In the hall.

Yan Yi was already drunk and staggering. The old captain, who had been unhappy for more than 20 years, had a lot of grievances in his heart that he wanted to vent. People with rigid personalities often have a weakness, that is, stubbornness. The same goes for Yan Yi.

Unappreciated talents and never being reused despite having only a few talents have been Yan Yi's obsession for many years. Now, he is nearly sixty years old, and he has finally become the leader of Hangu Pass again by relying on his relationship with his nephew Yan Le.

Guarding the general, but the years are passing by, and with Yan Yi's age, it is almost impossible to make further progress in a short period of time.

"Chief Zhao, you and I are destined to talk. It's too late to meet each other today. Come on, have another drink!" Yan Yi picked up the wine cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Do it!" Zhao Ben's eyes were red, and he was very depressed because the glass of wine was empty. The Yan Yi in front of him was obviously not a man who planned big things. How could an old guy and a drunkard be responsible for guarding such an important pass as Hangu Pass?

's burden.

If Yan Yi had the ability, he, Zhao Bi, would definitely shout: The traitor is here, take it down quickly!

Of course, as a hostage, a smart man who values ​​his life more than his integrity, Zhao Ben is also very self-aware. In this big drama of fraud, his role is just a puppet in front of the stage. Only if the play is performed well, will there be success.

The next reward, and if the performance is a failure, not to mention other things, it is enough for Zhao Ben to bear the punishment of Li Bi alone and a group of strong soldiers who are eyeing him.

Li Bi was very nervous. This was the first time that he had taken on an important task. During the meeting, although Zhao Bi's thoughts had been hammered by Chen Ping, there was no guarantee that there would be recurrences. Others, Zong Zheng and Chen Di, did not.

What are you worried about? With Ying Yushu here, Chen Di should not have any unusual thoughts, but are you afraid? What if something unexpected happens——.

Although Yan Yi is an old man, there are more than 20 Qin army officers at the rank of military princes and generals who were guarding the army at the banquet. These people are all good warriors in the army. If they were to fight, Li Neiyi would

It was almost impossible not to alert the sleeping guards outside.

General Li, why aren't you here yet?

The later this time goes on, even if Yan Yi is not suspicious, there is no guarantee that any garrison officer will go outside. If anything is discovered, this deceptive plan will be exposed.

Just when Li Bi was feeling uneasy, the door was kicked open with a bang, and Li Yuan led a group of light soldiers in with murderous intent.

"Who is it?" A garrison general near the door exclaimed.

"puff!"

The sword entered his throat and blood surged wildly. Li Yuan raised his sword and brought it down, instantly killing the general who tried to resist. After he took action, the light soldiers composed of Cao Xin and other guests of the Li Mansion swayed toward each other.

The enemy general pounced forward.

"Kill!" Li Bi shouted, stepped forward, and pierced Yan Yi's old body with his sword.

"You are traitors——!" Yan Yi was shocked. He did not expect that tonight's drinking session would be the last time in his life. As he was approaching his twilight years, the best destination for him was actually to return to his hometown.

An elder can live out his old age peacefully, and leave the fight for supremacy to the younger generation.

"Master Captain, Lord Yama is calling you, go quickly!" Li Bi sneered, leaned close to the ear of Yan Yi, the bloodless god, and whispered.

"Zhao——!" Yan Yi trembled and slowly pointed at Zhao Ben who was staying at the table. Today's changes were all because he trusted Zhao Ben.

Yan Yi lost everything due to his utilitarianism, including his life. In almost a quarter of an hour, all the first-level officers of the garrison generals at the banquet were wiped out.

Yan Yi and most of the generals on the pass were killed by Li Yuan's surprise attack. The few remaining people were surrounded by hundreds of light soldiers and could not organize effective resistance in a hurry.

After Li Yuan officially raised the banner of the Qingjun side at the pass, most of the Qin troops laid down their weapons.

The only thing that caused some trouble for Li Yuan's army was the 200-man crossbow unit sent by Yan Le. The crossbow soldiers guarding a pass tried to resist and fight against the trapped beasts. After Ying Yushu appeared, this

A group of desperate Qin troops also began to surrender to Li Yuan's army.

Royalty, sometimes, is just a name and seems to have little power.

But sometimes, it represents orthodoxy and the hearts of the people of Qin. After Hu Hai disappointed the Qin soldiers time and time again, the appearance of Ying Yushu gave them hope again.

When the Qin Dynasty set, under the governance of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, the military nobility system collapsed, and other systems that were enacted by Shang Yang were also abolished in disguise. In Xianyang, if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you only need to join the Zhao clan.

After being disappointed again and again, the Qin soldiers at the bottom transferred all their anger towards the imperial court to their hatred towards Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

In just one night, Li Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to take the dangerous pass of Hangu. In front of him, he saw the plains of Guanzhong and the surging Wei River. From west to east, Li Yuan only had to lead his soldiers all the way up in the opposite direction.

It can point directly to Xianyang.

The capital of Da Qin, the most important city in this era.

In front of Li Yuan, he opened his arms.

——.

When Li Yuan defrauded Hangu Pass and planned to march into Xianyang, Prime Minister Zhao Gao was still immersed in the joy of calling a deer a horse and speaking out about government affairs.

Xianyang.

The spring cold is still there, and thick fur coats are still worn on the bodies of the people of Xianyang. Compared with the cities in Guandong that are in constant war, Xianyang City has not yet felt the threat of war. In fact, since the First Emperor ascended the throne, the various countries in Guandong have fought against Qin.

The threat is getting smaller and smaller, and the coalition forces, which are said to be one million, can only make a stop in front of Hangu Pass.

On the bank of Mount Li and next to the Wei River, the construction site of the Afang Palace was full of singing and dancing. Although the construction of the huge Afang Palace complex ordered by the First Emperor was temporarily suspended due to the approach of Chen Shengjun, after annihilating Zhou Wen's troops, the emperor Hu Hai, who was very happy with his success, ordered

, restart this project.

Zhao Gao disagreed with this. Hu Hai's son didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, but he, Zhao Gao, knew very well that the supply of the Guandong counter-rebellion army alone had already emptied the Qin State's treasury. If another construction project was launched, even if he had money, he would be

I can't find so many Xing disciples even in time.

He endured humiliation and heavy burden for more than ten years. After unremitting struggle and several scheming, he finally defeated the opponents who threatened his position one by one. Now, above him, there is the second generation Hu Hai who has become like a puppet and has been betrayed by everyone; below him

, are a group of ministers in the court who are frightened and dare not tell the truth.

Zhao Gao, who has reached the pinnacle of power in the Qin State, no longer pays much attention to Hu Hai, a student. In his opinion, the world of Qin belongs to him alone. If after a while, those disdainful people in the court will

If Xiaodu is obedient, Zhao Gao won't mind doing another amazing move.
