Xianyang, the secret room of Zhao Gao Chengxiang's house.

Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Yan Le gathered together and were deliberating.

Li Sidao: "I just received a message from the 'Qin Feng' secret envoy 'Crow' flying pigeon lurking beside Zhang Han, since Zhang Han arrived at Hangu Pass, he has not been able to fight effectively, but has frequently exchanged letters with Fusu. Last night, Sima Xin and Dong Peng's second general seemed to have some conflicts with Zhang Han because of the content of the letter, but the specific content is unknown!"

Zhao Gao's brows furrowed when he heard this, and a cold cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was noncommittal for a while. Yan Le felt a little cold on his back, and said uneasily: "Father, Master Li, could it be that Zhang Han and Fusu secretly colluded and wanted to sacrifice Guan for glory!?"

Li Si was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "If Zhang Han sacrifices Hangu Pass and more than 300,000 troops, wouldn't it be dangerous for me to pass the pass!" Zhao Gao said with some hesitation: "That Zhang Han's family is in our hands, will he have no scruples?"

Yan Le said with a careful heart to the belly of a gentleman: "A wife is like clothes, and children can also be reborn, Zhang Han's Eastern Expedition was not willing, if Fusu is tempted by the position of a prince, I am afraid that he may not be able to throw himself into Fusu!" Please think twice, Father!"

Zhao Gao was originally a person with a heavy suspicion, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart: "Master Li, you are not very proficient in military affairs, what do you think should be done?"

Li Si thought for a while and said: "Chengxiang, Zhang Han occupies Xiongguan, and he has a heavy army, so don't do it hastily." Judging from the secret report, Sima Xin, Dong Fei and Zhang Han are not compatible, so it is better to ask these two to closely monitor Zhang Han's movements and prevent him from making any changes; The second ordered Zhang Han to hand over the correspondence with Fusu, if there is nothing, Zhang Han will hand it over, if Zhang Han refuses, then it must be in collusion with Fusu!"

Si Le said: "In case Zhang Han refuses to hand it over, or even raises troops to take refuge in Fusu and offer Hangu Pass, what is it good to do?" Li Si sneered: "Prime Minister Cheng can quickly send a prison soldier to Zhang Han's army with a secret order, if Zhang Han is willing to hand over the letter; If they refuse to hand it over. Then let the prison army show the secret decree, and ordered Zhang Han to take the military power, with Sima Xin as the commander. In this way, nothing goes wrong!"

"Wonderful!" Sealman couldn't help but praise. Zhao Gao also nodded, and said in a dark voice: "That's right." Xun Le, tell the guards of Zhangtai Palace, be careful to guard Zhang Han and the other people's families, there is a problem, the prime minister wants his head!" Yes, Father!"

Early the next morning. There were dozens of fast horses from Xianyang, and went straight to Hangu Pass in the starry night.

On the morning of this day, the sky that had been cloudy for several days finally snowed heavily, and the snowflakes fluttered down, instantly draping Haohan's infinite land with a layer of faint silver.

The stove in the imperial tent was like fire, and Fusu was reviewing the chapter in it, and suddenly, the tent door opened, and a person hurriedly entered. "Your Majesty, the front line is urgent!" Fusu was taken aback. When I looked up, it was Zhang Liang.

"Where's the rush? Is it Meng Tian or Han Xin?" Fusu saw that Zhang Liang's face was not very good, and he was a little anxious.

Zhang Liang said: "It's General Meng Tian!" Just got the news. General Meng Tian has captured Taiyuan and obtained nearly one million pieces of grain and grass. It is enough for the people of Taiyuan and the 300,000 army for more than half a month!" Fusu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is good news, why is the military advisor bitter?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "The bad news is behind: Wuchen has established himself as the king of Zhao, with Zhang Er and Chen Yu as the left and right ministers. Li Liang is a general. At present, Wuchen saw that Meng Tian's army had the potential to sweep Shanxi, and he was afraid that Meng Tian's army would capture Taiyuan and take advantage of the situation to force Huguan and enter Zhao in the east, so Wuchen sent Chen Yu to lead an army of 100,000 to the north to attack my back. Unfortunately. As soon as Chen Yu arrived at the mouth of the well, he heard that Taiyuan had fallen, so he immediately stationed troops to the east of Jingcheng, and had the intention of going west out of Taihang and attacking Taiyuan. In addition, Wuchen sent Li Liang to lead 50,000 troops to attack Huguan, echoing with Shangdang and containing our army. Looks like General Meng Tian is going to have some trouble!"

When Fusu heard this, he couldn't help but let out a cold sweat and said: "It's so dangerous, if it weren't for Meng Tian to break through Taiyuan first, once Chen Yu's 100,000 army covered and attacked the back of our army, Meng Tian's army was almost cut off from food and grass, and under the front and rear attacks of the puppet Qin army and the Zhao army, I am afraid that the whole army would be destroyed!"

