Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 351 Zhao Gao Driven to a Dead End
Since Liu Bang went west, he has fought many small battles and occupied more than a dozen cities.

Because the main force of the Qin army was defeated by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang's army seemed a little bit overwhelming.

However, Liu Bang still has self-knowledge. He knows that he is not strong enough, so his mind is not on sending troops to fight, but on collecting all kinds of troops.

As long as there are people who are willing to fight against Qin, Liu Bang will take them under his command. After entering Hangu Pass, Liu Bang's army is close to 20 horses.

During this period, Zhao Gao sent a secret envoy to discuss with Liu Bang, saying that if Guanzhong could be separated as king, he would be Liu Bang's internal support and destroy the Qin Dynasty.

It's a pity that Liu Bang thought too much, and finally did not form an alliance with Zhao Gao.

In this way, after surviving the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, he finally waited for Xiang Yu to break the boat before he entered Hangu Pass.

"Go! Kill!"

"Kill—!"

Amidst bursts of loud shouts, countless Chu troops brandishing weapons rushed towards the Hangu Pass.

This kind of fortress, which symbolizes the most powerful pass in the world, was broken by the Chu army in less than half a day.

Once upon a time, hundreds of thousands of elites from the six countries were unable to set foot on the land of Qin State in Hangu Pass.

Now there are only 20 miscellaneous Chu troops, but they have broken through the Hangu Pass in a grand manner, which is really shocking.

When the 20 prisoner army led by Zhang Han was sent out, Qin State seemed to be drained of its blood.

The troops stationed in Guanzhong are even more pitiful.

This allowed Liu Bang to take advantage of the gap, and finally succeeded in attacking Hangu Pass.

At dusk, Fan Kuai under Liu Bang came to report: "Brother, Hangu Pass has been breached by us, let's enter the city quickly!"

"it is good!"

Liu Bang, who was riding on the horse, slapped his ass hard, and then ordered loudly: "Immediately, the whole army goes straight to the capital of Xianyang;

Tell the brothers that there are countless treasures and beauties in Xianyang, as long as they invade Xianyang, they all belong to the brothers! "

"Hahaha, Xianyang is ours!" Fan Kui laughed loudly, and was about to deliver the order.

At this time, Xiao He hurried over with a sullen face, and shouted: "Pei Gong wait a minute!"

"Ok?"

Liu Bang was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Xiao He with some puzzlement: "What do you mean, sir?"

Xiao He cupped his hands angrily and said: "Pei Gong didn't know something, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo started a massacre in the pass, not only killed all the defenders, but even the people in the pass were slaughtered!"

"This"

Liu Bang was taken aback, and immediately looked at Fan Kui: "Is what the gentleman said true?"

"true!"

Fan Kuai admitted it bluntly, and then argued: "When we attacked the city, those Qin troops resisted desperately;

And those common people also tried their best to cooperate with them. At that time, they were so red-eyed that they didn't care so much! "

Xiao He stared, and argued with reason: "Even so, it shouldn't be massacred!"

"Sir, if you don't go to the battlefield, you don't know the blood on the battlefield. Once the blood comes up, it's easy to be impulsive!"

"What kind of blood, it's obviously the courage of a man!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Kui became angry at the time: "Xiao He, I've given you some face, but you're still out of breath? Believe it or not, I hacked you with a knife?!"

"enough!"

Liu Bang shouted violently and glared at Fan Kuai: "Don't be rude to sir!"

"Brother, he."

"I've said enough, didn't you hear? Apologize to Mr. Hurry up!"

"Brother, I."

"Do you want me to say it a second time? Huh?"

Seeing that Liu Bang's face became more and more ugly, Fan Kui felt a little apprehensive, and before he had time to hesitate, he quickly bowed his hands to Xiao He: "Mr. Xiao, Fan Kui is being reckless!"

"It's okay, I'm wrong too!"

Xiao He waved his hands generously, then turned his head to look at Liu Bang, and said seriously, "Pei Gong, the massacre of the city must never happen again!"

"Why is this?"

Liu Bang frowned, although he scolded Fan Kui for being unreasonable, he didn't think Fan Kui was wrong, so he said suspiciously: "It is true that Fan Kui's massacre of the city was inappropriate, but you have also heard that the city resisted desperately, and they killed the red Blind."

"If we encounter such a situation in the future, if we don't kill people, who will be afraid of us?"

