Chapter 145: Qin's defeat

Kistaria.

The river in early July roars and roars, flowing east into the sea with an unyielding momentum, never returning.

Since the Battle of Julu, General Zhang Han has been commanding nearly 200,000 Qin to garrison here for more than six months. The situation they face is getting worse day by day. Under Xiang Yu's step by step, Zhang Han fell into a dilemma of wanting to advance but not retreating but not fighting.

When Wang Li was just defeated, Zhang Han, who felt the pressure of the court, took the initiative to attack, but at this time the initiative in the battle situation was no longer in his control. Xiang Yu was quite patient with the provocation of the Qin army. If he found a fighter opportunity, he would dispatch elite troops to defeat the Qin army. If he had no chance, he would stick to the defense and let the enemy have no chance to take advantage of it. This situation still did not change much until Fu Ge led his army to attack Xianyang.

The general Zhang Han, who had been performing well in the process of extermination of the rebels, suddenly seemed to be unable to command the battle in front of Xiang Yu, the opponent. No matter what tricks he took, the final result was the same - failure. After six months of confrontation, Zhang Han finally exhausted his courage to fight again.

Battle——, why do you fight with Xiang Yu?

It was also during the past six months that compared with the inaction of the Qin army, with the help of the brilliant victory achieved by Julu that the General Xiang Yu of Chu, regardless of the order that King Huai asked him to return, and at the suggestion of his adviser Fan Zeng, he made full use of the threat given to all the princes to command and command the commander to integrate the rebels. At the same time, he also used the method of splitting the earth and seizing the feuds to buy the princes. In this way, the kindness and power were used. After two-pronged approaches, the rebels gathered to rescue Zhao were firmly tied to Xiang Yu's chariot. Slowly, the strategic balance between the Qin and Chu armies on the front line of Zhangshui began to be broken. Continuing to wait for the Qin army at a disadvantage was only waiting for death.

General Zhang Han’s tent.

"General, what should I do? General Chen Yu of Zhao State sent someone to bring a letter to ask us to surrender to Xiang Yu. I guess this is very likely what Xiang Yu means." The person who handed Zhang Han the letter of persuasion was nothing but the chief Sima Xin. This chief Sima Xin, who finally escaped from the pursuit of Yan Le in Xianyang, has now become a key figure in communicating between the Chu and Qin armies.

It is a coincidence. As early as when Sima Xin was a prison officer in the Liyang Prison in the Qin Dynasty (i.e., an official in charge of the prison), Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang was arrested and was arrested in the Liyang Prison. In order to escape, he asked the Qi Prison officer Cao Ju to write a letter to Sima Xin. As a result, Sima Xin released Xiang Liang. Logically, this was a corruption and abuse of power to seek personal gain. However, Sima Xin would have been considerable to the Xiang family. If Sima Xin had not let go at that time, maybe Xiang Liang would not have risen and developed to become a general of the Chu State. Of course, these were just unreasonable speculations and could not change the facts of the founding success.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him. There were so many heroes at the same time. If Qin wanted to become stronger again, it did not rely on luck once or twice, but on little by little efforts. Fu Ge knew this clearly than anyone else. Therefore, he would think and ponder for a long time before every battle, and would carefully deal with all the power around him, even the Emperor Ziying who was always ready to seize power.

"Chen Yu, his words can count. Who doesn't know our opponent Xiang Yu, the Chu man?!" Zhang Han replied with a gloomy expression. The defense line in Jiyuan has been continuously broken by the Chu army these days. Just yesterday, a part of the Qin army stationed on the south bank of Zhangshui was defeated by Chu general Pu, which made the situation Zhang Han faced even more sinister.

"General, this letter is quite reasonable. Look at the famous generals Bai Qi and Meng Tian, ​​which of the imperial court has given a good ending? Although this letter was written in the name of Chen Yu, it is more likely to be a signal from Xiang Yu. The current situation depends on whether we can catch it?" After hearing the hesitation in Zhang Han's words, Sima Xin continued to advise him hard.

People are different. Even brothers with the same father and mother may have completely different personalities. Sima Liang's uncle Sima Xin has a criminal record of favoritism and abuse of power, which shows that he is not a stubborn person. Loyalty and bullshit. Only fools will sit on a shipwreck waiting to die!

Surrendering to the Chu army——Sima Xin actually had no hesitation for Sima Xin. He would go to the other side if he gave more benefits. When he was rescued by Fu Ge, the reason why he pretended to be loyal to following Zhang Han to the death was mainly because Fu Ge's "poor" force was completely incomparable to Zhang Han's 200,000 troops in his opinion.

Now, Zhang Han's army is in desperate situation, and Xiang Yu is in a period of rising momentum. If he surrenders to the past, he will definitely have a good future. With this consideration, why is Sima Xin not moved?

