General Qin

Chapter 429 Killing Another King

Pingyi.

It is a small town located in the south of Gaoliu and north of Zhishui.

Since Zhao Tuo learned that the Huns had gone south, he immediately led his army across the Jishui and marched towards Pingyi to prevent the city from being looted by the Huns.

The Dai people in Pingyi City immediately opened the city gate and surrendered to the Qin army after hearing the news that the Dai army had suffered a disastrous defeat and the king had been captured, and they cooperated very well.

Now outside the city of Pingyi, black flags are flying, and there are endless Qin army camps.

After Zhao Guang led the rear army to arrive, there were 45,000 Qin soldiers in the barracks outside the city, and about 10,000 auxiliary soldiers.

The remaining soldiers were stationed in Daicheng, Anyang and other cities to ensure local law and order and the logistics of the Qin army.

In the commander's tent, Zhao Tuo was looking at the bamboo slips on the case.

This is the capture and military achievement report of Meng Tian's tribe. After being verified by military law officials at all levels, it is sent to him, the chief general, for final confirmation.

After Zhao Tuo also confirmed that it was correct, the low-level titles can be issued, and the high-level titles above five doctors need to be sent to Xianyang, and the Lord Lieutenant and Bang Wei will handle it.

"Meng Tian has captured Dai Wang Zhao Jia and Yan Guo Taifu Ju Wu this time, plus his final contribution to destroy Dai Guo, it is enough for him to be promoted to Zuo Geng, and it is no problem for Su Jiao to be promoted to Zuo Shuzhang this time."

"It's a pity, let the King of Yan run away, otherwise Su Jiao would capture the two kings in a row, and the king would be happy to let him be promoted to the right minister."

Zhao Tuo sighed with regret, and after confirming that the meritorious deeds were correct, he handed it over to Li Shang who was beside him, and asked him to send someone thousands of miles to rush him back to Xianyang.

This is not only to show the merits of the soldiers, but also to make the king happy, so that he can know the speed of Zhao Tuo's victory in this battle.

Just when the matter was settled, a short soldier reported at the door: "General, that generation of kings woke up and clamored to see the general."

"Zhao Jia wants to see me?"

Zhao Tuo frowned.

After Dai Wang Jia was kicked out of the car by Yan Wangxi, not only his face was covered in blood on the spot, but also his leg was broken by the galloping horse's hoof.

After thinking about it, Zhao Tuo still got up and went to see the acting king.

In a mansion in Pingyi City.

There was a mixed smell of herbs and blood in the room.

Zhao Tuo walked in, and at a glance he saw a man lying on the couch, probably in his thirties, with a pale face.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look over.

They met Zhao Tuo's eyes.

On behalf of Wang Jia.

"Zhao Tuo has met Dai Wang."

Zhao Tuo spoke calmly, bowed his hands and saluted.

Dai Wang Jia looked straight at Zhao Tuo.

"You are really young, you are only nineteen years old this year?"

Zhao Tuo nodded.

Dai Wang Jia's expression became complicated, and he said: "I have heard about your achievements. You defeated Yan and Wei, and entered Jingchu twice. You fought back, defeated Sima of Chu, broke Xiangqu and Xiangyan, and captured the king of Chu. You You can be called a famous general in the world. But you, Zhao Tuo, are also my descendants of the Zhao family. After being Zhongliang, why do you want to help the people of Qin? You know the feud between Qin and Zhao!"

Before Zhao Tuo came, he had guessed that Dai Wang Jia would say these words, and said indifferently: "There is no fatuous king in Qin, and there are no treacherous officials, and there is no hatred to kill my parents. And the king of Qin is also my relative with the surname Ying. Why can't you help Qin?"

Hearing this, blood came to Dai Wang Jia's pale face.

All the resentment in his heart surged out, and he growled: "You are right. It is not your fault that you went to Qin. It was Zhao Qian, that idiot who favored Guo Kai, who killed your father just now. You go to Qin." The country should also be. Damn it, Zhao Qian took away the Zhao country that belonged to me!"

Dai Wang Jia raised his head again, stared at Zhao Tuo expectantly, and asked, "If my throne hadn't been taken away by Zhao Qian and I hadn't killed your parents, you, Zhao Tuo, would definitely help me. With you and Wu An If you join hands, the people of Qin will not be able to destroy our country of Zhao!"

Zhao Tuo looked at him with pity.

This is another dog-blooded affair.

Zhao Jia

He is the eldest son of King Zhao Mourning.

He was originally the Prince of Zhao, the legitimate successor of King Zhao.

It's a pity that his father, King Zhao Mourning, later doted on an advocate daughter, and made her his queen, and gave birth to his son Zhao Qian.

The son was honored by his mother, so King Zhao Mourning abolished Zhao Jia's crown prince and made Zhao Qian the crown prince.

Later, he became Zhao Wangqian, the favored and trusting minister Guo Kai, who unjustly killed Wu'an Lord Li Mu, and finally subjugated the country.

