Chapter 856： Lao Qin’s inheritance problem (make up last night)

The cavalry of the Xia Army swept across them, mighty, along the Liaoxi Corridor, preparing to take Liucheng first and seizing a teleportation array to gain a foothold in the east of Liaoxi County.

News from all parts of the Han Empire continued to flow into Chu Tian's hands.

After Chu Tian agreed to Sun Jian's condition, Sun Nutran lifted the siege of Hefei City and led the navy to go to attack Jiangling.

The Jiangdong Army relied on the Yangtze River Tianmo to come and go freely, and Xia Jun was helpless to Jiangdong Army.

Unless the Fubo Army is dispatched to the Yangtze River, it is possible to sanction Sun Jian.

Chutian knew that the Jiangdong army was swallowing the Jingzhou whales, but it was difficult to use troops against Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

If Sun Jian didn't come to harass Hefei, Chu Tian couldn't ask for it.

The situation in Hanzhong and Nanban is not very good either.

Yang Su unexpectedly has a legendary assassin to leave.

To change from the limit, take away the player lord Liu An who has been active in Yizhou for several years, and he was also killed by Liu An's army.

Chu Tian has never seen a legendary assassin.

The legendary assassin refers to the famous historical assassins such as Jing Ke, Yaoli, Nie Zheng, Yu Rang, Zhuan Zhu, etc. They are not free players.

There are very few free players whose professions are assassins, but these assassins have less and less room to play, because the little lord has disappeared, and the big lord is not easy to assassinate.

So now no one wants to be an assassin.

Legendary assassins have the chance to assassinate the lord, because they have "hidden" characteristics and high personal strength.

When fighting on the battlefield, their strength will decline, and only assassination and fighting alone can their strength be used.

The Chutian forces actually possess a similar talent, that is, the sword sage Li Bai.

Li Bai has more than 90 armed forces in private, but let him go into battle to kill the enemy, his force value will drop.

Knights, assassins, and generals may have the same force, but their uses are completely different.

Military commanders led a team of soldiers and horses to attack, and knights and assassins would be easily slaughtered.

Assassins, it is possible to assassinate enemy generals or monarchs, and reverse the situation through methods outside the battlefield.

The death of Liu An taught Chu Tian a lesson.

He has Dianwei as a guard. It is estimated that few legendary assassins can get close. Usually Chu Tian is with a group of wives and concubines. Hua Mulan, Jeanne of Arc, and Xiao Chuo all have the force, while Xia Liang, Rou Fu Di Ji, Huo Qing Pian Weak, but in the summer, Li Xiuning is the escort, Roufu Diji lives in the Xia Palace all the year round, and Huo Qing has a team of escorts from the Western Regions Protecting House, so Chutian is still quite safe.

This does not mean that there is no chance at all.

Legendary assassins often use unexpected methods of assassination, so they are called legendary assassins.

Specialized in assassinating Wu Wangliu, hiding the dagger in the belly of the fish and offering it.

To get away from the assassination of Qingji, take bitter tactics, kill his wife and mutilate, pretend to join Qingji, and then assassinate.

Jing Ke stabs King Qin, see you in the picture.

Yu let stab Zhao Xiangzi and swallow charcoal.

Among the legendary assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only Nie Zheng directly entered the Korean Minister's Mansion and forcibly assassinated Han Xiangxia in front of everyone.

Of course, the end of all assassins, regardless of the success or failure of the assassination, is basically a dead end.

Chu Tian must consider increasing the choice of guards, his position makes him have to be cautious.

"In addition to Dianwei, Tai Shici, Wanyan Chen monk, and King Arthur took turns leading the Xue Jun, Zhongxiao Army, and the Knights of the Round Table as the guards. In addition, Mi Fang’s five Northern Army schools were stationed on the left and right, and the Northern Army’s five tiger general Mi Fang , Xing Daorong, Wu Anguo, Chunyuqiong, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang took turns patrolling..."

