Chapter 16: Pacify Guanzhong

'Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles', Zhang Han suddenly rebelled, killed Li Xiu, Zheng Bo and surrendered to Fusu in a few days, spread throughout Guanzhong like wings, and suddenly Guanzhong was in a big uproar, and the reactions in the mountains and villages were different: for those corrupt officials and slanders who enjoyed high positions and were fishing, this was a disaster, and it was not too late, and they couldn't help but panic all day; for those upright court officials, the country could finally see the light of revival from the brink of collapse, which was a joy, and it could not help but step up activities in secret; and when people, whose lives have been getting more and more miserable in recent years, heard that Fusu was about to enter Guanzhong, they couldn't help but look forward to their former wise eldest son Wu Anjun, and today's new Qin emperor rescued them from the fire as soon as possible.

In just a few days, the situation in Guanzhong, which was originally considered smooth, suddenly changed dramatically: the Xianyang government orders were simply a piece of waste paper, and no one paid attention to them. In some counties near Hangu and Tongguan, officials and soldiers fled almost in one day; most of the officials who sent to recruit soldiers and recruit grain were gone forever, and they all fled; even the Ying clans, who still had some forces in Xianyang, could not help but step up their activities in secret, preparing to support Fusu to enter the capital, and to disobey Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's orders; even the common people were sharpening their knives at home, one was preparing to welcome the Fusu army in a pot of food, and the other was planning to calculate the general account with the corrupt officials and historians who were usually fish and meat.

Indeed, even fools can see that Fusu, who has 600,000 elite soldiers, has been scattered in Guanzhong, which is short of soldiers. Who can not make plans for his life and future?

Guanzhong is like a huge bomb that has been lit, and it may burst out with huge power to destroy all filth at any time.

In the evening, in Xianyang City.

The street was quiet, and few people walked around, and even the doors in front of the brothels that were busy in the past were deserted. The entire Xianyang City was so deserted that there were almost only some debris flying around in the cold wind, without a trace of vitality, showing a scene of disaster. Occasionally, the patrol officers and soldiers passing by the street looked dejected and listless, which made the atmosphere look even more depressed and helpless!

There were still the tall buildings and beautiful gardens in Zhao Gao's prime minister's mansion, but there was also an atmosphere of restlessness among the servants coming and going. Many people were so dazed that they even forgot to light the lights in some places.

In Zhao Gao's secret room, Zhao Gao, Li Si and Yan Le, who were sitting cross-legged, looked dead and speechless.

Zhao Gao, who was originally proud and had a rosy face, could not tell that he was fifty-year-old. He said that he was in his thirties and would believe that anyone believed him, but just after the news of Zhang Han's rebellion reached Xianyang, Zhao Gao was as if he had been thirty years old in just two or three days: his scalp on the mane on his forehead turned white, and his eyes were covered with thin wrinkles, and his spirit was extremely decadent. Even his eyes, which were so vicious and terrifyingly vicious that he lost their anger like a dead fish eye!

Li Si was more sad than death. His eldest son died at the hands of Fusu, and his second son died at the hands of Zhang Han. After his old age, the great pain caused by the white-haired man to send a black-haired man made Li Si, who was already in his sixties, feel aura in his late twilight moment: his body was hunched, his mane was white, his eyes were unconscious, and his spirit was distracted!

Yan Le's expression was different from Zhao Gao and Li Si. He was still very young, only in his thirties. Although he was a little flattering, he was not bad. But at this time, with the sense of crisis brought about by the collapse of his backer, Yan Le felt a heart-wrenching fear. He knew that with his usual crimes, Fusu would not chop him up to eighteen pieces, so when he thought of the upcoming tragedy, the muscles on his face could not help but tremble slightly. His originally flattering eyes had no other charm except fear.

Zhao Gao is desperate, Li Si is in a twilight situation, and Yan Le is afraid. This is the most true portrayal of the three treacherous parties at present!

Looking at Zhao Gao, Li Si was silent. Yan Le was anxious and said with a sad face: "Father, Lord Li, you are saying something, then Fusu is about to come here!"

