After Song Yan left, Zhao Yan teamed up with two lieutenants and the senior generals who were enslaved by Song Yan to carry out a large-scale purge in the army. Those who were loyal to Zhao or had evil intentions were completely killed by them. kill.
After killing these people, Zhao Yan set up camp and marched quickly to Linshui County of Zhao State on the second day.
In this era, communications were backward, and even if the military's informants were not completely eliminated, the news of the major changes in the generals could not be spread.
Two days later, Zhao Yan led an army to Linshui County. Because Zhao Yan had royal blood, Wu Yi, the lord of the county and city, did not dare to stop him and allowed him to lead the army into the city. In the end, he captured Linshui County without any bloodshed and inserted it into the city. took the flag of Qi.
After capturing Linshui County, Zhao Yan did not stop. Instead, he divided his troops into three groups and captured the three counties of Linshui County in just three days. He also recruited 8,000 troops, bringing his army to 20,000. More than five thousand people.
Since Song Yan left Linbian City, Meng Bozhao and Song Xiu, who were waiting for news in a small courtyard, seemed anxious.
If Song Yan succeeds in assassinating Zhao Yan this time, the Zhao army will definitely be in chaos for a while, and Linbian will be able to survive for a while. If the assassination fails, Linbian will be destroyed soon.
However, both Meng Bozhao and Song Xiu thought wrong. Song Yan was not there to assassinate Zhao Yan, but had a bigger plan.
"Mr. Song, do you think Mr. Song will be able to accomplish anything here?" Meng Bozhao asked while walking around the room.
"General Meng, don't worry. Mr. Song is a disciple of the immortal. If he has to pass on the immortal method, he will definitely succeed!" Song Xiu said with determination. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in Song Yan in his heart. After all, he could sneak into the 20,000-person army alone. The assassination of the general in the army's barracks would be difficult for even an immortal to escape once discovered.
"I hope so!"
The waiting is excruciating.
finally.
At five o'clock in the morning, Song Yan's figure flashed and appeared in the small courtyard.
Meng Bozhao and Song Xiu hurriedly came forward and said, "Mr. Song, you are back."
"General Meng, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Song Yan asked with a smile, looking at Meng Bozhao who looked anxious and expectant.
"Oh, Mr. Song, please stop teasing me. I won't be able to sleep until I see you back." Meng Bozhao said with a wry smile. Since Song Yan revealed that he was the immortal's apprentice, Meng Bozhao's respect and awe for him have increased. Up one level, before him and Emot will call himself.
"It's done." Song Yan said softly.
"Zhao Yan is dead, that would be great!"
Meng Bozhao couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Song Xiu couldn't help but darken his eyes when he heard the news of Zhao Yan's death. After all, he was once a staff member under Zhao Yan.
Song Yan picked up the cold teapot, poured himself a cup, and said slowly: "Zhao Yan is not dead."
"Ah!" Meng Bozhao's expression froze: "The assassination failed?"
Song Yan glanced at Meng Bozhao speechlessly: "Who told you that I went to assassinate Zhao Yan?"
"Didn't you enter Zhao Jun's camp at night to assassinate Zhao Yan?" Meng Bozhao was a little confused and stared at Song Yan with confused eyes, waiting for him to solve the mystery.
"Assassination is too low-level and I won't do it. Now, Zhao Yan has led an army to join our Qi State!"
As soon as these words came out, Wuya and Shi were shocked.
"How can this be?"
"No way!"
"How is this impossible?" Song Yan took a sip of cold tea and continued: "Not only Zhao Yan has joined our Qi State, but also his two lieutenants and seventeen senior generals in the army. Surrender, before I left, I gave them an order, and tomorrow they will set up camp and attack Linshui County."
Listening to Song Yan's words, Meng Bozhao felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven. Immediately, it dawned on him that Mr. Song was a disciple of the immortal. He might not be able to do things that ordinary people can't do.
Thinking of this, he became extremely excited. As soon as Zhao Yan surrendered to the Qi State, he would gain an additional 20,000 troops. If Zhao Yan could capture Linshui County, he would be able to gain the title of the Qi State, and then those who are loyal to the Qi State would be able to win. I can come and take refuge.
"Okay, it's late, I should go back and rest!"
Song Yan yawned and walked to his room.
Meng Bozhao and Song Xiu hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Mr. Song."
Just as he approached his room, Song Yan discovered that there was someone in his room.
Pushing the door open and looking closely, he saw two pretty girls dressed as maids and wearing coarse linen clothes, sitting at the table and dozing.
When they heard the sound of opening the door, the two women were suddenly startled. When they saw Song Yan staring at them, they couldn't help but panic and fell to their knees: "This slave is guilty, please punish me."
Seeing the frightened look of these two little lolita, Song Yan was speechless: "What are you guilty of?"
Hearing Song Yan's inquiry, the two girls' faces instantly turned pale. The girl kneeling on the left said with a trembling voice: "The two slaves came to serve the young master in the name of the city lord. Because the young master has not returned for a long time, the two slaves fell asleep." , Please punish me, Master!"
In this world, there is no such thing as equality between men and women. Except for those women with noble status, other women are like property in the eyes of men. They can be bought and sold at will, and their status is very low.
And the Master Song in front of them was a figure that even the city lord wanted to fawn over, so they were so frightened.
"Okay, everyone, get up! I don't blame you!"
"I have thanked you, sir." The two women thanked him quickly and felt relieved.
"I'm going to rest, you guys go out first!" Song Yan said again.
However, the two women came up and said softly: "My slaves are here to help the young master change his clothes."
Song Yan waved his hand: "No need for this, you go down first, I will call you if I need anything!"
He knew that even if he wanted the bodies of these two girls tonight, they would not dare to resist. Although he regarded everyone in this world as NPCs, he also had certain principles.
But after hearing his words, the mood of the two women changed again, and they knelt down in front of him again: "Young master, you don't want it. We are ordered to serve you. If you are driven away by him, the city lord will definitely not spare these two slaves. Please also The young master is well-meaning, so don’t drive away these two slaves.”
"Since you want to stay, you should stay! By the way, where will you sleep?" Song Yan turned his eyes and saw that there were no extra beds in the room.
"The slaves don't need to sleep, but if the master needs it, the slaves can... ok!"
At this point, both women showed shyness on their faces, and they couldn't say the next words no matter what.
Song Yan understood what they meant and said with a smile: "Well, you go to bed and sleep. I can't sleep yet, so I plan to read a book."
"How is this possible...!"
The two women waved their hands repeatedly.
"Why, you obey the city lord's orders, but you don't obey my orders?" Song Yan's face suddenly darkened.
"Don't dare! I don't dare!" The two women showed panic again.
"If you don't dare, go to bed, otherwise, I will kick you out!"
"Yes, slave, I obey!"
The two women agreed together and walked towards the bed slowly. Song Yan ignored them and took out a novel brought from the real world and read it with relish.
