Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In April of the second year of Qin II, Zhou Wen led his army directly to Guguan, attacking the city along the way. The terrain was like a broken bamboo, and troops were constantly recruiting troops. By the time they arrived at Hangu Pass, there were thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Soon they were stationed in the water and attacked Hangu Pass.  .  Sanchuan County in the east was restrained by Wu Guang, and Wang Ben in the south was entangled by Song Liu. Although they had the upper hand on both sides, it was too late to defeat tens of thousands of troops at the Hangu Pass and rescue Hangu Pass.  Hangu Pass used to be an important pass of the Qin Dynasty, but since the unification of the six kingdoms, the role of Hangu Pass has become much smaller, so it has gradually been abandoned. Today, there are only less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they were all injured during the unification of the six kingdoms.  Although the retired veterans have rich experience, they have not been trained for many years, and their weapons are not ready, so their combat effectiveness can be imagined.  As long as Hangu Pass is broken, it can go straight to Xianyang, and the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed overnight, so all the rebels in the world are overjoyed. Previously, because the Zhao army wiped out 80,000 rebels, some of the rebels in the world were extinguished, and instantly began to explode.  The rebel armies from all over the country attacked cities and territories one after another. Most of the southeast and central plains broke away from the Qin Dynasty. Even Wu Bing of Hengshan County raised the rebel flag. It can be said that the Qin Dynasty's decrees have not left the Guanzhong, and Linzi has become an isolated city. The Southern Army Zhao  Tuo stood aside and watched while the Northern Army Meng Tian was implicated by the Huns who were ready to make a move.  For a time, everyone in the old Qin Dynasty was panic-stricken, and the government and the public were shaken.  "How could this happen? How could this happen?" In the Beiling Hall, Fusu, who was sitting on the high throne, had a pale face and kept muttering in a low voice. His fingers could not help but tremble. Am I really going to lose my country? What will happen to me a hundred years from now?  It¡¯s not right to go see your father.  If I lose my country, I'm afraid I won't live to be a hundred years old.  All the ministers in the palace were equally panic-stricken.  He lowered his head and said nothing. The First Emperor once said that he would pass on the Qin Kingdom to thousands of generations, but this was only the second generation.  At this time, Meng Yi pondered for a moment, stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, this is a time of national calamity. We must not lose heart. We must unite as one and use the power of the whole country to destroy the bandits first. The best plan was last time.  Hou Yi was able to defeat 80,000 rebels with only 40,000 troops and behead their enemies. Now Chen Sheng has sent all his troops out to attack everywhere. Isn¡¯t this a good opportunity to go straight to the base and draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron?¡± ¡°Master Meng said.  What's more, if Yide Sheng is in danger, all the rebel troops he sent will definitely come back to help, and they will be able to defeat all the rebel troops in the past." Feng Quji stood up and said.  Hearing this, most of the officials in the court also bowed in agreement.  Although Fusu lacks courage and skill, he is not bad in ability. With the assistance of Meng Yi and Feng Quji, most of the ministers in the court are honest and capable, and their responses are quick.  "This" Fusu was still a little hesitant when he heard this.  He naturally knew that the overall situation should be the most important thing now.  But the last time Zhao Jun wiped out Ge Ying, it caused an uproar in the court. Both officials and Qin people admired Zhao Jun very much. If he was really doing some meritorious deeds, the ministers also understood Fusu's concerns. Meng Yi  I couldn't help but secretly sigh, Fusu was a bit capable and wise, but his courage and skill were not even close to those of the late emperor.  At this time, Li Si raised his head and glanced at Fusu. After thinking deeply, he decided to take a heavy dose, bowed and said: "As far as I know, among the rebels in the world, apart from Chen Sheng, there are several other rebels who are stronger.  I won¡¯t mention Wu Bingchen of Hengshan County. His Majesty must have understood that if he had not taken the Southern Army into consideration, he would have sent troops long ago. It is worth mentioning that Liu Bang of Peixian County and Xiang Liang of Kuaiji County each have tens of thousands of elite troops at their disposal, especially those of Liu Bang.  After Xiang Liang became General Xiang Yan, he had a high prestige in the Chu region. Now his strength is increasing day by day. The late emperor was also very jealous of the Xiang family. " "That's right, the prime minister said," Fu Su nodded with a bitter look on his face.  The more frightened he is, Chen Sheng is still just a grassroots rebel, but the Xiang family is different, and may not be weaker than Chen Sheng in terms of development.  Li Si continued: "Now they are holding back. One is to develop their power, and the other is to take into account the sharpness of Shenwuhou in Linzi. Speaking of which, His Majesty's original four-pole locking of the sky was extremely good. At this time, Shenwuhou should be our leader."  The sharp sword of the Qin Dynasty will kill all the traitors in the world without hesitation. In other words, if your majesty takes care of you as a brother and does not use it, then the sword will be dusted and the rebels in the world will have no worries for a long time. I am afraid that they will gather in groups and attack Wu Xianyang. Then they may return.  