While using the city as bait, the city itself is also a cage. The long night, the scheming, the 100-meter light wall, the predicament of the lockdown.

Since you can't fight a bloody battle with your compatriots in a country, then trap them in the city, and since you want to avoid the frontal battlefield, then directly attack the imperial city.

But who would have expected that it was the secret passage under the city that gave Zhang Liang the confidence to use this whole earth-shattering plan, and it was precisely because of that secret passage that Zhang Liang dared to take the step of locking down the city.

The underneath secret passage that was set up by Xiang Yu many years ago will play a huge role at this moment, and the two exits of the dark passage are outside the front and rear gates of the mausoleum city respectively. When Bai Qi and the others were trapped in the Tomb City, Xiang Yu and the others could bypass the Tomb City through the secret passage, split all the unnecessary enemies, and go directly to attack the Imperial City and settle accounts with Yingzheng!

This was Zhang Liang's plan, from the very beginning, he planned to avoid all enemies and go straight to Xianyang.

Regarding Zhang Liang's plan to attack Xianyang Palace, Liu Bang had some knowledge and expectations before, after all, after trapping Bai Qi and those armies, no one could stop them.

Xiang Yu's eyes lit up with fire, although he was not surprised by this plan, but when Zhang Liang personally said the sentence of attacking Xianyang Palace, he still couldn't hold back the angry flames in his chest.

It's been so long, he's endured it for so long, from the moment he learned the truth of the three years of the country and the true face of Yingzheng, Xiang Yu couldn't help but hold the three-foot Tyrannosaurus Blade to cut Yingzheng's dog head and sacrifice to the sky, but reason and responsibility made him calm down and endure it, until now - Bai Qi and the enemies were trapped in Lingcheng, and there was no obstacle to the way forward, he could finally attack Xianyang and go to Yingzheng to fight!

"Good! In this way, I immediately led the Hundred Beast Legion to attack and rushed to Xianyang with Mulan. Xiang Yu didn't say a word, and agreed with Zhang Liang's strategy.

"I'm fine." Hua Mulan looked at Zhang Liang and said, "However, what should Bian Que do, his life is a huge hidden danger, Lingcheng may be triggered by him at any time, and there is a restless ancient land." ”

"I've already planned this." Zhang Liang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Now that we have avoided the frontal battlefield, we only need a strong army to attack the empty Xianyang Palace City immediately, and we don't need more troops......"

"Therefore, I think that the 100,000 troops transferred from the border city by the King of Chu and the King of Han, plus the tens of thousands of troops who defected from the enemy here, can be sorted out and organized, and then immediately sent back to the border city to consolidate the defense of the border city and delay time for our war in the inner country."

"Then do you think it's better to let this army lead back to the border city?" Xiang Yu suddenly asked, he actually wanted to ask, did he need to send a person with strong strength back to the border city as well, just in case.

"King Han, let King Han lead this army back to the border city." Zhang Liang said and moved his gaze to Liu Bang, "King Han's departure can not only avoid unnecessary accidents along the way, but also allow him to better plan the defense force of the border city and control the crisis of the ancient wilderness." ”

"I'm fine. It's just that we all have a ...... Then who will kill Bian Que to prevent the forbidden art from happening? Liu Bang subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and looked at Zhang Liang.

"Me." Zhang Liang looked away and gently spit out the word.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's eyes flashed, but they didn't say anything, after so many things, they believed in Zhang Liang's decision.

"You're alone?" But there was a trace of concern in Mulan's eyes

"Hmm." Zhang Liang's firm gaze fell on the ancient book of words and spirits in his hand, and said softly.

"I'm going to deal with Bian Que alone."

——Outside the city of Xianyang Palace, deep in the dense forest, by the turbulent stream.

The leaves of the trees were whispering with the wind, the river rocks were flowing with the water, and the mysterious man in a sackcloth cloak was silent on the withered branches, silent.

