Fu Qin starts with a plan

Nanyue County City.

Donghuang Taiyi stood at the top of the city, looked at the Qin army in the distance, and remained silent.

At this moment, Wang Wan came over and said quietly: "It seems that it is still a bit close, Zhao Tuo failed after all."

"Who said it failed, isn't there still tens of thousands of people out there?" Dong Huangtai said without looking back.

"Do you have a way to deal with these people?"

"The background of the Yin Yang Palace over the years is not the kind of ordinary soldiers!"

"Oh?" Wang Wan raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "You want to use Gu soldiers?"

"It's not that I want to use it, but God wants to use it!"

Donghuang Taiyi said, turned to look at Wang Wan, and continued: "Aren't you the messenger of God?"

"I am the messenger of God, but I am only responsible for awakening God. As for what you want to do, that is your business, don't get involved with God!"

Wang Wan said with a blank face: "Also, the blood moon day will be two days away, you'd better seize the opportunity, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You just need to do your thing well, and leave mine alone!"

Dong Huangtai said, "Anyway, gods can't be resurrected, and you can't save me either."

"Although I can't save you, I can relieve your pain. If you don't want to relieve it, then just pretend I didn't say it."

"Don't threaten me with this matter, if I fail again this time, I don't plan to live anymore."

"Some things may not be up to you!" Wang Wan smiled coldly, then turned and left the city.

Donghuangtai watched him leave as soon as he left, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Mo Hu hurried up to the top of the city with two guards, came to Donghuang Taiyi, cupped his hands and said: "Palace Master, our people got the news that Zhao Kun's people might have gone to Tengchong! "

"Tengchong?"

Under Donghuang Taiyi's mask, a suspicious look flashed across his eyes, and he said, "How did your people get the news?"

"Although the people from Xiangjun Daying surrendered to Zhao Kun, there are still people from us inside. He entrusted people from the Mushen tribe to deliver a message for us, but the people from the Mushen tribe were killed!"

Mo Hu said: "When our people found the Mushen Tribe, the messenger of the Mushen Tribe who was killed miraculously survived. He told us that Zhao Kun and others might have gone to Tengchong!"

"What's there at Fujichaki?"

"I checked the files in the city of Nanyue County, and they said that it was the place where the remnants of the merchants migrated!"

"The remnants of the merchant?" Donghuang Taiyi frowned and said, "Could it be related to the Jiang family?"

"It's not clear yet, did you send someone there?" Mo Hu asked rhetorically.

"You stay here, cooperate with Gu Xie and the others to guard the county, and just leave the matter of Teng Chong to me." Donghuang Taiyi ordered.

"I obey." Mo Hu respectfully responded, then looked outside the city, and muttered: "Is there really such a ritual as blood sacrifice?"

"Ok?"

Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes: "Some things, it's better not to know than to know, just do what you should do."

"Yes!"

When Mo Hu heard Donghuang Taiyi's words, his heart turned cold, and he immediately left the city.

Soon, the army outside the city began to gather, and the army inside the city also flocked towards the city gate.

"Look, who is that!?"

The people in the city couldn't help being surprised when they saw a group of strange soldiers wearing taupe cloaks and holding dark green scimitars suddenly appearing on the street.

The sharp-eyed ones noticed the green light emerging from under the cloaks of those strange soldiers, and immediately backed away in fright, screaming: "Go! They are Gu people!"

"Gu people?"

In the land of Baiyue, various tribes are scattered in the jungle like stars.

These tribes all have their own characteristics, some are accompanied by poisonous insects, snakes and ants all year round, some are good at various hunting methods, and some advocate ancient witchcraft and study poisonous poisons.

Therefore, the people in Nanyue County City more or less understand the characteristics of each tribe.

The existence of 'Gu people' is a kind of taboo no matter in ancient times or today.

Because of its cruel cultivation method, it is a bit inhumane.

just
What the people in Nanyue County did not expect was that there were 'Gu soldiers' in the county town, and these 'Gu soldiers' were obviously more terrifying than they imagined.

"Where did they come from? Why didn't they find it before?"

"That's right! I haven't heard that there are Gu soldiers coming from the county. Could it be that they came in from a secret passage?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, are you dying? This is not the past!"

While the common people were discussing, the members of the net hiding in the crowd looked at each other, and then slowly withdrew from the crowd.

They must spread the news, otherwise Han Xin and the others may suffer heavy losses if they don't understand the situation of the Gu soldiers.

But when these snare members withdrew from the crowd, a group of white faces standing in the dark on the roof also saw them.

