This time when he sent troops to attack Xianyang, Fusu was more cautious than the previous times. Because his purpose this time was to gain control of the Qin Dynasty, he only sought stability rather than speed. Although it only took him a few days to take down Shangdang City.

, but it took more than ten days to appease the people. Just because Fusu knew that even if Qin Ting knew that he had brought troops, there would be no way to deal with him. More than half of Da Qin's troops had been taken to Chu by Zhang Han.

The rest of the troops could not compare with his own army in terms of numbers or elites. As for Zhang Han Fusu who was in Chu, he believed that he could not bring the army back so easily, so he simply tried to appease the people of Shangdang first.

Okay, let's attack the next city.

After several days of continuous efforts, Fusu had brought the people of the city back to their hearts. He opened official warehouses to help the poor, released people who had been falsely accused from prison, and lowered taxes. In just more than ten days, he had already used

The people recognized him as their master. Fusu clearly knew the value of people's hearts, so he never dared to be careless when doing these things. Today he was watching the information collected from the people in the main hall of the former prefect's mansion in Shangdang City.

Fusu sent soldiers disguised as ordinary people and walked among the people to find out what those people thought of him. As he continued to implement measures for the people, his reputation among the people became better and better. The information he has seen now is all

It was the people's desire for him to be their master. Looking at the peaceful scene everywhere, Fusu knew that Shangdang County had been completely conquered by him. Even if he failed to attack Xianyang in the future, the people would support him if he retreated here.

of.

So Fusu summoned Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others, and said to them: "Now that the Shangdang has completely surrendered to us, it's time for us to go one step further and use troops against Hedong County. I don't know what they can do with the smallest possible means."

Is there any way to take down Hedong at a price?"

Zhang Liangdao: "Prince, actually you can use your method to take down Shangdang. The art of war goes like this: attack with troops first, then attack with strategy, then attack again. As long as we can defeat the enemy's troops without fighting, it will be our greatest success."

.Since the Shangdang will surrender to Kaicheng because of a few letters from the prince, Hedong County is naturally unavoidable."

"Mr. Zhang is right. Shangdang is the original place of the Zhao people, so a few letters and a large army can force him to surrender in Kaicheng. And Hedong was originally the hometown of the Wei State. This method is still feasible. Prince Da

You can give it a try." Han Xin agreed.

Fusu smiled and said: "Since you have said so, then I will give it a try and have people send letters to the city. At the same time, let General Meng lead his troops to coerce them. Once they are unwilling to surrender, they will definitely feel bad in their hearts."

If you are too timid to fight, then Meng General Hui's army will definitely be able to capture Hedong with minimal losses when the time comes." Fusu said and cupped his hands towards Meng Tian.

Meng Tian also hurriedly raised his hands and said: "The general will not disappoint the prince. I will definitely capture this Hedong County in a short time."

In this way, 30,000 troops and the envoys who summoned Hedong Taishou to surrender set off from Shangdang at the same time, while Fusu continued to stay in Shangdang City to win over the people and work hard to have a solid rear.

The governor of Hedong has not had a good night's sleep since he heard that Shangdang surrendered to Fusu. He has already ordered people to go back to Xianyang to ask for help. At the same time, he has ordered soldiers to guard the city day and night. This is not enough, he also posted

He issued a notice and told the people in the city that anyone who dared to open the city and surrender would be punished with treason. Just when he was ready to wait for reinforcements to arrive, he first waited for the 30,000 troops led by Meng Tian. At this time, Hedong Governor Liu

Hen was patrolling the city when he suddenly heard the news that tens of thousands of troops were approaching outside the city. He immediately led his people to the city to check. When he saw Meng Tian pressing his army against the city wall, he sent a soldier with a loud voice to attack the city loudly.

Li shouted: "Listen, people in the city, as long as you open the city and surrender, my general can ensure the safety of your entire city. Otherwise, once my army attacks the city, we will all be destroyed!"

Then another scribe walked out, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and called in: "I am the envoy of Prince Fusu. Please open the door and let me enter the city. Here is a letter written by the prince to your Excellency."

The prefect looked at the 30,000 men and horses showing off their power outside the city, and then at the soldiers in the city who were trembling with fear and had no fighting spirit. He knew that once the opponent really attacked, the city would probably be defeated immediately. He knew that the situation in front of him was already over.

Not allowing himself to hesitate, the prefect ordered the city gate to be opened to let the envoy in.

This messenger was one of the many skilled people Zhang Liang had found for Fusu. What he was best at was the art of eloquence, but after entering the city this time, his strengths were not used at all, because after reading what Fusu wrote about

After the rebellion between Ziying and Zhao Gao, the governor of Hedong finally gave up guarding the city and opened the city gate to let Meng Tian and 30,000 troops in. The reason why the governor changed like this was that he was frightened by the tens of thousands of troops and

Lai also knew that there were too many people in the city who did not want to defend the city. If he had insisted on going his own way, he might have been assassinated by his subordinate officials before Meng Tian led his army in. Hedong County was also captured without spending a single soldier.

