Chapter 159: The Change of Seizing the Door (I)

But Doujie didn't think so, he was simple-minded, he thought that as long as he killed Han Xin, then Ziying, the king of Qin, would stand up and raise his arms and shout, so that the Qin army would turn against each other.

He obviously didn't understand what kind of influence Han Xin had in this new Qin army, which was no longer the army that was loyal to the King of Qin alone, it already had its thoughts, its choices—that is, the choice of the direction that was beneficial to the Qin state, and was no longer limited to the Win Qin state.

The fundamental reason for the failure of Chang Yu's rebellion in the past was that he did not successfully mobilize the garrison of Xianyang, obviously Han Xin was not Chang Yu, he had an extremely deep foundation in the army, even if he didn't rely on the tiger talisman, he could easily mobilize tens of thousands of troops, even if it was for them to besiege the frame of King Qin!

Han Tan understands this truth, and Prime Minister Meng Jian knows that it is powerful, so both of them are trying to persuade Ziying to dispel this idea. Meng Jian has been the prime minister of Qin for a long time, and he has been fighting against Han Xin for nearly a year, and he is most clear about his influence in the Qin army. So when Chu Ziying summoned him to discuss the killing of Han Xin, Meng Jian was taken aback, and immediately opposed fiercely.

Previously, he was very willing to join forces with Ziying to limit Han Xin's power that had swelled to the point of no return, but it didn't mean that he wanted to kill Han Xin. No one understands Han Xin's significance to the Qin State and the Qin Army better than him, the Qin State survived the critical situation completely by this person's ability, if Han Xin ambushed him, then the Qin State would be without the Optimus Pillar, and the collapse would be imminent.

And Ziying's eagerness to kill Han Xin also made him deeply chilled, no matter what, Han Xin had made great contributions to the Qin State after all, and his remarks were not revealed, but Ziying was so anxious to kill him after he came to the court, how could this not make Meng Jian feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Before the cunning rabbit died, he was anxious to cook the hound, and before the birds were finished, he was busy destroying his bow. No matter where you look at it, Ziying doesn't look like a qualified King of Qin, he is too calm and impetuous. At that time, his grandfather, the First Emperor, waited for the opportunity to kill with one blow, and was a puppet emperor for nine years, and only after accumulating strength did he strangle the Chang Yu Group and the Lü Buwei Group in one fell swoop.

But Ziying, who has always been gentle and friendly, is like being in an evil spirit, ignoring Meng Jian's hard persuasion, insisting on going his own way, Meng Jian had no choice but to choose to stand on his side, promising to listen to his arrangements and stabilize the situation in Qin for him to deal with the aftermath.

And at this time, the happiest is undoubtedly Anyang Jun Doujie, after being summoned by his cousin Ying, he immediately selected more than 1,000 people from the diners at home, closed Ziying and assigned him a total of more than 3,000 people, and used it as a battalion of the Yulin Army to settle in Xianyang Palace, taking over Yulin in charge of the defense of the six gates of the palace.

Ziying's intentions naturally couldn't be concealed from the old and shrewd Wang Qi, and he quickly sensed that Ziying seemed to be going to make some big moves against Han Xin. This old fox with the motto of Mingzhe to protect himself was afraid, he was afraid of being drawn into the fierce conflict between the royal power and the military power, you must know that he was the soldier of Xianyang, and he was one of the most important generals, no matter who wanted to make the first move, it would definitely not be able to bypass him.

Therefore, Wang Qi chose to tell Ziying to ask for a leave of absence, handed over the military power in his hand, and he hid back in the house to thank the guests and never go out.

Wang Qi's concession gave Ziying more room to play, he unceremoniously accepted Wang Qi's leave, and by the way, he sent his cronies to Wang Qi's mansion to reward him greatly. An Yangjun was appointed as the commander of Lang Zhongling, in charge of the palace gate Yulin, and the guard in charge of the defense of Xianyang was taken over by Gan Xiao, who was far away in Wuguan, but because it took seven or eight days for the messenger to come and go, the post of guard was temporarily taken over by Han Tan, a close confidant of Ziying.

At this time, An Yangjun rushed to meet Ziying with a group of newly recruited heroes.

