Qiang Qin

Zhang Han was very contradictory, so he had to arrange for someone from the future to live in the camp first, and then discuss with Bai Ban, Wang Li and others.As soon as Bai Ban heard this, he said without thinking: "Now is a good time for us to defeat the Chu people in a big way. How can we give up easily? In my opinion, we can let Xianyang stick to it for a few days. Take it."

Wang Li said: "If Xianyang can't hold it anymore, then my army of more than [-] will surely collapse without a fight. Even if we destroy Chu, it will not be worth the loss."

"You can rest assured about this. My Xianyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It only needs tens of thousands of horses to block the attack of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. And there is Hangu Pass in front. As long as our soldiers of the Qin State stick to it and do not fight, it is expected that Fusu will definitely be able to attack Xianyang. After we destroy Chu, we will have time to go back to Xianyang to deal with Fusu." Bai Ban said.

Zhang Han was not as optimistic as he was, and said: "There are less than 5 or [-] troops available in the territory of Qin today, and most of them are old and weak soldiers. There is no way to stop Fusu's army. And don't forget that there is also General Meng Tian, ​​who is very prestigious in our Qin army, in the Fusu army, I am afraid that those soldiers will no longer have the confidence to fight when they see General Meng appearing." What he said was also the truth, Bai Ban was at a loss for words for a while.

At this time, Lu Jie, who had been silent for a long time, said: "If we don't retreat, even if we destroy Chu, and Xianyang is not destroyed by Fusu, and we will eliminate Fusu, we are still guilty before the emperor. At that time, not only will we not be able to get the emperor's forgiveness, but we will also be accused of resisting the decree. I am afraid we will not be able to bear it. But if we retreat, we will have to give up this good situation, and the Chu army will definitely come after us when we retreat. There must be injuries. If the emperor is a wise king, we will not retreat or we will be in danger, but Ziying is not in the right position, so he must be on guard against us. If he does not return to the army this time, he will just use an excuse to seize the military power of the generals. So the two evils are the lesser, we'd better go back and help Xianyang."

"Then what should we do when the Chu army is chasing us?" Zhang Han asked.

"Actually, it's uncertain whether the Chu army will come after them. The last time the general relied on the trick of luring snakes out of the hole to get Xiang Liang to rush out of the city. In the end, the entire army was wiped out, and even his own life could not be saved. This time, the Chu people have learned from the past. We may not dare to go out of the city to chase. At the same time, to be safe, we can also send people to set up ambushes on both sides of the road to prevent the Chu army from pursuing. When they see that we have an ambush, they may retreat under suspicion. So I think the Chu army The threat to us after leaving the city and after leaving the city will not be too great." Lu Jie said.

After listening to Lu Jie's analysis, Zhang Han stroked his sword with his hand, and he didn't speak for a long time. Everyone knew that he was weighing the pros and cons, so they kept quiet and looked at him, waiting for him to make the final decision.Finally Chief Zhang Han took a deep breath and said: "Let's pass the order to retreat. If you don't retreat, the honor and disgrace of me alone will be of little concern, but the safety and danger of my Great Qin will be of great concern."

At the head of Sishui City, Xiang Yu and a group of generals stood there looking at the Qin soldiers who were slowly retreating, feeling very puzzled.Several generals who followed Liu Bang to pursue the Qin army said: "Why is the Qin army repeating the same trick, trying to lure our army out of the city?" The memory of the battle a few days ago left them very deep, so Seeing Qin Jun retreating, their first reaction was that Qin Jun was going to trick them out of the city again.

But Xiang Ta didn't take it seriously and said: "The chief general of the Qin army, Zhang Han, is not an ordinary general. It is reasonable to use the same strategy a second time. I'm afraid they really retreated this time."

Fan Zeng also said: "Looking at the posture of the Qin army's retreat, it seems to be very organized. They did not retreat suddenly. If they want to lure us out of the city to chase after them, they will definitely pretend to be in a state of confusion. Only in this way can our army despise us. And now that the Qin army's camp has been completed, it only needs to trap us for a month, and our army will be chaotic without fighting. Even if they can't do this, we will go out of the city to attack At that time, they will still have strong strongholds as their backing, so their chances of winning will be even greater."

Xiang Yu nodded and said: "What Mr. Fan said is that the retreat of the Qin army this time is indeed a bit strange. I am afraid they are really going back to Xianyang. Let me lead an army out of the city to find out. If it is a trap, return to the city. If not, you can kill this invading Qin army."

"The general is the backbone of our army. You must not go to the dangerous place yourself. Let the last general lead the troops to attack." Long Qi said eagerly.

"That's right, as the general of our army, how can he leave the city easily? The general should stay in the city and lead the army to battle after we find out the situation." Everyone said one after another.

Seeing that everyone agreed not to let him go out of the city, Xiang Yu knew that his status was different now, so he could only sigh and said: "Since everyone thinks so, then I will not go out of the city. Long Qie and Ying Bu will replace me." Let's go out of the city and fight." The two accepted the military order with a busy smile, and then led 5 people to open the city gate and rush out.

