Chapter 207 The Battle of the Giant Deer
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Ahhhhh! This is Bai Qi's battle to become famous, which means he is really ridiculously strong!
I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Yes! Moreover, there are not many people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Bai Qi since ancient times, and no one dares to say that he is better than Bai Qi!

Wuduyi: No! I, Lingling General Xing Daorong, dare!

The pig came to the bowl quickly: Hahahahaha, this person is indeed brave, but he really doesn’t have the strength!

My charming but short-lived ancestor: This is true, but this guy is not worthy to be compared with our God of Death!
His Majesty Han Xiaowu: Agree! However, we have never lacked Bai Qi in the ranking of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, which is enough to show his strength!
Who in the clouds sent a brocade book: Also, it would be great if his king was Brother Zheng.

Kirityu: Yes, many novels are written like this now, which is enough to meet the voice of the masses!

Pay attention, this woman’s name is Xiaomei: Yes, but unfortunately, novels can only be novels.
Su Yue looked at the comment area and said: "Okay, that means the reputation of the protagonist in the following battle is no worse than Bai Qi!
Since ancient times, many people have said that he is headstrong, but no one has ever said that he is not strong enough!

He is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and this battle is the Battle of Julu!
Let’s take a look at the specifics of this battle! "

burn one's boats
In December of the third year of Qin II (October 208 BC to September 207 BC), Xiang Yu led the Chu army to the Yellow River (some say it is Zhangshui) in the south of Julu County, and immediately dispatched Generals Yingbu and Pu He led 2 rebels across the river to rescue Julu.

After the second general crossed the river, they had a small victory in the initial battle. Zhao General Chen Yu urged the troops to advance again.

Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army to cross the Yellow River (some say it is the Zhang River). He ordered the entire army to burn down all the boats and houses, and took only three days of food with them to show his determination to die if he did not win. Julu defeated the Qin army of Zhang Han's tribe protecting the corridor, cut off Wang Li's grain route, and surrounded Wang Li's army.

Xiang Yu's determination and courage greatly inspired the soldiers.

The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's army, and everyone's morale was high. One was equal to ten, and the more they fought, the more brave they became.

After nine fierce battles, Zhang Han was finally defeated, Wang Li was captured alive, and Qin general Su Jiao was killed. Qin general Shejian set himself on fire. Some of the other Qin soldiers were killed, and some escaped. The Qin army besieged Julu. The army thus collapsed.

watch from the sidelines
At this time, the might of the Chu army overwhelmed the armies of the princes. The armies of the princes who rescued Julu had more than ten camps, but none of them dared to attack.

When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the generals of the princes' armies were watching the battle on the camp.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Chu army were all equal to ten, the shouts of killing were shocking, and the soldiers of the princes were all frightened.

After defeating the Qin army in this way, Xiang Yu summoned the generals of the princes' armies.

When these generals entered the camp gate, no one was kneeling and no one dared to look up.

From then on, Xiang Yu became the general of the princes' armies, and all the princes were under his command.

But in "Historical Records: Biography of Zhang Er and Chen Yu", there is another saying about the armies of the princes: "Xiang Yu's troops were outnumbered at Zhang Han Yong Road, and Wang Li's army was short of food. Xiang Yu led his troops across the river and defeated Zhang Han.

Zhang Han led his troops to relieve the enemy, but the princes' army dared to attack the Qin army in Julu and captured Wang Li. Shejian committed suicide. "According to the "Biography of Zhang Er Chen Yu", the princes' troops only watched from the sidelines when Xiang Yu fought with Zhang Han's Yongdao Guards. When Xiang Yu attacked Wang Li, the princes' troops participated in the siege, captured Wang Li, and forced She. Suicide during the period was the common result of the Chu army and the princes' army.

Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty, in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", synthesized the statements of "The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" and "The Biography of Zhang Er Chen Yu" in "Historical Records", and expressed it as follows: "Xiang Yu then led his troops across the river, but all the ships were sunk and the cauldrons were broken. They burned the huts and held three days of food to show that the soldiers would die, and none of them would return. Then they surrounded Wang Li and met the Qin army. After nine battles, they were defeated, but Zhang Han led his troops to attack Qin. The army then killed Su Jiao and captured Wang Li; Shejian refused to surrender and burned himself to death. "

Decisive battle between the two armies
Zhang Han's army was stationed in Jiyuan, and Xiang Yu's army was stationed in Zhanghenan. The two armies faced each other, but there was a stalemate without fighting.

Because the Qin army retreated repeatedly, Qin II sent someone to question Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was frightened and sent Chief Shi Simaxin back to the court to ask for instructions on official matters.

When Sima Xin arrived in Xianyang, he was detained by Simamen outside the palace for three days. Zhao Gao did not receive him, showing distrust.

Chief Shi Sima Xin was very frightened and rushed back to Jiyuan's army without daring to follow the original path. Zhao Gao sent people to chase him but failed to catch up.

Sima Xin returned to the army and reported to Zhang Han: "Zhao Gao monopolizes power in the court, and the people below cannot do anything. Now that the battle can be won, Zhao Gao must be jealous of our military exploits; if we cannot win, we will be even more jealous." I hope you will consider this situation seriously!"

At this time, Chen Yu also wrote a letter to Zhang Han, saying: "Bai Qi became the general of Qin. He conquered Yanying, the capital of Chu, in the southern expedition. He slaughtered the army of Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo in the northern expedition and captured the city. They captured countless lands, but in the end they were brutally killed.

Meng Tian was also a general of the Qin State. He drove away the Xiongnu from the north and opened up thousands of miles of land in Yuzhong. He was eventually killed in Yangzhou.

Why? It was because they had so many military exploits that it was impossible for the Qin court to reward everyone, so they found legal excuses to kill them.

Now, general, you have been a general of Qin for three years. The casualties and casualties of the soldiers are hundreds of thousands, and the number of princes from all over the country has increased.

Zhao Gao has always been flattering for a long time. Now the situation is critical. He is also afraid that Qin II will kill him, so he wants to find an excuse from the law to kill the general to shirk the blame and let others replace the general so as not to free himself. Disaster.

General, if you stay away for a long time, there will be many people in the court who have a problem with you. If you have meritorious service, you will be killed, and if you do not meritorious service, you will be killed.

Moreover, God wants to destroy Qin, and everyone understands it, whether they are wise or foolish.

General, you can't speak out and give advice at home, but you have become a general who is ruining your country outside. Isn't it sad that you are alone and trying to maintain it for a long time?
General, why don't you lead your troops to turn around, join forces with the princes, make a peace treaty to attack Qin together, divide the Qin land, and make each king his own, while the south side will be orphaned. Compared with being punished and having his wife and children killed, which one is better? "

Zhang Han was still hesitant and secretly sent his military commander Shicheng to Xiang Yu to make a peace treaty.

The peace treaty failed, so Xiang Yu ordered General Pu to lead his troops across Sanhujin day and night, stationed south of the Zhang River, fought with the Qin army, and defeated the Qin army again.

Xiang Yu led all his troops to attack the Qin army in Houshui, and defeated the Qin army.
