Half of the Qin Army inside were native-born Qin people brought over by Li You from the west of the letter. When he fought with Wu Guang a few days ago, many of the captives fell into the hands of the Anti-scoundrel. Most of the Qin people were unwilling to go from being thieves to being imprisoned in Wu Guang's camp.

Although Li You was scheming in his heart, he was not willing to let go of such a good thing. He said: "Carry that man and captive, as well as the good wine fat cow in the basket inside. Do not open the city gates, and let the thieves in. "Finally, let the messenger come here to see me and see what he has to say."

Although the city was rich in food, after holding on for a year, the stored meat was gradually being consumed. With this wine, he would be able to use his Soldiers to strike the teeth while consoling them with the hardships of many fierce battles.

The person who came was dressed in scholarly clothes and had a graceful bearing. It was Han Huaichu.

Li You got the good wine and fat cattle, and was also returned to the captives by the allied armies, so he had no choice but to be courteous this time. He then asked, "Who are you?" Han Huaichu said to him, "Under the false king, with Huaiyin."

When Li You heard the name Han Xin, he couldn't help but be moved. "So you're actually the Han Xin whose Longwupo has greatly defeated our Upper General Meng Yi Qin!"

Meng Yi was the leader of a local clan in the Qin State, and Li You's father, Li Si, was the leader of an outsider clan. Although Li You was the son of Li Si, he had absolute respect in his heart for Meng Yi. When news of Meng Yi's defeat reached Li You's ears, he still could not believe it. But today, the rumored commander of the rebel army who defeated Meng Yi was standing right in front of him.

Han Huaichu said indifferently: "Yes, I am."

Li You said: "With the talent of a general, that traitor Chen Sheng only gave you a small general. If you submit to my Great Qin, then I will promise you that you will become an official in our Qin Clan, and that will be better than being a small general amongst bandits. "

"Even you don't know whether you can protect your own life or not, and you still want to protect my life!" Han Huaichu secretly laughed in his heart, but his face did not reveal any emotions, and said: "Everyone has their own aspirations, thank you General for your good will, I, Han Ji, am trying to rob the Savage Qin, why would I even help the Qin?"

Seeing that he could not persuade Han Xin, Li You decided to give up. He then asked, "Why did your army return my captives and give me fine wine and fat cattle when we were both in the same situation?" Han Huaichu said unhurriedly, "Even though the fake king is fighting against the general on the battlefield, he is very respectful to the general. Realizing that these prisoners are also poor people, and since they are unwilling to surrender to our allied army and leave us with nothing in return, we might as well send them back to the general. " He paused for a moment, and then said, "The fake king thought that the city guards worked hard, and he specially bestowed good wine and fat cattle to reward the city's soldiers."

Li You asked suspiciously: "Are you trying to reward our soldiers? "Haha, could it be that this wine is poisoned?" Han Huaichu laughed lightly: "If General does not believe, can you let me taste the wine?" Li You laughed and said: "I'm overthinking it." Han Huaichu sighed, "A fake king is full of kindness, but to think that it would receive suspicions from others."

Li You said: "I appreciate the fake king's good intentions, I wonder if Wu Guang has anything else to say?"

Han Huaichu then continued: "The fake king heard that the general had written well and wanted to use good words to beg the general to give him a piece of the ink treasure."

"Wu Guang spent so much effort just to get ahold of my Mo Bao." Li You thought to himself, "So that's how it is, you can't help but ask:" Do you even know my name? Han Huaichu's face was full of smiles as he said respectfully: "How could the world not know of the title of general? "I've only heard that General Mo Bao is hard to ask for money, so I wonder if General Mo would be willing to give him face?"

Li You asked: "You fake kings also like to play around with elegance, do you like music?" Han Huaichu replied, "The Fake King was only a sharecropper in the past, there was no need for him to study literature. Right now, as the prince who commands a huge army of one hundred thousand, he likes to write essays and is asking a few scholars to teach him how to read. "

Li You replied with an "Oh" and couldn't help but to relax. He no longer doubted him and said: "That makes a lot of sense."

Moreover, Wu Guang had given him wine as a gift and also as a prisoner of war. Thus, he could only repay this favor with Mo Bao. He picked up a piece of silk, threw some ink into it and wrote down an ode.

Han Huaichu took the silk and read it aloud. Wonderful text! The general is indeed a wise man, a rare general. " Li You said gracefully: "Say hello to the fake king on my behalf. Forgive me for not giving up on the battlefield, haha."

Han Huaichu then took his leave and returned to Wu Guang's camp.

After Wu Guang obtained Li You's Mo Bao, he immediately used the reward that Li You had given him to have the Confucianism expert touch Li You's handwriting and forged a letter that Li You had exchanged with the allied army. He sent the letter to and wrote a few words before delivered it to his doctor.

If that pitiful Li You knew that his painstakingly written ode was not used by Wu Guang as an appreciation, but was used in such a way, he would probably vomit blood.

In the darkness of the night, pairs of eyes stared at the city gate.

Wu Guang's attack on the city did not stop just because he sent out some spies into the Xianyang to plot against them. There was a great general Tian Zang who had come up with a plan, for them to dig a tunnel underground that would lead straight into the city, and take advantage of the enemy's surprise attack to enter Xingyang. Wu Guang immediately followed through with his plan.

The tunnel extended from Wu Guang's camp all the way to the city entrance. After half a month of continuous digging, the city gates finally opened.

On this day, Tian Zang's personal subordinate entered the tunnel at night and crawled all the way to the end of the tunnel.

As for Wu Guang's army, they had long been lying in ambush outside the city, hiding amongst the grass, waiting for Tian Zang to enter the city and seize the city gate.

Suddenly, he heard a shout from the city, "Kill!" The city walls were lit up by the flames of the day.

