Chapter 19: Assassination
The night fire is raging, and the armor soldiers come and go.
In the square city, the Yan army camp.
A battle has just ended, and the Yan army is resting. This battle was not difficult, and Zhao Jun did not want to hold on at the beginning, but just tried to drag out the time.
Fangcheng was in the hinterland of Yan State, and as soon as the battle began, the Zhao army had all retreated south and retreated to Wusui.
In the main tent, Ji Xin squinted, he had just finished discussing the military situation, and he was taking a nap.
"Who?"
A gust of wind moved, and the old general's whole body collapsed like a leopard.
A man in black walked into the tent from the outside, so abrupt and so natural.
The only reason why Ji Xin didn't take any action at the moment was because there was no murderous aura on this person!
The man in black slowly took off his cloak, revealing his true face.
"Prince?"
Ju Xin knows that Prince Dan is not bad, and there is a powerful force behind him. It's just that he didn't expect that Prince Dan's power was already strong enough to infiltrate the army.
Even, he was able to break through layers of defense and break into the camp tent of the Chinese army without a single guard to warn.
"Prince, do you know how the king would feel if he found out that you were not in Jicheng at this time?"
"Dan is here, I just want to ask, is the old general really sure to attack Zhao?"
Ji Xin was silent, and after a long time, he only said one word.
"The military is dangerous, how can there be any certainty of victory."
Prince Dan seemed to see Ji Xin's helplessness and shook his head.
From a tactical point of view, the Yan army seized a good opportunity this time. Strategically, not necessarily.
"Yan and Zhao attack each other, and it will only be Qin who will benefit."
"Prince, if the six countries can really unite, how can they allow the Qin State to become so big? Don't forget, not long ago, Li Mu's army took down here. The trend of the world lies in the future new monarch of Qin. I don't know how virtuous and foolish he is, and the only thing I can do is to annex Zhao Tu and expand our strength as soon as possible. β
Qin Wangzheng?
Yan Dan thought of the man who had been hostage to Zhao with him, and he didn't feel a sense of vigilance in his heart.
That's it!
"In this way, I am willing to secretly help the old general and make meritorious contributions. My spies sent information that a group of Zhao cavalry had gone north to Wusui. β
"So fast?"
Ji Xin's face changed, and he walked quickly to the map.
"Handan is hundreds of miles away from Wusui, and Zhao Qi is so fast, which army is it?"
"In the past, Lian Po rode well."
"Lian Yun Fei Ride!"
The drama Xin abandoned Zhao Benyan, which can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of the Yan Kingdom. At the beginning, King Yan took advantage of the weakness of Zhao after the Battle of Changping to attack Zhao with all his strength, and was defeated by Lian Po.
"Who's the leader?"
"An unknown person, I heard that it was Pang Xuan who brought it."
"How's this guy?"
"According to the information I have gathered from my spies in Zhao State, this person is only eleven or twelve years old, but he is obscene, greedy, and vulgar. With the momentum of Pang Xuan, he is powerful. β
"That's a little weird!"
Ji Xin wondered in his heart, could it be that Pang Xuan was really old and confused, and sent such a person here?
Yan Dan saw Ji Xin's hesitation and asked.
"The old general and Pang Xuan are old acquaintances, what is your impression of him?"
"That was more than fifty years ago. The world has changed, he has lived in seclusion in Chu for many years, and now he has suddenly become a scholar, and his plans are quite big. β
"What is the old general's countermeasure?"
"If you want to take Lingshou, you have to take Wusui and Zhongren, and then fight through a city. In this way, there is a lot of risk. β
Ju Xin was in front of the map for a long time, and slowly spoke.
"The battle dragged on, and the main force of Li Mu's army went south from the north, and when it was pandering, it was flanked by Pang Xuan on both sides, and our army suffered from the enemy on the back. So I want to send a partial army to feint to attack Wusui, and the main force of the army will take the river to attack Lingshou by surprise. But in this way, there are also hidden worries. β
"The situation in Hejian is complex, and it is widely spread to the eyes and ears of the Zhao State, and our action must be coordinated by the Qin State in order to succeed."
One of the rivers is an enclave of Qin, and there are several cities that Yan Wang Xi gave to Qin Prime Minister LΓΌ Buwei. The Yan army wants to pass from there, and it can't hide it from the Qin State.
