The voice was not made by anyone but the Taiwei, who also came with a thousand guards.
"Lieutenant!"
Lang Zhongling saluted the Taiwei and asked the five hundred guards to stop what they were doing.
Zhang Han was slightly startled when he saw the Taiwei, but he was secretly happy.
The Taiwei is one of the three princes, and it is his duty to patrol and supervise the war. Moreover, the Taiwei has a good reputation in the court, so he must be able to speak for him.
Then he stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Captain, there are thieves who want to open the city gate, but Lang Zhongling has wronged me. Please make the decision."
The Taiwei smiled and did not answer immediately, but ordered a thousand guards to spread out and surround Zhang Han and others.
Zhang Han was shocked when he saw this. He immediately increased his vigilance, looked around, and held the sword tightly in his hand.
"Lieutenant, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Isn't it very clear? You colluded with the rebels to open the city gate. I am here to arrest you on your Majesty's order." The Taiwei's smiling face immediately became serious and he pointed at Zhang Han.
"The guards will obey the order and immediately capture Zhang Han. Anyone who resists will be killed."
When the word "kill" came out, a thousand guards surrounded Zhang Han and others, and the five hundred archers ordered by Lang Zhongling also aimed at Zhang Han and others.
Zhang Han was furious and wanted to say something, but he knew it was all unnecessary.
There was a moment of despair, and there was no room for resistance at this moment.
He thought that the Taiwei was here to save him, but he didn't know that he was in the same group as Lang Zhongling.
A group? Zhang Han was shocked. If the Taiwei and Lang Zhongling were in the same group, the next step would be bad.
Lang Zhongling controls Xianyang City, and his people can open the city gate at any time. The Taiwei is in charge of the military. If he controls himself, he can transfer the city defense troops out of the city openly. What about Xianyang City?
"Quick, with my order, you must mobilize the city defense troops, otherwise Xianyang will be in danger." Zhang Han could no longer care so much, and ordered the soldiers and guards around him, "I will break through, and those who can rush out will rush out immediately."
"Hmph! The rebels still want to mobilize troops!" The Taiwei said sarcastically, "Take it down!"
As soon as the sound fell, a thousand troops pressed forward. No matter how they resisted, Rong Zhanghan and others were always unable to defeat him. After dozens of people died, Zhang Han was captured.
The Taiwei came over, took the token from the guard, and threw it to Lang Zhongling, "The enemy is attacking the north gate. Immediately mobilize all the soldiers from the east gate to the north gate with the token."
"No!" Lang Zhongling showed a strange smile on his lips and galloped away.
"You, you, you can't." When Zhang Han saw this, he was like a crazy beast, struggling constantly, but was helplessly held down by several people and unable to move.
The rebel army was stationed at the east gate, and the Taiwei was transferred away, which was obviously treason.
At this moment, the words 'thief army and party members' came to mind.
He was on guard day and night, guarded against fine craftsmen, guarded against Lang Zhongling, but could not guard against Taiwei. As one of the three princes, he actually committed treason. No one could have imagined such behavior.
"Are you also a spy of the bandit army?" Zhang Han gritted his teeth, spat at the Taiwei, and said angrily.
The Taiwei stopped pretending and spoke a few words to the people around him. They nodded and ran towards the city gate.
"What are you going to do? No." Zhang Han's expression changed, knowing what he was going to do.
"What are you doing? What can you do? Just open the city gate and let the army in. The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time. Today, it should also perish."
The lieutenant completely lost his disguise and no longer concealed his words.
"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish you?"
"Consecrate my crime? Hehe! Now that things have happened, does he still have the ability to do so? As long as I open the city gate and Xiang Gong's army comes in, Ying Zheng will become a prisoner. How can he still have the ability to punish me?"
The Taiwei laughed arrogantly, so unscrupulously.
"You? You are so treasonous, there will be retribution."
Zhang Han was desperate.
The city gates were opened and the army was mobilized. Xianyang City was completely defenseless and the bandits could capture it without any effort.
Qin will perish.
"Retribution? Yes, there will be retribution, but it is not on me, but on Ying Zheng. He destroyed the Six Kingdoms and how many people died tragically in his hands. At this moment, this is his retribution."
The Taiwei paced slowly, raised his head to the sky, and raised his hands, "Gong Xiang is the one to whom the world belongs. Only by being loyal to Gong Xiang can we have a future. Zhang Han, don't blame me, everyone is his own master."
"Quickly, open the city gate and kill Zhang Han at the same time."
The Taiwei shouted, he had been plotting for a long time and now he was about to see the results.
