Qiang Qin

After Fusu read the news sent from Chu, he couldn't help frowning: "This time the people of Chu really thought they could swallow my entire Central Plains in one gulp, and they actually divided their troops into three groups to send out all the troops in the country. And I just ordered Han Xin to go to Hanoi County, but the Handan and Yingchuan counties don't have many troops or skilled generals to guard them, what should I do?"

In fact, Zhang Liang and the others already knew the news the day before, and they only thought of a safe way after discussing it all night, so Zhang Liang came out and said, "Your Majesty, don't be intimidated by the Chu people's great momentum. Their three-pronged attack left us with no defense, but in fact they also divided their strength. The high walls of Handan City are thick enough to block the successive attacks of tens of thousands of horses. It was not a difficult task last time. As for Yingchuan, we can order the soldiers to abandon the city and retreat after resisting for a while, and let the Chu army in this way first. Once they go deep alone, our chance will come. And Hanoi County has General Han guards, even though he is facing Xiang Yu, if he only defends and does not attack, it is possible to defend for a month."

Chen Ping also interjected: "The emperor's most urgent task now is to quickly recruit those soldiers who are still in the north, and let them go to several places to fight against the enemy."

Fu Su nodded and said: "The two lovers are more calm. I will order those soldiers who rushed to the northern border to come back. This time, the plan to attract the Chu army to attack has been successful. It will be up to us next." Can you give the Chu people a fatal blow in the Central Plains?" After a pause, he continued, "Order Zhang Han to rush to Handan City to help the guards there resist the attack of the Chu people. Handan City was captured within a few days, and the terrain there should be well known, with his help, no matter how powerful the Chu soldiers are, they would not be able to capture Handan immediately."

Zhang Liang and Zhang Liang went out immediately, only then did Fu Su pick up the cup on the table in front of him, and took a sip of tea.After calming down, he began to worry about Han Xin in Hanoi again. Although he had no doubts about Han Xin's ability to lead the army, and knew that Han Xin was still Xiang Yu's nemesis in history, the situation at that time was completely different from now. At that time, the number of the Han army was several times larger than that of the Chu army, and it was a sudden attack that caused Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Gaixia, but now the Chu army has a large number. But I'm going to feel guilty. "The most important thing now is to let those soldiers in the north come back quickly. If I had known that these Chu troops were moving so fast and they were divided into three groups, I would not have transferred most of them to the north. It’s hard to use troops.” Fusu thought with some annoyance in his heart, but he forgot that if he didn’t do this, the people of Chu wouldn’t have sent troops at all.But what made Fusu gratified was that none of the generals in the DPRK went north with the soldiers. Those who took these troops to the north were the lieutenants and generals, because Fusu didn't really want these troops to go to the grassland. A decisive battle with the Huns, and these generals are enough to rectify the troops to go back and forth between the two places.

Just when Fusu was thinking about it, a familiar voice came over: "Your Majesty, the most powerful and elite Tiger Ben in Daqin should be less than two hundred miles away from Xianyang at this time, please make an order quickly to send They called them back." Fu Su saw that Meng Tian came back at some time, and said from below.

Fusu asked strangely: "What's going on? Why is the tiger ben still near my Xianyang?" In addition to surprise, there was more joy in his tone.

Meng Tian said softly: "This is what I did in private. After they left Xianyang, I ordered them not to rush to the north, but let them hide hundreds of miles away from Xianyang. I think that Chu State No matter how powerful the spies are, it is impossible to grasp the whereabouts of every army in Daqin, so I left this army near Xianyang, thinking that it would really play a role."

Fu Su said happily: "General Meng is indeed a famous general of our Great Qin Dynasty. Why didn't I think of transferring the troops out of Xianyang and hiding them on the spot? You quickly order them to go to Hanoi County, as long as Xiang Yu's troops are rejected. Outside of Hanoi County, the threat of the three Chu armies will be much lower."

Meng Tian immediately led the order to leave the palace, and soon dozens of horses rode out of Xianyang City and headed north.

