Competing
Chapter 193
Chapter 193
Between Bashang and Hongmen, somewhere in the dark woods, the soft winter sun shines through the shadows of the trees, revealing a glimmer of light.A bonfire may have been burning all night, the flames gradually dimmed, and the slowly floating flames completely disappeared, almost extinguished.There are only a few pieces of ashes that are about to burn out, and a faint blue smoke is floating in the woods, gradually dissipating with the wind, until it disappears completely.
The usually quiet and desolate woods are very lively today, and a mysterious figure has entered at some point.On the edge of the woods, a group of capable warriors held swords and patrolled back and forth, carefully observing the surrounding environment.It formed a large circle with a radius of about ten feet, and there was a master who made them swear their allegiance to the death, and they had to be carefully guarded.
Beside the fire in the big circle, a white-haired old man walked back and forth a little restlessly, maybe his eyes fell on the small intersection hidden in the bushes in the distance.From his fidgeting and eager eyes, it can be seen that he is waiting for someone or some news.For the old man, it is best to be a person, and it is best to come back with two people.If it's just one person, or just news, it's probably only disappointing news!
Beside the gradually extinguished bonfire, there was still a man with a long beard sitting, but he was already approaching his sixtieth year.In contrast, he is much calmer than the white-haired old man, but it doesn't mean that his psychological quality is much stronger.Mainly, the white-haired old man has more family concerns, and the so-called caring is chaotic, so that it is difficult to calm down.
"Brother Liao, do you think you will succeed today?" The white-haired old man was walking back and forth with a heavy heart, as if he was suffering all the time. After holding back for a long time, he finally couldn't help asking.
The long-bearded man sitting beside the ashes said: "Xiang Yu's invitation will be delivered today, Liu Bang will naturally panic when he receives the reminder, and his main thoughts will be on how to deal with Xiang Yu, and he will not care about other things." Things. It can be imagined that this is the most chaotic time in the Bashang barracks, and the defenses are naturally the most lax and messy. It is also the best time for us to save people. It is much easier than in Xian, Yangcheng and those days before, but ...But we can only do our best in this matter. Du Shang and the others are all well-trained masters, and they are careful and prudent in doing things. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely be able to do it well. Just wait..."
Sometimes waiting is completely tormenting, a kind of pain, at least for the current white-haired old man.The white-haired old man raised his head from time to time outside the forest, and the faint mist drifted around gently. The closer to noon, the sun's rays were still getting brighter and brighter.A heart full of worries is still hanging in the air, when no one comes back, when will it not fall.
I don't know how long I waited, a signal was issued from the outer guard, footsteps sounded, and finally it sounded.The white-haired old man couldn't help but feel excited for a while, and immediately turned to look, his eyes full of anticipation.
When seeing only one person came back, there was an indescribable disappointment in his eyes, and a powerful disappointment surfaced in his heart in an instant.The furrowed brows and the twitching corners of the mouth revealed some information that this weather-beaten old man would suffer another mental blow, a strong spiritual blow.
"Du Shang, what's the situation?" Even though he had foreseen that it would be a bad situation, the white-haired old man couldn't help but ask. Maybe the gods will have some good news, or maybe he was overthinking and scaring himself.In short, until the last moment, the white-haired old man is still unwilling and will not give up.
What came was a man in his thirties. His strong body, resolute face, and sharp and firm eyes all showed that this man was not simple.As the number one expert under the two mysterious old men and the most reliable subordinate, he is often sent to perform difficult tasks.Back then, under such heavy surveillance and strict defense, he still managed to rescue the old master.
In such a difficult situation, with some clever operations, he successfully deceived Qin Ershi Hu Hai and the traitor Zhao Gao, and also deceived the whole world.That's why people thought that the famous prime minister who was under one person and over ten thousand people was cut in half, but they didn't know that the one who was killed was only a loyal substitute who was willing to die.And that old man managed to escape from the killing and frame-up, and planned many major events some time ago, which had a lot of impact on history and the local area.However, the impact on the overall situation is limited, and it cannot achieve the magical effect of turning the tide...
This is Du Shang, a strong and alert subordinate, with a high status under his white-haired old man, just like Pu Jun is to General Yin.If it is only in terms of carrying out secret missions, it may be even worse.Du Shang has performed many important missions in the past, and he has almost never lost his defense. It is for this reason that the white-haired old man entrusted him with this difficult but extremely important mission.However, will Du Shang give him a satisfactory answer?
Du Shang walked in front of the white-haired old man, his eyes were calm but full of guilt, he knelt down in front of him with a plop, and said in a deep voice, "Master, this subordinate should be damned for not being able to rescue the king!"
At this moment, the princes of the Five Kingdoms of the East followed Xiang Yu and stationed at Hongmen of Xinfeng, and King Huai of Chu Xiong Xin was still in the palace of Pengcheng.The only one who can be called a great king still needs to be rescued is Prince Ying of Qin who just knelt on the left side of Xian and Yangdao, offered jade seals and tiger charms, and surrendered to Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei.Although the State of Qin has perished and Ziying is now a prisoner, for some people, the State of Qin will always exist in their hearts, and Ziying will always be their unique king!
"What?" There was a crisp slap in the face, and an old voice was furious, and he struggled to highlight two words. It was Li Si, the former prime minister of Qin!
Since Ziying surrendered, he has been planning to rescue his grandson, the eldest grandson of Qin Shihuang, in order to make a comeback and restore Qin State one day.However, Ziying has been closely guarded by Xia Houying sent by Liu Bang, and has never found a chance.This meeting finally had an unprecedented good time, but it missed.
Hearing the heavy news that his grandson was not rescued, how could Li Si not be angry?As for the first time he beat Du Shang, a loyal and conscientious general.
Du Shang lowered his head, silently bearing the wrath of his master's thunder.Since the Sha and Qiu coup, he has followed his master. He clearly understands his master's past experience and thoughts, and his guilt and feelings for Mr. Fusu, Mr. Ziying, and Princess Ziye.This time, he arranged to rescue Ziying by himself but failed. The old master's mood at this moment is completely understandable.
Du Shang felt this kind of pain, and even though the failure of this matter was not due to his negligence, he still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of self-blame.Hearing the old master's sad and indignant inquiry, he replied in a deep voice: "We went late, and Liu Bang took the king away first and went to Xinfeng Hongmen."
"What? Ziying was taken away by Liu Bang? He went to Hongmen?" The white-haired Li Si felt a strong shock in his heart, and it was difficult to accept such a fact.Ziying was not in Bashang's barracks at all, he had made a mistake in his prediction and missed Du Shang, a trace of guilt filled his heart, but was quickly overwhelmed by concern for Ziying's safety.
Du Shang handed over a bamboo slip and said, "This is the news from Hongmen just now!"
Li Si tremblingly stretched out his hand for help, but the bearded man beside the ashes came over and said softly, "I'll do it!" Then he took the bamboo slip, removed the wax seal on it, and started to read.Li Si lowered his hands silently and was speechless for a long time.
The long-bearded man quickly scanned the contents of the silk book, and asked, "Liu Bang rushed to Xinfeng Hongmen this morning? But he was summoned by Xiang Yu? How many people did he bring? What's unusual?" The question blurted out.
Du Shang kept his head down, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Liu Bang left early in the morning, and the people who followed him were mainly Fan Kuai and Xia Houying, and a middle-aged scholar, who followed Liu Bang, and his status Still above other generals, it should be Zhang Liang without a doubt. There are only dozens of guards accompanying him, but they are all first-class experts. There has been news from the Yan people of Xinfeng Hongmen, but there is no doubt about it.”
"At that time, seeing Liu Bang's generals were sending Liu Bang away at the gate of the camp, his subordinates took the opportunity to sneak into the camp and wanted to rescue the king, but they had not found any trace of the king. Later, when they returned, they received news from Hongmen, so they Knowing that the king was taken away by Liu Bang. Today our attention is mainly on the camp where the king lives temporarily in the back camp, and we also observed secretly. There is no figure of the king among the accompanying personnel, but..." Speaking of this, Du Shang inevitably A little frustrated.
Du Shang didn't know that when Liu Bang and Zhang Liang discussed in the middle of the night and decided to take Ziying to the Hongmen, Ziying himself had already been quietly taken away by Zhou Bo.They tried to rescue Ziying in Xianyang and Yang several times. Although they didn't reveal their whereabouts obviously, there were inevitably some disturbances. Liu Bang was naturally aware of it, so he took precautions.What's more, Zhou Bo happened to be leaving first at that time, and he arranged to meet Liu Bang at any time on the way, so he took him away by the way.
