Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Yi woke up and couldn't help but light up in his eyes.

Zhang Han lined up the crowd and came to Li Yi, and was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, and ordered the soldiers on the left and right: "You guys go down first, remember, block the news of the loss of Chen Cang, and don't let the people know." ”

After all, this matter is very important, and the time he has been in charge of Xianyang is still short, and the people's will is far from being obedient. On the other hand, Liu Bang treated the people well when he entered Qin, and won the support of the Qin people. If this news spreads, it will inevitably cause public sentiment to fluctuate and have some unpredictable consequences.

"Yes." The soldiers also knew the severity, saluted Zhang Han, and hurriedly closed the door and walked outside.

After retreating, only Han Tan Shicheng and Yingying were left in the room, and Zhang Han leaned down and prepared to inquire about Li Yi's situation in detail.

Before he could speak, Li Yi had already struggled to sit up, and said with a face full of shame: "King, the last general is incompetent and has lost the entire territory of Chen Cang, please punish me." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Han's face sank, he looked at Li Yi and said coldly: "I will naturally not forget the matter of losing the ground and escaping from the battle." Before that, I want you to tell me everything that happened in Chen Cang in detail, and maybe you can atone for your sins. ”

"Thank you, the king, the last general knows that he is guilty of sin, and he does not dare to hope to get away with it." Seeing Zhang Han say this, Li Yi's face showed a grateful look, but his tone was very resolute, and it seemed that he was indeed very remorseful.

Then his expression became serious, and everyone knew that he was finally going to cut to the chase. For a while, Han Tan, Shi Cheng, and Ying Ying all came behind Zhang Han, waiting intently to hear Li Yi say what happened to Chen Cang.

"Since a few months ago, the last general was pardoned by the king, and entrusted with the important task of going to Chencang, and then requisitioned local laborers, built fortifications, and repaired defenses, and worked hard every day, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The land of Chencang is far away from Xianyang. Therefore, the people of Chencang did not know the benevolence and righteousness of the king, and they were generally hostile to the king. But Daqin has accumulated power for a long time, and the people have always been tame, and when the last general is, although there are complaints, they are also peaceful, and there is no opposition. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Han couldn't help but show a helpless expression on his face, indeed, his prestige is okay in Xianyang, and it won't work if it's any further, the reason why the people have no objection is that they have been tamed by Qin Law for a long time.

"A few days ago, the last general received information that a villager had secretly purchased weapons with the intention of rebelling. Because there were too many weapons that flowed into the civilian sector before, I usually just turned a blind eye to the flow of these weapons. Besides, a few villagers couldn't make any big waves, so I didn't pay attention to it at that time, and just sent local officials such as Chen Cang County Cheng to deal with it, and I didn't report it to the king. ”

Zhang Han nodded, there is nothing wrong with Li Yi's handling like this, a few civilians are naturally not worth mobilizing, but how it evolved into the current situation is unexpected.

Li Yi looked at everyone, swallowed his saliva, and continued.

"On that day, the lieutenant of Chengxian County of Chencang County led the troops to quell the rebellion, and returned victoriously within two days, and I did not doubt him, but I forgot about it. I don't want to think that a few days later, this group of thieves will resurge, and the number of people will increase, and it will become more and more intense. Moreover, these thieves are not like civilians, and the marches are all in order, and I have been repelled by them in several attacks.

In fact, there are not many thieves, but most of the Chen Cang army was arranged by me to build fortifications on the Chen Cang Road, so they could not rush to the aid in time. The last general couldn't, so he had to close the city gate and send people to Xianyang for help, thinking that if it dragged on for a day or two, the reinforcements from both roads could arrive, and the siege could naturally be relieved. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yi's face suddenly distorted, and his eyes also projected angry fire.

"That night, one of my henchmen got the news and secretly reported it to me. It turned out that the organizers of this rebellion were actually the people of Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty - although Chen Cangdao had been heavily guarded, a small group of troops could still be mixed in, and this rebellion was done by instigating the villagers.

The county lieutenants and others in Chencang County had all been bribed by the enemy, so they lied about the military situation and let me relax my vigilance. At this moment, this is only the vanguard force, and Liu Bang's army is estimated to be ready to go. ”

"Hmph, I knew it must be Liu Bang's ghost!"

Zhang Han couldn't help but be furious, he thought that Liu Bang would definitely develop with peace of mind during this period of time, but he didn't expect the other party to play cards according to the routine and caught himself off guard.

Han Tan and Shi Cheng behind him were also full of bitterness, according to the previous judgment of the two, Liu Bang just wanted to be in a safe corner, who would have expected that he hadn't gone to Liu Bang for trouble, but the other party had bullied him.

"General Li, can you really be sure that Liu Bang's people are making trouble? Maybe someone is pretending to be in the name of Liu Bang? Han Tan didn't give up, and asked again.

Li Yi looked at this old man, although he didn't know who he was, but he could stand with Shi Cheng, he must not be an ordinary person, and said respectfully at the moment: "This matter is true, it is indeed Liu Bang's doing, Liu Bang's general Fan Xu, has secretly infiltrated Chen Cang at this moment, and the troops attacking the city are under his command, which I have seen with my own eyes." ”

Fan Xu! When Zhang Han heard this name, he couldn't help but show a divine expression.

Now Fan Hao is still a subordinate general under Liu Bang, and he is not famous, Han Tan and others may not know, but he knows it very well. , a dog slaughterer, is not so easy to deal with.

"This, this ......"

After listening to Li Yi's words, Han Tan suddenly became calm, he couldn't figure out what Liu Bang meant, was he really ready to fight among the princes?

Zhang Han waved his hand, signaling Shi Cheng to silence, and then asked Li Yi: "Then how did Chen Cang fall?" How is Zhang Ping now? ”

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about now, and when the rest of the people heard Zhang Han's question, they also consciously closed their mouths, and hurriedly pricked up their ears, waiting for Li Yi's answer.

Li Yi's face was full of frustration, and he said gloomily: "Although I learned of the enemy's conspiracy, I have no power to return to the sky, and I will not wait for me to go to hunt down the county Cheng and others, they have already taken the lead in attacking." On the third watch of the night, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and the city gate was also opened in a panic, and the army outside the city came in, and the defenders of Chencang chose to surrender without much resistance. I really couldn't do anything, so I had to take a few retinues and escape out of the city.

And General Zhang Ping, when he arrived, the rebel army had already mastered the county seat of Chencang, and under an ambush at night, he was also defeated. General Zhang Ping met me on the way to retreat, and in order to let me return to Xianyang as soon as possible to report the military situation, he did not hesitate to return to Chencang with the remnants to snatch the war horse. Then I was able to break out of the encirclement under their cover, but General Zhang Ping was separated by the enemy army, and I saw that I could not escape, so I could only abandon him and flee back to Xianyang alone. ”

Li Yi spoke, with an extremely sad look on his face, and everyone was silent. From Li Yi's narration, they can imagine the thrilling scene at that time. In order to let Zhang Han get the information in time, Zhang Ping was willing to spare his own life, but he was really a man.

After listening to Li Yi's introduction to the situation, Zhang Han slowly got up and stood motionless in the hall, as if he was in deep thought.

Except for him, the rest of the people also had their own thoughts. Han Tan looked at Zhang Han and then at Li Yi, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Since Zhang Han had assigned Li Yi to run in Chencang before, it was clear that he wanted to guard against Liu Bang, but if Zhang Han was vigilant, how could he be suddenly attacked at this moment. Zhang Han is a person, he really can't understand it more and more, but he wants to see how Zhang Han will solve this matter.