Duke Xiang had promised him that after Ying Zheng was destroyed, he would be the prime minister who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, and he would be the only prime minister.
He is not satisfied with Taiwei, he needs more. He wants everyone in the world to surrender at his feet, kneeling and calling him 'Prime Minister'. Furthermore, he has been in contact with Duke Xiang several times and knows his ambitions. It's not just Da Qin, his plans are so broad that no one knows.
He is willing to be loyal to such a person.
"No!" Zhang Han screamed as he watched the Taiwei's men remove the bolt and push the city gate with all their strength.
However, there is no use in shouting. Within a few breaths, the city gate will open and the bandits will invade. By then, Xianyang will change hands.
Of course, he couldn't see what happened at that moment, because a man was walking towards him with a long sword, showing a fierce look.
He was still resisting, but the strength of the people who captured him was so strong that he couldn't move. Seeing that the person who wanted to kill him was getting closer and closer, the sword was also raised, getting closer and closer.
He closed his eyes in despair.
"General, I'm sorry, I can't defend Xianyang."
His voice was hoarse, and the figure of Li Zhao flashed through his mind, the man who left Xianyang alone to fight the enemy but left Xianyang to him.
He was very unwilling, endlessly unwilling. He was about to die, but not on the battlefield, but by these shameless traitors.
"Death!" As soon as the sound came and the sword came, he felt death coming.
At this moment, when his eyes were completely closed, death was only a hair away from him. Suddenly, a scream came from his side, but the sword did not penetrate his body.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw dense arrows coming like rain, followed by the unusually loud sound of horse hooves.
Tap tap tap!
Very dense and very neat.
Ahhhh!
The Taiwei's thousand guards had no idea what was happening, so they were hit by dense arrows and screamed in agony.
Zhang Han saw clearly that this was the city defense cavalry, a cavalry that only His Majesty could mobilize. This cavalry was the best among the best. Not only were they skilled in riding skills, they were also excellent in archery, and the leader was none other than Prime Minister Feng.
Prime Minister Feng is here, here to save him, here to save Da Qin.
Zhang Han was overjoyed. When his captors were in panic, he snatched the long sword of one of them, stabbed them back with a few fierce thrusts, and then stabbed them down, then flew towards the city gate.
At this moment, they had opened the door a crack. If it were opened wider, thieves would definitely see it, and the trouble would be big. He had to put down those people as soon as possible and bolt the city gate again.
"Quickly, kill him, kill him!"
When the Taiwei saw Feng Quji arriving, he was obviously panicked, but seeing Zhang Han like this, he immediately asked the guards who had not been shot down to kill Zhang Han.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Taiwei's guards shot arrows at Zhang Han.
Zhang Han realized the danger. He rolled forward and dodged the arrows well. He rolled with his backhand and rolled under the city gate. He stabbed out with a knife. However, several people seemed to be prepared and dodged well. The two men immediately rushed towards Zhang Han.
"Open the city gate quickly!"
The Taiwei shouted urgently and led more than a hundred people who were still alive to rush towards this side.
He knew that since Feng Quji came in person and brought His Majesty's elite troops, His Majesty must have known about his evil intentions. If he stayed, he would be destined to die. He had to open the city gate and escape immediately to save his life. .
At the same time, if the rebel army enters the city, his rebellion will be successful.
"Lieutenant, stop struggling fearlessly. As long as I give the order, you will die. Of course, don't think that the rebel army will save you, because you can't open the city gate at all."
The lieutenant didn't believe it, so he glanced at Feng Quji and continued running forward, only to find that the people who were opening the city gate were all dead. Two of them died at the hands of Zhang Han, and the others were shot to death by random arrows.
Zhang Han moved quickly and closed the city gate and bolted it.
The lieutenant stopped, and one could see his panic. His legs were still shaking slightly. He knew that it was impossible for him to get out. He was very desperate, but he managed to stay calm.
He wanted to know why he was discovered by Feng Quji even though he knew he was doing it secretly.
Looking at Feng Quji walking over, he asked, "How did you find me? I didn't do anything during this time?"
Feng Quji smiled and ordered the cavalry to take down the Taiwei's guards and others, but left the Taiwei alone standing there.
"No, I didn't find you, I just suspected you!"
"Why do you doubt me?" The lieutenant trembled, knowing that all his efforts were gone, but he still couldn't understand why Feng Quji appeared and seemed to be prepared when the plan was about to succeed.
"Actually, it's very simple. Ever since your Majesty came to the east, he has concluded that there are gang members of the traitor army in the court. However, the gang members are hidden too deeply and cannot be found out no matter how hard you check. Your Majesty has suspected Jia Xiong and the clan leader, but he has not suspected them. In your case, you can only wait and see what happens in the end."
