Qiang Qin

The two countries fought.

The great fortune of the countries concerned.

If there were no major deviations, a battle would last as little as two or three months, or as long as more than a year. For example, the Changping battle between Qin and Zhao lasted for two years and six months. If King Zhao hadn't listened to the slander and misused Zhao Tian as a general, we don't know how long this war will last.

From this perspective, if everything is normal, this decisive battle between Qin and Chu will last for a long time. The ambiguity and vacillation gave the Qin army a chance to win a quick victory.

Xiang Yu's misjudgment of the chasm war is an important factor.

The following series of misjudgments by Zhou Yin, Xiang Han, and even Chu Xiang Xiang Tuo were another reason, and the reason for these multiple mistakes was that there was a big problem in the appointment of talents in Chu State.

Only Mr. Xiang decides.

Anyone surnamed Xiang is a prince.

Under the suppression of the Xiang family, mediocre people such as Xiang Sheng, Xiang Xiang, and Xiang Han were promoted, while the backbone of the Chu state such as Ji Bu and Zhou Yin were gradually excluded and abandoned.

This is the biggest crisis of Chu State.

Talent.

It is the decisive factor that determines the rise and fall of power.

In the new round of competition after the vassals competed for supremacy, Qin was clearly ahead of Chu.

Undoubtedly, Overlord Xiang Yu's local tactical command ability can be called the best choice.Even Li Yuan couldn't fight against him head-on, because you never know when and in what state Xiang Yu will burst out with formidable fighting power again.

But the part and the whole are complementary. If the strength of the part is maximized, it can also affect the direction of the whole; but in comparison, if the overall layout can be considered comprehensively, then the gains and losses of the part will be in a wider range. Inside, it's nothing.

resourcefulness.

It is the best strategy to deal with bravery.

In this chasm war.The "Three Lis" and "Yan" in the Qin army are all figures who are good at ingenuity. Even Li Zhongxiang, who is weaker among them, is also unique in the direction of ingenuity, otherwise he would not have discovered the Chu army. After the abnormal behavior, he immediately decided to return to the army to rescue the Chinese army.

On the main battlefield of the chasm, Li Yuan and Xiang Yu fought face to face. At the same time, the area around Chen County and Jiujiang County in the south of Chu State was also changing, becoming another focus of contention between the two sides.

Sanli's plan before the war began to show results as the Qin army's partial division of Chen Xi's division moved eastward.

Chen Xi, the general of the Qin army who was ordered to send troops to Chen Jun, was ordered to part ways.He was born as a small local vassal. Under Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi also appeared in a semi-independent posture.After surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, Chen Xi played in the battle against Liu Bang and Yingbo, but most of them existed as an auxiliary, and Chen Xi himself did not have many bright spots to look for.

This time, Qin and Chu fought a decisive battle, and Chen Xi's troops were stationed in Deng County in Nanjun, responsible for guarding a large area left after Zhang Ping's army moved westward to Hanzhong.It can be regarded as being used as a local county army. Such an approach made Chen Xi feel depressed. At this moment, the order from the front line of the gap arrived.

There is no doubt about the employment.Suspects don't need it.

This is Li Yuan's usual principle. Chen Xi led his troops non-stop, and it took only three days and nights to cross the Funiu Mountains, which stretched for more than [-] miles, and then passed through Yingchuan County.Appeared in the area of ​​Chenjun. At this time, Qin Jun, who had already received Yan Le's order, also moved quickly secretly.He began to formally contact Chu General Ding Gong to lobby for returning to Qin.

The lobbyist responsible for the specific lobbying is also an old acquaintance of Ding Gong, Zhaoping from Qin.The former master of melon planting had been unable to get things going with Yingbo, especially after Lu Jia returned to Qin Dynasty, he felt that he was very shameless and inferior to Lu Jia in diplomatic matters.

After Yingbo's Eastern Chu was destroyed, Zhao Ping also had a premonition that there would be a war between Qin and Western Chu, so he resigned from his official position in Qin early and traveled around Chenjun and Jiujiang counties as a leisurely celebrity. During this period, Zhao Ping got acquainted with Ding Gong, and thus learned of the vacillating attitude of this general of the Chu army.

Hearing from Zhaoping that the five thousand troops of the Qin army had arrived, Ding Gong was shocked, and hurried back to Chen County to discuss countermeasures with Ji Bu. You must know that the total number of Chu soldiers in Chen County is less than 3000, and most of them are old and weak. Most of them are sick and disabled. When Xiang Yu decided to fight against Qin when he set out to conquer Wei, he never considered that Qin's army would dispatch troops from the distant Nanjun area with great speed.

Originally, if Chen Xi's marching speed was not so fast, Ding Gong and Ji Bu could still ask for help from other places, especially Wei Guo is close at hand, but now that the chasm war is at the critical point, even if they shouted to break the sky, Zhou Yin could not send a single soldier.

Zhou Yin couldn't sit still after receiving Ji Bu and Ding Gong's continuous urgent calls.

To the west of the chasm, the overlord Xiang Yu's army was being besieged by the Qin army, and he was urgently needed to increase his troops to rescue him, or at worst he would invest in reinforcements to relieve the pressure on the Chu army inside the encirclement.

