Chapter 996: Secret Talk

"Senior brother, why do I think there is a murderous aura in the southeast?"

A young man who was less than twenty years old was wearing Qin armor and standing on the tower south of Wencheng with a long sword in his hand and said to another young man next to him.

Wencheng is ten miles in circumference, the city wall is eight zhang high, the stone barrier is made, and the external reinforcement is reinforced with earth ramming, which is indestructible.

Leaning on the Cangyun Peak of the Taihang Mountains in the north, and the south is the old north road of the letter valley that it wants to hold.

At this time, it was getting late, and the winter clouds were hanging low, which looked very solemn.

It was Li Si who spoke, with clear eyebrows, slightly longer cheeks, and a height of eight feet, who was a promising young man.

"Senior brother, are you too worried?"

"This damn weather, who has nothing to do with us to send us to death?"

"When the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, we don't have to stay in this ghost place. ”

"After opening the Cuihan channel and facing the Central Plains, we only need to hold the party pass and look down on the world. ”

"What Senior Brother said is, but how do I think that there was a murderous aura rushing into the sky just now, and the kung fu was gone in the blink of an eye. ”

"Don't worry, our city here has thick walls, and the mountain roads are cramped, and if the enemy sneaks here, it will be self-defeating. ”

Han Fei comforted Li Sidao.

Han Fei was a little shorter, with a round face, and his brows always looked furrowed, as if he was always thinking about something important.

Like Li Si, he was wearing the armor of General Qin, but Li Si's color was slightly darker, and Han Fei's armor was trimmed with crimson.

It should be that Han Fei's rank is slightly higher than Li Si.

"Report!"

The scouts released from the southeast flew back, and Li Si hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the city to open the south gate.

"Report to the General, there are enemy troops in the valley heading here. ”

"Oh?"

"How many are there?"

"The number of people is not very clear, judging from the armor and clothing, it should be the Wei army. ”

"Hehe, this Wei State is not afraid of death, and he really sent troops to save Zhao?"

"And it's quite bold, you dare to attack and disturb our army's food road?"

Li Si said with some disdain.

"Well, I think the leader has a good vision, and it is common sense for Wei to send troops to rescue Zhao. ”

"In the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, there are more and less, and the king of Wei still knows the truth of the cold lips and teeth. ”

"So our army is in danger. ”

Han Fei shook his head and said.

"Why did Senior Brother say this?"

"Hey, the king doesn't use Wu Anjun's words to quickly break the Zhao State, delay it for a few months, and then change the general, and use the nameless boy recommended by Prime Minister Fan Sui to rob Wu Anjun's credit, is the Zhao State so easy to destroy?"

Han Fei said slowly.

"Senior brother, do you mean that this siege of Zhao will be defeated?"

Li Si asked with some confusion.

"As soon as the world's rescuers arrive, Qin will be attacked on three sides, do you think that Wang Yi can stop the Chu-Wei coalition army?"

"In addition, although Han is weak, but warriors can also fight, I am a Han, you are a Chu person, and they all understand that any country alone against Western Qin, there is no undefeated, but the world alliance, the current Qin does not have that confidence. ”

Han Feizi analyzed and judged the strength of each country very clearly.

"Then will we not be able to hold it here?"

Li Si's thinking was also very fast, and he immediately thought of his situation.

The two of them served under Meng Fu and served as the generals of the Wencheng guards, thinking that the combined forces of Wei, Chu, Han and Zhao were very likely to take advantage of Wang Yu's defeat to attack Hangu Pass, and the surging troops together, where could the small city of Wencheng withstand the attack of the Four-Nation Alliance?

I can't help but have some doubts.

"If you can't defend it, you have to defend it, at least you have to put on the appearance of defending the city, otherwise you and I should be beheaded according to Qin law. ”

The two of them belong to the same Legalist family, and after Shang Ying changed the law, Qin's law was strict and knew the consequences of abandoning the city and fleeing.

"Senior brother is right. ”

Li Si got the reassurance of his senior brother Han Fei, and he was no longer flustered.

