Luoyang, study room.

Since Xiang Zheng's army used a stimulus general to mobilize Li Zuoche's army and from the time Pi successfully crossed the river, Xiang Zhuang's emotions were completely mobilized. In the past few days, he and Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, Baili Xian and others ate and slept in the study. While discussing military information on the map, he was waiting for the success of Xiang Zheng's army.

However, the first thing that came was Shangyong's defeat.

After reading the Tang newspaper, Xiang Zhuang and Bailixian were quite calm, but Xiang Tuo jumped up in anger.

"Borrowing a knife to kill people, Bi Shu is clearly tying a knife to kill people!" Xiang Tuo said furiously, "He knew that Bai Mo was not Yi and others, why did he ask Huan Chu and Ji Bu to chase them? He chased them, so why did he only ask the two veteran generals to bring 5,000 soldiers? Shangyong has a large army of 200,000, so why did Bi Shu only give 5,000 people?"

Xiang and Baili Xian looked at each other, Xiang Tuo really dared to say this guy.

"Zi Yan is serious." Xiang Zhuang frowned and scolded, "The General is not that kind of person."

"What the king said is that the general sent two veteran generals Huan and Ji to lead troops to pursue them. It is also common for the enemy to be defeated but not pursued, and the military strategists did not take them. As for only ordering the two veteran generals to lead five thousand troops, it was helpless. Because the Han army abandoned the baggage and marched very quickly, they could only condemn a small number of elite soldiers to catch up." Baili Xian said this, but he absolutely did not think so in his heart.

Bailixian was very clear about Bi Shu's idea. Bi Shu's move had three major intentions: First, take the opportunity to eliminate Huan Chu and Ji Bu, weaken the power of Xiang Yu or Xiang Zhi for the king, and further consolidate the royal power; second, through this defeat, he slandered his reputation, eliminated the influence of his undefeated military god, especially eliminated the doubts in the king's heart; third, deliberately created conflicts with Xiang Zhi, and lay the groundwork for one day to serve.

However, Baili Xian knew better that Bi Shu was slandering, and it was difficult to eliminate the doubts in the king's heart. It is necessary to know that the king is also an extremely wise person. How could he not guess Bi Shu's idea?

Xiang Tuo was still angry and said angrily: "King, even if Bi Shu is not suspected of killing people with a knife, he will be defeated this time and must be punished heavily, at least he will be cut off from his title of Duke Wu!"

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed after the Battle of Pinghan ends."

When Xiang Zheng appeared in front of the Weiyang Palace gate surrounded by Gao Lang and hundreds of personal soldiers, the black Chu army soldiers had already surrounded the entire palace, and then transferred ladders, crashes and other equipment and supplies from outside the city. There were also teams of archers lined up on the periphery, as if they were preparing to attack Weiyang Palace.

On the wall of Weiyang Palace, there were also Han army imperial guards running back and forth, shouting and shouting.

From time to time, sparse arrows fell from the palace walls, but were blocked by the heavy armor of the Chu army in the front team with oar shields and large shields. Even if the arrows hit the Chu soldiers, they were often blocked by the heavy iron armor.

As long as we reach this point, everyone knows that Weiyang Palace can't be defended at all.

Han King Liu Heng stood on the palace gate archway surrounded by the veteran general Mei Jing and the right general Sun Shang, the imperial guards, and his heart was filled with depression. Xianyang finally defended, the Han Kingdom was finally destroyed, and the foundation that the father-in-law handed over to him was finally about to be defeated.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from the Chu army formation outside the palace gate: "My prince of Great Chu State has something to say, and King Liu Heng of Han stepped forward to answer!"

When Liu Heng, Mei Jing and Uncle Sun Shang looked down, Chu Jia outside the palace gate had already moved away to both sides and walked out of the middle of more than a dozen Chu generals. The first Chu general grew up, was majestic, and was covered with a bright yellow cloak. It was undoubtedly Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu.

"King, wait until the last time, I will shoot this guy!" Uncle Sun Shang said and wanted to pull the bow.

Liu Heng held down his uncle Sun Shang's hands, shook his head at the old general Mei Yu, then slowly walked to the archway, and said arrogantly to Xiang Zheng, the prince of Chu in front of the palace gate downstairs, "I am here, just say something."

Xiang Zheng looked at the Han army archers who were holding bows and arrows on the archway, and smiled indifferently, "King of Han, there is no need for the prince to say much about the current situation. If you issue an edict to surrender, you can save the palace maids from death, and you can also save the people of Xianyang from the disaster of war. If you insist on your own and resist to the end, the entire Xianyang will be filled with blood and corpses."

"Child Xiang Zheng, there is no coward in our Han Dynasty!" Shusun Shang said furiously, "If you have the guts, attack the city. If you can't kill you, I will not be named Shusun."

Xiang Zheng's expression suddenly became cold and he asked, "King of Han, is this really your answer?"

Liu Heng's face changed again and again, and finally sighed, turned around and ordered Shusun Shang, "General Shusun, open the palace gate and welcome the Chu army in."

After a moment, the Weiyang Palace Gate slowly opened.

Gao Lang swarmed in with the iron armor of the Chu army, and saw that all the imperial guards in the palace had gathered in the courtyard of the front hall, and the middle aisle was filled with weapons thrown by the Han army. Gao Lang gave the order, the Chu army's iron armor was forced forward with swords and knifes, and escorted the Han army's imperial guards and the eunuchs in the palace to settle outside the city.

