Competing

Chapter 161
In the dark night, seeing Sima Xin disappear without a trace, he can no longer catch up!

The man in black who came to rescue him didn't stay long, suppressed Duan Hou with crossbow arrows, and quickly retreated, disappearing into the woods.

When they reached a safe place, everyone pulled down the black cloth covering their faces.Under the faint light, one could vaguely see that the leader was Xiao Gongjiao, the general of Chu State under Xiang Yu's command.

He only heard: "The general and Marquis of Shaoxing really have a clever plan, Sima Xin is determined to hate Zhao Gao now. Let's go back to Julu for business!"

The group of people who were waiting to arrest Sima Xin were extremely depressed.Waiting for work with ease, seeing that he was about to succeed, but was messed up by others, so he had no choice but to go back to work.

In fact, there were people who were more depressed than them. Zhao Jiu led the brown-clothed knights to chase away, but he didn't know that Sima Xin changed his route temporarily, and he didn't even see anyone.

Thinking of the scene where Zhao Gao was furious after returning home, Zhao Jiu's heart was particularly heavy, his scarred face stretched out, and he looked extremely disgusting.

Sure enough, when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang, Zhao Gao was ushered in a stormy roar.It was Zhang Han's ignorance of flattery, Sima Xin's sneaky escape, and the incompetence of Zhao Jiu and others.

Zhao Jiu is very depressed, why his luck is always so bad...

Seeing this, Yan Le of Xianyang winked, turned away from the left and right, and then said: "Father-in-law, calm down, he has already left, and there is nothing to do. If there is something wrong with Zhang Han, maybe your majesty and the courtiers will blame you , so you have to make plans early!"

Zhao Gao glanced at his son-in-law, thought for a moment and asked, "Kill Hu Hai? Li Ziying?"

Yan Le nodded: "Hu Hai is unpopular. Killing him is to explain to the world and the subjects. Ziying is the son of Fusu after all. If he is made king, the courtiers' belonging and recognition will be stronger. Anyway, he is just a puppet. The power is still in the hands of your father-in-law."

Zhao Gao stopped talking several times, and finally summoned up the courage to ask, "How should I do it? I might end up treasonous!"

Yan Le shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, everything in Xianyang is under the control of you and your son-in-law. However, it is definitely not acceptable to do it in Xianyang Palace. Why don't you trick Hu Hai into staying in the palace, and behead him in the name of arresting thieves?" Killing, and then pushing the charge of assassination to the thieves and those ministers who don't know the current affairs, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Zhao Gao sat on the spot, silent for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's do it this way!"

"Yes, son-in-law, let's make arrangements now!"

A smug smile flickered across the corner of Yan Le's mouth. It seemed that what the doorman said was right. If he killed Hu Hai, he would become the biggest potential beneficiary.

Zhao Gao was a eunuch, but he had only one daughter, who was his wife.After a hundred years of father-in-law, the power will naturally be handed over to him.As for Zhao Cheng, who was the only threat, because he helped Zhang Han talk about Xiang Tiao Wangli's support for Zhao State this time, so that the defeat caused Zhao Gao.Has been reprimanded many times, alienated a lot.

At that time, as long as you find a suitable opportunity to kill Ziying, this throne is not... Thinking of this, Yan Le couldn't help but snicker!
Things in the world are always happy and sad!Jingshui Palace, when the two old men received the news, they couldn't help sighing, beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Remind Sima Xin to escape, intercept the house arrest on the way, and wait for Ziying's news, who knows that he made a mistake.Sima Xin escaped, and seemed to be rescued by an upright courtier in Xianyang. Such a result made the two of them dumbfounded.

An undeniable fact, Sima Xin left Hangu Pass and went back to Jiyuan, and he believed that Zhao Gao wanted to kill him.

God knows how Zhang Han will react when he gets the news?This is the last hope of the Great Qin Empire, is it over like this?For a moment, they only felt that the sky was dim and the earth was dark, and the heavy atmosphere made them unable to breathe.

