Zhang Han believed it to be true.

What he noticed about Li Yuan's unexpected rise in Xingyang was not Zhang Han's confusion, but the intimidation from the new Qin Prime Minister Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao, who came to power through conspiracy and intrigue, was obsessed with power to the point of near madness. If Zhang Han had not been able to fight, he would still be of use to Zhao Gao, but I am afraid that his position as a general would not be secure. Therefore, Zhang Han's influence on Zhao Gao

Ben, the nephew of the Zhaogao clan, took the request for help seriously and immediately sent his cousin Zhang Ping to lead troops to help.

At the same time that Zhang Ping led his army to set off, Wang Li, the Qin general in Handan, also received an urgent letter from Xingyang. Unlike the only letter sent by Bai Guangji to Jiyuan, Wang Li had two letters in his hand from Xingyang.

One was the same letter drafted by Chen Ping as Zhang Han, and the other was a private letter from a major underground force lurking in Xingyang City.

This force lurked in the marketplace and made friends with the rough and tumble men of all religions. During the Xingyang Mutiny, it was the gainer from beginning to end.

Peony House.

Aunt Gongsun hid behind the scenes during the Xingyang Incident. This was her usual style. She represented her side of the force, Guan Yue in the officialdom, and Gu Yun beside Li Yuan. Both of them were instigated by Li Yuan.

Key figures in the Xingyang Mutiny, especially Gu Yun, played a large role in early contacts.

Handan.

The name of this former capital of the Zhao Kingdom is quite domineering, symbolizing the Zhao people's bloody spirit of never giving up. The smoke of the Battle of Changping has dispersed, and the new generation of Zhao people has grown up. In this anti-Qin riot, the Zhao people

Although it was not the first to raise the banner, it was the most difficult one among the various princes.

From the territory of Zhao State to Guanzhong, there is no need to pass through Hangu Pass. Whether you go roundabout from Jiuyuan in the north or directly cross the river to the west, you can go straight to the hinterland of Guanzhong of Qin State. As a famous general of Qin State, Wang Jian

Sun Tzu, Wang Li is very proud of his family background. Wang Li has always had an obsession with the Zhao people who provided the greatest resistance to Qin in the battle of unification, and that is to lead the army to defeat the Zhao army again.

Changping was commanded by Bai Qi, and it was that battle that established Bai Qi's reputation as the God of Killing. Now, Wang Li wants to prove that he is no worse than Bai Qi at all, and he has to do even better.

Old Zhao Wangfu.

Several generals from the Great Qin Border Army gathered around Wang Li, including the fierce general Su Jiao, the veteran general She Jian, and Meng Hu, who was younger than Wang Li. The postures of these professional soldiers from the Qin State were the same as those of the generals unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors.

Standing upright, with swords in their hands, and solemn expressions. They are the guarantee for the Qin State to gallop freely and defeat enemy armies one after another. They are the purest soldiers. They obey orders and march wherever they are ordered.

"Major General, there is an emergency in Xingyang. Our army's food route has been cut off. It is urgent. I would like to lead an army south to defeat the rebels." The person who asked for the order was the veteran general Shejian. Shejian, who was mainly responsible for the supply of the army's supplies, was more important than the others.

In order to pay attention to the changes in Xingyang, if there is a problem with the supply of 100,000 Qin troops, other generals can still escape, but he will not be relieved of his responsibility.

"Old general, don't be impatient. Let's take a look at this letter." Wang Li waved his hand and handed the private message from Xingyang to Shejian.

After Shejian and others finished reading, Wang Lifang began to say in a deep voice: "According to the news in Xingyang City, County Governor Yang Xiong no longer controls the power of the county soldiers. County Lieutenant Zhao Bi was captured and imprisoned. Now Xingyang is under the control of a man named Li Yuan."

He is controlled by someone who is very powerful and can fight well. I heard that Fan Kuai, the number one general under Liu Bang, died in his hands, so we must not underestimate him."

"Fan Kuai is dead!" Su Jiao exclaimed, and his strong shoulders couldn't help but shrug. Not long ago, in the battle at Gangli, Su Jiao led the army and fought with Fan Kuai. Although he could not say that he used his full strength, Fan Kuai's bravery It still left a deep impression on Su Jiao.

"Since Li Yuan sent a messenger to Handan to ask for help, Ji Yuan will definitely do the same thing. I think that by this time, the general will have already sent troops. If we send infantry to rush for reinforcements, we will probably be there soon. However, the Jiyuan Army, so if you want to take the lead, you have to let the cavalry come to the rescue." Wang Li turned his attention to Su Jiao. The Su tribe was the most elite of the border troops, and the crossbow cavalry among them were quick to attack. It is said that it is even called the enemy in terms of marching speed.

"Haha, don't worry, Major General, a certain family also wants to meet the hero who killed Fan Kuai." Su Jiao laughed and responded. If there is a battle, and he can compete with Zhang Han's reinforcements for credit, this is what Su Jiao hopes most.

Wang Li took out a tiger talisman and said to the young general Meng Hu who had been standing by silently: "Marquis Meng, General Su is leading the army this time. You are the deputy general and responsible for protecting the flanks and rear. You understand."

Meng Hu raised his eyebrows on his childish face and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, General, Meng Hu will protect General Su's safety."

Meng Hu, like Wang Li, were both famous generals in the Qin State. Meng Hu's grandfather Meng Wu, uncle Meng Yi, and Meng Tian were all great generals in the Qin State. The glory of the Meng family reached its highest peak during the period of the First Emperor. At that time, Meng Hu Yi was the Shangqing and served beside the First Emperor, and gained the Emperor's trust. Meng Tian was the chief general of the Qin border army and was responsible for building the Great Wall of Qin in the Shangjun and Jiuyuan areas.

The tragedy of the Meng family began after the First Emperor fell ill. The First Emperor visited Guandong and fell ill in Langye. Meng Yi was ordered to return to Xianyang to pray to the God of Mountains and Rivers worshiped by the Qin State. As a result, his departure was doomed for the rest of the Qin Empire. Turmoil. After Meng Yi left, Zhao Gao quickly became a confidant serving the First Emperor. As a result, he colluded with Li Si, abandoned Prince Fusu, and established the second Hu Hai. This series of conspiracies not only led to the demise of the Qin Empire, but also led to the destruction of the Qin Empire. The Meng clan who had been following Prince Fusu had suffered an unprecedented blow.

When Hu Hai ascended the throne, Zhao Gao immediately ordered on behalf of Qin II to kill Meng Yi who was stationed in Daizhou. In the same year, Meng Tian in Shangjun was also killed. The Meng family's power in the court was uprooted. If Meng Hu hadn't been there, In the border army, as a low-level officer, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape Zhao Gao's vicious hands.

Wang Li asked Meng Hu to accompany Su Jiao for two reasons. First, he wanted to train the young man. Meng Hu's military position was too low, and he was the most particular about military merit among the border troops. Meng Hu could only rely on his ancestors. With a little merit, it is absolutely impossible to be promoted. Secondly, Meng Hu's identity is too sensitive. If he continues to stay with Wang Li, his goal will be too big. Zhao Gao has already started to be wary of the border troops. Not long ago, there was The supervisory troops from Xianyang arrived in Handan and began to intervene in military command.
