In the cave, Zhang Han looked at Han Xin, who looked calm, and said with emotion, "I just slept for a while, and you made Daze Mountain change."
"Did I do something wrong?" Han Xin asked with an innocent face.
Zhang Han pursed his lips and smiled, "I can only say that I don't admit that it is right."
As a loyal imperial general, Zhang Han certainly could not admit that the defeat of the imperial army was a good thing.
Han Xin also smiled back, "I'm just following orders."
"Well...I don't deny it, but you are trying too hard." Zhang Han responded tactfully.
"It's not a bad thing to work harder." Han Xin responded calmly, and then changed the subject, "General, it's time to save people next."
"Save Wang Li?" Zhang Han asked.
"At present, it seems that he is the only one in the entire Daze Mountain who needs rescue." Han Xin shrugged and replied.
After the battle at Daze Mountain, Wang Li was like Yun Zhongjun in the mirage, humiliated, heartbroken, and in decline.
Zhang Han was not in a hurry to discuss this topic and asked instead, "Did you really drown Wang Li?"
When he said this, Zhang Han looked a little nervous.
The most talked-about classic battle of Tongwuhou Wang Bi was the battle to destroy Wei.
Zhang Han happened to experience the most critical battle in the war to destroy Wei that year - the Battle of Daliang.
If he remembered correctly, when facing Daliang, the strongest city in the Central Plains, Wang Bi's response plan was also flooded, but he gave up halfway because of Gu Xun's intervention.
Now things are changing, Wang Ben's son is trying to be a private player, but the opponent is flooded...
In the eyes of others, this was just a humiliating defeat for Wang Li, but in the eyes of Zhang Han, it actually brought a little extra humor.
Han Xin didn't understand Zhang Han's thoughts, so he responded humbly, "It's just a little water. The Equinox Stream is just a small river."
If the water hadn't been small enough, Han Xin might not have dared to flood Wangli.
After all, he is Wang Jian's direct grandson and Wang Ben's biological son. In terms of status and honor, there are few people in the world who can compare with him.
After the defeat, Wang Li went back to be punished, but if he died directly in Daze Mountain, then just wait for Ying Zheng to mobilize his troops and level Daze Mountain for you.
There may be people in this world who dare to kill Wang Li, but Han Xin doesn't dare, and no one in Daze Mountain dares.
I dare not kill, and I cannot kill.
The amount of water that can be accumulated in the upper reaches of the Equinox River is very limited. It can overwhelm the formation of armor-piercing soldiers, but it may not drown everyone. Wang Li still has martial arts, so he will not be drowned casually no matter what.
die.
According to Han Xin's estimate, at most one-third of the soldiers would be killed directly by the water flow, and the vast majority could still save their lives.
"Hmm..." Zhang Han nodded and ignored Shui Xiaobu's question.
The shameful thing about this incident is that Wang Ben's son was flooded. As for the exact size of the water, that is not important.
"You asked me to save Wang Li because you think the relationship between him and Luo Wang needs to be verified?"
"No." Han Xin shook his head, "Judging from the ambush at Zuimenglou against you, General, Wang Li must have moved closer to the trap. It's just a matter of degree."
"As for why he was saved...the general should know very well that he cannot die."
"Indeed, he cannot die no matter what." Zhang Han nodded in agreement, "Once something happens to him, the emperor will be furious, and the entire Daze Mountain will be destroyed by the empire."
"So the general is going to save him, and at the same time, he has to remind him to regain his sanity." Han Xin nodded and replied.
"Reason...are you worried?" Zhang Han raised his eyebrows and asked.
Han Xin spread his hands and said, "With Wang Li's background and character, he has suffered such a big loss. It's hard for me to believe that his reason can still control his brain."
Overall, after this battle, the armor-piercing soldiers' troop losses were not so severe that they were still able to fight against the peasants.
However, the camp was destroyed, the food, grass and baggage, and all the weapons and equipment were lost, so that the armor-piercing soldiers actually lost the ability to continue fighting.
But if he had to fight, it wasn't that Wang Li couldn't bite the bullet and continue the fight, but the sensible thing to do was to stop there.
This war was never approved by Ying Zheng from beginning to end.
If he wins the battle, everyone will naturally be happy and live in peace, but if he loses... Wang Li needs to give Xianyang an explanation first and see Xianyang's attitude.
It is a taboo to use weapons rashly. Yingzheng's acquiescence is also his acquiescence that you will win, not that you will lose.
But if Wang Li loses his mind and insists on continuing to fight with the farmer, the consequences will be difficult to predict.