Li Si only feels that everything he has been trying to achieve for decades is empty: Yes, his son has died and he has been in a state of impending defeat. What else can I say? Thinking about the future he will be placed on the pillar of shame in history and be scolded by all generations, Li Si couldn't help but feel frightened and desperate.

"What else can you do? Leave it to fate!" Li Si closed his eyes in pain, regretting that he had no intention of struggling and was determined to die!

"Father, I don't want to die. You should think of a solution!" Yan Le couldn't help but be scared to death when he saw Li Si accepting his life, and cried and begged Zhao Gao again.

Zhao Gao opened the dead fish bubble-like eyes weakly and looked at Yan Le, who looked frightened. He suddenly felt a little disgusted with this 'fake' he liked very much on weekdays, and said coldly: "What else can I do? The Guanzhong army has already drawn all the transfers to Zhang Han. Now, except for Xianyang, there are 50,000 guards and the Hu Ben Army in China, there are no more soldiers available, so I can only wait for death!"

"No, no, no, I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Yan Le seemed very scared and murmured to himself madly. Suddenly, Yan Le seemed to grab a life-saving straw and said, "By the way, father, aren't there still more than 100,000 prisoners in Guandong on the construction site of Mount Li and Afang Palace? If they ask them to fight Fusu, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!"

Zhao Gao looked at the fake with some amusement and smiled bitterly: "You are crazy, only those tens of thousands of half-starved Guandong prisoners, who have no weapons and have not been trained to fight, and even Fusu can't stop it for a long time. What's the use? What's more, in this situation, they will be grateful if they don't rebel with Fusu. You still expect them to kill the enemy! Maybe once you arrive on the battlefield, you will turn against each other and lead Fusu to attack the city. It's useless!"

Yan Le was stunned this time, with a dull look on his face. Due to his fear of death, his whole body became trembling!

"Then, then, father, I, let's run away, maybe there is still a way out!" Yan Le struggled desperately to find a way out. "Nonsense!" Zhao Gao suddenly became furious and scared Yan Le: "Escape, where can you escape? Sooner or later, the world belongs to Fusu. Can we escape his pursuit?? Instead of being caught and executed cruelly in the future, it is better to choose the most enjoyable way to die!"

Yan Le was completely desperate this time, and his upper and lower teeth fought: "No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" The last sentence was so loud that he screamed!

Zhao Gao sighed, and suddenly remembered what the First Emperor said before his death: "Zhao Gao, if you want to be an emperor, you really laugh to death! You are a conferred slave, and you are not fully equipped, why should you be an emperor? I tell you that you will be my slave for the rest of your life, and you can't turn over because you are a conferred slave. Will the people in the world submit to you?... My son Fusu will sooner or later break you up...', this vicious curse circling violently in Zhao Gao's ears, and the sound became louder and louder. Zhao Gao trembled in pain and despair!

"Execute all the families of Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi!" Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth!

After obtaining a large amount of food, grass and supplies transported from Bashu through Luoyang, nearly 600,000 New Qin troops were ordered by Fusu to rise up and rushed towards Tongguan.

Sun Li, the guard of Tongguan who was frightened, dared not resist and surrendered to Xianguan. At this point, the Guanzhong Plain was already placed in front of the New Qin army like a naked beauty.

...

On this day, Fusu's army entered Huayin County. The huge army formed by 600,000 troops was densely packed with endless horizons. The huge power seemed to change the color of the world. Unfortunately, the army rushed to Huayin City with great momentum, but the officials and soldiers in the city had already escaped completely, leaving only the people of Guanzhong who came to work hard.

Amid the cheers of the people from the heart, Fusu drove into Huayin City in a huge black chariot pulled by six black horses. He immediately saw Fusu's beautiful Guanzhong people shouted long live. Many people were so excited that they burst into tears: Finally, I hope you are back!

The welcome people blocked the streets. Fusu's huge black imperial chariot was simply unable to move forward, and it slowly moved forward on the street like a snail. If it weren't for the New Qin army soldiers on both sides who were alert to block the excited people on the roadside, Fusu's imperial chariot would have been surrounded by enthusiasm all day long.

Fusu sat on the open chariot, waved to the people frequently and greeted them with a smile. Not long after, his face became sore and his hands were numb. In the end, Fusu could no longer wave his hands and could only respond to the overly enthusiastic people with a distorted smile.

