If this was a world of immortals, the murderous aura of countless armies must have gathered over the old lands of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Song, Han, and Luo.
After defeating Xiang Liang, Zhang Han wrote a letter to Fusu analyzing the situation in the world.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Han bows his head.
From the death of the late emperor to the rebellion of Chen Sheng's rebels, although there were many rebellions in the world, the Qin Dynasty still controlled Guanzhong and Bashu.
This is the foundation for the former king to conquer the world. You are a monarch no less than the former king. Isn't this what God wants you to do to prosper the Qin Dynasty?
There are mountains and rivers inside and outside the land of the Three Jin Dynasties. If you get here, you can get the Central Plains. Wei and Han have been defeated, and the Chu and Zhao coalition forces are useless. Only Luogong Tomb is left to fight.
I will win for Your Majesty, and the Luo family will become extinct again, just like it did when His Majesty the First Emperor was alive. "
Zhang Han did not brag about destroying the Luo family in one battle. What he envisioned for Fusu was to destroy the heroes of Shandong.
At that time, the Luo family is just a family. Is it possible that one person can defeat the millions of Qin army?
They can only flee all over the world like the First Emperor did, or hide in some counties that the Qin Dynasty cannot control.
Fusu in Xianyang City looked at Zhang Han's memorial and was silent for a long time. Luo stood on the opposite side of him, which made Fusu always feel uncomfortable.
He had many ideals that he wanted to achieve, but in reality, people lived in a trap. In the end, his identity as the Emperor of Qin drove him to issue a general mobilization edict to the world.
"Princes, clansmen, and noble relatives:
I am safe, and all my ministers are safe.
It has been more than 800 years since our ancestors founded the country in Qinchuan, from a mere two hundred miles of land to a territory of five thousand miles in each direction. Is this something that can only be achieved by human power?
But when the Chen thief rebelled, he alone shouted loudly in the world, and the whole Shandong rebelled. At such a critical moment, all the clansmen and nobles were in Guanzhong. It was not until the King of Handan led the Lishan disciples that they could To pacify, this has to be said to be the mistake of the late emperor.
I rewarded the heroes of my clan based on my bloodline merits, and the chaos in Shandong was gradually calmed down. This is probably because God has favored the Qin Dynasty again.
The King of Handan sent me a letter to pacify Shandong, and I agreed. If the orders are inconsistent, there will be disaster. Considering the precedents of the state and Zhou Dynasty, I gave the Handan King to obey the emperor's orders, be ranked above all the kings, be granted the title of Taiwei, and be given the Qin Emperor's Sword. Control the important affairs of the military and state affairs in Shandong, and all princes must obey his orders.
This is what I can do. When the war is won, I will reward everyone from the generals to the soldiers. "
Zhang Han's whole body was shaking when he got this edict, which controlled the important affairs of the military and state in Shandong, and also had the Qin Emperor Sword, which allowed him to kill princes who did not obey orders first and then punish them.
Faced with such favor, Zhang Han could only look up to the sky and sigh: "As a courtier at this stage, is there anything else I can pursue?"
So the armies were mobilized, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on this land. Luoling commanded the armies of Shandong princes to harass Zhang Han. Both sides put maximum pressure on the other.
"Gong Luo, King Lu Qian of Jiaodong failed to retreat and was defeated by Zhang Han. His men were defeated. What should we do?"
When Luo Ling heard this, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he said coldly: "Let Qi Wangcheng receive his army, and once again warn the kings not to engage in a decisive battle with Zhang Han's main force."
The envoy quickly retreated, and Luo Ling walked out of the room, looked at the bright night sky with stars, and began to calculate the winning rate of the decisive battle between the two sides. The so-called military strategy is to continuously increase the winning rate of one's side before the war.
Under Luo Ling's command during these days, the Qin army's losses were naturally greater, but the Qin army's foundation was extremely strong, which was not comparable to that of the Shandong princes.
In particular, Zhang Han was not an idle person. The kings of Shandong relied more on their blood status to hold high positions. Among them, the ones with high tactical literacy were their ministers. What happened to King Jiaodong this time would happen sooner or later.
After calculating in his mind for a while, Luo Ling's frown gradually relaxed, "It's almost done. We just need a bait now, let's go to the royal city."
The one who can be used as bait without being eaten, and who also listens to Luo Ling very much, is Qi Wangcheng, especially his brother Jiaodong Wang Qian who just made a mistake and is busy trying to fight back. He will definitely agree and is the most suitable candidate. .
