed his lips and said.

Wang Xu blinked and motioned for him to continue.

"Gai Nie and Lu Jujian have superb swordsmanship, but their joy and anger are in color, only Jing Ke is happy and angry without changing color, and he is the best at concealment." Mo Kui continued.

Wang Xu remembered that there was a conversation between Tian Guang and Yan Zidan when they were selecting people in "Yan Danzi", Tian Guang said...... However, there is no one available. Xia Fu, a bloody and brave man, angry and red-faced; Song Yi, a brave man, angry and blue-faced; Wu Yang, a brave man, was angry and white-faced. The light knows Jing Ke, a brave man, angry and unchanged. .....”’

This passage is written Tian Guang's evaluation of the professionalism of the ancient assassins, in addition to the force value, resourcefulness and psychological quality are more important.

Combined with Jing Ke's performance when Jing Ke assassinated Qin later, there is no doubt that Tian Guang's vision is accurate.

"Jing Ke is indeed a gloomy and moody character." Wang Li touched his chin and muttered.

"Were you there at that time?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not here, my father said." Wang Li glanced at Mo Kui and hid half of his words.

"Jing Ke is indeed the best assassin, but Yan Zidan has a strange request." Mo Kui shook his head and sighed, his tone full of resentment.

"What requirements?" Wang Xu wondered.

"Capture the King of Qin alive." Mo Kui said hatefully, "I don't understand what he's doing this for, he thinks that he will capture the King of Qin alive and kidnap him back to Yan Kingdom, and then let him return the land of the Six Kingdoms." ”

Wang Xu blinked, and carefully recalled that there is indeed a passage in the "Historical Records" that Yan Zidan said, "Cheng has robbed the king of Qin, so that the princes invade the land, if Cao Mozhi and the Duke of Qi Huan, it will be very good; No, and therefore assassinate him. If the Qin generals are good at arming the outside and there is chaos inside, the monarchs and ministers are suspicious of each other, and the princes in the middle of the war must obey, and they will break the Qin. ’

And Jing Ke did say before he died that the assassination failed because he wanted to capture the King of Qin alive, but later generations thought that it was an excuse and mouth cannon made by Jing Ke for his lack of force.

Looking at it this way, Yan Zidan is indeed a pig teammate, and there is really no benefit to this kind of thing in terms of overall situation or interests, even if Jing Kesheng captures him and controls him and gives him a fief of the Six Kingdoms, but the strength and strength of the Qin State are still there.

Could this trick be Shi Lezhi?

Mo Kui sighed, "Because of this, Tu Tan and I thought that the success rate of this plan would not be too high, so in the end, Tu Tan persuaded Jing Ke not to go and give up this plan, but I don't know why, in the end, Jing Ke still went." ”

Wang Xu frowned, this is suspicious, it is not consistent with the bridge of Jing Ke and others in history, or is Jing Ke really waiting for another person?

"After Jing Ke's assassination of Qin failed, the King of Qin sent troops in anger, Prince Dan died, and the anti-Qin alliance also collapsed, leaving us to find a way out." Mo Kui sighed, "Tian Guang seems to have anticipated something before he died, leaving us a way back, if the Yan Kingdom really can't stay, the Qi Kingdom is our last retreat, but the clansmen don't seem to be willing to give up their homeland and flee to the Qi Kingdom." ”

"So you're following the example of Tiandan? Use me as an introduction to divert people? Wang Xu's eyes flashed with coldness.

Mo Kui didn't dare to look at Wang Xu, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