Moreover, when it comes to grain and grass equipment, it is also necessary to find a place to hoard, and it needs the help of the Qin State.
"The prince is familiar with military affairs, and the last general admires it. At this time, the Yan-Qin Alliance, I think the Qin Congress agrees. But the trouble is to remove Zhao Guo's ears and eyes. β
"That's the place of the Qin State, they naturally have a way."
Prince Dan's eyes froze, and he seemed to be well aware of the power of the Qin State there.
Ju Xin nodded, the crown prince of Yan Kingdom could stand out, but it was precisely because of this that he provoked the faint jealousy of King Yan.
"But there is one more point, the world's elite riding is in Qin and Zhao. If the Zhao cavalry in Wusui City went south to harass our army's grain road when our army captured Lingshou, it would also be quite troublesome. β
"I see!" Yan Dan nodded and arched his hand, "Don't worry, the old general, I will remove the old general's worries." β
"The prince wants ......."
As soon as the words began, Ji Xin didn't continue, but just responded.
"Then there is His Royal Highness Prince Lao!"
Yan Dan put on his cloak again, turned around and left the tent.
.......
Outside the city of Handan.
The night is high and the wind is howling.
Qianshou stood on top of the high mountain with a solemn expression.
As Yin Yin's sword groan came, Qianshou knelt on the ground.
"See Lord Occultation!"
"Get up!"
"His subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they have not been able to find a good opportunity to assassinate Pang Xuan."
"This mission has been terminated."
"What?"
I can't think of it, what is more important at this moment than assassinating this general of Zhao State?
"We used to underestimate him too much, and no one would have thought that this old guy was so powerful, but in a short period of time, he was able to gain the trust of King Zhao and become the general of Zhao State. The upper head gave an order to go to the land between the rivers. β
The status of the sun in the net is quite high, and the only people who can order him to kill are those in Xianyang.
"What's the mission in the Riverlands right now?"
The situation in the river is complicated, but there are few targets worthy of being targeted.
"Go clean up some bugs."
There was some playfulness in the tone of concealment, but after a long time of killing under his hands, he could feel that this adult was angry.
Obviously, those bugs are not worth the net, but the net has to do it.
.......
Wusui City.
This city was originally an important town of Yan State, an important fulcrum outside the Great Wall of Yan State, and like Fang Chengyi, it was conquered by Zhao general Li Mu not long ago.
Fang City is undefendable, but Wu Sui is different.
As the Zhao army of Fangchengyi retreated, the forward of the 10,000 Yan army poured up, crossed the Great Wall, crossed the Yishui, and camped outside Wusui City.
Although the Zhao army was rushing to repair, the city defense was still visibly dilapidated. All the Zhao army was waiting for reinforcements and a big battle.
The moonlit night was silent, Zhao Shuang was holding a bamboo slip in his hand and reading on the table.
The murderous aura was pervasive, and the slightest smell of blood came from outside.
Xuan Jian walked in slowly, with a little playful on his face.
"I really can't see that you are worth twice as much now, and you can actually work with an assassin group of this level."
"How's it going?"
"Escaped one!"
"Can anyone escape from you?"
Zhao Shuang put down the bamboo slip in his hand and raised his head.
"The strongest one escaped, but he didn't touch me here, he was just planted on your Lian Yunfei horse."
Xuan Jian smiled, looking at this scene from another angle, it was a special taste.
"They should be from the Yan Kingdom. Seeing these assassins make a move, they have the foundation of the Mo family, but they are mixed with some Yan Jun's knife skills and other assassination methods, and they have learned quite a lot, and they don't seem to be orthodox Momen rangers. β
"Yan Guoren? Mohism? β
Zhao Shuang smiled and understood who made such a play.
"Interesting!"
"What's interesting?"
"If the Yan army really wants to capture Wusui, why did they send someone to assassinate me, instead of the main general in the city? After all, cavalry is ineffective in defending the city. β
"What do you mean?"
"Yan Jun is bluffing."
Xuan Jian pondered deeply, but saw Zhao Shuang's eyes glowing with a dark light.
"Come and don't be rude, you go and do something for me."
"What?"
"Take Wusui outside the city, Yan will be headed!"
