Chapter 68: Border Storms
"Xiaochi, don't be in a hurry to refuse, we really can't help it, so we can only ask you again with a cheeky face."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi was shocked, could it be that there was something else hidden in this.
He looked at Zhao Qiankun, who smiled bitterly and then explained.
"Xiaochi, do you know why we came to Qingwa Town?"
"It's definitely not just to find Miss Ling'er, right?"
"The imperial court has received a secret report that the main fighters of the Jin State are planning to invade the border with our DPRK recently, so we were sent here by the imperial court."
Zhang Xiaochi's face was a lot more solemn, Qingwa Town, as a border town, had not encountered an enemy invasion before, although he had not experienced it, but many old people had experienced it personally.
The people of the Jin country are fierce and brutal, everywhere they go, they burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil, and Qingwa Town, as a border town, has suffered more than once from the poison of the Jin country.
In the worst case in history, almost half of the dead and wounded in the town of Qingwa.
"This operation is led by Hamza, the main warring element of the Jin Kingdom, as long as we kill it, the Jin invasion team will be leaderless, and when the time comes, we can easily defeat the Jin invasion army."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi couldn't help but glance at Zhao Qiankun, he had a discussion with Zhao Qiankun, did he want him to participate in the assassination of Hamza?
"Yes, that's what you think!"
Zhao Qiankun seemed to see through Zhang Xiaochi's thoughts, explained by himself, and added.
"Xiaochi, I am the leader of this operation, if you participate, with your skills, the success rate of this operation will definitely be much higher."
Zhang Xiaochi was silent, needless to say, this operation is absolutely deadly, and the decapitation operation will definitely go deep into the enemy's main position.
He wanted to refuse, but when he thought of this era, he couldn't stand up to it without power or power, and the difficulty of setting up a stall by the chief was a living example.
He is indeed very capable of fighting, but after all, he is only one person, and one person's strength is limited after all.
If he has an identity and status, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, and in this way, he can also avoid exposing his strength to the greatest extent.
After all, if the enemy doesn't know your strength, you'll be much safer.
Of course, there is a bigger reason, Qingwa Town is located on the border, less than ten miles away from the border, once the Jin State invades, Zhang Xiaochi can't stay out of the matter at all.
"Brother Zhao, I can participate, but I want to seek the benefits of an identity for myself."
Zhang Xiaochi thought about it again and again, and finally said solemnly.
"Tell me about it."
"I want a minimum title, I don't ask for a fief, just give me an identity."
Zhang Xiaochi answered straight to the point.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qiankun's father and son were silent, and in the end, Zhao Qiankun interrupted the silence.
"Dad, Xiaochi's request is not too much, after all, he is taking his life to carry out the mission."
Zhao Qiankun's father's name is Zhao Hongde, he is the general of the three grades of the Great Yue Kingdom, and he is also the earl with the highest status, not only high status, but also holds military power, which can be described as a high power.
"As long as you don't have a fief, I can help you ask the emperor for a baron."
Faced with his son's request, Zhao Hongde had no choice but to agree, he knew in his heart that Zhang Xiaochi was just a poor man, and it was difficult to win the nobility with just one merit, but he didn't want to disappoint his son and daughter, so he agreed.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaochi's requirements are not too excessive, no fiefdom as long as identity, the difficulty is not so high.
"Thank you, uncle."
Zhang Xiaochi hurriedly thanked him.
"Don't thank you so early, when the task is completed, it's not too late for me to wait for you to come back and thank you personally."
Zhao Hongde replied seriously.
Zhang Xiaochi was moved in his heart, Zhao Hongde's words can be regarded as the highest blessing to him, and being able to come back in person to thank him means that he can come back from the battlefield alive.
"Uncle, when are we going to act?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
"Hamza's army is stationed on the border with Jin, and there is news from the informant that they seem to be waiting for an opportunity to act, and it is not yet known when the enemy will do it."
"We can only do it when they do it, so that we don't get caught by the enemy."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, although the war is sometimes better to strike first, but the Jin country is very shameless, once they go deep into the enemy's main position to behead before the war, they will be caught by the handle to start a war, and when the time comes, the border between the two countries will definitely be in turmoil.
And as long as they do it first and then carry out the decapitation operation, there will be no excuse within the Jin Kingdom, which can minimize the casualties.
Of course, waiting for others to attack like this will be very passive to your own side, and the only thing you can do is to make a lot of preparations before the start of the war to make up for the lack of passive defense.
"Haven't you figured out what the other party is waiting for?"
Zhang Xiaochi said in a deep voice.
"Nope."
Zhang Xiaochi's face was solemn, once the war started, it was impossible for Qingwa Town to stay out of the situation, so he had to care about the enemy's situation.
"Xiaochi, don't worry, we have made a lot of preparations in the border area, as long as the enemy moves, it can't escape our eyes."
Zhao Qiankun comforted.
Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, then looked down at Li Yongfu, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, and said in a deep voice.
"When will he be disposed of?"
"It's exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to be executed."
Zhao Hongde looked outside, and then arranged for two knife and axe men to drag Li Yongfu out of the barracks.
"Killing him can be regarded as sacrificing the flag for our army!"
Li Yongfu couldn't move, only a pair of frightened eyes kept turning, and he couldn't speak, so he could only call for help through his eyes at this time.
Treating the enemy, Zhang Xiaochi is not a soft-hearted character, directly ignoring the other party's eyes begging for mercy, and indifferently watching the knife and axe hand behead Li Yongfu.
Looking at the blood rushing to the sky from the broken neck, Zhang Xiaochi didn't even blink his eyelids.
"Xiaochi, how do I feel that you are more experienced than me?"
On the side, Zhao Qiankun suddenly asked.
"Maybe I've killed too many beasts in the mountains, so I'm not surprised by this."
Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly.
"Let's set up tents."
The three of them returned to the camp, and Zhang Xiaochi learned about the situation of Jinguo's plan to invade, and then also put forward some suggestions of his own.
After all, he came out of the special operations forces before he crossed, and he had quite a lot of experience in fighting the enemy, and he made one or two suggestions casually, which they had never heard of Zhao Hongde.
"Uncle, Brother Zhao, I think the first thing we should pay attention to when we carry out the assassination mission is to be fast."
"How?"
"Enter quickly, assassinate quickly, and retreat quickly."
Zhao Hongde had a little more interest on his face, looked at Zhang Xiaochi with interest, and asked.
"Tell me about it."
"To enter and retreat quickly, we must first detect the best route to facilitate the infiltration and completion of the mission retreat, and as for the fast assassination, we need portable and powerful weapons."
Zhang Xiaochi replied.
"The first two can be solved, but the portable and powerful weapons are nothing but bows and arrows."
"Uncle, I have another weapon."
Zhang Xiaochi didn't plan to hide the bow and crossbow, now Qingwa Town could be affected by the war at any time, in order to be able to repel the Jin army, he planned to contribute the bow and crossbow.
