The rain in the south is pattering.
Although it doesn't look like much, the rainy days that last for several days are still annoying.
Because it was approaching winter, the damp wood could not be ignited at all, so the robes soaked in the rain could not be baked, and they were bitingly cold to wear.
At this time, Zhao Tuo had already taken off his armor, cursed, put on his big pants, and got into the tent.
Ren Xiao was standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
But judging from his tangled fingers, it didn't seem easy.
Zhao Tuo walked into the tent, sat down on a chair, unceremoniously took the new wine brewed by Zhao Hao, poured it into a cup, and drank it all.
"Oh! Good wine! Good wine!"
After drinking a glass of new wine, Zhao Tuo laughed heartily.
Ren Xiao snorted, turned around, and said dissatisfiedly: "General, do you still want to drink?"
"It's just fun in the midst of suffering!"
Zhao Tuo chuckled, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp: "Now that His Majesty is in the South China Sea, we have accomplished nothing, and we don't know if we will be able to drink such wine in the future!"
"Why!"
Ren Xiao shook his head and sighed. Without saying anything, he turned around and continued to look at the map.
Seeing his appearance, Zhao Tuo curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
Ever since Ren Xiao learned that Wang Jian's incident was related to Zhao Tuo, he had been in this worried state.
To be honest, Zhao Tuo was quite disdainful of Ren Xiao's state.
In his opinion, the thing has been done, and it must be done or never done.
Now Ren Xiao actually wants to wait for Wang Jian to recover, assist Zhao Hao, and lead the South China Sea politics.
It is simply the kindness of a woman!
According to his opinion, Wang Jian should be dealt with now. It would be best if he could die without seeing his body and live without seeing his body.
As a result, Zhao Hao will be completely isolated in the South China Sea.
And he can take the opportunity to drive Zhao Hao out of the South China Sea and take charge of the South China Sea with Ren Xiao.
However, we cannot act rashly now, because the First Emperor is in the South China Sea, and keeping Wang Jian can dispel the First Emperor's suspicion.
Zhao Tuo even felt that if the First Emperor was not in the South China Sea, he and Ren Xiao could cover the sky with one hand.
After all, they have an army of 500,000 to defeat Vietnam. If there are changes in the Central Plains, they can directly block the main roads and dominate the South China Sea.
"If I had known that I would have been more ruthless at the beginning, I wouldn't have recruited His Majesty!"
Muttering in his heart, Zhao Tuo picked up a lychee and put it into his mouth, and ate it happily. While eating, he said to Ren Xiao: "Junjun Ren, are you really planning to go to Xiangdi? Your Majesty is here, Maybe we can still get some benefits, and I really want to see Zhao Hao's hot air balloon!
Hahaha, I never thought that people can really fly into the sky! "
"Be careful, walls have ears!"
Ren Xiao couldn't help but frown when he heard Zhao Tuo's laughter.
Zhao Tuo shook his head disapprovingly and sneered: "Ren Junjun is good at everything, but he is too cautious. Now this military camp is ours, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, he stood up and walked slowly in front of Ren Xiao, blocking the map path; "I think Zhao Hao will be a disaster sooner or later. It is better to send him back to Xianyang as soon as possible to save us from hanging around him all day!"
"Didn't you hear what Zhao Hao said? He didn't want to come to Nanhai, but His Majesty sent him here suddenly!"
Ren Xiao sighed deeply, looked at the overly optimistic Zhao Tuo, and said seriously: "Moreover, His Majesty also said that he would send new generals to replace some of the generals in the South China Sea. This has never happened when the old generals were in charge of the politics of the South China Sea. , do you understand why?"
"Why?"
Zhao Tuo asked a rhetorical question at first, then suddenly thought of something and said anxiously: "You mean, His Majesty still doesn't trust us very much? But, since Your Majesty doesn't trust us, why did he hand over the military and political power to us? He is not afraid Are we being double-minded?”
"Do you think His Majesty can trust someone easily?"
When Ren Xiao heard Zhao Tuo's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked lightly: "Or are you overestimating your position in the Qin army?"
"this"
Zhao Tuo was speechless and didn't know how to answer Ren Xiao.
After a long time, he murmured to himself: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty will never trust a person easily. How could he do that?"
Seemingly realizing something, Zhao Tuo began to recall his conversation with Ying Zheng and the five questions Ying Zheng asked.
From those five questions, Ying Zheng had a general understanding of the situation in the South China Sea.
When he learned that the Southern Navy was currently dominated by Lao Qin people, he stopped questioning.
