Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 366 Thousands of gold buy horse bones and build a platform from the beginning

Time went back to the battlefield of Yongcheng.

Before Xiang Yu fought Zhao Kun, Liu Bang and Xin Sheng had formed an alliance.

Although the way of forming an alliance is surprising, Ziying did choose the same historical path.

As Ziying surrendered to Liu Bang, the empire also perished one after another.

Of course, this is just the demise of the empire in the original history, and the new Great Qin Empire is gradually being born.

Yingbo led the former army, and encountered Xiangzhuang's remnant army in Qishan outside Yongcheng. Later, Wang Yanlei rode through the defense line and fell into a one-sided encounter.

As for Xiang Yu's central and rear troops, they marched in Fufeng, more than ten miles away from Qishan.

When Xiang Yu learned that Yingbo's former army had been attacked, he immediately rushed to Qishan to rescue.

However, before he got close to Qishan, an unbelievable news came from ahead: Yingbo was defeated and the former army was almost destroyed.

"how so?!"

During the process of summoning the defeated soldiers, Xiang Yu was greatly surprised to hear the news.

Before that, he had analyzed Zhao Kun's intentions with Zhang Liang. When he realized that Zhao Kun was going to contain his 40 troops in Yongcheng, and then recruit reinforcements to annihilate his 40 troops, he decided to besiege Yongcheng and wipe out The reinforcements who came to support.

The fact is just as he expected, Zhao Kun is indeed planning to join forces with Li Xin to wipe out his 40 army.

However, he guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

Xiang Yu originally thought that Zhao Kun would wait for the reinforcements to arrive in Yongcheng, and then join forces to attack him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kun would take the initiative to attack his former army.

Isn't he afraid that he will attack Yongcheng in a fit of anger?

Even if Yongcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but with an army of 40, can't it break a city?
In fact, not only Xiang Yu was surprised, but even Xiang Yu's generals were also shocked.

You know, Yingbo's former army may have 5 people, plus the tens of thousands of people in Xiangzhuang, at least 10 people participated in the Battle of Yongcheng.

And how many soldiers and horses are there in Yongcheng?

How did the battle of 10 people end so quickly?

Before the generals under Xiang Yu could react, a broken soldier said tremblingly: "Our defense line was broken by the remnants fleeing from Du Yang's direction. I think the enemy launched an attack when we were holding our line of defense!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned slightly, and asked, "Where are the Yingbu people?"

"Go back to your majesty, General Yingbo has died in battle!"

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news of Yingbo's death in battle.

Yingbo is under Xiang Yu's command, but he is a top-ranking general. Even if the former army is attacked, he will not be killed so easily.

But the rout soldier continued: "When the Qin army raided, everyone didn't react, including General Yingbo. The general of the Qin army killed General Yingbo when he was unprepared!"

As they said that, several other rout soldiers informed Xiang Yu of the detailed situation, only to see that Xiang Yu's face was extremely gloomy, and he didn't speak for a while.

It wasn't until the venue was silent that Xiang Yu asked hesitantly, "What about Xiangzhuang?"

"This"

Several broken soldiers looked at each other and looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.

At this moment, Long Qi cautiously steered forward, and reported back: "The remnants of the army who fled from the direction of Du Yang are the subordinates of King Yong. Captured, maybe"

His words did not go on, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Is it possible to be captured, or to die in battle?
Xiang Yu rubbed the center of his eyebrows wearily, and couldn't help but sigh!

As we all know, Xiang Zhuang is Xiang Yu's cousin, and the age difference between the two is almost the same. The difference is that Xiang Yu's outstanding ability is the hope of Xiang's rise, while Xiang Zhuang is mediocre and belongs to the marginal people.

Because the two grew up together, Xiang Yu took special care of Xiang Zhuang. He not only named him King Yong, but also kept him away from the battlefield, and was only responsible for escorting grain and grass.

But that's it, when Xiang Yu heard that Xiang Zhuang might face an accident, he felt anxious for a while.

It is true that Xiang Yu is bloodthirsty and violent, but he absolutely treats his relatives and those around him preferentially.

Seeing Xiang Yu's sad expression, Yu Ziqi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, the auspicious man of King Yong has his own aura, and most of them were captured by the Qin army. It may not be a bad situation."

"I hope so!"

Xiang Yu sighed slightly, then raised his head and looked ahead, and after a while, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn: "However, I really didn't expect that that despicable villain Zhao Kun had so many cards!"

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the rout soldiers on the ground, and he asked solemnly: "You said that an unknown ball flew from the sky, and then heard thunder explode, is it true?"

"My lord, it is indeed true. After the sphere burst, smoke and dust billowed, flying rocks filled the sky, and within ten feet, there were no bones left!" A broken soldier replied with horror.

"Humph!"

