Chapter 888: It's Time to End This Farce
On June 25, Li Si and his entourage had arrived at the waste hill.
Or understand that with the entry of Heifu, the court of Huhai has not lived for a few days, but the county order of the waste hill did not stage the drama of being ungrateful and tying up Li Si, but he joined forces with the county lieutenant and the county cheng, and very actively welcomed Li Si, Gongzi Jianglu and others into the waste hill, closed the city gate, and prohibited entry and exit.
Li Si also sent a notice to post a notice on the Abolition Hill Order, publicizing the news of Huhai's atrocities and the imminent arrival of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and calling on the ruins of the mound to go to the city to help defend the city.
This is really to hold high the "banner of righteousness" in the hinterland of Guanzhong, but what is surprising is that the people of the waste hill are not worried but happy......
"It shows how unpopular Hu Hai is."
Li Si commented like this, ignoring that it was his first plan and then the country's later planning that led to the ruin of the country's people.
However, it was only at this time that Gan Tang realized Li Si's true purpose, and couldn't help but be shocked and inexplicable: "Prime Minister, what does this mean?" We are just soldiers admonishing the king and evil ministers, not rebellion, which is not the same as saying good......"
Li Si did not hesitate, pointed at Gan Tang, asked the servant to take him down, and scolded:
"Son, how smart your father Ganluo is, but you are so confused!"
"If there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom, if there is no protection from Hu Hai, can Zhao Gao be unscrupulous and evil? Throughout the ages, there must be kings and evils first, and there must be traitors and calamities, and there must be King Zhou Li first, and Rongyi's father can succeed. If we want to eradicate Zhao Gao, we must first depose Hu Hai! From this point of view, the Marquis of Tongwu and the Marquis of Wuzhong seem to be enemies, but they are actually on the same path! ”
Gan Tang was dumbfounded, but he couldn't find a rebuttal.
Li Si waved his hand: "Send this son to prison, let him be alone for a few days, and understand this truth!" ”
After disposing of Gantang, Li Si, who had long been alive, ignored his old body and personally went to the city to overlook.
The waste mound is not in the north of Weishui, but in the south of Weishui, the site of Xi'an East Horse Fang, and its discovery in later generations actually made Xi'an Metro Line 5 have to be diverted - although the diversion of Xi'an Metro is commonplace......
The original name of the waste hill is the dog hill, opposite to the west dog hill, it is the east dog hill, the ancestor of the Qin State Feizi had been in this place for the king of Zhou to herd horses, when the king of Zhou Yi, Xirong invaded the pickaxe capital, and then moved the capital to the dog hill.
At present, the waste hill city is built on the basis of the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, the circumference is nearly five miles, the wall is high and the pond is deep, because it is the west gate of Xianyang, there is also an arsenal, and the county soldiers are more than the general small county.
But Li Si shook his head:
"This city is not good, the terrain is low-lying, if the enemy soldiers decide to flood it, it may be difficult to defend it!"
Li Si's worries were superfluous, because the pair of monarchs and ministers in Xianyang didn't have the time to send people to grind this rebellious city that was close at hand.
In the evening, it was late
That night, more than 3,000 people arrived outside the city of Wasted Hill and read out the Huhai pardon decree, saying that as long as the traitor Li Si was handed over, the rest would be innocent, and tried to make the Waste Hill Order open.
But all that responded to them was a burst of bows and arrows, and Hu Hai's edict, from the minister to the head of Qian, no one believed it for a long time.
This group of Lang Wei and Cai Shi then surrounded a corner of the city, and did not attack, Li Si was most worried not about them, but also located in Weinan, stationed in Du County, led by the 20,000 lieutenant army led by Nei Shibao, and Du County to the waste hill, just a day's journey......
In the early morning of the next day, the drowsy Li Si was woken up by Gongzi Jianglu.
"Woman, a large army has appeared outside the city!"
Li Si hurriedly climbed the city again under the support of people, and braved the night wind, but saw that a few miles east of the ruined hill, there was indeed a long procession, marching west along the Weishui, and roughly counted the torches, there were more than 10,000 of them......
"It's over, although this ruined mound city is solid, it can't withstand the siege of 10,000 people of the guard army......" Gongzi Jiang Lu's face turned pale.