This shows that Ying Zheng trusts the old Qin people more than they, the generals who lead the army.
Perhaps the generals leading the army may have second thoughts, but the people of Lao Qin definitely do not.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo unconsciously clenched the corners of the table with his hands, veins popped out, and he was obviously extremely nervous.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said: "What Commander Ren means is that everything we have now is an illusion? In fact, His Majesty is already preparing a backup plan?"
"It's not too late for you to react now."
Ren Xiao sighed deeply, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Tuo: "This is a secret letter sent by someone from Yiyu Song. Can you read it?"
"Translation of Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, then took the secret letter from Ren Xiao's hand and opened it in front of him.
The letter described in detail the "kill two birds with one stone" plan of translating Yu Song and Jie Jun, which made Zhao Tuo stunned and secretly smacked his tongue.
"This Yi Xusong is really a ruthless person. He won't even spare his own brother. No wonder Zhao Hao can predict his success. It seems that I still underestimated him!"
Zhao Tuo collected the secret letter and couldn't help but sigh.
Ren Xiao looked at him, then looked at the secret message in his hand, took the secret letter casually, put it on the oil lamp in the tent, lit it directly and threw it into the brazier, and then said: "What do you think of their plan?" ?”
"The conditions are good, but it's a bit fanciful for me to cooperate inside and outside in front of His Majesty!"
Zhao Tuo smiled with disdain: "Does he think I will believe him when he says he will surrender to me? He even killed his own brothers, how can I believe him?"
"Then how are you going to respond to him?"
"Why should I answer him? As long as he dares to come, I dare to let them go and never return. By the way, I can show my ability in front of His Majesty. Why not?"
Ren Xiao: "."
Zhao Tuo: "."
The two looked at each other, both speechless.
After a while, Ren Xiao sighed helplessly and said, "Do you think we can always take the initiative?"
"this"
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't wait to ask: "Then what is the back-up plan prepared by His Majesty?"
"have no idea."
"Can Wang Jian recover and regain control of the South China Sea's politics?"
"have no idea."
"He can't hand over the power of the South China Sea to Zhao Hao, can he? In addition to his strange and obscene skills, what else can that boy do? Can he know how to fight?"
"have no idea."
".What's for dinner tonight?"
"Coconut chicken, braised pork, scrambled eggs with green onions, and boiled shrimp!"
"."
Zhao Tuo was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, why the hell do you still have something to eat now?
That’s not right! Why does this familiar menu look so much like Zhao Hao's?
Could it be that Ren Xiao was captured by Zhao Hao? Damn it!
Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking about whether to kill Ren Xiao, Ren Xiao pointed at the map ahead and said seriously: "If we can win a beautiful battle in front of His Majesty, we will truly have a firm foothold in the South China Sea. Otherwise, sooner or later, someone will replace you!"
"What's even more scary is that we don't know who will replace us, so we can only win, not lose!"
"Although Yi Xusong's plan is a bit vicious, it still does not miss a good opportunity!"
Zhao Tuo suddenly realized it and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Young Master Hao is really despicable. If it weren't for him, Yi Xusong would not have done this!"
"It's the translator Song Xian who has impure motives, but I agree with your method now!"
"any solution?"
"Kill Wang Jian first, then drive Zhao Hao out of the South China Sea!"
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He could faintly feel the ruthlessness in Ren Xiao's aura, and he nodded heavily.
Didn't Zhao Hao want to save Wang Jian?
Didn't he suggest that Ying Zheng send Wang Jian to Shoying to recuperate? Then let Wang Jian die on the road!
No matter how Ying Zheng arranges it, the death of the old general will be closely related to Zhao Hao. Let’s see how he gains a foothold in the South China Sea!
If you don’t trust our brothers, our brothers will mess with your son and let’s see what you do!
Zhao Tuo carefully analyzed Ren Xiao's decision and felt more and more feasible.
If Wang Jian's death was blamed on Zhao Hao, not only would Zhao Hao be unable to gain a foothold in the South China Sea, he would not even dare to intervene militarily.
Because the Wang family's status in the military is far beyond that of the Meng family and the Li family.
And Ying Zheng will also completely put an end to the idea of his descendants supervising the army.
As a result, the power of the South China Sea can only fall into their hands.
The more Zhao Tuo thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but bite his teeth, slapped the table and shouted: "I'll make arrangements right now!"
"Wait!"
Seeing that Zhao Tuo was about to leave, Ren Xiao immediately raised his hand to block his way, stared into his eyes, and reminded quietly: "General, have you thought about it? If you kill Wang Jian, we brothers will really have no way out. Got it!"
