On the road to Daicheng, several war horses galloped.

"Ofan, why don't we follow the king to pursue the Qin army, but return to the city."

In the strong wind blowing in his face, Gongsun Xin still couldn't help but wonder in his heart and spoke loudly.

When Dai Wang Jia and Chen Yu received the retreat of the Qin army and decided to attack and pursue, Zhang Liang found an excuse not to follow, but instead drove his horse north after the Dai army left.

Although Gongsun Xin fell in love with Chen Yu's scheme, he still followed Zhang Liang to the north because of his relationship with the Korean nobles.

In the face of inquiry, Zhang Liang's face was expressionless.

After a while, he reined in and slowed down.

Several other galloping horses were also pulled by the horseman, and they slowed down.

Zhang Liang sighed: "I think about Zhao Tuo's deeds, and I feel that things will not be as simple as Chen Yu thought. ”

"The earliest rumor about Zhao Tuo that circulates today is that when the Qin army attacked Yan, he suggested to Li Xin that he should give up attacking Juyongsai and make a detour to Liaoxi to intercept the father and son of King Yan. At that time, King Yan and others were still in Shanggu, Yuyang and other places behind Juyong, and most people would think that the Yan people would gather troops to resist in the two counties, who would have thought that King Yan would turn around and run to Liaodong? ”

But Zhao Tuo thought of it, and really intercepted the father and son of King Yan in Liaoxi, although King Yan escaped, but the entire Yan State Secretary fell into the hands of the Qin army, and the Yan State was declared extinct. It can be said that without Zhao Tuo, King Yan's father and son would definitely be able to escape to Liaodong smoothly, and then resist the Qin army with the help of that place. Yan Guo died in the hands of Zhao Tuo! ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Xin and several people around him were stunned.

Zhang Liang continued: "Later, when Wei was destroyed, Zhao Tuo followed Wei Bao...... In the end, even Xiong Qi, the king of Chu, who fled to Yuedi, was killed by him! ”

"Yan Dan, Wei Bao, Wei Qi, Zhaoping, Tian Chong, Xiang Qu, Xiang Yan, Chu King Xiong Qi ......"

Zhang Liang counted the achievements of Qin General Zhao Tuo, and in the end, every time he counted a name, his voice trembled a point.

Gongsun Xin and the others' faces were already pale.

"So many heroes of the Six Kingdoms were all defeated in the hands of Zhao Tuo. Although this son is young, he can be called a famous general in the world, and his wisdom is far beyond ordinary people, such a character, do you think it is really so easy to be assassinated by Chen Yu? ”

"Not to mention that Hengyang Jun fell into the hands of the Qin people, plus there are also people from the Qin State in the Dai City, Zhao Tuo must know that we are here. I, Zhang Liang, will forget it, but I am a nobody, and I will not be put in the eyes of him Zhao Tuo. ”

But Chen Yu is famous, he assassinated the Qin envoy in Qingyang, Qi Xiang in Linzi, and the lieutenant of Qin in Dongjun, and his actions can be called rampant. With such a character who specializes in assassination in Daidi, do you think Zhao Tuo will be on guard? ”

"And the person sent to assassinate Zhao Tuo this time is just a teenager in his teens, even if he has the courage to assassinate with his blood, but can he really take the opportunity without changing color? As long as there is any flaw, how can a wise person like Zhao Tuo ignore it. ”

Zhang Liang sighed: "Therefore, after thinking about it, I think that most of the assassinations this time will fail, and with that Zhao Tuo's strategy, he will definitely plan and deliberately lead the army to retreat and trap the army." ”

When they heard this, the whole body of the people shuddered.

Gongsun Xin even said: "In this case, why didn't the ovary make a statement to the king." ”

Zhang Liang was speechless, and his long narrow eyes stared at Gongsun Xin.

Gongsun Xin immediately remembered that he had echoed Chen Yu's words to take the initiative, and said with a blushing face: "According to what the ovary said, since the Dai army will fail, then we went to Dai Cheng to ask the Dai Xiang to send troops to meet it?" ”

"Answer?"

Zhang Liang snorted: "What is there to deal with, the defeat of the Dai army has been decided, and going out of the city to receive it is just easier to be broken by the Qin army." I went to Daicheng this time, just to remind the Prime Minister to prepare for the Qin army's attack on the city, and to report the courtesy during this time. Then I took the lunch and left. ”

Gongsun Xin was stunned and said, "The ovary is leaving, where do you want to go?" Even if the Dai army is defeated, as long as the Dai Wang still exists, we can still connect with the Xiongnu through the Yan King and use the power of the Hu people to fight to the death against the Qin army! ”

Zhang Liang smiled.

After several years of restoration operations, he has realized that the six countries of Shandong are absolutely unable to compete with the Qin army militarily, whether it is the quality of soldiers at the bottom or the quality of generals at the top, the six countries together are not as strong as Qin.

Therefore, he knew very well that this generation of the country would be destroyed, and even if the Xiongnu were involved, it would be absolutely impossible to win the Qin army under the leadership of Zhao Tuo.

Now that the end is already doomed, why would a smart person do useless work here and put himself in danger?

"Unless there is a problem within the Qin State, we will not be able to defeat it from the battlefield, let alone restore the country. The best way to make the Qin State have problems is to let the King of Qin die! ”

A cold light erupted in Zhang Liang's eyes.

"Chen Yu's way of assassination is indeed meritorious. As long as the assassination is successful, the strength of one person can even exceed the ability of thousands of troops. It's just that his Chen Yu's vision is too small, is it enough to just be a Qin envoy, Qi Xiang, and a county lieutenant? Can even assassinate Zhao Tuo be satisfied? ”

"No, if you want to assassinate, you should assassinate the king of Qin!"

