It all depends on the telegram

Author: big bell

"Okay, you go think of a way to get the thousands of elites out of trouble! Then I'll take care of it."

Li Zhao didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. When a thousand elites couldn't come back, he had to find a way to solve the problem at hand.

Although the remaining 1,000 elites had terrifying weapons, they were still only 1,000 men. Even with the addition of 500 red-coated cannons and artillery, they could not defeat Hu Hai's 80,000 city defense troops.

Let's not talk about starting a war, even if it is a siege, Shanglinyuan will be trapped alive.

"Young master, do you need me to do anything?" Seeing the young master's attitude, Wu Quan was a little anxious. He was afraid that the young master would blame him for not reporting the incident of a thousand elite soldiers out in time.

"When I think about it carefully, I will naturally come to you if I need you."

"Okay." Wu Quan withdrew, and Li Zhao quickly walked to the telegraph office.

The only way to solve the current predicament is to know more latest news as soon as possible, and telegram is the best way to know the news.

A few days ago, when the telegraph system was being built, the main station was placed in Shanglinyuan, under the supervision of General Gongzi, while Gongzi Gao operated secretly outside, completely forming a system for monitoring the Guanzhong area.

Of course, the Six Kingdoms transfer base station is also quietly under construction and currently covers many places. Xiaozhuang is in charge here.

"Li Zhao, you are here."

"Master."

As soon as Li Zhao entered the secret telegraph office, General Lu and Xiao Zhuang came over and saluted. Li Zhao smiled at them, returned the salute, and immediately asked about the situation in Guanzhong.

At present, only by thoroughly understanding the situation in Guanzhong can we make better responses.

"Can you monitor the location of the thousands of elites who are out?"

As soon as the telegraph system was completed these days, General Lu started to explore it, and tried to receive the message and have the telegraph operator decode it, and then sent slaves to the designated place to explore.

The decoded information was compared with the information reported by the slaves, and they were surprisingly consistent.

In other words, the information obtained by this telegraph system was real, which shocked him for a long time. This was not the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing was that the information in the telegraph could be obtained immediately.

, several days earlier than the information sent back by the police station.

This was a surprising discovery, and even more unimaginable discovery. For a moment, he actually had an extra layer of mystery about Li Zhao. He could get the latest information immediately with just a piece of iron. This was compared to Da Qin's most advanced

Both sitting detectives and scouts are strong.

This is definitely a bizarre thing that has never happened before, and it is the most bizarre thing in history. Fortunately, it happened to happen to him.

How could he not be ecstatic about this? This thing was more attractive than the position of prince!

Since then, he has been deeply fascinated by the telegraph system.

"Later, I will contact other base stations to see if there is any news about Thousand Elites."

Soon, the young master asked the telegraph operator to send the telegram code.

The telegraph machine was electrified. It could be connected to electricity directly in Shanglinyuan, but there was no electricity in other places. At that time, Li Zhao also thought of this and bought a large solar battery from a department store, which was enough to supply the telegraph machine for a long time.

time.

In addition, in order to build a first-class intelligence system, he also purchased a lot of telescopes, walkie-talkies, monitors, etc. from department stores, all for spying.

With these modern things, even the tiger's den can dig out the latest news, but Qin Shihuang's Black Ice Platform is far behind and difficult to catch up with.

In such a complex situation, only by obtaining first-hand intelligence can we remain invincible.

During this time, the young masters and generals were not idle. In addition to training the detectives, they were also familiar with these modern products. The more they discovered the magic of these modern products, the more they respected Li Zhao. This was also their respect for Li Zhao.

One of the reasons for the mystery.

In less than half an hour, the telegraph message came out. After decoding, it was known that a thousand elite soldiers were trapped in the mountain col, and there were 20,000 Qin troops surrounding them.

"Sure enough!" Li Zhao muttered. This confirmed that Wu Quan was not lying. One thousand elites were indeed trapped. Judging from the situation that 20,000 people surrounded a thousand people without attacking, the Qin army was still afraid of a thousand elites.

, that is to say, there is currently no threat to their lives.

Of course, if they were given some time, they would be able to escape, and they might even destroy the 20,000 Qin army. He was not worried about this, as a thousand elites had this strength.

"Very good, very good!"

Li Zhao was very satisfied with receiving such accurate news, which showed that there was nothing wrong with the telegraph system and that the telegraph system extended far and wide.

