Chapter 195 Eve

After Shang Xin left, Ying Zheng felt a little relieved, but Feng Quji was not happy.

Even if 50,000 rebel troops were destroyed, there would still be 100,000 left, which would still be incomparable to the 50,000 city defense troops.

"Your Majesty." Feng Quji raised his hand, "Why didn't you just ask clearly what Li Zhao relied on to completely wipe out the rebel army?"

This question has been lingering around him. Again, it is impossible for Li Zhao to defeat the rebel army with the help of the Chang'an villagers, unless he has a big killer weapon. But hearing that Li Zhao's big killer weapon has been used up, this possibility is not high.

.

He believed that Li Zhao had other weapons, even more powerful than the mass murder weapon, and it was this weapon that wiped out all 50,000 thieves.

In fact, his idea is very simple.

When the enemy is strong and we are weak, if such a weapon can be placed on the defensive city, the bandit army will not have to worry about defeating it.

Ying Zheng did not answer him directly, but looked deeply at Feng Quji and Taiwei, and answered the question: "What do you think of young Li Zhao as a person?"

Feng Quji didn't mince words, he raised his hands and said: "Greedy, but loyal."

"Lieutenant, what do you think?" Ying Zheng did not respond to Feng Quji and glanced at the Taiwei unexpectedly.

The lieutenant was startled and said quickly: "I think General Li is very good, very good." He was worried that His Majesty would think of him because he had just questioned Li Zhao.

But Ying Zheng had no expression on his face and had no intention of questioning him again. Instead, he examined him and asked again: "What about you?"

These words were very serious. They were words to question the two of them. Feng Quji didn't mind it at all, and replied cheerfully: "I am loyal to your Majesty."

But the Taiwei was different. He knelt down quickly, cursing himself thousands of times in his heart. He scolded himself for questioning Li Zhao even though he knew His Majesty favored and trusted Li Zhao. Isn't this self-inflicted?

No, Your Majesty doubts him.

He said timidly, "I have no doubts about Your Majesty."

There were drops of sweat dripping from my forehead.

In fact, the lieutenant was overthinking, and His Majesty still had no intention of blaming him.

Ying Zheng's face softened, he showed a hint of satisfaction, sighed, stepped back, and said solemnly:

"Now that it's happened, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Do you still remember what official position Li Zhao held before he was named general?"

"Young Master!" the Taiwei replied quickly.

"Thousands of generals!" Feng Quji glanced cautiously at Ying Zheng and replied.

"Yes, a thousand-man general commanding two thousand armies."

"But do you know that the two thousand troops are called the elite of the Tiger Army and have been hidden in secret?"

Ying Zheng has no doubts about the loyalty of the two people. At this moment, in order to make them feel at ease, it is necessary to speak out.

"Is there such a thing?" Feng Quji was surprised. The next moment, he seemed to think of something and shouted, his eyes widening, "Your Majesty means..." Realizing that his voice was too loud, he quickly lowered his voice, "Chang'an Township is destroyed.

The thieves were fifty thousand, but Li Zhao secretly mobilized two thousand elites."

After Li Zhao defeated the bandits in Saga Mountain, His Majesty made Li Zhao a general with a thousand men and gave him two thousand troops. He knew about this and also knew that His Majesty was interested in Li Zhao's big killer weapon, but he didn't know it later.

, the two thousand troops seemed to have disappeared.

Now it seems that Li Zhao must have secretly trained the two thousand troops and created many deadly weapons for the two thousand troops to use.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that he was able to kill 50,000 thieves. After all, they were two thousand elites holding a powerful weapon in hand, and no one could defeat them.

Ying Zheng nodded, actually his guess was the same.

As for what Shang Xin said was the bandit army that Li Zhao led to destroy Chang'an Township, it was filtered by him. Shang Xin was just a slave. How could he know the existence of two thousand elites?

"Haha!" After receiving His Majesty's affirmative answer, Feng Quji suddenly laughed, and the heart that had been suppressed for several days was suddenly released.

With 2,000 elite guards capable of killing 50,000 thieves, plus 50,000 city defense troops, the east gate is stable.

"Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty. The two thousand elites are so outstanding. They are truly the pinnacle of our great Qin's destiny. With them here, our great Qin is as stable as Mount Tai."

Feng Quji congratulated him. After realizing this, the Taiwei was also overjoyed and quickly congratulated him.

"Okay!" Ying Zheng showed a rare smile, waved his hand and said, "You will stay here and accompany me to see how the two thousand troops resist the enemy."

"How curious!"

Yes, not only Ying Zheng was curious, but Feng Quji was also curious. Two thousand troops killed fifty thousand troops. Their combat power was so powerful. What would happen if they faced a hundred thousand troops with a city wall for defense?

If they don't think it will be completely wiped out, they don't know how much it can be wiped out.

