Chapter 4 Li Xin

Qin Shi Huang raised his arrogant head, and a pair of tiger eyes quietly stared at Zhao Quan on the top of the city tower and said, "Open the door." ”

No one on the city wall responded to Qin Shi Huang's words, and Zhao Quan even pulled out the sword in his hand and pointed at Qin Shi Huang: "Come on, this person must be the Zhao State spy who pretends to be the king, don't catch this person quickly." ”

"Bold!!" Qin Shi Huang shouted angrily, and scolded loudly in the face of the hundreds of crossbows on the city wall: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, the widow is the lord of the Qin State, and it is up to you to see who dares to move." ”

There was a slight commotion on the walls.

Many soldiers put down their bows and arrows in their hands and said, "When the king went out on a hunting trip to the city last year, I was fortunate enough to see the king's holy face, and it seemed exactly like him. ”

"Yes, yes, I've seen it, this city can't really be a king, so how can we use an arrow at the king?"

Zhao Quan listened to the voices of the soldiers beside him, frowned, and said, "Didn't you hear the order of the Prime Minister, this person is a spy of Zhao State, and the general is aimed at him." ”

At this time, Zhao Quan no longer planned to capture Qin Shi Huang alive, just because Qin Shi Huang gave him too terrible feeling, just in case, it was better to remove this great harm for the prime minister as soon as possible.

The soldiers looked at each other's expressions, and immediately aimed the hard crossbow in their hands at Qin Shi Huang.

"Presumptuous! Is it his allegiance to Lu Buwei, or the lord of Great Qin! ”

Qin Shi Huang raised his eyebrows, and with a wave of his big hand, he pointed to Zhao Quan on the city wall and said loudly: "Zhao Quan, the widow remembers you, you were originally from Zhao State, you killed people in Handan when you were young, and then fled to Qin State to join the army, and it took you twenty years to get to this position, do you really plan to make a desperate bet and be a rebel with him Lu Buwei?" ”

Zhao Quan shook his head and smiled: "King, everyone has their own ambitions, Lu Guo has a great favor to me, and I, Zhao Quan, am not a person who does not understand the Entu report, I am afraid that I will wronged you today." ”

Zhao Quan didn't notice how stunned the other soldiers around him, except for his own cronies, when he said this, except for his own cronies.

Qin Shi Huang under the city showed a sinister smile: "So, you Zhao Quan admitted that the widow is the real King of Qin, and also admitted, "you" are the rebels who tried to kill the king and usurp the throne?" ”

Zhao Quan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at the soldiers beside him, all the soldiers looked at him and subconsciously took a step back, as if they couldn't believe that the person in front of him was their main general.

At this moment, Zhao Quan was trembling with anger all over his body, what a King of Qin, it was really not simple, he was actually caught up in a few words, it seems that he has betrayed the reputation of this king-killer, so since this is the case, he has nothing to hide.

Zhao Quan shouted uncontrollably at the soldier beside him: "What are you still doing in a daze, release arrows, release arrows to the general?" ”

An ordinary soldier of the Qin State was at a loss and said: "But general, it is the king standing under the city, how can we release arrows at the king." ”

Zhao Quan took the sword in his hand and pointed it at the soldier's chest and said fiercely: "If you dare to disobey the military order, I will be the first to kill you." ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Qin Shi Huang hurriedly shouted at the soldiers on the city wall: "Soldiers, he Zhao Quan has already made up his mind to rebel, do you also want to bear the reputation of killing the king?" ”

"Lay down your weapons, and the widow hereby assures you that he will not be guilty of the past."

Except for the cronies beside Zhao Quan, all the soldiers were shaken.

If so, who would want to be charged with treason? The ancients have always valued their reputation more than their lives!

So, a soldier looked at the Qin army beside him, the first one finally put down the weapon in his hand, with the first, there was a second, with the second, there was a third, with a bang, at least two-thirds of the soldiers on the city wall put down the weapons in their hands.

Seeing this, Zhao Quan looked at his subordinates angrily, all the betrayals left, all the betrayals left, just now even a deputy general he had personally trained put down the weapons in his hands, and persuaded him not to be obsessed.

Zhao Quan gritted his teeth, simply snatched the crossbow arrow in the hands of his cronies and aimed it at Qin Shi Huang under the city, and said with a hideous face: "King, on the Huangquan Road, don't blame the last general." ”

"Zhao Quan, you dare!!" Meng Tian quickly blocked in front of Qin Shi Huang.

Huang Xiaowei also aimed the repeating crossbow in his hand at Zhao Quan on the side, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, chaos suddenly broke out on the city wall.

At this time, the crossbow arrow in Zhao Quan's hand fell to the ground weakly, he looked at the sharp blade in his chest, turned around in despair, and said, "Li Xin...... You ......."

"Boom," Li Xin pulled out the sword that stabbed Zhao Quan in the chest, kicked his body out of the city, and then shouted, "The lord Zhao Quan is rebellious, and you don't quickly strangle his comrades to ask the king for guilt." ”

Almost without Li Xin's words, at the moment of Zhao Quan's death, dozens of his henchmen were besieged by everyone, and they died in a few moments.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at Zhao Quan's corpse not far away, and didn't say anything, he Zhao Quan embarked on this road, he should know what the fate of the loser is.

Li Xin took dozens of soldiers and went down the city wall, walked quickly to Qin Shi Huang, knelt down on one knee and said, "Minister Li Xin see the king." ”

Qin Shi Huang smiled and helped Li Xin up from the ground, and looked him up and down, what a heroic young general.

