Chapter 685 Protector’s Mansion

Zhao Gaofu.

Although Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he was not as good as other princes. He had his own subordinates and relied on Zhao Gao for everything.

Zhao Gao succeeded Lang Zhongling, one of the Nine Qings, and took control of Xianyang's military power. At the same time, he also served as the chief minister and handled the government affairs. He had great power.

After recruiting 50,000 talented soldiers and dealing with all the old soldiers in Guanzhong, Zhao Gao had taken control of Xianyang.

In this Guanzhong where there is no order and rules anymore, the power of the net has expanded to the extreme.

Zhao Gao now only has one big enemy left in front of him.

Zhao Shuang!

"Counting the days, Zhang Han should also meet Zhao Shuang."

"He should have seen it long ago."

After Zhao Gao gained power, all his relatives were awarded titles, and Zhao Gao's younger brother Zhao Cheng was also awarded a title.

"Brother, will Zhang Han collude with Zhao Shuang?"

"If they collude together, then it will be more justifiable for us to attack Zhao Shuang's fiefdom. Now that the empire's finances are insufficient, Zhao Shuang's fiefdom is also a piece of fat!"

Zhao Gao smiled slightly, removing Zhao Shuang's fiefdom in Nanzheng and further controlling that business road, then Luo Wang's strength will inevitably become stronger, and Zhao Shuang will be in a desperate situation.

"What if Zhao Shuang jumps over the wall in a hurry?"

"Xiaoguan, Sanguan, and even Wuguan and Hangu have all been replaced by our people, and spies in the net are also widely deployed along his way of advance. Once he makes any changes, he will immediately block the passes. When the time comes, he will How long can it last?"

Zhao Gao didn't care that Zhao Shuang would actually use troops, because the power structure that had lasted from a long time ago to the present meant that Zhao Shuang would not be able to threaten Guanzhong.

Because every year, a large portion of grain and grass is transferred from Guanzhong to the Anxi Army, and the end of that business road is also in Guanzhong.

As for the land of Bashu, there are a large number of imperial troops. The road from Nanzheng to Guanzhong is steep and has dangerous passes.

As long as the pass is blocked and the food and grass are held, Zhao Shuang will not be able to hold on for long.

"Once Zhang Han sends the decree to Zhao Shuang, if Zhao Shuang disobeys the decree, he will immediately attack Nanzheng. If he obeys the decree..."

Zhao Cheng shook his head and seemed not optimistic.

"Will Zhao Shuang come to Guanzhong?"

"Even if he comes, what's the point of being afraid of being alone? At the opposite time, even if he has an unrivaled level of cultivation, he still can't escape the dragnet."

Zhao Gaozhi was so proud that his scarlet nails curled slightly.

"What do the Yin Yang Family and the Gong Loser Family say?"

"Gongshu Qiu and Dong Jun and Yueshen of the Yin Yang family have promised us to deal with Zhao Shuang. At this time, Luo Wang and his family are searching for the Mohist disciples in Guanzhong. If they catch them, they will be killed."

"Although the Mohist family's power is not strong in Guanzhong, it cannot be underestimated outside Guanzhong. Forget it, let's get rid of Zhao Shuang's wings in the empire first, and then plan for it slowly!"

…

When Zhang Han saw Zhao Shuang, he was barbecuing meat in front of the oven.

Zhang Han and a group of shadow secret guards had already arrived here, but Zhao Shuang had not seen them since he was sick.

But now Zhao Shuang still looks a little sick. Looking at his appearance, he looks better than the average young man.

Under the setting sun, Zhao Shuang was surrounded by several children, and a woman with strange clothes, a high nose and deep eyes, and long golden hair.

Seeing Zhang Han coming, Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and the woman left with several children.

There was only one girl left beside Zhao Shuang. It seemed that she was not a first-rate servant.

"Xiao Li, give Master Zhang Han a plate."

Looking at the plate with barbecued meat placed in front of him, Zhang Han really couldn't eat it.

"Jun Hanyang, by your Majesty's order, I would like to invite Lord Hanyang to go to Guanzhong."

"Since it is His Majesty's order, I must go."

Zhao Shuang took a bite of the meat with a nonchalant look, as if he didn't know what to expect in Guanzhong.

Zhang Han wanted to remind him a few words, but in the end he closed his mouth and said nothing.

"But I still have a problem now. I hope General Zhang Han can help."

"Master Hanyang, please speak."

"I want to establish a Protectorate in the Western Region and manage the countries in the Western Region. But there are still a few thorns in the Western Region that need to be dealt with. If I go to Guanzhong at this time, there will be no generals in the army. I wonder if General Zhang Han can accompany me?"

Zhang Han was shocked, Zhao Shuang still has this thought?

"I am going out on orders, this..."

"It's okay! Your Majesty will definitely understand."

Zhao Shuang stood up and supported Zhang Han with his hands.

"I and the general, three thousand barbarian cavalry and a thousand regular soldiers, are going to help me level the chariot division."

Zhao Shuang said and waved his hand. The signal shone in the sky, and in this moment, behind Zhang Han, a large number of horsemen wandered towards here.

Behind these barbarian cavalry were a thousand heavily armored soldiers.

Zhang Han could see that these soldiers were elite divisions.

"In addition, the Shadow Guards have also gathered around you and been incorporated into the army to protect you personally."

Zhang Han was shocked. What Zhao Shuang did was completely transgression!

You must know that the Shadow Guards are the emperor's personal guards, and no one can deal with them except the emperor.

But now, what does Zhao Shuang want to do?

Zhang Han was angry and frightened in his heart, but he couldn't get angry for the time being.

"What if I don't obey my orders?"

Zhao Shuang took a bite of the meat and smiled on his face.

"I have already said that if the general cannot do this for me, then I will not be able to travel east. What do you think, general?"

Zhang Han took a deep breath, and the person in front of him was still the same as before.

Zhao Shuang didn't give Zhang Han time to refuse, and turned around and left.

The sun shines down, shining on this grassland.

The afterglow of the setting sun separated Zhao Shuang and Zhang Han. Such a scene reminded Zhang Han of the dock outside Xianyang decades ago, when he stood alone in front of Zhao's three thousand fine cavalry.

Now, Zhang Han has thousands of riders behind him, but Zhao Shuang seems to be alone.

But the difference is that at that time, Zhang Han had dreams and passion in his heart, and was striving for the eternal cause of the empire. But now, what Hu Hai and Zhao Gao had done had made his heart cold.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to enter the pass alone?"

Zhao Shuang turned around with a relaxed expression, but his words could not be forgotten by Zhang Han.

"Why not?"

The short sentence revealed, but the heat in Zhang Han's heart surged out again.

"I obey!"

…

On the mountain peak at the edge of the pasture, Wei Zhuang's eagle-like eyes showed brilliance as he watched a group of horsemen cruising below and their heavy armor setting off.

Since the empire experienced chaos, Wei Zhuang has quietly arrived at Zhao Shuang's fiefdom.

This is the first time in so many years that Wei Zhuang has come to Zhao Shuang's territory.

"You make soldiers like your arms, and you control your beasts like dogs and mastiffs. You are strong and fierce, and they are all your minions. It seems that you have not been wasting your time in these years!"