After the palace was confirmed to be safe, Xiang Zheng brought his personal soldiers into the palace.

When they arrived at Wende Hall, King Liu Heng of Han had already knelt under the palace steps, holding the seal with his hands high, and behind him were a large group of concubines and palace maids. Seeing Xiang Zheng coming in surrounded by a large group of iron armor, these concubines and palace maids were all fascinated and had a look of fighting. They didn't know what fate would be waiting for them.

"The King of Han asked to get up." Xiang Zheng stepped forward to take the seal and helped Liu Heng up.

When Xiang Zheng's eyes accidentally flew over Dou Yifang's face kneeling behind Liu Heng, he couldn't help but pause and asked Liu Heng: "King of Han, this person is..."

Liu Heng's heart was bitter and he said with a slouching voice: "It's my queen Dou."

"It turns out to be the queen." Xiang Zheng nodded at Dou Yifang, then turned around and ordered Gao Lang, "General Gao Lang, we should send more iron-armored soldiers to strictly protect the Weiyang Palace, especially to protect the safety of the King of Han and the concubines in the harem."

"Yes!" Gao Lang responded with a loud noise and responded to the personal soldiers who were following behind him, saying, "Send the order to block the forbidden palace. Without the orders of the prince or the general, no one is allowed to enter and exit without authorization. Those who violate the order... shall behead!"

After the surrender edict of King Liu Heng of Han, the Han army stationed in various gates of Xianyang surrendered one after another.

More than 5,000 Qiang soldiers responsible for attacking the west gate of Xianyang swarmed into the city. After slaughtering dozens of barbarian tribes along the way, these Qiang soldiers had already become murderous demons. Looking at the warehouses and shops all over the streets, the houses lined up, and the red men and green women hiding at home in a hurry, these Qiang soldiers were immediately fierce.

Almost from the moment they entered the city, the Qiang soldiers began to burn, kill, and loot. For a moment, the sound of killing in the entire Xianyang Xicheng was shocking. Groups of Qiang soldiers were carrying swords, guns, swords and halberds, knocked open the door, climbed over the wall of the courtyard. They killed everyone when they saw them and robbed things when they saw them. The slightly handsome young lady was even more tragic in the street...

Pang Zheng was shocked and angry, hurriedly found Xiang Zhi and said, "Criminal, you must stop these Qiang soldiers as soon as possible. If you let them continue to slaughter, the people of the entire Xianyang City will be killed by them!"

Xiang Zhi waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "It's just some untouchables in the enemy country, and you'll kill them if you kill them."

"The prince's words are wrong!" Pang Zheng said anxiously, "The King of Han has surrendered and the Han State has been destroyed. These people are now the people of the Great Chu State and are no longer the untouchables of the enemy country."

"Okay, Pang Zheng, you don't need to say more." Xiang Zhi frowned and said unhappily, "This prince knows it."

When Pang Zheng was about to persuade him again, Xiang Zhi had already driven away impatiently. The dozen Qiang generals who were following Xiang Zhi turned to look at Pang Zheng, with bad expressions. Although Pang Zheng was a captain of the Qiang protection camp, this Qiang soldier was nominally controlled by him, but Pang Zheng always advocated restraining the Qiang soldiers along the way, while Xiang Zhi advocated indulging the Qiang soldiers. Therefore, the Qiang soldiers had already obeyed Xiang Zhi and abandoned the Qiang soldiers, the nominal Qiang soldiers commander.

As soon as Xiang Zheng transferred out of Weiyang Palace, he met another Sima who was covered in blood.

"Crown Prince, something happened!" The Sima of another department bowed to Xiang Zheng and said anxiously, "The Qiang soldiers who entered the city from the west gate are burning, killing and looting in the Xicheng of Xianyang. The prince even led hundreds of people to the Changle Palace!"

"What? Second brother is simply a mess!" Xiang Zheng frowned, pointed to the blood on the battle robe of Sima in other departments, and asked, "You were fine just now, what's going on?"

Sima from another army said tragically: "Justice tried to stop the Qiang soldiers from committing a crime just now, but these Qiang soldiers were very fierce and attacked the Qiang soldiers without saying a word. All the dozens of soldiers who followed the Qiang soldiers were killed. Although the Qiang soldiers escaped by chance, they were also cut more than a dozen times."

"It's so unreasonable! It's so unreasonable!" Xiang Zheng was furious when he heard this and immediately ordered Sima of another department to say, "You can summon a large army and control Xicheng to the prince. The Qiang soldiers dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately and kill them on the spot!"

"Here!" Sima from other troops replied with a loud noise and went there with murderous intent.

Xiang Zheng rushed to the Sima who were following behind him, and the Junhou shouted: "You guys, follow the prince to Changle Palace!"

The Changle Palace was originally a royal palace built by Xiao He for Liu Bang. Later, the Weiyang Palace was built, and Liu Bang moved to the Weiyang Palace, and Changle Palace became the eastern palace of the crown prince Liu Ying. Later, Liu Heng ascended the throne and had no prince for the time being, Changle Palace became the bedroom of the empress dowager Bo Ji. In addition to Bo Ji, there were hundreds of Liu Bang's concubines living in Changle Palace.

When Xiang Zheng led his troops to Changle Palace, he saw that the palace gate was wide open, and several eunuchs were lying on the steps, with blood stains on their bodies. He was already very angry. When he entered the palace, he saw the eunuchs in the palace lying all over the ground in the courtyard, and there were sometimes the corpses of palace maids, and their clothes were not covered and their lower bodies were dirty.
