Chapter 443: Key Witnesses (Second Update)
"General, General Han Xin has been escorted back by the Xiongnu Shan Yu under Xiang Yu's Yuzi period, and now he is outside the Great Wall!"
After staying up for several days in a row, Meng Tian finally couldn't stay up a little, at noon on this day, he fell asleep in his mansion groggily, but it was just the kung fu that he had just fallen asleep, and suddenly his guards came to him and woke himself up directly with such a message.
As soon as he heard this, Meng Tian suddenly fell asleep, Han Xin not only came back, but was escorted back by an important person like Yu Ziqi, doesn't this mean that Han Xin's trip was quite successful? If it weren't for the good talk with Xiang Yu, how could people let their cronies escort him back?
Sure enough, when Meng Tian hurried to the foot of the Great Wall to greet Han Xin, Han Xin had just said goodbye to Yu Ziqi and was walking towards Shangjun.
"General, is this going well?"
Obviously, Meng Tian was still very concerned about the meeting between Han Xin and Xiang Yu this time, because this determined what kind of strategy he adopted for Xiang Yu in Shangjun.
Xiang Yu's transformation of the Hun cavalry, Meng Tian naturally saw it, when he was the Hun Shan Yu before, he sent troops to teach them a lesson, and the loss was still very small.
But now it's different, people's cavalry is not only skilled in arching and horses, but also knows the tactics, and the equipment is better than before, I don't know how much, in this case, the two armies can only meet each other, and Meng Tian is of course unwilling to have any more conflicts with the Huns, thankless!
"It's the same as what the king expected, although Xiang Yu trained the Huns' soldiers to be very brave and good at fighting, but he was trapped and the lack of soldiers to recruit troops on a large scale, his current idea is just to protect himself on the grassland north of the Great Wall, after I go, as long as the general does not take the initiative to attack the Hun cavalry in Shangjun, they will not intrude on the villages at the foot of the Great Qin Great Wall, as for the relationship between my Daqin and the Huns in the future, the king has his own plans!"
This result still made Meng Tian very satisfied, Han Xin had already informed Meng Tian about the Peacock Dynasty before, so in fact, like Han Xin, Meng Tian's heart had already drifted away.
Guarding the Great Wall of Shangjun every day, he is really a little boring, and with his current age, he knows that he can no longer charge with a sergeant for many years, so in his heart, he has always longed for a greater achievement.
"So good, very good! This time, General Han Xin sent an envoy to the Huns, which is really a great contribution! ”
Looking at Meng Tian rubbing his hands and praising his expression, Han Xin was a little confused, and said in his heart Is this still the same Meng Tian who had been shouting and shouting to kill before, and had to kill the Huns and kill Xiang Yu?
Meng Tian said in his heart, Han Xin didn't have the heart to think deeply, he knew that Yinggao would be looking forward to his news if it was not an accident, in addition to Yinggao, there was also his wife Yangzi.
Although Yang Zi didn't reflect how worried he was about Han Xin, when he said goodbye to him, Han Xin still noticed the tears in the corners of Yang Zi's eyes.
So after the task was completed, Han Xin passed through Shangjun, declined Meng Tian's proposal to invite him to have a little wine in Shangjun to celebrate, and directly took his ten guards to ride their horses to Xianyang City.
Han Xin came and went this time, in fact, he stayed on the territory of the Huns for less than three days, because neither he nor Xiang Yu were the people who dragged mud and water, which he had thought of before he went, either it was such a situation where the quick knife cut the mess and everyone was happy, or someone else cut him off with a quick knife......
Ying Gao really attaches great importance to the results of Han Xin's trip this time, because he knows that Xiang Yu can no longer be the same as before, there are only two results, either to stabilize him, or to kill him, and the first choice here is of course to stabilize him, and even pull him over.
But Yinggao is the emperor of Great Qin, he naturally won't be like Yang Zi who counts his days and looks forward to when his husband will come back, even if he really thinks so in his heart, he has to find something to do to distract himself.
And what Yinggao is looking for is to continue to make people investigate the Fangshi who had a close relationship with Xu Fu back then, because Xu Fu was just one of the hundreds of thousands of Fangshi who were reused by the First Emperor back then, Yinggao didn't believe that he came to the First Emperor for no reason, and he was almost definitely elected to the First Emperor's field of vision.
And in Yinggao's opinion, if his so-called immortal mountain on the sea was only said by himself, the First Emperor would definitely not believe it.
Following this clue, in fact, Yinggao has been working hard, but almost no one in the court knows about it, because Yinggao handed over the leadership of this matter to Tian Yan, and furthermore, it was handed over to the two hundred royal guards under Tian Yan's command composed of doormen from all over the country, and Tian Yan only played a role in command and dispatch in Xianyang Palace.
I found the old man who had drawn a sea route map for Xu Fu before, and it was also done under the command of Tian Yan, which was an unexpected joy for Yinggao.
It was also the two old men who could draw the route map that they found before, who brought Yinggao a very useful news, after Han Xin left the Huns, Yinggao devoted himself to this matter, on the one hand, this matter is indeed very important to him, on the other hand, this can greatly reduce his impatience in the process of waiting for Han Xin to come back.
This news is that Xu Fu thought that he had been recommended by the first emperor very early, and this monk was called Wu Sheng, and no one knew what it was called, but according to the old man who drew the chart, Xu Fu had secretly had a close relationship with this Wu Sheng when he returned for the first time, and the people on Xu Fu's ship also had rumors that Wu Sheng was going to sea for the second time.
But unfortunately, after that, Fang Shi's fooling of the First Emperor was exposed one after another, and Xu Fu was probably afraid that he would be implicated, so he hurriedly asked the First Emperor for his life on the grounds of the auspicious day of the zodiac without informing Wu Sheng, and went to sea alone.
