General Qin

Chapter 420 Zhang Liang Awakens

On the road leading to Daicheng, several war horses galloped.

"Zifang, why didn't we follow Dai Wang to pursue Qin's army, instead we went back to Dai City."

In the strong wind blowing in front of him, Gongsun Xin still couldn't help his doubts and spoke loudly.

When Dai Wang Jia and Chen Yu received the retreat of the Qin army and decided to pursue it, Zhang Liang found an excuse not to follow. Instead, he drove north after the Dai army left.

Although Gongsun Xin was swayed by Chen Yu's strategy, he followed Zhang Liang to the north because of his relationship with the Korean nobleman.

Faced with the questioning, Zhang Liang remained expressionless.

After a while, he reined in his horse and slowed down.

Several other galloping horses also slowed down under the pull of the rider on the horse.

Zhang Liang sighed: "I think about Zhao Tuo's deeds carefully, and I feel that things will not be as simple as Chen Yu thought."

"The earliest rumor about Zhao Tuo circulating today is that when the Qin army attacked Yan, he suggested to Li Xin that he should give up attacking Juyongsai and detour to the west of Liaoxi to stop Yan Wang and his son. At that time, Yan Wang and others were still behind Juyongsai In Shanggu, Yuyang and other places in Shanggu, Yuyang, etc., most people think that Yan people will gather troops in the two counties to resist, who would have thought that King Yan would turn around and run to Liaodong?"

"But Zhao Tuo thought about it, and he really stopped the father and son of King Yan in the west of Liaoxi. Although King Yan escaped, all the officials of Yan State fell into the hands of the Qin army, and Yan State was declared destroyed. It can be said that if there is no such person as Zhao Tuo , King Yan and his son will surely be able to escape to Liaodong smoothly, and rely on that place to fight against the Qin army. The country of Yan died in the hands of Zhao Tuo!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Xin and the surrounding people were stunned.

Zhang Liang continued: "When Wei was destroyed later, Zhao Tuo followed Wei Bao...In the end, he even killed the king of Chu, Xiong Qi, who fled to Yuedi!"

"Yandan, Wei Bao, Wei Jiu, Zhaoping, Tian Chong, Xiang Qu, Xiang Yan, King of Chu Xiong Qi..."

Zhang Liang counted the victories of Qin general Zhao Tuo in detail, and at the end, every time he counted a name, his voice trembled.

The faces of Gongsun Xin and the others turned ashen.

"There are so many heroes from the Six Kingdoms, all of them were defeated by Zhao Tuo. Although this young man is young, he can be called a famous general in the world, and his resourcefulness is far beyond ordinary people. Do you think it is so easy for such a man to be assassinated by Chen Yu?"

"Let's not mention that Lord Hengyang fell into the hands of the Qin people, plus there are also Qin's intermediaries in Daicheng, Zhao Tuo must know that we are here. I, Zhang Liang, don't mind, but the unknown person will not be killed. He, Zhao Tuo, puts it in his eyes."

"But Chen Yu is famous. He assassinated the envoy of Qin in Qingyang, the minister of Qi in Linzi, and the captain of Qin in Dongjun. His actions can be called rampant. With such a professional assassin in Daidi, do you think Zhao Tuo would not Will you be prepared?"

"Furthermore, the person sent to assassinate Zhao Tuo this time is only a teenager in his teens. Even though he has the courage to assassinate with his blood, he can really react when the opportunity arises? As long as there is any flaw, Zhao Tuo's kind How can a wise person ignore it."

Zhang Liangchang sighed: "Thus, after thinking about it carefully, I think that the assassination this time will probably fail, and with Zhao Tuo's plan, he will definitely follow the plan, deliberately lead the army to retreat, and trap and kill the Dai army."

Hearing this, everyone felt chills all over their bodies.

Gongsun Xin even said: "Since this is the case, why didn't Zifang speak to the Dai Wang?"