Three days later, Fusu received the military newspaper from Hanoi County. He quickly opened it and read it. When he saw that Han Xin said that he had ventured out of the city to attack Xiang Yu's camp at night, but finally returned to the city, he had to tell Han Xin His ingenuity engenders admiration.If he leads an army there, facing an enemy several times larger than himself, and the opponent's general is Xiang Yu, who has already become famous, he may only think about how to stand firm and wait for help, instead of showing the enemy his weakness first. , and then suddenly attacked.Through this battle, Fusu's confidence in Han Xin has been strengthened. As long as he is in Hanoi County, Xiang Yu should be unable to break through there.Now that he was no longer worried about Hanoi County, Fusu put his mind on the other two places.Yingchuan County had fewer troops than Handan and Hanoi counties, so a few days ago they decided to use the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep, and they can put it aside for the time being. Handan is different, although they have already ordered Zhang Han Xingye to rush Go to the rescue, but Fusu still can't let go.It's just that Fusu is now the emperor, and the son of a daughter can't sit down, so he knows that no matter what he says, all the courtiers will not agree to rush to those places in person, so he has to give up this tempting idea and order Peng Hong sent a letter to Handan City, asking them to report the situation of offense and defense every day.In this way, Fusu felt relieved a little.

At this time, the Chu army outside Yingchuan City was storming the city. Several Chu soldiers rushed forward with siege equipment such as ladders and shouted.Yingchuan City is not a military center, so there are not many Qin troops in this city, and they did not expect that the Chu people would attack here as soon as they came.And this city is not like Handan, which has been baptized by hundreds of years of war. The city walls are high and thick, so the only thing that can be used in the face of the Chu people's attack is the crossbow that has a longer range than the Chu people's bows and arrows.Fortunately, there is this sharp weapon for defending the city, so the Chu army did not capture the city in the past few days.But as time went by, the remaining arrows in the city were no longer enough. The Qin army guarding the city was full of sorrow and mist, knowing that when the arrows in the city ran out, the Chu army's ladder would come to the city. People like myself are about to die under the sword of the Chu people.Thinking of this, the Qin army guarding the city wanted to abandon the city immediately, but because the punishment in Qin Shi was very severe, those who fought but retreated would be punished, let alone abandon the city, so Under such pressure, the Qin army had no choice but to stay in the city, waiting for the Chu army to rush into the city and fight them desperately.

Liu Liu, as the guard in the city, was also anxious at this time. Looking at the Chu army who were constantly being repelled and rushed up, he was really exhausted. He hadn't had a good sleep or a good meal for three days. up.But his relatives are all in Xianyang City, and he has no other choice but to defend it. If he abandons the city or opens the city, his family members may be killed according to the laws of the Qin State.So for the sake of his love, he could only lead his soldiers to guard the city until the city was broken and died in battle.

Just when he was full of anxiety and helplessness, a carrier pigeon flew into the city.Seeing this carrier pigeon, Liu Liu felt even more desperate. He took it for granted that what the carrier pigeon brought must be an order for them to stick to it.

But when he heard the order from Chang Shi to let them evacuate the city at an unfavorable time, he completely stayed there. "The emperor didn't let us fight to the end, he actually prepared a retreat route for us." Liu Liu murmured, then suddenly knelt on the ground, choked up and said: "My minister Liu Liu, thank you for your kindness!"

When he stood up again, the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart had been swept away, and his eyes became firm.Since he doesn't have to fight to the death even if the city is broken, what is there to be afraid of?With a retreat, he has calmed down, and he immediately summoned some generals to tell everyone the news, and then said to them: "Although the emperor has allowed us to withdraw from the city to release the Chu army if the opportunity is not good, Come in, but we can't just give up defending the city, even if we want to abandon the city, the people of Chu will have to pay a huge price."

Those generals seemed to have the same idea as him, but when they heard the news that they could retreat, their fighting spirit was unknowingly aroused, and they all said they would stay on guard for a few more days.So everyone went to call those soldiers, and asked them to carry all the wood and stones in the city that could be used to defend the city to the city. Once the crossbow bolts were used up, they would smash them down with wood and stones to prevent the Chu people from entering the city.And those soldiers also knew the news, and they were grateful, so they worked harder to defend the city.

It has been several days that Long Qi led the army in Yingchuan County. He thought that with his tens of thousands of troops, he would be able to take down the city within a day or two, but the crossbow arrows on the city made him suffer a lot. .Before his soldiers rushed to the place within an arrow from the city, the random arrows from the city had already rushed towards them, and many soldiers of the Chu army died there in a daze.So later he changed his strategy and continued to consume the enemy's arrows with the soldiers' feint attacks, which greatly reduced the casualties of the soldiers, but the progress of the siege was also very slow, and it is still not possible to put the ladder up the city. .

But just yesterday, he had discovered that the rain of arrows on the city was not as dense as the previous days, and he knew that Qin Jun's arrows were finally going to run out.So early this morning, he ordered the whole army to prepare and prepare, and decided to take down Yingchuan in the first battle.