The two of them were employed in the Lanling of Qi, which is also known as Xunzi.

Later generations generally classified Xunzi as Confucianism, but the real core value of Xunzi's thought was Legalism.

Different from Mencius, Mencius's core idea is more the rule of man, which is mixed with many longitudinal and horizontal scholars, famous speculative skills, and the overall pattern is not as lofty as Xunzi.

It is broad and anachronistic, and there are even many people who believe that the later "Mencius" was forged by the people of the Western Han Dynasty, such as Ouyang Xiu, a famous writer in the Great Song Dynasty, who once suspected the falsification of "Mencius".

After the theoretical works of various schools of thought in the Warring States Period were forged by the disaster of Qin's book burning and Liu Xiangxin's father and son in the Western Han Dynasty, it is not very clear how many of them are true and how many are water-sensitive.

In terms of academics, Li Si still admires his senior brother Han Fei very much, and he is ashamed of himself.

The two were thinking about it, and the three giant arrows of "whoosh", "whoosh", and "whoosh" broke through the air.

"Senior brother, be careful. ”

Li Si hurriedly pressed Han Fei to the ground.

It was the city crossbow giant arrow that was assembled by Sikong Yan and others after Charlotte gave the drawings.

A giant arrow with a diameter of one meter and a length of five meters is shot from a city crossbow two zhang wide, and the speed and momentum will be amazing.

Mo Zhai took two steps forward and immediately found the three arrows on the city crossbow.

The string is made of the entanglement of the wooden heart of a hundred wattles, poured with butter, and twisted into a bowstring.

The thick bowstring seemed to be able to cut through the space, revealing a cold murderous aura to the outside.

Mo Zhai's first reaction was that there was high energy ahead, and the enemy's strength was not below him.

Reaching out and drawing your sword was a very natural reaction.

When I saw that it was a huge crossbow arrow, I couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.

When I looked closer, I was amazed.

While looking at the crossbow arrows, look at Charlotte.

The strange eyes rolled repeatedly, and the face changed back and forth.

One moment green, one moment white, one moment red.

Charlotte didn't know what was going on in the mind of this strange Mo family head.

The other Mo disciples had already been shocked by Charlotte's crossbow.

Seeing that the head of the family, Mo Zhai, was also silent for a long time, knowing that his master must have set off a storm in his heart.

Because usually Mo Zhai would be like this if he had any inventions and ideas, going back and forth in circles, pondering problems.

"This is what you came up with?"

Mo Zhai finally raised his eyes and looked at Charlotte with difficulty and asked.

"yes, what's wrong?

Charlotte's reaction to Mo Zhai was a little inexplicable, could it be that Mo Zhai was stimulated?

You can't go crazy, right?

You must know that this Mo family has an assassin background, so it is better to be wary.

He never dealt with the assassins, and the indigenous assassins of the Warring States period were afraid that they would not have a good relationship with him.

"Sure enough, it's a genius of Tianzhong, let me ask you again, would you like to join my Mo family?"

"If you wish, I can pass on the position of master to you. ”

The muscles on Mo Zhai's face were trembling and twitching when he said this, which showed how much he was looking forward to Charlotte's answer.

"Master Mo, you're polite. ”

"I'm already a disciple of the Guigu Valley, how can I join the Mo family again?"

"Presumably, the head of the family can't accept the person who deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestor, right?"

"Alas!"

Mo Zhai stopped talking.

"Xiao Xia Gongzi, let's attack now, shall we?" asked Sikong Yan.

"I have already said about the siege of the city, and I can trust the Mo family. ”

Sikong Yan's eyes showed gratitude.

He knew that Master Mo Zhai wanted face the most, and when he heard Charlotte say this, it really gave the Mo family enough face.

Who in the world doesn't know the Mo family's siege skills?

Immediately led 30,000 men to the west entrance of the valley.

The further you go, the wider the road.

Three hours later, the army could already see Wencheng.

Sikong Yan saw two Qin army generals standing on the tower of Nancheng from a distance, and immediately pushed the city crossbow up.

Aiming at the tower is three arrows.
