Chapter 124
While he was alive, he could only honestly be his son.
At most, he could let him concurrently hold the position of Zhisu Neishi, and work with Xiao He to make money and enrich the Great Qin treasury.
If he thought the official position was too small, then kick out Wang Wan, the Neishi Neishi Zhongcheng, and let Ying Su replace Wang Wan, let him be the Neishi Neishi Zhongcheng!
In charge of Great Qin’s money, grain, and tax affairs!
And not only was Ying Su arranged, but even his one hundred thousand troops, Yu Yu Huatian, and the five thousand garrison troops were all arranged by Ying Zheng!
As for Zhang Liang and Huang Chao...
To be honest, Ying Zheng had a headache about these two!
Reasonably speaking, he couldn't bear to kill these two!
Huang Chao had made huge contributions to filling the national treasury!
Zhang Liang’s strategy was profound, and even he had heard of it.
But... these two had to be killed!
Zhang Liang had assassinated him, and for this point alone, he couldn't survive!
Huang Chao killed too many people while collecting taxes, and not killing him wouldn't be enough to appease the anger of the nobles!
Relying on himself to keep a rebellious son alive was already very difficult, wanting to keep these two was impossible!
Therefore, these two would definitely die!
Ying Zheng was thinking about all this.
Just at this time, suddenly, Zhao Gao ran over in a hurry!
Ying Zheng smiled: "Was Xianyanggong taken?"
Zhao Gao didn't speak, just bowed in extreme terror, holding two reports above his head!
"What is it!"
Ying Zheng’s eyebrows were tightly knit.
But he still took the two reports!
Looking at this, he knew that these two reports were actually front-line battle reports!
One was a normal battle report, and the other was a secret report!
"Secret report?"
Ying Zheng frowned!
But he still opened the battle report and took a look.
"I, Meng Wu, report to the Emperor: Xiang Yu’s forty-thousand-strong army has been quelled, thirty-eight thousand captured, twelve thousand escaped, the rest were all killed. This battle is a great victory!"
After reading this battle report, Ying Zheng was stunned!
And then... wild joy!
At that moment, he almost wanted to jump up in excitement!
Xiang Yu’s forty-thousand-strong army had been quelled!
Thirty-eight thousand captured!
Twelve thousand escaped!
The rest were all killed!
In other words... a total of thirty-five thousand people were killed!
"Great victory!"
"Great victory!"
Ying Zheng was extremely excited.
But... the more he saw him excited, the more Zhao Gao trembled!
At this moment, he was extremely terrified and extremely afraid!
And Ying Zheng, after being excited for a long time, noticed Zhao Gao’s condition!
He was unhappy on the spot and kicked Zhao Gao: "What are you panicking about!"
Zhao Gao didn't speak!
Ying Zheng’s eyebrows twisted even tighter.
Because... every time Zhao Gao was like this, it meant something bad had happened!
Bad thing?
Where could a bad thing come from?
Wang Wang Jian failed to attack Xianyanggong, and the rebellious son wasn't captured?
How could that be!
Without Li Li Yuanba, Ying Su only had five thousand men!
Five thousand men resisting one hundred and fifty thousand troops?
Are you kidding?
Isn't this kidding?
He didn't believe it at all!
This battle was a sure win!
But what other bad thing could there be?
Could it be... the problem was in the secret report?
Ying Zheng frowned and looked at the secret report in his hand!
He really couldn't understand what bad thing could happen on Meng Wu’s side!
Could it be... Meng Wu had killed Li Li Yuanba?
Or, Li Li Yuanba was killing people indiscriminately, killing Meng Wu’s army?
Ying Zheng’s heart tightened, and he quickly opened the secret report!
And the moment he opened the secret report, he panicked!
That battle report only had a few words!
But the secret report was densely packed!
Three full sheets of linen paper!
But Ying Zheng still finished reading it!
And after reading this secret report, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp!
Because... the secret report said a lot, such as how ferocious Xiang Yu was, and how he broke out of layer after layer of encirclement.
All of this shocked Ying Zheng!
He was shocked that Xiang Yan’s descendant could be so ferocious!
Relying only on himself, he broke Meng Wu, Meng Tian, and Wang Ben’s armies one after another!
And killed his way in and out of these armies!
But... Xiang Yu’s ferocity was not worth mentioning compared to Li Li Yuanba!
Because... the secret report from Meng Wu said so.
Li Li Yuanba smashed to death over thirty thousand people alone!
"Over thirty thousand people..."
Ying Zheng looked at the secret report, his heart cold with fear at that moment!
He found it hard to imagine how Li Li Yuanba could smash over thirty thousand people to death alone!
But... he had seen the scene of an army of over thirty thousand people!
Back then, when he sent Li Xin on an expedition, he gave him thirty thousand men!
Thirty thousand people... they almost burst the entire Xianyanggong!
Densely packed, standing on the high platform, he couldn't see the end.
But... so many people were just smashed to death by Li Li Yuanba!
"This person is truly terrifying, scary!"
Ying Zheng was panicked to the extreme!
But soon, he realized a problem!
"Li Li Yuanba, has he returned?"
He asked in a panic, and quickly looked at the date on the battle report!
Twenty-one!
