Destiny Only Han

Chapter 94 Yin Ruins (3k)

In July, the fire is burning and the sun is scorching.

In the camp of the allied forces of the princes on the south bank of the Zhangshui River, the presumptuous and heroic vigor before disappeared. Both the generals and the soldiers are all listless at the moment, as if they have been dried out.

They have been out of food for a full day.

At this time, the wild fruits in the mountains are not yet ripe, and the wild vegetables in the field are already unbearable.

As for hunting and fishing?

Hundreds of thousands of troops want to rely on these things to feed themselves, it is simply a dream.

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng closed their eyes and said nothing, Zang Tutian and Zhongli Meilongqie and others quarreled, accusing the Chu army of hiding food and not sharing it with their troops.

Zhang Er on the side waited for a while, seeing that they were still arguing endlessly, so he said in a deep voice, "Retreat."

"what?"

Tian Du was furious, his fire-breathing eyes fixed on Zhang Er.

Everyone else has a retreat, but he violated King Qi's order and led troops to rescue Zhao privately.

Withdraw at this time, the only thing waiting for him is a dead end!
Zhang Er looked sideways and said: "Before Zhang Han wanted to surrender, but you refused, and then decided to continue attacking the Qin army, but you were unwilling, and finally ran out of food reserves. Now, while the soldiers are still physically strong, we should withdraw early, so as not to Qin Jun took advantage of it and entered!"

Tian Du was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this old guy is waiting here!
If Zhang Han's surrender is accepted, there is no merit to destroy Qin, how can he be crowned king?
If you attack the Qin army and wipe out all the troops in your hands, how can you protect yourself?
So Tian Du turned his head and continued to quarrel with Zhong Limei and the others, asking them to take out the stored food and share it equally with everyone for the sake of everyone being a rebel army.

Seeing Tian ignored him, Zhang Er could only talk to himself:
"He Zhang Han asked the price all over the sky, can't we just pay back the money on the spot?"

"Qin is doomed! Even if Ying Zheng comes back from the dead, he won't be able to keep it alive. Not only King Chu, but my king also said so!"

Zang Tu turned his head and asked in a hurry: "Can Zhang Han agree to this kind of condition? Even if he agrees, can Qin Jun agree?"

The corners of Zhang Er's mouth raised slightly: "Today is different from the past, it's up to him whether he agrees or not!"

"Yesterday I received the battle report. Shenyang has captured the land of Henan (Luoyang), Zhao Ben, the governor of Sanchuan County, retreated to Kaifeng, and the connection between the Qin army and Zhang Han in the Guanzhong area has been completely severed! And Wei Wangjiu's younger brother, son Leopard borrowed thousands of troops from King Huai, and captured more than twenty cities in Wei!"

"At this point, the place where Zhang Han is located has been surrounded by the rebels on three sides, and it has become a dead place! Unless they don't want to live, otherwise... everything is up to us!"

After Zhang Er finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the big tent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Sima Ang, who was sitting cross-legged beside Zhang Er, was even more surprised, a little unbelievable.

He knew that Shen Yang was one of Zhang Er's disciples, and he usually only talked about it, but he didn't see any real skills in him.

But is such a person able to quietly lead the army south, cross the river, and defeat Zhao Ben, the prefect of Sanchuan?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Sima Ang thought to himself that Shen Yang's success might have something hidden behind it. He quietly glanced at Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng who had closed his eyes and said nothing, and vaguely felt that there must be something he didn't understand.

So he also closed his eyes and said nothing, just sat and watched the situation change.

Fan Zeng was silent for a moment, and then said: "When our army set out, the king of Chu said that the one who enters Guanzhong first will be the king. Now that Zhang Han intends to surrender, why is our army struggling here?"

"You can see that Zhang Han's previous agreement to surrender was ordered by Qin Prime Minister Li Si. Now that Li Si has been sentenced to five punishments and died, even if Zhang Han surrendered, the road to Guanzhong will no longer be open to our army. ..."

After he finished speaking, he remained silent again.

But Tian Du and the others who were silent in the tent nodded secretly. Fan Zeng made it very clear that Zhang Han surrendered at this time, which represented the army he commanded, not Qin.

In other words, the achievement of destroying Qin is still there, battles are still fought, and they still have the possibility of becoming kings!
Thinking of this, Sima Yang got up and walked to the center, clasped his fists and said: "We will obey the command of the general!"

Driven by him, Tian Du Zang Tu and others around him also stood up together, clasped their fists and saluted.

…………

Yin Ruins, on the bank of Huan River.

The woods are quiet, only the sound of wind blowing the leaves.

Zhang Han walked alone in the forest, and tomorrow is the day for formal negotiations between the two sides.

He did not expect the twists and turns in the Chu army, and he did not expect that the Qin army could pass unanimously here.

After conquering Xianyang City, the officers and generals were promoted to five ranks of titles, and the soldiers were promoted to three ranks of titles.

So, everyone turned their backs on Qin...

It is true that its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, on the constant water, the two-leaf boat slowly moved closer together.

This was Zhang Han's first time getting close to Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu also saw the enemy who killed his uncle up close.

But on his face, he did not see the slightest hatred of the enemy. On the contrary, he asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, you dare to come to see me alone, you are really brave!"

Zhang Han shook his head: "The general is absurd! I have no way out, so I have to!"

