Chapter 62: Ambush on All Sides
Chendi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the dark night, surrounded by mountains and forests, there was a whisper.
"Xiaolong, is Long Xiu ready there?"
Xiang Shaoyu stood beside the big tree, looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, and asked.
"Since Fusu's disappearance, Zhao Gao has supported Hu Hai to ascend to the throne. However, the eighteenth prince of Great Qin was not popular, and his harsh governance was tyrannical, and at this moment, outside of Chen Di, a group of princes who were attached to him were already at odds with each other. As long as we attack Chencheng tonight and raise the banner of anti-Qin, the Kwantung princes will inevitably respond. Brother, it's all ready! ”
Long He crawled beside Xiang Shaoyu and said.
The situation is very delicate. Xingyang City was defeated, the rebels of the princes of all walks of life were entrenched in various places, and they did not belong to each other, although they respected the court of Chen Di on the surface, but in fact the princes of all walks of life did not obey the control, and even could not listen to the tune or not listen to the announcement.
Hu Hai is not a Fusu, he does not have such a clever ruling skill, nor does he have such great prestige, plus he is harsh in governance, he is a group of old ministers of Fusu in Chen Di, and tens of thousands of defenders have signs of detachment.
In order to deal with the Xiongnu and Yueshi, the Qin court in Guanzhong used a large number of troops and resources on the border of the Great Wall and the Western Regions, and the pace of invasion of the eastern part of the country slowed down.
"Things are dangerous, but there is no way back!" Xiang Shaoyu said.
The elite of the Chu army was exhausted, and Xiang Shaoyu only had 8,000 Jiangdong disciples, and he had to rely on these 8,000 people to capture Chen Di and destroy Chen Di's court, and then he could raise the banner and call on all the princes to gather under his command to oppose Qin.
Otherwise, no matter how brave Xiang Shaoyu is, no matter how good the soldiers under his command are, they are not destined to be Ying Ziyi's opponent.
From Chendi to Guanzhong, or through Nanyang, or through Xingyang, no matter which one, you have to face hundreds of cities, countless guards and soldiers of the Qin army, and the dangerous passes, with his 8,000 men, it is impossible to break through no matter what.
Therefore, Xiang Shaoyu needed righteousness, or an excuse, an excuse that could order the Kwantung princes to go west.
Destroy Qin!
"The farmer is here to help, and Jibu Yingbu's soldiers and horses are ready, ready to respond to us at any time!" Long said.
"That's good! We can only wait, waiting for the signal in the city!" Xiang Shaoyu muttered.
…….
Chen Di, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Gao sat in the middle of the house, holding a roll of bamboo slips. It's just that he can't read the content in this bamboo slip.
After many years, he is already an old man with gray temples. It's just that although he is old, Zhao Gao's ambition has never been extinguished, and his obsession with rights has never been put down.
Only this time, he had a faltering helplessness. Although the Qin army's offensive slowed down, the victory and defeat were very obvious. The offensive of the Qin army has changed from whale swallowing to encroachment, recruiting a city today, and another city tomorrow, in the long run, not to mention the defenders of Chendi, even the princes from all walks of life who have a deep enmity with the Qin court, I am afraid that they will also be shaken.
Zhao Gao is a villain, but a villain does not mean that he has no talent. Otherwise, he would not have been reused by Emperor Qin for so many years.
At this moment, Zhao Gao had a sense of exhaustion from the bottom of his heart. Every day, he had to spend his brains in the court to appease Hu Hai, and downward, he also had to arrange the army to defend and encircle the princes from all walks of life, so as not to let them move closer to Yingziyi.
It's just that although Zhao Gao tried his best, there were still a large number of homeless people running towards the territory of Emperor Yingzi every day. Some border cities have even been emptied, and even the officials in the government have fled.
There was a sound outside the house, Zhao Gao woke up from his contemplation and asked, "Is it Long Xiu?" ”
In the corridor outside the house, a long sword pierced into Long Xiu's body, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, and soon, he lost his voice.
The door of the house slowly opened, and a small figure walked in from the porch.
The first moment he saw this figure, Zhao Gao's small eyes narrowed.
"Who are you?"
"The net is pervasive. This name, Lord Zhao Gao should not be unfamiliar with it! "Walking into the room was a man who described himself as short, and it was one of the top masters under Yingziyi, the monkey.
"You're a person who is a young man!" Zhao Gao was suddenly alert, Huo De stood up suddenly, and said in shock.
"Lord Zhao Gao, don't bother, all the guards in the mansion have been solved by us." As the monkey's voice fell, more than a dozen powerful breaths instantly appeared outside the house.
