Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 255
Xu Li arrived at Xianyang City, the imperial capital, with a leading force. The suspension bridges on the four gates of Xianyang City had already rumbled up. Outside the city, there was only a bright moon hanging upside down in the sky, which bloomed brilliantly in conjunction with the sky.

Logically speaking, after the main force of the Xiongnu was wiped out, Xianyang City was already alive and well. Why didn't we see the heroic scene of thousands of people emptying the alleys, and why didn't we see the cheers of the people with lanterns and festoons?
Xu Li couldn't help frowning, his face burst into anger, and he said coldly, "Why is Xianyang City so dead today?"

On the gate tower, several soldiers noticed the army with the banner of the Huns from a distance, thought it was the enemy's invasion, and displayed their shields and crossbows one after another, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

But Xuli sensed an indelible hostility early on, and ordered the scouts to report: "Soldiers in the city, we are the subordinates of General Meng Tian, ​​and we have come to Xianyang, the imperial capital, as the vanguard!"

The soldiers in the city breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but their faces were still tense. Nei Shifeng had warned in advance that he wanted the troops of the enemy Xiongnu Youxian King, and the soldiers sternly reprimanded: "There is an emergency in the city, sir, please set up camp outside the city now." , after opening the city tomorrow, enter the city to accept the reward!"

The scout also wanted to find out what happened in Xianyang City, but the soldier said coldly and perfunctorily, "No comment." At this time, the Huns soldier became confused and left the city in despair.

After telling Zuo Xian Wang that he must leave, Zuo Xian Wang stroked his beard, showed a meaningful smile, and said lightly: "We still need to find out more information!"

But how could it be so easy to mix in Xianyang, the imperial capital?
Zuo Xianwang frowned, and when he saw the large army coming after him, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he whispered a few words to the ten soldiers. The ten soldiers nodded slightly, and patted their chests to ensure that they would be able to complete the task.

Xu Li then led a hundred personal guards to meet Meng Tian. Seeing that his back was sinking like water, Meng Tian said slowly, "Why? Didn't the defenders on the city let you in?"

Xu Li nodded, but while nodding, his eyes were extremely sharp.

Why are you pretending to be confused here?

Whether you can go in or not is not up to you?
Isn't it superfluous for you to ask like this?

But the words were on the lips, but Xu Li didn't say it for a long time. After all, he was only a general, and he was a surrender general. He didn't have any authority at all. How dare he be an enemy of Meng Tian?

Meng Tian saw that he nodded heavily, with a faint smile on his face, he waved his hands and said: "In that case, the general will set up camp in the city first!"

Xu Li had no choice but to nod, but he nodded in satisfaction to the soldiers who were lurking behind Meng Tian.

Meng Tian selected ten soldiers and went to the camp of the Chinese army.

Inside the Chinese army camp.

Meng Tian sat in front of the big bronze case, his face as sinking as water. He did not see the joy of victory at all, but he was more sad, which was all shown in the eyes of the ten soldiers.

Seeing Meng Tian's sad face, a soldier asked, "Why is the general so depressed?"

Meng Tian's face turned cold, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said solemnly: "I am depressed, can I be happy? You guys will follow me into the city today, and in front of you is Feng Jie, the Prime Minister on the right!"

The ten soldiers looked at each other with serious expressions on their faces.

Isn't the city gate closed?

The door can only be opened tomorrow, is there still a trail?

Of course not, it's just that Prime Minister You took the initiative to come to see him!

The night was hazy, the sky was quickly covered with a layer of sandpaper, the earth was pitch black, the soldiers had already been immersed in their dreams, only Meng Tian and the ten soldiers were still alive.

Meng Tian looked at the night sky outside the camp, and said calmly: "The time is up, you follow me!"

It turned out that Meng Tian had already made an appointment with Feng Jie to meet at a small camp outside the Lantian camp.

Because all the soldiers have all gone to the expedition, and the soldiers have not received a military order to be stationed in the Lantian Camp. The Lantian Camp has long been empty.

The night is dark and windy, it's time to do business!

Meng Tian stepped into the camp, Feng Jie turned his back to the crowd, Feng Jie cast his eyes, the ten soldiers were dejected, and quietly left the room, there was no one in the room, it was bitingly cold.

Feng Jie said slowly: "General, the incident happened suddenly, and you were summoned to discuss something urgent!"

Meng Tian's complexion gradually became serious.

He had already learned that something big had happened in Xianyang City, but he still didn't know what the specific situation was.

Feng Jie did not tell him the truth, but told him that this was a plan to eliminate Xu Li.

Feng Jie said indifferently: "Those who are not from our clan must have a different heart. As a member of the Xiongnu, Xuli will not give his allegiance to His Majesty, but if we want to get rid of him blatantly, I am afraid that His Majesty will be wronged!"

"Thus, Your Majesty feigned death, lured Xuli to rebel, and forced Xuli to march into the imperial capital Xianyang!"

"Even if he can't leave, we can still put a hat on him to force him to rebel. When the Qin army encircles him, we can eliminate the disaster forever!"

This was Feng Jie's plan, and his Li Si had discussed it, but he didn't inform Qin Wangzheng that night, because he was too vicious and wanted to bet on Qin Wangzheng. He dared not participate in such a gamble, otherwise he would only be crushed to pieces.

It just so happened that Qin Wangzheng was in a coma, so he took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Xu Li, cut off future troubles forever, and let the seeds of the Huns be strangled in the cradle.

Meng Tian smiled slightly, he has long disliked Xu Li, not to mention that Xu Li is useless now, why not get rid of him.

The two hit it off immediately, and then discussed specific plans, taking the opportunity to overthrow Xu Li in one fell swoop.

But Feng Jie didn't tell Qin Wangzheng that he was seriously ill, and didn't add any burden to Meng Tian. Meng Tian resolutely agreed, and the two of them discussed their shares for half an hour before leaving the barracks.

After leaving the room, Meng Tian inadvertently mentioned that His Majesty is critically ill and cannot afford to fall ill on the bed, and ordered them not to mention this matter to anyone.

The ten soldiers nodded heavily, but there were still two people who were happy in their hearts.

This is a good time, Qin State is now on the cusp of the crisis, once Qin Wangzheng dies, it will be a fraternal court infighting!
Moreover, Qin Wangzheng has more than 20 princes, and he will definitely fight for the throne!
The Great Qin Emperor is critically ill, and the imperial capital Xianyang will definitely bring about a bloodbath. This is a big gamble!
So, the two spies who were stationed in the barracks returned to the barracks and informed King Zuo Xian the news.

King Zuo Xian was greatly shocked when he heard the news, a faint smile appeared on his face, Qin Wangzheng was already critically ill, it seemed that this huge city of Xianyang was about to set off another bloodbath.

Little do they know that a terrifying conspiracy is quietly unfolding!

Feng Jie and Meng Tian had a strange smile on their faces, and they said indifferently: "Now Zuo Xianwang is hard to fly with his wings!"