Li Si was calm, like a statue of a stone beast standing at the head of the city, watching the army approach, arrive, but without stopping, straight to the west......
Gongzi General Lu and others were covered in cold sweat, but they were inexplicable, what does this lieutenant army mean by letting them "rebel city" not attack? Nei Shibao is also going black?
"There is something more important to the west than ours."
Lees smiled, he knew what that meant.
"Marquis Wuzhong's partial division, Han Xin and Hanzhong soldiers, have entered the Guanzhong!"
……
On June 26, the chaos in Xianyang had not yet ended, Qin Shi Huang had confidently not built the city wall, which made the current Xianyang City, into a leaking basket, princes, princesses, ministers, officials, and even the common people of Qian, people continued to flee outside the city, rumors flew, or Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao, or Li Si had been executed......
But the control of Duyi is indeed still in the hands of Lang Weijun and Hu Hai's trusted scholars, although he proposed to Hu Hai to punish all the princes and princesses, but Zhao Gao was not stupid enough to go door to door to arrest them, which would only cause greater chaos, and he asked people to send the sixth prince, the tenth princess and their families to Gaoling County, not far from Wangyi Palace, to be managed in a unified manner, so that Yan Le could be charged with Ju Zhi.
As for Zhao Gao himself, he was appointed prime minister by Hu Hai and has already touched the top of power.
"It's a pity that this son didn't sit for long."
Zhao Gao touched the prime minister's seal and sighed, if he had no choice, he didn't need to take refuge in the Six Kingdoms, although Xiang Yu, the commander of the Chu army, had reached a secret agreement with him, it was still unknown whether he would abide by it.
But the situation has reached this point, Zhao Gao has no choice but to go one way to the end!
He put down the seal and instructed his cronies:
"Tell the officials of Yunyang that the brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi who are imprisoned there can also wait for the opportunity to be executed!"
With Li Si's blatant treason and his retreat from the abandoned hill with a group of henchmen, Zhao Gao also understood that the general trend had gone and began to prepare to leave Xianyang, but at this time, Zhang Ao came to report:
"Prime Minister, something is wrong!"
"Is it Chen Cang's business?" Zhao Gao heard the news from the west early in the morning, a few days ago, Han Xin, the general of the Black Fu Department, led more than 20,000 divisions, took the old way, attacked Sanguan, killed the commander of Sanguan, defeated the 10,000 guards of the army, and captured Chencang County.
Just by looking at the name, you know that Chen Cang is famous for the grain of Yongcheng in Tun Zhouyuan, Han Xin has eaten the corn of Chen Cang, and waved his army eastward, as of the time when the news came, Han Xin had already arrived in Yu County, threatening Yongcheng, the western capital of Qin......
But Zhao Gao was not very worried, Nei Shibao had quickly mobilized the guards of Du County to the west to block it, at least it could block Han Xin for half a month, which was enough for Zhao Gao to complete the planning and hold Hu Hai hostage.
But Zhang Ao broke Zhao Gao's illusion: "It's not just Chen Cang!" ”
"Heifu has broken through the pass, and the soldiers are coming to Lantian ......"
Zhao Gao's face turned pale when he heard this: "How can the black thief be so fast!" ”
But think about it, it only took two days for Heifu to officially attack Wuguan, but after waiting in the place of business, the army food team has been grinding for a long time, and the danger of the pass is not as good as Wuguan, and it is good to be able to hold out for a few days.
As soon as the pass is broken, there is no natural danger in the pass, but a horse and a flat river, and now between Heifu and Xianyang, only Wang Li, Li Liang, and Sima Ying's 100,000 troops remain......
Zhao Gao scolded damned, and at the same time urged Zhang Ao:
"Quickly take someone to Hedong and tell General Xiang and Wei Xiang that Zhao Gao has prepared a boat on the big river as promised, and will slaughter the son of the Qin clan in the near future, and coerce Hu Haidong to Linjin, and ask General Xiang to cross Puban to enter the customs quickly, if it is a moment late, it will be late!"
……
Zhao Gao didn't know if the pass was scared by gunpowder, but the captain who guarded the pass was disheartened after hearing about the Xianyang accident, and he surrendered by himself.