Chutian formed a three-tiered guard system. The first tier is the unreliable Five Academy of the Northern Army, and the second tier is Xue Jun, Zhongxiao Army, and Knights of the Round Table. Each soldier is equivalent to a low-level general. Any assassin is discovered. , Can be killed. The third layer is the Tiger Guards. When Chutian marched, the Tiger Guards were basically inseparable.

In addition to Dianwei, Chu Tian also wanted to recruit another special guard.

Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, King Arthur, and others are all capable, but they are too overkill.

"Wei Chigong and Cheng Yaojin's Xuanjia Army work with the Tiger Guards day and night."

Chu Tian merged the Xuan Jia army into the list of Su Wei.

No matter how tough Dian Wei is, he has to rest, so he needs a personal guard to replace Dian Wei.

Yuchigong, Cheng Yaojin, and Xuanjia Army are more powerful than Dianwei and Tiger Guards.

After all, Xuan Jia Army was the elite cavalry of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty.

With such layers of defenses, even if it is a legendary assassin, it is almost impossible to assassinate Chutian.

Although Mi Fang's fifth Northern Army Academy is very mediocre, it can handle most cases of assassinations. Assassins have to cross the second and third lines of defense.

Chutian's force is not low.

So no one would attack Chutian by assassinating this way, and win, because the probability of success is too low.

The Xia army, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers, arrived under Liucheng one after another, besieging the Liucheng where the Xianbei and Wuhuan people defended.

As for the storm or the long-term siege, Chu Tian has not yet decided.

Xia Jun’s banners were hunting and hunting, letting Murong Ke and Murong Ba who were responsible for defending the city as one of them.

Xia Jun chased him, not far away.

Liucheng's high-level arms are still being recruited, and for a while, the troops cannot be supplemented.

I am afraid that even if Liucheng's high-level arms are recruited, Xia Jun will also supplement the high-level arms from the Central Plains.

The source and equipment of high-level arms is also a problem.

Hedong County, Puban City, Wu Qi stormed the city, and Wang Jian defended it by virtue of a strong wall.

However, Wu Qi's army maintained its morale and continued to attack Puban City, and was about to take down this important stronghold east of the Yellow River.

The Xiangyang artillery continued to bombard Puban City, siege towers, and rushed into battle. Wang Jian seemed to be very laborious.

The Yue Fei Legion and the Invincible Legion were attacking Yinchuan City and eroding the forces of Old Qin.

Both Puban City and Yinchuan City were important cities, and it was impossible for the Qin Army not to save them.

Lao Qin returned to Guanzhong and continuously sent troops to support Puban and Yinchuan, delaying time.

Qin Jun was waiting for Lao Qin's condition to improve. For a while, he had no intention of fighting, and was beaten by Wu Qi and Yue Fei on two soldiers and horses.

The monarch is unpredictable, and the generals also have their own thoughts and have no desire to fight.

Only commanders Wang Jian and Li Ji were fighting seriously.

"The situation seems a bit bad..."

Jia Xu saw that there were constant doctors entering and leaving Old Qin's residence in Xianyang City. It seemed that Old Qin's physical condition was deteriorating.

"In case the lord can't survive this disaster, and no one can inherit the foundation of Guanzhong, Wu Qi and Yue Fei outside are aggressive, I am afraid Guanzhong will become the wedding dress of others."

A civil servant appeared beside Jia Xu.

Li Si, a civil servant who served for Lao Qin very early, was one of Lao Qin's two major civil servants, just like Xun Yu.

Xun Yu is mainly responsible for maintaining the operation of the Han court, while Li Si is more like Lao Qin's confidant, and Jia Xu is Lao Qin's confidant.

Both people have realized that Lao Qin may not get better.

After all, Lao Qin was already old, and coupled with the terminal illness that even genius doctors could not help, the probability of getting better was unlikely.

"Who can think of losing the qualification to compete in the Central Plains in this way..."

Jia Xu was a little bit sorrowful.

