The water of the Zhang River flows endlessly, just like the years, flowing forward forever. The river has been washed clean by the blood. The pile of corpses that cut off the river has disappeared, as if nothing happened, but the princes will not forget that history I will never forget the shocking battle that took place here.
Luo Ling and Xiang Yu stood on the shore with their hands folded. Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Luo Gong, I want to be the co-lord of the world. After I advance into Guanzhong and overthrow the Qin court, I will restore the country for you in Zhaocheng and scatter all the kingdoms." Some Luo people from Xia can also move back."
Luo Ling shook his head and said: "No need. King Su said that Luo Kingdom should not have appeared, and it cannot be rebuilt by human power now."
Xiang Yu naturally didn't understand. In fact, Luo Ling himself had doubts, but he was already extremely wise and no one in the world could surpass him, so he didn't ask.
When Xiang Yu heard that Luo Ling was not prepared to return to the country, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say with a hint of joy in his voice: "Luo Gong, Zhang Han, that Zhuzi, escaped alone in this battle. Even if he gathers the Qin army and collapses, I'm afraid that Not much. After this battle, how long do you think Bao Qin can hold on?"
Xiang Yu's great victory, under Luo Ling's arrangement, achieved astonishing results. Although the princes' army could not defeat Zhang Han, it was still possible to defeat the Qin army.
Xiang Yu was best at fighting rout battles, but with Luo Ling's arrangement and the help of the princes, this war turned into a battle of annihilation.
The main force of the Qin army was almost wiped out in one battle, and the entire Shandong was wiped out. This battle completely changed the offensive and defensive shape, just like the Zhao State after Changping, unless the Shandong princes made fatal mistakes and committed suicide. Get up, otherwise Qin Ting will only die slowly.
This is why the princes said that Xiang Yu's achievements in this battle were no less than that of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty in the battle of Muye.
Luo Ling looked at the long flowing river and said calmly: "The situation has been decided, everything should be over. No one can make more achievements than you, King Xiang. You are the future co-owner of the world. You should think about what you want to do." How to plan for Zhuxia in the future."
Xiang Yu said with a cold light in his eyes: "It's not over yet."
When Luo Ling heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Xiang Yu and then said: "King Xiang, you look very much like a person."
Xiang Yu asked curiously: "Who is it? There are not many people in the world who can compare with Ji."
Luo Ling did not answer, "I just feel that we are similar in some aspects. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will tell you."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Xiang Yu frowned and felt a little unhappy. He thought that Luo Ling's attitude was not what he should have towards the common master of the world. But in the end, he suppressed the thought that wanted to explode and stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brow. .
Luo Ling's heart was filled with coldness. Xiang Yu said just now that everything was not over yet. He immediately understood what Xiang Yu wanted to do. He saw the shadow of the First Emperor in Xiang Yu, the same single man and the same domineering attitude.
…
In Xingyang City, Zhang Han wrote to Fusu in a sad mood to report the current situation, "Handan was defeated, the princes were defeated, and the country was in turmoil. I really feel ashamed of your trust and kindness, but I want to say that the Chu thief Xiang Ji is a rare military master and general who has never been seen in the ages. For the present plan, we can only defend the city and never fight with him in the wild."
What Zhang Han didn't know was that just when his letter was delivered to Fusu, another news also reached Xianyang.
…
The green mountains are lush and lush, and there is not a single sound of birdsong among the mountains. Looking down from the sky, there are countless twisted corpses lying in the mountain col, with white bones piercing out from the corpses, everywhere. It was a mess of cyan boulder fragments, countless black broken arrows, broken white feathers falling, broken armor stuck on the ground, blood blending into the mountain spring, turning into a red blood spring, weapons were randomly scattered. Abandoned on the ground, countless corpses were smashed into flesh between the cliffs, red and white mixed together. It was an extremely tragic scene.
Han Xin was wearing a general's armor and a sharp sword on his waist. He looked at his masterpiece in front of him, his face full of confidence and heroic appearance. Behind him were Fan Kuai and others. Although they already knew the result, they still didn't dare. I believe it, looking at the young man in front of me, I can't help but feel ashamed.
