In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 695 Hangu Pass

Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The small main hall is now full of people.

All the affairs of the empire are under the jurisdiction of the prime minister's office.

In addition to Zhao Shuang's own ministers and subordinates, as well as all the civil servants and generals in the empire, they also participated in this meeting in this mansion.

Li Yuanlai, the guard of Sanchuan, reported that Zhang Chu's rebels suddenly began to gather in large numbers. It seemed that the target was Xingyang.

A big battle is about to break out, and the prime minister's office is urgently needed to make a decision. How to dispatch troops and distribute food and grass?
Zhao Shuang came slowly, and everyone who had been waiting in the hall bowed their hands and saluted.

"Meet the prime minister!"

"Don't be too polite."

Hundreds of thousands of troops headed towards Xingyang, intending to get involved in Guanzhong.Everyone thought that Zhao Shuang was still in a hurry, but now all he could see was a smile on his face.

Hearing that Zhang Chu's rebels were coming towards Xingyang, Zhao Shuang seemed very happy?

For a while, both Zhao Shuang's deployment and the generals of the empire were very confused.Only Zhang Liang and a few people understood what Zhao Shuang was thinking at the moment, but they all kept their mouths shut and didn't say much.

Most of the Qin officials in the mansion are brave generals in the army, just like Yang Xiong, Su Jiao, Feng Jing and other generals, they are all generals from aristocratic families.Of course, they were not the first-class generals in the original Qin army.

In fact, even generals such as Zhang Han, Wang Li, Meng Yi, and Li You, who are now commanding heavy troops abroad, are considered juniors among the Qin army.

When facing Zhao Shuang on weekdays, because of their prestige and qualifications, these generals have instinctive respect in their hearts.

Just now, it's weird.

Yang Xiong came out, first bowed his hands and saluted, and then asked.

"In the past when Zhang Chu's rebels attacked the city, Chen Shengna, the rebel, proclaimed himself king, distributed officials, and was busy pacifying the local Guizhou head. When there was no rebellion, the prime minister never laughed. Why is the prime minister laughing now that hundreds of thousands of rebels are attacking?"

After all, it is not that everyone present does not understand the dilemma they are facing at this time.

The Northern River Army is still guarding the northern border, and Guanzhong has imported a large amount of food and grass to Jiuyuan, which restricts the number of troops that can be used today.

The Habayashi Army has just expanded its army, and the troops that can be used in Guanzhong are only [-] heavy armors, [-] tigers, and the lieutenant army originally trained by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

The army trained by Zhao Gao is enough to maintain law and order, but it is not enough to fight wars. It must be reorganized and trained, and it will not be useful for the time being.

Both the Heavy Armored Army and the Huben Army were elite, but the gap between them and Zhang Chu's Army was too large.

Li You's Sanchuan army was not enough to defend the city. If no reinforcements were provided, even if the rebels could not take big cities like Xingyang and Luoyang, they would definitely go deep into Sanchuan County and attack Hangu.

Zhao Shuang looked at the crowd, waved his robe, and smiled brighter.

"If that generation can secure the country, caress the head of Guizhou, and calm people's hearts, it will be a long-term strategy. I am worried about it. Today, Chen Sheng has only been king for a few months, but he intends to send troops to the west. What he wants is nothing more than food, grass, money and silk women. No worries."

With Zhao Shuang's words, all the frowning people in the mansion were relieved.But the problem is, even if this is the case, the problem is still there. There is still a problem with the imperial army's reinforcements.

The quantity is not enough and the quality is mixed.

The army within the empire is now going through a period of adjustment.It will take time to rectify.

"Yang Xiong!"

"The end is here!"

"You lead [-] heavy armors to garrison Hangu. Remember, you only defend and don't attack."

"The last will obey!"

"Among Zhang Chu's rebels, most of them are grassroots bandits, each with different intentions. Guanzhong is a place where the rebels can't attack for a long time. I don't think it will take three months for the rebels to defeat themselves."

Zhao Shuang did not order reinforcements for Sanchuan, but instead sent troops to Hangu.From the looks of it, he was only going to be on the defensive.Although this was a proper arrangement, after all, everyone was skeptical of Zhao Shuang's words that the rebels would defeat themselves.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhao Shuang stood in the courtyard, dressed in unlined clothing, but did not return immediately.

In the darkness, a slim figure slowly walked out.

Zhao Shuang looked at the figure approaching him and smiled slightly.

"How is it?"

"I've already given him the Tiger Talisman. It won't be long before his army reaches Sanchuan."

Mrs. Mingzhu walked out of the darkness, and the years did not leave many traces on her body, just as she was back then.She walked to Zhao Shuang's side and bent down.

Zhao Shuang's hand touched her fair and alluring face.

"This apprentice of yours has created a big problem for me. What do you think she meant by what she said in front of Chen Sheng?"

"Although Tian Yan is my apprentice, she was taught by the Lord. After all, she saw that Zhang Chu's rebel army was not deep-rooted. If they were defeated, birds and beasts would inevitably scatter. Taking advantage of the situation and stabbing the master with a knife, it's hard to say!"

Zhao Shuang's caress made Mrs. Mingzhu happy, and there was a trace of obsession on her face, but after all, Mrs. Mingzhu was not an ordinary person, she was determined.

"Maybe it's both. The Lord should be careful, maybe this girl has other tricks."

"Any other tricks?"

Mrs. Mingzhu bit her lightly, making Zhao Shuang turn around from his contemplation.

The moonlight shone lightly, and the courtyard was quiet, shining on a couple of men and women, and the sound of insects rang out.

……

"Uncle Zhu, are you planning to leave?"

Tian Yan looked at Zhu's family with a strange expression.

Chendi is prosperous, but the Zhu family has no intention of nostalgia.

He sighed, somewhat disheartened.

"Now some people and some things are changing too fast. Rather than enjoying the glory and wealth here, it is better to wander the rivers and lakes and enjoy the mountains and forests."

"Uncle Zhu is unhappy because Uncle Chen Sheng killed his old friend?"

Tian Yan asked tentatively, but the Zhu family's heart was colder than that.

"Originally, our brothers all wanted to resist the tyranny of the empire and restore peace to the world. But now, they have seized a large area of ​​land, but they have long forgotten their original intention. It's too much. Although the Qin law is harsh, all the Qin officials still abide by the law, but they act recklessly."

"Then where is Uncle Zhu's going?"

"It's helpless to say that some of the good friends I met in Jianghu are now under Zhao Shuang's command. If I want to talk to them, I can't do it. I want to leave, but there is no good place to go."

"Uncle Zhu is the head of the Shennong Hall, and there are tens of thousands of brothers under his command. Uncle Chen Sheng will definitely not want to leave like this. Why don't you ask for orders to go to Kunyang to garrison on the grounds of defending against the Qin army in Nanyang."

"Kunyang?"

The Zhu family murmured, looking at Tian Yan's face, the other party seemed to have deep meaning.

"Ayan, are you..."

Before the Zhu family finished speaking, Tian Yan interrupted him.

"Now all the brothers want to break into Guanzhong and get the treasures there. Uncle Zhu is a man of integrity and is willing to take the initiative to station in Kunyang. Uncle Chen Sheng will definitely agree."

The Zhu family looked at Tian Yan for a long time, and finally agreed.

"Subordinates respectfully obey Xia Kui's order."
