Qiang Qin

Feng Shui took turns, and now it was the turn of the Qin people to defend the city and the Chu army to attack.Since the death of Xiang Liang on the plain that day, the Chu-Qi allied forces have been chasing after the defeated Qin army.But because Zhang Han left a lot of ambushes along the way, Chu Junfa finally caught up with them in time, and Qin Jun was able to retreat safely to Chenjun.But not long after they closed the city gate, the Chu army also arrived, and soon an army of 20 surrounded Chen Jun.But before the arrival of the Chu army, Zhang Han had already sent fast horses to Xianyang. At this critical juncture, Zhang Han had to ask the court for help, hoping that Hu Hai could send another army to help.

Fortunately, there is Chen Jun as a support, so although the Qin army is exhausted, its morale is low, and its numbers are not as good as the Qi-Chu coalition army, it still has a firm foothold and confronts them across the city.The Chu army was also exhausted from the days of hard fighting and the long-distance pursuit of the past few days. Therefore, after the Qi-Chu coalition army surrounded Chen Jun, they were not in a hurry to attack, but stood still and waited for the soldiers' vitality to recover. Method.At the same time, Liu Bang also sent people to Surabaya to tell Xiao He who was staying there about the situation of the battle, and asked him to report the victory to the King of Chu. At the same time, he also asked the soldiers of Surabaya to bring the siege equipment.

But before his people arrived in Surabaya, the sons of the Xiang family had already returned to Surabaya City.After meeting Fan Zeng, they told him the news of Xiang Liang's death in battle, but because they were among tens of thousands of troops, they didn't realize that the arrow that killed Xiang Liang was shot from their own formation. It was because of Liu Bang's refusal to compromise that Xiang Liang died in front of the two armies.But it was enough to make them hold a grudge against Liu Bang.

"Sir, now that the general has been killed by Liu Bang, we will definitely become the targets he wants to get rid of quickly. If we don't act first, I'm afraid that when he returns to the army, it will be like the day we die." One person said, His tone was full of resentment.

Although Fan Zeng's heart was also full of anger, he didn't think that his current strength could oppose Liu Bang. Now Liu Bang can control nearly 20 troops, and there is also his confidant Xiao Hezai in the city of Surabaya. Those [-] people may not all be willing to listen to their orders. If they want to deal with Liu Bang now, it is simply impossible.So Fan Zeng sighed and said: "Now I don't have military power in my hands, but Liu Bang has great power in my hands. Even if we strike first, we can't do him any harm. I'm afraid your ideas won't be implemented."

The disciples of the Xiang family were angry for a moment when they said that just now, but now they came to their senses when they heard Fan Zeng's words, the strength difference between them and Liu Bang is too far, and there is no way to avenge Xiang Liang, everyone's faces are full of grief and indignation.Suddenly one person said: "But General Xiang Yu still has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, why don't we go to him, and with General Xiang Yu's ability, he will definitely get rid of Liu Bang and avenge General Xiang Liang." , think this is indeed a good way.

Fan Zeng looked at them, and knew that he couldn't make them temporarily succumb to Liu Bangxu, so he said: "Then you should go to Jiujiang to find Xiang Yu before the news comes, but you must persuade him to make a decision and then make a decision." Move, don't act impulsively."

"What about you, sir?"

"If I leave, I will definitely be noticed by Xiao He. Then none of us can leave. Only after Xiang Yu leads troops to get rid of Liu Bang, can I meet Xiang Yu. And I can also play a role in spying on their actions here. It works. Without further ado, you guys go out of the city now." Fan Zeng was still very calm, and he didn't lose his balance because of Xiang Liang's death.

So that night, the children of the Xiang family left Sishui City and headed for Jiujiang.But they didn't run very far, and just a few hundred miles away from Surabaya City, they met Xiang Yu who was leading an army to help Xiang Liang.After listening to the narrations of these people, although Xiang Yu still doesn't know who killed this Liang, he has confirmed one thing, that is, Liu Bang must have a "credit" for killing Xiang Liang. "You said that Liu Bang is leading the army to chase the Qin army and go to Chen County?" Xiang Ta was more thoughtful, and asked the point.

"Yes, most of the armies of Chu and Qi have rushed to Chen County. They must be able to take down Chen County and drive the Qin people out of my big Chu territory in a while?" One person replied.

Xiang He spread out a map made of leather, pointed to Ji County and Sishui County and said: "General, now that Liu Bang's army is in Chen County, there must not be too many guards in Sishui City. General Liang's revenge, why not send troops to take down this Sishui County. Once Liu Bang's logistics is lost, he will definitely fight, and we can use the hands of the Qin people to eradicate part of his strength first. When he returns to Sishui City, we will The possibility of killing him is also higher."

