Chapter 168: Capture the thief first capture the king(2/3)
"Qing Junzi, who should you Qing?"
Xiang Shaolong was convinced and said helplessly: "Of course it's up to us!"
Huang Shaohong saw that this guy didn't even have any sense of humor and found it boring, so he returned to the topic:
"What are you afraid of? Haven't we already planned to face Lian Po? The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the soil, and we can also take this opportunity to eradicate the dissidents!"
As he spoke, he even laughed: "Why do I feel that what we just said just now makes us look like traitors!"
Xiang Shaolong rarely cooperated with him: "What do you mean by resemblance?"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. To the Zhao State, what they did was considered traitors.
After laughing, Xiang Shaolong reported two more things to Huang Shaohong. One was that a person from the Qin delegation did not leave Handan with the delegation a few days ago, but avoided the eyes and ears of the Imperial Army and stayed in the Wu family.
Wu Yingyuan did not tell Xiang Shaolong about this matter, but Wu Tingfang heard his brother Wu Tingwei mention it once when he was drunk, saying that this man was the confidant of Lu Buwei's number one subordinate "Tu Xian"
, called Xiao Yuetan.
The second thing is that the head of the Guo family, Guo Zong, went to the pedestrian station twice to visit Li Yuan, the envoy of the Chu State.
Huang Shaohong knew what was going on as soon as he heard these two things. Wu Yingyuan had long wanted to defect to the Qin people, and he should have sent someone to contact Lu Buwei before he and Xiang Shaolong arrived in Handan.
This time Xiao Yuetan followed the Qin delegation to Handan, obviously to contact the Wu family and ask the Wu family to help Lu Buwei rescue Zhu Ji and Qin Wang's hostage Ying Zheng.
However, according to the original work, the real Ying Zheng born by Zhu Ji was exchanged by her with a child from a peasant family. By this time, Ying Zheng should have been dead for some time by accident.
Now, as long as Xiang Shaolong no longer has the idea of seeking refuge with the Qin State, and does not engage in the trick of substituting one thing for another, there will be no First Emperor in the history of this world.
Huang Shaohong estimated that Wu Yingyuan was in a dilemma at this moment. On the one hand, he wanted to join the Qin State, but on the other hand, his beloved daughter Wu Tingfang had already married Xiang Shaolong, and the latter was his comrade-in-arms and it was impossible to go to the Qin State with him, so
The young master of the Wu family should be in a state of indecision now.
The second thing Xiang Shaolong said, Huang Shaohong also guessed what was going on. Just as the Wu family was not optimistic about the State of Zhao, Guo Zong of the Guo family was also not optimistic about the State of Zhao. However, the person he chose to seek refuge with was not the State of Qin.
, but the Chu State, this old man is probably just like the original, wanting to get married.
Huang Shaohong thought for a moment, and although these two matters were not a big deal, they should be dealt with immediately to stop the Guo family's desire to seek refuge in other countries.
He pondered for a moment and said to Xiang Shaolong: "You and Wu Tingfang will move out of Wu's house later. Before you leave, tell Wu Yingyuan that Zhu Ji's son is a fake and he is really dead."
If you die, your father-in-law will make a decision!"
Xiang Shaolong didn't understand it at first, he just felt that the name Zhu Ji was somewhat familiar. When he associated this name with Lu Buwei's name, his body was suddenly shocked and he said in shock: "You are talking about the future.
.....already dead?"
Huang Shaohong nodded tacitly: "That's that person. I've investigated it and he died a few years ago!"
"How could he die? How could history change? You and I didn't even get here a few years ago..."
Xiang Shaolong couldn't figure it out, and Huang Shaohong didn't need him to figure it out. He changed the subject and said, "As for Guo Zong, you go back and ask people to go to the 'pedestrian station' to send Li Yuan to Guo's house and tell him to protect the Chu State envoy.
The responsibilities of the minister will be handed over to him!"
Xiang Shaolong had already recovered from the news of Ying Zheng's death. Hearing Huang Shaohong's words, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he thought of the joints and nodded immediately:
"Brother, this step is wonderful. If Guo Zong has other ideas, it will have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. If he has colluded with Li Yuan, this step is playing hard to get. You can see what they are up to!"
