Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 120 Inheritance

"Young Marshal Xiang, since you can't make up your mind, I will make this decision for you!"

After yelling these words loudly, the middle-aged man who claimed to be the envoy of Wei drew out his sword from his waist with a clang, and went straight to Zhao Yi, the envoy of the Qin Army, with a murderous expression on his face, and shouted again, "Traitor of the Qin army! Die!"

"Wei envoy calm down!" Zhou Zeng shouted anxiously.

"Stop him! Take it down!"

Xiang Kang's tone was also very anxious, and Xiang Kang's soldiers on both sides reacted quickly, and immediately went forward with spears and halberds to stop the Wei Guo envoy from assassinating Zhao Yi, but the Wei Guo envoy's actions were even faster, and before he could wait Xiang Kang's personal soldiers stood between him and Zhao Yi, and rushed to Zhao Yi's front, shouted loudly and stabbed Zhao Yi in the chest with his sword, "Death!"

I never dreamed that the envoy of the State of Wei would be so decisive, and dared to assassinate himself in front of Xiang Kang, the master of Pengcheng. Of course, Zhao Yi, who was unprepared, was killed by surprise, but fortunately, no matter how frightened he was, the natural reaction was not enough. When the envoy of the State of Wei stabbed with his sword, Zhao Yi subconsciously dodged to the right, dodging the envoy's deadly sword, but the envoy of the State of Wei's sharp sword still pierced Zhao Yi's left shoulder. , while the blood splattered, Zhao Yi also howled like a pig, "Oh!"

"die!"

The envoy of Wei State still refused to give up when he stabbed with a sword, and he drew his sword and wanted to stab Zhao Yi in the chest. Unfortunately, Xiang Kang's personal soldiers had already blocked them all, and one of the envoys of Wei State used his halberd to blow away the sword in the hand of the envoy of Wei State. , Another soldier hugged the Wei Guo envoy from behind, and the other soldiers rushed forward, and hurriedly pressed the Wei Guo envoy to the ground. The Wei Guo envoy struggled and shouted, and the hall was in chaos .

"The envoy! The envoy! Are you alive?" Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng rushed in front of Zhao Yi together, while anxiously checking Zhao Yi's injury, he shouted even more: "Quick! Quick! Go to the doctor!" Work! Send medical workers to heal the envoy's wounds!"

It was still at this time that Zhao Yicai, who had been frightened away by three souls, finally came back to his senses, first saw that his injured part was not a fatal point, and then Zhao Yicai asked Xiang Kang with a pale face: "Young commander, where are you going?" Why is this? Why does the messenger from outside dare to kill someone with a sword in front of you?"

"Forgive me, my envoy, but I never thought that this envoy of Wei would have the guts to assassinate you in front of me." Xiang Kang pleaded guilty, "I didn't protect the envoy well enough to hurt the envoy." , is my crime. Please rest assured, I will give you an explanation about this matter!"

"Young Marshal Xiang, don't bother with this tyrant Qin envoy, kill him with one sword!" The envoy of Wei State who was pinned to the ground struggled and shouted: "Don't worry, our King Wei is already gathering troops to attack Guanzhong. , as long as you hold back the Tyrant Qin army here for a while, our Wei army will be able to enter Guanzhong and kill the tyrant Hu Hai! As long as you hold back the Tyrant Qin army for a while, our army will enter Guanzhong, and the Tyrant Qin army will surely You have to retreat!"

"Shut up!" Xiang Kang yelled angrily, and said angrily: "Wei Tuo, I respect you as an envoy of the Wei State and treat you with courtesy. You don't want to thank me, but you dare to act in front of me." In front of him, assassinate the guest of the young marshal! Bind him!"

