When Xiang Liang established Xiongxin as the king of Chu, at that time, all the five kingdoms were restored, but only Korea was not restored, so Zhang Liang asked Xiang Liang to recover Korea. Xiang Liang agreed to his request and gave him a group of men to operate in his hometown in South Korea. Taking advantage of the aftermath of the battle of Xiang Yu Julu, Zhang Liang also recovered most of the territory of South Korea and established his son Han as the king of Han.

Hearing that Liu Bang was attacking Luoyang, Zhang Liang came to support Liu Bang with a team of men and horses very righteously.

Liu Bang, who was in a dilemma, saw Zhang Liang coming to help, burst into tears with excitement, and held Zhang Liang's hand tightly for a long time. Zhang Liang couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw Liu Bang with such a temperament, and smiled slightly; "I haven't seen Pei Gong for many days, Liang misses it very much, and I heard that Pei Gong is attacking Luoyang, so I came to help."

Liu Bang waved his hand and said angrily; "You and I are like-minded, just like brothers, and if you talk so politely, brother, I will turn my face."

Zhang Liang is also a free and easy person, haha smiled, and he no longer stuck to the subtleties, and the two walked into the camp shoulder to shoulder.

After sitting down to talk about the old days, the two talked about the current war again, and Liu Bang couldn't help but talk about his difficulties with a sad face.

Zhang Liang pondered for a long time, looked at the hanging map and thought about it for a while, and said slowly; "I want to ask my brother, do you want to conquer the city and gain a foothold, or do you want to drive straight into the Qin State."

Liu Bang spread his hands and sighed; "I understand what you mean, Brother Xian, and I don't want to spend too much time entanglement on the road, but further west is Hangu Pass, where there are heavy troops of the Qin State, if I don't capture Luoyang, it is likely that the defenders in the city will be cut off by the defenders of the city."

Zhang Liang nodded and said; "What my brother is very worried about, it's just that the city of Luoyang is strong, and the guards are cautious people, so they will definitely not be able to capture it in the short term, and Hangu Pass is the first pass of the Qin State, and it is heavily guarded, so it is really unwise to attack the Qin State from this road."

Liu Bang's eyes lit up and he asked happily; "What does Brother Yixian mean?"

"Why don't we turn around and head south." Zhang Liang pointed to Wancheng south of Luoyang on the map, "We will capture this place, and then use it as a base to attack Wuguan in the west." Wuguan was the product of the confrontation between Qin and Chu, and later the state of Chu declined, and the state of Qin did not pay more attention to the repair of Wuguan, so the importance of Wuguan and Qin was far less than that of Hanguguan, and this is our opportunity. ”

Liu Bang thought about it for a while, then clapped his hands and laughed; "Brother Xian is really scheming, haha, with you here, what can I worry about." Remembering something again, he asked with some concern; "Wancheng is also a big city, we may not be able to take it."

Zhang Liang said with a smile; "It doesn't matter, that Nanyang County Shou Chao Nie is an impulsive person, he is so happy but short-sighted, and he has his own way to deal with this kind of person."

Liu Bang listened to Zhang Liang's words and felt that it made sense, so he left camp and went south on the second day and went straight to Nanyang County. He also sent Zhou Bo to lead a group of soldiers to Wancheng to besiege the city, pretending to attack.

Seeing that there were not many Chu troops outside the city, Nanyang County boldly went out of the city to meet them, wanting to catch them off guard. Zhou Bo was really caught off guard and fled in defeat, Chao Nie was greedy for merit in his heart, and the rise of killing, he ignored the obstruction of his subordinates and waved his army to chase after him. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Liu Bang's army on the way to catch up, and almost all the army was wiped out, and he fled back to Wancheng by sacrificing his life to protect himself.

Liu Bang followed Zhang Liang's strategy and marched all night, and in the early morning of the second day, he surrounded Wancheng and let civilians pretend to be soldiers holding flags and plant them all over the surrounding hills. When Chao Nie watched the city, he saw that the banners of the Chu army were all over the mountains, and the army was pressed by hundreds of thousands, and his legs were suddenly frightened.

After thinking about it again and again, he sent his subordinate Chen Hui out of the city to ask Liu Bang for peace, and Liu Bang really accepted Chao Nie's surrender very much, and also crowned him as the Marquis of Yin, and ate thousands of households.

Liu Bang's reputation for treating the generals well soon spread, and it immediately had an immediate effect, the Qin guards in various cities surrendered one after another, and Liu Bang also accepted the knighthood one by one - anyway, the title is not valuable, just take a seal and stamp it and let them go to King Chu Huai for reimbursement.

