On the road from the Hakgu Pass to Xianyang, a Qin army of two thousand men was advancing rapidly.
But it was at such a pace that the whole group maintained a certain degree of neatness.
The road was also met with checkpoints, and they were very skilful in holding their transfer orders without any problems.
The extremely handsome Qin general at the head of the group was even better at being a man, having the normal transfer orders and also giving some money for the brothers to drink.
The Qin army sprinted all the way towards Xianyang.
The old Qin people on both sides of the road looked at the mighty and majestic Qin army and couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
They had served the Qin Empire so well, but now the Qin Empire was in turmoil, with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms making a comeback.
Even Wuguan is under siege. How many years has it been since this has happened?
Only after this Qin army had disappeared from their sight did these old Qin men sigh and resume their labours.
Now that the young men had gone off to war, they were burdened with the task of reclaiming the land.
But what they did not know was that this Qin army did not go into the other counties, but spread out and went to one of the farms.
At this moment inside a farmhouse controlled by a farming family.
Zhao Lang stood in the very middle, with the others by his side and Ji Wushuang also with his men at one side.
Zhao Lang was looking at a simple map and said with a somewhat solemn expression that
“We still have two days to go before we reach Xianyang, slave, what is the situation in the city today?”
Attacking Xianyang is not such an easy task, one must be cautious!
He only had this one chance.
Nu soon returned and
“Master, both the spiderwebs and the lowly have reported back that there is nothing unusual in Xianyang City right now, and everyone still thinks you are in Wuguan.”
“But there is one piece of news that is good for the master.”
Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows as he listened, and Nu continued at this point, saying
“Not long ago everyone in Xianyang City saw that the forbidden guards, who were responsible for escorting Xianyang, were sent out, supposedly to the south, to fight the Xiang clan.”
“Now the ones guarding Xianyang are the nearby county armies, and there are county armies entering Xianyang all the time.”
Hearing these words, Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up with
“Is the news reliable?”
If it really was, then the possibility of taking Xianyang would be much greater.
The county soldiers of the Great Qin were then not bad, but compared to the forbidden army, it was not on the same level.
Even now, Zhao Lang could not forget that when he first entered Xianyang, the escort was the Praetorian Guard who was travelling with the Emperor.
When he was on his southern tour, he learned even more about their strength.
With the walls of Xianyang, these men of his own would have to pay a great price to take Xianyang!
But the county soldiers that was a different matter altogether!
What’s more, these men are probably not familiar with Xianyang either.
Is there a loophole one can exploit?
Nou hastened back at this point and said
“Master, I verified the information of these people by using the spider web and the humble ones to corroborate each other, to be sure.”
This was the advantage of having dual sources of information, no need to worry about being deceived.
Zhao Lang gave a high five and said.
“Then it’s true!”
Nu nodded and continued.
“It’s just that the officials have also given orders for all the people of the city, to be ready to resist.”
“Even the various nobles are doing the same.”
Zhao Lang frowned slightly as he listened, so it seemed that the First Emperor had made thorough preparations and had a strong will to resist, ah.
But it was also true, if this point of mind wasn’t there, then it wouldn’t be the same First Emperor who could unite the world under one roof.
Zhao Lang thought about it at this time and quickly said to Ji Wushuang, who was at his side.
“How is the recruitment of the peasants going?”
Now was the time to talk about business, and the attitude was to be businesslike.
Ji Wushuang did not care, and said indifferently that
“There are now more than 100,000 peasants who are willing to fight for the peasant family.”
Knock, knock, knock.
Before Ji Wushuang’s words fell, a few muffled thuds rang out in the room.
Wei Wangguo and Han Wangcheng almost fell straight to the floor, and even Zhao Lang couldn’t help but take a step backwards, saying
“So many?”
How many men had he only brought into the pass?
Only two thousand men!
Now Ji Wushuang was talking to him, and he just had a hundred thousand men?
A hundred thousand troops would be more than enough to take down the old Qin people guarded by county soldiers!
Ji Wushuang, however, gave a slight sigh at this time and said that
“Chief, although there are so many people, you should take a look at those soldiers.”
Zhao Lang froze slightly and said that
“Is there something wrong?”
Ji Wushuang didn’t say much at this time, but waved his hand at the farmer and said
“Let a woo of people come in.”
Soon, five men walked in.
These five men entered and left in good order, even their equipment was complete, just a little old, and at first glance they were trained.
Such talent was extremely rare.
It was only when Zhao Lang saw the faces of the five men that he was slightly stunned that
“Dare I ask a few of you old men, how old are you?”
