Chapter 55: Zhao Gao was jealous

Liu Ji's surrender to Great Qin not only touched Zhao Shi, but also made the Jiangdong Xiang clan panic.

Ever since he learned that Liu Ji had surrendered to Great Qin, Xiang Bo couldn't sleep for several days. Originally, Jiangdong was not Fusu's opponent, this time it was defeated by Wang Li and Meng Tian's 200,000 troops, if Fusu had more than Liu Ji's tens of thousands of horses, then Jiangdong would have no peace.

Through this period of frequent battles with Meng Tian's army, Xiang Bo was already tired and tired, and he no longer had the pride he had when he started the army, and the news of Liu Ji's return to Daqin made Xiang Bo feel exhausted.

Besides, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, since returning to the Jiangdong territory, went straight to Changsha County, and fought a fierce battle with Wang Li and Yingbu's 100,000 troops between Peng Lize (Poyang Lake) and Yunmengze (the predecessor of Dongting Lake) between Chushan and Xiangshui, and did not let the Qin army bargain too much for a while.

Because there were many soldiers from Changsha County in the Jiangdong Army led by Xiang Yu, the Jiangdong Army had a few advantages in local combat, so the combat power of the Jiangdong Army increased a lot, and the Qin army was forced to stop the offensive.

In the face of the Jiangdong Army, whose combat strength had been greatly improved, the 100,000 troops of Wang Li and Yingbu could not break through the defense line of the Jiangdong Army for a while, so they could only suspend the offensive, and the battle in Changsha County fell into a stalemate for a while.

When the Jiangdong Xiang clan was tired of dealing with the Qin army, Hu Hai, who was far away in Donghai County, also learned the news of Liu Ji's surrender to Fusu.

Huhai Imperial Palace, Donghae-gun.

Hu Haizheng was discussing with Zhao Gao with a sad face about Liu Ji's surrender to the Soviet Union:

"Prime Minister Zhao, why don't we descend too?" Hu Hai said to Zhao Gao gloomily.

"Your Majesty, we are different from that Liu Ji, you are the emperor of our Great Qin, and that Fusu is your courtier, how can there be an emperor in this world who asks his courtiers to surrender?"

"Prime Minister Zhao, but I'm really afraid of my big brother. Look at this world, who else is my eldest brother's opponent, now Liu Ji has demoted my eldest brother, Yingchuan, Dang, Chen, and Surabaya counties have all belonged to my eldest brother, this Surabaya County is on the edge of our Donghai County, how can I not be afraid? Why don't we go down? ”

Hearing that Hu Hai showed his intention to surrender to Fusu, Zhao Gao's face became gloomy, and he had already begun to hold a grudge against Hu Hai in his heart.

The reason why Zhao Gao was unwilling for Hu Hai to surrender to Fusu was actually that he was afraid that Fusu would execute himself after surrendering. After all, Hu Hai is Fusu's brother, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, but what about himself? Since Fusu released "Discussing Zhao Gao Hu Hai Wen", Zhao Gao understood that there was no room for maneuver between himself and Fusu.

Now that Zhao Gao saw that Hu Hai had plans to surrender to Fusu, he was already wary of Hu Hai.

Eunuchs like Zhao Gao have never been truly loyal to anyone easily, and their allegiance is determined based on the rights and security given to them by their masters.

When Zhao Gao heard Hu Hai's suggestion to surrender to Fusu, he felt that his safety was threatened for a while, so his loyalty to Hu Hai also fell to the bottom, and Zhao Gao even had a trace of evil intentions in his heart to get rid of Hu Hai.

After a period of time, Zhao Gao would hear Hu Hai confide in him every few days about the intention of surrendering to Fusu, and Zhao Gao's dissatisfaction with Hu Hai's intention to surrender to Fusu gradually deteriorated, and began to change towards killing intent.

Just when Zhao Gao had the evil intention of getting rid of Hu Hai, a major event happened in Sihui City, South Vietnam.

Under the bewitchment of a group of officials, Zhao Shi finally decided to send someone to contact Fusu.

On this day, Jia Heng found Han Chuan and handed over a letter from Zhao Shi to Han Chuan.

When Jia Heng left Han Chuan, he was targeted by a team of South Vietnamese soldiers pretending to be ordinary people. When Jia Heng traveled to a remote place, he was knocked unconscious by these people, and then abducted by these people into a secret room.

Half an hour later, Jia Heng woke up leisurely and found himself in a room used to extract confessions by torture.

"Who are you, and why are you tying your down here?"

After seeing his situation clearly, Jia Heng asked timidly.

"You don't have to know who we are, it's enough to know that we are South Vietnamese."

A strong man at the head looked at Jia Heng and said strongly.

Until this moment, Jia Heng's mentality gradually calmed down and began to think about the things in front of him:

"I was sent by the Son of the World to contact Han Chuan, and it stands to reason that these people should not have been sent by the Prince. If these people were not sent by the Son, then who would have sent them? Who else will it be besides the son? ”

After a moment, Jia Heng thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.

"Were you sent by the king?"

Jia Heng looked at the person who kidnapped him in front of him and asked.

"Shut up, I'll kill you if I ask more." The strong man at the head said viciously.

At the moment when the strong man spoke, Jia Heng keenly caught the strong man's body trembling slightly.

In light of this, Jia Heng has already determined that his guess is correct.

Jia Heng's brain was running quickly: "The Qin State is powerful, Nanyue is definitely not an opponent, if the Qin State wins, he will have the opportunity to become the person who leads the four counties of Nanyue, according to Fusu's style of acting, it is only a matter of time before the Qin State destroys Nanyue, and it will not be long before he will have a prominent position in this South Vietnam." How can the situation be stronger than others, and now that he is in the hands of Zhao Tuo's secret agent, he is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious. It seems that there is no way to delay. ”

After some planning, Jia Heng decided to pretend to be stupid.

"This strong man, I don't know what you're talking about."

"We have found evidence of your fornication with the Qin State, do you still want to deny it?"

The strong man at the head said angrily.

"Now that you have found the evidence, then hand it over to the king, why do you want to press me?"

Seeing Jia Heng put on a fearless look, the strong man led by him instantly became angry.

"It seems that you won't be recruited if you don't get a big punishment?"

The strong man said and waved his hand to the two attendants behind him.

I saw two entourages walking quickly to Jia Heng's side, setting up Jia Heng and walking towards the torture instrument.

A moment later, Jia Heng's screams came from the torture device.
