Qiang Qin

The enemy is currently.

However, there were disharmonious voices within the Chu army. Xiang Zhuang and Zhong Limei, the two generals belonging to different camps, had fierce conflicts due to different opinions on the implementation of the next military strategy.

Since the Qin army entered Jishui, there have been constant small-scale conflicts between Xiangzhuang and Li Yuan. The two armies have clashed thirteen times, and the Chu army has achieved ten victories and three losses. Xiang Zhuang personally led more than [-] Chinese troops from his headquarters to cross Jishui to the north, killing Han Xin's Chinese army and fleeing in embarrassment.

If it weren't for Zhongli Mo's Changshan Army being so unsatisfactory and failing to stop Han Xin in the first place, Xiang Zhuang even felt that he could wipe out Han Xin's Qin army's partial division.

To be proud is to be arrogant.

While Xiang Zhuang was proud, he didn't consider whether this was Han Xin's arrogant strategy.In his opinion, Han Xin, a mere general of the Qin Dynasty, is not a well-known opponent at all. Even if Han Xin had participated in the war against the Huns as the commander of the Qin army who aided Chu, Xiang Zhuang still believed that Han Xin was just lucky. , met Li Yuanji who admired him.

Has Han Xin fought any famous battles?Xiang Zhuang has no impression.

This is not because he is ignorant or ignorant of Qin’s situation, but that the real Han Xin has not made any impressive achievements. Qin can send out interlocutors to spy on Chu’s military situation. Correspondingly, of course Chu There is also a secret lying in Qin.

Since Han Xin returned to Qin Dynasty, the first battle was the battle of Shaohua Mountain in Wugong County. As a result, he was surrounded by the Han general Chong Da and others on Jue Ling. I'm afraid it will be gone early.The second battle was several battles against the enemy Liu Bang, but Han Xin didn't have many chances to shine, and then there were some sporadic battles in Zhaodi and Yandi. At this time, Qin's power was strong enough. Such miscellaneous vassals basically bully the weak with the strong and the small with the big.It's no big deal.

Due to the unpleasant past with Han Xin, Xiang Zhuang inevitably brought some subjective elements when examining Han Xin's record.But Zhong Limei has a deeper understanding because he is familiar with Han Xin and knows Han Xin's true ability.

In addition, if it was a war with other countries, Zhongli Mo would probably choose to forbear. After all, even if there is a slight deviation in the strategy for a war like sweeping up small forces.It can't affect the overall situation.But Qin is different. At the beginning of the decision to attack Wei and Qin, Xiang Yu called several trusted veterans to discuss in detail.

Veteran.

They all followed Xiang Yu in the southern and northern wars, all the way here, including Zhong Limei, Zhou Yin and others. Xiang Yu is actually not clear about the current predicament Chu is facing, but he is now .It has been tightly tied to the chain of Xiang's family interests.

Now, the internal affairs of Chu State are under the single-handed control of Prime Minister Xiang Tuo, before his father Fan Zengwei died of illness.Xiang Yu can also rely on Fan Zeng's ingenuity to fight against Xiang Tuo, and after Fan Zeng's death, Xiang Tuo has no opponent.

Two years ago, Kuai Che joined forces with his relatives, the Yu family.Trying to share power with the Xiang family, and finally representing the new forces from outside the family, Kuai Che, Shusun Tong, An Qisheng and others, were schemed by Xiang Tuo.An Qi, who was known as an old fairy, died in prison. After being imprisoned for nearly a year, Kuai Che escaped by taking the opportunity of being an envoy to Qin State. Shusun Tong was dismissed from office and finally ran to Yandi Live in seclusion.

Even Yu Ziqi, Yu Ji and other relatives who had a close relationship with Xiang Yu were completely disintegrated under the attack of Xiang Yu's beautiful women with ulterior motives. Until Xiang Yu's expedition this time, the cold relationship between Yu Ji and Xiang Yu There is no sign of easing up, either.

Power is emptied.

Trusted people betrayed one by one, and loved ones drifted away.

Xiang Yu's trust in the Xiang family has also declined time and time again, from being unreserved at the beginning to suspicion and distrust, which is even more deeply disappointing.Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu have the kindness of raising them.But Xiang Tuo and others didn't have such a deep relationship with Xiang Yu except for the blood relationship of the clan.

