Chapter 166: Before the Decisive Battle
Meng Tian's handsome tent, at this time, there are five steps and one sentry around, ten steps and one post, and there are more personal soldiers to lead Meng Yue to personally lead the troops to guard the left and right, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach the big tent.
However, what is more prominent is the emperor's carriage that went out of the camp before, and now it is parked empty next to the tent, fortunately it is dark at this time, and a few soldiers on duty have come out, and most of the others are asleep, and no one cares.
In the handsome tent, only Bai Ying and Meng Tian were there, and of course there was a corpse, lying on the bed behind the screen inside, the corpse of Qin II Fusu!
It's just that there is a gap between the skull and the body, which was sewn in a hurry.
Bai Ying opened his mouth at this time: "Great Marshal, Lord Hou's soldiers and horses are about to arrive, before the news of His Majesty's misfortune, there must be no leakage, otherwise it will cause panic, and it will inevitably give Liu Bang and Xiang Yu an opportunity to take advantage of." ”
"Well, this marshal knows that he has already sent Meng Kui down to deal with it personally."
Meng Tian's face was complicated at this time, with anger, sadness, anxiety, and of course, doubts.
When he heard the news and arrived with his troops, he happened to see Bai Ying stabbing Zhao Miao to death, and there were corpses everywhere in the entire forest, apparently none of the assassins had escaped.
However, it was precisely because of this that Meng Tian was a little puzzled, it was said that such a ferocious attack, Bai Ying should have planned it in advance, or it was said that he had been prepared in advance.
So since he was prepared, why did Fusu die?
Meng Tian knew Bai Ying, strictly speaking, Meng Tian was instructed by Bai Qi in the art of war and martial arts when he was young, so he had some kindness, and he also had an understanding of Bai Ying's skills, if Bai Ying made a move in advance, how could the emperor be easily cut off his head?
Just when Meng Tian was pondering, the tall Meng Kui came in, Meng Tian's two sons, one Meng Wu is good at using soldiers, the other Meng Kui is strong in martial arts and meticulous in handling affairs, Meng Wu stayed in Jingjing Pass, Meng Kui has been by Meng Tian's side, and Meng Yue is known as the second general of Meng Tian's side.
"Father, it has been dealt with, all the people involved have given a gag order, and the traces along the way have been eliminated, and I have also spread the news that Your Majesty is worried about his safety and will stay in the military camp for two days, and the accompanying officials of Yongqiu will receive it overnight."
"It's good, you go down, pay attention to all movements at any time, and don't miss anything." Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Meng Kui clenched his fists in agreement, and then turned and walked out of the tent.
In fact, when Meng Tian led the troops to rescue, he was surrounded by pro-soldiers, and his loyalty was no problem, and he had no chance to spread the news, and when he returned to the camp, because there was a carriage, it was impossible for the sentry to know the real situation.
As for the people under the command of Bai Ying, it is even more impossible, and even for the sake of safety, Mu Ning, who came later, has already gathered all the people in the know, and will not give any chance of leaking the news at all.
However, Bai Ying was a little worried: "Great Shuai, if Your Majesty doesn't show up for a long time, I'm afraid Liu Bang and Xiang Yu will still be suspicious, even if they don't have evidence, once the rumors spread, it will inevitably endanger the form of Sanchuan County." ”
As the intelligence leader of Zhao Jun, although Bai Ying did not directly participate in Zhao Jun's military and political affairs, he was a direct implementer of many major events, so he was very sensitive to some things.
Meng Tian nodded and said, "Well, you go back to the Hou Ye first, and tell him that before the soldiers arrive, the commander will not let a single soldier enter the pass." ”
"Yes." After Bai Ying glanced at Meng Tian, he retreated.
Meng Tian looked at the back of the white shadow, but the shadow of Zhao Jun appeared in his eyes again, is today's incident a coincidence, or is it inevitable?
