Fusu was very satisfied with Zhang Han's performance, and then asked, "How many men do you have under your command now?"

Zhang Han cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, this humble general only has five hundred men under his command..."

Five hundred men? Fusu frowned. It would be difficult for five hundred men to deal with the Black Ice Platform.

Seeing Fusu's predicament, Shusun Tong, who was standing nearby, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan! Kill Zhao Gao, demote Li Si, and dismantle the Black Ice Terrace!"

A glint flashed in Fusu's eyes, and he quickly asked, "What method? Tell me quickly, my dear Uncle."

Shusun Tong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile, and he whispered a few words in Fusu's ear.

Upon hearing this, Fusu's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Shusun Tong in surprise.

"Is this... feasible?"

"His Majesty!"

Shusun Tong cupped his hands and said, "At this point, only by taking a desperate gamble can we achieve victory!"

Fusu fell silent. The plan proposed by Shusun Tong was indeed too risky. If it was not handled properly, it would plunge the world into chaos.

But now Zhao Gao and the Black Ice Guard's power is too great, and the Qin Dynasty no longer knows whether it belongs to Zhao or Ying.

Fusu had no other choice but to follow Shusun Tong's advice.

In 209 BC, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led conscripted soldiers to kill the officers escorting them in Dazexiang, Qixian County, and launched a mutiny.

The rebel army captured Dazexiang and Qixian in succession, and established the Zhang Chu regime in Chenxian, which was met with widespread support.

.................

Xianyang Palace.

Fusu sat upright in the main hall and roared, "Zhao Gao! How did your Black Ice Guard gather intelligence?"

At this moment, Zhao Gao's forehead also began to sweat. This mutiny and uprising came too suddenly. It was not until Chen Sheng and Wu Guang established their regime that the Black Ice Guard received the news.

The reason is simple: the Black Ice Platform is much smaller in scale than it was during the Warring States period.

At that time, thanks to Ying Zheng's support, the Black Ice Guards were spread throughout the seven kingdoms. After unifying the world, Ying Zheng built the Great Wall and searched for the elixir of immortality, which consumed a lot of money and food, making it impossible to support so many Black Ice Guards.

Therefore, many of them were disbanded, and now the Black Ice Platform has less than three thousand people.

"Your Majesty! This rebellion came suddenly, I..."

Before Zhao Gao could finish speaking, Fusu immediately interrupted him.

"The renowned Black Ice Guard can't even handle this simple task! How can I trust you?"

Zhao Gao felt a pang of anxiety. This was indeed his dereliction of duty, and he had no excuse to refute it.

Li Si quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent matter is not to assign blame, but to send troops to suppress the rebels immediately!"

Fusu's face was gloomy. He had originally intended to take this opportunity to remove Zhao Gao and abolish the Black Ice Guard, but Li Si's words at this moment were indeed extremely urgent.

"Then, Prime Minister, who do you think should be appointed as general?"

Now, Meng Tian is guarding the Great Wall and disobeying orders, while Wang Ben and Zhao Tuo are also guarding Nanyue. They are too far away to help in the immediate crisis.

How could the mighty Qin Dynasty not have a single capable general?

Li Si pondered for a long time but still couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

"I will recommend someone. Where is Zhang Han?"

Zhang Han stepped forward from among the officials, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Zhang Han is here!"

"Your subject is appointed General Who Punishes Rebellion, leading 100,000 troops to suppress the rebels. Is this feasible?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "Your subject will certainly do everything in his power to eliminate the traitor for Your Majesty!"

Fusu nodded in approval, and only then did Zhang Han stand up and leave.

After Zhang Han left, everyone started discussing it. Although Zhang Han was a newcomer, he was brave and skilled in battle and had served as a bodyguard for the late emperor. Zhao Gao knew this very well.

However, when Zhang Han wanted to join the Black Ice Platform, Zhao Gao did not agree.

Fusu immediately adjourned the court session and told everyone to return to their residences.

After everyone had left, Zhao Gao summoned Li Si and said, "Prime Minister, this rebellion is rather strange."

Upon hearing this, Li Si asked in confusion, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Zhao Gao frowned and said in a low voice, "I can't say for sure either, but I feel that this rebellion came too suddenly. Even if the Black Ice Guard is incompetent, it's impossible that they would have received the news so late."

Zhao Gao still had absolute confidence in the Black Ice Guard. Even though he was not as powerful as when Lu Li was in charge, his intelligence-gathering ability was still top-notch.

But this time, he didn't receive any news at all, which puzzled him.

"Does Lord Zhao mean... there's a traitor within the Black Ice Guard?"

Zhao Gao shook his head repeatedly and said with certainty, "Impossible. Every single person in the Black Ice Guard was personally recruited by me, and they are absolutely loyal!"

"I just feel like someone is deliberately manipulating all of this, concealing information, but they can even keep it from the Black Ice Platform..."

Zhao Gao dared not say any more, and Li Si naturally understood what he meant.

"Hiss... Lord Zhao, be careful what you say!" Li Si quickly advised.

Everything that happened today reminded Zhao Gao of the first time Lu Li was assassinated.

At that time, the Black Ice Platform had not yet been built. The Mo family and Yue Qi joined forces to assassinate Lu Li.

The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising happened suddenly, and they had already established their own regimes. It's very strange that the Black Ice Guard hadn't received any news about it beforehand.

Therefore, Zhao Gao suspected that someone must have been blocking the news!

Who could possess such great ability? Even Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Shusun Tong didn't have it, so only one person could be left!
