Hengshan County, outside Dongyuan City.

The Qin army, which had moved south from Daidi, set up camp here.

Some Qin soldiers sighed: "This battle to destroy the country is too fast, we have only been in Daidi for a few months, this is over?" ”

The other person raised his head and looked proud: "Of course, you don't want to see who the general who commands us is." This is General Zhao! Fight with General Zhao, win a hundred battles, and be promoted to the knighthood for meritorious service. ”

"I don't know when the king will start fighting the Qi Kingdom? I don't know if Naigong still has a chance to go to the battlefield to be promoted, this time he is promoted to the top of the house, and he is still one level away from the hairpin who let my son enter the school. It would be nice if I could take down the Qi Kingdom by the way. ”

There are also Qin pawns who are still unsatisfied with the war and are full of desire for promotion.

"If you want to eat fart, Qi is so big, how can you take it by the way. Didn't you see that we all left Daidi and returned to Hengshan? Behold, after the end of the reward, they will go home in part. My family is in the party, go faster, and I can go back to catch the autumn harvest. ”

There are also people who think about the autumn harvest at home.

In the Qin camp, the soldiers were all relaxed.

In their opinion, by destroying Daiguo this time, their task will be completed.

Compared to the relaxed mentality of the soldiers after the war.

In the commander's camp, General Zhao Tuo still had a solemn expression, and carried out a new strategic deployment with the generals under his command.

"General Yang Yuan is a veteran, he leads 10,000 people to guard the land, and he is fine."

"The army is temporarily stationed in Dongyuan, so it is said that it is necessary to send an envoy back to Xianyang and wait for the arrival of the king's edict before proceeding to the next step, so as to reassure the soldiers."

"During this time, the soldiers can relax, issue titles and monetary rewards, and liberalize control, so that the second and third sons can go to the city to go to the women's palace and the market, and shop and have fun."

"In addition, I will release another news to the outside world, saying that after the destruction of the dynasty, my Qin State has a plan to go north to Yandi, expel the Hu people, and subdue Liaodong."

Hearing this, the strategist Li stroked his palm and smiled: "The general's trick is wonderful, not only can he rest the soldiers, but also use the possibility of leading the army north again and subduing Liaodong as an excuse to let the Qi people let down their vigilance against the general's garrison in Hengshan." ”

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "This is the wisdom of the king, not my strategy. ”

At the beginning, Qin Wangzheng had the intention of subduing Liaodong after he destroyed the Daiguo, but Zhao Tuo resigned on the pretext that Liaodong was remote and the Hu people were difficult to destroy, and recommended Li Xin as a general.

At the same time, it is recommended to focus on Qi State, followed by Liaodong.

Qin Wangzheng eventually adopted Zhao Tuo's suggestion.

This strategic-minded king, after convening all the important ministers to discuss, also decided to use the affairs of Liaodong to make a fuss.

Let Zhao Tuo lead the army to attack the dynasty first, and the Qin State will cultivate the national strength internally, wait for the autumn harvest, the grain will be full, and everyone will be full of spirit, and then send a large army to conquer the Qi State.

At that time, he could use the war in Liaodong as an excuse to transfer grain and straw openly, mobilize troops, and wait until the troops were stationed at the border and the troops were in place, and then openly declare war on the Qi State.

In this way, you can catch everyone off guard, reduce the casualties of the Qin army, and unify the world more smoothly.

Of course, the Qin State invaded Liaodong is also true, and at the same time as the invasion of Qi, the Qin State sent Li Xin as a general to go north to Yandi and subdue Liaodong, and he did what he said.

"Hengshan is only separated from Qi by a Julu County, I have troops here, and I should also say hello to my friends in Qidi, when I write a letter, I will greet Da Sima."

……

Just when Zhao Tuo led his army south, stationed troops in Dongyuan City, Hengshan County, and sent envoys to Xianyang to return to the war.

The news of the destruction of the Qin army and the capture of Yan Wangxi and the destruction of the Huns was also transmitted to the surrounding through the tongues of merchants from all over the world, as well as those fast horse letters.

Swallow land, no end city.

In a local mansion of the rich Yan people, a handsome man in a deep coat is playing the piano in the pavilion.

The sound of the piano is poignant, as if mixed with the emotions of the person touching the qin.

Lamentation, desolation, and sometimes the anger that sharpens the sound of the piano.

It's autumn, the flowers and leaves around are withering, the branches and trees are yellow, there is a sense of gloom, and now in this angry piano sound, there is more sense of slaughter.

