readx;?? In a few days, Zhang Jiashi did not order his army to storm Xianyang, but cleaned up the surrounding cities to avoid being flanked by the Qin troops in Guanzhong from other directions during the fierce battle with the Qin army defending the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under this premise, Zhang Jiashi commanded nearly 100,000 troops, mainly to make a large number of siege equipment, while being able to play a corresponding role when necessary.

......

During this period of time, Zhang Jiashi held many meetings to discuss where to use as the main force to break through the defense of Xianyang City.

Unlike the various siege battles of various sizes and sizes that Zhang Jiashi had experienced before, the situation in Xianyang City could be said to be heavy on men in the north.

This word indicates that the Xianyang Palace, which is located in the north of Xianyang City, has the strongest defense force, and the defense of Xianyang City is more of a kind of guard army responsible for the task of city defense.

Through several correspondence exchanges with Huan Feng, Zhang Jiashi and Chen Ping were very clear about one situation, that is, it was not a good way to directly attack the scope of Xianyang Palace.

And Zhang Jiashi did not plan to change Li Cang and Xiahou Ying, who were in charge of guarding the north and cutting off the communication of Xianyang Palace from the north.

The field combat ability of the two troops is indeed quite strong, but the idea of expecting the other party to be able to fight in the city and play a certain role was quickly forgotten by Zhang Jiashi.

It's not that Zhang Jiashi can't believe in the abilities of Li Cang and Xiahou Ying, but it's a very stupid thing to use cavalry and chariot troops to attack the city. Not to mention that Xianyang was the strongest and largest city in the Great Qin Empire, and attacking Xianyang with such a force was undoubtedly a self-defeating approach.

However, it is not a good way to attack Xianyang City like this, after all, Xianyang City is too difficult to attack.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know how he should decide, but wasting time here at the moment was not a good idea.

Although Xiang Yu will not be able to attack Hangu Pass for a while and a half, Zhang Jiashi cannot ignore the movements of Liu Bang in the south and the Qin army in Longxi County in the west.

A day earlier, he led the army to clean up the Lantian camp, one of the core areas of the Guanzhong region, and he didn't get anything in this place, so he could only lead the army back to Zhang Jiashi's camp in the Xiting area.

After returning from the interval, Zhang Jiashi, who held a meeting again, but did not have a good way, could only grit his teeth and make a choice:

"The army continued to rest for two days and make all kinds of equipment, and we launched a fierce assault on Xianyang three days later!!"

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Jiashi didn't think of looking for Neiying in Xianyang City. However, after Zhou Wen led his army to break through Wuguan and then attacked Xiting, Zhao Gao carried out a bloody baptism of some intelligence organizations in Xianyang City. Among them are the two intelligence points that Zhang Jiashi asked Chen Ping to arrange in Xianyang.

Not only that, but the entire Liaodong County intelligence point in Guanzhong suffered a devastating blow.

I have to say that after the implementation of the Qin Law, it is more impossible for many intelligence organizations to want to take root in the Xianyang area.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know how to solve this problem, after all, storming Xianyang was a very difficult thing in many senses.

Although Zhang Jiashi does have some preparations, it does not mean that these preparations can come in handy.

However, apart from the strong attack, Zhang Jiashi and Chen Ping couldn't think of a better way.

......

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Zheng family in Xianyang City, Zheng Xiao silently looked at the swimming fish in the pond, and his mood was very complicated.

This morning, Zhao Gao once again asked these officials to enter the Xianyang Palace to discuss matters, but Zheng Xiao found that more than half of the officials did not come.

Zheng Xiao and many people were stunned for a while, because such a thing did not appear yesterday.

Zhang Jiashi's army has strategically besieged Xianyang, but with the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command trying to capture Xianyang, it is still unknown who will kill the deer.

It is unlikely that these people did not see such a situation and took such a self-defeating approach.

But what surprised him and some officials of the previous dynasty even more was that after Zhao Gao learned about this, he smiled coldly and asked his son-in-law and guard captain Yan Le to arrest these officials.

Some officials, who were Zhao Gao's henchmen and lackeys, planned to dissuade Zhao Gao, but in the end, they still had no way to dissuade themselves.

Zheng Xiao didn't know if Zhao Gao was confident or had other plans, he silently stood in his own position and continued to say nothing.

It wasn't until after the end of the court meeting that Zheng Xiao was on his way back to his home when he heard screams coming from the homes of some officials.

"Don't worry too much, let's go home. Zheng Xiao said this to his driver very calmly.

For Zheng Xiao, he was reluctant to care too much about such a thing, so as to avoid Zhao Gao's trouble with him.

Of course, this does not mean that Zheng Xiao, who has a grudge against Zhao Gao and Hu Hai for killing his wife, has succumbed to the obscenity of the two.

......

After the Great Qin Empire ascended the throne with Yinghuhai, the situation gradually deteriorated. Zheng Xiao used the deep financial resources of his Zheng family to secretly organize a dead army in Xianyang City.

Zheng Xiao, who did not directly send his own subordinates to manage this force, adopted a method of indirect funding to develop this force.