Although Han Tan didn't like Anyang Jun in his heart, the etiquette on his face was still passable, so he greeted him and bowed slightly; "The old slave greets the king."

An Yangjun nodded with a big grin and opened his mouth to ask; "Has Your Majesty come down?"

"Your Majesty has just returned to the dormitory, and you are a little tired and rested, if you don't have something important......

Before Han finished speaking, An Yangjun interrupted impatiently; "Benjun knows." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and swaggered away.

Han Tan was stunned for a moment, slightly annoyed in his heart, but it was not easy to attack, his eyes turned to the group of people behind An Yangjun, and he was stunned.

Although these dozens of people were wearing the standard armor of the Yulin Army, no matter how they looked at it, they felt very awkward, especially the unruly eyes on the faces of these people, all of them looked at the palace unscrupulously, and they didn't know how to restrain themselves at all.

Han Tan couldn't help but shouted, "Your Majesty, please stay." ”

An Yangjun stopped, frowned and looked back at Han Tan with displeasure; "If you have something to say at once, your time is very precious."

Han Tan pointed to the crowd behind him and said; "Your Majesty, redeem the old man's clumsiness, these people don't seem to be the feather forests in the palace."

An Yangjun raised his eyebrows, "Of course not, these are all helpers I have worked so hard to find, and the king naturally needs the help of capable people if he wants to achieve great things." ”

Han Tan lowered his voice forward and said, "Your Majesty, these things are extremely secretive things, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death, but you are so public, the old slave is worried about what to do......."

An Yangjun snorted heavily, squinted at Han Tan and said coldly; "This gentleman is doing things on the orders of His Majesty, and it is not your turn to be a minion to dictate your hands."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away, leaving Han Tan alone with his eyes closed and pondering, with a painful look on his face.

He was sad not that An Yangjun had humiliated him, but that he was sad that Ziying was entrusted to a non-person, entrusting his life and social affairs to this kind of person.

Great Qin is in danger!

In fact, Ziying also knows An Yangjun's temperament, but he has no other better choice. Although An Yangjun is self-righteous and tyrannical, he is loyal, loyal to himself, and dependent on blood relatives, so Ziying has to choose him as a confidant.

Meng Jian and Han Tan are indeed worthy of support, but they are not military generals in the end, although Wang Jing and his party are already inclined to confront Han Xin, they are not confidants after all, and they are still not at ease. Thinking about it, only this simple-minded cousin can take advantage of it.

Ziying snuggled on the soft collapse, his fingers knocked lightly on the table intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly opened his eyes and smiled; "Cousin, have you scolded Han Tan again, everyone has heard it from so far away."

An Yangjun saw that Ziying was just silently at first, and gradually became a little distracted when he sat there, and when Ziying opened his mouth, he was startled, and hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully; "Your Majesty, it was Weichen who was reckless and disturbed your rest."

Although An Yangjun is reckless by nature and does not take matters into account, he doesn't know why he holds his breath every time he is in front of Ziying, and even what he says is unconsciously much more elegant. Even he couldn't understand why he, who had always only respected warriors, was so cautious in front of his weak children, thinking that it should be the majesty of the king.

Ziying smiled, waved his hand lightly to signal him to sit down, and said; "It doesn't matter if you disturb the widow to rest, I'm afraid that you and Han will talk about it because of this, which will affect our plans. You must know that there are only a few of you who the widow dares to entrust now, Han Tan He holds the talisman of the Xianyang City Defense Army, if you have a gap with him, it is not a good thing. ”

An Yangjun lowered his head with some trepidation, "The minister is guilty, and he will not commit it again in the future." ”

Seeing him behave like this, Ziying nodded with some satisfaction and said; "That's the best, Han Tan is not a person who doesn't know the importance of the matter, and I hope you can unite and serve the widow together."

"Ministers should do their best."

"By the way, how are the things I entrusted to you going?"

Seeing that Ziying asked about this, An Yangjun couldn't help but show a little smug on his face, and opened his mouth to say; "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have recruited the rangers and heroes they have befriended in the past few days, and recruited them into the pro-army for Your Majesty's use, and there have been more than 100 people with strong martial arts, all of whom can be used as ten, all of whom are rare loyal and good people in my Great Qin."

