Chapter 2889: Jing Tianming’s new invention, little people have no choice

Even with the presence of the two great masters A Qing and Huang Shang, and even with the cooperation of Li Da and other internal agents, the Qin army's food-burning operation was still extremely thrilling.

 The reason is simply that the defenses at Chenliu's underground grain depot were too tight.

With Cao Ren's careful precautions, he actually arranged for three thousand elite guards to guard the underground grain depot that could be defended by three hundred people.

Of course, the main reason why Cao Ren made such an arrangement was that there were too many troops in Chenliu City.

Since one thousand people and three thousand people have the same effect, for the sake of safety, he simply arranged three thousand guards to fill up the equipment once and for all.

The security force of Chenliu's underground granary must be top-notch, but no matter how strong the fortress is, it is difficult to withstand attacks from within;

The Qin army not only knew the password in advance, but also knew the specific underground route map and the key to open the granary door. Therefore, let alone three thousand guards, even thirty thousand were in vain.

 But the real difficulty in burning grain this time is that the granary is stored in sections. It is easy to burn a grain storage point, but you can only burn the grain in this grain storage point.

But as long as one grain storage point is set on fire, the granary guards will definitely notice it and then send out a call for help. It will be difficult to ignite other grain storage points. It is difficult to set the entire grain depot on fire at the same time.

After Ah Qing and Huang Shang saw the granary road map, they were both dumbfounded. They thought it was just a simple grain burning, but they didn't expect the difficulty to be so high. No one told them what to do when they came. ah?

Just when Ah Qing and Huang Shang were staring at each other, not knowing how to start, Ren Qianxing, the person in charge of Chenliu in Heibingtai, handed over the tips bag that Jia Xu had left in advance, and then the two big men The Grandmaster breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that they are afraid of being held accountable for failure. As Grand Masters, even if this operation fails, they are sure to escape from the city alive. But those who participated in this operation, the more than 200 spies lurking in Chen Liu Nei, are definitely dead. .

And if the food burning this time fails, it will also affect Bai Qi's subsequent forced surrender plan.

These two points are the reasons why the two of them are hesitant. Fortunately, Jia Xu has already thought about it for them in advance.

Jia Xu’s method is also very simple, that is, ignite the fire at the same time at exactly the same time, but then another question arises, how to tell the time? And you can't set off flares like fireworks underground.

There were no clocks in ancient times. Although there were solar corona and other clear timekeeping methods, they could not be carried, synchronized, and could not be accurate to the minute or second.

Under the confused gazes of Ah Qing and Huang Shang, Ren Qianxing asked his men to bring a wooden box, took out the instruments inside and explained: "Two adults, this object is called a pocket watch, and it is the latest product of Master Tianming, the giant of Qin Mo." Invention, it is said that engineers also participated in the research of pocket watches..."

Hearing this, Ah Qing quickly interrupted and urged: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what this watch can do?"

“Well, this thing can check the time and time, and the time can be accurate to the second. It is not only lightweight, but also easy to carry. Just twist the button on it to power the pocket watch, and it can accurately time for a day.”

After hearing this, both Ah Qing and Huang Shang were shocked. After all, compared to the bulky corona, the watch on Ren Qianxing's hand was too small and light, which naturally had a great impact on the two of them. .

Ah Qing took out a pocket watch from it. After opening it, he quickly figured out how to use it. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Jing Tianming, that kid, finally tinkered with something he owns. The invention of the pocket watch alone is enough for this kid." It is famous throughout history.”

Hearing this, Huang Shang couldn't help but nodded with envy.

Although this pocket watch is small, it is not even as big as a palm, but once it is released, it will completely change the way of keeping time in the past and bring convenience to everyone's life. This achievement alone is enough to leave Jing Tianming's name in the history books. .

At this time, Ah Qing and Huang Shang finally understood that this food-burning task was so difficult and seemed impossible to complete. But why did Bai Qi and Jia Xu send them here? It turned out that they had such a big killer weapon as a pocket watch. ah.

Jing Tianming’s original intention of inventing the mechanical pocket watch was naturally to facilitate the public’s time keeping, but Da Qin took the lead in using pocket watches in war.

There are ten grain storage points in Chenliu's underground granary, and Ren Qianxing prepared twelve pocket watches. After setting all twelve pocket watches to the correct time, Ah Qing, Huang Shang, and Ren Qianxing took two One hundred and fourteen Black Ice Platform spies started this food-burning mission.