After that, it was the so-called Confucian incident that Yinggao liked to see, and then Fusu was demoted to Shangjun because of this incident, and he also took a series of opportunities during this time to enter the stage of Daqin......
Everyone knows that going to sea is a very dangerous thing, but why would this Wu Sheng, who is older than Xu Fu, agree to follow Xu Fu to go to sea?
There's definitely something in this that no one else knows. So Yinggao's order to Tian Yan was to find this Wu Sheng.
But how easy it is to find Wu Sheng, what Yinggao is most afraid of is that Wu Sheng has become an unlucky person in this incident at that time, if that is really the case, now Wu Sheng is only left with bones and slag.
Even if he hadn't been killed by the First Emperor in a fit of anger, Wu Sheng would probably have run as far as he could after that incident, after all, most of the people who had made a lot of money by fooling the First Emperor before, and a normal person would not know where to run to enjoy life.
What makes Yinggao even more headache is that even if Wu has a big life, the pit has nothing to do with him, he ran away, but then there is a large-scale anti-Qin movement, if a rich guy like him falls into the hands of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, it is almost absolutely no reason to be spared.
Therefore, according to Yinggao's thoughts, the possibility that this Wu Sheng is still alive should be less than 20%.
But he has a very important role in what Yinggao will do next, so even if it is this 20% possibility, Yinggao must fight.
It was on the third day after Han Xin had just left Xianyang City, the night was already dark, and Ying Gao was dreaming in the quilt with Feng Qing in his arms, when suddenly there was a knock from Ying Gao's guards outside the door, and it was as loud as a sound, until Ying Gao was woken up from his sleep.
This is Yinggao's order, no matter what he is doing, once there is any emergency, he must inform himself as soon as possible.
When Ying Gao woke up at first glance, he was excited, and he thought that something had happened to Han Xin, but after he came to his senses, he thought about it again, and Han Xin didn't even reach the border of the Xiongnu in three days, so naturally it was impossible for something to happen.
When Yinggao struggled to put on his clothes and walked out of the door, the guards said that Mrs. Tian Yan had arrived outside and was waiting for Yinggao at this time, saying that there was something very important to inform Yinggao.
"Didn't she go to her tonight, and she was indignant?" Yinggao secretly guessed in his heart, and walked outside in a daze, thinking that such a bad habit could not be formed by Tian Yan, otherwise it would be okay?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside, the neatly dressed Tian Yan suddenly appeared in front of Yinggao, which startled Yinggao.
"Your Majesty, the Fang Shi named Wu Sheng who I found out before has been found by the guards under my command in the old land of Wei, and under careful interrogation, it is the Wu Sheng who had a close relationship with Xu Fu before, and he was just escorted to Xianyang City less than half an hour ago, and he was secretly detained in the torture place in the Xianyang Palace, and the monarch valued this person so much before, so he arrived at his sister's dormitory late at night......"
At the beginning, Tian Yan said that his eyebrows were dancing happily, but in the end, when he broke into Feng Qing's dormitory late at night, he was a little powerless, obviously, when Yinggao yawned and walked out of the inner room, Tian Yan didn't know if he was right to come late at night this time.
But Yinggao's next words reassured Tian Yan at that time.
"Is there such a thing? Hurry up and take me there! ”
In fact, Yinggao has been arranging this matter for a few months, but Tian Yanren has scattered a lot, but there has been no decent news, in fact, by this time Yinggao has no hope of finding Wu Sheng, but he didn't expect to be dug up by Tian Yan's people at this time.
In fact, what Yinggao didn't know was that if it weren't for the team he formed for Tian Yan composed of doormen collected from various counties and counties, this matter would really not be possible.
These disciples were originally from all the realms of Great Qin, and they were all the leaders in their respective places before, although they only had a mere two hundred people, but their network of relationships was very huge.
With the help of such a network, they almost turned the entire Great Qin upside down, and only then did they find Wu Sheng, who had changed his name in an unknown number of counties and counties over the years, a few months later.
Even the name Wu Sheng is very likely to be fake, but this guy was only used as a priest when he was cheating and drinking with the First Emperor.
Under the leadership of Tian Yan, who was dressed in a clean and neat suit, Yinggao came to this place set up in Xianyang Palace, except for him, the Zhu family, and Tian Yan, no one knows this secret place, this is a place set up by Yinggao specifically to deal with those guys who are inconvenient for people in the court to know, just like Wu Sheng.
After entering this cramped cell, Tian Yan covered her face with a black veil just like she did in front of the two hundred guards under her command, and did not expose her appearance to people like Wu Sheng at will.
Under the dim candle flame, Yinggao looked inside, and saw a short and thin man, with gray hair and rough skin, about forty or fifty years old, trembling in the corner of the wall.
Obviously, he didn't know what this place was like, and he didn't know what kind of people he was going to face, but one thing was for sure, his years of hiding in Tibet may not have had much effect.
"Do you know who I am?"
Although Yinggao was very anxious to learn about what this person had mastered, he was dragged up from the bed by Tian Yan at this hour, and it was also quite sleepy, so he didn't want to waste time with this so-called Wu Sheng, he just wanted to quickly know what he wanted to know, and then cook this Wu Sheng.
After all, they turned the first emperor around, and when it comes to Qin Law, he should have died a long time ago I don't know how many back and forth, and these people dare to do anything to fool the emperor of Great Qin, and if they are released, they are just a group of outlaws, for them, Yinggao really doesn't have the slightest compassion.
"No...... I don't know, but if you need money, I can satisfy it, enough to make you worry about food and clothing for half your life, and please spare my life! ”
"What you are in at this time is the Xianyang Palace of my Great Qin, I am the Emperor of Great Qin, what you say next will directly determine your death!"