After Zhao Gao made his son-in-law Yan Le serve as a guard captain, many people were arrested, and the Zheng family was not without Zhao Gao's suspicion. But in the absence of definite evidence, and on the bright side, the Zheng family has taken refuge in Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao did not strictly investigate this matter for a while and a half.

Maybe Zheng Xiao did have a problem, but Zhao Gao didn't find an excuse to deal with the Zheng family for a while and a half.

You must know that the power of the Zheng family, especially the commercial influence in the Guanzhong region, Zhao Gao had to cast a mouse. In addition, Zheng Xiao's father, Zheng Qiong, the current head of the Zheng family, has become one of the heads of the family who supports Zhao Gao, and on the premise of avoiding the deterioration or even rupture of the relationship between the two parties, Zhao Gao is more likely to hide his suspicions in his heart.

Although Zhao Gao was already the prime minister of the Great Qin Empire, and firmly controlled the puppet of Qin II Hu Hai, once Zhao Gao lost the support of some of the big families he encircled, he would only lose with his opponents.

Zhao Gao may have discovered one thing, he is not the first emperor Yingzheng, and he does not have that kind of self-respecting momentum.

Therefore, after Zhang Jiashi gathered Kong Gang's troops, Zhao Gao seemed to be a different person, and cleared out many of the people he was worried about one by one.

Among them, perhaps including officials who do not go to court today.

But for Zheng Xiao, he doesn't care too much about such a situation. After he returned to his home, there was nothing uneasy about him.

As the strongest master of the Shang Jun Camp, why Gai Nie became a person in the Shang Jun Camp, few people know. But for him, how dangerous it was for him to be ordered to infiltrate Xianyang this time, he himself knew very well.

But he didn't think he was doing it against his original intentions.

Gai Nie, Lu Goujian, and Jing Ke were the most famous swordsmen at the end of the Warring States Period.

Of course, in terms of strength, Gai Nie deserves to be the strongest. And the gap between the three doesn't mean they can't be good friends.

Before Jing Ke "assassinated" the then King Yingzheng of Qin, Gai Nie infiltrated Xianyang and found his good friend.

He knew very well that Jing Ke himself didn't want to do this, but there were some things that Jing Ke also insisted on.

And he is no exception, that is, he wants to witness whether the Qin State and Yingzheng can bring happiness to the people of the world for the dead.

Gao gradually died, Lu Goujian also died, and the people who had gathered together to drink many times were the only ones left, alone. But he did take the place of the dead and saw how important it really was to have a peaceful environment.

In many parts of the Great Qin Empire, no one was worried about a sudden war again, and no one was worried that they would be killed suddenly.

Perhaps, in some places the situation is diametrically opposite, but in Gai Nie's heart, he did see the world, which many people wanted.

Therefore, he expressed his feelings to Jing Ke, who had been sleeping underground.

There, he saw Ying Zheng, and he still remembered the conversation between the two at that time:

"Are you Yingzheng?"

"Bold!Who allowed you to call Your Majesty by name!" Ying Zheng's guard shouted at Gai Nie.

"Stand down. Ying Zheng said this very calmly.

"Whoa!" the guards clenched their fists and retreated away from the hill

"You're not afraid I'll kill you?"

"If a warrior thinks I deserve to die, do whatever it takes. Ying Zheng was very calm and took a food box from the eunuch named Xi next to him.

Gai Nie looked at Xi and knew that the other party alone could not stop him from killing Ying Zheng, but he didn't make a move, but watched quietly.

Ying Zheng personally sprinkled and swept the location where Jing Ke was buried, and Gai Nie watched silently from the side.

When it was all over, Gagne said, "You should come here once a year." ”

"Because, he's also a warrior. A warrior that I find a little ridiculous, but equally worthy of my respect. Ying Zheng said this softly and looked at Gai Nie: "You are Gai Nie." ”

Gai Nie didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

"I ask you, do you think I've done all this, right?" asked Ying Zheng very calmly.

Gai Nie did not answer Yingzheng directly, but said: "Qingqing's contribution is not in vain. ”

Qingqing was referring to Jing Ke, and Ying Zheng showed a smile after hearing this: "Warrior, I have something to ask for." ”

Listening to Ying Zheng's words, Gai Nie was very puzzled, but after hearing what Ying Zheng said next, he nodded lightly:

"I am not commanding the warriors, but I hope that the warriors will be able to witness something with their own eyes. If the Great Qin Empire is indeed supposed to be severed, and the warriors do nothing, or even add fuel to the fire, I will not have the slightest complaint. ”

Gagne nodded, because he didn't think such a thing would go against his style.

This is also the reason why he became a member of the Shang Jun Camp.

......

Zheng Xiao saw Gai Nie slowly walking out of his study, and was slightly stunned. He doesn't know Gain, but that doesn't mean Gainie doesn't know him.

After receiving this order and being willing to take action himself, Gai Nie had already made preparations.

"Who are you?" Zheng Xiao didn't alarm the others, he was able to generate a feeling from Gai Nie's body that the other party was able to get rid of him before he could alarm the others.

