Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 359 Xin Haicheng's Bad Strategy, Xiang Yu's Gambling Competition
The sun and the moon rotated, and soon it was the morning of the third day.

Xiang Yu gave the order to attack Yunyang yesterday.

Taking advantage of the darkness of night, hundreds of thousands of troops began to gather in the direction of Yunyang City.

Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, the flags of the six countries flutter in all directions.

No one expected that Qin, which swept across the six countries more than 20 years ago, would be attacked by the Allied Forces of the Six Nations more than 20 years later.

Although Yunyang is still tens of miles away from Xianyang, in the minds of the Six Nations Allied Forces, there is no difference.

The country's enemies and families hate this battle, so everyone is full of energy and confidence.

but!

Some people are happy, others are naturally worried.

For example, Xin Sheng in Yunyang City, and his new alliance Zhao Gao.

At this time, Xin Sheng was holding a military meeting in the conference hall at the head of Yunyang City, and Zhao Gao also attended it.

Xin Sheng looked at Zhao Gao, then looked at the generals under his command, and asked with a gloomy expression: "Generals, 60 rebels are pressing down on the border, and they are approaching Yunyang City. Now the situation is critical, do you have a good strategy to defend against the enemy?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Xiang Yu has long been famous, and in the past two years, he has been invincible on the battlefield. Even a three-year-old child knows the name of "butcher".

Let them face such an enemy at this moment, not only do they have no idea, but also feel uneasy, and they have no words for a while.

As Xin Sheng's most proud eldest son, Xin Haicheng is quite knowledgeable and outstanding among the generals, so seeing that the generals were silent, he took the lead and said, "General, Liu Bang entered the pass first, but he was late. We thought he was afraid because he refused to attack the city for a long time, but we didn’t expect him to be waiting for Xiang Yu, it seems that he has already planned it!"

Xin Sheng frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Xin Haicheng said sternly: "Sun Tzu's art of war has a saying. He knows himself and the enemy. He can fight a hundred battles without imperil. Compared with the strength of troops: our army has 20 elite Qin troops, 12 cavalry, 60 infantry, and [-] crossbowmen, while the coalition army has as many as [-]. Far."

"Comparison of combat power: Our army is well-equipped and well-trained. With the same number of troops, it is not inferior to any other side. However, Xiang Yu's troops and horses have absorbed the armaments of Zhang Han's troops, and their combat power is also amazing. Coupled with the support of the coalition forces, the combat power is far superior to ours."

"Compared with generals: Xiang Yu has five generals under his command, plus the generals of the coalition army, they are far more numerous than our generals. Therefore, after comparing three items, we have three strategies!"

"Which three strategies?"

Before Xin Sheng could ask, Zhao Gao couldn't wait to ask.

Xin Haicheng glanced at Zhao Gao, and then said indifferently: "The three strategies are divided into upper, middle and lower strategies. The best strategy is to immediately abandon Yunyang and Xianyang, go north to join Li Xin, and then join Li Xin's 30 troops. Fight to the death with Xiang Yu!"

"The middle strategy is, in view of the strength of our army and the general trend, the ambition of surrendering to the rebels and dividing up the princes from all walks of life with Xiang Yu should not treat us badly!"

"The worst strategy is to go back to Xianyang through the secret road, and then in the name of His Majesty, recruit corvees from all over the country to form an army, consume a wave of coalition forces in Yunyang, wait for the coalition forces to arrive in Xianyang, and then fight Xiang Yu to the death in Xianyang. The above three strategies , please make a decision, General!"

Xin Sheng pondered for a while, he is not stupid, he naturally knew that the current situation is not good, so he frowned and looked at Zhao Gao: "What does Prime Minister Zhao think?"

"This"

Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment, then looked around at the generals: "What do you generals think?"

"General, Prime Minister Zhong, the last general thinks that the best strategy is the safest, and he... should think it is the best strategy!" General Zhou Peng replied embarrassingly.

"That's right, the last general thinks so too!"

All the generals echoed Zhou Peng's words.

They didn't seem to exclude Li Xin, thinking that Li Xin was still a loyal minister of the empire, but they seemed to have forgotten that Li Xin once joined forces with Wang Li to coerce Qin Er Shi Hu Hai to become king.

The clearest among them is Zhao Gao.

Therefore, after hearing Xin Sheng's three strategies, Zhao Gao did not show approval, but looked at Xin Sheng worriedly: "What does the general think?"

"I thought"

Xin Sheng pondered for a while, and said: "Guanzhong is a fertile land. It is a pity for us to abandon Guanzhong. As for Li Xin, although we are Qin ministers in name, we are in fact our own masters. He is loyal to the first emperor, and we Loyal to Ziying, even if he goes north, he may not necessarily conspire with us and obey Ziying's orders!"

"Then the general has made up his mind?" Xin Haicheng asked hesitantly.

