Zhao Tuo looked at Li Xin expectantly.

The tent was quiet, and from time to time there was a night breeze outside the tent, making a "whirring" chirp.

The smile on Li Xin's face disappeared, and he raised his head, his eyes staring at Zhao Tuo, and the softness in his eyes didn't know when to leave.

He didn't comment on Zhao Tuo's opinion, but said indifferently: "You don't want me to raid Shouchun." ”

Li Xin was very smart and sensitive, and he immediately heard the true meaning of this so-called strategy.

Zhao Tuo said it wildly, and the core was just to change his established strategy.

Seeing that the idea was broken by Li Xin, Zhao Tuo did not deny it, and nodded silently.

"Although you Zhao Tuo echoed me, he actually agreed with Mengwu and Xinwu's style of play, thinking that it was unwise for me to raid Shouchun, and if I was not careful, I would be in danger of overthrowing the army. You don't want me to go, but you are very smart and will not directly admonish me like Xin Wu, but want to persuade me to change in this roundabout way. ”

Li Xin said lightly, a look of disappointment welled up in his eyes.

"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, you don't understand me after all. You people always have to think about this risk, that risk. But war, how can there be so much to consider. Fighters, fleeting. ”

"In the past, Wu'an Jun attacked Chu, and he also led tens of thousands of troops, and the lone army went deep into the hinterland of Chu, without bringing grain, only plundering the grain and grass of the Chu people to supply military supplies. He crossed all the way, demolished the bridge behind him, burned the boats that crossed the river, cut off his own back road, and made the soldiers have an indomitable determination to die, so that they could break Yan in one fell swoop, and died in World War II, frightening the Chu people to move the capital and flee eastward, and built an immortal miracle. ”

"If Wu Anjun was also as fearful as you were back then, then my Qin State is still entangled with the Chu people in Nanjun, how can I get to the point where I swallow the world today."

Zhao Tuo understood.

Li Xin was completely lost in the myth of Wu Anjun's past, and he accepted the Bai family's daughter, and he had already compared himself with Bai Qi, and his so-called strategy of attacking Shouchun was actually a copy of the "heart-digging tactics" used by Bai Qi to attack Chu back then.

It's just that he Li Xin, can he really be compared to Bai Qi?

"Last year in Yandi, you offered the strategy of interception and killing in Liaoxi, and all the generals thought it was too risky and rash, but I finally agreed, not how much I believed in your strategy at that time. It's your brave momentum that I admire, and in you, I see my former self. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that you are different from me after all." In this battle, since I have set the strategy of raiding Shouchun, I will not change. Your strategy is good, but it's not what I want, you go back. ”

After speaking, Li Xin lowered his head and stared at the wooden case stacked with military intelligence slips in a daze.

There was silence in the tent.

After a while, Li Xin raised his head and saw that Zhao Tuo still hadn't left, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "What, do you still want to persuade again?" ”

Although the young man in front of him is deeply liked by him, if he wants to use this to gain an inch and try to change his established strategy, then Li Xin will never indulge the other party, and he will definitely reprimand him.

However, to Li Xin's surprise, Zhao Tuo's next words surprised him.

"The general misunderstood me."

"Misunderstanding?"

"The reason why I don't want the general to go to Shouchun is because in our army, I am afraid that someone has already leaked the military information to the Chu army, so the general's trip is tantamount to going deep into Tiger Mountain!"

Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and spoke.

Since the clever persuasion is useless, if he Zhao Tuo still wants to save Li Xin, he can only open the skylight and say bright words, and directly come to a fierce news to see if he can scare Li Xin.

Sure enough, hearing this, Li Xinnon's dark eyebrows wrinkled together.

"Are you saying that there is a traitor in my Qin army?"

Zhao Tuo nodded.