Relying on buying people's hearts, Liu Bang's army fought all the way to Wuguan without blood, and sure enough, as Zhang Liang expected, Qin did not pay much attention to the defense of Wuguan, and there were only 5,000 guards at a huge checkpoint. This time, Liu Bang finally hardened for a while, not relying on any strategy, but just urging the army to attack, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, and Zhou Bo took turns to play, with a momentum of swearing to die.

At the last moment of the Empire's survival, the defenders chose to defend the empire that had abandoned them. All 5,000 armor soldiers were killed in battle, and none survived. The stubborn resistance of the Qin people also cast a shadow in Liu Bang's heart, for fear that he would encounter such stubborn resistance under Xianyang City.

At the head of the city of Wuguan, Liu Bang stood on tiptoe and looked west, as if Xianyang was close at hand. The sunset shone on the city like blood, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, but Liu Bang, who had always loved cleanliness, didn't mind, but he was dead in the west looking at Guanzhong, at this moment, he had only one thought in his heart.

Xianyang, I'm Liu Bang here! The world, I'm Liu Bang here!

At this time, Xianyang was unaware of the huge crisis that was close at hand, or had no time to take care of it, because Zhao Gao was busy with something.

A shocking event - the killing of the king.

He killed Hu Hai, and killed Hu Hai, who had always obeyed him and regarded him as a master and a father.

Hearing that Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu, Zhao Gao was first afraid, then ecstatic, and a thought in his heart quickly spread to his entire mind irrepressibly.

No one in the Qin country can pose a threat to him Zhao Gao anymore, does this mean that he can ascend to the sky in one step and ascend to the throne that has been peeping at for a long time.

Zhao Gao couldn't hold back this crazy thought anymore, he had been waiting for too long, too long, to the point where he felt unbearable. He decided to get started, and Hu Hai was the first stumbling block he needed to move away.

Once upon a time, Hu Hai was his only reliance to save his life, but now it has become an obstacle to his ascension. He found his younger brother Lang Zhong Ling Zhao Cheng and Xianyang Ling Yan Le to discuss the matter of killing the monarch and usurping the throne.

Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's younger brother, and after Zhao Gao became prime minister, he took over Lang Zhongling and was in charge of the palace guards. He was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Gao wanted to rebel, and he strongly agreed. You must know that Zhao Gao was originally a eunuch and had no heirs, if he became the emperor, even if it was not him Zhao Cheng was also his son, sooner or later the country of Great Qin would fall into the hands of his lineage, how could he not be excited.

As for Yan Le, he is Zhao Gao's son-in-law, and he can also be said to be Zhao Cheng's son-in-law. Because Zhao Gao has no queen, Zhao Cheng passed on a son and a daughter to Zhao Gao's heir, and Yan Le's wife is this daughter, and he naturally obeys the proposals of his two old fathers-in-law.

Zhao Gao did not intend for him to come forward to kill Hu Hai, he was worried that the infamy of killing the monarch would make him carry it for the rest of his life, and it would not be conducive to him becoming the emperor Guanzhong. And he didn't want to see Hu Hai, afraid that Hu Hai would ask him why he wanted to kill him.

People are not grass and trees, even if he Zhao Gao is hard-hearted and vicious, he and Hu Hai have been dependent on him for more than ten years, and it is impossible for him to have no feelings at all.

Although Yu Lin Wei is Zhao Cheng's subordinate, and Yu Lin's general Wang Qi is also Zhao Gao's party, Zhao Gao is still not sure whether Wang Qi will also stand on his side in such a major matter as killing the king, and Yu Lin's loyalty to King Qin for hundreds of years may not be something that he Zhao Gao can control. So he asked Zhao Cheng to spread rumors in the palace, saying that there were rebels plotting rebellion and were planning to attack the palace gate, and the bluffing Wang Qi transferred most of the Yulin in the palace to guard the palace gate.

After the defense in the palace was empty, Zhao Cheng and Yan Le led more than a thousand henchmen and dead soldiers to the Wangyi Palace, the side hall where Hu Hai moved. They rushed to the palace gate and shouted to the gatekeeper, "The robbers have entered the palace gate, why don't you resist?" The gatekeeper was inexplicable and asked: "There are strict guards inside and outside the palace, how can there be thieves entering the palace?" ”

Yan Le couldn't argue, he raised his knife and killed the gatekeeper, and rushed into Wangyi Palace. When you meet someone, you cut it, and when you see someone, you shoot arrows. For a while, the flesh and blood in the palace were flying and miserable. Hu Hai was resting in the palace at this time, and when he saw the palace, he was stunned, shouting 'help' but no guards came, only a personal little eunuch ran in and shouted, Zhao Cheng and Yan Le led people into the palace.