Liu Bang was so excited that he pulled Luo Yi and said happily: "Ziyu, Han Xin really lived up to our expectations, annihilating tens of thousands, Meng Tian can no longer pose a threat, completely eliminating our army's worries, and we can march to Guanzhong calmly. "
Luo Yi was also secretly speechless. Looking at Han Xin's battle against Meng Tian, the whole process can only be described as a fight. Meng Tian is also a famous general of the Huns in the north. He is a genius in commanding troops, but when facing Han Xin, It can only be said that there is a gap between geniuses.
Although assisted by the generals of Peixian County, Han Xin led a group of new soldiers who had never seen blood, and it was beyond everyone's expectations to beat Meng Tian's elite Qin army like this.
No matter whether it is from the arrangement before the war or the dispatch during the war, Han Xing's soldiers protruded an antelope horn, and there is no trace to be found.
All kinds of incredible ideas and extremely flexible scheduling can always fill up the reserve team at critical moments and key positions.
He hardly wastes the strength of any partial army and can maximize the power of the entire army. Such a level of command will make the generals in Peixian County stare out and wonder how they do it.
Front hall.
Luo Cai's charming face was filled with a smile. He looked at Han Xin in front of him and said, "This is success and fame. Based on the reputation created by Meng Tian, the whole world will know your name, and you will stay in the history books."
Han Xin said brightly: "This is not enough. Xin still remembers what Cainiang said at the beginning. Only princes, generals and ministers can help. Xin will not forget it."
Luo Cai was stunned and said, "Those are just words of encouragement. Why do you take it seriously?"
Han Xin said nothing, just looked at Luo Cai and smiled.
Luo Cai realized in an instant that Han Xin's intention was not with Luo but with himself, and he immediately said coquettishly: "You..."
At this time, Liu Bang's bodyguard came to the front hall and said respectfully with an expression of reverence: "General, my lord, please come to the camp to discuss matters."
When Han Xin arrived at the camp, he saw that everyone's faces were strange, excited and sad at the same time. It seemed that something happened that made everyone very confused.
Luo Yi was the only one with obvious joy on his face and no sadness at all. Han Xinxin thought to himself that it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
When Liu Bang saw Han Xin walking in, he quickly asked him to sit down, and Han Xin sat under Luo Yi.
He and Luo Cai are basically coming to an end now, and Luo Yi is also very aware of this matter, but Luo Yi is not the head of the family after all, and Luo Ling still needs to give his final nod to make it happen.
After Han Xin sat down, Liu Bang said directly: "In Handan County, Chu Gong Xiang Yu first defeated Wang Li and others and killed two kings. The next day, he defeated Qin general Zhang Han. In nine battles in one day, he killed four kings and five princes. He was so powerful. The world was shaken, and the princes in Handan County considered Xiang Yu's meritorious service and elected him as the common leader of the world. After destroying Qin, he will rule the world."
Then tell everyone the news about the Central Plains.
Han Xin immediately knew why everyone had such expressions. Xiang Yu's defeat of the Qin army was naturally a good thing. The princes of Shandong were all rebels. Now that Xiang Yu had basically driven the Qin Dynasty into the ground in one battle, at least Qin would not be destroyed. Problem.
As for Xiang Yu becoming the co-lord of the world, the Liu Bang Group did not originally regard the co-lord of the world as a strategic goal, and there was no competition.
But Xiang Yu was a little unexpected. His 400,000-strong army was wiped out by him. If it came all the way to the west, whether Liu Bang could enter Guanzhong first became a question. Everyone present remembered that when the alliance was formed, Xiang Yu He personally expressed his ambition to advance to Guanzhong.
Han Xin thought for a moment and said slowly: "Zhang Han and Meng Tian were defeated one after another, and the Qin Dynasty was over. However, Zhang Han is a famous general after all. If he occupies Xingyang and the subsequent granaries, unless our army attacks from Nanyang and cooperates to cut off the grain road, Otherwise, Zhang Han can still hold on."
In Zhang Han's previous idea, the one who occupied Nanyang County was Meng Tian who had eliminated Liu Bang, so that the important town of Xingyang would be unbreakable.
But now Liu Bang is behind him. If Liu Bang gives up entering Guanzhong and instead attacks him with Xiang Yu, Zhang Han will not be able to defend it.