Huang Shaohong ignored this guy's flattery and then ordered: "You have sent people to monitor Guo Zong's side. Don't let anyone escape. Your father-in-law also has people to keep an eye on his side. The Wu family wants to leave Handan."
Yes, but you can’t cause damage, and don’t kill your war horses or anything like that!”
"In addition, your 20,000 imperial troops need to be captured. Bring some Mohists from the guild to help you defend the city. Don't let Lian Po take advantage of the loopholes. If he suddenly breaks into the city, we are not afraid, just
I'm afraid that if he kills that fat guy Ji Jie, then he will mess up the great situation, and even killing him will be of no use!"
Xiang Shaolong nodded repeatedly and suggested: "Then it would be better to send a few Mohists to guard Ji Jie, in case someone in the provincial palace is harmful to him."
Huang Shaohong ignored this point. When Xiang Shaolong brought it up, he nodded in agreement.
After the two discussed it, Xiang Shaolong left in a hurry. When the 'Dragon Palace' was replaced with the 'Sword God Palace' plaque the next day, he took Wu Tingfang and moved into the Sword God Palace.
That night, Wu Yingyuan personally held Xiao Yuetan's head in front of Huang Shaohong, as if he was holding a thorn to plead guilty. It was obvious that he had made a choice.
Huang Shaohong didn't mention what happened before, and gave him a few words of comfort before handing him over to Xiang Shaolong and Wu Tingfang to receive him.
The Guo family was not slow in their actions. They honestly sent Li Yuan back to the pedestrian area, and then imitated Wu Yingyuan and came to apologize.
Huang Shaohong was equally kind to the Guo family and told them that as long as they didn't have any dissatisfaction, everything would be the same as before.
In this way, the small thoughts of the animal husbandry Wu family and the iron iron Guo family, the two main pillars of Zhao State, were completely wiped out by him. As for whether they will resurrect in the future, it depends on who does not know what is good and what is good. By then, there will definitely be no
It would be so easy to forget it.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. What Huang Shaohong didn't expect was that Lian Po, who had already returned to Handan in his calculations, was still missing. The spies from the Mohists' Guild reported that this veteran general had been transferred from the Yanzhao border.
An army of 50,000 came towards Handan.
But these 50,000 troops disappeared without a trace in this Zhao land like water droplets melting into the sea.
Huang Shaohong was so angry that he laughed. The Mohist Guild claimed that there were more than 2,000 Mohist spies all over Zhao. Now there is no trace of such a large personnel movement of 50,000 troops. Isn't this a bit funny?
On the one hand, this shows that Mo's training is still not good. On the other hand, it also shows that Lian Po used his troops in a clever and cunning way, and he can be regarded as a famous general in the world.
While he asked Xiang Shaolong to keep an eye on the city defense, he asked Yuan Zong to transfer all the Mohists back to Handan. These people must undergo strict training from Shanrou and complete the special training plan set by Xiang Shaolong before they can be re-employed. In addition, he also
Use this opportunity to brainwash these Mohists and strengthen their belief in Mohists and their loyalty to him.
Late that night, suddenly a cry of death rang out from the direction of the West City, and several red fireworks exploded high in the night sky. The scene was extremely spectacular.
Huang Shaohong, who was meditating, suddenly opened the window and looked up to the sky. He knew that Lian Po was coming, because the fireworks were brought by him to the Mohists who were helping to defend the city to announce the news.
Xiang Shaolong had also woken up at this time. He galloped to his house and shouted: "Brother, Lian Po must be here. Get on your horse and I will take you to the city to have a look!"
"Those fireworks were used by me to ask them to call for help at the critical moment. I'm afraid it will be too late to ride on horseback!" Huang Shaohong stopped covering up, took out the flying carpet and flew out of the window, grabbing Xiang Shaolong and flying straight into the sky.
However, he did not see Ji Yanran, Zou Yan, Yuan Zong, Shanrou and others who were also awakened by the shouts of killing and looking to the west everywhere in the Jian Shen Palace. They were looking at the sky above the Jian Shen Palace in surprise.
scene.
Xiang Shaolong was pulled onto the flying carpet by Huang Shaohong. When he came to his senses, he was already a hundred meters above the ground. Looking at the scenery of Handan City under the night, he felt as if he was in a dream.
"Brother, am I dreaming or awake now?"
