At this moment in the battle, it is no longer a pure battle, but a kind of torture from the flesh ~ body to the spirit; However, this kind of torture is still endless, the siege war that stops from time to time makes the Shu army tired of running for its life, not to mention, the flying lanterns floating from the air every other day are no longer a beautiful and moving scene, and it has gradually evolved into the last straw that makes the Shu army collapse, and it is the intellectuals in the Shu army who pick up this straw and press on the back of the camel of Shu

Intellectuals have always been the most reactionary~, they see things more clearly than ordinary people, their thoughts are more far-reaching, sensitive, and prone to rebellion, especially the intellectuals of this era, that is, the scholar class, can advocate 'freedom of speech' more than two thousand years later, this great persistence has achieved this era of a hundred schools of thought, and may also bring a regime into the abyss at any time. In particular, one of the most terrible points is that once these intellectuals have identified their 'truth', even if they throw their heads and spill blood, they will raise their arms, the more you threaten death, the more energetic he will scream, Shi Zhong's reaction can not be described as unpleasant, and the military orders established can not be described as strict, but the content of the Qin State paper book is still like a plague secretly sweeping through the army, those military Chinese pens, the accounts of the military caravans, and the soldiers from the declining aristocracy not only secretly spread these anti-Shu remarks, but also explain them in a good way when they encounter doubts, Why did the once weak Qin become a strong neighbor? Why does Bai Zi's policy of governing the people through the world focus on the benefits of 'money and grain' and change it with the economy? The Qin State is now strong, but they did not attack Wei and Korea, but looked to the West and controlled the huge empire of Persia in one fell swoop, why is this? Does war make sense now? Just because the king wants to fight with Zhou Tianzi. A messenger was sent to send the stinking rice fields. As a result, he was attacked by Chu and then attacked by Qin. Is it a just war to fall into the war of the people in a hurry? Bai Zi said it too well, an unjust war is immoral

In the eyes of such a group of intellectuals who are not afraid of life and death and insist on speaking ~ talking about freedom ~ from the ground, any enemy and country can actually be thrown aside, and what they pursue is the greatest truth and the greatest 'Tao' in the world, and in the process of this 'preaching', all of them have a tendency to transform into the leading party. In this great era of contention, there are also schools in Shuzhong, which is isolated from China. It's just that the ancient Shu kingdom that stood in the era of the emperor has long since ceased to exist, and the ancient Shu civilization has gradually been assimilated by the Chinese civilization, and today's Shu school is nothing more than influenced by Confucianism, Mo, Taoism and other schools, and the Mo family is also okay, most of these scholars in Shu are influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, and the Confucian disciples have long wanted to go to the Fengming Academy with Yan Zong and Mencius in charge, and they originally had a great impression of Bai Dong, the dean; Taoism pays attention to the rule of inaction, nothing is done, nothing is indispensable, and what means of military hegemony is simply despised by Taoists. Bai Dong's use of economic law as a means to connect the powerful Chinese countries is somewhat in line with the Taoist way, which naturally makes them feel a lot. I only feel that if the Qin State enters Shuzhong, as long as there is this white son, it may not be a bad thing for the Shu State.

Shi Zhong has killed a lot of people recently, and the strange thing is that the more people kill, the more 'rumors' will spread; the sword can't stop the mouths of those who read, he actually understands this truth very well, but he is the general of Xiyu, and the world is favored by the king, what else can he do at this time besides killing people? The largest massacre was yesterday, on the fourteenth day of the Qin army's siege of the city, Shi Zhong killed one hundred and thirty-one people, and the blood of his own people soaked a hundred feet under his feet! After the execution was completed, Shi Zhong walked towards his big tent with heavy steps, and the soldiers of the Shu army who were silent dared to raise their heads, but most of the eyes of those pairs contained deep dissatisfaction and even hatred.

This evening mountain is the last quarter of the moon, the crescent moon shrunk into a line, there is not much light in the first place, dense dark clouds cover the sky, the sky full of stars is also covered clean, although not to reach out and not see the five fingers, separated by ten feet but can not see any scenery, sometimes you can hear the sound of rustling water nearby, that is a soldier out of the military tent to pee, everyone wants to be lazy on a cold day, anyway, this kind of sky is not afraid of being seen by the military judge.

