Julu County, the north has been flattened, and the Zhao army naturally occupied the territory of several counties, assigned scribes to govern, and expanded the soldiers and horses again, and trained them to guard the local county.

Now, the total territory owned by the Zhao army is Linzi County, Langxi County, Dongjiao County, Jibei County, Julu County, and Zhao Land east of Taihang, and the entire Yan Land, large and small, there are more than a dozen counties, and they were all taken in a short time.

Therefore, although the talent reserve in Linzi has been sufficient over the years, and the baggage battalion and Sima Xin, Zhou Ke and others have been well prepared, they are also busy for a while, and Zhao Jun has to go into battle shirtless, so he personally sits in the battle and handles various tasks with the help of Kui Che.

"Master Hou, there is an abnormality in the west."

Zhao Jun finally rested in the back room for a while, and Bai Ying suddenly came to report.

Zhao Jun frowned, if it wasn't for an emergency, Bai Ying would never come to him at this time.

"West? Is something happening in Xianyang? Zhao Jun asked.

Bai Ying shook his head and said: "No, but the people we arranged in Sanchuan County found that it was not normal recently, there were many living people appearing, and their whereabouts were secret, I suspect that it was Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's meticulous work." ”

"It should be normal for the fine work, after all, now that Sanchuan County is in the war stage, it is normal for these two people to send some fine work, have you found anything suspicious?" Zhao Jun looked at Bai Ying and said, he believed that Bai Ying still had a little bit of judgment.

Sure enough, Bai Ying said in a solemn tone: "Master Hou, there are usually meticulous works, but recently there has suddenly increased a lot, and their whereabouts have also changed, and most importantly, they seem to be around the emperor." ”

"What?"

Zhao Jun's face changed, he knew about the Fusu Imperial Expedition, but in ancient times, there were very few people who took the lead in the Emperor's Imperial Expedition, and the Fusu martial arts could only be regarded as mediocre.

In addition, in order to deal with state affairs, he just sat in the rear of Sanchuan County to boost morale to show that the emperor and the soldiers shared weal and woe, in fact, Fusu was just doing it, and most of the time was dealing with state affairs, and the military was naturally responsible for Meng Tian and Li You, Wang Li and others.

Of course, even so, Fusu definitely did not stay safe in Xianyang, after all, Sanchuan County is now in the midst of a war, and the defense measures are unlikely to be as good as Xianyang.

Is there someone planning to assassinate the emperor and then use this to achieve the goal of attacking Xianyang?

As soon as this thought came out, Zhao Jun gasped, and then looked at Bai Ying's eyes, obviously having this idea.

Bai Ying said tentatively: "Master Hou, if something really happens to the emperor, Meng Tian's command will definitely defeat himself without a fight, I'm afraid that before our soldiers arrive, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang will attack Xianyang, at that time"

Zhao Jun frowned, he can not care about the life or death of Fusu, but Guannai is the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes, let alone falling into the hands of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, otherwise, with the terrain of Guannai, it is useless to have sharp cavalry, and once Guannai is lost, the Qin Dynasty will also perish, and the hearts of the people under the command of the Qin Dynasty will be scattered, which is extremely unfavorable to themselves.

Moreover, Zhao Jun can't wait now, and must defeat Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in one battle.

"White Shadow, you immediately rush to Sanchuan County, in the shortest possible time, mobilize all the elites you can mobilize into Sanchuan County, be sure to find out their intentions and stop them.

We are also about to send troops to Sanchuan County, you must try to cooperate with our army's actions, remember, everything is based on the final victory of the army, and act according to the opportunity. ”

In the end, Zhao Junruo glanced at Bai Ying meaningfully, and bit the last sentence very hard.

Bai Ying was shocked, and then said solemnly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I understand what you mean." ”

Everything is based on victory, and the emperor's life is opportunistic!

After Zhao Jun watched Bai Ying's back leave, he called Mu Ning again and asked her to go to Sanchuan as well, this matter is really important.

In the end, Zhao Jun called Wei Yu and told Wei Yu about the situation.

Wei Yi frowned after hearing this, but he didn't say much about the possible assassination of Fusu, but said directly: "Master Hou, the so-called soldiers are fast, no matter what conspiracy Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have, we should send troops to Sanchuan in the shortest possible time, and there may be any changes if it is late, and the government affairs of more than a dozen counties can not be stabilized in a moment." ”

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, yes, he actually made an obvious mistake, that is, he stopped moving forward after the victory in the Northeast, but now the situation is dangerous, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are in a hurry to attack Xianyang, and he has no time to fight steadily.

