Chapter 119: Death and Resurrection
"Send out all the soldiers and guards in the mansion, attack the building, kill the Qin envoys, and cut off the friends of Qi and Qin, what is it?"
When Lu Jujian took the case and put forward this idea, which was quite similar to Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't be a tiger", Mingyue strengthened her courage, but before she could express her position, the two of them said in unison: "This matter must not be!" ”
The two of them, but Shu Qi and Zhao Kuo, they looked at each other in some surprise, and then clenched their fists at the same time, begging Mingyue not to do this......
Lu Jujian has a general relationship with Zhao Kuo, and it is not surprising to see his opposition, but Shu Qi also came to stop him, which made him quite puzzled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After their ten rangers followed Chang'anjun, they were sorted according to the level of martial arts, and Lu Jujian, who had the most refined swordsmanship and the most courage, became the leader, but even if it was Lu Jujian, under Shu Qi's sword, he would be subdued by him if he couldn't pass ten moves.
The brave and ruthless Lilu Ranger Kung Fu, when he met the disciples taught by the swordsman Sima Kuaichen, he didn't have the upper hand at all.
What rangers admire most in his life is a capable person, after being defeated by Shu Qi in turns, Lu Jujian and others also admired this weak-crowned young man. Although he is young, he has superb martial arts, and he has inherited the steady and cautious nature of his father Touching the Dragon, and it is the most reassuring to have him by Chang'anjun's side.
In his spare time, Lu Jujian would also ask Shu Qi for swordsmanship, Shu Qi knew everything, and the relationship between the two was very good.
But now that Shu Qi spoke out against his plan, Lu Jujian was suddenly unhappy and asked loudly: "Heiyi, are you scared?" ”
"I'm not afraid."
Shu Qi raised his head and looked at Lu Jujian's big eyes like a cowbell: "If Gongzi orders me to kill the Qin envoy, I will go first with a sword and never look back!" ”
"But there are some things I must say ahead!"
Shu Qi looked at Mingyue and got his consent, and then said: "With my father's shadow, I luckily became a black-clothed guard, and was selected by the Queen Mother to protect Yu Gongzi's side." Before leaving Handan, my father once told me that the most important thing in this Qi is to protect Chang'anjun, where the son is, where my sword will be, if there is an arrow, I should block it for the son! ”
He knelt down on one knee and said sincerely: "As a black cloth, there is nothing more important than the safety of the childe. Now although the king of Qi has put his son under house arrest in the mansion, he has never neglected his food and clothing, and it is unlikely that he will harm his son. ”
"But if the private family in Gongzifa's mansion attacks the pavilion and kills the Qin envoy, this is a violation of the laws of the Qi State. The Qi people had to strictly control even the swords we held and the horses we brought, not to mention openly marching in Linzi City? When the time came, the king of Qi was furious and sent troops to suppress it, but the spears and arrows had no eyes, and the son was in danger. This plan will put the son in danger, and it is nothing if our grass mustard dies, but how can the body of the child's daughter be cut off here? ”
said sincerely, as the duty of the black cloth, he regarded Mingyue's safety as far more than the so-called mission.
Mingyue understood Shu Qi's choice, and looked at Zhao Kuo, who had been thinking about it with his head down, and was still drawing a picture with wine on the table: "Bracket, you also think this strategy is not feasible, why is it?" ”
"I'm not cowardly." Zhao Kuo pointed to the picture he drew on the desk and said: "But from the perspective of using soldiers, this plan has nine deaths and no life!" ”
……
Through Li Tan's narration, which often walks around, Zhao Kuo can draw seven or seven or eight around the Proton Mansion and even the way to the building.
"Sun Tzu said, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle. ”
"First of all, let's talk about myself, there are one hundred soldiers in the Proton Mansion, and the training day and night can be called elite soldiers, plus ten rangers, brave and not afraid of death. But when we entered the city, the Qi people collected most of the halberds, spears, bows and crossbows and war horses, and only half of us had short swords to use, and the rest could only use agricultural tools and wooden sticks as weapons. ”
"On the other side, there are three or four hundred Qi soldiers outside the Proton Mansion, equipped with strong bows and crossbows, guarding the front and back of the mansion respectively, it is impossible to sneak out, even if you break through one door by surprise and kill it, at least more than ten people will be lost."
