In mid-November, news came from Shanggu that Hazhusu suddenly attacked and killed Feng Youcheng in the county governor's mansion on the pretext that he had a secret message to hand over to Feng Youcheng's branch as an escort.
Feng Youcheng had been on the border for a long time and had good martial arts skills. He was seriously injured despite desperately resisting. Fortunately, the guards rushed in in time and saved his life. Hazhusu failed and committed suicide.
That night, Zalut led 30,000 cavalry to raid the pass leading to Donghu eastward. Unexpectedly, he ran into Feng Youcheng's hidden ambush here. The ambush directly sealed the pass. Zalut was in a dilemma. He wanted to follow Er's example and pass through the small road. Only to find that all the paths except for two passes were blocked by rocks!
At the end of December, Zalut was already dizzy. After waiting for a long time, Hajusu didn't even see a figure. Combined with the ambush at the pass, it was easy to figure out: the matter had been exposed!
Zarut seemed to have seen his end. Wu Jian's cavalry was in the west, the blocked pass was in the east, and the snowy frozen soil was in the north. He had no way out, so he desperately attacked the Shanggu Great Wall in an attempt to Occupy the Great Wall and survive the cold winter before making plans.
But how could Wu Jian give him a chance? The news had already reached Wu Jian within half a month. Without any hesitation, Wu Jian led 30,000 cavalry from north to south and penetrated Beihu again like Mao Dun.
In just five days, Wu Jian saw the Great Wall of Shanggu. Without any accident, Zalut and 20,000 people were captured.
At this point, all the nomadic peoples in the northern part of Da Qin were wiped out!
At the same time, various places in Daqin.
The people are preparing to spend the winter. The days are getting better day by day, which allows them to live in a relatively warm house without worrying about food and drink in the cold and windy winter. Everyone's face is filled with infinite longing for the future.
But in some places, there are undercurrents surging, and some people's lives are at stake!
Xianyang City, Xianyang Forbidden Garden.
In two months, the Xianyang Forbidden Garden was already empty. Twenty-four hundred nobles from the Six Kingdoms were sent to the Jiuyuan Forbidden Land despite the cold wind. While the remaining 600 people were still scolding Da Qin and me, they were in a Everyone died in the sudden fire, and the ashes were sent to the area around the Tianzi Temple to add fertility.
Yuyang County, Great Wall.
A group of soldiers galloped over and reined up their horses in front of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. The leader shouted: "Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, follow me!"
The two looked at each other and said cautiously: "General Baiji, what mistake have we made?"
The general said solemnly: "I don't know, don't ask!"
The two of them were taken away by General Bai without even bringing anything with them.
"Brother Sheng, was Dazexiang's conspiracy discovered that year?"
"No, we just had this idea and didn't put it into action. Except for you and me, we have never mentioned it to anyone else. We must be transferred to other places to supervise the construction of the Great Wall."
The same scene was playing out in every county. In each county, entire families disappeared inexplicably. When the pavilion chief found out, he immediately reported it to the government, but was told that these people had all gone to do corvee labor and left overnight because the project was urgent. .
The outstanding figures of the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty in various counties flowed from various places to Guanzhong like prisoners. They gradually gathered and were escorted to the Second Forbidden Area of Jiuyuan. Even they didn't know what happened. Who else could know?
Nanhai County, Panyu.
Liu Bang and Xiao He looked at the visitor and wondered: "Your Majesty ordered us to build ships here, why did you suddenly ask us to go elsewhere?"
The visitor's tone was harsh and he said coldly: "Your Majesty just said that there are more important things for you to do. Don't ask any more questions and set off immediately!"
The two had no choice but to simply pack up their things and follow the Forbidden Army northward.
"Pei Gong, has the emperor discovered our..."
"Silence! You know this, I know it, and God knows it, and it's impossible to be discovered! The big ship has just been built, and I don't think it will go too far. When you get the chance to get the ship... just follow it."
I don’t know what else they are thinking. The only thing they know better than them is that they will never have the chance to see the outside world again!
Xiangjun, Linchen.
Qi Liang cupped his hands and said: "General, since the handover has been completed, I will go to Panyu with General Nanshi, and then return to Xianyang to report to His Majesty!"
Zhao Tuo chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "You guard, be careful all the way!"
After watching Nan Shi and Qi Liang take away the 30,000 elite Qin troops, Zhao Tuo suppressed his smile and said leisurely: "Why did Madam let me surrender without mercy?"
Mi Yi's petite figure walked out of the house, gently took Zhao Tuo's hand, and sighed: "Husband, haven't you understood? Although I don't know what your majesty noticed, but why did your majesty ask this question at the court meeting for no reason? Do you think I am a female prostitute? The three counties in your husband's hands were taken away from Guilin County. Now you have ordered the right guard to come with you to Lingnan. The Qin army is also filled with your majesty's confidants and supervisors. What else can your husband do? "
Zhao Tuo stared blankly into the distance. This was the first time since he came to Lingnan that he didn't know where he was going. He was confused, hugged Mi Yi and said nothing.
Northland, Great Wall.
The faces of the 160,000 soldiers were filled with joy and they looked forward to their future life.
"Ji, I heard that your pretty little wife is already on her way here. Now you can enjoy the blessing!"
"Hehe, thanks to His Majesty for giving them money and food to come here. There is little land at home, but it will be doubled when we get to Jiuyuan. Although most of it has to be given to the brothers who are fighting, it is much better than at home!"
"Yes, I heard that Your Majesty has recruited 10,000 women to come here. If you like the ones you like, you can marry them back home. Although there may be more widows, there is always a wife to keep the bed warm!"
"Hahaha, what I'm talking about is, Le, you have to seize the opportunity. You usually kick the widow's door at home. This time, you can marry her home directly without being sneaky!"
"You kid, I'm already over thirty. Not to mention the widow, I recognize even the husband! You have to leave someone with a handle to spread the incense for me!"

In mid-January, Feng Youcheng returned to Xianyang with the captured Zalut and the Beihu royal family.
Looking at Zarut in front of me, I only asked one sentence: "Why did you betray me!"
Zalut's eyes were dull, and the blood scab on his face was still bleeding. He said sadly: "Titomul is the leader of Donghu and my father! Although he did not die in the hands of Da Qin, Da Qin took the opportunity to attack We plundered Donghu, I won’t dare to forget such a great hatred for one day!”
I glanced at him, but I didn't expect that Titomur was actually his father. But now there is nothing more to say. I said calmly: "It's courageous to strike an egg against a stone. What else do you have to say?"
Zalut's eyes changed, and he began to beg. He whispered: "I just want to die quickly, but my child is only three years old, let him live!"
I said coldly: "Betrayal requires a price."
Then he waved his hand, and the imperial guards immediately picked him up and dragged him out.
The next day, more than thirty members of the Beihu royal family and tribal leaders were killed on the outskirts of Xianyang.
