The early winter in the South is like a deep pool, but the mountains and forests outside Linchen City are filled with rare tranquility.
At this time, Wang Jian was leading the shogunate generals to inspect the city wall.
Wu Nian, who was behind him, looked around the outside of the city and said with some worry: "Old General, although the Young Master destroyed the Minyue Navy, he stationed his troops in Shipu and did not come back to help Linchen City. With just our small force, Can you hold it?"
"A strong man serves his country and blames himself. Is it because he is worried that he will not be able to defend his country, so he does not defend it?"
A faint smile appeared on Wang Jian's face: "If that's the case, what's wrong with your arm?"
"this"
Wu Nian hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and cupped his hands and said, "The old general's lesson is correct. The last general is speechless."
"Wu Nian, based on your understanding of the young master, will he fight an uncertain battle?"
"The old general has something to say. If the young master has other arrangements, I will be willing to obey your orders!"
Wu Nian immediately assumed a submissive attitude.
Wang Jian shook his hand, smiled with all his strength, and then stopped at the crenellation of the city wall and said with a smile: "I used to think that conquering Baiyue would require a lot of manpower and material resources, but the master's plan has taken most of the time away. I'm afraid it won't take long for Baiyue to be conquered." Yue will be put down by the young master!"
"Not only have Xiou and part of the Minyue navy been destroyed now, is it too early to talk about pacifying Baiyue?" Wu Nian asked in confusion.
Wang Jian turned to look at him, and sighed: "You have never seen the real combat situation of gunpowder weapons. When you do, you will understand that times have really changed."
"In the past, we had to destroy a navy of 30,000 people. How much did it cost? Now look at how much the young master paid to destroy a navy of 30,000 people. You will find that pacifying Minyue may not be that difficult. !”
"Moreover, the master's plan goes far beyond that."
Having said this, he suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Wu Nian, and said leisurely: "Have you ever heard of the term 'arms dealer'?"
"Arms dealer?"
Wu Nian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head blankly.
Wang Jian chuckled and was about to explain.
At this moment, a Sima suddenly ran up from a distance and reported eagerly: "Old General! There is a large army approaching ten miles outside the city. It seems to be Zhao Tuo's rebels!"
"Um?"
Wang Jian and Wu Nian looked at each other and immediately ordered: "Send my military order and put the whole city on alert!"
"promise."
The messenger ordered Sima to retreat as promised.
Wu Nian immediately came forward and asked, "Do you want to inform His Majesty?"
"Where is your Majesty?"
"It seems that we have gone to the back mountain."
"Back Mountain?" Wang Jian frowned: "Did you go with Zhao Gao?"
"No, I went with Yan Le!" Wu Nian shook his head.
Wang Jian was a little surprised: "Isn't Yan Le always with the young master? Why did he go to your majesty?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the Young Master's arrangement. Otherwise, I can send someone to ask the Young Master?"
Wu Nian asked tentatively.
Wang Jian thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "No need, let's guard Linchen City first!"
"good!"
Wu Nian nodded, and then followed Wang Jian's instructions to set up defenses on the city wall.
At the same time, the Yangjiao Mountain Camp was about twenty miles away from Linchen City.
Zhao Hao's breakfast today was very exquisite. Fresh coconut milk was poured into milk, which turned into sweet coconut milk.
There were also scallops and oysters that I got from nowhere.
Put it in the baking pan and bake it, sizzling, and the delicious smell suddenly fills the entire camp.
These two guys, Han Xin and Chen Ping, would naturally not let go of such delicious food.
The two of them passed by pretending to be casual, chatting to distract Zhao Hao, then reaching out like lightning, and walked away with the entire plate.
Zhao Hao was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction. The two of them added up to at least three hundred kilograms, and two hundred and ninety-nine kilograms were treason!
I don’t know how Kunzi disciplined them in the first place!
By the time Zhao Hao finished baking another plate, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
But looking at the quiet camp, Zhao Hao couldn't help but frown slightly.
Are you living too leisurely?
It doesn’t even feel like a war!
There is no sense of crisis at all.
Thinking of this, he called Wu Ya over and asked, "What's going on over there in Linchen City? Is there any movement from Zhao Tuo?"
"My people haven't come back yet, and I didn't see any signal last night. I guess there shouldn't be one!"
Wu Ya pondered.
Zhao Hao nodded in a funny way and said: "It seems that Zhao Tuo is more calm than I thought, but it would be nice to make my father happy."
"Then us"
Wu Ya was about to speak when he suddenly felt a cold arrow coming from a distance. He immediately jumped up and knocked Zhao Hao down: "Young master, be careful!"
