"It's time for this to end. Let's go back to Shanglin Garden."
Things were almost over here. Li Zhao stretched himself and said to the attendants very tiredly.
It's time to go back after being away for so long. This place is deep in the mountains and there are many mosquitoes. It's really not a place for people to stay.
He had just ordered people to contact Wang Li, and he believed that Wang Li could fulfill his mission, which was to persuade Zhang Han to surrender, and extended an olive branch to ensure the safety of his family members, so that none of his soldiers would be harmed after the surrender.
I believe this olive branch is big enough, and if he has a brain, he will consider it.
Of course, there is another point that he does not hide, that is, he is the one who planned Xiang Yu and Liu Jijun, and he is the leader of the rebel army. I believe Zhang Han will make the right choice after hearing this. After all, their relationship is good.
Moreover, Zhang Han was not welcomed at all in Hu Hai's Qin Dynasty. He was just a tool. Otherwise, if Zongzheng went to Hangu Pass, Hangu Pass would be easily taken. It would be hard to tell if there were no ghosts here.
Just like Zhao Gao in history, the reason why Zhou Wen was able to break through was that he did not want Zhang Han's family to dominate, thus threatening his own status. The overt and covert fights between the government and the opposition were terrifying and suffocating.
Zhang Han will naturally judge these.
So, Li Zhao and his party went back. There were dozens of people when they came and dozens of people when they left.
Julu, the war began, Xiang Yu's army and Zhang Han's army went into full battle.
Even though Zhang Han had a large number of people, he could not stop the red cannon that could kill the enemy two miles away. Before the two armies came into contact, the Qin army lost less than half.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to Hangu Pass"
Seeing that his own army had no resistance, Zhang Han went crazy with anxiety and immediately issued a retreat order.
At present, the best strategy is to withdraw from Hangu Pass and defend it, but it is unrealistic to still think about defeating Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu is invincible at this moment.
"Retreat! Withdraw to Hangu Pass." A galloping horse passed the order. The prisoner army had already lost their fighting spirit and retreated towards Hangu Pass. Xiang Yu's army's morale was unprecedentedly high, and they followed closely behind.
Gradually, more Qin troops were destroyed, and the 400,000-strong army fell sharply.
"General, it's not good. There are bandits blocking the road ahead, completely blocking the way back to Hangu Pass. They still have artillery. If our army breaks through, we will pay a heavy price."
The galloping horse came to retaliate, which made Zhang Han's mood instantly fall to the bottom.
"What? Whose army does it have? It also has artillery?"
"They came from the direction of Dingtao. They must have been severely defeated by Xiang Liang's army who captured my artillery with 100,000 troops."
"Xiang Liang's army? Hundreds of artillery pieces will definitely be needed. We can't wait any longer!" Zhang Han was extremely desperate. There were pursuers behind him and interceptors in front. The weapons were quite advanced. No matter how he tried to escape, he couldn't escape the palm of his hand.
"General, if you fight Xiang Liang, you might be able to break out."
Zhang Han shook his head and stood there firmly, his eyes wandering among Xiang Yu's troops who were attacking from both sides.
"It's useless. So what if Xiang Liang's army breaks through and defends Hangu Pass? Xiang Yu's army has such artillery and will blast Hangu Pass open one day. How about we wait?"
Another thing he didn't say was that if they were defeated, it would be hell when they returned to Xianyang. No one would plead for his defeat, and they would even double down on him and put him to death.
"What should we do?" The deputy general had no idea. How could Zhang Han have another idea? They could only look ahead bleakly, looking at the many standing artillery pieces aimed at them.
However, strangely, Xiang Yujun's artillery suddenly stopped bombarding with tacit understanding, and a man from his own side stepped out. He was Wang Li
A few days later, Li Zhao returned to Shanglinyuan and suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
After nearly two months of marching, Shanglinyuan gradually recovered. Even more people poured into Shanglinyuan, which put a lot of pressure on the security of Shanglinyuan. However, with the guard team in charge, there was no trouble.
Investigating the reason, Li Zhao also knew why so many people poured in. In fact, there was an insurrectionary attack in Xianyang. The people were frightened and came to Shanglinyuan to seek shelter.
In fact, Shanglin Garden is the safest place at this moment, and there is no way to damage it without tens of thousands of troops.
However, this is fine. If Shanglinyuan wants to prosper, it depends on the flow of people. With more people, the revenue will naturally increase, which will promote the economy of Shanglinyuan.
But one thing he was worried about was that Shangguan was not found from the beginning to the end, and naturally Yin Man was nowhere to be found.
What happened to Yin Man?
He hurriedly went to look for the young master, and received the news that there was no news about Yin Man, let alone the whereabouts of the Shangguan.
This is strange. With such a large-scale war, why is there no sign of Shangguan? Could it be that both he and Duke Xiang escaped? Or maybe they are still planning something secretly, and are the ghosts in Shanglin Garden related to him?
A series of questions came to my mind, and my originally happy mood turned bad.
