Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

King Qin Zheng died.

After all, he was unable to block the fatal blow from Tian Guang, a master of the third level of mythology.

Qin Wangzheng's talent is actually very high. Without showing off, he has already reached the second level of mythical strength. He also possesses good swordsmanship. He also inspired the power of the military formation at critical moments, and secretly mobilized the fate of the country and the fate of the country. defend with the strength of military formations.

However, his reaction was still a little slow after all. Although the power of the military formation blocked most of the attacks, his skin was already scratched a little by Tian Guang's poisonous poison before the power of the military formation protected him.

Just this little injury could kill him.

As for the poisonous poison, Arita Hikaru had accumulated the toxins he had accumulated over the past four years in a place full of poisonous miasma, trying hundreds of herbs and poisons.

These toxins are extremely poisonous after being blessed by poisonous poison, Tian Guang's internal power, blood, etc.

It was extremely difficult for Qin Wangzheng to maintain his final dignity without losing his composure in the court.

Xia Wuqi, a famous doctor in the Qin State, tried his best to make the Qin king's government shine again.

At the moment when he looked back, Qin Wangzheng felt countless regrets in his heart, but as an emperor, he seized the last opportunity and issued a testament in front of Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei, and the eunuch: "After my death... Let the king's younger brother Cheng Xi... inherit the throne and respect the Queen Mother Zhao as... the legitimate mother... to take charge of the government, and the prime minister Lu Buwei to assist the government..."

Of course he still remembered that he had a son, but how could his infant son be able to control the situation?

In such a situation, Da Qin must have an emperor who can grow up as soon as possible to succeed him, otherwise, Da Qin will be in danger!

Qin Wangzheng is very calm.

Just as calm as when he wanted to seize Zhao Ji's power and marginalize Zhao Ji.

"What about Fusu?"

Zhao Ji grabbed Ying Zheng's hand.

She did not expect that her son's last edict before his death would be this, which was inconsistent with the task assigned to her by the master.

The master's mission must be completed!

Zhao Ji was very anxious, more anxious than her son's death.

However, Qin Wangzheng did not answer her, but closed his eyes forever.

Before he died, Qin Wangzheng seemed to have seen that he had conquered a huge empire, ruled the world, and called himself the First Emperor. The stars, the sea, the heavens and the world all surrendered to him...

【First Emperor? emperor? 】

At the last moment, Qin Wangzheng seemed to realize something.

At the same time, outside the endless time and space, a certain emperor standing in the center of the endless battlefield was suddenly stunned, the corners of his mouth curved, and he whispered: "It's a bit interesting..."

As soon as Qin Wangzheng died, the atmosphere in Qin Wangzheng's palace became strange.

The eunuch ordered to leave the palace with the imperial edict in hand, but was stopped by Zhao Ji.

"The eunuch is about to leave in a hurry. What's the matter?"

Zhao Ji said coldly.

The master's mission has not been completed yet, how could he let the eunuch holding the edict leave like this?

"The Queen Mother will naturally announce the late king's edict to all civil and military officials!"

The eunuch's heart froze, and he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but he still spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

The eunuch order system is only loyal to the King of Qin. It is a death guard specially trained by the king of Qin in the past. Each eunuch order has at least a third-level mythological cultivation level. They stay with the king day and night. There are also a large number of second-level mythical and first-level mythical soldiers under his command. 's subordinates.

The eunuch order and the secret guard army were also important reasons why Dong Huang gave up the idea of ​​using someone other than Hou Xin to assassinate the King of Qin.

Dong Huang's men were not without people who could break through their guards and assassinate the King of Qin, but under the circumstances at that time, apart from Hou Xin, there were only a few people such as Concubine Yan and Jing Salamander.

Dong Huang was not willing to let them carry out an assassination that would lead to death regardless of success.

To put it bluntly, Dong Huang still has some benevolence as a woman and regards some human lives as more important than the great cause. He is far less calm than Qin Wangzheng.

"Show me the imperial edict."

Zhao Ji stretched out her hand.

"Queen Mother, haven't you and the Prime Minister listened to the late king's last edict?"

The eunuch replied in a cold tone.

Now that the previous king is dead, he is now theoretically loyal to the new king.

The eunuch ordered to be loyal only to the King of Qin. In other words, he would be loyal to whoever was the King of Qin.

But after all, he was not just a fool's tool. He had noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he deliberately mentioned Lu Buwei in his words, hoping to test Lu Buwei's attitude.

