"General. General, big things, big things are bad!"
The person who reported the report was too nervous and the military situation was urgent. He didn't care that he was out of breath and hurriedly reported to Han Xin.
Chen Ping, who was behind him, recognized him as a member of Zhang Rang's team and immediately gestured to him: "Let's take a breath before talking. After taking a breath, let's talk."
"Someone, get him some water!"
Han Xin frowned and ordered directly to the soldiers at the door.
Soon, a soldier came to the person who made the report with a bowl of coconut water.
The person who reported the report quickly took the coconut water, drank it in one gulp, took a breath, and then said: "General Han, Director Chen, something bad is going on. Thousands of Xiou soldiers are preparing to sneak attack near Yangjiao Mountain through the Feiyingjian Secret Road. A land of food and grass!"
"What!?"
Chen Ping and Han Xin were shocked when they heard this.
If the important grain and grass land at the foot of Yangjiao Mountain is stolen, the garrison near Linchen City will soon lose supplies. Once Lincheng Chen's army changes, the First Emperor and Zhao Hao who live in Linchen City may be in trouble.
"When did this happen?"
Chen Ping reacted for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Where are those Xiou soldiers now?"
"Returning to Director Chen, we were lost in the mountains an hour ago and were told by a man from Baiyi Township who we met. He was a man who fled there with his ancestors during the war in the Central Plains. He should be reliable;
According to what he said, the soldiers from Xiou have already left Feiying Stream, and they will reach Yangjiao Mountain by walking on a secret passage of dozens of miles, at the latest in the evening! "
"There are still more than two hours before evening, and we are at least seventy miles away from Yangjiao Mountain."
Chen Ping raised his head and looked at the sky outside the door, carefully assessed it, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "Oh no, we have no time to rescue, and we can't even notify them of an early warning!"
Han Xin was also anxious and said hurriedly: "Without further delay, I will take Qingqi over right away. Maybe there is still time!"
"good!"
Chen Ping nodded in agreement, and then said to Han Xin: "You first find a way to rush there as soon as possible. I will inform the young master immediately to see if there is a way for the young master to inform the Yangjiao Mountain side first!"
"no problem!"
Han Xin resigned.
Chen Ping immediately summoned the fastest courier from the Security Bureau and handed him the written secret letter, asking him to deliver it to Zhao Hao personally.
At the same time, Han Xin brought his cavalry and ran all the way towards Yangjiao Mountain.
On the other side, Tu Sui was escorting Wang Jian to the boarding port, preparing to take a boat to Shoying.
At this time, there was still light rain in the sky, and Wang Jian was sitting in the carriage, chatting with Xia Wujie.
"Old Ling, I'm going to trouble you again this time!"
Wang Jian said with a smile.
Xia Wuji glanced at him and said calmly: "Since the general's attack on Zhao, we have met several times every year. Fast forward more than ten years, and the general is still the same as before, not caring about his body!"
"Isn't it clear to me, Old Ling, that I am eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor?"
"Ah!"
Xia Wuji snorted and sneered: "Although I know the general's loyalty to His Majesty, the general's acting skills cannot be hidden from me."
"What does Lao Ling mean by this?"
Wang Jian pretended not to know and asked Xia Wuji.
Xia Wuji raised his hand and grabbed Wang Jian's wrist, and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, the general should have an expert to assist him. Otherwise, how could this poison be cleared up in such a short time?"
"Moreover, the physical energy has also recovered, like a new life!"
"this"
Wang Jian's expression changed slightly, and then he glanced at Wang Cheng at the door, who immediately walked out of the carriage.
Soon, the cavalry around the carriage were two feet away from the carriage.
When Wang Cheng returned to the carriage, Wang Jian sighed and said with a smile: "Hey, after all, I still didn't hide it from Lao Ling."
"Hmph! I just don't want to expose you in front of His Majesty!"
"Then Lao Ling thinks it's right for me to hide it from His Majesty?"
"This is your business, not mine. I just want to know who is the master behind you? What magical elixir was given to you that is so effective!" Xia Wuji said expressionlessly.
Wang Jian chuckled: "Apart from Young Master Hao, who else has such an ability!"
"You said it was the miracle medicine given to you by the young master?!"
Xia Wuqie was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded with relief: "That's right, except for the young master, I really didn't expect anyone else to come up with such a magical medicine!"
"So, is Lao Ling willing to help me?" Wang Jian asked tentatively.
"help you?"
Xia Wuji was stunned: "How can I help you?"
"I want to fake my death on the road"
Wang Jian said seriously.
