Fusu now has 140,000 to 50,000 horses, but it is impossible to bring them all with him in this expedition to Xianyang. After all, Fusu now occupies more counties. Beidi County's 20,000 horses are led by Meng Yi to guard there.

In case the Huns from the north invade, they cannot be moved. In addition,

Although Xiangshanggu, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan and other counties had just repelled the invading Huns not long ago, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in them could not be easily mobilized, and Zhou Xing became the garrison of those counties.

General, in case the Huns are determined to plunder again.

Therefore, Fusu only brought 80,000 horses this time, and Chen Ping was left behind in Shangjun City to allocate food and fodder for them in the front and appease the rear. Chen Ping also understood the great responsibility of this, which also showed that Fusu trusted him.

, so I took over this heavy responsibility. This time

The generals who went out to Fusu were Han Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Wu and others. Zhang Liang served as the military advisor, and Lord Canghai served as the vanguard. Because he was brave and good at fighting, but not very good at using troops, he only gave him 5,000 troops.

But if the Qin army encountered resistance, he would be the first to defeat the enemy.

The army went all the way south, and soon arrived at Taiyuan County. After arranging the troops and bringing all the siege equipment, the army left Taiyuan and headed for Shangdang. This time, although Fusu brought more troops

Not too many, but they were prepared to attack steadily. This was partly because the failure of the last raid on Xianyang made Fusu give up the idea of ​​getting it done in one step, and partly because they had calculated that the Qin people did not have many men left to guard.

As a modern man, Fusu knew that public opinion offensives were sometimes more effective than actual attacks, so before sending troops to attack, he had sent people to various counties in Qin to spread the news, saying that Ziying and Zhao Gao had joined forces to conquer Hu Hai.

kill, take again

He took the throne. Originally, the people of Qin were deeply suspicious of Hu Hai's death. However, firstly, because Hu Hai himself was unpopular, the people were not too interested in his death. Secondly, because of Zhao Gao's iron-fisted methods,

Make them afraid to talk about it

This question, so before Fusu sent people to spread the news, although the people had suspicions, they were not very clear about it. But Fusu combined the information he got from books and movies, plus his own guesses, and actually

A story was created that Zhao and Gao killed Hu Hai and took away the throne. It spread a lot in Qin for a while. Even the Qin soldiers and officials stationed in various places began to believe that it was true because they did not see it with their own eyes.

See, I can't explain it in such detail.

When Fusu's army arrived at Shangdang City, the soldiers in Shangdang City were worried about whether they should arrest the people who were talking about Hu Hai's death. Originally, the Qin people had always behaved badly, but there were some unethical behaviors.

, no substantial evidence is needed to convict someone, but the situation is different now. There are only a few thousand defenders in the city, and Shangdang is the original place of Zhao State, which had just revolted a few years ago.

So the defenders

They didn't dare to push the people too hard, but the news spread so hard that they had to suppress it. At this time, Fusu arrived with his army, and he was not in a hurry to attack the city.

He ordered people to shoot a proclamation against thieves into the city, which listed several major crimes of Zhao Gao and Ziying, and also explained his justice. This made the Qin army guarding the city suspicious.

What Fusu said was true.

The generals guarding the city saw that the soldiers inside had begun to waver, and Fusu's army outside the city was approaching with menacing force. They knew that they could not hold the city, and if they abandoned the city, they would inevitably die if they fled to Xianyang.

, so he suddenly opened the city and surrendered to Fusu. In this way, Fusu took the first city without spending a single soldier with just a rumor, which also made the soldiers around him

They were so impressed that they became more confident in conquering Xianyang.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news spread by Fusu quickly spread to Xianyang City and fell into the ears of Zhao and Gao. When the two heard that someone actually started to spread the news, they felt suspicious.

They began to hunt down the people who spread the news in Xianyang City. But now that the news had become known to the whole city, the army did not know who to arrest. In desperation, Ziying had no choice but to issue an order, but there was no news about Hu Haizhi.

The deceased was deemed to have committed treason, which was why the news was suppressed. But before the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, news came from the other side. Fusu openly rebelled under the banner of avenging his brother. Now he has

Killed them as far as Shangdang City.

"When Hu Hai was the emperor, Fusu once said that he had gained the throne unfairly and kept his own troops in Shangjun City. Now that Hu Hai is dead, he leads troops to attack Xianyang as his brother. In fact, everyone can see that he is

An excuse, but its real purpose is to capture Xianyang and seize the throne." Zhao Gao said with an indignant look on his face for all the ministers in the palace to see.

In fact, everyone present knew that Hu Hai's death must be a conspiracy between Zhao and Gao, but they did not say it because their lives and wealth were now in the hands of the other party. Now that Zhao Gao said it was unjust, everyone's faces were filled with confusion.