If Lu Buwei could agree with him and adhere to the late king's edict, then a mere queen mother would not be able to stir up trouble.

To a certain extent, Qin Wangzheng's arrangement of three people to listen to the imperial edict was also well thought out. The three people could just check and balance each other and avoid the tampering of the imperial edict to the greatest extent.

However, theory is theory and practice is practice.

If the theory was so easy to use, there would be no occurrence in history of Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai tampering with the imperial edict after the death of Qin Shihuang.

Eunuch Ling's ability is not as good as Zhao Gao; Lu Buwei and Li Si are difficult to compare, but Lu Buwei is a businessman and has his own interests; as for Zhao Ji, her destructive power is comparable to Hu Hai, or even worse.

So, something interesting happened.

Regarding the eunuch's questioning, Lu Buwei chose to remain silent out of consideration for his own interests.

He wanted to see what trouble Zhao Ji was going to do.

Zhao Ji and him have different identities. If Zhao Ji turns into a monster again, she will not be punished with death. But if he makes a wrong step at this time, he will be doomed.

Moreover, from the perspective of personal interests, it is obviously more in his interest for a swaddling Fusu to be the King of Qin than for Cheng Jiao, who is already sensible and almost an adult, to be the King of Qin.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, which powerful official does not like a baby to be the emperor?

Although Lü Buwei did not leave, Zhao Ji could not help it.

Zhao Ji took a breath, snorted coldly, and asked: "My son's body is not cold yet, I, as a mother, will check whether someone has tampered with his will. Is there any problem?"

"Why, could it be that the eunuch Ling did something?"

Zhao Ji's attitude was extremely arrogant and tough.

"Queen Mother, please stop slandering me. I will pass on the order!"

The eunuch Ling turned around and wanted to leave.

He was worried that if he didn't leave, he would not be able to leave.

However, two eunuchs who came with Zhao Ji blocked the door with swords.

From the two people, the eunuch Ling felt a huge pressure.

It was a huge pressure that could kill him.

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

The eunuch Ling was furious, put the edict in his arms, and then drew his soft sword to kill the two.

At the same time, he blew a whistle to call other eunuchs under the eunuch Ling to come to the rescue.

With the blessing of his internal force, the sound spread far, far away.

He had seen that the Queen Mother Zhao obviously did not agree to let Cheng Jiao succeed to the throne. She wanted the edict, and she was probably planning to tamper with the edict!

How could this be possible!

The eunuch Ling originally wanted to hope that Prime Minister Lu Buwei could be fair, but Prime Minister Lu Buwei had an ambiguous attitude.

Sometimes, not expressing an opinion is itself a statement.

The eunuch Ling realized that if he didn't leave, he would not be able to leave.

However, the two enemies were stronger than he imagined, and they were not ordinary strong.

What the eunuch Ling didn't know was that the two people who blocked his way were one of Xu Shu's seven-orifice exquisite bodies, the former leader of Luowang, Zhen Yanri, and the other was Luowang's first killer, Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

They put on makeup and followed Zhao Ji into the palace, just in case, or even... to help Qin Wangzheng finish the job.

If these two people died because of the assassination of Ying Zheng, Dong Huang would not feel so bad.

Facing these two masters who had entered the third level of mythology for many years and were at the peak of their physical fitness, the eunuch Ling, who had less practical experience, was caught in a dilemma and soon got injured.

Seeing that the eunuch Ling was at a disadvantage, Lu Buwei finally officially stood on the side.

He mobilized his internal strength and roared: "The eunuch Ling colluded with the Zhao thief Tian Guang and others, conspired to assassinate the king and subvert the government. The matter was exposed and wanted to escape! The queen mother has ordered that whoever kills this beast will be rewarded with a thousand gold and promoted to the third rank!"

Lu Buwei's voice shocked the shadow guards who came after hearing the noise.

When it comes to playing strategy, ten Zhao Jis are not as good as one Lu Buwei.

Lü Buwei's voice will not only directly put the eunuchs in an isolated and helpless situation, but also, under the preconceived situation, even if the eunuchs announced the secret decree, it would only confirm that Cheng Jiao was the "traitor" he colluded with!

After all, this is in the Xianyang Palace. Here, if the King of Qin cannot speak, then Zhao Ji is the boss who deserves the title in legal terms. The eunuchs stand on the opposite side of Zhao Ji, which is treason!

This is also an important reason why the Shadow Secret Guards immediately remained silent. They were waiting for Zhao Ji's order.

Of course, Lü Buwei's words can only calm down for a while, after all, not everyone is a fool.

