In the remnant of winter, the land of Guanzhong is full of snow, a team of Qin troops walked on the north bank of the Wei River with difficulty, the snow was very thick, and the horses could not move freely, this group of Qin troops could only lead the horses by themselves and walk back to Xianyang step by step.

As the first general, he held a long sword in his hand, bent his waist and hips, and led an extremely majestic Guanzhong horse, and dozens of soldiers behind him were burly, all eyeing each other, but they were different from the previous Qin army, they were the remnants of Li You who had just returned from Shandong, and the person who took the lead was Li You's deputy general Pang Delong,

Since Li You was killed, Pang Delong was chased by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to Waihuang, and the city was defended to the death, thinking that he would die in Waihuang for this battle, but in the battle of Dingtao, Xiang Liang was killed, so that the Chu army returned to the east in a hurry, and Pang Delong was able to escape his life.

But Li You's body can't last long, Pang Delong after confirming the retreat of the Chu army, he cremated Li You's body on the spot, loaded it in a clay pot, and tied it to his own warhorse, this time back in Guanzhong, Pang Delong's only wish is to return Li You's ashes to Li Si, so that Li You can return to his roots and bury his homeland,

In the battle with the Chu army, Pang Delong has completely realized that the Chu army is strong and Xiang Yu is brave, and it is definitely not a small person like himself who can compete with it, so as long as Pang Delong can return to Xianyang this time, he will withdraw from the army and go to the field for the people.

At this time, the team was still slowly advancing, most of Li You's old subordinates had been killed by Xiang Yu, and some of Pang Delong's subordinates who had been assembled and collected had also withdrawn to Sanchuan County.

He could have rushed back to Guanzhong half a month ago, but the heavy snow blocked Pang Delong's trip, he repeatedly delayed on the road, resulting in today, he could not return to Xianyang, but the land of Guanzhong has been covered with snow, this kind of snow, I don't know when it will melt, Pang Delong does not want to continue to delay on the road, therefore, he led a part of the soldiers, first rushed back to Xianyang, and the rest of the old department, and then followed,

At this time, a ray of sunlight sprinkled on the earth, shining on the snow, it was so dazzling, Pang Delong couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, looking into the distance, and then not far, it was Liyang, into Liyang, from the capital, it was not far away,

Victory is in the distance, Pang Delong looked back at the ashes on his war horse, and sighed: "General, I will be able to take you home soon,"

Since Zhang Han asked for the order to send troops, he defeated Zhou Wen and chased him to Mianchi to kill himself, and then, Zhang Han fought everywhere, countless battles of all sizes, won more and lost less, since then, Guanzhong Da'an, Hu Hai is also happy to return to the harem, and the concubines enjoy the joy of family, the power of the court, gradually controlled by Zhao Gao, Zhao Dang is a dominant family in the court, no one can compare,

Zhao Gao gradually developed the habit of arrogance, every time he went out, there must be three thousand troops to escort, six high cars and horses to accompany him, the people saw it, all hated it, but Zhao Gao's power is too great, it has been entrenched, no one can shake it, so, everyone also tries to avoid Zhao Gao, no one wants to touch Zhao Gao's moldy head,

But in the autumn of this year, the news that was unfavorable to the Qin army came to Xianyang one after another, first Zhang Han destroyed Wei, and the Qin people all cheered, but then, Zhang Han was defeated in Dong'e, and was killed by Xiang Yu to lose his armor, and even the army did not care, and fled in a hurry, and then, the Chu army chased and killed the Qin army everywhere, blocking Zhang Han in Puyang, and almost died.

As soon as this kind of news flows into Xianyang, it will be full of storms in the city, and the people will be panicked.

Subsequently, Zhao Gao has mobilized soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the name of Hu Hai to aid Zhanghan, so that Wang Li, Yang Xiong, Li You and other soldiers and horses will enter Dangjun, Shangjun and other places one after another.

In the first battle of Dingtao, Zhang Han killed Xiang Liang and passed the first into the capital, but due to the heavy snow in Guanzhong, the road was difficult to travel, and the news of Zhang Han's victory has not been transmitted back so far, and the court has exploded like a pot of boiling water.

Hu Hai is also today, just learned the news of Zhang Han's fiasco, although he complained that Zhao Gao should not hide himself, but at this time Zhao Gao has won Hu Hai's heart, just said a few words to him, and did not criticize too much, at this time, the ministers gathered in Xianyang Palace to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy,

The hall was silent, no one wanted to be the first to speak, Hu Hai, who was sitting on the Luan chair, had already thrown down two inkstones, smashed in the center of the hall, banging, I don't know how long passed, Zhao Gao coughed dryly, slowly walked out of the court, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the bandit army Changque, most of them are the famous generals of the old Chu, and they will poke Zhang Han big if they are good at civil and military affairs, but the minister thinks that although Zhang Han is a small defeat, it is insignificant, as long as the Quartet reinforcements arrive in Puyang, Zhang Han can also turn defeat into victory, please rest assured,"

Zhao Gao's words were obviously perfunctory, how could Hu Hai not hear it, the anger that had just been extinguished in his heart was ignited again, in anger, Hu Hai resolutely got up and reprimanded: "The army of 300,000 will be defeated in one battle, is this a small defeat?"

"This ......"