Knowing the password in advance and the token given by Li Da, Ah Qing and his team disguised themselves as a grain transport team and easily entered the underground granary. Then they killed the guards at each grain storage point and then used the key to open the granary. 's door.

Every grain storage point in the underground granary is closely supervised by dozens of guards. With the two great masters A Qing and Huang Shang, and the master of the clan Ren Qianxing, it is naturally easy to deal with the guards, but it is rare. It is not exposed every time.

After solving six grain storage points in a row and more than 300 guards, Ah Qing and others were still discovered by the guards. After all, there is no way to transport food from the nearest grain storage point to the farther grain storage point. Transporting food? Isn’t this a matter of seeking the far distance at the expense of the near?

After being exposed, Huang Shang led people to guard the entrance to prevent people on the ground from coming in, while Ah Qing and Ren Qianxing quickly led people to other grain storage points and killed all the 500 guards in the grain depot. Da Qin On one side, only a dozen people died.

When the agreed time for setting fires arrived, following Ah Qing's order, ten grain storage points in Cao Wei's Chenliu Grain Depot were set ablaze at the same time, while Ah Qing and Ren Qianxing led the remaining people to join Huang Shang. , and forced a breakout.

After receiving the early warning, the guards on the ground did not know the true strength of the enemy and did not think there would be too many thieves in Chenliu City, so they did not ask for help immediately. Instead, they sent troops into the granary for support, intending to solve the problem on their own. Detailed work on the granary.

It was not until several subsequent attacks were easily repelled by Huang Sang that the ground guards realized that this group of thieves could not be dealt with by themselves, so they immediately sent a signal for help from the city, but it was obviously too late.

Ah Qing and Ren Qianxing acted very quickly. It only took less than half a stick of incense from being exposed to setting the fire. Even the reinforcements were still on their way over, and the fire had already started. The original reinforcements had become Become a fire fighter.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, neither the guards on the ground nor the reinforcements rushing over could care about Ah Qing and others, so that Ah Qing and others could easily break through.

After getting rid of the pursuers, Ren Qianxing took the 183 people who were still alive and fled back to the secret base in pieces, while A Qing and Huang Shang secretly sneaked into Li Da's residence.

The two great masters, Ah Qing and Huang Shang, cautiously visited a mid-level general of Cao's army. This was naturally to implement Jia Xu's alienation plan.

 Speaking of Li Da, we have to mention another person, his cousin Li Tong. Li Tong, also known as Wenda, also known as Wanyi, was a famous general of Cao Wei in official history. In this life, he joined Cao Cao early. His record was not outstanding, but he had participated in basically every battle, and he was considered a veteran on the battlefield.

In this era where the God of War is everywhere and the generals are inferior to dogs, Li Tong, whose military strength has barely reached the level of the first-level general, has no chance of getting ahead among Cao's army with so many masters.

But Li Tong has a big advantage, that is, he took the initiative to lead his troops to defect to Cao Cao when Cao Cao was in the most difficult time, and he made a great contribution to replenishing his troops. This was a timely help to Cao Cao at the time.

In addition, Li Tong did not forget his official duties for personal reasons, and did not interfere with the officials because of his wife's request. He was also loyal to Cao Cao. Therefore, he won Cao Cao's trust and was chosen by him as a general to suppress the Japanese. He led his army to stay in Ying. Zhou, assisting Cao Pi and Cao Zhang.

As Li Tong's cousin and his own strength, Li Da's career was very smooth. At a young age, he became a general and deputy general Cao Youwan.

 But with the capture of Xuchang City, Li Da's good days came to an end.

Li Tong and Li Da were both from Pingchun, Jiangxia, but after Li Tong became prosperous, he brought the whole family to Xuchang and integrated into the Yingchuan family.

Cao Cao moved the capital from Xuchang to Qiao County, and the families of most of the generals in the army moved there together, including Li Tong's family. However, Li Da, who was still low-ranking at the time, and many elders of the Li family did not. Not included in this.

After the fall of Puyang, Xuchang followed closely behind. This caused the families of many Cao Jun soldiers to fall into the hands of the Qin army, including Li Da's wife, children, relatives and friends, and many elders who watched him grow up.

 In response, Cao Cao chose to block the news and prepare to conduct an internal investigation to test the attitude of these people.

