Chapter 059: Everything is an illusion
The Xiongnu king Maodun was imprisoned in Xianyang, and the northern grasslands finally couldn't calm down. But Xiye (Meng Tian) couldn't be happy, he didn't forget Zhao Gao and Hu Hai who had escaped. Knowing that these two people have too much desire for power, they will not give up, and they may sneak back to Xianyang at any time, assassinate Fusu, and disturb Daqin.
Li Si was Zhao Gao's accomplice, the position of Prime Minister Zuo was taken away, and the public was shackled for several days in the court, consciously losing face, ashamed, and hateful.
Since Meng Tian pacified the Xiongnu, Fusu relaxed his surveillance of him. There are many of his comrades in the government and the opposition, and he is waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.
He learned that a strange man with high magic came from the direction of Kunlun Mountain, and told fortunes in Xianyang City, and it was said that the calculation was quite accurate. Li Si was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and his heart was full of joy, Ming'er had to meet this weirdo.
The next day, Li Si hurriedly had breakfast, changed into a tattered subordinate clothes, and went to the commercial street in the northwest corner of Xianyang City alone. As soon as I got there, I saw an old man in his 60s, sitting by the photo stall, his eyes slightly closed, lazily basking in the sun. It was still early, and there were no customers, so Li Si walked over lightly.
"Sir, please give the old man a hexagram, how about it?" Lees sat down.
The weirdo seemed to be a little deaf, didn't answer, and continued to snooze. Li Si grabbed a gold ingot from his sleeve and smashed it on the small table: "Old gentleman, fortune telling!" β
When the old man heard it this time, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Si carefully for a while, and then shook his head and said: "The guest officer is a rich and noble person, and he has achieved fame, so he doesn't need to be old and calculating. β
"Nonsense, I'm just a down-and-out old man, powerless and powerless, how can I be rich and rich?" Li Si scolded.
"Although the guest officer is in rags, he can deceive others, but he can't deceive me." The old man said with a smile, "When the guest officer came over, the old man concluded from your posture that you were a big official who was unwilling to be lonely, and you were on an errand in the Qin Palace, and you were once a smash hit, and the official was in a high position as prime minister for many years. β
Li Si couldn't help but be stunned, this old man is interesting, why don't I ask him to calculate my future: "Old man, can you make a friend?" β
"Don't dare. The guest officer has several sons, all of whom are princesses, and the eldest son is the county guard of Sanchuan, but unfortunately, the prosperity will decline. The old man sighed.
This is a fallacy. I don't have a son, I'm alone, and I'm at home. Lees refused to admit it.
"Guest officer, don't fool the old man. I know you're Li Si, and you've been upset lately, right? The old man lowered his voice and said, "Put away your ingot of gold, and the old man will give you a personal favor today, and give you a free life." β
Li Si insisted on not taking it back: "How can this be?" Isn't it too little, sir? β
"Definitely. The gold is too conspicuous, and who sees such a large ingot of gold on the body of a down-and-out man? The old man pushed the gold over, "I'm going to make an exception today and won't take a penny." β
Li Si had no choice but to accept the gold: "Sir, what is my lifespan?" β
"Your longevity is over, and you have a life span of seventy and seven. It's been the third year of Qin II, and you've died a lot. The old man pinched his fingers.
"No way, I just came out of the house and everything is fine. I met the emperor yesterday! Li Si broke out in a cold sweat.
"Guest, who do you see who I am?" The old man took off the hat on his head and took off the mask, which turned out to be a young man in his 20s.
"You are Luo Chang, Grandpa Luo?" Lees almost shouted.
"Shhhhhhh
"You said I was dead a lot, is that true?"
"No jokes. Please see-" Luo Chang lifted his mask, took out a mirror from his arms, and put it in front of Li Si's eyes, and Li Sheng saw himself in the mirror:
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, at the instigation of Li Si and Zhao Gao, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, became more extravagant and corrupt, and acted recklessly. In order to suppress the peasant uprising, he constantly requisitioned the people from Guanzhong to fight, causing a great burden to the people.
The anti-Qin uprising of the people of the whole country has been surging, and for the common interests of the ruling class, Li Si, the right prime minister, and the general Feng Zheng jointly played a joint performance, persuading the second emperor of Qin, Hu Hai, to stop building the Afang Palace and reduce some forced labor.
Qin II was feasting and drinking with the palace maids, and was very angry when he saw Li Si and others writing a book, and ordered them to be arrested and imprisoned. Feng Quji and Feng Zheng committed suicide in prison in order to "not be humiliated".
Li Si was lucky, and he went to the book many times in prison, but was detained by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao took the opportunity to say that Li Si and his son Li You had rebelled, and tortured Li Si to extract a confession. Li Si was forced to admit to rebellion and draw a confession, and Qin II ordered Zhao Gao to exterminate the Li Si clan.
In July of the second year of Qin II (208 BC), in Dongshi, the supervisor was Zhao Gao, and Li Si was beheaded in half, and he had not yet lost his breath: "Your Majesty, as soon as Li Si dies, Great Qin will die, and the winner will perish." β
Zhao Gaoyin walked over with a smile and sprinkled a large handful of salt on Li Si's waist: "Old Prime Minister, you can go with peace of mind, with Zhao Gao, Great Qin will be eternal for thousands of years!" β
Li Si fell to the ground with his hands and scolded Zhao Gao: "Those who refer to the deer as horses, Zhao Gao also." I'm a hypocrite, and I'm a real villain! The demon of Great Qin! β
"Die-" With a wave of Zhao Gao's long sword, Li Si flew a few feet away, and died of exhaustion......