The current situation of the empire is very special. There is a war on the northern and southern fronts, and the war on both sides is not going particularly well. The interior is unprecedentedly empty, so Yingzheng needs an additional eastward patrol to stabilize the situation.
In addition, the emperor paid special attention to the mirage's voyage.
The combination of various circumstances will force Ying Zheng to maintain a certain degree of restraint and temporarily tolerate the farmers who have shown considerable strength.
But this is built on a certain level of balance.
The current level is enough to achieve a balance. If the war continues, it will break the balance and possibly completely anger Ying Zheng.
The empire is very weak, but no matter how weak it is, it is still difficult to attack a peasant family. It just depends on whether Yingzheng is willing to further sacrifice the stability of some areas.
Han Xin asked Zhang Han to rescue Wang Li, in fact, just to find someone to watch over Wang Li's madness - in the entire Daze Mountain, only Zhang Han could do this, and his status and position were suitable.
"Well..." Zhang Han nodded slightly, "Indeed... I really should go see Wang Li again."
"Everything is over, it's time for me to leave." Han Xin saluted Zhang Han, turned around and walked out of the cave.
His identity is very special. He must leave Daze Mountain as soon as the war is over to avoid being talked about.
Of course, even so, there are still a large number of insiders who need to be silenced.
Fortunately, this is not difficult, and he has very reliable helpers.
When Han Xin was about to leave, Zhang Han asked again, "Wait a minute... I want to ask about the eldest lady Tian Yan."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Xin turned around and remained silent, silently waiting for Zhang Han to ask questions.
"She...really plans to cooperate with Luo Wang?" Zhang Han asked after carefully considering his words.
Han Xin thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's better for the general to ask someone who is truly qualified to ask about her."
"What the purpose of the eldest lady is may not be directly related to what we should do."
Without Gu Xun's permission, you definitely can't rashly confront someone's daughter, otherwise what if the head of the family agrees?
Similarly, without Gu Xun's permission, you definitely can't follow her rashly, for the same reason as above.
"...You're right." Zhang Han nodded, holding his forehead as he felt a headache.
Of course, he also knew that it was best to consult Gu Xun personally for matters involving Gu Xun's immediate relatives and friends, but this was not a condition that did not allow it.
Moreover, Zhang Hanyuan knew Gu Xun better than Han Xin, so he knew very well that Gu Xun might not be able to give him clear enough instructions on this matter - this was always the case with the Imperial Master.
Seeing that he had no problem, Han Xin shrugged, turned around and left.
After leaving the cave, Han Xin looked up at the sky.
At this time, the morning light is faint, the morning sun is breaking, and the sun is rising.
A new day has truly arrived.
After Han Xin walked not far along the mountain forest, Tian Zhong walked out of the forest.
He followed Han Xin all the time, except when Han Xin went to meet Zhang Han, he did not follow him.
There were too many big bosses there that he couldn't afford to offend, so he didn't dare to get involved.
Now that there is no one around, he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.
Tian Yan's order to him was to keep an eye on Han Xin and not let him take action against Han Xin, but if there was any emergency, such as Han Xin trying to escape, he would definitely be able to make a decisive move when the opportunity arose.
Although this kind of situation has not happened yet, Tian Zhong has already planned to take action.
To be precise, from the moment he got the order, he had no intention of letting Han Xin live to meet Tian Yan again.
Because he discovered something, a very fatal thing - Han Xin helped him pass the news to Bai Tu.
To be honest, he didn't understand why this kind of thing happened to Han Xin, a newbie who had just joined.
When he found out about this situation, he wanted to strangle to death his subordinates who were doing outsourcing without his back.
But no matter what, things have happened, and he must settle things.
There are only two solutions, one is to bribe Han Xin and turn him into a real one of our own, the other is to silence him so that he can't speak.
Without trying the former, Tian Zhong felt that the chance of success was low, so he directly chose the second.
The task Tian Yan gave him this time became an excellent opportunity.
As long as he kills him, he can fool him by finding any excuse.
He could see that Tian Yan, and even Situ Wanli and Tian Hu distrusted Han Xin, and the risk of getting rid of such a person would not be too great.
And now he has a legitimate reason - Han Xin has made it clear that he has secret contacts with the Mo family, Guigu Zongheng, and even the empire.
Han Xin is indeed very valuable, but no matter how valuable a talent is, it is just a waste if it cannot be used by oneself!
Han Xin looked at Tian Zhong who stopped him, and was not surprised at all. He said calmly, "It seems that Hall Master Tian Zhong has been protecting me secretly."
