Chapter 14 Intelligence
The shouting and killing sounds, the Qin army attacked the city in a big way, the momentum was amazing, the soldiers of Zhao State above the city wall were ready, they were not afraid of the Qin army at all, with perseverance on their faces, the king personally participated in the battle, and the soldiers were even more brave.
Mu Chen stood on the city wall with a gloomy face with a broad-bladed sword, the Qin army's bow and crossbow attacked, and the pro-soldiers quickly flashed behind him, the shield blocked, Mu Chen snorted coldly, "Lao Hei, second baby, shoot Lao Tzu to death!" β
The two agreed, "Brother Mu, look at it." β
Bending the bow and arrows, both of them are sharpshooters with 100 shots, they have been hunting with their fathers since they were children, and they prefer to use primitive bows and arrows.
"It's fucking amazing!"
Mu Chen saw it in his eyes, and the Dao arrows were issued, and the Qin army was suddenly killed and wounded, and the drums were bursting, and the Qin army camp behind quickly made up for it, rushing forward through the bow and crossbow attack range, the soldiers approached the city wall, and grabbed the ladder with both hands and climbed up quickly.
"Smash!"
The boulder was lifted above his head, and he smashed it straight to the top of the Qin army's head in the direction of the ladder, screaming loudly, the boulder fell, and the Qin army fell one after another.
Crunch, crunch, the catapult is ready, above the city wall, a flag in the hand of one person waving, adjusting the direction, several people's arms loosened, huge stones are thrown high, the use of catapults can maximize the transmission height of the stones There is still a distance.
Gou Liu's hand couldn't help but protect the top of his head when he saw it, "Bai Ying, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back with Liuzi to take a look." β
Bai Ying promised to run straight to the city, the figure disappeared, and Zhao Kuo patted the dog Liu's shoulder, "Let's go, Liuzi." β
Dog Liu agreed, followed behind Zhao Kuo, bent over, time seemed to go back to a few years ago, all the brothers followed the eldest brother Zhao Kuo, now it is completely different, Zhao Kuo has become a high king, Heiba died in battle, Bai Ying also became a general, Lai Sanyin has no letter, and Gou Liu has become a businessman.
A group of people went straight to the place of last night's accident, outside Handan City, the Qin army attacked the city, the people in Handan City lived in an orderly manner, not affected by the war at all, according to common sense, there must be people onlookers, now it can't help but look deserted, step in, the body has long been gone, and there is a faint trace of blood on the ground.
Dog Six stepped forward quickly and looked left and right, "It's really strange, it was obviously in this position last night." β
Zhao Kuo stepped forward, this place is relatively secluded, the dark place next to the dog six is a little damp, and there are footprints on the ground, there must be very few people passing by here on weekdays, the only explanation is that someone set up an ambush here last night, as for the disappeared corpse, it can also be explained, some people are worried about being discovered, so they secretly transport the corpse away.
"Big brother, what the sixth son said is true."
Zhao Kuo smiled indifferently, "If you can't even believe your own brother, who else can believe it, let's go, no matter how shrewd the opponent is, it will also leave traces." β
A shop door was open, the shopkeeper yawned in his mouth, Zhao Kuo stepped forward and tapped the table with his hand, the man looked up, looked stunned, and quickly got up, "Please!" After speaking, he made a look, and the guy on the side hurriedly stepped forward to block the door panel.
"Meet the King."
"Get up, there's been movement in the caravan lately!"
In Handan City, Yiren, Zhao Ji and others were quietly taken away from Handan, and the biggest suspicion was that the caravans coming and going to Handan, they could not all be arrested and questioned, so they had to quietly and secretly use scouts as merchants to establish contact with each other, and the prosperous places in Handan City were all Zhao Kuo's eyes and ears.
The man said: "Great King, a large number of caravans entered the Chu State, the Wei State, and the Republic of Korea a few days ago, and the border dispute of the Zhao State should be avoided according to common sense." β
"Can you secretly send someone to watch?"
The man nodded, his gaze falling to the door, "The time should be almost up!" β
Bang bang, the sound of knocking on the door panel sounded, the guy stepped forward, his fingers responded a few times, and soon there was a response sound, the door panel opened, and several people waited in front of the door, and there was an agreement in advance, if they couldn't make a code, they must be prepared.
"Your Excellency."
"I've seen the king yet."
"King! Meet the King. Several people hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute, and they had no chance to see the king on weekdays, and their expressions couldn't help but be a little more restrained.