Zhao Gao was suddenly reprimanded by Hu Hai, and didn't know how to answer, on the side, Li Si took the opportunity to come out and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in the first battle of Dong'a, the Chu army only had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it could defeat my 300,000 divisions of a hundred battles, and its responsibility should be on the main general, please Your Majesty issue an order, transfer back to Zhang Han, choose another fierce general, command the three armies, and then fight the Chu army,"

Although Li Si clearly said that Zhang Han was derelict in his duties, in fact, Li Si was attacking Zhao Gao, and no one knew about the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Han was a general promoted by Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai also heard the meaning of Li Si's words, but at this time, Hu Hai didn't want to turn his face with Zhao Gao, after all, there were still many things in the court, and Zhao Gao needed to help deal with them, and once Zhao Gao was gone, Hu Hai couldn't enjoy himself in the harem with peace of mind.

"This ...... The minister is also responsible," Li Si sighed lightly, he wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but Hu Hai kicked this matter to himself, Li Si had a hard time arguing, so he had to stand in place, bowing his head and saying nothing, seeing Li Si like this, Hu Hai didn't want to say anything, he coughed dryly, looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and said loudly: "Now, I don't want to investigate who is right and who is wrong, I just want to know, who has a plan to retreat from the enemy,"

There was silence in the hall, and no one answered Hu Hai, but this made Hu Hai even more angry: "At the critical moment, have you all become dumb, what is the use of raising you?"

"Report the ......" Hu Hai just wanted to have a seizure, outside the hall, a soldier rushed in, carrying a wooden box in his hand, came to the center of the main hall, the soldier knelt on one knee, arched his hand and said: "Report ...... Dingtao 800 miles urgent, General Zhang Han broke the Chu army, beheaded the Chu general Xiang Liang, killed 70,000 enemies, and specially presented the head, please verify it,"

After speaking, the soldier dragged the wooden box with one hand, opened the lid, a lifelike head, covered with white ash, plus days of winter snow, the weather was cold, so that the head was clearly recognizable, Hu Hai covered his nose at this time and looked at it, he was far away, he couldn't see it clearly, it was just a form of walking, at this time I heard that the Chu army had been broken, Hu Hai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Lord Zhao, this time you said it again, Zhang Han really didn't disappoint me,"

After a pause, Hu Hai said again: "I want to reward Zhang Han and the former soldiers,"

"My Emperor Holy Judge, may my Emperor live Long live Long live," Baiguan Shan shouted, kneeling on the ground, at this time, Hu Hai had put Zhang Han's recent defeat behind him, he laughed and got up, and walked out of the hall,

"Your Majesty has a decree, retreat from the court," a small eunuch stepped forward and shouted loudly,

,,,,,,

Leaving Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai's Luan drove straight to Ganquan Palace, he was in a very good mood at this time, Zhang Han's great victory, broke Hu Hai's heart knot these days, at this time, he reached out to open the side curtains, outside is a white world, heavy snow covered the entire Guanzhong, although it can be seen that the snow on the road has been cleared, but Hu Hai's car still maintains a slow speed of progress,

At this time, a carriage came after him at a rapid pace, and stopped a hundred paces away from Hu Hai's chariot, at this time, a guard came to the window on horse, and arched his hand on the horse and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao's carriage is coming,"

Hu Hai nodded, Luan Yu stopped advancing, at this time, Zhao Gao's slightly fat body appeared in Hu Hai's field of vision, he trotted all the way, and soon came to Luan Yu, arching his hand and saying: "Your Majesty, you are looking for me,"

Hu Hai's hoarse voice came from inside the car: "Zhao Qing, come in,"

An attendant put the kicking pedal in front of the car, Zhao Gao slowly walked into the carriage, at this time, the waiter put away the kicking pedal again, and ordered the coachman on the side: "Get up,"

The carriage slowly entered again, in the car, Zhao Gao was half-bent over, accompanied by the side, both of them were silent, I don't know how long passed, Hu Hai sighed lightly, looked at Zhao Gao intently, and sighed: "Zhao Qing, do you know why I am looking for you?"

"The minister doesn't know ......"

"In the battle of Shandong, although Zhang Han temporarily turned the tide of the war, I am very worried about whether the bandit army can resurrect," Speaking of this, Hu Hai's sharp eyes wandered on Zhao Gao, and continued: "When Zhou City entered the customs, it almost hit Xianyang, at this time, I still remember it vividly, this time, I want you to take a letter of resignation, urge Zhang Han, try to exterminate the bandit army, I don't want to hear any news that is unfavorable to the imperial court,"

Zhao Gao arched his hand and sang a promise, Hu Hai took his thoughts back to his eyes, and said: "Recently, everything is fine in Xianyang,"

Hu Hai was obsessed with the harem all day long, and he didn't care about the control of Xianyang at all, only occasionally remembered it, and would ask, at this time, Hu Hai suddenly asked about the recent situation in Xianyang, Zhao Gao was slightly surprised, and couldn't help laughing dryly: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, everything is fine in Xianyang, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all praise Your Majesty's benevolence, but there are a few officials ......"

Zhao Gao deliberately paused to speak, Hu Hai vaguely heard that Zhao Gao had something to say, and he reprimanded unhappily: "If you have something to say, don't talk about it,"

"Oh," Zhao Gao pretended to be frightened, and said softly: "The minister has occasionally heard that many courtiers have slandered His Majesty, and often discuss the current situation in the wine shop, which will seriously threaten Your Majesty's reputation, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment,"

"How can this be reasonable," Hu Hai was furious, he looked at Zhao Gao, and said angrily: "You have full authority to deal with this matter for me, and if anyone dares to talk about it, there will be no forgiveness,"

What Zhao Gao wanted was Hu Hai's words, and at this time he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The minister has written it down,"