When Ziying heard what An Yangjun said, she couldn't help but say with joy on her face; "Martial arts? How is that compared to Han Xin, but I heard that his martial arts are very superb,"

An Yangjun originally looked proud, but he couldn't help but choke up when Ziying asked this. I thought that after all, this king was in the deep palace and didn't know anything about the outside world, so he asked such a funny question. You must know that Han Xin is the number one military general in the Qin State, and he was able to fight with Xiang Yu's pervert on the battlefield back then, if he wants to find someone with higher martial arts than him in the Qin State, how can it be possible.

However, although An Yangjun thought so in his heart, he naturally didn't say so, but cleared his throat and replied; "Your Majesty, the formation of a formation in the army is not like fighting and fighting in the market, and it is not that a strong martial artist can run rampant, with these dead soldiers with high martial arts, and then use the formation in the army to practice, you will definitely be able to kill Han Xinge on the spot."

An Yangjun's strong self-confidence finally brought a little confidence to Ziying, he nodded, and said with some anxiety; "Can you rely on all these people you found?"

An Yangjun patted his chest and reassured; "Your Majesty, please rest assured, these people are my brothers' disciples, they will only obey my orders alone, and others will be useless to their orders."

Ziying groaned: "In short, you still have to be careful and careful, you must know that if you fail this time, not only will your lives and my lives be guaranteed, but I am afraid that the country of Daqin will not win in the surname." ”

"Wechen knows." An Yangjun knelt on the ground with a low roar, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the person who is a confidant dies, even if the minister is not Your Majesty's cousin, for your appreciation, I will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up." ”

On the third day of November, tomorrow is the big day when Princess Huayang marries Wuxin Hou Han Xin, in order to celebrate with the people, Ziying specially ordered Xianyang to stay closed for three days and nights, day and night carnival.

In the past year since the Battle of Julu, the Qin people have experienced too many worries and hardships, and have wandered on the borders of almost perishing countries several times, and the Qin State has not organized large-scale celebrations for a long, long time. Therefore, Ziying's pardon, the whole Guanzhong suddenly boiled, the Qin people spontaneously took to the streets to beat gongs and drums to celebrate, and the women hung the festive things at home @ Hongji on the door wall one after another, praying for the eldest princess and the general; The children flocked to the dried melon candy stalls provided by the big family, laughing loudly.

The entire Xianyang City has become a sea of festivities, and everyone sincerely prays for the meritorious general Han Xin, wishing him to be able to have a good relationship with his beloved princess.

And Ying Ke rushed to the Dazheng Palace in Yongcheng at dusk, where she would dress up carefully, and then wait for Han Xin to come to the Dazheng Palace to pick her up after dawn and go to the Taimiao to pay tribute to the ancestors, and then officially marry into the Han family.

Originally, the etiquette of the princess's marriage did not have to be so complicated, but Ying Ke was different, her first emperor's concubine, the aunt of the current King of Qin, and the only remaining princess of the Qin Kingdom. Therefore, Ziying insisted on organizing Yingke's wedding and chose the ceremony in the ancestral temple of Yongcheng.

Because there was only one close relative of Ying Ke, Ziying asked to officiate at the wedding, and followed Ying Ke to Yongcheng early, accompanied by 13,000 troops.

More than 3,000 'Yulin' are the newly recruited guards of Anyang Jun, and the previous Yulin has been following Han Xin for a long time, and Ziying has long been unable to believe it, so he chose this completely trustworthy army to accompany him.

In addition, the accompanying 10,000 troops were led by the general Wang Jing himself, so Ziying was not very clear about Wang Jing's ambiguous attitude, but he basically concluded that Wang Jing would not stop him from killing Han Xin, and should be happy to see this kind of thing happen.

The night before the trip, Ziying thought about it again and again, and secretly summoned Wang Jing, although he did not reveal all his plans, but more or less revealed some of his intentions. Wang Jing is also a smart person, and smart people don't need to speak so directly, just pour the meaning.

