Chapter 6: Prelude to a New Era
readx;?? The clan surnamed Zhao, who was originally guarding in the military camp outside the city, had already been sent a neat new set of clothes last night. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][].. [ ] Copy URL access
Many clans don't want to throw in the towel like this, but in such a situation, it seems that more and more clans are recognizing the reality they have to face.
Especially when these officers and soldiers who sent clothes over said a word, these clans quickly knew what they should do:
"The king has decreed that if all goes well tomorrow, you will soon be able to return to your homes. The king assures you that he will not attack you for no reason. Of course, if some people break the law, they are not included in it!"
Many clans with the surname Zhao had a rather unsatisfactory time during the reign of Ying Huhai, and many people even had to change their always domineering personality to avoid being executed by the indiscriminate killing of Qin II Huhai.
Therefore, although there are still many people in the current Great Qin Empire clan who do not want this situation to happen, for them, they also have no ability to resist this kind of thing.
Putting aside whether the edict of the First Emperor is true or false, just because Meng Wu is also on Zhang Jiashi's side, it is enough to make them even more powerless to resist Zhang Jiashi.
Although they are clansmen, even Zong Zheng Yinglie, who has already accepted his fate, knows very well that they have lost the capital to compete with Zhang Jiashi.
The real power of the Great Qin Empire had already fallen into the hands of Zhang Jiashi after Zhang Jiashi captured Xianyang, and after Zhao Gao and Hu Hai "disappeared" one after another, they had already fallen into the hands of Zhang Jiashi.
Zhang Jiashi's defeat of Liu Bang and the big defeat of Xiang Yu were just the icing on the cake for Zhang Jiashi to consolidate the interests of him and those who followed him.
Perhaps, the army they stubbornly resisted at the beginning, maybe they would not have ended up like this, but more, they would not think that once Yongdu was broken by Gao Jian or the army under the support of Zhang Jiashi, they would have a good end.
Not to mention, it's already a done deal.
......
And as Zhang Jiashi's biggest waryman. On the contrary, Ying Ziying put on the clothes sent very calmly, and then said to these officers and soldiers: "The clothes fit well, so you will have to work." β
Ying Ziying's calmness did not make these officers and soldiers feel too much. After all, Li Zuoche had already had an order, that is, once a clan dared not cooperate, there was no need to be polite to them.
For Li Zuoche, whether these clans will go to participate in this enthronement ceremony or not. It's also not a big deal. Even if this enthronement ceremony is all under the command of Zhang Jiashi, as long as Zong Zheng Yinglie is willing to cooperate with them. Whether the other clans are dead or alive, what does it have to do with him?
Of course, Li Zuoche would not say what he thought, after all, after Zhang Jiashi ordered those clans who were under house arrest in Xianyang Palace to be sent to carriages, he knew Zhang Jiashi's intentions.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On the morning of June 28, 207 B.C., after Zhang Jiashi came out with Yingxun in his arms, he gradually walked up to the terrace of the heavens.
Many of the clansmen surnamed Zhao were wearing the clothes given to him by Zhang Jiashi, and they were half-kneeling under the steps about fifty meters away.
Before them, it was a descendant of Zhang Jiashi who had no combat mission. and a few old clans that are relatively close in blood.
These old clans are not stupid, and they can also know one thing, that is, some of the same clans they know seem to have encountered some results that they do not want to see.
However, for them, being able to save their own lives and those of their descendants is already a blessing in misfortune.
Some of them even arranged Zhang Jiashi's this time. It was a chance for them to finally get out of the sea of suffering.
Zhang Jiashi didn't know a situation, that is, most of the clans who were arranged by Xiahou Ying to die in an accident were half-brothers who were quite dissatisfied with Zhuangxiang Wang Yingzi Chu.
According to what they thought, King Yingzi Chu of Zhuangxiang was not in the right position, and his son Yingzheng was even more the son of LΓΌ Buwei of the smeared city.
