Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-12-01

Not long ago, when Fusu led troops to attack Xianyang and several other counties, he brought cavalry and the armor of the serial horses, but the result was that there was no use for cavalry all the way, let alone Let the serial horses line up and charge head-on with the enemy on the battlefield.Therefore, in the eyes of these generals, there is no difference between attacking Chu and Xianyang this time. Chu also needs to be captured city by city, and the cavalry can only dismount and fight with the infantry at this time.In this way, their war horses became useless, and even became a drag on the whole army, because the consumption of war horses was astonishing.

Now, what Fusu said meant that this time the attack on Chu was going to confront the Chu army on the plain, which made everyone confused.Seeing everyone's surprised expressions and the question of "what" full of doubts, Fusu just smiled lightly, and after a while, seeing that everyone had recovered from the shock, he said: "I dare to say that because there is a lot of information provided. The current situation in Chu land. One is that although Chu land appears to be united on the surface, in fact, many former Chu officials are very dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's actions. Many people who opposed him jumped out at the right time, which forced him to fight our army and regain the support of everyone after defeating us. The second is Xiang Yu's character, which he has always admired. It is attacking, and disregarding defense. Last time when Zhang Han’s men attacked Chu, their strength was several times that of his. He dared to attack. Now the difference in strength between our two sides is not too big. I will be willing to just stick to it and not fight." In addition to Fusu's judgment on some of Xiang Yu's previous behaviors, this point is also mixed with his understanding of the historical overlord of Western Chu. After such a defeat, he will feel Yan Jiangdong. How could the elders only defend but not attack?

The generals felt that although Fusu's two points were correct, it would be a bit too arbitrary to say that the battle must be outside the city because of one person.Seeing that everyone was not very convinced, Fusu went on to say: "These are just internal factors. In fact, there are other reasons that determine that the people of Chu will definitely come out of the city to fight me. Thirdly, the current state of Chu is not It looked like it was decades ago, and many of the cities were newly built, and their defense capabilities were not enough to stop our elite soldiers from the Great Qin. Therefore, the strength of the cities that the Chu people could rely on did not exist, and they had to come out and fight with me Besides, there are many rivers in Chu, and the southerners are good at boats. Seeing that we entered their territory, they will definitely use their own skills to deal with us. For these reasons, I predict that the Chu army will definitely go out of the city to fight with us. Our army fought a battle, and once most of their troops can be wiped out outside the city, the subsequent siege battle will be much easier."

Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Meng Tian have already agreed with Fusu's point of view since the first reason for Fusu. After all, they are also good at fighting, and they are also very good at grasping the situation. Only after Su finished talking about everything did he agree with Fu Su's point of view.

In this way, under the leadership of Fusu, all the Qin troops stationed in Hanoi County, practicing how to confront the enemy on flat ground and how to attack the city every day, but no one proposed to attack the Chu people immediately. .Although the soldiers still didn't understand this, their generals had issued a strict order not to speak casually about going to war, which made those Qin soldiers dare not say anything.

In Chu Guoji County, Xiang Yu was talking to Fan Zeng and others about the current movements of the Qin people.After he was defeated and returned to Chu, many Chu officials who originally supported Qu Dou and later surrendered to him jumped out. If he hadn't used his determination to make an example, more people would have jumped out.But Xiang Yu also knew that what he did would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among more people, and what he needed most now was a big victory, so that the people in Chudi would re-establish their trust in him.So shortly after he returned to Kuaiji, he sent many spies to Qin to find out the news.Unexpectedly, as soon as these spies set off, Qin's actions were so big that even the people of Chu knew that the emperor of Qin had personally conscripted Su Yujia, and the 20 troops had already arrived in Hanoi County, ready to attack Chu at any time.

When they saw the news, the first words of Fan Zeng and others were: "It turns out that all this is really a trap set up by the Qin people. First, they pretended to send troops to the north to lure our troops to attack, and then relied on the The terrain defeated us, and then we took advantage of the victory to pursue. Unexpectedly, the people of Qin have become so cunning now!"

Xiang Yu, on the other hand, wanted to fight the Qin army again and wash away his shame, so when he heard the news, he was very excited: "The reason we failed last time was because it was the land of Qin. Yes, but this time they came to our land of Chu, it’s not their decision. You don’t have to worry too much, didn’t Mr. Fan leave more than 3 people in Chenjun, Dongdong when he returned the army to Kuaiji? County and Dang County? Once the Qin people come to attack, they can stop the Qin people, and we can bring troops to rescue in time. In this way, we can deal with them like the Qin people."

Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Ta, Long Qi and others were also very reasonable after hearing what Xiang Yu said, and the worries in their hearts were greatly reduced.Only Fan Zeng was still frowning. He didn't believe that the Qin people would give him an opportunity just after winning, but now he couldn't see through the Qin people's plan, so he didn't say much.

Then what happened next greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone in Chu. The Qin army actually just stationed troops in Hanoi County, and no longer had any plans to attack the south.The information obtained from various spies is that the Qin army was only there to practice siege operations, and it did not look like a big war was about to start.

The bewildered Chu people could only wait anxiously, waiting for the Qin army to attack suddenly on a certain day, but a month later, the Qin army had no intention of attacking at all, which made them all wonder if it was the Qin army Just want to stay there?But the news that even the emperor has arrived in Hanoi County is true. They never believe that the Qin people drove 20 horses to Hanoi just to show off their power. They must be thinking about how to attack themselves.

Various speculations spread among the people of Chu. Some said that the people of Qin came here to pay homage to the souls of the soldiers who died in battle, and some said that the emperor of Qin came here to seek refuge because of the great plague in Xianyang... ...Anyway, after this month of waiting, many Chu people have begun to disbelieve that the Qin people will come to attack them, and even those Chu soldiers guarding Chen, Dang, and Dong counties have begun to be careless.

When everything in the Chu Kingdom was paralyzed, on September 1th, Fusu ordered Canghai Jun Tianba to take [-] troops to raid Dongjun.The Chu soldiers in the city did not expect that after nearly two months of silence, the Qin soldiers would attack suddenly. They were completely unprepared in their hearts, but after guarding for half a day, Dongjun fell into the hands of the Qin people.Then Lord Canghai left half of his troops in Dongjun according to Fusu's wishes, and he took the others to Dangjun, where Han Xin had already brought his troops to attack.

The guards in Dangjun were much better than those in Dongjun, but under the joint attack of Han Xin and Canghaijun, the tens of thousands of people in the city could not resist the enemy, and finally the Chu army had to withdraw from Dangjun.

Then the Qin army marched into Chen Jun with lightning speed and the fastest speed, and the result was another success, and Chen Jun also fell into the hands of Qin Jun.It took less than ten days for the three counties to fall into the hands of the Qin people.

When Xiang Yu heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears: "What? There were nearly 3 guards in the three counties, and they were all lost within ten days?" He reported loudly growled.

The man looked at the blood-red Xiang Yu with fear, and stammered: "Back to Overlord, Qin... The surprise attack of the Qin people is really... too sudden. How come...when the incident happened, the Qin army had already attacked...the city. Although the soldiers...the soldiers resisted desperately, they still...were still defeated by the Qin people, and finally...the city was finally occupied by the Qin people."

Xiang Yu was so angry that he was about to go up to give the man a blow, but Fan Zeng grabbed him and said to the man, "You go down first." The man escaped like a bereaved dog.After the man went out, Fan Zeng said: "It's no wonder the soldiers guarding the three counties. The Qin army has not moved at all during this period. Anyone will relax their vigilance. Isn't this the same for the old man?"

But Xiang Yu still said loudly: "Three cities were taken in ten days, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for Sun Wu to take my Chu land? This is really a shame for me, Xiang Yu."

Fan Zeng said: "Actually, from the very beginning, I wondered why the people of Qin came to our Chu land in the hot summer of July. It turned out that he was just trying to numb us, make us relax our vigilance, and then attack us suddenly, killing us by surprise. Overlord, now It's not the time to pursue any responsibility, let alone get angry. We should quickly make all preparations to fight the Qin army. If I expected correctly, after taking down the three counties, the Qin army will soon use this The three counties are the point, and the troops are divided into three groups to attack several other important places. Therefore, our top priority is to prepare the soldiers to fight to the death."

Xiang Yu also calmed down slowly, and nodded: "Okay, then I will go to order generals immediately, gather troops, and take the troops to fight the Qin army tomorrow. I don't believe that my elite soldiers from Great Chu can't Defeat Qin Jun." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Fan Zeng to say anything, and walked directly to the door, and now he only thought about fighting Qin Jun on the battlefield to vent his hatred.
