Chapter 62: House of Flying Daggers
Chen Di.
In the dark night, there were whispers around the mountains and forests.
"Little Dragon, is Long Xiu ready?"
Xiang Shaoyu stood beside the big tree, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance, and asked.
"Since Fusu's disappearance, Zhao Gao supported Hu Hai to ascend the throne. However, the eighteenth crown prince of the Great Qin was not popular. In addition to his harsh and violent governance, the relatives of the princes outside Chen land were already in disagreement. As long as we attack Chen City tonight and raise the banner of anti-Qin, the princes of Guandong will definitely respond. My brother is ready!"
Long Qi crawled beside Xiang Shaoyu and said.
The situation at this moment was very subtle. When Xingyang City was defeated, the rebels of various princes occupied various places and were not subordinate to each other. Although they were openly respected by the court in Chen, in fact, the princes did not obey the control, and even could not even listen to the tune or not.
Hu Hai was not Fusu. He did not have such a brilliant ruler or had such great prestige. In addition, he was harsh in the government, and even a group of Fusu old ministers in Chendi, tens of thousands of defenders showed signs of being disloyal.
In order to deal with the Xiongnu and Yuezhi, the Qin court in Guanzhong used a large amount of troops and resources to the Great Wall border and the Western Regions, and the pace of invading Guandong slowed down.
"Although things are dangerous, we have no way out!" Xiang Shaoyu said.
The elite troops of the Chu army were all destroyed, and Xiang Shaoyu had only eight thousand children from Jiangdong. He wanted to rely on these eight thousand people to capture Chen land and destroy the court in Chen land, and then he could raise the banner and call on all the princes to gather under his command to rebel against Qin.
Otherwise, no matter how brave Xiang Shaoyu is, no matter how good his soldiers are in battle, they are destined to be Ying Ziyi's opponent.
From Chendi to Guanzhong, either through Nanyang or Xingyang, no matter which one, you have to face hundreds of cities. The Qin army's countless guards and soldiers were dangerous and critical passes. With his eight thousand men alone, they could not be defeated.
Therefore, Xiang Shaoyu needs great justice, or an excuse, an excuse to command the princes of Guandong to face the west.
Destroy Qin!
"The farmer is here to assist, and Ji Buyingbu's troops are ready, and he can help us at any time!" Long Qi said.
"Okay! We can only wait, waiting for the signal in the city!" Xiang Shaoyu murmured.
....
Chen Di, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Gao sat in the mansion, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. However, he could not read the contents of the bamboo slips.
After many years, he was already a gray-haired old man. However, although he was old, Zhao Gao's ambitions had never been extinguished and his obsession with power had never been given up.
But this time, he had a helpless feeling of swaying mountains and rivers. Although the Qin army's offensive slowed down, the momentum of victory and defeat was very obvious. The Qin army's offensive changed from whale swallowing to erosion. Today it will lead to a city and another city tomorrow. In the long run, let alone the defenders of Chen, even the various princes who are as deep as the sea of Qin court will be shaken.
Zhao Gao is a villain, but a villain does not mean he has no talent. Otherwise, he would not have been reused by Qin Emperor for so many years.
At this moment, Zhao Gao felt a sense of fatigue from the bottom of his heart. Every day, he had to spend all his brains to appease Hu Hai in the court. When he went down, he also had to arrange military defense to win over all the princes, so as not to let them move closer to Ying Ziyi.
However, although Zhao Gao tried his best, a large number of refugees ran towards Emperor Ying Ziyi's territory every day. Some border cities were even empty, and even the officials in the government office fled.
There was a sound outside the house, and Zhao Gao woke up from his thoughts and asked, "Is it Long Xiu?"
In the corridor outside the house, a long sword pierced into Long Xiu's body. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word, and soon he lost his voice.
The door of the house was slowly opened, and a short figure walked in from outside the corridor.
The first moment he saw this figure, Zhao Gao's tiny eyes narrowed.
"Who are you?"
"The net of heaven and earth is everywhere. Lord Zhao Gao should not be unfamiliar with this name!" Walking into the house was a short man who described him as a short man, Monkey, one of the top masters under Ying Ziyi's command.
"You are Ying Ziyi's man!" Zhao Gao suddenly became alert, Huo De stood up and said in shock.
"Mr. Zhao Gao, don't bother. We have solved all the guards in the mansion." As the monkey finished speaking, dozens of powerful auras appeared outside the house.