Xin Sheng replied solemnly: "I don't think the best policy is advisable, nor is the middle policy. Surrender to the rebels. Let alone whether the other princes can accept us, let's talk about the 20 prisoners killed by Xiang Yu. Do you want the soldiers to die in vain?"

"This"

When the generals heard Xin Sheng's words, they were speechless for a moment.

Xiang Yu's cruelty was indeed appalling. Once he followed in the footsteps of the prisoner army, then himself, the generals of the Qin State, would become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.

But if the best policy and the middle policy are not enough, then only the policy is left.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao was taken aback, and quickly asked: "General Xin is planning to fight the rebels in Xianyang?!"

"What about a fight to the death?"

Xin Sheng glared at him angrily, and said decisively: "The battle is not about the number of people, but the momentum and strategy. Although the coalition army has many people, except for Xiang Yu's troops, the rest of the soldiers and horses are all mobs. As long as the plan is right, there may not be no chance of victory! "

As a general of the Qin State who swept the six countries, he has extremely rich battlefield experience, so he will naturally not be intimidated by the situation in front of him.

However, Zhao Gao still seemed to be a little worried: "General Xin, I know you have extraordinary abilities, but just in case"

Before Zhao Gao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xin Sheng with a wave of his hand: "If the front is afraid of wolves and the back is afraid of tigers, even if they escape to other places, they will still be wiped out by the enemy. Why don't you give it a go? Maybe this is a chance!"

As he spoke, he comforted the generals and said: "Xianyang City is high and wide, with plenty of food and grass, enough to hold on for several months. If the rebels can't attack for a long time, they will definitely run out of food and grass. At that time, in the name of your majesty, we will call on the kings everywhere to work hard. It’s not like there’s no chance of winning!”

Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled wryly, and said in his heart that you are full of confidence, that Xiang Yu's power is beyond ordinary people's imagination!

Although Zhao Gao's military and political talents are not good, but his ability in people is very good.

When he first contacted the Xiang family, he had already seen Xiang Yu's extraordinaryness. After the Julu battle, he was even more convinced by Xiang Yu, and even contacted Liu Bang with some fear, wanting to form an alliance with Liu Bang and share Guanzhong.

However, Liu Bang was also afraid of Xiang Yu and did not dare to form an alliance with him.

Although Xin Sheng is also a well-known general in the empire, he is still worse than Wang Ben and Li Xin.

However, the current Zhao Gao is no longer the Zhao Gao who has all the power. After Ziying came to the throne, most of his power was taken away by Xin Sheng, and he was not the one who decided to fight, flee, or surrender.

So seeing that Xin Sheng had made up his mind, Zhao Gao could only agree: "Since General Xin has made this decision, I will immediately report to Your Majesty, mobilize the corvees and prisoners around Xianyang, and send them to Yunyang through secret passages, so that they can be used as reserve soldiers. , guard the city!"

"it is good!"

Xin Sheng nodded and said with a smile, "Then there will be Prime Minister Lao Zhong!"

Under Yunyang City, 60 coalition troops gathered to encircle the entire city.

Looking down from the top of the city at this time, the 60 coalition troops are like a dense colony of ants, boundless.

The endless spears and halberds dazzled the soldiers guarding the city, and they were a little scared for a while.

In the evening, Xiang Yu and the generals were discussing the matter of attacking the city in the coalition tent.

Zhang Liang looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, smiled and said to the generals: "Generals, there have been many good things recently, Zhang Liang was ordered by the Overlord to list them one by one, to make everyone happy!"

"Speak up, speak up!"

The generals agreed excitedly, and some couldn't wait.

Xiang Yu also smiled and waved his hands: "Zifang, tell everyone!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Liang responded, and said: "The first thing is, since the Overlord divided the world, 36 of Qin's [-] counties have surrendered, and they respect the Overlord as the Lord of the World!"

"Good! Long live the Overlord!"

Although the generals knew that most of the eighteen counties were homelands of the Six Kingdoms, they couldn't help cheering.

"The second thing is the news from Yong City. The Qin State's ancestral land, Yong City, has announced its surrender. At the same time, the granary in Yong City has been opened to supply 20 shi of grain and grass!"

"Great! Now you don't have to worry about food and grass!"

The generals immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed joy.

"The third thing is that Tushan, the prefect of Bajun, announced a change of flag, and he regarded the overlord as the master of the world, and no longer obeyed Xianyang's orders. He also used the county captain Tengda as the general to recruit a large army, and prepared to march eastward to attack Xin Sheng's army together!"

The generals were overjoyed again, Liu Bang said with a smile: "The overlord is brave, and everyone in the world submits. In this way, the two armies attack back and forth, and Xin Sheng has no escape!"

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Xiang Zhuang was quite displeased, and immediately mocked: "Why do you need to attack back and forth, the overlord can break through Yunyang with his army alone, although Peigong fought many small battles, but there are few big ones, don't do it if you don't understand." Speech nonsense and make others laugh!"

