Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 856: Old Qin’s inheritance problem (make up last night)
The cavalry of the Xia army swept in, mighty, along the corridor of western Liaoning, ready to take Liucheng first, to capture a teleportation formation, in order to gain a foothold in the east of Liaoxi County.
News from all over the Han Empire flowed into Chutian's hands.
After Chutian agreed to Sun Jian's conditions, Sun Nuo suddenly lifted the siege of Hefei City and led the navy to attack Jiangling.
With the help of the Yangtze River moat, the Jiangdong army can come and go freely, and the Xia army has nothing to do with the 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 up Jingzhou, but it was difficult to use troops against Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
If Sun Jian didn't come to harass Hefei, Chutian could not ask for it.
The situation in Hanzhong and Nanman was not very good either.
Yang Su has a legendary assassin to leave.
To get away from the limit, Liu An, the player lord who has been active in Yizhou for several years, is taken away, and he is also killed by Liu An's army.
Chutian has never seen a legendary assassin.
Legendary assassins refer to famous historical assassins such as Jing Ke, Yaoli, Nie Zheng, Yu Rang, Zhuanzhu, etc. They are not free players.
There are very few free players whose profession is assassin, but these assassins have less and less room to play, because the small lords have disappeared, and the big lords are not easy to assassinate.
So no one wants to be an assassin anymore.
Legendary assassins have the chance to assassinate high lords because of their "stealth" characteristics and high personal strength.
When fighting on the battlefield, their strength will decrease, and their strength can only be exerted by assassination and single combat.
The Chutian faction actually possesses a similar talent, that is, the Sword Saint Li Bai.
Li Bai has more than 90 force in private, but let him go into battle to kill the enemy, his force value will decrease.
Knights, assassins, and generals may have the same force, but have completely different uses.
The generals lead a team of soldiers and horses to attack, and the knights and assassins will be easily slaughtered.
Assassins may assassinate enemy generals or monarchs, and reverse the situation by means other than the battlefield.
The death of Liu An taught Chu Tian a lesson.
He has Dian Wei as his escort. It is estimated that few legendary assassins can get close. Usually Chu Tian is with a group of wives and concubines. Huo Qing is weak, but Xia Xia Liang has Li Xiuning as his guard, Row Fu Di Ji lives in Xia Wang Mansion all year round, and Huo Qing has a team of guards from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, so Chu Tian is still quite safe.
That doesn't mean there's no chance at all.
Legendary Assassins are often referred to as Legendary Assassins because of their unexpected methods of assassination.
Specialized in assassinating Wu Wangliao, hid the dagger in the belly of the fish and offered it.
To leave the assassination of Qingji, take a bitter plan, kill his wife and incapacitate him, pretend to defect to Qingji, and then assassinate him.
Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin, and saw the poor dagger.
Yu Rang stabbed Zhao Xiangzi and swallowed charcoal.
Among the legendary assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, only Nie Zheng directly entered the Korean Prime Minister's Mansion and forcibly assassinated Han Xiangxia Lei in front of everyone.
Of course, the fate of all assassins, whether they succeed or fail, is basically a dead end.
Chutian had to consider adding a guard, and his status made him have to be cautious.
"In addition to Dian Wei, Taishi Ci, Monk Wanyan Chen, and King Arthur took turns leading the Qi Xue Army, the Zhongxiao Army, and the Knights of the Round Table as chief guards. In addition, Mi Fang's five schools of the Northern Army were stationed on the left and right. The five tiger generals Mi Fang, Xing Daorong, Wu Anguo, Chunyu Qiong, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang take turns patrolling..."
Chutian has formed a three-layered guard system. The first layer is the unreliable five schools of the Northern Army. The second layer is the Qing Xue Army, the Zhongxiao Army, and the Knights of the Round Table. Each soldier is equivalent to a low-level general. Assassins are found and can be killed. The third floor is the Tiger Guards, which were basically inseparable when they set off in Chutian.
In addition to Dian Wei, Chutian wanted to recruit another special guard.
Zhao Yun, Xue Rengui, King Arthur, etc. are all competent, but they are too overkill.
"The Xuanjia Army of Yuchigong and Cheng Yaojin works day and night with the Tiger Guards."
Chutian merged the Xuanjia Army into the list of Suwei.
No matter how tough Dian Wei is, he needs to rest, so he needs to have a personal guard who can replace Dian Wei.
Yuchi Gong plus Cheng Yaojin, and the Xuanjia Army are stronger than Dian Wei and the Tiger Guards.
The Xuanjia Army was after all the elite cavalry of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin.
With such a fortification, even a legendary assassin, it is almost impossible to assassinate Chutian.
The five schools of the Northern Army led by Mi Fang were mediocre, but they were able to deal with assassinations in most situations, and the assassins had to cross the second and third lines of defense.
Chutian's force is not low.
Therefore, no one will attack Chutian by assassination and win, because the probability of success is too low.
The Xia army, which stretched for hundreds of miles, arrived under Liucheng one after another and besieged Liucheng, which was defended by the Xianbei and Wuhuan people.
As for a storm or a long-term siege, Chutian has not yet decided.
The flags of the Xia army rang out, and Murong Ke and Murong Ba, who were in charge of defending the city, were one of them.
Xia Jun is in hot pursuit, coming from a long distance.
Liucheng's high-level troops are still being recruited, and the troops will not be replenished for a while.
I am afraid that even if Liucheng's high-level arms are recruited, Xia Jun will also add high-level arms from the Central Plains.
The supply and equipment of high-level units is also an issue.
Hedong County, Puban City, Wu Qi stormed the city, and Wang Jian defended it with the strong city wall.
