General Qin

Jicheng.

It is named after Jiqiu in the city. It is a large metropolis between Bohai Sea and Jieshi. It is adjacent to Qi and Zhao in the south and Hu in the northeast.

In ancient times, this was the location of Ji Kingdom established by the descendants of Emperor Yao.

When King Wu destroyed Shang, the Zhou Dynasty praised him, and Ji State became Zhou's "country of guest service".

As for King Cheng of Zhou, Duke Zhao's son Yan Houke was entrusted to Yanbo near the Liuli River to control the local Yin adherents, and Yan and Ji lived next to each other.

Later, when Yan was strong and Ji was weak, Yan State unceremoniously destroyed Ji State and turned its capital Ji into its own capital.

Today, Yan State, once a powerful country in Northeast Asia, has come to a dead end.

Outside Jicheng, the sound was overwhelming.

The Qin army from Guanzhong in the west set up military camps outside the city. The flying black flag looked like a soaring black dragon from a distance, stretching its teeth and claws around Jicheng. The century-old Yan State Sheji was torn to pieces.

Qin's 100,000 troops, plus tens of thousands of prisoners and soldiers transporting grain and fodder, stationed around Jicheng, completely encircling the ancient city.

Li Xin's troops were stationed in the east of Jicheng, blocking the road from Jicheng to the east.

After the military tents were set up, they began to divide the defense areas of the soldiers.

Zhao Tuo received the summoning order from the five hundred masters, straightened his clothes, and walked into a tent.

Seeing someone coming in, the few people sitting inside stopped talking and looked at him in unison.

"It's really early, gentlemen."

Zhao Tuo smiled and greeted the other four people.

"Um."

"It's not too late for Zhao Bai to come."

The four generals in the camp responded vaguely, and the oldest one didn't even bother to nod his head, and directly ignored Zhao Tuo's greeting.

Zhao Tuo was not annoyed by this, so he went to the side and found a seat to sit down.

The four generals in this tent are all his colleagues, and they all work together under the command of the same five hundred generals.

Among them, the youngest general is in his twenties, and the oldest general is almost forty.

And because Li Xin was born in Longxi, he likes to recruit local people, which led to the fact that the four hundred generals are all from Longxi, and they have already formed a small group with each other.

And Zhao Tuo, who has not been crowned in the year, is from Zhaodi.

No matter in age or place of origin, Zhao Tuo was very different from the other four, so they disdained Zhao Tuo's joining, and looked down on this child who didn't even have hair.

Some of them may also be jealous, after all, they have fought hard on the battlefield for more than ten years before they were upgraded to the rank of no change, and they finally became the general's short-handed guards.

And a boy in his teens was equal to them in a blink of an eye, and no one would be psychologically balanced, let alone everyone rumored that this boy was recruited by General Li himself. This unique favor is even more impressive. jealous.

Now that he was rejected, Zhao Tuo would not have the cheek to talk to them, he only maintained the superficial friendship, and there was silence in the tent.

Finally, there was a sound of steady footsteps.

A burly Qin general walked in. He had big eyes and thick eyebrows, and a short beard under his chin. He was about twenty-six or seventeen years old.

"I have seen the official."

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

The five hundred lords in front of them not only have an oppressive position, but also have the title of doctor, which is one level higher than the rest of them. So even the oldest hundred generals had to obey.

"Well, my department is in charge of guarding..."

Lord Wubai's voice was low, but very powerful. As soon as he came in, he started to get into the theme, and arranged everyone's defense zone properly in a short while.

"You wait. Zhao Tuo will stay behind."

"only."

All the generals resigned in response. Before they left, they all stared at Zhao Tuo with envious eyes.

Not only General Li Xin, it seems that even their superior, the five hundred masters, treated this young hundred general specially.

After the four hundred generals left the tent, tranquility was restored in the tent.

The corner of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched, and he bowed his hands to the five hundred masters and said, "What orders do you have from the superior?"

The five hundred masters stroked the short beard under his chin, and looked at Zhao Tuo with a half-smile: "It's nothing, I'm just curious about how you went from being the charioteer driver of an assassin from the Yan Kingdom to being from the Qin Kingdom in a blink of an eye." No more than a hundred generals, but he was specially recruited into the short army by General Li."

Hearing the other party reveal his details, Zhao Tuo showed a wry smile on his face.

This is really no coincidence.

Zhao Tuo's superior Five Hundred Masters, who was transferred to the short soldiers, turned out to be a person who had met once and knew his former identity.

Su Jiao.

When Jing Ke entered Qin Dynasty, Wang Jian dispatched an elite cavalry to escort him all the way to Hangu Pass. The commander of that cavalry was Su Jiao in front of him.

The former hundred general of the cavalry, after many battles, was also promoted to honor and honor, and was appointed as the master of the five hundred short soldiers.

When Zhao Tuo first reported for duty, he was startled. Fortunately, the army was about to leave at that time, and the military affairs were busy, so Su Jiao didn't show anything unusual, and even acted like he didn't know Zhao Tuo, which made Zhao Tuo heave a sigh of relief.

But it's a pity, I can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth day, so the question that should come still comes.

Zhao Tuo hesitated for a while, and said, "I am not from Yan, and I was coerced by assassins at that time, so..."

"Understood, it's exactly as I expected."

Su Jiao smiled lightly and said, "So the rumored Gao Tuo is just a pseudonym, and your real name is Zhao Tuo."

Zhao Tuo nodded.

The smile on Su Jiao's mouth faded, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Zhao Tuo and said, "I don't care what your background is or what you have done before. But when you are in this short barracks, you will I listen to the order carefully and obey with all my heart. If I find out that you have other thoughts, I will definitely punish you!"

Su Jiao's voice was cold and threatening.

Zhao Tuo was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Wei."

Seeing Zhao Tuo's obedient response, Su Jiao said, "Go down and follow the military order just now."

Zhao Tuo quickly agreed, and then resigned from the account.

After leaving the camp, Zhao Tuo let out a sigh of relief.

Guys, the rest of the day doesn't look like it's going to be easy.

The four colleagues rejected him, and his direct superior even threatened him. Zhao Tuo can only be more careful in the future, and must not be picked out by others.

After he went back, he also conveyed the defense task to his soldiers.

Among them, Zhao Tuo was appointed by Zhao Tuo as the head of the village with a title above Shejian, and managed fifty soldiers.

The chief of the other village is Guo Guang, who is about thirty years old and has the third-level title of hairpin.

Guo Guang is the only one among the hundred people with a hairpin title, and he was also the head of the original village, so Zhao Tuo really can't replace him, so he can only be forced to make do with it. But still obedient.

Not long after Zhao Tuo arranged the military affairs.

The Qin army launched a tentative attack on Jicheng.
