After Shang Xin left, Ying Zheng was a little relieved, but Feng Quji was not happy.

Even if 50,000 thieves are destroyed, there are still 100,000, which is still incomparable to 50,000 city defense troops.

"Your Majesty." Feng Quji arched his hand, "Why didn't you ask Li Zhao clearly just now what he relied on to completely destroy the thief army?" ”

This question has been haunting him, and it is still the same sentence, it is impossible for Li Zhao to defeat the thief army with the help of the people of Chang'an, unless he has a big killing weapon, but I heard that Li Zhao's big killing weapon has been used up, this possibility is not very likely.

He believed that Li Zhao had other weapons, even more powerful than the weapons of mass destruction, and it was precisely this weapon that wiped out the 50,000 thief army.

Actually, his idea was very simple.

In the face of the enemy's strength and weakness, if such a weapon can be placed on the defense of the city, why should the thief army not be broken.

Ying Zheng didn't answer his words directly, he glanced at Feng Quji and Taiwei deeply, and answered the question: "What do you think of Li Zhao's boy?" ”

Feng Quji did not beat around the bush, and said: "Greedy for money, but loyal." ”

"What do you think, Captain?" Ying Zheng didn't respond to Feng Quji, and glanced at the captain coldly.

The lieutenant was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "The minister thinks that Li, General Li is very good, very good." He was worried that His Majesty had an opinion of him because he had questioned Li Zhao just now.

But Ying Zheng was expressionless, and did not question him again, but looked at it and asked again: "What about you?" ”

These words are very fatal, this is the words of questioning the two, Feng Qu is nothing, and replied heartily: "The minister is loyal to His Majesty." ”

But the Taiwei was different, and quickly knelt down, but scolded himself thousands of times in his heart, scolding himself for knowing that His Majesty favored Li Zhao, and still questioning Li Zhao, isn't this self-inflicted?

No, His Majesty doubts him.

said timidly, "The minister has no second thoughts about His Majesty. ”

There are drops of sweat dripping from the forehead.

In fact, Taiwei thought too much, but His Majesty still didn't blame him.

Ying Zheng's face softened, showing a hint of satisfaction and sighing, holding his back and saying solemnly:

"It doesn't hurt to tell you now."

"Do you still remember what official position Li Zhao held before he was named the main general?"

"Less!" The lieutenant replied quickly.

"A thousand generals!" Feng Qujian cautiously glanced at Ying Zheng and replied.

"Yes, a thousand generals in command of two thousand armies."

"But do you know that the 2,000 army is called the elite of the Tiger Army, and it has been hidden in secret."

Ying Zheng has no doubts about the loyalty of the two, and at this moment, in order to make them feel at ease, it is necessary to say it.

"And this?" Feng Qu was surprised, and the next moment, he seemed to think of something, and shouted, his eyes widened, "Your Majesty means to say." Realizing that his voice was too loud, he hurriedly lowered it, "The 50,000 thieves in Chang'an Township are Li Zhao's secret launch of 2,000 elites. ”

After Li Zhao destroyed the Sagashan bandits, His Majesty named Li Zhao a thousand generals and gave them to two thousand troops, he knew this, and he also knew that His Majesty was interested in Li Zhao's big killer, but then it was unknown, and the two thousand troops seemed to have disappeared.

Now it seems that Li Zhao must have secretly trained the 2,000 troops and created many weapons of mass destruction for the 2,000 troops to use.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that 50,000 thieves can be destroyed, after all, it is 2,000 elites and hand-captured big killing weapons, and no one can beat it.

Ying Zheng nodded, in fact, his guess was the same.

As for what Shang Xin said was the thief army led by Li Zhao to destroy the people in Chang'an Township, he filtered it, Shang Xin was just a slave, how could he know about the existence of two thousand elites?

"Huh!" After receiving His Majesty's affirmative answer, Feng Quji suddenly laughed, and his heart that had been suppressed for several days was suddenly released.

With 2,000 elite guards who can kill 50,000 thieves, plus 50,000 troops in the city defense, the east gate is stable.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, two thousand elites are so good, they are really the pinnacle of my Great Qin's luck, with them, my Great Qin is as stable as Mount Tai."

Feng Qujian congratulated, and the Taiwei realized it later, and also showed great joy, and hurriedly congratulated him.

"That's it!" Ying Zheng rarely showed a smile, waved his hand, and said, "You will stay here and accompany me to see how the two thousand troops resist the enemy." ”

"I'm curious!"

Yes, not only Ying Zheng is curious, but Feng Quji and the two are also curious, 2,000 troops killed 50,000 troops, the combat power is so powerful, in the case of the city wall defense, what will happen to the 100,000 army?

They don't think they're going to be wiped out, so they don't know how much they can do.

This is good news, and suddenly, the three of them were much more relieved, and they even ordered someone to bring snacks and eat them with confidence, as if the crisis outside had nothing to do with them.

Two miles away from the east gate, in a deep mountain, there is a temporary camp, and there are several people sitting in the camp, it is Zhang Liang, Jia Xiong, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, etc.

