Qiang Qin

Three days later, the imperial decree had been passed to Hangu Pass, and at the same time, half of the army defending Xianyang had been mobilized. In addition to the soldiers recruited from various places, this time the number of Zhang Han who was going to support the attack on Chu reached 20.Adding up to 20 horses before and after, for today's Qin, almost all the soldiers that can be used have been used.Compared with the Chu people, the only difference is that these 20 horses are all sergeants, and they have all gone to the battlefield with weapons, while many of the Chu people's [-] people are ordinary people.

As soon as the day was bright, Hu Hai came to Xianyang's Meridian Gate in person, standing in front of tens of thousands of horses, Hu Hai said: "The only purpose of your going to Chu this time is to wipe out all those rebellious officials and thieves. As long as you If you can destroy Chu and come back, I will definitely not treat you badly, and when the time comes, you will be rewarded according to your merits, and everyone will become an official of our Great Qin and get the treasures of Chu." His words attracted cheers from all the soldiers, and now they His morale was very high, and he only thought that he could go to Chudi immediately and take down General Jijun.

Tens of thousands of horses slowly left Xianyang City under the watchful eyes of Hu Hai, and Hu Hai also walked towards the palace under the protection of a group of guards.Although Xianyang's defensive strength is now the weakest since he ascended the throne, he believes that Ziying's ability will surely make Xianyang City as stable as Mount Tai, and now their enemies are only Chu and Qi, and Fusu has already negotiated peace. So he was not worried that Xianyang City would be attacked.

In Zhao Gao's mansion, thousands of diners were standing in the yard, the weapons in their hands were all newly made, gleaming coldly in the sun, and their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.They are all desperadoes that Zhao Gao has recruited from all over the country over the years. They either carry their lives behind their backs, or they are wanted criminals in a certain place. As long as their identities are known, they will all be sentenced to death. But Zhao Gao kept them in the mansion to raise them.These people have been recruited since Zhao Gao gained a certain amount of power. At that time, he was afraid that Yingzheng would suspect him, so he kept an armed force in the mansion.Although he had seen Lu Buwei's three thousand diners wiped out overnight by Qin Dajun, he still believed that these desperadoes could help him at critical times.Afterwards, they were used to prevent him from being disadvantaged once Fusu ascended the throne, but in those years, Zhao Gao could be said to be smooth sailing, and everything developed as he expected, so these desperadoes were useless.Afterwards, Hu Hai obeyed him even more, and these people were even more useless.The relationship between Zhu De and Hu Hai deteriorated, and Zhang Han led soldiers to guard Xianyang. Zhao Gao also knew that these people were inferior to the regular army in Taiyuan, so he never dared to use them.To this day, almost all the troops defending Xianyang have been transferred away, and the remaining ones are all under his control. It is only when the hundreds of guards in the palace are hindering that he is ready to use these thousands of people.

Zhao Gao scanned the audience and said: "I have been supporting you for many years, and I have never asked you to do anything, but today is the time for you to repay me. Just go to the palace and kill that stupid lord Hu Hai, You are all the founding heroes of the new emperor, and when the time comes, not only can you restore your original identities, but you can also be named officials, are you willing to take this risk with me and get a lifetime of glory and wealth?"

"I'm willing to follow Mr. Zhao into the palace. Tell me, Mr. When are we going to leave?" said one of the leaders named Liu Tu.He was just a butcher back then, but because he fell in love with a local married woman, he killed her husband and the whole family, which can be said to be cruel.

"At the beginning of the evening, I will enter the palace under the pretext of military affairs. After I lead a few people in, you will get rid of those guards, then open the palace gate, and follow me in." Zhao Gao said.Over the years, he has already planned the strategy of how to get into the palace very clearly, he just needs to practice it.

The desperadoes saw that Zhao Gao had already made up their minds, and they had even more confidence in him.

The time had already changed, and the city of Xianyang fell into silence.Since Qin Shihuang, there has been a curfew in Xianyang City, and now the world is even more chaotic, so the curfew is stricter. Anyone who comes to the streets at night will be punished as a crime of treason and executed on the spot.So now there is no one in the city except for the occasional few patrolling soldiers.

The door of Zhao Gao's mansion was suddenly opened, and a carriage carried Zhao Gao towards the palace, accompanied by nearly a hundred guards, this was a familiar situation for soldiers patrolling the streets, they didn't even go up After asking some questions, he stood aside and let the carriage leave.At the same time, hundreds to thousands of people also came out from the back door and side door of the Zhao Mansion, and went straight to the palace. The soldiers along the way had obviously received their orders, and they ignored this and let them leave.