...

In the Huayin County Office, which was temporarily avoided as Fusu's palace, Fusu rubbed his already stiff facial muscles and said painfully: "Being an emperor is really a hard job! Fortunately, this is a small county town. If I arrive in Xianyang, I'm afraid my face will be cramped. These people are too enthusiastic!"

"Hahaha..." The civil and military officials laughed gloatingly and squeezed each other.

Zhang Liangle said: "Your Majesty is deeply loved by the people and has the support of all the people. That is a good thing that many people cannot ask for. If Your Majesty thinks it is suffering, wouldn't it be jealous of the people in the world!" Everyone laughed again.

Ying Bu also smiled and said, "With Your Majesty's people's hope in Guanzhong, once you break through Hangu, you will respond in the future and be unstoppable. I think we can get down in Xianyang City in ten days!" "Maybe seven days will be enough!" "Almost, we will break through Xianyang in three more days, and we can celebrate in Xianyang City in ten days!"... Everyone was very optimistic.

At this moment, a rebuke suddenly reported from outside the tent: "Report to Your Majesty, urgent news has been heard from Xianyang!"

"Oh, come on!" Fusu was very relaxed now.

The scammer looked at Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi, and said carefully: "Zhao Gao ordered the family of General Zhang Han, General Sima Xin and General Dong Yi to be killed on the execution ground and abandoned the body in the wild. However, the bodies of the three generals' families that night were not taken away by anyone. I guess the loyal and righteous people in the court could not bear to see this tragic situation and wanted to do it!"

"Ah!" Zhang Han stood up suddenly, his body shaking, and suddenly he was furious: "Zhao Gao, you eggless castrator, Zhang is irreconcilable with you!" At this time, Sima Xin and Dong Yi also jumped up, and the pain was so heartbroken that he was heartbroken and tears fell like rain.

Suddenly, Zhang Han was as red as a wolf. He pulled out his long sword with a "swallow" and shouted: "Zhao Gao, I want to eat your meat and drink your blood!" As he said that, he was about to break out of the tent. Sima Xin and Dong Yi were also energetic and wanted to take revenge with Zhang Han.

When Fusu saw that these three people were excited and about to lose control, he hurriedly said, "Stop the three generals quickly and don't let them mess around!" Dozens of generals in the tent rushed forward, five or seven against one person, snatched the swords of Zhang Han and the other two, and held them tightly.

But Zhang Han and the other two were like crazy lions who were enraged. They were hugged by the waist and were furious and thunderous, struggling and jumping, which made the generals sweat!

When Fusu saw that it was not good, he quickly stood up in front of Zhang Han and the other two, and suddenly bent down and bowed. In an instant, the sound of the tent that was originally as messy as a vegetable market suddenly disappeared, and even Zhang Han and the other two who were roaring like tigers just now disappeared. Suddenly, the generals reacted and knelt down quickly: "How is Your Majesty like this? I'm waiting for thousands of deaths!"

Fusu earnestly said to Zhang Han and the other two: "The families of the three generals were killed by the eunuchs of Zhao Gao, and I have to pay some responsibility. This bow is to apologize to the three generals!"

Zhang Han and the other two quickly bowed down. Zhang Han was so moved that he burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty is such a benevolent monarch! This is not your Majesty's fault. It is all done by the dog thieves of Zhao Gao. Please agree to me and others to capture Zhao Gao alive in the future, so I will let me kill this thief myself!"

Fusu said sadly: "My father was also killed by Zhao Gao's eunuch. Why don't you want to kill this thief with your hands? But I think it would be a good idea to kill Zhao Gao like this. If you can capture him alive, you will tie him to the city. Those who have enemies with this eunuch can cut their flesh and eat it. In this way, you can relieve the hatred in your heart!"

"Yes, yes, what Your Majesty said is so good! General Zhang, it's too cheap to kill the eunuch dog with one knife, so I'd better listen to your Majesty!" The generals also advised. "Okay, let Zhao Gao, the dog thief, die with thousands of swords, and this is how happy it is!" Zhang Han also said angrily.

