Chapter 5: Entering Xianyang, Killing Hu Hai
Prince Fusu was known for his benevolence and possessed remarkable political foresight. In the past, he opposed the execution of over 460 individuals who had violated the law, which angered the late emperor. As a result, he was exiled to the Great Wall to assist Meng Tian in its construction, aimed at defending against the Xiongnu.
In fact, Qin Shi Huang never executed a single meritorious official, especially the generals who fought alongside him to conquer the world and destroy the six states.
My lord, it is General Zhang Han who has deceived us into opening the city gates. He has surrendered, my lord, please flee quickly
In an instant, the sky was overcast with dark clouds, accompanied by flashes of lightning and the roar of thunder
Ying Chu is indeed very fatigued, but he knows that he cannot stop now. He must swiftly capture Xianyang using a blitzkrieg approach
Then we cannot just sit idly by, my lord, we should seek refuge with the Xiongnu
Young Master, the Li family did not escape.
Although Zhao Gao has fled, Hu Hai remains
Eighteenth Brother, I am truly sorry. Today, you are undoubtedly going to die. Please tell me if you have any last wishes, and I will do my best to fulfill them.
Fu Su is indeed more capable. If Fu Su were truly dead, relying solely on himself, it is likely that Zhang Han would have already met his demise by now, as he would never surrender under any circumstances
In the Afang Palace, Ying Chu and Zhao Yun appeared before Hu Hai.
Since you have no last wishes, then set off on your journey
"You may as well kill me." Zhang Han closed his eyes
He has absolute confidence that Meng Tian will not rebel when he is granted military authority
Ying Chu is not worried at all; even if Wang Jian really comes, so what?
Zhao Yun, set a fire and burn this down
At your command
At the time of the destruction of the six states, Zhang Han was also involved
If Zhang Han were to lead the way and deceitfully open the city gates of Xianyang, then it would be effortless to enter Xianyang
Therefore, Ying Zhu must kill Hu Hai
Indeed, he can seek refuge with the Xiongnu
"Sir, it is not good... the army of Fusu has invaded Xianyang and is now approaching the Epang Palace."
Ying Chu felt fortunate about the decision he made; Fusu ascending the throne was the best choice.
Zhang Han, standing outside Li Si's residence, clasped his hands and spoke
If even Meng Tian has rebelled, why should he persist in his efforts?
Hu Hai was the eighteenth son of Ying Zheng and also his youngest son
Zhao Gao's escape is an excellent outcome, which can be attributed to him, as he is the one who killed Hu Hai
Zhao Gao was already in a state of panic, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
The leakage of fighting spirit is something that only super generals possessing the golden general skills can experience
Where are you running to
I ... ...
Hu Hai died, he died in the Afang Palace
Zhao Gao climbed up from the ground and asked in a stern voice: "How did they manage to attack? Where is Zhang Han? Why couldn't he hold the line?"
General Zhang, can you lead us to capture Xianyang
Zhang Han fell silent; he knew, he knew everything
"My lord, we have been marching day and night. Should we take a three-day rest?" Zhao Yun inquired
Ying Zhu looked expressionlessly at Hu Hai beneath the table. He was innocent, yet he must die. In this world, there can only be one emperor, and that is Fusu. If he does not die, Fusu's position will forever bear a stain.
Zhao Gaoshou hurriedly escaped from the palace, while at that moment, Ying Chu had already stormed into the Epang Palace
Brother Nine, do not kill me, do not kill me
Your words have enlightened me profoundly, and I realize how foolish I have been
Hurry! Pack up the valuables
Upon hearing the phrase "mhetushucom.com" from his subordinate, Zhao Gao finally realized.
My lord, the commander in charge of defending Xianyang was once my subordinate, so there should be no major issues
This surprised Ying Chu somewhat; it was not so much that Li Si did not escape, but rather that he did not even take his family with him.
Join us, for my elder brother is the true ruler of the world. Hu Hai only knows how to indulge in pleasures; can he uphold the foundation of the Great Qin?
The aim was to make Qin Shi Huang believe that he had no ambitions and only wished to live a life free from worries about food and clothing
"Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu, please spare my life. Big Brother will surely spare me as well; he will not kill me," Hu Hai said, trembling as if he had grasped a lifeline.
At this point, Qin Ershi Hu Hai died in the Epang Palace
At your command
"Good! Zhao Yun, issue the order that there shall be no rest, and we shall set off immediately!" commanded Ying Zhu.
It is precisely because the elder brother will not kill you that I must clear the obstacles for him
Ying Chu's expression darkened as he said to General Zhang Han: "General Zhang, seal off all the city gates and send troops to surround Li Si's residence. Zhao Yun, come with me"
General Zhang, I will not kill you; you are a crucial general of my Great Qin
The sky flashed with a bolt of lightning, followed by a chilling scream, and the window was stained red with a pool of blood
This illustrates the gap between levels; Zhao Yun hardly made a move, as he was already severely injured
Your Excellency, Zhao Gao has escaped
Zhang Han was injured by the golden fighting spirit and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood
Ying Chu's final words struck at Zhang Han's heart; this great Qin was built by people like them
Hu Hai curled up under the table, looking at Ying Chu with fear
Rest assured, I believe Wang Jian will make the right choice
Fusu is the one whom everyone expects; as long as Zhao Gao and Li Si are killed, everyone will acknowledge Fusu as their leader
Like Meng Tian, he was also deeply favored by Qin Shi Huang. The emperor ordered him to send troops to guard southern China, similarly to defend against foreign tribes
However, Wang Jian is a shrewd individual; he is not as blindly loyal and straightforward as Meng Tian
To destroy the evidence, Ying Chu must create the illusion that Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao
In those years, Wang Jian achieved remarkable military accomplishments. He was deeply concerned that Qin Shi Huang would eliminate all potential threats, much like a hunter who hides his bow after the birds have flown. Therefore, he persistently sought rewards from Qin Shi Huang, primarily requesting land, grain, and money.
Goodness, Ying Chu couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, goodness
Wang Jian
"Young Master, Zhao Gao has already instructed His Majesty... to send Young Master Hu and Tushuhai to mobilize General Wang Jian's army," Zhang Han reported truthfully
Seeing the cold cheeks of Ying Chu, Zhao Yun seemed to recall something
Snap
Xianyang, Epang Palace
Young master, you have finally arrived
His ability to have Meng Tian lead an army of 600,000 to guard the Great Wall reveals the magnitude of his vision
If he really comes back, then I fear...
Ke Yingcuo dismounted, stepped forward, and helped Zhang Han up
"This time, I only wish to eliminate Li Si and Zhao Gao, allowing my elder brother to ascend the throne! Do you not wish for my elder brother to take the throne?" Ying Chu asked earnestly.
Nine... Nine Brother
Although Hu Hai ascended to the throne with the support of Zhao Gao and Li Si, he is nonetheless an emperor, and he inherited the position by right of succession
Ying Chu stepped into Li Si's residence and saw Li Si kneeling in the hall, eyes closed in meditation, seemingly waiting for Ying Chu's arrival
The raindrops, as large as beans, fell from the sky, striking the windows with a sharp sound. Another thunderclap echoed, deafening. In an instant, the raindrops merged into lines, and with a whoosh, the heavy rain poured down from the sky as if the heavens had collapsed, enveloping everything in its path.
A subordinate on a snow dragon steed came to report that in the Epang Palace, the figure of Zhao Gao had long since vanished
