He personally chopped off Yan Le's head, and everyone quickly got into the house on the street, passed through the back door, and quickly disappeared into Luoyang City.

The big city is not good at this. Streets extend in all directions. As long as you observe the route in advance, you can still retreat very calmly.

"What? The county guard is dead?" On top of the city, guard Li Ling, who was still waiting for news, stared blankly at the visitor.

"Dead! Just now, a group of thieves suddenly appeared on the way the county guard was returning home. He shot them with bows and arrows upstairs, and surrounded and attacked downstairs. The county guard was assassinated before the military camp received the news!" A five-hundred-year-old master trembled all over.

Said.

That's Yan Le...

The identity of Sanchuan County Sheriff is not what makes him afraid. What he is really afraid of is Zhao Gao.

Now Zhao Gao is the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, the only prime minister.

Left Prime Minister Feng Quji is gone, and so is Right Prime Minister Li Si. Although the emperor is still the same emperor, the entire power of the government is in the hands of Zhao Gao.

If not, how could he, Yan Le, directly become the governor of Sanchuan County from the position of Xianyang Order?

"How...why are you dead???" Li Ling couldn't react. Wasn't there dozens of guards around Yan Le? Why couldn't he even wait for reinforcements?

"The other party must have come prepared. A group of the county guard's guards had just left. They said they were ordered to go out of the city to find out the movements of Wang Buxu's army. As a result, they assassinated the county guard as soon as they left..."

"Deploy troops, search! Dig three feet into the ground to dig out this traitor!" Li Ling couldn't help but get furious.

What should we do?

How should I explain it to Zhao Gao?

However, Zhao Gaogao didn't need to listen to his explanation at all, he only needed to see the results.

"Commander, I'm afraid it will be useless to go to them now. The governor is dead, the prime minister will definitely be furious, and we may suffer!" Lord Five Hundred said with a worried look on his face.

"If we don't find the real culprit, we will probably die even worse!" Li Ling shouted angrily.

"Don't panic, Lieutenant..."

A figure walked slowly under the city wall and spoke calmly.

"Can you give me some advice, Commander?" Li You frowned slightly, he was not very good at dealing with this guy.

But it’s now, and there’s nothing that can’t be dealt with.

Zhao Gao is now at the height of his power, and no one dares to offend him.

And his son-in-law died here, in Luoyang City. Once Zhao Gao became angry, no matter whether he was a county lieutenant or a county magistrate, everyone had to apologize.

In the words of some people, if the chief officer is dead, how can you subordinates still have the dignity to survive?

According to Qin law, when the chief official dies, his bodyguards must be buried with him. The reason is that the protection is insufficient.

Although subordinate officials do not need to be buried with him unless they are directly related, the career of these people basically ends here.

So, from another level, they are grasshoppers on a rope.

"The Prime Minister loves the County Sheriff very much, and the County Sheriff has always been interested in the Prime Minister's interests since he took office. Now that he is dead in Luoyang, you and I can't escape the involvement." Sun Li, the County Prime Minister, first explained the stakes, and then

Right said:

"How majestic was Zhang Han on the day he sent out his troops? Even the famous Zhou Wen, who had won successive battles and achieved great success, could not last more than a few months in his hands. Now, after only a few months of marching eastward from Luoyang, Wang Buxu defeated only a hundred thousand remnants of his troops.

, what if you can't retreat today and defend Luoyang?"

"Will the Prime Minister not punish you because you have done a good job in defending the city? Even if you don't punish you, what should you do?"

"The war situation has reached this stage. Wang Buxu has the power to compete with the imperial court. Even if he sends troops to surround Luoyang, how long can he defend a lonely city?"

"The imperial court has no extra troops. If we stay here, we have no choice but to save ourselves. Life or death is unknown."

"In this case, why not delay Zhang Han, refuse to leave the city, wait until Wang Buxing's army comes, attack from inside and outside, and turn Yan Le's death from disaster into glory?"

"You..." Li Ling pointed at Sun Li, trembling all over, and said with an angry face.

"The strength of the Qin Dynasty has been exhausted. As officials of Qin, we have dedicated our lives to the Qin Dynasty. Now it is unstoppable. Rebels from all over the country have risen up. To be honest, do the county officials really think that the Qin Dynasty is still capable of suppressing these rebels?" Sun Li said with a look on his face.

He persuaded calmly.

He was not worried at all that Li Ling would draw his sword and confront him, the stakes were already clear.

It was impossible for Zhao Gao to let him go. Those who had higher official positions and wider connections than him were all dead, not to mention that he, Li Ling, was just a county lieutenant.

When Li You died, the two of them should have been with him.

Now that Yan Le is dead again, who will come next?

Zhao Gao's younger brother, does the doctor order Zhao Cheng?

Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that this is impossible. How can Zhao Gao live calmly when an absolute confidant is dead?

"Wang Buxu's army may not be that strong, right?" Li Ling was still a little confused.

Previously, a group of people appeared around Luoyang under the banner of Wang Buxu, but they were quickly defeated by the Luoyang defenders. Later, they would occasionally appear, but as long as Luoyang sent troops, they would flee quickly.

Although Li Ling was afraid of death, he was also very worried.

What if Wang Buxing surrenders and cannot defeat the Qin army?

If this is really the case, it is better not to surrender, to fight to the death and not to retreat, and to place hope on Zhao Gao to fall as soon as possible. Only in this way can he save his life.

"coming!"

Just when Li Ling hesitated and Sun Li didn't know how to continue persuading, someone suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.

Everyone's eyes quickly looked into the distance.

I saw that the army that was marching normally suddenly began to change its formation.

And it is a non-stop transformation. The row in front moves forward at a normal speed, while those in the back trot all the way and quickly arrive at their position.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, five huge battle formations of ten thousand people were completed.

And they still kept moving forward at a fast pace.

"This..." Li Ling's eyes widened.

He could be said to have fought his way up step by step. Although he also relied on the kindness of his ancestors, he also knew very well that the ability that Wang Buxu's army showed just now was something that the current Luoyang garrison did not possess.

The only ones in Great Qin that can demonstrate this ability are the Guanzhong Legion and the Great Wall Legion.

Unfortunately, the Guanzhong Legion was small in number and lacked combat power. The Great Wall Legion was demoralized by Meng Tian's death. Wang Li not only failed to suppress it, but instead made the army resent him deeply.

At this moment, Li Ling no longer doubted the combat effectiveness of Wang Buxu's army.

Whether an army is elite or not can be seen just from its formation.

Zhang Han at the bottom of the city was also anxious, and kept sending people to shout at the defenders on the city wall to open the door.

With Zhang Han and 100,000 people joining him, Luoyang's city defense strength will naturally not be a problem.

But how long can it last?

More importantly, once Zhang Han comes in, the initiative is no longer in his hands. Whatever he wants to do, he must first obtain Zhang Han's consent.

Li Ling was hesitant, but the battle was right in front of him and he had no more time to think.
Chapter completed!
