Before the Chu and Zhao cavalry who were pushed into Qin from the Yan clan to reach Xianyang, the cold wind in Siberia had already flowed along the Helan Mountains and blew across the northern Shaanxi Plateau to the two sides of the Wei River. Xianyang was cold all night. Early in the morning, Mi Xuan in Huayang Palace was helping Mi Ji thicken his bedding clothes. In order to prevent his shoulders from being exposed, the Chu-style bedding was specially made into a 'subt' shape, which was just close to the neck so that the bedding clothes could cover the shoulders.

The bedding and bedding were all replaced and thickened. Mi Ji, who had been moved to another bed, was watching and unable to speak. After a while, she turned her head and looked at the scenery outside Lu Li’s window. It was late autumn, and the grass in the garden was withered and yellow, covered with golden fallen leaves. The branches were bare, and only a few red fruits were seen hanging on the branches in the autumn wind, which made her miss the smell of red fruits.

When I was young, I was in the state of Chu, and the late autumn was the season when the red fruits were ripe. The princesses in the palace were instructed to climb up a red fruit tree more than ten feet high, pick the red fruits on the tree, or simply knock them with bamboo, and then pick them up on the ground. The red fruits were red, but unfortunately, if the fruits were too ripe, they would inevitably be pecked by birds; if they were not broken, they would feel bitter when bitten hard. The old man in the palace said that if the red fruits were too hard, they should be put on and wait until they were soft. When they were soft, they would not only not astringent, but as long as they poke the skin, they could suck out the flesh inside.

Mi Ji's mind was full of childhood memories. It was not until Mi Xuan whispered in her ear that she was about to have a meal that she came back to her senses. Seeing Mi Xuan with a smile on her face, Mi Ji returned to the real world: she was about to die soon, and her favorite niece could only marry the King of Qin, not the King of Chu she liked...

"Zheng'er greets Empress Dowager Zu." The temple's palace maids had just arranged several tables and food utensils, and Zhao Zheng came to greet him. As soon as he came, everyone bowed and bowed.

"I've seen the king." Although Mi Xuan was a Su Bai, she did not say the word "concubine", which made Zhao Zheng look at her every time.

"You are already a good man, and I will say to you when I see you." Zhao Zheng felt unhappy when he thought that the King of Chu had entered Qin for Mi Xuan.

"I've seen the king." Mi Xuan bowed again, but still did not say the word "concubine".

Disobeying the king is a death sentence, and being a concubine of the king is rude to call himself a concubine. Zhao Gao was going to shout "rude". Zhao Zhengsui stopped him. He glared at Mi Xuan before leaving with his face full of frost.

"Oh!" After Zhao Zheng left, the old temple man Shangwu sighed, but the temple maid from Huayang Palace began to stay away from Mi Xuan and stopped talking to her. Mi Xuan pretended not to realize this and only smiled and fed Mi Ji.

"When will you leave Qin?" In an unknown corner of Huayang Palace, the maid Caibo was talking to a temple man with his back facing her.

"I have received the message and leave Qin the next day." The voice of the temple man had no characteristics except for being low.

"The future is too urgent, and the female princess will be reluctant to leave the Queen Mother of Zu and leave." It is not difficult to leave the palace and the city of Xianyang City like a sieve. The real difficulty is whether Mi Xuan is willing to leave Mi Ji. After the previous experience, Caibo felt that even if the truth was told, Mi Xuan would not leave the city.

"The king is coming, and he will leave the city even if he doesn't leave the city." The temple's people saw someone coming from a distance, and left the words and hurried away.

Caibo is the maid next to Mi Xuan. Her kindness was used by the knowing leader and became a spy next to Mi Xuan. Mi Xuan left Xianyang, so she naturally followed her to leave Xianyang. However, the day after tomorrow was really anxious, especially the Queen Mother Zu had not yet died. The next day, when the temple was holding a candle, she finally said in Mi Xuan's ear: "The king has sent someone to Xianyang to welcome the daughter of the prince into Chu..."

"What do you mean?" Mi Xuan's body trembled and looked at her in surprise.

"The king has sent someone to Xianyang to welcome the daughter of the young master into Chu." Caibai repeated it quickly. At this time, Cui Xiu and others have already returned after lifting the candle. "The daughter of the young master will leave Xianyang City tomorrow, remember."

"I can't..." Mi Ji's cough came from the west room. Before Mi Xuan finished answering, she heard something being pushed off the bed, and then Shangwu was anxiously summoning the imperial physician.

*

"Reported to the King, Empress Dowager Zu's illness is critical." In Qutai, Weinan, there were finally no bamboo slips on several cases, and only a map of Qin was placed, with Wei Liao and Zhang Han surrounding them. According to the news from the cities along the Jingshui River, the enemy cavalry was very fast. The day before yesterday, the vanguard had reached Qixian County, more than 200 miles away from Xianyang.

"Who is the one who says Fengli? What is the one who says the imperial physician?" Empress Dowager Zu was critically ill, so Zhao Zheng could only stop the current discussion.

"Report to the king: I will tell you everything I have to do, and I will obey God's will." Zhao Gao said, "The imperial physician's words are the words of the Empress Dowager Zu and the Queen Mother will die."

"Oh!" Zhao Zheng slammed the fist on several cases, sighing deeply. "Wei Qing..."

In order to keep it as confidential as possible, only Zhao Zheng, Wei Liao and Zhang Han knew about this ambush. Zhang Han was indeed proficient in military tactics. He actually asked Zhao Zheng not to enter Xianyang City, Weibei, and waited for the King of Chu to attack in Zhangtai Palace in Weinan.