The one at the head of the group returned the
“The old man is fifty and two years old!”
“Don’t worry chief, the old man can still fight!”
He said, and raised the weapon in his hand.
Zhao Lang, however, could only give a bitter laugh, then told several people to go down and rest first, in case they fell it would not be good.
“These 100,000 people are all like this?”
Zhao Lang was having some difficulty, if it was such a 100,000-strong army, it was a question of whether they could make it to Xianyang.
Luckily, at this time Ji Wushuang shook her head and said that
“Not really.”
This was what rekindled Zhao Lang’s hope, just as he heard Ji Wushuang say.
“The others are older than them.”
Zhao Lang froze straight away and
“How can that be?”
Now, although the world was in turmoil, it hadn’t reached this point yet.
Ji Wushuang bristled and said
“There are still nearly five thousand young and strong people too, but the others are mostly like this now.”
“The old Qin people in the Great Qin Pass are all good fighters, most of the others have been recruited by the official government of the Great Qin, and there are still nearly 200,000 of them, in South Vietnam and stationed there.”
“Of course, there are still some who are unwilling to go and attack Xianyang, and they have quite a few sons and daughters who are working as county soldiers in Xianyang.”
Zhao Lang immediately understood, the First Emperor was catching the old Qin people, a sheep, in grip, and this wool was almost bald.
No wonder he himself was around his own stately home at that time and saw mostly old people as well.
Either that or they were just as skinny and young as the ones who went to die.
It was also no wonder that Ji Wushuang and the others were able to gather so many peasants in the land of Guanzhong.
The old Qin people still had a grudge against the First Emperor.
To think that after so many years of fighting and dying with the First Emperor, this was the final outcome.
Of course, the first emperor did it for the sake of a thousand generations, but this was not something that everyone could understand.
But then, his plan to attack Xianyang by force would have been foiled.
He could not drive these old men to attack Xianyang by force, could he?
Of course, if he was really ruthless, it was still possible.
But when he looked at those old men, who were about the same age as his own father, he could not be ruthless.
For a while, the people in the room all had their own thoughts.
Han Wangcheng was already thinking about how to persuade Zhao Lang to use the 100,000 troops to attack Xianyang.
They had all endured hardships to get here, so should they just give up?
Even Wei Wang Gu, who had always been compassionate to the people, bit his lip.
For Xianyang was too important to Zhao Lang.
Occupying Xianyang and sealing off the surrounding area was the former land of the Great Qin, the true foundation of the emperor!
With Zhao Lang’s ability, he would surely be able to unite the world!
This is no longer a matter for Zhao Lang alone!
Just because you can’t spare 100,000 peasants, you can’t put the whole world at risk!
At this time, Zhao Lang’s mind was also rapidly calculating, and suddenly thought of something and said
“Nu, you just said that there are still many county soldiers entering Xianyang?”
Nu nodded his head.
Zhao Lang looked at the Qin army attire on the crowd at this time, narrowed his own eyes, and said
“You guys, do you think we look like the county soldiers who went to support Xianyang. ”
Hearing this, the crowd first froze, and then were filled with shock!
The more stoic King Kou of Wei, who was on the side, swallowed his saliva and said that
“King Zhao, you want to pretend to be county soldiers and enter the city, then take advantage of the opportunity to respond from the inside?”
Even though he knew Zhao Lang’s boldness, his heart trembled a little when he heard the other party’s intention.
This was more than boldness, this was a man with a man on his guts!
On the side, Han Wangcheng was also dumbfounded and said in a hurry that
“King Zhao, why don’t we think of another way?”
This method of Zhao Lang’s was simply too dangerous.
They had just heard the information from the slave, and now the whole of Xianyang was a universal army.
Once these two thousand people were discovered, they would not be able to escape!
Zhao Lang shook his head at this time and said.
“Who said anything about an inside out?”
“With the manpower we have, even if we enter Xianyang, I’m afraid it will be difficult to approach the city gates.”
The generals of the Great Qin garrison were not fools.
How could they let Zhao Lang, who was new to the city, guard the key places?
Hearing Zhao Lang’s words, the others were a little confused and said that
“Then after entering the city, what is the purpose of not attacking the city from inside and outside?”
Zhao Lang revealed a smile at this time, and directly put his hand to the very centre of the map, saying fiercely that
“This king is going to go here!!!”
The crowd couldn’t help but look over, and when they saw clearly where Zhao Lang’s hand had landed, everyone directly trembled.
The King of Wei, Blame, almost shuddered and said
“The Imperial Palace?”
The place Zhao Lang was referring to was none other than the Xianyang Imperial Palace!
