Chapter 50 Fishing in Muddy Water 4

Li Weixing, who was on the rise of killing, hurried to Zhao Xin, stretched out a touch of blood on his face, and said loudly, "Captain, it has been cleaned up, and no one has escaped."

Li Wei, who was still full of confidence in Zhao, admired him at this time, and there was no trace of complaint in his heart. This is the straightforwardness of soldiers. They are always convinced by people who are more capable than them, but all the famous generals who can be supported by the soldiers rely on their own real materials to convince their subordinates.

Before Zhao Xin replied, Zhang Xin carefully groped for a while on the drum that had been dead for a long time, took out a piece of cloth and said loudly, "Captain, I found a letter here."

Zhao Xin hurried over and reached for the yellow cloth. He touched the silky hand. At that time, it was a precious silk. Zhao's confidence was suddenly awe-inspiring, knowing that it was likely to be a very high-level letter. After reading it carefully, his face changed again.

"What does it say?" Seeing that Zhao Xin's face was a little wrong, Li Wei poked his head curiously and asked.

Zhao Xin did not say anything, but handed the cloth to the two and motioned them to have a look.

I saw several rows of small regular characters of the State of Zhao written on it as thin as mosquitoes and flies. The book said: Order the deputy general Nie Gai, and General Ji Xin colluded with the Zhao people to plot a rebellion. Today, the people sent Guji to lead the imperial guard to kill the traitors. You should send the army to cooperate. At the end of the letter, it was stamped with a bright red seal of the king of Zhongshan.

Li Wei looked at the confusion, put down the letter and looked at Zhao Xin blankly. He didn't know what he meant. Zhang Xin's face showed joy and said happily, "Captain, this Ji Xin is the guard general of Shiyi. Listening to the letter, there is an internal fight in Zhongshan, and Zhongshan Xiaowang wants to send someone to kill him to seize power."

Zhao Xin nodded, thought for a moment, and then ordered in a low voice: "Go and bring a prisoner, as high as possible."

"Yes."

The prisoner was soon brought up. He was a young man with beautiful eyebrows. He was covered with thin skin and tender flesh. Seeing the fierce Li Wei beside him, his legs couldn't help trembling.

"What's your name?" Zhao Xin asked.

The teenager looked a little hesitant and said hesitantly, "My name is..."

Zhao Xin turned his eyes over, and Li Wei, who was beside him, decisively pulled out the dagger and inserted it fiercely on the teenager's leg. The blood soared out in an instant, and the teenager suddenly screamed.

Li Wei brightened his snow-white teeth and said with a grim smile on his face, "If you hesitate again, I will fill your body with a hundred holes and let the blood in your body flow slowly little by little."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." The Zhongshan teenager quickly covered his wound and knelt down and begged for mercy, with a panic on his face.

"What's your name and who is it?"

The teenager dared to hesitate and said quickly, "My name is Yi Qian. I'm the general of Zhongshan's imperial guard barracks and the son of Dr. Zuo Yiyi."

Zhao Xin and Zhang Xin looked at each other and smiled. They both listened attentively to Li Wei's quick pressure to ask questions one by one. They didn't give Yi Qian time to think at all. If it was a moment late, they would waved a dagger and prick it directly.

I have to say that Zhang Xin's vision is indeed unique. The prisoner he picked became a guard officer at a young age, and he was not like a man who has been in the battlefield. There must be no doubt that he is a high-ranking official. Most of the people who rely on the top are greedy and afraid of death. If they are a little coercion and lure, they will spit out all the matter. They are Zhang Xi and other veteran leaders's favorite objects of torture.

After listening to the words called Yi Qian, the three finally figured out what was said in the letter.

It turned out that a big event happened in the life of Turin in Zhongshan. The beloved general of the king of Zhongshan was suddenly stabbed and killed in the house. The angry king of the mountain, Yi Shang, ordered Xiangbang Sima Xi to investigate the matter thoroughly. After a thorough investigation by Sima Xi, he pointed all the suspicions at Ji Xin, the guard of Shiyi City, who had been evil with Yan Qian, and found a letter from Lingshou Ji Xin's home.

In anger, the king of Zhongshan immediately sent his cronies Gu Ji, so that he took the guard to Shiyi with Wang Zhao to kill Ji Xin, and Gu Ji continued to lead the Shiyi army to resist the Zhao army.

It's a pity that this drumgi who hurried to the post was really not very lucky. Halfway through the road, he was intercepted by the sudden Zhao army led by Zhao Xin. He not only lost Wang Zhao, but also lost his life in the wilderness.

After listening to these words, Zhang Xin's eyes showed excitement and said happily, "Captain, this is important information. Zhongshan Junchen is centrifuged. If I, Zhao, make good use of it, it will be of great benefit to me. We should quickly return to the master and let him decide.

Li Wei couldn't help interrupting, "I haven't forgotten the internal fight when I've arrived in this field. There is no reason for Zhongshan. It seems that they won't know what unity is until the country dies."

Zhao Xin didn't say a word, just bowed his head and thought, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he looked up and down at Yi Qian, and his eyes were a little strange. After a long time, he asked, "How is your grain and fodder in Zhongshan now?"

The easy-to-moving stammer said; "back... Reply to the general, I'm just a small battalion officer, and I don't know much about this. However, our military grain supply is getting less and less day by day. The last time I went to get grain, I heard the grain officials complain that the food and fodder consumption was too much, and I'm afraid it won't last long...

Zhao medited for a moment in his confidence, and suddenly asked again, "Do you have anyone you know well in Shiyi?" Can Ji Xin recognize you?"

Yi Qian quickly shook his head and said nervously, "I've been in Lingshou, and I don't know anyone in Shiyi. Ji Xin and my father know each other. He has added me several times before, but it was a few years ago. At that time, I was still young."