Li Xin asked: "Before I left Huaiyang, only Meng Wu and the generals who participated in the military discussion knew about it. After going on the road, although many generals of this army knew the purpose of the trip, they rushed all the way down and did not have the opportunity to deliver the news. So when you say that there are traitors in the army, do you mean that there are people under Mengwu who have defected to the enemy? ”

Li Xin's expression became solemn, if there was really a person at the level of a general who defected to the Chu State, it would definitely be a big scandal, and it would have a great impact on the war.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "It's not a general." ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he reacted. His eyes widened, and a large patch of blood began to appear on his face.

"Zhao Tuo!"

Li Xin took the case, because of the great force, the slips stacked on the case were smashed and flew out.

He roared angrily: "Okay, you Zhao Tuo, you dare to doubt the prince!" You are so bold, do you know that the false accuser in the Qin State is guilty of it, you are looking for death! ”

Zhao Tuo's expression was calm, he naturally knew that Qin Lu's punishment of false accusers was very cruel, if Changping Jun did not rebel in the end, as long as the matter was stabbed, then he Zhao Tuo would accept the punishment of treason after the war. Punishments such as beheading and splitting the car will never be less, and even the title of the right chief cannot save his life.

So just now, Zhao Tuo was taking a big risk, if it weren't for seeing that other methods had lost their effectiveness, he would not have been able to say such things in front of Li Xin, trying to make the final redemption.

Li Xin's kindness to him is worthy of Zhao Tuo's reciprocation.

"Before I left, I went to Huaiyang to visit the Marquis of Huan, and I happened to see a Chu person in the city coming out of the Changping Jun's mansion, and his behavior was very sneaky, especially after seeing me, he fled to the alley in a panic, in my opinion, there is definitely something wrong with this person."

Zhao Tuo said calmly, now that they are far away from Huaiyang, no matter what they say, it is difficult to find evidence, and when he asked to see Huan Zhao in Huaiyang City, he did pass outside the Changping Jun's mansion.

Li Xin also calmed down at this time.

"Who else sees? Have you ever seen those short-handed soldiers? ”

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "I only glanced at it by chance, and the man ran into the alley in a panic, and the soldiers probably didn't see it." ”

Li Xin sneered.

"Let's not talk about whether there is really such a person sneakily entering and leaving the prince's mansion, even if there is, what is the connection with the prince's leakage of military information? So you, Zhao Tuo, are just making false accusations against the prince without evidence. ”

"But Changping Jun is the son of the king of Chu, and now we are fighting against Chu again, and it is the Sheji of Chu that is destroyed, at this time, we must guard against it!" Zhao Tuo gritted his teeth and said, "If Changping Jun really reveals the general's marching plan, then the road ahead is a trap. It is better for the general to temporarily change his strategy, so that he can surprise the Chu army and avoid danger. The matter of military struggle is a matter of life and death, not afraid of 10,000, just in case! ”

Li Xin's eyes widened and he reprimanded, "Ridiculous! You, Zhao Tuo, based on the fact that the prince and the marquis have the blood of the Chu State, speculated that the prince would leak the military information to the Chu people. It's ridiculous! Although the prince is the son of the king of Chu, he is also the bloodline of my Qin royal family, and he is a Qin person who was born and grew up in the Qin country since childhood! The prince has been the prime minister of my Qin State for nearly ten years, and the king trusts him to reuse him, how can the prince have the intention of betraying my Qin State! ”

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

"I, Li Xin, believe in the prince!"

Li Xin said categorically, and Changpingjun's gentle and kind smile appeared in his mind.

How can such a noble elder who does his best for the country, treats people kindly, and speaks like a spring breeze, how can he be a traitor in the army.

Zhao Tuo really couldn't come up with strong evidence to prove that Changping Jun would betray, so he could only plead with a pleading face and hissed: "Please believe me once, the general." If Zhao Tuo's judgment is wrong, Zhao Tuo is willing to suffer any punishment, general, please believe ......"

"Zhao Tuo, don't say more. I would have acted as if nothing had happened today. You go out, immediately. ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the tent and gave the order to evict the guests.