"Haha..." Tian Zhong responded with a sneer, "Protection... I don't think you need my protection at all."
"You already have a stronger protective umbrella!"
"I have said before that I am just a worker." Han Xin retorted calmly, "And I never said that I only work for farmers."
"You have been using the farmer's family and the lives of tens of thousands of his disciples to help the Shadow Guard deal with Luo Sheng!"
"What high-ranking official and generous salary did Zhang Han promise to you?"
Han Xin looked at him and corrected him without saltiness, "The casualties of the imperial soldiers are still higher than those of farmers. This is not a good way to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries."
"Hmph! Who knows what deal you made with them!" Tian Zhong ignored the other party's explanation and decided to fasten the shit basin first.
Han Xin heard this and emphasized, "I must declare again that I joined the peasant family. I am indeed a disciple of the peasant family. I have not betrayed the peasant family."
"Stop talking about these high-sounding nonsense!" Tian Zhong approached Han Xin unceremoniously and scolded angrily, "You were always eating and drinking when you were in Gonggongtang. Do you think I don't know?"
"Strictly speaking, we are each other." Han Xin replied, tilting his head.
This sentence clearly made it clear that he knew that Tian Zhong was a lackey in the trap.
After hearing this, Tian Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
Of course it's a good thing that the boots finally hit the ground. Anyway, he can silence him immediately without fear of being exposed.
"Hahahaha... You look smart, but you are actually an out-and-out idiot."
"Knowing so much, you are still unwilling to accept the position of leader of Lieshan Hall promised by Xia Kui... From that moment on, you are a dead person!"
As he spoke, Tian Zhong's hand was already on his dagger, ready to take action at any time.
Han Xin glanced at his dagger and asked, "Master Tian Zhong plans to attack me?"
"You have taken refuge in the Shadow Guards and betrayed the farm family. No matter as the leader of Gonggong Hall or as a member of Luowang, I should kill you." Tian Zhonghuang replied with a smile.
"Alas..." Han Xin sighed softly, "I don't like fighting with others."
This sentence is true from the heart.
Tian Zhong sneered and said sarcastically, "I think your martial arts skills are poor and you can't beat anyone."
"I just don't like killing people. I have to show mercy to others."
"Forgive me... Haha, do you want to spare me now?" Tian Zhong's sharp laughter contained obvious sarcasm.
Han Xin's expression remained calm, but his tone turned cold and he replied, "I don't mind, but unfortunately... some people may not be happy."
"Oh? Who is it?" Tian Zhong was not anxious at all. He seemed to be convinced of Han Xin, and he didn't know where he got his confidence.
However, Han Xin's next answer made his expression suddenly change.
"Do you think the eldest lady doesn't know about your relationship with Luo Wang?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you think the eldest lady doesn't know about my connection with the Shadow Guard?"
"Do you think the eldest lady really asked you to keep an eye on me?"
He asked three questions in a row, which made Tian Zhong feel nervous. He didn't dare to waste any more time before drawing out his sword to kill someone.
However, Han Xin was faster than him. He passed by him in an instant, and the Yuan Rong Sword behind him was already in his hand at some point.
The moment the two people passed each other, a cold light lit up and the sword was unsheathed.
"Uh!" Tian Zhong only had time to let out a muffled groan, and his whole body froze in place.
Han Xin shook his hand and shook off the blood on Yuan Rong's matte sword, then returned it to its sheath and said lightly:
"You are honored to be the first person killed by this sword."
"Pity……"
If Tian Yan hadn't specially sent Tian Zhong to die, Han Xin really didn't want to get rid of Tian Zhong himself.
The main reason is to use Tian Zhong as the first blood of Yuan Rong Sword, which is really a bit of a loss.
"You..." After Tian Zhong uttered just one word, the dagger that had just been unsheathed in his hand fell to the ground. A large wound suddenly burst open in his abdomen, blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground and died suddenly.
Han Xin continued to walk away from here as if nothing had happened.
After he left, Wei, Zhuang, Gai and Nie quietly appeared from the side.
Looking at Tian Zhong's body on the ground, Gai Nie sincerely praised, "What a swordsman!"
Wei Zhuang turned to glance at his senior brother and asked, "Do you know his martial arts style?"
Gai Nie hesitated for a moment and then shook his head, "There's only one move, I can't see it clearly, but...it seems a bit familiar."
The fact that Gai Nie can only feel familiar but unable to remember the source indicates that the source of this sense of familiarity is relatively unfamiliar to Gai Nie, and it is likely that he only has a one-time relationship with it.
