Chapter 53: Lord Xinling Stealing Talismans
Handan, Xinling Jun Mansion.
Today, Xinling Jun Mansion is no longer as lively as before. It is deserted. There are only a few dozen people in the entire mansion, which is far from comparable to the lively atmosphere of thousands of people in the past.
Since the Qin army invaded Handan City, Xinlingjun's prestige has plummeted. His "fame" has been destroyed without any attack. Countless people have called him a person who seeks fame and reputation, and countless people have called him the second place in Zhao Kuo, which has ruined the State of Zhao.
Especially when Lian Po said in public that he could use crossbow formation to fight against the Qin army, many people agreed with it, and attacked Xinlingjun with anger, calling him a dog thief and accusing him of ruining the country.
Some people who were angry and angry Zhao rushed to his mansion, smashed the door and threw stones and bricks, and scolded Xinling Jun for nothing. The angry Zhao people blocked his mansion and prevented Xinling Jun from entering and leaving. After a few days, these Zhao people dispersed.
What made Xinling Jun most uncomfortable was that Lian Po seized his general's military talisman and left him with no power. For this reason, he went to see King Xiaocheng of Zhao with shamelessness. At this time, King Xiaocheng of Zhao no longer believed him, but formally accepted Lian Po as General. In this way, Xinling Jun's thoughts were completely cut off.
Thinking about it, Xinling Jun made mistakes again and again. Even King Xiaocheng, who was ignorant of the army, knew that he had ruined many Zhao soldiers for nothing, how could he order him as a general again?
As a last resort, Xinling Jun went to see Pingyuan Jun. He originally wanted to rely on family affection, Pingyuan Jun's brother-in-law would help him, but he did not expect that Pingyuan Jun would never see him. Without him, Xinling Jun has stolen Pingyuan Jun's limelight since he came to Handan. Pingyuan Jun has been enduring it and has no chance to revenge him. How can you miss this opportunity with Pingyuan Jun's vengeful personality?
These blows are already serious enough, but there are even more serious blows, that is: the visitors are dispersed!
In the Warring States Period, raising disciples became a trend. These disciples were not "scholars" as they claimed to be, but were just people who were moved by strange ideas and forget their righteousness when they saw profit.
In modern terms, it is "will be better if you have profit, and if you don't have profit, you will give in." When the master's family has power and power, these people are the most loyal minions, and they try their best to please the master's family and do everything they can. When the master's family loses power, they will give up their master's family and leave.
Mengchangjun is the best example. When Mengchangjun was the prime minister of Qi, he kept thousands of guests, and when he saw him, he wagged his tail and was busy cursing favor. When Mengchangjun lost power and was dismissed from the position of prime minister, his disciples immediately dispersed, which made Mengchangjun very angry.
Later, Mengchangjun became the prime minister of Qi again, and these scattered disciples came to him again. According to Mengchangjun's anger, he really wanted to cut these shameless people alive. Fortunately, his confidant disciple Feng Xu persuaded him, and Mengchangjun was relieved of his resignation.
Xinlingjun’s current experience is exactly the same as Mengchangjun. Once he loses power, his disciples will be dispersed, with thousands of visitors, and only more than twenty people left.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" Xinling Jun was very angry, roaring, saliva splashed, his face turned pale, his face twisted, and his eyes were almost falling off.
"Bang bang bang!" Xinlingjun smashed whatever he grabbed. In just a short while, a thick layer of debris appeared on the ground.
"Young Master, things have come to this point, it's useless to be angry." Zhu Hai hurriedly comforted him: "It's better to think of a solution."
"Bad! It's all you, it's all you. You have two hearts and want to defect to Qin Yiren, don't think that I don't know." Zhu Hai's kind-hearted advice caused Xinling Jun's thunderous anger. Xinling Jun turned around suddenly, his eyes staring like a copper bell, and he stared at Zhu Hai desperately, hating that he had to tear Zhu Hai and ate it.
At this time, Xinling Jun lost his mind and was like a scoundrel in the market, and he had no such a "virtuous young master".
"Nothing happened." Zhu Hai was almost crying.
Zhu Hai was loyal to Xinlingjun. Although he had a good impression of Qin Yiren, he was still far from leaving Xinlingjun and joining Qin Yiren. Xinlingjun was wrongly accusing him. Zhu Hai wanted to defend himself, but he was not good at speaking and didn't know where to start.
"Young Master, it's useless to be angry, I have to find a way." Hou Ying and Zhu Hai had a good relationship. Of course, they didn't expect Zhu Hai to be too embarrassed. They quickly changed the topic and said, "The Qin army is currently carrying out a strategy to attack the heart, and the results are good. The Zhao people can sit with the Qin army and chat. After a while, the Zhao people will no longer hate Qin. At that time, the Qin army will attack the city, and Handan will be destroyed. Once Handan is broken, we will die without a place to bury it. We have to worry about this matter."
The Qin army's strategy of attacking the hearts was progressing well. The Zhao people's attitude towards the Qin army gradually improved. In time, the Zhao people no longer hated Qin, so it would be difficult for Handan to protect him. Once Handan was defeated, how could Qin let him go with what Xinling Jun did? In the hands of the Qin army, Xinling Jun would not be enough to cut him even if he had ten lives.
"What do you think you should do?" Xinlingjun hesitated for a while, threw away a pottery jar in his hand, and asked at Hou Ying.
"I have discussed this matter with Mr. Xue and Hou Ying. The young master has two ways to go." Mr. Mao took over the conversation at the right time and said, "One is the best strategy, and the other is the worst strategy."
