In April of the second year of Qin II, Zhou Wen led the army to take Hangu Pass directly, all the way to attack the city and the terrain was like a broken bamboo, the soldiers continued to recruit troops and buy horses, and to Hangu Pass, there were thousands of military vehicles, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and soon stationed in the water, attacking Hangu Pass.

Sanchuan County in the east is contained by Wu Guang, and Wang Ben in the south is entangled by Song Liu, although both sides have the upper hand, but if they want to defeat the other party's tens of thousands of horses for a while, it is too late to save Hanguguan.

Hangu Pass used to be the Qin Dynasty heavy pass, but since the unification of the six countries, the role of Hangu Pass is much smaller, so it is gradually abandoned, now there are only less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all the unification of the six countries, because of the wounded veterans, although experienced, but there is no training all the year round, the military weapons are not organized, the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

As long as the Hangu Pass is broken and can go straight to Xianyang, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed only overnight, so the righteous army in the world is very happy, before the Zhao army completely destroyed the righteous army of 80,000 people, causing some of the righteous army in the world to burst out.

The momentum of the rebels in various places has conquered the city, most of the southeast and the Central Plains have broken away from the Qin Dynasty, and even Wu Bing of Hengshan County has raised the anti-flag, it can be said that the Qin Dynasty's decree has not been out of the Guanzhong, Linzi has also become a lonely city, the southern army Zhao Tuo is watching from the wall, and the northern army Meng Tian is involved by the Huns who are about to move.

For a time, everyone in the world was panicked, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

"How so, how so?"

Beiling Palace, Fusu, who was on the throne of the high throne, had a pale face, kept whispering, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble, do I really want to lose the country, how can I go to see my father in a hundred years, no, if I lose the country, I'm afraid I won't live to be 100 years old.

The ministers in the palace were also panicked, hanging their heads and saying nothing, the first emperor had said that he would pass on the Qin State for thousands of generations, but this was only the second.

At this time, Meng Yi pondered for a moment, stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is the time of national disaster, you must not be discouraged, when you are united, with the strength of the whole country, first exterminate the thieves as the plan, last time Shenwu Hou was able to defeat 80,000 thieves with only 40,000 soldiers and horses, and also beheaded its enemies, now Chen Sheng sent all the soldiers and horses out to conquer everywhere, isn't it a good opportunity to go straight to the nest and draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle?" ”

"What Master Meng said is that once Chen Sheng is in danger, the thieves he sent will definitely come back to help, and then they will be able to defeat the thief army in the past." Feng Qujian stood up and said.

Hearing this, most of the courtiers in the DPRK also bowed down to conform, although Fusu was not brave and wristy, but his ability was not bad, plus Meng Yifeng was assisted, so most of the ministers in the DPRK and China were upright and competent, and their reactions were also very fast.

"This" Fusu was still a little hesitant when he heard this, he naturally knew that he should focus on the overall situation now, but the last time Zhao Jun exterminated Ge Ying, it had already caused an uproar in the court, both the officials and the Qin people admired Zhao Jun very much, if he was really making any meritorious deeds

The ministers also understood Fusu's concerns, and Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly, Fusu's ability and virtuousness are a little, but compared with the first emperor, the courage and wrist are almost more than a little bit.

At this time, Li Si glanced up at Fusu, and after pondering, he decided to take a heavy medicine, bowed down and said: "The refusal of the minister knows, in addition to Chen Sheng, there are several other anti-thieves in the world who are stronger, and Wu Bingchen of Hengshan County will not say it, Your Majesty must know it, if it were not for the southern army, I am afraid that the army would have been sent a long time ago."

It is worth mentioning that Liu Bang of Peixian County and Xiang Liang of Huiji, both of whom have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, especially after Xiang Liang is General Xiang Yan, has a very high prestige in Chudi, and now his strength is increasing day by day, and the first emperor was also very taboo about the Xiang family. ”

"That's what the prime minister said." Fusu nodded, his face was bitter, and his heart became more and more panicked, Chen Sheng was still just a grassroots rebel, but the Xiang family was different, and the development was probably not weaker than Chen Sheng.

Li Si continued: "Now they are not moving, one is to develop their forces, and the other is to take into account the sharpness of Shenwu Hou in Linzi, speaking of which is still Your Majesty's original four-pole power to lock the sky, Shenwu Hou should be the sword of my Great Qin at this time, and he will not hesitate to kill all the traitors in the world."

In other words, if Your Majesty is a brother and does not need to love and care, then the sword will be dusty, and the thieves in the world will have no worries for a long time, I am afraid that they will rise up in groups and attack Xianyang, and I am afraid that I will be powerless to return to the sky at that time. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Si, and at the same time praised him in their hearts.

