Chapter 233: Trick into opening the palace gate

"Nangong Yan see the general!"

"Nangong Yan, this trip will be nine deaths, and if you are not careful, you will never recover!"

"Nangong Yan swears to follow the general to the death! I am willing to share life and death with the general! ”

"Good! Lead your troops into the battle! ”

"No!"

Nangong Yan brought 8,000 soldiers of the Meng family, and after they were incorporated into the army, Meng Yi's strength suddenly reached more than 10,000.

Traveling all the way, when I arrived outside the south gate, I saw that the city wall of the south gate was densely covered with people wearing armor, with long fronts like forests and guidelines like mountains.

When Meng Yi led his troops into the city gate, the drums of war suddenly rumbled, and the sound of killing came to his face.

Sun Tzu Youyun: The army is strategic, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city.

In any war, siege is often the most forced choice, because the defender is condescending, has great convenience, rolling wood and stones, and boiling oil, the besieging side often needs to be ten times the strength of the defender's side, with great casualties in exchange for fighters, in order to hope to conquer the city.

Meng Yi has no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the South Gate guards have nearly 20,000 troops.

At this point, Zhao Kuang's troops had begun to stir up, they were coerced by Meng Yi for fear of being implicated by Zhao Kuang, but Meng Yi's previous statement to them was to capture Li Si, the prime minister behind the killing of Princess Tu'anguo, and it was definitely not an attack on Xianyang Palace!

With a hundred of their guts, they would never dare to attack the palace!

Meng Yi didn't plan to lead his troops to attack the city at all, because first, it was impossible to win with his troops, and second, once he put forward this idea, he was afraid that before the city was attacked, his army would be in chaos first.

"General Meng......" At this time, several generals stepped forward and asked in surprise, "General Meng, aren't we going to settle accounts with the prime minister?" How did you get to the palace?

The Prime Minister's Mansion was also near the South Gate, and they didn't think much about it when Meng Yi led the army all the way before, but now, they realized that something was wrong.

"Li Si, it's in the palace!" Meng Yi said lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the two figures in the middle above the city tower.

"This ......," a general boldly continued, "General Meng, if you want to attack the palace gate, we will forgive you!" ”

Meng Yi glanced at several generals who were ready to rise up at any time, and said coldly: "Bastard! Ben will just settle accounts with Li Si and attack the palace gate, what is he doing? How dare you have such a rebellious idea? ”

This general was scolded, but he was greatly relieved in his heart. The rest of the generals also quietly let go of their hands holding their swords.

"General Meng forgives the sin, but the last general is confused." The generals hurried to make amends.

Meng Yi took a deep look at the general who spoke before: "What's your name?" ”

The general hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The last general Zhang Zhao." ”

"Zhang Zhao," Meng Yi pointed to the two figures in the middle above the city gate, "See?" The Linggong of the CRRC Mansion is on it, although Li Si deserves to die, but after all, he is the prime minister! If you want to cure his crimes, you still need to convince the CRRC government to order the public, do you think so? ”

Zhang Zhao was more relaxed when he heard this, Zhao Gaoquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and was the only person who could fight against Li Si, if he had his support, coupled with the general Meng Yi, the chances of success in this matter had greatly increased.

"General Meng is thoughtful and far-sighted, and the last general swears that only General Meng is the first to look forward!" Zhang Zhao was loyal.

Meng Yi looked at him and suddenly shouted, "Nangong Yan! ”

"The last general!" Nangong Yan stepped forward.

"After the general entered the palace, you temporarily took the position of the general, and heard the war drums at the city gate." Meng Yi looked at him, and said with deep meaning: "If you don't obey, cut it!" ”

Nangong Yan's eyes flashed: "No! ”

After Meng Yi finished speaking, he didn't look at the expressions of these generals who changed color, he directly slapped the tiger's buttocks and walked towards the city gate alone.

Nangong Yan waved his hand, and suddenly several of his thousands of generals stepped forward and surrounded Zhang Zhao and other generals in the middle.

"Nangong Yan, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Zhao shouted angrily.

