"Get up. Immediately send a few confidants to send these two documents out. This one is for Wang Li, and the other is for Zhao Tuo from the Southern Expedition.”Ying Zheng came before the Moon Goddess and handed over two documents to her.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yueshen respectfully reached out her hands and carefully took the document from the First Emperor, then quickly disappeared from the room with Shaosi Ming.
Wang Li's army had 300,000 soldiers, and Zhao Tuo's Baiyue region had 500,000 Qin soldiers. The entire Great Qin Empire had a million soldiers, but after years of war, there were naturally not that many. These two regions alone had 800,000 soldiers, while the entire Great Qin Empire had less than 200,000 soldiers. It was obvious that the central regions were extremely empty. It was no wonder that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army had been able to break through the city walls and reach Xianyang City.
In history, Wang Li's army had been completely wiped out at the Battle of Julu, and they had never been able to return to Xianyang. Zhao Tuo's 500,000 soldiers had never left the Bai Yue Land even after Great Qin had fallen. In the end, after Great Qin had fallen, Zhao Tuo had chosen to become King himself.
"I hope the two of you will not disappoint me!”Ying Zheng stood in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky outside, muttering to himself.
……
At the same time, Zhao Gao stood alone in front of the railing of a pavilion in Xianyang Palace. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and frowned.
During this period of time, Great Qin's anti-Qin factions continued to grow, and all sorts of bad news kept reaching Xianyang. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's armies were about to reach Xianyang City, so how could he not be anxious?
"It's been a day. Why hasn't there been any news?”Zhao Gao muttered to himself. He was waiting for news about the Six Sword Slaves of the Network. Compared to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army, he was more concerned about news about the people related to the Emperor Star.
At this moment, a messenger crow landed on Zhao Gao's shoulder.
Zhao Gao hurriedly took off the letter tube from the crow's foot, then opened the letter and read it. With just a glance, his hands holding the letter could not help but tremble slightly.
The content of the letter was very simple, with only six words: "The First Emperor is still alive!"
However, these six words were like a bolt of lightning that suddenly fell from the sky and struck him. In an instant, his entire heart trembled, and he felt a chill attack his entire body. He could not help but shiver, and his body trembled slightly.
Zhao Gao had been the most favored eunuch of the First Emperor. He had served the First Emperor for so many years. It could be said that he understood the First Emperor the most in this world.
With the First Emperor's domineering and decisive character, if he returned to Xianyang City and found out that Zhao Gao had done so many things in the past two years, even changing the First Emperor's posthumous edict before his death, forcing the eldest son Hu Su to death, and killing many loyal generals, he would definitely die a miserable death.
Although Zhao Gao seemed to be in control of the entire situation in Xianyang City and the army in Xianyang City, who were those soldiers in Xianyang City? They were all real Qin people. If the First Emperor really appeared in Xianyang, those soldiers would immediately pledge their loyalty to the First Emperor. Even if some generals wanted to rebel, not many soldiers were willing to follow.
Among all the armies of Great Qin, the First Emperor's prestige was unparalleled. It could be said that the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was the faith and soul of the entire Great Qin army. The Great Qin army with the First Emperor was a true army of tigers and wolves.
This was also the reason why the Meng Army did not dare to rebel against the Qin Empire even after the generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi were forced to their deaths by Zhao Gao and Huhai. This was not because Zhao Gao and Huhai were strong, but because even after the First Emperor died, the power of the Great Qin Empire and the First Emperor still remained. This was also why Zhao Gaoming knew that Meng Tian had 300,000 strong soldiers in her army, but still dared to send an imperial edict to kill her.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gao and Huhai had completely defeated them within two to three years.
Even though Great Qin seemed to be on the verge of collapse, if the First Emperor really returned to Xianyang City, Great Qin's situation would instantly turn around, and all of Great Qin's armies would bare their fangs.
"No, that's impossible. He, he's clearly dead?”At this moment, Zhao Gao was completely panicking. He began to be afraid. This was the first time he was so flustered.
Although he didn't know why the First Emperor was resurrected, he knew that the Network would definitely verify such important information and only dare to send it back after confirming it again and again. Therefore, there shouldn't be any problem with the authenticity of this news.
Immediately after, messenger crows continuously sent news from Mount Li. The net assassins sent to Mount Li were all dead, and even the Six Sword Slaves had all died there.
The Six Sword Slaves were his right-hand men and the only force that was completely under his control. They had done many things for him over the years.
Now that the Six Sword Slaves were dead, he had lost a great help.
"The First Emperor must die!" After a long time, the pale-faced Zhao Gao clenched his fists tightly. He didn't even notice that his nails were digging into his palms and that blood was flowing out. Then, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely,
He had no other choice. Either the First Emperor would die or he would die, so he could only bite the bullet and take the risk.
Zhao Gao returned to his study and wrote several documents in a row.
At the same time, he also had to seal off the news that the First Emperor was still alive. Otherwise, if many people in Xianyang City got the news, they would definitely take the initiative to welcome the First Emperor back and take charge of the overall situation.
That night, Zhao Gao was unable to sleep due to his fear and uneasiness. He only fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. Then, he had a dream. In the dream, he saw the First Emperor again. Then, he was scared awake. When he sat up, he found that he was drenched.
Of course, he was not alone, because there were many people who had insomnia with him.
