Everyone in Liu Bang's tent looked at Chen Ping in surprise. They don't know what each other means. As Xiang Yu's messenger, he should have his heart to Xiang Yu. But he actually wanted to give advice to Liu Bang.

"What are your intentions? Could it be that you want us to fall into the trap of the Qin army?! Cao Shen had doubts about his motives.

Chen Ping looked at everyone calmly, and he was very clear about everyone's doubts.

I saw him clenching his fists and arching his hands, and said emotionally: "In the past, I was almost unjustly killed by the villagers. Fortunately, someone saved me with a trick, and I didn't know who the other party was at the time. Later, he learned on the wanted warrant of the Qin State that Encheng was Zhang Situ, who assassinated the First Emperor. I feel his great kindness and always want to repay it. Today, Pei Gong is righteous, not afraid of strong Qin, not afraid of coercion, and insists on saving Engong. How can I, Chen Ping, not help Pei Gong! ”

When Liu Bang heard that the other party had benefited from Zhang Liang, his previous anger was swept away. hurriedly replied: "Since Duwei Chen also has the heart to save the ovary, he is my friend Liu Ji!" ”

Xiao He only believed half of Chen Ping's explanation, after all, everything was what the other party said and could not be confirmed. He decided to test Chen Ping further.

"Duwei Chen, since you have the heart to rescue Zhang Situ, haven't you heard that he was taken captive to Xianyang?"

Hearing Xiao He's question, Chen Ping hurriedly replied: "In the army, I heard Zhang Situ's two wives talk about Zhang Situ's willingness to be captured and go to Xianyang to save his wife and soldiers, and I was very impressed at that time!" But according to the following opinion, Zhang Situ should not worry about his life, if the Qin State wanted to kill him or take him back to Xianyang to be executed to show the world, he would never agree to let the two ladies and the Korean sergeant go. Therefore, Qin Guo must ask for something to capture Zhang Situ, as long as he asks for something, then Zhang Situ is safe! ”

Everyone listened to Chen Ping's analysis and praised it one after another. His analysis is indeed reasonable. Liu Bang suddenly woke up, thinking that Zhang Liang had no worries about his life. And his heart rejoiced.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Chen Ping continued: "If Pei Gong wants to enter Xianyang as soon as possible, he might as well pass the news from the front to the Wuguan defenders, once they know about it, they will naturally have no intention of fighting." Pei Gong only needs a person who can speak to go and inform him of the matter. Then great things can be done. ”

When Liu Bang heard that he wanted to let the other party know the front-line battle report, he immediately asked: "Could it be that the front-line battle report is beneficial to our army?" ”

"Pei Gong may not know that a few days after I set off for here, Zhang Han's army has already surrendered! Moreover, General Xiang Yu was afraid of changes in the army, and killed 200,000 Qin troops in one night! ”

When everyone heard that Xiang Yukeng had killed twenty descendants, their faces changed greatly! Although everyone has long been accustomed to seeing life-and-death battles on the battlefield, such a horrific act still makes them indignant.

"! Xiang Yu is not human! Surrender and kill all the troops? Fan Xu is the most outspoken of the crowd, and he will say whatever comes to his mind.

Chen Ping heard Fan Hao scolding Xiang Yu, but he didn't say anything. After all, his identity is an official under Xiang Yu. In order to lighten the atmosphere. He continued: "Once the Wuguan soldiers learn of this news, they will definitely be frightened and have no intention of fighting. At that time, Pei Gong will be able to drive straight into Xianyang and go straight to Xianyang! ”

Liu Bang was very optimistic about Chen Ping's suggestion, but Cao Shen was still very cautious. "Who does Chen Duwei think can enter the customs to lobby?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he knew that the other party was testing himself, and immediately smiled: "It's better to let it go." ”

As soon as Cao Shen heard that Chen Ping was willing to go, he immediately exclaimed: "You are Xiang Yu's subordinate, help me break the city." Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Xiang Yu? ”

After Chen Ping looked around at everyone, he smiled meaningfully. "I never said that I would help Pei Gong break the city. I'm just going to tell the generals about the front line! ”

People who understand naturally know the meaning of Chen Ping's words. At this moment, everyone has no suspicion of him, although he is still Xiang Yu's subordinate, but his heart to save Zhang Liang is true!

Liu Bang urgently ordered the sergeant to prepare a banquet to entertain Chen Ping. Chen Ping saw that everyone was no longer suspicious of him, and immediately said! "Thank you, Pei Gong. Pei Gong is so gracious, but it is disrespectful. It was just this banquet to wish Zhang Situ his freedom again. ”

Liu Bang drank bitterly with everyone. Chen Ping told the story of the battle of Xiang Yu Julu during the banquet, and at the same time mentioned that Princess Han Shu personally went into battle. The second lady, Lu Zhi, denounced the princes from all walks of life for watching from the wall and other incidents. I only heard Liu Bang applaud, not because of Xiang Yu, but because of the heroic deeds of the two ladies in the ovary.

Liu Bang was also full of relief after learning that Princess Han Shu and his wife and sister were all right. At the same time, he urgently ordered the sergeant to go to Lu Pheasant's place and tell her about the current situation of the little sister.

The day after the feast. Chen Ping went to Wuguan City alone, and after seeing the guards, he fortunately passed the news of the front line to the other party, and at the same time hoped that the other party would consider it for himself, and then returned to Xiang Yu's place on his own, and did not say a word about the surrender.