Xiang Yu snorted coldly, and immediately ordered: "Return to the army to support the wind, set up camp, come here, call all the princes, and discuss matters in the tent!"

"promise!"

The messenger Sima agreed to leave.

At the same time, above the city of Yongcheng, Zhao Kun and Fusu were watching the battlefield with binoculars.

After a while, Fusu put down the binoculars, frowned and said, "Xiang Yu is really ruthless, even halfway through the journey, he even gave up on the rescue!"

"He should have heard the news of Yingbo's death in battle, so he gave up the rescue on his own initiative!" Zhao Kun also put down the binoculars and said lightly.

"Then what do we do next?"

"That's it!"

"Ok?"

Fu Su froze for a moment, then looked back at Zhao Kun: "What do you mean by that?"

"Our army has already won this battle. It's meaningless to continue killing. It's not my pleasure to kill, so let's stop here!" Zhao Kun shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Han on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I think that these rebels deserve death, and it is useless to keep them. For the sake of the overall situation, it is better to kill them!"

"That's right Brother Kun, for the sake of the overall situation, we can't accept prisoners, these rebels should be killed!" Fusu echoed.

"The big picture?"

Zhao Kun sneered, then glanced at Zhang Han lightly, frowned and said, "Why are they always the ones who sacrificed for the sake of the overall situation? Who are they, they are also people of my Great Qin!"

"This……"

Zhang Han's language is blocked.

"But."

Seeing that Zhang Han was rendered speechless by Zhao Kun's words, Fusu hesitated and said, "Accepting the surrender of these rebels will increase the burden of food and grass for our army..."

"Food and grass...you don't have to worry!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand and said calmly, "I still have use for these captives!"

Although his words were very calm, there was no doubt in his tone.

Zhao Kun can fully understand Zhang Han's mentality of wanting to kill the captives. After all, Xiang Yukeng killed his 20 prisoners, but Zhang Han's mentality is completely different from Xiang Yu's.

Zhang Han would care if Xiang Yu killed 20 prisoners, but Xiang Yu didn't care if Zhang Han killed tens of thousands of prisoners.

Because Xiang Yu only had himself in his heart, if he really cared about these tens of thousands of captives, he would not give up rescue.

Therefore, comparing the two, Zhao Kun felt that it was unnecessary.

What's more, he did have other plans for these captives.

Although Fusu's prestige far exceeds that of Zhao Kun, the decision-making power has always been in Zhao Kun's hands, so Zhao Kun has made up his mind, and he will not sing against Zhao Kun.

Looking at Zhang Han, then at Zhao Kun, Fusu chuckled, stepped forward a few steps, and shouted loudly to the city: "Give me the general's order, surrender without killing!"

Sima, the messenger under the city, heard Fusu's order and rushed to the battlefield. It didn't take long for the battlefield to hear voices persuading him to surrender.

"The general has an order, surrender without killing!"

"The general has an order, surrender without killing!"

"The general has an order, surrender without killing!"

Hearing the surrounding Qin army's persuasion to surrender, the more than [-] rebels who had been driven together by Lei Qi seemed to have survived a desperate situation, hugging each other and weeping bitterly.

Because of Zhao Kun's decision, more than [-] rebels survived, and they would not be slaughtered by Lei Qi.

However, it was precisely because of this that the rebels who survived gave up their resistance one after another, threw away their weapons, and were silently driven to the Yongcheng camp by the Qin army.

On the other side, Zhang Han silently looked at Zhao Kun's back. From this moment on, he truly understood that the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in front of him was the future of the empire.

It is true that, as Zhao Kun expected, he did have a heart of revenge against Xiang Yu, but it doesn't seem to make much sense just to kill the prisoners.

Back at the Yongcheng government office, Zhao Kun immediately held a military meeting.

Those who participated in the military meeting this time included not only the generals under Zhao Kun's command, but also Ying Zheng and Wang Ben.

Wang Ben left Longxi because he was worried about Ying Zheng, and because he wanted to help Zhao Kun. After all, he also recognized Xiang Yu's ability.

You must know that he is one of the main generals in Yingzheng's unification of the six countries. He recognized Xiang Yu, which shows that Xiang Yu is indeed capable of destroying Qin.

So it is reasonable to worry that Zhao Kun can't cope with Xiang Yu.

"Tongwuhou, are you here to add icing on the cake?"

Zhao Kun joked about Wang Ben with a smile.

Wang Ben rolled his eyes, and said seriously, "I would like to send charcoal in the snow, but it hasn't snowed yet."

"Hahaha--!"

Zhao Kun laughed loudly, then raised his wine glass, and teased Wang Ben: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Tong Wuhou is getting more and more humorous. Anyway, with Tong Wuhou in charge, I feel much more at ease. Come on, Tong Wuhou, Kid Zhao Kun toasts you!"

