About forty miles south of Dai City.
In a mountain forest, several human heads emerged from the trees.
"The king has led his elite troops to lie in wait in the valley. As long as this operation is successful, if Zhao Tuo dies and the Qin army is in chaos, my army can take advantage of the situation and attack."
"As long as the Qin army is defeated, the danger of the fall of our country will be lifted, and the king will not have to kneel to the Huns for help. He said, the survival of the Zhao family of our country depends entirely on you."
Elder Zhao looked at the young man beside him.
Zhao said he looked about sixteen years old, with a bit of immaturity on his face.
Facing the elder's words, he nodded firmly and said: "I met Zhao Tuo when I was a child. All I need to do is tell my name and say that I am coming to surrender to him. He will definitely see me. When the time comes, I will take advantage of the opportunity of getting close to him. Then you can kill him with one sword and save the country from danger."
"Zhao Jun is really heroic. With this young warrior on behalf of the country, this matter will definitely succeed."
On the side, Chen Yu touched his palm and praised, then turned to tell him: "This Mrs. Xu's dagger is a famous weapon in the world and is very expensive. It was used by Jing Ke when he assassinated Qin in the past. Now we are here during this period. Quench it with medicine and test it on people. If it is wet with blood, everyone will die. Zhao Jun must remember not to hurt himself when using it. "
At this point, Chen Yu's eyes shone again and he whispered: "As long as I can hurt Zhao Tuo with this blade, he will have no reason to live!"
After a while.
Young Zhao Shuo walked out of the jungle and walked towards the Qin army camp in the distance.
Behind him, the words of hope rang out.
"Back then, Qin Wuyang, a strong man from the Yan Kingdom, followed Jing Ke to assassinate Qin. On the way, he was killed by a traitor, and the assassination of Qin failed. With Qin Wuyang's young murderous appearance, if he goes to the palace, can his assassination of Qin be defeated? This time , I hope Zhao Tuo can have the courage of Qin Wuyang to kill Zhao Tuo in one fell swoop."
…
Qin army camp.
Zhao Tuo divided his 70,000-strong army into three parts.
The Xingjun camp is located at the forefront, with a total of 20,000 people, led by General Pi Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan was born in the Yang clan and was just over 40 years old. He followed Li Xin and Meng Wu to attack Chu, and followed Wang Jian to participate in the battle to destroy Chu. He personally led troops to attack Huaiyin and defeated Jingju and Cai Niao's Chu army with Zhongli Mei. The military can be said to be quite experienced.
This time, the King of Qin appointed Zhao Tuo as the chief general and Yang Yuan as the deputy general, which was considered very thoughtful.
Even if something unexpected happened to Zhao Tuo, Yang Yuan, a veteran general, would be able to command the army and the arrangements would be very secure.
And because of Yang Xiong's relationship, Zhao Tuo and Yang Yuan got along well, and there would be no disagreements between them.
Zhao Tuo then ordered Yang Yuan to lead his soldiers as the vanguard of the Xingjun army. With his rich experience in the army, he would clear the way in front to guard against the surprise attack of the Dai army.
About six or seven miles south from Yang Yuan's troops, there was a 30,000-strong Chinese army led by Zhao Tuo himself.
Further back, there were 20,000 rear troops holding heavy supplies of food.
At this time, it was getting dark, and the Qin army set up camps everywhere, dug stoves to cook, and prepared to eat.
In the Chinese army camp, the head coach under Yu Baolong's tent.
Zhao Tuo sat in the upper position and began to listen to the military intelligence reports of the generals in the account.
"General Yang Yuan reported that a large number of Dai army cavalry were found ten miles in front of the Xing army. Our scouts could not get close. They could only protect the surroundings for several miles to prevent Dai army cavalry from spying. General Yang said that as this place approaches Dai city, I am afraid that Dai army People may think of a night attack, so I ask the general to take precautions at night."
Li Shang read out the information sent back by the former army.
"General Yang is truly a prudent general."
Zhao Tuo praised.
The Qin army was less than two days away from Dai City. It was normal to find a large number of Dai army cavalry ahead, and there was no need to be suspicious.
