Chapter 109 The truth that shakes the sky

Shangdang County, Changping County, Wushen Mountain.

This mountain range is located on the west side of the famous Changping Battlefield last year, about ten miles west of the Guanglang City Camp of Qin.

Wushen Mountain is steep and there are only two very rugged paths that can be climbed up. At the top of the mountain there is a camp that looks quite simple. In the camp, a tattered black flag flutters in the wind, and the three big words "Shock the Sky" are written in the Zhao language.

This is the old nest of Taihang bandits who have greatly affected the entire Shangdang County ginseng industry.

The spy leader of Qin State, Ji Hou, sat in the lobby of the old nest that shook the sky, and was also the main seat.

It is said that it is a lobby, but it is actually a larger house made of simple wood and some mud thatch. However, the walls in the camp outside look quite tall, and many watchtowers and archers' archery points were built. The emphasis on combat places formed a sharp contrast with the sloppy place of residence.

In front of Ji Hou, hundreds of Taihang bandits lined up in a square formation. Although their armor looked ragged, their formation was unexpectedly neat.

At the front, there was a burly man who looked like a leader and was saluting to Marquis Ji: "Wang Chong has seen... sir."

This man named Wang Chong is the famous bandit in Shangdang and even Zhao State.

Mr. Ji nodded slightly at Wang Chong and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's report on the results of this period."

Wang Chong said respectfully: "According to your instructions, we have cooperated with Yu Xin during this period and have eliminated seven ginseng teams and killed 134 ginseng tourists who dared to enter the mountains alone or in groups. Now, basically all ginseng collection activities in the entire Changping County have stopped."

Ji Hou nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, very well done.

After I return to Xianyang, I will ask you for merit in front of the king.

The Wang family has always been loyal to the Qin Dynasty, and you, Wang Chong, have not insulted the glory of the Wang family!"

Wang Chong's face looked a little rosy because of Ji Hou's praise, and hurriedly said, "Sir, this is what Wang Chong should do.

Wang Chong actually wanted to know one thing, when will Zhao Kuo come?"

When talking about Zhao Kuo, a look of extremely hatred flashed in Wang Chong's eyes.

Wang Chong's elder brother Wang Ling was originally a general under Bai Qi. He was plotted by Zhao Kuo in the Battle of Changping. Wang Ling died in the Xuan City under the attack inside and outside of the Zhao army.

Therefore, Wang Chong and Zhao Kuo are definitely irreconcilable enemies.

Ji Hou laughed and said, "Wang Chong, don't worry, I have received the information. Zhao Kuo and his men have just set off from Handan, and it will probably take some time to arrive in Changping County."

Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully: "I am losing my composure, which makes me laugh."

Ji Hou waved his hand and said slowly: "Wang Chong, remember, the more we should calm down the critical moment of revenge.

Zhao Kuo not only killed your brother, but also had a total of 300,000 good men in our Qin Dynasty who died at Zhao Kuo’s hands! Almost everyone here has a grudge against Zhao Kuo and wants to kill Zhao Kuo. It’s not just you, do you understand?”

Wang Chong thrust and knelt on one knee, saying, "I know my mistake, please punish me."

Ji Hou sighed and said, "There is no need to punish me. Have all three hundred sharp men gathered?"

Wang Chong said respectfully: "It's all here."

Ji Hou said again: "All the weapons from South Korea can be thrown away. From now on, you don't have to pretend to be Koreans anymore.

By the way, all the prisoners have been captured?"

Wang Chong said: "More than 200 people have been arrested, most of them are from the ginseng team, and some are from the ginseng tourists."

Ji Hou nodded and said, "Very good.

When Zhao Kuo was killed, we would burn all the prisoners and the mountain village to death with fire, and then retreat to Hedong County.

In this way, no matter how much Zhao State investigates, it will only think that Zhen Potian committed suicide after killing Zhao Kuo by accident... Hehehe."

Ji Hou let out a series of inexplicable laughter, which made people sound creepy.

Wang Chong was still very respectful.

Mr. Ji waved his hand and said, "Please send someone to Xuanshi City to stare at Yu Xin. After all, Yu Xin is a minister of Zhao State. Even if he has such a deep hatred with Zhao Kuo, we must be wary of him.

If nothing else, you can go down.”

After a while, Wang Chong and Wang Chong's hundreds of years of subordinates dispersed, leaving only Ji Hou sitting quietly on the shabby seat in the lobby.

Ji Hou touched his beard and stared at the distant sky, unable to help but feel a little confused.

Last year, 600,000 Qin soldiers fought a decisive battle with 400,000 Zhao soldiers in this place, and the result of that decisive battle was something that all the old Qin people didn't want to see - the lives of 300,000 Qin soldiers were forever destroyed here.

But the Qin Dynasty was not the kind of country that could only indulge in failure. In fact, at the same time as the Battle of Changping failed, Ji Hou's planning had quietly begun.

A group of Qin Ruishi, a group of 100 people, quietly sneaked back to the southern mountains of Shangdang County through the rugged Taihang Mountains, becoming one of the many bandits here.

In the following six months, Ji Hou slowly quietly expanded the number of this "bandit" to 300, and used the Qin State's previous seized of South Korea's arms and some other clues to send a signal to the outside world that "the Korean soldiers who were unwilling to surrender to Zhao State fell into a bandit."

In fact, each of these 300 people is the most elite of Qin, comparable to the "reeks" of special forces in later generations.

In Ji Hou's view, the three hundred sharp soldiers were at least equivalent to the regular troops of Zhao State.

This is why Zhou Shaofen spent a lot of effort to wipe out this "bandit" when he was the county magistrate. It is also the reason why Ji Hou was full of confidence in front of Yu Xin and felt that he could kill Zhao Kuo! After a long time, Ji Hou let out a long sigh and muttered to himself.

"Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, you are certainly a genius who is rare, but since you have caused such heavy losses to my Qin Dynasty and rejected the recruitment of my king, then this time... I can only let you stay here forever!"

The sunset is setting, the sunset is bright in the sky, and a bright red color is as red as blood. The golden sunlight shines on Ji Hou's face, reflecting the murderous intent on his face.