Liu Bang was very hesitant. He didn't know what he should do now. Should he follow Xiang Yu and beat the drowned dog to please the future leader of the world, or implement his previous plan, break into the pass and become king by virtue of his merits.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Luo Yi said: "Pei Gong, the eldest brother's mausoleum is with Xiang Yu in Handan. I think Xingyang can be defeated in a day or night. If you capture the thief, capture the king first. There are still millions of people in Guanzhong. If you can't do it cleanly, If you kill the Qin royal family, and then there will be another series of wars, it will be detrimental to the world, so please also invite Pei Gong to enter Guanzhong."
Liu Bang's eyes lit up. What Luo Yi said was exactly what he wanted. Everyone wanted to enter Guanzhong and support Liu Bang as king, so naturally they would not object, so they all agreed.
After everyone dispersed, Han Xin asked with some doubts: "Sir, Xingyang is an important town. Even if Xin leads the army to attack, there will probably be a stalemate against Zhang Han for a long time. Why do you say that Xingyang can be defeated overnight?
Is it just to let Pei Gong enter Guanzhong?
Probably not, that's not Luo's style. "
Luo Yi heard the words and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Xiang Yu will soon defeat Xingyang, pass Luoyang, and enter Guanzhong. Whether Pei Gong can become the king of Guanzhong depends on you. I'm afraid there will be a lot of tough battles in Guanzhong after that. You have to hurry up."
Han Xin was puzzled, and then recalled that his future brother was a legendary figure who retreated from the Qin army with a single word on the bank of the river.
Although Luo Yi has not shown the slightest ability in this area since he entered Pei Gong's service, he is a member of the Luo family after all. Who knows if he will?
Luo Yi is still like this. Luo Gongling, who enjoys high prestige in the entire Luo family, is the head of the Luo family, so it can probably be like this, right?
…
Fusu received the news of Zhang Han and Meng Tian's defeat at the same time. His mental endurance was obviously unable to accept this cruel fact, and he fainted directly. The officials quickly stepped forward to wake him up.
After waking up, Fusu looked at the two battle reports on the desk, recalled the past, and whispered softly: "The kings of the seven generations of the Qin Dynasty were brave and brave, and the kings of various countries were prosperous for one generation, and sometimes they were weak for two generations.
All loyal ministers and generals like Li Mu died at the hands of the king, and eventually the country collapsed.
If God didn't love Da Qin, why could only Da Qin produce a Mingjun?
When his father died and Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, the power of the Qin Dynasty cascaded down like a river and a waterfall.
In the past, the talents of the six countries gathered under the command of Da Qin, and seven successive generations of British lords came and succeeded, and only then did Da Qin rule the world.
But now there are many talented people among the remnants of the rebels in Shandong, while the Qin Dynasty has the world but lacks many talents, so the current offensive and defensive forces are trading.
The current Great Qin is much like the Shandong kingdoms of the past, and how much the vitality of the Shandong rebels is like the Great Qin of the past?
Since I came to the throne, I have used benevolent governance, and the people in Guanzhong are loved by me, but I still can't stop the fall of Great Qin, and Great Qin is still approaching its destruction step by step.
The King of Handan and the King of Linzi were both famous generals. Even in the years when the Qin Dynasty dominated the world, they were noble enough, but now they were defeated miserably.
Gentlemen, why is this? "
What Fu Su said in a state of confusion made all the officials in the palace pale. The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. It had only been so long since Da Qin had unified the world, but the previously invincible Da Qin army had suffered huge defeats in succession. , the Shandong countries that were previously full of incompetent people now have many talented people.
Everyone could not help but think of Luo's message.
Acting violently, being despised by God, and running out of energy, there is nothing more frightening than this.
"His Majesty!
Although the world is full of energy, the power of Da Qin has gradually improved since you came to the throne. At least the people of Guanzhong are still willing to support you. "
Fusu was slightly inspired after hearing this. His benevolent policies may not spread throughout the Qin Dynasty through many officials, but there is still no problem in affecting the surrounding areas of Xianyang City.
And although he was somewhat depressed due to the tragic failure, he never thought about giving up. He was not only for Da Qin, but also for the world.
When Meng Yunzi was alive, he often told him that he should be a benevolent king and free the people of the world from the heavy Qin laws. Now that Meng Yunzi is dead, Fusu has not changed his ambition. He is still the same as before.