"How did you do it?" Zhao Gao felt like he was surrounded by a group of ferocious beasts at this moment.
"Haha! Lord Zhao Gao, don't you understand at this point?" The monkey was patrolling around Zhao Gao, not in a hurry. "From the beginning, you didn't have a chance to win. Even though Fusu could easily gather authority at the wedding banquet, from another perspective, it also facilitated our people from the net to penetrate the old tribes of the six countries! This city has long been full of holes. Of course, there are naturally no need for this, Lord Zhao Gao and the help of Hu Hai's son!"
To a certain extent, the nature of Kanto, the disappointment of officials at all levels in the throne of vassals and the imperial court in Chen are the reasons why large-scale infiltration of the net can be successful.
The people of Kanto hoped to return to the feudal system because of a lot of propaganda from old Confucian scholars and the advocacy of noble relatives from the six countries.
However, the fact is cruel. When the people of Kanto really returned to the feudal system they wanted, the life they wanted did not come. Instead, the successive military failures of various princes led to a surge in military spending. In order to maintain their own survival, all princes began to impose levies and fight for their military force.
The princes had thought of reducing the burden through plunder. However, the huge empire and the long Yellow River were an iron curtain separated by a distance, blocking the soldiers of the princes.
The princes fought in a melee, and the public security in this huge Central Plains was quickly corrupted, with white bones on the road and the people were unblocked.
On the other hand, under the Qin Dynasty, through large-scale military farming, the empire began to stabilize economically and won successively military victory. Although the people under their rule were still not rich, they were able to eat and have enough food and clothing. Compared with the people in Kanto, they were much better both spiritually and materially.
Compared with the two, the people of Kanto fled to the counties under the empire one after another. Officials from all over Kanto also saw the benefits of the Qin Dynasty's county system.
In a nutshell, the hearts of the people of the world will return to Qin!
Zhao Gao looked at the monkey and asked vigilantly: "Since that's the case, why do you have to wait until now?"
"Chen Di is a bait, you can catch those big fish!" After the monkey said that, a faint fire light from the sky rushed upwards. Under the quiet night sky, accompanied by this fire light, it became noisy in an instant.
"Who is it?" Zhao Gao asked in doubt.
"Who else?" the monkey smiled and said, "Who else has the courage to run hundreds of miles to seize this city at this moment? However, before he seizes this city, we still have some things to do!"
The murderous aura came over his face, which was a dangerous situation that Zhao Gao had never felt before.
...
The noisy soldiers surged from outside the city, and soon rescued and penetrated into the city. After only two hours of fierce battle, Xiang Shaoyu controlled the city walls and the palace, and the most important Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Xiang Shaoyu heavily besieged the place where the government orders were issued, he only got a few exciting scenes.
At this moment, except for the corpses everywhere, there are no living people left in this prime minister's mansion.
"Brother, brother!"
On the corridor, the heart-wrenching sound of dragons surround Xiang Shaoyu's ears, but there was not much sadness in his heart.
Because the door of the house was open, but the scene inside made him not have time to be sad. Some of them were only doubts and deep doubts!
Who can kill a master like Zhao Gao? Moreover, looking at the appearance in the house, Zhao Gao had almost no power to fight back.
"Mr. Marquis!"
A lieutenant came from the side and said, "How is it, midnight?"
"Neither Ji Bu nor Ying Bu's army arrived on time, and Hu Hai in the palace had been assassinated. At this moment, there was a rumor that the marquis killed the monarch in the city."
Xiang Shaoyu is a smart person, so he naturally understands that things have been out of control at this point. Xiang Shaoyu is walking in this bloody house. Every time he takes a step, his body seems to be tighter. In the darkness, there is an invisible big hand, manipulating all this.
Long Qi settled the body of his brother Long Xiu, walked to Xiang Shaoyu, and asked, "Shaoyu, the situation is wrong, why don't we retreat!"
"Marty, it's not good. There are large-scale troops outside the city. Their attacks are so fast that they have broken through the posts we have placed on the periphery."
When the night faded and the morning light shone through the earth, Xiang Shaoyu came to the city wall and saw a large army outside the city lined up. The only Qin general in charge was Han Xin, who had fought with him in Nanyang!
Han Xin rode on the horse, looked at Xiang Shaoyu above the city wall, waved his sword, and said, "You are rebelling, why don't you surrender soon!"
It’s you, Ying Ziyi!
Xiang Shaoyu stood above the city wall and held his hands tightly.