"What Lieutenant Ren said is as if Zhao has a way out!"
Zhao Tuo grinned, showing his strong white teeth.
When he conspired with the Baiyue tribe to poison Wang Jian and seize power by Meng Wu, he had already embarked on a path of no return.
Even if he kills Wang Jian now, he will continue this path to the end, and there will be nothing to regret.
"Now that you have thought it through, just do it!"
"OK!"
Zhao Tuo nodded solemnly, then lowered his voice and said:
"This matter must be dealt with cleanly. As long as Wang Jian is killed and the poisoned tribe is destroyed, no one will know the truth anymore! This army of 500,000 will belong to our brothers from now on!
If there are changes in the Central Plains by then, wouldn't it be great if we could directly establish ourselves as kings? "
"this"
Hearing this, Ren Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of struggle on his face, but it was quickly replaced by the desire in his heart.
Although at this time, there is no such sentence as "Princes and generals are willing to live in peace", it is possible that there will never be such a sentence again.
After all, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have already gone to the Western Regions with Zhongxian and others, and it is not certain whether they can come back alive.
But there is an unyielding spirit in the blood of every descendant of Yan and Huang.
When the sky is broken, some people refine stones to mend it; when floods come, some people dig rivers to dredge them; when plague comes, some people taste herbs to detoxify them.
No matter what problem we encounter, people can find a way to solve it.
People, with one stroke and one stroke, stand upright to the sky and the earth.
No one wants to be someone else's slave forever.
Although Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao are not from the Central Plains, they are also descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and they both have lofty ambitions in their hearts.
Whenever I think of the scene where the First Emperor was so powerful that all people surrendered, I feel that I can take his place.
"Done!"
Zhao Tuo shouted loudly, grabbed his clothes and went out of the tent: "I will contact Yi Yusong now to join their plan!"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
There were still people coming and going in Wang Jian's military tent.
This time, not only Ying Zheng was watching Wang Jian from the side, but Zhao Hao was also watching him from the side. This made all the doctors at Daqin Medical Center, including Xia Wuji, afraid that they would make a mistake.
Seeing Xia Wu and holding his breath while checking Wang Jian's pulse, Ying Zheng quickly asked him: "How is it? Is the old general's condition okay?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The old general's condition is quite stable, but it will take time to clean up the fish poison. I will take care of him slowly when he is born in Shouying!"
Xia Wuqie cupped his hands helplessly.
"Okay, then Dr. Lao will be here!"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then watched Xia Wuji and others leave.
At this time, Wang Jian had already sat up from the bed, and said with some displeasure: "Your Majesty, I really want to go to Shouying to recuperate?"
"Yes, there is no need to discuss this matter, otherwise I will stay in Nanhai and watch you all the time!"
"Let's forget it. I don't want to be charged with seducing your Majesty."
When Ying Zheng heard Wang Jian's words, he couldn't help but stare; "What is it about charming your Majesty!? Don't talk nonsense in front of this junior!"
"hehe."
Wang Jian smiled noncommittally, and then turned to look at Zhao Hao; "Sir, I told your Majesty before that you can be crowned king after Baiyue is defeated."
"Old man!"
Before Wang Jian could finish his words, Ying Zheng stopped him and said, "I didn't promise you at all!"
"Besides, this guy knows nothing about land warfare. How can he rely on naval warfare to pacify Baiyue? If he really relies on naval warfare to pacify Baiyue, he won't be able to make him a king, but he can."
"Your Majesty, do you really mean what you say?!"
When Wang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but sit up in shock as he was dying of illness.
Zhao Hao blinked his eyes and showed a cute expression.
But Ying Zheng said again: "Don't think that I don't know your plan. You want to find some benefits for this kid in the South China Sea."
"What, I've been fighting all my life and I don't have a successor, why can't I support the younger generation I care about?"
"What kind of junior? In terms of seniority, you have to call him my brother-in-law!"
"Oh? If Your Majesty wants to talk like this, should I call you father-in-law?"
"you!"
Ying Zheng was so choked by these words that he shut his mouth.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and finally burst out laughing.
When the two saw Zhao Hao laughing, they started laughing too.
To be honest, in this relationship, they are the only ones who dare to make such a joke. If it were anyone else, the grass on their graves would probably be too tall.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao didn't interrupt randomly, otherwise the two of them might have given him a double critical hit.
After the laughter, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but fall into silence.
After a while, Zhao Hao tentatively said, "How about we go out for a nice meal and chat while eating?"
Looking for follow-up subscriptions, full subscriptions, monthly tickets, and recommended tickets.
