Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 271

Wang Ji turned his head and saw that Zhao Kuo's men were taking the clothes off the man in gray.

Wang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Da Xing wants these assassins to disguise themselves?"

"That's right!" Zheng Zhu said with a smile: "After a while, Zhao Kuo and the strong men of our country will put on their clothes, and go to the camp outside the city in the name of escorting the county guard, and wait until we meet Meng Ao."

Zheng Zhu made a head-cutting gesture, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Wang Ji took a deep breath, and spat fiercely on the ground: "Daxing will be later, I will change my clothes and set off!"

Dozens of people died in the county guard's mansion, and they were all Hou's subordinates. This kind of thing must not be covered up.

At this point, no matter how scared Wang Ji was, he had no choice but to fight!

A quarter of an hour later, surrounded by dozens of men in gray, Wang Ji ran out of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion and headed out of the city.

After some running around, at about noon, the Qin Army's Hedong County camp was already in sight.

Zhao Kuo, who also changed into a gray man's attire, stopped his horse and said to Wang Ji in a deep voice, "Junshou, I've offended you."

With a wave of Zhao Kuo's hand, several subordinates came up and directly tied up Wang Ji, and then continued to move forward.

After a while, everyone finally arrived in front of the barracks.

The arrival of this group of people had already been discovered in the barracks, and someone shouted sharply: "Who are they?"

Zhao Kuo unhurriedly took out a token from his bosom that he had just found from the envoy, and held it up high: "I was ordered to escort the prisoner to General Meng Ao, this token is proof!"

After a while, the gate of the barracks in front of Zhao Kuo slowly opened.

Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and just rode in directly.

After a while, everyone quickly arrived outside the handsome tent, where Meng Ao was already waiting.

"Get off!" Zhao Kuo ruthlessly pulled Wang Ji off the horse, and brought it up in front of Meng Ao.

Meng Ao glanced at Zhao Kuo, his expression was a little surprised, but he was a bit vigilant when he looked closely: "Why don't you see the man from that day?"

Zhao Kuo replied unhurriedly: "The division of labor is different."

It's strange to say that Zhao Kuo is obviously from the country of Zhao, but this sentence sounds like an old Qin person.

Meng Ao glanced at Zhao Kuo, and finally set his eyes on Wang Ji, with a look of disgust on his face, he slapped Wang Ji on the face, and shouted: "Wang Ji! You are in vain to be appreciated by the king!" , actually wanted to lead Hedong County to treason! Do you know your mistake?"

"Crack!" A crisp and clear voice sounded, and a red palm print suddenly appeared on Wang Ji's face.

Unprepared, Wang Ji yelped in pain, his cheeks swelled instantly, and blood began to ooze from the corner of his mouth.

As if enraged by this slap, Wang Ji opened his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva towards Meng Ao, but he lost his aim in a hurry, and spit out crookedly.

Wang Ji looked at Meng Ao with a ferocious expression, and shouted: "Meng Ao, I am not from Qin. Now that Qin is about to lose, Hedong will soon be Zhao's territory. I will not be as stupid as you to go against Zhao. Lost a life out of thin air!"

Meng Ao laughed loudly, and suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist with a swipe: "Wang Ji! However, you have thought so hard, but today is still the time for you to die!"

Although the sharp long sword was right in front of him, Wang Ji didn't show any panic at all, but looked at Meng Ao with a sneer on his face: "Meng Ao, it's not yet known who will live or die between you and me. "

Meng Ao sneered, raised his long sword and was about to slash at Wang Ji's head when suddenly his body shook and he froze.

Zhao Kuo, who had been standing behind Wang Ji, raised his right hand at some point, holding a delicate crossbow in his hand.

There were no arrows on the hand crossbow. This was not because of Zhao Kuo's mistake, but because the arrow on the hand crossbow had now sunk into Meng Ao's throat.

Chapter 276 Controlling the Overall Situation (First Update)

Meng Ao's eyes widened, and he stared at Zhao Kuo in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that his subordinates would suddenly attack him.

But the short arrow nailed in his throat has made him speechless.

Meng Ao still wanted to move again, but at this moment Zhao Kuo had already taken a step ahead, pulling out the long sword from his waist and directly piercing into Meng Ao's chest.

Meng Ao's body was shocked again, and then fell down.

With a bang, the tall body splashed a lot of dust.

All the soldiers of the Qin army around were stunned, not knowing what to do for a while.

Holding the long sword, Zhao Kuo looked at the soldiers around him with a stern look, and shouted: "General Meng Ao colluded with Zhao Guo and wanted to lead the army to surrender Zhao, but I and the county guard have designed to capture and kill you. If you are not accomplices, don't Act rashly, or shoot and kill!"

After saying this, Zhao Kuo reached out and took out his token, and held it up high in front of everyone.

Zhao Kuo's move was considered in advance, and it was also the way Zhao Kuo thought could calm down the situation the fastest.

But there is one person who will never buy it.

Meng Ao's personal guard captain, Meng Wu, who is also Meng Ao's son, saw his father die on the spot, his eyes turned red immediately, he drew out his long sword and rushed towards Zhao Kuo: "The thief must die!"

Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "Take it!"

With this order, several disguised Zhao soldiers behind him immediately raised their swords and stepped forward to meet Meng Wu.

These people are all the elites in the army of Zhao State. If a few people besieged a Meng Wu who was in chaos because of his father's death, it would be no problem. Meng Wu was stabbed in the arm in just a few rounds and lost. was captured.

But as soon as Meng Wu made such a move, many nearby Qin soldiers began to move again, especially the dozens of Meng Ao's personal guards behind Meng Wu directly showed their weapons, if Meng Wu hadn't been able to charge It was about to be captured, and these guards might have already charged up to fight.

The subordinates behind Zhao Kuo also drew their weapons when they saw this, and the two sides fell into a confrontation, and the atmosphere was tense.

At this time, Wang Ji, who had just been untied, also yelled: "I am the governor of Hedong County, and I was ordered by the king to kill Meng Ao's rebels. If you act rashly, it will be a crime of treason. In the future, if the king pursues it, everyone will be punished!"

To be honest, Wang Ji's bruised nose and swollen face are actually not very convincing.

But the problem is that among the soldiers of the Qin army present, except for about fifty of them were the personal guards brought by Meng Ao, the rest of the soldiers were all county soldiers in Hedong County. When they were not fighting, they were Wang Ji. This citizen of the governor of Hedong County, and Wang Ji has been the governor of the county for several years, so he still has a certain reputation.

Therefore, when Wang Ji opened his mouth, the situation that had been somewhat unfavorable began to stabilize again.

Meng Wu, who was captured, wanted to yell when he saw this, but Zhao Kuo cut Meng Wu's neck with a quick hand, and immediately knocked Meng Wu out.

After finishing all this, Zhao Kuo glanced at Wang Ji, and shouted to the surroundings: "Who is the highest position here?"

An officer of the Qin Army stood up and said, "Chen He, the school lieutenant, has seen the prefect, sir."

This person didn't know Zhao Kuo's identity, so he simply called him an official.

Chen He was actually leading a troop here to guard the safety of the general Meng Ao, but this Chen He was obviously more of a chicken thief, and he stood up only after seeing that the situation had settled.

Zhao Kuo glanced at Chen He, and said in a deep voice, "Are you loyal to the King?"

Chen He straightened his body all of a sudden, and said loudly: "Everyone in the old Qin Dynasty is loyal to the king!"

Zhao Kuo nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand and pointed at Meng Ao's personal soldiers who were still confronting his subordinates in front of him, and said: "Order your subordinates to capture all these people for me! Ru Jiaguan Jinjue!"