Sure enough, King Qi Cheng directly patted his chest and promised that he would complete Luo Ling's mission, "Luo Gong, the city knows that the reason why you are friendly to the city is because of King Xianmin's heroic act of killing Sheji.
If the city wants to regain Qi, it is not enough to just follow the trend like now. It must pay blood and sacrifices. The Lu family has helped protect the country for a thousand years, and is deeply influenced by the Luo family. It is very clear that nobility is always accompanied by sacrifices. You Feel free to worry. "
Luo Ling's eyes were very complicated when he heard this. The person who was most influenced by the Luo family in this world was the Lu family. Maybe it was because too much blood was mixed with it, or maybe it was because the generations of ancestors were too heroic.
The Lu family may be no different from other nobles when they are alone, but as long as they stand together with the Luo family, regardless of their IQ and ability, their awareness will rise immediately, which is very reliable.
Xiang Yu was busy sharpening his sword, so Luo Ling naturally would not place all his hopes on Xiang Yu.
In Luo Ling's view, Xiang Yu is a sharp knife for executing his own strategies. He expects Xiang Yu to be like his ancestor Wu Gong, who can kill generals, seize flags, and entangle Zhang Han's main army from the front.
The remaining kings will follow Luo Ling's plan to attack other princes of the Qin Dynasty, cut off Zhang Han's wings, and eventually hunt Zhang Han.
Zhang Han sensed the movements of Luo Ling and others, which was also what he wanted to do. Although he had taken the initiative and achieved a lot of results these days, the huge Qin Dynasty was really short of talents.
Among the princes granted by Fusu, there were really few who could be used in a big way. Under the repeated attacks from the princes of Shandong, they suffered a lot of losses. If this continues, Zhang Han felt that there was no need to fight the decisive battle, and he could directly Just return it to Korea and renovate it.
The only difference between the two sides was the choice of the location for the decisive battle. In the end, Luoling came out ahead. Zhang Han led the army to Handan County, and hundreds of thousands of troops spread out among the cities in the county.
…
King Lu Cheng of Qi, commanding the Qi army, was surrounded by Zhang Han for more than ten miles outside Handan City. He said to his subordinates: "Gentlemen, I am trapped here today. I have been married to Luo Gong for thousands of years. He will definitely meet me." We will lead the army to rescue, but if we don’t act bravely, we may not be able to survive the rescue.”
Although this was Lu Cheng's deliberate bait, there was still a possibility of death in battle. Everyone had awe-inspiring expressions on their faces and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we must punish the violent Qin Dynasty. I will have no choice but to die effectively."
The Qi army formed a formation with their chariots, but the Qin people still used bows and crossbows to clear the way. This attack method was a devastating blow to the unarmored army, and a single mistake could cause huge casualties.
Naturally, the Qi army was not to be outdone and fought back from a high position. However, under siege, the morale of the Qi soldiers was greatly affected. If the Qin soldiers passed over the corpses of their comrades, the Qi soldiers would be shot. The body was moved away, and blood flowed on the ground, which soon formed small puddles.
Zhang Han advanced only for a moment before he found that the resistance was very strong, so he ordered the troops to stop the attack and begin the real siege. In this place with no village or store, Qi State's food and grass could not hold on. As long as it did not go out for ten months, Qi State's army Either starve to death, or go out and fight the Qin army on your own.
As the Qi army led Zhang Han completely to Handan, the princes of Shandong, under the command of Luo Ling, began to fight the princes of the Qin army in several directions.
Surrounding Handan City, in the vast Zhao land, there are flags flying everywhere, the sound of rumbling chariots, and elite cavalry galloping among them. The cold armor is bone-chilling under the sunlight.
Xiang Yu rode a tall horse. It was a divine horse with shiny hair and extraordinary handsomeness. In the end, Xiang Yu wrestled it to the ground and finally surrendered.
Luo Ling looked at the 30,000 elite Chu troops and said loudly: "Mr. Chu, we are here to rescue the King of Qi. If we can win, we will win. If we can't, we will stalemate. With all the heroes from Shandong joining together, we will definitely win in the end. This battle must be won by us." Qin Ting did not dare to look eastward at the land of Han and Zhao."
Xiang Yu raised his head and laughed, "Don't worry, Mr. Luo. Wherever Ji's soldiers point his finger, there will be no winner, not just in the land of Han and Zhao. Zhang Han will be defeated in this battle, and the three Jins will be in Ji's hands. You Let’s see.”
The words were full of confidence. Luo Ling heard the words and said with a smile: "If Chu Gong can really defeat the main force of the Qin court in one battle, he will go to King Bingsu and ask for the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to drive him to break through Hangu and enter Guanzhong. This world will be together." The position of Lord is yours, Mr. Chu."