Zhao Tuo glanced at Li Xin, and saw that his eyes were cold and his face was pale, and he knew that there was no room for turning around this matter.

His exhortations failed.

Zhao Tuo got up and bowed to Li Xin again.

"General, Zhao Tuo is greedy, there is still a request, and please ask the general to fulfill it."

Li Xin did not speak.

"Please allow me to act alone, and Zhao Tuo will do his best to repay him."

Zhao Tuo kowtowed to the ground.

Looking at Zhao Tuo who was lying on the ground begging for each other, Li Xin's eyes were a little wandering, and in a trance, he thought of the young man in front of him who was in high spirits and offered him a strategy to intercept and kill.

Times have changed, and people's hearts have changed.

For a long time, Li Xin sighed faintly.

"Go out, you don't have to go to Shouchun with me tomorrow."

"Zhao Tuo, this is the last time, you can do it yourself after today."

"General Xie."

Zhao Tuo looked up and saw that Li Xin did not look at him, but looked sideways at the wooden frame where the axe was placed not far away.

Zhao Tuo knew that Li Xin's words just now had exhausted his friendship with him.

Between the two of them, an extremely deep rift developed.

No matter what the outcome is, there will be no going back.

In the military tent, the candle flame flickered.

Under the dim and swaying light, Li Xin's young face was shrouded in shadows, and his thin lips were pursed, showing the unrest in his heart.

"I hope the general can take what Zhao Tuo just said to heart."

"Zhao Tuo, say goodbye."

Li Xin did not respond, his eyes were still fixed on the axe on the wooden frame.

Zhao Tuo sighed lightly, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Silence returned to the tent.

After a long time, Li Xin suddenly jumped up, grabbed the axe, raised it high, and then slashed it the wooden frame.

Broken wood scattered all over the ground.

"Zhao Tuo!"

"Even you did this to me!"

Li Xin's eyes were red and he let out a low roar.

"Why do you all have to question my strategy!"

"You Zhao Tuo is my confidant and sibling, why do you want to do this to me!"

"Zhao Tuo, Meng Wu, Xin Wu...... Wait and see. I, Li Xin, will definitely break the capital of Chu, capture the king of Chu, and let you know who is right! ”

"And the prince, I, Li Xin, believe that he will never betray the Qin State!"

Li Xin's whispers echoed in the tent.

Outside the tent, the night was dark, the stars and moon in the sky were covered by a dark cloud, and the heavens and the earth were swallowed up by darkness.

Only the torches burning in the barracks still illuminate Zhao Tuo's future.

"Zhao Junhou."

The short soldiers guarding the door saw Zhao Tuo come out and hurriedly greeted.

Zhao Tuo nodded, couldn't help but look back, and looked at the big tent of the coach behind him. There, most of it was shrouded in darkness.

"General Li, take care."

Zhao Tuo muttered, his eyes a little moist.

In history, Li Xin's war with Chu, although he suffered a heavy defeat, his life was unhindered and he returned to Qin alive.

However, in today's time and space, the historical process has long been disrupted by Zhao Tuo, and the battle of Chu has been advanced, and Li Xin's strategy of cutting Chu has also changed.

On the battlefield, life and death are only in a moment.

Every change brings unpredictable results.

In the past, the Qin army attacked Zhao, and the general of the Qin State, Huan Qi, was on the battlefield and was beheaded by Li Mu.

Even a general of Huan Qi's level is at risk of dying in battle, let alone Li Xin, a lone army that has penetrated deep into Chu.

Perhaps this goodbye will never see each other again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo knelt heavily on the ground again, and bowed to Li Xin's handsome tent under the stunned gaze of the surrounding short soldiers.

After a while, he got up and left.

Only a group of stunned soldiers were left, looking at each other.

……

Back to your camp.

Zhao Tuo asked people to invite all the two five hundred lords under his command and the five hundred lords directly under the jurisdiction to come to him.