"In that case, when did Your Majesty suspect me?" Before he died, the Taiwei wanted to know why.
"It's very simple!" Feng Quji smiled, "Li Zhao was named the chief general, but he has been unable to take up the post. Who do you think His Majesty would suspect?"
"Also, you acted too eagerly just now, as if the city defense army was useless and would definitely be defeated. This only strengthened His Majesty's suspicion. However, Your Majesty did not move. He was waiting for you to do something."
"That's it!" The Taiwei closed his eyes and secretly thought that he had been negligent. He and Jia Xiong were the ones who hindered Li Zhao's appointment and blocked all news.
Of course, he also expected that Li Zhao would not say anything and try to hide the truth.
In fact, they could have done this more perfectly. It was just that Duke Xiang was pressing too hard and the flaw was revealed. Of course, if he was discovered at that time, he could have been justified. Taking office immediately or taking office later does not matter. After all, it is necessary to change the commander-in-chief in the army. Programs are required.
I absolutely shouldn't have been too impatient just now.
"It's all my fault for being too hasty." The Taiwei sighed, but at the next moment he showed a ferocious look, "What if I was discovered by you? Hehe! It's too late, the army has been transferred by Lang Zhongling, Xiang Gong's army has arrived, Xianyang will still be broken , won’t you also become prisoners by then?”
"If you know the truth, please let me go out of the city. When Duke Xiang's army captures Xianyang, maybe I will ask Duke Xiang to let you go."
"Really?" Feng Quji sneered, "Since His Majesty suspects you, how can you not be prepared? In fact, when Li Zhao's memorial arrived, Your Majesty had already made arrangements secretly. I am afraid that the guards have already captured the order of Lang Zhong."
"What?" The captain was shocked, "Li Zhao is traitorous to the country. Doesn't your Majesty not believe his words?"
"Haha!" Feng Quji teased, "Your Majesty trusts Li Zhao more than anyone else, so how can he change his view of Li Zhao just because of your few words? That's just a show for you. "
"You, you" At this moment, the captain felt deeply frightened.
While the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Prime Minister Feng, we can capture the traitor. His Majesty has said that if the traitor is captured, he will be immediately taken to Xianyang Prison. Your Majesty will personally interrogate this matter."
The person who came was none other than Shang Xin. Ying Zheng asked him to come over and take a look at the situation. He already knew the situation in the city, and he wanted to personally intervene in this judgment of thieves.
Feng Quji held up his hand and said, "Please give me a moment, father-in-law. Quji will take it down right now and send it to Xianyang Prison."
Feng Quji waved his hand, and someone escorted the Taiwei's guards away.
"If you don't catch me quickly, do you want to be shot to death by random arrows?" Feng Quji shouted when he saw that the Taiwei still held the weapon in his hand.
The Taiwei looked around, especially when he saw that all the guards around him had been captured. Knowing that the situation was over, he closed his eyes deeply, but he could not be captured like this, he still wanted to gain leverage for himself.
"Haha!" He laughed suddenly, "So what if you guys see through it? Duke Xiang's army has deadly weapons. Once this weapon comes out, Xianyang will be destroyed. This weapon is an artillery. You know what an artillery is. I'm sure you know what it is. I don’t know!”
"I'll tell you." When the captain thought of this, he suddenly became calm.
He had seen Xiang Gong's artillery before, and it was terrifying.
"Artillery?" Feng Quji interrupted him and was startled. He had heard the word 'artillery' from His Majesty before. According to His Majesty, it was a very terrifying thing. Fortunately, Li Zhao discovered it. And sent troops to capture it.
At this moment? This is not to say that the rebels brought more than just what they captured. From the looks of it, it was troublesome.
Seeing Feng Quji's expression, the expressions of the people around him also changed. Although they had never heard of artillery, Prime Minister Feng's expression must have been something powerful.
"Hey!" The captain was very proud when he saw everyone's expressions. He secretly thought that it was the artillery that frightened them after all, and he might be able to use this as a bargaining chip to save himself.
"If you are wise, let me go and open the city gate. Maybe I can prevent Duke Xiang's army from using artillery to deal with you."
As soon as the Taiwei finished speaking, he was laughed at by someone, "Hey! Artillery is nothing, it's just a small weapon."
The person who spoke was Shang Xin. Of course, in his eyes, the so-called artillery was just a small weapon. Although he had never seen it, no matter how terrifying it was, how could it be compared with Li Zhao's terrifying thing?