"Why do you want to fake death? What is your purpose!" Xia Wuji frowned.
As a doctor, he hated fraud very much. Moreover, Wang Jian's illness was obviously cured, and given his status in Da Qin, he did not make such a fuss at all.
Because the First Emperor's feelings for Wang Jian were extraordinary, it was impossible for him to do such evil things as "when all the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden".
But Wang Jian sighed and said: "Before unifying the six kingdoms, His Majesty once asked me who holds the future of Qin. At that time, I was attacking Chu State, and he said that Young Master Fusu was the best candidate to be crown prince."
"But His Majesty didn't reply to me at all!"
"Later, Fusu was involved in the Confucian case. I had been preparing for the South China Sea, so I didn't pay attention to him. Later, His Majesty drove Fusu out of Xianyang, and I knew that Fusu might not be suitable for that position."
"At least in His Majesty's mind, Fusu is not a qualified candidate for the crown prince!"
As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I watched Fusu grow up, so naturally I want him to sit in that position. Although I am not as determined and supportive as the Meng family, I have never denied him."
"What about now, do you still support Mr. Fusu as always?"
Xia Wuji calmly asked Wang Jian, grabbed Wang Jian's hand, but did not let go immediately.
Wang Jian didn't know the meaning of Xia Wuqi's move. If he didn't tell the truth, he could quickly detect the clues from his pulse, so he muttered a few times: "To be honest, I don't know, but I want to Young Master Hao stays here."
"How is this possible? Your Majesty will not allow the prince to hold power, and it is in a place far away from the Central Plains like the South China Sea!"
Xia Wuji was shocked and said.
"Yes, even though His Majesty thinks so highly of Young Master Hao, if he is asked to hand over the South China Sea to Young Master Hao, he will definitely not agree to it."
"So you want to threaten His Majesty with death?"
"No!"
Wang Jian sighed and shook his head: "With me in the South China Sea, it is impossible for Your Majesty to let anyone else take charge of the South China Sea."
"Didn't Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao just take over the power of the South China Sea?"
Xia Wuji immediately refuted Wang Jian.
Wang Jian glanced at him and said helplessly: "At first, I thought the same as you. With Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao in the South China Sea, the South China Sea should be safe and sound. But do you know how I got poisoned?"
"this"
Xia Wuji reacted for a moment and said in surprise: "Could it be them?!"
"hehe."
Wang Jian smiled bitterly and said with emotion:
"I am an old friend of that tribal elder. When he learned that Zhao Tuo secretly contacted their chief and planned to poison me to seize power, do you know how cold my heart was?"
Xia Wuji: "."
Wang Jian: "For the overall interests of the South China Sea, I still ate the poisonous fish. But what I didn't expect was that in order to seize power, they not only wanted to kill me, but also General Mengwu."
"Damn it! These thieves deserve death!"
When Xia Wuji heard this, he was furious.
Wang Jian raised his hand to tell him to calm down, and then sighed: "I am already old and can no longer help your Majesty to pacify the South China Sea. With them, the South China Sea may be truly unified. This is China's great fortune!"
"The old general is confused!"
Xia Wuqie was filled with rare indignation and scolded Wang Jian face to face: "If the South China Sea really falls into their hands, it will be China's misfortune!"
"Yes, I am confused, but His Majesty is not confused. He actually sent Young Master Hao to the South China Sea!"
Wang Jian smiled hoarsely: "The moment I woke up and saw Young Master Hao and you, I changed my mind."
"That matter"
Xia Wuji narrowed his eyes: "Does the young master know?"
"Young Master is born with a delicate heart, how could you hide it from him?"
"You mean, the young master also knows about the fake death?"
"It was originally the master's plan, how could he not know about it!"
"That young master's purpose is"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind"
"this"
Xia Wuji was speechless immediately, and his arms let go of Wang Jian involuntarily.
Wang Jian felt relieved when he saw him letting go of him. He immediately waved to him and said, "Okay, no more nonsense. We are about to arrive at the boarding port. I believe that their people are ambushing near the boarding port. I will wait a moment." They will take advantage of the chaos and fall into the river, pretending to salvage my body! Remember to cooperate!"
"Corpse, where did the corpse come from?"
"Hey, the body is under our buttocks. The young master prepared it in advance. The body shape is exactly the same as mine. I know you have a special skill. You can pass a silver needle to create the illusion of poisoning."
"It turns out that the young master even plotted against me."
Xia Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
Wang Jian raised his hand and patted his arm, and said comfortingly: "Old Ling, there is no need to worry about it, the young master is also thinking about the overall situation."
