"Boom~" Suddenly, the entire area was filled with smoke, and the sergeants could hardly tell whether they were enemies or friends in front of them. Then there were continuous explosions and roars in various areas of Xianyang City, and chaos instantly broke out.
When the smoke cleared, the prisoners had disappeared, and all the sergeants guarding the scene were dumbfounded.
Qin's law is strict, and this kind of dereliction of duty is punishable by death. He immediately looked at the supervisor on the high platform in panic: Lieutenant Gao.
"All sergeants listen to the order and search the whole city. Be sure not to let a single prisoner escape!"
"promise!"
After the sergeants left, Gao Yao smiled, now it was time to see what surprise Ogawa could bring him.
...
Xianyang City, a slum area, a hidden street, Yi Xiaochuan helped Xiang Yu to the door of a small house, knocked on the door, three long and one short.
The wooden door opened, and an honest and honest man came out. When he saw the weak Xiang Yu, he respectfully shouted: "Young Master."
Xiang Yu nodded: "Help me go in and rest."
"promise!"
Yi Xiaochuan was a little worried. Things went so smoothly this time, and they almost followed his script.
"Is it safe here?"
"Don't worry, strong man, it is absolutely safe here. We have lived here for three years, and there is a secret passage behind the door. If something unexpected happens, His Highness can leave first."
Yi Xiaochuan nodded, feeling more at ease now. After entering the door, he just helped Xiang Yu to bed.
"The prisoner has escaped there, chase him quickly!"
The civilian husband rushed in: "Your Highness, hurry up, the sergeants are chasing you, they are searching from house to house, and there are wolf guards present, even in the cellar it is not safe."
Yi Xiaochuan and a few strong men had no choice but to carry Xiang Yu on their backs and escape through the secret passage at the back.
After a while, five sergeants knocked on the door.
The civilian husband came out, nodded and bowed: "Hello, Master Jun, what can I do?"
"Qiang!"
The civilian husband covered his throat, fell to the ground, widened his eyes, and pointed at the sergeant: "No, I won't tell you..."
Several sergeants smiled at each other and looked at the sky. They could only see a black shadow hovering in the sky. They quickly continued to follow the instructions.
Next, a large house with a courtyard is a wealthy businessman; a high-level house with a single courtyard is an official; there is a sergeant mark, which is a military officer;
After changing three houses in a row, even Xiang Yu in Consciousness Mohu noticed something was wrong. They changed houses, and the sergeant checked one house.
Is this hunting or fishing?
Today's Xianyang seems to have an invisible big hand, using them to find out the details left by the Six Kingdoms. Anyone who dares to take in treasonous criminals does not need to be tried, and must be a rebel.
"Get out, get out of the city!" Xiang Yu decided immediately.
Yi Xiaochuan was also in a panic at this time. He was no longer the lonely man he was before. He had a family and a house. Although his wife was ugly, his family didn't give him any money, and he didn't have a job. The house was not his yet, but... forget it, continue.
Run.
It’s okay if you don’t want this one!
Getting out of the city was unexpectedly smooth. Xianyang City looked so chaotic, but the city gate hadn't been sealed yet.
However, Xiang Yu and his party couldn't care less at this time. They got into the prepared carriage and hurriedly and slowly arrived at a remote village at night.
This time the pursuers finally did not follow.
After being treated by the doctor, Xiang Yu lay on the bed and looked at Yi Xiaochuan gratefully: "Brother Xiaochuan, we are one and the same, two brothers. I don't have much to say about my gratitude. If I ascend the throne from now on, I will share the world with you."
Yi Xiaochuan looked outside, a little worried.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu consoled him: "Brother Xiaochuan, don't worry, this village is very remote, and those sergeants will never find it.
Let’s recuperate first and then pursue great things.”
Yi Xiaochuan:......
These words seem a bit familiar!
Sure enough, early the next morning.
"Oh no, there are many sergeants coming from outside the village, and the village chief has been arrested!"
Yi Xiaochuan:......
"Fortunately, we also have a secret passage here. Let's go first. I, Xiang Yu, will never forget these martyrs who sacrificed their lives!"
Three months passed, and Yi Xiaochuan, Xiang Yu and others were almost going crazy. No matter where they ran, wolf guards would chase them on the second or third day, and then a family of loyal ministers and righteous men would surely die.
In the end, the elders of the Six Nations also discovered the clues. This was purely fishing. They accepted one family to death. In just three months, their strength on paper was almost destroyed.
Couldn't help any more!
Now Xiang Yu and others finally have nowhere to go, and even their tribesmen dare not take them in anymore.
Yi Xiaochuan initially doubted that the wolf guards could track them, so he changed all their clothes and even shaved their hair to no avail.
Then they occasionally saw a golden lily in the sky, and at first they thought it was a golden lily passing by. But after following it for a while, they figured out the problem and tried to walk in the dark at night wearing black clothes.
Even if Jinqiu has good eyesight, he will never be able to find it in the dark at night.
The result was still useless. On the second and third days, the golden wilting could be seen spinning in the sky again. The key was flying too high, and the distance between the bow and arrow was not enough. Soon the sergeant came after him.
