The villain system of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 378 Ambush from all sides

Chen Di.

In the dark night, surrounded by mountains and forests, there was a whisper.

"Xiao Long, is Long Xiu's place ready?"

Xiang Shaoyu asked as he stood next to the big tree, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance.

"Since Fusu disappeared, Zhao Gao supported Hu Hai to ascend the throne. However, the eighteenth prince of the Qin Dynasty was not popular among the people. In addition, his administration was harsh and brutal. At this moment, outside Chen Di, a group of princes who were close to him had already There is a disharmony between face and heart. As long as we attack Chencheng tonight and raise the banner of anti-Qin, the princes of Guandong will definitely respond. Brother, everything is ready!"

Long Qie crawled beside Xiang Shaoyu and said.

The situation at this moment is very delicate. After the defeat of Xingyang City, the rebels from various princes were entrenched in various places and were not subordinate to each other. Although they respected the imperial court of Chendi on the surface, in fact, the princes did not obey the control and even refused to listen. Even listening to the announcement can't do it.

Hu Hai was not Fusu. He did not have such skillful ruling skills and did not have such great prestige. Coupled with his harsh administration, even the old Fusu officials and tens of thousands of defenders in Chendi showed signs of alienation.

In order to deal with the Xiongnu and Yuezhi, the Qin court in Guanzhong used a large number of troops and resources on the Great Wall border and the Western Regions, and the pace of invading Guandong slowed down.

"Although the situation is dangerous, we have no retreat!" Xiang Shaoyu said.

The elite of the Chu army was exhausted, and Xiang Shaoyu only had 8,000 Jiangdong men. With these 8,000 men, he would capture the Chen region and destroy the Chen region's court. Only then could he raise a banner and call on all the princes to gather under his command to fight against Qin. .

Otherwise, no matter how brave Xiang Shaoyu is, no matter how good the soldiers under his command are, they are destined to not be Ying Ziyi's opponent.

No matter which way you go from Chendi to Guanzhong, either through Nanyang or Xingyang, you have to face hundreds of cities. The Qin army has countless guards and soldiers, and passes through dangerous passes. With only his 8,000 people, it is impossible to defeat them anyway. Unbreakable.

Therefore, Xiang Shaoyu needed righteousness, or an excuse, an excuse to order the princes of Guandong to go westward.

Destroy Qin!

"The farmers are here to help, and Ji Buyingbu's soldiers and horses are also ready and can support us at any time!" Long Qie said.

"Okay! We can only wait for the signal from the city!" Xiang Shaoyu murmured.

….

Chen Di, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao Gao was sitting in his mansion, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand. However, he could not read the contents of this bamboo slip.

After many years, he was already an old man with gray hair on his temples. However, despite his age, Zhao Gao's ambition has never been extinguished, and his obsession with power has never been let go.

Only this time, he felt helpless. Although the Qin army's offensive has slowed down, the odds of victory and defeat are very obvious. The Qin army's offensive has changed from engulfing to cannibalizing. One city was surrendered today, and another city will be surrendered tomorrow. If things go on like this, not to mention the defenders of Chen, even the princes with deep hatred against Qin will be shaken. .

Zhao Gao is a villain, but being a villain does not mean he has no talent. Otherwise, he would not have been reused by Emperor Qin for so many years.

At this moment, Zhao Gao felt a sense of exhaustion rising from the bottom of his heart. Every day, he had to work hard to appease Hu Hai in court, and down in court, he also had to arrange military defense and win over various princes to prevent them from moving closer to Ying Ziyi.

However, although Zhao Gao tried his best, there were still a large number of refugees running towards Emperor Ying Ziyi's territory every day. Some border cities were even deserted, and even the officials in the government offices had fled.

There was a sound outside the house, and Zhao Gao woke up from his meditation and asked, "Is it Long Xiu?"

In the corridor outside the house, a long sword pierced Long Xiu's body. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. Soon, he lost his voice.

The door of the house was slowly opened, and a short figure walked in from the corridor.

The first moment he saw this figure, Zhao Gao's small eyes narrowed tightly.

"Who are you?"

"The dragnet is all-pervasive. Master Zhao Gao should be familiar with this name!" The person who walked into the room was a short man who was one of the top masters under Ying Ziyi, Monkey.

"You are Ying Ziyi's man!" Zhao Gao suddenly became alert, stood up suddenly, and said in shock.

"Master Zhao Gao, don't worry, we have taken care of all the guards in the house." As the monkey finished speaking, dozens of powerful auras appeared outside the house.