Unconsciously, he showed a look of disdain. But among them there were still some people who were completely willing to work for Zhao Gao. Some of them said: "What the Prime Minister said is true. This Fusu has sinister intentions. Fortunately, our army and people of Qin Dynasty

If we are united and united, we will definitely not be instigated by him."

Zhao Gao smiled with satisfaction and followed the man's words: "So in my opinion, it is best for the emperor to issue an edict, explain Fusu's crimes, and then send a large army to destroy him."

Ziying had already discussed it with Zhao Gao when he was in the harem, and now he said: "I am just as the prime minister thought. This Fusu is a rebellious minister and traitor. Everyone in the army and people of our Qin Dynasty will kill him, so I will come down now."

I ordered General Zhang Han to lead his troops back to support and kill Fusu in our land of Qin."

The ministers saw that Zhao Gao and Zhao Gao were ready for everything, so they said nothing more and left after singing their praises. Zhao Gao was also busy going back and sending people to look around Xianyang City to see if there was anyone taking this opportunity to spread the virus.

People whose news is not beneficial to them.

On the way back to the harem, Ziying felt uneasy: "Now Fusu's troops have reached Shangdang. There are only thousands of troops guarding that place. I'm afraid they won't be able to guard against him. The cities behind are just like Shangdang."

, there is no way to stop Fusu's army. However, Zhang Han's army is still fighting with the Chu people in the Chu land. Regardless of whether they can return to rescue despite the Chu people's entanglement, even if they come, they will probably be far away.

It's hard to save the fire. By the time they came, Xianyang City would have fallen into Fusu's hands. Looking at what Fusu did in the past, it was probably because of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. If I kill Zhao Gao, then I will

Sending his head to Fusu may solve this catastrophic problem. And I heard that Fusu has never had much ambition for the throne, otherwise he would not have been driven away from Xianyang by Yingzheng that day. If I could solve Fusu's problem,

If Su's hatred is in his heart, he may withdraw his troops and stop fighting. I will get rid of Zhao Gao sooner or later, why not get rid of him now and resolve the current crisis?" Thinking of this, Ziying has already made up his mind to kill Zhao Gao.

The idea was to kill Gao in order to drive back Fusu's army.

At this time, the first imperial edict after Ziying ascended the throne had been sent to Zhang Han. In the past few days, Zhang Han led his army to attack continuously, forcing the Chu army to retreat continuously.

After the First World War, it was also discovered that the number of the Chu army had been greatly reduced. It seemed that many Chu soldiers had deserted, which made Zhang Han more confident that he could annihilate the Chu army in a short time. At this time

, the imperial edict arrived. Zhang Han looked at the imperial edict, and then at the person who came to issue the edict: "You are saying that the second emperor died of a sudden illness a few days ago, and before his death, he ordered Ziying to inherit the throne.

?”

Under Zhang Han's eyes that could see through people's hearts, the eunuch said tremblingly: "The general said it is true, so the emperor ordered me to deliver the decree to the general. It is because the world is not very stable after the new emperor ascends the throne. Only the general can stabilize the world."

role.”

"But do you know that I brought a large army to Chu this time and have already lost tens of thousands of troops. Now I am about to destroy the Chu country. If the army returns to Xianyang, then the lives of those dead soldiers will be unjust.

In order that those soldiers who have gone around will not die in peace, and in order that our Great Qin will have one less enemy in the future, I decided to destroy Chu State first, and then return to Xianyang!" Zhang Han said and ordered the servant to be sent out of the big tent.

Now that he had made up his mind, Zhang Han no longer hesitated and immediately ordered his troops to attack the Chu army again. After more than ten days of fighting, the soldiers on both sides were already familiar with the enemy's tactics. So at first glance

Seeing the changes in the Qin army's formation, the Chu army already knew that the Qin army had launched another attack on them. They were busy setting up defenses and leading the army back. They did not dare to engage in a full-scale fight with the Qin army, but at the same time it was not a large-scale attack.

Back up.

As soon as the two armies clashed, the Chu army kept retreating as before, while the Qin army kept moving forward. The Chu army's original position soon fell into the hands of the Qin people. In this way, Zhang Han temporarily stopped attacking, and he also

Don't dare to push the Chu army too far, otherwise they will fight to the death, and the Qin army will suffer great losses.

"General, this time the Chu army did not set up camp on the spot after our army stopped attacking, but kept retreating." A soldier came to report to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han asked: "How far is it from this place to Surabaya City?"

"There are still more than fifty miles. At the speed of the army, we can get there in half a day."

"Since it is impossible for the Chu people to escape our pursuit, why don't they retreat and fight at the same time now? There must be a deception. Order the three armies to catch up quickly and not let the Chu army get too far away!" Zhang Han

He immediately felt something was wrong and ordered.

The Qin army started to chase the Chu army. Suddenly they found a mountain pass in front of them, and there seemed to be a large number of people ambushing them. The white squad leading the army was doubtful and did not dare to rush in, so they sent someone to tell Zhang Han this.