"Wait a little longer, hasn't the new prince Ying ascended the throne? Maybe reinforcements will come in a few days?" Zhang Han said weakly. In fact, he didn't believe this. Who knew that Ziying was a puppet, and the real power was in the hands of Fu Ge, a new nouveau riche.

Reinforcements——Not to mention the little troops sent from Guanzhong are not enough to interfere in this battle. Even if you have the ability to reinforce, Zhang Han would not expect Fu Ge to be so generous and disgraceful.

"General, don't hesitate anymore. You didn't see Xiang Yu on the other side cracking the land and separating the feudals. The rebellious princes who followed him all had fiefs and became princes. We surrendered earlier, and maybe we could even get a king. If it was too late, I wouldn't even have a marquis. If the Chu army really defended and refused to surrender, then when the Chu army arrived, you and I wouldn't even want to keep a whole body!" Sima Xin finally became anxious when she saw that Zhang Han had never made any decision.

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you keep trapped, you will be dead. Surrender may become a prince. This multiple-choice question is like someone who eats white rice while eating bran. There is no need to think too much. Although Sima Xin gradually became a little moved, Zhang Han still did not agree immediately. Surrendering to the enemy is too disgraceful. According to the military rules of the Qin Dynasty, this is also a serious crime to exterminate the clan.

Zhang Han hesitated———his opponent Xiang Yu did not have such good patience.

Everything is ready, Xiang Yu, who has almost integrated the rebels, has decided to launch a general attack.

July 7th, noon.

Nearly 400,000 anti-Qin coalition forces, led by Xiang Yu, launched a fierce and fierce attack like a tide. As expected, only two hours later, Xiang Yu's feet were standing firmly on the north bank of the Zhang River. What appeared in front of him were the destroyed camps and the overwhelmed flags of the Qin army, and of course, there were corpses killed by the Chu soldiers who had no time to escape.

"Haha---Father Ya, I have said a long time ago that you don't have to make so many tricks to deal with Zhang Han. Just knock him out with one stick!" When she said this, Xiang Yu was wearing a fiery red armor, the tassels on his head danced in the wind, and the black horse beside him. Such a majestic general would make the other party feel terrified just by glaring at you.

Ya's father Fan Zeng was also full of energy. Seeing that the strategic deployment he planned was successful, the 70-year-old man suddenly felt an indescribable satisfaction. The crisis could finally be resolved. Before the war began, the supply of food and fodder brought by the long-term 400,000 coalition forces had reached a point where they could no longer wait. Only by fighting hard can they get rid of the dilemma of being controlled by insufficient food and fodder.

Although he was very proud, Fan Zeng felt it was necessary to remind Xiang Yu: "There are 200,000 Qin army. If so many soldiers fight to the death, our army will inevitably suffer considerable losses. I think it is better to surrender Zhang Han to a little more!"

"Since Ya's father said that, I'll send an order to Ying Bu and beat me hard until I beat Zhang Han so hard that I could no longer hold on. I want to see how long he could hold on!" Xiang Yu laughed to the sky.

Xiang Yu's words sounded arrogant enough, but he did have arrogance. After integrating and saving Zhao's various rebels, his army of attacking Qin was nearly 400,000. Such a huge number was enough to make any opponent frightened. In this army, famous generals, powerful generals, wise generals, strategists, capable people, and talented people. In addition to Xiang Yu himself, Dangyang Jun Yingbu, General Pu, Zhao Xiang Zhang Er, General Zhao Chen Yu, strategist Li Zuoche and others have become Xiang Yu's subordinates. Their power is superimposed. Not to mention Zhang Han, even ten are not opponents of this joint army.

After defeating Zhang Han, Xiang Yu also imagined entering Hangu and attacking the old nest of Guanzhong, the hinterland of Qin. Last month, Liu Bang's Western Expedition Army was defeated by the unknown Fu Ge at Lantian Pass, which really lost face to Da Chu.

Fu Ge———When I thought of this name, a figure suddenly flashed in Xiang Yu's heart, the ethereal figure beating the drum in the dark fire, and the shocking beauty in the flying snow that night.

The pain slowly spreads in the deepest corner of my heart. Even the successive victory cannot erase the regret of failure that night on the Zhangshui River.

As long as you have such a little bit of luck, you may be able to get her.

Yu Ji——, you are mine, you can’t escape, you are my woman for the rest of your life.

If it weren't for the new young concubine Cai Ji, she wouldn't know the name of this stunning woman who was amazed on the battlefield. It turned out that she was also a woman from my Chu State, and she was once Chen Wangsheng's maid.

"How can I let my woman from Da Chu be enjoyed by Qin Dog!" Because of Yu Ji, whenever Xiang Yu was in a state of desire, he would increase his infinite hatred for the Qin people.