Zhao Xin nodded, but stopped asking questions. He just lowered his head and thought about it.

The face of Yi Qian saw Zhao Xin has been calm, and his heart became more and more. In the end, he cried and begged, "General, don't kill me. I've already said everything I know. You can't kill me."

Li Wei beside him was already impatient and made two Zhao Jun fight Yi Qian, who was still crying.

Looking at Zhao Xin, Li Wei said in a low voice, "Captain, you are the boss. What do you think we should do now?"

Zhao Xin did not speak immediately, but looked at Zhang Xin and said, "Tay what you think."

Zhang Xin has been in the army for many years and has much more experience than the two, so Zhao Xin came to ask for his opinion first.

Zhang Xin thought for a little and said with emotion, "Our established purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, and it is confirmed that Zhongshan's military food and fodder are tight. And by the way, it also obtained an extremely important information, which is extremely beneficial to our Zhao State's policy adjustment to Zhongshan. The Lord's father, Sheng Ming, will definitely reward us a lot, so I personally think we should make a decision and go back to the camp quickly to avoid getting out of time.

Zhao Xin's face showed a trace of light after hearing it, and suddenly said, "I think our gain is far from enough, and it has helped Zhongshan invisibly."

Zhang Xin was stunned and said in surprise, "What does this mean?"

"You see, this drum taboo was originally to kill Ji Xin, and the change of generals before the battle was originally a big taboo in the army. If the drums win, Shiyi will be in chaos, and our Zhao army will have a chance to take advantage of it. If the drums fail, it will be better. In this way, Shiyi and Lingshou will have different intentions. I'm afraid they will surrender to us obediently without our attack.

Li Wei said with an ugly face, "So we won a big battle, but we still made a mistake?"

Zhao Xin didn't say anything, didn't nod or shake his head. He just focused on his thoughts and suddenly looked up and asked them, "Do you think I'm a little similar to that Yi Qianchang?"

Zhang Xin thought for a moment and nodded, "It seems to be a little similar. I didn't pay attention to it just now. Now when I take a closer look, it seems to be a little similar."

Li Wei said disapprovingly, "When is it? You still have the heart to discuss this issue. What can you do with your appearance? Is it possible that you still plan to pretend to be him..."

He didn't finish his words, but he saw that Zhao Xin nodded seriously. Li Wei suddenly said in horrified, "What are you doing pretending to be him? You don't want to take this edict to Shiyi to continue the order, do you?"

Zhao Xin laughed and nodded carelessly, "I'm sorry, I mean it."

Zhang Xin and Li Wei looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Zhang Xin said in a hurry, "Captain, this must be done. It's too risky. If you are not careful, all our brothers will throw their lives here.

Zhao Xin shook his head carelessly. Don't worry, I'm not taking my brothers this time. I just want to try my luck alone. If you win, it's naturally a good thing, but if you miss it, you can escape with my skills.

Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say, Zhao Xin directly bluffed his face and ordered in a low voice, "I have decided on this matter. You don't need to say much, just cooperate."

"Yes." The two had no choice but to bow their heads and lead their lives.

Now that the matter has been finalized, the three discussed the details. Li Wei suddenly remembered something and said, "What should I do with such a prisoner?"

Zhao Xin's eyelids jumped and suddenly became silent, but he didn't say anything. Zhang Xin also thought about it and looked away.

Only then did Li Wei realize that he asked more than one question. They only had more than a hundred horses and sneaked into the hinterland of Zhongshan. It was impossible to escort more than 60 prisoners on the road. Not to mention that the speed has been greatly reduced, in case someone takes the opportunity to escape the news, the fate of Zhao Xin's team can be imagined. Not to mention cheating into Shiyi, I'm afraid it is even difficult to save his life.

This is war. Whether you want it or not, whether you want it or not, at the beginning of the war, everyone's life no longer belongs to you.

So the fate of those prisoners has long been doomed. When they drop their weapons and beg for mercy, they should know that they can't escape. However, people are such strange animals. Anyone who has a glimmer of life, even a illusory glimmer of hope, will fight desperately to seize this only life-saving straw.

So they did not choose to die on the battlefield, but shamefully laid down their weapons.

All three of them looked away, but no one was willing to open this mouth. Although they are brave and belligerent, they are also at ease when they cut off the enemy's head. But that's just for the enemy, not these prisoners who put down their weapons and beg for surrender. The slaughter of prisoners will shame the honor of any upright soldier.

In the final analysis, they are still too young to be cruel.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and finally Zhang Xin slowly said, "I'll see if I can pry something useful out of their mouths."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving two people in the room.

After a while, there were bursts of screams outside the house, with loud curses and pleadings, but finally calmed down.

After packing up in a hurry, Zhao Jun continued to move forward according to the plan. Zhao Xin drove his horse and walked silently in front of Zhang Xin. Suddenly, he slowed down and was on par with him. After silence, he said, "Thank you."

"There's nothing to thank." Zhang Xin didn't look back, but said lightly with a side face: "Someone has to do it. In the final analysis, I'm doing it for myself."

"Captain, I'd like to say a few words to you. Zhang Xin, I don't have any other skills, but I know myself. I'm a few years older than you, but I'm not outstanding in your qualifications. I just relied on my father to take today's seat. In the future, if I am lucky enough to be released to be a lieutenant or something, maybe I can still be a captain. This is the limit of my ability.

"And you are different. Your qualifications are so high and you are deeply valued by the Lord and Father. Your achievements in the future are bound to be far above me. In this case, I'll do this kind of dirty thing, so that you won't be criticized by others in the future.

Zhao Xin took a deep look at the "old" Yulin officer who was already 20 years old. He was a little moved and said in a low voice for a long time, "Remember, I, Zhao Xin, owe you a favor today."
