Shi Zhao, Yecheng, South City Gate.

In the fourth year of Yonghe, at the end of August, the vigorous assassination of the prince finally came to an end. A few days ago, the crown prince Xima Zhao Sheng couldn't stand the torture in prison, and all confessed. But then Zhao Sheng committed suicide in fear of crime in his cell.

Prince Shi Xuan assassinated Qin Gong Shi Tao with the intention of rebellion, and the evidence is conclusive. Emperor Hu Shi Hu was furious on the spot, although the national teacher Buddha Tucheng pleaded for him, but Shi Hu ignored it at all. Shi Xuan himself was tortured and killed by Shi Hu (the real torture, Shi Xuan should be the most miserable prince in history.) And all his wives and concubines, and his children, abandoned the city. Shi Xuan's youngest son is Shi Hu's favorite grandson, who is only six years old. On weekdays, Shi Hu likes to play with him the most. But he still can't escape the fate of being killed.

In addition to killing Shi Xuan's entire family, Shi Xuan's henchmen were also purged, and almost no one was spared. There are also those who are usually close to Shi Xuan, and more than 300 people were killed by Shi Hu. In addition, all the senior generals of the entire Donggong guard were also killed, and the remaining Donggong soldiers were assigned to the frontier. In addition, as one of the masterminds of this rebellion, Zhao Sheng was also wiped out by the three clans.

The ultimate perverted murderer Shi Hu didn't make a move, and when he made a move, he would bleed like a river. The entire East Palace was almost completely destroyed, tens of thousands of people were killed, and more than 100,000 people were implicated.

……

It was past noon, the sun was setting in the west, and the temperature was slightly dropping. A group of Donggong guards who were implicated in Shi Xuan's case and sent to the frontier set off from Yecheng. However, this Donggong guard is a bit special, they are Shi Xuan's guards, and they are also the most elite and loyal troops under Shi Xuan. These former princes' guards, today's soldiers, carrying grain and grass and luggage, lined up in a long line and slowly marched westward.

In ancient times, especially in times of war, it was very dangerous to defend the border. Generally, it goes two or three times out of ten, and the mortality rate is particularly high. In order to prevent these former princes' guards from being disgruntled, they rebelled with weapons halfway. Shi Hu did not equip them with weapons. Not only that, Shi Hu also specially arranged a Hu cavalry escort.

"Smack!" With a bang, a bearded man took a thick whip and slapped a strong man on the back.

The strong man bared his teeth in pain, turned around and glared at the Hu man.

"Look at what, hurry up and leave for Lao Tzu!" The bearded man who was riding a horse and flicking a whip scolded angrily.

The strong man ignored him and continued to glare at the bearded man.

Being stared at by a strong man all the time, Hu Ren was a little uncomfortable. Directly hit with a whip, but the strong man seemed to have been prepared, and he flashed sensitively, but Hu Ren didn't hit it. When the angry Hu man was about to collect the whip and beat it again, the whip was grabbed by the strong man with one hand.

After seeing the whip being grabbed by the strong man, Hu was furious and desperately wanted to pull the whip back. But the strength of the strong man is very great, even if he only uses one hand, Hu Ren is not his opponent.

"Liang Li, do you want to rebel?" Obviously, the Hu people know strong men. At this time, Hu Ren was a little frightened in his heart, after all, the person in front of him was a real master, but he still held on and said angrily.

Liang Qian gently tugged, and Hu Ren couldn't pull the whip in his hand. It was easily snatched into the hands of Liang Li.

However, Liang Qian didn't do anything, but threw the whip to Hu Ren again, and then continued to walk forward.

Hu Ren was immediately overjoyed, but when Hu Ren thought that Liang Qian was soft, Liang Qian turned his head and said gloomily: "If you fight Yu again, Yu will kill your dog." ”

Hu Ren was so frightened by Liang Qian that he trembled and didn't dare to say another word. He knew Liang Li, and he knew that Liang Qian was a man who did what he said. For a while, Hu Ren was stunned.

After a long time, Hu Ren complained to himself: "What bad luck! This kind of dismount should find a warrior. I really don't know what the adults (leaders) think! Can a heroic warrior like Liang Qian be suppressed by a small person like me? ”

……

Yecheng, near the South City Gate, a pavilion.

When the team on the border marched towards the west, three middle-aged men in a pavilion in the south of Yecheng were watching the team.

Each of these three middle-aged men is very athletic, and he looks even more tiger-backed. And there is a faint smell of blood all over his body, and he is obviously a fierce general who has been in war for a long time. Especially the person in the middle, his eyes turned out to be double pupils. That's rare! The people in history who have double pupils are either emperors or saints.

The middle-aged man with heavy pupils is called Shi Min, he is Shi Hu's adopted grandson and Shi Zhao's general of the conquest. He is not very famous now, but in two or three years, he will be famous in history.

