Qin Wangzhu frowned, struggling in his heart.

On the one hand, Wang Ji must be executed for collaborating with the enemy, but on the other hand, Fan Ju cannot be implicated.

At this time, Qin was suffering from internal and external troubles, and he had just ascended the throne, so he had to rely on Fan Ju to support the overall situation.

But Fan Ju was Wang Ji's candidate. Fan Ju had already been pardoned once when Zheng Anping surrendered a few days ago. If he were to be pardoned again this time, it would have a serious impact on his prestige.

Fan Ju sighed. He knew that King Qin was struggling, but he couldn't do anything. If he did anything at this time, not only would he not be able to help King Qin, but he would also be suspected of forcing the emperor to marry him.

"Pull them out, behead them, hang their corpses at the city gate, and ransack their homes. As for the family members, if they have no collusion with the Zhao State, it will be done for the sake of the Prime Minister's face. If they have collusion with the Zhao State, all of them will be beheaded." After a moment, Qin Wangzhu said.

.

"The guilty minister kowtows to thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Ji kowtowed.

…

In Zhao Jun's camp, Zhao Kuo was discussing with the generals how to attack Xianyang. At this time, a soldier suddenly walked in, came to Liu Ping's side, and said something in his ear.

"What happened?" Zhao Kuo asked.

If a soldier comes in during a meeting, something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty, our Zhao State's spy who was bribed by the State of Qin was killed by the State of Qin, and is now hanging on the city gate." Liu Ping's face looked a little unsightly. Wang Ji had a big appetite, and he spent a lot of money to bribe him.

Wang Ji had to pay extra for every piece of information he sent. As a result, Wang Ji was killed by the Qin State before this was effective a few times. It was a huge loss.

The eyes of Le Yi and others changed slightly. They knew that Zhao State had internal support in Qin State. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhao State to receive the news as soon as Qin State sent troops. They would even know who the general was and the number of the army.

But they don't know who the culprit is.

As for some of the generals below, they basically didn’t even know that Zhao had internal contacts in Qin.

This kind of thing has always been extremely confidential, and only two people in the entire Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Kuo and Liu Ping, knew Wang Ji's identity.

In fact, Zhao State's intelligence personnel generally use codes to transmit messages. Without a code book, even if the enemy intercepts them, they will not know what they mean.

If Wang Ji uses a code to deliver a message, even if he is caught and refuses to admit it, Qin will not be able to catch anything.

But Wang Ji is a "non-staff member". He always comes to Zhao State to sell information for money, and the price is extremely high. This makes Liu Ping very unhappy, and he is also worried that Wang Ji will be discovered by Qin State one day.

He leaked the method to Qin State, so he did not teach Wang Ji this method.

Wang Ji was immediately caught without a chance to defend himself.

"Your Majesty, the catapult is almost ready. It's just a good opportunity to launch an attack and dampen the morale of the Qin army." Li Si said.

"Okay. General Lecheng, you will be responsible for the next siege." Zhao Kuo looked down and finally focused on Lecheng.

In fact, it doesn't matter who is responsible. At this time, it is just a feint attack, using catapults to disgust the Qin State. The real attack will have to wait until the canal is dug.

"Jun Duping, the matter of the aqueduct will be left to General Lian Po for the time being. You will be responsible for leading the Shesheng Battalion and the strong crossbowmen to shoot at Xianyang." Zhao Kuo said to Tian Dan again.

The Shengsheng Battalion and the Powerful Crossbowmen are just ordinary crossbow corps. Only with the blessing of Tian Dan can they have the strength of the military soul corps.

"No." Tian Dan said, cupping his fists.

"In the next period of time, pay close attention to the movements of Chu State." Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of it and said to Liu Ping.

"I understand." Liu Ping nodded.

"Report!" At this time, another soldier came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, General Lejian is reporting urgently."

"A letter from General Lejian?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuo quickly took it and opened it with a smile on his face, "A letter from General Lejian. Zi Chu has withdrawn from Longxi after receiving the news that our army has reached Xianyang.