However, Wu Qi's regiment maintained morale and continued to attack Puban City, aiming to capture this important stronghold east of the Yellow River.
Xiangyang artillery continued to bombard Puban City, siege towers, and rushed into battle. Wang Jian also seemed to be struggling.
The Yue Fei Legion and the Invincible Legion are attacking Yinchuan City, eroding the forces of Lao Qin.
Puban City and Yinchuan City are both important cities, and it is impossible for the Qin army not to save them.
Old Qin returned to Guanzhong and continued to send troops to support Puban City and Yinchuan City, delaying time.
The Qin army was waiting for Lao Qin's condition to improve, but he didn't want to fight for a while, and was pressed and beaten by Wu Qi and Yue Fei.
The monarch is precarious, and the generals have their own thoughts and are unwilling to fight.
Only the commanders Wang Jian and Li Ji were fighting seriously.
"Something seems to be going wrong..."
Jia Xu saw that the old Qin's mansion in Xianyang City kept going in and out, and it seemed that Lao Qin's health was deteriorating.
"If the lord can't survive this calamity, and no one can inherit the foundation of Guanzhong, Wu Qi and Yue Fei will be aggressive from outside, and I'm afraid Guanzhong will become someone else's wedding dress."
A civil servant appeared beside Jia Xu.
Li Si, a civil servant who served Lao Qin very early, and Xun Yu, is one of the two chief civil servants of Lao Qin.
Xun Yu is mainly responsible for maintaining the operation of the Han court, while Li Si is more like Lao Qin's confidant minister, and Jia Xu is Lao Qin's confidant adviser.
Both of them have realized that Lao Qin may not get better.
After all, Lao Qin is already old, and with a terminal illness that even a genius doctor can't help, there is little chance of improvement.
"Who would have thought that I would lose the qualification to compete in the Central Plains in such a way..."
Jia Xu was a little embarrassed.
He assisted Lao Qin in Guanzhong, helped Lao Qin control the Han court, annexed Xiliang, and competed in the Central Plains.
However, Lao Qin did not fail, only in Mangshan, but fell down because of his age and health.
"No, someone has already thought of it, that is the lord himself... I must have known a few years ago that he might be suffering from an incurable disease."
Jia Xu suddenly thought of Lao Qin's behavior in the past. Sometimes Lao Qin could clearly target Chutian, but he didn't do it too much.
In the expedition to the Western Regions, Lao Qin also sent troops, and Chu Tian obtained the official position, and Lao Qin also ceded the official position of the general to Chu Tian.
At these times, Lao Qin could clearly be more ruthless.
"You mean, the lord knows that he will have such a day. So, what is he doing to fight for the Central Plains?"
Li Si couldn't understand Lao Qin's thoughts.
Knowing that it was a sure-fire ending, but still trying, made Li Si a little puzzled.
"Maybe the lord is not sure if he will have an accident. Or maybe he just wants to be the king, fight with the Xia king, and leave a fortune.
Jia Xu seems to have been born at this time.
"Wenhe, if the lord has three strengths and two weaknesses, perhaps we should look for a successor in advance, or ask the lord about the candidate."
Li Si is more concerned with his own interests.
"We... went to see the lord..."
Jia Xu had to protect himself at this time.
The struggle for hegemony between the King of Qin and the King of Xia has not yet reached a tragic level, so it will not be angered by the generals of the Qin army.
Li Si's light flashed, as if he suddenly thought of an idea: "The lord has no queen, why not support the emperor of Han? The emperor of Han is still the co-lord of the world, and he is young..."
Jia Xu looked at Li Si.
He and Li Si are both smart people and naturally know what Li Si really thinks.
Establish a cowardly emperor of Han, then all power will fall into the hands of powerful ministers.
They, Li Si and Jia Xu, are officials of power.
"If the world is at peace at this time, and a young emperor is established, you and I are above ten thousand people, in charge of government affairs, and the glory and wealth are endless. But the world is in chaos, and the non-male emperor cannot unite the Han Empire. A cowardly emperor , unable to win over the hearts of the people, suppressing the powerful ministers and generals, and perishing sooner or later.”
Jia Xu is still sane.
Unless the old Qin is the most powerful, it is possible to support the emperor of Han and become a powerful minister like Sima Yi.
Otherwise, Chutian could easily destroy the forces led by Emperor Han.
In history, Li Si supported Qin II Hu Hai, and was eventually eradicated by Zhao Gao.
Now, Li Si still wants to support the weak monarch and become a powerful minister.
Jia Xu was reluctant to take such a dangerous course.
Li Si was persuaded by Jia Xu, and he was also in a tangle: "Indeed, at this time of trouble, the emperor of Han is simply unable to preside over the situation~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Bu, Li Yuanhao and the like, although they have ambitions, it is difficult to achieve great things, while Wang Jian, Li Ji and others, who can be generals, should not be masters, I am afraid they will be disappointed."
"That's what's difficult."
Jia Xu and Li Si could not find a suitable candidate.
If Lao Qin has a son, then the heir will naturally be the eldest son, which can keep him safe.
But the problem is that Lao Qin was trapped in the world of lords, and he was nearly five years old. He had no descendants and no relatives, so he could only choose an heir from his subordinates.
The question of choosing a successor has stumped the two ministers Jia Xu and Li Si. With their ingenuity, they were unable to come up with a suitable internal candidate.
The two of them came to see Lao Qin and wanted Lao Qin to personally decide the successor.
When the carriage stopped at the Qin palace, the guard Yang Dayan was a little anxious, and said to Jia Xu and Li Si who came, "Two adults, the lord suddenly fell into a coma just now!"
Jia Xu and Li Si, two people who were usually very calm, couldn't help but change color at this time.
