Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 472
At this time, Zhang Han was also caught in a dilemma.

Although he was sure that Qin Ziying should have narrowly escaped death, he also believed that the one sitting on the throne might really be out of order.

Perhaps Meng Tian's Northland Legion should have known some inside information a long time ago, so they listened to Xianyang's order and did not listen to it.

However, in any case, the first emperor has passed away, and now the emperor of Daqin is called Huhai.

Before the truth came out, if he didn't listen to Xianyang's edict, he would be tantamount to rebellion.

When Zhang Han was struggling, suddenly his guards reported outside the door: "Nanyue has an urgent letter, please send it personally."

Hearing this, Zhang Han and Sima Xin immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Nanyue was the domain of the King of Qin, and the letter from Nanyue was naturally from the King of Qin.

"Bring it up." Zhang Han ordered.

After speaking, the attendant held a sealed scroll of bamboo slips and handed it to Zhang Han.

At this time, the news that the Nanyue Qin Army was preparing to attack Guanzhong was only known to the upper echelons of the Qin Army. In the hearts of these ordinary soldiers, the Nanyue Qin Army was a natural ally.

Moreover, the encapsulation of the letter sent by Ziying was also the highest grade commonly used by the Qin army - cinnabar red. Only the commander-in-chief of the first army was qualified to unseal it, so it was sent to Zhang Han immediately.

Before Ziying left, he had already written this letter and sent it to Zhang Han. It stands to reason that it should be delivered before Xianyang's edict, but Zhang Han's marching speed is too fast these days.

The messenger had just arrived at one place, and Zhang Han had already gone to another place. It was not easy to find out where Zhang Han's army had gone, as this was a military secret.

It was because Zhang Han stayed in Chen County for a little longer this time, and the messenger sent by Ziying finally fulfilled his mission and delivered the letter to the Lord after going through countless wrongdoings.

Just as Zhang Han opened the letter, when he looked up, he saw Sima Xin squatting over there, squinting at the letter in his hand with erratic eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Han joked and said, "If you want to see it, come over and watch it directly. Why do you have to act like this?"

Being discovered by Zhang Han, although Sima Xin was a little embarrassed, his curiosity about Ziying's letter outweighed his shyness, and he moved directly to Zhang Han's side and read it together.

In the letter, Ziying briefly described how Zhao Gao and Hu Hai rebelled and how he escaped from birth.

You must know that the first emperor ordered Ziying to command the world's army in his last edict. In other words, Ziying was the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty.

In the letter, Ziying also pointed out this point, so Ziying directly gave Zhang Hanjun the four-word order "to clear the land of Chu".

The only shortcoming is that the imperial edict and military talisman of the first emperor, Ziying sent the eunuchs to Jiuyuan, making Ziying's words lack some credibility.

"General, how should we deal with ourselves?"

After reading Ziying's letter, Zhang Han, who was already in a tangle, was even more undecided. When Sima Xin asked Zhang Han, he simply threw the question back.

"How does Sima Changshi think we should deal with it?"

"Naturally, we should follow the order of the King of Qin to wipe out the remnants of Chu." Sima Xin replied without hesitation.

Sima Xin's attitude to a large extent represents the attitude of the old Qin army. Although the proportion of the old Qin army in his army is not high, most of them are prisoners who built the Lishan Mausoleum and Afang Palace. husband.

However, Zhang Han did not dare to ignore the opinions of these old Qin soldiers, because most of these old Qin soldiers who have experienced wars are now middle- and lower-level officers of their own troops.

If he went against the King of Qin himself, as long as the King of Qin himself stood up and accused the Second Emperor of treasonous acts, I am afraid that his army would directly surrender under the leadership of a middle- and lower-ranking officer, as Xianyang feared. .

"General, you will not accept the orders of the generals. Now that the state of Chu is in good shape, how can we easily abandon it? We can report to Xianyang that our army is now confronting Zhang Chujun, and it is difficult to withdraw easily." Sima Xin saw Zhang Han's hesitation and suggested.

Now Qin Jun is indeed confronting Zhang Chujun, but at this time Chen Sheng has no strength to fight Qin Jun at all, and is just lingering in the lower city.

"General, once we return to Xianyang at this time and let the situation in the Kanto region deteriorate, we will definitely become sinners of the Great Qin through the ages, and let future generations scold us forever!" Sima Xin continued to persuade.

Perhaps it was the words of the eternal sinner of the Great Qin that touched Zhang Han. After Sima Xin finished speaking, Zhang Han suddenly raised his head and said to Sima Xin: "Order the whole army to prepare their weapons and send them down to the city father in three days." !"

"promise!"

Hearing that Zhang Han had finally come to the conclusion of staying in Chu, Sima Xin excitedly ran out all the way to deliver the order.

"King Qin? The Second Emperor?" After Sima Xin left, Zhang Han held the edict of the Second Emperor in one hand and Ziying's letter in the other. Put it on the table.

……

Xiacheng father city.

Chen Sheng led the [-] remnants of the peasant army and had been stationed here for more than ten days.

Although when Zhou Wen independently resisted the Qin army, everyone including him, Chen Sheng, chose to sit on the sidelines.

At that time, Chen Sheng was not uncommon. After Qin Jun eliminated Zhou Wenjun, he would first quell the expectations of Zhao Weiyan and other soft persimmons.

If this is the case, the only person they can ask is themselves. At that time, they will lead the army to the north, use the force of the Qin army to reintegrate the troops of Yan, Zhao, Wei, and the three kingdoms, and it is not impossible to bring the Central Plains back under their command.

However, after Qin Jun killed Zhou Wenjun, he chose Zhang Chu himself.

Even so, Chen Sheng didn't have much urgency at the beginning. After the Qin army led by Zhang Han ate Zhou Wenjun, only less than 40 of the 30 army remained, and Tian Zang's army was the same as his own in Chu. The army adds up to a full 50 people.

Although these troops were all farmers plowing the fields a few months ago, at least they far surpassed Zhang Han in terms of numbers.

However, after several battles in a row, his side was defeated miserably, and now he can only defend the city in the lower city.

In desperation, Chen Sheng could only rely on the prestige of his first righteousness to send a letter to the four countries of Zhao, Wei, Yan, Qi and some big anti-Qin forces, proposing to jointly send troops to resist Qin.

Fortunately, although Zhao Wei and other countries no longer listen to their restraint, they were once their subordinates after all, and they still read a little bit of incense.

If it is a single party, naturally no one wants to fight against Zhang Han's army and weaken their own strength out of thin air. However, if everyone works together, that is another matter. After all, the Qin army can be said to be their common enemy.

So when Chen Sheng called on all parties to destroy this Qin army together, all parties readily agreed to send troops.

With the assurances of all parties, although the Qin army is approaching, Chen Sheng does not have much worry about Zhang Hanjun. All the long drive down.

But the news that Qin Ziying is really not dead has made him mentally and physically exhausted recently.

After all, he went home together and declared to the outside world that Prince Qin was not dead, and that he raised troops on the order of Prince Qin.

Because the Zhang Chu regime's control area is closely adjacent to Changsha County and Nan County, the news that Ziying's army is besieging Wuguan has spread throughout the rebel army.

Even many generals in the army suggested that Chen Sheng lead the army to help King Qin.

Although Chen Sheng immediately sent a message to the whole army, the Qin king in the South Vietnam army was a fake, not the one who led him to "anti-Qin cause".

But even though he had done a series of work, there was still a lot of discussion in the army, and he couldn't invite another King of Qin to prove that Ziying was fake.

In desperation, Chen Sheng had no choice but to run around the barracks every day in a carriage to appease the soldiers.
