"The State of Zhao was still destroyed by the troops led by Zhang Han." Fusu looked at the message in his hand that was obtained by the spies who risked their lives to stay near Handan and said to the people sitting at the bottom.Then he handed the silk book to Meng Tian, ​​"Although we still don't know how Zhang Han used his troops to capture Handan in just a few days, the spies will return to Shangjun later, and they will definitely give us a satisfying answer."

Looking at the secret letter hastily, Meng Tian said: "At first, I thought that Zhao Guo would guard him for a month no matter what, but unexpectedly he was so vulnerable. As Zhao Guo was defeated by Zhang Han so quickly, the The morale of the Qin army has been greatly improved, and it has a great deterrent effect on the Chu people, maybe there are Chu soldiers who want to escape from the city they are stationed now."

Han Xin also looked at the silk book, and handed it to Chen Pingdao: "Zhang Han's move is indeed beautiful, if he hadn't been [-]% sure to take down Handan, I'm afraid he would not attack Handan City unexpectedly. It seems that our evaluation of Zhang Han has to be improved a bit, on the battlefield he is indeed able to do what no one can do. Did General Meng communicate with him when he was a general in the court?"

Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said: "When I was still in Xianyang that day, Zhang Han didn't show off the mountains and dews. When I went to the Xiongnu, there were only a few generals who could lead troops. One of them was Zhang Han, but I didn't. I have never had any friendship with him, because I went back to Xianyang and was busy entering the palace to report the war to the emperor, and when I left the palace, there were countless old colleagues who needed to socialize, and Zhang Han also led troops away after that. I only met him in literature and art at court meetings face, but don’t understand the rest.”

At this time, Fu Su spoke up: "I have a relationship with Zhang Han. A few years ago, I entered Xianyang Hui Nalisi privately. When I left Xianyang, I was intercepted and killed. General Meng should remember this."

"That's right. When the prince came back, he said that if Zhang Han hadn't happened to pass by when he led his troops back to Xianyang, I'm afraid you would have been killed by this bandit soldier of unknown origin. Then Zhang Han sent troops to escort the prince all the way. Going back to Shangjun, of course Meng will remember this, can the prince know something about him just by seeing him?" Meng Tian replied.

"It's hard to say that I understand, but I know the strength of the enemy that time. On the main road, they should be an elite army that can fight ten against one, but under the oppression of Zhang Han's army, those people are fundamental. The lack of power to fight back is enough to show that Zhang Han has trained his army well, and the army under his command is extremely powerful."

At this moment, Zhang Liang, who had been silent all this time, spoke: "Zhang Han is indeed very talented in military affairs. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army was really powerful that day, but they were vulnerable in front of him. After a few months He was captured alive and brought back to Xianyang alive, and the reason why the Zhao people became so useful later was because he swallowed several counties of Zhao after destroying Zhang Chu, and then surrounded Handan for several months. Now he With the most elite soldiers and horses in the world, it seems that it is indeed a difficult enemy to deal with."

Chen Ping also went on to say: "Not only did Zhang Han remain undefeated on the battlefield, but he was able to do both in the court. Hu Hai wanted to use his prestige in the army to suppress Zhao Gao, but he also He did not completely become an enemy of Zhao Gao, which shows that he is not an ordinary man who only knows how to fight on the battlefield. And after killing Zhao, his reputation in the Qin court will go further, and he may become the No. 1 in the dynasty."

"Hearing what some of you said, I feel that this Zhang Han is indeed a rare famous general with both civil and military skills. I really want to use him for myself, but what we should do now is to list him as ours. The enemy may compete with him on the battlefield in the future, so the most important thing we should do now is to know the characteristics of his army and how he was able to capture Handan in a short period of time." Fu Seeing that the crowd's evaluation of Zhang Han was getting higher and higher, Su hurriedly interrupted for fear of affecting his own morale.

"It will take until those spies come back to know the mystery." Chen Ping said naively.The advantage of their flying pigeons is that they are fast and not easy to be noticed, but because the weight of the pigeons is limited after all, and they have to fly a long distance, so the collected information can only be sent first. However, as for the details, the spies can only report back to Shangjun.But this time, Fusu and the others had already thought of the ending, but only wanted to know the process, which Feige Chuanshu was satisfied with.

Compared with Fusu's spies who need to hide their bodies, stay out day and night, and are afraid of being killed if their identities are exposed at any time, so they move slowly, Qin's military reports are much faster.Although they knew that the outcome of the matter would be much later than that of Fusu, they still received information about the entire war to destroy Zhao very quickly.Of course, the No. 1 who can open this battle report can only be Hu Hai, the emperor of Daqin today.

After reading the battle report, Hu Hai couldn't help saying: "Okay, General Zhang is worthy of being the No. 1 general of our Great Qin. He brought me such good news before he defeated Chu. I want to reward him and his subordinates General, Ziying, go and make arrangements."