This was good news. Suddenly, the three of them felt much relieved. They ordered someone to bring snacks and ate them with confidence, as if the crisis outside had nothing to do with them.

In a deep mountain two miles away from the east gate, there is a temporary camp. There are several people sitting in the camp, including Zhang Liang, Jia Xiong, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others.

Faintly, Zhang Liang sat in the main seat, Jia Xiong sat next to him, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang sat in the lower seats, followed by a group of Confucian scholars, followed by leaders and other figures.

"How far can Cao Yang reach the west gate?" Zhang Liang asked a commander.

This commander is someone who spies on the enemy and is arranging spies to be deployed under Xianyang City to investigate.

The commander handed over his hand and said: "Go back to the military division. According to the spies' report, there is no such thing."

"Not yet?" Zhang Liang stood up and stared at the commander, "What is he doing to eat? It has been several days and he still hasn't reached Ximen?"

The commander lowered his head and said: "According to the spies, General Cao has arrived in Chang'an Township, but why he has not arrived at Ximen for a while is unknown."

"You? You don't know such important information. Are you worthy of Mr. Xiang?" Zhang Liang was furious. He pulled out his sword fiercely and was about to stab it out, but was stopped by Jia Xiong next to him.

"Commander, please calm down. Now that General Cao has arrived in Chang'an Township, the matter is settled. Please note that the journey from Chang'an Township to Xianyang only takes two hours, and it does not affect our plan."

After hearing this, Zhang Liang calmed down his anger, but said harshly to the commander: "If you order the spies to investigate again, they must know Cao Yang's whereabouts."

"No!" the commander quickly agreed and backed away.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Liang shouted to the commander. The commander stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhang Liang blankly.

"What's the situation in Xianyang? Is it still the original deployment?"

The commander thought for a while, but did not answer immediately.

In fact, he came to the camp this time to report the matter, but Zhang Liang's attitude towards him made him very dissatisfied, so he said: "It's still the same as before."

"Really?" Zhang Liang was cautious and stared at the commander sideways, and the commander nodded.

"Okay, you go down!"

Zhang Liang waved.

The commander left, and when he had gone a long way, his eyes showed resentment, and he said to himself: "Humph, Mr. Xiang is really blind. He actually let him take command, and let me wait until we go to a dangerous cliff. He is so overbearing, and I don't succeed."

What can you do to me if you wish?"

"Hmph! The Qin army has gathered 50,000 troops at the east gate, so go ahead and fight! If you suffer a loss then, let's see how Duke Xiang punishes you."

It has to be said that the rebel army is not monolithic, and there are naturally contradictions.

"When you suffer a loss and beg me again, he will embarrass you."

Zhang Liang didn't know what the commander was thinking. At this moment, Zhengxie smiled and looked at Jia Xiong.

"General Jia, have all the details in the city been arranged?"

Jia Xiong's face trembled, and he had a ruthless look on his face. "It's naturally been arranged. As soon as my rebel army arrives, the east and west gates will open."

Zhang Liang nodded with satisfaction, but smiled strangely and said: "In addition to these two gates, the south gate must also be opened."

Jia Xiong frowned, unable to understand what Zhang Liang meant, and asked, "Why did the military advisor arrange this?"

You must know that there are not many agents that he arranged to sneak into the city. It is already difficult to open the east and west gates at the same time. Opening another south gate will definitely cause unnecessary impact. This is not the main reason. The main thing is that the agents who sneaked in are all his.

If the people he cultivated were found to be destroyed, it would be a great loss to him.

"No need to ask any more questions, my military advisor has made his own arrangements."

Jia Xiong was very unhappy when he heard this. He risked his life to commit treason just to win the favor of Duke Xiang, but now he kept it from him because he didn't believe him.

That night, Jia Xiong was preparing to take a rest. Zhang Liang sent someone to find him and led him to his tent. Zhang Liang changed his dignified attitude during the day and smiled in a flattering manner.

"General, I hope you won't mind what happened during the day. This is just what I did as a last resort."

Jia Xiong felt a little relieved after hearing this, but asked: "Why?"

"This is Zifang's plan. Zifang cannot trust Zhang Mo."

Zhang Mo is the commander in charge of spying on military affairs.

"Oh! Commander Zhang is known as Gui Mo Zi and his spying skills are very good. How can I not trust him?"

Zhang Liang did not explain, "This is Zifang's intuition. He must be unreliable, so I asked you to find out more so that I can make a decision to attack the city."

Jia Xiong nodded and secretly said that Zhang Liang was being cautious, but he had already placed his hope on Zifang, so naturally he did not give it up. Soon, he sent someone to sneak towards Xianyang.

Two hours later, it was reported that the city defense army had concentrated all 50,000 troops on the east gate, leaving the other three gates empty.