"My name is Gai Nie, and I'm just a wandering swordsman. ”

Listening to Gai Nie's self-introduction, Zheng Xiao's emaciated face couldn't help but drip with beads of sweat.

Who Gai Nie is, Zheng Xiao naturally knows better, the other party is said to be the first swordsman of Great Qin in the rumors, and Zheng Xiao does not think that there is the slightest exaggeration.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard Gai Nie say something: "You may want to contact Zhang Jiashi, don't you?"

Hearing Gai Nie's words, Zheng Xiao was slightly stunned, but after he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked Gai Nie: "Mr. Gai, can you help me?"

"No, I don't think I can do that for you. Gai Nie shook his head: "You should know very well that I may be able to help you inform Zhang Jiashi of some news, which is true, but I don't have the ability to go out of Xianyang City without knowing it." I don't care if my whereabouts are discovered, but don't try to make your own plans. Isn't it?"

Hearing Gai Nie's words, Zheng Xiao couldn't help but nod slightly.

Because what Gai Nie said is very reasonable, in such a situation, it is not difficult for Gai Nie to leave the Xianyang City Wall with his own skills, but the difficulty is that Gai Nie cannot leave Xianyang unnoticed.

Once Gai Nie is discovered, no matter how good Zheng Xiao is, he may die or even have some results that he doesn't want to see.

Zheng Xiao looked at Gai Nie and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "So, what are you coming to this place?"

"From what I have observed, if you act suddenly at dawn, you may succeed. ”

The words that Gai Nie said made Zheng Xiao fall into deep thought.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with what Gai Nie said. But he didn't know if his dead soldiers could do that.

"I'll do it then. If you're willing to do so, of course. Gai Nie said this sentence that made Zheng Xiao a little surprised, because Zheng Xiao didn't expect that Gai Nie would actually make a move for such a thing.

"Why is Mr. Gai willing to do this?" Zheng Xiao looked at Gai Nie with a little uncertainty on his face.

Gai Nie smiled a nostalgic smile: "Because this is my promise to some people. ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

At dawn on April 10, 207 B.C., the garrison of the city east of Xianyang City was undergoing a change of guard.

Suddenly, a dense burst of crossbows shot at the Qin officers and soldiers in the street.

The screams broke the largely peaceful atmosphere of Xianyang.

"Kill!"

On both sides of the streets leading to the city gates, masked swordsmen and assassins leaped out of their houses and walls.

Soon, these people engaged in a melee with the Qin officers and soldiers on the street.

The screams continued one after another, and from time to time someone fell under the attack of the other party.

The guards at the head of the city quickly noticed the situation, and they quickly reacted and prepared to support their comrades on the city walls.

But they didn't expect that some of the robes around them would actually be enemies.

Taking advantage of the fact that some Qin officers and soldiers who were originally companions were unguarded by the situation around them, many Qin officers and soldiers pulled up the sleeves of their military uniforms after glancing at each other, revealing a piece of white linen tied to their arms.

They then inserted their weapons into the Qin officers and soldiers in front of them, or directly kicked the other party off the city wall.

From time to time, people on the city wall more than ten meters high, while fluttering in the air, kept howling and fell on the hard stone slabs on the ground. Many people were not able to stand up again, but after a few convulsions, there was no sound again.

Soon, the east of Xianyang City fell into a fierce scuffle.

......

Zheng Xiao looked at his father silently, and he said a word: "I did it." ”

"I know, you stupid, if it weren't for your father to help you cover up, would you still be alive until now?" Looking at his son, Zheng Qiong, the current head of the Zheng family, sighed softly: "You shouldn't bear all this alone." ”

"Huh?" After Zheng Xiao heard his father's words, he couldn't help but look at his father carefully.

What he could see on his father's face was a hint of exhaustion.

Zheng Xiao suddenly realized that he might be wrong to blame his father.

"The things of the past, the father can't help but do it, because once the father doesn't even do this thing, then our Zheng family will not have the time to fight against Zhao Gao at all. ”

Zheng Qiong slowly walked up to his son and muttered, "Being a father may be selfish, maybe he doesn't take into account your feelings, but being a father is also the head of the Zheng family." ”

After saying this, Zheng Qiong gently patted Zheng Xiao's shoulder: "After this matter is over, you will be the head of the Zheng family, your father is already old, and besides, there are some things that my father is not willing to interfere too much." However, there is still a thing I want to say to you as a father, there are some things that cannot be measured entirely by friendship and merit. The Zheng family is still too big for an emerging force. ”

Zheng Qiong said this, and returned to his room under the "escort" of more than a dozen swordsmen sent by Zheng Xiao.

And Zheng Xiao, after thinking about it, understood his father's advice to him.

That is, no matter what the original situation was, the Zheng family must determine their position, especially for Zhang Jiashi, no matter how close their relationship was once or not, a huge Zheng family is no longer about to replace the Great Qin Empire's power surnamed Zhao, and then set foot on the stage of history can rest assured.

And Zheng Xiao didn't say much, but nodded slightly to his father, turned around and left the courtyard......
