Chapter 198 Inciting chaos

Xianyang urgently reported that when he received the sealed army from the hot paint, Fu Ge's heart skipped a beat. Sima Liang was so anxious that something major must have happened when he came to deliver the letter.

As for the current situation facing Qin, there are only two places where this change can come, one is the Xiongnu in the north, and the other is Xiang Yu in Guandong. Could it be that the Huns chose the new Shanyu so quickly? No, according to the information learned from Zhang Huan from the Western Regions, the Zuoxian King and the Right Xianwang of the Xiongnu were fighting for whom the Great Shanyu will be the Great Shanyu. The two sides are evenly matched, and it will take at least more than a year to decide the victory or defeat. If there is nothing wrong in the north, it will only be related to the east.

When Fu Ge thought of Xiang Yu's eyes of revenge and hatred, he couldn't help but feel a fierce fighting spirit in his heart.

After disassembling the military memorial, the line of words that came into Fu Ge's eyes: On the night of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiang Yu attacked the capital of Qi Linzi at night, defeated 70,000 Qi troops, and Qi general Tian Heng was defeated and fled to the sea.

In recent years, Fu Ge has been working hard to manage the territory of Guanzhong, Hanzhong and Bashu, and strive to put the soaring wings of the revived Qin Dynasty. His strongest opponent Xiang Yu was not idle either. Under the planning of Yafa Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu first gathered princes in Mianchi and launched a policy of cracking and extermination. The first one was the King of Chu Huai Xiong Xin, who always dragged the Chu army back. The second one was the potential threat to King Liu Bang of Han, and the third one was the King of Qi Tian Rong who had always opposed Xiang Yu.

The grudge between Tian Rong and Xiang Yu has been around for a long time. Speaking of which, the root of their grudges is related to Fu Ge. During the Battle of Dong'e, Xiang Yu was ordered to rescue Tian Rong and besiege Fu Ge's army, which was still under Zhang Han's unit, with heavy troops. At this time, Tian Rong said that he would leave the city no matter what. Unexpectedly, Tian Rong was very unaware of the situation and actually stationed in the city to wait and see and let the Chu army and the Qin army kill each other to death.

Xiang Yu, who had always been ruthless and evil, had no good feelings for such a 'ruthless' guy, especially when he kept hearing the news of Fu Ge's victory in Lian Zhan, he was even more furious. Just imagine that if Tian Rong had left the city to attack the Qin army, Fu Ge would have long become a ghost under the knife, and there would be no glory today. If that were the case, Xiang Yu would not have been able to move forward on the bloody battle in Jinguan on Sunday.

Xiang Yu has always been upset about the defeat of Linjin Pass and the subsequent defeat of Hangu of the vassal coalition. Since the Julu victory, Xiang Yu, who was immersed in the myth of invincibility, certainly would not think that he had lost to his opponent in military command ability. On the contrary, after summarizing the lessons of failure, he believed that it was because of selfish guys like Tian Rong in the vassal army that he would be defeated. If he wanted to fight with Fu Ge again, he must first eliminate the scum in the vassal army.

In this way, a crack was slowly growing, and the contradictions were hidden deep in their hearts. When Xiang Yu looked back and turned around, his butcher knife had already pointed at Tian Rong.

In October Autumn of the second year of Xinyuan in the Great Qin Dynasty, when Fu Ge and the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun were in Lintao, the Chu army and the Qi army confronted each other in Chengyang. After a battle, Tian Rong was defeated and fled to the plain to hide. As a result, he was killed by the officials of the plain to give him the head to Xiang Yu's tent.

Although Tian Rong died, Xiang Yu, who had hated the Qi people, had lost his mind. He did not listen to Fan Zeng's advice and led the Chu army not only to burn down the city walls of the capital of Qi, but also to slaughter everywhere he passed. This aroused hatred of the people of Qi against the Chu army. Under the order of Tian Rong's younger brother Tian Heng, they gathered with each other to rebel and continue to fight with the Chu army. Tian Heng's military command ability was stronger than Tian Rong, but compared with Xiang Yu, Tian Heng still had no chance of winning. After more than two months of hard resistance, Tian Heng was defeated in the Battle of Linzi and led only 500 confidants to float on the sea.

Although these wars in Guandong have no major relationship with Qin for the time being, one thing is obvious, that is, after Xiang Yu pacified the rebellious forces in Qi, he would definitely wipe out the other small princes who dared to oppose him in one go, and then his target would point to Qin in the west. With Xiang Yu's temper and temperament, how could he forget the humiliation of defeat a year ago?

It was precisely because of this level that Sima Liang and Li Shiqi rushed to send military reports. Only by preparing for the future can one win every battle. Therefore, the facts described in this urgent report seem plain, but the implicit meaning is abnormal.

"Ship Fu, it's a change in Guandong!" General Han Xin, who also heard the shouting, rode his horse together. From Fu Ge's solemn expression, he also guessed seven or eight.

