The sun in the east rises slowly, illuminating the entire mountainous area.
Blood and water can be seen everywhere, mixed with the rain after the rain has passed, and the sky has cleared up, forming a river of blood.
The mountains of corpses looked particularly poignant and tragic under the golden sunshine.
At this time, the Qin army, which had stopped attacking, gathered around the battlefield, silently looking at the bodies of the Vietnamese soldiers and their comrades, and they couldn't help but have a little doubt about the arrow rain last night.
Why are there so many comrades here? Shouldn't they all be Vietnamese soldiers?
No one could explain what was going on, so they just watched quietly without saying a word.
At this time, Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao came on horseback, glanced around the battlefield, then turned to look at a Five Hundred Master, and said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone alive?"
"Back to General, no one is spared on this battlefield."
The Five Hundred Masters handed over their hands sadly: "Even General Zhou Fu died on the battlefield!"
"Why."
Zhao Tuo sighed and said with righteous indignation: "These cunning Yue people do not regard us Qin people as human beings, but dare to use us Qin people as human shields. They deserve death!"
Ren Xiao: "."
Wubai Lord: "."
"Comrades, don't be too sad. They died for their country and nation, and they deserved their death!"
All the Qin troops: "."
"Okay, let's clean the battlefield first to see if there are any other gains, and then send scouts to search around to ensure the safety of this place!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Zhao Tuo immediately waved his hand.
"No." Lord Five Hundred breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Zhao Tuo glanced at Ren Xiao, who frowned slightly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Just now, a scout came to report that there were Yue people wandering nearby last night. Later, they searched and found no trace. I think it must be the translator Xu Song who rushed to the rescue. They found It’s strange that he didn’t come to die!”
"Ah!"
Zhao Tuo snorted and said: "This kid's luck is really good, but you don't have to worry, he is more valuable alive than dead. Next, the Yue people will organize a coalition of troops to fight against us!"
"Do you believe Gongzi Hao's prophecy?"
"Is this important? Anyway, what we are waiting for is the Yue people's counterattack, no matter which organization it is!"
Zhao Tuo said a little funny.
"That"
Ren Xiao hesitated and said, "What about Wang Cheng's side?"
"I've asked Shi Lu to pick him up. I should be able to stabilize him!"
"Shilu?"
Ren Xiao was stunned: "He also took refuge in you?"
"No, I just arrested his family."
Zhao Tuo smiled solemnly, and then changed the subject: "Asking him to deal with Wang Cheng will make it easier to gain Wang Cheng's trust."
"Okay, then just follow the plan!"
Ren Xiao nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "I saw the bodies of Zou An and Xing Yu, what should I do with them?"
"Let me report to Your Majesty first. I heard that Zhao Hao led his men to level the Yangjiao Mountain and attack the camp. We cannot fall into a disadvantage!"
"What do you think about Han Xin?"
"It's just a nameless person, nothing to be afraid of!"
Zhao Tuo sneered and immediately rode away from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Wang Cheng and Xia Wuqi had just crossed the Li River, and before they had time to rest for a while, they saw Shi Lu leading people over.
However, looking at Shi Lu's expression, he seemed a little unnatural.
Like a more honest bandit.
There were less than a hundred guards left behind Wang Cheng, and most of them were injured. Even the doctors from the Daqin Medical Center were not spared.
But fortunately, they are all in very good spirits, and everyone has an expression of surviving the disaster.
When Zhou Fu led the remaining Qin army to cut off the rear, they watched most of the battle between the two sides. It must be said that the scene was extremely brilliant.
If it weren't for Zhou Fu, they would have died in the hands of the Yue people.
"Captain Wang, congratulations on your successful escape!"
When Shi Lu saw Wang Cheng, he quickly handed over to him.
Wang Cheng didn't pay much attention. After all, it was on the shady side and the sky was not as bright as the other side. Without looking carefully, it would be difficult to notice the details on the other person's face.
He just responded to Shi Lu calmly: "We can escape from danger, thanks to General Zhou Fu who risked his life to cut off our rear;
The Yue people are treacherous and attack us without any reason. After this battle, we, the Qin Dynasty, and the Baiyue people are at odds with each other! "
"hehe."
Hearing this, Shi Lu forced out an ugly smile and echoed: "Yes, the damn Yue people must not be spared lightly;
When the time comes, let General Zhao Tuo lead an army to conquer them and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind! "
"Oh? General Zhao Tuo is here? Where are the others? Why didn't you see him? Let him save General Zhou Fu!"