However, because Zhao and Dai were the origins of cavalry, and Dai people’s cavalry was strong, and they were familiar with the terrain, the Qin army’s scouts were no match for Dai people. Once they were released too far, they would be easily killed by them, so the Qin army lost To detect the longer distance ahead.
In this case, even if the main force of the Dai army approached for more than ten miles, the Qin army could not detect its traces, so Yang Yuan reminded Zhao Tuo to strengthen night defense to prevent the Dai army from sneak attacks.
"General Mengtian, the defense will be strengthened tonight, and sentries will be sent around the camp to patrol continuously."
Zhao Tuo issued military orders.
"only."
During this expedition, Meng Tian, who was promoted to General Pi, immediately accepted the offer.
After issuing the order to strengthen the vigilance, Li Shang read out the letter from Zhao Guang, the rear army.
The rear army was in charge of escorting the heavy supplies of food and fodder. There were few fighting soldiers but many auxiliary soldiers.
The letter sent from Zhao Guang said that the governor of Hengshan County had ground all the wheat harvested this year into flour with a stone mill in accordance with General Zhao's requirements, and asked the civilians to escort them here.
"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 inconsequential military information, which Zhao Tuo still dealt with in a serious manner.
There is nothing trivial on the battlefield, and some small negligence may lead to a big defeat. Zhao Tuo cannot help but be careless.
At this time, a figure appeared outside the door, and Xiqigu, who had been promoted to the rank of military commander, walked in and reported: "General, someone claiming to be the general's brother Zhao said that he came to seek refuge with the general. He said that he knew the reality of the city and was willing to offer it to him. General."
"My clan brother, Zhao said?"
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
Zhao said that he had no impression of this name. After thinking about it for a long time, he dug out the other party's identity from the depths of his memory.
Clan brothers are the so-called clan brothers, which sounds like they are very close.
But in fact, it is far behind. Although it is among the five servers, it is the furthest one.
Those with the same father are full brothers, those with the same ancestor are cousins, and those with the same great-grandfather are cousins.
Only those who share the same ancestor 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 calculated that among the entire Zhao family, there were countless people who had 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 been in contact when he was young. He and Zhao Shuo had played together, so he had some impressions.
But that doesn't mean we don't need to care about the relationship between clan brothers.
On the contrary, in this ancient feudal society, the clan brothers within the five servers were a very important and intimate relationship, and An Neng could give up the blood relationship at will.
Not to mention that Zhao said that he came with important information.
Later, Cao Mengde heard that Xu Ziyuan came to surrender with information, but he excitedly greeted him barefoot.
Zhao Tuo was about to get up and go to greet him according to the etiquette of this era to show his enthusiasm, but when his heart moved, he felt that what Zhao said was too coincidental.
Thinking back to the information sent back by people from the Qin State, not only Zhang Liang was in Dai City, but also Chen Yu and Gongsun Xin, who were specialized in assassinations.
That guy Zhang Liang is an old cunt.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but be more cautious. He sat back and asked Xiqigu to call Zhao Shuo to the tent.
"General, do we want to evade this?"
Meng Tian asked, since the person who came was General Zhao's clan brother, it would be okay if they, General Qin, were present.
"It doesn't matter. Since he came with military information, it would be good for everyone to listen and judge whether the military information is true or false."
Zhao Tuo spoke.
After a while, Xiqigu led a young man into the military tent.
Zhao said his face turned a little 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 the Zhao Tuo clan, the Qin army would never neglect him, let alone search his body, and he could take the poison-quenched Mrs. Xu with him. The dagger approaches Zhao Tuo.
But what was different from the original plan was that Zhao Tuo actually ignored his blood relationship and the importance of the "intelligence" he carried. Not only did he not greet him in person, but he also had people take him to the headquarters full of Qin generals. Account comes.
Looking at the mighty Qin generals in the tent, all the sharp and majestic eyes fell on him.
Think about what you are about to do.
Zhao said he swallowed, his face turned pale and his legs were trembling.
On the main seat.
Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows.
"Why does my brother stop moving forward?"
