Pingyi.

It is a small city located south of Takayanagi and north of the water control.

Since Zhao Tuo learned that the Xiongnu had gone south, he immediately led his army to cross the water and march to Pingyi, so as not to plunder the city by the Huns.

The people in Pingyi City, after hearing the news of the fiasco of the Dai army and the capture of the Dai Wang, immediately opened the city gate and surrendered to the Qin army, and they were very cooperative.

Now outside the city of Pingyi, the black flag is flying, and the Qin military camp is endless.

After the arrival of the rear army led by Zhao Guang, there were 45,000 Qin soldiers and about 10,000 auxiliary soldiers in the military camp outside the city.

The remaining soldiers were stationed in Daicheng, Anyang and other cities to ensure local security and the logistics of the Qin army.

In the manager's tent, Zhao Tuo was looking at the slip on the eucalyptus.

This is the report of Meng Tian's capture and military exploits, which will be verified by military judges at all levels and sent to him, the chief general, for final confirmation.

When Zhao Tuo also confirms that it is correct, the low-level titles can be issued, and the senior titles above the five doctors need to be sent to Xianyang, and the lord's lieutenant and state lieutenant will handle it.

"Meng Tian captured the acting king Zhao Jia and the Yan State Taifu Juwu this time, plus the final destruction of the country, it is enough for him to be promoted to the left guard, and Su Jiao is no problem to be promoted to the left chief this time."

"It's a pity, let the Yan King run away, otherwise Su Jiao will capture the two kings in a row, and the king will not be happy, so that he will be promoted to the right chief."

Zhao Tuo sighed regretfully, and after confirming that the meritorious service was correct, he handed it over to Lishang on the side and asked him to send someone thousands of miles to send back to Xianyang urgently.

This is not only to show merit to the soldiers, but also to make the king happy, so that he can know the speed of his victory in this battle.

Just when the matter was settled, a short soldier reported at the door: "General, the king of that generation has woken up and is shouting to see the general." ”

"Zhao Jia wants to see me?"

Zhao Tuo frowned.

After Dai Wangjia was kicked out of the car by Yan Wangxi, he not only fell on the spot and his face was covered with blood, but also broke his leg by the galloping horse's hooves, and his injuries were not light, and now he is placed in Pingyi City to recuperate.

After thinking about it, Zhao Tuo still got up and went to see the acting king.

In a mansion in Pingyi City.

The smell of herbs and gore wafted through the room.

Zhao Tuo walked in, and at a glance, he saw a man lying on the couch, about thirty years old, with a somewhat pale face.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look.

Facing Zhao Tuo's eyes.

Dai Wang Jia.

"Zhao Tuo has seen the acting king."

Zhao Tuo spoke calmly and bowed.

Dai Wang Jia looked at Zhao Tuo directly.

"You're really young, you're only nineteen years old, aren't you?"

Zhao Tuo nodded.

Dai Wang Jia's expression became complicated, and he said: "I have heard of your achievements, cutting Yan to destroy Wei, and entering Jingchu twice. In a battle against the water, defeated Chu Sima, broke Xiang Qu and Xiang Yan, and captured the king of Chu in Yuedi, what you did can be called a famous general in the world. But you, Zhao Tuo, are also a descendant of my Zhao family, why do you want to help the Qin people after being loyal to you? Do you know Qin Zhao's feud! ”

Before Zhao Tuo came, he guessed that Dai Wang Jia would say these words, and said: "There is no mediocre king in the Qin State, nor is there a traitorous minister, let alone the hatred of killing my parents. And the king of Qin is also my relative surnamed Ying, why can't I help Qin? ”

Hearing this, blood appeared on Dai Wang Jia's pale face.

All the resentment in his heart welled up, and he roared: "You are right, it is not your fault that you went to the Qin State. It was Zhao Qian's fool who favored Guo Kai and killed your father, and you should go to Qin State. Damn, Zhao Qian took away the Zhao Kingdom that belonged to me! ”

Dai Wang Jia raised his head again, stared at Zhao Tuo hopefully, and asked, "If my throne had not been taken away by Zhao Qian, and I had not killed your parents, you Zhao Tuo would definitely help me." With you and Wu Anjun joining forces, the Qin people will definitely not be able to destroy my Zhao State! ”

Zhao Tuo glanced at him with pity.

This is another bloody affair of the abolition of the young and the young.

Zhao Jia

He is the eldest son of King Zhao Mourning Xiang.

He was originally the crown prince of Zhao and the rightful successor of King Zhao.

It's a pity that his father, King Zhao Mourning, later favored a daughter, and made her the queen, giving birth to a son Zhao Qian.

The son relied on his mother's nobility, and King Zhao Mourning Xiang abolished Zhao Jia's crown prince and renamed Zhao Qian as the crown prince.

Later, he became the favored minister Guo Kai, unjustly killed Wu Anjun Li Mu, and finally died Zhao Wangqian.

