Chapter 54 Fishing in Muddy Water 8

Zhao Jianxin asked you well, and he also understood why Sima Xi worked hard to dig his own grave. It seems that he can only be explained by the low IQ of this guy.

Although I think so in my heart, I have to make Nie Gai believe it.

So he took a step forward, and his eyes soared. He said in a low voice: "What you mean is that although Wang Shang doesn't like Ji Xin, he valuishes him very much. Usually, no matter how Jun Shang persuades him, he refuses to do it. Now that the army of the State of Zhao is approaching, Wang Shang is panicked in the palace every day, and he is extremely nervous when there is a little wind blowing. At this time, it happens that Lang Zhong Ling Yanqian was killed at home. Wang Shang thundered and took the opportunity to play. Don't miss this opportunity, and it won't happen again.

"As for the safety of Zhongshan, the general can rest assured that the king has made it clear that the king of Qi has promised that if the Zhao army attacked, the army of the state of Qi will definitely launch an offensive from Henan and unite with Wei Chu to make a strong mediation. At that time, we will give up the land and city at most in Zhongshan, but we can get rid of the big troubles of your confidants, which is also a cost-effective deal.

Nie Gai was happy when he heard the words and said, "Is this true? Did Qi really agree to intervene in the mediation?

"It's true."

"This is what you specifically asked me to mention to the general. You know that the general has a lot of worries, and I'm afraid he can't do it, so let me tell the general these to avoid worries."

Nie Gai nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, that's good. I'm also worried that you will ignore any cost in order to get rid of Ji Xin."

Suddenly, something came to my mind and looked at Zhao Xin with some suspicion in his eyes; "Are you really the only one who survived the destruction of Zhao Jun's army halfway, as you said to Ji Xin?"

Zhao Xin's eyes showed sadness, and his voice choked and said, "It's true, but we didn't go to Danqiu Pass to transport grain and fodder, but came to Shiyi to help you take down Ji Xin. After all, we are the imperial guard, and it's just right to take Wang Zhao. But I didn't expect to meet Zhao Guo's patrol horse halfway. General Drum knew that I was better at equestrian, so he asked me to go first with an imperial edict. He took his brothers to stay and delay Zhao's army, and finally all of them died in the battle.

Nie Gai just asked casually, and he didn't have much doubt in his heart. After all, Zhao Xin held the true Wang Zhao in his hand, and Ji Xin confirmed that he was Yi Yi's son Yi Shang. What else would be the problem?

Zhao Xin, who was still "sad", comforted a few words and said, "It's just that your praetorian guards are gone now. Although I have a lot of followers in the city, it is not enough to shake Ji Xin's power. What should I do?"

Zhao Xin looked at the edict in his hand and said in disbelief, "Can't there be a king's edict?"

"It's not enough." Nie Gai sighed,

"After all, you have been in Lingshou for a long time, and you don't know much about the situation of Shiyi. To say a word to kill the heart, this Shiyi Jixin's sentence is definitely much more useful than a light edict from the king. Unless Ji Xin has a reason to die, it is difficult for me to say that I will obey my orders.

A smile flashed in Zhao Xin's eyes, and then he regained his usual look and said in a low voice, "Then how about we find a reason to die for him?"

"What's the reason?" Nie Gai looked at Zhao Xin strangely and asked.

"Didn't Wang Shang write on the imperial edict that he colluded with Zhao people and plotted against him."

Nie Gai thought that Zhao Xin could have any clever ideas, but he didn't expect that he would repeat the old tune and said, "I'm afraid the virtuous nephew is too simple. It's just a matter of words, and there is no real evidence."

After a pause, he looked at Zhao Xin with a smile and said, "According to what I know about you, I'm afraid even Qian Qian's death was what he expected, otherwise how could Qian Qian die so coincidentally and in such a timely manner."

Zhao Xin smiled, but did not explain, and then said, "General, I'm afraid you don't understand what I mean. It must be difficult to convince the officials in the city of Ji Xin's rebellion. But if the stupid people in the city believe it, it is easy to do it. Just send some people who are good at long tongues to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Ji Xin is going to surrender Zhao in the city, and he has already negotiated with Zhao's father somewhere at some point one day. Say it with a nose and eyes, which is easier for the people to believe.

Nie Gai showed suspicion and said hesitantly, "What's the use of this? No matter how powerful those fools are, they can't shake Ji Xin's strength."

