Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 176 Entering the Three Counties ([-])

After leaving the prime minister's mansion, Zhao Gao got into the carriage.Opening the curtain and looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he whispered, "Li Si! Li Si! It's not that I'm ruthless, but you are in my way! If you are sensible, I will at least leave you with a little blood. If you don't, Then none of your descendants, Li Si, will have a chance to stay in this world!"

"Go to the palace and meet the emperor!" Zhao Gao put down the curtain, and ordered the Centurion of the imperial army who was driving the carriage.

"Here!" The centurion responded, and the carriage was escorted by more than a hundred knights to the palace.

At this time, Hu Hai was in the beauty pageant in the palace. First, he watched the beauties in the palace in groups.But because there are too many beauties, Hu Hai is a little aesthetically fatigued.Soon, officials were ordered to choose those beauties with small feet, and then come closer for them to admire.

As soon as this method came out, many beauties were eliminated.The eunuch who served Hu Hai continued to give Hu Hai new ways to play according to Zhao Gao's instructions so that he could better enjoy the fun of being an emperor.

"Minister Zhao Gao, I have met Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao bowed his hands immediately after entering the palace.

"Teacher is here, take a look!" Seeing Zhao Gao coming, Hu Hai pointed at the beautiful woman in front of him like a child.His eyes were shining brightly, and he said happily: "These are the most beautiful women in the palace that I have selected these days! And they are all slim waists and feet, with excellent figures. Can they be in the eyes of the Tai Tuo?"

"The beauties chosen by His Majesty are naturally the best!" Zhao Gao replied knowingly.

"Hahaha! I knew I had a good vision!" After hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

Zhao Gao knew that the opportunity had come, so he reported, "Your Majesty! There have been a lot of gossip in the city recently, all about the large number of rioters in Chenjun, Dangjun and other places. These rioters have captured many cities and raised the anti-Qin banner Prepare to re-establish Chu State!"

"What!" Hu Hai, who was very happy just now, stood up in shock.

Seeing Hu Hai's behavior like this, Zhao Gao immediately cupped his hands and said, "But after investigation, I found that only a small group of rioters were making trouble. Relying on the troops of Dang Jun and Chen Jun are enough to suppress them, and also found out a terrible news !"

"What kind of news can make the Tai Tuo feel terrible?" Hu Hai was also a little scared. In his heart, Zhao Gao was never afraid of anything.This is also the image that Zhao Gao established for Hu Hai when he was a child, but now he is very curious to hear Zhao Gao use the word "shocking" to describe a piece of news.

"I don't dare to say it!" Zhao Gao waved his hand and refused with some embarrassment.

"I ordered you to say it! And I forgive you for your innocence!" Hu Hai waved his hand and said immediately.

"Your Majesty! What I found out is that it is Prime Minister Li Si who is spreading rumors in the city!" Zhao Gao said immediately, cupping his hands

"Why did the prime minister want to spread such news?" Hu Hai asked with a puzzled look on his face, touching his newly grown beard.

"This minister doesn't know either!" Zhao Gao cupped his hands to answer, and then said: "But the prime minister invites the minister to visit the mansion today, and wants the minister to enter the palace to meet the saint tomorrow. By the way, let's talk about the riots in Chen County!"

"Teacher! You said the prime minister spread rumors, and then why did you want to see me again?" Hu Hai asked even more confused.

"It must be that the prime minister wants his eldest son Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, to lead the army!" Zhao Gao replied thoughtfully.

"Oh!?" Hu Hai was surprised when he heard that.

"Your Majesty doesn't know! Li You, Wang Li, the partial general of the Northern Legion, and Xiang Yu, the commander of the navy stationed in Donghai, Jiujiang, and Kuaiji, are sworn brothers. Now the other two are generals who guard one side and hold the army. Only he is still a county guard, and the sergeants under his command are not under his control!" Zhao Gao quickly replied.

Zhao Gao's answer made Hu Hai ponder, and for a long time Hu Hai said uncertainly: "Could it be that the prime minister is trying to build momentum for Li You, and wants him to control several counties like Xiang Yu?"

"Your Majesty, you must know that the prime minister is a person who values ​​his own interests very much. It is possible to use this matter as Li You's bargaining chip to control the army!" Zhao Gao didn't seem to answer, but what he said strengthened Hu Hai's determination. idea.

...............

On the second day, Zhao Gao and Li Si entered the palace together to meet Hu Hai.

After Li Si reported that there was an uprising, Hu Hai furiously reprimanded Li Si just as he and Zhao Gao expected yesterday.Then he ordered Li Siwen's counties to wipe out the rioters.

Li Siben was a face-saving person, and being reprimanded by Hu Hai for no reason made him feel a little uncomfortable.After a few days, Li Si begged Hu Hai to rest at home because he was ill.After hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai immediately agreed without any reward.This made Li Si's heart feel even colder, and he began to wonder if it was a mistake to agree to help Huhai ascend the throne.

At the same time, Xiang Bo in Xianyang took advantage of the panic in Xianyang to transport all the grain, property and other things in Xiangjiazhuang back to Kuaiji County by water.Then he took dozens of guards south to Kuaiji, leaving only a few loyal dead men in Xianyang City to look after them.

"According to the time, Chen Sheng should have arrived in Chen County!" Xiang Yu asked Xue Zhong beside him in the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Yes, news just came! Chen Sheng personally led an army of [-] troops to Chen County, and they are attacking the city. I believe that Chen County will be taken down soon, and the entire Chen County will be taken as the foundation." Xue Zhong clasped his hands and replied. .

"Character: Xue Zhong
Status: Joining the army (force +1)

Force: 52 (49/50+3)

Intelligence: 82 (82/82)

Age: 22
Abilities: Xiang's Swordsmanship (Proficient +2),
Faction: None
Item Loyalty: 100
Host Loyalty: 100"

Glancing at Xue Zhong, Xiang Yu was very satisfied.Today's system has some more attributes after Chen Sheng's uprising.For example, civil servants and counselors have more intelligence, while generals have more control.

"Can foster father reach Wu County safely?" Xiang Yu nodded, instead of discussing Chen Sheng, he asked Fan Zeng.

"The military division has arrived in Wu County safely under the escort of Master Zheng Erwubai, and has entered Jinting Island!" Xue Zhong replied immediately.

Xue Zhong can be regarded as the head of Xiang Yu's intelligence agency. He controls the entire Xiang's intelligence organization and is directly under Xiang Yu's command.Xiang Yu has successfully mastered many institutions and organizations that Xiang Liang doesn't know about, such as this intelligence organization and a killer organization.

The killer organization is secretly controlled by Yu Ziqi, and the killers in the killer organization are all people with a force of more than 70.They all have other identities on the surface, and even their family and friends don't know their true identities.

"Have you mastered the two counties of Donghai and Jiujiang?" Xiang Yu asked again after hearing this.

As early as when the army entered the East China Sea and Jiujiang, Xiang Yu secretly ordered Xue Zhong to ask him to buy off the magistrates of the two counties and assassinate some stubborn loyalists.

"My lord! Now the two counties are the same as Kuaiji, as long as the lord gives an order, they can change the banner together!" Xue Zhong replied confidently.