"Immediately explore Xianyang or Hangu Pass to see if there is any unusual movement?"

Hu Hai's actions were too suspicious. He had to find out why they left Xianyang empty and spent all their money to besiege Shanglin Garden.

This time it was very fast. The telegram was sent back after only a few quarters of an hour. The decryptor quickly decoded it. Li Zhao frowned and suddenly understood.

"Zhang Han was appointed to lead an army of 700,000 prisoners to Hangu Pass. The target may be Julu City."

As I was thinking about the news, I suddenly felt something in my heart.

"Julu City? Battle of Julu?"

Four words came to mind. The famous Battle of Julu in history was coming? Li Zhao was shocked.

"That's it! No wonder he dared to go to war in such a big way and left Xianyang empty. It turned out that he had been prepared for it."

At this moment, Li Zhao had some understanding of what Hu Hai did, no, what the people behind the scenes did.

Historically, the Battle of Julu was the decisive battle between Xiang Yu and Zhang Han. Xiang Yu relied on his bravery to defeat more with less and defeated the Qin army of 300,000. He also completely defeated the main force of the Qin army and laid the foundation for the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

It was Xiang Yu's outstanding performance that won the recognition of the princes, so many princes came to vote for him, and he became the overlord of Chu.

"So Xiang Yu should be close to Julu, and Liu Ji should also be here."

"It's just." Li Zhao frowned again. Historically, Xiang Yu won the battle of Julu. That was in the era of cold weapons. Can he still win now?

It should be noted that the Qin army has squatting tiger cannons, and it does not require bravery to defeat them.

"Sure enough, it's a good plan. 700,000 prisoner troops deal with the rebel army, and 80,000 city defense troops attack Shanglinyuan. How can we win? Since the victory is so huge, how can the people behind the scenes care whether Xianyang is empty?"

Li Zhao thought about it, but his pace was getting slower and slower, so slow that it was a bit laborious. If there were no other variables, even if the Meng and Wang masters brought five hundred red cannons to help, they would not be able to save the situation.

Being able to dispatch the prisoner army must also have more artillery, which is definitely not something Xiang Yu and others can deal with.

"Prisoner Army?"

According to historical progress, if you think that it was Zhang Han who sent out the prisoner army to attack the rebel army, and Zhang Han was idle and did not care about the affairs of the government and the public at all, and now he was called out and launched the prisoner army in a short period of time, it must be someone.

Arranged.

In other words, someone knew the history of the Qin Dynasty and made such an arrangement. Who could it be? It must be Duke Xiang, because only Duke Xiang knew about the Battle of Julu.

"It seems that Duke Xiang has already arranged everything! I wonder if he knows a man named Yingbu."

Li Zhao thought, and immediately thought that Yingbu was a variable.

Historically, Yingbu came from the prisoner army and was highly used by Zhang Han, but later turned against him and joined Xiang Yu. If we work hard from him, will there be a breakthrough?

Li Zhao began to think.

There is also Zhang Han. After being defeated by Xiang Yu in history, he was plotted by Zhao Gao and finally took refuge in Zhang Han and became King Yong. Today, with many changes in history, will he join Xiang Yu?

This is difficult to explain. After all, Zhang Han was defeated in the Battle of Julu in history, and Zhao Gao found an excuse to plot against him. Will he lose at this moment? It is difficult. Since it is difficult, it will be difficult for him to rebel.

Unless someone intervenes.

Li Zhao closed his eyes and tried hard to think of countermeasures.

Zhang Han was originally his, and they had a good relationship. If he was said to be powerful, would he have defected to Xiang Yu in advance? If both Zhang Han and Yingbu defected to Xiang Yu, the 700,000 prisoner army would have been dismantled and conquered

Xianyang will take no effort.

This is just his idea. It's hard for him to say whether it will actually work like this. After all, Xiang Gong also knows the progress of history. Since he can let Zhang Han lead the prisoner army, he will definitely guard against Yingbu and Zhang Han.

of betrayal.

This is the key to the problem, but there is another thing that Mr. Xiang doesn’t know, and that is hehe! Mr. Xiang doesn’t necessarily know that he is also a time traveler. Of course, even if he knows, will he take precautions?

Probably not, because he must have thought that since he was trapped in Shanglinyuan without any support, he must be unable to stop this.

This is Li Zhao's weakness and also his advantage.