Seeing these white faces reveal their weapons in an instant, they jumped forward and chased them out.

At the same time, the Qin army camp outside the city.

The new Qin army and the Xiangjun garrison have surrounded Nanyue County in groups according to Han Xin's deployment.

Even the secret passage ten miles away, which may be the county town leading to the outside of the city, was surrounded by Wang Yan and others.

"Old Zhang, how is the situation in the city?" Han Xin sat on the commander's seat and looked up at Zhang Han on the right.

Zhang Han immediately cupped his hands and said: "General Qi, according to the news from the spies in the city, Mo Hu led some of the remnants of the Zhao army back to the county, and there are [-] to [-] elite Zhao troops hidden in the county!"

"Oh?" Han Xin raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "This Zhao Tuo really has a backhand!"

"If what you said is true, Zhao Tuo and Yinyang Palace should want to take advantage of the ease of defense and difficulty of attacking the county city, consume our army and horses, and achieve the purpose of blood sacrifice!"

"I have also heard about this Yin-Yang Palace. It is said that it has appeared in the pre-Qin period, but how can a mere family compete with the imperial army!"

"Zhao Tuo's fraudulent death before was also related to the Yin-Yang Palace. This Yin-Yang Palace has always been mysterious. If there is any unknown plan, we have to guard against it!" He Cong said solemnly.

"General He means that the blood sacrifice is a cover, and they have other purposes?" Han Xin narrowed his eyes.

He Cong pondered and said: "Before joining the army, a certain family was also a branch of a family. Every family has its own secrets, especially the thousand-year-old family like Yinyang Palace, which appeared as early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but it was not called Yinyang at that time. That's all."

"I would like to say a few words about this."

As soon as He Cong's voice fell, Sun Tong suddenly handed over to Han Xin.

Han Xin nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal Sun Tong to continue.

Sun Tong thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "Twenty years ago, we were ordered by Your Majesty to attack Baiyue. At that time, there were many ethnic groups in Baiyue, which caused great resistance to us, and the most resistant one belonged to one clan. A tribe of great strength and swift action!"

"In that tribe, the oldest is only 20 years old, and the youngest is only nine years old, but all of them are brave and good at fighting, and they are very difficult to deal with!"

"At that time, the front line was tense and there were repeated defeats. General Ren Xiao took over the position of General Tu Sui and presided over the attack on Baiyue. When he learned about this tribe, he ordered people to capture the tribe's people alive!"

"As a result, more than a dozen lives were lost, and only one person was caught."

"But that person didn't understand our language and couldn't communicate with us. General Ren Xiao tried his best and finally invited a local old witch doctor. The old witch doctor said that they were ancient merchants, not people from various ethnic groups in Baiyue!"

"An ancient merchant?"

Hearing this, Han Xin and the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

Sun Tong nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, they are ancient merchants, and they were nobles who fled here when the Shang Dynasty was about to perish!"

"How could nobles be reduced to members of barbaric tribes?" He Cong asked a little puzzled.

In his impression, the nobles are all aloof, even if they are down and out, they cannot be reduced to savages.

But when Zhang Han heard his words, he shook his head and smiled: "Old He, how long has it been since the Shang Dynasty?"

"This" He Cong hesitated for a moment, and said: "It must be thousands of years!"

"That's right, it's been thousands of years, how can there be any nobles!"

"Uh, that's what the general said, it's because the subordinate is being abrupt."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the main point!" Han Xin waved his hand and motioned to Sun Tong again.

Sun Tong continued: "These ancient merchants speak the ancient Shang language, so we naturally cannot communicate with them, but General Ren Xiao knows that the old general Wang Jian once attacked the Six Kingdoms, he is familiar with the events of the Six Kingdoms, and the events that brought down the Shang Dynasty. Regarding the matter of the Western Zhou Dynasty, I informed Old General Wang of the situation of the ancient merchants!"

"After General Wang learned about the situation, he asked General Ren Xiao to send people to Pinyang for his research. In order to give General Wang more references, General Ren Xiao also sent a large army to attack a small town of the ancient merchant. Horde, captured most of that little tribe!"

"Later, about half a month later, Old General Wang sent someone to send a bamboo slip and told General Ren Xiao that if you hand the bamboo slip to the ancient merchant's patriarch, he will not oppose our army!"

"Sure enough, when the bamboo slips were handed over to the patriarch, the next day, all the ancient merchant tribes disappeared collectively!"

"This"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Sun Tong in disbelief.

Sun Tong continued: "At first, I thought they disappeared by themselves, but then I overheard General Ren Xiao saying that they were exterminated by the Yin Yang Palace!"