"Get up quickly, three generals, I will send troops to Xianyang tomorrow. Zhao Gao's eunuch can't escape!" Fusu comforted.

Zhang Han and the other two vented their emotions, and they became much better, so they stood up, but they still had anger between their eyebrows and eyes.

...

The next day, Fusu rushed to Xianyang with the three generals Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi who were eager to take revenge. The three men were tying filial scarfs and furious, and they raised countless white banners, swearing to tear Zhao Gao's body.

In this way, the New Qin army was led by the sorrow army, and the whole way was unstoppable. In addition, Yun Cong, the responder actually created a miracle speed of 120 miles a day, and he killed at the city of Xianyang in just six days. This terrifying speed even shocked Fusu. You must know that it would be good for a normal army to march for 100 miles a day, and Zhang Han and others had to attack the city and capture the villages all the way. It was really a waste of their lives!

In Xianyang City, the Qinian Palace Conference Hall.

The fake emperor Hu Hai, who was only twenty years old but had a pale face and looked extremely wine-colored, sat blankly on the imperial throne and saw the sparse courtiers below in a daze.

Yesterday, after hearing the news that the Fusu soldiers were about to fall, Hu Hai panicked and quickly summoned the ministers to discuss matters with Zhao Gao. But who knew that only half of the court officials who were originally gathered together came one after another, and the rest disappeared. It seemed that either fled in sight or sued to Fusu. Of course, after discussing for a long time yesterday, there was no result.

The situation today seems to be even worse. Even less than one-third of yesterday's, there are only a dozen scattered court officials in such a large court, and they are all Zhao Gao's best friends. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao looked at each other in extreme despair.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Hu Hai was now numb and asked Zhao Gao with a sad face.

Zhao Gao said expressionlessly: "What else can I do? Let's fight with Fusu. If you can hold on for a day, it's only a day!"

One day minister said carefully: "Prime Minister, why not surrender, maybe there will be a way out!" Zhao Gao sneered: "Nothing nonsense, in Fusu's eyes, you are not full of evil deeds, and you will definitely die if you surrender! If you insist on going, I will not stop you. When Fusu beheaded, don't blame me!" The court officials were silent.

Suddenly, the sound of drums outside the city shook the sky, and the shouts of killing came like a mountain collapse and the ground was broken. It seemed that the New Qin army had begun to attack the city. The momentum was so scared that the courtiers were trembling and extremely frightened. Li Si looked calm and looked like he was willing to die.

"Prime Minister, the New Qin army has captured the city! I, I have not been the emperor enough, I don't want to die!" Hu Hai looked begging, hoping that Zhao Gao, who is very powerful in daily life, could save his life.

At this moment, a military soldier urgently reported: "Report——, Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Yang Fan, guarding the East Gate, opened the East Gate, and let the New Qin army enter the city. Now the New Qin army has been rushing into the city!"

"Ah!" Hu Hai was so scared that he collapsed on the imperial throne, his face turned ashen.

Then, another army came to report: "Your Majesty, the guards in the North City saw that the enemy attacked most of the enemy was scattered, and the North Gate had been captured by the Qin army!" Then came the bad news that the Xicheng and Nancheng had fallen one after another!

For a moment, Hu Hai was so scared that he was trembling on the imperial throne. The few court officials were also stunned: Unexpectedly, the huge Xianyang City was defeated by Fusu in a blink of an eye. It seemed that the Qin Dynasty was really exhausted!

Zhao Gao was dumbfounded and did not react at all, but lamented in his heart: "In the past, when I supported the new emperor, what a glory it was. But now it is betrayal of everyone. Does heaven really make me Zhao Gao trampled on by others for the rest of my life??"

At this moment, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing outside the palace. It seemed that the Fusu army had approached the palace. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were scared by the shouting and killing, and they all ran around in horror. Many people were still dragging heavy bags, and gold, jade, jewelry from the palace fell out of it from time to time. Even the doctor and the Hu Ben army, who violated the order in the palace, fled and even took advantage of the situation to rob. Before the new Qin army could enter the palace, the Qin palace was already in chaos and completely lost order.

A feeling of being in a desperate situation quickly climbed to the hearts of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Li Si and others, with their eyes extremely dull.