So Zhao Jia has always been obsessed, and now he has been captured and become a prisoner of the Qin people, and in the face of Zhao Tuo, he still remembers his position as the king of Zhao that was taken away.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Qin and the world are the general trend, even if the acting king can succeed Zhao Jun in the past, it is just to replace Zhao Qian's position." ”

At the end of the Warring States Period, the Qin State was far superior to the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in terms of its territorial strength, monarchs, ministers, generals, and soldiers.

In the past, the six countries had such famous generals as Xinling Jun and Chun Shenjun, but they couldn't compete with Qin, not to mention the remaining group of crooked melons and cracked dates, what would they do to fight with Qin?

With that, Zhao Tuo turned around and left.

Listening to Zhao Tuo's ruthless words.

Zhao Jia said angrily: "Zhao Tuo, you are a descendant of the Zhao family in vain!" ”

Zhao Tuo stopped and turned around.

He said coldly: "If it is really a descendant of the Zhao family, he will not agree to sacrifice the land of Zhuxia and the people of the Zhao family to the Huns." Not to mention helping that group of barbarians to plunder their own people and cities, at this point, is it also worthy of being called the descendants of the Zhao family? ”

Zhao Jia trembled, thinking of the scene when he was in Anyang, he saw those Huns looting his own people, but he didn't dare to stop it, he couldn't help but blush, bowed his head and said nothing.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and walked out the door.

When he came to see Zhao Jia this time, he completely broke off the connection with the former Zhao State.

The country of the Zhao family died at the hands of his Zhao Tuo.

I think there will be many people who will criticize him with this in the future.

said that he was a descendant of the Zhao family, but he personally destroyed the Zhao family and betrayed his ancestors.

Zhao Tuo walked outside the house and looked up to see the sun shining in the sky, falling on his face, and warmth grew.

People in this era are destined to not many people can understand him.

Even in later generations, there will definitely be people who will criticize him for this.

But Zhao Tuo has no regrets.

He was a staunch defender of the "great unification."

In his eyes, the world of Kyushu must be unified.

"Only reunification is the true righteousness!"

"As for the disasters that may occur in the future, I will do my best to change them."

Zhao Tuo muttered to himself in a low voice, once again strengthening his belief.

……

After meeting Zhao Jia and coming out of Pingyi City, Zhao Tuo learned a gratifying news.

The envoy of Takayanagi's Eoli eats its return!

Zhao Tuo immediately led his cronies to greet him outside the gate.

Several carriages galloped in, and after a few moments they stopped outside the gate.

"Sir is back."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth to greet him, but when he saw Li Shiqi getting up from the carriage, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what's wrong?" ”

"Hey, why is the drunkard's face whiter than the woman's thighs?"

Black Buttocks also asked with wide eyes.

Li Shiqi smiled bitterly, opened his mouth to speak, but only heard a "vomit", and he spewed an unpleasant sour smell at everyone.

"Brother."

Lishang hurriedly got into the car and helped Lishiqi down.

At this time, everyone found out that Lishiqi was limping when he walked, and if it weren't for Lishang's help, I was afraid that he would have to be soft on the ground.

"The mare's milk wine of the Huns...... I'm not an opponent of Gaoyang drunkard. ”

Li Shiqi put his hand on Li Shang's shoulder, walked in front of Zhao Tuo, and sighed.

It turned out that since he drank the cup of mare's milk wine in the tent, it didn't take long for him to feel unwell, vomiting up and down and diarrhea, and on the way back to Pingyi from Takayanagi, he lost it seven or eight times, and the things in his stomach were vomited up earlier, and he was extremely weak.

"Mother, those Huns shouldn't have poisoned the wine, right?"

The black buttocks screamed, and everyone was shocked.

Zhao Tuo was thoughtful, and felt that Lishiqi's symptoms were a bit like lactose intolerance that later generations said.

Perhaps the mare's milk in the Hun wine was not completely decomposed, which made it unbearable. Or it may be diarrhea caused by uncleanliness.

He stopped everyone's panic and asked Lishang to help Lishi eat her and go to the city to rest.

Li Shiqi was also determined, and insisted on reporting the results of the trip to Zhao Tuo before leaving.

After listening to this, Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "Mr. made an agreement with the Huns this time, and brought back Chen Yu, which can be described as a great achievement." In the future, I will ask for credit for my husband, but now I still focus on my body, so go and rest. By the way, drink plenty of hot water. ”

After instructing Li to eat it and let the short soldiers help him to leave, Zhao Tuo's eyes flashed with excitement.

"The Huns really forgot their righteousness, just like the Yue people in the south. All you need is some grain and jewelry to buy the Yan King. As long as King Yan is in hand, he will have no scruples and will be able to play. ”

Zhao Tuo said to the short soldier beside him: "Go to Zhao Guang of the rear army, let him prepare the food and cloth, and buy King Yan back tomorrow." ”

"Yui."

The short soldiers led the order, and the generals were also excited.

Before the breakthrough of Daicheng, there were a lot of pearl and jade cloths in the treasury, which were enough to exchange for the money of King Yan, so this transaction was basically no pressure on the Qin army.

Putting aside the matter of King Yan for the time being, a cold light flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes again.

He thought of the unexpected joy of Lishi's trip.

Chen Yu.