Han Shin endured the fatigue and pain, propped up his body wrapped in medicinal cloth from the ground, and struggled to straighten his spine.

He bent his neck and exhaled two heavy breaths, then slowly turned around and limped to the edge of the stream, reaching for his armor and clothes that had been washed clean by the stream.

He put his wringed clothes and armor on the rocks on the shore and waited for the sun to dry. During the whole process, Han Xin didn't say a word, and the mysterious man who sat alone on a branch and was silent didn't say a word.

After a long time, the mysterious man slowly spoke: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Go back." Han Xin said firmly and succinctly.

"Where are you going?" The mystery man continued.

"Xianyang Palace." Han Xin's gaze didn't flicker at all, and his consciousness was resolute, "Go back and save Zhaojun." ”

The mysterious man heard Han Xin's resoluteness, but after a long silence, he still persuaded loudly: "Do you think you can save her?" ”

"If you can't save it, you have to save it!" Han Xin said, and without hesitation, he went to put on the clothes and armor that were dried.

"Huh......," the mysterious man let out a long breath of helplessness, and then said:

"Xianyang Palace is heavily guarded, and there are thousands of guards, can you escape the blockade and blockade? There are many strong people in the palace, Arthur, Bai Qi, and Yingzheng are here, can you beat them? Breaking into the Longtan Tiger's Den for the sake of his beloved, the first time can be said to be brave, but the second time is stupid......"

The mysterious man bluntly told the truth, and Han Xin's eyes couldn't help but tremble, and the movement of dressing in his hands stopped.

Han Xin stared at the heavy ground beneath his feet, pain echoing in his eyes.

"She cried......" Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and Han Xin choked at the sadness hanging in his eyes, and said almost silently: "That was the first time I saw her cry......"

"—At that time, my detached soul was suspended from the white bone sickle, and I could bury me on the ground with a single move, and I could do nothing but float into the void, but I had a sense, I heard her crying, I saw her tears—"

"But I can't do anything! Yingzheng! White up! They used my death to force Zhaojun to compromise! But I can't do anything but watch Zhaojun fall to the ground and beg them to spare my life......"

"Don't you cherish the life that was saved with the frost princess's tears?" The mysterious man asked in a deep voice.

"But I'd rather die! I'd rather die than be bullied by them like this! Han Xin turned his head abruptly and said loudly to the mysterious man.

"I don't want to know what kind of treasure the Ice Tears are, and I don't want to know why they want to get Zhaojun's Ice Tears - I just know that they can't let Zhaojun cry! No one! Han Xin stared at his two blood-repellent pupils, and his crazy roar startled the flocks of birds in the forest.

The mysterious man sighed silently and never spoke again.

"I'm going back now, and I'm going to rescue Zhaojun no matter what......" Han Xin sighed and said, "Even if I die with them, I'll rescue Zhaojun." ”

Han Xin put on a light armor suit, walked to the mysterious man with firm steps, and raised his eyes to stare at the mysterious man sitting on the branch.

Han Shin's spear was still in the hands of the mysterious man. He guessed in his heart that the mysterious people were good for him, and he was afraid that he would use force to stop him from moving forward, but he had already made up his mind that he would go back to save Zhaojun no matter what, even if the mysterious people stopped him......

But the mysterious man flipped it with one hand and threw the spear into Han Xin's hand.

Han Xin grabbed the weapon he relied on for a living, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the mysterious man's old face hidden under the cloak was not moved in the slightest.

"You're still young, it's not your fault that you're weak......" In the silent atmosphere, the mysterious man suddenly spoke, "But the path you choose, you can bear it yourself." ”

Han Xin listened, but did not speak, just clenched the spear in his hand and stepped towards Xianyang Palace City without hesitation.

It wasn't until Han Xin walked far away that the mysterious suddenly laughed: "Haha, it seems that you haven't seen the wrong person......"

In the laughter, the mysterious man sighed to himself: "Han Xin...... Han Shin ...... But don't die, you still have a long way to go......"