"Xiang Yu's summons haven't arrived yet?" the bearded man was a little puzzled.
Du Shang replied in an unchanging tone: "Yes, according to the news from Hongmen, Liu Bang took the initiative to rush there before Xiang Yu sent a messenger. There was a lot of trouble in the camp of the allied princes at Hongmen in Xinfeng. The sensation. As for other abnormalities, I haven't noticed it yet, and my subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on the situation at Xinfeng Hongmen..."
"By the way, it's not just that...and..." Du Shang had already shut up, but suddenly remembered something.
"What else?" Li Si, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, his mental state had not yet recovered.
"Liu Bang not only brought the king, but also sent something..."
Before Du Shang could say anything, the bearded man spat out word by word: "Chuan-Guo-Yu-Xi!"
The extraordinarily special tone shocked Du Shang, and he replied respectfully: "I got the news from Xinfeng Hongmen, it is said that Liu Bang not only brought the king there, but also dedicated the jade seal of my Great Qin Dynasty to Xiang Yu!"
"Chuan Guo Yuxi?" Li Si stood there and sneered, with a strange expression on his face, he silently waved his hand.Du Shang bowed his head and nodded, then turned and left. He didn't feel like he was being pardoned, and his emotions remained the same from beginning to end.
The bearded man stood beside Li Si, and suddenly threw the bamboo slips into the ashes, and the ashes splashed everywhere.The pile of ashes had already been so cold that there was no spark left!
The long-bearded man said coldly: "Liu Bang is really good at making wishful thinking. He wants to get rid of the crime, but uses Ziying as a shield. It's really abominable!"
The speaker was none other than Wei Liao, the former Taiwei of the Qin State, and he only had the status and qualifications to keep pace with Li Si.
Li Si sighed softly: "After all, we were negligent. I didn't expect Liu Bang to go to see Xiang Yu so soon!" There was deep loss and self-blame in his words. If Ziying fell into Xiang Yu's hands, the difficulty of rescue would be doubled Increase.
The state of Qin has perished, even though they tried so hard to turn the tide and help the building collapse, they still failed in the end.But as long as there is a little bit of hope, they will not give up easily.As long as Ziying is still alive, with such a treasure and some strength in his hands, they still want to make a comeback, summon the support and loyalty of the people in the old land of Qin, and plot to revive Qin.
However, as soon as Liu Bang's army entered the pass, Ziying left the city and surrendered without consulting anyone.Immediately afterwards, Ziying and the children of the Qin clan all fell into Liu Bang's strict surveillance and custody, and many attempts to save them failed.
When Xiang Yu entered Hangu Pass and Liu Bang returned to the Bashang, he was anxious about it and was very busy.Li Si and Wei Liao summed up that now is the best time to save lives, who would want to fall short again.
Li Si sometimes wondered, if he made a mistake once, God would punish him like this?Why not give yourself a chance to make amends?In a flash, after pushing Daqin to the road of defeat, it is more difficult than going to heaven to pull it back.
Li Si, who used to be all-powerful and under one person and above ten thousand people, felt a strong guilt and loss in his heart, and he even had the idea of giving up.But he firmly told himself, no!Ziying is still alive, hope there is still some.No matter how difficult it is for the Hongmen army to rescue people, they must try their best.But if it still fails this time, what if Ziying is killed?Li Si didn't know that by that time, what reason would he have to support himself to live?
Wei Liao could vaguely grasp Li Si's state of mind, but he didn't speak to persuade him.At this time, any words are useless, as long as there is a way to analyze the situation and find a way to rescue Ziying, this is the best persuasion to the old man.
Wei Liao said: "Last night, I received the news that Xiang Yu was going to hold a banquet to summon Liu Bang. Liu Bang left at dawn. Could it be that he is a prophet? Recently, there have been rumors in the army of the Hongmen princes that Liu Bang was going to take his son as his son." As a prime minister, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, Xiang Yu will definitely seize this opportunity and use this as an excuse to blame Liu Bang. And Liu Bang took Ziying to Hongmen this morning, obviously wanting to use facts to prove that he is Innocent, let the rumors prove self-defeating. Then the problem arises..."
Li Si collected his mind, nodded and said: "This means that Liu Bang got the news last night."
Wei Liao nodded: "It seems that Liu Bang has someone beside Xiang Yu, and he tipped off the news last night!"
At this time, they didn't think that it was General Yin and Xiang Bo who were "internal traitors", because they themselves bought a general of Yan State, so they got the news in time...
Li Si said coldly: "It seems that Liu Bang really has some tricks. He actually placed someone beside Xiang Yu early on, but... even if he got the news now, so what if he had prepared in advance? Can Xiang Yu let him go? Especially that one The scheming Fan Zeng wants to kill him wholeheartedly, can you let him go back alive?"
Wei Liao shook his head lightly, he knew Li Si's feelings, because Liu Bang secretly took away his grandson in advance, which made the rescue plan fail.And Ziying fell into Xiang Yu's hands, alas...Since Xin'an was killed and surrendered, Xiang Yu's bloody and brutal name is known all over the world.What's more, his grandfather Xiang Yan and uncle Xiang Liang both died and were injured by the Qin people, so he may not be able to accuse Ziying of this because he holds a grudge.Therefore, Ziying's reconciliation may be more or less ominous, and it is precisely because of this that Li Si hates Xiang Yu and Liu Bang from the bottom of his heart. If Liu Bang is killed, he will only gloat...
Wei Liao said: "Not necessarily. In the past, maybe death was inevitable, but now that we have arrived first, in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a clear conscience and an expression of active submission. Maybe Xiang Yu himself thinks so, and the possibility of wanting to kill again It's not big, and it's not easy to handle."
"In the past, Liu Bang could still use the excuse that Liu Bang wanted to call himself the king of Guanzhong, and questioned Liu Bang on the basis of Ziying as his crime. Speaking up, it belonged to Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu didn't dare to shamelessly accuse King Huai of Chu of the agreement. Now that Ziying is handed over to Xiang Yu, the charge of using the Qin people as prime minister has been cleared up. And..."
Wei Liao continued: "Furthermore, Liu Bang was not greedy or reluctant, so he generously handed over the Imperial Seal to Xiang Yu. It was the beloved item of His Majesty the First Emperor, symbolizing the supreme power and unprecedented submission in the world. Naturally, Xiang Yu I can't put it down, maybe I've forgotten about Liu Bang's incident. Liu Bang's move is also considered clever..."
After all, Li Si is a person who has gone through countless storms, struggled for a long time in the strong sadness and loss, calmed down a lot.Shen Sheng said: "What you are saying is that this move can only temporarily ease Xiang Yu's vigilance, but cannot completely calm Xiang Yu's determination to kill people. Besides, there is Fan Zeng who is constantly jumping around, and Liu Bang is still in danger. If I add A fire, Liu Bang... hum!"
My mind calmed down, but the strong hatred in my heart still could not be settled, and a strong killing intent surged towards Liu Bang...
Wei Liao sighed softly, and asked: "What does Li Xiang mean?" He has not yet grasped Li Si's meaning clearly.
Li Si explained: "Liu Bang pretended to be clever and gave the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to Xiang Yu, hoping to use it to claim credit and save his life. It happens that Xiang Yu also loves it very much. If he now knows that the Jade Seal is fake, what do you think Xiang Yu will think?"
Wei Liao suddenly remembered that there are now two imperial seals in this world, it seems that Li Si was really angry this time...
Li Si sneered and said: "'Ordered by heaven, long life will last forever', these eight characters were written by the old man himself. No one in this world is more familiar with the Chuan Guo Yuxi than the old man, and only the old man knows that there are two pieces of the Chuan Guo Yuxi. , Only I can distinguish the extremely subtle differences. Now I don’t mind sharing this secret with Xiang Yu, and let him go and appraise it to see if the Chuan Guo Yuxi in his hand is real or not?”
After a slight pause, Li Si continued: "In this world, only His Majesty the First Emperor and his true successors can have it. This jade seal symbolizes the destiny, supreme power and wealth of the world. No one else can get their hands on it. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao used a fake one, and Xiang Yu still got a fake one..."
It goes without saying that what would happen if Xiang Yu found out that the jade seal Liu Bang dedicated to him was a fake?Would he think that this jade seal had been dropped from Qin Ershi Hu Hai when he was in power?Would he think that it was Ziying himself who exchanged the fake for the real when he offered the jade seal?Or do you firmly believe that Liu Bang, who handed over the object to himself, did something wrong?
