Chapter 518 Father and Son
When the rebel leaders led by Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Chen Sheng ran away, the rebels at the city gate immediately scattered their birds and beasts, and they had no intention of resisting at all. Not long after, Ying Chengjiao successfully occupied the city gate and won Li Chen's army in.
Speaking of which, Li Chen did not do much in this battle. Apart from the feint attack at the beginning, it did not play any role. Of course, the main reason was that Xianyang City was high and thick, and they were all cavalry in a hurry. Without excellent siege equipment, they could only sigh at the city.
After Li Chen entered the city, the battle in the north of Xianyang City was coming to an end. From the beginning, Li Chen's feint attack, when Ying Chengjiao led the soldiers in the city to seize the gate. Xianyang North City was the most intense place of battle, and it was even better than the battle in the palace.
You should know that Li You defended the city in the palace, and Ying Chengjiao on the north city was a siege. From this, we can see that Ying Chengjiao fought beautifully.
At this time, Hu Hai's rebels had long been fleeing in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City like scattered rabbits. At this time, their troops were left unattended, and their morale was dispersed. They were driven away by the Qin army like ducks.
"June Chang'an, please accept a bow every moment." Li Chen led the army into the city. At this time, Ying Chengjiao was standing at the gate to greet him. Seeing Ying Chengjiao covered in blood, Li Chen dismounted and bowed respectfully to Ying Chengjiao.
It is true that Li Chen and Ying Chengjiao have a grudge, but now the two only discuss right or wrong, regardless of grudge. Ying Chengjiao at this moment deserves Li Chen's admiration.
"snort."
"This is the territory of my Ying family. If I don't protect me, who else can protect me?" Ying Chengjiao said with a cold face and was not angry.
After all, Li Chen had no intention of letting Ying Chengjiao greet him with a smile. Just show his attitude at this time, and the rest would be fine.
"I am tired. Since the marquis has entered the city, the command power will be returned to the marquis. I have returned to the mansion." After Ying Chengjiao said that, he held his son and ordered several subordinates to carry his wife's bones, and then rode back to the mansion.
"Where is Zhao Que?" Li Chen looked around and did not see Zhao Que. He asked the Qin army beside him.
"Report to the Marquis, Lord Zhao led the people from Hei Bingtai to save the prince." A general of the Qin army replied.
Since Zhao Que has led people to save Fusu, there is no need to arrange this matter. Zhao Que comes to deal with Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao is more than enough now to have two stray dogs.
"Liu Bang, Cao Shen, you two lead most of the rebels in the city. Remember not to disturb the people. You must move quickly. I am afraid that these people will inevitably hurt the innocent if they are anxious." Li Chen looked at the two and ordered.
"Get orders." Liu Bang, Cao Shen and others immediately bowed their hands and said.
"Wang Li, you and I will lead your army to the palace to guard Your Majesty." Li Chen continued to order.
Nowadays, in Xianyang City, besides the battle at the North City Gate, the most intense battlefield is the Imperial Palace. The palace is at the southmost point, and Li Chen still doesn’t know what the battle is going on at this time. The reason why he chose the North City Gate to enter the city was to avoid implicating the Imperial Palace. But who knew that Hu Hai actually started first.
After Li Chen finished his instructions, he led his subordinates toward the palace. At this time, he did not dare to delay for a moment. However, when they arrived at the palace, they saw the ruined outer city of the palace.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Li Chen didn't care about his taboos at this time and led his troops straight past the burned wall of the palace. He grabbed a little eunuch and smelled it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has brought people to Zhao Gao's mansion."
"Your Majesty said that you will kill the rebellious son with your own hands."
The little eunuch said tremblingly, obviously what he said was the original words of the First Emperor.
Zhao Gao’s mansion.
At this time, the First Emperor had already led his men into Zhao Gao's mansion and surrounded Zhao Gao and Hu Hai in the main hall. Fusu, who was tortured, was also rescued and sent to the clinic for emergency treatment.
Hundreds of imperial guards surrounded the main hall. The crossbows in their hands were already on Xuan. As long as the First Emperor gave the order, the people in the room would be shot into hedgehogs.
"Your Majesty, it is my bewitched young master. This matter has nothing to do with the young master. Please spare your life."
"In this matter, the old minister is willing to die to apologize." In the main hall, Zhao Gao's sharp and hoarse voice sounded.
The First Emperor stood outside the main hall, looking at the distance of more than ten feet. These more than ten feet seemed to be a natural barrier, completely isolated the relationship between the father and son.
"Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, no one has dared to rebel in the imperial city. He hurt his brother, imprisoned his father, burned the imperial city, and killed his uncle..."
"These things, one by one, beat Hu Hai, how can I forgive you if you ask me to do it?" The First Emperor's voice seemed like a thunder.
"I won the king and lost the enemy, and I won the king and fell to this point, and I accepted it."
"Father Ya, don't ask him. Today, you and I will go on the road together, and there will be a companion on the road of Huangquan." Hu Hai's voice sounded.
"A father and son fight, I will give you a decent way to die."
"For a quarter of an hour, you will break yourself up." The voice of the First Emperor rang.
As soon as these words were said, the relationship between father and son was completely broken. The tiger poison did not eat his son. If Hu Hai had not committed an unforgivable sin, how could the First Emperor watch his son die? The First Emperor closed his eyes, and a few crystal tears appeared in his tiger's eyes.
In the main hall, Hu Hai picked up the oil lamp on the table, took off the lampshade, and said slowly: "Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, where does it come from and where does it go."
"Bang."
The oil lamp was thrown heavily and came to the ground again. The lamp oil ignited the fire, and the wooden furniture all over the room, and the blazing fire started to burn almost in a moment. In the fire, two figures could be vaguely seen.
The fire in the main hall burned for half an hour. The First Emperor stood quietly outside the fire, and looked at his son quietly. The dust returned to dust and the soil returned to earth.
"Puff."
The moment the fire burned out, the First Emperor could not help but have a severe pain in his back. A mouthful of blood spurted out and he fell to the ground.
"Imperial Doctor, pass on the Imperial Doctor quickly." Li You yelled quickly.
"Has Ronglu Hou entered the city? Xuan Ronglu Hou came." The First Emperor said weakly.
"Your Majesty, I'm late." After about a stick of incense, Li Chen knelt in front of the First Emperor on one knee.
"It's good if you come, it's good if you come."
"I don't know if I can hold on. Now the Qin Dynasty is in vain and I still have to rely on my beloved ministers." The First Emperor said weakly.
"Tell me my will."
"The conferred Ronglu Hou Li Chen as the Grand Marshal of the World, commanded the military affairs of the world, and controlled the military affairs of the Qin Dynasty. The Crown Prince Fusu was in charge of government affairs. If the crown prince could not be saved, Xuan Yinggao would return to the court to take charge of the government." The First Emperor issued an order in a weak tone.
Three days later, the palace.
"Doctor Xia, how is Your Majesty's injury?" Li Chen asked while standing outside the hall.
"I'm injured when I go back to the Grand Marshal. I need to rest. I'm afraid I'll be in a coma for a while." Xia Wuqi replied.
"How is the prince's injury?" Li Chen continued to ask.