A few days later, General Lu brought news that Zhou Wen's troops encountered the Qin army after entering Xiting. They were defeated due to lack of combat experience. Finally, they withdrew from Hangu Pass, encountered Xiang Yu's troops, and defeated the Qin army.
After half of the army led by Zhang Han was annihilated, he chose to rebel and led an army of 200,000 to surrender to Xiang Yu.
Li Zhao nodded. This was almost as expected, but surprisingly, Zhou Wen did not die, and Xiang Liang did not die either. This was considered a happy ending.
At this point, Hu Hai's Qin Qi has been exhausted. I wonder how panicked Hu Hai is at this moment. Will Guild Xiang show up?
"And where is Liu Ji? Is there any news?"
"Yes, Liu Ji successfully destroyed a thousand artillery pieces of the Qin army with the cooperation of a thousand elites. The guards surrendered. He is leading the army into Guanzhong."
Um!
This is similar to what he guessed. In this case, a thousand elites were also freed. I wonder if the 20,000 city defense troops were eliminated.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Liu Ji enters the Pass, and Xiang Yu will also lead his army to enter the Pass. It is time for Hu Hai's Qin to tremble.
Then the next question he should think about is how to arrange Xiang Yu's army and Liu Ji's army. Historically, after the two armies captured Xianyang, because Xiang Yu was strong, he enfeoffed Liu Ji to Bashu and Hanzhong, and also set up a Sanqin blockade. His journey into Guanzhong eventually led to the Chu-Han War.
Both of them were secretly cultivated by him, and they wanted to develop to the point where life and death were incompatible. This was a big loss, but the problem was that it was a headache to tolerate them without letting them fight.
It was impossible for him to let Liu Ji defeat Xiang Yu and achieve the Western Han Dynasty like historical development. After all, Qin Shihuang most likely did not have Bintian. If he did not have Bintian, he would never allow the emergence of the Lord of the World.
This problem is very difficult.
Let them fight each other, disband them, or use them for your own use.
According to Qin Shihuang's temperament, he would never allow the existence of dangerous elements that threatened his rule. If this was taken into consideration, the rebel army could only be disbanded.
Of course, if you are an ambitious person, you have another idea and take this opportunity to change the dynasty.
With this thought, he was shocked. If he had ambitions, this person would be himself. Now the time is very ripe. After Hu Hai is destroyed, he can immediately capture Xianyang with a wave of his arm and become the king. At your fingertips.
"Is this possible?" There is an impulse in the subconscious, which is to achieve great dominance and replace Liu Bang in history as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
This was such a tempting idea that it once made him a little lost.
But at this moment, Xiao Zhuang hurriedly came to report, saying that Zhao Di had sent intelligence that Meng Tian's army had made strange movements and was ready to return to the dynasty, and that there was something unusual in Chu Di.
"Chu land? Zhao land?"
Li Zhao's expression changed.
The land of Chu is close to the land of Yue. Currently, the Qin Dynasty has 500,000 troops stationed in the land of Yue, while the north has 300,000 troops led by Meng Tian to resist the Huns, which is close to the land of Zhao.
There is something unusual happening at such an occasion. What does this mean?
The bold idea just now made him sweat.
There are strange movements between the armies in the two places. What does this mean? It means that they also know the situation in Xianyang and want to return reinforcements. There is a problem. The Xianyang Incident has happened for so long. They have not returned reinforcements for a long time and have not returned reinforcements for a long time. However, they returned reinforcements when they were about to capture Xianyang. What does this mean? ?
This is not the key to the problem. The key is, who can command the armies of the two places to return to reinforcements at once, Hu Hai? Hu Hai was not in the right position, and it was impossible to command them. There was only one person left, and that was Qin Shihuang.
Thinking of this, the cold sweat behind his back became even worse. He seemed to have discovered a shocking overall situation, and the person controlling this overall situation was Qin Shihuang.
Qin Shihuang definitely has no Bintian. It is very likely that he is monitoring all of this. Any change in the armies of the two places means that he wants to close the net.
"What a terrible person."
The 800,000 frontier troops are so terrifying that they cannot be compared to the prisoner army, let alone the likes of Xiang Yu and Liu Ji, even with artillery.
"Xiao Zhuang, immediately ask the intelligence personnel to tell Meng Yi and Wu Quan to quickly lead a thousand artillery troops back to Shanglinyuan, and the thousand elites will also come back."
"At the same time, Xiang Yu and Liu Ji were ordered to disband the rebel army immediately after capturing Hu Hai and hand over the captured artillery to the court."
"What happened?" Xiao Zhuang was confused and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't ask so many questions. Go tell them quickly. The sooner the better."
"Yes, Master!" Xiao Zhuang saw the Master's anxiety and went to do it immediately.
And Li Zhao couldn't be idle, he quickly washed up and hurried to the secret palace.
Qin Shihuang must not be dead. He did a lot of things during this period. He must tell the emperor one by one, otherwise nothing will be clear when the time comes.
Even though Shang Xin had warned him not to come to the secret palace without permission without permission.
Outside the secret palace, Li Zhao hurriedly arrived, only to find that the door was open. Within a few breaths, a guard came over. The guard seemed to have received the order and led Li Zhao inside without saying a word.
