Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 478 How To Do It

Even if the infantry marched from Wuguan to Xianyang City, it would only take five or six days.

After Wuguan surrendered under the leadership of the guard general Xingqing, Ziying did not let the army repair too much. After leaving [-] Qin troops stationed in Wuguan, he led the remaining Qin troops to fight towards Xianyang without stopping. .

As for the 20 defenders who originally defended Wuguan, Ziying ordered them to distribute some food and money, and then sent them back to their hometown.

These are the children of Guanzhong recruited by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai in order to resist Ziying's forcible recruitment. Without these strong men, if there are only some women and children to play around with, the agricultural production in Guanzhong will definitely be greatly affected.

The fall of Wuguan was tantamount to earth-shattering bad news for Xianyang. After Wuguan and until Xianyang, there were no fortifications that could withstand the attack of Ziying army.

At the end of the road, Zhao Gao and Qin II gathered all the soldiers and horses that Xianyang could gather so far, and set up a formation in Lantian, hoping to stop Ziying one or two.

However, this team, which pinned Zhao Gao's last hope, immediately joined the South Vietnamese Army under the leadership of several generals as soon as they encountered Ziying.

Most of these were the old Qin army who hadn't dared to use them during the previous battle of Wuguan. Under the premise that there were no soldiers available, Zhao Gao could only treat Sima as a living horse doctor.

As it turned out, this move was just a wave of soldiers for Ziying.

As for the direct descendants Zhao Gao belonged to, Zhao Gao really didn't dare to send them out under such circumstances, and the guard of Xianyang had to rely on these trustworthy direct descendants.

To Zhao Gao's surprise, after Ziying's occupation of Lantian, he did not continue to march towards Xianyang, which is close at hand, which made Zhao Gao and Hu Hai heave a sigh of relief.

In history, when Liu Bangbing entered Guanzhong, Zhao Gao had already killed Li Si, Feng Jie, Feng Quji and other stumbling blocks. When Liu Bangbing entered Xianyang, Zhao Gao simply killed Qin II, and then sent someone to contact Liu Bang to separate The land in Guanzhong is king, and there is not too much panic.

However, at this time Zhao Gao did not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Qin Ziying is not comparable to Liu Bang. For Liu Bang, those measures may save his life, but for Ziying, even if he surrenders now, he may not escape death.

Although Xianyang City has high walls and thick walls, it can be said that it is a first-class strong city in the world, but in the face of Ziying's soldiers, Zhao Gao did not have much confidence in being able to defend Xianyang.

Then there is only one way out, and that is - run.Run north to Shangjun or Beidi County, which is still under the control of Daqin.

Try to find a way to gather an army to fight against Ziying there, if it doesn't work, you can only ask the Qiang people for help.

……

Just when Zhao Gao began to study how to escape to the north, an unexpected visitor came to the house of Li Si, another big man in Xianyang Chaotang.

On this day, Li Si dealt with the memorials in the government office until late at night before returning to his mansion.

At this time, most of the land in the world is no longer under the control of Daqin, and there are not many pure government affairs.The vast majority of all the memorials received are the books of help from the counties and counties that are still struggling in the Kanto region.

For these requests for help, all Li Si can do now is try his best, and then tell the reinforcements to wait. As for when the reinforcements will arrive, Li Si does not know.

Maybe when the king of Qin moved into Xianyang, he wiped out the treacherous and sycophantic traitors who had troubled the Qin Dynasty, and when the troops left Guanzhong, he could truly wipe out those rebels.

Although Li Si regretted that he chose to join forces with Zhao Gao at that time, but if he was asked to choose again under the circumstances at that time, he might still make the same decision.

At that time, the two sons of the first emperor had already been forced to death by Zhao Gao. If he had not agreed to plot rebellion with Zhao Gao, he might have died at that time.

Seeing the first emperor, even if Zhao Gao would be torn to pieces, he would not be able to live with the first emperor's temper; if he did not see the first emperor, he would probably be silenced by Zhao Gao directly.

In this way, at least a few more years can be lived.

Li Si has always been an egoist, every choice he makes is beneficial to him, if it is poison, then eat the less toxic one.

After dragging his exhausted body back to his mansion, Li Si simply drank a bowl of hot porridge served by his servants, and then returned to his bedroom to prepare for sleep.

"Who?" Li Si entered his bedroom with a tired face, and lit up the lamp on the table, but the scene in the bedroom really gave him a chill down his spine.

There was actually a person leaning against the pillar in his bedroom!

As Li Si's prime minister, although his mansion was not as big as the imperial palace, it was not something that the idle people could come in and out at will.

The person in front of him was able to come to his dormitory quietly, so if he wanted to take his own life, it would be a breeze.

Since this person didn't act immediately, he probably didn't come here to take his own life. Li Si thought about this, and his panic gradually calmed down.

"I don't know what your Excellency's late-night visit can teach me." Li Si said calmly.

"Prime Minister, it's true that the nobleman forgets things so much, and he doesn't recognize Jian after not seeing him for a few years?" The figure leaning against the pillar replied calmly after Li Si finished speaking.

Li Si, who no longer had much fear, raised the oil lamp and let the light shine on that person's face. After seeing the face of the person, Li Si immediately felt a little familiar.

After a little thought in his mind, Li Si finally remembered the identity of the person in front of him.

The number one swordsman in Xianyang back then——Jian Yi.

If it is only the status of the number one swordsman, it is nothing more than a reckless man in the world, and he will not be able to catch the eyes of people like him.

However, his other identity is enough to make Li Si think highly of him, that is, the commander of Qin Ziying's guards. When Ziying was in Xianyang, Jian Yi was Ziying's personal guard.

Although in the eyes of those who know Ziying's force, the guard Jian Yi may be a bit redundant.

"I don't know what orders His Royal Highness King Qin has?" Li Si, who understood Jian Yi's identity, naturally knew that seeing Jian Yi appearing at his place at this moment must have been ordered by Ziying.

"The king of Qin ordered me to bring a sentence to the prime minister: life or death depends on the prime minister's single-mindedness." After speaking, Jian Yi jumped out of the window lattice of Li Si's bedroom and disappeared into the night.

Jian Yi's departure didn't affect Li Si, at the moment Li Si only thought about Ziying's words: "Life or death depends on the prime minister's single-mindedness."

There is no doubt about Li Si's personal ability. When Daqin united the Six Kingdoms, Li Si also contributed a lot in the rear.

In addition to Li Si's ability in government affairs, his more outstanding ability is in grasping people's hearts. It was precisely because of his speculation about Ying Zheng's psychology that a "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" made Ying Zheng change his mind.

Now what he was trying to figure out was the meaning contained in Ziying's words.

It is easy to understand from the literal sense, if what I do is in line with King Qin's wishes, not only will I not have to die, but I may still be reused by King Qin. Compared with the choice of life, Li Si, who is good at seeking profit and avoiding disaster, naturally made the choice immediately.

Li Si still believed King Qin's promise. The King Qin he understood was definitely not the kind of person who broke his promise and became fat.

All that remained was how to do what King Qin wanted. Li Si spent a whole night pondering on this point.
