Chapter 502 Behind the Scenes
"keep distance?"
Concubine Yan looked at Zhao Shuang with suspicion on her face.
Zhao Shuang was drinking from a small cup, but when he saw Concubine Yan's gaze, he was stunned.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Concubine Yan snorted lightly, crossed her shoulders with her arms, sat on the corridor, and turned her head away.
"I heard that you hang out with a lot of vixens. Are you just looking for an excuse to get rid of me?"
"Who did you listen to?"
Concubine Yan coughed and subconsciously glanced at the Moon God beside her. At this time, Luna put down the fan in her hand and stood up hurriedly.
"That's not important. What's important is, why are you doing this?"
Luna wants to know Zhao Shuang's purpose before making a decision.
"Stand opposite me, keep your distance from me. It's best to stand with my enemies. Then, when they rush towards me, stab them in the back."
Zhao Shuang said with a smile on his face. I don't know why, seeing Zhao Shuang like this, Concubine Yan and Yue Shen inexplicably felt a hint of coldness.
Luna heard this and smiled slightly.
"So, are you asking us to help you?"
Zhao Shuang lowered his head and looked at the beautiful face of the Moon God so close at hand.
"That's okay."
At this time, Concubine Yan intervened in time.
"So since you want us to help you, what reward will you give us?"
"Um?"
Inexplicably, Zhao Shuang felt a chill when he saw the sweet smiles on the faces of Concubine Yan and Moon God.
Changping Junfu.
"People from the Yin Yang family entered the Qin Palace and were summoned by the King of Qin?"
Lord Changping touched his beard and nodded slightly.
"interesting!"
"Brother, what's interesting?"
Chang Wenjun asked from the side. In his opinion, this is just a normal thing. People from hundreds of schools of thought and travelers from all over the world want to enter the courts of all countries and receive the favor of kings.
"When the people of the Yin Yang Family knew Zhao Shuang's true identity, they either became enemies with him or tried their best to repair the relationship. But they did neither of these, and chose to seek refuge with a bigger backer. This shows that the Yin Yang Family has Standing opposite Zhao Shuang."
"But these crazy people are so slippery that you can't count on them!"
Chang Wenjun complained.
Chang Pingjun waved his hand.
"No, as long as they don't side with Zhao Shuang, it's good news for us. The rest is to help Yan Dan escape."
"This is not easy to do. If it is exposed, it will harm yourself. Is it really worth it for a Yan Dan?"
"His value is greater than you think."
Chang Pingjun smiled, took a few steps forward, and straightened his body. Clearly, he's already thinking about the specific implementation details.
"Our people in Qin cannot move, otherwise we will not be able to hide it from others. Let Tian Guang prepare and secretly assist Yan Mo. The most important thing is to let Zhao Shuang leave Guanzhong during the operation."
"But it's not easy!"
As Chang Wenjun said, he saw Chang Ping Jun walk to the desk and pick up a military newspaper from the border.
"This just helps us."
Henan.
To the north of Guanzhong, the terrain is high and surrounded by rivers, with fertile water and grass. It has always been the pasture of various tribes of the Hu people. After the Huns became powerful, Henan became the location of their royal court.
The Hu people went south to plunder and plunder, which became a serious problem for other countries. So a long time ago, Qin, Zhao, Wei and other countries built the Great Wall on the border according to the momentum of the mountains and rivers.
After Wei withdrew from Hedong, Qin and Zhao were under almost all pressure. Compared with Zhao State, Qin State had a clearer understanding of the threat from the Hu people.
It's not because the Qin people are smarter and farsighted than the Zhao people, but if the Hu people break through the border defenses, their troops will point directly at Guanzhong, the heart of Qin. The strategic situation of Zhao State is relatively favorable. For Zhao State, the threat from the Central Plains countries was greater than that of the Hu people.
The flames of war are burning, war horses are neighing, women are crying under the Huns' scimitars, and the laughter of the Huns is everywhere.
This raid was very fruitful, with countless iron tools, people, and food being obtained.
The Xiongnu Chanyu Touman was riding on his horse, looking proudly at the county magistrate who was bound by a group of Huns.
"Are there any heroes in Qin?"
"snort!"
The county magistrate snorted lightly and turned his head in disdain.
Touman didn't care and smiled softly.
"This time, I won't kill you. Please give me a message to Lord Hanyang of Qin."
The county magistrate was a little surprised. How could this Xiongnu Chanyu know Han Yangjun?
"It's time to pay back what he took from me. If I don't pay it back, there will never be peace on the border of Qin."
Seeing Touman like this, the county magistrate glared angrily and yelled.
"Did Chanyu forget that more than 100,000 horsemen died in the front of Yu Lin's army?"
Touman laughed loudly.
"I'm about to learn a lesson. If you have the ability, let him do it!"
With that said, the Xiongnu Chanyu led his horse away. The war horse galloped, carrying the loot, and quickly disappeared.
In the vast world, there are only ruins, the county magistrate alone, and dead bodies on the ground.
Sakura garden in the mountains.
Zhao Shuang has seemed a little sluggish in recent days, lying on the corridor, feeling very lack of energy.
"My lord, the Xiongnu chanyu went south to plunder and conquer several counties in the north. And every time he went to a place, he would definitely leave a lot of people alive and say, 'he is here for my lord.'"
Zhao Shuang hit him and waved his hand.
"This guy committed murder, set fire to robbery, and then pinned the charge on me after it was all over. How shameless!"
"But the people of the Chu clan said at the court that it was the Lord who had brought trouble to the Qin State, and they wanted the Lord to give an explanation."
Zhao Shuang didn't seem to care at all.
"Then what did the king say?"
"The King of Qin seems to have not made up his mind, how to deal with it?"
They successively attacked Zhao and suffered two major defeats. Although Qin's foundation was not shaken, it also severely damaged its vitality. At this time, if the Xiongnu invaded, if it was not a passive defense, it would definitely consume a lot of food, grass and armaments.
Qin's focus is on the next attack on the six countries. At this time, the Huns were a secondary conflict.
All resources were directed towards the campaign to conquer the Six Kingdoms. At this time, making a big move against the Xiongnu would slow down the process of unifying the world and create many variables.
Zhao Shuang smiled and took out the memorial that had been prepared for a long time.
"Many people must be expecting me to leave Xianyang at this time!"
"In this case, why does the Lord still follow their wishes?"
"If the Huns are allowed to wreak havoc, they will threaten the trade routes sooner or later. Then, there will be real trouble."
Zhao Shuang's expression changed and he became very serious.
"Attack them and save them. Regardless of whether the Xiongnu going south at this time is a coincidence or a premeditated plan, I have to deal with it. However, only when I leave Guanzhong can they feel relieved."
Having said this, Zhao Shuang's serious face showed a smile.
"In this way, my people can stand behind them smoothly."