In their hearts, such a supreme position. It should have been theirs.
There is a saying, and evil comes from the mouth. They asserted their own identities and slandered the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army who guarded them, and they were even more disrespectful to Zhang Jiashi's family.
Although Xiahou Ying was very angry at what they said, it also made him feel that he was very innocent, and he would still endure this situation.
But when these people become more and more presumptuous. Even the two queens who insulted Zhang Jiashi were quite ugly.
Only then did Xiahou Ying feel that he didn't need to endure it any longer, but after reporting to Chen Ping, he made that kind of decision.
Some old clans naturally know who is right and who is wrong in this situation, but they also have dissatisfaction with Zhang Jiashi in their hearts, but they hide it deeper in their hearts.
After all, Zhang Jiashi's strength, they can't shake it, if there is really any problem, Zhang Jiashi will also not show mercy to their subordinates.
As for whether the civilians in Guanzhong are still worried about their clans with the surname Zhao?
I am afraid that during the reign of Ying Huhai and Zhao Gao, the prestige accumulated by the Qin State to the people of Guanzhong had already turned into a candle in the wind.
And those younger clans, although they are even more unconvinced in their hearts, will not be as good at forbearance as those old clans.
But after seeing the actions of those soldiers against some of the uncooperative clans last night, they soon knew what kind of choice would allow them to survive.
Especially for a young clan who was only a teenager and was the great-grandson of King Yingzhu of Qin Xiaowen in terms of identity, he saw with his own eyes that more than half of the other clans who were arranged to be in a camp with him were directly captured by these soldiers because they refused to cooperate, and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to sleep for a night.
He believed that he was not the only one who encountered such a situation, because not only the young clan kneeling in this place, but even some middle-aged clan members kneeling in the front row, many people were obviously in low spirits.
......
Zhang Jiashi didn't care about this situation, holding his son who was playing with the bead curtain on his crown with his little hands, and felt that it seemed to be fun to do so, Zhang Jiashi, who walked up to the altar step by step, didn't expect a situation, that is, the dead soldier raised by Yingziying started to act at this time......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
This place in Yongxian County was in the midst of that war three years ago. It was almost burned to ruins by the raiding troops of Baimaqiang.
Even after Ying Zheng rebuilt Yongdu City almost according to the original pattern due to some considerations, Yongdu City did not recover its vitality before it was a battlefield.
After Ying Huhai ascended the throne, Ying Ziying was appointed as the commander of Yongxian County to assist Zongzheng Yinglie in managing Yongdu.
Such an arrangement has indeed greatly facilitated Yingziying's plan. Ying Ziying has been in this way for a few years. A dead soldier army of about 1,000 people was developed.
But Ying Ziying still couldn't make this army of dead soldiers too conspicuous, and could only let these dead soldiers scatter in Yongdu. Waiting for the opportunity to come tomorrow.
But Ying Ziying's arrangement did not hide Zhao Gao. And Zhao Gao did not attack Ying Ziying out of some considerations.
He knows very well that Ying Ziying's temperament is good at forbearance, but in terms of strength and ability to recognize people, Ying Ziying is too far away from Zhang Jiashi. Because Zhang Jiashi's ability may not be very good, Ying Ziying, on the other hand, his own ability may be better than Zhang Jiashi, but Zhao Gao will not think that Ying Ziying can rely on these rabble to be able to fight against Zhang Jiashi's army.
Although Zhao Gao is not good at military affairs. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what Zhang Jiashi's ability is.
Zhang Jiashi's ability does not lie in his own level, but in Zhang Jiashi's own ability to reuse a group of virtuous people.
But it is difficult for Ying Ziying to do this, and these dead soldiers alone can succeed, Zhang Jiashi's strength is so poor, not to mention the Donghu people, even those white horses and Qiang can kill each other.
......
