Chapter 32 The clouds are treacherous
"The rest of the journey is the most dangerous." Wei Ran had a straight face, and said to Bai Qi and another young man beside him, "I hope that all the monarchs can put the Qin State first and sacrifice their lives to accompany them." ”
"Swear to the death to protect the safety of the childe." Bai Qi and the young man shouted in a low voice. The two of them, who have experienced various palace games, naturally know that the closer they are to Xianyang, the more important Gongziji's safety will become, and no one dares to neglect it.
"In order to allow the son to arrive in Xianyang smoothly, there is a plan that may be implemented, but there are many dangers, so I will invite the two of you to discuss."
At this moment, the team led by Wei Ran rarely did not arrive at the post house to rest, but stayed on a barren slope on this dark and windy night. Although the soldiers were suspicious, these people were all Wei Ran's henchmen, and they had always had strict military discipline, so they didn't ask too much.
"Will the plan be released?"
Wei Ran looked around and said in a low voice: "The soldiers are divided into two roads, one way to fight with open fire, straight to Xianyang, all the way day and night, from the small road. ”
Bai Qi and the young man glanced at each other, and immediately had a plan in their hearts. Although this open fire is on the main road, because the line is too long, it is obviously not fast, and it will be more or less harmed by the traitors, and this person who is out of the day and night, although the road is rugged and difficult, but because of the light car, he will quickly return to Xianyang, and there is a lot less constraints.
"This Mingli all the way, naturally led by a certain and Bai Qi, only in this way can others believe that Gongzi is still in the team. And all the way," Wei Ran turned his head to look at the young man, and said in a firm tone, "I can only ask Gongzi." ”
"Rong was able to escape from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty this time and defect to his sister, so he naturally wanted to protect his son. Otherwise, the son will die, and Rong will have no meaning in living, so he will naturally have to serve the death force, and the brother can rest assured. ”
Wei Ran nodded, he could only believe him at this time, no matter what, he and Gongzi Ji were also uncles and nephews, the former prince of Chu State, because of the crime of N Eastern Zhou's Mi Rong!
"In that case, make arrangements tonight." Wei Ran said, "No matter who arrives in Xianyang first, the first place to go is naturally to meet the prime minister and place Gongziji in the camp, and how to arrange it next depends on the prime minister." "The prime minister here naturally refers to the disease.
Qi Rong nodded, and wrote it down in his heart, and then saw Wei Ran take out a token and hand it to Qi Rong, telling him to take care. Qi Rong carefully put it away, and under the arrangement of Wei Ran and others, he divided a few fast horses, and discussed the plan with Gongzi Ji before letting Qi Rong and the others leave first.
Looking at the figure of Yingji and the others galloping away under the moonlit night, a trace of exhaustion rose in Wei Ran's heart. It's a risky move, but it has to be done.
"General"
"You and my brother, don't be so angry." Wei Ran interrupted Bai Qi's words.
Although Bai Qi is not sensitive to politics, he also knows that the events of this night have completely tied him and Gongziji's future together, either Gongziji will die and his future will be ruined, or he will wait for Gongziji to inherit the throne, and he will also have a bright future. Thinking of this, Bai Qi actually had a trace of disgust.
"Yes." Bai Qi didn't bother Wei Ran's mind, "Is my brother a little filtered, at this moment, he has arrived at Hangu Pass, even if those people are bold, they don't dare to make a mistake, right?" ”
Wei Ran shook his head, "No matter what, don't underestimate the ambitions of those people. I don't know if it's to myself or to the dialogue: "In a person's life, no matter how heroic he is, the only thing he admires is power." ”
Bai Qi thoughtfully. I'm afraid that neither of them would have thought that whether it was for Wei Ran or Bai Qi, if he said it today, he would say it every day.
Meng Ben was depressed.
It is said that after he escaped from the Yiyang camp that day, he finally found the military waiting place set up by Zhao Guo in South Korea. was thinking about finding an opportunity to return to Handan, but he never thought that a Zhao Yong warrant was handed over to him.
After the reform of the military system, Zhao Yong transferred the military Hou subordinate to Sima to the direct subordinate to the White Tiger Palace, and the functions were also changed from a military law agency to the military intelligence agency of Zhao State, responsible for external military intelligence collection, and map drawing work, which was directly responsible for Yu Shi Leyi, and did not need to obey other officials. The Chinese military Hou and the black-clothed army in the royal city constitute the two foreign and domestic intelligence agencies set up by Zhao Yong.
