General Qin

Zhao Shuo let out a loud roar, and the young man's arrogance suddenly became apparent.

He kicked his feet off the ground and stabbed Zhao Tuo behind the case with the dagger in his hand.

When the incident happened suddenly, everyone turned pale with shock, the generals in the tent like Zhang He, Bai Rong and others didn't react at all.

At this critical moment, Zhao Tuo seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the wooden table in front of him with both hands, and slammed it up.

The wooden case was light, and under Zhao Tuo's strength, it bumped into Zhao Shuo who was rushing towards him.

Zhao said that he didn't expect this change, so he grabbed the wooden case with his left hand and held it against it, and was about to open it to continue to assassinate Zhao Tuo.

But at this time, Zhao Tuo had already pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at Zhao Shuo.

Zhao said he hurriedly dodged the sword sideways.

When it was late and then it was fast, only a "talking" was heard.

Not far away, Li Shiqi threw something from his hand, which hit Zhao Shuo on the head.

Zhao Shuo screamed and fell to his knees.

The moment he knelt down in pain, Li Shang rushed up and kicked Zhao Shuo over.

Shejian also rushed forward, stretched out his foot and stepped on Zhao Shuo's right hand holding the dagger, so that he could not attack.

Black Hip squatted down and snatched the dagger.

He flew into a rage and said: "What a sinister assassin, he actually wanted to assassinate my general. He deserves death. Naigong will never forgive you. I will stab your ass with this dagger today."

Just when Hei Hip was full of anger and was about to torture Zhao, a voice came.

"Stop, there may be poison on that dagger."

Hearing this, Hei Hiu lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw a faint green patch on the blade of the dagger in his hand.

He was startled, and quickly threw the dagger in his hand on the ground, wiped his hands on his clothes, and shouted: "My mother, why is this kid so insidious? If Naigong accidentally grabbed the dagger just now , didn’t he die on the spot?”

Zhao Tuo stopped the black hip, and glanced at the dagger on the ground.

The familiar shape of the dagger, with a faint luster on the blade, brought back Zhao Tuo's memories of the past.

A dagger made by Madam Xu, a famous swordsmith in Zhao State, is worth a hundred gold.

Zhao Tuo sighed secretly, more than four years ago, he was also holding a similar dagger and was forced to assassinate.

Unexpectedly, four years later, someone would use such a sharp weapon to assassinate him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

Almost, almost, if he hadn't kept an eye out, as long as Zhao Shuo took this dagger and stabbed it, the poison would enter his body, and in this era, he would definitely be dead.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo experienced the feeling when Qin Wangzheng was assassinated by Jing Ke in history.

After the assassin was captured, it was only at this time that everyone could clearly see that the thing Li Shiqi threw at Zhao Shuo just now was the wine that Zhao Shuo used for drinking.

Li Shiqi gave way to him just now, but he didn't go far away. He was very close to the wooden table where he was sitting. Seeing that the situation was critical, he grabbed the wine cup on it and threw it, hitting the target just in time.

Zhao Tuo praised: "Sir, you are really skilled."

Li Shiqi responded with a chuckle: "When a drunkard throws a wine shovel, it's natural that one hits one."

Everyone laughed, saying that Li Shiqi's smash just now was timely.

At this time, seeing that Li Shang and Shejian had tied Zhao Shuo's hands behind his back to restrain him, Zhao Tuo walked over.

"Zhao Tuo turned his back on his ancestors as a traitor, coveted life and sought glory, defected to the Qin people, and wanted to destroy the Zhao family. Are you worthy of Zuo Si?"

Zhao said that his eyes were wide open and he hissed loudly.

Seeing that the assassination failed, he no longer felt cowardly, and insulted Zhao Tuo in various ways.

Zhao Tuo smiled lightly and said, "Then Zhao Qian is worthy of Zuo Siguo, Li Mu, and the ancestors of the Zhao family? Also, Zhao Jia colluded with the Huns and offered soil to the Hu people, is he worthy of King Wuling and King Huiwen?" Waiting for the first king of the Zhao family?"

Zhao Shuo retorted: "The Dai Wang has not agreed to the conditions of the Xiongnu, so how can we talk about colluding with the Xiongnu?"

Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up.

"So, what you just said is all false? Zhao Jia didn't form an alliance with the Huns, and didn't the Huns send 100,000 troops to the south? There are only tens of thousands of Zhao Jia's soldiers in the land?"

Seeing Zhao Tuo questioning.

Zhao said that he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and growled: "You traitor, don't ask again, I, Zhao said, even if I die here, let you be cut to pieces with knives and axes, I will never say a word to you again. "

Zhao said that at this moment, he showed the spirit of a hot-blooded man, with his head held high and his face full of pride.

The son of the Zhao family would rather die than surrender.