The first possibility, Xiang Yu would not think about it at all, of course, almost everyone in the world would not suspect that Qin Ershi Hu Hai has used it for several years, and there is a clever traitor Zhao Gao by his side, if Yuxi is replaced It's gone, can't you find it?Obviously not.
The second possibility, Xiang Yu might be suspicious, but what would Ziying do if he dropped Bao Yuxi?I have surrendered, my body has been guarded, and I may be killed at any time.The two characters and the clans far and near of Qin State were all guarded.Does Yuxi have any meaning to Qin people?
Would Ziying who chose to surrender without any resistance still do these boring things?Of course, Xiang Yu may have a slight suspicion in his heart that is not easy to detect, which becomes another excuse or psychological weight to kill Ziying.
Then the third type is that Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, manipulated the fake and confused the real.The Jade Seal of Chuanguo has such a special meaning that anyone would want to keep it for himself!Liu Bangneng couldn't help but enter Guanzhong first, which shows that he is ambitious. Will he not be tempted to see such treasures as Chuanguo Yuxi?
At this moment, he was afraid of Xiang Yu's power and had to hand it over, but it is also possible that Liu Bang was reluctant.What's more, none of them are from Qin State. Has anyone seen Chuan Guo Yuxi before?Even if it is really a similar fake, it is very possible.
How could Xiang Yu be willing to be deceived by such an important treasure?What's more, the Chuanguo Yuxi represents many special meanings. If Liu Bang has some intentions, taking this thing out one day in the future can also cause harm to one party.Therefore, Xiang Yu absolutely cannot tolerate Liu Bang using a fake jade seal to deceive himself.
At that time, Xiang Yu's killing intent that he couldn't bear to be silent will resurface in his heart again, and his attention and vigilance to Liu Bang will resume again.Coupled with Fan Yafu's obstruction, how could Xiang Yu, who was furious, not kill Liu Bang?
Li Si smiled and said, "Give Xiang Yu a gift! He will definitely thank us then."
Wei Liao smiled lightly, and the previous heavy and sad atmosphere eased a lot.
Li Si said: "Xiang Yu will kill Liu Bang as always. I don't believe that Liu Bang will be unprepared when he gets the news before. Maybe he has already arranged an internal response in the camp of the allied princes in Hongmen. It is likely that somewhere other than Xinfeng There will still be people coming to meet him, and there will be chaos in Hongmen's barracks. At that time, we will have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and find a way to sneak into Hongmen's camp, let the Yan countryman respond, and find a way to rescue Ziying is here."
In the final analysis, Li Si's greatest wish is to rescue his grandson Ying, so as to revive Qin State again.This desire is too strong, many things are serving his idea!But this time can be said to be truly the last chance. If Ziying cannot be rescued this time, what Ziying will face is probably death.
According to Xiang Yu's temper, who would dare to kill?Even if it was only a short 46 days, Ziying still bears the title of King Qin and is an enemy chief after all.Even if Ziying is the eldest son of Fusu, even if he is known as a virtuous man, even if he has no faults, it is difficult for Xiang Yu to tolerate him.What's more, the existence of the old master of such an enemy country will leave a possibility of restoration and threaten his own rule, let alone stay.This has always been the case in all dynasties of history, Ziying is destined to die, and the Qin clan in Xian and Yang will not be spared, leaving no seeds of resurgence for Qin...
The real last chance is related to the life and death of the grandson, and it is also related to the last symbol of Qin's existence.Li Si felt that the pressure in his heart was extremely heavy, almost making him unable to breathe.But now my old bones can't fall down, I have to persevere...
Li Si coughed lightly, and said: "If Xiang Yu can take advantage of the situation and kill Liu Bang, it will be regarded as revenge. If he escapes by chance, let him fight with Xiang Yu, and it is best for both sides to suffer. They were the ones who destroyed Daqin, and if Ziying risked his life because of something wrong with them, I will definitely retaliate at all costs, and I will definitely make them pay a painful price."
His old body trembled endlessly, and his pale beard and hair fluttered in the wind, making no one dare to underestimate the majesty and feasibility of his words.At this moment, he seems to have regained the powerful aura of standing under the throne of the Xian and Yang palaces, following Qin Shihuang Yingzheng to despise the world.
Wei Liao looked at Li Si's back, shook his head slightly, his eyes were complicated and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Si called Du Shang over, confessed a few words softly, showing a deep expression.His eyes fell on Xinfeng Hongmen, who was looking eastward, where was his grandson, is he okay?
Ziying has spent these days under Liu Bang's house arrest. In fact, when Liu Bang captured Wuguan, Lan and Tian, and approached Xian and Yangcheng, when he decided to surrender to protect the safety of the people in Guanzhong, he He held the belief that he must die...
Liu Bang was quite polite, he just took care of himself, and greeted him with food and drink every day, without the slightest embarrassment.Ziying was under house arrest in the military camp, not knowing what was going on outside. He even imagined that Liu Bang had already taken control of Guanzhong now... Is he treating the people in Guanzhong well?Is your choice correct?
In a life isolated from the world, Ziying doesn't know anything, and sometimes feels a little strange. Of course, these only perceptions are only learned through "moving".That day, he was hurriedly moved out of Xian and Yangcheng, and Ziying didn't know where he came to.He just listened to the cold wind blowing every night, and the expanse that he occasionally saw through the crack of the door. This place should be some plain, maybe Bashang?As the prince and grandson of Qin, he is quite familiar with Guanzhong.
However, at dawn today, a general under Peigong Liu Bang suddenly led his troops into his camp. Ziying thought that the leading general seemed to be Zhou Bo, who was Liu Peigong's confidant.Zhou Bo treated himself fairly politely, he only said that he wanted to invite himself out again, and then he was taken out and put into a carriage.
It's nice to say it's polite, but Zhou Bo's behavior today can only be said to be not very rude.As for being polite, it was very different from the past, Ziying didn't know why this happened, and wondered what happened?
Ziying didn't know when Xiang Yu entered Hangu Pass, nor did he know that Liu Bang was being pushed into a difficult situation recently, and he couldn't guess what he was about to face?Where will the destination be?I don't even know that I offended Liu Bang's soldiers unknowingly.
Because of Cao Wushang's informant, everyone who Zhou Bo casually proposed to change that day has attracted attention, and the fact that Ziying is a prime minister has also become Pei Gong Liu Bang's biggest crime.After hearing the news, Zhou Bo felt very depressed, because what he said casually was taken out of context by the traitor and reported by hearsay. Zhou Bo felt guilty.
The affection she had for Ziying suddenly faded away, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart.So much so that when they came to greet him today, they didn't have a good face, and the soldiers under him acted according to the general's face, and they were naturally negligent. Poor Ziying didn't know how he had provoked others.
All the way forward, it was inexplicably drawn like a military camp, and then it was handed over to some soldiers.Ziying only felt that his treatment and situation had suddenly changed greatly. Compared with Zhou Bo's polite way of treating him before, the soldiers of these people are simply rude and excessive.
After the conversation of the soldiers, Ziying realized that he had fallen into Xiang Yu's hands, and that it was the murderous demon king!The memory of Xin'an's killing and surrender is still deep, which is an important reason why Ziying chose to surrender to Peigong Liu Bang.
Unexpectedly, he still fell into his hands after tossing and turning. It can be seen that Liu Bang must have encountered some strong pressure and did so as a last resort.Ziying deeply felt that this fear was really coming to an end, and a heavy breath of death rushed over his face, making people feel pressured.
It doesn't matter if he dies, the key is the people in Guanzhong, this is what Ziying is most worried about now.I have fallen into Xiang Yu's hands, which means that Liu Bang has succumbed to Xiang Yu, so the title of King of Guanzhong that I gave Liu Bang so hard has still fallen into Xiang Yu's hands.It seems that I am a bit too wishful thinking. I wanted to choose a good king for the people in Guanzhong, so that the people in the old land of Qin would suffer less, but now everything has become a bamboo basket.When Xiang Yu entered the Guanzhong, the great strength after the Battle of Julu caught his attention. The cruelty of Xin'an's killing and surrender came to his mind one by one. Ziying couldn't help worrying whether the people in Guanzhong would suffer disaster. ?
Ziying stood at the door of the imprisoned tent, looking at the outside world through a gap, feeling more and more heavy.Maybe my life is about to end and I am about to leave this beautiful world. Even if there are too many unwillingness and reluctance, life is always so helpless.The only hope now is to meet Xiang Yu, and hope that he can treat the people in Guanzhong well. I wonder if he can win?Looking at the sky outside, Ziying couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and there was a trace of wet water in his eyes... He didn't know that there were many people outside the camp who were fighting for their lives...