"Ah, General Zhao Tuo is not here. He specially asked me to lead you to the Chinese army camp."
"If it's not here, where is that? Zhou Fu still needs his rescue!"
Wang Cheng was a little surprised, and then he looked anxious again.
Although the chance of Zhou Fu surviving is low, if Zhao Tuo rescues him in time, there is still a certain chance of surviving.
However, Shi Lu quickly said: "General Zhao Tuo will definitely come to rescue General Zhou Fu. You don't have to worry. Follow me to settle in the Chinese army camp first;
Hot soup and rice are ready, and some hot water is boiled for the brothers to take a bath and treat their wounds. "
"this"
Wang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Wuji, who nodded slightly in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, he nodded and agreed: "Then let's go to the Chinese Army Camp together!"
After saying that, he took the guards behind him, as well as Xia Wuche and other doctors, Tu Sui, and Zhao Chi, and headed to the Chinese army camp.
But just when they came to the door, Xia Wuqi suddenly stopped, pondered for a long time, looked at Shi Lu who was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "River Canal Order, I remember that you should strengthen the river bank on the Xiang River, why did you come suddenly? Li Shui?"
"Ah? This"
Shi Lu's eyes were full of panic, and it could be seen that he was struggling internally.
Of course, it wasn't because of Xia Wuji.
For Shi Lu, Xia Wuji was just an imperial doctor and had no affiliation with him. Xia Wuji should not know his whereabouts, but Xia Wuji really said that he should be in Xiangshui.
So, this explains a problem. Someone informed Xia Wuji of his whereabouts.
Looking back carefully, there are no more than three people who can know his whereabouts. One of them is the First Emperor, the second is Lao Zheng Guo, and the third is Zhao Hao.
Shi Lu wasn't worried about the first two, because it was basically impossible for them to tell Xia Wuji about this.
Only Zhao Hao and Xia Wuji had frequent contacts, and Xia Wuji came to the South China Sea with Zhao Hao.
Thinking of Zhao Hao, he couldn't help but think of his immediate superior, Ling Datian.
It is said that Datian Ling died in the hands of Zhao Hao.
If Zhao Hao learns that his country Zhao Tuo deceived Xia Wuji, it is very likely that Zhao Hao will not let him go.
However, when he thought that his wife and children were still in the hands of Zhao Tuo, Shi Lu gritted his teeth again and said in a deep voice: "The banks on the Xiang River are being reinforced, and there is another problem on the Li River. I came to Lishui to take a look. , no surprise!”
Hearing this, Wang Cheng's expression was gloomy and he said coldly: "Where is Zhao Tuo? Does he have any conspiracy?!"
Shi Lu smiled bitterly, thinking that he had indeed been seen through. People said that the old general Wang Jian was an old fox. Wang Cheng, who was following him, was not a fool either. He could see the clues at a glance.
"No, General Zhao Tuo is chasing the Yue army, but he will be back soon!"
Wang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "So you brought us here to let Zhao Tuo catch us and complete his conspiracy?"
"I"
Before Shi Lu could explain, hundreds of cavalry suddenly rushed in from outside the camp, and instantly surrounded Wang Cheng and others.
I saw Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao, standing high above the war horses, looking at Wang Cheng and others with interest.
Wang Cheng was unafraid and raised his head to look at him.
Shi Lu was caught in the middle of the two groups and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
After a moment, Wang Cheng looked at Shi Lu and said coldly: "Why, Hequling has taken refuge with General Zhao Tuo and plans to commit treason?"
Shi Lu smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Wang is serious, I am just a guide."
"Ah!"
Before Wang Cheng could continue to speak, Zhao Tuo, who was sitting on the war horse, let out a laugh, raised his hands and said: "Captain Wang, on your Majesty's order, we are here to meet the old general. I wonder where the old general is?"
"On his way back to Shoying, the old general was attacked by Yue people and died unfortunately. His body had been snatched away by Yue people and his whereabouts are unknown!"
Wang Cheng said sadly.
Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "You mean, it was because of your disadvantages in protecting the old general that he died tragically at the hands of the Yue people?"
"What!?"
Wang Cheng was shocked and couldn't help but said: "General Zhao Tuo can't say this nonsense. We were attacked by Yue people and it was not what we wanted!"
"Then why was the old general's body snatched away by the Yue people? As far as I know, the location of the attack on you was the boarding port, but now you are in the hinterland of the Yue people. How do you explain it?"
Ren Xiao interjected.
