Volume 7 Chapter 163 Xianyang Rebellion (I)
Since when did you get to this point?
Chang Yu asked himself, he was just on the side of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji Qingjun to cut down those who hindered the mother and son. Among them, the biggest obstacle is Lü Buwei, who has repeatedly instigated Ying Zheng to reduce his military power, Ying Zheng is only twenty years old, and it is inevitable that he will have other ideas after listening to it.
With Chang Yu's understanding of Ying Zheng, as long as Zhao Ji doesn't speak, Ying Zheng will not dare to kill himself at any time. Because Ying Zheng is a person with a true temperament, Ying Zheng will not do anything that disobeys Zhao Ji.
Sending troops into Xianyang is definitely a wrong move. Chang Yu recalled carefully, remembering that when this decision was made last night, it was an envoy from Wei who came to say it. That guy said well, as long as he invaded Xianyang, he would let Wei send troops to create friction on the border, and after killing Lü Buwei, Ying Zheng did not dare to punish Chang Xinhou, who had heavy troops, for the sake of the overall situation.
But now it seems that Chang Yu smelled the smell of conspiracy, and the matter of falsely spreading Yi's will was wrong. Now that Lü Buwei is missing, the army marches into Xianyang City, and he will bear at least one charge of rebellion. During the Yingzheng crown ceremony, if there was chaos in Xianyang and it affected the crown ceremony, what would Zhao Ji think?
Others don't know, but Chang Yu is the one who knows the mother and son best. In the days he spent with Zhao Ji, he could feel that Zhao Ji very much wanted to invade Handan and avenge the humiliation he had held hostage in Zhao back then. To accomplish this, Ying Zheng must become the true King of Qin.
To kill those who hinder them, Chang Yu felt that it was right, but if he didn't kill Lu Buwei after entering Xianyang, and let him jump out alive to continue to bewitch Yingzheng, then his fate would be miserable.
Now there is still a turning point, as Nei Shishi and Ling Qi said, as long as you don't enter this city gate, everything is easy to say. In the future, Ying Zheng asked, as long as he gave a high-sounding crown ceremony, for the safety of the king, the army went out to patrol, and it could be perfunctory. Ying Zheng gave himself a charge of falsely spreading Yi's will at most, and this charge was not enough to kill himself.
After pulling back, the 10,000 garrison guards are intact as before, and with Zhao Ji's temperament, he will also speak for himself. The most troublesome point now is whether to enter this city, in case of a conflict with the city guards after entering, and the garrison guards are damaged, it will inevitably provoke Zhao Ji.
The soldiers of Yongcheng, that is Zhao Ji's heart, all the people of Yongcheng love Zhao Ji over the years. Even if Zhao Ji is reluctant to kill herself, she has to make a severe punishment to show the people of Yongcheng. The most important thing is that Ying Zheng wants to establish a monarch, why would he be so confused and take the initiative to jump out?
The most unfortunate thing was the lack of preparation, in order to kill Lü Buwei by surprise, the whole army of 40,000 people did not bring food and grass. Along the way, there was a detour, and it was necessary to separate from Yingzheng's imperial driving team, and the whole army had not eaten for a day. Now the gates of Ganquan Palace and Yongcheng City have been closed, and they rushed back overnight, and they may not enter the city.
Once he goes back, then the army will inevitably know that he is falsely spreading Yi's will, and it is estimated that he will be arrested with the support of the garrison army for Zhao Ji. And his own private soldiers, if they don't understand this, will definitely fight with the garrison, which will form a mutiny, and it will be difficult for Zhao Ji and Yingzheng not to kill themselves at that time.
Do you want to bring troops back to capture Yingzheng and control Yingzheng? Chang Yu didn't even think about it. In the years in Yongcheng, he knows the combat power of the Yongcheng soldiers best, not to mention that Zhao Ji and Yingzheng are both in Qinian Palace, where there are 200,000 troops, what do you use to argue with Yingzheng?
This situation of not being able to advance and retreat makes Chang Yu very worried.
When you enter the city, you must have an excuse, and you can't give any excuse other than killing Lü Buwei.
