General Qin

About forty miles south of Daicheng.

In a forest, several human heads popped out from among the trees.

"Your Majesty has already led elite troops to lie in the valley. We only need to wait for the success of this operation. Once Zhao Tuo dies and the Qin army is in chaos, our army can take advantage of the situation and attack."

"As long as the Qin army is defeated, the danger of our country's collapse this time will be resolved, and the king will not have to kneel to the Huns for help. Say, the survival of the Zhao family of our country depends entirely on you."

The elder Zhao looked at the young man beside him.

Zhao said that he looked about sixteen years old, and his face was still a little immature.

Facing the elder's words, he nodded firmly and said: "I met Zhao Tuo when I was young. As long as I report my name and say that I am here to surrender him, he will definitely see me. When the time comes, I will take advantage of the opportunity to get close to him. You can kill him with one sword and save the country from danger."

"Mr. Zhao is really heroic. With this young warrior in Dai, this matter will definitely be successful."

On the side, Chen Yu patted his palm and praised, then turned to ask: "This Mrs. Xu's dagger is a famous weapon in the world, and the price is very expensive. It was used by Jingke when he assassinated Qin in the past. Now we are waiting for you during this period of time." Use medicine to quench it, test people, blood soaks strands, and everyone will die. Zhao Jun must remember not to hurt himself when using it."

Speaking of this, Chen Yu's eyes sparkled again, and he whispered: "As long as he can hurt Zhao Tuo once with this blade, he will have no reason to live!"

After a while.

The young Zhao said that he walked out of the jungle and walked towards the Qin army's camp in the distance.

Behind him, the words of everyone's hope sounded.

"Back then, Qin Wuyang, a strong man from Yan State, followed Jingke to assassinate Qin. He was murdered by a traitor on the way, and finally failed to assassinate Qin. With Qin Wuyang's young murderous appearance, if he went to the palace, the assassination of Qin would be defeated? This time I hope that Zhao Shuo will have the courage of Qin Wuyang to kill Zhao Tuo in one fell swoop."

...

Qin army camp.

Zhao Tuo divided the 70,000 army into three parts.

The Xingjun camp is at the forefront, with a total of 20,000 people, led by General Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan was born in the Yang family. He was just over 40 years old. He followed Li Xin and Meng Wu to conquer Chu, and followed Wang Jian to participate in the battle to destroy Chu. Army, it can be said that the qualifications are quite deep.

This time Qin Wangzheng appointed Zhao Tuo as the main general and Yang Yuan as the deputy general, which can be said to be thoughtful.

Even if something happened to Zhao Tuo, Yang Yuan, a veteran, was able to command the army, and the arrangement was very secure.

And because of Yang Xiong's relationship, Zhao Tuo and Yang Yuan get along well, and there will be no quarrels between them.

Zhao Tuo ordered Yang Yuan to lead the soldiers under his command as the vanguard of the Xing army. With his rich experience in the army, he would clear the way ahead and guard against the surprise attack of the acting army.

About six or seven miles to the south from Yang Yuan's tribe, there is a Chinese army of 30,000 under the command of Zhao Tuo himself.

Further back and farther away is the rear army of 20,000 escorting supplies and fodder.

At this time, it was getting late, and the Qin army set up camps everywhere, digging stoves for cooking, and preparing to eat.

In the camp of the Chinese army, in the tent of the commander under Yu Baolong's banner.

Zhao Tuo sat at the top and began to listen to the military reports of the generals in the account.

"General Yang Yuan reported that a large number of Dai army cavalry was found ten miles ahead of the Xing army. Our army's scouts could not approach. We could only protect the surrounding area for a few miles to prevent the Dai army cavalry from prying eyes. General Yang said that this place is approaching the Dai city. People have the idea of ​​attacking at night, so I ask the general to be more prepared at night."

Li Shang read out the information from the former army.

"General Yang is really a prudent general."

Zhao Tuo gave a compliment.

The Qin army was less than two days away from Daicheng. It is normal to find a large number of Daijun cavalry ahead, so there is no need to be suspicious.

However, because Zhao and Dai were originally the places where the cavalry was produced, and the Dairen cavalry were strong, and they were familiar with the geographical location, the Qin army scouts were no match for the Dairen at all. Once they were released too far, they would be easily killed by them, so the Qin army lost For a longer distance detection ahead.

