Chapter 171
He was truly furious!
And what made him furious was not merely that!
What angered him most were actually those few incidents before!
The Xiongnu breached the Great Wall!
The Baiyue tribes attacked Nanling!
And thirty thousand peasant soldiers appeared in the Huashan region outside Xianyanggong!
Plus the five thousand troops from Tuguan causing trouble!
Originally, he had delegated power hoping the rebellious son would come begging to him.
After all, the rebellious son's assets were nothing more than Han Xin's hundred thousand troops and Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao!
At most, adding the five thousand garrison troops of Xianyanggong!
Send Li Yuanba to destroy the Xiongnu?
Fine!
No problem!
Send Han Xin's hundred thousand troops to quell the peasant rebellion?
Also no problem!
What about the five thousand troops from Tuguan?
How will you handle it?
Send Li Cunxiao over?
Hehe, what about Xianyanggong?
It's empty now, isn't it!
Can those five thousand garrison troops hold off an attack by a hundred thousand soldiers?
Don't be ridiculous!
Without Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba!
Meng Wu and Zhang Han, leading a hundred thousand men, could absolutely capture Xianyanggong!
You won't send them?
Then let the five thousand troops from Tuguan harass the border passes; see if the border people curse you, the new emperor!
In short, as long as Ying Su wants to resolve all these matters perfectly, he must come begging to me.
Without my help, he simply cannot resolve them!
I have no other intentions; as long as he begs, I will immediately set conditions. Even if I cannot reclaim the throne, surely he can transfer Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba over to protect me?
What?
Still not allowed?
If not, then I won't care!
Wait until Meng Wu's army returns; let's see how you, Ying Su, defend Xianyanggong with only five thousand garrison troops!
Ying Zheng's calculations clicked loudly!
But... how many days have passed!
Several days have gone by, yet the rebellious son shows no sign of coming to beg him!
He repeatedly sent Zhao Gao to gather intelligence, but Zhao Gao could not uncover a single piece of news!
Every time the result was that Ying Su had not left the palace!
He hasn't left the palace?
How can he not leave the palace?
Ying Zheng was furious, but fortunately, news arrived not long after!
Ying Su had sent Li Yuanba to destroy the Xiongnu.
Sent to destroy the Xiongnu?
Then he must come begging to me now!
But... still nothing!
Not only did he not come to beg, but on the contrary, I received another piece of news!
Yu Yu Huatian took grain to the Huashan area!
"Took grain over there?"
"What does he intend to do?"
Ying Zheng was stunned into numbness!
And just one day later, he received news again!
Of those three hundred thousand, one hundred thousand elderly, young, sick, and disabled left the ranks on their own and went home to farm!
The remaining two hundred thousand were stationed outside the suburbs of Xianyang City!
"Two hundred thousand people, stationed outside the suburbs of Xianyang City?"
Ying Zheng was stunned again!
And just one day later, he heard news that Ying Su had personally gone to meet the two hundred thousand peasant soldiers!
"The rebellious son personally went to meet those peasant soldiers?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Ying Zheng was shocked!
At this very moment, how could he still not understand what this meant?
Those two hundred thousand peasant soldiers had been brought under the rebellious son's control!
These two hundred thousand peasant soldiers would, from now on, become the rebellious son's most capable assistants!
As expected!
The moment this speculation arose, he heard the deafening shouts of those twenty thousand men and the countless commoners within Xianyang City!
"The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"
"The new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"
"From now on, the Emperor's safety is entirely our responsibility!"
"Whoever dares to harm a single hair on the new Emperor's head, we will fight to the death!"
The deafening shouts echoed through the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, it caused Seeing Ying Zheng to stomp his feet repeatedly, his hands and feet growing cold time and again:
"Rebellious son!"
"Rebellious son!"
He was immensely furious.
He nearly fainted!
But at the same time, he also recognized a reality!
Facing Ying Su's strength had grown stronger again!
Now, he not only possessed two peerless, invincible warriors: Li Cunxiao and Li Yuanba.
At the same time, he also possessed Han Xin's hundred thousand troops and the current two hundred thousand new recruits!
Even the people's hearts had all turned to him!
"Rebellious son!"
"Rebellious son!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's liver trembled time and again.
But at the same time, he could not help but ponder how exactly he should reclaim the throne!
Facing Ying Su's power was now too great; even he found it difficult to cope.
He could not even deal with just Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao alone, let alone with so many armies?
He fell into despair time and again, but at this critical moment, Zhao Gao offered him a plan: "Why not order Zhao Tuo to abandon Lingnan?"
"Abandon Lingnan?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Seeing Ying Zheng was shocked!
Zhao Gao said, "Abandon Lingnan, allow the Hundred Yue army to march in, pressure the Sixth Young Master, and force the Sixth Young Master to dispatch both Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao simultaneously!"
"How dare you!"
Seeing Ying Zheng erupted in rage!