Zhao Xin said confidently, "General, don't underestimate the hearts of the people. Since ancient times, sages have said that the mouth of the people is more than the defense of rivers, and the hearts of the people is enough to make the ruler fall into the abyss. If you say it once or twice, others will not believe it, but if you say it ten times and a thousand times, when all the people around you are spreading it one after another, you can't help but believe it. The so-called three people become tigers. If you tell more lies, it will naturally become the truth.

"General, think about it, if it is rumored that Ji Xin is going to surrender to the enemy, how will he deal with himself?"

Nie Gai laughed and said with some gloating; "In that case, he will definitely be furious and send people around to find out who is leaving a message, but I'm afraid that the people in the city are talking about how he can catch it at that time."

After saying that, Nie Gai looked at Zhao Xin with a smile in his eyes and said strangely, "I didn't expect that at a young age, you are not only good at martial arts, but also so scheming. It's really a hero. If I win this time, when I see the king in the future, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of him. You can rest assured that I, Nie Gai, am so righteous that I will never swallow your credit. In the future, you and my brothers will share blessings and difficulties, and we will never break our promise.

Zhao Xin's "tiger's body was shocked", and his face was full of emotion. He bent down and bowed down to salute deeply; "General Nie is so kind that I am willing to serve under the general's command in this life, and I have no two hearts. In the future, general, if you ask me to go east, I will go east. If you ask me to die, I will die. If you disobey this, ask me to move ten thousand arrows through my heart, and I won't die!"

It's funny in my heart. I'm afraid you won't see your king, and it's very likely to see the king of the king. There are both blessings and difficulties. It's easy for you and that dead ghost to move.

You go underground to have a good time, and the young master will not accompany you.

As expected, in just three days, rumors in Shiyi City have been flying all over the world. Some people say that Ji Xin has secretly met with Lord Zhao and negotiated the terms of surrender. As soon as the army of the State of Zhao arrives, he will surrender and offer Shiyi to Lord Zhao. Some people say that Ji Xin is dissatisfied with the king of Zhongshan and intends to be independent according to the city and call himself king. Some people also say that Ji Xin is crazy and intends to slaughter all the Baidi people in the city, leaving only the rest. The rest of the people should please the State of Zhao.

All kinds of gossip are all over the market. They all say that they have noses and eyes, and even have all the time and place. All the people who say it are vowed to see what they see, and there is no falsehood. Although all kinds of rumors are different, the goal is undoubtedly aimed at Ji Xin alone.

These rumors soon spread into the army, and even the upper class in the city began to know about it, but no one dared to tell Ji Xin himself. When Ji Xin led the army to patrol for several days, he felt that the sergeant and the people looked at him strangely. Every time he looked at them, he avoided their eyes in a panic, as if there was a ghost in his heart. During the regular military meeting, most of the generals and officials in the city did not say a word, but their eyes flashed, which was indescribable.

Ji Xin was surprised, so he grabbed his own soldier to ask. After asking, he knew that he had been slandered like this, and he was immediately furious.

Ji Xin was originally hot-tempered and couldn't hide what was on his mind. He was furious at the regular meeting before the army that night. He scolded the villain for being despicable while clarifying himself. But these fall in the eyes of people with a heart, but they are very angry after their identity is exposed, and they are more and more suspicious as rumors spread in their hearts.

Ji Xin saw that most of his men's eyes dodged and didn't say a word. Although he was very angry, he had no choice. When there was nothing he could do, Yi Yi Yi, who newly joined the army, stood up and proposed, "Now there are rumors in the city. I'm afraid that I was deliberately done by the spies of the State of Zhao to disturb our Zhongshan army. In times of emergency, use extraordinary means. At this time, the general should lock the whole city and arrest those who dare to spread rumors and behead them, so as to deter those young people, which can also make the people feel at ease and no longer believe in rumors.

Ji Xin rushed to the doctor. When he heard it, he was overjoyed. He thought so, and quickly said yes. So he ordered the army to send elites to search for civilians and military camps, and the arrested people were directly beheaded without interrogation.

With the landing of hundreds of heads, Shiyi City quickly calmed down, but the people and sergeants in the city were panicked, and the acquaintances just greeted each other with their eyes, and they all bowed their heads and hurried on their way.

The whole city is full of murder, and only Zhao is very proud of his confidence. At this moment, he is lying leisurely on the lawn in Nie Gai's house, holding the grass roots in his mouth, touching the stubble, squinting his eyes and saying to himself, "It's windy, and the good show is about to be staged."