Shijian, Black Buttocks, Xi Qigu, as well as Zhao Guang, Bai Rong and Zhang He all gathered in Zhao Tuo's tent.

Everyone's desk was filled with meat, as well as slightly cloudy drinks.

"Hehe, the military is really good, and he asked us to come to the tent to eat and drink in the middle of the night."

The black buttocks grinned, and when he sat down, he picked up a roasted dog's leg and nibbled on it.

The rest of the people were sitting upright, staring at Zhao Tuo on the main seat.

Their military waiting, expressionless at the moment, knew that they were in a bad mood at a glance, which was a rare appearance for them.

No one spoke first, and there was silence and depression in the tent, except for the sound of black buttocks tearing dog meat.

But soon, the black buttocks also noticed that something was wrong, and he was busy with his mouth, and the dog leg in his hand was quietly put on the wooden case, and he rubbed his two hands under the wooden case, wiped the oil and water clean, and followed everyone to look at Zhao Tuo.

"Waiter, what's going on?"

Shima asked, he had the best relationship with Zhao Tuo, and he was not afraid of being blamed.

Zhao Tuo glanced at the generals in the tent, and said lightly: "Tomorrow, our army will set off from the camp and will enter the hinterland of Chu State. ”

Hearing this, the black buttocks laughed first and said, "What did the military candidate say, when we went to the battlefield, we were naturally ready to die on the battlefield." The worst result is nothing more than people dying and birds facing the sky, what is there to be afraid of. ”

Shima also smiled: "Follow the army, why be afraid!" ”

Xi Qigu, Zhao Guang, Bai Rong, Zhang He and others glanced at each other and said, "We are not afraid!" ”

In the world of great disputes, wars are frequent, joining the army, fighting on the battlefield, and the matter of life and death is something that everyone has seen for a long time. It's naturally best to be alive, but if you die in battle, it's also a result that has long been accepted.

Zhao Tuo smiled and asked again: "Then you are willing to die for me Zhao Tuo, even if the road ahead is a dead end, I will not regret following." ”

The black buttocks immediately replied: "Then it goes without saying, as long as you Zhao Junhou say a word, even if the front road is full of swords and spears, my black buttocks dare to rush forward with my eyes open!" ”

"The grace of the military candidate, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, and I should die for the military candidate!"

The rest of the generals also bowed their hands and said: "I am willing to die for the army!" ”

Shima stood up and looked at Zhao Tuo fixedly.

He said in a deep voice: "No matter what the road ahead is, as long as you move forward, I will never hesitate, even if it is a lifeless road, I will follow you Zhao Tuo!" ”

"You can do whatever you want. Don't say it's us, there are a lot of people in this camp, as long as you Zhao Junhou say a word, 5,000 people are willing to die for you! ”

"The gentlemen love Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo will never fail the monarchs. Even if the road ahead is treacherous, I will find a way out for you! ”

"Come, drink!"

Zhao Tuo stood up and raised his glass to the generals.

Li Xin made his choice.

He, Zhao Tuo, will also make his own choice.

……

By the second day, the sun had just half of its face on the distant horizon.

Outside Pingyu City, the war horses began to stride, and the wheels rolled slowly.

Li Xin left 500 soldiers to guard the city, and then he personally led 25,000 soldiers and went straight to the east.

The chariots and horses galloped, and the foot soldiers followed, and they were going to raid the sleeping hill two hundred miles away.

Zhao Tuo stood on his chariot and watched the banner of "Mengwu" in the distance fade away, and finally disappeared into the distance, never to be seen again.

He turned his head and looked behind him, the soldiers who were already neatly lined up, each carrying ten days' food.

Those eyes that were mixed with nervousness and anticipation also fell on his Zhao Tuo.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Tuo spoke.

The Guardian harnesses the horses and drives the chariots.

Flags representing military candidates flutter in the air.

Five thousand soldiers silently followed behind the banner.

This time, they were heading south.

Hundreds of miles away, the Huai water is flowing and flowing......