Originally, Ziying just wanted to divide Han Xin's military power through Wang Jing, and there were still some people who couldn't trust Wang Jing in his heart, but this time it was an exception. On the one hand, he needs someone in the army to stand up and maintain the situation after Han Xin's death, and this person is none other than Wang Jing. On the other hand, the accompanying army must be firmly controlled in the hands of the main general, and after thinking about it, the only one in the Qin army besides Han Xin who can control his subordinates by prestige is Wang Jing.

Therefore, Ziying had to ask Wang Jing for help, and offered extremely generous conditions.

Wang Jing was silent for a long time after listening to Ziying's words, and finally said a condition, that is, he would never participate, but only lead the army to guard Yongcheng and protect Wang Jiao.

With Wang Jing's words, Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want Wang Jing to do it, his original intention was to let Wang Jing lead his subordinates to control the entire Yongcheng, as for the hands-on matter, just leave it to Anyangjun. If Wang Jing agreed too happily, Ziying would definitely be suspicious in his heart, but it was only after he put forward this condition that Ziying really believed him.

Wang Jing followed him to Yongcheng, while Meng Jian and Han Tan stayed in Xianyang City, and once Han Xin's welcoming party went out, they blocked the four gates and enforced martial law in Xianyang City to prevent them from being attacked by the rebel army afterwards.

But Han Xin still didn't feel anything, he was exhausted from a night of makeup rituals and other tosses, and it wasn't until dawn that he walked out in strange clothes. Although Tian Shi, Zhao Wuji and the others were preoccupied, they couldn't help laughing when they saw Han Xin dressed in a festive outfit, and their eyes were full of banter.

The team that went to Yongcheng to greet relatives was escorted by 5,000 light cavalry, and each soldier was replaced with a polished bright armor, and even the mounts were carefully groomed, looking energetic and heroic. Meng Shi was the only one who followed Han Xin to Yongcheng, and the others were patiently waiting for Han Xin's return to hold a grand night banquet in the city.

The team rushed to Yongcheng for an hour, Wang Jing had already received the news and stood outside the city gate waiting, seeing that the leader in the team was a Han Xin who was dressed in auspicious clothes, he couldn't help but greet him with a dumb smile, and quipped:

"Han Xin, you came so quickly, it seems that you are really anxious about your cousin."

Han Xinle dismounted, smiled when he heard this, and said; "Beautiful women, how can you not be in a hurry, you can enter the city."

Wang Jing was also noncommittal, just glanced at Han Xin deeply, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please: "Please!" ”

Han Xin strode into the city gate with his head held high, and then Meng Shi also wanted to go in with him, but was blocked by Wang Jing's hand.

Meng Shi glared at Wang Jing fiercely, and said viciously: "Wang Jing, what do you mean, Chengxin is uncomfortable with Lao Tzu, right?"

Wang Jing didn't care about his insults, but replied lightly; "Yongcheng is the important place of the temple, unless His Majesty allows people, other idle people are not allowed to enter.

Meng Shi pointed to his nose and glared at Wang Jing and said; "Am I all an idler?"

This time, Wang Jing simply said, "Count." ”

Meng Shi was furious and was about to scold, but Han Xin just glared at him and immediately shut up and stopped.

"Okay, you stay here and wait, remember not to cause trouble for me, today is my big day, if something goes wrong, I will break the boy's leg."

Although Meng Shi was a high-flying person, he was indeed as docile as a kitten in front of Han Xin, so he just lowered his head and whispered "yes".

Han Xin smiled, got on his horse and followed Wang Jing into the city.

After all, Yongcheng has been the capital of the Qin State for 300 years, and the streets of the city are still extraordinary, and it has been deliberately renovated in order to welcome the wedding, which looks extremely bright. It's just that compared with the lively and festive scene in Xianyang, Yongcheng seems to be much more deserted, but it exudes a solemn atmosphere.

Han Xin sat quietly on the horse as usual, Wang Jing silently led the way in front of him, and the two walked the entire street without saying a word. It wasn't until he arrived outside the gate of Dazheng Palace that Han Xin needed to go in alone, that Wang Jing raised his head and said lightly; "Take care."

Han Xin smiled and didn't answer, but just dismounted and walked into the palace gate with the eunuch who was introduced.

Watching the palace door slowly close, Wang Jing bit his lip, waved his horsewhip hard, and then fell off his horse and left.
