I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 74

As soon as these words came out, Sima Xin and Dong Yi knew what Xiang Yu was up to.

The land of Qi and Zhao was first rebelled, and then Zhang Han led the army to quell it. There were two big battles, and after the local grain was expropriated for a round, they could barely support the people.

Therefore, most of the grain and grass Zhang Han needed for his expeditions abroad were transported from Guanzhong.

To transport grain out of Guanzhong, it is generally down the big river, and then transported to Qilu by Jishui; or by Luoshui and then Suishui, it can go to Chu.

It's just that Liu Bang and Wei Jun directly defeated Hanoi County a few days ago.

This put the original grain transportation channel in a rather embarrassing situation. If you want to go to the original Dahe or Luoshui, you must pass through Hanoi County.

If it continues to be transported, it will become a continuous delivery of supplies to Liu Bang.

Fusu had no intention of becoming the "captain of the transportation team", so he chose to start another transportation route.

The Qin army's grain transportation team went out of Guanzhong by Fenshui River, arrived in Shangdang County, and then transported it by land to Handan County, and then went to Qidi by Zhangshui River.

This route is alternately transported by water and land, and the consumption rate of grain and grass in the middle can reach four to five out of ten, which is quite amazing.

This is indeed a helpless move, but it is better than running out of food on the front line.

But now the fall of Handan County has made the situation of the Qin army on the front line even more embarrassing.

Sima Xin tentatively asked: "General Xiang wants to know the usual route of the Qin army's grain transport team? The grain transport team usually arrives once every ten days, and the next round of grain transport team will arrive in about five days."

Xiang Yu squinted his eyes and said, "The news of the fall of Handan should not spread quickly. According to your statement, the food transport team is about five days away from Handan.

And I hope you can bring this batch of food and grass back to Handan City in ten days.

This is a great achievement, plus the sacrifice of the city.Afterwards, I will send envoys to ask the king for a fief for you. "

The grain transportation team of the Qin Army generally has a fixed route, but it will not be clearly recorded. Usually, only the local governors along the way are responsible for reception.

But Sima Xin's authority is not low, and this grain transportation route is newly opened, so he needs a place to clear up the bandits along the road.

Therefore, he knew the specific route of the grain transport team coming out of Guanzhong in Handan County.

After taking a deep breath, Sima Xin suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

Sure enough, I made the right choice!

If he wanted to stay in Qin, how many heads would he have to order his soldiers to cut off, so that he could have a chance to be crowned king.

Now I am just offering the city, as for intercepting the food transport team, this is a sure thing, even if you bring two or three thousand soldiers, as long as you set up an ambush at the right place, you can succeed.

It is simply a credit that fell from the sky.

So he nodded repeatedly and said, "General Xiang is willing to entrust me with such an important task, and I will definitely live up to your trust."

Xiang Yu showed a gratified smile: "Uncle Sima will go to select the thousand Qin soldiers today, and then I will let my generals lead three thousand Chu troops to go with you, trying to securely intercept this batch of food and grass.

However, when we first came to Handan, we needed Lieutenant Dong to stay here and cooperate with us to settle down the soldiers and the people. "

The framework of these contents was taught to him by Chen Luo, such as monitoring the Qin army with an absolute number of Chu troops; Sima Xin and Dong Yi cannot go out at the same time, and one must stay in Handan.

So Xiang Yu only needs to fill in the specific details just now.

He set the ratio of the Chu army to the Qin surrendered soldiers at three to one, and made Dong Yi a "hostage" in Handan on the grounds of settling down the soldiers.

Sima Xin and Dong Yi looked at each other and replied in unison: "No, obey General Xiang's orders."

Even though they realized that Xiang Yu's approach was to guard against them, they could only choose to accept it in the face of the absolute difference in strength.

……

Time hastily entered June, the rainy season in the Jiangnan area has passed, the temperature has picked up, and the scorching sun has begun to become vicious.

Donghai County, inside the Qin army camp.

"Crack!" Zhang Han slammed the copybook in front of him, knocking all the bamboo slips on it to the ground.

He got up angrily and said: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Hanoi and Handan are lost, Guanzhong and our grain roads are all cut off, and there is Pengcheng in front of us. In one fell swoop to suppress the rebels, our army can't advance an inch."

After defeating the Chu army led by Song Yi last month, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

After all, Sishui County was behind him, so Song Yi had to lead his army to fight to the death.

At that time, Zhang Han was not in a hurry.

The Qin army already has the advantage, and it only needs to be consumed slowly, and the Chu army will collapse.

Therefore, he was thinking of waiting for a new batch of supplies to arrive, and then wipe out the Song Yi tribe in one go, and then capture Pengcheng, making an indelible contribution to Daqin.

But before the food and grass arrived, the bad news came first.

After Sima Xin and Dong Yi of Handan County rebelled and surrendered, it was directly "Chu army, please come this way" and took the grain transport team from Guanzhong.

The more deadly point is that there will be no food and grass that can be transported from Guanzhong to him.

And Linzi County and Jiaodong County in Qidi have been drained by him long ago. Maybe Langya County still has some surplus food, but it must not be able to support the construction of more than 20 Qin troops.

Zhang Han closed his eyes slightly, and let out a breath of foul air slowly.

In his mind, he was frantically analyzing the current situation, looking for a way to break it.

Seeing this, all the generals in the tent gasped cautiously, for fear of disturbing Zhang Han's train of thought.

After nearly a quarter of an hour passed, Zhang Han opened his eyes: "Everyone, the situation seems to be very smooth now, and Pengcheng, the core of the rebels, is right in front of us, but in fact the situation is already in dire straits.

The gang of rebels in Hanoi and Nanyang counties may attack Wuguan and Hangu Pass at any time.

Therefore, Guanzhong needs to station a large number of soldiers to guard these two passes, and it is difficult to mobilize enough troops to wipe out the rebels in Handan County.

So we will have difficulty getting food and grass.It seems that the other party is trying to force us to give up Pengcheng, which is at our fingertips, and return to the army to save it. "

Xin Sheng said: "General Zhang, I think there is absolutely no way to return to the army. For these rebels, Pengcheng is their confidant. First go to Pengcheng to put down the chaos."

Zhang Han sighed helplessly: "Old General Xin, do you think I don't understand these principles? If I go on a long-distance attack, the rebels will wait for their work. If I make a slight mistake in command on the way, the elite of the Great Qin Dynasty will be destroyed in my hands."

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the tent was low.

The situation they are now facing is indeed extremely dangerous. When the army is short of food, the soldiers are too hungry to lift their weapons. Even if they are the elite of the Great Qin Dynasty, they will not have the ability to fight.

At this time Zhang Han raised his head, and slowly scanned the generals in the room, seeing the depression on their faces.

After a long silence, he said hesitantly: "Actually, the current situation is not dead. I have a good plan to calm the chaos, but there are certain risks. I don't know if His Majesty will agree."