Li Si grabbed the mirror and went crazy, his hands trembled: "Grandpa Luo, how did Zhao Gao die later?" Was my son Li You also killed by Zhao Gao? β
"Heaven must not be divulged." Rod Chang retracted the mirror.
"The old man wants to know how Zhao Gao's scene is, let me watch it for a while, and I'll ...... for a while" Li Si grabbed Luo Chang's sleeve tightly.
"Can't look, can't see...... Anyway, Zhao Gao didn't end well, and Li You died on the battlefield. Luo Chang still couldn't help but say it.
"Puff, puffβ" Li Si spurted blood, "That Gongzi Fusu and General Meng Tian are all illusions?" β
"Hmm."
"Great Qin Jin'er...... What the hell is going on? Lees' face became more and more ugly.
With a wave of Luo Chang's long sleeves, the giant deer battlefield immediately appearedββ
In December of the third year of Qin II, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to the Yellow River in the south of Julu County, and immediately sent Yingbu and Pu generals to lead 20,000 righteous troops to cross the river and rescue Julu.
After the two generals crossed the river, they won a small victory in the first battle, and Zhao general Chen Yu urged the troops again. Then, Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, led the whole army across the Yellow River and ordered the whole army to break the cauldron and sink the boat, burn the houses and tents, and only bring three days of rations, in order to show the determination to die if he is not victorious, and went straight to Julu with lightning speed, defeated the Qin army of Zhang Han to protect Yongdao, cut off the grain route of Wang Li's army, and surrounded Wang Li's army.
Xiang Yu's determination and courage played a great role in encouraging the soldiers. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's army, and all of them were in high spirits, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.
After nine fierce battles, in the third year of Qin II, the Chu army captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and the Qin general Shijian raised fire*, and the other Qin soldiers were killed or fled, and the Qin army besieging Julu collapsed in this way......
"Oh my God, Shaofu Zhanghan's 200,000 troops can't defeat a group of peasant troops, and I ...... ashamed" Li Si fell to the ground, "Father-in-law Luo...... You hurry to the giant deer...... Rescue Zhang Han. β
"Okay, I promise you, Prime Minister." Luo Chang responded. Strange to say, Li Si's body disappeared in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace......
Luo Chang raised his eyes at Xianyang City, it seemed to be peaceful, he knew that this was still the world of Qin II. Previously, Xiye and Jiuxiong fought for several years, and they were all imaginary, but the three of them also walked in the time and space tunnel, and they were addicted, and the time was still three years of Qin II.
The anti-Qin rebel armies in various places have been thinking about capturing Xianyang, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army have reached the outskirts of Xianyang, but they have been suppressed by Zhang Han, but now that he has met Xiang Yu, the god of war, life is not easy.
"Zhang Han is in trouble, do you want to help him?" Luo Chang put away the stall and muttered as he walked.
"Senior Luo, we have worked so hard to find you." Nishino came over panting. Jiuxiong also returned to his original state, still carrying double knives on his back, but Zhao Xianglan was gone.
"Where's Miss Xianglan?" Luo Chang asked.
She and Sister Caidie went back to Jingchu to cultivate. Caidie said, see you in the future. Nine Bears was frustrated.
"Are you in love with Zhao Gao's daughter?" Nishino quipped.
"No, it's just dΓ©jΓ vu, and there's an indescribable uncomfortable feeling." Jiuxiong replied with a smile.
"Lord Wang, are we going to Julu or to Beiping?" Luo Chang said.
"What are you doing to Julu? It's going to be a hot fight, and a lot of people are dying. Jiuxiong has been doing "Fusu" for several years, and his vision has broadened a lot, and he is disgusted with war.
"I'm afraid of death, aren't you?" Nishino will be nine bears.
"I'm afraid of a hammer, it's a big deal to die again." Nine Bears drew their twin knives.
"If you're not afraid, just go, go to the giant deer meeting Xiang Yu." Nishino flew forward.
A few people left Xianyang, found a few fast horses at the post station, brought some dry food to drink, and ran in the direction of Julu......
On the Julu side, Xiang Yu's army had little food, in order to completely break Zhang Han's illusion as soon as possible, he sent General Pu to lead the army to cross Sanhujin (ancient Zhangshui Ferry, southwest of now Zixian County, Hebei) day and night, cut off the return route of the Qin army, and led the main force to defeat the Qin army again, and then Xiang Yu broke Zhang Han on the sewage.
Under the heavy blow of Xiang Yu, Zhang Han was cornered and had to surrender to Xiang Yu with 200,000 of his troops at Yinxu (now Anyang, Henan) in July of the third year of Qin II (208 BC).
Xiang Yu sealed Han as the king of Yong, and named Sima Xin as the general, and led the surrendered Qin army as the vanguard to attack Xianyang.
Xiye heard this important news along the way and was excited: "Zhang Han is not dead yet, he surrendered to Xiang Yu, and his 200,000 army has been saved." β
"West Hero, something is wrong. Is Xiang Yu so kind? Luo Chang fiddled with the iron pen in his hand, "History records that these 200,000 Qin troops were killed in a pit." β
"Not necessarily, Sima Qian was not at the scene, maybe he was just hearsay." Jiuxiong believes that many historical facts are not necessarily true.
