Chapter 441 Assassin's Creed

As the first emperor of a different surname to proclaim himself emperor, Gongsun Shu had a very unhappy life in the past six months.

As soon as the tragic heart of the fifth Lun Hongmen entered Chang'an, the revenge of Han people who protested in the future were all sent to see Emperor Wu of Han, and the dissidents in Weibei were almost eliminated. After the people of Chang'an in Weinan were hungry for half a year, the scholars had long lost the courage to "not eat Wei's millet". After the King of Wei released the rumor of becoming emperor, only Ban Biao and others secretly complained, and at most resigned from office to protest.

However, after basically not experiencing wars in Shu, the famous scholars often miss the Han Dynasty while eating and drinking, so they used various methods to refuse to become officials.

Gongsun Shu asked people to collect scholars from all walks of life to join the new regime. Whenever he was disappointed, these old guys had already turned the verdict into performance art.

So the following conversations often appear: "I want to call Li Ye, a native of Zitong, a doctor, and have been summoned many times, but they refuse to be sick. The court is greedy for famous virtue and lacks a position in the position of officials. Is this time the recruitment?"

"Your Majesty, Li Ye is dead."

"How did you die!?"

"Li Ye repeatedly refused to obey his illness. Wasn't Your Majesty angry at that time? He asked the envoy to follow the order with poison. If he agreed, he would be given the title of Duke and Marquis. If he did not agree, he would be given poison wine."

"Unexpectedly, Li Ye said, "A gentleman is an official to eliminate the dangers of the country. Where can he use high palace and high fortune as bait to force him?" He also said, "Famous name can be made but not destroyed, and body can be killed but not humiliated." So he took the poisonous wine and died. The messenger wanted to stop him but did not stop him."

After Li Ye's death, Gongsun Shu was afraid of being killed by a wise man, so he sent people to mourn and gave him a hundred pieces of cloth. However, the Li family fled elsewhere and refused to accept it.

With this death, Emperor Gongsun's reputation among the famous scholars in Yizhou was completely bad. Even if he had no thoughts about the former Han Dynasty, he felt that Gongsun Shu was narrow-minded and difficult to achieve great things. The ancients said that if he did not enter a dangerous country or stay in a chaotic country, he had a variety of ways to avoid officials and played with them.

For example, Fei Yi, a famous scholar from Jianwei County, ran to the deep mountains to live in seclusion. Gongsun Shu sent someone to chase and invite him, and arrested his wife as a hostage, threatening Fei Yi. However, this man actually applied the sap of sapphire on himself, causing his skin to rot into scabies, and he even put his hair on his face to avoid it. Gongsun Shu couldn't make things difficult for a lunatic, so he had to give up.

There is another even more outstanding person. Ren Yong, a nobleman from Jianwei County, was good at calendars and was famous in Yizhou. He could infer the weather, calculate the movement of the sun and the moon, and be familiar with the calendar. Gongsun Shu was quite superstitious and needed such a person to send someone to invite him, but Ren Yong pretended that he had glaucoma, could not see things, his ears were deaf, and he could not distinguish sounds.

Gongsun Shu was not good at anything else, but the spy politics was doing well, and sent a dead soldier to stare at the Ren family to see if this person's eye disease was true or false.

It’s okay to watch this, but an ethical case was discovered!

"Your Majesty, Ren Yong's wife is a *****. She took advantage of her deafness and blindness, and she openly took her adulterer home to proclaim her sexual intercourse. Ren Yong sat in the courtyard, and the two passed by in a hall, laughing endlessly. For half an hour, Ren Yong suddenly realized that he was unaware of it."

"And his son fell into the well and cried for help. Ren Yong didn't hear it. The person who followed him couldn't help but go to help. It seems that he was really blind and deaf."

"He is also a poor person." After hearing this sad story, Gongsun Shu felt soft and did not force Ren Yong to no longer, it was just strange.

"Why do these famous scholars suffer from serious illnesses every time I recruit you?"

The flattering people in the court then said: "Those who have not had enough virtue and have no good fortune to be the king's official position, so they have difficulty."

"Maybe that's true." Gongsun Shu could only touch the jade seal and sighed.

The internal failure to bring the famous scholars in Yizhou back to their hearts, and the external war was not going smoothly.

Last year, Gongsun Shuyu Prime Minister Li Xiong agreed on the strategy of "reciting the Rong in the west, pacifying Yiyue in the south, stabilizing the interior, and then moving south to the river to seize the Nanjun, crossing the Jing, and benefiting."

To this end, Gongsun Shu specially sent Li Xiong and others to Yufu, Bajun, built the "Baidi City", stationed troops and trained, and built the boat ship in Jiangzhou (Chongqing). After a winter preparation, he went downstream after spring, crossed the Three Gorges, and attacked the Nanjun under the control of King Li of Chu.

I thought that the local princes of Chu State would surrender sadly, but they did not expect that the Chu army would resist quite resolutely. The son-in-law of King Qin Feng of Chu, Tian Rong, the sweeping general, defeated the Shu army in Yiling, and the fleet of Gongsun Shu was completely reimbursed!