"Yes, fortunately, General Meng has already broken through Taiyuan first, and the grain and grass that our army is going north along the Fenshui will soon arrive in Taiyuan, and the Zhao army will have nothing to fear if it comes with another 200,000. It's just that the Zhao army deployed more than 100,000 heavy troops along the front line of Taihang, and there was Shangdang blocking the throat of the north-west traffic in the west, and Meng Tian's army went south to help our army in a short period of time!" Zhang Liang also looks helpless!

Fusu thought for a while and said: "The Hangu front line is currently stable, and there is no need for reinforcements from General Meng Tian, so it is better to let General Meng Tian quickly break through Shangdang and advance eastward to Zhaodi!" Zhang Liang said: "It's just that Li Liang and Chen Yu are too guarded by the danger, and our army wants to break through the pass and enter, and it is more than ascending to the sky." In addition, the Shangdang has stuck the throat of our army by land, making it inconvenient for our army to transport grain, grass and troops, which has also greatly restricted the use of our army's troops. It's not easy to realize the intention of going east to Zhaodi!" The resourceful Zhang Liang also frowned.

Fusu smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this, Lian only needs a little trick to make that Chen Yu's whole army annihilated, Li Liang surrendered, and he can also quickly break through the Shangdang and rush to Shanxi!" Zhang Liang was overjoyed and said, "What is Your Majesty's plan?"

Fusu smiled: "Come here with your ears, you will arrange it yourself!" Zhang Liang attached his ears, and Fusu secretly asked him to turn it over, and Zhang Liang went happily.

In the heavy snowfall, dozens of cavalry Qin troops escorted a eunuch out of Huangguan and arrived at Hangu Pass in the evening. After entering Hangu Pass, the eunuch first ordered someone to invite Sima Xin and Dong Peng to meet at the Shuaifu, and then went straight to Zhang Handa's Mansion by himself.

Hangu Pass is only a military checkpoint, the city is not big, this eunuch soon came to the front of Zhang Handshuai's mansion, arrogantly came to the horse, showed the token in his hand, and said loudly: "Go back to General Zhang, just say that Your Majesty and the envoy sent by the Prime Minister are here, let him go out to greet him!" Zhang Han's personal soldiers did not dare to slack off when they heard this, and quickly returned to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was looking at the map bitterly in the mansion, thinking about the strategy of breaking the enemy, and when he heard that an envoy from the Xianyang faction was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and he hurriedly went out to greet him.

Zhang Han arrived at the gate of the mansion, and saw that a eunuch in a Chinese costume led dozens of palace marquis outside the door, and he was expected to be an envoy, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Zhang Han welcomes the arrival of the envoy, please talk inside!" The eunuch nodded a little arrogantly. Then he entered side by side with Zhang Han, and Zhang Han smiled and said, "I don't know the name of the adult? What's the important thing about this visit?"

The eunuch said with a little smirk: "This official's name is Zheng Bo, and he is Zhao Chengxiang's old department, of course he is here today by order to come here, but let's wait for Sima Xin and Dong Fei to arrive!" Zhang Han didn't want to ask again, so he invited Zheng Bo into the inner house to serve warm wine.

After a while, Sima Xin and Dong Fei arrived together, and after seeing Zheng Bo, Zheng Bo got up and said: "This official is ordered by His Majesty and the Prime Minister to come here to supervise the army and assist you in defeating the puppet emperor Fusu. I hope the three generals can teach you more!"

Zhang Han and the three of them looked at each other, smiling bitterly in their hearts, knowing that Zhao Gao was still a little worried about the three of them, Zhang Han smiled quietly: "This is a good thing, with the help of Lord Zheng, our army will definitely be able to strengthen its wings!"

Zheng Bo looked at Zhang Han, his face was a little different, but he disappeared in a flash, and then said with a smile: "This official's talent is limited, so he can't help much." However, it is still possible to help the generals with some ideas on some things. General Zhang. I heard that you have recently exchanged some letters with the puppet emperor Fusu, I wonder if you can let this official take a look?"

Zhang Han was stunned in his heart, and he didn't know how to leak this matter to Zhao Gao to know. Thinking that it was Sima Xin and Dong Peng who were informing, they couldn't help but glare at the two fiercely. Then he forced a smile and said, "Of course, it's all ordinary letters!" Immediately, the incident of the six seals with Fusu was handed over to Zheng Bo.

Zheng Bo opened them one by one with an expressionless face, and when he saw the latest one, he was a little puzzled: "General Zhang, why has this letter been smeared so much in critical places recently?" Zhang Han hurriedly said, "Oh. It may be that the puppet emperor Fu Su mistakenly sent cursive script!"

Zheng Bo is also a treacherous person, how can he believe it, but although Zheng Bo is suspicious, he quietly said to Sima Xin and Dong Fei on his face: "What do the two generals think about this?"

Sima Xin and Dong Peng were a little worried about Zhang Han's misunderstanding of the two. Seeing Zheng Bo asking, Sima Xin hurriedly said: "There may be this possibility of sending the wrong cursive script, and the last general believes that General Zhang is a person, and he should not have anything to do with the puppet emperor Fusu." These letters are just some of the words that the commanders of the two armies often ask Hou about, so it is not surprising!" Dong Fei also nodded in agreement. This made Zhang Han a little puzzled for a while: "The two of them exonerated themselves, aren't they the two of them telling the secret!?"