The battle with Qin was an attempt by Xiang Yu to regain the power of Chu State. He hoped that through military victory, he would also re-establish his invincible reputation, and once again let Chu people follow him with admiration. Only in this way, he Only by your side can a group of trustworthy people gather.

Unfortunately, it was too late for Xiang Yu to wake up.

The military adventure did not bring Xiang Yu a turning point. On the contrary, when facing Li Yuan, who was more sophisticated in planning and stronger in overall national strength, Xiang Yu not only suffered a disastrous defeat, but also lost his life.

The generals of the Chu army were at odds.

After persuading Xiang Zhuang several times to no avail, Zhong Limei stopped talking, the so-called difference of way does not conspire with each other, with Zhong Limei's qualifications, he naturally refused to hand over the Changshan Army that he had built by himself to Xiang Zhuang. Without the support of the army, his end would be the same as Ji Bu's.

Xiang Zhuang stared fiercely at Zhong Limo's back, and couldn't help but feel oppressed. Others don't know the grievance between him and Han Xin, but Zhong Limo knows it all.Back then, if Zhong Limo hadn't tried his best to speak for Han Xin, this rascal boy from a humble background might have been tamed by Xiang Zhuang long ago, and how could he have such a scene now.

Xiang Zhuang returned to the tent angrily, and a follow-up staff and counselor came up to please him, admonishing him: "Young General, Zhong Limo is so avoiding the battle, maybe he has already been in contact with Han Xin, we must be careful." Be careful, don't be tricked by them."

This counselor's surname is Zhong, and like Xiang Zhuang, he is from Wuzhong County in Jiangdong. The Zhong surname was inherited from Zhong Yong, the elder brother of Wen Wangchang in the Zhou Dynasty, and he can be regarded as a rare family.

Wuzhong is close to Taihu Lake, and most people here make a living from fishing. In addition, the weather has been good over the years. This literati surnamed Zhong is also from a good family. He has studied under several reclusive Confucian scholars, so he has some bragging skills. Of course, if Zhong Sheng is really capable, he must have little points, otherwise, he would not be reduced to working for Xiang Zhuang.

"You mean—!" Xiang Zhuang narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhong Sheng and asked.

"Major General, Zhong Limo has always ignored you because he is an old man in the Chu army. He and Ji Bu are the two nails in the Chu army. If you don't pull them out, it's really hard for you to take over the overlord's position." It's not easy." Zhong Sheng smiled slyly, and said teasingly.

"It's up to you to say, as long as you don't have a mental illness, you can see it. Let's talk about how to deal with Zhong Limei first. Don't you tell me that you killed him directly in his camp?" Xiang Zhuang sneered. One sound, said.

"Don't worry, Major General, my subordinates have a plan to catch Zhong Limo without a fight. Why don't we—!" Zhong Sheng followed up a few steps flatteringly, and whispered to Xiang Zhuang.

Han Xin's "contempt" made Xiang Zhuang unable to contain his anger anymore, and Zhong Limei questioned him.It made Xiang Zhuang lose his rationality.

The lesson of Hangu Guanzhong ambush and Luoyang's defeat once awakened Xiang Zhuang, but with the passage of time, as the struggle between the two factions within Chu State intensified, Xiang Zhuang's natural impetuosity resurfaced again.

Jishui North Bank.

Shuanghekou.

Near the river branch of two Jishui tributaries, there is a small market at the confluence of the junction, where the water network is densely covered with boats.The boats that come and go provide great transportation convenience. Most of these small bazaars arise spontaneously due to the convenience of transportation, and maybe at a certain period of time, they are gradually abandoned because of the diversion of the river.

No one would think of it.After Han Xin dispersed the team, he led more than [-] Qin troops to station here. The number of this Qin army was not large, only the size of a school lieutenant.Therefore, after secretly arriving at Shuanghekou, it didn't attract much attention.

The contact person responsible for approaching here.It was Peng Yue's lieutenant general, Luan Bu.

Judging from the appearance, this is a middle-aged man with a slightly rich face and looks very rich, no different from other traders who come and go.

In fact, although Luan Bu was secretly Peng Yue's right-hand man, his external identity was that of a merchant.

Luan Bu was also from Wei, and he and Peng Yue were playmates when they were teenagers. When Han Xin governed Yandi, Luan Bu, as Peng Yue's representative, also had a lot of contact with Han Xin.

Thieves.