In addition to Li Si and Wei Liao, there is another group of people who have been paying attention to Ziying, and that is Ziye, the Mo family who is next to Young Master Fusu and Fusu's daughter, Ziying's own sister.
Recently, the forest near Hongmen has always been extremely lively. First, Zhou Bo led two thousand elite soldiers to secretly arrange somewhere, waiting to meet Pei Gong Liu Bang who escaped from Hongmen at any time.In order to rescue Ziying, Li Si and Wei Liao also stayed between Bashang and Xinfeng Hongmen, ready to attack at any time.Somewhere in the woods to the east of Hongmen, a group of people were also extremely anxious.
"Eldest brother, you said that brother Ziying was brought into Xiang Yu's Hongmen camp?" The person who spoke was the noble woman with a bit of wild beauty in the northwest, the eldest daughter of Fusu, Ziying's compatriot sister, and her identity Honorable Ying Ziye.
A man of about 40 years old came over with a particularly heavy expression, looked at Ying Ziye, and said softly: "Yes, tonight Peigong Liu Bang suddenly brought Ziying into the camp of the allied princes in Xiang Yu's Xinfeng Hongmen. Handing over Young Master Ziying to Xiang Yu has already spread."
As for Ziying, these old people who followed Fusu have always been called sons.
When Ziye heard the news, his eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Xiang Yu is cruel and ruthless. He is a demon king who kills without blinking an eye. Isn't it very dangerous for brother Ziying to fall into his hands?" There was already a bit of sobbing in the middle.
It's no wonder that after the death of the first emperor Yingzheng, Qin II Hu Hai and the traitor Zhao Gao, together with their good grandfather Li Si, tampered with the imperial edict, made Hu Hai the second emperor, and even killed their parents.At that time, master Zhong Yin cooperated with a group of brothers and uncle Li You, and only rescued himself.He grew up with him, and his brother Ziying, who had a deep affection, fell into the hands of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and they have not seen each other for several years since then.
And I was taken to Sanchuan County by my uncle Li You to be raised. At that time, my uncle was your only relative, but I was killed by Xiang Yu in Yongqiu.This incident once made the beautiful princess of Qin extremely sad, and her spirit was also greatly shocked. She once rushed into Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, trying to kill Xiang Yu to avenge her uncle Li You.
It was at that time that I was lucky enough to meet General Shao and Xinghou Yin, and thought that the water cutoff was due to Meng Tian's sword in the past, and his mutual friend Fan Yilan.But speaking of it, Zi Yechang felt very lucky. After that incident, he was often terrified. If he hadn't met Yin Xu and rushed into Xiang Yu's mansion by himself, not only would he not be able to take revenge, but he would have lost his life and let down his uncle. A deep love.
There are more than these things that make him happy, and he also met Yin Xu... he can be regarded as a friend!Ying Ziye could only temporarily determine this in his heart.Thinking of it, Yin Xu was pretty good, he found himself in Pengcheng, so he let himself go.
Later, in order to bury my uncle, I took risks to do dirty work that no one else was willing to do.What is even more touching is that this person has a delicate mind and is very considerate of others. He still clearly remembers that night by the river outside Shangcai City, he specially found a small house for himself to give him time to bid farewell to his uncle. Over time, she remembered this kindness in her heart and never dared to forget it.
He often thinks of Yin Xu's handsome face, his handsome figure holding the broken water, and that extraordinarily attractive face, the girl's heart has been pounding at some point.He remembered that night in the thatched hut by the river, Yin Xu had a heart-to-heart conversation with himself, enlightening and comforting himself, and more importantly, he was always behaved and had no extravagant thoughts.At that time, I was only thinking about sadness, and I didn't think about these things at all, and I didn't notice them until later.
The uncle left just like that, and the only family member left in the world was his elder brother Ziying. However, he was kept under house arrest by Zhao Gao, under strict guard and supervision, so that there was no chance or possibility to meet each other.
Until a few days ago, when I was hiding in Sanchuan County, I heard that Ziying's brother had killed Zhao Gao and ascended to the throne of King Qin that should have belonged to his father.Not to mention how happy Ying Ziye was at that time, he clapped his little hands and prayed secretly, telling his father, mother and uncle in the sky that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
At that time, Ying Ziye also thought that there was hope for the Qin State, and was very excited about it. More importantly, he thought that he could see his dear brother Ziying immediately, which was the happiest thing for people.It can be said that after the family accident, what Ying Ziye cares most about is family affection and the warmth of home.For her at this moment, Ziying is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
So she and a group of brothers and sisters rushed to the capital of Guanzhong. On the one hand, she wanted to see her brother Ziying as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she also led people to help her brother. Most of the official officials are lackeys of Qin II Emperor Hu Hai and the traitor Zhao Gao. Brother Ziying must be short of reliable talents and manpower.
And the master Zhong Yin beside him is a giant of the Mo family, a master of masters, Deng Ling's Mo family is not lacking in martial arts masters, and there are also many learned Confucian advisers.These people were in Shangjun back then, and they followed their father because they wanted to realize some academic concepts and strategies for governing the country.
As a result, his father was killed, and now his elder brother has finally ascended to the throne, and he can finally fulfill his father's wish back then.Ziye was very happy in his heart. He never noticed that his master, Mr. Zhong Yin, and some people of insight in Mohist were worried all the time.
Ying Ziye, who was excited, seemed to have forgotten the dilapidated situation of Qin State. Master Zhong Yin and some brothers who were outside the situation were unwilling to shatter Ziye's dream prematurely, so they never told her the truth. I want her to have a few more happy days.At least it would be good for her to meet her elder brother Ziying.
At that time, Liu Bang was still outside Wuguan, and he hesitated because of Xiang Yu's worries.Xiang Yu is still traveling slowly in the area of Wei Guo and South Korea, and has not yet reached Hangu Pass, which is still safe.The Mohists all foresaw that the demise of the Qin State was inevitable, but they did not expect it to be so soon.In fact, they wanted to rush to Guanzhong in a hurry, and one of the important purposes was to protect Ziying.
Back then in Shangjun, they failed to protect Fusu well, so that he died in vain, which has always been an indelible scar in the hearts of Zhong Yin and others.What is even more frustrating is that the young son Ziying, who worked hard in the past, only rescued Ziye, but Ziying was intercepted by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's people in Xianyang. Mr. Fusu, who is so kind to know you.
Fortunately, although Ziying was arrested in Xianyang, Zhao Gao still put him under house arrest and did not kill him because he was the eldest grandson of the first emperor, and he was afraid of adverse effects from various aspects.For this reason, Zhong Yin and the others always felt afraid. If Ziying really died, how could they meet Fusu in the underground after death?
So after such a thing happened once, there must never be a second time. Now that Ziying is in danger again, he must not repeat this mistake.The annihilation of Qin cannot be prevented, but the flesh and blood of Mr. Fusu must be preserved.
So they hurried and hurried, and they had to take small roads to avoid the arrogant coalition forces of the princes of the six countries along the way. Even so, it was still a step too late.Wuguan surrendered without a fight, and Qin's strongest defense fell like this. How can there be any danger to defend the plains along the way in Guanzhong?The army of the six eastern countries entered Guanzhong much faster than everyone in the group imagined.
What they didn't expect the most was that Ziying didn't make any resistance in Xian and Yangcheng, the last strong barrier.He took the initiative to go out of the city and surrender to Liu Bang. Others may not understand, but Zhong Yin, the giant son of the Mozhe Dengling faction, did.
He knew that Ziying's reaction was due to his father's influence as well as his own.Since absorbing some of the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius, their school of Mohist Deng Ling has formed a family of its own, hoping that a benevolent lord will appear.
Looking at the situation in the world at that time, Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, was undoubtedly the most suitable, so they naturally found Fusu and worshiped him as the door. accomplish.
Fusu is kind and benevolent, the two families can be said to hit it off and have a tacit understanding.Since then, Fusu has been influenced by them more and more love. As Fusu's eldest son, Ziying can be said to have been influenced by his ears and eyes from the bottom up, needless to say the subtle influence.
Ziying can say that his father, Fusu, was more kind and kind, and thus gained the recognition of a well-known virtuous person in Guanzhong.It can be seen from his voluntary surrender to Liu Bang that he must be afraid that the people in Guanzhong will suffer because of this after the war.Now that failure is doomed, there is no need for fearless sacrifices.
At this moment, for them, the safety of their baby is the most important thing.At first Liu Bang was able to treat him kindly, and he was not too difficult.But now that it was in Xiang Yu's hands, they couldn't help but sweat, and at the same time secretly made a decision that Ziying must be rescued as soon as possible!