"Okay, for the sake of the young master, I will accompany you to go crazy."
Xia Wuqie is also a decisive person. Since he knows the ins and outs of this matter, he naturally agrees readily.
After all, Zhao Hao helped him a lot, and he had no reason to refuse Zhao Hao.
While the two were talking, a report suddenly came from outside: "Report to the old general, General Tu Sui asked the old general to prepare to board the ship!"
"Okay! I'll get ready now."
Wang Jian responded casually, then immediately took off his robe and put on the armor of an ordinary soldier.
At the same time, on the other side, the beacon tower near the boarding port.
The five thousand Xiou soldiers led by Zuo An have all occupied the beacon tower near the boarding port.
Now he is waiting for Wang Jian's motorcade to enter his encirclement.
At this time, Zuan was taking a rest in a Qin Army beacon camp. A scout from the Xiou Kingdom hurriedly opened the door and entered: "My eldest son, Wang Jian's motorcade has arrived!"
"oh?"
Zuo An, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes and rolled up from the bed. Next to him, there was a thin man with a fair face who also got up.
But I heard Zuo An say: "Have you notified General Xing Yu?"
"Notice, General Xing Yu is waiting for the eldest son to give the order to ambush Wang Jian!"
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Zuan nodded excitedly and was about to leave the bedroom when the fair-skinned man beside him suddenly took his arm and said in a low voice, "Master, I want to go with you."
"My dear little slave, I have already incurred the dissatisfaction of the generals by bringing you on this march. I am afraid that if you are allowed to participate in the military."
Hearing the fair man's words, Zuo An smiled softly and comforted him softly.
"No, I just want to be with the eldest son. The eldest son is the future prince of Xiou. Are you still afraid of them?"
"this"
Zuo An wanted to speak but stopped.
This was the slave boy he had raised in the shed since he was a child. After being castrated through special means, the plaything was similar to the transvestites of later generations.
Zuo An was very infatuated with this slave boy, far more than his wife and concubine, but this action was related to his future, which made him a little embarrassed for a while.
But I heard the man who had just reported the report carefully urging me, "My lord, the generals are waiting for you!"
"Okay, come with me, remember not to interrupt randomly!"
Zuo An finally decided to take his slave boy with him to attend the military meeting.
The slave boy smiled happily, immediately jumped up and hugged Zuo An for a kiss. The man who reported the report felt a chill and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
Soon, they came to the room where Qin Jun specially discussed matters.
I saw that the room was filled with generals of all sizes from the Xiou Kingdom. Some of them were wearing Qin army armor, some were wearing rattan armor, and some were wearing animal skins. They looked like a hodgepodge.
But when they saw the slave boy behind Zuo An, they all showed disgust.
"Master!"
When everyone saw Zuo An approaching, although they were dissatisfied with him for bringing a slave boy to the military meeting, they still focused on the overall situation and ignored the existence of the slave boy.
"Well, General Xingyu, tell me about the current situation. What should we do next?"
Zuo An looked at one of the burly Xiou generals as if nothing had happened.
Upon hearing this, the general of Xiou Kingdom named Xing Yu immediately took out the map of the Qin army and said: "Look, Sir, there are three open areas at the crossing of the river. One of them is two hundred feet away from our beacon tower. Where the terrain is flat and there are fewer trees, if we sneak attack them from the west;
They can retreat along this place. In my opinion, an army of 500 people needs to be sent to cut off their retreat! "
"What about the second one?"
"The second is on both sides of the river. From south to north, they can go down the river. If we want to pursue them, we can only pursue them from the shore, because the water is stronger about two miles downstream, and Unfathomable”
"In other words, we'd better annihilate them at the boarding gate?"
Zuo An frowned.
“Not bad, but”
"But the Qin army has three thousand elites escorting Wang Jian. It is simply impossible to annihilate them all!"
Before Xing Yu could take over the conversation, the slave boy suddenly interrupted.
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.
Zuo An's expression changed and he immediately yelled: "Shut up!"
"Young Master, I think what they are saying is nonsense. Since our goal is Wang Jian, why should we care about those Qin soldiers? Can't we just kill Wang Jian?"
"this"
Zuo An was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was reasonable, wasn't he just here to kill Wang Jian?
However, when he came back to his senses, all the generals looked extremely sad and glared at the fair-skinned man.
It was clear that they both felt their intelligence had been insulted.
If it was so easy to kill Wang Jian, why would they need to dispatch five thousand Western European soldiers? !
