Looking at Han Teng, who was half-leaning on the throne, Feng Bo and Yu Shi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help frowning, showing the displeasure in their hearts.

Since the occupation of Xianyang, Han Teng seems to have developed an inexplicable infatuation with the throne, whether it is dealing with official affairs or discussing things, Han Teng likes to sit on the throne and conduct it in the main hall of the palace. Since he killed all the children of Qin Wangzheng, this kind of situation is even more obvious. Sometimes, even if there was nothing to do, Han Teng would still sit on the throne and refuse to leave until late.

In fact, in the imperial courts of various countries, only when dealing with heavy government affairs, or heavy dà ceremonies, will be held in the main hall of the royal palace, and general government affairs are often handled in the side halls, the study, and sometimes confidential matters are often decided by the monarch and a few confidants in private. And Han Teng's current cousin is like a naughty child, after a long time of waiting, he got the toy he has been looking forward to for a long time, so he will hold the toy in his hand all the time, reluctant to let go.

Seeing Feng Bo and Yu Shi entering the main hall, Han Teng just straightened up on the throne and didn't get up, and said, "The two great elders came to me, is there anything wrong?" Has Jiuding had any results? ”

It turned out that after Han Teng occupied Xianyang, Feng Bo and Yushi immediately rushed to Xianyang and asked Han Teng to hand over the Jiuding treasured in the Qin Palace Temple to the two for research. Han Teng had no objection to this, and simply ordered that the Qingong Sect Temple be directly assigned to the two of them to live in, so that the two could study the secrets of Jiuding to their heart's content.

In fact, in the Zongmiao of the Qin State, there are actually only eight big tripods, but after Fengbo and Yushi lived in the Zongmiao, they have been going for nearly a month, studying Jiuding almost every day, and ignoring the affairs of Xianyang.

After listening to Han Teng's words, Feng Bo said: "We came to you today not to discuss the matter of Jiuding, but to have another important matter. ”

Han Teng said with a smile: "What kind of big deal is it that can actually make the two Great Elders let go of the secret of studying Jiuding?" ”

Feng Bo snorted and said, "The people and horses of the plateau have reached Duyou, and the troops he leads have reached more than 100,000. ”

After Han Teng heard this, his figure suddenly straightened, and he sat up straight, and his eyes, which were still a little careless, shot out a sharp light.

Duyou is a small county less than 20 miles northwest of Xianyang, which is equivalent to a satellite city of Xianyang, so the Han and Qin coalition forces have reached Duyou, and they have reached the edge of Xianyang City, which can almost be regarded as a soldier coming to the city. What's more, the plateau also brought an army of 100,000.

It turned out that after Gao Yuan and Hehua surrendered Cheng Yuan in Pingdu, they did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts, but openly discussed in the name of Hehua, directly accusing Han Teng of betraying the Qin State and murdering Qin Wangzheng, and played the banner of conquering Han Teng, recovering Xianyang, and avenging Qin Wangzheng, and recruited local officials from all over the Qin State, and the garrison took refuge under the banner of Hehua. The Han state, on the other hand, participated in this war as a state of marriage with the Qin state.

He Hua already had a strong influence in the hearts of the Qin people, and with important ministers like Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Xin Sheng, and Feng Zheng around him, he naturally had more power than Han Teng. And Cheng Yuan's surrender to Hehua also set an example for other local officials and garrisons of the Qin State, so many local officials and garrisons joined in wherever the Han-Qin coalition army went, expressing their allegiance to Hehua.

For these officials who took refuge in Hehua, the army, Gao Yuan and Hehua were comforted with good words, and Gao Yuan also repeatedly assured the officials of the Qin State that this time he led the Han army into the Qin State, and by no means to annex the Qin State, or seize the territory of the Qin State, as long as it was enough to get the land promised by the Qin Wangzheng to the Han State, it was only out of the convenience of marriage that the Qin State sent troops to the Qin State, as long as Han Teng was defeated, he would select virtuous and benevolent people from the clan of the Qin State to succeed the King of Qin, and then the Han and Qin countries formed an alliance, Eternal friendship and so on.

Gao Yuan's statement made some officials of the Qin State feel a lot more at ease, because many officials of the Qin State did have such worries, fearing that the Han State would take the opportunity to annex the Qin State, and such a thing was not a minority in this era. Therefore, Gao Yuan's statement dispelled the doubts of many people and won the hearts of many people for Hehua.

In fact, Gao Yuan and Hehua both know in their hearts that this statement is actually just saying that, if Gao Yuan can really completely control the situation of Qin State, of course, it is impossible to give up Qin State again, and when the time comes, you can fool the past by thinking of any way.

And this is completely understandable by Hehua, after all, half of Hehua's consciousness is modern people, and in today's society, everyone knows that the promises of the political family are like farts, and they are basically worthless. However, in this era, there is still a lot of market for this set, and it can fool people.