"Observe the order!" Ziying took the order, and then he asked curiously, "I don't know what great achievements General Zhang has made to make the emperor Longyan happy?"

"Haha, then let me tell you a little bit." Hu Hai seemed in a good mood, and actually wanted to be an amateur storyteller, "General Zhang is worthy of being a famous general. Thinking of taking this opportunity to destroy the State of Zhao. He first led his troops to station in Hanoi County as the final preparations for conquering the State of Chu."

"Just when everyone in the world thought that he was going to lead troops to attack the Eastern Commandery of Chu State, he had dispatched 2 troops in batches to ambush near Handan Zhao. These are the most elite soldiers in our Great Qin Army Then he personally led [-] cavalry and [-] chariots to Handan City day and night."

"The people of Zhao in Handan would never have dreamed that my soldiers and horses from Daqin would attack them before the attack on Chu, so they were not prepared. And General Zhang calculated the distance so that his 5000 troops would attack them at dawn. , When the gates of Handan City were opened wide, we arrived at the foot of Handan City. General Zhang led 5000 troops into the city without the Zhao people being prepared, but the Zhao people who guarded the city did not respond."

"Could it be that Zhao Ren was so easily wiped out by General Zhang?" Ziying asked.

"Of course it's not that simple. The State of Zhao has always been famous for its brave soldiers. Although the Zhao people are no longer as brave as they used to be, there is still a Lian Hai who can stand on their own. Although the Zhao people were defeated by my army at the beginning They were caught off guard, but under the leadership of Lian Hai, the Zhao people actually used the inner city as a barrier to block General Zhang's attack, but Handan City has been destroyed by half of General Zhang, and they have less support."

"At the same time, the army that arrived outside the city of Handan before General Zhang also began to march into the city. Our Daqin soldiers are the bravest in the world. How can those Zhao soldiers guarding the inner city be their opponents? The outer city has fallen, and the elite soldiers of my Great Qin keep appearing in front of them like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Although these Zhao soldiers are still under the command of Lian Hai, they have no intention of rebelling at all. The soldiers broke into the inner city and captured Zhao Wangye and Lian Hai alive. General Zhang has ordered people to escort them to Xianyang, and they will arrive later. When they arrive, I will definitely "treat" them well." While speaking, Hu Hai There were bursts of sneers.

"It turns out that this is the case. General Zhang defeated Handan City with less than 4 horses. It is indeed a stroke of genius. No wonder the emperor is so happy. I also wish General Zhang that he can take advantage of this great victory and bring the people of Chu together." Get rid of it." Ziying hurriedly greeted him in a timely manner.

"General Juzhang said that when they entered the city, they found that the Zhao people were already preparing to send troops. Obviously, they also wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters of the battle between my Great Qin and the Chu people, and even wanted to attack my Great Qin. So General Zhang's dispatch of troops this time is very necessary, so he told those rebels to see what would happen if they were enemies of our Great Qin." Hu Hai showed his murderous intentions here.

"The minister is going to prepare some food and property now, so that he can send it to General Zhang." After saying this, he withdrew.

"... That's how it happened. Not only was Handan destroyed, Zhao Guo was destroyed, but even Zhao Wangye and many other officials were captured alive by Zhang Han and sent to Xianyang. After Zhang Han broke Handan, not only did he not How many troops have been lost, and how many weapons and provisions have been gained, which will be of great help to him in his attack on Chu." The spies stopped talking at this point.

Fusu waved his hand and ordered him to retreat, and said, "Zhang Han's move to attack him is really powerful. He took down Handan City in one fell swoop without much loss to his own side. It is indeed better than you and me. And the king of Zhao and the others The officials of the State of Zhao seem to be doomed. Thinking about the time when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were arrested and killed in Xianyang, the treatment of King Zhao should not be inferior to them. From then on, Zhang Han's name will definitely become a shadow in the hearts of many rebels. .”

"After listening to what the spies said just now, I have another opinion." Han Xin said suddenly, "He is just good at seizing opportunities. In fact, this battle did not show his ability on the battlefield. In fact, we don't have to think about him. It's too miraculous, General Yimeng and I may not be defeated by him on the battlefield."

Zhang Liang also echoed: "What General Han said is very true. Zhang Han will meet a real opponent next time. Xiang Liang of Chu is also a famous general who has never been born in the world. If he can really destroy Chu so easily, then We should really make it our strongest opponent."

Fusu couldn't help laughing, because he thought of a very famous battle in history—the Battle of Julu, in which Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han with a very small force, and now thinking about it, he really thought of Zhang Han. It's too powerful.So he said: "Okay, then ask our people to send the battle report to Shangjun at any time, so that the generals can analyze the characteristics of Zhang Han's use of troops here instead of fighting in Chu."
