Zhou Wen since the Hangu Pass, all the way to the west, in Hudi troops, to Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng rewarded, the three armies, half a month later, began to cross the river, continue to advance to the west, along the way to collect soldiers, recruit troops and horses, the prestige of the day is shaking.

However, in the land of Guanzhong, the mountains were blocked, the march was difficult, and it caught up with the rain for several days, Zhou Wen's soldiers and horses arrived in Ningqin, and they could no longer continue to advance, and the supply and transportation of materials at this time was the biggest problem, and if Zhou Wen continued to advance westward, there would be a danger of cutting off supplies.

At this time, on the hill, Zhou Wen was wearing a cloak, staring into the distance, looking at the wide flow of people, his army was advancing one after another, this place was only a few hundred miles away from Xianyang, only a few hundred miles away, seeing that his dream of overthrowing the tyrannical Qin was about to come true, in the difficulty, Zhou Wen wanted to fight to the death, but the soldiers were exhausted at this time, and he had to rest here for a few days.

Just when Zhou Wen was thinking crankily in his heart, Deng Chen, the chief bookkeeper, came over, he also watched the flow of people in the distance for a long time, at this time, he sighed lightly, looked at Zhou Wen, and sighed: "General, it is too dangerous for us to advance into the pass with such a frizzy and frizzy army, I suggest that it is better to delay the army." ”

Zhou Wen was thinking about how to enter Xianyang, when he was interrupted by Deng Chen, he was slightly displeased, turned around and scolded: "The soldiers are noble and fast, besides, our army has been going all the way, and the Qin army can't intercept it at all, but if we think that the Qin soldiers are useless, what are we afraid of?" ”

After a pause, Zhou Wen said again: "Besides, Xianyang is close at hand, I only need to wave the army, and in half a month, I will be able to step into the Qin capital and smash the Qin regime, at such a time, how can you disturb the hearts of our army?" ”

Deng Chen saw that Zhou Wen was obsessed, he was also a little angry, pointed to Zhang Chujun who was advancing in front of him, and shouted: "But general, look at it, these are our most elite troops, the Qin State is not so weak, they still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Xianyang, once we underestimate the enemy, the loss will be these soldiers, general, you must think about this matter!" ”

"Say no more! Step down for me! Zhou Wen was furious, he looked at Deng Chen angrily, pointed to the distance, and said angrily: "Stand down!" ”

Deng Chen saw that Zhou Wen still refused to listen to him, so he had to sigh and turn to leave, at this time, Zhou Wen looked at the marching Sima on the side unhappily, and ordered: "Order, rest for three days, and continue to go west!" ”

Sima Songnuo left, and at this time, Zhou Wen looked at a personal entourage and ordered: "You take my token and immediately go to Chen County to ask for reinforcements, don't delay at all!" ”

Singing the promise in person, Zhou Wen sighed and stared into the distance again, he had paid too much in this battle, so let him postpone his entry into the army, he really couldn't do it.

。。。。。。

Panic shrouded the entire Xianyang City, within ten days, Xianyang lost as many as 30,000 people, and the army deserted more than 7,000 people, which made Xianyang City immersed in wind and rain several times, and the panic gradually spread to the neighboring county seats.

The news of Zhou Wen's entry into the customs spread to every corner of Xianyang as if he had grown wings, and even Xianyang Palace was spreading the news at this time, and Zhao Gao at this time was unable to suppress the expansion of the situation.

Xianyang City was suddenly closed half an hour ago, and the continuous loss of population will affect the lifeblood of the entire Xianyang, for today's plan, the only way to do this is to block the city gate and not allow anyone to leave Xianyang, which is the only thing Zhao Gao can do.

At this time, Zhao Gao stood at the head of Xianyang City, he looked at the noisy and anxious people under the city tower, and sighed in his heart, he misjudged the situation, how can he save the defeat now?