A burly man strode over.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

"Zifang, that Qin general Zhao Tuo is really as you expected, after going south from Daidi, he will garrison the army in Hengshan and stop moving."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Zhang Liang put his fingers on the strings, looked at the front calmly, and sighed faintly: "The Qin army is about to go south, and the Qi State is about to perish." ”

Gongsun Xin's expression froze, and he said: "You mean that Zhao Tuo will lead the army to destroy Qi, but I heard that the Qin army is likely to go north next to recover Liaodong, which is occupied by the Hu people. ”

Zhang Liang smiled, did not dwell on this matter, but turned his mouth and asked: "Tian Chong used to be the envoy of the Qin State as a great Sima, and in the Qin Palace, he competed with the generals of the Qin State in the art of war, and you have heard of the succession?" ”

Gongsun Xin nodded and said: "It is said that Tian Chong defeated the Qin generals Wang Ben and Meng Wu in succession, and even Zhao Tuo was defeated in his hands, and it can be described as a shame to bow to him on the spot." ”

"So it is rumored everywhere that Tian Chong is not weaker than the generals of the Qin army, and the reason why the Qi army was defeated in Zhencheng was because of Zhao Tuo's sneak attack. What do you mean by the ovary, is it the Qin people who deceive it? ”

Zhang Liang said: "Since then, the Qin State has been arranging the destruction of Qi. The Qin people held up Tian Chong, who could only deduce the art of war, so that his position as the Great Sima became more and more stable, and when the Qin State officially attacked Qi, this proud Great Sima would definitely suffer a big loss. ”

"As for what you just said, the Qin State wants to recover Liaodong. Hehe, in the remote places of Liaodong, the enemies are all Hu people from all tribes, how can Qin Guofa send a large army to attack, and send a good general to lead the elite troops to the north. Therefore, the recovery of Liaodong is just a cover to confuse the Qi people. ”

"This time, Zhao Tuotun's troops in the east should have the intention of destroying Qi, and when the Qin State borrowed the mouth of Liaodong and gathered the troops, he could attack the Qi State in one fell swoop. And then Zhao Tuo can sneak attack Tian Chong once in Zhencheng, how do you know that he won't sneak attack again this time? ”

Gongsun Xin was full of chills when he heard this, he didn't expect the Qin people to be so cunning, he whispered: "Since the ovary sees that the Qin army is about to destroy Qi, should we send someone to remind the Qi State and let them be on guard." ”

"Remind Qi Guo? Scold...... Hehe......"

Zhang Liang smiled coldly.

In the first battle of Zhencheng, Gongsun Xin and Chen Yu went to Dongjun to assassinate them, and then hid from the pursuit of the Qin people in Dongjun, and did not personally experience what happened to the people of the Four Kingdoms in the Qi State.

In the State of Qi, Qi Wangjian and Qi Xiangtian were confused by the conditions offered by the envoys of the Qin State, and put the responsibility for the defeat of Zhencheng on the people of the Four Kingdoms, turned their faces on the spot, and wantonly chased and captured.

Zhang Liang, Hengyangjun and a group of righteous people from the four countries hurriedly fled to Daidi.

As a result, the road was broken by the Tian clan of Dicheng, Zhang Liang escaped with his life, but Han Cheng, the king of Hengyang, fell into the hands of the Qi people and was escorted to the Qin State to be tortured to death.

When I thought of my closest anti-Qin comrades-in-arms, I was betrayed by the Qi people, and finally fell into the fate of being torn apart.

Zhang Liang's heart was full of hatred for Qi Guo.

"Qi people have no faith, even if they destroy the country, they deserve it, why should we remind them?"

"And the Qi people used the lives of our righteous men of the Four Kingdoms to befriend the Qin State, and pinned their remaining hopes on the kindness of the Qin people, do you think they will believe it if we remind them?"

"The five kingdoms are all destroyed, what is the use of keeping the Qi country? It's better to perish, only when the Qi country perishes, those arrogant and treacherous Qi people will stand with us and take revenge on the Qin people and seek revenge for the country. ”

Gongsun Xin was stunned by Zhang Liang's words.

He thought for a while, nodded and said: "What the ovary said also makes sense, and that Zhao Tuo is so powerful, this time not only destroyed the Dai Kingdom, captured Zhao Jia and Yan Xi, but even the Xiongnu were broken by him, I think that even if the Qi State is on guard, it will definitely not be an opponent, and this time the Qi State will die." ”

"Zhao Tuo......"

A look of jealousy flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

"Qin has Wang Jian as a veteran Zhenguo, famous generals like Wang Ben and Meng Wu to lead the army, and Zhao Tuo as a successor peerless general, even if the six countries join forces, they will never be the opponent of the Qin army on the battlefield. So let's stop thinking about using the army to fight the Qin army, that's a dead end. ”

"If you want to restore the country, you can only let the Qin country be in chaos, and if you let a country be in chaos, there is no better way than the monarch suddenly dies."

"Let's go, the Yan people here say that there are often brave warriors in Dongyi, and their people are strong and good at fighting. We may find the right person when we go and see. ”

Speaking of this, a figure flashed in Zhang Liang's mind.

He whispered: "Although Chen Yu is dead, my way of assassination, I, Zhang Liang, will inherit it." ”