"Why did Yinyang Palace want to exterminate those ancient merchants?" Zhang Han asked in surprise, "Also, what's in the bamboo slips?"

"I don't know about this either. At that time, I was just a soldier under General Ren Xiao's command!" Sun Tong shook his head.

"So, people from the Wang family should know about this?"

He Cong frowned and said, "But Wang Li went to America with King Qin, and Tong Wuhou is not something I can summon!"

"I think, we don't need to ask Marquis Tong Wu, just tell the young master about it!"

Han Xin suddenly said: "Young Master's investigation should be related to Commander Jiang. If I'm not mistaken, those ancient merchants should be from the Jiang tribe!"

"what!?"

The generals were slightly surprised.

Zhang Han hurriedly asked: "Why does the general make such a judgment? Could there be something else hidden in it?"

"Whether there are other secrets, I don't know for the time being, but Jiang Chao comes from the Wang family, and Jiang Chao's combat power is equally astonishing!"

"Do you know how old Jiang Chao is, less than 20 years old!"

"There are people with such talent in the world, and I only know Xiang Yu!"

Having said that, Han Xin stared straight at Sun Tong, and asked again: "Is there any contact between Ren Xiao and the people from Yin Yang Palace?"

"This"

Sun Tong's pupils shrank from being stared at by Han Xin, he hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "Not only General Ren Xiao, General Zhao Tuo, but even some ministers in the central court have contact with Yinyang Palace!"

"Minister of the court?"

Han Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked around at the generals, and said solemnly, "Who are there?"

"The original prime minister Wang Wan, Li Si, Feng Quji and others."

"It turned out to be them!"

Zhang Han was stunned and said, "Why do they come into contact with people from Yinyang Palace? Don't they know the ambition of Yinyang Palace?"

"In the beginning, it wasn't that they wanted to get in touch with the people from the Yin Yang Palace, but His Majesty let them get in touch."

"Your Majesty let them contact?"

"Yes!" Sun Tong nodded and said, "Your Majesty needs strange people as staff to build the imperial mausoleum, so he sent people to look for the person from Yin Yang Palace!"

"And how did you find out?"

Han Xin said suspiciously: "At that time, you were just a pawn!"

"I only learned about these things after I took over the garrison of Xiang County. At that time, Zhao Tuo faked his death, Mo Hu served as the interim commander, and I waited for the opportunity to take over!"

Sun Tong explained: "During a renovation of the barracks, when my people accidentally carried General Ren Xiao's belongings, they found a secret box, which contained private letters between General Ren Xiao and the ministers of the court!"

"Are those private messages still there?" Zhang Han asked.

Sun Tong replied: "It's still there, I've been keeping it very well, and I won't let anyone know."

Hearing this, all the generals looked at each other, they knew without thinking that those who found General Ren Xiao's relics would probably have gone to hell long ago.

However, they did not dislike Sun Tong's approach.

After all, only the dead can keep secrets.

What's more, Mo Hu was in charge of the army at that time, if Mo Hu learned about this and reported him to Zhao Tuo, he would die.

After being silent for a while, Han Xin said again: "Zhao Tuo is dead, and the Yin Yang Palace is my Great Qin's worry, so I have to get rid of it. You hand over the secret letter to me, and I will take the important content from my house and report it to your son!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Sun Tong cupped his hands and saluted, and heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

He had been guarding this secret for a long time, and finally he could tell it.

"General, if the Yin Yang Palace really has other purposes, how should we deal with it?" Zhang Han looked at Sun Tong, then at the generals, and asked with a frown.

Han Xin put his hands on his forehead and pondered carefully. After a while, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Han, "Do you have any hot air balloons in your camp?"

"Hot air balloon?" Zhang Han was taken aback: "The general wants to attack the county by air?"

"The recent weather in South Vietnam is not suitable for flying. I just want to investigate the situation in the city!"

"Even for investigation, you have to fly into the sky, how to control the direction?"

"You don't need to control the direction, just look down from the heights and observe with a telescope!" Han Xin explained: "If you are worried about the change of the wind direction, you can also tie a rope under the gondola to fix the hot air balloon!"

"What about the siege?"

"First pull all the artillery to the front, concentrate the city gates, knock down the towers, and deter them!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "In this way, we can avoid too many casualties!"

Han Dao said: "This is just a matter of benefit. The key point is to find a secret passage from the inside of the city to the outside of the city. Otherwise, all arrangements will come to naught."

"Then I'll arrange people immediately and intensify the search!"

"Go!"