This guy who personally assassinated the envoy of Qin and the Xiangbang of Qi, and also planned to assassinate the county lieutenant Tu Sui, and even assassinated him Zhao Tuo, has long been recorded in the blacklist in his heart by Zhao Tuo.

"I haven't heard that this Chen Yu is proficient in assassination before, is it influenced by me? Or did Sima Qian ignore Chen Yu's deeds when he wrote the book? ”

Zhao Tuo thought to himself and strode forward.

Li Shang had already taken the short soldiers and carried down the tightly bound man in the back car.

Seeing the scene where Chen Yu's hands and feet were together and couldn't move, and he could only hold his head high and glared at himself, Zhao Tuo smiled.

"Are you the famous assassin Chen Yu?"

"Phew!"

Chen Yu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm that had been held for a long time towards Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo reacted in time, and on the side of his body, he dodged away.

"Shaft!"

The generals who followed him, such as Black Buttocks, Li Shang, and Lu Xuan, were suddenly furious.

The black buttocks stepped forward even more irritably, and kicked Chen Yu in the face hard, kicking him to roll around on the ground.

Chen Yu raised his head and spat out a broken tooth mixed with blood.

He roared at Zhao Tuo: "Zhao Tuo, if you kill my brother, I can't wait to eat Er's meat, Sulpi, cut off your head with my own hands!" It's a pity that Zhao said that the widow is useless, if I personally assassinate you, I would have already made you head in a different place! ”

Seeing that Chen Yu was incompetent and furious, Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "The reason why you hate me is because I killed Zhang Er?" ”

"However, Brother Er and I are friends with each other, and they are regarded as life and death. If you Qin soldiers kill my brother, it will be like killing me, and I will do everything to take revenge on you! ”

Friends of the neck?

Zhao Tuo's expression was strange.

Zhang Er Chen Yu is indeed a friend of the neck.

But if he remembers correctly, in history, these two men eventually turned against each other.

Chen Yu also personally led his troops to fight Zhang Er, who was defeated. When Liu Bang recruited Chen Yu, Chen Yu even said something like "Han killed Zhang Er", so that Liu Bang could only forge a Zhang Er's head to show Chen Yu.

Now because of Zhao Tuo's involvement, Zhang Er died early, but it also achieved Chen Yu's "righteousness", which made Zhao Tuo feel very strange.

However, Zhao Tuo thought of hearing from Daicheng that Chen Yu not only planned to assassinate him, but also followed Yan Wangxi to persuade Dai Wangjia to defect to the Huns, and even in the end, he Chen Yu did defect to the Huns, and couldn't help but feel disgust in his heart.

Zhao Tuo said angrily: "You avenge your brother, I have nothing to say." But as a person from Zhuxia, you should not persuade Zhao Jia to defect to the Xiongnu, let alone collude with the Hu people yourself. Gu Xiaojie has no great righteousness, you are Chen Yu, but you are just a small person's ear. ”

"Hahaha, what is collusion with the Hu people, as long as I can avenge Brother Er, kill you Zhao Tuo, and cause damage to the Qin State, what else can I Chen Yu do. It's a pity that those Hu people are short-sighted and sell me for small profits, which fell into the hands of you Zhao Tuo, otherwise what can you do to me? ”

Chen Yu laughed and said: "But even if I, Chen Yu, die today, I am also a hero praised in the world." ”

"I assassinated the Qin envoy and triggered the Qin-Chu War, causing the Qin State to lose 200,000 soldiers and return with a miserable defeat."

"I assassinated Qi Xiang, which led the Qi State to send troops, almost changing the general trend of the world, if it weren't for the incompetence of the Qi people, the situation in the world would have been reversed by me."

"I, Chen Yu, am alone, and I control the situation in the world with my own strength, such an assassin ability, an assassin since ancient times, who can compare with me!"

"Zhuzhu, Nie Zheng and the like can be compared with me?"

Chen Yu was indignant when he came here, and he couldn't help but turn his tone, staring at Zhao Tuo and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, I, Chen Yu, don't have a chance to kill you with my own hands." If I can kill you Zhao Tuo, I will have no regrets in this life. ”

Zhao Tuo's face was expressionless.

This Chen Yu is already full of blood, and there is no point in talking to him.

Compared with the captives who needed to be brought back to Xianyang such as Dai Wang Jia, Yan Taifu Juwu, etc., Zhao Tuo didn't need to think about the life and death of this Chen Yu at all.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to kill first.

Zhao Tuo instructed: "Drag it down, the head." ”

On his side, a short soldier immediately grabbed Chen Yu and dragged him out.

Chen Yu stared at Zhao Tuo with those red eyes and shouted, "Zhao Tuo, I ...... with you Woowoo woo ......"

A short soldier took off his sweaty shoes and stuffed them into Chen Yu's mouth, stopped his words, and dragged him down with his robe.

Zhao Tuo watched this scene silently, secretly counting in his heart.

"Han Wang Han Cheng, Zhao Wang Zhao Xie, Changshan Wang Zhang Er, Acting King Chen Yu ......"

"The late prince of Qin, the fourth."