"To get out of the Proton Mansion, you have to walk another one and a half miles to reach the guest house next to the Qi Palace. Along the way, in every street and alley, there are guards of the five capitals of Qi who patrol the night to check the sentry, once someone is found to be holding a sword to violate the curfew, Qi people light a fire and shout as a signal, within a moment, there will be hundreds of soldiers to arrest us. ”
"Even if we break the night patrol, we will inevitably lose most of it, and outside the pavilion, there are still palace guards sent by the King of Qi to guard it, and the number is no less than five hundred. By this time, we had already alarmed the whole city, and the king of Qi had sent thousands of palace guards, soldiers of the five capitals, and skilled fighters to kill him, even if the soldiers and rangers could defeat ten with one, it would be difficult to resist ......"
Therefore, in Zhao Kuo's view, this "anti-guest-oriented" strategy can also be imagined by Lu Jujian, a reckless man who lacks a string in his head.
He concluded: "Even if all of them are killed in battle, we may not be able to rush into the pavilion and capture the Qin envoy, and by then, he may have already received the news and fled to the palace of Qi for refuge!" At that time, although the Qi State had the rebellion of Tian Jia to rob the king, but that Tian Jia had military power, and Meng Weijun secretly supported it, but we were guests from a foreign country, unfamiliar with geography, and there was no one to marry, and there was no opportunity to spare. In my opinion, this is no different than handing the blade to the other person and asking them to kill themselves! ”
Zhao Kuo glared at Lu Jujian fiercely as he spoke, blaming him for acting recklessly.
Lu Jujian also sobered up a lot at this time, sweating profusely, yes, their death is a small matter, if the sensitive King of Qi thinks that this is the prelude to the Zhao State's war against Qi, the Zhao people should cooperate with the outside and want to harm him, then what should be done? Chang'anjun must not be killed by him.
He hurriedly bowed down to confess, but Mingyue didn't think it was wrong, let him get up, and asked Zhao Kuo and Shu Qi to come over, patted them on the shoulder and said:
"Ju Jian is anxious for a while, Yu Yong is a person who dares to die. Shu Qi is dedicated to his duties, puts my safety first, and is a loyal person. Standing in the perspective of using troops, he analyzes the enemy and the enemy, and judges whether it is feasible or not...... The three of you are my right-hand men in the Qi Kingdom, and at this very moment, you must not doubt and blame each other! ”
The three of them agreed, and then they got back together.
Lu Jujian was valued by Mingyue, and put him side by side with Zhao Kuo and Shu Qi, and while he was moved in his heart, he also had the heart to serve death, so he asked for his life: "Since it is not easy to succeed in sending troops to attack, and it will affect the son, then let me go alone, sneak into the pavilion, and assassinate the Qin envoy!" ”
He secretly thought that if he didn't succeed, he would die, and he would be disfigured before he died, and he would never implicate his son!
Mingyue shook her head: "Don't be impatient, although our situation is dangerous, things are far from the point where the sword soldiers see blood...... Besides, even if he killed the Qin envoy by luck, it would not necessarily be able to damage the relationship between Qin and Qi. ”
……
It has been a few months since she came to the Qi country, and in addition to traveling with the princes of Jixia, Mingyue also met with the politicians of the Qi country one by one and got a rough understanding of them.
King Qi, Queen Jun, Anping Jun Tiandan, Qi Xiang Wang Sun Jia, and Doctor Diao Bo, no one is stupid here, if the Qin envoy is suddenly assassinated, how can he not guess who did it?
Ban Dingyuan killed the Xiongnu envoys and could swagger and threaten the king of Shanshan, because the gap between Shanshan and the Han Dynasty was too great. Although the Zhao State is stronger than the Qi State now, it is far from the extent that the Han Dynasty in later generations absolutely suppressed the small countries in the Western Regions.