"What does the military advisor mean is that we will send troops in the shortest possible time, strike a thunderous blow, and make contributions in one battle?" Zhao Jun said with burning eyes.

Wei Yi nodded and said: "Yes, the longer the war, the more detrimental it is to the national strength, and it is the people who suffer in the end, in fact, with stirrups and horizontal knives, plus the elite of our army, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu will no longer be our opponents." ”

"Well, this time I want to defeat his army head-on." Zhao Jun's eyes showed a strong confidence.

In the end, Wei Yu said: "It is best to order the army to sneak first, and use the speed advantage of our army to catch the two of them off guard, and in addition, we must notify Meng Tian in advance, I believe he will cooperate with Hou Ye's actions." ”

"Yes." Zhao Jun nodded, speaking of the speed of the march, Zhao Jun was proud enough, and the scout battalion under Zhou Chang's command was completely trained according to the requirements of the special forces, which was enough to ensure the secrecy of the march and surprise Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

Yongqiu in Sanchuan County, Fusu has been handling government affairs here since the expedition.

It was getting dark, and after Fusu finished handling government affairs in the temporary palace, he prepared to conduct routine official business and inspect Mengtian's military camp outside the city.

After all, anyway, he said that the royal driver was personally recruited, so every day, even though he was busy, Fusu would take time to go to the military camp.

In addition to the elite of the 300 forest guards accompanying him, there is also the personal protection left by the first emperor, and the general Lu rate also placed a secret post in the city to ensure the safety of the emperor.

Meng Tian's camp was only two miles away from the city, and Fusu quickly arrived at the camp in a carriage.

"Meet Your Majesty." Meng Tian was handling military affairs in the camp, and when he saw the emperor coming in, he immediately got up to pay respects.

"No courtesy." Fusu gently smiled and helped Meng Tian up, and asked again, "How is the recent battle going?" ”

Meng Tian frowned a little gloomy and said: "The battle situation has not changed much, Liu Bang and Xiang Yujun's attack route is different every time, our army can only be tired of coping, and the other party is very old and spicy in using troops." ”

Fusu's face was not good-looking after hearing this, which made Meng Tian so sad, which shows the strength of the opponent, and the difficulty of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang is unexpected.

In fact, for so long, every time Liu Bang and Xiang Yu used troops, they adopted the method of highlighting or encircling Wei to save Zhao, and the ultimate goal was only one, that is, to bypass Meng Tian and attack Guannei.

For political reasons, Fusu could only stick to Sanchuan County and signal not to retreat, so Meng Tian could only pursue hard in this situation and was in an extremely passive state.

Of course, from another point of view, in an unfavorable situation, it is enough to be proud of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, two bulls.

After thinking about it, Fusu had no choice, so he could only ask instead: "By the way, what is the movement on the second brother's side now." ”

Meng Tian's eyes moved, he naturally knew that Fusu was asking Zhao Jun, and just this morning, he also received a letter from Zhao Jun, which said that Zhao Jun would send troops, but did not mention the possibility of Fusu's assassination.

It's just that, after thinking about it, Meng Tian spoke: "Shenwu Hou's side is still in a hurry to stabilize the place, and there is no movement for the time being. ”

"Yes." Fusu nodded expressionlessly, and then left the camp to go back.

Meng Tian looked at the back of Fusu leaving, his eyes were a little confused, in fact, he wanted to tell Fusu about Zhao Jun sending troops just now.

But when he thought of Fusu's prejudice against Zhao Jun, he concealed it again, after all, according to Zhao Jun's letter, this was a great opportunity to break Liu Bang's Xiang Yu, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.

Here Fusu didn't know that Meng Tian didn't tell him the truth, so he got out of the barracks, got into the carriage and began to go back to the city.

At this time, it was already completely dark, and Fusu was a little tired, so he couldn't help but nap while sitting in the carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage shook and stopped.

"What's going on?" Fusu was awakened and shouted in a deep voice.

At this time, a hurried voice sounded outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, I will ask for a meeting." ”

As soon as Fusu heard that it was Jiang Lu, he immediately got out of the carriage, and there were dark woods on the left and right, and the carriage was parked on the path in the woods, and Jiang Lu was standing in front of the carriage.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Lu said with a anxious face: "Your Majesty, Hei Bingtai got the news that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu sent assassins, wanting to be unfavorable to you, and the movement in the city just now was also abnormal, it is not suitable to stay in the city, so let's enter the barracks." ”

"What, there are assassins, what are you doing on the Black Ice Terrace, why is there movement in the city, and you only know now?" Fusu asked angrily.