Why? In the dense forest, Yi Xiaochuan accidentally caught a glimpse of mice on a tree in the distance, and even had a strange idea in his mind. Could it be that these mice could tell the truth?
Then he shook his head abruptly, thinking that he was stupid and that the wisdom of a mouse was incapable of making any precise actions.
Why on earth is that? You can’t have trackers on yourself and others, right? This is unreasonable!
Xiang Yu sat slumped against the tree, raised his head, and stared blankly at the sky. He had gone from being high-spirited when he escaped to now looking like an old man in his twilight years. He had experienced too much in the past few days.
"Brother Xiaochuan, you go alone!"
Yi Xiaochuan looked at brother Xiang Yu in surprise.
Xiang Yu sighed: "These days, I have not seen the cruelty and cruelty of the Qin Dynasty that the elders in the clan said about the common people. Instead, because of me, so many originally happy families were broken up and so many brothers were killed."
"The people of our Chu State are living very well in Da Qin. Maybe we are wrong! The people do not need to experience the Seven Kingdoms Conflict again."
At this moment, Xiang Yu was both desperate and relieved.
Yi Xiaochuan quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Brother Xiang Yu, you have to cheer up! The Yingzheng is unjust and the Qin Dynasty is tyrannical. When the time comes, as long as you rise up, we will definitely overthrow the Qin Dynasty!"
"Hahahaha!" Xiang Yu laughed when he heard this. He believed this before, because the Great Qin used to be like this, but now it has changed.
"Xiang..." Yi Xiaochuan was about to continue persuading.
"Where is the man? Don't let him escape this time. Captain Gao informed us that the mission has been completed! We can go home!"
"Great!"
Yi Xiaochuan was startled and quickly tried to pull Xiang Yu up: "Brother Xiang Yu, let's go quickly!"
Xiang Yu pushed Yi Xiaochuan away and shouted: "You go, I don't want to run anymore? Do you think I can still run there? Do you know what everyone thinks of me now?"
What a running dog! What a lost dog!
Wherever I go, I harm others? They all think I am leading the way! I am Da Qin’s lackey!
I don’t want to be a dog!”
After saying this, Xiang Yu stood up, drew his sword, shouted, and rushed towards the person.
"I want to tell them that I, Xiang Yu, am not a dog! I am Xiang Yu, the Great Chu!"
Then I was directly blinded by the lime, and then trapped by the barbed wire, and I couldn't even hold on for three breaths.
Yi Xiaochuan:......
"There's another one over there!"
"Woooooooo!" The wolf howled loudly around.
Yi Xiaochuan also stopped, smiled miserably, faced the sergeant, and asked: "Is the Captain Gao you are talking about Gao Yao?"
"Bold, the captain's name is also worthy of being called by a bereaved dog like you!"
"Bang!" Yi Xiaochuan was knocked to the ground directly, and then everyone punched and kicked him.
A report needs to be written on this operation. If no one is beaten by then, wouldn't it mean that we are not giving Captain Gao face?
"Uh~" Yi Xiaochuan groaned, and there was a sudden sharp pain in his waist, as if he had been kicked in the kidney.
"Okay, stop fighting! Tied up everything, go back and ask for credit! Let's get promoted and make a fortune together, brothers!"
"Oh!" the sergeants cheered immediately.
After running for three months, the weather was windy and rainy. Although I brought a special sachet made by Eagle Dog Captain and there were no mosquito bites, my eating and sleeping were definitely not as comfortable as at home.
Now I'm fine, I can finally go home!
...
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng stood in front of a huge sand table.
In the past, this was a map of the Qin Dynasty, with only simple mountains and rivers on it. But now it is more detailed than before, and maps of South Vietnam and the Xiongnu have also been added.
On the map, everything from mountains and rivers to as small as a road, a well and a village are all marked in detail. Even the mountain heights, weather conditions, animals and plants, and power control in some areas are described in detail.
In addition to creating a trade deficit when he established a mutual market, the other thing he did was to have the craftsmen lurk in the caravans to gather information and draw maps.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Although Da Qin's army was at its peak now, it quickly declined, but he did not want to fight a second time. The lives of Da Qin soldiers were much more valuable than the lives of those barbarians.
"Your Majesty, Captain Gao wants to see you!"
"Xuan!"
"promise!"
Gao Yao walked in with a smile. After all, he had successfully completed the task and made a great contribution. When he returned, he could show off in front of Le Ye and Lu Su.
What he likes most is when Lu Su admires him and says: "Uncle, you are so awesome!"
I don't know why, but he was very excited when he heard this.
hey-hey!
Ying Zheng was delighted when he saw Gao Yao: "Looking at your expression, the results of this operation are good."
Gao Yao then put away his smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty, we followed Xiang Yu and crossed eight counties. We arrested more than 5,000 thieves in total and involved more than 300 households. Among them, 25 families of officials were temporarily untouched.
However, soldiers have been mobilized to surround his residence, and the rest of the wealthy businessmen, landowners, and civilians have been captured."
