Wang Jian was not a fool. He thought about it for a moment and realized that the information was wrong.
After reading the information carefully again, I found that there was no order to keep one's words strictly, and it became clear to me.
It was normal for Wang Jian to be notified of this matter. After all, Wang Jian was the top general of the Qin State and he was on the front line. Only by informing Wang Jian could the troops be prepared to face the enemy.
However, it would be abnormal if the order does not include "keep your mouth strictly shut".
In addition, the envoy of the State of Yan is still in prison, even if another group of envoys of the State of Yan were to assassinate him...according to the date, Ying Zheng received a warning from Wang Jian before meeting the envoy, how could his assassination be successful?!
Then Wang Jian immediately called Yang Duanhe.
Before Yang Duanhe could speak, Wang Jian sighed heavily and said:
"General Yang, something bad is happening!"
"The king was assassinated by envoys from the State of Yan. At this time, he was seriously injured and his life and death were unknown."
Yang Duanhe was shocked. Then he saw that Wang Jian looked a little strange and immediately understood what was going on. He knelt down in the direction of Xianyang with a sad face and shouted in a trembling voice:
"King!"
Wang Jian sighed again and said:
"This is a military secret and must not be known to outsiders!"
"We need to secretly take the food protection soldiers back into the city to prepare for the enemy. We still need to continue farming as usual. Do you understand?"
Yang Duanhe nodded understandingly and replied: "Understood!"
After Yang Duanhe returned to his tent, he summoned his generals and sighed:
"Let me tell you a secret. You must not let outsiders know..."
…
Soon, the secret reached Shen Bing, and there were several more versions:
"The king was stabbed in the chest and is in critical condition."
"It is said that the king was injured by the poisonous snake hidden in the sleeves of the Yanshi. The Yanshi was also hateful..."
"Nonsense, it's obviously a hidden weapon hidden in the boot..."
…
In ancient times, information had to be passed down by word of mouth, and usually it only took a few mouths for the message to change, let alone an army of more than 100,000 people.
So there are all kinds of strange theories.
When Ren and other insiders heard the news, they were naturally confused as to what was going on.
But they have been warned before and others are watching, so they dare not say anything...
The Qin army's joint sitting system is no joke. Five people are organized into a book to supervise each other. Anyone who dares to break the rules will be punished immediately.
Shen Bing immediately understood that this was Ying Zheng's trick.
Not bad, you can actually think of this method?
First of all, you can find out who wants to kill Ying Zheng.
Although this is not important, because regardless of whether there is an assassination or not, the Yan Kingdom will be destroyed.
But there is still a possibility: someone bribed the envoys of the Yan State to assassinate Ying Zheng and then framed the Yan State.
Even the State of Yan could use this as an excuse to push this matter away.
But if Ying Zheng comes with such a move, Yan State will certainly take action.
Then... I couldn't argue anymore.
Secondly, by doing so, you can also seize the initiative in the war.
This initiative does not mean taking the initiative to attack, but waiting for Yan to launch an attack...
At this time, the Qin army was short of troops and food.
If Ying Zheng was furious and revolted, he would then order the Qin army to go north to attack Yan.
This is to extend the front line too long, allowing the Wei State in the hinterland to take advantage of it.
Second, we need more food to go north.
Third, winter is coming, and it will be extremely cold to go north to fight in Yan State, and it will be even more uncomfortable if we attack the city.
So why not wait for Yan to attack?
You must know that the Yan State attacked Zhao with five times its strength, but Zhao State was defeated and returned.
How could Qin be afraid of Yan's attack at this time?
But there are dangers:
For example, if the four countries listened to the words of Yan and really united to attack Qin, these three counties would still not be able to defend it.
But this is a small probability event.
Even if the four kingdoms really gathered their forces to attack Qin... they would just think that Ying Zheng was dead and they would take advantage of it.
At that time, as long as Ying Zheng stands in front of everyone, several countries will be frightened and go home immediately.
What a brilliant idea indeed!
In one fell swoop, he not only avenged his assassination, but also used it to further weaken the strength of the Yan State and prepare for its destruction.
This Ying Zheng was no ordinary person, no wonder he was able to unify the six kingdoms and became the First Emperor.
Sure enough, just as Shen Bing thought, the news soon reached Ji Dana from the spies of Yan State.
Ji Dan, who was in a state of anxiety, jumped up from the front of the case with excitement when he heard the news that Ying Zheng was injured, and shouted:
"The big deal has happened, Ying Zheng's son finally died in my hands!"
At this moment, Ji Dan felt so happy.
Look at you, Ying Zheng, looking down on others and not taking me seriously!
See, you are still trying to burn bridges and humiliate me in every possible way!
I see you are still majestic and arrogant...
So what now?
Shouldn’t it become a corpse and be eliminated by history?
Ji Dan was so happy that he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and then immediately took the information to meet Yan Wangxi.
"Father!" After Ji Dan entered the palace, he couldn't wait to say to King Yan: "The big thing is done!"
At this time, King Xi of Yan had forgotten about the assassination of Qin. Hearing Ji Dan's words, he was still confused and didn't know what it was about, so he asked:
"What big thing happened?"
At this time, Ji Dan was no longer afraid of others knowing, he even wanted everyone in the world to know.
Because Ji Dan is now a hero, he can use this momentum to come forward to organize the alliance.
So Ji Dan proudly raised the information in his hand and answered:
"Ying Zheng is dead, and the Yan Kingdom's serious trouble has been eliminated!"
King Yan was so frightened that he almost fell off the throne. The singers and maids around him also changed their expressions.
Although King Yan had heard Ji Dan talk about this plan before, he thought it would not happen so soon and even thought Ji Dan was just talking about it.
I didn’t expect...this kid would actually be serious?
And, did you succeed?
King Yan couldn't believe it, so he asked, "Is Ying Zheng really dead?"
Ji Dan handed the information to Yan Wangxi and said:
“Of course it’s true!”
"These are the news we learned from Handan."
"Everyone in the Qin army is in danger and panic. This is a great opportunity for us to join forces and destroy Qin!"
…
Ji Dan's ideal is very beautiful.
He hoped to become the leader of the four countries through this, so that the Yan country could also become a powerful country.
King Yan looked through the information, but still had some doubts:
"But... why did it just say that Ying Zheng was injured?"
"And there are multiple explanations?"
…
Ji Dan replied proudly:
"Father, I don't know something."
"The short blade I used to assassinate Ying Zheng was quenched with highly toxic poison. Even if it cuts the skin, there is no cure."
"Then Ying Zhengding has been dead for a long time."
"But because it was kept secret, only a little bit of news was leaked, which led to various speculations among the soldiers!"
King Yan nodded in agreement.
This analysis is quite reasonable, and this will indeed happen if Ying Zheng dies.
From this we can also understand Ying Zheng's scheming, he deliberately said "wounded" instead of "died".
