Chapter 188 You've offended the general and you still want to run away?
The war gradually subsided. Outside the city of Handan, Zhao Jia looked at Handan not far away and sighed.

He is the elder brother of King Qian of Zhao and the former crown prince of Zhao. Compared with King Qian of Zhao, he is actually a better candidate for King of Zhao.

However, King Daoxiang of Zhao liked King Qian of Zhao's mother more, so the candidate for King Zhao was easily replaced.

At this time, Zhao Jia was hiding here just to wait for everything to calm down so that he could escape.

He was followed not by Zhao's generals and soldiers, but by a group of civil servants who had escaped from Handan.

When Handan was declared broken, King Qian of Zhao ran away first, and they ran after him.

However, they were luckier than King Qian of Zhao and successfully escaped from Handan.

Judging from the escape rate, it was undoubtedly higher when Handan was in chaos.

But Zhao Jia knew that while the chaos was not quelled, the Qin army would search the Zhao royal family more efficiently, and his escape rate would be even lower.

It would be better to wait until everything is settled, then disguise yourself as a refugee and flee to Daicheng, which would give you a glimmer of hope.

But Zhao Jia overlooked one thing. The Zhao royal palace had been broken into and the Zhao family tree had fallen into Gongsun Ce's hands. How could Gongsun Ce not name anyone?
So, in the palace of King Zhao, Gongsun Ce looked at a thick volume of family genealogy and fell into deep thought.

"She's really fertile."

Of course, it does not refer to King Zhao, but other royal relatives, such as Zhao Cong and others.

Gongsun Ce cleared his throat, turned to the last volume of the genealogy that belonged to King Daoxiang of Zhao, and began to call out the names of the royal family of Zhao in front of him.

After comparing the royal names one by one, Gongsun Ce discovered that Zhao Jia was not in front of him, but other than that, everyone else was there.

Because there were also royal family members who had died and royal family members who had traveled to various places in Zhao State.

"Where is Wang Li?"

"The general is here!"

"Tell your grandfather to expand the search area, focusing on the direction from Handan to Daicheng and the surrounding areas of Handan. We must find Zhao Jia."

After saying that, Gongsun Ce clapped his hands, and the Luowang killer who was hiding in the dark appeared, "Go, search for Zhao Jia. If you can't find him, I'll deduct your merit points."

"Yes!"

Gongsun Ce scratched his brow and decided to train a new top-level killer as soon as possible. The members of Luowang's Six Sword Slaves are being searched for, and he believes that there will be some results soon.

But the twins Zhuanhunmiepo are really hard to find, and I don’t know how long it will take.

That afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.

After Zhao Jia watched wave after wave of Qin troops leave Handan, he realized it was time to leave and head for Daicheng.

"So Master Jia is here. It really made it hard for us to find him."

When Zhao Jia heard the voice, his hair stood on end. He subconsciously looked back and found a Luowang killer standing on a big tree not far away.

As for Zhao Jia, he was surrounded by spiders. As long as Zhao Jia made any unusual movement, these poisonous spiders would bite him mercilessly and kill him.

"Having offended the Grand Commandant, does Gongzi Jia still want to leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luowang's assassins appeared in the shadows and surrounded the civil servants who wanted to escape.

Zhao Jia's escape plan and the civil servants' plan to make a comeback were completely shattered.

At dawn, Gongsun Ce looked at Zhao Jia in front of him and smiled playfully, "Here comes my brother."

"I wonder how General Gongsun plans to deal with us?"

“Make the most of everything.”

Zhao Jia felt creepy when he saw Gongsun Ce, who seemed to be smiling.

Gongsun Ce clapped his hands, "Li Xin, Wang Li."

"I will be here!"*2
"Take these civil officials home and confiscate their property. If they have livestock on their farms, just slaughter them and share them among the soldiers."

"Yes!"*2
Wang Li and Li Xin led the group of civil servants away. At this time, Gongsun Ce continued to issue orders, "Where is the Dark Spider?"

"Luowang Earth-level assassin Ming Zhu greets the commander."

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "You have done a good job, and the merit points will be added. Also, inform Nei Shi Teng that the replacement plan has begun."

"Yes!"

The Dark Spider is the leader of the Zhao State's Luowang, but because his strength has not reached the master level, he has not become a top-level killer.

At this time, when Ming Zhu heard that the merit points had been credited, there was a hint of joy in his tone.

After the Dark Spider left, the Luowang forces of Zhao and Han began to take action.

Gongsun Ce looked at Zhao Jia and smiled, "Spiritual Words: Hypnosis."

Zhao Jia's eyes suddenly became confused, and Gongsun Ce began to hypnotize Zhao Jia.

"Who is you?"

"I am Zhao Jia, the son of Zhao State and former crown prince."

"No, you are Gongsun Ce's subordinate, and you will obey Gongsun Ce completely."

"Yes, I am Gongsun Ce's subordinate, and I will obey his orders completely."

Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, and when Zhao Jia woke up, he looked at Gongsun Ce with eyes full of loyalty and fanaticism. "Meet the Master."

Gongsun Ce was very satisfied with the effect of hypnosis, and then he told Zhao Jia about his arrangements.

“Tomorrow, you will go to Daicheng. After arriving in Daicheng, you will summon all the people in Zhao State who are loyal to the Zhao royal family to resist the Qin army.

However, your real purpose is not to fight against Qin, but to help Qin eliminate the anti-Qin forces in Zhao."