Maybe Ying Ziying should listen to Zhao Gao's thoughts and thoughts even more, after the shouting and killing sound came from outside. Ying Ziying's body knelt on the ground and twitched slightly.
He knew that his arrangement was finally starting to kick in.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In Yongdu City, a large number of dead soldiers raised by Yingziying began to cause chaos.
The most direct way for them to do this is to send the weapons in their hands to these residents of Yongxian who have been relocated for a short time.
The screams of many Yongxian residents gradually reached the ears of the pro-military officers and soldiers defending the city.
Some of the officers and soldiers defending the city who did not know what was going on. Small units were sent to check on the situation.
However, what awaited them was a premeditated ambush by some dead soldiers.
Soon, the pro-army squads of these troops were wiped out by the other side after making the dead of these raids pay a considerable price.
The screams in many streets were getting louder and louder, but what even some of the dead people didn't know was that. There were some dead men who could not come out after entering some dwellings.
......
"Qiang" ......
A Liaodong Army swordsman with a thick-backed sword in his hand, after several rounds of handing over a dead soldier's weapon, directly cut off the opponent's head with a single sword.
And inside this mansion, many mysterious swordsmen, assassins and other professionals who have the same identity as him or are their "allies", the two sides work together to quickly eliminate the dead soldiers who broke into this mansion.
For them, these enemies are simply not worth pitying. Because before they entered this mansion, the weapons in their hands were already dripping blood to the ground.
This shows that they themselves have killed quite a few innocent people.
After watching some people drag the corpses of these dead soldiers into the shadows, a swordsman said to his friend in confusion: "Since Lord Xiangguo already knows about this situation, why do we still let these people kill so many Qianshou?"
His friend shook his head and whispered, "Lord Xiangguo already knows who these people are behind the scenes, but he doesn't care about the death of some people. He cares about how much benefit the enemy can bring to the king this time, so that he will give us such an order. β
"I still don't get it. β
"I don't know too much about the situation, but remember one thing, brother, our lives...... It's not the lord's, it's the king's. β
......
From the conversation between these two people, one thing can indeed be heard, that is, Chen Ping can deduce the course of action of these dead soldiers of Ying Ziying.
Not only him, but even Gonggong Xi was ready to deal with the other party's raid on the Great Zheng Palace.
......
On the underground steps of a certain secret passage, five were carrying crossbows on their backs. The Assassin, with a sword in his hand, gradually ascended the steps and appeared at the exit of a room in the Great Zheng Palace.
For them, their appearance in the Dazheng Palace will inevitably catch the enemy off guard.
However, before they could move some distance, the arrow mechanism placed in some dark place was pulled by a very inconspicuous gray thread. A dense stream of sharp arrows was fired.
Of the five dead soldiers, four were directly shot by dozens of arrows. Soon he fell to the ground, losing the breath of life.
There was only one lucky dead soldier left, because there were people in front and behind him who helped him block the arrows, and he was not directly shot by these arrows.
However, before he could retreat, more than a dozen Qin officers and soldiers who were ambushed nearby quickly surrounded him.
"What is it, did Xiangguo order us to catch it alive?"
A Qin soldier asked about this.
This chief thought for a while and shook his head: "Xiangguo wants us to catch a few big fish, but." This person...... Still stupid. β
"Whoa!"
More than a dozen Qin officers and soldiers with long knives in their hands or equipped with swords and shields quickly advanced in a small phalanx formation, and then surrounded this person in the middle.
The dead soldier knew that he had no way to retreat, and rushed directly in front of one of the battle formations......
As for the other dead at the exit of the secret passage, the situation was similar.
Around some of the palaces inside the Dazheng Palace, a one-sided slaughter broke out.
And under the room where Zhang Jiashi originally lived, there was also a secret passageway exit.
Naturally, Grandpa Xi will not be in this place. Make the same arrangements as the other secret passages, because if something really goes wrong in this regard, even if he himself dies, he will not forgive his negligence.