Xiang Yu didn't change his face, he just sneered in his heart, if it wasn't for Zhang Han's order, would Zhao Ben, the governor of Sanchuan County, have left without a fight and handed over the land of Henan to Shenyang?

This person is shrinking his troops step by step in order to preserve his strength and want to get more?
I just can't let him wish!
Xiang Yu said seriously: "My king said that the one who enters Guanzhong first will be the king. If the general surrenders, he can be a false king for the time being. After the allied forces enter the pass, he will be King Yong, the king of Guanzhong!"

Zhang Han nodded slightly, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Xiang Yu was silent, he asked, "What about Captain Dong Yi?"

Xiang Yu sneered: "What contribution does he have to Chu?"

Zhang Han explained: "Captain Dong Yi is in charge of the military talisman. If he hadn't agreed, the Qin army would never have surrendered."

Xiang Yu nodded: "Since this is the case, the Qin army will be the main force to enter the pass. After entering the pass and destroying the tyrant Qin, we will reward those who have made meritorious deeds!"

Zhang Han was stunned, he absolutely did not expect such a situation today.

Without the secret cooperation of Li Si's henchmen, the guard of Hangu Pass would definitely not let the coalition troops enter the pass easily.

At that time, there must be bloody battles again and again.

Zhang Han's eyes were slightly closed and his expression was solemn, but when things were like this, he had no choice.

…………

On the left bank of Hengshui, the soldiers waiting anxiously burst into cheers.

The contract has been completed, and it will not be used for this long-term confrontation anymore!

It's just that when the Qin army lined up to surrender, a captain of the Zhao army suddenly froze, trembling all over.

He strode towards a middle-aged man in Qin Junzhong who had a long scar on his face and was dressed as an officer. He grabbed the other man's skirt with his hands, his eyes tearing apart:
"23 years ago, when the city of Handan was broken, were you there?"

Seeing the middle-aged man's eyes dodging, he didn't answer the question directly, so he stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and asked again in a low voice:
"23 years ago, when the city of Handan was broken, were you there?"

His voice was low, but filled with endless hatred and anger.

"talk!"

He roared suddenly, with murderous aura soaring, that everyone present shivered in shock.

The middle-aged man trembled with his lips: "No, I'm not here, you've got the wrong person..."

Corporal Zhao's tone was gloomy, and he paused every word: "You're lying! Let me ask you, how did you get those scars on your face?"

The middle-aged man looked away, and just repeated: "You've got the wrong person... You've got the wrong person..."

Corporal Zhao's voice was hoarse, crying like complaining:
"I was only five years old that year. Before you broke in, my parents hid me and my sister in the pile of firewood. You killed my father, killed my mother, and robbed my family's money. Search, in order to protect me, my sister was... discovered by you... in front of me... in front of me..."

His throat gradually choked, and the helplessness, desolation, longing, nostalgia and pain kneaded together, which made all Zhao soldiers present feel a sense of common hatred and hatred.

He took a sharp breath, suppressing the tears that were about to burst out: "The scar on your face was scratched by my sister, and there is her resentment, her hatred, this hatred, I will never die. will forget!"

He forcefully pushed the middle-aged man to the ground, and drew his sword out of its sheath: "Give back the lives of my parents! Give back my sister... Give back my sister's life!"

He is like a mad tiger, slashing wildly with his sword.

Blood splashed on his face, blurring his vision, but when he was young, the bloody memories, the decapitation of his parents, the pale face of his sister before she died, the corners of her mouth that were raised with difficulty, It fried his heart like boiling oil, made him suffer so much that he couldn't sleep at night!
At this moment, he seemed to hear a song that his elder sister liked very much, but because his parents refused to let him, he often sang in hiding.

"Swallows and swallows are flying, but their feathers are different. The son returns home, and is sent away to the wild. Looking forward, weeping like rain..."

The Qin army around wanted to dissuade them, but under the pressure of the allied soldiers who were on the sidelines, they had to turn their heads and turned a deaf ear to the shrill and sharp screams.

Zigong asked Confucius in the old days: "What is it like to be the enmity of your parents?"

The Master said: "Sleeping with a thatch and a dry pillow, and not being an official, I will share the world with you. When you encounter various markets and dynasties, you will fight instead of fighting against the army."

In "Gongyang Zhuan", it is even more preached that not only contemporary revenge can be avenged, but even after a hundred generations, revenge can still be avenged.

That is the so-called "distant ancestors, how many lives? Nine lives. Is it possible to take revenge in the ninth life? Even if it is a hundred lives."

Although such remarks are recorded and propagated by Confucianism, any religion or school derived from the nation, the dogmas or theories of the two must be the sublimation and summary of the customs and habits of the nation.

Therefore, when the news of the soldiers of the Zhao army cutting up the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army reached the tent of the coalition army during the day, apart from Zhang Han who expressed his indignation and demanded severe punishment, the other generals of the coalition army, especially Chen Yu, expressed their indignation. highly praised.

Well, the main purpose of Chen Yu's praise is for Xiang Yu's yin and yang.

After all, people want to avenge their dead relatives, but Xiang Yu treats the man who killed his uncle as a guest of honor...

In this regard, Xiang Yu found an excuse one day later and asked him to go back to Nanpi for fishing and hunting...