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something, and added: "That Xiang Yu has slaughtered too many cities, why should we care about it once or twice!"

"Pei Gong is confused!"

Xiao He said angrily: "Xiang Yu slaughtered the city, and where he passed, not a single blade of grass grew. The world thought of his cruelty, and would not submit to him;

Even King Huai of Chu said that he was a tough and cunning thief, and he dared not let him enter the pass. If Pei Gong followed Xiang Yu's example, it would be doomed to fail! "

"Is it that great?"

Liu Bang said a little displeased: "Isn't it just to kill some people!"

"Killing depends on the situation!"

Zhang Liang who was on the side suddenly interjected: "Killing people who should be killed is in accordance with the law of heaven, and killing people who shouldn't be killed is going against the sky. I think Brother Xiao's words make sense!"

"Ovary also thinks it's wrong?" Liu Bang was surprised.

Compared with Xiao He's old-fashioned, Liu Bang is more willing to deal with Zhang Liang who is astute.

But I heard Zhang Liang say again: "Before, we had already slaughtered the city once in Yingyang, now that we have entered Guanzhong and slaughtered the city again, I am afraid the consequences will be even more serious;
Because Guanzhong is the hometown of the old Qin people, if Peigong slaughters the city, it will definitely arouse the old Qin people's hatred of the same enemy! "

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "Although the number of old Qin people has decreased significantly, they still have the strength to fight;
If Peigong slaughtered the city like Xiang Yu, then Peigong will definitely lose! "

"what--"

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang was taken aback, sweat dripped from his forehead slowly, he hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands to Zhang Liang and Xiao He: "What the two gentlemen said, Liu Bang is enlightened!"

"However." As he spoke, he changed the topic, and continued: "Most of Liu Bang's tents are loitering soldiers, and if they are not allowed to kill and steal money, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep them!"

"I understand what Peigong means, but to govern the army and the world, we need to start with small things. If Peigong only cares about small profits, we can let them do nothing!" Xiao He said solemnly.

"Mr. Xiao's words, it seems that Liu Bang is willing to slaughter the city, what can I do?
You say it's breaking the sky, and if others don't listen to you, is there a bird to use?Is it possible to let them all go, and I, Liu Bang, will be a bald Peigong? "

As Liu Bang spoke, he couldn't help cursing angrily: "It's so damn difficult to rule people in troubled times!"

"If the hearts of the people are united, the country can be consolidated. If the hearts of the people don't give up, sooner or later it will all be nothing!" Xiao He said coldly.

"Damn it! You Xiao He, you cursed me for nothing before I conquered the country?!"

Liu Bang was so angry by Xiao He that his face turned blue and red, and he pointed at Xiao He's nose and cursed.

Xiao He replied without fear: "I'm telling the truth. If you continue like this, you will return to Pei County sooner or later to become a bandit, and you may be killed before you return!"

"Okay, okay! You are amazing! I listen to you, don't look for me when you have nothing to eat, drink, or money, I will look for you, and everyone will follow you!"

After roaring wildly, Liu Bang left the camp angrily.

Not long after, the army entered a county town in Hangu Pass and set up camp.

Under the large torches, the whole camp was full of voices. Liu Bang walked towards the high platform with his sword in his hand, and shouted at the soldiers in the camp: "Brothers, I, Liu Ji, will naturally reward me for my meritorious deeds if I break through the Hangu Pass today. Ten gold;
As for the title, let's talk about it after the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, even if you are made a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households now, it's useless! "

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Liu Bang's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhou Bolang in the crowd echoed: "Thank you for the reward, Peigong, long live Peigong!"

"Long live the bird! What's the point of attacking the city like this today!"

As Liu Bang was speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he cursed loudly: "I, Liu Ji, and all the brothers were born and died to make them rich;

Originally, I, Liu Ji, was not a good person, and I was proficient in stealing things. Brothers and I, Liu Ji, were just the same, murdering and stealing goods, doing all kinds of evil, but why are we like this? "

"Because of Tyranny!"

"We are all common people, and this is what happens when there is no way out!"

"But who made it impossible for us to survive? Those noble officials!"

"Our enemies are the nobles and officials, not the fathers and brothers, who are common people like us;

Without the support of the common people, we are nothing. Don't look at winning battles now, but losing battles in the future?Not even a kennel to hide in! "

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Liu Bang seemed to have opened up the chatterbox, and said again in a nonchalant way: "I think back in Mangdang Mountain, I was chased all over the mountain by the Qin army, and sometimes I was so hungry that my pants were stretched, but did I ever kill a commoner?