The sky is powerless." As soon as these words came out, all the ministers couldn't help but look at Li Si secretly, and at the same time they praised Gao Ming in their hearts.  In fact, Meng Yi and Feng Quji also understand this truth. Fusu has always been jealous of Zhao Jun and abandoned it. Sooner or later, the rebels will see through it and become more unscrupulous. However, no one dares to say it because they are afraid of offending Fusu.  Although Meng Yi and Feng Quji were honest ministers and had no such concerns, they were afraid of backfire and worried that Fusu would be even more reluctant to use Zhao's army when he was angry.  However, Li Si solved this problem. He first explained the seriousness of the matter and attracted Fusu's attention, and then flattered Fusu when he mentioned Zhao Jun.  When he finally proposed to let Zhao Jun send troops, he was even more tactful, and even said that Fusu deliberately suppressed Zhao Jun, saying that Fusu took into account the friendship between brothers and was reluctant to let Zhao Jun send troops out of love.  This sentence is like a soft knife. When the slap made Fusu extremely comfortable, it also forced Fusu to give an order.Let Zhao Jun send troops. Otherwise, Fusu would only care about his personal feelings and not be a public enemy of the emperor.  The crowd could not help but praise it, and even Feng Zhizhi, who had always been not very kind with Li Si, had to look at Li Si's eyes.  Fusu was even more angry and wanted to laugh and glared at Li Si. After a while, he could only follow Li Si's words and said: "Well, what the prime minister said makes sense. I was too worried about my second brother before, and the state affairs were unclear.  I immediately issued an edict and ordered my second brother to send troops to Chen County to destroy Chengshen." After hearing this, all the ministers bowed and praised: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!" However, after a while, Chun Yuxu, who was already a Tingwei, came out and said: "  Your Majesty, Marquis Shenwu only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How can he attack Chen County in a short time? Moreover, Nanyang is not far from Chen County. Song Liu can provide timely reinforcements. But if Zhou Wen desperately captures Hangu Pass, wouldn't Xianyang be in danger?  ?¡± ¡°We can send some soldiers and horses from Tianfu to join forces with His Majesty¡¯s left and right Yulin Guards to rush to Hangu Pass to guard it. Considering the danger of Hangu Pass, as long as we defend it with all our strength, there will be no problem,¡± Feng Quji said, and several other ministers also said.  Nodding, that's all these people are currently doing.  But Chun Yuxu sneered: "But what if Marquis Shenwu is still unable to attack Chen County? Zhou Wen has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Wu Guang is in Sanchuan County, which poses a great threat, and the soldiers and horses of Shuntian Prefecture have not fought in these years.  , gradually turned into a local force to control public security, how to fight against Zhou Wen, and the Yulin Guard is His Majesty's imperial guard, which is related to His Majesty's safety. It is a time of chaos, if the defense of Xianyang Palace is reduced, how to ensure His Majesty's safety, if anything happens  Who of you can be responsible?" "You" Feng Quji was stunned for a moment, Meng Yi also glanced at Chunyu Xu coldly, he was clearly making excuses, how could a war be without danger? Who can guarantee it.  The other ministers also glared angrily, but dared not say anything. Chunyu Xu held the emperor's safety in his hands, and no one dared to say more. Even Li Si lowered his head and said nothing, acting wisely to protect himself.  Fusu's face on the emperor's throne was gloomy and uncertain. After all, he was not as courageous as the First Emperor. What Chunyu Xu said made him very worried, fearing that Zhou Wen would break through Hangu Pass before Zhao Jun could break through Chen County. Although Fusu was talented,  But since becoming the emperor, he has attached great importance to his own life and really does not want to reduce the Habayashi Guards.  For a time, the hall fell into silence.  "Your Majesty, I ask for orders to lead troops to attack Zhou Wen." At this time, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and the young master Zhang Han stepped out, walked to the middle of the hall, and bowed in salute.  "Huh?" All the ministers in the palace were stunned and looked at Zhang Han in surprise. Even Fusu looked at Zhang Han with confusion.  No one expected that Zhang Han, who had been silent and by the rules in recent years, would suddenly do something shocking.  Why would he, a tax manager, call for troops to fight? Where did Xianyang get the extra troops? Fusu's face changed several times, and finally he looked at the middle-aged Zhang Han and said, "Zhang Shaofu cherishes the Qin Dynasty.  He is concerned about the country and the people, and his desire to fight is commendable. I am very relieved. However, leading troops to fight is not a child's play. This war is more related to the fate of our country. It's not that I don't believe in your ability. It's just that you are responsible for paying taxes.  Civil service is not the same as military service, so how can we go to the battlefield?" The ministers in the palace nodded in unison, the emperor was indeed right.  However, Zhang Han had a firm look on his face and said loudly: "I am willing to establish a military order and I will not defeat Zhou Shi, I will die!" ps: ps: Do you have any brothers who have monthly tickets? Come here today and tomorrow, the monthly tickets at the end of this month will be invalid  Yes, if there are others, please vote for meat buns.  In addition, thanks to the monthly votes of many brothers yesterday and today, we have reached 310, advancing dozens of places, but there is still a downward trend, so I hope our brothers will stick to the last two days, come on!