(End of this chapter)
Between Bashang and Hongmen, somewhere in the dark woods, the soft winter sun shines through the shadows of the trees, revealing a glimmer of light.A bonfire may have been burning all night, the flames gradually dimmed, and the slowly floating flames completely disappeared, almost extinguished.There are only a few pieces of ashes that are about to burn out, and a faint blue smoke is floating in the woods, gradually dissipating with the wind, until it disappears completely.
The usually quiet and desolate woods are very lively today, and a mysterious figure has entered at some point.On the edge of the woods, a group of capable warriors held swords and patrolled back and forth, carefully observing the surrounding environment.It formed a large circle with a radius of about ten feet, and there was a master who made them swear their allegiance to the death, and they had to be carefully guarded.
Beside the fire in the big circle, a white-haired old man walked back and forth a little restlessly, maybe his eyes fell on the small intersection hidden in the bushes in the distance.From his fidgeting and eager eyes, it can be seen that he is waiting for someone or some news.For the old man, it is best to be a person, and it is best to come back with two people.If it's just one person, or just news, it's probably only disappointing news!
Beside the gradually extinguished bonfire, there was still a man with a long beard sitting, but he was already approaching his sixtieth year.In contrast, he is much calmer than the white-haired old man, but it doesn't mean that his psychological quality is much stronger.Mainly, the white-haired old man has more family concerns, and the so-called caring is chaotic, so that it is difficult to calm down.
"Brother Liao, do you think you will succeed today?" The white-haired old man was walking back and forth with a heavy heart, as if he was suffering all the time. After holding back for a long time, he finally couldn't help asking.
The long-bearded man sitting beside the ashes said: "Xiang Yu's invitation will be delivered today, Liu Bang will naturally panic when he receives the reminder, and his main thoughts will be on how to deal with Xiang Yu, and he will not care about other things." Things. It can be imagined that this is the most chaotic time in the Bashang barracks, and the defenses are naturally the most lax and messy. It is also the best time for us to save people. It is much easier than in Xian, Yangcheng and those days before, but ...But we can only do our best in this matter. Du Shang and the others are all well-trained masters, and they are careful and prudent in doing things. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely be able to do it well. Just wait..."
Sometimes waiting is completely tormenting, a kind of pain, at least for the current white-haired old man.The white-haired old man raised his head from time to time outside the forest, and the faint mist drifted around gently. The closer to noon, the sun's rays were still getting brighter and brighter.A heart full of worries is still hanging in the air, when no one comes back, when will it not fall.
I don't know how long I waited, a signal was issued from the outer guard, footsteps sounded, and finally it sounded.The white-haired old man couldn't help but feel excited for a while, and immediately turned to look, his eyes full of anticipation.
When seeing only one person came back, there was an indescribable disappointment in his eyes, and a powerful disappointment surfaced in his heart in an instant.The furrowed brows and the twitching corners of the mouth revealed some information that this weather-beaten old man would suffer another mental blow, a strong spiritual blow.
"Du Shang, what's the situation?" Even though he had foreseen that it would be a bad situation, the white-haired old man couldn't help but ask. Maybe the gods will have some good news, or maybe he was overthinking and scaring himself.In short, until the last moment, the white-haired old man is still unwilling and will not give up.
What came was a man in his thirties. His strong body, resolute face, and sharp and firm eyes all showed that this man was not simple.As the number one expert under the two mysterious old men and the most reliable subordinate, he is often sent to perform difficult tasks.Back then, under such heavy surveillance and strict defense, he still managed to rescue the old master.
In such a difficult situation, with some clever operations, he successfully deceived Qin Ershi Hu Hai and the traitor Zhao Gao, and also deceived the whole world.That's why people thought that the famous prime minister who was under one person and over ten thousand people was cut in half, but they didn't know that the one who was killed was only a loyal substitute who was willing to die.And that old man managed to escape from the killing and frame-up, and planned many major events some time ago, which had a lot of impact on history and the local area.However, the impact on the overall situation is limited, and it cannot achieve the magical effect of turning the tide...
This is Du Shang, a strong and alert subordinate, with a high status under his white-haired old man, just like Pu Jun is to General Yin.If it is only in terms of carrying out secret missions, it may be even worse.Du Shang has performed many important missions in the past, and he has almost never lost his defense. It is for this reason that the white-haired old man entrusted him with this difficult but extremely important mission.However, will Du Shang give him a satisfactory answer?
Du Shang walked in front of the white-haired old man, his eyes were calm but full of guilt, he knelt down in front of him with a plop, and said in a deep voice, "Master, this subordinate should be damned for not being able to rescue the king!"
At this moment, the princes of the Five Kingdoms of the East followed Xiang Yu and stationed at Hongmen of Xinfeng, and King Huai of Chu Xiong Xin was still in the palace of Pengcheng.The only one who can be called a great king still needs to be rescued is Prince Ying of Qin who just knelt on the left side of Xian and Yangdao, offered jade seals and tiger charms, and surrendered to Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei.Although the State of Qin has perished and Ziying is now a prisoner, for some people, the State of Qin will always exist in their hearts, and Ziying will always be their unique king!
"What?" There was a crisp slap in the face, and an old voice was furious, and he struggled to highlight two words. It was Li Si, the former prime minister of Qin!
Since Ziying surrendered, he has been planning to rescue his grandson, the eldest grandson of Qin Shihuang, in order to make a comeback and restore Qin State one day.However, Ziying has been closely guarded by Xia Houying sent by Liu Bang, and has never found a chance.This meeting finally had an unprecedented good time, but it missed.
Hearing the heavy news that his grandson was not rescued, how could Li Si not be angry?As for the first time he beat Du Shang, a loyal and conscientious general.
Du Shang lowered his head, silently bearing the wrath of his master's thunder.Since the Sha and Qiu coup, he has followed his master. He clearly understands his master's past experience and thoughts, and his guilt and feelings for Mr. Fusu, Mr. Ziying, and Princess Ziye.This time, he arranged to rescue Ziying by himself but failed. The old master's mood at this moment is completely understandable.
Du Shang felt this kind of pain, and even though the failure of this matter was not due to his negligence, he still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of self-blame.Hearing the old master's sad and indignant inquiry, he replied in a deep voice: "We went late, and Liu Bang took the king away first and went to Xinfeng Hongmen."
"What? Ziying was taken away by Liu Bang? He went to Hongmen?" The white-haired Li Si felt a strong shock in his heart, and it was difficult to accept such a fact.Ziying was not in Bashang's barracks at all, he had made a mistake in his prediction and missed Du Shang, a trace of guilt filled his heart, but was quickly overwhelmed by concern for Ziying's safety.
Du Shang handed over a bamboo slip and said, "This is the news from Hongmen just now!"
Li Si tremblingly stretched out his hand for help, but the bearded man beside the ashes came over and said softly, "I'll do it!" Then he took the bamboo slip, removed the wax seal on it, and started to read.Li Si lowered his hands silently and was speechless for a long time.
The long-bearded man quickly scanned the contents of the silk book, and asked, "Liu Bang rushed to Xinfeng Hongmen this morning? But he was summoned by Xiang Yu? How many people did he bring? What's unusual?" The question blurted out.
Du Shang kept his head down, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Liu Bang left early in the morning, and the people who followed him were mainly Fan Kuai and Xia Houying, and a middle-aged scholar, who followed Liu Bang, and his status Still above other generals, it should be Zhang Liang without a doubt. There are only dozens of guards accompanying him, but they are all first-class experts. There has been news from the Yan people of Xinfeng Hongmen, but there is no doubt about it.”
"At that time, seeing Liu Bang's generals were sending Liu Bang away at the gate of the camp, his subordinates took the opportunity to sneak into the camp and wanted to rescue the king, but they had not found any trace of the king. Later, when they returned, they received news from Hongmen, so they Knowing that the king was taken away by Liu Bang. Today our attention is mainly on the camp where the king lives temporarily in the back camp, and we also observed secretly. There is no figure of the king among the accompanying personnel, but..." Speaking of this, Du Shang inevitably A little frustrated.
Du Shang didn't know that when Liu Bang and Zhang Liang discussed in the middle of the night and decided to take Ziying to the Hongmen, Ziying himself had already been quietly taken away by Zhou Bo.They tried to rescue Ziying in Xianyang and Yang several times. Although they didn't reveal their whereabouts obviously, there were inevitably some disturbances. Liu Bang was naturally aware of it, so he took precautions.What's more, Zhou Bo happened to be leaving first at that time, and he arranged to meet Liu Bang at any time on the way, so he took him away by the way.
