Qiang Qin

Fusu currently has 5 to 2 horses, but it is impossible to take all of them to Xianyang this time. After all, Fusu now occupies more counties, and the [-] horses in Beidi County are led by Meng Yi to guard there. In order to prevent the Huns from the north from invading, they cannot move. In addition, counties such as Shanggu, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan have just repelled the Huns who invaded the future, but the tens of thousands of horses stationed in them cannot be easily transferred. And Zhou Xing became the guard in those counties, in case the Huns did not give up and came to plunder again.

So this time Fusu only brought 8 horses, and Chen Ping was left by him in Shangjun City to allocate food and grass for them in the front and comfort the rear.Chen Ping also knew the great responsibility of this responsibility, which also showed Fusu's trust in him, so he took over this heavy responsibility.The generals accompanying Fusu this time were Han Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Zhang Wu and others. Zhang Liang served as the military advisor of the army, and Lord Canghai served as the striker. People and horses, but if he encounters the obstruction of the Qin army, he will take the lead in defeating the enemy.

The army went all the way to the south, and soon arrived in Taiyuan County. After rectifying the troops and bringing all the siege equipment with them, the army left Taiyuan and went to Shangdang.Although Fusu did not bring too many troops this time, he was prepared to fight steadily. On the one hand, it was because the failure of the raid on Xianyang last time made Fusu give up the idea of ​​one-step success; Not many people stayed behind.

As a modern person, Fusu knows that the offensive of public opinion is sometimes more useful than the actual attack, so before sending troops to attack, he has sent people to various counties and counties in Qin to spread the news, saying that Ziying and Zhao Gao teamed up to kill Hu Hai. Kill, and then seize his throne.Originally, the common people in the Qin land were deeply suspicious of Hu Hai's death, but firstly, because Hu Hai himself was unpopular, the common people were not very interested in his death, and secondly, because of Zhao Gao's iron fist, they dared not talk about it problem, so before Fusu sent people to spread the news, although the common people had doubts, they didn't know it very well.But Fusu combined the news he got from the book and the movie, plus his own guesses, and actually created a story that Zhao Gao and his two killed Hu Hai and took the throne. There was an uproar, and even those Qin soldiers and officials stationed in various places began to believe that this was true, because they did not see it with their own eyes, and the law explained it in such detail.

When Fusu's army came to Shangdang City, the soldiers in Shangdang City were having a headache whether they should arrest those people who were talking about Hu Hai's death.It used to be the usual style of Qin people, but there was no need for substantial evidence to convict people of misconduct, but the situation is different now. The defenders in the city are only a few thousand, and this Shangdang is It turned out that the Zhao country had just had an uprising a few years ago, so the defenders did not dare to force the people too much, but the news spread so badly that they had no choice but to force it down.At this time, Fusu arrived with a large army, and he was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he ordered people to shoot into the city a call for thieves, which listed several serious crimes committed by Zhao Gao and Ziying, and explained own justice.This made the Qin army guarding the city suspicious, and what Fusu said was the truth.

The generals guarding the city saw that the soldiers inside had begun to waver, and the Fusu army outside the city was approaching menacingly. They knew that they could not defend the city, and if they abandoned the city, they would surely die if they fled to Xianyang. , So he took his heart and surrendered to Fusu.In this way, Fusu took down the first city without a single soldier using only a rumor, which also made the soldiers around him admire and greatly increased their confidence in taking Xianyang .

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away, the news spread by Fusu unexpectedly spread to Xianyang City very quickly, and fell into the ears of Zhao Gao and the others.As soon as the two of them heard that someone actually started to spread the news, they began to search and arrest the person who spread the news in Xianyang City with ghosts in their hearts.But now the news has been known to the whole city, and the army doesn't know who to arrest. In desperation, Ziying had to decree that Hu Hai's death should be punished as treason, which made the news suppressed. .But before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, another news came from the other side. Under the banner of avenging his brother, Fusu openly rebelled, and now he has killed Shangdang city.

"When Hu Hai was the emperor, Fu Su once said that he was not in the right position and supported himself in Shangjun City. Now when Hu Hai died, he led troops to attack my Xianyang as his elder brother. In fact, everyone can see that he is It's an excuse, but its real purpose is to capture Xianyang and seize the throne." Zhao Gao said indignantly, his expression was for all the ministers in the hall to see.

In fact, everyone present knew that Hu Hai's death this time must be a conspiracy by Zhao Gao and the two, but they didn't say anything because their wealth and life were in the hands of the other party. Unknowingly showing contempt.But there are still some people among them who are completely willing to work for Zhao Gao, and some of them said: "What the Prime Minister said is true, the intention of helping Su is sinister, but fortunately, the army and people of Great Qin are united, so we will definitely not accept him." instigation."

