Chapter 438 Jing Ke?hehe

This ability to assassinate the center is threatening, but it is not like a nuclear bomb. It cannot completely eliminate the empire's resistance. The result will inevitably be an alliance between enemy countries to fight against the Xinghan Alliance.

Liu Xinqi has never wanted to take this step.

Because if it reaches this point, the Xinghan Alliance will inevitably face a diplomatic situation that is besieged on all sides.

Putting it in another person's shoes, anyone who is the emperor of Southern Zhao will have trouble sleeping and eating when he thinks that the Xinghan Alliance in the north can send people directly to assassinate him, and he is completely unable to defend himself.

Jin Guo, Xixia, etc., the same reason.

The Xinghan Alliance will become a thorn in the side and flesh of all monarchs in the world, and they will not be happy until it is removed.

"It can be hidden for a while." Liu Xinqi comforted himself.

From the beginning of the "Slaying the Dragon" plan, it was carried out in secret, and the number of insiders was kept to a minimum.

However, the implementation of this plan requires the cooperation of too many people, including more than 600 soldiers from the special operations battalion, Di Ting, spies from the Military Intelligence Department located on the front line of Daming Mansion, and officers from the Logistics Department who provide logistical support.

There are many people here who have not received military commander cards and are ordinary people. It is impossible for them to strictly implement Liu Xinqi's orders and to keep their mouths shut.

There will always be someone who accidentally lets some information out.

What's more, when the soldiers of the Xinghan League carried out the plan, they didn't kill them all. The children, women, servants and female relatives of the officials were not killed. These are also insiders.

In the future, the information these people will know will be compiled together by interested parties.

"Hey! The thieves who attacked are all tall and powerful warriors." This sentence will definitely come to the mind of the insider.

And which force has so many powerful warriors?The answer is the only one, Xinghan League.

"Alliance!"

"Come in."

The visitor was Liu Xinbao. After opening the door and letting him in, Liu Xinqi put away his thoughts.

"Congratulations!" "Congratulations!"

"We feel much more relaxed now." Liu Xinbao found a chair and sat down. Seeing that there was still tea on the coffee table, he picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, not caring who drank it.

"Indeed, for the time being, we only need to guard against the Kingdom of Jin, and the Jin Army of the Kingdom of Jin in Yanjing has not made any movement as of yesterday." Liu Xinqi nodded.

"Then what's our next step? Continue westward?" Liu Xinbao asked.

He is the head of the Military Intelligence Department. After the strategic direction is determined, he needs to prepare intelligence first.

"Continue heading west." Liu Xinqi nodded.

"Then should we expand the target of the plan? The Puppet Qi is probably paralyzed now." Liu Xinbao asked.

"Not for the time being. Let's first absorb the sites on Jingdong East Road and West Road. After these two areas are stable and provide support, we can then move west or north." Liu Xin said.

"I understand." The two chatted about other things before Liu Xinbao went out to work.

Liu Xinqi did not convene other people to hold a celebration party, and planned to keep the success of the "Dragon Slaying" plan low-key.The reason is not to make this "assassination" operation special and worthy of pride.

The assassin Jing Ke in the Jing Ke Assassination of Qin incident, the first assassin in history, received mixed reviews from later generations.In the eyes of those who know how to assassinate, he is a "little loser".

Regardless of his other aspects, just look at what he really paid: Yan Taizi Dan thought he was a panacea, and he ate, drank, prostituted, and made offerings. It was not until Wang Jian destroyed Zhao that Prince Dan couldn't hold back and said: "Brother, I want to give up again." I have raised you for 500 years, but the problem is that the Qin army is almost at the edge of Yishui."

Jing Ke said, "I can go. Please help me get three things first."

The first is the head of Qin rebel general Fan Yuqi - worth thousands of gold and ten thousand households; the second is the dagger of Mrs. Xu of Zhao State - worth hundreds of gold; the third is the land of Yan State - the map of Dukang .Although these three things are expensive, they can all be measured in currency.

Behind these three things, there is a huge value that cannot be measured in monetary terms.

First, Prince Dan of Yan could not bear to kill Fan Yuqi, so Jing Ke went to persuade Fan Yuqi: "Your whole family has been killed by the King of Qin. Give me your head. When the time comes, I will hold his sleeve with my left hand and tear his chest with my right hand. The hatred of the general." I'll pay you back." Fan Yuqi believed Jing Ke's words.Fan Yuqi is the benchmark for surrendering to Yan, which is of great significance.

Secondly, Mrs. Xu's dagger, which is worth hundreds of gold, was tested on living people for its poisonous effect. After several deaths, the blood sealed their throats.The lives of ordinary people are like ants to Jing Ke.

Third, the consequence of the failed assassination was not the loss of Dukang, but the complete loss of the Yan Kingdom.

But, the most important thing!The costs of the above three things and the costs behind the three things were not paid by Jing Ke himself.From beginning to end, Jing Ke himself only paid his life.He ate, played, and had sex, but he was still unwilling to leave. In the end, he was forced to leave by Prince Yan Dan.

When Jing Ke left, he had a borrowed head, a bought dagger and a map he had cheated in his waist. Accompanied by the musician Gao Jianli, he generously sang: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever." return."

The other five assassins in "Historical Records - Biographies of Assassins" all paid a heavy price to achieve their achievements.The only reason why Jing Ke, a poor man, was able to enter the biographies and become the number one assassin in the rankings of later generations was simply because the target of his assassination was Qin Shi Huangdi.

But is the assassination of Qin really valuable in itself?Did Jing Ke really fulfill his responsibility?

the answer is negative.

From deceiving Yan State to failing to assassinate Qin, Jing Ke never felt that his miserable life was important.The so-called responsibility is just a cloud for people like Jing Ke.

Take a look at a record in the Historical Records: "Ke knew that things were not going to work out, so he leaned on a pillar and laughed. Ji Zhu scolded him and said: 'The reason why things are not going to happen is because he wants to live in disaster, and he must get a contract to repay the prince.'".It means "I can't kill you because I want to capture you alive and make a contract to never attack you."

At this time, this rogue must have forgotten his promise to Fan Yuqi: "You lend me your head, and I will help you get revenge."

Moreover, as an assassin, even his throwing skills are deceptive. He held a dagger that was bloody and sealed his throat, but he did not scratch the skin of the King of Qin. This shows how tired he is of his own skills. In Yan Guoguang, he just listened to songs, gambled and played with women. .

The essence of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin was to gamble with death, as long as he dared to cheat.After eating enough and cheating enough, you will end up with a dead life at most, no matter whose head or country you own.He deceived Fan Yuqi and Prince Yan from the beginning.

Liu Xinqi doesn't know how future generations will evaluate his assassination of the puppet Qi Central Committee. He doesn't publicize it now because he doesn't want his subordinates to think: "Since the assassination can be easily solved, why go to the battlefield and fight to the death?"

If a country regards assassination as the fastest, funniest, and most commonly used standard for solving problems, then this country is fundamentally ruined.

"I can't let you say I'm good, but I can make you not say I'm bad." If this kind of thinking permeates the entire management, what kind of deformed society will it be.

Yan Zidan is a standard example of how naive it is to entrust the fate of a country to an assassin.After choosing such a doomed ghost, he no longer observes the details of his actions. It can be said to be trusting or arrogant, so Prince Dan of Yan deserves the result of the destruction of his country.

The choice to assassinate the puppet Qi center this time was a last resort, otherwise the Xinghan League would face more than 40 troops, which the Xinghan League could not bear at present.