Looking back and turning the screen and looking at Fusu's corpse, Meng Tian shook his head, this matter can only be a coincidence, everything for the sake of the empire, the Qin Dynasty is crumbling and needs an Optimus Prime.
"Fusu, if you had some tools at the beginning, how could you have today's situation, how could he take this step, you forced him, and you also forced yourself to death."
In Xiang Yu's barracks, Liu Bang was asking Xiang Yu about the situation of Zhao Fu's brothers and sisters, Zhao Fu and Zhao Miao had been gone for three or four days in a row, but no news came.
At the beginning, because of the particularity of the assassination of Fusu, he acted alone from the beginning of the operation and cut off contact with them, but there has been no movement for a few days, and Liu Bang has a trace of suspicion.
Xiang Yu groaned: "It is said that the emperor is now hiding in the Mengtian camp, could it be that the news has leaked?" So they haven't found a chance yet? ”
"My people said that the general of the Black Ice Platform was aware of it before." Liu Bang said: "But if the action is not smooth, with their shrewdness, they should make another plan, it shouldn't be like this." ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes after hearing this, what Liu Bang said was indeed good.
"Could it be that they were in danger, or were killed by Fusu's people?" Xiang Yu guessed.
Liu Bang shook his head and said: "No, if this is the case, Fusu will definitely not hide in the barracks and not show up because of the taboo of security issues, at least he will return to Xianyang." ”
"Then since there is no danger, why don't they come back, or send a message?" Xiang Yu questioned, and finally thought about it, walked to Liu Bang again, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, you don't have to worry about the affairs here, go to Nanyang as soon as possible, I am here here, Meng Tian I will defeat him sooner or later." ”
In his words, Xiang Yu showed the aura of an overlord, as if even if the action was unsuccessful, he could not stop him from attacking Xianyang.
Liu Bang's brows jumped, and finally his eyelids drooped, he knew that Xiang Yu was suspicious of his delay.
"Okay, I'll go back now, and I'll leave in five days at most." Liu Bang said goodbye and left.
After returning to his barracks, Liu Bang understood that he found Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to discuss, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiang Yu's request to withdraw his troops.
Chen Ping thought about it and said: "Xiang Yu wants to monopolize the Guannei, and secondly, he wants us to contain Wang Ben, if we don't go, I'm afraid Xiang Yu will turn his face, and at that time, facing Zhao Jun and Xiang Yu, two strong enemies, we will be in danger."
In fact, I have consulted some records and asked some people in the west, in fact, Shu County is not a barren land, on the contrary, the land is still very rich, far away from the Central Plains and not affected by the war, plus the first emperor has migrated a large number of people to this place, but the road is inconvenient to travel.
Even if Xiang Yu dominates Qin Land at that time, the lord can also take advantage of the situation to get the southwest counties, recuperate, and enhance his strength to fight a decisive battle with Xiang Yu. ”
Zhang Liang also said: "Yes, and the Zhao army is not easy to follow, the northeastern counties have been pacified, and troops will soon be sent to Sanchuan, after we leave, Xiang Yu will face the Zhao army alone, with Zhao Jun and Meng Tian joining forces, it is not so easy for Xiang Yu to enter the customs, on the contrary, we may be able to enter Xianyang first."
In addition, I heard that Hu Zhao, the deputy general next to Wang Ben, did not agree with him, although Wang Ben was good at fighting and was extremely difficult to deal with, but we could start from Hu Zhao. ”
"Haha, I have two, far better than a million army." The haze in Liu Bang's heart suddenly disappeared, and he smiled happily: "Tell me to go down and leave within three days, let Xiang Yu and Zhao Jun, the two reckless men, fight, I will take advantage of the fisherman." ”
As for Zhao Miao's assassination of Fusu, Liu Bang didn't take it to heart, in fact, at the beginning of the plan, he was optimistic, but Zhao Miao and Zhao Fu wanted revenge, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only hold the mentality of giving it a try.