Xiang Kang's soldiers sang a promise, and quickly tied up the Wei Guo envoy with a rope. The Wei Guo envoy struggled and roared, "Let me go! Let me go! Xiang, if you are smart, let me go immediately, and kill me again!" Kill the envoy of Tyrant Qin! Don’t think that if you surrender to the Tyrant Qin army, the Tyrant Qin army will spare your life! Don’t forget that you are the first general of the Chu state to raise the flag against Qin Yi and kill countless The officers and soldiers of the Tyrant Qin surrendered to the Tyrant Qin, and the Tyrant Qin will never let you go! Never let you go!"

Roaring, the envoy of the State of Wei also screamed in despair: "Only by joining forces with our king of Wei is your only way to survive! As long as you hold back the Tyrant Qin army for a while, our army of the State of Wei can take the opportunity to kill you!" Enter Guanzhong, attack Xianyang, and kill the tyrant Hu Hai! Don't be foolish! Don't be foolish!"

Hearing the yelling of the envoy of Wei State, Xiang Kang's face was gloomy and hesitant, but in the end he shouted: "Shut his mouth, take him down, and find him later!"

According to Xiang Kang's instructions, the envoy from the State of Wei was gagged and forced to drag him down. At the same time, the medical staff rushed to treat Zhao Yi's wounds. Fortunately, the envoy from the State of Wei did not hit a fatal point with his sword. Although Zhao Yi was bleeding profusely, However, there was not much danger. After a quick treatment by the medical staff, Zhao Yi's blood was still quickly stopped, and the wound was quickly bandaged and perfected.Xiang Kang didn't want to be at ease, in addition to asking people to take Zhao Yi to the backyard where he lived to take care of him, he also asked the medical staff to guard Zhao Yi's side at all times to prevent Zhao Yi's injury from getting worse suddenly.

In the evening, Xiang Kang came to visit Zhao Yi in person. He first asked about Zhao Yi's physical condition, and then he bowed to Zhao Yi and pleaded guilty. Your noble body is injured, I am truly unforgivably guilty of death. But I can swear to God, I never intend to connive Wei envoy to assassinate you on purpose, please ask the envoy to investigate clearly, and please report to Zhang Han The general, and General Zhang Ping, I really didn't mean to hurt their envoy on purpose."

Knowing that if Xiang Kang's soldiers hadn't stopped him in time, his life would have been lost today. Of course, Zhao Yi also believed Xiang Kang's words. Instead of accusing Xiang Kang of not protecting him well, he comforted Xiang Kang and said: He didn't mean to blame himself, Xiang Kang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a valuable gift to Zhao Yi, as a gift of apology for himself.Zhao Yi declined politely, and then asked: "Young Commander Xiang, what are you going to do with that envoy from the Kingdom of Wei?"

"I have already driven him out of Pengcheng." Xiang Kang replied, and then said: "Please rest assured, I have not concluded any alliance with him, and even wrote a letter of guilt for him to bring to Wei Jiu, so that Wei Jiu can deal with it himself. He is a disrespectful emissary, if Wei Jiu doesn't give me an explanation, I will never let him go lightly!"

Very dissatisfied that Xiang Kang did not kill the envoy of Wei State who hurt him, but Zhao Yi, who was in the enemy camp and his life was in the hands of others, had no choice but to hold back his anger and took the opportunity to persuade Xiang Kang to surrender to the Qin army as soon as possible. , but Xiang Kang could not make up his mind about this decision, he repeatedly excused that he needed time to think about it, but never gave Zhao Yi an accurate answer.In the end, Xiang Kang half-forced Zhao Yi to accept his apology gift, and then left, letting Zhao Yi rest in peace.

When the next day was approaching noon, Xiang Kang came to visit Zhao Yi's injury again. After learning that Zhao Yi's injury was stable and not getting worse, Xiang Kang was relieved first, then immediately took out a sealed letter, and said nervously "My envoy, I just received the news that your striker is only [-] miles away from Pengcheng. This is a letter I wrote to General Zhang Ping. Please work hard. Now go out of the city to contact your army. Please Your army should not rush to launch an attack for the time being, so as not to hurt your peace, please also send the letter from the envoy to General Zhang Ping, and ask General Zhang Ping to make a decision."