Li Zhao was surprised. He thought he would have to wait here for three days and three nights, but he didn't know it was so easy. It seemed that Qin Shihuang also thought of what he was thinking.
The emperor is so mysterious!
"I have met your Majesty."
After entering the secret palace, Li Zhao saluted immediately when he saw Ying Zheng, but he seemed uneasy.
After a quiet glance, I found that the emperor was smiling and looking energetic, not at all as old and weak as he had been during the grand ceremony.
And he looked much younger. Although he was already in his early fifties, he looked as young as his thirties, younger than he looked in the court.
The contrast between before and after is so great that it is doubtful.
Li Zhao quickly lowered his head, not wanting the emperor to see his panic.
"Li Zhao, raise your head and take a good look at me to see if I am dead or younger than before."
Ying Zheng did not ask about outside matters.
"Of course, how could you not guess that I am not Bintian if you are as smart as you? Do you think so?"
"Yes, yes!" Li Zhao nodded quickly.
"Do you think I'm young?"
There was no question about what happened during this period, and Li Zhao only showed off his youth. Li Zhao had no idea what the emperor was going to say.
"Young." He could only nod in agreement.
"Haha! This is all thanks to your medical clinic. They designed a new maintenance plan for me, which made my old body full of vitality. I feel that I have regained the momentum I had when I unified the six countries."
"Maintenance plan?"
Li Zhao muttered that he was too busy during this period and had no time to pay attention to the affairs of the medical clinic. When did he come up with such a plan? This group of people is so rebellious that they don’t even tell themselves about such good things.
Ying Zheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said quickly: "This is no wonder the medical clinic, I asked them to keep it a secret."
Then the emperor's tone changed and became appreciative, "Thank you! It seems that you still care about me. Yang Qing is a good person. I am going to make him my doctor and stay with me day and night."
Um!
Li Zhao was stunned, and his inner voice couldn't help but come out.
[Why did the conversation turn to Yang Qing? What did Yang Qing do for His Majesty? Could it be that a gratifying health regimen has been developed? If this is really the case, then I will find out. There are all kinds of strange ways to maintain health, but it is an existence that makes people crazy. I have seen people in their 60s still look like they are 30 years old before. If I get such a formula, I don’t know how many people have passed their 60th year. The nobles are crazy about it, and I, Chang'an Township, can make a lot of money. 】
Ying Zheng smiled when he heard Li Zhao's thoughts, and almost said, Yang Qing did something for me, making my body younger and younger, hum! You kid still wants to fool those noble people with such a way to maintain your health. No way, everything belongs to me and has nothing to do with you.
[What a pity, what a great way to make money! But it was occupied by Qin Shihuang. This guy is hateful. 】
What?
Ying Zheng's face became serious after hearing this, and his good mood was shattered by the person in front of him. He actually said that he was hateful, but he seemed to be very hateful. He had been forced to do so many things during this period, and it was considered that the big worry in his heart was completely eliminated. Of course, It was also because of Li Zhao's sharing that he was able to rest during this period and became much younger.
However, when he thought that Li Zhao's expectations for him ended up in vain, he felt dissatisfied, and Yang Qing tried to make up for his trauma.
"Li Zhao, Li Zhao, did you hear what I said? From today on, Yang Qing will be my doctor. Do you object?"
Ying Zheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Li Zhao smiled bitterly.
Just kidding, if he dared to object, it would be a life-threatening situation, so he had to hand over his hand and say, "I have no objection. If Your Majesty likes it, the entire medical clinic can be moved to Xianyang City."
"This is okay too."
Li Zhao's eyes widened and he thought to himself: This Qin Shihuang is really greedy. I am just saying polite words, do you take it seriously? The medical clinic is one of the ways that Shanglinyuan makes money, how can it be given to others so easily? Of course, if Qin Shihuang could afford the price, it would be easy to negotiate.
What a profiteer.
When Ying Zheng heard this, his face suddenly turned green, and he secretly thought that this boy had fallen in the eyes of money. He talked about money in everything, and it was in vain that he regarded him as his son at that time.
son?
After a long delay, the account still needs to be settled.
"What? Have you regretted it? You still want to deceive the emperor, but you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is a serious crime." Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao with a heart-stopping look.
Li Zhao quickly said: "I don't regret it. When the incident in Xianyang is over, I will move the medical center to Xianyang City immediately." Although he said this, his heart was bleeding. The medical center and the huge profits were robbed by this guy.
Even if it is not difficult to open a medical clinic, if there is a medical clinic in Xianyang City, how many dignitaries will come here for treatment? Without the generous profits from noble people, the medical clinic would be busy in vain.
In fact, the purpose of the medical clinic at this moment is to make money from the nobles. As for the common people, let alone whether they can enter Shanglin Garden, even if they can enter, they cannot afford the money.
He plans to open a civilian medical clinic after the incident calms down. Yes, it will be opened near Afang Palace, as well as a school, a big market, etc.
hey-hey! The thought from before came to mind again.
After this period of time, the opportunity to make big money will come again.
