Chapter Seventy-Two: Hangu Pass
In Afang Palace, Hu Hai was changing clothes under Mei Ji's service, and during this time, he was enriched with a lot of young Mei Ji in this harem, so that he was almost overwhelmed with singing. Hu Hai's body was already a little weak under this kind of high-intensity labor, and it could be seen that he was not energetic all day long, and the bags under his eyes were drooping. After changing clothes, he touched Mei Ji with great interest, and then reluctantly went to the study.
At this time, Li Si had been waiting in the study for a long time, and when he saw Hu Hai coming, he bowed his hand and reprimanded softly with displeasure on his face: "Your Majesty, you are the monarch of my Great Qin, how can you covet beauty, and now that the early dynasty has been canceled, this makes many ministers worried." ”
Hearing Li Si's tone, Hu Hai's face was irritable, he clenched his fists a little angrily, and secretly said that this Li Si is really noisy, every day is the great truth of these rivers and mountains, do you really think that I Hu Hai is an ignorant little doll? However, thinking of Li Si's influence in the court, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said angrily: "Yes, yes, yes, I already know what Prime Minister Li Cheng said." If it's okay, Prime Minister Li Cheng will go down first. ”
Li Si raised his eyebrows, this Hu Hai has become less and less dependent on him at the beginning. Li Si didn't know that it was his preaching that caused Hu Hai to dislike him. After hearing this, Li Si said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked Si to investigate the rumors some time ago, and now there are results. ”
"Oh?" Hu Hai slapped the desk angrily, "Who is it that slandered me?" ”
"The person behind the scenes is Gongzi Gao!" Li Si paused word by word, and said in a solemn voice.
"Is that him?" Hu Hai was shocked, he didn't expect that it was his brother who was spreading rumors. Hu Hai was furious, and opened his mouth to scold: "I still regard him as a brother, this person is really hateful, and he is angry." ”
Li Si persuaded and said: "Your Majesty is not angry, Si has already detained Gongzi in prison, and how to deal with it is up to Your Majesty to decide." ”
"What to do?" Hu Hai sneered, his eyes were grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Since he dares to slander me, it's no wonder that I don't think about brotherhood." If you don't kill him, how can you stop the rumors? With a decision, Hu Hai said sharply: "Li Si, immediately drag him to the downtown area and kill him." The so-called murder is dismemberment, which shows Hu Hai's ruthlessness and anger.
When Li Si heard this, he also nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty is really becoming more and more decisive in the killing of the first emperor. ”
"Humph!" Hu Hai snorted, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, Prime Minister Li Cheng will hurry up and go to the execution." These brothers and sisters of mine are not convinced by me, heh, after today, who will dare to talk nonsense? ”
"No!" Li Si respectfully accepted the order, and then walked away quickly.
Gongzi Gao's death really made the city of Xianyang rumor again, there was less talk on the streets, the people were more cautious, and some wealthy businessmen and big families also quietly transferred, and now Xianyang is no longer so grand. Hu Hai may not know that he has gradually lost the support of the people.
Ziying and the others galloped day and night, and every time they arrived at the post house, they changed horses, and even so, several good horses died of exhaustion. The same is true of horses, not to mention people, but fortunately these elite soldiers are strong and strong, and although they are tired, they can still persevere. It's the child, and it's already a little shaky.
The Qin general who was the leader had a sad face, he rode forward, and said to Ziying: "Childe, if you rest first, General Meng will be chased by the last general." ”
Ziying thought about it, if he insisted on going in such a situation, it would inevitably affect the speed of the entire team, and then he nodded in response, "Okay, General Chen's words in plain clothes." ”
"You wait to stay to protect your son, and if there is a mistake, you will apologize with death." General Chen sternly ordered the ten elite soldiers beside him.
"No! We will protect my son. ”
"General Chen don't worry, let's go and rescue General Meng quickly." Ziying stopped his horse and waved his hand.
General Chen bowed his hand again and said respectfully: "Take care of your son." The rest follow me! ”
Ziying watched General Chen lead the troops to leave, he was also worried in his heart, now that they have arrived in the territory of Sanchuan, this Li Younai is the Sanchuan County Guard, if they are blocked, these elite soldiers are afraid that there will be no return.
Hangu Pass is a fortress to defend Xianyang in the east, if you want to capture Xianyang, you must capture one of the four fortresses before you can enter the pass. Guarded by the four stoppers of Qin, there are few wars in the land of Guanzhong, and the people here are rich in life, which is directly under the internal officials. At this moment, more than 20 miles outside Hangu Pass, a housekeeper escorted this Meng Tian forward in a hurry, and seeing that he was about to enter the customs, this housekeeper was also relieved, and entered the place directly under the internal officials, and his task was completed. He was terrified all the way, but Meng Tian was extremely brave, and he was really afraid that this fierce and evil man would resist.
"General Mengda, the front is Hangu Pass, and after entering the pass, we can also take a rest." The man said to Meng Tian with a smile. Although Meng Tian was escorted, it was not something that his little sacrifice dared to offend.
Meng Tian nodded, he was about to go to Xianyang after entering the customs, it was really impermanent, and it was sad and sad to think that he galloped on the battlefield to expand his territory, but finally fell to this point. "Let's go."
Further forward, you can already see the majesty of Hangu Pass, which is built along the mountain and across the road. Rich inside the pass, desolate outside the pass, this pass is like a boundary. At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the whole road shook a little.
"What's going on?" The housekeeper shouted, "Quick, get in." He hurriedly ordered again, and the entire escort team did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed away.
"Rush, General Meng Da is in front. This group of little cubs actually accelerated, killed, killed! General Chen shouted, "General, Chen Binglai also." ”
"Chen Bing?" Meng Tian frowned, and secretly said that his henchman was here to do something, looking murderous, and he regarded death as home.
"The general is not allowed to enter the customs, the holy decree that gave death to the prince of Su is an edict, these are all conspiracy of Li Si and Zhao Gao." Chen Bing saw Meng Tian turn around, and shouted again, his sound was like thunder, shaking Meng Tian's heart like a rolling stone wave.
"What? Sure enough, it's a conspiracy! Meng Tian shouted in grief, he was imprisoned, and roared angrily, "You won't let me out." ”
The man turned a deaf ear and commanded desperately: "Hurry, hurry, get closer, and you will be in the gate immediately." ”
And on the Hangu Pass, Yan Le had already taken over the military power, he heard the report of the deputy general, and immediately waited for the Guan Tower, seeing the situation outside the pass, he didn't have time to explain, and hurriedly ordered: "You quickly lead the troops to kill the chasing Qin army." ”
"No!" The lieutenant was immediately commanded.