When the conspiracy is revealed, it will not be a matter of house arrest, King Qi is already very jealous of him, just ask, who would like a guest who draws a knife in his own home? I don't care about offending Zhao Guo, I'm afraid I will directly put him in the prisoner car and send him to Qin State as a gift of reparation......
As for the Qin State, it is not so easy to count on killing an envoy to anger them, so that the Qin State thinks that Qi wants to destroy Qin, and thus hates the Qi State hysterically.
Because Qin Xiang Fan Ju is the most scheming person in the world, he can endure for several months without taking revenge after becoming Qin Xiang, and as soon as he makes a move, he forces Wei Qi to flee in embarrassment, throwing stones to ask for directions, so that the prestige of Qin Xiang of Qin State spreads all over the world, how can he lose his mind because of the death of an envoy?
And Qin Wangji, the old Qin King who has been a monarch for forty-two years, in those rumors, Mingyue's impression of him is two words......
Cold!
Mingyue heard of one thing, after the battle of Yan, because of the initial defeat of the Qin State at Zhao, the international situation was unfavorable, and the King of Qin sent his crown prince to Daliang as a hostage in exchange for the alliance of Qin and Wei in order to win over the Wei State.
However, two years ago, that is, the fortieth year of Qin Wangji, the prince of Qin died of illness in Daliang, and Wei Guocheng sent the prince's body back in fear and buried him in Zhiyang.
Public opinion in Qin was noisy, thinking that this was because Wei was not taking care of it, and the sad Empress Dowager Mi after the death of the eldest grandson was also furious, she made a decision, Qin immediately severed relations with Wei, Qin Wangji forty-one summer, Qin soldiers went east, in the name of avenging the prince, captured Xingqiu in Hanoi of Wei.
At this time, Qi and Chu coveted the Song land occupied by Wei and the danger of Kang's father, so they united to attack Wei, wanting to seize that territory when Wei was beaten by Qin.
The king of Wei saw that there was a fire in the east and west, and in a panic, he sent people to Qin to sue for peace, so that there was an endless stream of ministers.
At that time, Qin Wangji had already overthrown Wei Ran, moved the Empress Dowager to Ganquan Palace, and finally became a king with great power.
In the face of Wei's "murderous enemy", he unexpectedly adopted a different strategy from Empress Dowager Mi and Wei Ran. Not only promised Wei to sue for peace and claim vassalage, but also made a gesture of support for Wei, Qi and Chu hurriedly withdrew their troops, and in the next two years, Wei became Qin's watchdog east of Hangu Pass, and became a firm supporter of Lian Heng......
"Qin Wangji can let go of the hatred of losing his son, and put the interests of the Qin State first, how can he be angry with Qi because of the death of a mere envoy?"
Killing Qin's envoy forced Qi Qin to turn against him, the probability of success was too low, and Mingyue didn't dare to take such a big risk.
With the ruthlessness of King Qin and the means of Fan Ju, the so-called envoys are just chess pieces for them to lay out the world, what is the big deal if one or two die? Replace it casually, and Qin's strategy of long-distance and close-range attack remains the same. Mingyue acted rashly, but Fan Ju would use his means to label Zhao Guo as an unrighteous one, and accelerate the Qi-Qin Alliance, but when the time came, he would cause trouble for himself and Zhao Guo......
"How's that to be?" was analyzed by him like this, Zhao Kuo, Shu Qi, Lu Jujian and others, who were not known for their resourcefulness, fell into a helplessness again.
Mingyue paced in the small courtyard where they were plotting things, his face was cloudy, and since the envoy of the Qin State arrived in Linzi, he had fallen into an extremely unfavorable situation, with nine deaths and no life......
Wait, Dead Land?
Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she blurted out: "Since assassinating the Qin envoy can't make Qi Qin turn against him, what if he does the opposite?" ”
The cronies were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know why: "What does the son mean by this?" ”
Mingyue didn't answer, but raised her head, looked at the full moon above her head, which was almost completely covered by dark clouds, as if she saw herself, and said with a smile:
"I want to put myself to death and then live!"
