Section 99: The Alliance Under the City
Entering Xianyang - from Afang Palace to Xianyang City, you only need to cross the Wei River to arrive. When Fu Ge was at the city at noon on April 26, Zhao Gao, who had no choice but to send Yan Le out of the city to negotiate.
Outside Xianyang City, on Ba Bridge.
The powerful Fu Ge army was like a black curtain. Under the refraction of the sun, the sharp edges of weapons were shining with light. Compared with such a mighty and majestic army, the Qin soldiers guarding Xianyang city walls all shrank their necks, all of them looked listless.
At the gate of the city, Yan Le glanced at the soldiers under his command, and was even more desperate.
"Come on, open the city gate!"
Yan Le was naturally unhappy about this mission. With the enemy's troops approaching, no one was willing to be this unlucky peace talksman. Negotiation requires capital, but now the capital is really limited. If the other party gets angry, his life may not be saved. Thinking of the few concubines hidden in Beppu, Yan Le couldn't help feeling desolate.
Who should I blame? Who said that the soldiers I trained were all pussy, who said that they were stealing a fishy fish and were caught by a tigress lady.
However, the limited resources for negotiation are limited, and Yan Le still has two cards in his hand.
Thinking of this, his confidence was enough.
"Come here, serve the sword and halberd formation!" The soldiers on both sides lined up in a straight line, leaving a corridor in the middle that only one person barely passed through. With a slight trembling, they might be stabbed by the sharp soldiers. Faced with such a murderous formation, even Yan Le, who is usually called "King of Hell", could not help but tremble his legs.
After finally completing this journey of more than 200 steps, Yan Le was already sweating profusely. His mind was completely lost when the professor Zhao Gao said before leaving.
"Mr. Xianyang, tell me what you are going to do!"
Yan Le, who was only concerned about wiping away the cold sweat from his forehead, suddenly had a cold voice. When he looked up, he saw a white-faced captain wearing a black captain's armor and a captain staring at him with a pair of sharp eyes.
"Who are you? I--, I want to talk to General Fu Gefu!" Yan Le stuttered. The young man in front of him was just a small captain. He was too young and had a low title, which was far from what Yan Le thought of as the man who led a large army. But somehow, when facing this person, Yan Le's chest seemed to be pressing against a big stone, which made him even speech unfair.
"Haha---, are you sure you want to find Fu Ge?" The young captain got off the horse and laughed unscrupulously. Then, the soldiers on both sides also burst into laughter.
Yan Le stood there stupidly, with a smile on his face. He didn't know why these people were laughing. Could it be that he was weird about his appearance or——.
"Mr. Xianyang, tell me all the chips prepared by Zhao Gao. I am a soldier and don't like my mother-in-law and mother." The captain stopped his smile and said to Yan Le.
This time it was Yan Le's turn to be shocked, and he stammered: "You, are you General Fu?"
"The general is not worth mentioning. Compared to your Lord Xianyang Ling, I am nothing, but if you want to survive, be honest, otherwise my brothers' swords will not have eyes."
"Yes, yes. When the subordinates came, the Prime Minister gave an order that as long as the general could not enter the city, gold, silver, jewelry, mountains, forests, land, high-ranking officials, beautiful maids, concubines, etc. could agree to it at the request." Yan Le hurriedly said. If you don't enter the city, Zhao Gao's abacus was really smart. As long as he could delay for a while, Zhao Gao could pass on the imperial edict in the name of the emperor to come to serve the king. At that time, as long as there were a few troops, Zhao Gao would not have to worry about Fu Ge's force and coercion.
"Take it seriously?" Fu Ge smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a little moved in his tone.
Yan Le said happily: "I guarantee with my reputation that all this is true. Please read the general. I have even brought the emperor's edict."
After saying that, Yan Le hurriedly took out a roll of sealed imperial edict from his arms made of silk. The edict was drafted overnight by Zhao Gao, and then stamped the emperor's jade seal himself. Zhao Gao was already familiar with these things.
"Ha——, I'm afraid that Prime Minister Zhao's false edict was secretly!" What Yan Le didn't expect was that Fu Ge, who had received the imperial edict, didn't even look at it, and threw the edict on the ground.
Yan Le's face changed, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he saw someone who was so disrespectful to the emperor's imperial edict. If an official in the court dared to do this and disdained Zhao Gao's orders, Yan Le would immediately take the guards to throw the man into prison. However, he immediately returned to normal. He was under the roof and had to bow his head. This time he came to beg for peace. The other party was strong and his own party was weak. In such an aberration, he had to endure anything that happened.
"The general's condition is-?" Yan Le asked with a smile.
"Did the Xianyang Order see the words written on the flags of our army? This is my condition, how about it?" Fu Ge looked coldly at Yan Le, who was usually arrogant and generous, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Killing treacherous ministers and eliminating tyrants - Yan Le doesn't need to read these six words, you can recite them even if you recite them.
"General, if this is the case, then we have nothing to talk about. When Yan was about to come, the Prime Minister asked me to tell the general that if the peace talks broke down, they would live and die with the city. At that time, they would be burned, and many lives would be killed or injured-!" Faced with Fu Ge's strong oppression, Yan Le, shrouded in despair, almost lost his mind. His words were not as threatening as a struggle.
"Ha, I really didn't expect that the Prime Minister loves the people so much as his son. He can still appreciate the casualties of the people in the city while taking the busy schedule. However, how can people not die in this war? As a soldier of Qin, I will never be threatened by the enemy. How to calm the public anger? After our army enters the city, the ill-gotten money you stolen will be used to give priority to those innocent people who die. What do you think of this method?" Fu Ge said Youyouyou.
Yan Le's threat is too pediatric. This method may be effective in dealing with a loyal and loyal general, but only two words can be summarized for Fu Ge - failure.