To tell you the truth, no!not a single one! "

"What's this called? It's called Gouhu Sanjia!"

"You and I are both dogs wandering in the wild. No one will pity us. You are killing people with weapons now because you are a soldier. When you are no longer a soldier, will people kill you?"

"If you don't accumulate bad virtue today, your ancestors' graves might be dug up tomorrow!"

"Presumably you also know why I, Liu Ji, are upset, just say that this Hangu Pass, who the hell ordered the massacre of the city? Fan Kuai! Is it your son of a bitch!

You're a fucking butcher, that's killing pigs, why are you so excited about killing people!Could it be that the pig changed!Take revenge on us people? ! "

As he said that, he yelled loudly: "Come here! Take Fan Kuai down! Beat him up first, and ask him if he is possessed by a pig demon!"

"Pei Gong, please spare me! I am not a pig monster—"

Hearing Liu Bang's order, Fan Kui was stunned and begged for mercy.

However, Liu Bang ignored him at all, and directly asked the guards who had prepared in advance to drag Fan Kuai down.

In fact, there are no law enforcement officials in the army, just a few guards, holding spears, and slapping violently on the buttocks.

Amidst the whistling of sticks, Liu Bang still shouted angrily: "Hit! Kill this pig butcher!"

"Forgive me, Mr. Pei, I did not order the massacre of the city!"

"I know you didn't order the massacre of the city, it was a pig! Hit me!"

Liu Bang was furious, and the guards beat harder and harder. In less than a moment, Fan Kuai's butt blossomed and his body was covered in blood.

Seeing that Fan Kui could no longer hold on and fainted silently, all the soldiers were horrified and knelt down and cried, "Pei Gong, please, please spare General Fan Kui! I will be punished willingly!"

At this moment, Zhou Bo also took off his armor, shirtless and said: "Pei Gong, I attacked the city with Fan Kui, and I will be punished as well!"

"Pei Gong, Cao Shen is not strict in governing the army, and I am willing to take the blame together with the two generals!" Cao Shen echoed enthusiastically.

Liu Bang glanced at him, ignored him, and directly said to the soldiers: "Get up, listen to me!"

"."

All the soldiers looked at each other and stood up one after another.

Liu Bang looked around and said solemnly: "Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu must be destroyed. Our Chu army's destruction of Qin is actually in accordance with God's will. Those who succeed will be rich and honored, and those who fail will suffer.

What is a loser?Lawless people!

We are all vulgar savages, and we don't understand poetry and etiquette, but we are all people who can listen to people's words, so I, Liu Ji, made three agreements with you brothers: don't slaughter cities, don't kill and surrender, don't rape and plunder;
Anyone who violates the law will be killed without mercy!Did you hear it all?have you understood? ! "

"I heard it! I understand it!"

The audience roared.

Liu Bang was very relieved, and immediately said: "Since the soldiers have heard it and understood it, then Liu Ji has something to say, that is, there are meritorious rewards and demerit punishments;
From now on, anyone who makes military exploits will be rewarded generously by me, Liu Ji!Of course, if there is any injustice, you can also come to me Liu Ji! "

"We, Liu Jipi, don't have any skills, so we just want to make a fortune for our brothers and strive to be a master!"

"Long live Peigong! Long live Peigong!"

There are few records in history about Liu Bang's massacre of the city. There is no lack of Sima Qian's cover for Han Gaozu, but from a historical point of view, it seems inevitable that Liu Bang will win the world.

Because those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Zhang Liang in the distance looked at Liu Bang who was submerged in the sound waves, and sighed endlessly.

Once upon a time, he only regarded Liu Bang as a pawn to complete the task. Now it seems that Zhao Kun asked him to find Liu Bang not just to test his ability, but because he felt that Liu Bang would definitely do something.

Because of this, he felt Zhao Kun's terror even more.

It seemed that everything was within Zhao Kun's expectation.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Liang couldn't help muttering to himself: "Li An Jun, Li An Jun, who are you! Why can't even my master Huang Shigong see through you! Could it be that you are really the variable?"

When Liu Bang finished cleaning up the army and continued to march towards Guanzhong, Xianyang on the other side had a different scene.

At this time, in the Xianyang Imperial Palace, an internal eunuch hurriedly shuttled between the palaces, his eyes slightly terrified.