Fusu's army occupied it, and the news quickly spread to Xianyang City.

After receiving the request for help form from Hedong, Ziying was very conflicted. He didn't know whether he should send people to assist Hedong. Just because there were less than 20,000 troops left around him, and they still had to defend Xianyang.

Once he sends these men and horses, there will be no one to suppress him in Xianyang City, and he may be assassinated by someone with intentions. At the same time, he does not think that only 20,000 people can compete with the elite soldiers Fusu currently has, so in the end

Ziying still decided not to send troops to aid Hedong.

But not long after that, the news of the fall of Hedong came back. At the same time, the news came that Shangdang County had been completely controlled by Fusu. Even the original sergeants had great trust in Fusu. When Ziying heard the news

Only then did I realize that Fusu could be said to have made a plan before taking action this time, and he was bound to win. "Now that Zhang Han has brought all the elites of our Great Qin Dynasty to Chu, we no longer have anyone to stop Fusu's army. If he takes down

A few cities away, Xianyang is really in danger. No, I have to think of a way to give Fusu no excuse to send troops to attack me." Ziying walked back and forth in the harem, thinking of ways in his mind. Suddenly he stopped,

The orderer said: "Go and bring me the message sent by Fusu to attack us." Soon after, the eunuch brought the message secretly spread by Fusu's people to Ziying.

After Ziying read the entire article, he already had an idea in his mind: "Look, what this appeal says is that I and Zhao Gao teamed up to murder Hu Hai, so Fusu used an excuse to send troops to attack. If I get rid of Zhao Gao and then issue an imperial edict,

Tell the world that Hu Hai's death was all due to Zhao Gao. I will kill Zhao Gao to comfort Hu Hai's spirit in heaven. I think Fusu will not find a reason to send troops by then. And seeing that Fusu is not too nostalgic for the throne, I

If Zhao Gao's head is given to him, he will definitely retreat at a loss."

Now that the idea had been made up, Ziying stopped delaying and quickly began to arrange the palace. He knew that if he called on the guards guarding the palace gate, Zhao Gao would definitely notice it. Only among the chamberlains and maids

Only by finding some trustworthy people to ambush Zhao Gao would he be able to hit him with one blow. So Ziying found dozens of trustworthy servants in the palace and ordered them to ambush him in his palace.

When he threw the cup down, he rushed out and killed the minister who was talking to him. At the same time, he himself was wearing soft armor and had a dagger hidden in his arms. Then he ordered people to find Zhao Gao, saying that he had something important to do.

After all the arrangements were made, Ziying waited quietly in the palace for Zhao Gao to arrive.

There was unconcealable nervousness in his heart. This time was different from the last time he killed Hu Hai. The last time they took action was after they had completely controlled the situation, and all the details were arranged by Zhao Gao. He only needed to arrange the troops in his hands.

That's it. But this time Ziying took action alone, and Zhao Gao was still the most powerful force in Xianyang City. If he couldn't kill Zhao Gao in one fell swoop, he would be in danger once he escaped. But when he thought that Fusu's army was about to

After arriving, Ziying could no longer care about that much. Victory or defeat depended on this. After drinking a few glasses of wine, his panic slowly calmed down. In his heart, he said silently to the dead Hu Hai: "Hu Hai, on that day you

He was timid and did not dare to attack Zhao Gao, fearing that his subordinates would cause chaos after learning that he was dead. In fact, as the saying goes, a year does not fly without a head, and a beast does not move without a head. Without him, Zhao Gao, as the leader, his subordinates would only last a year.

They are a mob, and they will even turn to the side of the person who killed him to keep their own power. Today I will show you how I got rid of him." On one side, he cheered himself up by ridiculing Hu Hai, but on the other side, he

He stared nervously at the palace door to see when Zhao Gao would appear.

After receiving Ziying's order, Zhao Gao took his guards to Xianyang Palace. Going to the same place in the same dark night, Zhao Gao unconsciously had a doubt in his heart. So when the carriage left the gate,

At that time, he whispered a few words into the ear of the guard waiting outside the car, and the man turned around and walked away to the back house. Not long after Zhao Gao left his house, a dark shadow appeared in Zhao Gao's house. He was tall and thin.

He was tall, with a five-foot-long sword hanging on his back, and headed towards the palace.

After handing over his badge and verifying his identity, Zhao Gao got out of the car and entered the palace under the protection of several personal guards. More than a hundred other guards stayed outside the palace. Zhao Gao felt uneasy in his heart as he walked all the way.

What's more, because none of the guards along the way seemed to be familiar to him, and there were many new faces among the chamberlains in the palace, this made him even more vigilant.

Although the palace was large, it was time to go to the palace. Under Zhao Gao's uneasiness, he had already arrived outside the palace. Although he had doubts in his heart, he could not bring the guards into the emperor's palace, so he said outside: "

My minister, Zhao Gao, has been ordered to see you." Then he opened the palace door and walked in.

At the same time, a dark shadow avoided the guards' gaze and sneaked into the palace.
