Chapter 60: The Bright Sword

"General! The subordinate is back! Walking into the Chinese military tent of Meng Fu, Li Si took a deep look and said.

Originally, according to Meng Fu's plan, he only needed to send an ordinary soldier to Langzhong City to intimidate the Qin army, but Li Si volunteered to enter Langzhong City to find out the reality of the Qin army. Of course, Meng Fu didn't want Li Si, who Han Wangran had a big fancy to, to risk his life, but he couldn't help Li Si's hard persuasion, and finally reluctantly agreed. Fortunately, after half an hour of worry, Li Si walked out unscathed.

Meng Fu, who was really relieved in his heart, did not change his expression, but nodded slightly. However, the deputy general on the side, Zhijin Wu Weiyun laughed and said: "Our big hero is back!" Come! Tell us about what you learned from your trip! I've been worried about you for a while, and if you don't get anything, I'll be the first to spare you! ”

Liston was stunned, where was there a half-minute look like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him just now and his face did not change, and said: "Oh! Then he talked eloquently: "My subordinates have gained a lot from going to Langzhong!" The biggest gain was the discord within the Qin army. ”

Meng Fu came to be interested at the time, the big war was imminent, and if there was discord within the Qin army, he could divide it and reduce a lot of losses. So Meng Fu asked with concern, "Why do you say this?" ”

"After the subordinates entered the house, the head of the house was sitting on the military marquis Zhang Xin, and on his right was Wang An, the commander of Langzhong County."

"That's really wrong!" Meng Fu said in a deep voice. Nowadays, the left is precious, and Wang An's rank is higher than Zhang Xin's, but he is the first. Thinking about it, Zhang Xin is used to being arrogant, relying on being the confidant of Zhang Ruo, the county guard, and the big war is imminent, so he sits at the top.

Li Si continued to state: "Standing on Wang An's side is the county lieutenant Su Fang and two two or five hundred lords. Standing on one side of Zhang Xin were the three two or five hundred lords brought from Jiangzhou. ”

Meng Fu laughed when he heard this, such a well-defined position was still extremely rare. When he heard Li Si say that the two sides had different reactions to Li Si's alternative persuasion, Meng Xiao's smile was even stronger. Obviously, Zhang Xin and his two or five hundred lords were inclined to stick to it. Wang An, Su Fang and his two or five hundred lords were reluctant to retreat, but as long as there was a possibility to protect themselves, they would not fight hard. Even, it can be seen from the fact that Zhang Xin did not stop Li Si, Zhang Xin is very likely to want to leave a way out for himself! Li Si just deceived them, and tested their determination to stick to Langzhong. The mind can be described as dexterous. He even wanted to adopt Li Si's plan to divide the troops. However, I thought that even if Langzhong held on, it would not last more than three days, so I gave up.

"General!" After Zhang Xin separated Wang An and his men, Qin An said with a hesitant face.

Zhang Xin sighed and said, "Ten days! Ten days later, if the reinforcements from the county guard have not arrived, you can go out of the city! We've done everything we can, and it's time for this damn war to end! ”

"General!" Qin An wanted to say something, but Zhang Xin walked out, waving his hand as he walked.

State of Qin. Xianyang.

South Korea's hoarding of troops in Hanzhong has been fermenting under the rendering of well-intentioned people, and what makes Qin Guo even worse is that South Korea's Taiwei Storm Kite led 30,000 troops to Wuguan, and his intention is unknown. But undoubtedly, this was definitely not a sign of peace for the Qin State. Just as Qin did last year, Qin mobilized a large army in Chencang, attracting the attention of the whole world, but in the end, it was a big hit. Surprise attack Hedong and Wuguan. What South Korea is doing now is undoubtedly a replica. It's just that. No one dares to say whether South Korea is going to attack the West this time or whether it is a fake show.

From west to east, South Korea has used 110,000 troops, and this is only a front-line force. No one believed that South Korea made such a big splash just to add some excitement to the Qin State. News from Hanzhong, Nanyang, Sanchuan, and Hedong was deliberately blocked by Han and Wei. It has been completely cut off. On the one hand, the Qin State recruited a large army for war, and on the other hand, it did its best to listen to the news from the Central Plains.

Wei Wei Wang Qian, Lang Zhong ordered Lu Gong, and Xianyang general Huan Qi to guard against the Korean army in the three directions of Chencang, Lantian, and Shangxian in turn. Among them, Shang County was the only result of the Qin army's last surprise attack on Wuguan, and a city was built between Wuguan and Yaoguan to set up a county. It added nearly two hundred miles of defensive depth to Xianyang.

By the end of March, the news of South Korea's increase in troops to Sheyi spread all over the world, and naturally it also reached Xianyang. The first feeling of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State was that Korea was crazy, if Korea was not crazy, how could it send Li Mu to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Shiyi?! It's not good to send anyone, but to send Li Mu, who is the best at field warfare! Which army is not good to send, but send the famous Yulin Army! Isn't this a provocation to Zhao Guo? Is it really an ornament for the 100,000 troops near Handan?