Of course, the arrest of officials must be ordered by Ying Zheng himself, and he still understands this.
"Oh, what is the highest level of officials involved?" Ying Zheng asked curiously. After all, the Six Kingdoms had ruled for hundreds of years, and it was normal to have a few die-hard loyalists.
"Internal history, Meng Tian!" Gao Yao said slowly.
Ying Zheng's heart sank. In the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, Meng Tian was named a general and attacked Qi. For his contribution to defeating Qi, he was worshiped as internal history and was responsible for the garrison of Xianyang.
Such people are participating in rebellion, who can he trust?
"what happened?"
"Speaking of which, I don't have much to do with General Meng. He still recognizes Yi Xiaochuan as his biological brother..." Gao Yao went on to explain.
Although he used to think that he and Ogawa were brothers, but others didn't like him, so forget it. At this time, he didn't bother to help defend anything, so he just told the truth.
When Gao was about to finish his explanation, Ying Zheng calmed down and thought that he was so unjust and unhelpful that even the Meng family stood against him.
Thinking of the detailed intelligence about South Vietnam that Meng Tian sent in Changsha County some time ago, Ying Zheng sighed. It was the most troublesome thing for him when it came to such important ministers.
"Go back and compile a list of the officials involved and hand it over." Ying Zheng ordered.
"promise!"
After giving the instructions, Ying Zheng looked at the sand table in front of him. He thought for a while, looked up and found that Gao Yao was still there. He laughed and cursed: "No food will be left today!"
Gao Yao was a little aggrieved: "Your Majesty, it's okay if you don't give me my reward. My subordinates have been exposed to wind and rain for several months, so they must be comforted no matter what."
"You kid, you will be rewarded, get out!"
"Okay!" Gao Yao quickly turned around and ran away.
Ying Zheng shook his head. This guy honestly didn't have a sharp eye, but he liked it so he felt free to use him. Then he continued to observe the sand table. With Da Qin's current preparations, he should have a 30% chance of winning against South Vietnam. The remaining 70% depends on the weather.
Look at the logistics.
In a place like South Vietnam, with high mountains and dense forests, and a miasma of mosquitoes, if we can't work hard at once, the war is likely to fall into a stalemate. In the long run, the soldiers will not adapt to the climate and will inevitably lose.
To fight against the outside world, one must first secure the inside. Now that Xiang Yu has led the way, the opposition forces in Da Qin have been dealt a heavy blow, and he has to start thinking about expansion.
"Don't worry, let's wait for the explosives to come out. By then we will open a road through the mountains, and the logistics should be able to keep up!" Ying Zheng said as he looked at the large land in South Vietnam.
Expanding territory is the highest honor of every emperor.
Then Ying Zheng remembered Yi Xiaochuan. This person actually played a lot of role in this operation. If it weren't for his identity as Meng Tian's brother, only the survivors of the Chu Kingdom would accept Xiang Yu.
But it was different with Yi Xiaochuan. If the internal history of the Qin Dynasty and the brother of General Meng Tian were good friends, wouldn't the rebellion be just a handful? So when the forces of the Six Kingdoms started, they spared no effort to rescue Xiang Yu and his party.
As a result, everyone was bleeding.
Ying Zheng suddenly smiled, maybe he could keep Yi Xiaochuan and go fishing again.
"Xuan!"
Manager Zhao, who was on duty at the door, came in, took out a pen and paper, lay down on the ground and started recording.
"Meng Yi, the younger brother of Meng Tian in the Nei Shi, personally committed danger and merged with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. He led the way and served with merit. He was given a fourth-level knighthood and was ordered to be responsible for supervising and killing the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."
After hearing this, General Manager Zhao hesitated for a moment and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Meng Yi resisted arrest and was beaten by the sergeants. According to the doctor's examination, the injury was very serious, even... even..."
"What's wrong?" Ying Zheng looked at Manager Zhao.
"You may even lose your fertility!" Manager Zhao quickly knelt down and said.
Ying Zheng was stunned: "Does the Meng family have a heir?"
"Yes, the Meng family has received good news in the past few months. Dozens of concubines are pregnant!"
Ying Zheng was relieved. If he really had no heirs, he would have to consider withdrawing Meng Tian.
A general without worries is too dangerous.
"Then wait until Meng Yi is able to move before killing him!" Ying Zheng ordered.
He had to see how much spare power the Six Nations had.
"promise!"
After his younger brother left, Ying Zheng continued to look at the huge sand table in front of him, and his heart surged as he remembered the vastness of the planet he had seen.
Da Qin will remain forever!
"Whoosh~" Miao Le jumped in from the window and saw Yile, the shit shoveler, leaping high and spreading his limbs.
"Meow~"
Shoveling shit, catch me quickly!
Ying Zheng turned around just in time, and Miao Le rushed directly into the sand table and plowed the ground.
"Bang~"
Turning around, he stared at the sand table in front of him that the eunuchs and maids had built for several days according to the map, and Tmall, who was lying on the sand table covered in mud and lost in thought.
Ying Zheng raised his head and sighed: "Silly cat!"
