Chapter 648
Ying Gao is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and he is an emperor with a good reputation in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Although Ying Gao is very cruel to kill people, all the people of the Qin Dynasty know that he is an emperor who says one or two, and what Ying Gao said will definitely not change easily.
"Zhao Gang is here for a child..."
Since Zhao Gang came here alone, it means that he still believed in Ying Gao. He originally wanted to tell Ying Gao about everything, so after Ying Gao asked, he did not hesitate and told Ying Gao directly.
Zhao Gang's idea was actually not complicated. At the beginning, he wanted to live a peaceful life in that small village regardless of Zhao Hu's letters, and let Liu Bang's children live a peaceful life.
But Zhao Gang also knew that since Zhao Hu's letter had been delivered to him, it was no secret that he was with Liu Bang's children. Zhao Hu knew that the Romans should also know it.
In this way, even if the Qin Dynasty finally defeated Rome, once Zhao Hu was captured by Ying Gao, his existence would be very likely to be known to Ying Gao. At that time, not only would he not be able to survive, but Liu Bang's child would probably have to become his own burial without knowing anything.
It was not easy for Zhao Gang to do something that he would do according to his wishes. He would definitely not allow such a situation to happen, so he decided to exchange his death for the life of Liu Bang's child. As long as he died, Ying Gao knew the whole story. As an emperor, he naturally would not fight for the strengths and weaknesses of a child he had wanted to let go.
After a lot of verbal talk, Zhao Gang finally introduced the cause and effect of this matter to Ying Gao. Of course, the main problem he emphasized was that Liu Bang's child did not know his true identity, nor did he know that he was Liu Bang's child, so Ying Gao had no reason to attack him.
But after hearing his words, Ying Gao's eyes lit up. Although Zhao Gang had been emphasizing how Liu Bang's children were, Ying Gao keenly realized that the Romans' real intention was to force himself to return to the territory of the Qin Dynasty by what happened within the Qin Dynasty. In that case, the remaining generals would not be what the Roman consul wanted to worry about.
"Have you ever replied to Zhao Hu?"
"Never, as long as the Lord can guarantee that the child will live, before I die, but according to the Lord's instructions!"
Zhao Gang obviously had long wanted what aspects he was the most valuable for Ying Gao, and he also knew what Ying Gao might need to do himself, so he naturally cooperated with Ying Gao's requirements.
"You guy, don't say the word "death" in front of me. If I wanted you to die, you would have died long ago. You will never see how I treated Liu Bang's children. From now on, you will do whatever I asked you to do."
Ying Gao has naturally not been in vain for the past few years. Of course, he would not let Zhao Gang lead the nose away. At that time, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring pen and paper, so that Zhao Gang would start writing a letter.
When Zhao Gang described that incident like Ying Gao, Ying Gao kept thinking about the question of time. Until he heard that Zhao Gang received Zhao Hu's notification, he had only stayed for one more day, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at Seliu as fast as possible.
Ying Gao knew that at this time, Zhao Gang would definitely not have any doubts when Seleu wrote a letter to Zhao Hu when he and then sent it to the Roman territory.
When Zhao Gang made a statement just now, Ying Gao had a complete plan in his mind. For Ying Gao, Zhao Gao's arrival can really be regarded as a timely rain. Ying Gao can foresee that now, because of his existence, the Romans must have a very complete defense. They know that as long as they don't leave here, they will definitely use troops against them, so vigilance is definitely the highest time. If they attack at this time, not to mention the victory or defeat, the losses will definitely not be reduced.
But if the Romans really thought they had returned to the Qin Dynasty and just when they were relieved, they would send Han Xin and others to kill one of them, the effect would definitely be much better.
While Ying Gao told Zhao Gang what he wanted Zhao Gang to say, he asked Zhao Gang to write a letter that could make Zhao Hu believe in his tone.
Zhao Gang wrote very seriously. After a while, he handed over the letter he had written to Ying Gao. After reading it twice, Ying Gao did not find any bad clues in it, so he took the opportunity to put the letter away. However, after putting it away, Ying Gao became quite interested in Zhao Gang again.
"You were originally sent by Zhao Cheng to Liu Bang's child. When you go, you will naturally want Zhao Cheng to use this child's identity to do something in the future, but the child itself is just a victim. If that's the case, why are you protecting the life of this child like this now?"
After hearing Ying Gao's question, Zhao Gang sighed deeply. Indeed, he knew that not only Ying Gao, but even if anyone in front of him would definitely ask him this question.
"When Zhao Cheng was there, I listened to his orders to repay the kindness that was saved by Zhao Gao. Now Zhao Cheng and Zhao Gao are both dead. My kindness has been repayed. Zhao Hu and I are the same as me. I naturally have no need to worry about it. Besides, he will definitely not have Zhao Cheng's last order when he defected to the Romans. It's just that he wants some power. I don't have the idea of Zhao Hu. I have become accustomed to the time with those children in the village of the old land of Yan. People like us have received harsh training since childhood. Those children can let me see what I have lost. They have helped me find my previous happiness. I naturally have to protect them."
When Zhao Gang said this, his face was very calm and calm. Ying Gao knew at a glance that this guy's words must be the truth. Liu Bang's son was really lucky. He had escaped a murder without knowing nothing.
