Qiang Qin

Chapter 153 Assassin Zhao

Updated: 2010-09-22

This time he sent troops to attack Xianyang, Fusu was more cautious than the previous times, because his goal this time was to gain the world of Great Qin, so he only wanted stability, not speed, although it only took him a few days to take down the Shangdang City , but it took more than ten days to appease the people.Just because Fusu knew that even if Qin Ting knew that he would bring troops here, there would be no way to deal with him. More than half of Daqin's soldiers had already been taken to Chu by Zhang Han, and the rest of them were no match for him in terms of numbers and elites. As for Zhang Han Fusu in Chu, he decided that he could not lead the army back so easily, so he simply appeased the people of Shangdang before launching an attack on the next city.

After several days of continuous efforts, Fusu has brought all the people in the city back to their hearts. He opened the official storehouse to help the poor, released those who were falsely accused from prison, and lowered the tax. The people recognized him as Lord.Fusu clearly knows the value of people's hearts, so he never dares to be sloppy when doing these things.Today, he was watching the information collected from the people in the main hall of the prefect's mansion in Shangdang City.Fusu sent soldiers disguised as ordinary people to walk among the people to find out what the people thought of him.With the continuous implementation of his measures for the people, his reputation among the people is getting better and better. The information he sees now is the people's desire to be their master.Looking at the peaceful scene everywhere, Fusu knew that Shangdang County had been completely subdued by him. Even if he was defeated in attacking Xianyang in the future, the people who retreated here would support him.

So Fusu recruited Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others, and said to them: "Now that the Shangdang has completely surrendered to us, it is time for us to go further and use troops against Hedong County. Is there a way to take down Hedong at a price?"

Zhang Liangdao: "Prince, in fact, it is feasible to use your method of taking down the Shangdang. There is a saying in the art of war: go up to attack the enemy, secondly attack the enemy, and then attack again. As long as we can defeat the enemy without fighting, it is our greatest success." .Since the Shangdang will capitulate and surrender because of the prince's letters, the Hedong County will naturally be unavoidable."

"Mr. Zhang is quite right. Since Shangdang was originally the place where the Zhao people belonged, a few letters and more troops could force him to surrender in Kaesong. However, Hedong was originally the hometown of Wei State. This method is still feasible. You can give it a try." Han Xin agreed.

Fu Su smiled and said: "Since you all said so, then I will give it a try, and let people send letters into the city, and at the same time let General Meng lead troops to coerce them. Once they refuse to surrender, they will definitely feel guilty." I will fight timidly, and when the time comes, General Meng Hui's army will surely be able to capture Hedong with the least loss." Fusu said as he bowed his hands to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian also hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The last general will not disappoint the prince, and I will definitely take this Hedong County in a short time."

In this way, 3 people and the envoy who recruited the Hedong Taishou to surrender set off from Shangdang at the same time, while Fusu continued to stay in Shangdang City to win the hearts of the people and work hard for himself to have a solid rear.

The governor of Hedong hasn't had a good night's sleep since he heard that Shangdang surrendered to Fusu. He has ordered people to return to Xianyang for help, and at the same time ordered all the soldiers to guard against the city day and night.This was not enough, he also posted a notice telling the people in the city, but those who arbitrarily said that they would open the city and surrender would be punished as treason.Just when he was ready to wait for reinforcements to arrive, he waited for 3 horses led by Meng Tian.At this time, Liu Hen, the governor of Hedong, was patrolling the city. He suddenly heard the report that tens of thousands of horses were coming from outside the city. He immediately led his people to the city to check. Just as he saw Meng Tian pressing the army against the city wall, he dispatched a loud voice. The soldiers shouted loudly to the city: "Listen, people in the city, as long as you open the city and surrender, my general will guarantee the safety of the whole city. If not, once our army attacks the city, it will be destroyed!"

Then a scribe walked out, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and called in: "I am the envoy of Prince Fusu, please let the prefect open the door for me to enter the city, here is a letter from the prince to your lord."

The eunuch looked at the 3 horses showing off their might outside the city, and at the soldiers in the city who were already trembling with fright and had no fighting spirit. He knew that if the opponent really attacked the city, it would probably be destroyed immediately.Knowing that the situation in front of him no longer allowed him to hesitate, the prefect ordered to open the city gate to let the messenger in.

This emissary is many skilled people that Zhang Liang recruited for Fusu. He is best at eloquence, but after entering the city this time, he does not need his strength at all, because after reading Fusu's writing about After Ziying and Zhao Gao conspired against each other, the governor of Hedong finally gave up defending the city and opened the city gate to let Meng Tian and 3 horses in.The reason why the prefect made this change was because he was frightened by the tens of thousands of troops, and he also knew that there were too many people in the city who did not want to defend the city. If he insisted on going his own way, he might have been killed before Meng Tian led the army in The subordinate officials assassinated.Hedong County was also occupied by the Fusu army without a single soldier, and the news quickly spread to Xianyang City.

