Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-11-20

Handan City can be said to be the most turbulent city in the past few years. During the Zhao people's uprising, they took it back from the hands of the Qin people, and it has never found peace since then.It was besieged by Zhang Han and his army for several months. If Hu Hai hadn't summoned Zhang Han back, the Handan city would have been destroyed, and then the Chu people would have had trouble because of the Zhao people's intervention in the battle between Qi and Chu. In order to destroy the heart of Zhao, Zhang Han's army raided Handan with a plan, and finally brought it under the rule of Qin again.Unexpectedly, the matter was not over yet, and now Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Ta brought tens of thousands of horses to the city of Handan, and the city of Handan was once again caught in the flames of war.Now there are only [-] Qin garrison troops and tens of thousands of people in the city. Today's Handan City has long lost the sight of the capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is the tall and thick city wall.At this time, Wang Li, the general of the Qin State guarding this place, was standing on the high city wall and looking down.Ever since he joined Fusu along with Zhang Han, Fusu entrusted him with the important task of guarding the city. That's why Fusu ordered Zhang Han to come here because he knew that Wang Li's most trusted person was still his own. The old boss Zhang Han.At this moment, Wang Li didn't know that Zhang Han was on his way to Handan, he only knew that in order to be worthy of Fusu's trust, he must not let Handan City be lost in his hands.Although there are less than 5000 soldiers in the city, and with the available strong men, the defensive force of the whole city is only [-], but looking at the city wall which is only a few feet lower than Xianyang City, he still has the confidence to block the Chu people. offensive.

Looking at the Chu army below the city that did not launch an attack, Wang Li felt a little uneasy in his heart.A few days ago, the Chu people frantically launched an attack on Handan City. Fortunately, the soldiers here worked together to beat them back with various defensive equipment.But since yesterday, the Chu people stopped attacking. This unreasonable thing made Wang Li suspicious. "If it is said that they want to surround my Handan City and offer it to them automatically, but Chen Bing is only under a wall, what is their plan?" Wang Li frowned, thinking hard, but he did not come to any conclusion.If the enemy is attacking the city with open swords and spears, Wang Lida is not afraid, but now this makes him more and more uneasy.After inspecting the top of the city and finding nothing, Wang Li had no choice but to walk down the city with deep anxiety.

In the camp of Chu outside the city, Xiang Zhuang looked at Xiang Ta very puzzled and asked: "His brother, what is the purpose of me ordering only Chen Bing to stay here and not to attack again? It has been half a month now, But there is still no chaos in Handan City."

Xiang He smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhuang. Since our army attacked Handan City, I have been watching the defense methods of the Qin soldiers who defended the city, and found that the defender is indeed very good at defending the city. He should be a general in all battles. However, he has deployed troops everywhere in the city, and there are even archers ambushing in some corners. It can be seen that this person is very cautious and does not allow himself to be negligent. This point Although it is good, but at the same time there is a disadvantage, that is, this person must be very suspicious. However, most of the people in the city are from the original Zhao Kingdom. If there is no Goulian, then the defender and the Qin army in the city will be in chaos, and we will have a greater chance of breaking the city.

Xiang Zhuang nodded at first, but after thinking for a while, he asked again: "Now that we are both inside and outside the city, how can we let the people in the city know about this suspicious strategy?"

Xiang He smiled and said: "This is one of the reasons why I told you not to attack Handan by force. When the general sees that we will neither attack nor siege, he will be very suspicious. And I will use it again To make him completely believe that the Zhao people in Handan City have our internal support, then the guard will search the city wantonly, and once the resentment of the people in the city is aroused, the city will collapse from the inside. Attack the enemy Those who want to focus on attacking the heart."

When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement, and said with admiration: "It's still his brother who has the ability to be a general. If it's different, I can only rely on the soldiers to attack Handan City desperately."

Xiang He smiled: "This Handan City is not easily captured by our tens of thousands of horses. Zhang Han's [-] Qin troops surrounded him for more than a month and did not take it down. It was taken down. Therefore, to take Handan, some extraordinary means must be used."

Wang Li in the city was as expected, and he couldn't let go of that doubt in his heart.If the Chu army did not attack, he felt that the other party must have some conspiracy.He simply called one of his trusted military advisers and told him his doubts.

The military adviser has been following him for quite a while, and he is very cautious and suspicious. When he heard his doubts, the military adviser thought for a while and said, "General Wang, I'm afraid something is not good. Do you still remember that Xianyang City is How was it broken?"

