Chapter 726 Blood Vine
Outside Xingyang City, the coalition army camp.
"What did you say?"
"Kunyang's army attacked Nanyang, but before they reached the halfway point, they were defeated by Han Xin, the defender of Yangcheng. Five thousand of their horses were wiped out, and the rest surrendered."
At this time, people from Wei, Chu and Zhao gathered in the coalition camp. Everyone was terrified after hearing the news from the spies.
"That woman Tian Yan is so incompetent!"
"These grass bandits can't succeed."
…
Everyone turned the fear in their hearts into anger and vented it wantonly.
"Everyone, please be patient."
Fan Zeng waved his hand and said.
At this time, everyone in the tent was well versed in military matters and understood that this was probably not just incompetence.
Fan Zeng glanced at Xiang Shaoyu who was sitting on the commander's seat, and then looked around the tent.
"With a force of three thousand, you can defeat an army of fifty thousand. Do you know who this Han Xin is?"
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
All the princes conducted detailed investigations on Zhao Shuang and the civil servants and generals under his command, and collected all kinds of intelligence.
Han Xin is a strange opponent.
"We only knew that Han Xin was a Jincheng rider. He had not shown much prominence for so many years, but we didn't expect that he could be so powerful."
Zhang Er said. Although his intelligence organization is very strong, the information about Han Xin is similar to what others know.
Fan Zeng nodded and looked at Xiang Shaoyu again, feeling a little uneasy.
Now that Zhao Shuang has 50,000 more surrendered troops, it is hard to say how the situation will change.
"General, taking advantage of the current chaos in Guanzhong, we must immediately send troops to capture Xingyang."
The situation in the world is becoming more and more complicated at this time, and chaos is happening everywhere. The most important thing is for them to cut through the chaos quickly and seize Aocang, the center of the world's water transportation.
Only by capturing Aocang can it be more convenient to maintain military operations of hundreds of thousands of troops.
"But there were changes in Guanzhong a few days ago. In the name of the Emperor, the Second Emperor called on the old ministers of the empire to kill Zhao Shuang. However, no one responded to the Qing emperor. The armies across the empire remained motionless."
Zhang Er shook his head, somewhat hesitant about the timing of sending troops.
"The Second Emperor is the Emperor after all. The imperial army may seem calm at the moment, but secretly people must be impetuous. This is a great time for us to march. Otherwise, when Zhao Shuang slows down, we will surely fall into passivity."
Fan Zeng's eyes were sharp and wise, and he saw the deepest movements within the empire.
Zhao Shuang was able to conquer all parts of the empire so quickly simply because he carried the name of the Emperor and was able to appease the old officials of the empire. Fan Zeng also believed that as long as Zhao Shuang was given time, he could calm the storm.
Therefore, time is in Zhao Shuang's favor but not theirs. Only by sending troops as soon as possible can the situation be reversed earlier.
"I have already sent out the letter of challenge!"
Xiang Shaoyu spoke with a sense of fanaticism.
"Let me experience the power of the person who is now the number one in the world's military."
But not long after saying this, there was another urgent call from outside the tent.
The spies of the Shadow Tiger Legion, on Ji Bu's orders, relayed military reports from afar, their voices filled with incomparable urgency.
"General, Tian Yan has rebelled!"
At the sound of these words, the people in the tent who had been calm once again started making noises.
"Zhao Shuang took Han Xin as his general and led 50,000 troops out of Nanyang and captured Shangcai. With the help of Tian Yan, he quickly occupied a large area of land in the west of Chen County."
Fan Zeng was anxious. You must know that as a result, the imperial army occupied the upper and lower reaches of Yingshui River and Rushui River. The Huben army stationed in Yangdi can be said to have wings like a tiger and is no longer restrained.
"What's the military situation of Han Xin and Li Zuoche, but they went to Chen County?"
"General Ji Bu said that after Han Xin captured Shangcai, he led his army south and did not go to the Shadow Tiger Army's headquarters."
Fan Zeng felt relieved, but then a wave of worry came back again. Han Xin did not attack Chen County and cut off the logistics of the princes, but chose to go south, apparently to rescue Nanchu first.
The young master of the Xiang family snorted coldly.
"Separating the near for the distant, it seems that the Prime Minister of Qin does not take us seriously!"
When Xiang Shaoyu said something, everyone in the tent fell silent, so quiet that there was no sound.
…
Guanzhong.
"Didn't you tell me it was foolproof?"
Hu Hai looked at the sun and cursed.
After being imprisoned for several years, Hu Hai felt extremely resentful.
Hu Hai was very happy when Luo Wang contacted him. I thought this was an opportunity, but now I'm in trouble.
Hu Hai originally thought that by virtue of his reputation as the emperor, he could easily call on the old officials of the empire to retake Guanzhong while Zhao Shuang was away.
But now, they are surrounded by heavy soldiers and horses, and cannot enter or exit.
Zhanri was scolded, but he had no idea in his heart. Not long ago, Luo Wang's support outside was cut off. Now he had no eyes and ears, and he couldn't figure out what was going on outside.
"What's going on outside?"
While hiding in deep thought, Hu Hai suddenly felt something was wrong and asked outside.
Zhan Ri was seriously injured in the battle with Zhao Erbao and Tian Ming. Now he came to his senses after listening to Hu Hai's words, but felt noisy outside the temporary residence.
Three or two chamberlains ran in from outside the house, panicking.
"Your Majesty, the Mo family's thieves have come in."
Hu Hai grabbed one of the servants and asked.
"What, how many people are there?"
"There are thousands of people, all dressed as Mo Xia, and our people can't stop them at all."
"How come there are thousands of Moxia?"
After hearing the news, Hu Hai loosened his hands, looked at Zhenri, and took a few steps towards him.
Seeing Hu Hai approaching, he covered the sun and lowered his head.
"His Majesty!"
With a pop, a dagger stabbed into Zhi Ri's body. Zhanri raised his head and saw a cruel smile on Hu Hai's face.
"I was just hijacked by Zhao Gao's remnant party and couldn't help myself. Both I and you hate Zhao Shuang, so you should keep me here so that you can take revenge on Zhao Shuang in the future. Are you right, Lord Zhanri?"
Zhanri let out a chuckle, with a cold smile on his face.
"Then does your Majesty know how to take revenge on Zhao Shuang at this time?"
Zhidian's vitals were attacked, and his life force continued to drain away, but his face was cold and cold.
Mutated disciples.
The blood that was naturally dripping was controlled, like vines, flowing towards Hu Hai from the arm of Zhenri.
A cloud of blood mist exploded, and the figure covering the sun became weaker and weaker, but the blood vines wrapped around Hu Hai became more and more urgent.
"If His Majesty dies, the empire will be in chaos. This is the greatest revenge on Zhao Shuang."
"You bastard!"
Cold laughter and sounds of pain intertwined in the room, and the blood vines became more and more prosperous, while Zhan Sun's body was like flesh, limp to the ground, and turned into nourishment.
A bloody flower bloomed in the house.
As the bloody flower became more and more vivid, all life in the room lost its vitality.
When Mo Xia outside arrived, everything fell into silence.
…