"Nothing!" Nangong Yan sneered, "This place is not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am afraid that someone will have bad intentions and run to report to the traitor." ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Zhaose was inward-looking, "We have sworn to follow General Meng, and our loyalty can be learned!" How dare you insult us like this! ”

Nangong Yan said solemnly: "If you are really above board, Nangong Yan will make amends to you afterwards!" ”

"You ......"

On the top of the city tower, Zhao Gao overlooked Meng Yi, who came alone on a tiger in front of the city gate, and was a little disappointed in his heart.

If only Meng Yi could lead his troops to attack, then he could be completely convicted of rebellion.

However, Zhao Gao never believed that Meng Yi dared to rebel, and this scene only confirmed that his idea was right.

This Meng Yi must have been unable to explain to His Majesty because of the death of Princess Tu'anguo, so he had an incident and wanted to shirk his responsibility.

Zhao Gao sneered, it's a pity, he has set many traps for Meng Yi today, and it is difficult to die if he wants to!

In the rumbling war drums, Meng Yi rode alone to the twenty zhang below the city gate, and Zhao Jinsong, the commander of the guard beside Zhao Gao, suddenly raised his hand, and the war drums suddenly stopped.

"Stop!" He drank.

Meng Yi immediately stopped and looked up at the top of the city tower.

Zhao Jinsong shouted and asked: "Meng Yi, you are good at killing Zhao Kuang, the guard of the East Gate, and leading your troops to gather in front of the palace gate, do you want to rebel!" ”

Meng Yi didn't answer this question, but shouted to Zhao Gao beside him: "Ling Gong, do you know about Zhao Kuang's killing of Princess Tu'anguo?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar above the city gate, and even Zhao Jinsong was shocked, and looked at Zhao Gao suspiciously.

Zhao Gao told him that Meng Yi killed the guards and broke into Xianyang, intending to rebel, but he didn't tell him that Zhao Kuang killed Princess Tu'anguo!

Who in the entire Xianyang City doesn't know that the First Emperor wants to accept this girl as a concubine, if what Meng Yi said is true, Zhao Kuang is the real traitor!

Zhao Gao was furious: "Meng Yi, you are spewing blood!" What evidence do you have that Zhao Kuang killed His Majesty's new concubine? ”

Meng Yi pointed to the rear and said loudly: "Zhao Kuang's five thousand soldiers, I saw with my own eyes, Zhao Kuang was mad and killed Princess Tu'an Guoyushu with his own hands!" ”

"It can't be!" Zhao Gao didn't believe that Zhao Kuang would be so stupid at all.

Meng Yi glared suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Outside the east gate, there are 1,000 county soldiers led by the Liyi County Guard, and there are more than 600 people, and they all saw with their own eyes that Zhao Kuang killed Princess Yushu with his own hands!" Ling Gong doesn't believe it, and he will know the truth when he asks! ”

"Impossible! No way! Zhao Gao was furious, "Meng Yi, you dare to say nothing!" ”

Meng Yi shouted: "Ling Gong! Ben will come alone, willing to be captured, waiting for His Majesty to see what is going on! It's Ling Gong, what is the truth, Ling Gong will know as soon as he asks! Zhao Kuang committed the capital crime of punishing the nine clans, but Ling Gong repeatedly argued against this traitor, what is his intention! ”

"Bold!" Zhao Gao's face turned red, and his voice changed.

Zhao Jinsong suddenly clenched his fists and said to Zhao Gao: "Ling Gong, since Meng Yi is willing to be arrested with his hands tied up, waiting for the facts to be clarified, why not take him down first, and then make a decision?" ”

Zhao Gao's face was cloudy, and he was also a little uncertain about the "truth" that Meng Yi said, in his opinion, Zhao Kuang would not be stupid enough to do this, but Meng Yi dared to say such a conclusive thing in front of everyone's eyes, and it didn't look like a lie.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Good! I want to see how this Meng Yi is talking nonsense, how it will end later! ”

After a pause, Zhao Gao Senran said: "Go out of the palace gate later, and kill the big worm first!" Take the flail of the three juns and lock up that Meng Yi! ”

"No!"

A moment later, only the rumbling of the winch was heard, and the palace door slowly opened.