Since the formation of the Central Army, in accordance with Zhao Yong's requirements, Le Yi has mainly mapped in the early stage, and slowly extended and developed his own power in various places. Even in individual royal cities, such as Daliang and Linzi, there will be two places. Of course, neither of these two places knows the details of the other, and the information is also reported to each other. This greatly enhances the accuracy and reliability of intelligence sources. It can be said that at least in other countries, when the stragglers were still used as the main source of intelligence, Zhao had already established a more complete foreign intelligence system far beyond the other six countries.
Meng Ben stayed here for two or three days, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to interfere with the actions of the Military Waiting Office, but this time he has a special mission, and Zhao Yong personally gave him a seal that he can mobilize the Xinzheng Military Waiting Office for his own use. And he didn't leave home, and he knew almost all the movements that happened in Qin and Han after he left, and he could only sigh that Le Yi was indeed a capable person.
At the same time, Zhao Yong's secret order was also conveyed through the unique channels of the Military Waiting Office. ordered him to rush to Xianyang again to provoke civil strife between Gongzi Zhuang, Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Ji, and by the way, set up Zhao's military waiting place in Qin.
The former is more difficult than the latter. He first secretly went to Xianyang, met with Gongzi Zhuang, and told him the news that King Qin had secretly made Gongzi Zhuang the king of Qin, but Gan Mao and Zhu Lijian were ready to establish Gongzi Ji as king, won his trust, and played a bitter trick as Gongzi Zhuang's intervener, and defected to Gongzi Fu to provoke a fight between the two sides.
Seeing that things are going very smoothly, even if Gongziji can return to Xianyang smoothly, there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the Qin State Office. But at this time, Gongzi Fu brought a bad news.
"The Queen Mother refused a certain request." Gongzi Fu had a gloomy face and whispered to Meng Ben, "What she cares about is still her eldest son." Between the tones, there was some resentment.
Meng Ben looked at him with a gloomy face, no matter what, he couldn't coincide with the personable Gongzi Fu before. The throne is really not a good thing.
"But you don't have to worry." Gongzi Fu looked at Meng Ben's uncertain face, thinking that he might be going back, so he comforted him and said: "Some things, a certain has been arranged, as long as we occupy the general trend, no one can change the situation." His tone tightened, "Including my brother who is about to return." ”
"Childe means business as usual?" Meng Ben said cautiously.
"Hmm." Gongzi Fu said, "The plan is as usual." Once Gongzi Zhuang and the others intercepted and killed my brother halfway, and when they came back, they would ambush the killer at the Xianyang City Gate and capture this fang alive! ”
"Hehe, although I think that the heirs of the first prince are by no means prodigals, but Gongzi Fu is this person, and he still looks away."
Gongzi Zhuang put the bamboo slips sent by Meng Ben on several cases, smiling, but with murderous intent between his words. Obviously, Gongzi Fu dared to make trouble under his nose, which was very unhappy.
"This son seems to be respectful, but in fact, his ambition is not to the end, and it is not because he has the support of Mizi." Gongzi looked at Gongzi Zhuang flatteringly, "This time I showed a fierce appearance, and I just planned to let him die without a place to be buried." ”
Gongzi Zhuang nodded, "This is also a concern." ”
"It's just that there is still one person whose attitude has not yet been clarified, I'm afraid"
"You mean it." Gongzi Zhuang looked at Gongzi Yong, who nodded, "This person is sitting in the camp, holding heavy soldiers, but he is not mourning. On the one hand, he arranged for someone to contact Gongziji, and on the other hand, he didn't tell Mi Zichen the truth. There seems to be a bit of a treachery in this. ”
Gongzi Zhuang groaned for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed." He is known as a think tank, and what he does must have a deep meaning. It seems that he has the same heart as Yingji, but he is wary of Mizi, and it is difficult to predict what he has in mind. Could it be that it is not pleasing to the eye. ”
If so, it seems to be a good help. With this strong support, there will be no future trouble. ”
Gongzizhuang thought for a while and said, "In that case, tomorrow morning, I will definitely visit again." ”
"I'm afraid I still won't be able to see the deity." Gongzi Yong said worriedly that this kind of depression that cannot be controlled by victory and defeat is really uncomfortable. What's more, the other party is still the key to the victory or defeat of this battle for succession.
"If you can't see the deity, then it doesn't matter." Gongzi Zhuang's words were cold, "A certain person has a large army, and he has cut off the big and small roads for Gongzi Ji to return to the city, as long as there is no Gongzi Ji, no matter how smart he is, he can't set off any storms." ”
All of a sudden, the entire Xianyang City was covered in restlessness, and even ordinary people could feel the oppressive atmosphere floating in the air. Many people don't know what happened, but it's time to come, and it won't take too long.