Zhang Liang didn't speak, and stared at Gongsun Xin with his long and narrow eyes.

Gongsun Xin immediately remembered that he had echoed Chen Yu's initiative to attack, and blushed: "According to what Zifang said, since the Dai army will fail, do we go to Dai City to ask the Dai minister to send troops to support it?"

"Accept?"

Zhang Liang snorted: "What's there to do? The defeat of the Dai army is set. Going out of the city to meet it is just easier to be defeated by the Qin army. I went to the Dai city this time just to remind the Dai minister to do a good job when the Qin army attacked the city. Prepare, and return the courtesy during this time. Then I will leave."

Gongsun Xin said in amazement: "Where does Zifang want to go? Even if the Dai army is defeated, as long as the Dai king still exists, we can still connect with the Xiongnu through the king of Yan, and use the strength of the Hu people to fight the Qin army to the death!"

Zhang Liang smiled.

After several years of restoring the country, he has realized that the six Shandong countries are absolutely unable to compete with the Qin army militarily. Whether it is the quality of the soldiers at the bottom or the quality of the generals at the top, the six countries combined are not as strong as Qin.

Therefore, he knew very well that the country of Dai would be destroyed this time, and even if the Huns were involved, it would be absolutely impossible to defeat the Qin army under the leadership of Zhao Tuo.

Since the ending is already doomed, why would a smart person do useless work here and put himself in danger?

"Unless there is a problem within the Qin State, we will not be able to defeat it from the battlefield, let alone restore the country. The best way to cause problems in the Qin State is to let the King of Qin die!"

A cold light burst out of Zhang Liang's eyes.

"Chen Yu's way of assassination does have merits. As long as the assassination is successful, the strength of one person can even exceed the power of thousands of troops. It's just that Chen Yu's vision is too small. Is that enough? Even assassinating Zhao Tuo is enough?"

"No, if you want to assassinate, you should assassinate the king of Qin!"

Zhang Liang lowered his head and looked at his slender fingers.

"I will hide my name, travel the world, seek powerful men, and assassinate the King of Qin!"

...

Stay until dusk.

Several war horses galloped towards Daicheng quickly.

"Open the door quickly, I am the acting king!"

Dai Wang Jia ignored his manners and roared loudly.

The city gate was not opened, and a large bamboo basket tied with a rope was put down on the city wall. Without hesitation, the crowd immediately abandoned their horses to the basket, and were hung up on the city wall, leaving only a few exhausted war horses paralyzed below the city.

Dai Wang Jia's hair crown was scraped off by a branch on the road, and now his hair was disheveled and he looked in a state of distress. As soon as he climbed the city wall, he yelled at Zhao Jing, who was welcoming him.

"The Qin army is coming, prepare to defend quickly!"

Chen Yu followed up on the wall, and saw that various defensive facilities had already been set up on the city wall, and the guards of the generation army were all fully armed, waiting in full force, as if they had been prepared for a long time.

He couldn't help but asked in amazement: "If you do this, do you know that Qin Jun is chasing us?"

Zhao Jing looked at Dai Wang Jia, Chen Yu and others who looked miserable in front of him, and thought that few of the more than 10,000 sons who followed Dai Wang Jia had returned, and couldn't help feeling sad.

He wept and said: "Zhang Zifang came to inform that the king sent someone to assassinate Zhao Tuo this time, which may be a plan of the Qin people. Maybe he will return in a big defeat. Let us make defense preparations in advance to avoid being killed by the Qin people." Take advantage of the situation to seize the city."

Hearing this, both Dai Wang Jia and Chen Yu were stunned.

"I regret not listening to Zifang's plan!"

Dai Wang Jia looked up to the sky and sighed.

Chen Yu's face turned blue and white, and asked, "Where's Zhang Liang?"

Zhao Jing wiped away the tears on his face, and whispered: "He and those Koreans left the city after reminding us to be careful."

Chen Yu gritted his teeth, his face flushed red.