"Xiang Yu's summons haven't arrived yet?" the bearded man was a little puzzled.
Du Shang replied in an unchanging tone: "Yes, according to the news from Hongmen, Liu Bang took the initiative to rush there before Xiang Yu sent a messenger. There was a lot of trouble in the camp of the allied princes at Hongmen in Xinfeng. The sensation. As for other abnormalities, I haven't noticed it yet, and my subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on the situation at Xinfeng Hongmen..."
"By the way, it's not just that...and..." Du Shang had already shut up, but suddenly remembered something.
"What else?" Li Si, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, his mental state had not yet recovered.
"Liu Bang not only brought the king, but also sent something..."
Before Du Shang could say anything, the bearded man spat out word by word: "Chuan-Guo-Yu-Xi!"
The extraordinarily special tone shocked Du Shang, and he replied respectfully: "I got the news from Xinfeng Hongmen, it is said that Liu Bang not only brought the king there, but also dedicated the jade seal of my Great Qin Dynasty to Xiang Yu!"
"Chuan Guo Yuxi?" Li Si stood there and sneered, with a strange expression on his face, he silently waved his hand.Du Shang bowed his head and nodded, then turned and left. He didn't feel like he was being pardoned, and his emotions remained the same from beginning to end.
The bearded man stood beside Li Si, and suddenly threw the bamboo slips into the ashes, and the ashes splashed everywhere.The pile of ashes had already been so cold that there was no spark left!
The long-bearded man said coldly: "Liu Bang is really good at making wishful thinking. He wants to get rid of the crime, but uses Ziying as a shield. It's really abominable!"
The speaker was none other than Wei Liao, the former Taiwei of the Qin State, and he only had the status and qualifications to keep pace with Li Si.
Li Si sighed softly: "After all, we were negligent. I didn't expect Liu Bang to go to see Xiang Yu so soon!" There was deep loss and self-blame in his words. If Ziying fell into Xiang Yu's hands, the difficulty of rescue would be doubled Increase.
The state of Qin has perished, even though they tried so hard to turn the tide and help the building collapse, they still failed in the end.But as long as there is a little bit of hope, they will not give up easily.As long as Ziying is still alive, with such a treasure and some strength in his hands, they still want to make a comeback, summon the support and loyalty of the people in the old land of Qin, and plot to revive Qin.
However, as soon as Liu Bang's army entered the pass, Ziying left the city and surrendered without consulting anyone.Immediately afterwards, Ziying and the children of the Qin clan all fell into Liu Bang's strict surveillance and custody, and many attempts to save them failed.
When Xiang Yu entered Hangu Pass and Liu Bang returned to the Bashang, he was anxious about it and was very busy.Li Si and Wei Liao summed up that now is the best time to save lives, who would want to fall short again.
Li Si sometimes wondered, if he made a mistake once, God would punish him like this?Why not give yourself a chance to make amends?In a flash, after pushing Daqin to the road of defeat, it is more difficult than going to heaven to pull it back.
Li Si, who used to be all-powerful and under one person and above ten thousand people, felt a strong guilt and loss in his heart, and he even had the idea of giving up.But he firmly told himself, no!Ziying is still alive, hope there is still some.No matter how difficult it is for the Hongmen army to rescue people, they must try their best.But if it still fails this time, what if Ziying is killed?Li Si didn't know that by that time, what reason would he have to support himself to live?
Wei Liao could vaguely grasp Li Si's state of mind, but he didn't speak to persuade him.At this time, any words are useless, as long as there is a way to analyze the situation and find a way to rescue Ziying, this is the best persuasion to the old man.
Wei Liao said: "Last night, I received the news that Xiang Yu was going to hold a banquet to summon Liu Bang. Liu Bang left at dawn. Could it be that he is a prophet? Recently, there have been rumors in the army of the Hongmen princes that Liu Bang was going to take his son as his son." As a prime minister, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, Xiang Yu will definitely seize this opportunity and use this as an excuse to blame Liu Bang. And Liu Bang took Ziying to Hongmen this morning, obviously wanting to use facts to prove that he is Innocent, let the rumors prove self-defeating. Then the problem arises..."
Li Si collected his mind, nodded and said: "This means that Liu Bang got the news last night."
Wei Liao nodded: "It seems that Liu Bang has someone beside Xiang Yu, and he tipped off the news last night!"
At this time, they didn't think that it was General Yin and Xiang Bo who were "internal traitors", because they themselves bought a general of Yan State, so they got the news in time...
Li Si said coldly: "It seems that Liu Bang really has some tricks. He actually placed someone beside Xiang Yu early on, but... even if he got the news now, so what if he had prepared in advance? Can Xiang Yu let him go? Especially that one The scheming Fan Zeng wants to kill him wholeheartedly, can you let him go back alive?"
Wei Liao shook his head lightly, he knew Li Si's feelings, because Liu Bang secretly took away his grandson in advance, which made the rescue plan fail.And Ziying fell into Xiang Yu's hands, alas...Since Xin'an was killed and surrendered, Xiang Yu's bloody and brutal name is known all over the world.What's more, his grandfather Xiang Yan and uncle Xiang Liang both died and were injured by the Qin people, so he may not be able to accuse Ziying of this because he holds a grudge.Therefore, Ziying's reconciliation may be more or less ominous, and it is precisely because of this that Li Si hates Xiang Yu and Liu Bang from the bottom of his heart. If Liu Bang is killed, he will only gloat...
Wei Liao said: "Not necessarily. In the past, maybe death was inevitable, but now that we have arrived first, in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a clear conscience and an expression of active submission. Maybe Xiang Yu himself thinks so, and the possibility of wanting to kill again It's not big, and it's not easy to handle."
"In the past, Liu Bang could still use the excuse that Liu Bang wanted to call himself the king of Guanzhong, and questioned Liu Bang on the basis of Ziying as his crime. Speaking up, it belonged to Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu didn't dare to shamelessly accuse King Huai of Chu of the agreement. Now that Ziying is handed over to Xiang Yu, the charge of using the Qin people as prime minister has been cleared up. And..."
Wei Liao continued: "Furthermore, Liu Bang was not greedy or reluctant, so he generously handed over the Imperial Seal to Xiang Yu. It was the beloved item of His Majesty the First Emperor, symbolizing the supreme power and unprecedented submission in the world. Naturally, Xiang Yu I can't put it down, maybe I've forgotten about Liu Bang's incident. Liu Bang's move is also considered clever..."
After all, Li Si is a person who has gone through countless storms, struggled for a long time in the strong sadness and loss, calmed down a lot.Shen Sheng said: "What you are saying is that this move can only temporarily ease Xiang Yu's vigilance, but cannot completely calm Xiang Yu's determination to kill people. Besides, there is Fan Zeng who is constantly jumping around, and Liu Bang is still in danger. If I add A fire, Liu Bang... hum!"
My mind calmed down, but the strong hatred in my heart still could not be settled, and a strong killing intent surged towards Liu Bang...
Wei Liao sighed softly, and asked: "What does Li Xiang mean?" He has not yet grasped Li Si's meaning clearly.
Li Si explained: "Liu Bang pretended to be clever and gave the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to Xiang Yu, hoping to use it to claim credit and save his life. It happens that Xiang Yu also loves it very much. If he now knows that the Jade Seal is fake, what do you think Xiang Yu will think?"
Wei Liao suddenly remembered that there are now two imperial seals in this world, it seems that Li Si was really angry this time...
Li Si sneered and said: "'Ordered by heaven, long life will last forever', these eight characters were written by the old man himself. No one in this world is more familiar with the Chuan Guo Yuxi than the old man, and only the old man knows that there are two pieces of the Chuan Guo Yuxi. , Only I can distinguish the extremely subtle differences. Now I don’t mind sharing this secret with Xiang Yu, and let him go and appraise it to see if the Chuan Guo Yuxi in his hand is real or not?”
After a slight pause, Li Si continued: "In this world, only His Majesty the First Emperor and his true successors can have it. This jade seal symbolizes the destiny, supreme power and wealth of the world. No one else can get their hands on it. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao used a fake one, and Xiang Yu still got a fake one..."
It goes without saying that what would happen if Xiang Yu found out that the jade seal Liu Bang dedicated to him was a fake?Would he think that this jade seal had been dropped from Qin Ershi Hu Hai when he was in power?Would he think that it was Ziying himself who exchanged the fake for the real when he offered the jade seal?Or do you firmly believe that Liu Bang, who handed over the object to himself, did something wrong?
The first possibility, Xiang Yu would not think about it at all, of course, almost everyone in the world would not suspect that Qin Ershi Hu Hai has used it for several years, and there is a clever traitor Zhao Gao by his side, if Yuxi is replaced It's gone, can't you find it?Obviously not.