Zhao Gao smiled with satisfaction, and followed the man's words: "So according to my opinion, the emperor should issue an edict, mentioning the crime of helping Su, and then send a large army to destroy it."

Ziying had discussed it with Zhao Gao long ago when he was in the harem, and now he said: "I'm just as the prime minister thought, this Fusu is a traitor and traitor, and I, the army and the people of the Great Qin, will punish him if they get it, so I will come down now." Order General Zhang Han to lead his troops back to help, and kill Fusu on our land of Great Qin."

All the ministers saw that Zhao Gao and Gao were prepared, so they didn't say anything more, and left after singing their praises.And Zhao Gao was also busy going back and sending people around Xianyang City to watch out for anyone who took advantage of this opportunity to spread unfavorable news.

On the way back to the harem, Ziying felt uneasy: "Now the Fusu troops have killed Shangdang, there are only thousands of troops guarding that place, I'm afraid they can't stop him, and the cities behind are also like Shangdang. , there is no way to block the footsteps of the Fusu army. However, Zhang Han's army is still fighting the Chu people in the Chu land. Regardless of whether they may be entangled with the Chu people and return to the teacher for rescue, even if they come, I am afraid it will be difficult. Save the fire, and when they come, the city of Xianyang will fall into Fusu's hands. Seeing what Fusu did in the past, it was mostly because of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. If I kill Zhao Gao, I will kill him again. Sending Fusu's head to Fusu may solve this difficult problem. I also heard that Fusu has never had much ambition for the throne, otherwise he would not be driven out of Xianyang by Yingzheng that day. If I can solve Fusu's With hatred in his heart, he might retreat and stop fighting. I will get rid of Zhao Gao sooner or later, why not get rid of him now and solve the current crisis?" Thinking of this, Ziying has already made up his mind to kill Zhao Gao He came up with the idea of ​​retreating to help Su Dajun.

At this time, Ziying's first imperial decree after ascending the throne had already been delivered to Zhang Han.In the past few days, Zhang Han led the army to attack continuously, forcing the Chu army to retreat again and again. After several battles, Zhang Han also found that the number of the Chu army had been greatly reduced. It seems that there are already many Chu soldiers. Having become a deserter, Zhang Han is more confident that he can wipe out the Chu army in a short time.At this moment, the imperial decree arrived.Zhang Han looked at the imperial decree, then at the person who came to issue the imperial decree, and said, "You mean that the second emperor died of a sudden illness a few days ago, and before he died, he ordered his son to inherit the throne?"

Under Zhang Han's eyes that can read people's hearts, the servant tremblingly said: "What the general said is true, so the emperor ordered me to pass the order to the general, because the new emperor ascended the throne and the world is not very stable. Only the general can stabilize the world." role."

"But do you know that this general brought a large army to Chu, and has already lost tens of thousands of horses, and now Chu is about to be destroyed, if the troops return to Xianyang, then the lives of those soldiers who died will be wronged. For the sake of those soldiers who have gone around so that they don’t die in peace, and for the sake of my Great Qin having one less enemy in the future, this general has decided to destroy Chu State first, and then return to Xianyang!” Zhang Han ordered the servant to be sent out of the tent.

Now that he had made up his mind, Zhang Han no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered someone to attack the Chu army again.After more than ten days of fighting, the fighters on both sides are already familiar with the enemy's tactics.So as soon as they saw the changes in the Qin army's formation, the Chu army already knew that the Qin army had launched an attack on them again. They were also busy arranging defenses while leading the army back. Nor is it a big step back.

As soon as the two armies clashed, the Chu army kept retreating as before, while the Qin army kept moving forward. The original position of the Chu army soon fell into the hands of the Qin people.In this way, Zhang Han temporarily stopped attacking again, and he did not dare to push the Chu army too far, so that they would fight to the death, and the Qin army would suffer a great loss.

"General, this time the Chu army did not set up camp immediately after our army stopped attacking, but kept retreating." A soldier came to report to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han asked, "How far is this place from Sishui City?"

"There are still more than 50 miles, and it can be reached in half a day at the speed of an army."

"Since it is impossible for the people of Chu to escape from our pursuit, why are they no longer retreating and fighting? There must be deceit. Order the three armies to catch up quickly, and the Chu army cannot be too far away!" Zhang Han Immediately felt that something was wrong, ordered.

The army of Qin army started to chase after the army of Chu. Suddenly they found a mountain pass in front of them. It seemed that a large number of people were ambushing indistinctly. thing.