Even Wei Liao, who recommended him with such a bold request, was shocked. However, the benefits of doing so were obvious: all the Chu and Zhao cavalry would be attracted to Weinan. Once the Zhou army controlled the Changqiao and the coast of the Wei River, they would be unable to fly. The disadvantage was naturally Zhao Zheng's safety. The Chu and Zhao cavalry rushed for thousands of miles just to kill the king. If they really succeeded, all the arrangements were meaningless.

Zhao Zheng did not agree or object to Zhang Han's suggestion, so it would be impossible to leave like this. At the speed of the enemy cavalry, the fastest after tomorrow, his vanguard will appear on the Xianyang Plain the next day.

"The people of Jing want to reach Xianyang and pass by Ganquan and Gukou. Do you really think they can pull out Ganquan within one day?" Zhao Zheng looked at his ministers who wanted to keep him and asked. The valley entrance is more dangerous than the Ganquan Palace, so Zhao Zheng believed that the enemy would come from Ganquan Palace.

"How many days will it take to break the Yan clan?" Wei Liao wanted to speak, and one step earlier than Wei Liao. The young Zhang Han stood up and asked.

"If there is a ladder to rush the car, it will be at least five days." Zhao Zheng replied as he looked at the unknown general.

"The king thinks it will take how many days to break the city?" Zhang Han asked again.

"It will take five days." Zhao Zheng replied again. Yan's pass and Chao's city form horns. Dozens of horses, more than a hundred horses can pass through. It would be unreasonable for five thousand horses to pass through. "Zhang Qing thought that the people of Jing had the secret skill to break the city?"

Zhang Qing's name made Zhang Han's heart tremble, and he finally got into the king's eyes. "I agree." Zhang Han said. "Five thousand cavalry galloped down, and the Yan clan, the city must have been broken, otherwise our cavalry would follow him and the Jing people would be uneasy."

"I defeated the Yan family overnight and went to those two cities?" Even though I had argued with Wei Liao that day, Zhao Zheng still couldn't believe the speed of the Chu army breaking the city. But it is really unimaginable to say that the Yan family did not break the city.

The Yan clan and the garrisons had three thousand each, and the 5 thousand cavalry was too few, so it was impossible for one army to surround the Yan clan and the other army to gallop towards Xianyang. It was impossible for five thousand cavalry to rush by at night. The Yan clan and the garrisons were mostly cavalry, and they would definitely pursue them. But the facts proved that no Qin cavalry was pursuing the enemy - the enemy rushed past the Feixun Station, but had no time to destroy all the Feixun Stations. There was no news of the pursuers behind the enemy cavalry still being intermittently transmitted to Xianyang.

"I agree." Zhang Han said affirmatively. "If the Jing people can defeat the Yan family overnight and face the two cities, they will definitely defeat the Gukou overnight. Therefore, I think that the Jing people will cross the Jing River to attack Xianyang the next day."

"The day after tomorrow?" Zhao Zheng was surprised by Zhang Han's judgment. This speed was too fast.

"It's not the day after tomorrow, it's one day later." Wei Liao's judgment was not as extreme as Zhang Han. He felt that it would take at least two days from Qi County to Xianyang.

"Since the Jing people have the art of breaking the city, I think that they will break out from the valley entrance." Zhang Han said again. "Our army will have at most eighteen hours. Whether the king stays in Weinan to lure the enemy will make a decision. After tonight, we will not be able to transfer troops to Weinan tomorrow night."

"I stayed in Weinan!" Thinking that the King of Chu dared to go out to Qin, Zhao Zheng was competitive again, and he wanted to stay in Weinan.

"The king is brave and brave." Zhang Han praised. "One of my friends has another matter to ask the king."

"What's the matter? Zhang Qing asked me to say." Zhang Han's praise was a heartfelt praise, and Zhao Zheng was very happy.

"Please accept the axe and halberd tonight and beside me. Only when I get the axe and halberd can I command the entire army." Zhang Han said loudly. Military talismans can only be used to mobilize troops, and axes and halberds can be killed and taken away.

"No." Zhao Zheng couldn't help but look at Zhang Han for a few more times. He felt that this minister must be a person who was keen on power.

"I have something else." Zhang Han said again, Zhao Zheng was a little impatient this time.

"Zhang Qing said this." Zhao Zheng said again.

"Mi Liangren went out of the city to lure the enemy, but everything was not accurate during the war, so I may not be able to protect him." Zhang Han talked about Mi Xuan. Mi Xuan was taken to Xianyang Plain by the Marquis of Chu to meet the King of Chu. It was okay for the King of Chu to go to Weinan. If the King of Chu returns immediately, the scene of blocking would be very chaotic. At that time, Mi Xuan's safety could not be guaranteed.

"It's okay." Mi Xuan's bright face flashed through Zhao Zheng's mind, and he thought about her disrespect for herself, and the words "It's okay" blurted out.

"A great king trusts his ministers, and I will definitely win King Jing." After all the requests were made, Zhang Han bowed to Zhao Zheng.

In a moment, he was summoned to the Taimiao to give him an axe. He was the general, and Zhao Yong, who was urgently summoned to come to Xianyang, guarding him. When the Taimiao to give him an axe, there were already crying in Huayang Palace.

It was Mi Lu who was crying bitterly. After seven years of marriage in the Qin Palace, every time the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was arrogant, the Empress Dowager Zu came forward to scold and stop him. Now the Empress Dowager Zu was about to die, and when she thought of facing Zhao Ji alone in the future, she couldn't help crying bitterly.

Mi Xuan cried bitterly, and Mi Xuan was about to come forward to comfort her. Caibo once again pulled her away. "The people sent by the king came from outside the border, and even if countless soldiers died in a moment, please ask the daughter to leave Xianyang in the afternoon."
