Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

"Xiaochuan's plan is indeed ingenious, but the variables are hard to predict. You must know that the defenders in Xianyang City are now under the command of Wang Ben, and Meng Yi is leading his troops to attack the southern border. If he suddenly returns to the city and is accidentally discovered, he will definitely be brought to Fusu in the first place. By then, the consequences will be disastrous!"

“To take a step back, even if we are not discovered, it will be very difficult to accomplish these two tasks at the same time. Once Xiaochuan discovers something unexpected, he will surely die. So I discussed with Xiaochuan and decided to change the way. Let Xiaochuan lead his troops into the city, pretending to be a defeated imperial army, rush to Xianyang City first, and break out from the direction of our army. As long as the chaos caused is big enough, the defenders on the city wall will definitely not suspect anything. As long as the city gate is opened, Xiaochuan will lead his troops to kill people directly in the city, and then our army will follow closely, and Xianyang will surely be broken by then.”

At this moment, Fan Zeng had planned everything perfectly. Everything was ready except for the right time. All Xiang Yu had to do was wait for the right time to take action. When Xiang Yu learned of Fan Zeng's elaborate plan, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He looked at Fan Zeng expectantly and asked, "Father, then we..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted decisively by Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng looked determined and said without hesitation: "Tomorrow is the time to act. Don't delay, otherwise there may be changes!" After that, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he had seen victory in sight.

At the same time, Fusu, who was far away in the Xianyang Palace, was extremely anxious at the moment, fidgeting like an ant on a hot pot. In the court, all the ministers also had solemn faces, as if they had lost their parents, and the whole palace was filled with a suffocating and dull atmosphere. Now, the enemy army has already arrived at the city, and the arduous battle to defend the city for more than ten days has made everyone exhausted. Even the guards of the Xianyang Palace have been dispatched to the front line to participate in the defense, but even so, the city is still in danger.

At this critical moment of life and death, Fusu finally realized how foolish his naive thoughts and actions were. At first, he wanted to govern the princes by enfeoffment, promote Confucianism, and restore the original territories of various countries in order to achieve world peace. However, reality ruthlessly gave him a loud slap in the face, making him clearly realize that this idea was nothing more than a wishful dream.

At the same time, Fusu finally realized the real reason why Qin Shihuang Yingzheng sent him to the north. All along, the knowledge and ideas he had upheld seemed so pale and useless in the cruel and ruthless competition for interests. The so-called kindness was even more vulnerable in the face of the huge interests of fighting for the world.

Once, Fusu naively thought that Meng Yi was the one who understood him best, so he accepted all the suggestions made by Meng Yi without hesitation. However, now it is too late to regret everything, even if he regrets it very much.

It was during this difficult time that Fusu began to delve into the complicated relationship between Meng Yi and Gao Yao and the various issues they were involved in. At this moment, he had no soldiers to use and lacked sufficient food and supplies. Looking back on the past, many ministers advised him earnestly, but Fusu was blinded by lard at that time and turned a deaf ear to these honest advice. Even a respected minister like Wang Ben had urged Fusu to stop, but Fusu was still stubborn and chose to firmly support the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

Now, all the bad consequences have emerged. The once highly respected Fusu, after ascending the throne, issued only two decrees, and personally pushed the powerful Qin Empire into an abyss of no return. At this moment in the court, the ministers looked at Fusu with awe and respect. The reason they still came to court was nothing more than a glimmer of luck, hoping to find a glimmer of hope. Facing this new emperor who had just ascended the throne and caused the country's decline due to his own wrong decisions, how could everyone look at him well?

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang Ben wants to see you!" As the court meeting came to an end, the ministers in the court had a heated discussion, but in the end they were unable to come up with any effective strategy to defeat the enemy. However, just as the court was leaving, Fusu received the news that Wang Ben wanted to see him.

"Quick, summon General Wang Ben to come to the audience immediately!" Fusu said without hesitation.

"Yes!" The attendant received the order and hurried away.

Not long after, Wang Ben, wearing the heavy armor still stained with blood, walked into Fusu's study with a staggering step. His gray beard fluttered slightly in the wind, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and the cruelty of war. Although he was over fifty years old, Wang Ben's eyes were still as firm as before, revealing the courage and determination of a veteran in the battlefield.

"Wang Ben pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Wang Ben knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

"General, please stand up!" Fusu stood up and helped Wang Ben up. He asked with concern, "You are covered in blood. I guess you have been through a fierce battle. Why are you here this time? What kind of trouble have you encountered?"

At this moment, Fusu's face was shrouded in deep worry, his thick eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his eyes revealed endless worry and anxiety. His heart was like being weighed down by a heavy stone. Under the current situation, Wang Ben has undoubtedly become the last rock-solid defense line of the Qin Empire against the crazy invasion of foreign enemies. If he encounters any unexpected event, then the series of serious consequences that may follow are simply too much to think about.

At this moment, Wang Ben put forward his opinion without hesitation: "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, the only feasible way for us now is to abandon this city and evacuate quickly. At present, the number of defenders in Xianyang City is less than 20,000. If we do not take decisive action, we will be in a desperate situation when the enemy completely surrounds us. I am willing to lead the guards to escort Your Majesty all the way north and successfully meet up with the army stationed in the north. Only by doing so can we win the last glimmer of hope for Daqin. The situation is urgent and there is no room for delay or hesitation. If we delay any further, when the enemy completes the encirclement, it will be harder than climbing to the sky to break out of the siege!"

When Fusu heard this, his eyes, which were already wide open, suddenly opened wider, as if they were about to fall out, and his face was full of disbelief. He waved his hands excitedly and retorted loudly: "How can this be possible? Xianyang was built by our ancestors after countless hardships and left to us for eternity! If we give it up so easily, once this city falls into the hands of the enemy, how can I face my ancestors in the underworld!"