The appearance of Qin troops in Chenjun made Zhou Yin very worried.There are two main roads leading from Daliang to Chu State. One is along the Dahe River to Pengcheng. This road is also the most flat recently. It was one of the fast roads supervised by the first emperor in the past. Unfortunately, thieves ran rampant on this road. , especially the Pengyue bandit from Juyeze, who was even more rampant after receiving the secret support of the Qin army. The Chu army's supply troops were repeatedly robbed and suffered heavy losses.

The second is Chenjun in the southeast. This road leading to the hinterland of Chu is currently an important supply line for the Chu army to survive. Once Chenjun is occupied by the Qin army, the rear of the Chu army may be taken by Qin If the army is completely cut off, even if Xiang Yu defeats the main force of the Qin army, there will be no way to go any further.

Of course, this is still an optimistic estimate. If the battle of the chasm goes unfavorable, even if the Chu army wants to retreat, there will be no place to escape. The Qin army will appear on the two back roads. No matter which one they take, they will face a fierce battle. Yin didn't think that Qin Jun would let them go with good intentions like Yan Dishi did.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yin was about to decide to send a support army to return to Chen County, but he didn't want to be pushed back by Lieutenant General Xiang Han as soon as he gave the order.

The Xiang family ruled Chu.

Even the Xiang family's children also became airy. Xiang Han is actually just a distant relative of Xiang Yu. When it comes to closeness, there is not much chance for Xiang Han and Xiang Yu to meet. Xiang Yu wants to be closer, but the situation is stronger than others. At present, the Xiang family is in power in Western Chu, not Zhou Yin.

Therefore, a guy with mediocre ability like Xiang Han, just because of the word Xiang in his name, can rise to the top, from a small county lieutenant in Kuaiji County, to a general in charge of transportation.

What made Zhou Yin feel even more broken was that Xiang Han was extremely arrogant and flamboyant, and he didn't take him as the general in his eyes at all. This time, it was more important to rescue Xiang Yu, and directly refuted Zhou Yin's opinion.Seeing Xiang's success, most of the middle and lower rank generals in the Chu army turned to Xiang Han one after another. This made Zhou Yin, the entire Chu army's rear army, the nominal general, but Xiang Han had the final say on the real idea.

It stands to reason that with Zhou Yin's ability, he would not be so easily controlled by a mere Xiang Han, but Xiang Han's words completely made Zhou Yin lose his temper.

"Zhou Da Sima, don't forget, your Zhou family has rebellious examples, how can my Xiang family do the behavior of letting the villain take pride again."

It was this sentence that made all Zhou Yin's ambitions disappear in smoke.

Zhou Yin, the general who followed Xiang Liang across the river and once ascended to the position of Grand Sima of the Chu State was the uncle of the Chu general Zhou Lan who failed to escape when he conquered Yan. When Xiang Yu attacked Qin, Zhou Yin He and Cao Jiu were in charge of the rear luggage, which can be said to have made great contributions to Xiang Chu. However, after the Zhou Lan incident, Zhou Yin was implicated and deprived of the position of chief minister.

Chu State today.

It is the world of the Xiang family. Zhou Yin was able to come out again this time, relying on Xiang Tuo's words. In other words, Zhou Yin bowed his head to Xiang Tuo to get this opportunity to perform.

After weighing the gains and losses, Zhou Yin finally gave up the reinforcement of Chen Jun, and agreed to Xiang Han's suggestion, and continued to increase the reinforcement of the Chu army on the west bank. As the main general who followed up to cross the river, he led the remaining [-] Chu army's supply troops to meet Xiang Yu.

The Chu army abandoned Chenjun.

It also means that he has chosen the method of fighting against the Qin army in the chasm.

Xiang Han's 1 people went into the battlefield, holding back the pace of the Qin cavalry who were going to attack Xiang Yu. Overjoyed, this one-sided massacre scene is the best opportunity to reap military merits.

in the enclosing circle.

The black horse gradually closed its eyes, and the last drop of blood had been shed from its body. This BMW, which has been fighting for several years, after spending the most prominent days of its life in glory, inevitably Ushered in aging.

Seeing the painful death of this old partner who had accompanied him on the battlefield for many years, Xiang Yu, who was hard-hearted and murderous on the battlefield, couldn't help but his tiger's eyes turned red, and he knelt down on one knee, feeling sad.

In this world, there is no general who is always victorious and invincible.

Unless, he disarms and returns to the field, no longer leads the army to fight, but spends the rest of his life only relying on remembering the glory of the past, and the black horse is dead, and its fighting career is over, but Xiang Yu's battle is not over yet.

On the battlefield, the shouts of the generals of the Chu Army and the Qin Army filled the ears. Familiar and unfamiliar shouts and screams, as well as the mournful groans of the soldiers when they were dying, stimulated Xiang Yu's numb nerves from time to time. , Let him wake up from the pain of losing his partner.

four sides.

All are the ambushes of the Qin people.

It is impossible to turn defeat into victory again.

After seeing the black soldiers of the Qin Army beside Li Yuan, Xiang Yu actually gave up. He could not go to Li Yuan and behead the enemy commander like he did in Hulao Pass. . (To be continued..)
