Chapter 155: Defeat the coalition forces

General——, this 'hydrangea' is really huge.

Fu Ge didn't even think about whether Han Xin, who was depressed and unsuccessful around Xiang Yu, could resist this temptation. At least, if he had no idea about Han Xin's position, he wouldn't even have the intention to consider it, and it was that simple to agree immediately.

If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

After all, what the rebel princes like Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Han Guang, and Zhang Er, who used the slogan to resist the "tyrannical Qin" were doing was nothing but their own interests.

Fu Ge believes that Han Xin will finally agree after careful consideration. Han Xin is not Zhang Liang, and he has no deep hatred with Qin. The reason why he joined Xiang Yu's army was just to survive the war to gain fame and fortune. Now, on Xiang Yu's side, it is obvious that Han Xin cannot get what he wants. So, after seeing that there is hope of realizing his ideals and fulfilling his ambitions in Fu Ge, how could Han Xin refuse? So, he would not refuse.

"Aren't Fu Xiang worried that I would betray?" Han Xin was obviously not mentally prepared in the face of Fu Ge's warm invitation. He stopped in the air with his cup for a long time before asking with difficulty.

Fu Xiang, from this change in name Fu Ge already knew that Han Xin was moved, otherwise he would not have asked this.

Thinking of this, Fu Ge laughed and put on a pose like no other than me and said, "What's there to worry about? This world is so big, can you use General Han? Is there anyone else besides me, Fu Ge?"

Of course, there are people who can use Han Xin, who is now healing his wounds in Hanzhong. So what if Han Xin is a Chu person? In the more than 600 years of history of the Qin Dynasty, countless people have used talents from various Eastern countries to govern the country and make the country strong. Shang Yang, Fan Sui, Lu Buwei, and Li Si. They were all important officials and prime ministers of Qin, and they were all not Qin people.

Even Fu Ge himself could not be included in the Qin people. His thoughts had surpassed this era, and his blood relationship had little to do with the Qin people. The only thing that could explain that he was a Qin people was his adoptive father, a low-level Qin officer who died in the border.

"How is it? Have you decided? It's a good bird to choose trees to live in. I think General Han will make a wise choice. I also heard that General Han was helped by a mother when he was poor. Don't you want to repay him?"

In fact, after Fu Ge's careful words just now, Han Xin was almost going to surrender. Now, when he heard Fu Ge kicking out the "past events" he was unsatisfied in the past, Han Xin, who was told that the secret of the center, suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and his fair face suddenly turned red.

The past that was sealed in his heart was aroused. This experience was really a difficult time for Han Xin. Just as Piao’s mother rescued him, a story of “super humiliation” occurred to Han Xin. Thinking of this, how could Han Xin sit down and drink calmly?

If you continue to do nothing, you will not only be looked down upon by the scoundrels in Huaiyin County, but you will also be sorry for saving food for your mother.

"Okay, I promise you!" When Han Xin sat down again, Fu Ge finally got his dream-ridden answer.

"My General Han, come, please drink this!" Fu Ge laughed loudly, and was filled with joy.

Select talents without any meticulousness.

This trip to Xia Yang really gained a lot. Being able to capture an outstanding military command talent like Han Xin was an immeasurable joy for consolidating Guanzhong and resisting the attack of the anti-Qin coalition forces. More importantly, with the addition of Han Xin, Fu Ge could be at ease to concentrate on handling government affairs such as enriching the country and strengthening the army, developing the economy, and freeing up more energy to deal with the Huns who were eyeing the north.

Puzaka.

It was almost late autumn in mid-September, but the Chu army's winter clothes were not fully in place. Many soldiers were still wearing thin summer clothes. Under the guidance of the biting northwest wind, these soldiers from the south shrank their necks and tried to preserve the heat on their bodies as much as possible. However, the cold wind was like eyes growing, and they drilled into their bodies from the entrance of the clothes.

"What? Qin Gou called Han Xin the general? How could this be possible? He, a halberd, can be a general. This is ridiculous!" These days, one of the most talked topics in the Chu army were when to withdraw, and the other was the news that Han Xin was appointed as a general after surrendering to Qin.

"This is absolutely true. It is the information sent back by the scouts who sneaked into Hexi. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it!"

"This Han Xin, a defeated general, can become a general. It seems that Qin Gou is gone?"

"You know, this Qin Gou wants to use Han Xin as a signboard. This is to let us know that surrender can be promoted and wealthy in the past, and surrender will not be killed. Do you think this move is powerful!"