Wu Guang thought, "Not good! The Qin Army has long been prepared, I'm afraid General Tian has made a mistake! "

He could only hear the wails and screams of the city. It was clear that the rebel army who had climbed out of the tunnel first had been killed by the Qin Army.

Wu Guang anxiously returned to the camp, and not long after, soldiers who had escaped miserably crawled out from the hole in the ground. Wu Guang asked anxiously: "How is General Tian doing now?"

Tian Zang, whose entire body was covered in blood, came out from the tunnel entrance and scolded: "That Li You is so crafty, he has already found out about our military aircraft and ambushed under the city walls. If not for the corpses of our soldiers filling the tunnels, this general's life might not have been preserved. "

Wu Guang sighed: "It seems that our army had gone all out to dig the tunnel and leaked the news. It was discovered by the Qin Army and caused our defeat today. It's just a pity that they ended up losing their lives. " Then he stopped talking about it.

Besides, the letter Wu Guang sent over to the Xianyang City was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and it caused a political disturbance in the Xianyang's Qin Ting.

The doctor had allowed Zhao Gao to obtain the letter in great delight, as if he had obtained a treasure. Without distinguishing whether it was true or false, he reported to Qin Ii Huhai, "That day at Bo Langsha Qiu for plotting, Prime Minister Li Si and this subject had merited meritorious service. Only Prime Minister Li Si had not been given the title of Prime Minister. Presumably, he wished for His Majesty to split the land with him, and since His Majesty was unable to fulfill his request, resentment grew in his heart. I have material evidence to prove that his son, County Governor Li You, and the Anti-scoundrel have secret dealings with each other. He wants to collude with the Anti-scoundrel and take part in the trial together to divide up our Great Qin. Your Majesty must quickly capture him and sentence him to a felony. "

When Huhai heard that Long Yan was enraged, he immediately sent Li Si to jail and made the prison warden judge his crimes. Li Si could not accept it in prison. He had to submit to Huhai and show his achievements so that Huhai could find out if Li You's conspiracy was real.

That book would naturally not land in Huhai's hands, but fall into Zhao Gao's.

"How can a prisoner under that rank be qualified to submit a report to the Son of Heaven?" Zhao Gao said disdainfully as he handed over the candle to Li Si.

Afraid that things might get out of hand, Zhao Gao sent some of his hanger-ons to pretend to be the censor, the minister and the emperor's envoy to take turns interrogating Li Si. If Li Si answered with the truth, he would be caned. The weak scholar was beaten until his flesh was split open and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. After a while, Li Si endured the torture, and had no choice but to confess. At this time, Zhao Gao thought that the time was right, and he urged Huhai to send someone to interrogate Li Si. Li Si thought that the interrogation would be the same as before, and that the person who came was still sent by Zhao Gao.

When the envoy reported Li Si's confession to Huhai, Huhai was actually overjoyed, and said: "If it wasn't for My Close Zhao, I would have been sold by the prime minister." They had determined that Li Si would receive five punishments, that he would rob others on the streets of Xianyang and take revenge for the three families of Li Si.

Li Si and his second son were tied up and escorted to Cao City. Li Si and his son reported with tears in their eyes, "It's impossible for me to bring my dog to Cai Dong Gate to hunt, even if I want to."

The ones who were implicated in the Li Si case were the Right Prime Minister Feng Jianji and the General Feng Ji. Zhao Gao falsely accused them of colluding with Li Si to rebel, and so Huhai brought the two officials to prison. The two did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide in prison.

Since Li Si had died, Huhai took him as the prime minister and held him responsible for everything that had happened. It could be said that he had only one hand to cover the sky.

In the Yingyang City, Li You was defending the city against Wu Guang. Li Si had been killed, and the news of the three races being annihilated had reached the Yingyang City.

Li You gazed at the Xianyang in the west, and bowed while sobbing in blood: "Qin Ting is immoral, my father has worked so hard for him, and worked so hard for him, yet this child Huhai actually listened to his slanderous words, and caused my father to be killed for no reason. Soon, the imperial government will send someone to take Li You away. Since Li You does not want to wait for death, he had to escape. Now that the Anti-scoundrel has besieged the city, I can decide whether I want to fight or fall. " He then hung the printed ribbon in the hall and disappeared without a trace.

The generals had followed Li You for many years. Some were willing to follow Li You and leave; others had the intention to surrender; some were unwilling to follow the thief, but seeing that the matter was over, they had no choice but to abandon the city.

The remaining generals then discussed and decided to send messengers to Wu Guang's camp to declare their surrender.

Wu Guang was elated upon hearing this, he turned and said to Han Huaichu: "General Han, your ability to 'attack the heart' is truly brilliant. With just a small scheme, you managed to obtain the Xingyang without spending a single soldier."

Han Huaichu laughed: "Success, today, I can report back to King of Chen with my orders." Wu Guang said: "I will personally report it to you, to show you my achievements, and to have King of Chen reclaim it as a general."

The next day, the Yingyang City raised a white flag, the city gates opened wide, and all the generals kneeled in front of the gates, respectfully welcoming the fake king into the city. However, the smell of the false king, who was strong and armed, wanted to exterminate the violent Qin, all of them welcomed him.

Wu Guang then rode his big horse and led the allied army into the Xingyang. The citizens in the city lit up firecrackers, and beat gongs and drums to celebrate the arrival of the allied army in the city, but did not bring it up.

In the Yingyang City, there were originally guard numbers of fifty thousand, but thirty thousand were willing to surrender to the allied army.

Han Huaichu then bid farewell to Wu Guang, and desired to return to the Chencheng to report to him. As for Li Cang, he was bestowed with this title, which was to serve in the army.