"Assassin! There is an assassin!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding guards immediately drew their swords and rushed out of the Chinese army's tent with shouts.
They never expected that someone could sneak into the camp and commit an assassination.
However, before they could catch the assassin, Zhao Hao saw a circle of cloth at the end of the arrow and hurriedly said to Wuya: "Brother, go and bring the arrow to me!"
"Um?"
Wu Ya reacted, followed Zhao Hao's gaze, and found the cloth strip on the arrow. He quickly stood up and pulled out the arrow.
At this time, Chen Ping and Han Xin, who came after hearing the news, hurriedly walked to Zhao Hao and helped him up.
"What's going on, sir? Is there an assassin?"
"Sir, are you okay?"
"fine."
Zhao Hao waved his hand and walked straight to Wu Ya without saying anything else: "Brother, look at what it says here?"
When Wuya heard this, he immediately took off the rolled cloth and unfolded it to check.
The next moment, his face changed drastically and he said angrily: "Zhao Gao wants to help Zhao Tuo and the others poison the soldiers and civilians of Linchen City!"
"What!?"
Zhao Hao was shocked and seemed not to have expected this situation.
Chen Ping and Han Xin looked at each other and looked at each other.
"Quick! Get your horses ready! Follow me to Linchen City!"
Without any time to hesitate, Zhao Hao quickly greeted Chen Ping and Han Xin.
However, before he could mount his horse, another messenger came to report: "Master Qi, there is a signal coming from the direction of Linchen City. It seems that Zhao Tuo has launched an attack on Linchen City!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Hao snorted and sneered: "It's true that misfortunes never come singly!"
When Han Xin heard this, he immediately asked for orders: "Master, how about I lead the cavalry to rescue Linchen City first?"
"It's too late for you to rush for help now!"
Zhao Hao shook his head, thought for a moment and said: "I think you should go to Shipu to prevent Minyue from cooperating with them and let us ignore both sides!"
"But with the small number of troops in Linchen City, can we hold it?"
"It's okay, I have a way!"
"this"
Han Xin was speechless and couldn't help turning his head to look at Chen Ping.
But Chen Ping laughed and said: "Don't you know the master's ability yet? Don't worry, with me here, the master will not be in danger!"
"All right."
Han Xin responded helplessly, then surrendered to Zhao Hao and others.
Soon, Zhao Hao led Chen Ping and dozens of cavalrymen from the Security Bureau and rushed out of the Yangjiaoshan camp at lightning speed.
When they arrived near Linchen City, Zhao Tuo's army's first attack on the city was underway.
Zhao Hao did not choose to appear in front of the two armies, but took a detour to the mountains behind the shogunate.
From that secret letter, it can be concluded that this person seems to know the whereabouts of Ying Zheng well.
Moreover, this person is not Yan Le.
"Sir, there are His Majesty's people on the mountain."
Chen Ping discovered the situation on the mountain immediately and quickly reminded Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao looked up and couldn't help but said with some doubts: "Zhao Gao poisoned, why did he bring my father with him? Could it be that he wanted to put the blame on my father?"
"Maybe it's to deceive others."
"But if Linchen City is destroyed, he doesn't seem to have anything to hide."
"this"
Chen Ping was speechless, and suddenly thought of something, and slapped his forehead: "Is his real purpose to lure the young master here?"
Zhao Hao was stunned: "How do you say this?"
"Have you forgotten what you told Yan Le?"
"You mean, he discovered the clue?"
"Probably."
Chen Ping frowned and said: "Zhao Gao is a very deep man in the city. It is impossible to trust Yan Le easily..."
"Then what should I do?"
Zhao Hao asked rhetorically.
Chen Ping thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "Pretend you don't know anything, talk nonsense, and wait and see what happens!"
"good!"
Zhao Hao readily agreed.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the mountain: "Gongzi Hao, Your Majesty asked you to come up!"
"It seems that you really wanted to lure me here!"
Zhao Hao murmured something in a low voice, and then led Chen Ping and others up the mountain.
Not far from the top of the mountain, I saw steaming steam, which seemed to be a natural hot spring. On the left side of the hot spring, there was a thatched pavilion. Zhao Gao was standing in the pavilion, bowing and waiting.
"Sir, Your Majesty is taking a bath in the hot spring. Please come this way."
At some point, Yan Le came from the forest and made an invitation gesture to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao glanced at him lightly and walked straight to Maoting without saying anything.
Chen Ping and others planned to follow Zhao Hao, but Yan Le raised his hand to stop them.
"Your Majesty doesn't want anyone to disturb you, just wait here!"
"snort!"