Jiang Lu was speechless, with an embarrassed face, indeed, the other party's personnel had already invaded Yongqiu, and he found out that this was not a dereliction of duty.

Ashamed, Jiang Lu wanted to persuade Su to return to the barracks first, and when he arrived at the barracks, it would be difficult for those assassins to act, and he would have enough time to eliminate the assassins, make up for his mistakes, and let go of his hands and feet.

However, before he could speak, a cold whistling suddenly sounded in his ears.

Fusu's back was furious, his face changed drastically, and he bowed his head almost instinctively.

"Sting!" With a sound, a sharp arrow passed through Fusu's scalp, bringing up a poke of hair, and the hair crown was also shattered, which can be imagined as powerful as this arrow.

Then, there was a frequent roar in the black sky, and countless arrows were shot from both sides of the woods on the left and right.

"There are assassins!" Jiang Lu's face changed greatly, and he immediately drew his long sword and danced to protect the carriage.

"Escort!"

For a while, the dead and Yu Linwei also roared, but the reaction was not slow, and the peripheral Yu Linwei quickly formed a formation, while the dead surrounded the carriage.

However, in the face of the sudden attack, many people were still killed.

After those guards stabilized the formation, with a hula, countless black-clothed people rushed out from both sides of Shunlin, all holding Qingyu Ice Blades, which looked like they were quenched poison, and there were about seven or eight hundred people.

"Kill the Dog Emperor!" The black-clothed man led by him shouted, and immediately cut down a Yu Lin Wei head-on, which was very fierce.

"Kill."

One of the black-clothed assassins ignored the ice blade that pierced into the ribs, and slashed the ice blade into the enemy's head, although because he was injured in the front, he only slashed Yu Linwei's shoulder, but that Yu Linwei's face turned blue in an instant, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

The black-clad assassin sneered, and stabbed another sword into the back of another unsuspecting Yulin guard, regardless of his injuries.

"Be careful, their weapons are poisonous to the touch." Jiang Lu in the distance gasped and reminded loudly that these assassins were indeed extremely fierce, and Yu Linwei couldn't stop them.

"Death will be suffered!" At this time, the leader of the assassins pounced on the general with ferocity, and the face scarf also fell off.

Seeing this, Jiang Lu was shocked and angry: "It's you, Zhao Fu, you dog slave dares to assassinate the emperor." ”

"Haha, it's this dog emperor who killed." Zhao Fu did not hide his identity when he saw that he was discovered, and at the same time raised his sword to stab at the general.

The martial arts of the two are not divided between left and right, but they are afraid of Zhao Fu's weapons with poison, so they gradually fall into disadvantage after fighting dozens of moves.

And the assassins here are also gradually gaining the upper hand, those close dead soldiers and Yu Linwei, although elite, but they are no longer the bravery of the First Emperor, a few years of comfortable life have worn out their blood, plus the number is not dominant, and the opponent's weapons are poisonous, so they have been pressed and beaten.

At this moment, one of the people who was suddenly close to the dead suddenly jumped into the carriage, and no one noticed at this time.

Fu Su was in a cold sweat in the carriage in a panic, he knew very well that he was going out at this time purely to add to the chaos, this place was not far from the military camp, presumably Meng Tian would lead the army to come soon.

"What are you doing when you come in, why don't you go out to meet the enemy quickly." At this time, Fusu saw a personal dead man with a black face suddenly come in, he was small, and his face was still a little raw, but he didn't think much about it.

"Meet the enemy, hehe." The dead man suddenly sneered, wiped his face, and suddenly turned his black face white, and said with a sneer: "Fusu, look at who I am." ”

Fu Su was stunned for a moment, looked at it intently, and suddenly exclaimed: "Zhao Miao, it's you." ”

Fusu was shocked and touched the hilt of the sword next to him, but Zhao Miao didn't give him a chance, the cold light flashed in his hand, and the sword was already on Fusu's neck.

"Fusu, I didn't expect it, I didn't get in with a long time." Zhao Miao smiled proudly.