The common master of the world!
The light in Xiang Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he laughed loudly and proudly: "If Ji can become the common master of the world, he will definitely let everyone in the world sing the grace of King Su every day, even though Ji is Luo Bayanggong. Descendants, but if you become the co-lord of the world, you must still be qualified to sacrifice to King Su."
When Xiang Yu said this, Luo Ling was a little stunned. Although Xiang Yu's words revealed a strong ambition and wanted to take away the status of the descendants of King Su, these words still made his thoughts swirl in his heart and he looked up. Looking at the sky, King Su didn't respond, which meant that King Su didn't care about this.
The belief of King Su is very complicated. In the eyes of ordinary people in Shandong and Guizhou, King Su is God. They have not read books and do not know the original intention of King Su. They only think that King Su is the name of God. Therefore, "May King Su be the same as God." "In" is equal to "God bless".
But in the eyes of educated people and the eyes of Luo people, there is a big difference between the two. King Su is a richer image. Although he is one with heaven, his emotions are richer. In a more academic way, he is the personification of heaven. .
Luo Ling took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Su Wang is like the sky. It will not change based on the amount of faith. Su Wang will bless everyone who believes from the heart until the end of life."
Xiang Yu clamped his horse's belly, stepped on the snow and Wu Zui began to pace in place, he said solemnly: "Luo Gong, King Su is like the sky, so this is the sky that wants the Chu Kingdom to prosper, and King Su wants the Xiang family to prosper."
Luo Ling looked at the heroic Xiang Yu and said loudly: "Chu Gong, you are the leader of the army and you have come down to earth. King Su will be with you, leading the Chu army to pursue the position of the common leader of the world. That is the place where thousands of Chu people What you have wanted for years is now right in front of you.
If you can really defeat Zhang Han and make the Chu Kingdom unprecedentedly glorious, even the ancestors of the Xiong family named Mi will congratulate you. "
Wu Zhui began to run forward slowly, and Xiang Yu's voice came, "Xiang has a clear conscience. Even though he is standing in the ancestral temple of the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom, he can still be proud to say that he is a Chu person and is worthy of his honor." The late kings and ancestors.”
As Xiang Yu appeared in front of the Chu army, cheers could not be heard. For ordinary Chu people, Xiang Yu was an excellent lord. These ordinary soldiers did not need high-ranking officials to show their power, and preferred generals who could share the joys and sorrows with them.
Xiang Yu was very kind to his soldiers. He gave him food and wine, and was willing to help the soldiers when they were in trouble. Therefore, he had a high prestige among ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers were willing to die for him. As the saying goes, those who work together win, and most of the military situation factions are like this. This unites the morale of the army.
Xiang Yu rode Wu Zhui in front of the Chu army and said loudly: "The Chu people are attacking the unruly people and punishing the Qin Dynasty. This is the decree of King Taiyi Su. We came out from Jiangdong to avenge the Chu people. You are all in this world." My bravest sons, we are crossing the Zhang River today. In front of us is Handan, where there are 500,000 Qin people. Are you afraid?"
The order was passed down one after another, and a loud shout came, "Don't be afraid!"
There were actually many Luo people in Xiang Yu's army, and many Luo people who grew up in Chu. After these people migrated and fled to Jiangdong, which had been ruled by the Xiang family for hundreds of years, they quickly integrated into the local area and intermarried with each other. But they still harbor hatred for the Qin Dynasty in their hearts, and now they can't wait to follow Xiang Yu to destroy Qin.
Xiang Yu led his army to cross the Zhang River. This large river flowing from the Taihang Mountains is one of the sources of the water system in Handan County, Zhao State.
When Zhang Han learned that a Chu army of only 30,000 people was coming towards him, he looked around in disbelief and said, "Thirty thousand people?
The Chu thief Xiang Liang, with 100,000 men, was defeated at the hands of a few men, but 30,000 men dared to come and die? Did he think that he was a brave warrior from the Luo Kingdom, one capable of equaling ten? "
Although the combat effectiveness of the Chu army surpassed all other states in Shandong, in Zhang Han's view, there was no essential difference. The Qin Dynasty's army around Handan had a full 400,000 troops. Even if some of them wanted to besiege the Qi army, they could not defeat a single army. It is too simple to say that the Chu army is just a partial division.
In the tent, Zhang Han held the Emperor Qin Sword given by Fusu and said seriously: "Where are the King of Xingyang, King of Jinzhong, and Marquis Yi?"