Chang Yu stomped his feet, and said with a hideous face: "I can't wait any longer, Benhou is determined to give the order, and the whole army will enter the city and directly attack the Lu Mansion." If there is any obstruction, rush out of the way for me, and the whole city will search for Lü Buwei. Only by killing Lü Buwei will I have a reason to explain to the Queen Mother and the king after dawn that if Lü Buwei does not die, then I will die. ”
Nei Shixi and Ling Qi sighed at the same time, they still came to this point, such a desperate approach, and they didn't leave a way back for themselves at all. Xianyang City is so big, as long as Lu Buwei wants to hide, he can't find it in a night, let alone kill him.
Since Chang Yu has made a decision, they can only do it.
Chang Yu said again: "After entering the city, there will definitely be a conflict with the city guards, everyone try to disperse them, don't do more killing." The city guards mainly listen to the orders of Huayang Palace, they will not listen to me, everyone must also restrain their subordinates, except for the Lu Mansion, the other mansions are only searched, and they must not kill too many people, let alone touch their property. ”
In Chang Yu's imagination, kill some subordinates, and those powerful people will not say anything. But if their property is moved, then this revenge will be difficult to eliminate, and they will definitely seek revenge on themselves in the future. He didn't want to do things to the end, only killed Lu Buwei alone, rolled in the officialdom for a few years, and also understood the truth that if he provoked the anger of the public, he would not live long.
It's a good idea, but the reality is not.
As soon as the army entered the city, there was a conflict with the city guards, and Chang Yu didn't say much to them, and rushed all the way to Lu Mansion with 10,000 garrison guards as the charging arrows. Everywhere they passed, it was a mess, and the city guards couldn't close it at all, so they could only fight with Chang Yu's private soldiers in the alleys.
Not to mention the city guards, even the army of Hangu Pass is not the opponent of the garrison guards. This 10,000-strong garrison guard army is very disciplined and has strong combat qualities, and when Chang Yu said that he would attack Lu Mansion, they rushed straight to Lu Mansion. As for the task of searching elsewhere, leave it to the scattered private soldiers.
In the Chengwei Mansion, Nesteng sat on the main seat, listened to the news from his subordinates, and sighed: "Brother Wei, are we just sitting like this?" Chang Yu has already entered the city, except for the 10,000 guards, his private soldiers are plundering everywhere in Xianyang, where is there such a barbaric army in my Great Qin? ”
Wei Yu shook his head and said: "The news from Gu Yongcheng that the Great King was assassinated before the crown ceremony, so he simply did not fight his injuries and successfully completed the crown ceremony. It is impossible for the king to return to Xianyang immediately, as for what Chang Yu is going to make trouble, naturally the king will clean him up. ”
"I won't let you go out in a big way, it's mainly for your own good. You also know that the city guards have always been under the control of Huayang Palace, and most of them will not listen to your orders. If the expectation is not bad, Mrs. Huayang will definitely let them defend the palace gate, so these soldiers who are willing to listen to your orders cannot be moved lightly. ”
"Whether it is the city guards or the soldiers brought by Chang Yu, they are all the soldiers of my Great Qin, and they are all the army of the Great King. Whichever family has suffered a big loss, it is also my Great Qin's national strength that has been damaged. As for the soldiers in your hands, they should be used on the best occasions when necessary, such as Xianyang Xue Palace, Yihuan Yuan and several other places. ”
Neshi Teng nodded when he heard this, and said, "I have already sent 3,000 people over those two places, and now there are only 2,000 troops in the City Guard Mansion, and the largest number of troops in front of the palace gate is 5,000 people." There are only a small number of people fighting in the streets, and more are the private soldiers of the mansions of the various families, and the private soldiers of Chang Yu want to search the mansions of each family, how can they agree. ”
"Private soldiers against private soldiers, Xianyang is fighting almost everywhere, and if it goes on like this, I, the position that Xianyang is too guarded, is estimated to not be able to do it for long. The nations also sent people to mix in and cause chaos, but I sat in the palace of the city guard and did not come out, so I could not make sense of it. ”
