And Yan Yan, who had just arrived at Lishi Fortress, also received the news of Cheng Xi's rebellion. He shook his head helplessly. Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi, was of noble birth. He could obviously become the next Chu Li Xun and Ying Hua, but he chose the last choice. A path that cannot be chosen.

Even if Cheng Xi did not come out like this, if Ying Zheng died in the future and Cheng Xi took office in Xianyang, Zhao Gao and Li Si might not dare to correct the edict.

In the struggle for power, the brothers are the least trusted, but the clan is actually the most trustworthy.

"Do you think Cheng Xi was behind the Cheng Xi rebellion?" Yan Lingji asked curiously.

Yan Yan shook his head. Cheng Yu was too young to think of such a thing. Moreover, the fact that Ying Zheng was able to return to Xianyang alive and safely proved that this matter was a spur-of-the-moment idea rather than a long-term plan.

If Cheng Yu really wanted to seize power, he wouldn't have planned it like this.

If he wanted to rebel and compete for power, he would never choose this time.

Even at this time, he will definitely communicate with Lord Changwen and Lord Changping in advance, take control of Hangu Pass, and keep Yingzheng out of Xianyang.

"It feels like this is just trying to catch a duck!" Mo Ya suddenly said.

"Oh?" Yan Yan was a little surprised and wanted to hear Mo Ya's thoughts, "Tell me what you think!"

"Cheng Xiu conspired to rebel. The right time, place and people did not give him any advantage. Therefore, according to my understanding of those weird tricks, the people behind this are probably using death as a threat to force Cheng Xiu to rebel." Mo Ya said.

"Continue!" Yan Yan nodded and signaled Mo Ya to continue.

"First of all, we all know that Cheng Ao led his army this time to support Meng Ao. In other words, he came to gild. He only needs to contain Handan's army and wait for Meng Ao to conquer Wangdu and move Zhao from north to south. Separation is a great achievement.”

Yan Yan nodded. This was what Ying Zheng told him and what the Qin clan thought.

"So, it's impossible that Cheng Yu himself doesn't know, but why does he still want to rebel?" Mo Ya asked in return.

Yan Lingji and others all began to think deeply, yes, they came to gain military merit and gilding, why would they want to rebel? For royal power?

Any fool knows that if the Qin State dares to send such a large army, it must have the ability to protect itself. Rebellion at this time is tantamount to seeking death.

"Secondly, Cheng Xi has not yet reached the crown. Even if his rebellion is successful, he cannot personally govern, and the court is still in the hands of others. So what does he want?" Mo Ya continued to ask.

Yan Yan also nodded in approval. He had never thought about this, but now that he heard what Mo Ya said, it seemed that it was indeed the case.

Cheng Yu was only seventeen years old, and he was not old enough to take charge of the court. Even if the rebellion was successful, the court would be controlled by other Qin courtiers, and the most likely ones would be Lord Changwen and Lord Changping.

But if it was really Chang Wenjun and Changping Jun who were behind all this, it would be impossible for Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei to return to Xianyang alive.

The armies and courtiers controlled by the Chu clan of Qin State would also jump out to respond immediately, instead of letting Cheng Xiu fight alone and watch everywhere.

"So, my idea is that someone used death as a threat to force Cheng Xi to rebel. All I can think of is that someone told Cheng Xi that he didn't come out to get gold this time, but because Qin Wangzheng was worried about it. My position is unstable, so I sent him to the front line deliberately." Mo Ya guessed, but unexpectedly, his guess was close to the truth.

"Then who do you think it will be?" Yan Yan continued to ask.

"You may think that it will be the intermediary of Zhao State or the intermediary of Chu State, but I don't think it is!" Mo Ya continued.

Yan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He really thought so. After all, Zhao State could not defeat Qin State now, and it would be most beneficial to Zhao State if Cheng Yu could rebel.

"continue!"

"If there's anything to guess, just check it out. Before Cheng Xi's rebellion, someone who shouldn't have appeared in the Qin army's camp appeared. That person is undoubtedly that person!" Bai Feng curled his lips.

The person who can stay with Cheng Yu is naturally the most trusted person by the Qin clan, and will also be the next generation of generals that Qin wants to train. Naturally, it is impossible for him to rebel.

Therefore, there will be no problems with those who follow Cheng Xi. The only problems are those who show up when they shouldn't.

"That's good, then I'll leave this matter to you to investigate!" Yan Yan smiled.

Bai Feng was stunned and looked at Yan Yan in shock.

"This is Qin's own business. Why should we investigate?" Bai Feng asked speechlessly.

"How can you think that if the other party can do something to the Qin State, won't they do something to us in the future?" Yan Yan asked with a smile.

Bai Feng thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was the case, so he nodded and disappeared into the convoy.

"Lord, is there anyone who you suspect?" Mo Ya was much calmer than Bai Feng. After Bai Feng left, he looked at Yan Yan and asked.

"After you reminded me, I thought of someone, but I'm not sure!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Who?" Mo Ya became even more curious. He could analyze so much, but he didn't have any suspicion. "Prince Yan Dan!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"Yan Dan?" Mo Ya and others were stunned.

