Competing

Chapter 178
After Cao Wushang heard about it, he realized that the Qin people surrendered for such a reason, which is really funny.This time he was able to successfully win Wuguan, Liu Peigong really took a big deal, all thanks to Xiang Yu's impulsive move.

As far as Xiang Yu was concerned, the killing of Xin'an had too many adverse effects, and it was gradually beginning to appear at this time.This is just the first time that Liu Bang is cheap, and there will be many more in the future.

While Cao Wushang sighed, he was also deeply shocked by Xiang Yu's actions. The news of beheading 20 people was too shocking.After Xiao He got the news, the spread was limited to the upper-level generals and counselors. The middle-level generals like him didn't know about it yet, so they couldn't help being shocked when they suddenly found out.

Cao Wushang is also a clever person, he immediately thought of something, that is, after Liu Peigong captured Guanzhong, can he take the position of King of Guanzhong?Can Xiang Yu agree?Will he kill Liu Bang and the generals including himself like he killed Zhang Han's 20 people?

Thinking of this, Cao Wushang became a little scared, and this kind of fear gradually produced a subtle influence in his heart.On a certain night when he entered Guanzhong, his fear became more and more apparent, which made him do certain things, so that he, who was originally mediocre, could be remembered in history!
Fan Kui hurried over when he got the news, accepted the fact with "mixed joy and sorrow", and couldn't help laughing when he learned the reason why the Qin army surrendered.Xiang Yu's cruelty finally had the retribution he deserved. First of all, he lost the hearts of the Qin border guards. The thoughts of these people also represented the hearts of the people of Qin.

Peigong is known for benevolence and righteousness, and even the border guards of the Qin State welcomed him wholeheartedly and offered to surrender. What about the people in Guanzhong?It is enough to see what the people want.It seems that it is too wise to try every means to persuade Peigong to capture Wuguan.

In the camp, Pei Gong Liu Bang couldn't help being surprised when he received Fan Kuai's report, why didn't he keep his mouth open for a long time, and said in surprise: "Wuguan has been captured?"

Cao Shen was overjoyed and replied: "Yes, it is Pei Gong, oh... no, to be precise, the guard of Wuguan took the initiative to surrender. Fan Kuai won Wuguan without bloodshed.

"Huh?" Liu Peigong couldn't accept the unexpected surprise for a while, and he said after a long time: "So, Wuguan has fallen into our hands?"

Xia Houying smiled and said: "It's not just Wuguan, congratulations to Duke Pei! After taking Wuguan, you have entered Guanzhong. Now Xianyang's defense is empty, and the city is about to be broken. King Huai said first, the first to enter Guanzhong and enter Xianyang, Wang Zhi, you Now he is half the king of Guanzhong."

Li Shiqi stroked his beard and smiled, "According to General Fan's report, the Qin garrison at Wuguan surrendered because they were afraid of Xiang Yu's cruelty and because they were grateful for your benevolence and righteousness, Mr. Pei. This is exactly what Qin people want. Youdao is the world of those who win the hearts of the people, and Peigong will be crowned king Guanzhong is just around the corner!"

Liu Bang squeezed out a wry smile. When he asked Fan Kui to attack Wuguan, he was actually trying to test it.First, it depends on the internal reaction of Qin State and the intensity of the border defense, and second, it depends on the reaction of Xiang Yu and other princes.At the same time, it happened to follow the wishes of the soldiers and make preparations in advance.

It can be said that entering Guanzhong is still beyond his expectations, at least in terms of thinking, Liu Bang is not ready yet.Unexpectedly, it took less than half a day for Fan Kui to take down Wuguan without bloodshed. This fact is too unexpected.

The situation is already like this, and there is no need to take care of so much. It is imperative to enter Guanzhong.Since God's will is so, and the people's will is what they want, then act according to the destiny!Peigong Liu Bang immediately ordered that the three armies directly enter Wuguan and drive straight to Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

--------

In Xianyang City, Qin Prince Ying, who had just ascended the throne forty days, was sitting in the main hall when he heard his subordinates report: "Chu General Xiang Yu is in Xin'an...he will kill all 20 soldiers of our Great Qin!"

"What?" Ziying just stood up from the throne in astonishment, his face full of astonishment and terror.Although Zhang Han has surrendered, the 20 troops that affected the survival of Qin no longer exist. Although the 20 soldiers surrendered, they were still the people of the Qin State. How could people not be shocked and frightened when they were suddenly killed at this time?

Ziying was originally a kind and caring person, so he couldn't bear to kill by nature, and he couldn't accept Xiang Yu's atrocities.For a moment, there was an infinite storm in my heart.

The more serious fact also followed, that is, the coalition forces of the princes had approached Hangu Pass and were about to attack the mainland of Qin.Wang Li is dead, Zhang Han has surrendered, and the Qin State still has 50 troops far away in Baiyue in the south of Lingnan.

In the past, the first princes had no more troops left, and no longer had enough strength to protect themselves. Although the terrain of Hangu Pass was dangerous, they could not last for a few days without reinforcements. The demise of Qin was an indisputable fact.

Thinking of this, Ziying couldn't help feeling sad. As the eldest grandson of the First Emperor, he had just eliminated Zhao Gao and other rebels.Just when the smoggy Qin State was brought back to life, when he was about to do something, God did not give him this chance.

Even if he just wanted to preserve the former homeland of the Qin State, he couldn't do it anymore. The Ying family's hundreds of years of foundation could not be preserved at last.Although none of this was caused by him, but in fact he was about to become the last king, Ziying felt deeply guilty about his ancestors, especially his grandfather and father.

what can we do about it?Ziying felt infinitely hesitant and embarrassed.

Just at this moment, another person came to report: "Your Majesty, Wuguan is an urgent report!"

Ziying suddenly remembered that the Chu general Liu Bang had led his army to Wuguan a few days ago, and then retreated for some reason.Just relaxed for a few days, what happened now?
The visitor reported: "Chu General Liu Bang went and returned, and came to Wuguan City again. A few days ago, the dispatched general Fan Kuai knocked on the pass. Who knows...who knows that the guard of Wuguan in our country surrendered without a fight, and Liu Bang, who surrendered voluntarily... ..."

"What?" Ziying was shocked and almost jumped up from his seat.

I was still worried about Hangu Pass just now, but I didn't want Wuguan to have an accident first.Wuguan fell, thinking that the eastern gateway to Qin State had been opened, and the Chu army had entered the hinterland of Guanzhong. On the flat Jingwei Plain, there was no danger to defend, no soldiers to move, everything was over...

Ziying sat on the ground weakly, he was already powerless to condemn the border guards, it was no fault of them.It took a long time before he said: "Mobilize all the troops to stop the Chu army in Lantian!"

"promise!"

Ziying sneered, the blocking may be in form rather than content, and the result is still predictable.He stood up and walked out of the hall. The majestic Xianyang Palace was still majestic, but it could no longer look down on the world like it used to!
The huge city of Xianyang still has tens of thousands of mansions, but it is shrouded in darkness and gloom.

At this time, the sun was setting in the western mountains, and it was at dusk when Ziying raised his head and looked into the distance.The east has been shrouded in darkness...

Today's Qin State is so similar, the general trend is gone, what is the difference from this sunset that is about to sink into the mountains?For a moment, all thoughts in my heart were lost!