After a long time, the long-bearded man said: "If this is the case, God will not bless Qin!"

The white-haired old man said worriedly: "I don't know what's changed in Zhang Han. Liu Bangzai of the Chu Kingdom has already entered the Han land, and will approach Hangu and Wuguan in a few days. Daqin... Daqin..." After all, he didn't say half a sentence.

The long-bearded man said: "The plan remains the same, we can only hope that Zhang Han's mind will be on the Great Qin, and he will persist for a while longer!"

"That's all!"

At this moment, even if there is a glimmer of fluke hope, they are unwilling and will not give up.

But Sima Xin ran all the way back to Jiyuan, ignoring the dust all the way, exhausted, and immediately went to meet Zhang Han.

Seeing that Sima Xin's complexion was not good and his mood was low, Zhang Han had a bad premonition, so he still asked luckily, "How is it?"

Sima Xin shook his head and said: "It's not easy for the last general to come back with his life, seeing the general again!"

Zhang Han's heart sank, and he asked, "You've worked hard, how is it?"

Sima Xin then sighed: "Zhao Gao didn't see the last general at all, and even sent someone to hunt down and kill the last general. If it wasn't for someone's help, he would have been decapitated at this moment. The last general found out through his former colleagues and friends in Xianyang, Zhao Gao not only did not trust the last general. General, I will also place all the blame for your crimes on you, if you don't hold a heavy army for the time being, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Han's heart sank to the bottom involuntarily, and he remained silent for a long while.

Seeing this, Sima Xin advised him: "General, you should have planned a good plan early! The Second Emperor indulged in lust in the palace and didn't care about political affairs. Zhao Gao blamed a deer for a horse, and brought disaster to the court. There is no hope!"

Good plan?What is a good plan?Retreat or surrender to Chu?For a while, Zhang Han was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to deal with it!

When Zhang Han was hesitating, a letter was sent from Julu north of Zhangshui. It was written by Zhao General Chen Yu and Chu General Yin Xu.

Zhang Han opened it, and saw the letter read: General Zhang Han saw the words like faces, Baiqi became a general of Qin, attacked Yan and Ying in the south, killed horses in the north pit, captured cities and territories, innumerable. With Zhao Zhi's vigor frustrated, Qin Shishi might go out of the Kanto and invade.However, because of Fan Sui's slander, he was bestowed with death by King Qin.

Meng Tian was a general of the Qin Dynasty and built the Great Wall, but the Xiongnu had more than seven hundred miles away and opened up an area of ​​several thousand miles in Yuzhong, but they ended up in a different place.Why?Because of the great military exploits, the Qin court was unable to award rewards based on meritorious deeds. The high meritorious deeds shocked the king, making the king restless, so he was accused of crimes and executed in accordance with the law of the country.

With one foot in charge of the Shaofu, he fought as a general. After three years of fighting, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost.Zhao Gao, a treacherous official in Xianyang, flattered and harmed the country, mistrusted generals, and killed loyal and good people. For a long time, the world knows it.The current situation is critical, and he is also afraid that the second king will ask the crime, and he may kill the general to shirk his responsibility, and send someone else to replace the general, so as to get rid of the crime.

The general has been away for a long time, and the Xianyang court and the general have a lot of estrangements. If you have meritorious service, you will die, and if you fail, you will die. Will the general be willing to kill him?

Today, when Qin is destroyed by heaven, all people in the world, no matter how stupid or wise, know this truth.The general can't speak out to remonstrate inside, but he is a Qin general who is about to perish outside, how many days can he stand alone in isolation?How sad!

Why don't the general defect and contact all the princes, sign a peace treaty, fight against Qin together, crack the soil and seal the king, and sit facing south, saying that he is a widow?
I hope that the general will think carefully, make the right choice for the life of the general and the soldiers under his command, and plan a good plan early.We are looking forward to it and looking forward to the good news!