"Young man..."

Zhao Tuo shook his head, and said to Hei Ji, "Do you still remember what happened to Qu Ming in the past?"

Black Butt reacted immediately, and said with a sinister smile: "Don't worry, General, this little gentleman will speak soon."

He walked to the door and ordered to the short soldiers outside: "Bring some pieces of cloth, and bring some buckets of water."

After a while.

Still uttering passionate words, Zhao Shuo, who would rather die than speak, was pressed on the wooden case by short soldiers and tied up.

Cover your face with a cloth and start adding water.

Around, Meng Tian, ​​Su Jiao and other generals who had never seen this kind of punishment all looked at this scene with frowns, not quite understanding what General Zhao asked Black Butt to do.

Could it be that this thing is more severe than whipping, burning and other punishments?

Soon, when the cloth was added to the third layer, Zhao Shuo kept struggling, and there was a terrible hissing sound from under the cloth.

Seeing that the black buttocks were almost done, he ordered someone to take away the wet cloth, revealing a panting Zhao said.

The young face was covered with water, and all the facial features were twisted together.

"Have you changed your temper, little gentleman? Let's continue."

Black Butt grinned grimly.

Seeing that the short soldiers were about to cover their faces with cloth again, Zhao said, "I say it! I say it!"

After a while, Zhao Tuo learned what he wanted to know from Zhao Shuo.

"Zhao Jia disliked that the Huns wanted too much, so he listened to Chen Yu's advice and wanted to send you to assassinate me. As long as I die, he can take advantage of the chaos of the Qin army and attack the Qin army, so as to avoid the danger of being destroyed?"

As Zhao Tuo said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This time, it was really dangerous.

To be honest, the assassination plan planned by Chen Yu is very likely to succeed.

The dead men they chose were Zhao Tuo's relatives. In this era where blood ties are valued, Zhao said that as long as he reported his identity as General Zhao's brother and brought important information to surrender, he would definitely be able to see Zhao Tuo.

In his capacity, the generals of the Qin army really didn't dare to search him easily, which was enough for Zhao Shuo to approach him smoothly with the murder weapon.

If it were other unrestrained people, such as Tu Sui and Ren Xiao, in order to show their intimacy, they might even greet Zhao Shuo in person and give him a chance to assassinate him.

Mrs. Xu's dagger was extremely sharp, and it was hardened with poison, so if she touched it once, most people would die.

One of the reasons why Zhao Tuo was able to survive this time was because Zhao said that his expression was wrong when he entered the account, which made Zhao Tuo suspicious.

Secondly, it was Zhao Shuo's presentation of the picture, which reminded Zhao Tuo of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin Dynasty. As one of the parties involved, how could he not be vigilant.

"General, since Zhao Jia's army is lying in ambush in the valley ahead, waiting to attack us. Why don't our army counterattack and defeat the general's army here!"

Hei Hip's eyes sparkled, and he offered a plan immediately.

Meng Tian shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear what General Yang Yuan said, that the road ahead has been blocked by the Dai Army cavalry. Once our army is mobilized, those Dai Army cavalry will definitely spread the news to Zhao Jia's ears. Most of the Dai Army cavalry are cavalry, and It is dark night, and the opponent is familiar with the location, so it is impossible for our army to attack successfully."

Shejian nodded in agreement and said, "What General Meng said is that our army must never take the initiative to attack at night."

Li Shiqi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Then it's better to follow the plan, pretending that the general was assassinated, causing commotion in the barracks, ambush secretly, and lure the army to attack, and then we will catch them all."

"Okay, alcoholic is a good idea!"

Black Butt immediately cried out, and the others nodded in agreement.

Even Meng Tian nodded and said: "If we can lure the Dai army here to ambush, not to mention capturing Zhao Jia on the spot, but as long as we can destroy some of them, it will be much easier for our army to attack Dai City in the future."

He glanced at Zhao Shuo, who was so frightened by Zhu Qinjiang's words that his face turned pale.

Zhao Tuo hesitated a little, shook his head and said, "Our Qin army has a strict system. Even if I am assassinated, there will be no disturbance in the camp. It is better to block the news and then retreat slowly on the second day. Therefore, what Mr. Li said about trapping and killing Although the strategy is good, if the enemy has resourceful people, I am afraid it will be seen through."

Zhang Liang's name came to Zhao Tuo's mind, so he didn't dare to be careless.

He whispered: "However, this time Zhao Jia sent people to assassinate him, so he can really use his strategy and injure him severely. Zhao Jia has not yet reached an alliance with the Huns, and it would be better if our army can wipe out the main force of the Dai Kingdom before then. "

...

The next morning.

The wind of early autumn blows across the fields of Daidi.

