Qiang Qin

"Did you know that it turned out that General Song led his troops to resist the invasion of the Qin people, but the real purpose was to support the soldiers for self-respect."

"It goes without saying that whoever has 20 horses in his hand will listen to others' orders. If it were me, I would be a king on my own."

"Besides, he even got together with Master Ling Yinqu in the court, saying that when the time comes, the inside and the outside will cooperate to abolish the king."

"And I also heard that he has negotiated peace with the people of Qin, saying that he will become a minister to Qin after the king is removed, as long as Qin makes him the king of the South."

"I said why he just doesn't fight the Qin people, so it's because of this idea."

"Yes, the 20 army is actually confronting the [-] Qin army. No one believes that he has no dissent. Maybe he is still negotiating terms with Qin. After all, it is still some distance from Xianyang, and it will take a long time to go back and forth. some time."

Rumors spread one after another in Kuaiji County, and almost all the people knew that Song Yi led his troops out not to fight the Qin army, but to negotiate peace with the Qin people.The news quickly reached Xiang Liang's ears. He just smiled contemptuously when he heard the news, because he knew that Song Yi would not make peace with the Qin people, and he also thought that Song Yi's approach was right, and now he had to rely on The geographical advantage consumes the vigor of the Qin people.If you take the initiative to attack, the Qin people will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Only when there is a problem with the supply of food and grass for the Qin army is the time when the Chu army will not attack head-on.So when Fan Zeng came to tell him about this, he just said lightly: "This is just a divorce plan by the Qin people. What should we do with him? Think about the Qin people who were afraid of Lian Po's ability in the battle of Changping. Propagating Lian Po’s passiveness and slack in the war, thus replacing Zhao Kuo, who didn’t know how to fight, and in the end hundreds of thousands of Zhao’s troops were all killed, Zhao Guo also declined from prosperity, how can I repeat the same mistakes?”

Fan Zeng nodded and said: "The general is right. This is indeed a divorce plan by the Qin people to force Song Yi to send troops. They want the king to issue an edict to let him send troops. But why didn't the general find out that this is a way to deal with Qu Dou and others?" Is it a good opportunity for people? We must wait for Song Yi to be defeated before regaining the military power. As long as you speak to the king and spread rumors, the king will inevitably have a reaction against Song Yi and Qu Dou. Suspicious, so the general was replaced as the main general. Moreover, the general is not Zhao Kuo, and Song Yi is not Lian Po. If the general leads the troops, it will be even more difficult for the Qin people to make progress."

"What you said is unreasonable, but now is the time when the country is facing a crisis, is it too insidious for me to do so?" Xiang Liang asked worriedly.

"General, don't you forget that they don't care about this when they attack you. The little general was also forced away by them. Did they consider the insidious methods at that time? We are just repaying others with their own methods. If In this battle, the general can really repel the Qin army again. Then Qu Dou and others will no longer be able to compete with the general. Advise the little general to come back, too," Fan Zeng urged.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, and then I'll go into the palace and talk to the king." Xiang Liang began to put on his official uniform as he spoke.

"General Xiang's words are serious?" After hearing Xiang Liang's words, the King of Chu asked hurriedly, his complexion darkened.

"This... I also heard it from the market, but it is groundless, and it may not be sound. Maybe General Song really has the heart to disobey me." Xiang Liang said, but he felt very ashamed in his heart. .

"The widow has to ask again, is it the Qin people's envoy's plan to divorce." Although the king of Chu is young, he is also very cautious.Immediately, he summoned the servants in the palace to go out and inquire about it.Not long after, the servant came back, and brought more serious and detailed things than what Xiang Liang said, not only about Song Yi's disobedience, but even what he said in the barracks Some disrespectful words came: "The king of Chu is young, how can he be the leader of a party if he has any virtue, this time I have an army of 20, and I will replace him." When you become kings, you will definitely be rewarded!"

Hearing these rebellious words, the King of Chu had completely believed Xiang Liang's words.Seeing King Chu's appearance, Xiang Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, before Song Yi can fully control the 20 horses, let me bring the King's decree to exchange him. Even if General Song didn't With a heart of treason, with such rumors, his position in the army will inevitably be damaged."

The King of Chu said without any hesitation: "Okay, then I will issue an order for you to control all the soldiers and horses in the country in order to win the general of Qin, and go to exchange Song Yi back to Kuaiji."

"I obey the order!" Xiang Liang hurriedly said and saluted the King of Chu.

When Qu Dou knew all this, Xiang Liang had already left the city with his own soldiers and the king of Chu's decree.Qu Dou could only gritted his teeth and scolded: "Old man Xiang Liang, you are too cunning. I will let you have a taste of this one day." But he had no other choice but to scold Xiang Liang, because those rumors There are also things that are not good for him. Now the king of Chu doesn't trust him very much. If he goes to defend Song Yi now, the king of Chu will probably take him first.

