It's the height of summer.

Hengshan County, Dongyuan City.

This place is a strategic city built when the Zhongshan Kingdom rose in the past, and it is an important fortress for the struggle between the Zhongshan Kingdom and the Zhao State.

It is bordered by the Hu (hū) Tuo River in the north, and the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain in the west, guarding the exit of Taihang, which is an important place to connect Yan and Zhao and control the Central Plains.

But for Zhao Tuo, the city is of greatest significance.

It was the seat of his family.

Dongyuan City, Hengshan County, this name may sound unfamiliar at first glance, but its new name changed by Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty will definitely make people very familiar.

Changshan County, really determined.

This is not only the hometown of Changshan Zhao Zilong, but also the birthplace of his Zhao Tuo.

There was the sound of footsteps behind him.

"General, we have found the old servant named Hiko in the city."

Li Shang walked over and bowed his hand in a low voice.

Zhao Tuo nodded, let Li Shang lead the way, and at the same time ordered the short soldiers to come with 100 gold.

The water of the Hutuo River, the waves crash on the shore, and the waves roll up a thousand weights.

On the vast flat land of the river bank and Dongyuan City, there are continuous Qin army camp tents.

After a long journey, as well as the Qin troops in Hedong, Hanoi, Shangdang and other places that were collected along the way, the Qin army now stationed in the Dongyuan military camp has a full 70,000.

Of the 70,000 men, there were 50,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliaries.

When he sets off tomorrow and conquers Daidi, the county lieutenant of Hengshan County will also recruit local people to provide him with support in terms of grain, grass and baggage.

Zhao Tuo passed all the way, and the generals and soldiers he saw in the barracks all saluted and bowed to each other, looking at the young general with reverence.

After walking to Dongyuan City, the Zhao civilians along the way stared at him with fear or sigh one by one.

"This general of the Qin State is called Zhao Tuo, isn't he the gentleman of the Zhao family who grew up in our Dongyuan in the past?"

"Yes, it's the gentleman of Zuo Si in the past, I saw him when I was a child?"

"I heard that he is very powerful, he fought in the Chu State, and even Xiang Yan, the most powerful general in the Chu State, was not his opponent, and the King of Chu was captured by him. You said if he was so good, if he could help ......"

Hearing this, someone immediately interrupted: "Don't dream, have you forgotten what happened a few years ago?" Zuo Siguo admonished General Li Mu, but was imprisoned and killed by the king, and sent people to our Dongyuan to seal up Zuo Siguo's former residence and arrest this gentleman. If you put such hatred on you, can you bear it? ”

The Zhao people whispered around because they used the local dialect of Dongyuan, and the surrounding Qin troops couldn't understand it, but Zhao Tuo was clear.

Division.

It is the official position of Zhao State, as its name suggests, it is an official who pickets the mistakes of the ministers.

In the past, when King Zhao Wuling was young, he failed to listen to politics, and there were three erudite teachers, and three people were left and right.

Zhao Tuo's father is Zhao Wangqian's Zuo Siguo.

When Qin attacked Zhao, Zhao general Li Mu led his troops to block the Qin army, and Qin general Wang Jian was not an opponent, so he bribed Zhao Xiang Guo Kai and killed Li Mu in a divisive manner.

Zhao Tuo's father was an upright person, and he held the position of Zuo Si, and he had the responsibility of admonishing, so in the main hall of Zhao Palace, he severely reprimanded Zhao Xiang Guo Kai, so that he couldn't raise his head on the spot.

Under the emotion, Zhao Tuo's father even bluntly said Zhao Wangqian, saying that he favored the traitorous minister's mistake in killing good generals, and hoped that Zhao Wangqian could belittle Guo Kai and rehabilitate Li Mu.

As a result, Zhao Tuo's parents were unjustly killed in prison, and the cautious Guo Kai did not give up and sent people to Dongyuan to hunt down Zhao Tuo who was staying here.

Zhao Tuo fled in a hurry, but because Guo Kai's men searched everywhere, he finally hid in the house of this old servant named Yan, and escaped with his life.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo came this time to repay his kindness.

A moment later, Zhao Tuo had stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

An old man in a tattered cloth robe walked out tremblingly when he was called.

Zhao Tuo stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said gently: "My husband saved my life in the past, and I should give back 100 gold to reward my father-in-law for his kindness in the past." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Zhao people who came to watch immediately began to discuss.

"Hundred! That's a whole hundred gold, how many coins you have to convert! ”

"This General Zhao Tuo is really too generous, if Naigong has this hundred gold, then he can't drink and have fun every day, and play all over the female Lu of Dongyuan City."

"Don't dream, the Qin law prohibits us ordinary people from drinking, you dare to drink without a title, you will be punished to death first."

"If you want this hundred gold, why didn't you go to shelter when this gentleman was in trouble?"

The surrounding Zhao people's eyes all lit up one by one, staring at the gold reflecting the sunlight in Qin Jiang's hand, and drooling.

The old servant named Yan had gray hair and was hunched over his waist, and he saw Zhao Tuo standing in front of him, and General Qin holding a hundred gold in his hand behind him

He shook his head and said: "The gentleman can have today's glory, not the power of the old decay, and the old decay dares to accept such a heavy gold." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled: "If there was no old man's help in the past, Ancan have today's Zhao Tuo." Zhao Tuo's life is not worth this hundred gold. ”

Yan lowered his head and said, "It was because of Zuo Si's loyalty that he took the risk of hiding the gentleman. However, I recently heard that the gentleman wants to lead the Qin army and go north to destroy the Daihu? If Zuo Si heard about it, I don't know what he thinks in his heart? ”

Zhao Tuo understood.