"How did you do that?" At this moment, Zhao Gao had a feeling of being surrounded by a group of fierce beasts.
"Huh! Lord Zhao Gao, so far, don't you understand? "The monkey was patrolling around Zhao Gao, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry." From the very beginning, you had no chance of winning. The original wedding banquet, even if it was convenient for Fusu to gather power, but from another point of view, it was also convenient for our people to infiltrate the old clan forces of the Six Kingdoms! This city is already full of holes. Of course, among them, the help of Lord Zhao Gao and Hu Hai's son is naturally indispensable! ”
To a certain extent, the nature of the Kanto region, the disappointment of officials at all levels with the tyranny of various princes, and the disappointment of the Chendi court are the reasons for the success of the large-scale infiltration of the net.
The people of Kanto hoped to return to the feudal system because of a lot of propaganda from the old Confucianism and the propaganda of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
However, the truth is brutal. When the people of Kanto really returned to the feudal system they hoped for, the life they hoped for did not come. On the contrary, the successive military defeats of the various princes led to a sharp increase in military spending. In order to maintain their own survival, the princes of all walks of life began to levy and extort violently, and they were reckless.
It was not without thought that the princes would lighten the burden by plundering. However, the huge empire, the long Yellow River, is an iron curtain that separates the troops of all the princes.
The princes are fighting, and in this huge Central Plains, the law and order are rapidly decaying, the roads are full of bones, and the people are not clothed.
On the other hand, under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, through large-scale tuntian, the empire began to stabilize economically, and won one after another militarily. Although the people under his rule are still not rich, they are able to eat and clothe for two meals, which is much better than the people of Kanto, both spiritually and materially.
In contrast, the people of the Kanto region fled to the counties under the empire one after another. And officials all over the Kanto region also saw the benefits of the Qin Dynasty's county system.
In a word, the hearts of the people of the world return to Qin!
Zhao Gao looked at the appearance of the monkey and asked vigilantly, "In that case, why do you have to wait until now?" ”
"Chen Di is a bait that can catch those big fish!" After the monkey finished speaking, a faint fire in the sky rushed upward, and under the silent night sky, with this firelight, there was an uproar for a moment.
"Who is it?" Zhao Gao asked.
"Who else?" The monkey smiled and said, "Except for the Marquis of Dongchu, who else has the courage to go hundreds of miles in a row to seize this city at this moment?" But we still have something to do before he can take the city! ”
The murderous aura came with a murderous face, this was a danger that Zhao Gao had never felt.
……..
The hustle and bustle of troops surged from outside the city, and soon rescue infiltrated into the city. In just two hours of fierce battle, Xiang Shaoyu took control of the city wall and the palace, as well as the most important prime minister's mansion.
When Xiang Shaoyu besieged this place where Chen Di was issued by the decree, he only got a dazzling scene.
In this prime minister's mansion, there are no living people left at this moment, except for the corpses everywhere.
"Big brother, big brother!"
On the corridor, the heart-rending sound of the dragon surrounded Xiang Shaoyu's ears, but there was not much sadness in his heart.
Because, the door of the house was open, but the scene inside made him too late to grieve, and there were only doubts, deep doubts!
Who can kill a master like Zhao Gao? Moreover, looking at the appearance in the house, Zhao Gao had almost no power to fight back.
"Master Hou!"
A lieutenant came from the side and said with a hand. How's it going, Midnight? ”
"Neither Jibu nor Yingbu's troops arrived on time, and Hu Hai in the palace had already been assassinated. At this moment, in the city, there is a rumor that the Hou Ye killed the king. ”
Xiang Shaoyu is a smart person, so he naturally understands that things are out of control at this point. Xiang Shaoyu paced in this bloody room, and with every step, his body seemed to be tightened again. In the darkness, there is an invisible hand, manipulating all this.
Long Ji settled the corpse of his brother's Long Xiu, walked to Xiang Shaoyu's side, and asked, "Shaoyu, the situation is not right, or let's withdraw!" ”
"Master Hou, it's not good. There was a large army outside the city, and they had attacked so quickly that they had broken through the outposts we had set up on the perimeter. ”
When the night faded and the morning light shone through the earth, Xiang Shaoyu came to the city wall, but saw the army outside the city lined up, and the only Qin general at the head was Han Xin, whom he had fought with in Nanyang!
Han Xin rode on his horse, looked at Xiang Shaoyu above the city, waved his long sword, and said, "You are rebellious, don't descend early!" ”
Sure enough, it's you, Ying Ziyi!
Xiang Shaoyu stood on top of the city and clasped his hands tightly.