Unexpectedly, before the Qin army could be chased, he was shot in a hurry by the Qin army's crossbowmen ambushing on both sides of the road.Because they didn't know how many ambush soldiers were still nearby, the two had no choice but to lead their troops back to Surabaya City to plead guilty to Xiang Yu.

"So it seems that the Qin army really used the trick of luring the snake out of the hole to lure our army out of the city?" Xiang Yu said after hearing the situation.

After walking a few steps back and forth, Fan Zeng said decisively: "I think the Qin army is really going to withdraw this time. General, hurry up and get out of the city to chase the enemy. I think I can win a big victory."

Xiang Yu was amazed and asked further questions, but Fan Zeng kept urging: "General, hurry up and arrange troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the Qin army if it's too late. It would be a pity if such a great opportunity is missed." Xiang Yu had to go first Keeping the doubts in his heart, he personally led more than [-] horses in the city to chase in the direction where the Qin army was going.

It was not until noon on the second day that Xiang Yu returned to Surabaya City with the Chu soldiers with high morale.As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to Fan Zeng's residence. That question had already made him unable to kill the enemy with peace of mind on the battlefield.Seeing Xiang Yu's return, Fan Zeng asked with a smile, "Did Yu'er defeat the Qin army and return in triumph?"

Xiang Yu said: "That's true. This time our army caught up with the Qin army, and they only resisted for a while before retreating in defeat. I don't know how you expected that the Qin army would retreat with all their heart in fighting."

"Because they have already set up an ambush in front of the city, this makes me guess that their purpose is to prevent our army from catching up. In this case, they must have really retreated. And once the whole army retreats , the sergeant must have no fighting spirit, and the general will definitely gain a lot if he chases him." Fan Zeng explained with a smile.

Xiang Yu suddenly said: "So that's how it is. Mr. Xiang Yu is really invincible in the art of war!" As he spoke, he bowed to him.

Fan Zeng quickly helped him up and said, "You must be polite, general. In fact, it is extremely rare for you to not be greedy for merit after defeating the Qin army. You must know that our army is still far behind the Qin army in terms of combat power. If the force is too great, once the Qin army becomes desperate, our army will inevitably suffer great damage. This is the reason why the poor should not chase after them."

Xiang Yu couldn't help but blushed when he heard this. The reason why he didn't chase after him this time was that the Qin army finally sent nearly ten thousand daredevils to hold back his army. After killing all these people, he wanted to chase Qin. The army is no longer able.He had to answer vaguely a few times, and then asked: "Sir, what should we do next?"

"Now that Yu'er has mastered all the soldiers and horses in Chu, he just took the opportunity to go to Kuaiji and regain the power that belonged to General Xiang Liang." Fan Zeng said.

Xiang Yu nodded in agreement, but there was still a discrepancy between what he thought in his heart and what Fan Zeng said. After the grievances of the past few years, and the joy of being the master of the party these days, Xiang Yu no longer wants to be controlled by others. Neither Dou nor King Chu can stop his ambition to fight for hegemony.So this time he planned to take the king of Chu to the knife.

A group of more than 20 people suddenly rushed from outside Kuaiji County. They were all dressed in the costumes of the Chu army, and their bodies were stained with blood. It seemed that they had just gone through a big battle.When one person came to the city gate and took out his token from his pocket, the soldier guarding the city gate didn't dare to stop them and let them go in.They went straight to Liu Bang's house without stopping, and jumped off their horses when they reached the gate.The gatekeeper immediately stepped forward to interrogate, but was staggered by the leader. The man was about to step forward to argue in anger, but was grabbed by the collar by the people behind him and asked, "General Xiahou, General Cao and Is General Zhou in there?"

That man was considered to be a powerful man, but he was lifted off the ground by the visitor, and then he realized that the other party was not easy to provoke, so he hurriedly said: "Among the three generals, General Cao is inside, and the other two generals are going out." hunting."

Those people hurriedly put him aside and walked into the gate, just in time to see Cao Shen coming out after hearing the sound. They hurriedly bowed down and cried: "General Cao is not good, Pei Gong was killed by Xiang Yu!" Hearing the shock, he looked carefully that these people were all the people who joined him in the uprising with Liu Bang, and hurriedly helped them up and said, "Speak carefully, what happened." So those people took these He told all the things that happened in the past, and then said: "Now that Xiang Yu has all the horses in my Dachu, we risked our lives to rush back to Kuaiji and report to the generals."

Cao Shen hesitated slightly and said to them: "You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first, I will find a way." After those people went down, Cao Shen immediately set off to Qu Dou's mansion, and at the same time ordered people to go to the suburbs Find Xia Houying and Zhou Bo and ask them to meet him at Qudou Mansion as soon as they return to the city.

When Qu Dou heard what Cao Shen said, he broke out in sweat: "What should we do? Xiang Yu already hated us, but this time he won't take the opportunity to take our lives to avenge his previous revenge." ?"