Outside the barracks, a little light was quietly lit, and a dozen faces flashed and disappeared into the night. A hoarse voice said: "General Sun's secret words were left in the flying lantern during the day, and the launch will be tonight, so everyone should have no objections, right?" ”

"Where did the head of Shang say it, and at this juncture, who will have any objections? The dozen or so masters here are all our own children, all of them are first-class assassins, and none of them will retreat from the battle, please give the order! ”

"Well said!" The hoarse voice said: "I only ask one last time, although you and I are doing this in the future, it is inevitable that we will become a traitor in the eyes of many Shu people, and we must bear a lot of infamy. ”

"Where did the merchant head come from? You need to know that we were still some obscure small merchants in Shu five years ago, naturally the Bai family trading company entered the new capital, and secretly I don't know how much benefit it gave us, so that our trading company became a huge wealth in Shu in one fell swoop, everyone knows that this is Bai Zi to ambush the dark chess, but so what? The Bai family trading company opened a trading base and benefited the Shu country, which is really bringing infinite benefits to the Shu people, but it is much stronger than the king who only thinks about provoking Zhou Tianzi and bringing military disasters and blood disasters to the Shu country. Hey, how is Zhou Guo? How is the state of Qin? What about Shu? Today, we are only for the people of Shuzhong and the peace of all generations, even if we are misunderstood and scolded, what is it? ”

"Exactly, we sneaked into this Xiyu City with the caravan for the sake of Bai Zi's plan, just for today's success, how could we have been shaken in our hearts? Now the heart of the army in the city is floating, just wait for the fire to start, the defenders will be chaotic, we are waiting for the meritorious cause to be made today, please give the order quickly, I can't wait! ”

The hoarse voice smiled: "That's good, as soon as the fourth watch arrives, we will do it, and the monarchs will light the grain and grass in the city according to the previous allocation, and when the fire is together, they will mix into the chaotic army and shout in unison that the Qin army has entered the city, so that the city will be chaotic, and the army of General Qin Guosun lurking outside the city can break the city in one fell swoop." As soon as this Xiyu City is broken, the Qin army will only need a few days to capture Nanzheng, and the big thing will be done! ”

"No!"

It may be difficult for more than a dozen first-class assassins to do anything in the Japanese army formation, but in this dark and starless night, it is definitely a terrifying force, with a dumb voice order, like a dozen poisonous snakes that slipped into the grass, quietly slid towards the Shu army's heavy grain and grass camp, and the weapons painted with black paint waved in the night, quietly harvesting innocent lives, for their own ' The more people they killed, the more they felt that they were saving the Shu country and the Shu people.

A dozen points of light suddenly appeared in the dark Shu City, at first it was a little weak, but when Shi Zhong, who woke up, drove the Shu army to carry water to put out the fire, more than a dozen pillars of fire suddenly rose, violent and even a little sudden, as if Shi Zhong never dreamed that his biggest threat was not from outside the city, but from inside the city.

At the same time as the fire in the city broke out, a large piece of land under the city of Xiyu was suddenly lifted, and a full three thousand Qin army warriors with light armor and fast swords jumped out from under the ground, they did not carry heavy and inconvenient siege weapons such as ladders, but untied the long rope from their waists, threw them into circles above their heads, and then threw them towards the city, 'Ding Ding Ding Ding' Countless strange iron claws grabbed on the female wall, and the Qin soldiers pulled the rope with their hands, and then stepped on the rope of the city wall. And the sound of the action of the 3,000 army was completely drowned out in the huge noise of Xiyu City, and the Shu army police post did not even notice it.

"The teacher and the white son are so calculating"

Now Qin Guan finally understood why Sun Bin asked him to attack Shu City for fifteen consecutive days, when did these three thousand troops dig into the earth from the rear and hide under Shu City, even he doesn't know, let alone the Shu people who have been driven crazy by the brutal siege battles and flying lanterns these days? It's just that until now, he hasn't figured out when Shu Chengzhong was mixed into the fine work of the Qin State.

"Xiyu Shu City can be broken, pass on my general order, after entering the city, quit killing and silver, non-resistors can be captured, Qin State is not short of food, what you want is the last criterion and morality on the battlefield. You go and get some troops."

Sun Bin didn't take a second look at the blazing Shu City, turned around and walked towards his big tent, such a well-arranged victory was really nothing to celebrate. (To be continued......)
