Chapter 282: Winter Hunting
Although it is winter, there are still many animals active in the area of the Changliu Mountains, such as black bears, leopards, takin, etc., for each country, hunting is not the goal, the purpose is to compare the other two countries in this hunting activity.
This can be regarded as a political battle between open and covert.
For this winter hunt, Zhao Changqing specially called Chen Qingzhi from the border pass area and asked him to lead his country's generals to participate in the hunting activities of the Three Kingdoms.
The campaign lasts only five days.
In addition to this, he also arranged a lot of dead soldiers, preparing to assassinate him during the hunt of Emperor Jin.
No one will know who assassinated Emperor Jin, of course, if the world doubts, it will definitely suspect the head of Wei, but there must be no evidence to be found.
Early one morning, the hunt begins.
Zhao Changqing was wearing armor, stood in front of his generals, and said to them: "I have only one request for you, this hunt, you don't have to put my safety first, you must do your best to hunt prey, and strive to win the first place in this Three Kingdoms hunt, the top three prey, I have a heavy reward, and the official is promoted to three levels!"
The soldiers were inspired by the emperor's words, and they all shouted in unison: "The last general will receive the order!"
The hunt begins!
Zhao Changqing had already arranged the dead soldiers in the deep mountains and old forests around the Changliu Mountain Range.
Emperor Jin and Emperor Chu personally led the team to hunt, but on the Wei side, Zhao Changqing came up to the mountain to play, and he handed over the responsibility of leading the team to Chen Qingzhi.
On the Jin side, when Emperor Jin led a team to hunt, he suddenly saw a black blind man, although the soldiers behind him shot a few arrows at him, but they did not let the black blind man lie down.
Instead, he fled into the mountains and forests.
Emperor Jin rode a horse and quickly chased after him.
The generals of the Jin Kingdom suddenly lost their color, and hurriedly stepped forward to chase after them, and shouted 'Your Majesty be careful' and so on.
However, an unexpected scene happened, Emperor Jin was assassinated!
And it's a one-shot shot!
Fortunately, the master who had been hiding in the shadows protected Emperor Jin in time, so that he was not injured.
Just now, Emperor Jin went deep alone, and disappeared the trace of the black blind man, and the soldiers behind him had not yet chased him, he felt that the surrounding environment was not good, and was about to retreat, but suddenly shot a few sharp arrows in the dark.
Emperor Jin was taken aback, and he was also frightened when he sat down on the horse, and at this very sinister moment, the master who rushed to the pavilion with Emperor Jin quickly appeared and relieved the siege of Emperor Jin.
Immediately afterwards, the assassins of Emperor Jin appeared one after another, about a dozen people, dressed in white, hidden in the thick snow.
After appearing, they all rushed towards Emperor Jin at the first time.
But without exception, they were all killed by the masters around Emperor Jin.
Then, the generals behind Emperor Jin also arrived.
They imposed martial law all around, and bowed down to Emperor Jin, and hurriedly asked him if he was injured or frightened.
Emperor Jin shook his head and said nothing.
Then I saw these generals go to look at the corpses of these assassins, and at this time, Emperor Jin has been paying close attention to the expressions on everyone's faces and movements on their bodies.
But in the end, nothing out of the ordinary was noticed.
So he said to them: "Expose these people to the wilderness and feed them to the wild beasts, since they dare to come and assassinate me, then they must erase all the news from their bodies, it is impossible to find any clues from their corpses, continue hunting!"
After saying this, he dismounted, took a bow and arrows, and went on.
Shooting in heavy snow is the most difficult, but once you shoot the prey, it must be the big prey.
After the end of the first day of hunting, Emperor Jin had been worried, it was inevitable to strengthen his protection, and he didn't want to die at this time.
The point is, who is the one who came to assassinate him?
From abroad or domestic?
It's important to figure this out.
On the same day, after Zhao Changqing returned to his camp, a man in white was kneeling.
He looked at the man in white and said, "I see that there is nothing unusual on the Jin side, but the assassination failed?"
The man in white replied: "Your Majesty, a few assassins who rushed out of nowhere to assassinate Emperor Jin completely disrupted our plan, so we did not succeed in assassinating Emperor Jin, but chose to continue to lie dormant. ”
Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "In other words, you didn't assassinate Emperor Jin at all?"
The man in white trembled and said, "Please forgive your majesty, we really didn't find a suitable opportunity to assassinate Emperor Jin!"
Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Go down." ”
The man in white was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty doesn't punish your subordinates?"
Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said: "I don't blame you for this matter, I am hasty, it seems that we are not the only ones who want to assassinate Emperor Jin, continue to lurk, strive to find an opportunity, I want to let Emperor Jin die without a place to be buried!"
The man in white said 'no' and then retired.
After a while, Chen Qingzhi, Zhuge Liang and Jing Ke all came to Zhao Changqing's tent.
Let Jing Ke come, mainly because he understands the assassination skills, and can lead the dead soldiers to assassinate Emperor Jin.
His arrival also increased the success rate of assassinating Emperor Jin.
Zhao Changqing said to the three of them: "Today's hunting, I didn't assassinate Emperor Jin because I didn't find a suitable opportunity, but in addition to us, there are also people who want to see Emperor Jin die here, you say, who came to assassinate Emperor Jin today?"
Zhuge Liang said: "The death of Emperor Jin will benefit many parties, so at this moment, there will be many people who hope that Emperor Jin will die." ”
Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the last general just heard a report from the scout, saying that the camps of the Jin State have been completely under martial law, and the Jin army stationed in the Changliu Mountain Range earlier is an army loyal to the Jin Emperor, and with them protecting the Jin Emperor, I am afraid that if you continue to attack, the chances will become more and more slim." ”
Jing Ke was also worried.
