General Qin

Near a mountain outside Yiqu City, there are countless cattle and sheep grazing.

On the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, there is a huge mansion, surrounded by soldiers on horseback and hunting dogs roaming around, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Wuzhiluo's family is in Wuzhi County, but his family has a lot of money. In a mountain outside Yiqu City, there are also vast pastures and private houses.

"Father, the caravan has already left the fortress. After twenty miles away from the Great Wall, our people will leave the team and go to Helan Mountain on horseback to inform the Yuezhi people of the Qin army's marching route."

Wu Shifang was in his thirties, a big man with a beard, and reported the situation to Wu Shiluo who was sitting at the head.

"Um."

Wu Shiluo picked up the kumiss and took a sip.

The Yuezhi people killed the Qin envoy and threw the head of the Qin envoy in front of the Great Wall. After this incident was reported back to Yiqu City, it aroused the anger of the general Zhao Tuo.

It is said that when the general heard the news, he slammed the case in front of the sheriff and others, angrily denouncing the barbarians for being rude.

It is said that since ancient times, the two armies have fought without beheading the envoys. He led the army to conquer the six countries, even if the countries were beaten bloody, he never killed the envoys.

Now the Yue Clan pretends to form an alliance, and before the two countries go to war, they kill the envoys of the Qin State. They are not only rude barbarians, but also a naked provocation to the Qin State.

"Border barbarians, if you kill my Qin envoy, you will be killed even if you are far away!"

The general uttered bold words, and he publicly reported the matter to the 200,000 Qin troops outside Yiqu City, which aroused the anger of many Qin people, and there was an endless stream of voices for exterminating the barbarians.

Out of anger, General Shang decided not to wait for the troops from Longxi and Shangjun to join up, but to lead his army out of the fortress in half a month, break Helan Mountain, and wipe out all the Guishuang tribe of the Yue clan grazing there.

"The arrogant Qin people fell for the prairie wolf."

Wu Zhiluo laughed secretly when he heard the news.

He is from the Rong people and knows the way of the grassland people.

What the Yuezhi people did was nothing more than to anger the general, a wild beast who lost his mind, and was more likely to be hunted and killed by herdsmen on the grassland.

Qin's army of 300,000 marched hand in hand. This huge army would pose a great threat to the Yuezhi people.

Now the general was angered by the Yuezhi, so he abandoned the two sided divisions and chose to advance to Helan, and his troops were reduced by one-third. This is great news for the Yuezhi people.

What's more worth mentioning is that he, Wu Shiluo, was the largest border merchant in the Qin State. Before that, he often traded cattle and horses with the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu. To inquire about suitable routes of entry.

Wu Zhiluo was very enthusiastic and planned a suitable route for the Qin army, allowing the 200,000 troops to avoid the Gobi desert along the way and smoothly reach the lush Helan grassland.

The general expressed his satisfaction, and asked him to send another caravan out of the fortress to win over some small tribes in Henan, and to inquire about the latest Yuezhi movements for the Qin army.

This surprised Wu Zhiluo, he didn't expect the general to trust Wu Zhiluo so much.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, Wu Shiluo has the "ranking than the emperor" treatment bestowed by the emperor. He will present a large number of cattle, horses and treasures to the emperor every year. He seems to be a good businessman of the Qin Dynasty. No one would have thought that he would betray him. .

After secretly laughing in his heart, Wu Shiluo just used this caravan as a cover to pass the Qin army's marching route to the hands of Yueshi Xihou.

"Father, if this Qin army is defeated by the Yuezhi in the grassland, will the emperor send another army to attack?"

Wu Shifang asked carefully.

Wu Zhiluo snorted, and said: "If the 200,000 troops are gnawed down by the Yuezhi people, the other two divisions will definitely not dare to go deep and can only retreat. This battle will be considered a failure."

"If the emperor doesn't know what is good and bad, he still wants to fight the Yuezhi. The new general will still have to rely on our Wuzhi, and he will continue to do so at that time. If the emperor has suffered a lot and gives up attacking the grassland, then my Wuzhi will be in the Qin Dynasty. The status of the country will only rise and never fall.”

"You have to remember that only when the herdsmen outside the Great Wall and the farming people inside the Great Wall exist at the same time, can our Wuzhi clan be good at dancing between the two and benefit from it. If one of the two is gone, then I, Wuzhi, will also There will be no source of wealth."