The two kings and one marquis came out directly, and Zhang Han said loudly: "With King Xingyang as the leader, we will lead 100,000 troops and annihilate the Chu army."
Although Zhang Han did not take this Chu army seriously, he still went all out when selecting generals. Prince Ying of Xingyang, Baili of Jinzhong, and Wangli of Yihou were all outstanding generals in the army.
Especially Yihou Wang Li, the deputy of the Great Wall Army, was born in the Wang family, the second general of the Qin Dynasty. His grandfather Wang Jian was the number one hero in conquering the Six Kingdoms, and his father Wang Bi was also a famous general. He also married a princess from the Ying clan, the daughter of the First Emperor. , Wang is a genuine cousin.
If Wang Jian hadn't retreated too quickly, and the First Emperor wanted to weaken the presence and influence of the Wang family, so he promoted the Meng family, the current number one general in Great Qin would have belonged to the Wang family.
After Fusu came to power, he reused his relatives and relatives. Although Meng Tian had been crowned king now, Wang Li felt that he still had a chance. After all, Fusu was his uncle. According to Fusu's character, wouldn't his nephew be closer to him than Meng Tian, an outsider?
The three people quickly took the military symbols to the military camp to mobilize troops. Although they were led by Prince Xingyang, they were actually led by Wang Li. After all, Wang Li was the real man who had experienced battles.
"Tap tap tap!"
Xiang Yu's army of 30,000 mixed infantry, cavalry and chariot soldiers crossed the river, and their morale was high. Wang Li was not a commander who could lead a hundred thousand people, and it was impossible for a hundred thousand people to be deployed head-on on the battlefield.
With more than 10,000 people, they were connected to each other. Naturally, these 100,000 people dispersed and were led by three people. Then they all followed Wang Li's command to encircle the Chu army from all directions.
Xiang Yu naturally knew that this was the scene. He sent three troops and horses to contact the armies led by the three men. He immediately became acutely aware that one of the armies was the most chaotic, and it was Bai Li, the king of Jinzhong.
Xiang Yu raised the sharp spear in his hand, and immediately took advantage of the Qin army's unsteady footing to win a battle first, "Chu people, follow me and charge!"
Xiang Yu took the lead, and his personal guards followed him. Then they saw their master smashing into the crowd like a huge stone, and they were instantly turned upside down.
Countless weapons were smashed by Xiang Yu's huge force. No one under his hand could resist a move. Instantly, the personal guards rushed into the gap created by Xiang Yu, and the chariots rushed in. Then the cavalry broke in, wearing Armored infantry charged behind the chariot.
Xiang Yu headed directly towards a general. The Qin general was too close to him, less than a hundred meters away. There were only more than a hundred soldiers in a straight line between them. To Xiang Yu, this distance was equivalent to a dead man. , more than a hundred people are just decorations.
Xiang Yu rushed straight past, waving his spear without stopping, breaking bones and tendons at every turn, as if the devil had come to the world. The people of Qin were horrified and did not dare to stop them when they reached the back. The Qin general watched helplessly as the other general rushed towards his own In front of him, he can be regarded as a brave general, and he will step forward with a roar.
Xiang Yu laughed wildly and said, "Looking for death." He stretched out his spear and stabbed. The speed was so fast and the force was so strong that General Qin couldn't react and felt his heart sink. Xiang Yu looked at the dead soul under the spear with disdain. Since his debut, , there is no difference between anyone in front of him, whether they are ordinary soldiers or so-called generals, they are not the same enemy.
For him, killing generals and capturing flags is as simple as eating and drinking. Killing hundreds of people by hand does not make him feel tired at all. The appearance of such a person on the battlefield is a huge blow to the enemy's morale. Anyway, Now this battalion of Qin people dispersed with a loud roar. The Chu army roared loudly, and each one fought for ten. They followed Xiang Yu and directly blew up the battalion. Xiang Yu drove the troops of this battalion to rush towards the others like a sharp sword. Each camp.
"Don't stop, charge with me!"
Xiang Yu's battle strategy is to be fast, use the fast to defeat the slow, concentrate his troops, use the strong to bully the weak, disrupt the enemy's formation, and then continue to kill the generals and capture the flag, completely disrupting the opponent's command system, disrupting the entire enemy army, and finally directly Attack the enemy's commander and behead him.
It's very simple and very difficult. Simple means that the tactics are very simple, but except for generals like Xiang Yu who have an extremely abnormal personal force value and an extremely keen sense of smell on the battlefield, it is difficult for others to succeed.