If Zhou Wenzhen's troops came to the city, would Chang'an's 400,000 troops be able to hold on? Even if you hold on, how long? Once the rebels from all over the country gather in Xianyang, that day will really be the day of the fall of the Qin State.

Zhao Gao sighed with emotion, not far away, Zhao Cheng had already walked quickly, looking like a catastrophe was coming, with a crying voice, and said urgently: "Brother, there is news, the rebels have arrived in Wucheng, if we don't send troops to fight, in the next few days, we will be able to come to the city!" ”

Zhao Gao was shocked, the sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and there was a sound, on the city tower, all the soldiers looked at Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao hurriedly picked up the sword, took Zhao Cheng, and left in a hurry.

In Zhao's mansion, Zhao Gao had just sat down, a government soldier brought tea, Zhao Gao had no intention of tasting tea, he pushed the teacup aside, then looked at Zhao Cheng, and said hurriedly: "Is the news reliable?" ”

"It's true! And, I heard, there were more than 400,000 rebels. Zhao Cheng looked outside the door and whispered, at this time, Zhao Gao was a little desperate, he was already in chaos, I really don't know, how to repel this 400,000 bandit army?

Anxious and uneasy, Zhao Gao got up and paced in the house, at this time, a government soldier walked in quickly, and said beside Zhao Gao: "My lord, the word is spread in the palace, let you enter the palace immediately!" ”

What should come will always come, Zhao Gao sighed and walked quickly outside the house!

。。。。。。

Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai was furious, at this time he had broken several utensils, but still could not eliminate the anger in his heart, the rebels had entered the customs, and had captured Wucheng, and Xianyang was far away, which made Hu Hai no matter what, he couldn't accept it.

"Why didn't you tell me for so long?" Hu Hai turned around and shouted, and the attendants were so frightened that they knelt down, trembling all over, and at this time, an old eunuch said softly: "Your Majesty, the imperial history of Zhongcheng once told you, but ......"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Hai had picked up the inkstone and threw it over, with a "bang", blood splashed, and the old eunuch's head was beaten and bleeding, but Hu Hai did not lose his breath, he roared angrily: "Pull him down for me, and the rod will be killed!" ”

Several guards walked in, lifted the old eunuch, and dragged him out, although the old eunuch pleaded hard, but the ruthless guards had dragged him away alive, at this time, Zhao Gao had hunched his waist and walked quickly into the hall: "Minister Zhao Gao, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Gao! Hu Hai turned his head suddenly, his eyes glared at him angrily, and he said hatefully: "Didn't you promise me? It's just a small group of rebels that can be wiped out in an instant! At this point, how do you explain it to me? ”

Zhao Gao was so frightened that he knelt down and sighed: "Your Majesty, the ministers sent six armies to suppress the bandits, but they were all defeated in the hands of Zhou Wen, Your Majesty, the old minister didn't know that the situation would be so serious!" ”

Hu Hai saw Zhao Gao burst into tears, the anger in his heart was extinguished a little, and with a long sigh, Hu Hai ordered: "You get up!" ”

At this time, a chamberlain hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, all the officials have arrived, ask to see you in the front hall!" ”

Hu Hai saw that the hundred officials had arrived, so he had to order: "Zhao Gao, go to the front hall with me!" ”

。。。。。。

In the main hall, all the officials bowed their heads and were silent, only Feng Qujian knelt in the center of the hall, his voice was hearty, and he said: "Your Majesty, although Xianyang has an army of 400,000, but if you want to have a long-term confrontation, the chances of victory are slim, if you want to gather troops and horses from all directions, it will take at least half a year, and the minister implores Your Majesty to move the capital immediately and transfer to the north, it is safer!" ”

Feng Quji's words were like a knife, deeply inserted into Hu Hai's heart, was the Great Qin Empire, which the Ying family had worked so hard to build for generations, about to be destroyed in his own hands? Moreover, do you want to move the capital to take refuge?