Huang Shaohong prides himself on being handsome and kind-hearted. In order to help Xiang Shaolong clear up his doubts, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xiang Shaolong off the flying carpet.
The flying carpet made a huge loop in the air and caught Xiang Shaolong, who was screaming and falling. Huang Shaohong then smiled and asked: "Are you sure it's a dream? I can do it again!"
Xiang Shaolong shook his head with a grimace. After being a special forces soldier for so many years, it was the first time he fell from a high altitude without an umbrella. The thrilling feeling could not be expressed in words.
However, his mental quality was strong enough, and he recovered immediately, and asked in surprise: "Brother, is this the flying carpet in 'Arabian Nights'? I've seen the cartoon of 'One Thousand and One Nights', and it's in that
There’s this!”
In Xiang Shaolong's era, the Internet was not developed yet. Some of the foreign movies he watched were pirated and he had never played online games. It was estimated that flying carpets could only be seen in cartoons.
Huang Shaohong gave the other party a look of disdain and began to lie seriously again: "This is a high-tech anti-gravity suspension aircraft in the shape of a flying carpet. Although this aircraft is thin, the mechanical structure inside is at the nanometer level. Do you know what nanometer level is?"
No?"
"I don't know!" Xiang Shaolong shook his head in confusion, saying that he was shocked. The time difference between the two of them was only more than twenty years. Has technology developed so fast?
Huang Shaohong said in his heart that you just didn't know, and changed the topic directly:
"It's too complicated to explain. Even if I tell you, you don't understand. Let's deal with the matter at hand first!"
While the two of them were talking, the flying carpet had already flown over the west city gate of Handan. Only after seeing this did they realize that it was no wonder that Mo Zhe used the fireworks for help. At this time, hundreds of people in the city were fighting with the defenders, and the war drums outside the city
Thunder rumbled, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the approaching enemy had already begun to attack the city.
This is obviously because the enemy wants to cooperate with the inside and outside, cooperate with the traitors in the city to open the city gate, and attack Handan in one fell swoop.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate were retreating steadily, and the defenders on the city wall were trying their best to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. There was no time to rescue them, and the city gate was in danger.
Xiang Shaolong breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, brother, you have this aircraft. If we came here on horseback, we must have missed the city gate!"
He is the guard of Handan City. If the city gate is lost, it will appear that he is too incompetent. After he finished speaking, he drew out his sword, with a look of determination on his face: "Brother, send me down, I will lead the troops to meet the enemy!"
Huang Shaohong shook his head: "No need, let's deal with these spies in the city first!"
After saying that, he lifted up the long bow with his left hand and held the bow with his right hand. When the bowstring trembled, an arrow was shot out.
In front of the city gate below, hundreds of swordsmen were surrounding nearly two hundred gatekeepers and attacking fiercely. One of the swordsmen was tall and strong, holding swords in both hands, and shouted loudly while slashing:
"Quickly open the city gate and follow me to welcome Shaojun and General Lian Po into the city to Qingjun's side, so as to set things right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow fell from the sky with a sound of piercing the air, and was poured into the man's body at the shoulder well. It came out from the lower back and inserted into the soil at his feet with a 'bang' sound.
Because the arrow carries so much power, even after it was inserted into the soil, the half of the blood-stained arrow feathers that were exposed were still trembling.
Huang Shaohong never expected to shoot such a world-beating arrow. This arrow actually accelerated through gravity and penetrated the person!
Blood dripped from the man's body. The man had not yet breathed his last, but he felt the power quickly withdrawing from his body, and he was kicked on his back unwillingly.
Huang Shaohong kept shooting, and the bow string opened and closed continuously, making a "buzzing" sound, and arrows fell from the sky "swish, swish, swish". Each arrow killed one person. In less than half a stick of incense, those who wanted to cooperate
He killed most of the swordsmen who opened the gates of the enemy during the siege.
The more than two hundred soldiers guarding the city gate barely realized what was going on. The enemy was almost dead. They took the opportunity to rush forward and annihilated the thieves in the city in one fell swoop.
At this time, everyone looked up to see where the arrows that helped them kill the enemy came from, but all they saw was the night sky.
After Huang Shaohong shot those people, he did not show up. Instead, he flew directly outside the city. When he flew over the city, he threw Xiang Shaolong on it and asked him to command the soldiers to defend the city.