The two people behind Shi Min are his henchmen. Named Dong Yan, Zhang Wen. Both are fierce generals in the army.

"If these warriors can be used for something, why worry about great things!" Looking at the soldiers who were gradually walking away, Shi Min felt a little pity, and said with a sigh.

"Lord, this is impossible. These people are Shi Xuan's personal guards and are loyal to Shi Xuan. And they all have a deep grudge against Shi Hu. It was impossible for Shi Hu to keep them in Jizhou. Zhang Wen shook his head and said.

"Strange to say, these people are all Shi Xuan's diehards. With Shi Hu's brutal personality, he didn't kill them all! Dong Yan touched his head and asked with some curiosity.

"Because many of these people are the sons and nephews of the generals who led the troops in the DPRK and China. As long as Shi Hu is not stupid, he will not kill them all! Guarding the border is already the most severe punishment for them!" Zhang Wen stroked his long thick beard and analyzed.

"I see! Do you think Shi Hu has been modified? Dong Yan suddenly realized.

"If there is no special reason, our heavenly king generally does not spit out bones." Zhang Wen sneered with a smile on his face.

"Zihui (Zhang Wen's character), Suhe (Dong Yan's character) How are things going." Just as Zhang Wen and Dong Yan took turns taunting Shi Hu, Shi Min, who was standing in front of them, asked expressionlessly.

"Back to the Lord, the 10,000 cavalry you let the last general secretly train has been completed. Just wait for your command, you can call it at any time. Dong Yan reported solemnly.

Shi Min nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Zhang Wen on the side with an expressionless face, "Zihui, where are you?" ”

"Back to the lord, the big and small heroes of Zhao Di are willing to support us and others. Many powerful people have secretly sent their clansmen to join us. Zhang Wen replied with a happy face.

After hearing Zhang Wen's report, Shi Min's expressionless face finally showed a smile. Even Dong Yan on the side was very happy.

These clansmen sent by Zhao Dihao are not ordinary villagers. Most of them are physically fit and have some training. Many of them are skilled in bows and horses, and they have very strong combat power. And a considerable number of people will bring their own armor and weapons, and they are well-equipped. They are also known to outsiders as good families. They are the best source of soldiers for the Zhao people (Han Chinese). With a little training, you can become an elite. At the same time, they are also the best candidates for Shi Min to form armor and equipment to ride.

Due to Shi Hu's tyranny, he was unpopular in Zhaodi, and Zhaodi was powerful and centrifuged. And these good families are also unwilling to fight for Shihu, and most of them are idle at home. After Zhang Wen's secret contact, Zhao Dihao was more willing to support Shi Min, so these good families were all cheap Shi Min.

"What about the Great Clans?" Shi Min, who was in a good mood, continued to ask.

"The Cui family is willing to provide grain and grass, the Li family is willing to provide armor, and the Lu family is willing to provide war horses. ......," Zhang Wen replied.

After listening to Zhang Wen's report, Shi Min directly interrupted Zhang Wen's report, and asked with some anger: "Are those families unwilling to provide parts?" ”

Zhang Wen nodded slightly.

Shi Min was very angry, and said with some excitement: "When is this coming, these great clans still want to protect themselves!" Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. The Hu people are greedy and ambitious. Sooner or later, these great worlds will pay the price for their short-sightedness. ”

Seeing that their lord was so angry, Zhang Wen and Dong Yan hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them. Of course, there will also be a few feet of these great clans in the middle.

After a while, Shi Min's anger subsided slightly. said to Zhang Dong and the others: "Forget it, anyway, I didn't expect these great clans to work hard with a certain one." If you want to achieve great things, you have to wait for me in the end!"

"The Lord sees it!" Zhang Dong and the two said in unison.

"Lord, Shi Xuan is dead. The crown prince's position is empty. The rest of Shi Hu's sons are all eyeing each other. Who should we support? Zhang Wen asked.

"It's the same as before, whoever gives more will support whom?" Shi Min said casually.

"Shi Hu is already seriously ill, and it is only a few days. In fact, the position of crown prince is the same for everyone. As soon as Shi Hu dies, the sons will definitely kill each other, and Shi Zhao will be chaotic. At that time, it will be the opportunity I have been waiting for. But now that Shi Hu is still alive, Hu Ren is powerful, you must be careful when you act, and you must not show your feet. Shi Min instructed.

"No!" Zhang Dong and the others replied firmly.

The two of them also knew that if Shi Hu didn't die, Shi Zhao wouldn't be messy. Once discovered by Shi Hu at this time, they had absolutely no hope of winning. After all, compared to the Hu people, their current military strength is too weak.

The sun was setting, and the troops on the border had disappeared. Shi Min looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, two words came out of Shi Min's mouth: Li Nong.
