After killing Hu Hai, there were no more fetters in Xianyang City that could prevent Zhao Gao from becoming king. Now, the only thing that worries Zhao Gao is left is General Zhang Han, who has an army of more than 200,000 troops.

Now that the two armies of Qin and Zhao are holding each other on the front line of Hangu Pass, Zhang Han has no time to look westward, but when the Zhao army retreats, he is far from being Zhang Han's opponent, but what should he do? In order to be able to ascend the throne smoothly, Zhao Gao secretly sent an envoy to Zhao Kuo's army, hoping to fight with Zhao's army before and after and annihilate Zhang Han. Afterwards, Zhao recognized Zhao Gao as the king of Qin, and the two countries were reconciled from then on, never using swords.

After reading Zhao Gao's secret letter, Zhao Kuo immediately asked people to arrange for the envoy to rest in the camp temporarily, and then all the generals and generals were summoned to the shogunate's big tent, and after the generals circulated the secret letter, Zhao Kuo went straight to the point and said: "How do you think you should reply to Zhao Gao?" ”

Adjutant General Sima Shang took the lead in saying: "Zhang Han has won two battles in a row against our army, and his morale is flourishing. The last general thought that it was better to accept Zhao Gao's request, recognize his position as the king of Qin, and meet before and after the attack, annihilating Zhang Han's prisoner army in one fell swoop. "The battle to destroy Qin is the last battle for Zhao to unify the world, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhao Kuo specially transferred Sima Shang from the Yunzhong camp this time.

After hearing this, General Zhou Bo shook his head again and again and said: "This matter is very important, it is not up to us to decide, and we must play the king, please make a decision!" After the destruction of Chu, Han Xin was worshiped by King Zhao as a general because of his merits, Huaiyin Jun, and Zhao Kuo was on an equal footing. After that, Han Xin, under the instruction of Liu Bang, placed a large number of generals who obeyed Liu Bang's orders into the Zhao army, only saying that the twenty-one generals under Zhao Kuo's account now include Zhou Bo, Peng Yue, Guan Ying and other twelve people from Liu Bang's disciples.

"General Zhou is right! Please consider it at the discretion of the Admiral! "The great achievement of destroying Qin Huanghuang, how can Zhao Kuo be allowed to swallow it alone? As soon as Zhou Bo's words fell, Peng Yue and the others invariably agreed.

"Never! "Sun Tzu" cloud, the king's fate is not affected! Handan round trip for at least half a month, the opportunity is fleeting, miss today's regret of the night! Sima Shang immediately objected.

"Sima Shang! Ru Yue is acting on behalf of Yu Yu, and he is willing to allow the king of Qin to Yu Zhao Gao, what is his intention? Zhou Bo was not to be outdone.

Sima Shang was immediately anxious when he heard this, he got up and roared: "The old man has been loyal for decades, and the world can learn from it!" Promise Zhao Gao is just an expedient measure, and when Zhang Han is overthrown, our army can move westward and take Xianyang directly! ”

"You don't have to fight anymore! The situation in Xianyang is confusing, and the army must not move recklessly! And sent Zhao Gao's letter to Guanqian and handed it to Zhang Han, and at the same time replied to Zhao Gao, allowing him to ask! I'll just wait and see what happens. Zhao Kuo waved his hand to interrupt everyone's argument, and then said slowly word by word.

Sima Shang and other generals from the Jiuyuan Border Army immediately clasped their fists and said, "The last general obeys the order!" "And the rest of the generals are you look at me, I look at you, and after a moment they reluctantly arched their hands......

The envoy soon returned to Xianyang with Zhao Kuo's reply, and while delighted, Zhao Gao immediately summoned his ministers and announced his identity as a descendant of the Ying royal family. Although the ministers were suspicious, they still rushed to bow their heads to congratulate them, and no one dared to raise the slightest criticism. The compliments of the ministers made Zhao Gao a little fluttering, so he canonized Zhao as the prime minister and general in the palace, and set the date of the enthronement ceremony three days later.

After the meeting dispersed, Zhao Gao drove straight to the Taimiao. He decided to bathe and fast here for three days as a sign of piety.

At the same time that Zhao Gao entered the Taimiao, the only remaining son surnamed Ying in Xianyang City also launched an action.

Ziying took advantage of the fact that Zhao Gao's henchmen were busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony and had no time to take care of other gaps, so he sent people to sneak out of Xianyang overnight, urging General Zhang Han to immediately support troops into the court to ask about politics. At the same time, Ziying asked his two sons to secretly recruit swordsmen in the city in case of emergency.

Ziying is the younger brother of Yingzheng, when Zhao Gao massacred the Ying royal family, Ziying happened to be sent by Fusu to Longxi to inspect and did not return, so he escaped. Afterwards, although Zhao Gao also wanted to get rid of Ziying as soon as possible, he thought about it again, since Ziying returned to Xianyang, he has been living in a simple place and does not ask about any political affairs; Moreover, after several killings, the Ying royal family has been almost cut off by himself, and if he kills Ying Ziying at this time, he will be completely saddled with the eternal notoriety of the royal family! In order to reduce the resistance when ascending the throne, Zhao Gao had no choice but to let go of Ziying.