After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Yingzheng seriously: "Father, today's battle is going well. When Xiang Yu goes back, he should plan to attack the city. It's not very safe for you to stay in Yongcheng!"

"This city of Yong is the former capital of the Qin State. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Xiang Yu sends troops to attack, it will not be easy to break through. You don't need to worry!"

As Ying Zheng spoke, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "What's more, I believe in your ability!"

Zhao Kun: "."

Ying Zheng: "."

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

After a while, Zhao Kun smiled bitterly and said, "The battlefield changes rapidly. Even if I have the confidence to protect my adoptive father, my adoptive father still needs to be more careful."

"Don't worry about that, I have more experience in warfare than you!" Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

Zhao Kun was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head dumbfounded.

Ying Zheng is right. He does have experience in war. After all, he was in charge of the war to unify the six countries.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kun looked around and asked Han Xin, "Where is Chen Ping?"

Han Xin cupped his hands and replied, "Chen Ping is placing prisoners!"

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I also feel that those captives...are useless to keep and should be discarded."

"It seems that you don't understand what I mean?"

Zhao Kun glanced at Han Xin, and said helplessly: "Since our army has won the victory, there is no need to kill the prisoners. Do you think you killed only more than [-] prisoners? No! In fact, the ones you killed were the rebels who surrendered." possible!"

"."

Everyone heard the words, looked at each other, and looked at each other.

But Zhao Kun said again: "If we kill these more than [-] captives, even if we drive another rebel army to a dead end in the future, they will not surrender. Instead, they will fight to the death with us until the entire army is wiped out!"

"Do you know the consequences of this? Such consequences will lead to the sacrifice of our army in vain!"

"The so-called horse bones are bought with thousands of dollars. If we want to fight the battle easily in the future, we have to start with these more than [-] captives. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly nodded.

But Han Xin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what you mean is to make those rebels realize that as long as they surrender, they can survive?"

"Not bad!"

Zhao Kun nodded, and said seriously: "Whether it is the rebel army or the Qin army, they are actually the people of our Great Qin. The root cause of the civil war lies in the ambitious remnants of the six countries. As long as those remnants of the six countries are eliminated, the war will soon will subside!"

"Once the war subsides, the so-called rebels and the so-called captives are just a group of ordinary people!"

As he spoke, he looked around at everyone: "Everyone, don't forget that the territory of my Great Qin was originally sparsely populated, and the population is very important to us!"

When Han Xin heard the words, he was sincerely convinced, and immediately bowed his hands to Zhao Kun: "You have the heart of a benevolent and the ability to dominate, Han Xin admires it!"

"Okay, let's not talk about flattery, let's talk about business!" Zhao Kun waved his hand with a smile, and then made a summary of today's battle.

Ying Zheng and Wang Ben on the side looked at each other with a strange feeling.

A thousand dollars to buy a horse bone?
Population problems?

It seems that this kid's ambition is bigger than we imagined!
Thinking a little in their hearts, the two of Ying Zheng figured out some different meanings from Zhao Kun's words: It seems that this kid's heart is not limited to Qin, but wants to fight away from Qin.

In other words, after the civil war is over, this kid wants to expand abroad.

if so
Coincidentally, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben suddenly felt as if the blood in their bodies was boiling, and they were full of strength.

"Today's battle situation is like this. If you have any ideas, you can tell them!" Zhao Kun said, looking around at the generals.

"Your Majesty, the general thought that since we expected Xiang Yu to come to attack the city, it would be better to use a strategy. When he attacked the city, send a surprise army to sneak attack on his camp behind him, so that he would be difficult to care about, and he would definitely lose!" Han Xin mused. road.

"Then what if he didn't come to attack the city?" Fusu said worriedly.

"Even if we didn't come to attack the city, we can sneak attack his camp!" Han Xin laughed.

Zhang Han was surprised: "You mean, let's switch from defense to offense?"

"Not bad!"

Han Xin nodded, stood up and walked to the map, explaining: "Look, everyone, Fufeng is close to the Qishan Mountains. If our army moves the artillery to the top of the mountain and shoots from a high position, the coalition forces will definitely be at a loss."

"At all times, if the air force throws gasoline bombs and burns the food and grass of the coalition army, even if Xiang Yu has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to support him alone!"

"But."

Fu Su hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Hot air balloons can only move with the wind, how do you guarantee the wind direction on that day?"

"This doomsday has been researched for a long time. According to the local villagers, every year in late June, there will be a mountain wind blowing from east to west in Qishan. We can launch an attack when the mountain wind comes!"

"."

When everyone heard Han Xin's words, their faces changed slightly, and they thought that Han Xin was very powerful. Before the start of the war, they had already expected that the rebel army would be stationed in Fufeng, and they also knew the local situation in advance.

Suddenly, everyone realized that this Han Xin should not be underestimated.

　Thank you Fengyu Wufei for the 1500 rewards.