Mr. Lu, who was tempted from Hanzhong, was also hit hard by the Red Eyebrow and retreated in disappointment.

This caused the confidence of the ministers who "get married" to plummet. After entering Xia, Gongsun Shu heard that the fifth reunion swept Youji and was immediately jealous and envious. He sent Hou Ba as an envoy to send pandas to the fifth reunion.

As May approaches, Gongsun Shu was discussing the court again, holding the jade seal and suddenly asked: "Since the Nanshun River flowing to shake Jingzhou is temporarily unfavorable, it will take another year and a half to build the boat army again. Instead of spending time in vain, I plan to cross the mountains north to attack the Three Qins, how about?"

...

As soon as Gongsun Shu said this, all the ministers were shocked!

Even the State of Chu could not defeat him, and he still wanted to confront the powerful King of Wei. The ministers immediately opposed it and said: "In the past, King Wu of Zhou attacked Yin, he first reviewed the troops in Mengjin, and the eight hundred princes supported each other in unison, but King Wu believed that the time was not yet ripe. Now the king should first cultivate virtue and righteousness and wait for the time."

"Your Majesty, all the ministers are in trouble, please behead them!"

A voice sounded in the court, but it was Jing Han, a cavalry commander who was quite trustworthy in Gongsun Shu. This person was a disciple who had been following Gongsun Shu for more than ten years. He heard that he was a descendant of the assassin Jing Ke. Now he has returned to his old career and trained a large number of loyal dead soldiers for Gongsun Shu.

Jing Han was also the most active war pro-war faction in the court. He said: "Two years ago, the King of Wei had no power, and only drove tens of thousands of pigs to brave the courage. He was forced by the powerful inside and was attacked by Liu Bosheng's troops outside. At that time, Wei Xiang supported Liu Ying and seized Liangzhou. The soldiers and soldiers were attached. He did not take advantage of the victory to fight for the destiny of heaven. Instead, he retired and wanted to make the career of Xibo, and watched Liu Bosheng lose his achievements, and the fifth unit was unified with the Sili, so he lost his right Fufeng and could only be limited to Longyou."

"Now the fifth reunion has swept across Hebei, and there is one of the three parts of the world. If Your Majesty listened to the words of the ministers, he would be defeated in the southern line and cultivate the civil service. He would talk about the preaching of King Wu. Then, the fifth reunion would be full of Yongliang, blocking the northern paths, and no chance to go north to achieve great achievements, and he would be trapped in Shu!"

Although this statement makes sense, there are too many people who oppose the war. Even Gongsun Shu’s two younger brothers advised him: “Your Majesty, it is not advisable to have a country of thousands of miles away, and the success or failure will be determined in one fell swoop.”

The Northern Expedition in Hanzhong was abolished, but after the ministers retreated, Gongsun Shu stayed alone in Jinghan, so he proposed another strategy: "As I expected, the next step, the King of Wei would face the west and attack Long. If Longyou Liangzhou is captured, the Han family would be halfway through his hands."

Jing Han said: "According to my foolish plans, we should take advantage of the fact that Longyou still has the strength to fight and do our best to help, maintain the balance between Guanlong and protect Wei Xiang!"

Speaking of Wei, Gongsun Shu was angry: "But Wei Xiang was capricious. He accepted the title of "King Shuo Ning", but it did not make it public and Liu Ying was not deposed yet."

Jing Han said: "Wei Xiang is still lucky now and does not want to suffer the disadvantage of abolishing the Han Dynasty. But when the fifth reincarnation leads his troops to the west, he is in danger. Wei Xiang will abandon the Han Dynasty and support him!"

Therefore, starting a family requires shifting the focus. In Hanzhong, Wudu will stock up on food and fodder, train troops, and wait for the fifth reunion to go to war with Longyou. If the Wei army can be severely defeated in Longdi, the Shu army may have the opportunity to go north.

Gongsun Shu nodded and asked Jing Han again: "You think the assassination of King Lun of Wei can be successful?"

Jing Han is worthy of being a descendant of Jing Ke. Not only does he advocate external expansion, but he also suggests that he should follow the example of the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and use some special means, such as assassination! He thinks that he can create victory.

"In the past, the king and the assassination of the king and Liao, who wanted to make a spell on Qingji, could turn the situation around in one fell swoop, and make great contributions with less effort."

In Jing Han's view, the Wei Kingdom of the Fifth Reunification seemed powerful, but in fact it was also very fragile. Hebei, Wuling, and various generals and ministers gathered entirely on the fifth Reunification alone. Once the King of Wei died and his son was young and weak, his ministers under his command would separate their powers.

"Didn't the ministers oppose success or failure in one fell swoop? Indeed, if a large army is launched to conquer, over the years, the elders and the couple will be exhausted and exhausted in the Jiange of Shu Road. In comparison, no matter whether the assassination is successful or failure, it will only sacrifice the lives of one or two loyal soldiers, so why does it damage the vitality of Shu?"