The second possibility, Xiang Yu might be suspicious, but what would Ziying do if he dropped Bao Yuxi?I have surrendered, my body has been guarded, and I may be killed at any time.The two characters and the clans far and near of Qin State were all guarded.Does Yuxi have any meaning to Qin people?
Would Ziying who chose to surrender without any resistance still do these boring things?Of course, Xiang Yu may have a slight suspicion in his heart that is not easy to detect, which becomes another excuse or psychological weight to kill Ziying.
Then the third type is that Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, manipulated the fake and confused the real.The Jade Seal of Chuanguo has such a special meaning that anyone would want to keep it for himself!Liu Bangneng couldn't help but enter Guanzhong first, which shows that he is ambitious. Will he not be tempted to see such treasures as Chuanguo Yuxi?
At this moment, he was afraid of Xiang Yu's power and had to hand it over, but it is also possible that Liu Bang was reluctant.What's more, none of them are from Qin State. Has anyone seen Chuan Guo Yuxi before?Even if it is really a similar fake, it is very possible.
How could Xiang Yu be willing to be deceived by such an important treasure?What's more, the Chuanguo Yuxi represents many special meanings. If Liu Bang has some intentions, taking this thing out one day in the future can also cause harm to one party.Therefore, Xiang Yu absolutely cannot tolerate Liu Bang using a fake jade seal to deceive himself.
At that time, Xiang Yu's killing intent that he couldn't bear to be silent will resurface in his heart again, and his attention and vigilance to Liu Bang will resume again.Coupled with Fan Yafu's obstruction, how could Xiang Yu, who was furious, not kill Liu Bang?
Li Si smiled and said, "Give Xiang Yu a gift! He will definitely thank us then."
Wei Liao smiled lightly, and the previous heavy and sad atmosphere eased a lot.
Li Si said: "Xiang Yu will kill Liu Bang as always. I don't believe that Liu Bang will be unprepared when he gets the news before. Maybe he has already arranged an internal response in the camp of the allied princes in Hongmen. It is likely that somewhere other than Xinfeng There will still be people coming to meet him, and there will be chaos in Hongmen's barracks. At that time, we will have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and find a way to sneak into Hongmen's camp, let the Yan countryman respond, and find a way to rescue Ziying is here."
In the final analysis, Li Si's greatest wish is to rescue his grandson Ying, so as to revive Qin State again.This desire is too strong, many things are serving his idea!But this time can be said to be truly the last chance. If Ziying cannot be rescued this time, what Ziying will face is probably death.
According to Xiang Yu's temper, who would dare to kill?Even if it was only a short 46 days, Ziying still bears the title of King Qin and is an enemy chief after all.Even if Ziying is the eldest son of Fusu, even if he is known as a virtuous man, even if he has no faults, it is difficult for Xiang Yu to tolerate him.What's more, the existence of the old master of such an enemy country will leave a possibility of restoration and threaten his own rule, let alone stay.This has always been the case in all dynasties of history, Ziying is destined to die, and the Qin clan in Xian and Yang will not be spared, leaving no seeds of resurgence for Qin...
The real last chance is related to the life and death of the grandson, and it is also related to the last symbol of Qin's existence.Li Si felt that the pressure in his heart was extremely heavy, almost making him unable to breathe.But now my old bones can't fall down, I have to persevere...
Li Si coughed lightly, and said: "If Xiang Yu can take advantage of the situation and kill Liu Bang, it will be regarded as revenge. If he escapes by chance, let him fight with Xiang Yu, and it is best for both sides to suffer. They were the ones who destroyed Daqin, and if Ziying risked his life because of something wrong with them, I will definitely retaliate at all costs, and I will definitely make them pay a painful price."
His old body trembled endlessly, and his pale beard and hair fluttered in the wind, making no one dare to underestimate the majesty and feasibility of his words.At this moment, he seems to have regained the powerful aura of standing under the throne of the Xian and Yang palaces, following Qin Shihuang Yingzheng to despise the world.
Wei Liao looked at Li Si's back, shook his head slightly, his eyes were complicated and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Si called Du Shang over, confessed a few words softly, showing a deep expression.His eyes fell on Xinfeng Hongmen, who was looking eastward, where was his grandson, is he okay?
Ziying has spent these days under Liu Bang's house arrest. In fact, when Liu Bang captured Wuguan, Lan and Tian, and approached Xian and Yangcheng, when he decided to surrender to protect the safety of the people in Guanzhong, he He held the belief that he must die...
Liu Bang was quite polite, he just took care of himself, and greeted him with food and drink every day, without the slightest embarrassment.Ziying was under house arrest in the military camp, not knowing what was going on outside. He even imagined that Liu Bang had already taken control of Guanzhong now... Is he treating the people in Guanzhong well?Is your choice correct?
In a life isolated from the world, Ziying doesn't know anything, and sometimes feels a little strange. Of course, these only perceptions are only learned through "moving".That day, he was hurriedly moved out of Xian and Yangcheng, and Ziying didn't know where he came to.He just listened to the cold wind blowing every night, and the expanse that he occasionally saw through the crack of the door. This place should be some plain, maybe Bashang?As the prince and grandson of Qin, he is quite familiar with Guanzhong.
However, at dawn today, a general under Peigong Liu Bang suddenly led his troops into his camp. Ziying thought that the leading general seemed to be Zhou Bo, who was Liu Peigong's confidant.Zhou Bo treated himself fairly politely, he only said that he wanted to invite himself out again, and then he was taken out and put into a carriage.
It's nice to say it's polite, but Zhou Bo's behavior today can only be said to be not very rude.As for being polite, it was very different from the past, Ziying didn't know why this happened, and wondered what happened?
Ziying didn't know when Xiang Yu entered Hangu Pass, nor did he know that Liu Bang was being pushed into a difficult situation recently, and he couldn't guess what he was about to face?Where will the destination be?I don't even know that I offended Liu Bang's soldiers unknowingly.
Because of Cao Wushang's informant, everyone who Zhou Bo casually proposed to change that day has attracted attention, and the fact that Ziying is a prime minister has also become Pei Gong Liu Bang's biggest crime.After hearing the news, Zhou Bo felt very depressed, because what he said casually was taken out of context by the traitor and reported by hearsay. Zhou Bo felt guilty.
The affection she had for Ziying suddenly faded away, and she couldn't help complaining in her heart.So much so that when they came to greet him today, they didn't have a good face, and the soldiers under him acted according to the general's face, and they were naturally negligent. Poor Ziying didn't know how he had provoked others.
All the way forward, it was inexplicably drawn like a military camp, and then it was handed over to some soldiers.Ziying only felt that his treatment and situation had suddenly changed greatly. Compared with Zhou Bo's polite way of treating him before, the soldiers of these people are simply rude and excessive.
After the conversation of the soldiers, Ziying realized that he had fallen into Xiang Yu's hands, and that it was the murderous demon king!The memory of Xin'an's killing and surrender is still deep, which is an important reason why Ziying chose to surrender to Peigong Liu Bang.
Unexpectedly, he still fell into his hands after tossing and turning. It can be seen that Liu Bang must have encountered some strong pressure and did so as a last resort.Ziying deeply felt that this fear was really coming to an end, and a heavy breath of death rushed over his face, making people feel pressured.
It doesn't matter if he dies, the key is the people in Guanzhong, this is what Ziying is most worried about now.I have fallen into Xiang Yu's hands, which means that Liu Bang has succumbed to Xiang Yu, so the title of King of Guanzhong that I gave Liu Bang so hard has still fallen into Xiang Yu's hands.It seems that I am a bit too wishful thinking. I wanted to choose a good king for the people in Guanzhong, so that the people in the old land of Qin would suffer less, but now everything has become a bamboo basket.When Xiang Yu entered the Guanzhong, the great strength after the Battle of Julu caught his attention. The cruelty of Xin'an's killing and surrender came to his mind one by one. Ziying couldn't help worrying whether the people in Guanzhong would suffer disaster. ?
Ziying stood at the door of the imprisoned tent, looking at the outside world through a gap, feeling more and more heavy.Maybe my life is about to end and I am about to leave this beautiful world. Even if there are too many unwillingness and reluctance, life is always so helpless.The only hope now is to meet Xiang Yu, and hope that he can treat the people in Guanzhong well. I wonder if he can win?Looking at the sky outside, Ziying couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and there was a trace of wet water in his eyes... He didn't know that there were many people outside the camp who were fighting for their lives...
