Chapter 84: The Destruction of the Xiang Clan
Xiang Yu felt full of regret.

If I had convinced my uncle at that time, the result would not have been this.

But now that it has happened, there is no point in regretting it.

But now he can't bear the water torture of the Qin army.

Xiang Yu was extremely desperate.

If even he couldn't bear the water torture, then no one else could bear it.

Xiang Yu used this reason to convince himself.

Make yourself feel better.

After all, he was going to tell the enemy the information about the Xiang family.

Xiang Yu begged, "Excuse me, will you let go of those innocent people in the tribe?"

Zhang Han said solemnly: "You speak first. It is not for you to say whether they are innocent or not. Besides, their fate is not decided by me, but by your majesty."

"Also, if you don't tell us, we can also ask someone else. You are not the only one who survived the battlefield." Zhang Han warned.

After a moment's silence, Xiang Yu faced the reality.

Then he slowly replied, "I know."

Xiang Yu then told Zhang Han the intelligence he had.
Especially when it comes to those Qin officials who had transactions with their Xiang clan, Xiang Yu described them in great detail.

Because he felt that his Xiang family was having a hard time, so he didn't want to let those officials have an easy time.

If those officials were useful, why were he and his uncle ambushed by the Qin army?

But in the end Xiang Yu still begged Zhang Han: "I have told you everything I know. Please, if you can spare some people, please have mercy on them."

Zhang Han replied: "It is not me who decides the life and death of your people, but your Majesty. If you had not insisted on rebelling, this situation would not have occurred."

In fact, Zhang Han could see that Xiang Yu was a military general with great potential and a talent that could be cultivated.

It's a pity that he is a traitor.

Otherwise, if he kills enemies for the Qin Dynasty on the battlefield, he will become a famous general in the Qin Dynasty.

After all, he couldn't use the Overlord Halberd with one hand.

Afterwards, Zhang Han ordered the shadow guards to properly detain Xiang Yu to prevent him from committing suicide. After all, he was a high-ranking rebel and might have questions to ask in the future.

Moreover, how to deal with Xiang Yu must be approved by Your Majesty.

In order to prevent Xiang Yu's wound from getting infected, he even asked the shadow guard to disinfect and bandage Xiang Yu's wound with alcohol.

Xiang Yu was very confused when he saw the shadow guard's disinfection behavior.

Because he is also an old wine lover, of course he can smell the aroma of wine.

Xiang Yu had never smelled wine with such a strong aroma.

The liquor must be strong! But why did they apply strong liquor to the wound?

Is it to torture me?
So he asked: "Why did you apply such fine wine on my wounds? Even if you want to torture me, you don't need to use such fine wine. Wouldn't salt be just as painful?"

The shadow guard replied: "This is to disinfect your wound to prevent it from getting infected and causing you to die."

After hearing this, Xiang Yu fell silent.

Because this means that the medical technology of the Qin Dynasty has advanced to a level that they cannot understand.

We all know how to effectively prevent wound infection.

Is this still the Great Qin he is familiar with?

Obviously, he was also an officer of the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Yu suspected that the current changes in the Qin army might be related to Shaqiu County.

Ever since Ying Zheng arrived in Shaqiu County, everything seemed to have changed.

So what exactly is inside that Shaqiu County... Xiang Yu closed his tired eyelids while thinking. He had experienced too much today and was too tired.

First they had a forced march, then they were ambushed and their entire army was wiped out. Their uncle also died, and they were interrogated by water torture.

……

Zhang Han sent the intelligence he obtained to Ying Zheng via carrier pigeon, and then he began to receive the newly arrived replenishment of bullets and grenades.

After simple preparations, Zhang Han led his shadow guards towards Kuaiji County.

He wanted to deal with those criminals in Kuaiji County who dared to collude with Xiang Yu and other rebels, especially Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County.

It was Yin Tong's connivance that allowed the Xiang family to grow so powerful!
So Zhang Han had to capture Yin Tong before he could react.

At that time, he would use Yin Tong's order to capture the members of the Xiang family and complete the task of rescuing Yu Ji's parents.

After all, Xiang Yu had already told him the location where Yu Ji's parents were imprisoned.

In a small courtyard in Wu County, there are eight people guarding it.

Such defense was nothing to Zhang Han.

Especially now that his shadow guards had just replenished their ammunition.

In the brothel in Shaqiu County, Zhao Yi was discussing the success of the performance with Yu Ji and others.

Among them, Zhao Yi also praised Xiaoling, who dressed up as a man to play King Zhou. He didn't expect that after putting on the specially made costume.

Xiaoling's performance as King Zhou is OK...

Half a month after the performance, Yu Ji received news from Ying Zheng that her parents had been rescued.

After hearing this, Zhao Yi was also impressed by his scumbag father's quick actions.

It only took half a month to solve Xiang Yu's hidden danger.

He mourned for Xiang Yu in his heart. He didn't expect that the mighty King of Western Chu would die before he could do anything great.

After receiving the order from His Majesty, Zhang Han purged all the officials in Kuaiji County from top to bottom, killing almost half of the officials in Kuaiji County, and then exiled a large number of officials.

After Zhang Han's purge, only one-fifth of the original officials in Kuaiji County remained, and officials had to be transferred from other places to maintain the operation of Kuaiji County's government.

The purge of officials in Kuaiji County caused a huge uproar in Qin.

The whole nation was surprised that His Majesty would be so cruel. No one expected that the officials in Kuaiji County would be so bold as to communicate with the rebels.

This incident also affected Zhao Gao who was in Jiuyuan County.

Because some officials from his faction were also implicated in the case of treason in Kuaiji County, and Zhao Gao did not dare to do anything bad at this time.

God knows whether His Majesty has sent someone to secretly monitor me.

Besides, your Majesty's actions are too secretive.

When Zhao Gao himself was still by Your Majesty's side, he had never heard of any conspiracy with Kuaiji County.

You have to know that he was the Minister of the Imperial Chariots before, and his power was almost as strong as those of the two prime ministers.

Even so, he didn't know anything about Kuaiji County. He didn't know when His Majesty started hiding it from him.

In addition, I am afraid that Your Majesty has formed an army without knowing when.

Otherwise, how could the 3,000 rebels in Kuaiji County be quietly wiped out in Donghai County?
There is clearly no news of troop movements in various places.

So the cautious Zhao Gao suspended the trade with the Huns for a while and waited until the impact of the rebellion of the officials in Kuaiji County had passed before taking any action.

In fact, not only Zhao Gao, but some other people who wanted to rebel also secretly stopped their activities.

Because they were also afraid that what happened in Kuaiji County would happen to them.

As for the source of the rebellion in Kuaiji County, the Xiang family was ordered by Ying Zheng to execute all men over the age of five, and exile the rest to various frontiers.