What does Cheng Xi's rebellion have to do with Yan Dan? Regardless of Cheng Xi's success or not, Yan Dan won't get any benefits, right?

"Actually, many times, this is the hardest thing to guess!" Yan Yan said with a smile. Many times, many things do not necessarily require benefits to be done.

Sometimes it may be just because the other person is unhappy, and then they do it.

Judging from the haste and haphazardness of Cheng Xi's rebellion, it is obvious that there was no careful plan behind it. It was just that someone simply didn't want Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei to have an easy time.

Otherwise, Cheng Xi's rebellion wouldn't have had such a hasty start.

Whether it is the Qin State and the Chu Clan behind it, or those from other countries, it will definitely be carefully planned, at least it looks like Chenglong has a slight chance of winning, instead of like now, when the proclamation is issued and the rebellion is done, but However, he left the army in Tunliu and did not lead the army to counterattack Xianyang or retreat.

A normal rebellion would be to lead the army directly back to Xianyang after issuing a proclamation.

Therefore, Yan Yan's guess was that Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi both had a sudden idea and rebelled against each other. However, after the incident, they found out that not a single Jing Cong follower was there, and he also woke up and became unable to get off the tiger. Don't know what to do!

Fan Yuqi actually thought about letting Cheng Yu lead his army back to Xianyang, but he thought that after he asked Cheng Yu to issue a proclamation, there would be people in Qin's territory. Even if there were no people, foreign countries would support them.

But no, not one. Everyone was watching, waiting to see the excitement.

Then Fan Yuqi's mind came to his senses. This was not how the rebellion was created. They had no plan and no allies.

Even the army was confused. All the generals and generals did not know what they had done. They were all nobles of the Qin State. When they came out, they all said they were here for gilding, but no one told them that they were coming out. Treasonous.

Therefore, even if Fan Yuqi wanted to lead his army back to Xianyang, no one agreed and he could not command these people.

They are all waiting, waiting for the summons from their families to tell them what they should do, whether it is their family's wishes or simply Chang'an Lord's own wishes!

So the rebellion was a rebellion, but the army still stayed in Tunliu, waiting for intelligence from all sides and responses from all sides.

Therefore, they failed to wait for an ally, but missed the best opportunity to rush back to Xianyang.

If they had withdrawn from Tunliu to Hangu Pass at the first moment of the outbreak, the generals guarding Hangu Pass would have maintained a wait-and-see attitude and let them enter the pass, allowing them to lead their troops back to Xianyang. Maybe they might succeed.

However, this opportunity was missed by Fan Yuqi and others!

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei returned to Xianyang and mobilized an army to suppress the rebellion!

Therefore, those who were waiting and watching did not dare to stop the army from going out to quell the rebellion.

To be precise, at the beginning, almost all the generals and commanders were watching, not helping each other, first come first served.

They will not stop Wang Jian from leading his army out of the customs, nor will they stop Cheng Yu from leading his army back to Xianyang. They will just wait to see who can pass the customs first.

It's just that the actions of Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi have already let those generals know that Cheng Yu and Fan Yuqi should wait to die!

Yang Duanhe was also a little helpless. Compared to Qin Wangzheng, he actually had a closer relationship with Cheng Xi. He was regarded as a guest in Cheng Xi's mansion. If Cheng Xi had told him before plotting a rebellion, not to mention raising troops to respond, at least he would have done it. Being able to make suggestions is much better than being isolated and helpless now.

Yang Duanhe also couldn't figure it out. Just listen to the fact that King Qin Zheng was not the former king's biological son. Would anyone really believe it?

The similarity in appearance between the current king and King Wu is not just something that can be said by one or two people.

What's more, can the blood of the clan's children be messed with?

Do you really think that the late king didn't check these things when he came back from Qin?

Therefore, Yang Duanhe can only say, where is the brain!

"I heard that the general and Cheng Yu are old acquaintances?" Wang Jian asked, looking at Yang Duanhe who was wandering around.

Yang Duanhe sighed. His acquaintance with Cheng Yu was not a secret in Xianyang, and there was nothing to hide, but Yang Duanhe did not deserve his reputation as an evergreen general of the Qin State.

"The general wants me to persuade Lord Chang'an to surrender?" Yang Duanhe never talked about whether he would collude with Cheng Yu, but directly stated his position.

Wang Jian looked at Yang Duanhe, his expression unchanged, but he recognized it a little bit in his heart, and his eyes confirmed that he was as steady a person as himself!

"General, are you sure?" Wang Jian asked with a smile.

"You can try, but the possibility of success is unlikely!" Yang Duanhe also understood that Wang Jian no longer doubted himself, and he breathed a sigh of relief and continued the topic.

"This battle is not going to be easy!" Wang Jian sighed and looked at his colleagues present.

Why did Ying Zheng choose him as the main general among so many generals? Isn't it because he is stable enough? It also means that the rebellion must be put down, but Cheng Xi must also live.

If you really want to die like a dragon, Meng Ao and Wang Jue will be the main generals!

Therefore, Wang Jian also had a headache, and many methods could not be used!