Zhao Long was not just a man with guts, he was a man with guts that was so big that it was wrapped in the sky!
Han Wangcheng couldn’t even speak properly anymore.
“Brother Long, why don’t we come back another time.”
What was this about?
Two thousand men going in to Xianyang to fight the Great Qin’s palace?
Do these people even want to live?
There is no such game!
But on the other hand, Hu Hai was so excited that he could hardly stand it, and said with a glare.
“Brother Long! I’m with you!”
The others all looked at each other like they had seen a ghost, two days ago they were watching you hug Zhao Lang’s thigh and cry your eyes out.
How come you think you can do it again when you have to fight the palace?
The palace is where Hu Hai is not afraid of this.
It’s his home!
The guards at the Hakgu Pass don’t know him, but who doesn’t know him at the palace!
This was his last chance, this bleep, and he played it!
Zhao Long gave Hai a somewhat surprised look, this one was getting braver and braver with each passing battle?
He had cleared his mind by this time, however, and quickly said in a deep voice that
“Let’s find a county that is located far away, and then use the transfer order from the general of the Huanguguan Pass to have the original county soldiers go to the Huanguguan Valley and get their paperwork as a way to enter Xianyang.”
“After entering Xianyang, create chaos within Xianyang City, and we will use the name of guarding the palace to head to the palace!”
“Meanwhile, the King of Yan besieges Xianyang with an army of 100,000!”
“As long as we can take the palace, and then hold the Duke Hu Hai hostage in the name of killing the traitor Zhao Gao, then the Xianyang garrison will be broken without any attack!”
This was his plan.
The First Emperor had claimed to be ill for so long that everyone in the world had already thought he was dead.
Since this was the case, if he really killed the First Emperor, the people of the world would not know about it.
This hatred could not reach him.
On the contrary, just by looking at the reaction of the guards at the Hangu Pass, Zhao Lang felt that it was perfectly possible to put up the banner of killing the traitorous Zhao Gao.
He didn’t have a good feeling about Zhao Gao himself anyway, so he would have killed him.
Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to rescue his father and Uncle Zhao.
It could be said that it was a good move.
When Zhao Lang finished speaking, the whole room was silent!
The crowd looked at me, and I looked at you, yet they felt that there was some chance of winning.
After a long while, it was the king of Wei who said, with a few moments of doubt
“King of Zhao, this plan does sound good, but where is the King of Yan?”
They had never seen the King of Yan when they arrived here.
Zhao Lang tapped his head at this time and said that
“Oh, I forgot about that, Holy Maiden.”
When Ji Wushuang heard the call, she immediately tied her hair, changed her voice, and said
“This king has met King Han, King Wei.”
The King of Wei blinked as he looked at Ji Wushuang, his mind in a state of confusion.
King Han Cheng was outright dumbfounded.
Zhao Lang couldn’t care less right now, saying in a loud voice that
“All follow the plan! This time, we must break through Xianyang!”
Soon, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Lang said to the slaves at the side of
“Send a message to the Spider Web and the Lowly One to prepare to create chaos.”
“And tell the Moors to concentrate some of them, they’ll be useful when the time comes.”
He would concentrate all the power available to him now!
The slave quickly led the order and left.
Within minutes, there were several fast horses, heading towards Xianyang!
A day later, inside Xianyang City, the technical courtyard.
Mei was looking at a piece of cloth with a serious face.
After reading it, her mood was slightly agitated.
Only last year, she had helped Zhao Lang leave Xianyang, and she hadn’t expected that the other side would be fighting back so soon!
She hadn’t followed the wrong person!
“Go and get our men ready, that night, the mansions of those dignitaries who mistreated their slaves will be on fire!”
Mei quickly instructed with her own maid.
After Zhao Lang’s transformation, the humble ones today were not the same as before.
It has become even more powerful!
The maids soon left. Those dignitaries and noblemen who mistreated their servants and treated them like animals were not worthy of death!
On the other side, the Mo family also received the message.
After reading it, Vantage’s face was slightly serious, but he did not hesitate too much.
Since he had already chosen Zhao Lang, at this point, he could only keep going. Nowadays, the world was in turmoil, and the sooner it ended, the less the people of the world would suffer.
He quickly commanded that
“Have the rangers all get ready.”
All at once led the way and left.
All at once, the whole of Xianyang was in a state of darkness.
Two days later, a fairly unified Qin army was ushered in outside Xianyang.
The Qin soldiers guarding the gate checked the paperwork and it was all in order.
Without much fuss, they were put inside the city, as many county soldiers had also entered the city over the past few days.