"Reply to the King of Handan and the King of Linzi. If you can follow the rules, retreat to Hangu Pass. The land in the pass is naturally dangerous and there are millions of people living there. We can still fight."
Although Zhang Han and Meng Tian suffered a huge failure, Fusu knew that it was not that Zhang Han and Meng Tian were incompetent. Their abilities had been demonstrated in the past. Even if they were punished, Qin Ting could not find them. There are generals who are stronger than these two people.
Zhang Han received Fusu's reply and was convinced that as long as Xianyang was still willing to support him, he would still have hope of making a comeback. The world's largest granary was basically still in the hands of Da Qin, and he could kill the princes of Shandong.
Liu Bang led his army to pretend to leave Nanyang and go to Luoyang to cut off the grain road to Xingyang. This was also within the expectations of Meng Tian and Zhang Han. Meng Tian led his army to build a defense line in Luoyang.
But he didn't know that these soldiers heading to Luoyang were all newly recruited recruits, and they were completely fake.
This was Han Xin's strategy. The fictitious soldiers held back Meng Tian and Zhang Han, and even confused the Shandong princes, telling them not to rush to attack Hangu Pass, and secretly led the real elite army to attack Wuguan.
With the passage of time, the status of Hangu Pass gradually decreased, and the importance of Wuguan gradually increased. Fusu naturally placed his trusted descendants of the Gong family with the surname Ying as guards here.
Faced with the sudden arrival of Liu Bang's army, they were frightened and hurriedly organized a defense. They were soon attacked by Han Xin and Liu Bang's brave old men.
But Han Xin really couldn't be happy. A total of 20,000 people died in this siege battle. There were no such heavy casualties in the previous annihilation battles of Mengtian.
Liu Bang was afraid and said: "The general said before that Ji would lose most of his military power under Wuguan. Ji was still half-believed. Today, when I saw the general commanding the siege, I realized that I had better compliment Ji. If it were really based on the strength of that day, If we attack, we will definitely be bloody and unable to enter the martial arts pass."
Far more powerful than before the victory over Meng Tian, coupled with Han Xing's troops who far exceeded Liu Bang's commanding ability, plus an unexpected sneak attack, the three combined together suffered a lot of casualties. If the previous plan had been followed, there would have been heavy casualties. Maybe there's no progress yet.
Zhang Liang said with some pity: "If Wuguan had been guarded before, Liang would have been sure to win Wuguan without any bloodshed. However, after Emperor Fusu came to the throne, many important passers were replaced."
Zhang Liang was still able to run around without incident when he assassinated Qin Shihuang, just because he had many friends, and he also had a deep understanding of many people within the Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, Fusu's rise to power made many of his arrangements come to nothing.
Han Xin quickly transferred some of the troops from Wuguan to supplement his own strength. He was not worried that these Qin people would rebel, because the people he selected were all whose families were not in Guanzhong, and some were even in Wuguan. Controlling a soldier's family will control the soldier. This is a very useful method in extraordinary times.
Liu Bang followed Zhang Liang's suggestion, asked Han Xin's opinion, and decided to attack Xianyang with light equipment before the news of the fall of Wuguan had reached Xianyang.
Xianyang City basically has no city walls. The last step for Liu Bang to become king is to defeat the camp deployed in Lantian. It is the last resistance force besides the palace guards. As long as Lantian can be defeated with lightning speed, In the camp, Emperor Fusu could only surrender or commit suicide.
Everyone knows that this is the most critical moment. There is only one war left before Liu Bang becomes the king of Guanzhong. As long as this war is won, they, the common people of Guizhou in the past, can follow Liu Bang's chickens and dogs to heaven.
The positions of princes, generals and prime ministers are just around the corner.
————
When Huaiyin defeated Mengtian, Emperor Gaozu wanted to defeat Wuguan. When he heard about the great victory of Handan, he also wanted to join forces to attack Zhanghan and Mengtian.
Marquis Ying said: "Zhang Han and Meng Tian were no more than a pawn. He captured the thieves and captured the king. He defeated Wuguan and entered the pass. He supported Su's death. Han Tian died and forced him with force. This is not what a wise man would do."
Emperor Gaozu took Huaiyin as his general and attacked Luoyang in the open to relieve his preparations. He secretly sent elite soldiers to the Wuguan pass overnight, defeated it in one day, and entered the pass. ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu"
