Chapter 83 Hostage Coercion

(Today's third update, I think it's good, so I recommend and bookmark it. It's rare to ask for a vote!)

All three heroes of the Uri family died several times. Yan Lejun was depressed and had no fighting spirit. In desperation, Yan Le had to order a retreat, but did not want to fight fiercely. Retreat was much more difficult than attacking.

The entire army was defeated!

Which unlucky person should take on the burden of shaving the rear? Obviously, no one under Yan Le could share his worries, so that the retreating action eventually turned into a major defeat!

Li Yuan's army blocked and killed dozens of miles, killing Yan's army all the way. When they set out, more than 20,000 Yan's army was considered strong and strong. As a result, only less than 3,000 people were left to escape back to Xianyang City. What is even more unsettling is that the middle and lower-level generals and officers of the Xianyang army were almost wiped out. With Li Yuan's army approaching, Xianyang was already an unguarded city.

Faced with such a defeat, the Prime Minister Zhao Gao, who was in charge of Xianyang, was in tears. In terms of commanding the battle, Yan Le was already the most outstanding general in the Zhao Gao family. The rest of Zhao Cheng and others might be fine. They didn't have the courage to fight with real swords and guns.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

The situation of coming and going no longer exists. The news of Yan Le's defeat spread rapidly throughout the city as if he had grown wings. The fence-headed figures disappeared early at this time, hoping to spend this day when they could not see the current situation clearly. Those who had been dissatisfied with Zhao Gao were excited in private. They had been patient for a long time, and now they finally saw a ray of light turning over.

main hall.

Zhao Gao, Zhao Cheng, Yan Le and the Zhao faction, and Yan Le were all the big figures. Yan Le, who had just escaped from Leyouyuan, even threw his armor halfway and returned to Xianyang in only a small suit.

"What should I do? Everyone says that Li Thief is about to enter the city as he sees it." Zhao Gao's face turned unhealthy blushing. These days, he has trouble eating and sleeping, and has nightmares almost every day. In the dream, he dreamed that the First Emperor crawled out of the tomb and wanted to settle the score with him.

"Prime Minister, I am guilty of losing this battle. Please punish me." Yan Le said angrily. In his words, he said it was a punishment, but he was obviously careful.

"Aweng, Ale almost lost his life this time, and his body was full of injuries, which was amazing." Zhao Rong was pulled by Yan Le, with the purpose of persuading this sentence.

"Forget it, the enemy is not the time to blame anyone, so I'd better discuss it again and how to block Li Zhe!" Zhao Gao sighed and said in a daze. Facing Li Yuan, who was unreasonable and did not play according to common sense, he felt helpless.

"Prime Minister, Li thief is powerful, so we might as well retreat for the time being. The general's men are in Jiyuan area, and we can travel with the emperor." Zhao Cheng thought for a while and came up with an idea. Compared to the vicious and wise brother Zhao Gao, Zhao Cheng has a big gap in ability. Cowardice and cowardice are his trademark weakness.

When Zhao Cheng heard that Li Yuan's army was about to arrive, Zhao was so scared that he trembled all over. Zhao and Li families were already in the same state. If Li Yuan entered the city, none of the people in the Zhao family would survive.

"Jiyuan, this is a thousand miles away, and he is also carrying Hu Hai's burden, so how can he go fast? This proposal is not feasible." Yan Le shook his head. From Xianyang to Jiyuan, when Hangu Pass was captured by Li Yuan's army, he could only go north to Yunzhong County. This detour was not a thousand miles away. With the slow marching speed of the royal family, wouldn't he be chased by Li Yuan's army as soon as he left the city?

"Hmph, a small person is not a gentleman, and a husband is not a poison. If you can't get out of it, then you can kill the death. Yan Le, go to the prison and take good care of Li Si and his son, as well as a group of criminal ministers and grandchildren. If Li thief dares to attack Xianyang, I will let him be the first person to see Li Si." Zhao Gao said hatefully, with a fierce look in his eyes.

From June 2nd to February 3rd of the Second Emperor, the former Prime Minister Li Si was detained for nearly eight months. According to historical records, Li Si and his son had been killed by Zhao Gao on the streets of Xianyang. The reason why Zhao Gao was not dead yet is this intention of this move. With a powerful opponent like Li Yuan outside, a living Li Si had a greater effect on him than a dead Li Si.

Hostages are the best weapon to resist attacks.

As long as he could last a month, Zhao Gao believed that General Zhang Han's troops would return to the rescue quickly and capture Li Yuan, a slut.

Leyouyuan's victory.

Li Yuanjun had basically established the ownership of Xianyang. Next, he was to rectify the troops, seize the victory and arrest Zhao Gao and others who were directed by the righteousness of the emperor.

Yan Le was defeated and the defeated soldiers fled everywhere. After several negotiations with Xin Sheng and other Guanzhong elders who were watching the battle, they came up with a plan to appease the defeated soldiers.

For ordinary Qin soldiers, Zhao Gao's chaotic government did not bring them any benefits, so naturally he did not have to bear any responsibility. In the unfavorable situation of few male soldiers in Guanzhong, every soldier is a precious wealth and cannot be killed at will.

February 28th.

After pacifying the counties around Xianyang, Li Yuan's troops set off in Xianyang, blocking the intersection of Xianyang's traffic leading to the east of Baqiao, and stationing heavily on one side was Li Yuan's intelligence. A big city like Xianyang was not something he could have surrounded on all sides.

If Zhao Gao wants to escape, it is just right. Luo Jia's cavalry was worried that he would not be satisfied with the battle of Leyouyuan. Thousand miles of attacks were the cavalry's favorite things to do, not to mention that the target of chasing was Zhao Gao, who everyone hated.

East of Baqiao.

Li Yuanjun was stationed here.

At this time, the east gate of Xianyang City was no longer as crowded as before. The lively scenes of cars coming and going, the tall city gates were closed, and the tense soldiers of Yan Le soldiers on the city, all of which indicate that the loss of the Great Qin capital had entered the countdown.

"Report to the general, a messenger came in the city." A scout from Li Yuanjun entered the tent loudly.

"Come on." Chen Ping was in a good mood and ordered with a smile. The tension of the war had dissatisfied. Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan's actions of taking risks, Chen Ping also understood that the country was easy to change, but his nature was difficult to change. It would be impossible to expect Li Yuan to sit in the central army in a regular manner and see the end from the beginning.

"What's the matter?" Li Yuan was looking down at the silk map of Xianyang. His eyes had crossed Xianyang, an isolated city, and turned to Hanzhong south of the Qinling Mountains. The troops of his old opponent Liu Bang were moving west rapidly. Within a few days, Liu Bang's vanguard would appear on the Guanzhong Plain.

"General, it was Zhao Gao's letter. He asked to negotiate with us on the condition that Prime Minister Li and his son were released--." Chen Ping opened the letter and read it, his breathing began to become rapid.
