When fighting a war, it is never about the battlefield itself, but rather about the current political situation.
Only by controlling people's hearts can we be victorious in every battle.
"Did you know that Prime Minister Li Si has passed away?"
Wang Jian seemed a little unwilling to give up and asked Wang Li.
"I have received the news. It is a pity that Mr. Li has worked hard all his life and ended up like this in his later years. Alas!"
When Li Si was mentioned, Wang Li couldn't help but sigh.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer figures of the older generation in the court, and even Li Si is no longer here.
"Then did you know that Li Si is Zhang Han's biggest supporter?"
Wang Jian continued to ask. He found out the news through casual investigation. He didn't believe that his grandson didn't know.
"I know, does this have anything to do with our current attack on Julu?"
Seeing that the other party kept mentioning something he had or didn't have, Wang Li said with some doubts.
Seeing that his grandson had no political foresight, Wang Jian gave up completely at this moment.
He finally figured out that his grandson's current military ability only limited to formation of troops.
If he could manage a hundred or a thousand people, he would be fine, but if he had more than one, he would probably be incapable of doing so, let alone being in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops now.
Without the slightest sense of the overall situation, I'm afraid there will be a big mess.
If he is a rebel general, he will definitely send advance troops to attack the food corridor to test Zhang Han's attitude.
If Zhang Han had other intentions and did not want to protect the Qin Dynasty, he would directly cut off the food corridor and attack Wang Li's army with all his strength, thus completely eating up the last army of the Qin Dynasty.
"If that's the case, why not take advantage of it?"
Thinking of this, Wang Jian's eyes flashed with sparkle, and then he wrote something quickly on the chopping board.
"Come here, please give this bamboo slip to General Zhang Han. Make sure there is no mistake!"
After writing some words, Wang Jian put it away and handed it to the oncoming cronies.
A few days later, the Chu army formed a formation.
"Is there still no news from Zhang Han?"
At this time, a tall man with a length of eight feet and a burly face was sitting on the main seat, holding a piece of information in his hand, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of solemnity.
Looking carefully, there were actually two pupils in this man's eyes that were rotating slightly, which looked extremely strange.
This person is none other than Xiang Yu, who proclaimed himself a general after massacring Song Yi!
"Replying to the general, there has been no reply yet. However, he was not embarrassed at all when we went to deliver the message. On the contrary, he was very polite to us. Why is this?"
At this moment, Xiang Yu's cronies looked at Xiang Yu, full of admiration and reported.
"Humph, what else can there be? It's just about saving face and not leaving any clues!"
Xiang Yu couldn't help but say disdainfully when he mentioned this.
"Now that Li Si is dead, his biggest backer is gone. No one in Qin can protect him. If he wants to survive, he has to hold on to his army and hold on to it."
"Now is a good time. If Zhang Han really wants to break away from Qin, it will be easy to handle."
Looking at the information in his hand, Xiang Yu continued.
"General, there is just a rumor. It seems that the man from Xianyang is back. He will kill Qin II and Zhao Gao, so we have to be on guard!"
At this moment, a general beside Xiang Yu expressed his worries.
If that person really comes back, I'm afraid the situation will reverse immediately, which is not optimistic.
Who knows, when he heard the news, he was almost scared out of his mind.
The power of that person is really too terrifying. If he is still alive in the world, I am afraid that the current coalition forces of various countries will really run as far as they can, hibernate when they should, and disperse when they should be dispersed.
No one dared to have any unrealistic ideas while he was still alive.
"Pedantry, how can you actually take such ridiculous news that confuses the public and affects the morale of the military to be true?"
After hearing what the general said, Xiang Yu couldn't help but stand up and said angrily.
Such nonsense and absurd things are obviously just Da Qin's last vain moans to retain the morale of the army. It is really ridiculous that some people would believe such low-level methods.
"If Ying Zheng was really still alive, how could he have watched Hu Hai massacre all his children, how could he have watched Hu Hai murder Zhongliang and bring disaster to the empire he was so proud of?"
"Ahem, what the general said is absolutely true. I'm just too worried!"
When the general saw Xiang Yu being so angry and ready to take out his Overlord Spear, he coughed twice and then said.
He was really worried that if it was too late, the general would kill him for disturbing the morale of the army.
"Hmph, please don't say any more words that disturb the morale of the army. Otherwise, my Overlord Spear will not recognize anyone."
Xiang Yu snorted coldly and sat down again.
Why didn't he receive such news?
Even he received much more than that.
According to the secret letters he received, not only Ying Zheng, but also Wang Jian, Meng Tian and the young master Fusu seemed to have reappeared in the court.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Now the arrow is on the string and he has to fire it. No matter whether such ridiculous news is true or false, he must treat it as false, otherwise this battle will not be fought at all.
Just because the threat of the First Emperor is too powerful, if the news that he is not dead is confirmed, the morale of all the coalition forces will plummet.
Now, as long as we seize the opportunity and completely destroy Wang Li's regular troops, Da Qin will have useless troops by then. Even if the First Emperor is alive, it will be unable to save the day!
"Come here, get the map."
Xiang Yu shouted loudly, and then two guards appeared in the camp carrying a huge map.
This map is clearly a topographic map around Julu City. The terrain around Julu City and the distribution of Da Qin's troops are clearly marked on it.
"Yingbu, General Pu, tomorrow you two will lead 20,000 elite troops to cross the Zhang River and attack the Qin army's corridor directly."
Xiang Yu pointed to the corridor on the map where the Qin army transported grain and grass, and said to the two generals beside him.
"If Zhang Han leads his army to defend the tunnel to the death, you two don't have to fight head-on. You can choose to retreat."
His move was to test whether Zhang Han really wanted to coexist with the Qin Dynasty.
He believed that Zhang Han was a smart man and would not do such stupid things.
Once Zhang Han allowed them to capture the tunnel, Wang Li's hundreds of thousands of troops would be like a tiger without teeth and could only be eaten by them.
"Yes, we will live up to the general's trust and complete the mission to the death."
Yingbu and General Pu looked at each other and responded in unison.