Suddenly, Yan Le, with a crooked armor and slanted into the hall, yelling in panic: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, something is wrong. Some of the Hu Ben Army has rebelled. They have opened the palace gate, and the new Qin army has entered the palace."

"What should I do?" "Escape quickly!" "Where to escape!"... More than a dozen court officials were in chaos, crying and calling their parents.

Li Si took out a small bottle from his arms calmly and smiled gently, "Crane Head Red, Crane Head Red, we are really destined to be. This is the last time I ask you!" As he said that, he poured a bottle of poisonous Crane Head Red into his mouth in one mouthful.

The severe pain came in an instant, and Li Si shouted in pain: "I regret it!" Immediately, blood was bleeding from seven orifices, and his body slowly fell down.

"Mr. Li, Lord Li!" Yan Le saw Li Si falling down and hurriedly supported him. Unfortunately, the seven orifices were bleeding and the face was clearly beyond help.

"Kill, capture Hu Hai alive! Capture Zhao Gao alive!..." The swords and soldiers were everywhere outside the Qinian Palace, and the shouts of killing were shocking, and they quickly approached.

"Oh my God!" Hu Hai was so scared that he almost urinated, and shivered his head, and was just trembling on the imperial throne. The eunuchs and palace maids standing behind him could no longer keep an eye on him. He took advantage of the opportunity when Zhao Gao stared blankly outside the hall and ran away!

For a time, there were only Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Yan Le and more than a dozen confidants of the traitors in the hall, and no more soldiers, eunuchs, or palace maids accompanied him. He was really alone and had no way out!

...

Zhang Han was very lucky today. He was ordered to lead 100,000 troops to attack the east gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as he set up a formation, he shouted at the top of his voice, and then the city guard Yang Fan opened the door and led his troops to surrender. Zhang Han was overjoyed. He drove the army and his steps were flying. Under the leadership of Yang Fan's troops, he headed straight to the palace and wanted to capture the thief first!

Along the way, the Xianyang defenders were surrendering, and except for a few stubborn resisters, they did not encounter any resistance. The common people closed their doors and closed their doors and ignored the defenders. Some of them even cheered for the New Qin army with their voices behind the doors and windows. When they saw the defenders who wanted to escape into their homes, they slammed the generals out in a mess.

The poor defenders had no way to escape in their capital.

Soon, Zhang Han led the troops to the palace before the palace. The Hu Ben Army guarding the palace city was Wang Jian, Wang Ben's old subordinate. The Wang family had been in charge of the Hu Ben Army for nearly 30 years and had a strong foundation. Although it has been controlled by Zhao Gao and others in recent years, there are still many loyal and righteous people. At this time, when they saw the New Qin army coming, some loyal and brave generals immediately led their trusted subordinates to tie white scarves to kill the remnants of Zhao Gao and lead the New Qin army into the palace.

Zhang Han was almost laughed and said: Is there no resistance all the way? He led the army straight to the Qinian Palace Conference Hall. The scattered soldiers, eunuchs and maids who were fleeing everywhere were chopped up by the momentum of the New Qin army. The corpses were suddenly spread across the board and blood flowed into a river. The courage of the Yu people broke and knelt down and surrendered.

Zhang Han refused to spend more time on these people, and just led his troops to the destination. Although Fusu said he would not allow him to kill Zhao Gao directly, he did not say that he would not allow him to beat him! At this time, Zhang Han was trying to vent his fists!

With a "touch!", Zhang Han, who was running, came to the gate of Xuyan, and kicked the door open. Looking around, it was true that the main members of the treacherous party were there, especially the Zhao Gao, who made Zhang Han angry, was standing at the top of all officials.

"Zhao Gao, you bastard, you are going to give me my wife and children, and your parents' orders!" Zhang Han held his sword and headed straight for Zhao Gao. Countless new Qin troops rushed in like a tide, and immediately pressed down his more than a dozen traitors down. Although he could not kill, he was still inevitable to use his old fist to vent his hatred!

For a moment, the sound of heavy punches in the hall was everywhere, and the traitors cried and cried, tears flowed, teeth fell off, and their faces were swollen like pig's heads!
To be continued...