In fact, Meng Yi and Feng Quji also understood this truth, Fusu has always been taboo against Zhao Jun, and if he abandons it, sooner or later he will let all the anti-thieves see through it, so that they will be more unscrupulous, but no one dares to say it, because they are afraid of angering Fusu.

Although Meng Yi and Feng Quji were ministers and had no such concerns, they were afraid that it would backfire, and they were worried that Fusu would be even more reluctant to use Zhao Jun when he was angry.

However, Li Si solved this problem, he first explained the seriousness of the matter to attract enough attention from Fusu, and then when he mentioned Zhao Jun, he slapped Fusu on the back by the way.

In the end, when he proposed to let Zhao Jun send troops, he was even more tactful, and even deliberately suppressed Zhao Jun in Fusu, saying that Fusu was taking into account the friendship of brothers, and he was reluctant to let Zhao Jun send troops under his love.

This sentence is a soft knife, when Fusu was extremely comfortable, it forced Fusu to order the Zhao army to send troops, otherwise, Fusu would only care about his personal feelings and not be the public enemy emperor.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise it, and even Feng Quji, who had never been very amicable with Li Si, had to cast a look of admiration at Li Si.

Fusu was even more temperamental and wanted to smile and glared at Li Si, and after a while, he had to follow Li Si's words and said: "Well, what the prime minister said is reasonable, I was too worried about the second brother before, so that the state affairs were unclear, and I immediately issued an edict to order the second brother to send troops to Chen County to exterminate Chengshen." ”

After hearing this, all the ministers bowed down and praised: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

However, after a while, Chun Yuxu, who was already a court lieutenant, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Shenwu Hou only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he break through Chen County in a short time, besides, Nanyang is not far from Chen County, Song Liu can reinforce in time, and if Zhou Wen is desperate to capture Hangu Pass, wouldn't it be dangerous for me to Xianyang?" ”

"You can follow some of the soldiers and horses of Tianfu, and work together with His Majesty's left and right Yulin Guards to rush to Hangu Pass to defend it, and take the risk of Hangu Pass, as long as you defend it with all your might, there should be no problem." Feng went to say quickly, and several other ministers also nodded, at present, there are only these horses, and that's all.

It's just that Chun Yusu sneered: "But what if Shenwu Hou can't break through Chen Jun for a long time?" Zhou Wen has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Wu Guang is in Sanchuan County, which is a great threat, and the soldiers and horses of Shuntianfu have not fought for many years, and have gradually turned into local forces in charge of public security, how to fight with Zhou Wen, and Yu Linwei is His Majesty's guard, which is related to His Majesty's safety. ”

"You" Feng was stunned for a moment, and Meng Yi also glanced at Chun Yuxu coldly, he was obviously arguing with strong words, how could there be no danger in a war, who could guarantee it.

The other ministers also looked at each other angrily, but they dared not speak angrily, Chun Yusu held the big hat of the emperor's safety in his hand, and no one dared to say more, even Li Si bowed his head and did not speak, Mingzhe to protect himself.

Fusu's face on the emperor's throne was cloudy, he didn't have the courage of the first emperor after all, what Chun Yuxu said made him very worried, afraid that the Zhao army had not yet broken through Chen County, Zhou Wen would break through Hangu Pass, although Fusu was virtuous, but since he became the emperor, he also attached great importance to his own life, and he really didn't want to reduce Yu Linwei.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

"Your Majesty, please lead the troops to attack Zhou Wen."

At this time, a sonorous and powerful sound suddenly sounded in the main hall, and I saw Shaofu Zhang Han striding out, walking to the middle of the main hall, and bowing down.

"Huh?"

The ministers in the palace were all stunned, and looked at Zhang Han in surprise, and even Fusu looked at Zhang Han in confusion.

No one expected that Zhang Han, who has always been silent and obedient in the past few years, would suddenly make an amazing move.

How can he, a tax administrator, say to call in soldiers to fight? Where did Xianyang get the extra soldiers and horses?

Fusu's face changed a few times, and finally looked at Zhang Han, who was already middle-aged, and said: "Zhang Shaofu has Great Qin in his heart, worries about the country and the people, and his desire to fight is commendable, and I am very relieved.

However, leading troops to fight is not child's play, this battle is more related to the fate of my Great Qin, it's not that I don't believe in Aiqing's ability, it's just that you are responsible for paying taxes, which is civilian, and it is not the same way as the military, how can you go to the battlefield? ”

The ministers in the palace nodded in unison, what the emperor said was indeed good.

However, Zhang Han looked firm and said loudly: "The minister is willing to make a military order, not defeat Zhou City, and the minister will die!" (To be continued.) )
