All three heroes of the Uri clan were killed, and the morale of Yan Le's army was low, and their fighting spirit was low. In desperation, Yan Le had no choice but to order a retreat, but he did not expect that in the fierce battle, retreat would be much more difficult than attacking.

The whole army was defeated!

What unlucky person would be responsible for such a heavy responsibility as the end of the war? Obviously, no one under Yan Le could share his worries, so that the retreat eventually turned into a big rout!

Li Yuan's army covered up the massacre for dozens of miles, killing Yan's army with their corpses lying on the ground. The more than 20,000 Yan's army at the time of the expedition were considered to be strong soldiers and horses. However, only less than 3,000 people escaped back to Xianyang City. What's more, the order

What is disturbing is that Xianyang's army has almost been wiped out of its junior generals. With Li Yuan's troops pressing down on the border, Xianyang is already an undefended city.

Faced with such a defeat, Prime Minister Zhao Gao, who was sitting in Xianyang, wanted to cry. In terms of commanding operations, Yan Le was already the most outstanding general among Zhao Gao's line. The rest, Zhao Cheng and others, might be able to play with their own minds. Really?

I simply don’t have the courage to fight with real swords and spears.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

The traffic of cars no longer existed. The news of Yan Le's defeat spread quickly throughout the city as if it had wings. Those people who were just outside the wall had disappeared early at this time. They were just looking forward to getting through this period and couldn't see clearly.

The days of the current situation; those who had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Gao said excitedly in private that they had been patient for a long time, and now they finally saw a glimmer of light for turning over.

main hall.

Zhao Gao, Zhao Cheng, Yan Le and all the Zhao family and Yan Le dignitaries all arrived. Yan Le, who had just escaped from Leyouyuan, even abandoned his armor on the road and returned to Xianyang wearing only a small coat.

"What should we do? Let's talk about it. This thief Li is about to enter the city." Zhao Gao had an unhealthy blush on his face. These days, he couldn't eat well or sleep well, and he had nightmares almost every day.

, I dreamed that the First Emperor crawled out of the mausoleum and wanted to settle accounts with him.

"Prime Minister, if you lose this battle, please punish me for the crime of pleasure." Yan Le said angrily. His words were said to be punishment, but he obviously had a serious intention.

"Ah Weng, Ah Le almost lost his life this time. There are injuries all over his body, which is terrible." Zhao Rong was pulled over by Yan Le for the purpose of persuading him.

"Forget it, the enemy is facing us now. It's not time to blame anyone. Let's discuss how to stop the Li thief!" Zhao Gao sighed and said in a daze. Faced with Li Yuan, who was unreasonable and unreasonable,

He has a sense of help from the beginning.

"Prime Minister, the Li thieves are powerful. We might as well retreat for the time being. The general's troops are in the Jiyuan area. We can take the emperor with us." Zhao Cheng thought for a while and came up with an idea. Compared with the conspiracy of his elder brother Zhao Gao,

There is a big gap between Zhao Cheng and Zhao Cheng in terms of ruthlessness and wisdom, and timidity is his signature weakness.

When he heard that Li Yuan's army was about to attack, Zhao Chengshi was trembling with fear. The Zhao and Li families had already been at odds with each other. If Li Yuan entered the city, no one in the Zhao family would survive.

"Jiyuan, it's such a long distance, and we have the burden of Hu Hai, how can we go fast? This proposal is not feasible." Yan Le shook his head. From Xianyang to Jiyuan, when Hangu Pass was captured by Li Yuan's army, he could only go north.

Taking Yunzhong County, the detour is no less than a thousand miles. With the royal family's slow marching speed, wouldn't they be chased by Li Yuan's army as soon as they leave the city?

"Humph, you are not a gentleman, and you are not a husband who is poisonous. If you can't escape, then let's kill him. Yan Le, go to the prison and show me Li Si, his father and his son, and the descendants of the guilty officials. If Thief Li

If he dares to attack Xianyang, I will let him be the first to see Li Si's head." Zhao Gao said bitterly, with fierce intent in his eyes.

From June of the second year to February of the third year, former Prime Minister Li Si had been detained for nearly eight months. According to historical records, Li Si and his son had already been beheaded by Zhao Gao on the streets of Xianyang, and the reason why they have been detained so far

Not dead yet, this is the purpose of Zhao Gaoliu's move. When there is a powerful opponent like Li Yuan outside, a living Li Si will be more useful to him than a dead Li Si.

Hostages are the best weapon against attack.

As long as he can last for a month, Zhao Gao believes that General Zhang Han's troops will quickly return to the rescue and capture and kill Li Yuan, a young man.

Leyou Yuan Dajie.

Li Yuan's army has basically established the ownership of Xianyang. The next step is to organize the troops and horses, pursue the victory, and capture Zhao Gao and others who are righteous in the Qing Dynasty.

Yan Le was defeated and the defeated soldiers fled in all directions. After several discussions with Xin Sheng and other Guanzhong elders who were accompanying the army to watch the battle, Li Yuan came up with a plan in which elders from all over the country came forward to appease the defeated soldiers.

For ordinary Qin soldiers, Zhao Gao's chaotic government did not bring them any benefits, and naturally they did not have to bear any responsibility. Under the unfavorable situation of few men in Guanzhong, every soldier was a valuable asset.

, you are not allowed to trap and kill at will.

February 28th.

After pacifying the counties around Xianyang, Li Yuan sent troops to Xianyang and blocked Baqiao, the traffic intersection from Xianyang to the east. He stationed heavy troops on one side. This was Li Yuan's cleverness. A big city like Xianyang was not his fault.

An army of 10,000 to 20,000 can besiege it on all sides.

If Zhao Gao wants to escape, it's just right. Luo Jia's cavalry is worried about not having enough in the Leyouyuan battle. Attacking and killing thousands of miles is what the cavalry likes to do most. What's more, the object of pursuit is still hated by everyone.

Zhao Gao.

Baqiao East.

Li Yuan's army was stationed here.

At this time, the east gate of Xianyang City is no longer bustling with people and cars, the tall and closed city gates, and the nervous soldiers of Yan Le on the city. All these indicate that this Qin Dynasty will

The countdown to the fall of the capital has begun.

"Report to the general, there is a messenger coming from the city." A scout from Li Yuanjun shouted into the account.

"Send it up." Chen Ping was in a good mood and ordered with a smile. The tension of the war had dissipated. Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan's dangerous actions, Chen Ping also understood that a country is easy to change, but his nature is hard to change.

, it is probably impossible to expect Li Yuan to sit quietly in the army and watch from beginning to end.

"What's going on?" Li Yuan was looking down at the silk map of Xianyang. His eyes had already crossed Xianyang, an isolated city, to the direction of Hanzhong south of the Qinling Mountains, where his old rival Liu Bang's troops were rapidly advancing westward. In a few days,

, Liu Bang's vanguard will appear on the Guanzhong Plain.

"General, this is a letter from Zhao Gao. He asked for peace talks with us on the condition that Prime Minister Li and his son be released." Chen Ping opened the letter and after reading it, his breathing began to quicken.

"So what if you, Li Yuan, have soldiers and generals? If you want to make plans, you are still a little immature. If you want to kill me, just be more honest with me?" Zhao Gao's intentions were easily guessed by Chen Ping.
