General Qin

Hengshan County, outside Dongyuan City.

The Qin army who went south from Daidi set up camp here.

Some Qin soldiers sighed: "This war of destroying the country is too fast. We have only been in Daidi for a few months. Is this the end?"

The other person raised his head with a proud expression: "Of course, you don't even look at who the general is. This is General Zhao! Fighting with General Zhao, you will win every battle, and you will be promoted to the rank of nobles for meritorious service."

"I don't know when the king will start to fight Qi. I don't know if Naigong will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to be promoted. This time, he will be promoted to the highest level, which is one level away from the hairpin that let my son enter the school. If It would be great if we can take Qi State by the way.”

There is also Qin Zu who is still unsatisfied with the war, full of desire to be promoted.

"I want to eat, Qi is so big, how can I take it by the way. Didn't you see that we all left Daidi and returned to Hengshan? I see, after the rewards are finished, we will break up and go home. My family is in Shang Dang, go faster, and you can go back to catch the autumn harvest."

Some people are thinking about the autumn harvest at home.

In the Qin camp, the soldiers all looked relaxed.

In their view, their task is considered complete by destroying Dai Guo this time.

Compared with the relaxed mentality of the soldiers after the war.

In the commander's battalion, General Zhao Tuo still had a dignified expression, and made a new strategic deployment with the generals under his command.

"General Yang Yuan is a veteran general, he led 10,000 people to guard Dai's land, so there is nothing wrong with him."

"The army is temporarily stationed in Dongyuan, and it is said that it is necessary to send an envoy to report to Xianyang, and wait for the king's edict to arrive before proceeding to the next step, so as to secure the hearts of the soldiers."

"During this period of time, the soldiers can relax, give out titles and money rewards, and loosen the control, so that the second and third sons can go to the city to go to the women's house and the market, shopping and having fun."

"In addition, another news will be released to the outside world. It is said that after the eradication of the dynasty, Qin State has plans to go north to Yandi, expel the Hu people, and conquer Liaodong."

Hearing this, Li Shiqi, the counselor, clapped his palms and smiled: "The general's trick is good. Not only can he rest his soldiers, but he also uses the possibility of leading the army north again to conquer Liaodong as an excuse to let the people of Qi put down the general's garrison at Mount Heng." Be vigilant."

Zhao Tuo shook his head and said, "This is the king's wisdom, not my plan."

At the beginning, Qin Wangzheng wanted him to conquer Liaodong by the way after he destroyed Dai, but Zhao Tuo refused on the pretext that Liaodong was remote and the barbarians were difficult to destroy, and recommended Li Xin as a general.

At the same time, it is recommended to focus on Qi State, followed by Liaodong.

Qin Wangzheng finally adopted Zhao Tuo's suggestion.

This king with a strategic mind decided to use the Liaodong incident to make a fuss after convening all the important ministers to discuss.

First let Zhao Tuo lead the army to attack the dynasty, while the Qin State cultivates its national strength. After the autumn harvest, the grain warehouse is full and everyone is full of energy. At this time, they will send troops to conquer Qi State.

At that time, they could use the pretext of attacking Liaodong to transfer food and fodder and mobilize troops in an open and honest manner. After the troops were stationed at the border and the troops were deployed in place, they would openly declare war on Qi.

In this way, the Qi people can be caught off guard, reducing the casualties of the Qin army, and unifying the world more smoothly.

Of course, it is also true that the state of Qin conquered Liaodong. At the same time as Qi was conquered, the Qin National Congress sent Li Xin as a general to go north to Yandi and subdue Liaodong.

"Hengshan is only one Julu County away from Qidi. Since I stationed troops here, I should also say hello to my friends in Qidi. I should write a letter to say hello to Da Sima."

...

Just when Zhao Tuo led his army to the south, stationed troops in Dongyuan City, Hengshan County, and sent envoys to Xianyang to report the war.

The news of the Qin army's destruction of Dai and the capture of King Xi of Yan and the defeat of the Huns was also spread around through the word of mouth of merchants from all over the country and the letters sent by Kuaima.

In Yandi, there is no end city.

In a local rich mansion of Yan people, a handsome man in dark clothes was playing the piano in the pavilion.

The sound of the piano is sad, as if mixed with the emotions of the piano player.

Lamentation, desolation, and sometimes anger that sharpens the harpsichord.

It's autumn, the surrounding flowers and leaves are withered, and the branches and trees are yellowing, which originally meant bleakness, but now in the sound of the piano full of anger, there is a more chilling feeling.

A man of strong stature strode over.

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

"Zifang, the Qin general Zhao Tuo did as you expected. After going south from Daidi, he stationed his troops at Mount Heng and stopped."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Zhang Liang rested his fingers on the strings, looked ahead calmly, and sighed quietly: "The Qin army is about to go south, and Qi is about to perish."

