When Zhao Gao, who was reinstated as Lang Zhongling, returned to his residence in Xianyang from Wangyi Palace, his son-in-law Yan Le congratulated him.
"Wang Ben is dead, and Heifu is blocked from Wuguan again. I can rest easy now!"
He lowered his voice: "Do you want to stop the communication with the six countries?"
"You have to hold on tight and don't relax at all!"
Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Although Wang Ben is dead, his old men may also want to kill me and hurry up. And the black man is getting closer and closer to Xianyang..."
A vicious dog is grinning outside the door. Once you open the door, it will pounce and bite your throat. Zhao Gao can't help but be afraid...
"Furthermore, His Majesty was so ill that he sought medical treatment. Not only did he not want to kill brother Meng Tian, but he also wanted to release him. Meng Yi is my enemy. If he is released and gains power, he will use Wang Ben's words to kill me."
Zhao Gao felt that he had lost his game, and now he was no longer a human being. Wang Ben's old men, the Meng brothers, and Hei Fu all wanted him to be the head of the family.
It would be useless even if Hu Hai protected him.
"The Qin Dynasty is over. Your Majesty wants to transfer Wang Li to the south as a general, but we all know that this Marquis of Wucheng is no more like his father than his ancestor. He can only boast but has no generals. He is absolutely unreliable."
Moreover, Zhao Gao discovered with vigilance.
"There is something wrong with Li Si!"
"I don't know what this old thief is thinking. He just agrees with me and wants to stop Meng Tian. Wang Li is the general..."
Could it be a fellow traveler? Zhao Shenhai had a bad feeling.
On the one hand, he had to be wary of Li Si, but on the other hand, he still had to tighten up his communication with the Six Nations!
Zhao Gao looked to the east anxiously:
"I wonder if Zhang Ao has arrived in Wei?"
…
In mid-April of the first year of the Second Emperor's reign, Zhang Ao was crossing the Taihang Mountains and walking on Zhiguanxing (Jiyuan County, Henan Province).
The Taihang Mountains stretch thousands of miles across and separate Shanxi and Hebei. However, there are also some ravines and trails among the towering mountains, which are called "Xing".
Zhiguanxing is the first of the "Taihang Eight Mountains" in later generations. It is located in the south, between Taihang and Wangwu Mountains. The local legend is that an old man named "Foolish Old Man" led his descendants to clear the way and moved the Emperor and Empress of Heaven. , let the God of Snakes move away.
After bypassing the foothills of Wangwu Mountain, the mountains became more and more rugged, the road gradually narrowed, the rolling mountains occupied the sky, and one pass after another appeared in front of us.
The zhi refers to the end of the axle, and the zhi road refers to the dangerous pass of only one zhi (car). It is a narrow path in the mountains. Where it passes, there are high mountains and rapid waterfalls, so it is really a dangerous pass.
At the end of it, there was Zhi Pass again. Zhang Ao held the customs clearance festival from Xianyang and successfully passed the pass and arrived in Hanoi County.
When Zhang Ao was walking in Hedong, he saw only peace, but Hanoi was different. All he saw was heading west. The refugees who wanted to go to Hedong through Zhiguan wanted to avoid the disaster of war. The Qin army, Zhao and Wei were fighting Fierce fighting in Hanoi.
It turned out that during the few months Zhang Ao was on the road, the situation in Kanto changed again.
As the news of Wang Ben's death spread to Sanchuan and Yingchuan, the morale of the local Qin army was also greatly reduced. However, the main force of the Chu army had arrived in Daliang from Chendi. With the cooperation of the Koreans, they suffered a suffocating meal in Aocang. Xiang Yu launched another fierce attack on Xingyang. The Qin army in Xingyang could not defend it, so they burned Aocang and withdrew.
Nearly a million stones of grain in Aocang were turned into ashes and smoke. It is said that the fire burned for three days and three nights. Even in Hanoi County on the other side of the river, you can smell the aroma of roasted corn...
Xiang Yu failed to obtain the grain from Aocang and was so angry that he massacred Xingyang City again. He immediately marched westward. Although he was in the capital, he defeated Su Jiao again and beheaded nearly a thousand captives. However, he was blocked by the fortress of Chenggao, where Sanchuan defended
Zhao Ben sent troops to support Su Jiao and stabilized the front.
It has been half a month, and the Chu army is still unable to cross the danger of Hulao and advance to Luoyang, let alone Hangu Pass.
It's like Heifu has arrived at the gate and knocked on the door, but the Chu army is still a street away from Guanzhong.
Xiang Yu was impatient, so he ordered Wei Prime Minister to open his ears and lead 10,000 Wei troops to cross the river and go north to cooperate with the Zhao army to capture Hanoi.
Judging from his intention, he probably wants to take the Mengjin Ferry in Hanoi, directly attack Luoyang by the Zhao and Wei armies, and then attack Chenggao...
At present, 20,000 people from Zhao Jun and Li Zuoche have surrounded Huai County (Wushe County, Henan Province), where Hanoi is governed, while Wei Prime Minister Zhang Er is attacking Wen County (Wen County, Henan Province)...
