Chapter 211 Unfortunate people

Beijing is located in Shaojing Mountain and Minshan Mountain.

This is a very important place, because it is a must-pass place for the King of Ye from Xinzheng to the Ye Wang, and from here you can cross the Si Shui to the Zhou Kingdom. This place was once occupied by the Qin people. Wei Wuji took it down and arranged an elite force to garrison here to be responsible for the contact between Zhao Kingdom and the army to go to the expedition. The food and food supplies were transported from here, and the Wei Kingdom also sent troops to protect the surrounding cities and could support them at any time.

In the Beijing schoolyard, the soldiers were still practicing, and the shouts of killing sounded across the sky. This sound not only did not make the people in the Beijing feel at ease, but it made them even more frightened, because some of the language habits of Zhao State were actually similar to that of Qin State. For example, when they shouted for killing and rushing to the words like this, the Three Jin and Qin State both had great similarities, but there was only a slight difference. The Koreans could understand what they were calling, but they didn't know whether this was a Zhao State or a Qin State.

At noon, the newly promoted Duwei Ping found the generals in the army and sat in the tent. Ping looked at everyone seriously and looked at them with a hint of anger. The generals sat around him, and there were more than 7,000 defenders here. The commander was Ping Ping. Ping always smiled and had a good temper. He never got angry with his soldiers, nor did he treat his colleagues meanly, so everyone loved him.

However, seeing Ping's face was not good, everyone was very confused. What happened?

Sitting in the upper position, he looked at the generals around him seriously. He spoke, "The second and third sons received great favors from Xinling Jun... Now it's time to repay him." Hearing him say this, everyone was shocked. Then he calmed down. Everyone here was indeed all the confidants who were looking forward to Wei Wuji. Otherwise, Xinling Jun wouldn't let them stay in this important place.

Some of them followed Xinlingjun from Wei State? Some of them supported the reform? Ping Ping was the best among them. Ping was the first to support the reform and participated in the assessment? And became the first county magistrate appointed and removed by King Zhao? In the following days, they were promoted continuously. It can be said that they were the people Zhao Bao and others who wanted to get rid of the most.

"I wonder what kind of orders Xinlingjun has?"

A long bearded man asked seriously.

Ping then continued, "I received the secret order from Xinlingjun..." He raised a bamboo slip and then said, "Silly things like Zhao Bao? I want to take advantage of the opportunity of Xinlingjun's conquest outside to kill those officials who passed the assessment? Completely destroy the reform, even the guests who stayed in Handan by Xinlingjun will be attacked. Such villain's actions are something that even despicable people like me will feel shame and anger."

"Xinling Jun asked us to return to Zhao State? He was called Pioneer? He shocked the traitors inside and outside Handan City? He was to prevent the villain from destroying the reform and hurting our friends."

As Ping said that, everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Ping was so angry. It turned out that the villains behind Zhao Bao were in trouble. When they talked about Zhao Bao, everyone became angry and cursed with gritted teeth, using all the most vicious words in the world. When Ping saw everyone's statement, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Can Er Sanzi follow me to Zhao State and help Xinling Jun?"

"This time we go to Handan, we cannot implicate Xinling Jun. If something happens, we can only bear it ourselves... If Ersanzi is afraid and dare not do this, he can leave now, but he must not disclose this matter." Ping said this, and a general stood up, drew out a short sword, held the sword's edge directly, and cut a hole in his palm, then said angrily: "Although I am not from a high family, I also know what righteousness is. Please don't humiliate us like this!"

"If I can't complete this for Xinlingjun, I will never be alive!"

Everyone made oaths, but some people said worriedly: "If we leave, who should we garrison here? Can I see Xinling Jun's secret order?" Ping suddenly slapped the wooden case and said: "After we leave, Xinzheng's defenders will come to take over the defense here. As for the secret order, there are no secret orders! If you are afraid, please stay!"

Ping spoke like this, and no one said anything more.

.........

"What?!" Wei Wuji widened his eyes, looked at the scout beside him, and asked with uncertainty: "What did you say?"

"The Beijing garrison followed Du Wei Ping and returned to Zhao State, but did not contact the surrounding garrisons. The scouts also disappeared." The scout said helplessly. Wei Wuji sat down and frowned. The defenders of Beijing ran away. All of them became deserters. What was the situation? Wei Wuji knew that the generals here were loyal to him, especially Ping, who was the leader.