After Xiang Liang came to Sishui County, he read the edict of King Chu, exempted Song Yi from the military power on the spot, took his tiger talisman into his hands, and then sent him back to Kuaiji.Seeing that the military power he had finally obtained was gone like this, Song Yi was filled with anger and hurried back to Kuaiji immediately, he wanted to find out what was the reason for this.

Just as the Chu army was changing commanders, Qin's backup force of 5 troops had already arrived in Chen County.Zhang Han greeted Bai Ban and Wang Li into the city. As soon as they met, they cupped their hands and said, "General Zhang is really powerful. He has captured three cities of Chu State in less than half a month. It seems that it doesn't take two months. The land will re-enter my Daqin territory."

Zhang Han smiled and said a few words humbly, "Actually, our real opponent is already in front of us. Not only is the city of Surabaya high and thick, it is difficult to attack, but there are nearly 20 Chu troops inside and outside the city. I am afraid that the battle is not that simple, there is a saying in the art of war: five times to attack, ten to surround, now our soldiers and horses are half of others, this is a bit difficult."

"With General Zhang around, a mere 20 Chu soldiers will definitely not be a problem." After several victories against Zhang Han, Bai Ban has blindly trusted Zhang Han's ability.

Wang Li looked at Zhang Han's unfazed expression, and he knew in his heart that Zhang Han must have a way to defeat the enemy, so he said: "General, there is no need to be tricky, you can tell the way to defeat the enemy."

Zhang Han said: "According to my calculations, the Chu State must have found the 20 horses with the best efforts of the whole country, and there must be mixed good and bad. As long as we can wipe out all the 20 horses, then the Chu State will really die. But The 20 troops are just defending, so they can really cause big trouble to our Qin army, and maybe even defeat my 10 troops. But if they attack and we defend the city, then they can fight against the law My battle-tested Daqin policemen are against me."

"That's true, but what can the general do to get the people of Chu to attack us? We must know that we are attacking Chu now, and they are on the defensive side." Wang Li asked.

"General Wang is too worried. Since General Zhang has thought of the enemy's weakness, he will naturally have a way to lure them out." Bai Ban is still full of confidence in Zhang Han.

"It's actually very simple. I borrowed the method of the famous general Bai Qi from the generation of General Bai's ancestors in Changping, and used countermeasures to force the king of Chu to force Song Yi to lead the army to attack me. When the time comes, we can let these The people of Chu have tried their best." Zhang Han said confidently, very satisfied with his plan.

"The general really has a good strategy. In this way, even if the king of Chu has Xiang Liang and other famous generals under his command, they still have soldiers under his command." Wang Li nodded repeatedly.But then he asked: "However, what if the king of Chu fell for the general's plan and did not urge him to attack, but changed the general? If Xiang Liang came instead, wouldn't we have helped the people of Chu instead?" take it?"

Zhang Han was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this to happen, but then he shook his head and said, "Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang's nephew, brought his army and horses with him this time, which is like a rebellion. I don't think the king of Chu will be so relieved of Xiang Liang. If 20 people are handed over to this potential traitor, can the king of Chu sleep peacefully? So I think the king of Chu will only urge Song Yi to send troops."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came into the hall and said: "General, there is a soldier from Chu State outside the city to deliver a letter, saying that their chief general wrote to the general."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Zhang Han took the letter strangely, and asked casually, "What about the person who delivered the letter?"

The soldier said: "He delivered the letter and left."

Zhang Han unfolded the silk book and looked at it. After a while, his face darkened, and then he handed the letter to Wang Li and said, "Unexpectedly, you were right. I am really secretive. The king of Chu really changed his mind just before the battle." General, we have sent Xiang Liang to replace Song Yi, this time the enemy we are facing will be even more difficult to deal with."

Wang Li took a closer look and saw that the letter read: "Xiang Liang, General of the Great Chu Begging Qin, would like to thank General Zhang. If you have a plan, I am afraid that this general is still growing flowers and vegetables in Kuaiji City, but now he is lucky With your help, I was able to regain control of the military, Xiang Liang would like to thank you, I will do my best to compete with the general on the battlefield, and I hope the general will give me some advice." Looking at this letter, Wang Li also felt dumbfounded, Apparently Xiang Liang was telling Zhang Han that he had seen through his strategy, and at the same time mocking the failure of his strategy.

Zhang Han sighed and said: "Unexpectedly, my strategy helped Xiang Liang, but you and I have to compete on the battlefield, Xiang Liang, just wait!" He took the silk book over. Put it on fire and burn it to ashes.