Today is the twenty-third!
He made a simple calculation and felt it was very dangerous!
Although he also knew it would take at least three days to return by riding the fastest horse!
But... he was just panicked!
What if!
What if Li Li Yuanba returned?
Xianyang City only had one hundred and fifty thousand troops. Based on his record of killing over thirty thousand people, one hundred and fifty thousand troops wouldn't even be enough for him to fill his teeth!
"What about Wang Wang Jian?"
"Did he take Xianyanggong?"
"Did he capture the rebellious son?"
Ying Zheng was very panicked!
And just at this time, suddenly, a eunuch reported in a hurry:
"Report to the Emperor, Wang Wang Jian has retreated!"
078. Li Li Cunxiao on the left, Li Li Yuanba on the right! Father, do you want to rebel!
"What?"
"Wang Wang Jian has retreated?"
"Was Xianyanggong taken?"
At that moment, Ying Zheng’s eyes lit up, followed by a look of wild joy!
Yes!
Wang Wang Jian was Wang Wang Jian after all!
Xianyanggong was finally taken by him!
Ying Su, oh Ying Su, you thought you were invincible because you had Li Li Yuanba?
Weren't you still captured alive?
As long as Ying Su was captured, it would be fine!
Even if the Yin-Yang School couldn't stop Li Li Yuanba, even if Li Li Yuanba could return tomorrow, he wouldn't fear him anymore.
Yes!
No one in this world could do anything to Li Li Yuanba, but... wasn't it simple to deal with you, Ying Su?
Ying Zheng was wild with joy and very proud.
But in the blink of an eye, he sensed something was wrong; since Wang Wang Jian had already conquered Xianyanggong, why not simply station himself there?
Or, why didn't he capture the rebellious son and bring him over?
He was puzzled in his heart.
But soon he figured it out!
An old fox is an old fox after all!
He didn't station himself in Xianyanggong, probably because he didn't want the army to stain the imperial city!
He didn't bring Ying Su over, probably because he was wary of his status as an imperial prince!
Hahahaha!
Cautious!
Afraid of losing etiquette.
This was the same logic as when he helped him quell Lao Ai back then!
After finishing Lao Ai, the first thing he did when he saw him wasn't to ask for credit, but to plead guilty!
Plead guilty for mobilizing troops without authorization!
Hehehehe...
Old thing!
Ying Zheng laughed happily. At that moment, he didn't delay and shouted directly: "Zhao Gao, prepare the carriage! Return to the palace!"
He shouted.
At this moment, he couldn't wait!
Looking at this broken place, he wanted to laugh even more!
Yes!
Emperor!
An emperor should live in the imperial palace, what’s the point of staying in this place every day?
Ying Zheng laughed extremely happily.
However, Zhao Gao didn't move.
At this moment, he was trembling even more violently!
Even the eunuch who came to report was also trembling!
"Bold, what do you mean!"
Ying Zheng was furious!
The eunuch reported tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the person responsible for monitoring the battle situation reported that the gates of Xianyanggong are closed, Wang Wang Jian... Wang Wang Jian did not take Xianyanggong!"
"What?"
Once these words were spoken, Ying Zheng was furious!
He kicked the eunuch fiercely: "Fart!"
"Li Li Yuanba is not there, Xianyanggong only has five thousand people. Under these circumstances, let alone one person, even a pig leading one hundred and fifty thousand troops would have taken Xianyanggong. Wang Wang Jian couldn't take it?"
Ying Zheng was furious. At this moment, he grabbed the eunuch by the collar and slapped him twice!
The eunuch was scared and trembling, but... didn't dare to speak!
But Ying Zheng was still angry. He was annoyed by this eunuch, and finally shouted: "Zhao Gao, you go, you go personally to investigate and see what’s going on!"
He was boundless in his rage!
Zhao Gao got up in a panic and kowtowed to Ying Zheng: "The servant will go!"
He shouted and ran away quickly!
Yes!
He could finally leave this place.
Even though he had followed Ying Zheng for a long time and was the person closest and most trusted by Ying Zheng, at this moment, he also felt a lot of pressure!
The First Emperor was in a bad mood, and when he got angry, who wouldn't be afraid?
At this moment, if you didn't want to suffer, it was best to stay far away from the First Emperor!
He ran away quickly.
However, he hadn't even walked out of the courtyard for long, and hadn't even entered Xianyang City yet.
Suddenly, he saw an army leaving the city!
"Old General!"
"Old General!"
In this crowd, he saw Wang Wang Jian at a glance!
Besides him, there were Meng Yi and Zhang Han!
"Old General!"
He shouted again!
Finally, he caught up with Wang Wang Jian!
And seeing Zhao Gao, Wang Wang Jian was a bit confused and even more panicked, bowing to Zhao Gao: "Lord Prefect!"
Meng Yi and Zhang Han also bowed to Zhao Gao: "Lord Prefect!"
Zhao Gao was scared, quickly helped Wang Wang Jian up, and then bowed to him: "Old General, you are..."
He was shocked, trembling, and didn't dare to ask!
And Wang Wang Jian lowered his head, his face flushed, and he also didn't dare to say.
Finally, it was Meng Yi who said the truth: "The attack on Xianyanggong failed!"