But this is enough.

As long as this critical period is passed, even if someone doubts it afterwards, it will not be a big problem.

Because Cheng Jiao is just a 13 or 14-year-old boy now. Apart from his maternal relatives, he has almost no foundation and no military power.

Now, most of the people in the court of the Qin Dynasty are Lü Buwei, Zhao Ji and Queen Mother Huayang. The tiger talisman is also in the palace now, so it is impossible for Cheng Jiao to appear there, so what is there to be afraid of?

Eunuch Ling seemed to have figured this out, and realized that he could not break through the obstruction of the two masters at the door whose martial arts were not inferior to his, so he made up his mind and rushed to Zhao Ji.

He wanted to hold Zhao Ji hostage and force her to recognize the will.

As long as Zhao Ji recognized the will and Cheng Jiao took the throne, then even if he died, he would be worthy of the Qin Dynasty.

However, just when he rushed to Zhao Ji and saw Zhao Ji's pale face and trembling legs, a sword suddenly stabbed his heart at a tricky angle behind Zhao Ji.

The one who made the move was Jing Niu who was wearing makeup.

Because of his qualifications, resources and Dong Huang's watering, Jing Niu's strength was even higher than Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Yan Ri. He did not make a move before, just to protect Zhao Ji.

Jingwei's sudden attack from a tricky angle caught the eunuch off guard.

Even though the eunuch tried his best to avoid the vitals, he still had half of his arm cut off.

At this point, the outcome was determined.

The injured eunuch was easily killed by Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Yan Ri.

The will also fell into Zhao Ji's hands.

Zhao Ji sneered and glanced at Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei felt his scalp tingling.

He was afraid that this not-so-smart woman would kill herself in a fit of anger.

As everyone knows, you can't reason with a stupid and powerful woman!

"Prime Minister, rewrite it!"

Obviously, Zhao Ji was not too stupid and knew what was most important now.

So, a new edict was issued to appoint Fusu, who was still in his swaddling clothes, as the emperor, with Queen Mother Zhao Ji as the regent, and Prime Minister Lu Buwei and General Meng Ao as the assistants.

In the process of formulating the edict, the subordinates of the eunuch order, who came like moths to a flame, were not a big deal at all. They were ordered by Queen Mother Zhao, who took the tiger talisman and the seal of the King of Qin, to be cleared out by the Shadow Secret Guard and the Imperial Guard.

Of course, this big cleanup was not just for the subordinates of the eunuch order who were obviously resisting. The powerful Zhao Ji directly sent troops to slaughter all the eunuchs in the Xianyang Palace and let Luowang take over the Shadow Secret Guard.

In the process, many white-faced and beardless men were even killed by mistake.

Her behavior was quite similar to the style of Yuan Shao and others killing eunuchs in Luoyang at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Ji had a good reason to do this: Who made you not notice the assassin's assassination and fail to protect the king in time? Is there a ghost among you?

Especially when the eunuch order had been determined, Zhao Ji's actions were more reasonable and well-founded.

For a time, everyone in the court of the Qin Dynasty was in danger.

The purge came to an end only after Cheng Jiao was executed.

The official reason for Cheng Jiao's execution was that he colluded with the eunuch Ling and the Zhao thief Tian Guang to assassinate the King of Qin.

Because of the drastic changes in the political arena, many officials who had originally surrendered to Zhao Ji also rose to power. The important positions of Weiwei, Neishi, and other important positions that controlled the military power in Xianyang were replaced by Zhao Ji's people.

No one dared to stop this, and even Prime Minister Lu Buwei did not dare to say much.

To be honest, Lu Buwei was frightened by Zhao Ji's sudden cruelty. He even began to doubt whether Zhao Ji had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Otherwise, where did Zhao Ji suddenly get so many strong people, and directly launched a coup with lightning speed? Was she ready to assassinate the King of Qin and control the government since she asked for Luowang?

Now that there are assassins and tiger talismans, as well as the legitimacy brought by the will and identity, Lu Buwei has realized that Zhao Ji cannot easily compete in a short time.

He needs to plan carefully.

No one in the court opposed it, and naturally no one in the military opposed it.

At present, Meng Ao, the only remaining veteran in the military, is still leading troops outside, and his younger brother Meng Jia did play a very bad role in Tian Guang's assassination of the King of Qin. He has been stripped of his title and exiled to Lintao.

But even with such a treatment, Meng Ao has to be grateful, because under normal circumstances, this is a serious crime that will punish nine generations of his family.