So Zhao Jia has always been brooding, and now he has been captured and has become a prisoner of the Qin people. Facing Zhao Tuo, he still can't forget his stolen King Zhao.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "Qin's annexation of the world is a general trend. Even if Dai Wang could succeed Zhao Jun in the past, he would only replace Zhao Qian."

At the end of the Warring States period, Qin was far superior to the six Shandong states in terms of territory and national power, as well as monarchs, ministers, generals, and soldiers.

In the past, there were famous generals like Lord Xinling and Lord Chunshen in the Six Kingdoms, and they were still unable to fight against Qin, let alone the remaining group of crooked melons and split dates. How can they fight against Qin?

With that said, Zhao Tuo turned and left.

Listening to Zhao Tuo's ruthless words.

Zhao Jia said angrily: "Zhao Tuo, you are in vain as a descendant of the Zhao family!"

Zhao Tuo stopped and turned around.

He said coldly: "If they were really the descendants of the Zhao family, they would not agree to donate the land of Xia and the people of the Zhao family to the Huns. They would not even help those barbarians plunder their own people and cities. One point, is it also worthy of being called the descendants of the Zhao family?"

Zhao Jia trembled all over, thinking of the scene when he was in Anyang and watched those Huns looting his own people, but he didn't dare to stop him, his face turned red and he bowed his head in silence.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and walked out the door.

When he came to see Zhao Jia this time, he completely severed the connection with the former Zhao country.

The country of the Zhao family died in the hands of Zhao Tuo.

I think many people will use this to criticize him in the future.

It is said that as a descendant of the Zhao family, he personally destroyed the Zhao family and betrayed his ancestors.

Zhao Tuo walked outside the house, looked up and saw the sun shining brightly in the sky, falling on his face, creating warmth.

People in this era are destined to not have many people who can understand him.

Even in later generations, there will definitely be people who criticize him for this.

But Zhao Tuo did not regret it.

He is a staunch defender of "Great Unity".

In his eyes, the world of Kyushu must be unified.

"Only unity is the real righteousness!"

"As for the disasters that may happen in the future, I will try my best to change."

Zhao Tuo whispered to himself, once again strengthening his belief.

...

After meeting Zhao Jia and coming out of Pingyi City, Zhao Tuo learned a piece of gratifying news.

Li Shiqi, who was sent to Gaoliu as an envoy, is back!

Zhao Tuo immediately led his cronies to greet him outside the gate.

Several carriages galloped up, and stopped outside the gate after a while.

"Sir is back."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth to greet him, but when he saw Li Shiqi getting up from the carriage, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Hey, why is the alcoholic's face whiter than a woman's thigh?"

Black Hip also opened his eyes wide and asked.

Li Shiqi gave a wry smile and opened his mouth to speak, but only heard a "vomit", and he spewed an unpleasant sour stench at everyone.

"Brother."

Li Shang hurriedly got into the car and helped Li Shiqi down.

At this time, everyone realized that Li Shiqi was walking with a limp, and if it wasn't for Li Shang's support, he might have fallen to the ground.

"The kumiss of the Huns...I, the Gaoyang drinker, am no match."

Li Shiqi put his hand on Li Shang's shoulder, walked up to Zhao Tuo, and let out a long sigh.

It turned out that after drinking the cup of kumiss in Shanyu's tent, it didn't take long for him to feel unwell. He was spat out and was extremely weak.

"His mother, those Huns must have poisoned their wine, right?"

Black Butt screamed, and everyone turned pale with fright.

Zhao Tuo was thoughtful, and felt that Li Shiqi's symptoms were a bit like what later generations call lactose intolerance.

Perhaps the mare's milk in the Huns' wine was not fully decomposed, making it unbearable. It may also be diarrhea caused by uncleanliness.

He stopped everyone's panic and asked Li Shang to help Li Shiqi go to the city to rest.

Li Shiqi was also considered firm-willed. Before leaving, he insisted on reporting the results of the trip to Zhao Tuo.

After Zhao Tuo listened, he nodded and said, "Mr. made an agreement with the Huns this time, and brought Chen Yu back. This is a great achievement. In the future, I will ask for credit for Mr., but now I still put my body first. Mr. go to rest. By the way, drink more water."

Excitement flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes after he ordered Li Shiqi to be supported by short soldiers to leave.

"The Xiongnu really forgot their righteousness for profit, just like the Yue people in the south. They only need some food and jewelry to buy the King of Yan. Once the King of Yan is in his hands, there will be no more scruples, and they can do whatever they want."

Zhao Tuo said to the short soldiers beside him: "Go to Zhao Guang, the rear army, and ask him to prepare food and cloth, and buy King Yan back tomorrow."

"only."

The short soldiers led the order, and the generals also became excited.

Before the attack on Daicheng, there were a lot of pearls, jade and cloth in the treasury, which was enough to exchange for King Yan's money, so this transaction basically put no pressure on the Qin army.

Putting aside the matter of King Yan for the time being, a cold light flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes again.

