Chapter 163, The Trouble of the Henchman 1
At this time, Fan Ju and Ziyi were like ants on a hot pot, so anxious that they couldn't sit still. The fine work sent to Xingping had already returned, talking about Wang Jian being arrested, Fan Ju put down a big stone in his heart, and felt at ease for a few days, but he just got up early in the morning, and heard that Wang Jian had returned to the city, and now he was so anxious that he almost vomited blood, and hurriedly inquired, saying that Wang Jian had gone to see the King of Qin.
Fan Ju knew that it was not good, Wang Qian's strength alone would definitely not be enough to smash the anti-prison and rush out of Xingping City, someone must have saved him, no one in the Qin army in Xi'an had ever left the city, so it must have been in vain to save him.
If Wang Jian is rescued by Bai Qi, Bai Qi will inevitably tell Fan Ju's conspiracy together, and it is very likely that he will come in person. That's a hassle.
He hurriedly asked, when he heard that it was only Wang Jian who came back, his heart was a little relieved, and at this time Ziyi also came, and the two discussed it, and felt that the problem was not too serious. Because as long as the two of them bite to death, it will be Bai Qi's betrayal of the Qin army, and the king of Qin will have no evidence to refute it. What's more, Bai Qi escaped from the Qin camp and never came back, and set up another mountain, which is the biggest evidence of rebellion.
Fan Ju felt that it was precisely because of this that Bai Qi did not dare to come back.
A military general is a military general, and compared with him, an unborn strategist, it is normal for him to have a poor brain.
At this time, an order was passed down in the army, and Bai Qi betrayed Daqin, removed him from his position as a general, and replaced him with Wang Qian.
The hearts of the two were completely settled.
But they really don't know the King of Qin, when this emperor of the ages doesn't do it, you won't even feel the breeze that starts at the end of Qingping, but when you do it, it is the momentum of thunder, Mount Tai presses the eggs, and the hurricane urges the wood.
The fate of Chang Yu and LĂź Buwei is the best proof.
Now that the foreign enemies have been removed, the King of Qin feels that it is time to focus on the unity and stability within the Qin army.
He never forgot the arrow that shot at Sun Mengdie.
At this time, of course, Li Yan also heard this order, he was different from Fan Ju Ziyi and others, those two people had ghosts in their hearts, and when Li Yan heard the order, he was more confused.
He didn't look for King Qin, nor did he look for Wang Qian, because since King Qin's order had been issued, if he asked anything, King Qin would not say, as for Wang Qian, he didn't have a deep friendship with him, so he had to find his brother-in-law, Li Kang.
These days, because he has been busy fighting the enemy, so Li Dare has not had many opportunities to meet his brother, today's New Year, the whole city celebrates, he is trying to come to find his brother, coincidentally, Li Yan sent someone to invite first. Li Dang was overjoyed, cleaned up, put on new clothes and came to Li Yan's residence.
Li Yan lived in the house of a rich man who had escaped at this time, this rich man did not have much money, he could only be regarded as a rich man, there was a house on the street, Li Yan had already set up wine and food in the living room, and when he saw his brother coming, the two of them saluted and sat down.
Since the two of them don't have a family, and they don't need servants, everything is simple, just sit and drink, Li Yan doesn't have a lot of small cups, Li Dare doesn't care about those small cups, he uses bowls.
The two of them talked about their parting feelings first, and they drank happily, and Li Yan slowly turned the topic to Wang Jian and Bai Qi.
Li Kang was also about to talk to his brother about these things, because the two of them had experienced the turmoil of being betrayed together, so they were in a similar mood. Li Kang didn't quite believe that Bai Qi would betray the Qin army, because these Qin soldiers' reverence for Bai Qi was from the bottom of their hearts, and Bai Qi had never fought a battle for other countries in his life, such a person, the Qin people admired it very much. Therefore, Li Dare didn't believe that as soon as Bai Qi came back to life, he would betray Great Qin.
Li Yan has his own ideas, he still thinks that Bai Qi must have been involved in this matter, even if he is not the mastermind, he may be wrapped up in it and coerced by others to do so. After all, the current Qin army is nearly a hundred years later than the era when Bai Qi lived, and Bai Qi only has prestige in this army, and has no cronies. Therefore, as long as a leader is elected in the army and jointly coerced Bai Qi, Bai Qi has no choice.