Qin Shi Huang had a smile on his face and said, "Li Xin, it's very good, the widow remembers this name, say what reward do you want?" ”

Li Xin lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Qin Shi Huang, and said respectfully: "Returning to the king, the ministers dare not beg the king for a reward, I only hope that you can avoid the above crimes of the soldiers before." ”

"I will know my mistake, and I ask the king to forgive me."

Thousands of Qin soldiers on the city wall all knelt down and chanted at this moment, hoping that Qin Shi Huang would forgive them for their previous sins.

Qin Shi Huang didn't think about it and said loudly: "The so-called ignorant are not to blame, not to mention that the widow has said before, and you will not be held accountable, so get up." ”

Qin Shi Huang changed his words and said, "General Li, how many people do you have?" ”

Li Xin said: "Back to the king, there are 1,500 soldiers at the end of the general. ”

When Qin Shi Huang heard this number, his brows furrowed, "How can it be so few, the widow remembers that there are at least three thousand defenders at each city gate, why are you only half here?" ”

Li Xin hugged his fists and said: "Back to the king, a few days ago, the military rations in the north ran out, and General Wang transferred half of the soldiers and horses from our north gate to escort the grain and grass. ”

"Oh, that's right," Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but be disappointed when he got Li Xin's answer, he thought that there were 3,000 soldiers and horses available for his own use, but only half of them were left, which was a bit difficult to do.

Meng Tian smiled and said to Li Xin on the side: "General Li is still bothering you to open the city gate quickly, we are going to General Meng Wu's camp to send reinforcements and kill Lu Buwei, a traitor." ”

Li Xin immediately waved his hand and motioned to his soldiers to open the city gate.

Huang Xiaowei and Cao Cao Liu Bei, including Huo Quai, four people, who had been standing in the distance just now and did not come forward, Huang Xiaowei looked at Li Xin for a long time and said: "Old Cao, is this Li Xin the defeated general in history who said that an army of 200,000 could destroy Chu, but was beaten into a dog by the Chu State?" ”

Cao Cao bowed his head and said: "I think the eight achievements are him, and now I finally understand why the King of Qin would rest assured that he would hand over the 200,000 army to his commander." ”

Liu Bei touched his beard and groaned: "Li Xin's move today has won the trust of King Qin and paved the way for himself to advance, but the defeat in the future may be precisely because of his outstanding performance today. ”

Huang Xiaowei sighed: "The cycle of cause and effect, this is fucking history." ”

When the city gate opened, Qin Shi Huang did not move, but stood there and thought for a full five minutes.

After thinking about it, Qin Shi Huang actually brazenly ordered: 'General Li asks you to leave two hundred people to guard the city gate, and be sure to guard the city gate before the reinforcements arrive, and the rest will come with the widows. ”

"General Meng, you immediately go to the camp of the old general Mengwu to explain the rebellion of Lu Buwei, and ask him to quickly lead the soldiers and horses into the city to quell the rebellion, remember to tell the old general that after the 50,000 soldiers and horses enter the city, control the remaining three gates first, and never let anyone escape from Xianyang."

"After doing all this, let him come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the widow, and we are discussing the next step together."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "King, this is absolutely not good, you should go to your father's camp with the last general first, after all, your safety is the first priority." ”

Li Xin also persuaded on the side: "King, what General Meng said is extremely true, you can't risk your life, these things should be left to the last generals." ”

Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said arbitrarily: "The widow's mind has been decided, you don't need to say it anymore, besides, LΓΌ Buwei is now busy searching for widows all over the city, and he will definitely not think that the widows will go to dig his lair, we just hit him by surprise, if we can capture LΓΌ Buwei alive, it is the best." ”

Meng Tian still disagreed, and just wanted to persuade again, but Qin Shi Huang named the stakes for him and said: "General Li, General Meng, you let the widow take refuge in General Mengwu's camp, it is true that this can ensure the safety of the widow's life, but this Xianyang City is full of Lu Buwei's eyes, and he will soon learn the news that the widow has taken refuge in the city, so what will he do next, he will definitely send someone to control the north gate first, and not let us enter the city." ”

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses in Xianyang City will obey Lu Buwei's orders, not to mention the 50,000 forbidden troops of the outnumbered, there are nearly 10,000 defenders in the three cities in the east, west and south, 60,000 soldiers and horses, he Lu Buwei is shrinking in Xianyang City as a turtle, what should we do?"

"Only a strong attack! Sixty thousand against fifty thousand, one on the city and one under the city, you know what the result is.? ”

Qin Shi Huang continued: "Not only that, once he Lu Buwei announced to the world, saying that General Mengwu had killed the widow with his rebellion, and took 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xianyang City, in less than three days, the widow dared to guarantee that at least 300,000 soldiers would come to the city, and then he would really have no power to return to the sky." ”

"Therefore, it is the best way for the widow to rush straight to LΓΌ Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion with 1,300 soldiers."

Meng Tian pondered for a while and spoke: "But the king is not dead, once the army of King Qin arrives, as long as you appear in front of the formation, the guards in various places will definitely turn against you." ”

Qin Shi Huang smiled coldly, "Yes, do you really think so?" The so-called unpredictable people, LΓΌ Buwei has controlled the government for so many years, how can you be so sure that there are no people in the army who are not him, and have you forgotten what the fast horse said before, there are Zhao State spies pretending to be widows, pretending, understand? ”

"Even if there are generals who are loyal to my Great Qin, once they see that we are in danger and Lu Buwei has the upper hand, do you think they will choose to be outnumbered by the enemy, or Mingzhe to protect themselves?"
