It is named after Jiqiu in the city. It is a metropolis between the Bohai Sea and Jieshi. It is adjacent to Qi and Zhao in the south and Bianhu in the northeast. There are fish, salt, dates and chestnuts. It is the most important city in the entire Northeast Asia Corridor.
In ancient times, this was where the Ji Kingdom was established by the descendants of Emperor Yao.
When King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty praised and granted it, and the Ji Kingdom became the "country of guest service" of the Zhou Dynasty.
During the reign of King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty, Duke Zhao's Yuanzi Yanhou Ke was enfeoffed to Yanbo near Liuli River and took control of the local Yin survivors. Yan and Ji lived next to each other.
Later, when Yan was strong and Ji was weak, the Yan State unceremoniously destroyed Ji State and turned its capital Ji into its own capital.
Today, the Yan State, which was once powerful in Northeast Asia, has reached the end of its rope.
Outside Jicheng, the sound was overwhelming.
The Qin army from Guanzhong in the west set up military camps outside the city. The fluttering black flags formed a soaring black dragon from a distance, surrounding Jicheng with fangs and claws. Just waiting for a military order, these eight
The state of Yan was torn into pieces for hundreds of years.
Qin's 100,000-strong army, plus tens of thousands of prisoners and garrison soldiers transporting grain and fodder, were stationed around Jicheng, surrounding this ancient city.
Li Xin's troops were stationed in the east of Jicheng, blocking the road leading to the east from Jicheng.
After setting up the military tent, they began to divide the defense areas of the various soldiers.
Zhao Tuo received the summoning order from Lord Five Hundred, straightened his clothes and walked into a tent.
Seeing someone come in, the people sitting inside stopped talking and looked at each other.
"You guys are so early."
Zhao Tuo smiled and said hello to the other four people.
"Um."
"It's not too late for Zhao Bai to come."
The four short-term soldiers in the camp responded vaguely, and the eldest among them didn't even bother to nod his head, directly ignoring Zhao Tuo's greetings.
Zhao Tuo was not angry about this and walked aside to find a seat to sit down.
The four short-handed generals in this camp are all his colleagues, and they all work together under the same commander.
Among them, the youngest general is in his twenties, and the oldest one is almost forty.
And because Li Xin was born in Longxi and liked to recruit local people, the four generals were all from Longxi, and they had already formed a small group among themselves.
Zhao Tuo, on the other hand, was not crowned in 1999 and came from Zhao.
Whether in terms of age or place of origin, Zhao Tuo was very different from the other four, so they were very disdainful of Zhao Tuo's joining, and simply looked down on this boy who didn't even have hair.
Some of them may even be jealous. After all, they fought hard on the battlefield for more than ten years before being promoted to a certain title, and finally became the general's short-hand bodyguard.
And a teenage boy became equal to them in the blink of an eye. No one would be mentally balanced, let alone everyone rumored that this boy was recruited by General Li himself. This unique favor is even more impressive.
Jealous.
Since he was ostracized, Zhao Tuo would not be shameless enough to talk to them. He only maintained superficial friendship and there was silence in the tent.
Finally, a steady sound of footsteps sounded.
A burly and muscular Qin general walked in. He had big eyes, thick eyebrows, and a short beard under his chin. He was about twenty-six or seventeen years old.
"I've seen the superior."
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 their group. So even the oldest Hundred Generals have to submit.
"Well, our department is responsible for guarding..."
The Five Hundred Lord's voice was low but very powerful. He started to get into the theme as soon as he came in and arranged everyone's defense zones in a matter of seconds.
"Just wait. General Zhao Tuo will stay."
"only."
All the generals resigned, and before they left, they all stared at Zhao Tuo with envy and jealousy.
Not only General Li Xin, but also their superior, the Five Hundred Generals, seemed to have special treatment for this young Hundred Generals.
After the four hundred generals came out of the tent, tranquility returned to the tent.
Zhao Tuo twitched the corner of his mouth, cupped his hands to Lord Five Hundred and said, "What are your orders, sir?"
The Five Hundred Lord touched the short beard under his chin and looked at Zhao Tuo with a half-smile: "Nothing, I'm just curious about how you went from being an assassin's charioteer and charioteer of the Yan Kingdom to becoming a charioteer of our Qin Kingdom in the blink of an eye."
I didn’t replace hundreds of generals, and I was specially recruited by General Li to join the short-range army.”
Hearing the other party reveal his true identity, Zhao Tuo had a wry smile on his face.
This is really a coincidence.
Zhao Tuo's superior, Lord Five Hundred, who was transferred to the short-term soldiers, turned out to be a person who had met him once and knew his past identity.
Su Jiao.
When Jing Ke entered Qin, Wang Jian sent an elite cavalry to escort him all the way to Hangu Pass. The commander of the cavalry was Su Jiao in front of him.
He was once a cavalry general. After many battles, he was promoted to a higher rank and was appointed as the master of five hundred short-term soldiers.
When Zhao Tuo first reported for duty, he was startled. Fortunately, the army was about to leave at that time and military affairs were busy, so Su Jiao didn't look strange and even looked like he didn't recognize Zhao Tuo, which made Zhao Tuo breathe a sigh of relief.
But unfortunately, I can avoid the first day of the junior high school, but I can't avoid the fifteenth day. The inquiries that should come still come.
Zhao Tuo hesitated for a moment and said: "I am not from Yan, and I was also coerced by the assassin at that time, so..."
"I understand, it's just 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, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp. He glared at Zhao Tuo and said, "I don't care where you were from before, or what you did before. But when you get to this short barracks, you will
I listen to orders seriously and obey with all my heart. If I find out that you have other thoughts, I will punish you without mercy!"
Su Jiao's voice was cold, with an undisguised threat.
Zhao Tuo was horrified and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Wei."
Seeing Zhao Tuo's respectful response, Su Jiao said: "Go down and follow the military order just now."
Zhao Tuo quickly agreed and then withdrew from the account.
After leaving the camp, Zhao Tuo let out a sigh of relief.
Good guy, the next few days don't look good.
Four colleagues ostracized him, and his direct superior even threatened him. Zhao Tuo could only be more cautious in the future and never be singled out for mistakes.
After he returned, he also conveyed the defense task to his soldiers.
Among them, Zhao Tuo, who had a title of nobility above Shejian, was appointed as the commander of the village, in charge of fifty soldiers.
The chief of another village is Guo Guang, who is about thirty years old and holds the title of third-level hairpin.
Guo Guang is the only one among the hundred people with a hairpin title, and he was also the original chief of the village, so Zhao Tuo really couldn't replace him, so he could only make do with him. Fortunately, although this man is taciturn,
But still obedient.
Not long after Zhao Tuo made arrangements for military affairs.
The Qin army launched a tentative attack on Jicheng.