"What is the best strategy? What is the worst strategy?" Xinling Jun asked hurriedly.
"Tell me the worst first." Mr. Xue took the conversation and said, "Young Master left Handan and no longer participated in the dispute between Qin and Zhao."
"Leave Handan?" Xinling Jun shook his head and said, "Where can I go after Handan? The world is so big, but there is no place for me to live in."
Leaving Handan is a plan, but there is no place to live. It is impossible for Xinlingjun to return to Daliang. King Wei will never allow him to go back. With Xinlingjun's actions, he has angered Qin. Once Qin destroys Zhao, he will free up his hands to deal with him. Wherever Xinlingjun escapes, Qin will chase him. King Wei will definitely not allow him to return to Wei, which is to cause trouble.
If he didn't return to Wei, where could Xinlingjun go? He really couldn't think of a place. It was inevitable that Qin would chase him. Who dared to take him in? He would become the second Wei Qi, and King Zhao of Qin would only need a letter of nationality to kill him.
"It is precisely because the young master has no way to go and has nowhere to defect to, leaving Handan is just a bad idea." Mao Gong nodded.
"What about the best strategy?" Xinling Jun certainly did not want to make a bad strategy, that was to seek death.
"The best strategy is to protect Handan and prevent Qin from breaking Handan. As long as you protect Handan, the young master will be fine." Mr. Xue spread his hands and sighed, "Although this is the best strategy, it is too slim. Handan is destroyed only in the morning and evening. It is too difficult to protect Handan, too difficult."
"Yes." Hou Ying sighed and said, "Although we thought of the best strategy, we can't achieve it, so we can only say it."
With the current situation in Handan, it is too difficult to protect Handan, as difficult as climbing to the sky. Even with Mr. Mao, Mr. Xue and Hou Ying's wisdom, they could not think of a good idea.
"Save Handan? Keep Handan?" Xinlingjun's eyes flashed, and he couldn't stop thinking, and his face changed.
Mr. Mao, Mr. Xue, Hou Ying and Zhu Hai were very surprised and stared at Mr. Xinling without saying a word.
"Haha!" Suddenly, Xinling Jun raised his head to the sky and laughed wildly.
This is too abrupt. Mao and the others were puzzled. You look at me, I look at you, and you look at each other speechlessly.
"Young Master, why are you laughing?" Zhu Hai was so quick-hearted that he asked when he thought of it.
"You said you can't keep Handan, right? Who said you can't?" Xinling Jun's face was flushed, and his depressedness just now swept away. Mo Ming was excited, and his right hand clenched into a fist, and he roared: "I have a clever plan."
"Young Master, what's the plan?" Mao Gong and the others asked in unison, each of them was very anxious.
If Handan is not protected, they will die, and they must be anxious.
"Didn't that old man from Jin Bi lead 200,000 troops to stay on the border of Zhao and Wei? As long as you hold these 200,000 troops in your hands, it will be not difficult to protect Handan." Xinling Jun clenched his right hand into a fist, and he used too much force, and the back of his hand turned blue.
"Young Master, don't think about this matter, it's impossible." Mao Gong shook his hand and sighed: "Jin Bi is loyal and only recognizes the will of the King of Wei and does not listen to anyone. How can he hold these 200,000 troops in his hand?"
With Jin Bi's loyalty to the King of Wei, Xinling Jun had no chance at all, so he could only think about this.
Mr. Xue, Hou Ying and Zhu Hai shook their heads and didn't say anything. The meaning was so clear: Xinling Jun was whimsical!
"What if there is a military talisman?" Xinling Jun asked in a deep voice as if he had not seen their disbelief.
"Soldier Talisman?" Mr. Mao, Mr. Xue, Hou Ying and Zhu Hai asked in unison.
If you can have military talismans in your hands, you will likely control these 200,000 Wei troops. As long as you get these 200,000 Wei troops, there will be great things to do.
"Young Master, how can you get the military talisman in the hands of the King of Wei?" Mao Gong didn't believe it.
Military talismans are the most important. Any king will take care of it carefully. If you want to get it, it is impossible. The difficulty is no less than climbing the sky.
"The military talisman is in the hands of the King of Wei, yes, it can be stolen." Xinlingjun's words were amazing.
“…”
Mao Gong, Xue Gong, Hou Ying and Zhu Hai did not have a good energy-saving lamp. They can be said to be a brave man. At this time, they were shocked by Xinling Jun's words.
The importance of military talismans is not something that everyone can understand. How bold is it to steal the military talisman? What courage is it? It can be said that it is so bold.
"Gugu!" Mao Gong and the other two made a strange sound in their throats, like a rooster crowing and slamming their necks, looking in disbelief.
"Young Master, are you joking?" After a long time, Mr. Mao and the other two realized that they still didn't believe it, thinking that Mr. Xinling was joking.
"I am serious!" Xinling Jun was serious and had no intention of joking.
"Then... how to give birth to the talisman of stealing troops?" Mao Gong asked.
"Mengchangjun entered Qin and was detained by Qin and could not return to Qi. He had to seek help from the robbers and thieves, stole the fox fur of the King of Qin and gave it to the King of Qin Meiji. Only after the beautiful girl's words could he be able to get out of here." Xue Gong pondered: "Where are we going to find the robbers and thieves who are skilled?"
At present, Xinlingjun's guests are scattered, and there are not even a few visitors, let alone an expert who can enter the royal camp to steal military talismans.
