Xingyang.

As the storm was in turmoil, all forces gathered here. This important town of Sanchuan has become a new target for Liu Bang's interests. Zhao Ben, who was still immersed in internal fighting in the military actions of the anti-Qin coalition forces after the Battle of the White Horse, was very slow to react.

Finally expelling Yang Xiong from Xingyang, which made Zhao Ben very proud for several days. From the third in command to the top in command, from being able to nod and look at people's eyes, to being in power, Zhao Ben experienced the various benefits of power.

A group of vested interests have gathered around Zhao Ben and Wang Ming. Their methods of obtaining wealth are very simple, which is to frame accusation, fight back, and then to fabricate charges, throw the rebels into prison or kill them. At this point, Zhao Ben and his clan uncle Zhao Gao are no different.

In the face of huge wealth, Zhao Ben was already confused. In his opinion, the strong city of Xingyang was already strong enough. Since Wu Guang's hundreds of thousands of people failed to break the city, who would dare to attack Xingyang?

Out of caution, Zhao Ben had ordered the guards on the north bank of the White Horse to withdraw the city to consolidate the city, so that the number of Qin troops in the city reached 10,000. Although most of them were new soldiers temporarily recruited after Yang Xiong left, and their combat effectiveness was limited, Zhao Ben believed that it was enough to defend the city.

Facing the upcoming threat from Liu Bang's army, Zhao Ben didn't care at all, which made the neutral faction, who had always been fighting against Zhao and Li, could no longer sit still.

Once Xingyang falls, Zhao Ben is not the one who is unlucky.

Zongzheng Mansion.

Chen Di was very depressed recently. This trip to Sanchuan made him feel the shaking of the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Xianyang is located in the hinterland of Guanzhong, blocking Hangu Pass. Even if the Guandong side is in trouble, as long as Zhao Gao ordered people to intercept messengers in Hangu, Wuguan and the Yunzhong area in the north, what Xianyang heard is still a good situation of singing and dancing to peace.

The matter was not over and was hanged up. Chen Di always had a disregard for the internal strife in Xingyang. Prime Minister Zhao Gao was powerful and could not be a brink of royal family. He asked Chen Di to help the evildoer like Wang Ming and slander Li Si, Li You and his son, and Chen Di could not do it.

Silence is also a silent resistance.

Chen Di's attitude was changing, and the attitudes of other people who were not tainted with Zhao Ben and Wang Ming were also changing. When Liu Bang's army appeared outside the city, Ying Yushu, who had been tolerant, took action. Zong Zheng Chen Di was her first lobbying target.

"I heard that Chen Zongzheng has been restless recently and specially brought a good incense to calm the mind. The incense was left by the old emperor. It has been almost two years in a flash, and I am very worried." Ying Yushu was still wearing plain clothes, and only inserted a small yellow flower at the root of his hairline, which looked particularly simple and elegant.

He brought out the previous emperor to show his identity. Although Hu Hai killed his brothers and sisters, as long as he did not kill Ying Yushu for a day, Ying Yushu would still be the eldest princess of Qin and the royal family with noble status.

"The eldest princess killed the young minister. Logically, it should be the young minister who came to visit the eldest princess first." Chen Di was very nervous and said nicely, but the fact was that he deliberately distanced himself from the Li family a few days ago, for fear of causing trouble. Now Ying Yushu kissed his mansion. If Zhao Ben and Wang Ming knew about it, it would be really hard to explain.

"Oh, I am waiting for Zong Zheng in the mansion. I hope it won't take too long. I can afford to wait. The rebels outside cannot afford to wait." After Ying Yushu said that, without waiting for Chen Di to reply, he stood up and left the Chen mansion.

Today she came to give Chen Di a chance. Whether she could catch it depends on Chen Di's attitude. If Chen Di visited again, then it would be possible to talk about alliances next. If Chen Di was still frightened by Zhao Gao's power and did not make a choice, then Ying Yushu would not need to spend any effort on Chen Di.

In Sanchuan County, in Xingyang, Li Si was run by two generations of father and son. The foundation of the Li family had long been buried deep underground. Zhao Ben was able to cut off the trunk of the tree, but could not uproot the Li family. Zhao Ben, a military officer of the military marquis and chief of Qu, could be bought, county magistrates and county magistrates could be won over, and Zhao Ben would probably not be interested in paying attention to such indifference roles as Shi Zheng, sergeant, or minor official, and jury linger, and the potential of the Li family was hidden in it.

Once this potential bursts out, it will be enough to make the Li family's Xianyu turn over. Of course, this requires an excellent leader.

Li Si served as the prime minister of Qin for many years and could not have no power. Li Si did make a mistake in choosing a crown prince. He unexpectedly expected the stupidity of Hu Hai, the young king. Li Si actually foresaw something wrong. He appointed Li You as the governor of Sanchuan County to maintain a way out.

With military power in hand, I don’t have to worry about Zhao Gao’s changes.

Li Si had a good idea, but his man's plan was not as good as God's plan. He never expected that the anti-Qin wave set off by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang would turn his layout into a bubble.

In Xianyang, after taking over the military power of Xianyang, the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhao Gao immediately launched a court coup, and ordered Li Si and Feng Quji to be killed or imprisoned. At this time, Li You were surrounded in Xingyang because of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army and were unable to return to help, so he could only watch Zhao Gao gain power.

By the time Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were defeated, the general situation in the court was irreversible. Zhao Gao's confidant, Zhang Han, the Shaofu, became the general of Qin. Zhao Gao's strength suddenly increased greatly and had far surpassed Li Si. Li You had few soldiers and could only obey Zhang Han's orders, which was also the reason why he eventually defeated Yongqiu.

After Li You died, the actual controller of the Li family was replaced by Ying Yushu, which was the only choice under helpless circumstances. In the history that Li Yuan did not travel through time, Ying Yushu was like a tent of floating dry grass in the long river, rising with the wind and falling with the wind, leaving no trace.

——.

The river is surging, and the snowflakes in early winter have begun to fall one after another. In a few days, another cold current from the northern grasslands is heading south, and the river that has been flowing for three seasons will also freeze.

A Qin army grain transport fleet from Luoyang was going downstream. It was a team of three building ships, eleven flatbed ships, and more than 360 sailors. Their purpose was Changyi, the Qin State's large granary in Guandong. However, before arriving in Changyi, the fleet must also stay in Xingyang for supplies.

During the land war, the anti-Qin coalition forces won steadily, which posed a great threat to the water transportation of the Qin army. If it were not for Zhang Han from Zhao, Wang Li's two armies urgently needed food, fodder and supplies, this time the Qin navy would not have taken the risk.

The towering tower ship bow.

A young Qin general with a tall figure and dark face stood up, allowing snowflakes to fall on his black armor. After a while, the white snow covered his entire body.

"Well, Li Dai - the lieutenant, the wine temperature is ready!" The cabin door of the building opened, and Gu Yun was dressed in men's clothes, lifting the curtain with a heroic look.

Li Daizi ——, he is a stupid guy.

On this cold day, I stood at the bow of the boat, so blankly that I didn't know what I was thinking.