"Yes!"

Zhao Jia responded quite decisively, as if he was not the former legal heir of the State of Zhao.

Gongsun Ce was quite satisfied with the result, but he was quite worried about Zhao Jia's military ability, so he needed someone to assist Zhao Jia to complete this strategy of catching the turtle in the jar.

Portraits of Qin's older generals were everywhere, so Zhao Jia could not have older generals assist him and could only choose young generals.

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and thought of Meng Tian’s younger brother Meng Yi. Ying Zheng’s training direction for the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi was to give and take.

While Meng Tian led the troops outside, Meng Yi served as Ying Zheng's suggestion box and gave him advice and suggestions.

Especially during the recent attack on Zhao, when Ying Zheng read the military reports, he would let Meng Yi watch and express his opinions.

Meng Yi's views at this time were still relatively immature, and Ying Zheng himself was rather arbitrary, so Ying Zheng just listened and did not adopt Meng Yi's suggestions. However, everyone could see the intention of cultivating and getting close to him.

However, no matter how much Ying Zheng wanted to train Meng Yi, he could not refuse Gongsun Ce's request.

Several carrier pigeons left Handan, and ten days later, Meng Yi arrived in Handan without stopping at all.

"Meng Yi meets the Grand Commandant."

Gongsun Ce sat on the throne of King Zhao and waved to Meng Yi, "No need to be polite, I'm meeting the young master Jia next to you. You will be working with him for some time in the future."

Meng Yi took a quick look at Zhao Jia and found that Zhao Jia was in good spirits and did not look like he had been tortured.

Moreover, Meng Yi knew very well that Zhao Jia was highly regarded within the State of Zhao, and Zhao Jia himself was once the legal heir of the State of Zhao. How could he possibly commit treason?
Zhao Jia noticed Meng Yi's expression and immediately bowed to him, "Greetings to this young general. Jia has now surrendered to the great Grand Commandant Gongsun.

I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise leader. Now that I have seen the Grand Commandant, I feel that glory has suddenly appeared before my eyes. I feel that following the Grand Commandant Gongsun is a wise move, and I am honored..."

Seeing that Zhao Jia wanted to continue flattering him, Gongsun Ce interrupted Zhao Jia in time and said, "Time is limited, so don't talk about it for now. Go back and write a book. I will publish it."

Zhao Jia shut up obediently, Meng Yi looked at him in amazement, and then Gongsun Ce began to tell Meng Yi his specific task.

"Meng Yi, your mission is to follow Zhao Jia to Daicheng, gather the anti-Qin forces and then capture them all in one fell swoop. Wang Jian will send people to cooperate with you in a few fake battles.

As for your identity, Luowang has already arranged it. You are born in Zhao, one of the three surnames of Qu, Jing and Zhao in the State of Chu. However, because you admire Qu Yuan, you gave up Zhao and took it as your name.

And because you wanted to achieve great things, your name was Zhan Zhao.

In addition, your goal this time is to catch the rats in Zhao State, so your code name is Royal Cat and my code name is Husband, so we can keep in touch."

Gongsun Ce clapped his hands, and Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu walked into the hall.

“These four people were originally Fusu’s guards, and no one knows them, so you can bring them with you as helpers.

Their names are Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu. They are all from military backgrounds and are quite capable. You can use them as appropriate.

Well, brave man Meng Yi, you have accepted the mission, take your team and start-up funds to Daicheng!"

Meng Yi was silent for a moment, then left Handan and headed for Daicheng with Zhao Jia, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

After Meng Yi left, Wang Jian entered the hall. Wang Jian bowed to Gongsun Ce and said, "Greetings, Grand Commandant."

Gongsun Ce was not surprised by Wang Jian's arrival. Gongsun Ce could understand Wang Jian's thoughts. Although Wang Jian wanted to escape unscathed and live out his retirement in peace, he also wanted to fight for a future for Wang Li.

After all, Wang Ben is not as good as Wang Jian, and Wang Li is not as good as Wang Ben. The prestige and wealth accumulated by Wang Jian may not guarantee prosperity for generations to come.

However, Meng Tian had the potential to surpass his father Meng Wu.

However, Gongsun Ce really wanted to tell Wang Jian that he was overthinking it. Judging from the subsequent momentum of the Taiyuan Wang family, it was their Wang family that was doing better.

"I know the old general's intention very well. How about letting Wang Li participate in the home exchange plan?"

Facing Gongsun Ce's straight ball, Wang Jian felt a little uncomfortable, as officials would not be so direct.

Social skills, business dealings, being good at dealing with people... these qualities have nothing to do with Gongsun Ce.

After all, Gongsun Ce could empty the national treasury with just one word from Ying Zheng, so there was no need to pursue these interests which might not be that big.

Wang Jian originally wanted to pay the price, but now he didn't know whether he should pay it or not. The fields, cattle and sheep, livestock, pearls and jade, and other treasures...

Gongsun Ce smiled and glanced at Wang Jian, "If you want to give, give. If you don't want to give, it doesn't matter. Just follow your heart. After all, I really don't need it."

Gongsun Ce's sincerity made Wang Jian determined to give him a gift, as he knew very well that free things are the most valuable.

"Time is up."

At this time, Gongsun Ce looked up at the dome, as if looking at the sky through the barrier of the roof.

"Wang Jian, listen to my order. Surround this place and don't let anyone in, not even Zi Nu and Fu Su who came with me."

"promise!"