But Jing Han had to admit: "But even though the dead soldiers were trained in the mountains of Linqiong for many years, they often made mistakes and failed in one blow. Therefore, the fact that the ancestor Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin and Zhang Liangbo mistakenly won the deputy chariot."

"I heard that Wang Lun of Wei has always been cautious. Even if the assassin can settle in Guanzhong, it is not easy to find opportunities. Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, he should still make more preparations. The blade of the assassin in Shu must not only aim at Wang Lun of Wei, but also aim at the generals under his command! The general is the courage of the three armies. The general will die and take away the army's aura!"

Gongsun Shu nodded: "Who can you stab at me in your opinion?"

Thinking of Cen Peng and other miscellaneous generals, it is naturally not worth spending money. Jing Han's eyes were only staring at the heavy generals of Wei State.

Jing Han said: "There is a man who is the same county party as Your Majesty, but Wei Di Lun is the right-hand man and a general of the front line. If Wei waited for an opportunity to kill him when Wei attacked Longyou, the Wei army would be in great trouble."

"And I have also inquired about it. He is loyal and approachable. If the dead soldiers pretend to be heroes who seek flock to you, they may find an opportunity!"

...

The towering Qiong (qióng) Lai Mountain was later called "Siguniang Mountain". It is the snow-capped mountain closest to the Chengdu Plain. It lives on the tribes of Baima Qiang and Di, with beautiful scenery. The plants and trees in April of summer are still not all green. There are many deep gullies between the snow-capped mountains on the silver top. This is also a place where Jing Han raises dead soldiers for Gongsun Shuyin.

When Jing Han was ordered to return to Qionglai Mountain in late April, when he arrived at the "Hunter Peak", he happened to see an amazing scene: young dead soldiers climbed up the towering peak, then stood on a prominent "Eagle Beak Rock" and prepared to line up and jump off.

This is a way to exercise courage. As long as you have faith in your heart to be loyal to Emperor Gongsun, you will fall into the deep water without any damage. If you retreat and fear, you will be shaken to death, even if you don’t fall on the stone beach and fall to pieces, you will be shaken to death by the water surface!

Jing Han's eyes fell on a sturdy figure, but he saw him skillfully spread his arms and jumping down towards the pool water below!

There are eagles flying in the sky, and the dead man also falls vertically like a hawk prey on prey. If you listen carefully, there seems to be a long eagle sound in your ears!

As the man plopped into the water, he poked his head out of the water for a while, winning the cheers of the brothers on the mountain and down the mountain - although he was not related by blood, they were asked to be brothers.

Jing Han smiled. There were 200 dead soldiers here at first, all of whom were orphans whose parents were killed because of the war in Xinmang. Emperor Gongsun needed such people because those who care about their family members would not have the determination to be determined.

Two hundred orphans were trained in the Qionglai Mountains, with frequent casualties, and the remaining dozens were as hard as iron, making them sharpened all day long, making them agile, especially when climbing.

After completing the first stage of training, they were taken to the prosperous Chengdu. Jing Han asked them to find a way to survive for three days without any penny.

It's okay to steal, rob, or cheat, anyway, the only requirement is...

"Don't be caught!"

Once arrested, the dead soldier will lose his value. Even if he is lucky enough to be beaten to death, he will have to be used as an ordinary soldier.

In the end, there were only a few dozen people who passed the pass, and they were already able to enter the sea like fish in the city. From climbing the walls to climbing one of the bird's-eye points in the city, they were all quite skillful.

Every dead soldier is like the sharp arrows carefully cultivated by Gongsun Shu and Jing Han. Once the time is ripe, they will shoot at Emperor Gongsun's enemies.

In Suli, Jing Han would also instill in them the kindness of Gongsun Shu and teach them the belief that the Warring States scholars "will believe in their words, and believe in their faith, and they will be sincere in their promises, and they will not love their drives, and they will be trapped by the soldiers, and they will be alive and die."

"The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves!"

When they have no goal, they have to spend years practicing how to kill. Fighting skills are basic. These dead men like a variety of weapons: from short swords hidden in their sleeves to axes, broken spears, etc., with the purpose of killing one blow.

Today, the young assassin who was most skilled in jumping showed Jing Han the new weapon he invented.

Just a light stroke under his feet, a sharp blade appeared from the sole of the boot. As the young man suddenly flew up, he cut a branch into two pieces!

"What is this?" Jing Han asked, touching the smooth section of the branches.

"This is the blade of the boot." The young assassin named "Shao Yun" said proudly.

Like Jiang Zuomei, who was sent to assassinate the King of Wei, Shao Yun was also the best among Gongsun Death Soldiers and the candidate for Jing Han to choose to execute the person.

When I heard that it was my turn, the assassin who had been brainwashed and was willing to die for Emperor Gongsun at any time, had no fear in his eyes, but instead asked expectantly: "Who does Emperor Gongsun want the villain to kill?"

Jing Han said that name.

"General Wei Zuo, Wan Xiu!"
