As the Great Qin army surrounded Handan, it began to rain heavily in the Yan Country.
In an official hall in Yan Country, a man in his thirties and an old man in his fifties seemed to be talking about something.
"Young Master, the Qin Country has sent an additional 100,000 troops to the Zhao Country. The destruction of the State of Zhao is not far away."
"Teacher, is there really no other way?”
.....
This man was Young Master Dan of Yan Country, and the old man was Ju Wu, Young Master Dan's teacher.
The two of them sat chatting, their expressions not very good.
It had been five years since Prince Dan of Yan fled back to the Yan Kingdom in 232 B.C. He had been treated coldly by the King of Qin as a hostage.
Yan Crown Prince Dan was still brooding over this. Out of national hatred and family hatred, Yan Crown Prince Dan was determined to take revenge.
"Yan is weak and remote. We should invite Wei, Chu, and Qi to form an alliance. At the same time, we should borrow troops from the Xiongnu in the north to join forces to resist Qin.”
Ju Wu said slowly. If this sentence was heard by people two thousand years later, they would definitely curse the old dog.
The savagery of the Xiongnu, the various evil deeds of the Xiongnu. In history, millions of men had died at the hands of the Xiongnu. And the number of women and young girls who were raped and plundered by the Xiongnu was more than a million. That was ten million. Ten million.
"It will take quite a long time, and there is no guarantee that the alliance will succeed. The chances are too small."
Young Master Dan shook his head slowly. Now that the six countries had been annexed, Zhao was in danger. There were too many grudges between the remaining four countries. If they wanted to form an alliance, it was not something that could be done in a month or two.
"Teacher, Dan wants to assassinate the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.”
Young Master Dan slowly raised his head and looked at his teacher.
Ju Wu heard this. He held his long beard and slowly thought about whether the assassination method was feasible. A moment later, he looked at Young Master Dan.
"Yan Country's hero, Tian Guang!"
A name came out of Ju Wu's mouth.
"Teacher, please help me introduce you."
Childe Dan slowly bent down and kowtowed to Ju Wu.
........
The next day, in a residence. Young Master Dan and Juwu found Tian Guang.
Tian Guang, Yan people. Due to his dissatisfaction with the reality of the feudal vassals fighting for hegemony and years of war, Tian Guang refused to be an official. He had always been chivalrous and made friends. He had been staying near Yan City.
He had a close relationship with the minister of Yan State and the tutor Ju Wu.
Under Ju Wu's recommendation. After Young Master Dan explained to Tian Guang, he voiced out his thoughts.
However, Tian Guang shook his head.
"Guang, you're more than thirty years old. If he was in his prime, he might be able to assassinate the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.”
Tian Guang's expression was desolate. This was something he had always wanted. It was already late. His body had already aged.
"I have a friend called Jing Ke. His martial arts far surpass light."
Tian Guang introduced a person to Young Master Dan.
Hearing this, both Young Master Dan and Ju Wu were deeply moved when they heard Tian Guang say that Jing Ke was more powerful than them.
Then, Tian Guang told Jing Ke his address.
"I hope you won't divulge the important matters of the country!”
Before he left, Young Master Dan slowly bowed to Tian Guang.
Who would have thought that Tian Guang would suddenly pull out his sword?
"I don't know if anyone else knows about Young Master's plan." Tian Guang sighed. If the plan was leaked that day, Young Master would suspect Guang.”
After saying that, Tian Guang resolutely committed suicide with his sword.
Prince Dan and Ju Wu looked at Tian Guang falling down. Both of them knelt down towards Tian Guang's corpse.
Then, the two of them hurriedly walked to Tian Guang's final address. They arrived at a wooden house. He knocked on the door. Then, he saw Jing Ke, who was more than twenty years old.
The three of them then plotted to assassinate the King of Qin.
Jing Ke offered Prince Dan a plan. He planned to offer the head of the Qin traitor Heng Yi and Yan Dukang (a fertile piece of land in Yan) to the King of Qin. The king of Qin will certainly meet him with the courtesy of an envoy.
Throughout the Warring States Period, envoys represented the two countries. There had never been an assassination attempt. Qin Wangzheng would definitely not be on guard.
Prince Dan and Ju Wu looked at each other and frowned.
The land was easy to talk about, but Heng Yi was once a general of the Qin country. Now that he had come to the Yan Country. If he was killed, the talents of other countries would definitely not come to the Yan Country in the future.
Jing Ke sat opposite the two of them and looked at their troubled expressions. His expression did not change.
"Now that Han is dead, Zhao is about to be destroyed. If Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, did not die, how could Yan survive?”
.........
On the other side, Chou Fu and Meng Wu were outside Handan City. They set up camp ten miles away from Handan.
The reinforcements did not arrive. 50,000 Qin soldiers could not attack Handan at all.
The ugly man came to a high slope and sat down alone. The armor had been removed. From the uneven shoulders, it could be seen that his body was still wrapped in cloth.
He looked at Handan in the distance. Almost a year ago. He enlisted himself.
Ever since he had joined the army, his world had been filled with only war and slaughter.
He walked over step by step and only realized it when he came back to his senses. From an unremarkable soldier, he had unknowingly stepped onto the stage of history.
He slowly lay on the ground, pulled a blade of grass from the side, and put it in his mouth. He looked at the sky. Ugly husband was thinking about what kind of person he wanted to be.
Closing his eyes, he recalled how his father was killed while searching for herbs. Ugly husband's mind flashed with the scene of his mother falling ill on the bed and Kiko's frail appearance.
The captain who took care of him, the youth who gave him a shield, General Bi. And on the mountain road, hundreds of brothers had fallen on the road.
After that, the faces of Wang Ben, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Li Si, and the King of Qin Ying Zheng appeared in his mind.
A man does not spread his wings, but he is born with an eight-foot body.
The name of a position suddenly appeared in the ugly man's mind. Lord Wu An!
It was an official position that Baiqi had held at his peak.