Gongsun Xin's expression froze, and he said, "You mean that Zhao Tuo will lead his army to destroy Qi, but I heard that Qin's army will probably go north to recover Liaodong, which was occupied by Hu people."

Zhang Liang smiled, and didn't get entangled in this matter, but turned around and asked: "Tian Chong was sent to the Qin State as the great Sima before, and in the Qin Palace, he competed with the generals of the Qin State in the art of war, and won consecutive victories. Have you heard about it?"

Gongsun Xin nodded and said: "It is said that Tian Chong defeated Qin generals Wang Ben, Meng Wu, and even Zhao Tuo in a row. It is a shame to worship him on the spot."

"So it is widely spread that Tian Chong is not weaker than the generals of the Qin army in terms of the art of war. The reason why the Qi army was defeated in Zhencheng was because of Zhao Tuo's sneak attack. What do you mean by Zifang, it is Qin Someone cheated?"

Zhang Liang said indifferently: "Since then, Qin State has been planning to destroy Qi. Qin people will support Tian Chong, who can only deduce the art of war, to make his position as the chief minister more stable. When Qin State officially When Qi Qi is attacked, this proud Great Sima will definitely suffer a big loss."

"As for what you just said about Qin's desire to recover Liaodong. Hehe, in the remote areas of Liaodong, the enemies are all barbarians. Why does Qin need to send a large army to attack? Just send a good general to lead an elite army to the north. So the matter of recovering Liaodong It's just a pretense to confuse Qi people."

"This time, Zhao Tuo stationed troops in Dongyuan, probably with the intention of destroying Qi. When Qin State used the mouth of Liaodong to gather its troops, it could attack Qi State in one fell swoop. And Zhao Tuo was able to attack Tian Chong in Zhencheng Once, did you know that this time he won't attack again?"

Gongsun Xin felt chills all over his body when he heard it. He didn't expect the people of Qin to be so cunning. He whispered: "Since Zifang has seen that the Qin army is about to destroy Qi, should we send someone to remind Qi State so that they can have peace?" guarded against."

"Remind Qi Guo? Hehe...hehe..."

Zhang Liang smiled coldly.

In the first battle of Zhencheng, Gongsun Xin and Chen Yu went to Dongjun to carry out the assassination, and then hid from the pursuit of the Qin people in Dongjun. They did not personally experience what happened to the people of the four kingdoms in Qi.

In Qi State, Qi Wangjian and Qi Xiangtianjia were confused by the conditions offered by the envoy of Qin State, and put the responsibility for the defeat of Zhencheng on the people of the four countries.

Zhang Liang, Lord Hengyang and a group of righteous men from the Four Kingdoms hurriedly fled to Daidi.

As a result, he was defeated by the Tian clan in Dicheng on the road. Zhang Liang escaped by chance, but Han Cheng, the king of Hengyang, fell into the hands of the Qi people and was escorted to the state of Qin to be tortured to death.

Thinking of the closest comrade-in-arms against the Qin Dynasty, who was betrayed by the people of Qi, and finally ended up being torn apart by a car.

Zhang Liang's heart was full of hatred for Qi Guo.

"The people of Qi have no faith. Even if the country is destroyed, they deserve it. Why should we remind them?"

"Besides, the people of Qi used the orders of our righteous men from the four kingdoms to make friends with Qin, and put their hope of survival on the kindness of the people of Qin. Do you think they will believe me when we remind them?"

"The five kingdoms are all destroyed, so what's the use of keeping Qi? It's better to perish. Only after Qi is destroyed, those arrogant, treacherous and unrighteous Qi people will stand with us and fight against the Qin people together." Revenge, seeking restoration."

Gongsun Xin was taken aback by Zhang Liang's words.

He thought for a while, nodded and said: "What Zifang said is also reasonable, and that Zhao Tuo is so powerful, this time he not only destroyed Dai, captured Zhao Jia and Yanxi, even the Xiongnu was defeated by him, I think Qi State is fine. If you are prepared, you will definitely not be an opponent, Qi will surely perish this time."

"Zhao Tuo..."

A look of fear flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

"Qin has a veteran general like Wang Jian to rule the country, famous generals like Wang Ben and Meng Wu to lead the army, and a successor like Zhao Tuo. Even if the six countries join forces, they will never be the opponent of the Qin army on the battlefield. So let's stop thinking about using the army to counter the Qin army, that's a dead end."

"If you want to restore the country, you can only make the Qin country into chaos. If you want to make a country into chaos, there is no better way than the sudden death of the monarch."

"Let's go, the Yan people here say that there are often brave warriors among Dongyi, who are strong and good at fighting. Let's go and have a look, maybe we can find a suitable person."

Speaking of this, a figure of a person flashed in Zhang Liang's mind.

He whispered: "Although Chen Yu is dead, I, Zhang Liang, will inherit his way of assassination."