Wang Li nodded and said: "Of course I remember this. It was after the emperor got in touch with Nei Ying in the city that he opened the city gate so that they could enter the city smoothly..." Wang Li slammed Shivering, he looked at the military adviser and asked in surprise: "Mr. Yi means that there are also internal support from the Chu people in this city?"

The military adviser nodded and said: "I'm [-]% sure that there are internal support from the Chu people in the city. First, we have only taken down Handan for less than a year, and the people in the city are all people who used to follow the Zhao people to rebel. , there are many people who dissatisfy my Great Qin. They are very likely to have colluded with the Chu people inside and outside. They are waiting for the people in the city to open the city gate for them."

Wang Li walked back and forth a few steps in surprise, then suddenly made up his mind and said, "I can't let the tricks of the Chu people succeed. This will make the defenders in the city step up their vigilance, so as not to cause trouble." Then he left in a hurry go out.

In the third watch, the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky, emitting a dim light, and a black shadow came to the city by the moonlight.I saw him leaning against the foot of the wall and suddenly sucked his mouth and blew.Qin Jun, who was guarding the night on the city, looked down curiously, but couldn't see anything.When they retreated, another whistle sounded from below the city.This made the night watchman suspicious, so he picked up the crossbow that he carried with him, waited there holding his breath, and shot the man with an arrow just waiting for the sound coming from below.Sure enough, the third whistle sounded, and without further ado, he raised his hand and shot an arrow at the place where the sound came from.There was a scream from below the city, and the soldier shook his head in puzzlement, not knowing what the man was here for.But he still reported this matter to a general who stayed in the city that night. That general had already received Wang Li's orders, and he was also thinking about how to find the spy. Naturally connecting these two matters, he rushed to report to Wang Li.

As soon as Wang Li heard about this, he became more certain of his own judgment, so he summoned all the generals overnight and ordered them to search for the suspected civilians in the city the next day. He would rather arrest them first than Give Chu people the slightest chance.

Early the next morning, the city of Handan was in chaos. Those suspected, those who had contacts with the Chu people, and those who were former officials of Zhao Ye were arrested by the Qin army and imprisoned.In fact, Wang Li also knew that most of these people were innocent, but in order to defend Handan City, he had no choice but to do so.

Just when Wang Li thought everything was all right, one of the lieutenants he sent to arrest the suspected Zhao Ren suddenly ran over and said with a distressed face: "General, there is a man named Zhao Ba in this city that day. An official of Zhao State, when we wanted to arrest him, he led his family and beat him out, and now the brothers have fought with them."

"Zhao Ba?" Wang Li felt that the name was familiar, and suddenly remembered that when he and Zhang Han made a surprise attack on Handan, this man led the people to stop him. Seeing how brave he was, Zhang Han didn't take his life. Unexpectedly, he came out to make trouble again at this time.So Wang Li said angrily: "Let's go, let's go and have a look. If he really dares to become an enemy of our army, he will be killed on the spot." He said and walked out first, and the deputy general hurriedly followed him. behind.

When they came near Zhao Ba's residence, they heard the sound of ice blades clashing continuously. When Wang Li heard that the two sides had indeed fought, Wang Li was even more furious, and he was even more sure that Zhao Ba must be The traitor in Handan City jumped the wall in a hurry when his identity was revealed at this time.When I got there, I saw dozens of people surrounded by hundreds of Qin soldiers in Gaixin, but they were not afraid at all, and they continued to attack the Qin army.The group of people gathered together a man who was nine feet long, holding a spear that was nearly eight feet long and thicker than a child's arm.Wang Li recognized him as Zhao Ba, so he yelled loudly: "Zhao Ba, you are so brave to fight with my Da Qin soldiers."

When Zhao Ba saw Wang Li approaching, he hurriedly ordered his men to stop attacking, he cupped his hands and said: "General Wang, I don't know what I have committed, you have to order the soldiers to arrest me."

Wang Li sneered and said, "Nowadays there are spies from the Chu people in the city, and all suspects will be temporarily detained by this general. You are also among them, Zhao Ba. Could it be that this general can't arrest you first?"

Zhao Ba raised his head and said: "I'm afraid the general still remembers the fact that he was your enemy that day? If I fell into your hands, it would be impossible for me to come out alive. So even if I die in battle, I will not die." I will hang my hands and wait to die." As he spoke, he waved the spear in his hand.

"Since that's the case, blame me!" Wang Li waved his hand, "But if there is resistance, kill it on the spot!"