The main source of income is to sell the robbed goods. This is because some goods are not of much practical use to the thieves. Impractical goods, once these things are stored for a long time, they may deteriorate and rust or have no value at all.

Therefore, Peng Yue and others must have a channel to sell their stolen goods. Originally, they could also get in touch with Jiang Yu of Sanchuan County and conduct some secret transactions. They are neighbors, and the production of goods between them is basically the same. In addition, Qin and Chu were in harmony some time ago, which made it almost impossible to sell things from Chu in Luoyang at a very good price.

However, Yandi is different. The goods from Chu State in the south will benefit several times or even ten times when they are traded to the north, especially once they are traded to the Huns.

Luan Bu is undoubtedly an expert in this aspect.

And Han Xin is an important general guarding Yanbei. Without his permission, Luan Bu would not be able to sell a piece of cloth to the Huns. There is a ban on war aids such as iron, but there are no restrictions on luxury goods such as tortoise shells in the ocean.

Inside a house near the river.

High security.

This is a stronghold of Peng Yue.

"General Han, this place is surrounded by dense reeds, and our people are patrolling from a distance. The people of Chu would never have thought that the general is right under their noses, hahaha——. In addition, in the Chu camp, there are us In the dark room, including Xiang Zhuang's relatives, there are also our people." Luan Bu smiled triumphantly.

Han Xin also changed into a brocade forging, like an ordinary businessman, he was holding a teacup, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Something was missing."

Peng Yue was able to stay in Daze for many years. Apart from Qin’s backing support, of course he also had his own means. Han Xin didn’t ask who the secret person was. He only needed to get the exact information of the Chu army from Luan Bu. That's it.

Luan Bu didn't hide anything either, and told the news one by one. The dispute between Xiang Zhuang and Zhong Limei was also secretly recorded and brought to Han Xin's desk. Now both Peng Yue and Han Xin belong to Qin State Generals, facing the same enemy, have nothing to guard against each other.

"Mr. Luan, go to Juyeze quickly and tell General Peng Yue to pretend to be the Chu army and intercept the Chu army's supplies, but don't stop too much each time—!" Han Xin pondered for a while before ordering.

"No! The general will leave now." Luan Bu replied with doubts on his face. He obviously didn't understand Han Xin's intention, but he didn't continue to ask.

After Luan Bu left, Han Xin continued to unfold a pile of bamboo slips on his desk, and looked at them carefully. These bamboo slips from various places in Qidi recorded the situation after the Qin Army's small troops dispersed to various counties and pavilions. Han Xinxin is delighted that the number of troops is rapidly expanding.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

The state of Qin and the six countries of the Kanto region are enemies of life and death.

However, among the six countries, there are differences.For example, countries such as Zhao, Chu, Yan, Han, and Wei all fought fiercely with the Qin army in the Unification War. Among them, Zhao Guo was buried alive by 50 people because of the Changping War. It makes every household wear onyx, and everyone cries.Domestic males over the age of 14 have suffered almost all casualties, almost destroying the country directly.

In contrast, Qi State is quite different. Because Qin State has always adopted a foreign policy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack, and Qi State’s domestic understanding of Qin State is not unified, it is difficult for Qin and Qi to meet each other. Not many, and sometimes even the two countries have a tacit understanding to jointly attack several countries that are living in the cracks.

Even in the final battle between Qin and Qi, because the monarch of Qi State decided to give up resistance and lead the people to surrender to Qin State, Qi land was not looted by much war.Therefore, the people of Qi did not hate the people of Qin as much as people of other countries. In the subsequent storm of anti-Qin, Qi was the only country among the princes who did not participate in the battle against Qin.

With these foundations, coupled with the previous series of infiltrations, Han Xin's purpose of dispersing the Qin army to various places in Qi became clear. He hoped that through this short-term "violent army" method, he could quickly form a large army. A large number of troops formed an overwhelming advantage over the Chu army.

General Han Xin, the more the better.

This is different from Li Yuan's usual strategy of elite soldiers. In Qin's country, Han Xin had to take into account the logistics supply problem after the army became larger, but in Qi, there was no need to worry about this problem. The army can completely replenish on the spot without spending anything.

After the news passed back from the bamboo slips, the strength of each department of the Qin Army has been greatly improved. Summarized, Han Xin's troops have expanded from a little over 1 when he entered Qi to nearly [-]. If there is a little more time, Han Xin believes that this number will double. (To be continued..)