Xiang Yu is really too powerful. Although he does not have the world's most powerful army like the Luo Kingdom's brave warriors, the elites of the Chu Kingdom, under the leadership of his human-level force, are not inferior to the established Luo Kingdom's brave warriors in terms of combat effectiveness. Chu people say that one is worth ten is not an adjective, but a fact.
The entire Qin army camp was knocked upside down by Xiang Yu. It was really an unlucky time for them to appear. They had just barely gained a foothold when they encountered the Chu army with high morale and peak energy. Twenty thousand men under the command of Jinzhong Wang Baili Many people were almost penetrated in a short period of time.
Yihou Wang Li and Xingyang Prince Ying quickly commanded the army to come to support. Xiang Yu heard from the scouts that Qin troops were coming to help from both sides, and he almost laughed out loud. What kind of stupid general is this?
They dared to support the friendly forces after they were bombed. The premise of support was that the friendly forces could still stabilize. Now this Qin army was completely out of control. The Chu army was hunting the Qin army that was running around, while Xiang Yu led his final troops. The elite personal guards rushed in front of Jinzhong King Bai Li, killed Bai Li's personal guards, and directly killed Bai Li without thinking of leaving him alive.
Wang Li and Ziying who came in a hurry saw this scene and were instantly furious. Unexpectedly, the King of Jinzhong, who had been chatting and laughing with each other half a day ago, died directly in front of them. The most important thing was that the general of the Chu army seemed to have overcome many obstacles. The soldier cast his cold gaze on the two of them.
Naturally, Xiang Yu would not stop. Ziying and Wang Li soon discovered that they had arrived too fast. There was no order or discipline on this chaotic battlefield.
Wang Li was quite experienced and immediately ordered his soldiers to form a formation to withstand the impact of the defeated army. Ziying actually chose to ask his soldiers to step back slightly to avoid the oncoming soldiers. When Xiang Yu saw it, his eyes lit up and he immediately let him go. The Chu army shouted: "The Qin people are defeated. They retreat to escape."
In the years when communications were not smooth, organizing the retreat of tens of thousands of people was always a very risky matter, and it could easily turn from retreat to rout.
The Qin people under Ziying were panic-stricken when they saw their comrades running away. Now they heard their commander ordering them to retreat, and when they heard the Chu army shouting, they immediately became confused and the military orders were inconsistent.
How could Xiang Yu let go of his keen battlefield intuition? The whole army immediately pressed forward, throwing the Qin people into even more confusion.
As soon as the front army retreated, the broken troops attacked, and the whole army exploded. Ziying looked miserable when he saw this, knowing that he had made a big mistake, and wanted to make up for it but didn't know what to do.
Once the army becomes chaotic, it cannot be controlled by the generals. Xiang Yu led the Chu army to attack the Qin people. Prince Ying of Xingyang soon saw the Chu general who killed the King of Jinzhong coming towards him. When he saw Fei Xiang Yu, a human being, knew how the King of Jinzhong died just now.
Wang Li did not expect that the situation would suddenly deteriorate to this point. The king of Jinzhong and the king of Xingyang were killed, and the 60,000 troops trampled each other, causing countless casualties. Such a great victory in a short period of time, the morale of the Chu army was even higher. It was strong, and Wang Li had only 40,000 troops under his command. They were frightened by the power of the Chu army and trembled.
Xiang Yu killed two kings in a row and was covered in blood. He felt so relieved that he went towards Wang Li's troops. He defeated three camps in a row and killed them all to seize the flag. The Qin soldiers were in an uproar and did not dare to look directly. Wang Li saw that the situation was gone. The Chu army was coming to kill him. Thinking that both Ziying and Bai Li were dead, he could not live alone, and thinking of Fusu's trust, he could only commit suicide in grief.
Xiang Yu picked up Wang Li's body, looked at the Qin soldiers fleeing in all directions, and turned towards Handan City. He did not forget that Zhang Han was his target.
————
Xiang Yu then led 30,000 troops across the river to attack Zhang Han. Qin generals Ziying, Wang Li, and Bai Li were ordered to stop Qin's 100,000 troops.
Yu said: "The hatred between Chu and Qin can be learned from the sun. If you don't retaliate, you will die. The ship is sunk and the cauldron is broken to show your determination to die. Why?"
Chu Jun said: "I respect the public's words."
The Chu army held the grain for three days, and one was worth ten. Yu stepped on the Qin camp, killed Bai Li and Ziying, and forced Wang Li to die.
He also led his troops northward to attack Zhang Han. ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Xiang Yu"