——Outside the gate behind the mausoleum.

The night is coming to an end, and the grey sky is already bright.

And Zhong Wuyan and the 50,000 Praetorian Guards she led were still lurking silently in the valley three miles away from Lingcheng, without moving.

In the middle of the thousand-kilometer-long army, there are huge steel cages in ten carriages, and in the cages are guarded and bloodied terrifying corpses.

Those powerful and cruel corpse demons were all fed Bian Que's secret sedative, and now they all cowered and squatted in the iron cage with a three-meter-tall backbone, except for their bodies quietly bleeding, they did not move at all.

In fact, it is the sedative that plays a big role, otherwise, if they are not guarded in vain, they will not be trapped by an iron cage at all.

At the front of the army, Zhong Wuyan's war horse was empty, and if you looked closely, you could find that she was leaning on a rock very unfiguratively, holding her thousand-pound hammer, sleeping heavily, and pulling a crystal hara on the side of her half-open mouth.

I don't know where the wind blew down a stone on the top of the mountain, and it happened to fall on Zhong Wuyan's face lying on her side, and it woke her up from her sleep.

"What people! Don't move! Don't move! Zhong Wuyan, who woke up, thought that she had encountered an enemy attack at night, and suddenly straightened her neck, but she used too much force and injured the meridians of her neck, which caused her to scream after waking up.

"Oh! Oh! Zhong Wuyan screamed in pain as she opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the scenery that was gradually brightening up in front of her.

"Fuck...... Why are you asleep again......" Zhong Wuyan scolded with a pout, "If the lets Bai Qi that madman see it, she won't have to cut me to death with a sickle......"

While talking to herself, Zhong Wuyan saw from a distance that there seemed to be a faint flickering fluorescence on the wall of the mausoleum city a few miles away, but the distance was too far, and the sky was misty, so he couldn't see it clearly.

It's really strange, could it be that something happened in the mausoleum? Zhong Wuyan thought, however, without the order sent back by Bai Qi, she couldn't act on her own.

"Really, why did you suddenly fall asleep from sleepiness!" Zhong Wuyan thought that it was estimated that there was some movement last night, but he didn't notice anything when he fell asleep.

Thinking so, Zhong Wuyan wanted to go back to a few soldiers to ask, but as soon as she turned her head and looked around, a group of soldiers were actually silently bowing their heads and sleeping.

In the next moment, a roar like a terrible nightmare woke up the kilometer-long Praetorian Guards—"Who the put you to sleep!! ”

——Outside the gate in front of the mausoleum.

After the new strategy was decided, the coalition side no longer hesitated and immediately began to act, after all, time had left no room for them anymore.

Xiang Yu immediately returned to the mountains and forests to personally mobilize the Hundred Beast Legion.

Zhang Liang stepped lightly into the void and walked to Liu Bang's side, and after leaning into his ear and saying a few words, Liu Bang also rushed to the mountains and forests to lead the other 100,000 main troops, preparing to lead them back to the border city.

Then Zhang Liang stood quietly in the void, waiting with Mulan, waiting for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to finish dealing with the military, and waiting for the dawn after the night faded.

"What did you just say to King Han......" Mulan, who had never cared about the details of others, suddenly asked.

"Uh...... It's nothing, it's just a little thing. Zhang Liang was slightly surprised, and then smiled and said.

"Oh." Mulan tapped and didn't ask deeply.

In fact, she was just a little curious, curious about Zhang Liang's ordinary words and deeds, because she suddenly found that many of the little things Zhang Liang did and some of the words he said contained his deep meaning.

Although, Hua Mulan believes that there will be no malice towards them in these deep meanings.

At this time, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan, who had been busy for more than ten days and nervous all night, felt a little tired.

"Let's go rest for a while, Lan Lan." Zhang Liang looked at Mulan's eyes and said softly, "King Chu and King Han also need some time. ”

"Well, you can take a break too." Hua Mulan responded to Zhang Liang's gaze, nodded slightly, and then found a clean place and sat down on the spot.