Ping Zai Wei Wuji's first confidant was accepted by Zhao State. He was upright and humble. He was very talented and always helped him advance the reform process. What happened? They would not be deserters. Wei Wuji firmly believed in this. There were many of his own confidants. If they were deserters, they would be too failure. Then why did they hurried back to Zhao?

Could it be that I want to take advantage of the chaos to attack and kill Zhao Bao and others?

Wei Wuji was suddenly frightened by his own guesses. There was always no shortage of such people under his command. Some were willing to assassinate Zhao Bao for him, and some were willing to recommend him to be the King of Wei. These people thought that these things were to help Wei Wuji... Wei Wuji was always happy and painful. What was happy was that these people did such things for him. They even committed suicide after the matter was completed and were unwilling to implicate Wei Wuji. But what was painful was that these people always brought him trouble.

People all over the world may admire Ma Fujun's benevolence and righteousness, but people all over the world are willing to be Wei Wuji's guests. Because Wei Wuji has something different from others, Mengchangjun regards his guests as "parents". Whether they have or not, they are delicious food and drink. Pingyuanjun regards his guests as subordinates, promotes and reuses those who are talented, and expels those who do not show their abilities. Chunshenjun regards his guests as tools and uses them to achieve his goals.

Only Xinlingjun treats his guests as friends. He will get drunk with his friends without regard for etiquette, hunt with them, and talk about beautiful girls. Wei Wuji likes to make friends. He is most afraid of being alone, so he will always be uneasy. Perhaps because of this, although his guests are not as many as Mengchangjun, they all make friends with sincerity and are willing to die for him.

Xinlingjun said to the scout a little impatiently: "Quickly ask Xinzheng to send someone to replace the local defense!"

After the scout left, Xinlingjun gently knocked on the wooden case in front of him, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Ping had always been gentle and never said that he wanted to assassinate Zhao Bao. He just wanted to solve the enemy for himself. What's the use of bringing seven thousand people? Lian Po was still in Handan, carrying tens of thousands of elite soldiers. No, something was wrong. Xinlingjun recalled it seriously.

"Xinling Jun... I am from Zhongmu and have a humble background... I ran to Handan before Bai Qi attacked Zhongmu."

"I came to participate in the assessment... I didn't expect it to pass."

"Please beware of Chang'an Jun, I heard of him...ah..."

Wei Wuji suddenly woke up. A commoner who was humble from a background but proficient in government affairs, a commoner who lived in Zhongmu, a commoner who had never participated in the war in the Great Frontline in the era, a commoner who knew all kinds of inside stories of the royal family and had been provoking conflicts with Chang'an Jun... He was a spy!! Wei Wuji's face turned red and his eyes widened. He was very angry. He liked to make friends and would not change because of his background or talent. However, he hated betrayal from his friends.

"Come here!" Wei Wuji shouted, and a few warriors came in immediately. Wei Wuji hurriedly found the bamboo slips and started writing. He wrote letters to King Zhao, Yu Qing, Lian Po, and even Zhao Kuo. He finished writing quickly. Then he handed them over to the warriors in front of him, and told him: "Try to Handan with all your strength, be sure to hurry!" The warriors nodded and hurriedly left.

Wei Wuji was about to write another letter when a general came in and said, "The Qin people captured Lin City and are now attacking Shan Clan City. King Han sent someone to ask for help." Wei Wuji shouted angrily, kicked the wooden case in front of him, and slowed down for a moment, before saying, "Why did Bai Qi attack Shan Clan City? He wanted to rush from Shan Clan City to Beijing? How did he know that Beijing is now an empty city? Oh... Ping, the spy of the Qin people."

Wei Wuji suddenly laughed, took out his wine bag, took a sip, licked his lips like aftertaste, and said, "I originally thought that I was just fighting with Wu'anjun, but I didn't expect that I was fighting with Yinghou and Wu'anjun... OK, I informed the garrisons near Beijing to withdraw all the troops back to Xinzheng... Fan Ju and Bai Qi were just two old men who were napping in the grave. What's there to be afraid of?"