What's more, Meng Ao was appointed as one of the two regents!

He also has to thank us.JPG

"Master, did I do a good job this time?"

Zhao Ji, who moved back to Xianyang Palace after many years, lay in Dong Huang's arms and acted like a spoiled child.

Not far away, Fusu and Ying Yinman in their cradles were drinking milk.

Zhao Ji is no longer pretending.

She doesn't need to pretend anymore.

It was normal for the queen mother of this era to keep male favorites, find men, or even find many men after the death of the king. Qin State also had the foundation of Queen Mother Xuan, so it was naturally very tolerant of this and even accustomed to it.

On the contrary, it was abnormal for Zhao Ji to be as pure as jade.

So even if Dong Huang appeared openly in Xianyang Palace and had fun with Zhao Ji, no one would have any objections.

Those who occasionally had objections were killed by Zhao Gao!

Zhao Gao had become the new eunuch commander, controlling Luowang and Secret Prison, and the Shadow Secret Guard was also handed over to him. He was also responsible for the deaths of Cheng Jiao and others.

Now Zhao Gao was so powerful and notorious that even Lu Buwei had to be wary of him.

However, the real Zhao Gao had actually died a long time ago, and this Zhao Gao was pretended by Jing Shan.

Not to mention, he acted quite like him.

Under the premise of Zhao Gao's brutal purge and Zhao Ji's control of the Xianyang army, the current Xianyang City and Xianyang Palace belong to Zhao Ji and Dong Huang. Dong Huang can do whatever he wants.

The only thing that is a bit explosive is that Queen Mother Huayang also participated in it, but no one dared to say anything.

This gave Dong Huang a sense of pleasure and conquest as when he bullied Queen Mother He in the harem of the Han Dynasty.

This sense of conquest is not what he had when he bullied the orphans and widows of Chu.

Those who understand will understand.

Omit 100,000 words.

Anyway, men have this little hobby.

When ordinary love between men and women becomes boring, you have to seek some different excitement.

Dong Huang even secretly brought in the queen mothers or queens and princesses of several other countries, evolving from the harmony of three phoenixes to the harmony of a hundred phoenixes.

Anyway, the Xianyang Palace is now completely under the control of Dong Huang's people, and not even a fly can fly in. Dong Huang can play however he wants.

This place has become Dong Huang's home outside.

The person who was most shocked by the hasty death of Qin Wang Zheng was actually Wang Jian.

Wang Jian had just expressed his support for Qin Wang Zheng when Qin Wang Zheng came to Handan. Supporting Qin Wang Zheng meant not supporting Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei.

However, now, Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei are in power again. Of course, there is also Meng Ao, but everyone knows that Meng Ao will not live long, and his brother has this kind of thing. Meng Ao's position as a regent is just a means to appease the army.

Wang Jian, who is extremely politically sensitive, felt very panicked.

He was afraid of being liquidated and retaliated.

Even Bai Qi, the pillar of Qin, could not escape liquidation, let alone him.

Wang Jian was at a loss.

At this time, he received an order: quickly destroy Zhao and avenge the previous king!

This decree directly tacitly agreed that all the Qin troops north of the Yellow River and east of Taihang would be under Wang Jian's command. This should have been a great trust, but Wang Jian was even more panicked.

When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits die, the running dogs are cooked!

Wang Jian may not have heard this sentence, but he must understand the truth.

Moreover, with his qualifications, is he really suitable to be the commander-in-chief to destroy Zhao at this time?

Isn't this a flattery?

"Or, keep the enemy and protect yourself?"

"No, you can't keep the enemy and protect yourself. With Li Mu's ability, once I show a flaw, I will be defeated by him. Moreover, if I don't try my best, it will be seen."

"Forget it, the queen mother and the prime minister should not be so petty, right?"

Wang Jian kept thinking.

Before Wang Jian could figure out a rule, someone brought him shocking news - there was a problem with the will.

The one who brought this news was Gai Nie, who was seriously injured at the time and fell into a coma after delivering this news.

This almost pissed Wang Jian off to death.

He didn't want to know the news at all.

He even wanted to kill Gai Nie.

However, the friendship between him and Ying Zheng eventually made him hide Gai Nie.

——

Wang Jian was worried, and his old rival Li Mu was also worried.

At the beginning, Li Mu and all the soldiers were extremely angry about Li Ru's betrayal of the country and the map, and some even wanted to assassinate Li Ru;

However, when the news of the successful assassination of Qin came, the whole Zhao State immediately understood Li Ru's good intentions and admired Li Ru very much;

But when the civil strife in Qin was cut off in an instant, and almost no army was affected, when the Qin army assembled three million revenge troops to come for revenge, countless people began to hate Li Ru for causing the war.