What he was doing was running errands back and forth. Of course, Zhao Yi couldn't refuse Xiang Kang's request. Zhao Yi could only get up with his injuries, walk out of the county temple with the support of Xiang Kang's personal soldiers, and board the carriage he had brought before. Immediately went out of the west of the city to contact the Qin army, and successfully ran into the vanguard of the Qin army less than twenty miles west of Pengcheng.Then, under the guidance of the vanguard of the Qin Army, he soon met the main force of the Qin Army's partial division led by Zhang Ping, and met Zhang Ping.

Not to mention, seeing Zhao Yi come back with injuries, Zhang Ping was really taken aback. He once thought it was Xiang Kang's murderous hand, and the Young Marshal was going to fight him to the end this time.However, after Zhao Yi carefully introduced the whole story, Zhang Ping immediately flew into a rage and roared, "Wei Jiu is a traitor! How dare the envoy dare to kill our envoy, but he dared to take advantage of the false attack to attack Guanzhong!" , Sneak attack our rear! In the future, if you don’t kill this traitor, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my general’s heart!”

"General Zhang, it's best to report this matter to the General immediately, and please take precautions." Zhao Yi suggested, and then said: "Although that traitor Xiang Kang said that he didn't make an alliance with the traitor Wei Jiu, But how he did it, only he himself knows, if we fall for him and Wei Jiu, we only keep an eye on him and neglect to guard against Wei Jiu's traitor, and give Wei Jiu's traitor a chance to take advantage of machine, then we will be in big trouble."

Zhang Ping nodded, but he was not in a hurry to write a letter to Zhang Han immediately, but quickly opened Xiang Kang's letter to read the content. What made Zhang Ping sneer was that, in the letter, Xiang Kang repeatedly begged Zhang Ping not to rush to attack. He also proposed that he and Zhang Ping should agree on a time and place, and each would bring only a few guards to negotiate face-to-face.Then Zhang Ping didn't hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Order the whole army, speed up the advance, must arrive at Pengcheng before the second quarter of Shenshi, and buy time for us to set up camp."

According to Zhang Ping's request, the main force of the Qin army immediately accelerated its advance, and according to the order, arrived at the western suburbs of Pengcheng more than ten miles away before the second quarter of Shenshi, and camped in Gushui'an in the north. At the same time, Zhang Ping, who was still cautious, sent a large number of scouts Investigate the surrounding movement and prevent Xiang Kang from ambush outside Pengcheng.

In fact, what the Qin army scouts did was just a formality. Pengcheng is located on a plain, and there are no mountains and valleys around where ambushes can be buried. Only some forests are pitifully small.However, no one expected that during the routine work of the Qin Army scouts, there would be such an unexpected harvest—two knights from the north suddenly appeared in front of the Qin Army scouts, and the Qin Army scouts stepped forward to stop them. At that time, the two knights not only did not stop to accept the inspection, on the contrary, they galloped and rushed towards the ferry at the north gate of Pengcheng.

At this time, horses were precious, and the people who came on horseback were conspicuous. After seeing that they were fleeing directly to Pengcheng, the scouts of the Qin army immediately chased after them with all their strength. Unfortunately, those two men were very good at riding and had a lot of experience in escaping. Unexpectedly, he forcibly got rid of the pursuit of the Qin Army's scouts, and fled to the North Gate Ferry of Pengcheng, which is still under the control of the Young Marshal Army. .

Fortunately, the scouts of the Qin Army did not work hard in vain. The two knights slapped their horses and ran for their lives. They accidentally dropped their package on the road. The scouts of the Qin Army picked up the package and opened it. In addition to the things used, there was actually a letter written by Liu Ji, the leader of another anti-Qin Yi army, to Xiang Kang. The scouts of the Qin army immediately sent the letter back to the camp to ask Zhang Ping for credit as if they had found a treasure.