There used to be thousands of guards in the palace on duty at night, but now because nearly half of the centaurs in the city were transferred to Chudi, there were only less than 300 guards left, and the guards were still taking turns, with only a hundred people in each shift.It was the turn of spring and summer, and people couldn't cheer up during the day, let alone at night, the few guards at the palace gate were also stunned.Suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from a distance, one of them gave a hand to the soldier beside him and said, "Go and see, who came to the palace in the middle of the night." The soldier grumbled reluctantly and walked out Go, and then saw Zhao Gao's famous carriage, hurried back and said, "It's Prime Minister Zhao's carriage." Na Shichang nodded, and said indifferently: "Then open the palace gate, Mr. Zhao must have something important to enter the palace to discuss with the emperor. The soldiers behind immediately walked in, and passed a word to the soldiers inside the door. After a while, the palace door opened a small gap that only one person can enter and exit. Zhao Gao went in.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Gao's carriage arrived. The soldiers on both sides of the door hurriedly saluted, and then waited for Zhao Gao to get off the carriage and enter the palace.Unexpectedly, it was not Zhao Gao who was waiting, but a man dressed as a bodyguard. He came up to them and said, "The prime minister has something urgent to go to the palace, but he is sick and can't breathe, so I will trouble you to beat the door down." Make it bigger so this car can fit in."

Several soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never encountered such a situation before, so it was difficult to agree for a while.Na Shichang hurriedly stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "General, it's not up to the few of us to have the final say, and let the little one go in and talk to the gatekeeper to see if the emperor allows it." Then he turned around and was about to enter the door Go and ask.

The moment he turned around and just blocked the sight of several other soldiers, several guards suddenly jumped out from behind the carriage. A cold light flashed in their hands, and the soldiers fell to the ground with their throats slit before they even knew what was going on.

Then the carriage continued to move forward, and those people quickly dragged the body aside after killing someone, and opened the palace door again.The guards inside suddenly saw the palace gate open, walked to the gate unconsciously and asked, "What's the matter? Don't you know the rules?"

A vague voice replied: "Master Zhao is ill and cannot get out of the carriage, that's why we opened the palace door and let him in."

The defenders inside just thought it was someone from the outside who opened the door on their own initiative, and they didn't have any suspicions. They just said: "If the emperor blames it, you are the ones who caused this disaster, and you have to bear the punishment." He didn't dare to offend Zhao Gao, so I just want to choose myself out.But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few figures jumping in front of himself and a group of soldiers, and then he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and then he lost consciousness.

After neatly killing the dozen or so soldiers guarding the gate, one of them took out a torch from his pocket, lit it and waved it three times in front of the gate, and immediately thousands of people ambushed there came in.Zhao Gao's voice came out from the car: "Leave 500 people to guard the gate of this palace. The others follow me in, but if they see anyone, they will be killed by me!" Kill them, those soldiers who watch the night are often killed by these people before they can scream.

Zhao Gao was also familiar with the road and led the group to Hu Hai's bedroom, not one of the maids and servants was left along the way.In a short while, the entire palace has been killed and turned into a bloody field.

At this time, Hu Hai was finishing playing with some beauties, and was thinking about going to bed, when suddenly there was the faint sound of a wheel, Hu Hai was startled, and hurriedly got up from the couch, put on only a long robe and sat next to a servant. Accompanied, he came out and asked loudly: "What kind of person is looking for death in the middle of the night to disturb my clear dream?"

Several guards guarding the side of the bedroom also ran over, drew out their waist knives, and strode up to take a closer look.

"Fire!" With an order, a row of torches suddenly lit up around the carriage, which allowed the guards to see the scene in front of them.They saw a carriage parked not far in front of them, but what shocked them was the silent thousands of people around the carriage. If there were no torches shining on them, they would never have noticed that there were thousands of people here .

Zhao Gao just got out of the car at this time, and smiled at Hu Hai: "Emperor, do you see these people under Lao Nu's eye?"

"Zhao Gao, you... What did you bring so many people into the palace at night... Why?" Hu Hai had already vaguely guessed Zhao Gao's purpose in his heart, but he still asked, but his tone was not powerful.

"Hu Hai. You really think of yourself as the emperor. Back then, you were protected by Zhang Han and others, and there was nothing I could do about you, but now it's different. Now the entire city of Xianyang has fallen to me. In the hands of the master, today I will change the master of the world. If you are sensible, kill yourself, and save me from the reputation of killing the master, otherwise don’t blame them for doing something to you.”

When Hu Hai heard that he was really going to kill himself, his face turned pale. He saw that there were only a dozen guards around him, while there were thousands of people on the other side, and he knew that he would not survive.
