Xingyang.

The wind and rain are shaking, all parties gather here, this important town of Sanchuan has become a new target for Liu Bang's interests to be bundled, and Zhao Ben, who is still immersed in infighting, is very slow to respond to the military actions of the anti-Qin coalition forces after the Battle of White Horse.

finally squeezed Yang Xiong out of Xingyang, which made Zhao Ben very proud for a few days, from the third-in-command to the number one, from only nodding and agreeing to look at people's eyes, to the power in the hands of the country, Zhao Ben realized the benefits of power.

Zhao Ben and Wang Ming have gathered a group of vested interests around them, and their means of obtaining wealth are very simple, that is, to frame and suppress rebellion, and then fabricate accusations to put the resisting people in prison or kill. At this point, Zhao Ben and his uncle Zhao Gao's methods are no different.

In the face of huge wealth, Zhao Ben has been blinded, in his opinion, the fortified city of Xingyang is strong enough, since Wu Guang's hundreds of thousands of people have not been able to break the city, then who else dares to come to Xingyang's idea.

Out of prudence, Zhao Ben had previously ordered the guards on the north bank of Baima to withdraw to the city to consolidate the city, making the number of Qin troops in the city reach 10,000, although most of them were newly recruited after Yang Xiong left, and their combat effectiveness was limited, but if they were used to defend the city, Zhao Ben thought it was enough.

In the face of the imminent threat of Liu Bang's army, Zhao Ben didn't care, which made the neutrals who had always been respectful of Zhao and Li Neidou unable to sit still.

Once Xingyang falls, Zhao Ben is not the only one who is unlucky.

Zongzheng House.

Chen Di's recent mood is very depressed, this trip to Sanchuan made him personally feel the shaking of the foundation of Daqin, Xianyang is located in the hinterland of Guanzhong, there is Hangu Pass to block, even if the Kanto side is upside down, as long as Zhao Gao ordered people to intercept messengers in Hangu, Wuguan and the north of the clouds, what Xianyang heard, it was still a good situation of singing and dancing.

It's all about it, hang high. Chen Di has always had an attitude of not participating in and not caring about the internal fighting in Xingyang, Prime Minister Zhao Gao is powerful, and it is not something that he can regret as a marginal royal family, and let Chen Di help and abuse like Wang Ming, to slander Li Si and Li You's father and son, Chen Di can't do it.

Silence is also a silent revolt.

Chen Di's attitude is changing, and the attitudes of other people who are not in harmony with Zhao Ben and Wang Ming are also changing, and when Liu Bang's army appeared outside the city, Ying Yushu, who had been forbearing, made a move, and Zongzheng Chen Di was the first object of her lobbying.

"This palace heard that Chen Zongzheng has been restless for a period of time, and specially brought the best incense to calm the nerves, this incense is still left by the emperor, it has been almost two years for a while, and this palace is very tight." Ying Yushu is still dressed in plain clothes, and only a small yellow flower is obliquely inserted at the root of her hairline, which looks extraordinarily simple and elegant.

Bringing the first emperor out is to show his identity, although Hu Hai killed his brothers and sisters, as long as he doesn't kill Ying Yushu for a day, then Ying Yushu is still the eldest princess of Qin State, or a noble royal family.

"The eldest princess killed the minister, it stands to reason that the minister should have come to visit the eldest princess first." Chen Di was honestly afraid, and his words sounded good, but the fact is that a few days ago, he deliberately distanced himself from the Li family, for fear of setting himself on fire, and now Ying Yushu came to his mansion in person, if Zhao Ben and Wang Ming knew, it would be really unclear.

"Oh, this palace is waiting for Zongzheng to drive in the mansion, I hope it won't be too long, this palace can afford to wait, the rebels outside can't afford to wait." Ying Yushu said, and without waiting for Chen Di to reply, he got up and left Chen's mansion.

She came today to give Chen Di a chance, whether she can catch it or not depends on Chen Di's attitude. If Chen Di pays a return visit, then it is possible to talk about the alliance next, if Chen Di is still afraid of Zhao Gao's power and does not make a choice, then Ying Yushu does not need to work Chen Di anymore.

In Sanchuan County and Xingyang, after the management of Li Si and Li You's two generations of father and son, the foundation of the Li family has long been buried deep underground, and Zhao Ben can cut off the trunk of the tree, but he can't uproot the Li family. Zhao Ben, an officer at the level of a military marquis and a qu chief, can be bribed, and the county commander and county lieutenant can be wooed, and Zhao Ben is not expected to be interested in paying attention to such non-popular characters as the chief of the army, the chief of the army, or the small official and the prison sword, and the potential of the Li family is hidden in it.

Once this potential bursts out, it is enough for the Li family to turn over, of course, this requires an excellent leader.

Li Si has served as the prime minister of Qin for many years, it is impossible not to have his own shili, in the issue of choosing the prince, Li Si did make a mistake, Hu Hai, the young king's mediocrity, he did not expect it, Li Si actually Yujian was not good, and Li You was appointed as the county guard of Sanchuan in order to maintain a back road.

With the military power in hand, he is not afraid of any changes in Zhao Gao.

Li Si's idea is very good, but people are not as good as heaven, he never thought that the anti-Qin wave set off by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would make his layout come to naught.

In Xianyang, Zhongshu ordered Zhao Gao to immediately launch a palace coup d'état after mastering the military power of Xianyang, and gave Li Si, Feng Quji and other ministers who had different opinions to death or imprisoned.

By the time Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were defeated, the general trend of the DPRK and China was irreversible. Zhao Gao's confidant, Shaofu Zhang Han became the general of the Qin State, and Zhao Gao's strength suddenly increased greatly, and he had far surpassed Li Si. Li You had few soldiers and could only obey Zhang Han's orders, which was also the reason why he was finally defeated by Yongqiu.

After Li You's death, the actual controller of the Li family was replaced by Ying Yushu, which was the only option in a helpless situation. In the period of history that Li Yuan did not cross, Ying Yushu was like a canopy of floating withered grass in the long river, rising and falling with the wind, leaving no trace.

――。

The river is surging, the snowflakes of early winter have begun to fall one after another, and in a few days, when another wave of cold currents from the northern grasslands moves south, the great river that has been running for three seasons will also be frozen.

A fleet of Qin army grain carriers from Luoyang is heading down the river, which is a team of three building ships, eleven flat-bottomed warehouse ships, and more than 360 sailors, and their purpose is Changyi, the large granary set up by the Qin State in the eastern part of the country. However, before reaching Changyi, the fleet had to stop through Xingyang for supplies.

In the land war, the anti-Qin coalition army won successive victories, which posed a great threat to the water transportation of the Qin army, if it were not for the two armies of Zhang Han and Wang Li of Zhao Di who were in urgent need of food and straw, it would be impossible for the Qin navy to take the risk of traveling this time.

Towering building ship bow.

A tall, dark-faced young Qin general stood, letting flakes of snow fall onto his black armor, and after a while, white snow covered his entire body.

"Well, Li Du, Captain, the wine is warm!" The cabin door of the building opened, and Gu Yun was dressed in men's clothes, and he lifted the curtain heroically.

Li nerd--, what a nerd.

On this cold day, he stood at the bow of the boat, not knowing what to think.

Gu Yun didn't believe that Li Yuan wouldn't be able to see her gender, but this nerd just didn't ask, and treated her like other relatives, which made Gu Yun's heart feel like a cat scratching, itchy and afraid to scratch.