Chen Ping pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted coldly. He obviously didn't take Yan Le's words to heart and just rushed over with his men.
At this moment, more than a hundred armored Qin soldiers suddenly rushed out of the forest, staring eagerly.
"Um?"
Chen Ping frowned and was about to ask Zhao Hao.
But Zhao Hao said calmly: "Just stay there!"
"But young master."
"This is an order!"
Zhao Hao dropped the sentence without any doubt, then walked straight towards Zhao Gao, joking with a smile: "Zhao Fu Ling knows how to find a place, but I didn't expect there to be a hot spring here!"
"Thanks to the young master's care, Your Majesty has a rare opportunity to come out and relax."
Zhao Gaopi said with a smile.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but curled his lips and said: "You come out to relax, don't you care about the situation at the bottom of the mountain? Zhao Tuo has already begun to attack the city!"
"Um?"
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there was a faint cry of killing coming from the bottom of the mountain.
But Zhao Hao said with excitement again: "Why doesn't Zhao Fu Ling want to seize such a rare opportunity? If he cooperates with Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao, he might be able to 'hijack the emperor to command the princes' and become king in the South China Sea!"
Maybe he can even become a prime minister!
When the time comes, we will be rich and noble, so don’t forget each other! "
Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Hao strangely and said slowly: "I don't know whether I am the prime minister or not, but my life must be left here."
"how could be?"
Zhao Hao joked with a playful smile.
At this moment, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, walking towards him, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing! I will not rebel with you! Don't talk about the position of prime minister, just help me become the emperor It’s no use!”
Zhao Gao: "???"
When did I say that I would help you become the emperor?
Dog Zhao Hao! You are a real dog!
Just now, you encouraged me to collude with Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao to "hijack the emperor to command the princes", but now it's me supporting you as emperor to rebel?
Please be a human being!
Looking at the somewhat panicked Zhao Gao, Ying Zheng waved his hand calmly, and he left the pavilion as if he had been granted amnesty.
At the same time, he made up his mind to get rid of this guy Zhao Hao if there is a chance.
Zhao Hao looked carefully at Ying Zheng who walked into the pavilion, and he breathed a sigh of relief. But just when he was secretly glad that Ying Zheng was okay, he found that Ying Zheng raised his hand and slapped him.
"Father! Don't you want to hit me again?"
Zhao Hao covered his butt with one hand and took half a step back subconsciously.
At this moment, a faint fragrance came out from Ying Zheng's robe.
Zhao Hao sniffed his nose lightly and sighed:
"After all, I made the wrong payment, Father."
Ying Zheng's big hand raised in the air suddenly stopped, and he frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
"My father smells like a woman!"
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
Ying Zheng's face darkened.
Zhao Hao pretended not to know and winked: "Hey, I don't know which family this girl is from, it's such an honor to be favored by my father;
My father is worthy of being a father. In this remote place, I can actually find a beautiful woman. Don’t forget your son and ministers when you get married! "
"."
Ying Zheng was speechless and didn't know how to answer the question.
Zhao Hao muttered to himself there:
"Oh, by the way, the women outside don't plan to get married, do they? In fact, that's fine. It's just a concubine. It's not a queen. There's really no need for a big wedding!"
Ying Zheng: "."
"It seems that I am going to have a stepmother again. I just don't know how old this stepmother is and how pretty she is than Aunt Qing."
Ying Zheng: "."
"If Aunt Qing is not as beautiful as Aunt Qing, the child she gives birth to will definitely not be as good-looking as me. By the way, Father, can you still give birth? Hey, don't do anything. If you have anything to say, just say it."
For a long time, Zhao Hao held his buttocks and grimaced in pain.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said solemnly: "I ask you, did you capture the wives, children, and children of Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao?"
"Um?"
Zhao Hao was stunned: "How does Father know?"
"On my way up the mountain, I met a woman. She claimed to be Zhao Tuo's wife and begged me to forgive them!"
"oh."
When Zhao Hao heard this, he was a little disappointed for a moment, and more importantly, it was a pity.
He originally thought that he could direct a drama about the First Emperor, and then he would change his name to "Wang Shushu" and write an interesting unofficial history, so that he would be famous for generations to come.
Now it's completely ruined.
Zhao Gao, who is a bastard, is indeed a thief, and he did not follow my plan.
"Why did Zhao Tuo's wife appear on the mountain? Why did she come to see my father?"
Zhao Hao asked pretending not to know.
"I should ask you this question, what are you doing here?"
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, with evil in his eyes.
This brat actually plots against me!
Fortunately, Zhao Gao discovered it in time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wash away the reputation of "loving other people's wives" even if I jumped into the sea!