Zhao Kuo nodded, and the man said: "Get up, the king is here this time to listen to the movements of the Chamber of Commerce in Handan City, what he hears, what he sees, no one can hide it." β
One humane; "Today, I saw the caravan of the Wei State gathered in one place, and the accompanying guards, coachmen and others entered a compound one after another, and they didn't go out for a day."
"The same goes for Korean caravans."
"The same is true of the state of Chu."
"It's too much of a coincidence that the three major chambers of commerce are gathering at the same time." Zhao Kuo listened and said the doubts in his heart.
The man said: "King, just shoot immediately, no matter how much, catch it first." β
Zhao Kuo shook his head, "Don't worry, you must not take a shot lightly before there is no absolute evidence, so as not to startle the snake." β
Gou Liu stepped forward, "It's better for the sixth son to go to find out the rumors, and he happens to have some dealings with the head of the Wei Chamber of Commerce." β
Zhao Kuo nodded, "This method is the safest, but it has to work hard for the six brothers." β
Gou Liumian smiled, "King, where is it, if it weren't for the king, the sixth son would definitely still be abducted and deceived in the market, how can he be an upright person like now." β
The two hands clenched hard, Zhao Kuo nodded, and Dog Six left quickly, and the man said, "This is not the leader of the Liu Liu Chamber of Commerce in Handan City!" β
Zhao Kuo nodded, and the back of the sixth son slowly disappeared, "He is also the best brother of this king." β
In a house, there were more than a dozen carts parked, one person stepped forward and opened it vigorously, removed the leather goods covered above, and the weapons were all below, and he took out his long sword and shook it, the cold light flashed, and everyone was happy.
One person stepped forward, "The leader of the meeting has sent a message, all the chambers of commerce are ready, once they receive the news, they will immediately capture the city gate, and the inside and outside should join forces to attack Handan." β
"It's just a small Handan city, I can't wait for a long time." The man had a scar on his face, he was a brave and ruthless lord on weekdays, his swordsmanship was not weak, and the purpose of following the caravan to Handan was to take advantage of the chaos to kill the soldiers defending the city of Zhao and open the city gate.
Bangbangbang, the door panel knocked, everyone's expressions changed, they made a look, the weapon was thrown into the car and quickly closed, and the guards quickly retreated to the backyard.
Bangbang
"Check it out."
The courtyard door opened, and Gou Liu, with his hands behind his back, walked in slowly with square steps, "Master, it's always good." β
"Master Liu, what kind of wind is blowing you!"
Gou Liu laughed, "I don't have time to come over and take a look these days, so I just happened to stop by today, so I came to see my brother." β
"Well said, talk inside."
Dog Liu nodded, full of puff chest, a pair of eyes kept looking around, especially the big car parked aside, and the deep car marks on the ground, it can be seen that it must be an extremely heavy thing, this chamber of commerce usually sells only leather goods and clothes, which must be strange.
"Master Liu, please."
"Okay, thank you."
After a greeting and a little business matter, the man's face showed an anxious look, and the dog Liu also found a reason to stand up, "There are many things to do in the chamber of commerce, and there is a chance to talk about it." β
"Okay, send Master Liu."
The dog didn't squint, and left the Chamber of Commerce with square steps, and a group of guards in the backyard walked out one after another, "Where did this person come from?" β
The man said: "The traders in Handan City are not small, and they know a lot of dignitaries from Zhao State, so the business is getting bigger and bigger. β
"Will there be another purpose for coming here at this time?"
"Probably not, not to mention that there is nothing to see here, let's disperse, everyone is not allowed to go out, wait here for the news of the master."
"Yes!"
Dog Six deliberately made a detour to make sure that there was no one behind him, and he hurried to the shop that had left before, "King, these people really don't have any good intentions. The six generals of the dog said what they saw one by one, Zhao Kuo nodded again and again, fortunately, he found out in advance that once the other party suddenly made trouble, the Qin army should cooperate with the outside, and it was inevitable to take care of one and lose the other.
"Immediately mobilize the palace guards and surround all the three chambers of commerce, and no one can leave!"
"Yes!"
The order was given, the guards left quickly, and it didn't take long for the palace guards to assemble quickly, each holding a sharp sword, and his skills as a palace guard must be good.
The sky gradually darkened, and the day's fighting was coming to an end, LΓΌ Buwei was not in a hurry, he simply attacked the city during the day and collected the troops at night.