Wei Yu sighed: "You have to endure, the other party's troops are more than ours, and the combat power is stronger than ours, even if you go out, you can't do anything." What I'm worried about now is that if you go out and be assassinated, Xianyang Taishou will die, and the city guards will be leaderless, which will be even more harmful to Xianyang City. ”
"Why am I hiding here? Because those private soldiers of Chang Yu are a group of reckless people. The wealth of the proud building is eye-catching, and I guess they will attack there. Even if Chang Yugui persuaded him, he didn't have time to restrain him, and he still had to find Lu Buwei. There are fewer people in the inns of the nations, why are there fewer people? is sent out to create chaos, how can it let go of the proud building? ”
"Chang Yu is really confused, Lu Buwei has already gone to Changping Jun, and he is not in the city at all. In the current Xianyang City, only the Chengwei Mansion and Yihuan Courtyard are the safest. Yihuan Courtyard is a small place and cannot carry out large-scale army battles, so Dumb Kitchen, Qianqian, Jimo Qingyi, and Jimo Muling all gave up the proud building and went to Yihuanyuan. Even if the gate is breached, they can hide in the underground chamber and hold out until dawn. ”
Nesteng frowned and said: "Give Chang Yu a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to attack my City Guard Mansion, at most send someone here to search." ”
As soon as the words fell, he saw Nei Shi Yan coming alone, looking at his Xiao Suo's appearance, Nei Shi Teng also felt that this colleague was difficult to do.
introduced Wei Yu, and he was not polite, Nei Shi Teng said directly: "Brother, search it yourself, only if you finish searching, I will have a quiet place here." Why is Changxinhou so confused? The idea of attacking Xianyang, there must be outsiders for him, with my understanding of you and Ling Qi, then it is impossible to come up with such a ridiculous strategy, this does not leave any way for himself to retreat. ”
Nei Shiyan looked very tired, picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a few sips, and said: "How can we give Hou Ye such a plan, as far as I know, it is definitely related to Zhao and Wei, and even Guigu is involved." Hou Ye once had a secret meeting with them, but as for what they talked about, no one knows. ”
"This time, Hou Ye doesn't know what is crazy, he is bent on taking Lu Buwei's life, even if he kills Lu Buwei, we will not end well. Who in the world doesn't know that Lü Buwei is the middle father of the king, and he was ordered by the king to guard his house in Xianyang, if Lü Buwei died, what would the king think? What would Empress Dowager Zhao Ji think? ”
"You don't need to search here, with what I know about you, Lu Buwei won't come here to hide at all, and you won't contain him. Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, who doesn't know that you have never stood on the side, except for the king, you don't obey anyone's orders, how can you provoke the anger and make the Changxin Marquis unhappy. ”
Nei Shi Teng nodded and said: "After all, the Marquis of Changxin is the Hou Ye, and he has half of the troops in Yongcheng in his hands, and he also has a good relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. Even if at any time, I will not be offended, but you can't attack my city guard, if I can't even defend my own territory, what will the king and the queen mother think? ”
Neishi said wantonly: "Sending troops into Xianyang, I have already committed a big crime, where do you dare to come here brother." Now Xianyang has become a mess of porridge, and Brother Ling Qi specially asked me to come here to say a word to you, as long as it is not dawn, you must not leave the Chengwei Mansion. ”
"There are many masked men in black in the city, all of them highly skilled, who specialize in killing influential people. Xianyang is already in such a mess, if you die again, no one will be able to clean up the chaos in Xianyang, and there will be no reason for the king and the queen mother not to kill the Hou Ye at that time. ”
It's not just Nei Shi Shi and Ling Qi, but Chang Yu also sees this. Nei Shi Teng is Xianyang Taishou, and he was personally appointed by Ying Zheng, if Nei Shi Teng dies, all the charges will be borne by Chang Yu. moved Nei Shi Teng, he was slapping Ying Zheng's face, so the first object of establishing the monarch's authority must be his concubine.
Chang Yu didn't dare to bear such a charge, and there were many strange people in black who caused chaos, so he naturally sent someone to the City Guard Mansion to explain in detail. It is necessary to make Nesteng understand the reason why Chang Yu led his troops into the city, and the purpose of his doing so.
As for other things, he can only do his best and obey the fate of heaven, after all, Lu Buwei is not so easy to kill.