Fu Su Qiang calmed down and said: "Zhao Miao, what do you want to do, kill me, you won't be able to live." ”

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Miao looked resentful and said: "Your Ying clan ruined my family, I will destroy your Qin family, your dog father and Zhao Jun killed my father, I will kill his son, hehe, as for Zhao Jun, naturally someone will deal with him." ”

Fusu felt a chill in his heart, knowing that today was inevitable, his heart was horizontal, and his face was firm: "Xiu said useless words, if you want to kill me, come on, it's worth it to have your Zhao Gao family to accompany the funeral, I have no bad seeds." ”

"You're pretty neat." Zhao Miao sneered again: "Then I will fulfill you." ”

With a tightening of the wrist, the sword suddenly exerted force.

'Poof! With a bang, blood splattered, Fusu's head suddenly rolled into the carriage, and the headless corpse suddenly fell to the ground.

Zhao Miao's face relaxed, she bent down and wrapped Fusu's head in cloth, kicked open the carriage door with the last kick, got out of the carriage and jumped forward, jumping out of the carriage like a rabbit.

"Succeed, withdraw." Zhao Miao shouted.

Seeing this, General Lu over there was shocked, and was immediately stabbed in the palm of Zhao Fu's hand when he was distracted.

Jiang Lu was shocked, his face was hateful, and he immediately swung his sword to cut off the rotten flesh of the wound on his left palm, and the blood was surging, but it effectively stopped the spread of poison, although there was still a toxic infection, but it would not die immediately.

"Haha, Jianglu, you're dead." Zhao Fu laughed, turned around and retreated with the assassin, he knew this kind of toxicity very well, even if there was a trace of infection, he would definitely not survive to dawn.

The Feather Guards and the Dead were terrified, and they realized that an Assassin had slipped into the carriage just now.

However, despite this, they were unable to catch up, because the casualties were too heavy to catch up.

"Do you want to go, have you asked me?" At this time, a cold cheer suddenly sounded.

Countless footsteps followed, and torches were lit up, illuminating the sky.

I saw that around the carriage, more than 1,000 people in Tsing Yi suddenly appeared, all holding horizontal knives, and their momentum was stronger than that of the assassins.

In addition, on the trunk of the tree, there were two or three hundred men in Tsing Yi armed with short crossbows, and at this time they had already pointed their arrows at the assassins present.

In an instant, all the people, including Yu Linwei, were surrounded.

"It's you, White Shadow!" Zhao Fu and Zhao Miao had already gathered together, including those assassins, who also followed in fear.

Bai Ying held the sword in his hand and said coldly: "If you know that it is me, then cut off the head yourself, so as not to dirty my hands." ”

Zhao Fu and Zhao Miao's faces were very ugly, others didn't know how powerful Bai Ying was, they were very powerful, as hostile peers, in the past few years, they had no less confrontation with Bai Ying.

But without exception, every time he was defeated by the White Shadow, whether it was wit or force, he had the upper hand every time.

Moreover, now they are still surrounded and at an absolute disadvantage.

"Hmph, anyway, the Dog Emperor is dead, so what if we fight for our lives today." Zhao Miao suddenly shook Fusu's head out.

"Big brother!" Lu's pale face changed drastically, and he exclaimed.

At the same time, those Yu Linwei and the personal dead soldiers also panicked instantly, and the hearts of the people were scattered for a while.

"Hmph, look for death." Bai Ying said disdainfully, and finally waved his hand to his subordinates: "Kill, don't leave a single one!" ”

"Woohoo!" The first is the shot of crossbowmen from the trees, arrows like flying locusts.

"Puff Dang"

Although those assassins were not weak, in the face of the Qin army's strong crossbowmen, they were also in chaos in an instant, and more than 200 people were shot and killed in an instant.

And those who were shot, whether minor or severe, after three breaths, all died.

"You're poisoned too?" Zhao Fu was shocked.

Bai Ying snorted coldly: "Get the poison, I'm your ancestor, do it!" ”

"Kill!" In an instant, all the shadows were killed, and those assassins were often not the enemies of the shadows, of course, the horizontal knife was a major role in this.

"Flutter!" The white shadow stabbed Zhao Fu's throat with a sword, and it was extremely accurate.

Zhao Miao's face changed, and she shouted frantically: "Brother, ah, Bai Ying, I will kill you!" ”

"Hmph, you deserve it too!" The sword in the white shadow's hand swung again, like white lightning, almost to the extreme.

"Poof!"

Zhao Miao's head was directly cut off.

Soon, with the deaths of Zhao Miao and Zhao Fu, the battle was nearing its end.

At this time, Meng Tian just arrived with his troops. (To be continued.) )