Zhang Liang lowered his head and looked at his slender fingers.

"I should be incognito, walk the world, seek wrestlers, and assassinate the King of Qin!"

……

Stay until dusk.

Several horses galloped towards Daicheng.

"Open the door, I'm the acting king!"

Dai Wang Jia ignored his manners and roared.

The city gate was not opened, and there was a large bamboo basket tied to the rope on the city wall to be lowered, and everyone did not hesitate, and immediately abandoned their horses to make a basket and was hung up on the city wall, leaving only a few tired war horses to collapse under the city.

On behalf of Wang Jiafa crown was scraped off by a tree branch on the road, at this moment the cloak was scattered, looking embarrassed, as soon as he went up to the city wall, he shouted at Zhao Jing, the prime minister who greeted him.

"The Qin army is coming, hurry up and prepare for the imperial guard!"

Chen Yu followed up to the wall, and saw that all kinds of city defense facilities had already been placed on the city wall, and the guards of the army were even more fully armed, ready for battle, and they looked like they had been prepared for a long time.

He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You are waiting for such a thing, do you know that the Qin army is chasing us?" ”

Zhao Jing looked at Dai Wangjia and Chen Yu and the others who looked miserable in front of him, and thought that few of the more than 10,000 sons who had followed Dai Wangjia out before had returned, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

He wept and said: "Zhang Zifang came to inform him that this time the king sent someone to assassinate Zhao Tuo, and there is a possibility that the Qin people have a plan. Or we will be defeated, let us prepare for defense in advance, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Qin people to seize the city. ”

Hearing this, Dai Wang Jia and Chen Yu were stunned.

"I regret not listening to the plan of the ovary!"

Dai Wang Jia looked up to the sky and sighed.

Chen Yu's face was blue and white for a while, and he asked, "What about Zhang Liang?" ”

Zhao Jing wiped away the tears on his face and whispered, "After reminding us to be on guard, he and those Koreans left the city and disappeared. ”

Chen Yu gritted his teeth, his face flushed.

At this time, the old Yan Wangxi walked on the city wall.

He glanced at Dai Wang Jia with disdain, and sneered: "Dai Wang didn't listen to Lone's suggestion and let tens of thousands of soldiers die at the hands of the Qin people, and now the Qin army is about to come to the city, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, Dai Wang Jia's face was pale.

In particular, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and it was actually the Qin army's chariot that was chasing all the way that was about to arrive.

Dai Wang Jia said urgently: "According to King Yan's opinion, what should the widow do now?" ”

King Yan smiled happily and spewed out a mouthful full of yogurt.

"There are still several cities in the north of the city, if the king of the city goes with the lonely north, searches for soldiers along the way, can get tens of thousands of warriors, and then agrees to the conditions proposed by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the Huns join forces together, and fight the Qin army together, there may not be no chance of victory!"

"The king shall not be! The Xiongnu are greedy and untrustworthy, they are the enemies of my Zhao people for generations, how can the king collude with the Xiongnu! ”

On the city wall, there were young people from the Zhao clan shouting.

"Of course, the Qin army is our enemy, and the Xiongnu are also our enemies! What they have done in Daicheng these days has made us angry, and if the king hadn't stopped it, he would have fought with them a long time ago! ”

A call, a crowd responds.

King Yan was happy to go south this time, and a thousand Hun cavalry followed.

On the first day, these Huns were intimidated by the Dai army, and they were honest, but after that, they were bold, and they were stationed outside the city, often harassing the nearby Dai villages, and even looting.

Dai Wang Jia faced the danger of the Qin army and did not want to turn against the Huns, so he kept suppressing the young people in the city who were angry about it.

But it also made these young people of the Zhao family, who were originally disgusted with Hu people, more and more angry, and now they have completely exploded.

The young Zhao Xie stood in the crowd, his blood and qi surging, and then shouted: "We would rather defend Daicheng to the death than join forces with the Huns!" ”

"We'd rather fight to the death with the Qin army!"

Listening to the enthusiastic cries of the young people of the Zhao family, Yan Wangxi stared at Dai Wang Jia, and said with pity: "The Qin army has arrived in Daicheng, and the lone general will go north with the protection of the Hun cavalry. ”

Dai Wangjia's face became more and more ugly, but he still hesitated.

At this time, Chen Yu said in a low voice: "Great King, the Qin army chariots and cavalry are coming, if we follow the Hun cavalry to the north, they will definitely only attack the city and will not pursue." But if you hesitate any longer, when the Qin army's foot soldiers catch up and surround the city, then there will be no chance to escape. ”

King Yan turned around and said: "Daicheng is dead, the lonely will go, and Daiwang has already made a decision." ”

Seeing King Yan's behavior, listening to Chen Yu's advice, and thinking that if the Qin army broke Daicheng, he would become a prisoner and be escorted to Xianyang, Dai Wangjia couldn't help but tremble.

He spoke in the expectant eyes of many young people of the Zhao family.

"King Yan waits, the widow will go together."

……

In the south of the city, thousands of Qin military chariots rushed to attack, and saw that the city gate was closed, and the city wall was full of strong bows and crossbows, and the crowds were crowded, and at a glance, they knew that they had already taken precautions.

The Qin army knew that it was hopeless to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, so they stopped outside the city.

"General Meng, the north gate of Daicheng is opened, and about 1,000 Hu soldiers and horses and 2,000 Dai troops have left, are we in pursuit?"

Su Jiao galloped over and told Meng Tian, who was leading the chariot in pursuit.

Meng Tian frowned, shook his head and said, "We are pursuing for a long time, and the horses are tired, so it is not appropriate to bypass Daicheng to pursue that army and horses." To be on the safe side, we still have to wait for the foot soldiers to come up and take down Daicheng first. ”