Zheng Bo hesitated for a while, from these letters, there was no sign of Zhang Han's rebellion, although there were suspicious points, but they were not prominent, and Sima Xin and Dong Fei exonerated Zhang Han, which made Zheng Bo unable to make up his mind to take out the secret decree to abolish Zhang Han's handsome position, after all, it is a taboo for soldiers to change their handsomeness.

Therefore, Zheng Bo still decided to send these letters back to Xianyang, and handed them over to Zhao Gao to decide, and he sat in Hangu to supervise the army. He smiled and said: "This prison army also believes in General Zhang's personality, but some things still have to be done officially, and these letters will be handed over to Xianyang Cheng for the time being, and handed over to Cheng Xiang to decide." However, this supervising army must forward its own opinions as well as the opinions of General Sima and General Dong. I believe that Prime Minister Cheng should not misunderstand General Zhang!"

Zhang Han smiled bitterly in his heart: "Yes, it is too normal for the commanders of the two armies to exchange a few letters between the enemy and our army, after all, this is a show of grace, but this Zhao Gao seems to be facing a great enemy, alas, my general is also very bad!" With a look of gratitude on his face, he said: "Thank you Lord Zheng, General Sima, and General Dong for your trust!"

Zheng Bo said with a kind expression: "Master Zhang, it's not this prison army who said you, this letter with the puppet emperor is indeed a bit inappropriate, and it must not be like this in the future, otherwise there will be no misunderstanding!" Zhang Han hurriedly said: "After General Sima and Dong Fei told Zhang about this the day before yesterday, Zhang immediately broke off contact with the puppet emperor Fusu, and Lord Zheng can rest assured!"

"That's good, that's good! That's all for today, General Lao Zhang arranged a place for Zheng to live, and he drove for three days, and he was tired to death!" Zheng Bo looked relieved.

"Zhang Mou has already set up a banquet for Lord Zheng in the side hall, and it is not too late to help the adult arrange a place to live after the end is over!" Zhang Han also breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, I'm hungry too, General Dong and General Sima go together!" Please!" Please!" ……

The next day, on a fast horse, he galloped through Chengguan from Hangu Pass, and sent the five letters handed over by Zhang Han and Zheng Bodi's secret letters to Xianyang.

Xianyang, Zhao Gaofudi.

Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Yan Le looked at Fusu's five letters and Zheng Bodi's secret letters, and their faces were solemn. After a long time, Yan Le scratched his head and said, "Father, Master Li, it seems that there is some insufficient evidence for whether Zhang Han is suspected of rebellion!"

Li Si was also a little puzzled: "Although there are some doubts in this cursive letter, it is necessary to be smeared in a critical place, and it is difficult to convict Zhang Han without telling the truth, and it is also improper and unsatisfactory to remove him from the position of commander, for fear of provoking a mutiny!"

Zhao Gao was more and more suspicious of Zhang Han at this time, originally Zhao Gao was a little sick in his heart because he was a eunuch, and he was very distrustful of his subordinates, and he always suspected that his subordinates would look down on him because of his identity, and even betrayed himself, so once he suspected someone, he would always rather believe it than believe it, and take extremely vicious means to get rid of it. At this time, the same is true for Zhang Han, as if Zhang Han is a nobleman of the Qin State, although he has never been against Zhao Gao on weekdays, he and Zhao Gao and his gang are not biting the strings, and they are not sure whether Zhang Han is really loyal.

The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the more wrong it became, the more he thought about it, and felt that Zhang Han was suspicious, but there was no real evidence, for fear of forcing Zhang Han back, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about how to deal with this matter. Suddenly, a trace of hideousness appeared on Zhao Gao's face, and he sneered: "It's not impossible to test Zhang Han's loyalty!" I immediately asked His Majesty to issue an order to strictly order Zhang Han to enter the army and fight a decisive battle with Fusu, and break the enemy within one month, otherwise he will be severely punished. A month later, if Zhang Han does nothing, then he must have colluded with Fusu, so he asked Zheng Bo to read out the holy decree, seize Zhang Han's position as a prisoner, and cut down Zhang Han's family and replace him with Sima Xin!"

Li Si bit his teeth when he heard this, and he was a little undecided: "Chengxiang, that Fusu is very good at using soldiers, but it is not an easy role to deal with, is it a little tighter in a month?" In case Zhang Hanben has no objection, but he can't break the enemy in just a month, our army will change divisions on the verge of battle, which is very unfavorable to our army!" Li Si still understands military affairs much more than Zhao Gao, and he is more thoughtful.

Zhao Gao thought for a while and said, "Well, Master Li thinks about it reasonably!" In this way, this decree is still necessary to win within a time limit, after all, it is necessary to put a little pressure on Zhang Han to make him enterprising. However, a month later, whether to step down from Zhang Han's position or not, according to the situation; In peacetime, Zheng Bo should strictly monitor Zhang Han and other generals in the army to prevent changes. What do you think of this, Lord Li?" It's better to do that!" Li Si also nodded.