Fu Ge nodded and smiled bitterly: "The Chu army has broken through Qi. I guess the ice river will launch troops to attack the west when it freezes in spring. It seems that you and I will not be able to live in peace again."

If Xiang Yu invaded, he would completely disrupt the Qin army's established strategy of southern merger. It can be imagined that the Qin State would never be able to divide the troops to meet the enemy with such a powerful opponent as Xiang Yu. That would be like committing suicide. If the troops from Bashu were drawn back to Bashu, the idea of ​​stabilizing the backyard and even opening the Yelang passage to contact the South Vietnamese garrison would be a silence.

what to do?

Fu Ge, who was worried that his hard work was about to fail, rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion after a hurry to chat with the civil and military officials who were greeting each other. There, all the important officials of the Fu faction were waiting in the study, and their faces were equally solemn.

"Sir, what is the situation in Guandong? Is Xiang Yu likely to suddenly launch an army to attack Guanzhong?" Before he could sit down, Fu Ge asked.

Li Shiqi was ordered to go on a mission to Guandong and was much more familiar with the situation there than Fu Ge, especially those little princes who did not get enough benefits in Xiang Yu's feudal policy. Their attitude seemed inconspicuous, but it might be related to the overall life and death.

"Fu Xiang, from the perspective of me, those arrogant princes are all courageous people. They have no courage to fight Xiang Yu at all. Instead, Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi can make good use of it." Seeing that Fu Ge was the first to ask him, Li Shiqi showed a proud expression. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Sima Liang in front of him, and said slowly.

Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi, these three surrendered generals of Qin State have been serving in the Chu army since Jiyuan's defeat. Since all the Qin army was killed, these three people have had a hard time in the Chu army. Since ancient times, the army has been a powerful world, especially for surrendered generals, they have to endure the ridicule and rolling eyes from the Chu army generals.

"Sima, where can you have news about Uncle Ling?" Fu Ge, who was inspired by Li Shiqi's eyes, turned around and asked. Although Sima Xin and Sima Liang belonged to different camps, their blood relationship was still there, and it was impossible for them to be separated completely. Fu Ge was clear about this.

"Reported to Shuai Fu, Uncle Xin did ask his family to bring a letter. I think he regretted his attitude. In the letter, he also said that General Zhang Han was drunk all day long and ignored them. "Sima Liang replied that Sima Xin's letter could not be too explicit. After all, he advocated surrendering to the Chu army in Jiyuan. If he said bluntly that he would return to Qin, wouldn't he beating himself?

"Then did he say where they were stationed?" Fu Ge's eyes lit up. Since Sima Xin had expressed regret, other surrendered generals would be no exception. If he could make good use of this, he might cause a big turmoil within the Chu army.

"Xingyang. In order to prevent Liu Bang's troops from leaving Hanzhong, Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi were ordered to lead 10,000 Chu troops to station in Xingyang. However, they could not command the Chu soldiers at all. The real power in the army was controlled by the generals sent by Xiang Yu." Sima Liang replied. Hearing this, everyone's excitement suddenly became depressed. The troops led by Zhang Han are all the Chu troops given by Xiang Yu. These soldiers belong to the Chu State, not Qin State. It would be a fool to say that Zhang Han wanted to incite them to rebel.

"It's okay, as long as they have the intention of rebelling, the plan to disrupt Xiang Yu can be implemented!" When everyone was disappointed, only Han Xin was still full of confidence.

"What are the tricks of the general? Let's talk about it?" Fu Ge asked.

"There is no trick, but there is one trick. Why didn't Fu Shuai send eloquent people to Guandong to release the news? He said that Zhang Han and others were thinking about their homeland and were interested in their intention to return to the Qin Dynasty. In this way, Xiang Yu would definitely be suspicious, and Zhang Han and others would be even more discriminated against in the Chu camp. In this way, even if Zhang Han and other surrendered generals did not want to rebel, they would have to rebel." Han Xin replied with a smile.

"If Zhang Han rebelled and the soldiers refused to follow him, what could it be?" Li Shiqi asked afterwards.

"Mr. Please think, what I need now is the turmoil of the Chu army. As for whether Zhang Han will win or lose after the rebellion, what does it have to do with me? If he wins, he will be the marquis of the side. If he loses, he will not hurt me, Da Qin." After saying this, Han Xin's confident look was revealed.

"The General is indeed a good idea. With Zhang Han's experienced military talent, if you urge him to rise up, Xiang Yu would not be able to defeat him in a short time. The longer Zhang Han's resistance to the Chu army lasts, the more beneficial it will be for us Qin. Well, I have decided: In order to promote Zhang Han's affairs, you can contact him first and agree to secretly support the supplies and supplies, so that a crisis can be resolved without dispatching one soldier." Fu Ge nodded approvingly and added.
