And it all started with one person. Famous masters and generals should not stay in prison, and thousands of troops should avoid white robes. Chen Qingzhi finally let the world see his style.
The mighty Yizhou Army gathered a total of 250,000 troops out of Sichuan, but Xiang Yu suffered heavy losses in a thousand-mile attack at the beginning. How could these Yizhou Army generals survive this!
They were defeated by more than 200,000 people by 20,000 people. If they don't find a way to make up for it, the generals who participated in this battle will probably be left in the history books. From now on, they will be the best negative teaching materials. It is no exaggeration to say that they may be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Therefore, deputy general Chen Qingzhi immediately proposed that the main general Xu Shiji continue to attack Jiaozhi County as planned, while Chen Qingzhi decided to bypass Xiang Yu in Jiaozhi County and attack Yulin County and Cangwu County after that, cutting off the connection between Xiang Yu and Jingnan.
Moreover, Chen Qingzhi and Xu Shiji only asked for 7,000 troops, Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed soldiers.
Yulin County and Cangwu County only cut off the connection between Xiang Yu and Jingnan. If Xiang Yu has not reacted in time after Chen Qingzhi has reached this step, then Chen Qingzhi can go one step further and capture Hepu County as well, while Jiaozhi All contact with the outside world will be completely cut off, which is tantamount to closing the door and beating the dog.
Of course, even if Chen Qingzhi achieved this step, after all, Chen Qingzhi only had 7,000 men and would not be able to build a complete defense line in these three counties. As long as Xiang Yu's reaction speed is fast enough, he can easily break out of this prison.
However, Chen Qingzhi certainly did not do all this in vain, even if Xiang Yu really reacted quickly enough to break free from this cage. However, the most valuable Jiaozhi County in Jiaozhou is gone and will inevitably fall into the hands of Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji was also very surprised by Chen Qingzhi's boldness in formulating such a huge plan, but only asked him for 7,000 people. Even Xu Shiji never thought that Chen Qingzhi would really succeed, but after Chen Qingzhi's repeated requests, Xu Shiji finally agreed to Chen Qingzhi's suggestion.
The relationship between the two of them is not that good yet. If Chen Qingzhi's risky move succeeds, it will definitely be good. They will wash away the shame of their previous defeat, which will be beneficial to all the generals present. Even if it fails. There are only seven thousand people on the left and right.
Although the whereabouts of Chen Qingzhi's seven thousand people were well hidden at first, after entering Yulin County, clues inevitably emerged and exposed their whereabouts.
However, after Xiang Yu heard that there were only 7,000 men, he didn't take it too seriously. His uncle Xiang Liang was also a famous general with more than 10,000 regular troops, let alone another. Plus those second-line county soldiers.
Yu Ji in the rear also received news about Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 people in time, but he and Xiang Yu are still estranged. They have no power now. Even if they want to do something, they can't do anything. They can only send messages continuously. Yu Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang asked them to be more vigilant against Chen Qingzhi.
Thirty thousand people fight against seven thousand people, and these thirty thousand people are still on the defensive side, with strong cities. What do you think of this configuration? Those 30,000 people are all on the side of the flying dragon. How effective can Yu Ji’s reminder be?
However, Chen Qingzhi seemed to have divine help, conquering three cities in one day and ten cities in seven days. In just eleven days, the entire Yulin County had fallen into Chen Qingzhi's hands.
During this period, Xiang Liang personally led troops and horses to resist Chen Qingzhi. However, instead of defeating Chen Qingzhi, this general, who had a deep status in the Xiang family, was captured alive by Chen Qingzhi in a battle, and the soldiers and horses underneath were beaten and scattered in all directions.
Then, Chen Qingzhi cut off Xiang Liang's hand tendons and hamstrings, tied him to an ox cart and pushed him at the front of the army, serving as a human shield when the army attacked the city.
Who is Xiang Liang? He is Xiang Yu's uncle. Xiang Liang is being used as a human shield to block the front. Among the soldiers guarding the city, who has the courage to fire arrows!
If they really dare to shoot arrows, it would be better if nothing happens to Xiang Liang. Once something happens to Xiang Liang, with Xiang Yu's temper, he will smash them to pieces, and even the nine tribes involved will still be a small matter. Even their fathers, fellow villagers, relatives and friends all had to pay the price for this incident.
You can admit Xiang Yu's force, but it is absolutely impossible to deny his cruelty. In Chinese history, Xiang Yu was the first person to raise troops to massacre a city. He even massacred a city more than once in his life.
Bai Qi must have killed enough people before this, but it was all about killing prisoners after all! There is a big difference between killing prisoners and massacring a city. One is soldiers and the other is civilians!
With a nephew like Xiang Yu here, who would dare to risk Xiang Liang's crisis and resist? While Chen Qingzhi sent troops along the way, he also sent Ban Chao to move all the way. In just seven days, the entire Cangwu County was captured by Chen Qingzhi again. Among them, although Chen Qingzhi's contribution is great, Ban Chao's effect is definitely not small.
In seventeen days, less than twenty days, Chen Qingzhi, with only 7,000 men, directly captured the territory of two counties without losing the enemy's main force. After this news spread to the world , it can be said that it has blinded the eyes of people all over the world!
Before this, few people could achieve results like Chen Qingzhi's.
And based on this battle alone, Chen Qingzhi has been ranked among the top players in the world.
Of course, before this news spread throughout the world, the first ones to reach it must be Xu Shiji and Xiang Yu. Chen Qingzhi's battle almost equalized Xiang Yu's advantage caused by a thousand attacks in the previous battle.
When the news came, the frustrated morale of the Yizhou Army quickly recovered. After this battle, coupled with the deliberate propaganda from the top, all the Yizhou troops believed that the Xiang clan were just a group of paper tigers, and they had only luckily won the battle before when they were unprepared.
But now with General Chen Qingzhi, it was immediately revealed that these people were just a group of paper tigers.
As for Xiang Yu, he was furious after hearing the news. At the same time, he was even more worried about Xiang Liang's safety. There are not many people who are really concerned about Xiang Yu, and Xiang Liang is definitely one of the most important people among them. Xiang Yu's father died early. For Xiang Yu, he and Xiang Liang were uncle and nephew in name, but in reality they were father and son.
Moreover, when he received the news that Chen Qingzhi showed signs of heading to Hepu County next, Xiang Yu couldn't sit still at this time. If Hepu County was really gone, he would really be trapped in Jiaozhi County!
And the next battle between Xiang Yu and Chen Qingzhi was the most brutal battle until Xiang Yu's subsequent demise.