Human nature is so complicated and despicable.

Li Mu also hated and respected Li Ru.

But putting aside personal feelings, Li Mu knew very well that dealing with Li Ru, the pro-war faction, at this time would be tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.

However, Li Ru, who was addicted to playing the role of a righteous man, insisted on going to Qin State, and repeatedly said that he would use his death to exchange for Qin's withdrawal.

Privately, Li Ru said to the six-fingered black knight and the farmer's disciples: "I am willing to die in exchange for the will of Zhao State to resist Qin!"

This time, the six-fingered black knight and the farmer's disciples admired Li Ru even more.

Seeing that Li Ru was determined to die, one of Li Ru's "retainers" could not stand it. He actually turned into Li Ru's appearance in public, used Li Ru's voice, and said loudly: "Young master, you should keep your useful body, and leave the matter of going to death to me!"

After that, he also winked at the six-fingered black knight and others.

The six-fingered black knight and the farmers immediately understood and worked together to capture Li Ru.

Li Ru was immediately distraught: "How can I let others die for me!"

As Dong Huang's favorite concubine and Li Ru's adopted daughter, "Magic Girl" Mo Yu Qilin sighed in her heart and secretly complained, but she could only continue to play with Li Ru: "Your life is a hundred times more valuable than mine. Please bear the humiliation and accomplish great things! I will die without regrets!

If you don't obey, I am willing to die here first."

After saying that, Mo Yu Qilin drew his sword and put it on his neck.

Mo Yu Qilin threatened to die, and others were moved by Mo Yu Qilin's fearlessness of death. They could only continue to persuade him: "Sir, the overall situation is more important!"

"Ah!"

Li Ru sighed and was in pain, as if he had two painful masks of a warrior when playing the King of Glory. Not only was he in pain, but his teammates were also in more pain.

Life depends entirely on acting skills.

Li Ru's acting skills are undoubtedly getting more and more exquisite.

So, the black jade unicorn was sent to the bed of Dong Huang in the Xianyang Palace of Qin State, and had an alternative public-funded tour.

Not to mention, the beautiful girl in prison uniform is indeed an alternative and novel experience.

The prison uniform girl who can transform is even more of an experience.

As for Li Ru, he "faked his death and escaped", and went to a farmer's house with his confidants to become a chivalrous leader. The affairs of Zhao State were secretly controlled by his son Li Tai.

In fact, there was nothing to control, it was nothing more than how to harm Li Mu. This, Zhao Wangyan, who was about to become a puppet, must be able to do well.

Li Mu didn't know that Li Ru was faking his death, and thought that Li Ru was really so great and heroic.

Although this did mobilize the Zhao army's hatred of the enemy, Li Mu felt sad that the king of Zhao would hand over such a great hero.

Admittedly, it seems that Li Ru is willing to die for the country, but without the approval of the king of Zhao, which country would hand over its prime minister in exchange for the enemy's face?

Li Mu couldn't help thinking: If Li Ru can be handed over today, can I, Li Mu, be handed over tomorrow?

Li Mu inevitably had different thoughts.

The Li Ru incident not only made many smart natives suspicious, but also made many war agents completely disappointed with King Zhao. However, the huge sunk costs and the price of betrayal made the war agents have to grit their teeth and hold on.

Against this background, the tragic Battle of Julu between Qin and Zhao officially started.

This was a battle without any fancy moves.

Both sides were top generals, and there was no trick in their battles. It was just a head-on confrontation.

In terms of the overall level of generals, Zhao was actually at a disadvantage, but Li Mu commanded properly and promoted a large number of outstanding generals without backgrounds, which quickly brought the level of middle and high-level generals between them closer.

There is no doubt that the generals promoted by Li Mu were the war agents and the famous generals under his command.

Faced with this situation, Wang Jian also knew that it was useless to be anxious. He was more inclined to send troops from Jingxing and other routes to oppress the Zhao army's space for activities with the advantage of military strength and find opportunities in the movement.

Li Mu, who had suffered a loss once, had also been prepared and deployed heavy troops in several dangerous places. The Qin army failed to achieve effective results in several attacks.

The two sides eventually returned to the old road of confrontation between the two armies.

This confrontation lasted until the end of the fifth year of Qin Wang Zheng and the beginning of the first year of Qin Wang Fusu.