"How did you do it?" Zhao Gao felt like he was surrounded by a group of ferocious beasts at this moment.

"Haha! Master Zhao Gao, don't you understand up to this point?" The monkey patrolled around Zhao Gao, seemingly not in a hurry. "From the beginning, you had no chance of winning. Even though the wedding banquet made it easier for Fusu to gather power, from another perspective, it also made it easier for our entourage to infiltrate the old clan forces in the six countries! This city is already riddled with holes. Of course, the help of Master Zhao Gao and Hu Hai’s son are indispensable!"

To a certain extent, the human nature of Guandong, the disappointment of officials at all levels towards the violent conquests of various princes, and the Chendi court were the reasons why the large-scale penetration of the net was successful.

The people in Guandong hope to return to the feudal system because of the propaganda of a large amount of old Confucianism and the advocacy of nobles from the Six Kingdoms.

However, the truth is cruel. When the people of Guandong really returned to the feudal system they hoped for, the life they hoped for did not come. On the contrary, the successive military failures of various princes led to a skyrocketing military expenditure. In order to maintain their own survival, the princes from all walks of life began to impose excessive levies and engage in military force.

It is not that the princes have never thought of plundering to reduce their burden. However, that huge empire and the long Yellow River were an iron curtain that blocked the armies of various princes.

The princes are fighting in a melee, and the public order in this huge Central Plains is rapidly deteriorating. There are bones on the road, and the people are naked.

On the other hand, under the Qin Dynasty, through large-scale farming, the empire began to stabilize economically and achieved successive military victories. Although the people under the rule are still not wealthy, they are able to have two meals of food and clothing. Compared with the people in Guandong, they are much better off both spiritually and materially.

Comparing the two situations, the people of Guandong fled towards the counties under the empire one after another. Officials from all over Guandong also saw the benefits of the Qin Dynasty's county system.

In a word, the hearts of the people in the world belong to Qin!

Zhao Gao looked at the monkey and asked warily: "If that's the case, why do you still wait until now?"

"Chen Di is a bait, you can catch those big fish!" After the monkey said, a faint firelight shot up in the sky, and under the silent night sky, with this firelight, there was an instant noise.

"Who is it?" Zhao Gao asked.

"Who else?" The monkey smiled and said: "Apart from the Marquis of Dong Chu, who else has such courage at this moment to run hundreds of miles to capture this city? However, before he captures this city, We still have some things to do in front of the city!"

Murderous aura filled his face. This was a danger that Zhao Gao had never felt before.

……..

The noisy troops surged from outside the city and quickly penetrated into the city. In just two hours of fierce fighting, Xiang Shaoyu took control of the city wall, the palace, and most importantly, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Xiang Shaoyu heavily besieged the place where Chen Diyi issued the decree in response to the decree, all he got was an eye-opening scene.

In this Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the corpses scattered all over the place, there are no living people left.

"Brother, brother!"

On the corridor, the heartrending sound of the dragon surrounded Xiang Shaoyu's ears, but there was not much sadness in his heart.

Because, when the door of the house was open, the scene inside left him no time to feel sad. There were only doubts, deep doubts!

Who can kill a master like Zhao Gao? Moreover, looking at the scene in the room, Zhao Gao had almost no power to fight back.

"Master Hou!"

A school captain came from the side and said with a hand. ?"How's it going, Midnight?"

"Neither Ji Bu nor Ying Bu's troops arrived on time, and Hu Hai in the palace had already been assassinated. At this moment, there are rumors circulating in the city that the marquis has committed regicide."

Xiang Shaoyu is a smart man and naturally understands that the matter is out of control at this point. Xiang Shaoyu paced in this house full of blood, and with every step he took, his body seemed to get tighter. There is an invisible hand in the darkness, manipulating everything.

Long Qie placed the body of his brother Long Xiu, walked to Xiang Shaoyu, and asked: "Shaoyu, the situation is not right, how about we withdraw?"

"Master Marquis, it's not good. There is a large-scale army outside the city. Their offensive is so fast that they have broken through our outposts on the outside."

When the night faded and the morning light shone across the earth, Xiang Shaoyu came to the city wall and saw a large army arrayed outside the city. The Qin general at the head was surprisingly Han Xin, whom he had fought with in Nanyang!

Han Xin was riding on his horse, looking at Xiang Shaoyu on top of the city, waving his long sword, and said: "You rebels, surrender sooner!"

Sure enough, it's you, Ying Ziyi!

Xiang Shaoyu stood on top of the city and held his hands tightly.
