The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 593 Military Remonstration [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Zhao Cong wants to kill Yan Ju?"

At the Qin army's central headquarters, Ying Zheng and Yan Yan were a little surprised when they heard Hei Bai Xuan Jian's report.

As for why Hei Bai Xuan Jian reported to them, it was not surprising.

After all, the goal is to kill a deputy general of the army.

That would require mobilizing the top-notch assassins to take action, and such a big shot must be reported to Ying Zheng to avoid affecting the overall situation.

It is not surprising why Luo Wang knew that it was Zhao Cong who wanted to kill Yan Ju.

Kill the evil spirits and monsters in the sky and on the earth.

Luowang not only has killers, but also intelligence personnel.

As a mature killer organization, they are naturally worried that someone will set them up, so they will secretly check the identity of their employer.

"Do you want to kill him?" Hei Bai Xuan Jian asked.

He knew that the king and Bing Jun were planning to attack Handan, and he was afraid that if he killed Yan Jue, it would ruin the overall situation.

Ying Zheng and Yan Yan looked at each other. They were really confused.

I have no idea why Zhao Cong wanted to kill Yan Ju.

Yan Ju is Zhao Wangqian's man, and Zhao Cong is also a member of the royal family.

The two of them are a natural alliance.

As for Zhao Cong's desire to establish himself as king, that would depend on the circumstances.

The current situation is not enough to support Zhao Cong to declare himself king.

I'm afraid that before he could even raise the flag, Wang Jian would have captured them all.

"Let's take a look at the situation first!" Yan Yan hesitated.

They now have no idea what has happened to the Zhao army, and acting rashly does not seem to be a good idea.

Ying Zheng also nodded slightly to show his approval.

I have the advantage now, so there is no need to mess around with other micro-managements.

Wang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that the king would end up in a bad situation.

Fortunately, their king is not the kind of person who likes to give blind orders.

As for what happened in the Zhao army, it wasn't a bad thing for them anyway, right?
In Liaoyang camp, Zhao Cong and Yan Ju inevitably met.

After all, they are the commander and deputy commander of the army, it is impossible for them not to meet.

Watching Yan Ju walk into the central military tent, Zhao Cong raised his head slightly, then pretended not to see it, but his eyes were filled with a hint of pain, guilt, apology and determination.

Yan Ju happened to look up at Zhao Cong, but unfortunately Zhao Cong had already lowered his head.

Yan Ju opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ended up doing nothing. He sat in his seat, absent-mindedly handling official business.

Suddenly, Zhao Cong stood up as if for something and walked out of the central military tent. Yan Ju raised his head and opened his mouth, but in the end he did not call Zhao Cong.

The shogunate's lieutenants all felt that something was not right in the atmosphere in the general's tent today, but since the two superiors did not say anything, they did not dare to say much and each did their own thing.

After leaving the general's tent, Zhao Cong secretly summoned all his trusted generals.

"Everyone here is trustworthy!" Zhao Cong said dully.

All the generals knew that something big was going to happen, otherwise they would not be the only ones coming.

"You all saw the battle yesterday, right?" Zhao Cong asked.

The generals were silent. They had certainly seen it, and Zhao Cong later asked them to privately check the baggage and equipment of their respective armies.

It was found that the equipment in each battalion was of inferior quality and only about half of it was usable.

They reported it, but it was suppressed. They had a lot of questions in their minds and wanted to ask Zhao Cong.

But now Zhao Cong obviously wanted to explain, so no one asked, waiting for Zhao Cong's answer. "I don't know where these baggage and equipment came from, and who was involved!" Zhao Cong spoke slowly, even though he was a general, he couldn't stop him.

"Handan...don't let us withdraw our troops!" Zhao Cong continued.

"what!"

Hearing what Zhao Cong said, everyone was stunned.

This is going to kill them.

Using these defective products to fight against the Qin army, which is better equipped than them?
"Therefore, this general intends to use military force to remonstrate!" Zhao Cong spoke in a deep voice, emphasizing the word "military force to remonstrate".

All the generals looked at Zhao Cong in shock. The word "military remonstration" was no joke. If not handled properly, the entire nine clans would be destroyed.

If it succeeds, it is called military remonstration; if it fails, it is called treason!
"I have asked the Qin State's Luowang to assassinate Yan Ju!" Zhao Cong continued.

"This..." The generals hesitated.

Letting Luowang take action would be equivalent to handing the handle to Handan.

If they fail, they will be charged with treason, and traitors will be punished along with their entire clan.

"I have no other options. I can't think of any other options. I have 100,000 troops under my command, but Handan won't allow us to withdraw. In order to conceal the weapons issue, Handan has prohibited us from withdrawing back to Handan!"

"To put it another way, Handan wants us to die in Liaoyang, and not a single piece of news is allowed to be transmitted back to Handan!"

Zhao Cong said painfully.

He was not as good as Bing Jun or Wang Jian, who were famous teachers and generals, but he was the commander of the army after all.

He couldn't lead his soldiers to die.

If he had known earlier that there was a problem with the weapons, he would not have allowed the soldiers to use these equipment on the battlefield, and no one would have discovered that there was a problem with the weapons.

That way there's room for everything to ease up.

But Handan concealed it too well.

All those involved in the Liaoyang theft case died inexplicably in various accidents, and those who knew about the case were transferred away from Liaoyang.

Sima Shang was also transferred back to Handan.

So, no one in the entire army knew that there was a problem with the equipment.

By the time it was discovered, it had already spread.

However, when Zhao Cong was about to lead his troops to retreat, he was rejected by Yan Ju, who told him clearly that Handan was going to abandon their 100,000 soldiers!
Zhao Cong knew that as long as he cooperated, he would still be the general of Zhao State and could still return to Handan and live a good life.

But he is the commander of the army after all, and he is responsible for these 100,000 lives.

Therefore, he finally chose to hire an assassin to get rid of Yan Ju, to resist the enemy, and to lead these 100,000 people back home!

As for what to do after returning to Handan, he didn't know.

He only knew that as long as they returned to Handan, these 100,000 people would survive, but he would definitely not.

All the generals also understood Zhao Cong's determination.

This is exchanging the lives of one's own people for the lives of these one hundred thousand people.

"We are willing to die with you!" All the close confidants saluted with swords in their hands.

With such a general, what else could one ask for?

Zhao Cong may not be a great military strategist, and he does not have much military talent, and he cannot compare with veteran generals such as Bing Jun, Li Mu, and Wang Jian, but at this moment, he is a chief general worthy of their support with their lives!

"Don't get involved in this matter. When I return to Handan, I will admit that I threatened you with your family. I will bear all the blame!"

Zhao Cong looked at the officers and soldiers he had trained. He wanted to leave descendants and seeds for the State of Zhao!
"Don't say anything, just listen. You are the last hope of Zhao. Zhao can do without me, Zhao Cong, but it cannot do without you and these 100,000 troops!"

Zhao Cong stopped his trusted followers from speaking.