After learning that Zhanghan's army had surrendered and 200,000 Qin troops had been killed, the defenders of Wuguan abandoned the city with their families overnight and fled, leaving only the sergeants guarding the pass to wait for their unknown fate.

When Liu Bang's army came to pass, there was no fight and no resistance. Some are just Qin army sergeants who have fled and have no intention of fighting.

Liu Bangbing took Wuguan without blood, and soon the army reached Xianyang. At this time, it has been more than a month since Zhang Liang fled Xianyang.

No one would have thought that on the fifth day after Zhang Liang fled, Xianyang underwent earth-shaking changes......

After Zhang Liang fled Xianyang, there was still no news of the people and horses that Li Cheng was tracking. This made Zhao Gao very anxious, and the only thing that made him happy was that Ziying was not sick as Zhang Liang said.

After persevering for five days, Zhao Gao finally looked forward to the time when Ziying had finished fasting and bathing and could go to the temple. But in the morning of the same day, the imperial doctor on duty came in a panic to say: "Lord Qiyu, this morning the child accidentally fell and injured his right leg, and it is difficult to get up from the bed at this time!" ”

Zhao Gao almost fell when he heard this, and after he learned that Ziying only injured his leg and couldn't walk, his heart was a little calmer.

"You bunch of waste, why are you getting hurt?!" Zhao Gao looked extremely angry and scolded the imperial doctor angrily.

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "The adult's atonement is due to the fact that the son was already weak, and his diet was too light for several days, which led to the three-dimensional weakness, so he accidentally fell and injured himself when he got up this morning."

"Is it life-threatening?" Zhao Gao asked eagerly.

When the imperial doctor heard this, he hurriedly replied: "No!" No! But there is a lot of inconvenience in walking, and the matter of paying homage to the temple may be delayed. ”

As soon as he heard that the matter of the sacrifice was going to be postponed, Zhao Gao immediately said: "No! This matter must not be postponed any longer. “

As soon as the imperial doctor heard Zhao Gao's words, he replied: "The minister once asked the son, but he said that with his weak body, he really had no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors. “

When Zhao Gao heard this, his face sank, and he said: "I will go in person, even if I carry him to the temple, I must let the prince ascend the throne today!" ”

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he went to Ziying's room with the imperial doctor. As soon as he saw the child, he immediately saw that the clothes and pants on the other party's legs had been soaked red with blood. Ziying appeared very weak at this time, as if due to the pain and physical exhaustion.

"Childe, Childe. What do you think? Zhao Gao asked tentatively.

Ziying heard someone call him, opened his eyes slightly, and after seeing that the person who came was Zhao Gao, he said weakly: "Lord Zhao, the pain in my right leg is unbearable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the temple." ”

When Zhao Gao heard this, he immediately said urgently: "Son, no." How can this enthronement be delayed?! Don't worry, the old slave will find someone to carry him. ”

Seeing that Zhao Gao had made up his mind, Ziying took the opportunity to ask: "I never thought that the day I ascended the throne would be so unsmooth." Could it be that God does not agree with me to ascend the throne? ”

"Childe is too worried, don't think nonsense, you need to know that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting for you." Zhao Gao opened his mouth to persuade him.

Ziying slowly closed his eyes, and then tried to control his breath, and after a while, he opened his eyes again, looked at Zhao Gao and said: "If I ascend the throne, I will never make great achievements, since I have no choice today, then I will inherit the throne and revitalize my Great Qin." I hope Lord Zhao will help me! After Ziying finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand, as if to grasp something to support himself so that he could get up.

As soon as Zhao Gao saw that Ziying wanted to get up, and heard his bold words, he hurriedly stepped forward happily and grabbed his left hand, wanting to help him get up.

Just when Zhao Gao approached Ziying's side and grabbed Ziying's left hand. Ziying suddenly took advantage of the situation and pulled the other party down.

Zhao Gao was pulled, lost his center of gravity in an instant, and fell to Ziying's body, but what could come into contact with his body was not Ziying's body, but a sharp dagger.

Before Zhao Gao could make any sound, Ziying had already plunged the dagger deep into his abdomen. Then Ziying kicked Zhao Gao away, and the injured leg was not broken at all.

"You, you actually" Zhao Gao couldn't believe that he would be hurt by Ziying. He looked at Ziying in horror, is this still the cowardly and weak Ziying he knows?! Is this still the child who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and only promises?! The child in front of him was completely like a hungry beast, and his eyes seemed to be full of longing for blood and killing.

Looking at Zhao Gao, who had fallen to the ground, Ziying said coldly: "Zhao Gao! You deceived the first emperor and forced the first emperor to death, which is unforgivable! Now they want to use me as a puppet and continue to bring disaster to the world! Today, I will avenge the emperor! Personally slash you chaotic thief!! After finishing speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed Zhao Gao twice in the heart, as if he had vented all his long-suppressed grievances.

Zhao Gao never thought that he slowly stepped into the trap of Zhang Liang and Ziying, and it can even be said that he personally sent his life to Ziying.

After Ziying got rid of Zhao Gao, he immediately announced Zhao Gao's guilt, and at the same time stabilized the situation, declaring that the crime was against Zhao Gao and would not harm others. In the end, with the support of the hundred officials, he ascended the throne as emperor. But because the territory of the Qin State was no longer even the size of the Seven Kingdoms, he had to degrade himself to the King of Qin.

During his short reign, he tried to change the decadent situation and restore the people to a peaceful life. But it was too late. Just over a month after he came to power, Liu Bang's army approached the city of Xianyang (to be continued). )