Hu Hai couldn't believe it, but at this time, Shaofu Zhang Han walked out and said: "Your Majesty, once the capital is moved, the whole country will be in turmoil, the foundation of the Qin State will be shaken, and the country will be in danger!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Han pointed at Feng Quji, and said: "The right prime minister does not care about the danger of the country, just to prolong his life, and his crime should be punished!" ”

Feng Quji pointed at Zhang Han angrily and said hatefully: "You are talking nonsense! ”

But Zhang Han ignored Feng Quji, he continued: "If Your Majesty allows, the minister is willing to carry a three-foot bronze sword, sprinkle blood on the battlefield, expel the bandit army for Your Majesty, return Xianyang to peace, and stabilize the Great Qin River!" ”

Zhang Han's self-recommendation made Hu Hai see a glimmer of hope, he couldn't help leaning over, and asked urgently: "Zhang Aiqing has a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Zhang Han nodded, arched his hand and said: "There are prisoners in Lishan, nearly 200,000 conscriptions, if Your Majesty is willing, the minister implores Your Majesty to release them, open the treasury and distribute weapons, the minister only needs three days, transfer // teach these conscriptions, they can be used to fight, Your Majesty is allocating 200,000 soldiers and horses to the minister, and the minister should lead the army to the east and drive Zhou Wen out of Hangu Pass!" ”

The hall became silent again, Feng Qujian saw that Zhang Han was still willing to work hard, but he only blindly advised to move the capital, and he was so shy that he had to bow his head and remain silent, but Hu Hai was already in thought at this time.

Many people are talking endlessly in the main hall, the enemy and us are evenly matched, the bandit army also has 400,000 troops, they are huge, Zhang Han with the prisoners of Lishan, can they win this battle?

With doubts, many people accuse Zhang Han of being too hasty and reckless, but there are also people who support Zhang Han, once the capital is moved, the foundation of the Qin State will be shaken, and there will be chaos, and the defenders everywhere will not hold on to it, and the Qin State will only fall faster.

In the main hall, when everyone was talking endlessly, Zhao Gao walked out, he had already thought in his heart, Zhang Han was the person he single-handedly promoted, no matter what the victory or defeat, Zhang Han would be on his side, this may be a good opportunity to further envelop Zhang Han.

At this time, Zhao Gao had come to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the enemy is pressing, you can't hesitate, you must make a decision, I support Zhang Shaofu's opinion, send troops to fight, if you win, you can drive Zhou Wen out of Hanguguan, if defeated, we retreat to Xianyang, Xianyang is firmly defended by the city, and there are nearly 200,000 Qin troops, and the bandits can't get in for a while." ”

Zhao Gao's words were like a reassuring pill, Hu Hai finally made up his mind at this time, he looked at everyone, and ordered loudly: "Quasi-play!" ”

。。。。。。

In the early morning, the major military offices in Xianyang began to assemble troops, and the 200,000 elite soldiers selected by Zhang Han began to march outside Xianyang, and they would assemble at the foot of Lishan Mountain to prepare for the final battle.

The treasury also began to count the weapons, and prepared 200,000 usable weapons and uniforms for the Lishan conscription, and Zhang Han took them away, for a while, the whole Xianyang was busy, and the people saw that Xianyang began to use the army, ready to fight to the death, and many people gave up the decision to flee and began to return home.

The drums on the tower of Xianyang City are noisy, this is the drum sound practiced by Hu Hai for Zhang Han, at this time, Zhang Han under the escort of the generals, turned over the horse, several relatives handed the wine bowl, Zhang Han took the wine bowl, held his head high, on the city tower, Hu Hai also held the wine bowl, took a sip, and then slammed the wine bowl, under the city, the generals also drank the wine in the cup one after another, smashed the wine bowl, Zhang Han Lang ordered: "Go!" ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Han led 30,000 soldiers and horses to take over the Lishan construction site, gathered the people, informed the people, and used them as soldiers, meritorious servicemen, past sins were written off, and those who escaped were killed without forgiveness, and ordered his son Zhang Ping to be responsible for reorganizing the prisoners into the army.