Zhang Liang floated in the air, and was about to take a breath to rest his physical state, but at this time, his downward gaze inadvertently noticed a glimmer of light, a faint fluorescence that leaked from the gap in the closed ancient book of words and spirits in his hand.

"Huh......" Zhang Liang hesitated lightly, and without thinking, he opened the ancient book of Yanling along the glimmer of light.

I saw that on the page of the ancient book that was opened, there was a sentence that was neither long nor short and flashed with a strange fire-colored light.

"Sure enough......" Zhang Liang's brows gradually furrowed, and the words and words that flashed with light were showing him that the prophecy in it was liberated.

The origin of the ancient book of Yanling has always been a mystery, although it has been passed down from generation to generation in Liu Bang's family for thousands of years, but no one in this world has been able to understand the strange words on it.

Zhang Liang is the first person in thousands of years. But even then, he couldn't read everything in the book.

The content after the 200 pages of the ancient book of Yanling became more and more hard and difficult, which once hindered Zhang Liang's future translation and reading. Even if he is as wise as Zhang Liang, it is difficult to make an inch of progress after exhausting his wisdom, so Jiang Shang asked him to go down the mountain, let him go through the world, or "enlighten the world", and in the process of comprehending the world, he gradually opened the dusty shackles of thought in the ancient books of Yanling.

This is a very long process, and Zhang Liang must be allowed to understand it step by step.

But in addition, there are quite a few prophecies in the ancient book of Yanling, although the meaning of the words is not deep and difficult, but it has always blocked Zhang Liang's soul consciousness to interpret, as if it was deliberately embarrassing Zhang Liang.

Those prophecies are actually waiting for an opportunity, although it is not difficult, but only under certain specific opportunities and fate, will the knot be untied and let Zhang Liang translate it.

For example, seven years ago in Julu Canyon, Zhang Liang solved the prophecy of "Prince and Rose" because of a chance encounter with Jing Kegao.

Another example is the string of words that are lying on the title page and quietly emitting light.

"Being awakened at such a time, I'm afraid it's not a simple prophecy......" Zhang Liang sighed silently, no longer hesitated, and pointed out the middle finger of his right hand directly to the shining character.

In any case, there is a prophecy that is being revealed, Zhang Liang must understand it clearly, maybe this is another piece of information that implicates the overall situation.

So Zhang Liang closed his eyes without thinking, and the soul consciousness of his whole body poured into the ancient book with the touch of his fingertips.

Through the revelation of the ancient books, Zhang Liang saw the appearance of prophecy.

In the ethereal darkness, a cluster of white light gradually spread, a tall figure, rising from the ground in the darkness and light, his hair was messy, his spine was high, he tilted his head up, and did not give in at all.

Without a concept, the light and darkness outside him flew up like dust, and countless lightsabers suddenly flew from the sky, head-on towards the tall figure.

The sword was in sight, but he didn't dodge, his figure didn't sway at all, he faced the flying swords in the sky, until they passed through the chest, and he didn't retreat.

The last sword was stuck in the center of his eyebrows, but his spine was still straight.

Then all the pictures and all the scenes were ethereal and scattered into the void, and the prophecy was only so far.

Zhang Liang slowly opened his eyes, and there was an indescribable depth and solemnity in his pupils.

His expression was a little still, and his middle finger was actually hanging over the words and words, and he hesitated.

But after only a few seconds of hesitation, he finally touched his middle finger and lightly swiped the line of words and words that radiated light.

After the fingertip swipe, the light on the words brightened, and a line of mysterious characters changed into words that people knew in the light, revealing the text.

Zhang Liang looked at the line of words, and his gaze gradually froze.

The words in that line are - "On the second day of the first month of the first month of the year 1128 of the Yunjing calendar, Qin Chu Wujiang, Xiang Yu, died." ”
