After negotiating with the soldiers from the Jiudaowan Barracks, the soldier took Zhao Yuan and six other chefs to a barracks. He motioned for everyone to change into ordinary people's clothes. After the arrangements were made, the soldier threw Zhao Yuan and others into the barracks.
Don't care about the outside world.
After coming out of the barracks, Zhao Yuan found that some people had also changed their clothes. The clothes were the same as theirs, and they were the clothes of herdsmen.
Zhao Yuan was placed next to a strong horse. Zhao Yuan discovered that everyone had a strong horse beside them.
When the people were approaching, Zhao Yuan felt the tense atmosphere. The soldiers held their breath, as if they were listening to something.
Just when Zhao Yuan was making random guesses, suddenly, a stormy sound of horse hooves came from outside Heishui City. The sound of horse hooves was particularly deafening at this time when the people were approaching, and the entire Heishui City seemed to be shaking.
"Let's go!" In the darkness, a short and capable soldier shouted and immediately got on his horse.
"Follow up."
A soldier whispered to Zhao Yuan and several cooks.
"Yes, yes."
Zhao Yuan and several chefs got on their horses and followed the group of soldiers out of Blackwater City. When they just left the gate of Blackwater City, thousands of elite cavalry rushed in like a tide from outside the canyon.
Seeing the black cavalry rushing towards him with murderous intent, Zhao Yuan was frightened even though he was brave, and a group of chefs were even more frightened.
A strange scene appeared. When the overwhelming cavalry approached them, they suddenly leaned to one side, making way for them to make a narrow passage and passed them by.
"Speed up!"
The thin and capable man urged, and immediately, a group of soldiers and cooks disguised as herdsmen galloped towards the grassland outside the canyon. Zhao Yuan and several cooks quickly followed.
Everyone ran non-stop for a hundred miles until the sun was high.
While the horse was galloping, Zhao Yuan had already figured out the structure of this group of people, including him and six chefs, the total number of people was thirty-two. The capable little man was a soldier and the leader, and was called "Brother Yun"
”.
Everyone found a bush to shelter from the wind to rest. Several cooks immediately collected dry grass and dead branches and prepared to light a fire for cooking, but they were stopped by the capable little soldier.
"What are you doing?" The short and capable soldier looked at the chefs with a puzzled look.
"Master Jun, let's cook!" Little Fatty Jin said with a flattering look on his face.
"Cooking! What to cook?" The soldier was stunned.
"You called us here, aren't we just going to cook for you?" Little Fatty Jin also looked confused.
"Are you a chef?" The short and capable soldier suddenly woke up and asked.
"Yes, we are both chefs."
"…cook…cook…"
The short and capable soldier had a stern look on his face, but he suddenly woke up and immediately had a nervous breakdown. He sat on the ground with a dazed look on his face. After a while, the soldier came to his senses, called everyone together, and asked each one for details.
identity.
Among the thirty-two people, except Zhao Yuan, who is a reservist, the others are regular soldiers. However, the difference is that they are not well-trained combatants, but are engaged in various jobs in the army.
I don't even know why they were summoned to Blackwater City.
After figuring out their respective identities, the short and capable soldier was in a daze for a while, with a look of dismay on his face.
Then, the short and capable soldier told everyone about the mission.
Assassinated King Zuo Xian, the arm of Chanyu, the slave slave.
Everyone was stunned at first, then became restless and clamored to go back.
Zhao Yuan could only smile bitterly. He originally thought that the worst plan would be to be sent to a recruit training camp. He never dreamed that they would be sent directly to enemy lines to carry out an assassination mission. There is no doubt that this is a suicide attempt.
Assassination operation.
"Quiet." The short and capable soldier raised his arms with a serious expression.
The noisy crowd fell silent.
The short and capable soldier began to tell the story of the assassination operation.
This assassination operation is called "Operation Heavy Hammer", which means that it will deal a heavy blow to the local area, because King Zuo Xian is the main war faction of assassinating slaves. If King Zuo Xian is assassinated, Blackwater City is likely to avoid military disaster.
This plan had been put forward in detail a few months ago, with elites selected from several military camps to carry out assassination operations, and then commanded by a capable man code-named "Brother Yun".
Because the grassland and desert area is vast, in order not to leak the news when executing "Operation Heavy Hammer", and the distance is long, the elites have enough time to get used to each other. Therefore, except for Brother Yun, the elite team members all left Blackwater City.
I don't know about the assassination mission.
Similarly, in order to keep the secret strictly, Brother Yun did not have any contact with the selected elites.
In order to keep the secret secret, when the assassination team went deep into the grassland, Heishui City sent thousands of elite cavalry to clear the area dozens of miles outside Heishui City, driving away all the spies and herdsmen.
"Brother Yun, I'm just a chef, I want to go home!" Jin Xiaopang was the first to object.
"I also want to go home, but if we go back now, I believe that our heads will be hung on the city gate at noon tomorrow." Brother Yun said with a bitter smile.
"ah……"
A group of people suddenly looked at each other.
"Strictly speaking, you are all regular soldiers. As long as you violate discipline when performing tasks, you will be imprisoned for a long time even if you are not sentenced to death. Here, the only one who can leave is Xiao Zhao, because,
He is a reservist and is not qualified to carry out military operations."
"Zhao Yuan, you are the only one who can go home. Did you do it on purpose?" Jin Xiaopang looked at Zhao Yuan with a look of jealousy.
"That's right, Zhao Yuan, did you deliberately frame us?" Several other chefs condemned Zhao Yuan in unison.
"Everyone, what's the point of arguing about this now? The most important thing now is to find a way to complete the mission and return home safely." Zhao Yuan said calmly.
"Complete the mission..."
"Get home safe!"
"Boy, the person we want to assassinate is King Zuo Xian, a lunatic and war madman who assassinated slaves."
"..."
After hearing Zhao Yuan's words, everyone suddenly burst into laughter and began to argue passionately.
"Brother Yun, what do you think?" Zhao Yuan looked at Brother Yun.
"I racked my brains and prepared for this plan for several months, but I never expected that it would fall short at the last moment... It seems that the discord between the Great Hammer God and the higher-ups is not groundless..." Brother Yun looked frustrated.
"Brother Yun, does the army advocate war or peace?" Zhao Yuan suddenly became a little confused. Judging from this operation, the army planned this operation to eliminate King Zuo Xian, who was the leader of the assassination slave war, so as to achieve the goal of peace.
.However, it seems that there is another force that is restraining the army's decision. Although it approved the operation, it interfered with it and caused the assassination operation to fail, thereby achieving the purpose of the war.
It seems that the forces behind the scenes want war to happen more.
"I don't know about this, but the general once said that the Qin Empire is not suitable for the use of troops due to natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, and precarious conditions." Brother Yun shook his head.
"Yes."
Zhao Yuan secretly admired that he was indeed a worthy man despite his great reputation. The Great Hammer God was far-sighted and was not a brave person.
The Qin Empire seems to be strong and strong, but last year's famine showed that the empire was about to collapse. If a large-scale war breaks out, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction that will be out of control.