Not to mention anything else, if Zhao Gang really did what Zhao Hu planned after receiving Zhao Hu's letter, then he just needed to take Liu Bang's child away quietly, and then quietly tell him what his life experience was. He added to the fire and said that his parents were executed by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty for no reason. What a big deal about Liu Ying's child, he must have shouted and killed Ying.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Gang secretly took him to Pei County and told the people in Pei County that he was Liu Bang's son. Now that he wanted to join forces with the families of the Pei County people who were killed by the Qin soldiers to avenge, some people would definitely be incited. If these people started to cause trouble in the territory of Pei County, Zhao Hu's plan would be done.
In this case, Ying Gao will definitely go back, and the first thing after going back is to find out the culprit of this matter. According to Zhao Hu's plan, Zhao Gang had no idea where he was hiding at this time. Isn't this just a child who stayed and endured Ying Gao's anger? Even if Ying Gao knew that this matter would definitely be manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, Liu Ying would definitely not be able to stay.
So if Zhao Gang didn't reveal any of this to Liu Ying, it would have saved his life. For this child, he would always be safe if he didn't know his true identity, but once he knew his life, his life would be very likely to immediately enter the countdown.
"Okay! I didn't expect that you are a person with a temperament. If Zhao Gao knew that you would become like this in the end, he would probably jump out and curse you."
Zhao Gang's appearance was a very big opportunity for Ying Gao. The Romans now had no flaws in hardware, so why didn't they just reveal their flaws?
After Zhao Gang wrote this letter that he thought was his own, he did not execute him by Ying Gao as he imagined. Instead, Ying Gao temporarily placed it in a mansion in the city of Seliu, which was also served with delicious food and drink. This made Zhao Gang a little confused about what Ying Gao had.
After receiving Zhao Gang's strategic letter, Ying Gao summoned Han Xin and Meng Tian to him again and informed them of the matter.
Although Han Xin and Meng Tian also thought this matter was a little bit bizarre, Zhao Gang did that, and most people couldn't make up such a thing.
According to Ying Gao's order, what Xiang Yu and Meng Tian had to do now was to send some scouts to stare at the Roman defenders, and then Ying Gao passed the letter to the Roman territory in a certain way.
Ying Gao believed that once Zhao Hu believed the contents of this letter, they would definitely send people to Seleu to confirm whether Ying Gao had left. At this time, if Ying Gao had performed a play for them, Zhao Hu and the Roman consul would completely believe in this matter. Then, it was time for the Romans to relax their guards. At this time, Ying Gao had waited for unknown lengths.
The three of them used half a day to make a plan, and then it was time to implement this matter in detail. Ying Gao was waiting in Seleu, waiting for him to start this ultimate battle.
In fact, Zhao Gang's incident was not the sudden discovery of conscience of Zhao Gang, but the policies implemented by Ying Gao over the years on the territory of the Qin Dynasty have finally reflected this aspect. If Ying Gao did not have any effort to make all the people of the Qin Dynasty live a very good life, Zhao Gang would not live very comfortably in that small village, let alone the harmonious scene of him and a few children.
Zhao Gang was born in an era of cannibalism before, so he was grateful to Zhao Gao, who saved his life. This incident was too simple for Zhao Gao, because the territory of Daqin was full of children who were about to starve to death. Although Daqin under Ying Gao's rule did not completely eliminate this situation, compared with before, there were many fewer ones.
Zhao Gang made such a decision, in the final analysis, in his recognition of Emperor Ying Gao and his recognition of the current situation in the Qin Dynasty. If the situation in the Qin Dynasty was still the same as that before more than ten years ago, he would not have made such a decision if Zhao Gang was killed. In that case, his decision would definitely be the same as Zhao Hu. No matter what, he would overthrow the Qin Dynasty first.
In fact, one thing Zhao Gang didn't know was that even if he fooled the young and ignorant Liu Ying and took him to Pei County, there would really be no one who would follow them to fight against Qin. It is hard to say whether Ying Gao could know and return.
Zhao Hu has been away from the Qin Dynasty for a while, and even during the period when he was lurking in Xianyang City and Lingnan, he has not integrated into the lives of ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Zhao Hu's impression of the Qin Dynasty is still at the time when Zhao Gao was in control of great power in the Qin Dynasty. It is no longer apart from his true appearance now.
On this day, Zhao Hu was waiting anxiously in his mansion. The Roman consul had asked him twice about whether there was any news on the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Because according to the rewards of Roman spies, the Qin people seemed to have prepared for the offensive near Seleu. As for the target of the attack, it goes without saying that it is naturally Rome. In this case, Zhao Gang, who had given a lot of hope before, had no news for him. It has to be said that if this matter was not successful, the Roman consul might not have a good impression of Zhao Hu.
"General, a merchant from Seleu came outside the door and said that there was goods to be given to the general."
Just as Zhao Hu was thinking about something inside his head, his maid suddenly arrived outside the door and said something like this.
"Cargo? Come in quickly!" Zhao Hu became energetic when he heard this. While speaking, he got up and went outside the door.
According to the Seleu merchant at the door, there was a merchant from the Mauryan Dynasty who asked him to deliver a bag of goods to Zhao Hu in addition to a large amount of money. After that, he left a small bag of things and left on his own.