Faintly, Zhang Liang sat on the main seat, Jia Xiong sat on the side, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang sat on the lower seat, below were a group of Confucian scholars, and then there were figures such as commanders.

"Cao Yang can reach the West Gate?" Zhang Liang asked a commander.

This commander is a spy on the enemy, and he is arranging spies to be distributed under Xianyang City to investigate.

The commander arched his hand: "Back to the military division, according to the report of the spies, no." ”

"Not really?" Zhang Liang stood up, his eyes staring at the commander, "What is he eating, it has been several days, and he has not yet reached Simon?" ”

The commander lowered his head and said, "According to the spy report, General Cao has arrived in Chang'an Township, but why he has not reached Ximen for a long time is unknown for the time being. ”

"You? I don't know such important information, are you worthy of Xiang Gong? Zhang Liang was furious, pulled out his sword fiercely, and wanted to stab it, but was stopped by Jia Xiong next to him.

"The military advisor is angry, since General Cao has arrived in Chang'an Township, the matter has been completed, and it must be known that the two-hour journey from Chang'an Township to Xianyang will not affect our plan."

Zhang Liang restrained his anger when he heard this, but said fiercely to the commander: "Let the spies probe again, you must know Cao Yang's whereabouts." ”

"No!" The Commander hurriedly agreed, and stepped back.

"Wait!" Zhang Liang drank the commander, and the commander stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhang Liang in a daze.

"What is the situation in Xianyang? Is it still the original armament? ”

The Commander pondered for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

In fact, this time he came to the camp to report the incident, but Zhang Liang was very dissatisfied with his attitude, so he said: "It's still the same as before." ”

"Really?" Zhang Liang was cautious, squinting at the commander, who nodded.

"Alright, you go down!"

Zhang Liang waved his hand.

The commander left, and when he walked out of the distance, his eyes showed resentment, and he said to himself: "Hmph, Xiang Gong is really blind, he actually asked him to command, let me wait to go to the dangerous cliff, and I am so domineering, I don't want to do what you want, what can you do with me?" ”

"Humph! The Qin army gathered 50,000 troops at the east gate, so you can fight! When the time comes, see how Xiang Gong punishes you. ”

I have to say that the thief army is not monolithic, and there are naturally contradictions.

"When you suffer a loss, and beg me again, he will embarrass you."

Zhang Liang didn't know what the commander thought, and at this moment, the righteous and evil smiled and looked at Jia Xiong.

"General Jia, have all the detailed work in the city been arranged?"

Jia Xiong's face trembled, and a ruthless color was born, "Naturally, it is arranged, just wait for my rebel army to arrive, and the east and west doors will open by themselves." ”

Zhang Liang nodded with satisfaction, but smiled strangely and said, "In addition to these two gates, the south gate must also be opened." ”

Jia Xiong frowned, he didn't understand what Zhang Liang meant, and asked, "Why did the military advisor arrange it like this?" ”

You must know that there are not many fine works that he arranged to blend into the city, and it is already difficult to open the east and west gates at the same time, and then open a south gate, it will definitely cause unnecessary impact, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that the fine works that blended in are all people he cultivated, and if they are found to be all destroyed, it will be a big loss for him.

"You don't need to ask, this army division has its own arrangements."

Jia Xiong was very unhappy when he heard this, he took the risk of treason, that is, he was favored by Xiang Gong, but he was hiding it from him at the moment, which was not believing him.

That night, Jia Xiong was about to rest, Zhang Liang sent someone to find him, led him to the tent, Zhang Liang changed the majesty of the day, full of flattering smiles.

"I hope the general doesn't mind the daytime, this is the last resort of the ovary."

Jia Xiong was a little relieved when he heard this, but asked, "Why?" ”

"This is the strategy of the ovary, and the ovary can't be trusted."

Zhang Mo is the commander of the spying army.

"Oh! Commander Zhang is known as a ghost, and he has good espionage methods, how can he not believe it? ”

Zhang Liang didn't explain, "This is the intuition of the ovary, he must be unreliable, so I asked you to find out more, so as to make a decision to attack the city." ”

Jia Xiong nodded, and secretly said that Zhang Liang was cautious, but he had already put his hope on the ovary, so he naturally did not push it back, and soon, he sent someone to sneak to Xianyang.

Two hours later, it was reported that the city defense army had concentrated 50,000 troops at the east gate, and the other three gates were empty.

"Sure enough, Zhang Mo just can't believe it." Zhang Liang said angrily, but he pondered and muttered, "It's not right! Cao Yang's whereabouts were not hidden, it was impossible for the Qin army not to know, why did he abandon Ximen? ”

"Is General Jia's message accurate?" He looked at Jia Xiong suspiciously.

Jia Xiong glared, "My people are absolutely reliable. ”

"Maybe they look down on General Cao, so they defend the east gate."

This is Jia Xiong's speculation, but this speculation is empty and weak, 50,000 troops is not a small number, even if you look down on it, it will not be taken lightly to such an extent.

