Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 32
The camp of the Chu army in Xin'an was quiet.

Since ancient times, the climate of Longxi has been dry. At this moment, strong winds blow up and heavy rain falls suddenly.In just a short moment, he suddenly stopped swallowing and breathing, and there was no sound.

The camp of the Chu army was so hot and calm that it was frightening!

The waning moon is hooked, the blue sky is like washing, and the vast galaxy stretches out to the boundless universe. The Chu army knights outside the big tent are patrolling back and forth, and the military lights are shining like stars in the sky.

What Fan Zeng said made everyone in the Chu army camp speechless.It was like a boulder was pressing on my heart, making it hard to breathe.

……

"General, the general is a little tired, so he won't participate in the discussion, please resign!"

Zhang Han's words broke the solemnity in the big tent, and made all eyes focus on him.

"General Zhang has worked hard all the way, this general is right!"

……

After leaving the main tent of the Chu army, Zhang Han returned to the main tent. He was disturbed and wandered heavily in the big tent, watching anxiously in the direction of the commander-in-chief from time to time.

Unable to describe the feeling, Zhang Han only felt throbbing in his heart, inexplicably felt an unprecedented panic, the hair on his whole body was almost standing on end.

Fan Zeng's words made Zhang Han feel annoyed. After His Majesty the Emperor woke up, he led an army of 20 prisoners to surrender and rebel.

Suddenly, Zhang Han had a strong murderous intent towards Sima Xin. If Sima Xin hadn't committed suicide without authorization, everything would have a chance to turn around.

With murderous intentions in his heart, Zhang Han became more rational. He knew that as the commander-in-chief of an army of 20 prisoners, he could not lose his composure for no reason.

Although Zhang Han kept admonishing himself and even stopped in his tracks, the annoyance and murderous intent in his heart did not weaken in the slightest.

There was even a trace of unwillingness and regret in my heart!

As an important minister of the Great Qin Empire, the commander of the 20 prisoner army, and the last pillar of the Great Qin, his surrender was the biggest blow to Guanzhong and Hu Hai.

At this moment, Zhang Han wished he could return to Xianyang immediately with his wings planted, but as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he couldn't help himself.

Without an army of 20 prisoners, even if he returned to Xianyang, it would be useless.I can only watch Xiang Yu break through Hangu Pass and go straight to Xianyang.

He is the commander-in-chief of an army of 20 prisoners, and he must be responsible for 20 lives.

……

After Zhang Han left, there were no outsiders in the Chu army's tent, and the atmosphere in the entire Chu army's tent was much more relaxed.

There was no sound, no one spoke, and everyone's eyes were on Xiang Yu.Among this large army, only Xiang Yu can be as good as his arms.

At this time, Xiang Yu is the backbone of everyone!

"Yafu, Hu Hai is violently attacking. The people in Guanzhong have heard about the brutality of our army for a long time, and they are strong in resistance. Now that Hangu Pass is far away, I wonder if Yafu has a countermeasure?"

Fan Zeng's expression changed for the first time, and he didn't answer Xiang Yu's words immediately.

"Major General, our army is here with the general trend, and with 60 troops in hand, even if the tyrant is resurrected, he is unstoppable, let alone Hu Hai who is just awakened!"

"As long as our army continues to advance and point the sword at Hangu Pass, we can forcefully enter the pass!"

……

"General, what Mr. Fan said is very true, our army is destined to return, and Ying Qin is just dying and struggling to return to the light!"

Wu She pondered for a moment: "It's just that now Hu Hai has come to realize that our army's 20 prisoner army will be the vanguard of our westward march. I'm afraid it won't be a long-term plan!"

"Once Hu Hai shows up at Hangu Pass and this Qin army rebels, I'm afraid our army will never be able to break through Hangu Pass and go straight to Xianyang in this lifetime!"

……

One word to punish one's heart!

……

This is the strength of a strategist. Although Wu She does not have the force to dominate the world, nor does he have the ability to command thousands of troops, but his three-inch tongue makes the whole tent quiet.

Sima Xin, who had not yet left, was terrified when he heard the news, and hurriedly turned to Xiang Yu: "General, the 20 prisoners surrendered to the general, so naturally they will not change their minds again. Please rest assured, the general."

Xiang Yu sighed: "Xiang Yu understands General Sima's heart, and Wu She's words are based on his worries, which is his duty. This general knows the general's heart, so the general does not need to panic."

……

"Yafu, what do you think of Wu Sheyan's question about Zhang Han in today's tent?"

Fan Zeng shook his head and said, "Major General, you have experienced hardships, and you have your own insights into human relationships and the general trend of the world. As a superior, you must learn to make your own decisions."

"Only in this way can the power not be left aside!"

……

Although Fan Zeng is old, his eyesight is not weak. Anyone in the world can see clearly. Whether it is Xiang Yu or the generals of the Chu army, they don't want to see the 20 prisoners.

The hatred between the two armies is deep, and the grievances are not shallow, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

Neither Xiang Yu nor himself thought about letting Zhang Han continue to command the prisoner army. After all, with Zhang Han's ability, sooner or later he would be a serious problem.

For this, there is only one solution, and that is to kill!

"Father!"

Xiang Yu said: "Hangu Pass is far away, Xianyang has not been broken, and the violent Qin has not been destroyed. At the moment, destroying Qin is the most important thing to do."

"As for the others, when Tyranny is destroyed, we have plenty of time to make corrections!"

……

In the big tent, six oil lamps flickered faintly, and Fan Zeng walked back and forth.He knew that if he didn't speak, Xiang Yu might not let it go.

"Let's put it this way!" Fan Zeng said, "Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Great Qin Dynasty, defeated Zhao Kuo in the battle of Changping. At that time, his situation was no different from that of a major general."

……

"boom!"

Xiang Yu's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help looking at Fan Zeng in shock. He was worried about Zhang Han because he had experienced Zhang Han's difficulties in Julu.

In the battle with Wang Li, he knew the bravery and wildness of the soldiers of the Qin army, and he had great fear in his heart about the 20 prisoner army.

After all, Zhang Han surrendered, and he still had an army of 20 prisoners in his hands. No one except Zhang Han could command the entire camp.

This means that it is easy for Zhang Han to defect.

But Xiang Yu never thought of killing prisoners, never.He came in one fell swoop, killed people, and countless people fell because of him on the battlefield.

He also ordered the massacre of the city, and more than once, but Xiang Yu never killed prisoners, because he had a kind of regret for Zhang Han.

But at this moment, Wu She's words in the camp, Yafu Fan Zeng's words just now kept ringing in his ears, making him struggle between killing and not killing.

……

"The reputation of killing prisoners is too bad, I am afraid no one will dare to surrender to our army again!"

After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yu uttered what was in his heart. At this time, he was just an arrogance and invincible commander, not the future overlord of Western Chu.

All of Xiang Yu's actions are dictated by his military character, and this is the biggest reason why he resists killing prisoners.