Soldiers, pay attention to feelings. The next general who fell from the sky, even if it was Bai Qi, he had never seen it, he had never been commanded by him, let alone killing the enemy together, drinking wine and eating meat together. Such a relationship is very fragile.
The two exchanged their thoughts, and their hearts were a little heavy, in Li Kang's opinion, Bai Qi didn't dare to come back, which was too unfavorable, and it became unreasonable to be reasonable. But Li Yan thought about it deeper, he had already thought that because Fan Ju was still a phase, it made sense that he would not come back.
As for Bai Qi leading his troops to attack Jingbian, Wang Jian told the King of Qin, and the King of Qin strictly ordered him not to tell anyone, so no one in the Qin army knew about it.
The two drank a meal of wine, and did not come to a conclusion, Li Yan only vaguely felt that the king of Qin seemed to be different from when he was in Huayin, at that time, the king of Qin generally did not care about anything, the military aspect was handed over to Bai Qi Wang Qian, and the political aspect was handed over to Zhang Yi Fan Ju, and he generally did not express his opinions, but after occupying Xi'an this time, the king of Qin began to strengthen the control of the Qin army, and he even went to the military camp to inspect on the first day of the new year, which made the Qin army greatly moved, and the voice of long live was endless.
All this shows that the King of Qin has sensed the danger, he can't let himself be overthrown by his ministers, and now the Qin army only has this little bit of people, if it is overridden again, it will be very dangerous.
There is another point, which also makes Li Yan a little uneasy, King Qin's recent series of actions, as if to indicate that something big will happen, in the next two days, King Qin appeared more and more often, and he also ordered Li Dare to secretly strengthen the guard force of the Governor's Palace, but did not look for people from the Qin army, but let some new strong men dress up as ordinary people and patrol the surroundings.
Li Yan felt that all this was too unusual, he had read the deeds of this Qin Shi Huang countless times from the history books, and he knew that one day in the near future, something big would happen in the city of Xi'an.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the King of Qin sent Wang Jian to attack at night and capture Xianyang. Originally, Xianyang also had defenders, but as soon as the defenders came to know, Hong Chengchou's siege a few years ago caused a lot of losses to the Qin army in Xi'an City, and the city wall was also collapsed, and it would definitely take a while for the Qin army to recover. The second is also because the New Year has arrived, there are reports that the Qin army began to raise the city to celebrate the New Year, combined with the above two points, the Xianyang defenders believe that the Qin army will not be able to attack the city in a short time.
Unexpectedly, on the night of the third day of the first lunar month, King Qin sent Wang Jian to lead 3,000 light troops to raid Xianyang. Although Xianyang City was the capital in the era of Qin Shi Huang, but for more than a thousand years, it has long lost its status as an important town, the city wall is not high, and there are not many guards.
The Qin army is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and everyone takes the lead, because they all know that the land they are stepping on now is the former capital, and in the heart of the Qin army, Xianyang is the hometown.
This battle went very smoothly, before dawn, the defenders in the city had been killed in all directions, and even the guards fled, Wang Jian ordered not to chase and kill, it was important to occupy the city first.
After dawn, Wang Jian sent someone to report to the king of Qin. When the king of Qin heard that Xianyang had taken it, he was very excited, and he wanted to go to Xianyang in person to have a grand ceremony to worship the ancestors, and at the same time, he had already thought about it, and he would be the king again in Xianyang.
Although the King of Qin also called himself the king in the past, this title has never been announced to the public, unlike the king Gao Yingxiang, the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the world, He Jin, the king of sweeping the floor, Zhang Yichuan and others, in the eyes of the king of Qin, the kings in the mouths of these peasant armies are just a group of grass kings, rabble, varied, not worth mentioning.
The order was quickly conveyed to Wang Qian, and now Wang Jian suffered, Xianyang City has passed nearly two thousand years, so many years of endless wars, chaos and fierceness, Xianyang City has long been without a trace of the shadow of the year, if you want to worship your ancestors, you can't even find the tomb.
The Qin people's temple has been destroyed by Xiang Yu, plus so many years of time Ren Ran, the years have passed, and there is no trace of it, what can I do? Fortunately, the entourage handed him a letter from the King of Qin, and Wang Jian opened it and looked at it, and then he was relieved.
The letter was written by the King of Qin, and he ordered Wang Jian to find the largest and best house in the city, as the temple of the Qin people, and put the tablets of all the 36 generations of Qin monarchs there. As long as you worship the spirit card, you can be regarded as having your wish fulfilled.