However, the next thing for the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State is to steal joy. South Korea stationed troops in Hanzhong and Wuguantun to put pressure on itself. set off a storm in the party again, obviously to provoke the rhythm of the two powerful countries of Qin and Zhao at the same time! It is true that South Korea is strong, but it is not strong enough to go to war with Qin and Zhao at the same time. When the news came that Qi and Wei had 200,000 troops to capture Pingyi and Anyang, the world finally knew what the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Qi had in mind.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Inhuman's life has been a bit difficult lately. Since the Korean army pressed the border, rumors about Qin's betrayal of Zhao have stopped. Many people swore that the Qin State had fallen to Korea, and the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei, and Qi would work together to attack Zhao. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the news that South Korea had garrisoned 50,000 troops in Shiyi, which was only 100 miles away from Handan, and the leader of the troops was Li Mu, the captain of the guard. Later, it happened that Qi and Wei each sent 100,000 troops, and had already captured Pingyi and Anyang, dividing Zhao into two. Prince Dan was assassinated yesterday, but fortunately he was only slightly injured and his life was not in danger.

Enraged, King Zhao ordered the city gates to be closed and the entire city to hunt down the assassins. The Assassins had no way to hide, so they resisted stubbornly and committed suicide. The Zhao people searched the dead assassin for the contract of the house, followed the vine, and found a dagger printed with the Qin script and a map of the Zhao palace in the mezzanine of the room. Someone immediately recognized that it was the name of a craftsman from a workshop in Xianyang.

Qin State was suddenly pushed to the forefront, although the suspicion of other countries not being ruled out, but Qin State became the biggest suspect at present. The alien who was a proton was also summoned by Zhao Guodianke and said something secretive, and then the supply was all cut.

As soon as Qin Zhao's relationship was tense, Yiren began to panic. After all, he is only the crown prince of Qin, one of An Guojun's many concubines, and his mother Xia Ji is not favored by An Guojun. Even if the King of Qin turned against Zhao and attacked the Zhao State, he would not have the slightest burden because of him. Yiren can only hope that the Qin State did not attack the Zhao State, otherwise, what awaits him is only the anger of the Zhao State. A glass of poisoned wine may be the best fate for himself, and maybe the five horses can calm Zhao Guo's anger.

"Childe, there are merchants outside asking to see you!" The only henchman by Inhuman's side, the old slave, said.

The stranger, who was worried about his future, turned a deaf ear and said angrily, "No! ”

The old slave watched Inhuman's mother Xia Ji grow up, and naturally knew that Inhuman was also a child's temper like his mother. Although he is only fourteen years old now, the old slave still carefully reminded: "Childe, the old slave looks at his extraordinary weapons, and he thinks it is worth a lot of money. Now the situation is unstable, and the merchant has the most wealth! If the Qin State really crusaded against the Zhao State, there might be room for turning around with the help of merchants. ”

The strangers who have been hostages in Handan for two years and grew up in the intrigue of the emperor's house are much more precocious than the children of ordinary families. Thinking of the scene of the door, Yiren knew that he shouldn't be petty, and said a little listlessly: "Bring your guests in!" Let me change my clothes! ”

"Whoa!" The old slave's face was filled with relief, and he slowly retreated.

Later, LΓΌ Buwei met a stranger who pretended to be old-fashioned and was actually very immature. As soon as they met, LΓΌ Buwei made a gesture and greeted: "Wei Ren LΓΌ Buwei has seen Gongzi!" ”

Hearing the title of Childe, Yiren looked a little embarrassed, and replied weakly: "Sir, please get up!" ”

After Lu Buwei sat down, Yiren asked: "Mr.'s patriotic country is no longer there, why do you still call yourself a patriotic person?" ”

Lu Buwei smiled slightly and replied: "Buwei was born in Puyang and grew up in Puyang, so he is naturally a defender. Even if the country has been destroyed, Buwei does not dare to forget his ancestors and forget that he is a defender. ”

The stranger was stunned for a moment, and praised: "Sir is really a loyal and righteous man!" Inhuman admiration! ”

Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "For the sake of the Qin State, Gongzi came to Handan thousands of miles away as a hostage, so why not forget that he is a Qin person!" In Buwei's view, born and grew up in Si, he naturally does not forget Si. I'm afraid Childe is also concerned about Xianyang! ”

Yiren raised the wine bottle, drank it all, and said bitterly: "I was born and grew up in Handan." Xianyang, hehe. ”

For Yiren, Xianyang really has nothing to be nostalgic for except for the mother who dotes on him in every way. He didn't even have much of an impression of his father and his eldest father.

It is naturally impossible for LΓΌ Buwei not to know that Yiren was indeed born to Xia Ji when An Guojun, the crown prince of Qin, was hostage in Handan, and stayed in Handan for more than six years. It can be said that Yiren's childhood was spent in Handan. Later, Yiren moved to Xianyang with his mother. was sent to Handan to act as a proton by mistake. Lu Buwei deliberately said this, just to stimulate the stranger.

"If you don't break your promise, you will be punished with three cups." Lu Buwei said apologetically.

Yiren didn't stop him, but after Lu Buwei drank three glasses of wine, he said softly: "What do you mean by this, sir?" If you ask me to help take care of the relationship between Zhao Guo, I'm afraid I will be powerless. At the moment, I can't protect myself. ”

Seeing that Yiren said it so explicitly without being shy about it, Lu Buwei shook his head solemnly and said, "Buwei came here this time for the sake of the majority of princes!" (To be continued......)

PS: I made a mistake, the current crown prince of Qin, An Guojun, has more than 20 concubines. Also, it's 268 B.C.