Let's take a look at the situation of the two messenger knights first, because they claimed to be ordered by Liu Laosan to deliver the letter to Xiang Kang. After crossing the river, they were of course sent to Xiang Kang very quickly.When Xiang Kang took a closer look at the person's appearance, he immediately recognized that one of the two messengers of Liu Laosan was Zhou Ke, a guest who had met him once in Liuxian County, and Xiang Kang didn't agree with him either. Hesitating, he asked Zhou Ke with a smile while hurrying to prepare wine and food, "Why did Mr. Zhou come? Did Mr. Pei ask you to come?"

"Reporting to the young commander, that's exactly the case." Zhou Ke replied truthfully, and then said: "Pei Gong also asked the villain to bring you a letter written by himself, but the villain was careless just now and accidentally dropped the letter on the road. , if there is no accident, that letter should have been picked up by the scouts of the Tyrant Qin army."

"Really? Does the content of the letter matter?" Xiang Kang asked.

"It's very important, it can be said to be very important." Zhou Ke showed a mysterious smile, and said with a smile: "But please rest assured, the young commander, that important letter was not written for you, but for Zhang Ping, the chief general of the Tyrant Qin army. of."

"What do you mean sir?" Xiang Kang was really confused this time.

"Forgive me, young marshal. I have to start from the beginning." Zhou Ke cleared his throat, and then said: "Our Pei Gong received the news that Zhang Han, the general of the tyrant Qin, sent his troops to kill Pengcheng. Although we immediately started preparing to go south to reinforce your army, Young Marshal, but we, Pei Gong, are very worried. We are worried that even if you block the partial division of the Tyrant Qin, the Young Marshal, you will not be able to stop the main force of the Tyrant Qin army. The main force of the Tyrant Qin army is active in Chen County. , has always been a huge threat to you and us, Young Commander, so we, Mr. Pei, thought hard, and took the liberty of arranging a plan for you, Young Commander, to blame Wei Jiu."

"To blame Wei Jiu?" Xiang Kang's eyes widened, and Zhou Zeng and Old Man Fan beside him were also dumbfounded.

"That's right, blaming Wei Jiu!" Zhou Ke nodded vigorously, and said, "Wei Jiu and Zhou Fu are inhumane, fighting against other anti-Qin rebels, and defending themselves when the main force of the tyrant Qin sent troops outside the pass. Zhang Chu, who had great kindness, was attacked by the Tyrant Qin army. He was extremely ruthless. Therefore, we, Pei Gong, deliberately wrote a letter, claiming that he had reconciled with Wei Guo, and was going to join forces with you, the young commander, to hold back the violent The Qin army created an opportunity for Wei Jiu to enter Guanzhong from the west. He also said that Wei Jiu is mobilizing troops in Weidi, and when the main force of the tyrant Qin advances westward to Pengcheng, he will immediately take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong and attack Xianyang!"

Satisfied with the content of Liu Laosan's letter, Zhou Ke said even more proudly: "Then Peigong sent the villain to go south slowly, and after hearing that the Baoqin army arrived in Pengcheng, they came quickly, and deliberately let the Baoqin scouts He bumped into him, pretended to be in a panic, and left his letter on purpose. Then as long as the scouts of the Qin Dynasty handed this letter to Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping would definitely tell Zhang Han the news, and Zhang Han would probably bring the main force Go north, go find trouble with Wei Jiu first, then you can calmly deal with the partial divisions of the Tyrant Qin army, young commander."

There was no sound in the lobby, Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng looked at each other, they couldn't even imagine that there was such a coincidence in this world, that the young general army was here to provoke Zhang Han's main force to go north to find Wei Jiu's trouble, so as to relieve the pressure on the self-army , Liu Laosan actually made such a move, and also directed Zhang Han's firepower to Wei Jiu.