"No" Zhang Liang fell into hard thought, refuted Jia Xiong coldly, and said one by one, "Trouble General Jia immediately send someone to investigate Cao Yang's whereabouts and inform me as soon as possible." ”

Jia Xiong also thought that this was a problem and immediately sent someone to investigate.

Two hours later, the spies came back to report that there was no trace of the 50,000 troops in Chang'an Township, and there was no trace of the road from Chang'an Township to Ximen, and the 50,000 troops seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"How so?" Hearing this, Zhang Liang was shocked, his face turned pale, and he thought of a possibility that Cao Yang was destroyed.

Jia Xiong was also shocked, and had the same idea as Zhang Liang, "As far as I know, Li Zhao has been in Chang'an Township these days, could it be that he used a big killing weapon." ”

Zhang Liang's heart was pounding, thinking of Mount Saga, thinking of the terrifying scene of the sand dunes, there was a cold sweat behind his back, and he hated it in his heart.

"Li Zhao, it's Li Zhao again."

"It's a good thing to hurt me several times, this person must die."

Jia Xiong also showed ruthlessness, this person, he also hated it, but when he thought of the 50,000 troops that disappeared out of thin air, he was afraid, and stepped back and asked: "Military advisor, Li Zhao has a big killing weapon, let's not act rashly." ”

"Of course!" Zhang Liang's face was ruthless, "This is the purpose of me asking you to open the south gate." ”

Jia Xiong thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "What does the military advisor mean to sneak into the city secretly and not let Li Zhao have the opportunity to launch a big killing weapon?" ”

The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth hooked, smiled slightly, and did not speak again.

Jia Xiong understood what Zhang Liang meant, but he was puzzled and asked, "Our army has a large number of people, how can we sneak in secretly?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled weirdly, "The sound is striking the west, hehe!" Li Zhao has a weapon of mass destruction, doesn't our army have it? ”

Jia Xiong's eyes lit up, he knew about the rebels' big killing weapon, but he was not fortunate enough to see it.

I heard that the power is comparable to Li Zhaozhi's big killer.

Li Zhao returned to Xianyang City, hurriedly went to the army to check, and saw that the 50,000 troops were all concentrated at the east gate, and when he asked, he realized that it was an order from His Majesty, so he didn't ask much.

But I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, 50,000 people are concentrated at the east gate, what about the other three gates? Wouldn't it give the thief army a chance to take advantage of it, even though they had destroyed 50,000, they still had 100,000, and 100,000 troops could be distributed everywhere.

But since His Majesty had already made a will, he couldn't question it, so he found Zhang Han and asked about the weapons sent by Ah Chao.

Ah Chao worked hard to manufacture weapons in a secret base, and the first batch was all sent to Chang'an Township, and all the later outputs were sent here except for mines.

"Don't worry, general, the secret weapon you ordered someone to send is well hidden and not exposed."

This is what Li Zhao instructed Ah Chao to tell Zhang Han that when the thief army did not attack the city, the secret weapon should not be exposed.

"10,000 grenades, 5,000 anti-aircraft guns, 10,000 shells."

"Two thousand elite troops are equipped with machine guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition."

Zhang Han reported the number of weapons, Li Zhao nodded, Ah Chao calculated that he was desperate, and he was embarrassed to make so many in a short period of time.

With these things, even if there are 100,000 thieves, they will not be afraid.

Li Zhao was very satisfied, and he led Zhang Han to inspect the city defense army.

Fifty thousand people are gathered here, but they can't help but be nervous, and most of them are still showing their declining colors.

It's no wonder that now there is a commotion in the city, which seriously affects their hearts, and there are still 100,000 troops outside, and then look at the city wall that is not very defensive, it is not surprising to have such a heart.

Li Zhao could only comfort a few words, and then became the shopkeeper, but when he left, he took away the 3,000 troops.

Although the thief army besieged the east, the other three gates also had to be defended, three thousand troops, one thousand and one thousand, although a little shabby, but better than nothing.

He was going to give these soldiers grenades and anti-aircraft guns, so that if the thieves appeared here, they could also have a defensive force.

After arranging all this, Li Zhao straightened up and asked about the matter that Zhang Han had asked him to investigate.

"Can you notice Lang Zhongling and those who deliver potatoes?"

When Zhang Han heard this, his face became solemn, he looked around, lowered his voice and said, "General, the last general has found something suspicious, and you need to decide." ”

"Say!" Li Zhao frowned.

"Since these people sent potatoes, the number of people entering the city has been more than the number of people leaving the city every time, and every time the potatoes arrive, there are guards to answer them, and they have prepared carriages, which seems very mysterious."

"Oh!" Li Zhao's face turned grim, "Do you know where the extra people are sent?" ”

"They were sent to the vicinity of the east and west gates, and the people I sent secretly found that they usually acted as merchants, shouting and buying and selling near the two gates, but at night they put on the clothes of guards and accosted the guards of the city gates."

Li Zhao's brows furrowed even tighter.

These people are very suspicious.

"There is another thing that is even more strange, since this morning, merchants have also appeared at the south gate one after another, selling things to the defenders of the city gate more openly, and the price is very low."