He looked deeply at the white-haired old servant in front of him, this fruit was a loyal and righteous man, otherwise he would not have risked saving him in the past.

Faced with questioning, Zhao Tuo said calmly: "My father has been loyal to the Zhao family, Zhao Qian has no way, the trust is heavy and traitorous Guo Kai, and the cruelty kills the loyal and good, and finally the death of the Zhao family." In this regard, my family is worthy of Zhao. As for the matter of replacing the land, didn't the old man hear that they secretly made enemies and colluded with the Huns? ”

"My surname is Zhao, and I am fierce in the world. In the past, the King of Wuling subdued the powerful country, broke the Beihu, and opened up countless lands, how heroic he was, if he heard that Zhao Jia colluded with the former enemy of the Xiongnu today, how would he feel? ”

At this point, Zhao Tuo's voice became louder.

"Zhao and Qin are the same ancestral bloodline. The battle of Qin and Zhao, it was a dispute between brothers surnamed Ying, and it was a civil war in the country of Zhuxia Guan. And colluding with the Huns, but it is a revenge for brothers, such behavior, can you wait for Zhao people to endure it? ”

Zhao Tuo said it loudly in Zhao this time, so that the local Zhao people watching around listened to it, and suddenly changed color one by one.

Qin and Zhao are enemies, and the Xiongnu and Zhao are also enemies!

When Qin destroyed Zhao, the Zhao people, who had a deep hatred for Qin, either died in battle and martyred, or went north to defect to Zhao Jia.

The remaining Zhao people, after several years, mostly accepted the rule of the Qin people.

Soon after the Qin State first established the Zhao land, although the Qin law was also implemented, because of the lack of Qin officials and the need for a large number of manpower to conquer Yan, Wei, Chu and other countries, the rule in Zhao actually relied on the local powerful clans, and the Qin law was far less strict than that of Guanzhong, which was easier for the Zhao people to accept.

Therefore, for these Zhao people, at least the life of the past few years has not changed much, and even because this place is no longer affected by the war, it is much more stable than during the reign of Zhao.

Compared with the Qin people, the Xiongnu Hu people in the north made these Zhao people even more fearful.

Qin, Zhao, Yan and the three kingdoms are bordered by the Xiongnu, among which the war between the Zhao State and the Xiongnu is the most intense, although there are more than ten years ago Li Mu broke the Xiongnu 100,000 horsemen, but in the Yuhu War, there are also many Zhao people who died in the hands of the Xiongnu.

Therefore, when I heard what Zhao Tuo said, when the northern Dai Wangjia colluded with the Xiongnu, that blood surged up at once.

Immediately, a Zhao person shouted: "Zhao Jia colluded with the Huns and became a descendant of the Zhao family in vain!" ”

"I, Zhao people, would rather be Qin people, and never be with the Huns!"

……

In the midst of a burst of shouts, Zhao Tuo looked at Yan in front of him and said, "From the time Zhao Qian unjustly killed Li Mu, the Zhao family has already died, and this is an irreversible thing. This time, I just follow the destiny of heaven, let the world be one, and there will be no more war among the common people. ”

"And I am even more for the glory of Zhuxia, crusading against the rebellion of the Hu people in collusion, which is not much different from the things of Qi Huan and King Wenzun of Jin in the past."

The old servant named Yan was silent, he didn't really understand what Qi Huan and Jin Wen were in Zhao Tuo's words. But Dai Wang Jia colluded with the Hu people, and words such as respecting the king and revering the king still touched him a lot.

After a long time, Yan arched his hand to Zhao Tuo and said: "What the gentleman said is true, and those who collude with the Huns are even more hateful." ”

Zhao Tuo smiled, and the Li Shang behind him immediately took the hundred gold into the room behind Yan and put it down, this time, Yan did not refuse again.

Zhao Tuo turned around and looked at the Zhao people around him who were full of righteous indignation when they heard that Zhao Jia had colluded with the Huns, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

This time, the righteousness is mine!

After the Qin army stayed in Dongyuan City for a short time, they immediately set off to the north, crossed the Hutuo River and crossed the Heng Mountain, shuttled all the way from the narrow road of the Taihang Mountains, and officially entered the Daidi, which was less than a hundred miles away from the target of this trip, and it was only a three-day journey.

In the city.

After finding out the strength and whereabouts of the Qin army.

Dai Wang Jia finally made a decision.

"The Xiongnu are only greedy and arrogant, and the Hu people have no faith, so they cannot be easily believed for the time being. The widow should carry out Chen Jun's plan and seek Zhao Tuo first. ”

"There is a brother of the Zhao Tuo clan in Daicheng Zhao said, I am willing to be a dead soldier."

Zhao said that he pretended to betray the widow and surrendered to Zhao Tuo, and said that he could inform him of the reality of the city. Zhao said that he was a blood relative of Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo would definitely not be searched for vigilance. There is also a temptation of the virtual reality of the city, and Zhao Tuo will definitely let Zhao Shuo get closer. ”

"At that time, once you get close to Zhao Tuo's body, Zhao Shuo can pull out the dagger of Mrs. Xu hidden on his body and end Zhao Tuo's life."

"As soon as Zhao Tuo dies, the Qin army will be leaderless, and it will be in chaos, and the widows will take the opportunity to lead the army to raid, and they will be able to break it!"

"In this way, my army will win!"

Thank you Xinxin Baoma's league leader for rewarding, I am very honored, and I will add ten more thanks in the follow-up. There was a difference of 27 more before, and 3 more were added from the 23rd to the 29th, so now there is a difference of 34 more. Continue to add at a constant speed.

"Historical Records: Zhao Shijia": "Wuling Wang Shao, failed to listen to politics, three erudite divisions, and three left and right divisions. ”