The Chu soldiers were talking, and even the generals whispered secretly. These rumors were spreading more and more widely among the Chu army. In the end, even Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng could not sit still.

"Major General, the weather is getting colder and the army is in turmoil and the soldiers are in panic. This battle is useless. Withdrawing troops is no longer a choice! Let's decide!" Fan Zeng sighed and said helplessly to Xiang Yu. As a strategist, he really has no face to say such words, especially for Fan Zeng, the strange man who read military books and thought he was good at making a spoiled strategy could not do anything to the Yellow River. This is really shameful.

"Father Ya, hey, next year, I will definitely fight Linjin Pass again!" Xiang Yu said hatefully. Now he and his energetic look were like two people, with haggard faces and deep eyes. The hard battle for more than a month not only made Xiang Yu physically exhausted, but more importantly, his confidence suffered a great blow.

Just as Xiang Yu decided to withdraw his troops, Han Xin, who received full support from Fu Ge, quickly calmed the Qin generals' suspicion of his ability with a victory.

On September 18, the early year of the New Yuan Dynasty of the Great Qin Dynasty, at night.

Dark clouds enveloped the sky above Hangu Pass, and even the stars hid in the clouds and disappeared.

After Xiang Yu led the main force of the Chu army to attack Linjin Pass, the coalition forces stranded in front of Hangu Pass began to obey the orders of Zhang Er, the temporary commander. Although the several strong attacks could not be said of the result, they were doing their best. However, after learning that Xiang Yu was blocked at the Yellow River Ferry, the attitudes of the princes began to change.

The weakening of the Chu army's strength is not good news for the battle against Qin, but for the ambitious princes, is Xiang Yu's weakening of the strength also their chance?

Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. This sentence is correct no matter which era you apply.

Which princes have no ambitions, which one does not want to become a prince, and some even want to be emperors! However, they were afraid to take action due to Xiang Yu's great reputation and strong strength.

Therefore, in the subsequent confrontation, although the princes who were scheming and deliberately preserved their strength still launched key problems from time to time, they did not rain, and looked good and had no actual results. In this case, Zhang Er, the prime minister of Zhao, was helpless, or rather, Zhang Er's mind was actually the same as other princes. Otherwise, he would not have arranged his son Zhang Ao to return to Zhao's land to urge food and fodder.

When the princes such as Wei Bao, Tian Du, and Han Guang saw that Zhang Er was all pretending to be public and private, they were even more arrogant. The things that were not easy to do, and the things that were dark were not enough. They used the excuse of insufficient military food and supplies to drain all the elite soldiers and generals. As a result, the huge anti-Qin rebels who were left in front of Hangu Pass, which was 300,000, shrunk by two-thirds in just half a month.

The army has no fighting spirit and no fighting intention. The troops have been reduced from 300,000 to 100,000, and they are all old, weak and disabled soldiers. What would be strange if this battle can be won?

In fact, it is not a big deal that these princes lack interest in attacking Guanzhong. They have already obtained everything they want under the banner of restoration. In addition to Chu, five of the seven heroes, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Qi and Han, have all restored the country. They have gold, silver and jewelry, beautiful women and good families, fertile land, fame and fortune, what else do they want?

Become an emperor?

There is only one emperor, and everyone is striving to fight for this position, so what's the point? Therefore, most people's ideal is to be able to become kings by separating one side.

The coalition of princes had no intention of fighting, but he still stayed at the gate of Hangu Pass. If this cheap fighter was not fought, wouldn't it be worthy of God's gift? Fu Ge, who returned to Hangu Pass from Xiayang, and Han Xin and some generals saw this weakness of the enemy's army. It was inevitable to fight. In terms of how to fight, Fu Ge did not take on the big bag as before.

Since Han Xin is already a general, then leave it to him to command!

After the battle was fought, Han Xin's prestige was established, and those generals who had opinions on Fu Ge's extraordinary appointment of a surrendered general as a general would be convinced.

Han Xin did not disappoint Fu Ge.

With the help of the cover of the night, 20,000 elite Qin soldiers, led by Han Xin, Shejian, Li Jie and Li Lie, launched night attacks on the vassal camps camped in four directions on the western plains outside Hangu Pass. They could not defend themselves and were used to the Qin army's soldiers who were accustomed to the Qin army's guards were panicked and could not organize effective defense for the time being.