"This"

The smile on Liu Bang's face was still on, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. He secretly scolded Xiang Zhuang, a bastard. Wang, but they are all in remote areas.

Now this Zhuang is still fighting against him everywhere, which is really abhorrent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xiang Yu, who had been smiling in the main seat just now, raised his hand to Xiang Zhuang and said, "Xiao Zhuang, don't be rude to the King of Hanzhong. do not talk!"

"promise."

On the surface, Xiang Zhuang promised obediently, but when he bowed his head, he made a disdainful expression towards Liu Bang, so angry that Liu Bang secretly bit his teeth, sullen.

At this time, Zhang Liang said again: "Overlord, we still need to send people to escort the grain and grass in Yongcheng. Since Yongcheng is enshrined by King Yong, why not let King Yong take charge of the grain and grass transportation this time, so as to solve our army's worries?"

"it is good!"

Xiang Yu nodded, and immediately ordered to Xiang Zhuang: "Xiao Zhuang, you take [-] soldiers and horses from the headquarters and are responsible for the food and grass escort!"

"Follow the Overlord's Order!"

Xiang Zhuang went out with arrogance and respectfully obeyed his orders.

In fact, there are two reasons why Xiang Yu agreed so simply. One is that Yongcheng has already surrendered, so he has nothing to worry about. The other is that Xiang Zhuang is his only relative, who is responsible for escorting food and grass, and his safety can be guaranteed in the rear. .

All the generals were envious when they saw Xiang Zhuang receiving the order. Although the coalition forces had an absolute advantage, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and if they were a little careless, they could easily die on the battlefield.

Compared with Xiang Zhuang, the danger of the generals is naturally a little more.

However, Xiang Yu didn't intend to get entangled in this matter, so he said again: "Now that the matter of food and grass is settled, it's time to talk about the serious matter of attacking Yunyang!"

"Overlord, there are only 20 Qin troops in Yunyang City, and we have 60 coalition troops, so it's easy to break!"

General Xiang Yu said with a long smile, "If the overlord trusts the last general, tomorrow he will deploy one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and within one day, the last general will break through Yunyang and make the first contribution to the overlord's destruction of Qin!"
The first effort to destroy Qin?

This dragon is really daring!

The generals were shocked in their hearts, but they kept asking for a fight.

After all, the significance of the Qin First Kungfu is really incomparable.

Seeing that the generals were full of fighting spirit, Xiang Yu smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, I believe that with my 60 coalition forces, we will be able to break through Yunyang in one fell swoop, but this is the first battle for our army to enter the pass. , must be victorious, and show the prestige of our coalition forces!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "So in my opinion, how about a bet?"

"Gambling?"

All the generals were taken aback when they heard this.

General Yingbu cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I would like to hear more about it!"

"How about this, I will send four generals to attack Yunyang from four sides, each with [-] troops, you can choose the specific types of troops, but you must agree on one thing, whoever breaks the city first will be the first!"

"Of course, in addition to the general's first meritorious service, all the soldiers under his command will be rewarded!"

"Where there is a win, there must be a loss. What about the loser?" Liu Bang asked cautiously.

"Humph!"

Xiang Zhuang snorted coldly: "Everyone is fighting for the winner, but you want to fight for the loser. You are really dead wood!"

After Liu Bang adjusted his mentality, he didn't take Xiang Zhuang seriously, so he said with a playful smile: "Hey, I'm asking for the generals. Besides, the Overlord may not necessarily choose me!"

"you!"

Xiang Zhuang was left speechless by Liu Bang's shameless words.

Xiang Yu also said dumbfoundedly: "It doesn't matter if you lose, as long as you break through Yunyang City, the loser will offer three bowls of wine to the winner. Do you agree?"

"agreed, agreed!"

The generals echoed with a smile, while gearing up.

And Xiang Yu went on to say: "Since everyone agrees with this king's bet, then Longqi will attack the north, Chen Yu will attack the south, Tiandu will attack the west, and Liu Bang will attack the east. Do you have any objections?"

"This"

The generals looked at each other when they heard the words. These four generals had the highest prestige in the coalition army, so they didn't disagree.

It's just that Liu Bang is a little depressed.

He thought that Xiang Yu would let him go, but he didn't expect Xiang Yu to let him attack the city.

Among the four generals, Long Qi was Xiang Yu's number one general, so his abilities were naturally undeniable, and the other two generals were also stronger than Liu Bang.

So Liu Bang felt that Xiang Yu asked him to attack the city just to play with himself, but he couldn't refuse, after all, the military order was like a mountain.

Seeing that the four were silent, Xiang Yu immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, that's it, all the generals go back and prepare well, and take Yunyang for this king tomorrow!"

"promise!"

All the generals made a promise and withdrew from the military tent one after another.

Not long after leaving the military tent, Zhang Liang grabbed Liu Bang's robe and said softly, "Pei Gong, there is a choice between life and death, would you like to hear it?"