In such a place, Gonggong Xi arranged for the three strongest subordinates under his command to be responsible for guarding this place.
The passage below this secret passage. A relatively large passage was excavated, and it was clear that the other side had made this place one of the main targets.
But Gonggong Xi knew that even if he didn't send three people, he would just send his own subordinates, or the strongest swordsman in the Great Qin Empire, Gai Nie. I'm afraid this place is a fly, don't even think to fly over.
......
Gai Nie glanced at the other two companions, and after feeling something strange, Gai Nie nodded lightly: "They are here." β
Although there is a considerable gap in the strength of the two people compared to Gai Nie, they are not mediocre hands, after hearing Gai Nie's words, they quickly breathed and listened quietly.
Sure enough, in the passage of another section of the tunnel, the footsteps of about five or six people were heard.
......
What Lu Goujian didn't expect was that his worst guess actually came true. Because when they appeared behind the circular passage, they saw Gai Nie and two other swordsmen who were not weak, waiting for them.
"Brother Gai, don't come unharmed?"
Lu Goujian couldn't do it immediately, but said this greeting.
He used this greeting to remind his companions not to act rashly.
Lu Goujian's idea was very correct, and the five swordsmen around him did swallow a mouthful of saliva in unison.
Although they also think that their strength is good, they know Lu Goujian's identity, but they are not arrogant enough to be able to compare with Gai Nie.
There is only one person who can make Lu Goujian call the other party Brother Gai, and that is the number one swordsman in the world - Gai Nie,
"Why?"
Gai Nie's expression was very calm, and the words he asked Lu Goujian were also very simple.
But such a sentence, Lu Goujian is not easy to answer.
After thinking for a while, Lu Goujian said: "Accept people's money and share people's worries." β
Gai Nie shook his head, looked at his friend for a while, and then muttered, "Have you forgotten about Qingqing?"
"I ......" Lu Goujian couldn't help but be speechless when he heard Gai Nie's words.
It's not that he doesn't know the reason why Jing Ke assassinated King Qin, nor does he not know what Jing Ke thinks.
All he could do was shake his head and sigh......
After looking at Lu Goujian for a while, Gai Nie slowly stood up from a low table and said, "Go?"
When Lu Goujian heard this, he showed a wry smile: "Even if we leave, what can we do, will your lord let us go so easily?"
Gai Nie was silent, gently drew his long sword, and said to the other two, "Look at it. β
Although the two of them were ordered by Gai Nie like this, they were very excited. Because it was the first time they had seen Ganie draw his sword.
And after Gai Nie said this, he didn't stop moving.
"Be careful!!!
Lu Goujian hurriedly said this sentence while pulling out his sword.
However, Lu Goujian's reminder was still a little slow......
Gai Nie's sword is completely different from Zhao Gao's sword.
Bai Qi was able to control Zhang Jiashi's body to resist Zhao Gao's sword, but it did not mean that Bai Qi could easily face Gai Nie's sword.
Among the other two swordsmen, Gai Nie's movements were so slow that he could even see the trajectory of the opponent's swing of the sword.
But they knew that what they saw was nothing more than an "illusion."
Because, Gai Nie was able to swing out three cold rays in a single breath, directly cutting the necks of the three other swordsmen.
The other two swordsmen, after barely blocking the two swords that Gai Nie would come out, received Gai Nie's approval: "The strength is good, but that's it......"
After Gai Nie's words were spoken, the bodies of the two swordsmen were disconnected in two.
There was not a trace of blood on Gai Nie's blade, but he looked at Lu Goujian quietly and shook his head: "You are not as good as Qingqing at the beginning." β
"Why don't you kill me?" Lu Goujian muttered.
"There's one person who doesn't want him to save your life for nothing. Nie is just entrusted by others. β
After saying that, Gai Nie gently inserted his saber back into its scabbard, and turned to leave...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