At nightfall, Ziying quietly took her two sons and her confidant eunuch Han Tan to a stone secret room deep in the courtyard of the mansion. Looking at the flickering candle flame in front of him, Ziying said worriedly: "It is rumored that Zhao Gao sent an envoy to meet Zhao Kuo secretly, if the two sides reach an agreement, Zhang Han will return to the army, and he will be attacked from front to back!" I mean, the army of Hanguguan can't move anymore, and immediately recall the messenger and do it again! Although he knew that once Zhao Gao became the king of Qin, it would be extremely difficult to kill him in the future, but Ziying was still unwilling to take risks, after all, Zhang Han's prisoner army was already the last army of Qin in Guanzhong.

"Father! Why Zhanghan? There are 300 righteous people, and tonight they can enter the temple and kill the traitor! It was Ziying's eldest son, Yingheng, who spoke.

"Zhao Gaoquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and there are many minions, so the young son must not act recklessly!" Han Tan hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

"Then what do you say?" Ying Heng asked reluctantly.

"In my humble opinion, Zhao Jun will definitely not send troops to help." Han Tan raised his head and glanced at the confused eyes of Ziying's father and son, and then continued, "Zhao Kuo is afraid of Zhao Gao's notoriety, so he is bound to hesitate!" At this time, as long as Zhang Han led a thousand iron horses into the city, he could be taken by surprise and win with one blow! Zhang Han is a veteran of the war for a long time, how can this reason not be understood? Childe and relax. ”

"Then let's wait and see!" After listening to Han Tan's words, Ziying couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Three days later, at midnight, Zhang Han led three thousand iron horsemen to finally arrive at the city of Xianyang. The city gate immediately rumbled open, and under the guidance of Ziying, Zhang Han's soldiers entered Xianyang without blood.

"There are two ways to divide the soldiers! Please Gongzi lead 2,000 troops to Taimiao to kill Zhao Gao's old thief! The old man is arresting Zhao Gaoyu's party in the city! Zhang Han sat on his horse and ordered vigorously.

"Obey the General's orders! Come with me, everybody! Ziying shouted, immediately turned his horse's head, and led two thousand iron horsemen and hundreds of swordsmen to kill the Taimiao at a gallop. Hearing that Zhao Gao was going to be killed, soldiers and civilians continued to join the team along the way, and when they came to the Taimiao, there were about 20,000 people gathered behind Ziying.

The three-day fast had already exhausted Zhao Gao, and at this time he was dozing off in front of a large case in the Taimiao Zhai Palace. In the midst of the shouting and killing, Zhao Gao suddenly woke up, but he didn't know what was happening outside.

Surprised, Zhao Gao hurriedly got up and walked out of the palace, but saw that the gate of the temple had been opened, and the tide of people surrounded Zhao Gao tightly in only a moment.

"Thou ...... What have you done? Zhao Gao stared at the angry eyes of the people around him in fear, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Zhao Gao is a thief! Everybody gets it! Kill me! Hearing Ziying's roar, everyone rushed up almost at the same time, chopping Zhao Gao into a meatloaf in an instant.

In the midst of the cheers, I saw a Qin army armor soldier suddenly stumbling in from the outside, "Gong...... Son! Big...... Big things are not good! Zhao ...... Zhao Jun has entered the city! ”

"What's ...... Extremely? Ziying only felt dizzy in front of her.

It turned out that Zhang Han had just left on his front foot, and Sima Xin, the deputy general who stayed at Hangu Pass, and Dong Peng, the lieutenant, surrendered Zhao Kuo. Under the guidance of 200,000 descendants, Zhao Jun quietly followed Zhang Han all the way to the outskirts of Xianyang. After some rest, the Zhao army launched a fierce attack on Xianyang, and the city was already in chaos at this time, and within a while, the four gates of Xianyang fell into the hands of the Zhao army.

"Where is Zhang Han?" After listening to the battle report, Ziying clenched her teeth, and finally made a sound from her mouth.

"The royal city is lost, the general is under siege, and his life and death are unknown!" The armor was still sighing, and the child had already fallen under the horse with a grunt.

"Han Gong, how is it good?" Ziying opened his eyes slightly, looking at Han Tan and his two sons around him distractedly.

Han Tan held Ziying and choked up: "The general trend has gone, only temporarily surrender to Zhao, and keep Sheji to make a future picture......"

"Drop?" Ziying closed his eyes with difficulty, and after a long time, he finally nodded weakly, "That's it, that's all." Annoyed Han Gong made a hard trip, and agreed with Zhao Kuo on the detailed rules for surrendering. ”

"No." Han Tan got up and bowed deeply to Ziying, then turned his head to push aside the crowd, sighed and took the order.

With the long ringing of the bell in the temple, Ziying was supported by his two sons and slowly stood up, he tearfully glanced back at the black crowd behind him, and then took a step and stumbled towards the main hall of the sacrifice.

"The thirty-seventh generation of Great Qin's Jun Yingzi is on the throne! Announcing the ...... of the ancestors and ancestors" A hoarse and mournful cry resounded throughout the temple in an instant......

In the early morning of the next day, in the rising sun, the child and the white horse walked out of the Taimiao with Wang Xi hanging around his neck. Looking at the last King of Qin who was faltering from afar, Zhao Kuo, who was standing solemnly on the chariot, suddenly fell into deep thought.
