Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 180 Li Si's Death ([-])

"Okay! If that's the case, I agree to attack the city tomorrow! If I can't take Wuguan, I will all kill myself to thank the king!" Zhou Wen immediately stood up and agreed to the generals' invitation to fight.

Zhou Wen's heroic words made all the generals feel excited, and they were all ready to show their skills and win Wuguan tomorrow.

In Wuguan City.

Li Ye, captain of the guard, was looking at the map with his lieutenants Li Cang and Zang Xiong, discussing why Zhou Wen hadn't attacked for so many days.

"My lord! Messenger has been sent for many days, but the imperial court has not sent troops. And Zhou Wen has not attacked Wuguan on a large scale, what should we do?" Li Cang asked impatiently.

"That's right! If the emperor thinks that we are lying about the military flag, then it will be over." Zang Xiong also said worriedly.

"No need to worry! As long as Prime Minister Zhao is still in court, we will not be in any danger!" Li Ye said frankly to the two of them.

"Brother!" Li Cang pointed at Li Ye, speechless for a moment.Even the way Zang Xiong looked at Li Ye changed a bit!

"If it weren't for agreeing to join Prime Minister Zhao, do you think the three of us can guard Wuguan?" Li Ye said immediately, knowing the reaction of the two of them. "Didn't you see those people who didn't have a good relationship with Prime Minister Zhao were either transferred back to the Guowei Mansion to take up idle positions or were thrown into prison? I don't do that, you and I have already been transferred to the Guowei Mansion !"

"Brother! Zhao Gao is an eunuch!" Li Cang said eagerly.

"So what? As long as my Li family can continue to be in the army, what's the point? You know, since Uncle Xin's defeat, our family has been worsening day by day. Now we can only hug Prime Minister Zhao's thigh tightly." Only then can my Li family be rejuvenated." Li Ye said to Li Cang earnestly, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Brother!" Li Cang understood Li Ye's heart, his eyes were a little red.

"Do you still remember what Uncle Xin said?" Seeing Li Cang's eyes were red, Li Ye shouted immediately.

"Remember! Uncle Xin said that a man bleeds but not tears!" Li Cang replied loudly, holding back the tears that were about to fall.

In order to make the atmosphere less dull, Li Ye ordered: "From now on, the Wuguan garrison will be divided into three parts. You and I will each lead one part, and each will guard the city wall for half a day. The remaining part will be temporarily used as a reserve team to guard against Zhou Wen at any time." attack!"

"Here!" Li Cang and Zang Xiong cupped their hands at the same time.

As a relatively large pass, Wuguan is stationed with 6000 troops, all of whom are old Qin soldiers who were born in Qin.These old Qin soldiers have experienced the battle of destroying the six countries, and some of them came back from Yuyang, Jiuyuan and other places with extremely rich combat experience.But they are also tired of war, which is also the emotion that all Qin people have.

"This battle will never end! It's been 23 years! I have been forced into the army since I was 15 years old, and I haven't returned home until now! I don't know what's going on at home!" a village head said to He said to a few recruits who were talking about the situation at home.

"Ten Zhang! Why don't you write a letter back?" A recruit suddenly asked.

"No one in my family can read, so what's the use of writing a letter?" the head of the village said helplessly.

After hearing what the head of the village said, everyone fell silent.

"Okay! Don't think about it, tomorrow we will continue to patrol the city wall to prevent the attack of the rioters! Go to sleep!" The head of the village stood up, patted his pants, and told the recruits in the camp.

"I really hope that the world can end the war soon! I don't care who will be the emperor, as long as we can live a normal life." The old village chief who has been a soldier for 23 years looked at the moon in the sky and said helplessly.

Xianyang, the residence of Prime Minister Zuo.

Han Yu took Wuguan's messenger to the outside of the study, leaving the messenger to go into the study to report to Zhao Gao.

"Prime Minister! The envoy of Wuguan came with a letter from the guard Li Ye, saying that he has something urgent to report!" After Han Yu bowed his hands to Zhao Gao, he revealed his intention.

"Li Ye? Isn't this Li Xin's nephew?" Zhao Gao raised his head and frowned after hearing this.

"Yes, Prime Minister! This person has agreed not long ago to obey the prime minister's order and work for the prime minister!" Han Yu also answered with hands clasped, and told the matter that Li Ye had already served Zhao Gao.

"Call the messenger in! I'd like to see, what's urgent for Li Ye!" Zhao Gao chuckled noncommittally.

"I have met the prime minister!" The messenger saw Zhao Gao first saluted and then handed a silk book respectfully to Han Yu, and then said: "Chenjun rebels Zhou Wen has led more than 30 rebel soldiers to my Wuguan city. I implore the imperial court to send troops to suppress the rioters!"

Hearing what the messenger said, Zhao Gao was a little startled when he looked at the silk book in his hand.

"Immediately transfer Captain Su Jiao in the Lantian camp to lead [-] troops to aid Wuguan! Make sure that the rebels are not allowed to enter and keep them outside the pass!" Zhao Gao immediately got up and gave the order.

"Here!" The eunuch who was in charge of writing the imperial decree immediately drew up the edict, then stamped it with a seal and handed it over to a school lieutenant who stood by.

The messenger went to the Lantian camp with the school lieutenant to transfer troops. Zhao Gaoyou ordered: "Immediately draw up an edict and order the northern army to go south to guard Xianyang immediately! In addition, order Neishi County to recruit troops and horses, and then transfer all the Huqi battalions to Xianyang city !"

"Here!"

Kuaiji County, Wu County.

Among the county mansions, Xiang Yu sits high on the head.On the left are the prefects of Kuaiji, Donghai, and Jiujiang, and the censors of the prefectures and censors. On the right sit Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng and other members of the Xiang family, as well as Ji Bu and other lieutenant colonels.

"What is it that the governor summoned us to wait for? We still have a lot of trivial matters to deal with in the county, so please explain it to the governor as soon as possible!" Tong An, the governor of Jiujiang County, was the first to get up and said impatiently.

Tong An is a person who adheres to proclamation to Wu. Although he is still under Xiang Yu's supervision for the time being, he always does not give Xiang Yu face.In Tong An's eyes, although Xiang Yu is the governor, he is just a small captain.Duwei can only be compared with Junwei in Qin State, and some Duwei are even smaller than Junwei!

"Tong County Sheriff, be safe and don't be impatient! After the governor has finished giving orders, he will naturally let me go." Wei An also got up to speak, and Ling was not as nervous as before.

The performance of everyone in Xiang Yu's main hall knew which ones could be subdued and which ones had to be killed.He smiled and said slowly: "Let the three county guards and you come here, the governor has made a very important decision and wants to discuss it with you!"

When everyone heard this, they all paid attention, wanting to hear what Xiang Yu was going to do to gather all the leaders of the three counties here.

Seeing everyone's performance, Xiang Yu continued: "It is my Xiang family who wants to re-establish the Chu State and resist the tyranny of Qin!"