Hu Hai is not a fool, he has already understood, it is not Zhao Cheng, nor Yan Le, but Zhao Gao wants him to die.

But he still couldn't believe why Zhao Gao wanted to kill him, he had been close to Zhao Gao since he was a child, and he never refused anything that Zhao Gao proposed after ascending the throne. Zhao Gao wants power, he gives, Zhao Gao wants to be prime minister, he lets it. Now that Zhao Gao has covered the sky in the Qin State, he Hu Hai just stayed in his palace with peace of mind, not asking about any political affairs, he thought that Zhao Gao would let him go in his feelings for many years, but he didn't expect Zhao Gao to still put him to death.

Hu Hai was originally a laissez-faire, uninhibited swinger, his interest in women was far greater than his interest in power, and his original destiny was to be an unscrupulous man who spent his life drunk and dreamed of death. However, Zhao Gao imposed the imperial throne on his head, making him Qin II and the emperor of this Great Qin Empire.

The tragedy of his life is that he believed in someone, in someone he shouldn't have been.

Still a little unwilling, he pointed to the little eunuch; "Since you all know that Zhao Gao is going to rebel, why has no one ever told me."

The little eunuch bowed his head, and said; "It is precisely because the slave usually does not dare to speak that he can live to this day. Otherwise, he would have been given death by the emperor a long time ago. ”

It wasn't until this moment that Hu Hai came to his senses, and he felt that his life seemed to be a farce, as absurd as what he usually did, and all this was his own fault, and he couldn't blame anyone.

He suddenly calmed down, his face was calm, he was no longer afraid, but looked at the little eunuch and said with a smile; "Everyone has run away, why don't you run?"

The little eunuch mustered up the courage to raise his head, but his eyes were full of determination, and he said loudly; "Although the villain has never read any books, he also knows that he is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, I am a Qin person, so I naturally want to die with His Majesty."

Hu Hai nodded and said; "I didn't expect you to be a loyal and righteous person, but it's a pity that I misled the country and people in my life, and I was destined to be a faint king after death, so I wronged your loyalty."

At this time, Zhao Cheng and Yan Le had already entered the hall with their swords. Hu Hai didn't panic when he saw the two.

Seeing Hu Hai's strange expression, Zhao Cheng and the others couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately looked around vigilantly, for fear that Hu Hai had buried some ambush.

"Don't look at it, except for this little eunuch, I'm alone, let's say, what are you two doing in the palace?"

Zhao Cheng laughed and said with a smug face; "The two of them came to send His Majesty on the road, yesterday the first emperor asked the prime minister, saying that he missed His Majesty very much, and the prime minister sent me and other two people to send His Majesty to the underground to meet the first emperor in order to let His Majesty fulfill his filial piety."

Hu Hai's face turned pale and he laughed miserably; "If that's the case, can I meet the prime minister?"

Yan Le on the side snorted heavily and said impatiently; "What so much nonsense, the prime minister has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to see you, a dying man. Hu Hai, if you know each other, you can kill yourself, and you can still end up with a whole corpse. ”

Hu Hai nodded and said; "Zhao Gao really didn't dare to see me, he was still weak in the end, and he knew that he was sorry for me. Well, then I'll take matters into my own hands and bring the sword. ”

Zhao Cheng handed over the sword indifferently, he knew that Hu Hai was just a playboy, even if the sword was in his hand, he would definitely not be able to hurt himself. Hu Hai took the sword tremblingly, gritted his teeth and raised it, but he couldn't do it for a long time.

At this time, the little eunuch on the side suddenly rushed up, grabbed the sword and stabbed it into his chest and abdomen, Hu Hai was shocked, and hurriedly supported him, the little eunuch trembled and reached out to grab Hu Hai's sleeve, and tried to squeeze out the last sentence: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, even if you die, you cannot lose the majesty of the Son of Heaven." ”

Hu Hai slowly put down his corpse, stood up, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "The dignified Great Qin, at the last moment, there was only one eunuch who was loyal, Hu Hai, Hu Hai, you should be the emperor like this, there is no reason to be immortal!" ”

After speaking, he drew his sword and wiped his neck, and blood was splashed on the spot.

It is a pity that the First Emperor extinguished the rebellion of Chang Yu at this age and ascended to the throne of Great Qin's self-esteem, while his son Hu Hai was killed by the rebellion at this age.

The bronze Xuanniao high up outside the Jique Palace still quietly watched the Qin State that it had guarded all its life, like a day for hundreds of years, although it had been bleeding like a river under its feet.