He thought of the unexpected joy that Li Shiqi's trip brought.

Chen Yu.

The guy who personally assassinated the envoy of Qin State, Xiangbang of Qi State, planned to assassinate the county lieutenant Tu Sui, and even assassinated him Zhao Tuo, has long been blacklisted by Zhao Tuo.

"I never heard that Chen Yu was proficient in assassination before. Is it because of my influence? Or did Sima Qian ignore Chen Yu's deeds when he wrote the book?"

Zhao Tuo thought to himself, striding forward.

Li Shang had already brought short soldiers to lift the tightly bound man from the back car.

Seeing the scene where Chen Yu's hands and feet were together and he couldn't move, he could only hold his head up and glared at him, Zhao Tuo laughed.

"Are you the famous assassin Chen Yu?"

"Pooh!"

Chen Yu opened his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm that he had been holding back for a long time, towards Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo reacted in time, turned to one side, and dodged away.

"Shut!"

Heiyu, Li Shang, Lu Wan and other generals who followed were furious.

Hei Hip stepped forward even more violently, and kicked Chen Yu's face so hard that he rolled around on the ground.

Chen Yu raised his head and spat out a broken tooth mixed with blood.

He yelled at Zhao Tuo: "Zhao Tuo, if you kill my elder brother, I would like to eat your flesh, sleep your skin, and cut off your head with my own hands! Unfortunately, Zhao said that children are useless, if I assassinate myself, You have already been decapitated!"

Seeing that Chen Yu was incapable of being furious, Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "Do you hate me because I killed Zhang Er?"

"However, brother Er and I are close friends, and we regard it as life and death. If you Qin soldiers kill my brother, it is like killing me. I will do my best to avenge you!"

Cut to the neck?

Zhao Tuo looked strange.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu are indeed close friends.

But if he remembered correctly, these two people turned against each other in history.

Chen Yu also personally led his troops to fight Zhang Er, who was defeated and fled. When Liu Bang recruited Chen Yu, Chen Yu even said that "the Han killed Zhang Er Nai Cong", so Liu Bang had to forge a Zhang Er head for Chen Yu to see.

Now because of Zhao Tuo's involvement, Zhang Er died early, but Chen Yu's "loyalty" was also achieved, which made Zhao Tuo feel very strange.

But Zhao Tuo thought of hearing from Daicheng that Chen Yu not only planned to assassinate him, but also followed Yan Wangxi to persuade Dai Wang Jia to join the Huns, and even in the end he Chen Yu did join the Huns, so he couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart. .

Zhao Tuo said angrily: "I have nothing to say about you avenging your elder brother. But as a member of the Xia Dynasty, you should not persuade Zhao Jia to join the Huns, let alone collude with the Huns yourself. You are not righteous, You, Chen Yu, are nothing more than a small ear."

"Hahaha, what is it to collude with Hu people? As long as I can avenge Brother Er, kill you Zhao Tuo, and cause damage to Qin, there is nothing I, Chen Yu, can't do. It's a pity that those Hu people are short-sighted and blind. And betraying me, this falls into your Zhao Tuo's hands, otherwise, what can you do to me?"

Chen Yu laughed and said, "But even if I, Chen Yu, die today, I will still be a hero praised by the world."

"I assassinated the envoy of Qin, which triggered a great war between Qin and Chu, and caused Qin to lose 200,000 soldiers, and returned in a disastrous defeat."

"I assassinated Prime Minister Qi and attracted Qi State to send troops, which almost changed the general situation of the world. If it wasn't for the incompetence of the people of Qi, the situation of the world would have been reversed by me."

"I, Chen Yu, control the situation of the world with my own strength. With such an assassination ability, no one can compare with me among the assassins since ancient times!"

"Can Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng and others compare with me?"

Chen Yu came here with great emotion, but his tone turned down again. He stared at Zhao Tuo and said, "It's a pity, a pity, I, Chen Yu, don't have the chance to kill you with my own hands. If I can kill you, Zhao Tuo, I, Chen Yu, will spend my whole life. , it’s no regret.”

Zhao Tuo was expressionless.

This Chen Yu is already full of blood, and it is meaningless to talk to him.

Compared with Dai Wang Jia, Yan Taifu Ju Wu and other captives who needed to be brought back to Xianyang, Zhao Tuo didn't need to think about Chen Yu's life or death at all.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to kill first.

Zhao Tuo ordered: "Drag on, Xiaoshou."

At the side, short soldiers immediately grabbed Chen Yu and dragged him outside.

Chen Yu stared at Zhao Tuo with those red eyes, and shouted, "Zhao Tuo, you and I... woo woo woo..."

A short soldier took off his sweaty shoes and stuffed them into Chen Yu's mouth, blocking his words, and dragged him down together with Pao Ze.

Zhao Tuo watched this scene silently, counting secretly in his heart.

"Han King Han Cheng, Zhao King Zhao Xie, Chang Shan King Zhang Er, Dai King Chen Yu..."

"The prince at the end of Qin, the fourth one."