When it comes to the heroes who broke through, Zhao Gao should be the first.
A day after the breakthrough, on June 27, Heifu arrived here with the army, since they left Shangluo, the road was rugged and difficult, until they crossed the pass of the Tsukaling Mountain Pass, the front suddenly brightened, farmland and houses became dense, and a stream of water rushed down from the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains, flowing slowly to the northwest.
This water is Ba Shui, the upper reaches of Ba Water are very clear, and the touch is cold. And from a distance, there are still many people on the riverbed digging with tools at the water's edge. When I got closer, it was a light blue jade mine, and the sun shone on it, looking hazy like cooking smoke, which was amazing......
Revisiting the old place, Heifu didn't have time to sigh urgently, Ji Ying had already brought the commander of the pass who surrendered to see him, and this military official in his fifties bowed down from afar, claiming to be the old man of Heifu.
"Are you my old friend?"
Heifu asked him to come closer, and after taking a closer look, he was not impressed.
"How do I not recognize you?"
"In the twenty-sixth year of the first emperor, the prince had been in Lantian, and the subordinate was the commander of the Lantian camp, and he met the prince when he was patrolling, and the prince was still the chief of the left at that time, and he wanted to go to the ancient battlefield a hundred years ago to see, but it was already a forbidden area of the camp, so he was ......blocked by me."
Du Wei lowered his head: "If you offend that day, I hope that the prince will forgive me!" ”
"I see, it's the old man."
Heifu himself doesn't remember much, but if he thinks about it carefully, it seems that there is really such a thing, at that time, he only saw from a distance that the camp of Lieutenant Lantian was neat, the flags were waving, and the sound of soldiers training was endless, and it was a more elite unit of the Qin State - the lieutenant army.
At that time, how could he have imagined that one day he would command a large army and come here, and the enemy of him was the lieutenant army?
So Heifu smiled and said: "You used to stop me, but now you obey the righteousness, open and close to me, save the whole Guanzhong, and let the people of Guanzhong get out of tyranny as soon as possible, not only is there no fault, but also great merit!" ”
Seeing that Marquis Wuzhong treated people kindly, the governor of Yaoguan was at peace in his heart, and then reported the Xianyang chaos he had heard in the past few days, Li Si's coup failed and ran away, and Hu Hai Zhao Gao wantonly arrested the rest of the party.
"Li Tonggu is really useless, he can't fight Zhao Gao."
Heifu scoffed, the old thing was pecked by a goose this time, and the car overturned and played off.
He touched his chin again and said secretly: "Zhao Gao is really big-hearted, I dare to mess around like this when I'm close at hand, could it be that I have also found a good home?" ”
Although it is a pity that the script of the battle of Yin Zhou Muye cannot be repeated, there is also a good side to this matter, that is, Xianyang is in chaos, and the front line is also very moved.
"After the Xianyang Incident, King Lantian left the army in some turmoil, and even some soldiers fled at night and became deserters."
After the lieutenant of Yaoguan retreated, Ji Ying reported the information sent back by the leopard at the east gate in front, because of the lesson of Wuguan, Wang Li did not dare to defend Yaoguan anymore, but concentrated the army in Lantian, which was easy to deploy formations, which was pinned on the field battle......
"It seems that the little General Wang is frightened."
Heifu bared his big white teeth and showed his grandfather's smile: "If you fight, I and the deceased Tongwu Marquis will probably be five or five." ”
"But with the talent of Wang Li, the army of the fox is suspicious, in the wilderness of the chaotic capital, the army of the enemy is victorious......"
It's a father-son game!
"That's enough."
Heifu shook his head: "The faint monarch and the rebellious ministers are becoming more and more perverse, not to mention the first emperor in the Lishan Mausoleum, even I can't stand it......"
Let them continue to make trouble, really revive the anger of Qin Shi Huangdi, and bring the resurrected legion and the emotionless Qin Terracotta Warriors to hang and beat themselves? Hefu remembers seeing a similar movie in his previous life.
Thinking so crankily, Hefu ordered:
"Order the three armies, rest and eat tonight, tomorrow tomorrow, march to Lantian!"
"It's time to put an end to this farce!"