In addition to Li Si and Wei Liao, there is another group of people who have been paying attention to Ziying, and that is Ziye, the Mo family who is next to Young Master Fusu and Fusu's daughter, Ziying's own sister.
Recently, the forest near Hongmen has always been extremely lively. First, Zhou Bo led two thousand elite soldiers to secretly arrange somewhere, waiting to meet Pei Gong Liu Bang who escaped from Hongmen at any time.In order to rescue Ziying, Li Si and Wei Liao also stayed between Bashang and Xinfeng Hongmen, ready to attack at any time.Somewhere in the woods to the east of Hongmen, a group of people were also extremely anxious.
"Eldest brother, you said that brother Ziying was brought into Xiang Yu's Hongmen camp?" The person who spoke was the noble woman with a bit of wild beauty in the northwest, the eldest daughter of Fusu, Ziying's compatriot sister, and her identity Honorable Ying Ziye.
A man of about 40 years old came over with a particularly heavy expression, looked at Ying Ziye, and said softly: "Yes, tonight Peigong Liu Bang suddenly brought Ziying into the camp of the allied princes in Xiang Yu's Xinfeng Hongmen. Handing over Young Master Ziying to Xiang Yu has already spread."
As for Ziying, these old people who followed Fusu have always been called sons.
When Ziye heard the news, his eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Xiang Yu is cruel and ruthless. He is a demon king who kills without blinking an eye. Isn't it very dangerous for brother Ziying to fall into his hands?" There was already a bit of sobbing in the middle.
It's no wonder that after the death of the first emperor Yingzheng, Qin II Hu Hai and the traitor Zhao Gao, together with their good grandfather Li Si, tampered with the imperial edict, made Hu Hai the second emperor, and even killed their parents.At that time, master Zhong Yin cooperated with a group of brothers and uncle Li You, and only rescued himself.He grew up with him, and his brother Ziying, who had a deep affection, fell into the hands of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and they have not seen each other for several years since then.
And I was taken to Sanchuan County by my uncle Li You to be raised. At that time, my uncle was your only relative, but I was killed by Xiang Yu in Yongqiu.This incident once made the beautiful princess of Qin extremely sad, and her spirit was also greatly shocked. She once rushed into Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, trying to kill Xiang Yu to avenge her uncle Li You.
It was at that time that I was lucky enough to meet General Shao and Xinghou Yin, and thought that the water cutoff was due to Meng Tian's sword in the past, and his mutual friend Fan Yilan.But speaking of it, Zi Yechang felt very lucky. After that incident, he was often terrified. If he hadn't met Yin Xu and rushed into Xiang Yu's mansion by himself, not only would he not be able to take revenge, but he would have lost his life and let down his uncle. A deep love.
There are more than these things that make him happy, and he also met Yin Xu... he can be regarded as a friend!Ying Ziye could only temporarily determine this in his heart.Thinking of it, Yin Xu was pretty good, he found himself in Pengcheng, so he let himself go.
Later, in order to bury my uncle, I took risks to do dirty work that no one else was willing to do.What is even more touching is that this person has a delicate mind and is very considerate of others. He still clearly remembers that night by the river outside Shangcai City, he specially found a small house for himself to give him time to bid farewell to his uncle. Over time, she remembered this kindness in her heart and never dared to forget it.
He often thinks of Yin Xu's handsome face, his handsome figure holding the broken water, and that extraordinarily attractive face, the girl's heart has been pounding at some point.He remembered that night in the thatched hut by the river, Yin Xu had a heart-to-heart conversation with himself, enlightening and comforting himself, and more importantly, he was always behaved and had no extravagant thoughts.At that time, I was only thinking about sadness, and I didn't think about these things at all, and I didn't notice them until later.
The uncle left just like that, and the only family member left in the world was his elder brother Ziying. However, he was kept under house arrest by Zhao Gao, under strict guard and supervision, so that there was no chance or possibility to meet each other.
Until a few days ago, when I was hiding in Sanchuan County, I heard that Ziying's brother had killed Zhao Gao and ascended to the throne of King Qin that should have belonged to his father.Not to mention how happy Ying Ziye was at that time, he clapped his little hands and prayed secretly, telling his father, mother and uncle in the sky that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
At that time, Ying Ziye also thought that there was hope for the Qin State, and was very excited about it. More importantly, he thought that he could see his dear brother Ziying immediately, which was the happiest thing for people.It can be said that after the family accident, what Ying Ziye cares most about is family affection and the warmth of home.For her at this moment, Ziying is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
So she and a group of brothers and sisters rushed to the capital of Guanzhong. On the one hand, she wanted to see her brother Ziying as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she also led people to help her brother. Most of the official officials are lackeys of Qin II Emperor Hu Hai and the traitor Zhao Gao. Brother Ziying must be short of reliable talents and manpower.
And the master Zhong Yin beside him is a giant of the Mo family, a master of masters, Deng Ling's Mo family is not lacking in martial arts masters, and there are also many learned Confucian advisers.These people were in Shangjun back then, and they followed their father because they wanted to realize some academic concepts and strategies for governing the country.
As a result, his father was killed, and now his elder brother has finally ascended to the throne, and he can finally fulfill his father's wish back then.Ziye was very happy in his heart. He never noticed that his master, Mr. Zhong Yin, and some people of insight in Mohist were worried all the time.
Ying Ziye, who was excited, seemed to have forgotten the dilapidated situation of Qin State. Master Zhong Yin and some brothers who were outside the situation were unwilling to shatter Ziye's dream prematurely, so they never told her the truth. I want her to have a few more happy days.At least it would be good for her to meet her elder brother Ziying.
At that time, Liu Bang was still outside Wuguan, and he hesitated because of Xiang Yu's worries.Xiang Yu is still traveling slowly in the area of Wei Guo and South Korea, and has not yet reached Hangu Pass, which is still safe.The Mohists all foresaw that the demise of the Qin State was inevitable, but they did not expect it to be so soon.In fact, they wanted to rush to Guanzhong in a hurry, and one of the important purposes was to protect Ziying.
Back then in Shangjun, they failed to protect Fusu well, so that he died in vain, which has always been an indelible scar in the hearts of Zhong Yin and others.What is even more frustrating is that the young son Ziying, who worked hard in the past, only rescued Ziye, but Ziying was intercepted by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's people in Xianyang. Mr. Fusu, who is so kind to know you.
Fortunately, although Ziying was arrested in Xianyang, Zhao Gao still put him under house arrest and did not kill him because he was the eldest grandson of the first emperor, and he was afraid of adverse effects from various aspects.For this reason, Zhong Yin and the others always felt afraid. If Ziying really died, how could they meet Fusu in the underground after death?
So after such a thing happened once, there must never be a second time. Now that Ziying is in danger again, he must not repeat this mistake.The annihilation of Qin cannot be prevented, but the flesh and blood of Mr. Fusu must be preserved.
So they hurried and hurried, and they had to take small roads to avoid the arrogant coalition forces of the princes of the six countries along the way. Even so, it was still a step too late.Wuguan surrendered without a fight, and Qin's strongest defense fell like this. How can there be any danger to defend the plains along the way in Guanzhong?The army of the six eastern countries entered Guanzhong much faster than everyone in the group imagined.
What they didn't expect the most was that Ziying didn't make any resistance in Xian and Yangcheng, the last strong barrier.He took the initiative to go out of the city and surrender to Liu Bang. Others may not understand, but Zhong Yin, the giant son of the Mozhe Dengling faction, did.
He knew that Ziying's reaction was due to his father's influence as well as his own.Since absorbing some of the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius, their school of Mohist Deng Ling has formed a family of its own, hoping that a benevolent lord will appear.
Looking at the situation in the world at that time, Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, was undoubtedly the most suitable, so they naturally found Fusu and worshiped him as the door. accomplish.
Fusu is kind and benevolent, the two families can be said to hit it off and have a tacit understanding.Since then, Fusu has been influenced by them more and more love. As Fusu's eldest son, Ziying can be said to have been influenced by his ears and eyes from the bottom up, needless to say the subtle influence.
Ziying can say that his father, Fusu, was more kind and kind, and thus gained the recognition of a well-known virtuous person in Guanzhong.It can be seen from his voluntary surrender to Liu Bang that he must be afraid that the people in Guanzhong will suffer because of this after the war.Now that failure is doomed, there is no need for fearless sacrifices.
At this moment, for them, the safety of their baby is the most important thing.At first Liu Bang was able to treat him kindly, and he was not too difficult.But now that it was in Xiang Yu's hands, they couldn't help but sweat, and at the same time secretly made a decision that Ziying must be rescued as soon as possible!