Now that the two of them have not heard from each other for a few days, he can't think of a reason, and because of the secrecy of the action, this matter cannot be discussed publicly before the results are out, so he can only press it in his heart.
Of course, Liu Bang couldn't have known, in fact, the two of them and Fusu were already dead
In Xiang Yushuai's tent, Fan Zeng appeared again.
"Father, what do you think of Zhao Fu's matter, why do I always feel a little weird, that Emperor Fusu also seems too abnormal, he is the king of a country, I heard that there is still a stubbornness, it can't be that the news has leaked, he is scared and doesn't dare to go out of the barracks." Xiang Yu told Fan Zeng about the assassination.
Fan Zeng squinted and pondered, and finally suddenly said, "Yu'er, have you ever thought that Fusu is dead." ”
"What, Fusu is dead?" Xiang Yu's heart jumped violently, and he said, "What about Zhao Fu and Zhao Miao, why didn't they come back." ”
"It could have died." Fan Zeng said with an old god at ease.
Xiang Yu was not stupid, and instantly guessed: "Are you saying that it is possible that they succeeded in assassination, and then were killed by the Qin army guards, and Meng Tian concealed this matter in order not to cause panic?" ”
Fan Zeng nodded and said: "There is such a possibility, but this is just speculation, and other possible situations are not ruled out." ”
Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked in a murderous voice, "Then what should we do." ”
In fact, he already believed Fan Zeng's guess in his heart, and only this kind of guess is most in line with today's situation.
"Attack!" Fan Zeng said a word lightly, and then said: "You can spread rumors first, just say that Fusu is dead, test the reaction of the Qin army, if Fusu does not appear, then it is really dead, the Qin army will inevitably be shaken, at present, Meng Tian is to dominate us, divide troops in Sanchuan, once the army's heart is shaken, all the soldiers and horses will inevitably collapse, and we will have no problem in defeating Meng Tian." ”
Xiang Yu said excitedly: "Okay, I'll immediately let the dragons and them prepare." ”
Fan Zeng nodded: "Well, you must always be careful of Zhao Jun, it is very likely to come to help." ”
Xiang Yu laughed and said: "Haha, don't worry, the Zhao army is more than a thousand miles away from here, even if you get the news today, it is impossible to arrive in time, and the spies can return yesterday, and the army of Zhao Jun is still in Julu." ”
Fan Zeng shook his head and admonished: "Yu'er can't be careless, Zhao Jun always acts unexpectedly, so it's better to be prepared." ”。
"Zhong Liwu has already requisitioned another 60,000 soldiers and horses from Chudi, and it will be the day after tomorrow, I will let him and Long He lead these 60,000 soldiers and horses as support." Xiang Yu said.
Fan Zeng nodded and smiled: "I have a hunch that this battle is related to the fate of my Great Chu, so I must be cautious." ”
Xiang Yu nodded, it was inevitable that Zhao Jun would come to help, and now he was going to launch a general attack on Meng Tian, perhaps, he would have to win or lose with Zhao Jun in this battle.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but get excited, and finally had to face off against Zhao Jun.
If the Zhao army is defeated, the Great Qin will be destroyed without support.
Zhao Junsheng, then he will also fall into the land of no return, maybe he himself will also die in battle, the world is still Daqin
At this time, in Shangdang County in the north, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping on the galloping road, and the momentum was huge.
Cao Wuxian, the leader, smiled at the infant next to him: "Haha, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu would never have imagined that now we are not far from them." ”
"We are sending troops at night in batches, and we are detouring the trail, plus Hou Ye is bluffing in Julu, how could they find out, but Hou Ye is also almost here." Baby Irrigation Road.
Cao Wuxian nodded and said: "Well, the boss and Han Xin's kid are the last group of starting points, but they are light horses, and there are few people, so they should catch up soon, haha, this is why Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have no place to cry." (To be continued.) )