After receiving the request for help from Hedong, Ziying was also very conflicted. He didn't know whether he should send someone to help Hedong.It's just because there are less than 2 horses left around him now, and they still have to defend Xianyang. Once this man is sent, there will be no one to suppress Xianyang City, and he may be plotted against by someone with a heart.At the same time, he didn't think that only 2 people could compete with Fusu's current elite soldiers, so in the end Ziying decided not to send troops to assist Hedong.

But not long after, the news of the fall of Hedong came back. At the same time, the news arrived that Shangdang County had been completely controlled by Fusu, that is, the original sergeants trusted Fusu very much.Only when Ziying heard the news did he know that Fusu had made a decision this time and acted before he acted, and he was bound to win. "Now that Zhang Han is in Chu with all the elite of my Great Qin, we can no longer stop Fusu's army. If he takes down a few more cities, Xianyang will be really dangerous. No, I have to find a way out. Let Fusu have no excuse to send troops to attack me." Ziying walked back and forth in the harem, thinking of ways in his mind.Suddenly he stopped in his tracks, and ordered people to say: "Go and get me to take a look at the proclamation that Fusu sent in to crusade us." Not long after, the servant brought the proclamation that Fusu secretly spread in front of Ziying.

After Ziying read the full text, he already had an idea in his mind: "Look at this essay, it is about me and Zhao Gao joining hands to murder Hu Hai, so Fusu sent troops to attack under the pretext of sending troops. If I get rid of Zhao Gao, I will send an order Tell the world that Hu Hai's death was all because of Zhao Gao, and I will kill Zhao Gao to comfort Hu Hai's spirit in the sky. I think Fu Su will not find a reason to send troops by then. Moreover, Fu Su is not too attached to the throne, I think If Zhao Gao's head is given to him, he will certainly be wronged and retreat."

Now that the idea has been made, Ziying didn't delay any longer, and quickly started to arrange it in the palace.He knew that if he called the guards guarding the palace gate, Zhao Gao's eyesight would definitely notice it, and only by finding some trustworthy people among the servants and maids to ambush Zhao Gao, would he be able to hit him with a single hit.So Ziying found dozens of servants he could trust in the palace, ordered them to lie in ambush in his bedroom, and ordered them to rush out and kill the minister who was talking to him if they saw him toasting and falling. .At the same time, he himself was wearing soft armor, with a dagger hidden in his arms, and then ordered someone to find Zhao Gao, saying that he had something important to discuss.After everything was arranged properly, Ziying waited for Zhao Gao's arrival in the bedroom.

He felt unconcealable nervousness in his heart. This time was different from the last time he killed Hu Hai. The last time they killed Hu Hai, they did it after they had completely controlled the situation, and all the details were arranged by Zhao Gao. That's it.But this time Ziying acted alone, and Zhao Gaoda was still powerful in Xianyang City, if he couldn't kill Zhao Gao in one fell swoop, once he escaped, he would be in danger.But when he thought of the upcoming arrival of the Fusu army, Ziying couldn't care about that much anymore, and the victory or defeat was decided in one fell swoop.After he drank a few cups of wine, his flustered heart slowly calmed down, and he said silently to the dead Hu Hai: "Hu Hai, you were too timid to attack Zhao Gao that day, because you were afraid that his subordinates would make trouble after he died. In fact, as the saying goes, the year does not fly, and the head of the beast does not leave. Without him as the leader, Zhao Gao, his subordinates are just a rabble of people who killed him for a year. Let you see how I got rid of him." On the one hand, he cheered himself up by mocking Hu Hai, but on the other hand, he was nervously staring at the palace gate to see when Zhao Gao would appear.

After receiving Ziying's order, Zhao Gao came to Xianyang Palace with his guards.Going to the same place in the same night, Zhao Gao unconsciously had a doubt in his heart.So when the carriage was leaving the gate, he whispered a few words in the ear of the guard who was waiting outside the carriage, and the man turned around and left for the back house.Not long after Zhao Gao left his mansion, a dark figure jumped out of Zhao Gao's mansion. He was tall and thin, with a five-foot-long sword hanging from his back, heading towards the palace.

After handing over the badge and verifying his identity, Zhao Gao got out of the car and entered the palace under the protection of several personal guards, while more than 100 other guards stayed outside the palace.As Zhao Gao traveled all the way, he felt even more uneasy, because the guards along the way seemed to be unfamiliar to him, and the servants in the palace had many new faces, which made him more vigilant.

Although the imperial palace is big, there are times when Zhao Gao went to the sleeping palace. Under Zhao Gao's uneasy situation, he had already come outside the sleeping palace. Although he had doubts in his heart, he couldn't bring the guards into the emperor's sleeping palace, so he said something outside: " Minister Zhao Gao was ordered to meet you." Then he opened the palace door and walked in.

At the same time, a black shadow sneaked into the bedroom avoiding the guards' eyes.