In a valley, Dai Wang Jia showed worry on his face, and said to several counselors gathered beside him: "The Qin army did not move last night. Could it be that Zhao said that the assassination failed?"

"In my opinion, the Qin army has strict military discipline. Even if the main general Zhao Tuo is really assassinated and his deputy is in command, the news will be blocked overnight. It is impossible for there to be chaos in the barracks. If you want to know whether Zhao Tuo was killed, It still depends on the movement of the Qin army today."

Zhang Liang glanced at Chen Yu, who had an ugly face beside him, and said in a calm voice.

He did not agree with Chen Yu's plan that after Zhao Tuo was assassinated, the Qin army would be in chaos, and then the Dai army would take the opportunity to make a surprise attack. On the contrary, Zhang Liang felt that if the Qin army was really in chaos overnight, it might be that Zhao Tuo wanted to use his tricks to trap and kill the acting army.

Dai Wang Jia sighed: "If the assassination fails, what should we do?"

Chen Yu saw that the Qin army had no disturbance at night, and knew that his calculation had failed, his face darkened even more. He said in a deep voice, "There is no need to worry about Dai Wang. Even if the assassination fails, it will only kill one Zhao Shuo. If the Qin army continues to go north, We will return directly to Daicheng and contact the Huns, everything will be the same as before. But if it succeeds, it will directly affect the situation of this battle, which is a great benefit.”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Liang couldn't help but nodded.

Although he was worried about the failure of the assassination, it aroused Zhao Tuo's vigilance.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Liang had to agree with Chen Yu's assassination method, which was indeed very reasonable.

Send someone to assassinate, even if you fail, you will only lose one assassin.

But if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge!

"Although Qin has already destroyed the five kingdoms, if the King of Qin can be assassinated, the general situation of the world may not be without possibility of repetition."

Just when Zhang Liang was thinking secretly.

A generation of knights galloped into the valley on horseback.

After being interrogated, he got off his horse and ran to Dai Wang Jia, and said pleasantly, "My lord, the Qin army has retreated!"

Dai Wang Jiaxi said: "The Qin army retreated? Could it be that Zhao Tuo was really assassinated?"

The knight on behalf of the army said: "Whether Zhao Tuo was killed or not, we don't know, but according to the scouts, the two Qin armies have already pulled out their camps and are about to retreat south."

Chen Yu immediately excitedly said: "My lord! This must be because Zhao said that the assassination was successful. Only when Zhao Tuo, the leader of the Qin army, is killed, can the Qin army retreat. Your lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If we hide our troops and kill, It will definitely defeat the Qin army!"

On the side, Zhang Liangxiu frowned slightly.

Although he was also happy that Zhao Tuo was assassinated, he was always worried.

Zhang Liangjin said: "Although Zhao Tuo is dead, the Qin Army still has a deputy commander, so it is not easy to deal with. Your Majesty, don't chase after him lightly."

Chen Yu said angrily: "Zifang Ande said such depressing words. The new general of the Qin army died, and his soldiers and officials must be panic-stricken. This is the opportunity for our army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. If we don't take the opportunity to destroy the main force of the Qin army, wait for them When we retreat to Hengshan Mountain of Qin, the King of Qin will definitely send generals to lead the attack, how will we deal with it at that time?"

"In my opinion, we should take advantage of this golden opportunity to defeat the main force of the Qin army in one fell swoop. Only in this way can the king of Qin dispel his desire to conquer Dai for the time being. Even if the Qin people want to conquer Dai again, it will be next year. Your Majesty must arrest him." Take your time!"

Chen Yu's voice was passionate and his eyes were bright.

Gongsun Xin who was next to him echoed, "I think what Chen Jun said makes sense. If the Qin army is allowed to retreat, and the king of Qin sends generals to lead the army, Zhao said that the assassination will be in vain."

Zhang Liang sighed slightly and stopped talking.

Dai Wang Jia was persuaded by Chen Yu, nodded his head and said: "Chen Jun's words are reasonable. Now that the Qin army is retreating, if I don't take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing and pursue the attack, wouldn't it be a waste of the lives of the people and bring this tens of thousands of troops to come here? Let's go for a run."

Dai Wang Jia gave instructions to the short soldiers beside him: "Pass it down to the widows, just say that Qin general Zhao Tuo has been assassinated and Zhao Tuo is dead. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue, defend the land of Dai, and defeat the Qin army!"

After a while, countless excited voices resounded throughout the valley.

"Qin General Zhao Tuo is dead!"

Immediately afterwards, a large number of vehicles and riders poured out of the valley, chasing the direction in which the Qin army retreated.

Dai Wang Jia sat on the chariot, standing against the wind.

He looked at the thousands of horses and horses in front of him, and the nearly ten thousand infantry behind him, full of pride.

"Zhao Tuo is dead!"

"The widow will win this battle!"