"What my father said is that only if the Yue clan is immortal, can we continue to earn money from them and Qin."

Wu Shifang nodded, deeply agreeing.

At this moment, there were sharp whistles and the roar of hounds outside.

Wu's father and son's complexion changed, and they hurriedly pushed the door out, just in time to see that the gate of the mansion was knocked open, and soldiers of the Qin army in strong and sharp clothes entered one by one.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

With a livid face, Wu Zhiluo looked at a middle-aged scribe who was surrounded by Qin soldiers.

Li Shiqi smiled and said, "The general has invited Mr. Wushi to go to the county mansion."

"Is this an invitation? My father has the right to pay homage to the emperor and discuss state affairs. If you are so rude, we must sue the emperor!"

Wu Shifang yelled loudly, seeing those Qin soldiers bypassing them and rushing into the mansion, it was a gesture of raiding the house.

Wu Zhiluo's hands in his sleeves trembled, and he said with a gloomy face, "Then let's go, I just happened to meet the general and see what he means!"

"If you don't give a reasonable explanation, the old man will never give up!"

...

Half an hour later, Beidi County Mansion.

In the face of Wu Zhiluo and his son, they were called wronged, questioned, and even threatened to sue the emperor.

Zhao Tuo spoke calmly with a smile on his face.

"Let's waterboard Mr. Wu and his son first."

Fan Kui, who had been subjected to water torture, immediately stepped forward with a grinning grin, and captured the two of them on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers brought up the cloth and water.

Cover face, add water...

"I want to sue to Xianyang!"

"Just kill me!"

"You are a devil!"

"The general spared me!"

"I said! We passed on military information to the Yuezhi people!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Shifang realized that her old father couldn't hold on anymore, and at the moment when he opened the cloth to take a breath, he seized the opportunity, like pouring beans, how to pass on Qin's father and son to the Yuezhi people through the dead men they raised. The matter of the national military situation was all shaken out.

The son surrendered first, and Wu Shiluo, who couldn't hold on for a long time, also collapsed immediately, without being asked, and then confessed his crimes.

But in a short while, Wu Zhiluo and his son, through the trust of the general, used the caravan to convey important military information to the Yuezhi people, and immediately laid it out clearly.

Li Junshou and Yang Junwei who were watching turned pale.

"Wu Shiluo secretly communicated with foreign enemies and passed on military information to the Yue clan. This is a crime of treason. Their father and son should be sent to Xianyang, and they will definitely be punished!"

"It is thanks to the general who is aware of such a great harm to the country, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

"It should be killed!"

Li Junshou and Yang Junwei flattered Zhao Tuo, and angrily reprimanded Wu Shiluo and his son, for fear that they would be implicated by him.

Wu Shiluo knelt on the ground, his pale face was still dripping with water.

He kowtowed non-stop: "Wu Zhiluo was blinded by interests and did such a stupid thing, the general please spare his life. Wu Zhiluo is willing to give all his family property and wealth, just to spare my life."

"Excuse me, General."

Wu Shifang also cried and kowtowed.

"Hahaha, offer your family property to beg for mercy? You have all betrayed the country, and when the car cracks you, the family property will still be returned to the government."

Fan Kuai laughed out loud, annihilating the hopes of the Wu family and his son.

Wu Zhiluo collapsed on the ground, his face full of despair.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tuo knew that it was almost time.

He indifferently asked: "Treason and collaborating with the enemy is a capital offense. But the war is about to start, I think you father and son are still of some use, and I will give you Wu Zhiluo a chance to make meritorious service. If you can help me destroy the Yuezhi, I will express my gratitude for you." If you perform a meritorious service, you may be able to escape the death penalty and live as a prisoner."

"Prisoner?"

Hearing this, he had already imagined what kind of Wu Shiluo he would be when he was torn apart by a car, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the prisoner is miserable, he can survive anyway, which is ten thousand times better than being tortured by car cracking.

Wu's father and son immediately bowed their heads and said: "We are willing to sincerely help the general defeat the enemy!"

Wu Zhiluo even said with a shy face: "I will choose a new route for the general to avoid the main force of Yuezhi."

Zhao Tuo laughed.

"Avoid? Why should I avoid? I'm just waiting for those Yuezhi people to come and fight my Qin army!"

"One battle determines the outcome!"