Wang Cheng glanced at him and explained helplessly: "The Yue people attacked us, causing the old general's unexpected death. General Tu Sui was so angry that he led us to conquer the Yue tribe. Unexpectedly, when we crossed the Yuecheng Ridge, , encountered another Vietnamese attack, and that’s when the old general’s body disappeared!”
"Wang Cheng, who is so eloquent, does he really think he can fool us?!"
Ren Xiao shouted coldly and questioned solemnly: "You were attacked at the boarding port and immediately asked for help from His Majesty. We also rushed to rescue you non-stop, but you underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and were ambushed repeatedly by Vietnamese people. Is this reasonable?"
Hearing this, Wang Cheng's face gradually turned ugly, and he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Did you make a mistake? It's not what we mean, but what you want to do!"
Zhao Tuo chuckled and said playfully: "We now seriously suspect that you colluded with the Yue people, murdered the old general, and intended to rebel against our country, Da Qin. If Commander Ren and I hadn't arrived in time to repel those Yue people, I'm afraid your conspiracy would have been destroyed. You succeeded!”
After saying that, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Wang Cheng, for such a serious crime, I wonder if Mr. Hao can save you?"
"Zhao Tuo! What the hell are you talking about!?"
Wang Cheng's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief.
The guards behind him, including Xia Wuji, and the doctors at Daqin Medical Center were all shocked.
However, Zhao Tuo smiled unhurriedly and said: "Am I talking nonsense? The facts are in front of me. I think that Young Master Hao is the mastermind! He first suggested that the old general go to Shouying to recuperate, and then colluded with the Yue people to ambush the old general, and then I asked you to cooperate with the Yue tribe, but the Yue people suddenly turned against you and even you were not spared. This is the reason why you have been attacked repeatedly!"
"you!"
Wang Cheng was also shocked by Zhao Tuo's words and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He never expected that Zhao Tuo would beat him and others down. This was so shameless!
However, when Zhao Tuo saw that Wang Cheng was rendered speechless by him, he couldn't help but smile proudly: "Why don't you quibble? Are you being told by me? With this little trick of yours, you still want to hide it from me. It's so simple." wishful thinking!"
"It's pitiful that the old general was so wise all his life, but he was plotted against by his own people. It's really sad and deplorable!"
After saying that, he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Come here, tie them up with me!"
"promise!"
Suddenly, hundreds of cavalrymen from the periphery, armed with crossbows, approached Wang Cheng and others.
The guards around Wang Cheng are elites carefully selected and trained by Wang Jian. Faced with this situation, they are still fearless in the face of danger, holding swords and protecting Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng stared at Zhao Tuo, wishing to kill him with his own hands, and shouted: "Zhao Tuo, you are confusing right and wrong, aren't you afraid of Wang's law?!"
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo seemed to have heard some big joke, and pretended to be surprised: "Where do you think this is? This is the land of Ouyue, a land of barbarians. Your Majesty's body is thousands of times. How did you get here?
Even if His Majesty is in Linchen City, he may not pay attention to you, a rebellious minister and traitor! "
As he said that, he suddenly remembered something and added with a smile: "Oh, by the way, your mastermind is also in Linchengchen. If you want him to save you, it's not impossible. How about I write a letter of help for you?" "
"You don't really think he will come to save you, do you? He can't even save himself!"
"."
Wang Cheng's face was ashen. He really didn't expect that things would develop like this.
Now that Tu Sui was unconscious and Wang Jian was nowhere to be found, Xia Wuqie couldn't do anything to help him. He really had no choice at all.
Just when he was preparing to fight to the death and break out of the siege.
A cavalryman rushed out again, raised his hands to Zhao Tuo and said, "General, there is an urgent military situation!"
"What the hell is military intelligence? Aren't all of them dead?!"
Zhao Tuo yelled and said, "Are you blind?" Don't you see I'm busy?
However, the cavalryman said without fear: "They said they are from the Security Bureau and have important military information to report to General Zhao Tuo!"
"Security Service?"
Zhao Tuo was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ren Xiao.
But Ren Xiao's face darkened, and he said in a cold tone: "The Security Bureau is a government agency created by Zhao Hao. It is similar to Black Ice Platform and Iron Eagle Guard, and is subordinate to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Zhao Hao's people are here?
If he kills Wang Cheng and others now, will Zhao Hao discover his flaws?
No, we can’t be discovered by him yet!
hateful!
Why are there such variables!
Zhao Tuo was furious in his heart, but he gave a decisive order on his face: "Come here, take Wang Cheng and the others down. If they resist, they will be killed without mercy!"