At this time, the old Yan Wangxi stepped onto the city wall.

He looked at Dai Wang Jia contemptuously, and said sarcastically: "Dai Wang refused to listen to Gu's advice, and let tens of thousands of soldiers die at the hands of the Qin people. Now that the Qin army is about to approach the city, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Dai Wang Jia's expression became flustered.

Especially when he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, it turned out that the Qin army's cavalry who were chasing all the way were about to arrive.

Dai Wang Jia said urgently: "According to King Yan's opinion, what should I do now?"

King Yan laughed happily, and breathed out a mouthful of sour milk.

"To the north of Dai City, there are still several cities of Dai Kingdom. The King of Dai would not go north with Gu Bei, search for soldiers along the way, and get tens of thousands of warriors, and then agree to the conditions proposed by the Xiongnu Shanyu, and join forces with the Huns. Fighting the Qin army together may not mean that there is no chance of victory!"

"Your Majesty, no! The Xiongnu are greedy and untrustworthy. They are the enemies of the Zhao people for generations. How can your Majesty collude with the Xiongnu!"

On the city wall, young people from the Zhao family shouted.

"Of course, the Qin army is our enemy, and the Huns are also our enemy! What they did in Daicheng these days made us angry. If the king hadn't stopped it, we would have fought them hard!"

One call, and the crowd responded.

Yan Wangxi went south this time, followed by a thousand Hun cavalry.

These Huns were intimidated by the Dai army on the first day, and they were quite honest, but then they let go of their courage. They stationed outside the city, often harassed the nearby Dai people's villages, and even looted.

Facing the danger of the Qin army, Dai Wang Jia didn't want to turn against the Huns, so he kept suppressing the angry young people in the city.

But it also made these young people from the Zhao family who already hated the Hu people even more angry, and now they have completely exploded.

The young Zhao Xie stood in the crowd, his blood was surging, and he shouted: "We would rather defend Daicheng to the death than join forces with the Huns!"

"We would rather fight to the death with Qin Jun!"

Hearing the passionate voices of the young people from the Zhao family, Yan Wangxi stared at Dai Wangjia, and said sadly: "The Qin army has arrived in Daicheng, and the lonely general is going north with the protection of the Huns cavalry. Is Dai Wang willing to go with him? , I am still willing to defend the city and be captured by the Qin army."

Dai Wang Jia's face became more and more ugly, but he still hesitated.

At this time, Chen Yu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Qin Army's chariots are chasing us. If we go north with the Huns' cavalry, they will only attack Daicheng and not pursue them. But if we continue to hesitate, wait until the Qin Army steps up." If the pawns catch up and surround the city, there will be no chance of escape."

Yan Wangxi turned around and said: "Daicheng is dead, and the lonely general is gone. The Daiwang will make a decision early."

Seeing King Yan's attitude, listening to Chen Yu's persuasion, and thinking that if the Qin army breaks through Daicheng, he will be taken as a prisoner to Xianyang, Dai Wang Jia couldn't help but tremble.

In the expectant eyes of many young people from the Zhao family, he spoke.

"King Yan wait a moment, I will go with you."

...

In the south of Dai City, thousands of Qin soldiers rushed to attack. Seeing that the gates of the city were closed, the walls were full of strong bows and crossbows, and the crowds were crowded, one could tell that they had been prepared.

Qin Jun knew that it was hopeless to attack the city by taking advantage of the situation, so he stopped outside the city.

"General Meng, the north gate of Dai City is opened, about a thousand Hu soldiers and two thousand Dai troops left, shall we pursue?"

Su Jiao came galloping on his horse, and told Meng Tian who was leading the chasing team.

Meng Tian frowned, shook his head and said: "We have been chasing for a long distance, our horses are tired and our troops are exhausted, so it is not appropriate to go around Daicheng to pursue that army. To be on the safe side, we have to wait for the infantry to come up and take down Daicheng first. "