In the end, it was the old man Fan who broke the calm, and asked Xiang Kang very strangely: "Young Commander Xiang, you and Liu Ji don't look alike at all, do you? Why are you two not only very similar in their ways of doing things, but also so similar?" Like brothers?"

Xiang Kang smiled, and then said from the bottom of his heart: "What Fan Gong said is very true. In this respect, I am indeed in the same line as Pei Gong."

…………

At the same time, Liu Laosan's autographed letter had also been sent to Zhang Ping, and it turned out that Wei Jiu and his Wei army were in bad luck. Before, Xiang Kang had people pretend to be Wei envoys to frame him. With Liu Laosan's shameless framing, of course Zhang Ping immediately hated Wei Jiu to the extreme!In addition to cursing, Zhang Ping didn't hesitate any more, immediately wrote the situation into a letter, sent a horse back to Chen County, and let his brother Zhang Han know Wei Jiu's dirty plan to attack Guanzhong!

All the cities along the way have been recaptured by the Qin army. The contact between Zhang Ping and Zhang Han is relatively easy. Zhang Ping's letter only took a little more than three days, and it was successfully sent back to Chen County from the front line of Pengcheng. The main force is in front of Zhang Han who is resting in Chen County.And after learning about these situations, Zhang Han was of course both shocked and angry, and subconsciously came up with the idea of ​​immediately dispatching troops to the north, giving priority to destroying Wei Jiu and Wei's army.

Of course, it is not so easy for Zhang Han to make up his mind. The partial division is already too far away from the main force.But it's okay for Xiang Kang and Liu Laosan, these two despicable villains. Ensuring that Guanzhong can no longer be threatened is Zhang Han's top priority right now. Considering that since the main force of the army has entered Pengcheng, if Wei Jiu really takes the opportunity to send troops For the sneak attack on Guanzhong, I definitely couldn't explain to Qin Ershi and Zhao Gao. If I was a little careless, I might lose my official position or even lose my head. Therefore, after repeated thinking and research, Zhang Han gradually preferred to send troops to Wei.

In the end, Zhang Han made up his mind because of two reasons. One was the information about the Young Marshal Army provided by Dang County. This made Xiang Kang very disappointed, but now it was a blessing in disguise. Through such an intelligence analysis, Zhang Han certainly felt that the Young Marshal was not difficult to deal with. Zhang Ping's partial division had every hope of directly killing Xiang Kang and taking down Pengcheng. Even if he was unable to attack for a long time, he would be absolutely sure to retreat completely, so he didn't need to worry too much about the situation of partial division.

The second is the urging from Xianyang. After Zhang Han sent troops outside the pass, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, who were anxious to put down the rebellion, sent people to force Zhang Han to put down the rebels outside the pass as soon as possible. Day can do it, and I will try my best to report the actual situation outside the pass to Xianyang. Please give Hu Hai and Zhao Gao more time.But under such circumstances, Zhang Han certainly cannot allow other anti-Qin rebels to pose a threat to Guanzhong—otherwise, how can Zhang Han explain to Hu Hai and Zhao Gao?

It was precisely because of these two objective reasons, after much deliberation, Zhang Han still made up his mind to deal with Wei Guo first, and then sent his troops north to trouble Wei Jiu and Zhou Fu. Send an envoy to contact Zhang Ping and tell Zhang Ping to be cautious in using his troops. If Pengcheng can be defeated, he can fight. Liang went straight to Pengcheng's Gushui waterway and headed eastward to seek revenge and settle accounts with Xiang Kang, a despicable villain with a vacillating head and a vacillating head.

At the end of the letter to Zhang Ping, Zhang Han did not forget to remind Zhang Ping that Zhang Ping should not place too much hope of defeating the enemy on Xiang Kang's voluntary surrender, and let Zhang Ping give priority to defeating the enemy in the battle that the young commander is not good at. Don't engage in risky battles, capsize the boat in the gutter, and take advantage of Xiang Kang's loopholes.