Although there were some local officials of the Qin State out of caution, or still wanted to wait and see, and did not immediately defect to Hehua, but some people sent envoys to express their allegiance to Hehua verbally, and some people sent some grain and grass materials to express limited support for Hehua, and where the Han army passed, the local officials along the way also let it go all the way, so the army arrived at Duyou very smoothly and approached Xianyang, and a total of about 80,000 Qin troops gathered along the way, plus the Han and Qin troops brought by the plateau and Hehua, In total, more than 100,000 horses.

Although the Qin troops recruited on the road were all the troops of the second and third lines of the Qin State, only the thousands of people led by Cheng Yuan were considered elite, after all, they were troops stationed on the border, and the others were garrisons in the interior. However, after all, the Qin State is a country with a strong army and martial arts, so even if it is a second- or third-tier army, it also has a considerable amount of military quality and combat effectiveness, which is not unbearable. Moreover, the plateau also brought 6,000 Qin troops this time, and there were Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Xin Sheng, Feng Ji and others to help, on the way to the march, these Qin troops were reorganized, and when they arrived in Duyou County, the whole army was neatly lineed, and the army was mighty, and it seemed that it was by no means a rabble.

However, although the number of troops increased, the speed of the march was greatly reduced, and of course it did not achieve the effect of a surprise attack. Therefore, after Gao Yuan and Hehua officially raised the banner of conquering Han Teng, the news soon spread to Xianyang, and caused a great shock in Xianyang City.

Although Han Teng can't control the entire Qin State, his control over Xianyang is quite strict, and although Qin Wangzheng has taken away many ministers, there are still many Qin clans in Xianyang, and the power of the clan in Qin is very restrictive, but after all, the clan is different from ordinary people, and there is still a lot of power. After Han Teng occupied Xianyang, these clans of the Qin State were naturally dissatisfied and launched several resistances, but all of them were suppressed by Han Tengping without exception, and Han Teng also used his body to open the knife to the clans of the Qin State, killing a total of more than 20,000 people.

For a period of time, a large number of people will be killed by the Wei River every day, and the water of the Wei River will be dyed red, this is still after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the water of the Wei River was stained red with blood again, and this time almost all the Qin clans in Xianyang City were killed. Even if there were still a few fish that slipped through the net, they were also shocked by Han Teng's killing poke, and although they were still unconvinced, they had to endure it for the time being.

And after learning about the call from Gao Yuan and Hehua, these people began to move again, they may not really want to take refuge in Hehua, but they feel that their opportunity has finally come, if Han Teng and Gao Yuan and Hehua can fight to lose both, it will naturally be better.

On the one hand, the two of them were shocked by the boldness and innovation of the plateau, and they would even think of a surprise attack on the Qin State from the north, and after entering the Qin State, they actually made no secret of it, and brazenly used the name of Hehua to raise the banner of crusading against Han Teng and recruiting the Qin people, which was even more unexpected.

However, the news of the march of the Han and Qin coalition forces continued to reach Xianyang, and it was learned that the Qin army in many places had defected to Hehua's banner, and Fengbo and Yushi were also a little unable to sit still.

In fact, it is not difficult to deal with the actions of Plateau and Hehua, because the actions of Plateau and Hehua are nothing more than borrowing the identity of Hehua as the princess of Qin and occupying the high point of righteousness, so as long as a new King of Qin is established in Xianyang, he can compete with Plateau and Hehua for the name of righteousness, after all, Han Teng is not without advantages in this regard.

First of all, Han Teng himself was the minister of the Qin State, and he controlled Xianyang City. Although Hehua's call is strong, after all, he is only a daughter and cannot succeed the king of Qin, and although the plateau is in the name of the country of in-laws, it is still a foreign country, so as long as a new Qin king can be established, you can use the name of the new Qin king to recruit Qin people, resist the plateau, and even accuse Hehua of colluding with foreign countries, invading Qin and so on.

But the problem is that there is simply no one who can succeed King Qin now.

Although Han Teng can decide who will be the new King of Qin, the new King of Qin is not something that can be done by a cat or a dog, and the closer he is to Qin Wangzheng in blood, the better, because only such a person can convince the public and compete with Hehua for the name of righteousness, Qin Wangzheng's son is naturally the best candidate, and the clan of the close branch is not strong enough to meet the standard. But now all the daughters of Qin Wangzheng have been killed by Han Teng, and the Qin clan in Xianyang has also been almost killed, so there is no one who can succeed King Qin.

If you find a random person, or choose a person from the distant branch of the clan to be the king of Qin, it is useless, because such a person not only cannot convince the public, but also cannot compete with Hehua in the name of righteousness, so Han Teng's side can only watch the position of the name of righteousness completely occupied by the plateau and Hehua, but there is nothing to be done.