The other party has already been startled, and if he goes to assassinate Emperor Jin, this task will become extremely difficult.
After all, there are too many masters around an emperor.
What's more, people still have a vigilant mentality.
Zhao Changqing said to Zhuge Liang: "You have always acted carefully, just work hard in the past few days, rest for a while, hurry up and think of a way to assassinate Emperor Jin, Jing Ke will stay in the military camp for the time being, don't show up, and those dead soldiers, wait according to the original plan." ”
After everyone said yes, they retired.
The next day's hunting, Emperor Jin was full of vigilance and no longer ventured.
Therefore, the dead soldiers of Wei still did not find a suitable opportunity to start.
Two more days passed.
The five-day Three Kingdoms Hunt is coming to an end.
On this day, the dead soldiers of Wei State finally couldn't bear it.
And Emperor Jin has also relaxed a little in the past few days.
But he still couldn't complete the task of assassinating Emperor Jin, and only left him with some injuries.
Emperor Jin's horses were tripped by the dead soldiers, and then rushed up, and they were all killed by the guards who accompanied Emperor Jin at all times.
Zhao Changqing was a little surprised when he learned the news.
This master beside Emperor Jin is actually a strong man who is almost equal to the realm of Jianyi.
No wonder two assassinations in a row failed to help Emperor Jin.
And after Emperor Jin ended the hunt of the Three Kingdoms, he hid in the camp tent and did not come out.
As a result of the hunt of the Three Kingdoms, Wei got the first prize, and Jin and Chu were not too far behind Wei.
In the tent, Zhao Changqing said to Jing Ke: "The next thing is the real alliance of the three emperors, a few days ago, it was the three parties who selected ministers to discuss the previous war, and formulated a truce agreement for the three kingdoms to announce the world, and reached an alliance, during this period, you have no way to assassinate Emperor Jin."
But in the next few days, it will be the conspiracy of our three emperors, and the chance for you to do it will be during this time. In the past few days, you will recuperate and recharge, if you need anything, just tell Chen Qingzhi, and he will cooperate with you. ”
Jing Ke clenched his fists and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, everything is discussed, and the subordinates have been prepared, so the sword will be dispatched." ”
Zhao Changqing patted Jing Ke on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure, I hope you can get out of the way, otherwise, because of a Jin Emperor, I will lose a top assassin of my Wei Kingdom, I am a little reluctant." ”
Jing Ke was grateful and said: "Die for the Wei State, die for Your Majesty, and your subordinates will die as they deserve." ”
Zhao Changqing pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
After the hunt was over, the Three Emperors Alliance had not officially begun, and at noon the next day, Zhao Changqing was bored, so he called Chen Qingzhi to go to the top of the Changliu Mountain Range for a walk, accompanied by 10,000 armor soldiers.
However, the 10,000 soldiers were some distance from Zhao Changqing, and he did it on purpose, for fear that these soldiers would disturb Yaxing, who enjoyed the scenery.
After he and Chen Qingzhi reached the top, they suddenly felt a sense of heroism in the sky, overlooking all the scenery around the Changliu Mountain Range, and said: "Sooner or later, I will turn this place into the land of Wei, not only that, but everywhere I can see and where the sun rises and sets, I will make them become the territory of Wei, everything in the world is mine!"
Chen Qingzhi was also full of pride at this moment, and said firmly: "The last general will die for His Majesty to expand the territory and expand the territory!"
However, at this time, at the peak of the mountain range, there was an earth-shattering vision.
Someone came to assassinate Zhao Changqing!
At this moment, Chen Qingzhi pulled out the long sword at his waist and blocked a sword for Zhao Changqing.
Seeing that there was something strange at the peak, the 10,000 armor soldiers rushed to the peak as fast as they could.
Zhao Changqing said to Chen Qingzhi: "Don't worry about killing, don't worry about my safety, I'm afraid they will forget, I am a land immortal!"
Chen Qingzhi immediately nodded and killed those assassins.
Zhao Changqing also did it.
The result is obvious, these people can't be Zhao Changqing's opponents at all.
After killing these assassins, Zhao Changqing, who was in no mood to enjoy the scenery, returned to his tent in a rage.
He was so furious that he kicked over the table in the tent and shouted loudly: "What a dar, what a daring, how dare you assassinate me! Investigate! Investigate me! But whoever is found out, kill me, and never suffer from it!"
The people standing outside the tent were on their knees, and everyone was terrified.
Zhuge Liang came to the outside of the camp tent, and suddenly his figure flashed, because at this time, Zhao Changqing was frantically throwing things outside, almost hitting him.
After most of Zhao Changqing's fire was extinguished, Zhuge Liang entered the camp tent.
He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, those who assassinated you have not yet found out who instigated it, but Weichen saw the token of the Jin State Supervision Yuan on the body of an assassin. ”
Zhao Changqing sneered when he heard this: "This matter is definitely not the hand of the Jin Kingdom, those people will not be stupid enough to bring something as obvious as the identity of the token on their bodies, and the person who commands this matter will have someone else." ”
Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Could it be the old suspicion of the Jin Kingdom?"
Zhao Changqing said: "Then send the bodies and tokens of those assassins to the military camp of the Jin Kingdom and see their attitudes." ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang wanted to do so, he instantly heard the voice of a scout outside the camp.
It is said that the emperor of Chu was also assassinated.
Zhao Changqing and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other after hearing the voice, and they both had a common idea in their hearts.