He assisted Lao Qin who was in the middle of the pass, helped Lao Qin control the Han court, annex Xiliang, and compete for the Central Plains.

However, Lao Qin didn't lose much, he only lost in Mangshan, but fell because of his age and health.

"No, someone has already thought of it. It's the lord himself...presumably a few years ago, he knew that he might be suffering from an incurable disease."

Jia Xu suddenly thought of Lao Qin's behavior in the past. Lao Qin sometimes clearly could target Chu Tian, ​​but he didn't do too much.

During the expedition to the Western Regions, Lao Qin also sent troops, and Chu Tian sought an official position, and Lao Qin also surrendered the official position of the general to Chu Tian.

At these times, Lao Qin clearly could do more ruthlessly.

"What you mean is that the lord knows that he will have such a day. Then, what about his commitment to the Central Plains?"

Li Si couldn't understand Old Qin's thoughts.

Knowing that it will be defeated, but still trying, let Li Si somewhat puzzled.

"Maybe the lord is not sure if he will have an accident. Or he just wants to be king, fight with King Xia, leave a fortune, the sun and the moon are over, the life is geometric..."

Jia Xu seemed to be born at this time.

"Wenhe, if the lord has three strengths and two shortcomings, perhaps we should look for successors in advance, or ask the lord the questions about the candidates."

Li Si is more concerned about his own interests.

"We... go to see the lord..."

Jia Xu also had to protect himself.

The struggle for hegemony between King Qin and King Xia has not yet reached the point where it is tragic, so the anger will not be transferred to the generals of the Qin army.

Li Si's inspiration flashed, as if he had suddenly thought of a thought: "Why don't you have no queen, why don't you support the Emperor Han? The Emperor Han is still the co-master of the world, and he is young..."

Jia Xu looked at Li Si.

He and Li Si are both smart people, so naturally they know what Li Si's real thoughts are.

To support a cowardly Han emperor, then all power will fall into the hands of the power minister.

They Li Si and Jia Xu are powerful ministers.

"If the world is peaceful at this time, and the young emperor is supported, you and me are above 10,000, and we are in charge of political affairs, and the prosperity and wealth are endless. But the world is in chaos, and the non-male master cannot unify the Han Empire. A cowardly emperor cannot win over. People's hearts, suppressing power ministers, will perish sooner or later."

Jia Xu is still very sensible.

Unless Old Qin has the strongest power, it is possible to support the Emperor of Han and become a powerful minister like Sima Yi.

Otherwise, Chu Tian could easily destroy the forces led by Emperor Han.

Historically, Li Si supported Qin Ershi Hu Hai and was eventually eliminated by Zhao Gao.

Now, Li Si still wants to support weak monarchs and become powerful ministers.

Jia Xu was unwilling to take such a dangerous approach.

Li Si was persuaded by Jia Xu and fell into entanglement: "Indeed, the time is troubled, and the emperor of Han is simply unable to preside over the situationLü Bu, Li Yuanhao and the like, although they are ambitious, they are difficult to achieve, while Wang Jian and Li Ji Waiting for someone to be a general, but not suitable for being a leader, I am afraid I will be disappointed."

"It's the embarrassment."

Jia Xu and Li Si could not find a suitable candidate.

If Lao Qin had a son, then the heir would naturally be the eldest son, and he would be safe.

But the problem is that Lao Qin is trapped in the world of the lord and is close to fifty. He has no descendants and no relatives, so he can only choose an heir from his subordinates.

This question of the choice of successor has stumped the two ministers, Jia Xu and Li Si, but they were unable to come up with a suitable insider with their resourcefulness.

The two of them came to see Lao Qin, wanting Lao Qin to decide his successor himself.

When the carriage stopped at the Qin Palace, the guard Yang Da, with a slightly anxious eye, said to the arriving Jia Xu and Li Si: "Two adults, the lord was suddenly unconscious just now!"

Jia Xu and Li Si, two usually calm people, couldn't help changing their colors at this time.