After walking for a while, the inner eunuch came to the door of the study where Yingzheng used to work, wiped his sweat, and looked at the situation inside.

In the past, Yingzheng worked in the study, and no one was allowed to approach easily. Except for Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Zhao Gao and others who were prime ministers at the time, no one could step into the study.

But now, this place is no longer the emperor's office study.

Since Hu Hai ascended the throne, Li Si took control of the country at first, and then Zhao Gao monopolized it. Hu Hai had no idea of ​​the current situation of Great Qin.

Last year, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, wars broke out everywhere in Hebei, Zhao Gao just said that a few small thieves were tossing about, and it was nothing to worry about.

Later, the whole of Hebei, including the land of Qilu, and the Jiangdong area fell, and according to Zhao Gao, it was nothing more than a few mob riots.

As for Zhang Han's enlistment of the prisoner army to leave the customs, it was also carried out under Zhao Gao's deliberate concealment.

From the beginning to the end, Hu Hai has been kept in the dark by Zhao Gao, he only knows to have fun, sensuality, and play in the harem with peace of mind.

And this study that originally belonged to the Great Qin Emperor also became Zhao Gao's study.

The eunuch looked around outside the study, confirmed that there was someone inside, then straightened his robes, lightly knocked on the porter, and said in a low voice: "Report to Prime Minister Zhong, I have something important to report!"

crunch--

As soon as his words fell, the two doors of the study room slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, the inner eunuch lowered his head and walked cautiously into the study step by step.

In the huge study room, Zhao Gao sat behind the desk belonging to Ying Zheng, reviewing the memorial with a solemn expression.

If it weren't for the difference in the robes he was wearing, Zhao Gao at this moment might be regarded as the emperor of Great Qin.

I have to say, what an ironic fact.

An eunuch turned out to be the actual controller of an empire.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Gao stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the inner prison, and then asked a faint question,
The tone of voice seemed to be deliberately imitating Ying Zheng.

However, even though Zhao Gao is so powerful today, sitting in Yingzheng's seat, he still lacks momentum.

It can be said that his imitation is completely parrot.

But even so, no one dared to laugh at him, or even have the courage to talk to him.

"Qi Qi reported to the prime minister that it's not good. Something happened to Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass."

The eunuch faltered and couldn't speak.

Zhao Gao said impatiently, "What happened to Hangu Pass?"

"Hangu Pass is broken!"

"what!?"

Hearing the inner prisoner's words, Zhao Gao shuddered all over, and quickly stood up from his seat, staring at the inner prisoner.

"Prime Minister, Hangu Pass has been breached. Hangu Pass was breached by Liu Bang's Chu army. At this time, 20 Chu troops are attacking Xianyang!"

After the inner eunuch said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his legs went limp, and he went limp.

However, Zhao Gao still couldn't believe it, he rushed to the inner eunuch in a hurry, grabbed his collar, and asked, "What did you say, say it again, are you sure the Hangu pass has been broken?"

"It is true that Hangu Pass has been breached."

The inner supervisor nodded weakly.

hum-

Hearing the eunuch's affirmative answer, Zhao Gaoru was struck by lightning, his head buzzing.

How can it be!

How could Hangu Pass be broken!

Why is this happening?

Isn't Daqin the same Daqin as before?

Why was the Qin army invincible when Yingzheng was in power, but defeated when he was in charge?
What the hell went wrong!
"Zhang Han! Where's Zhang Han! Didn't he wipe out the rebel army? How did the rebel army attack Guanzhong!"

Zhao Gao suddenly came back to his senses, shouting hoarsely.

The inner eunuch who was limp on the ground wiped the sweat from his forehead bitterly, and replied cautiously; "Prime Minister, Zhang Han has already been defeated. Zhang Ping led an army of 20 prisoners to surrender to the Chu army!"

"Xiang Yu killed Zhang Ping's 20 prisoners in the south of Xin'an City, and Sima Xin and Dong Yi became generals of the Chu State!"

"what--!"

Hearing what the inner prisoner said, Zhao Gaohun almost flew away in fright, thinking why Xiang Yu was so cruel, and killed 20 people in one go.

Is such a person still human?

If such a person breaks into Guanzhong and the imperial city of Xianyang, will he still have a way out?
How should I deal with such a person?

At this moment, Zhao Gao felt that he was driven to a dead end, and he was almost out of breath!
　Thank you Fengyu Wufei for the 1500 rewards.