After hearing Zhang Er's warmth, Zhang Ao's throat moved slightly.
"The distance from Zhi County to Wen County is only a hundred miles." "Father, in sixteen years, I have never been so close to you..."
He no longer hesitated, and immediately pretended that he was a messenger who had been ordered to deliver orders to the front line, and was escorted to Yewang County.
Yewang County is the most unique among all the counties in the Qin Dynasty, because the ruler here is not the county magistrate, but a feudal lord, Wei Junjiao.
The Wei State was originally a great vassal in the Zhou Dynasty, but it declined even more under the attack of the Jin State and Qi State. By the Warring States Period, it had become a fat sheep that everyone wanted to kill. The Wei State and the Zhao State often started wars in order to fight for the Wei State.
Over the past hundred years, Wei has been reduced to a vassal of the Wei State. The king no longer has the title of marquis and is only called the king. His status is no different from that of any other minor feudal lord in the Wei State.
In the sixth year of the First Emperor of Qin, the Qin army seized the eastern territory of the Wei State, established Dongjun, and took back Puyang, the last territory of the Wei State, for itself. Perhaps because Lu Buwei was a member of the Wei State, he did not destroy the Wei State Sheji, but only transferred the Wei State to it.
Junjiao moved to Hanoi Yewang and asked him to be a peaceful king here.
After Qin Shihuang came to power, he didn't know whether he forgot about Wei Jun or not, but he didn't care about him. The Wei Kingdom was just a relic of the previous era, and it existed peacefully in the unified country of the Qin Dynasty.
In the original history, this small country that appeared in various truth-telling articles like "Did you know, Qin Shihuang did not unify China" would be revoked by the Second World War. But now that the world is in chaos, Hu Hai has no time to take care of himself, and Hanoi is also in chaos.
Do you still have time to deal with it?
Except for the multiple lords, the Yewang is no different from the general Qin County. Because under the banner of Xianyang envoy, Zhang Ao was warmly received by Weijunjiao, with delicacies on the table, and the voices of Zheng and Wei in the hall kept talking to him.
He made a toast and told his troubles about the bandits from the Six Nations disrupting Hanoi.
Wei Junjiao was in his fifties, looked gentle and elegant, and was a good-natured man. He bowed to Zhang Ao and said:
"I hope that after your envoy returns to Xianyang, he can report to your majesty on my behalf. The bandits are in chaos, and the wild king may not be able to protect him. I wish I could move to the east of the river."
Zhang Ao agreed wholeheartedly, and after the banquet was over, Wei Junjiao planned to ask several women to serve him. They were really unrestrained. They wanted to take off Zhang Ao's belt as soon as they entered the door, and one of them with heavy makeup even touched it underneath.
But it’s all empty!
The woman's face froze in an instant, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Naturally, they were immediately driven away angrily by Zhang Ao!
As a prisoner, Zhang Ao was most sensitive to his lower body. When he was teased by these women, he thought of his mutilated body again and began to feel inferior to himself.
Thinking that he would arrive in Wen County tomorrow and see his long-lost father, Zhang Ao became hesitant for a while, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Although his fate has been ups and downs, Zhang Ao is, after all, just a young man in his early twenties.
I fell asleep like this until late at night, when a rustling sound came from outside.
Zhang Ao thought that Wei Junjiao wanted a woman to serve him again, and was very angry. However, he heard several muffled groans and realized something was wrong.
Before Zhang Ao could get the sword, the door was kicked open! A group of guards rushed in and pulled the embarrassed Zhang Ao out!
Several of Zhang Ao's men had fallen into a pool of blood. Outside were soldiers holding open fires. Wei Junjiao was also wearing a military uniform and looked at Zhang Ao with a smile.
"Wei Jun, what do you mean?" Zhang Ao didn't panic, he only blamed himself for being careless.
Wei Junjiao cupped his hands towards Zhang Ao and said: "I'm really sorry for your honor. The wild king went to Xianyang for more than a thousand miles. Mountains and rivers blocked him. Far water can't save the nearby fire. In order to continue the eight hundred years of Weiguo's country, I have to do it."
We can only save ourselves."
Zhang Ao understood: "Do you want to surrender to the Six Kingdoms?"
Wei Junjiao said: "To be fair to your envoy, the Wei army is coming. My family was originally a vassal of Wei. Today I have returned to Wei. I have surrendered to Prime Minister Wei. As for your envoy... this is a gift to express my sincerity!"
"Hahaha!"
When Wei Junjiao said this, Zhang Ao almost laughed to tears. He really didn't expect that he would meet his colleagues here.
Wei Junjiao said: "You eunuch, why are you laughing?" He already knew from several maids that this was an eunuch who had been tortured.
Zhang Ao raised his chin proudly: "Mr. Wei, do you know the relationship between Prime Minister Wei and me?"
"What does it matter?"
"Xiang Wei is my father!"
"Hahaha!"
"Your eunuch is really ridiculous."
Wei Junjiao immediately became happy. These words made him happier than watching a group of prostitutes dancing naked:
"You said that the Prime Minister of Wei State is your father?"
"I can still say that Wuzhonghou Heifu is my son!"
