Li Si can no longer see the skylight of Xianyang Prison.

The former prime minister of Qin did not expect that he would submit memorials again and again, and the words he wrote had been cut out by Zhao Gao, and then pieced together into a confession of guilt by Li Si's deliberate treason. With this extremely "real" evidence, Hu Hai finally had the idea of ​​killing Li Si.

Li Si tied himself up in a cocoon.

I don't know that the eldest princess Ying Yushu, who is far away in the east, is trying hard to save him.

Regarding Li Yuan's Western Expedition this time, Ying Yushu's transformation from opposition to support was only one reason, that is, Li Yuan took down Hangu Pass.

After capturing Hangu Pass, the strategic situation faced by Li Yuanjun underwent fundamental changes. Originally, Li Yuan, who was trapped in Sanchuan County, was the fertile land where the old Qin people lived for generations. Here, the vast Wei River and Jing River flowed through the rich plains of more than 600 miles in Guanzhong, and the water of the river also nurtured China's splendid civilization for 5,000 years.

The Qin Dynasty and the world are under control.

In early February, Li Yuan's army was in a lightning speed and went upstream along the Wei River. The first Xiayi guards who were among them did not resist, simply surrendered to Li Yuan's army.

Neishi County, Xiayi.

Located at the easternmost end of the border between the Wei River and the Great River, from Hangu Pass to the west, on the Wei River plain, the stars of cities scattered along the river, like strings of pearls connected by silk threads.

Standing on the tall and solid Xiayi City Tower, watching the cavalry led by Luo Jia under the city galloping into the distance, Li Yuan's heart was like a ball of fire burning. Compared to frequent wars, Guandong, which regarded the Qin people as their mortal enemy, this land west of Hangu Pass is the homeland where the Qin people rest and rest.

The Qin Dynasty ruled the country with law. Within the law, the emperor also had to abide by the laws of the country. Hu Hai replaced the law with imperial power and arrested ministers at will with speculation and without evidence. Over the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were bloody incidents between brothers in order to compete for the throne, but it was the first one who was so cruel that he killed all his brothers completely like Hu Hai.

Li Yuanjun's entry into Xianyang was at a critical moment when Qin was facing severe turmoil. In the eyes of some old Qin people in Guanzhong, the second generation Hu Hai was not the heir designated by the First Emperor at all. There was only one real heir to the throne of Qin, that was Fusu.

Fusu is dead.

The culprit was persecuted by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and the culprit was Zhao Gao. The mastermind behind the scenes, without asking much questions, was the good brother Emperor Hu Hai.

Under Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's high-pressure policies, the Qin people in Guanzhong used silence to fight against the cruelty of the government. After a long backlog, the anger of the Qin people had reached the peak of the outbreak. Li Yuan officially put forward the slogan "clear the king and eliminate treacherous ministers" at Hangu Pass, with the eldest princess Ying Yushu in charge. In terms of justice, Li Yuan's dispatch of troops was justified, which made the elders of Guanzhong unable to find any major problems.

Of course, more importantly, if Zhao Gao engages in conspiracy, he can be considered a first-class person, but the difference between his ability to govern the country is too big compared to Li Si.

This old saying is true to people's skills.

The grand occasion of Qin's civilians' households being filled with family members was no longer there because of the military titles and the enthronement of military titles. With the repeated taxation and military labor service, ordinary Qin's civilians gradually discovered that their hard work for a year was only a lot of debts. The young and strong men who went out to fight would bring back military achievements that were enough to glorify the family, but now, there are only one after another of the deaths of their deaths.

The county in Guanzhong has been unspeakable for a long time, and the county is extremely empty in defense. Otherwise, it would have been attacked by Zhou Wen's army two years ago. Now, it has been replaced by the army that is also under the banner of the Qin army. The county that has long been dissatisfied with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, responded one after another. For a time, crowds of people gathered.

like**.

Like the wind blowing away the remaining clouds.

After taking down Xiayi, Li Yuan's army sent a thousand cavalry Luo Jia to sweep across the banks of the Wei River with thunder. After sending Jiang Yu to lead one thousand elite troops to defend the Hangu Fortress, Li Yuan led the remaining five thousand elite troops, and together with nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers from various counties who surrendered along the way, the young and strong teams went to Liyi, Linxia, ​​and Huaide, and the troops were vigorous.

——.

February 16th.

Xianyang, at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Several carriages were parked by the door, and they never left from morning to afternoon. This was an emergency gathering of Zhao forces. What led to this meeting was a series of recent rebellions in Guanzhong.

In the main hall.

Prime Minister Zhao Gao's face was as deep as water, his face was gloomy and terrifying. He changed his smile and smiled like a tiger who was kind to others. Unlike the rebels of the six countries far away in Kanto, this time he was also attacking Xianyang under the banner of the Qin army, and the eldest princess Ying Yushu was in charge. What's even more hateful is that the slogan of this group of traitors was actually "clear the king's side and eliminate treacherous ministers."

Who is the treacherous minister?

Zhao Gao.

Faced with such a group of Qin domestic thieves who tried to subvert Zhao Gao's status, Zhao Gao made up his mind that he would gather all his strength to wipe out and kill Ying Yushu, Li Yuan and other thieves.

"Prime Minister, according to the information found by his subordinates, Li Yuan is likely to be the concubine's son of the old thief Li Si. This time, he is obviously going to save Li Jie from prison." The Cheqi Order Zhao Cheng is Zhao Gao's younger brother, and he is Zhao Gao's right-hand man with Yan Le. His news is shocking.

"Acheng, what you said is true?" Zhao Gao asked in a hatred.

"The news should be true. This was sent back by someone lurking in Li You's mansion. This Li was originally born to the old thief Li and a singer." Zhao Cheng nodded affirmatively and said.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Prime Minister Li, who is usually hypocritical, is also a hypocritical villain." Zhao Gao laughed loudly, his gloomy mood was greatly improved by this sudden information.

"Prime Minister, if Li Yuan is really the son of Li Si, then we have Li Si and his son hostages in hand, which can be used as bargaining chips to negotiate with Li Yuan. As long as it can be delayed for the first half of a month, the general will only need to send a team of elite troops back to help, so why worry about not destroying the rebellion of Li thieves." Yan Le calmed down and stepped forward to advise.

The military forces in Guanzhong are empty, and the power to guard the capital in Xianyang is only more than 10,000 people under Yan Le's soldiers. Among these soldiers, there are many new soldiers who have never been on the battlefield. With this strength alone, Yan Le is not sure to compete with Li Yuanjun, who has been fighting in the Guandong area for many years.

At the critical moment of this capital, we must find ways to mobilize Zhang Han's army or Wang Li's army in Jiyuan to return to defense, otherwise, Guanzhong will not be protected or Xianyang will not be protected.

"What Xianyang Order is concerned about is that you can quickly send elite men to Jiyuan from Yunzhong County and ask the general to send elite troops back. In addition, prepare the car quickly. I want to meet my old friends for a while." Zhao Gao ordered in a deep voice.