But then Bai Qi sent troops to Dingtao, which made Cao Cao completely forget about it. He was so anxious to go wherever he could to support Dingtao with his cavalry that night that he neglected the internal investigation, which allowed Li Da to escape the disaster. .

 Because Cao Cao deliberately blocked the news, and Li Da's troops had been staying in Chenliu, they did not know the news of the fall of Xuchang.

One day, when Li Da was performing official duties, he was suddenly bumped into by a beggar. When he returned home, he found three more letters in his pocket.

 The first letter was a letter from Da Qin persuading him to surrender. The content was probably that after the fall of Xuchang, Da Qin took good care of his family. Cao Wei was doomed, but Da Qin valued his talent and hoped that he would abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side.

 There is no compulsion in the whole article, but it makes Li Da's veins pop. After all, how can this be persuading to surrender? It was clear that he was using his family to intimidate him.

To put it nicely, it means abandoning the darkness and turning to the light. At worst, it means that you have been given a chance to survive. You don’t know how to praise yourself.

 After Li Da read the first letter, he opened the last two letters with trembling hands.

 The second and third letters were written in blood by Li Da's wife and uncle. Naturally, the content was to persuade him to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. If you seek death yourself, don't bring down dozens of members of the family.

After reading it, Li Da's face turned pale, and his mind was like a battle between heaven and man, but he soon made a decision, and left the military camp alone that afternoon, and went to the place designated by Da Qin for him to meet, thus embarking on the journey. On a road of no return.

Li Da originally thought that he had defected to the Qin Dynasty and helped the Qin Dynasty burn down the Chenliu granary. Such a great contribution would definitely be used by China, until Ah Qing and Huang Shang came to him and brought him three letters.

The first and second parts are letters written by Li Da’s wife and uncle. This time they are not written in blood, but they describe the preferential treatment given to their family by the Qin Dynasty after he agreed to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. His younger brother has joined the Qin army, and his uncle has been Exceptionally promoted to county magistrate.

Li Da felt relieved after reading it. Da Qin did not miss his word. Not only did he do what he promised, but he also did more than he promised.

But when he saw the third letter, Li Da was completely dumbfounded. This letter contained Jia Xu's new order, and Jia Xu actually asked him to commit suicide to frame Cao Youwan, thus completely forcing Cao Youwen and Cao Youwan brothers. Break up with Cao Ren.

Jia Xu also expressed his righteousness at the end that his sacrifice will bring about the progress of the unification of the Qin Dynasty, so he is a hero, and his son will also be the son of a hero. He will be trained by the Qin Dynasty and will have a bright future.

Jia Xu also promised Li Da that his contribution would be enough to earn him a title. Although he would not be able to enjoy it, his son would inherit everything he had.

It has to be said that Jia Xu's operation can be regarded as the ultimate use of being a **** and erecting a memorial arch. There is not a word of coercion in his letter, but he uses morality and family affection to kidnap Li Da and force him to die. Want the other person to be grateful to you.

 In a word, Da Qin did not break his promise, but the beneficiary of the glory and wealth he had promised was no longer Li Da himself, but his wife, children, and family.

After reading Jia Xu’s letter, Li Da slumped down on the chair with a miserable look on his face and a despairing heart.

He never imagined that after betraying his conscience, betraying his trust, betraying his cousin and good brother, he would end up like this.

 “I deserve it, I deserve it.”

Looking at the originally high-spirited Li Da, who suddenly became hopeless, Ah Qing knew how hard he had suffered, and couldn't help but feel touched in his heart. He wanted to express some words of comfort, but he didn't know how to speak.

Through this incident, Ah Qing gained a new understanding of Jia Xu. The methods in his hometown were too dark, vicious and despicable. He must keep her husband Bai Qi away from him, otherwise he would betray him and help him. Counting money.

I have to say that Jia Xu's plan this time was indeed a bit too despicable, which made Ah Qing and Huang Shang in the same camp unable to stand it.

As Jia Xu, there is no need to deliberately plot against Li Da. The reason why he used such despicable methods this time to intimidate, coerce, and even deliberately force a small person like Li Da to death was mainly because he had never treated Li Da. His life was in his eyes, and the dead Li Da was more useful than the living Li Da, so naturally he would be embarrassed.

 In troubled times, little people have no choice.