Under such circumstances, even if the main force of the acting army approached for more than ten miles, the Qin army could not detect its traces, so Yang Yuan reminded Zhao Tuo to strengthen his night defenses to prevent the acting army from sneaking attacks.

"General Meng Tian, ​​the defense has been strengthened tonight, and sentries are sent around the camp to patrol non-stop."

Zhao Tuo issued a military order.

"only."

During this expedition, Meng Tian, ​​who was promoted to General Pi, immediately surrendered his promise.

After issuing the order to strengthen the vigilance, Li Shang read the letter from the rear army Zhao Guang.

The rear army is in charge of escorting supplies, food and fodder, with fewer soldiers and more auxiliary soldiers.

The letter from Zhao Guang said that the governor of Hengshan County had already ground all the wheat that had just been harvested this year into flour with a stone mill according to General Zhao's request, and sent it to be escorted by civilian husbands.

"Okay, after this batch of flour arrives, we can make a batch of wheat cakes first."

Zhao Tuo nodded. In his plan, if he brought wheat cakes to the battlefield, it might play an important role in dealing with the barbarians in the grassland.

What followed were some irrelevant military matters, which Zhao Tuo still dealt with rigidly.

There is no small matter on the battlefield, and some small negligence may lead to a big defeat, so Zhao Tuo couldn't help but be careless.

At this time, a figure appeared outside the door, and Xi Qigu, who had been promoted to a military marquis, came in and said: "General, someone claims to be the younger brother of the general's family, Zhao Shuo, and he has come to join the general. He said he knows the reality of Daicheng and is willing to donate General."

"My clan brother, Zhao said?"

When Zhao Tuo heard this, he couldn't help but startled.

Zhao said that he didn't have much impression of the name, and after thinking about it for a long time, he just dug out the identity of the other party from the depths of his memory.

Clan brother, the so-called clan brother, sounds like a very close relationship.

But in fact, it is far away. Although it is in the five servers, it is the farthest number one.

Those who share the same father are brothers, those who share the same ancestor are cousins, and those who share the same great-grandfather are brothers.

Only those who are the same as the ancestors are the so-called clan brothers.

The common ancestor between Zhao Tuo and Zhao Shuo can be traced back to Zhao Suhou, the father of King Wuling of Zhao.

Zhao Tuo did the math, in the entire Zhao family, there are countless people who have such a relationship with Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo didn't have a deep memory of Zhao Shuo, he only vaguely remembered that the two families had a relationship when they were young, and he and Zhao Shuo had played together, so he had some impressions.

But it doesn't mean that the relationship between clan brothers doesn't need to be cared about.

On the contrary, in this ancient feudal society, this kind of family brothers in the five clothes is a very important and intimate relationship, blood relatives, An Neng can abandon it at will.

Not to mention that Zhao said now that he came with important information.

Later Cao Mengde heard that Xu Ziyuan had brought information to vote, but he greeted him barefoot excitedly.

Zhao Tuo was about to stand up and go to greet him according to the etiquette of this era to show his enthusiasm, but his heart moved, and he felt that what Zhao said was too coincidental.

Thinking of the information passed back from people in the Qin Kingdom, not only Zhang Liang was in Daicheng, but also Chen Yu and Gongsun Xin, who specialized in assassination, were also there.

That guy Zhang Liang is an old bastard.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but think more carefully, sat back and asked Xi Qigu to call Zhao Shuo into the tent.

"General, are we avoiding?"

Meng Tian asked, since the person who came was General Zhao's clan brother, I don't know if it's okay for these Qin generals to be present.

"It's okay, since he came with military information, let everyone listen to it and judge whether the military information is true or not."

Zhao Tuo spoke.

After a while, Xiqigu led a young man into the military tent.

Zhao said his face turned pale.

The beginning of the matter was the same as their original plan. As long as he reported his identity as the younger brother of Zhao Tuo clan, those Qin soldiers would never neglect him, let alone search his body, and he could take the poisoned Mrs. Xu with him. The dagger approached Zhao Tuo.

But different from the original plan, this Zhao Tuo didn't care about his blood relatives and the importance of the "information" he carried. account.

Looking at the mighty and majestic Qin generals in the tent, all the sharp and majestic eyes fell on him.

Think about what you are about to do.

Zhao said that he swallowed, his face turned pale, and his legs trembled a little.

On the main seat.

Zhao Tuo raised his sword eyebrows.

"Why is my brother standing still?"