Wei Wuji laughed and took another sip of wine. Now, the Chu people have been defeated and have no combat power. There are many conflicts between the Zhao and Wei coalition forces. The princes clamored to resist Qin, but none of them sent rescue. Fan Ju and Bai Qi worked together to deal with the coalition forces. The Qin army played a sing of triumphant songs all the way. Things had developed to the worst. When Bai Qi captured Beijing, he cut off his ties with Zhao. Ha, Wei Wuji took another sip of wine.

Suddenly, he became serious and said seriously: "Let all the troops give up their defense zones for me and gather in Yangdi..."

"I want the Qin people to taste the taste of fear."

"Give up the defense zone? This?" The general wanted to say something. Seeing Wei Wuji's unkind gaze, he didn't say anything. He bent over and bowed and then walked out.

.........

The Duchy of the Western Zhou Dynasty, during the reign of King Kao of Zhou, he appointed his younger brother Jieyu in the royal city, and the territory was west of the Qin River and south of the Luo River, and was the Duke Huan of the Western Zhou Dynasty, forming a small country of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Later, due to the rebellion of Prince Gen, Zhao and Han divided Zhou into two parts, and the capital of Zhou was divided into two parts, the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou Dynasty. In the eighth year of the Zhou Dynasty, because the emperor of Zhou rejected the rude request of the King of Qin to resist the tripod, the furious Qin King sent people to attack the Zhou palace, and the King of Zhou moved to the King of Western Zhou Dynasty.

The current Western Zhou monarch, surnamed Ji and famous, has truly experienced the humiliating history of the Zhou emperor being expelled from the royal city by Qin. It is precisely because of this that he was very resentful of the tyrannical Qin, but he did not dare to oppose the Qin people on the surface, but he just revealed his ambitions to his confidant. Because of Chunshen Jun's envoy, the Zhou emperor ordered the princes of the world to attack Qin, and the Chu State also formulated an alliance with the other countries.

The princes rose up and responded, which was something that the King of Western Zhou had never thought of. It was as if the Emperor of Zhou had returned to the noble status of the past, and ordered the heroes of the world to be the lord of the world. The King of Western Zhou was very excited. So, after the Emperor of Zhou borrowed money from the rich people in the country to organize an army of 5,000 people, the King of Western Zhou personally led the army to attack the Gaodu area. From here, he wanted to join the coalition forces and become the commander of the coalition forces.

Now the commander of the coalition army is heard that it is a young man, Xinling Jun, who is also a nobleman of the Ji surname. However, the King of Western Zhou felt that he was not as noble as himself. Perhaps he should teach the young man how to fight and dream of being the commander of the coalition army. The King of Western Zhou once again accelerated the marching speed. Just as the army was advancing in a scattered manner, a scout suddenly came to report.

"Shangjun...there is a Qin people's grain transport team ahead!"

The King of Western Zhou was shocked and did not dare to get out of the car. Looking at the scout, he hurriedly asked, "How many of them are there?"

"It's all civilians, horse-drawn carriages, no chariots, no cavalry. There are less than a few hundred troops guarding the grain chariots. It seems to be here to guard against thieves..." The scout said seriously. The King of Western Zhou raised his head and laughed. He was worried that he had no credit and could not make the coalition forces obey. Isn't this a credit given by God? The Qin people's grain chariots, with less than a thousand people, are not the elite of the Qin people.

The King of Western Zhou suddenly became brave, and he shouted: "Let the three armies be prepared for battle, and we must defeat the elite Qin army in front of us!"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and then the entire army started to move.

The young man was riding a horse and escorting food. He seemed a little unhappy and a little lonely. He was once General Wang's personal soldier. However, because General Wang's personal defeat in Changping, he was seriously injured again. His unscathed personal soldier was almost killed. Fortunately, Wang pleaded for him, and in the end he was punished. He was demoted to the first level and served as an insignificant official.

Thinking that Wu'anjun was chasing the coalition forces of various countries, but he could only transport food and grass here, the young man sighed again.

Suddenly, he saw a strange movement in the distance. A group of farmers raised their weapons, carried Zhou's flag, and shouted, "There is no organization or general," and rushed towards him. What's the situation? Thieves? How could thieves have such excellent weapons, Zhou's flag, and chariots?"

Wang Jian was confused.