"Yes, there must still be soldiers loyal to my Xiang family in the city, and Mr. Fan is there to support it. It will not be difficult to capture Sishui City. Order the three armies to march at night, and I will deal with them in the next day. Then Sishui City launched an attack. Since my uncle died because of this Chu country, I will take it down and use it as the foundation of my Xiang family, so as to try to conquer the world!" Xiang Yu said proudly.He has always only thought of being able to create his own piece of the world, but because of the existence of Xiang Liang, he did not want to make Chu's idea, but by this time, he had changed his mind and decided to seize the power of Chu to stand on his own.

This team is composed of the best fighters in Chu State trained by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, so even if they march at night, their speed is not lower than that of marching during the day. He was trained, so when he heard that Xiang Liang was killed by Liu Bang, he shared a common hatred with the enemy and wanted to take Liu Bang's life to avenge Xiang Liang.So along the way, the army arrived at Surabaya City without much delay.

When Xiang Yu's army arrived at Sishui City, the soldiers guarding the city were still dozing off. When they saw the army holding the banner with the word "Xiang" suddenly attacking them, those soldiers thought it was Xiang Liang who was carrying the ulterior motives. When the soldiers came to kill, they panicked for a while.Xiang Yu's army was allowed to climb to the top of the city without even displaying the necessary defensive skills.It only took an hour, and Xiang Yu had already captured Sishui City, which had blocked the Qin army for several months.Of course, this is not because Xiang Yu's army is stronger than Qin's army. In the final analysis, it is because his attack was too unexpected for the defenders, and the sergeant thought that Xiang Liang came in with Yin to attack, and he lost his fighting spirit for a while, which made him attack. Easy access to town.

Xiao He had already guessed that Xiang Yu was attacking the city when he heard that a team with Xiang's banner was attacking the city. This is what he could think of when he heard the people sent by Liu Bang say that Xiang Liang was dead. Yes, it's just that he didn't expect Xiang Yu's army to attack when he knew the news, so he couldn't take corresponding measures in time. He only had time to open the city gate and escape from the other side with a few cronies before Xiang Yu broke the city. Go out and send the news to Liu Bang who is fighting against the Qin people so that he can be prepared.

"I defeated the three counties of Chudidong, Dang, and Chen with 20 people, and then even pointed at Surabaya. Unexpectedly, the Chu people resisted to the end, and a total of [-] people from all over the country rushed to help Surabaya. I wanted to spend time with my Daqin army under the city of Surabaya. In order to lure the Chu army out of the city, I lied that the court had ordered the army to retreat. The Chu people really caught the trick and led their troops to chase them. In a valley, the minister They wiped out more than [-] Chu troops who were chasing them, and captured their leader Xiang Liang alive. However, Xiang Liang's troops were only vanguards, and tens of thousands of Chu troops came after them. The rebels from Qi State came and raided our army’s flanks, causing our army to be defeated by the Chu people, and we were not allowed to lead the troops to retreat to Chen County. Now we have to stick to Chen County and wait for the imperial army to come to help. The guilty general Zhang Han will be punished.” After reading a letter by Hu Hai, he threw it on the ground of the main hall. He said angrily, "I thought that Zhang Han would bring an army of [-] to recover the land of Chu, but unexpectedly, he was defeated by them." , How is that different from the failure of Bai Ban and Zhao Changke that day, what a waste, but now he still wants to ask me for soldiers!"

After Zhao Gao received this letter of appeal for help from Chen County, he felt that it was a good opportunity for Hu Hai to agree to transfer the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass, and at the same time, he could even let Hu Hai send more troops out. Time to plan their success is even greater.Hearing what Hu Hai said, Zhao Gao quickly put in a good word for Zhang Han: "In fact, General Zhang is already the No. In addition, he also killed Xiang Liang, the most powerful general of the Chu State, which will be of great help to us in the future. If we don’t take back Chu in one go, I’m afraid it will be impossible to regain Chu in the future. Such a good opportunity. At the same time, it will also hurt General Zhang's self-confidence. I am afraid that he will face the Chu army again in the same way as now, so I ask the emperor to order another army to help General Zhang. He completely wiped out the state of Chu."

Ziying also echoed at the side: "This time, what Master Zhao said is true, as long as the emperor sends an army to Chu, Chu will be destroyed by me, and then Qi and Fusu will be destroyed by me, and I will conquer the world of Qin." It’s back to the old way.”

Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao, then at Ziying, nodded after a long time and said: "Then, as Zhang Han asked, I will order the army guarding Hangu Pass to go out to help, and at the same time gather all the troops from the counties and counties. Get up and go to Chu together, this time I must take back Chu and kill all those rebellious officials and thieves!" After he finished speaking, he began to write the imperial decree.

Zhao Gao and Ziying, who were lowering their heads, exchanged winks and both showed smug smiles.
