Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 192 Wu Guang's Death ([-])

"Is the general optimistic about Song Yi?" Wang Shi asked with some doubts.

Wang Shi, as an old man who came out of Pei County with Wang Ling, naturally knew that Wang Ling had a lot of contacts with Wu Jun and Xiang Yu, the general of Shangzhu Kingdom who was rewarded by Zhang Chu and Chen Sheng.He even got very close to Cao Wushang and Yong Chi who had secretly joined Xiang Yu. Although they didn't show any intention of joining Xiang Yu, their attitude was very ambiguous!

"No! I just want Song Yi to fight the dog of the Qin army here, so as to buy time for us to evacuate to Hengshan County." Wang Ling looked at the warriors in this clan and explained with a smile.

"Is the general going to defect to Lord Wu?" Wang Shi had heard a lot about Xiang Yu and the powerful force under his command, and now he heard Wang Ling say so and asked happily.

Wang Ling didn't answer Wang Shi's tone, but got up and looked to the west.After a long time, his voice came out slowly: "The situation of the world is not yet clear, but in general, among the princes in the world, only Xiang Yu is the master. The rest are just mediocre. If I don't go to Xiang Yu, I don't know who to go to." Is good!"

"With the talent of a general, Xiang Yu will definitely use you again!" Wang Shi said cautiously, not wanting Wang Ling to feel too sentimental.

………………

Wang Ling left with [-] soldiers, leaving Li Ye an empty county.

When Li Ye arrived with his army, he saw that the county town was empty and did not fight anywhere.First, he ordered the army to settle in the city to rest, and then waited for the grain and grass from the counties to be transported here, and then used this place as the base camp for the southward expedition.

Li Ye's ambition is not small, he is not satisfied with taking back Nanyang.In his plan, he first recaptured Nanyang County, and then led his troops south to conquer Nanjun, Hengshan County, Changsha County and other places to try to open a road to the north for the Southern Army.

But Li Ye didn't know that Zhao Tuo, who was stationed in Nanhai County and other places in the south, didn't want to go north, because the people he admired the most and the people he should be loyal to all died at the hands of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.The heartbroken Zhao Tuo was even more afraid that he would be killed by Zhao Gao after going north, and most of the generals in the army were descendants of the Meng family, so he was naturally unwilling to go north to help Hu Hai and others suppress the rebellion.

Song Yi and Li Ye fought in Yin Township in the southeast of Juxian County. In the end, Song Yi's entire army was wiped out, leaving only his son Song Xiang, younger brother Song Yan, counselor Zuo Shu and dozens of soldiers.

After destroying Song Yi, who had the largest number of troops in Nanyang County, Li Ye took three counties and returned to the north to attack Wan County.After taking down the entire Nanyang County, Zhang Han sent people to recruit 3 troops to go north to prevent Li Ye from leading troops south and annoy Xiang Yu.There were less than [-] troops left in Li Ye's hands, and his plan came to nothing in an instant.

On the northern city wall of Wan County, Li Ye looked at the army gradually moving away and sighed, "I underestimated Zhang Han!"

"General, can't we recruit soldiers and horses in Nanyang County and then go south?" Li Cang looked at his elder brother and asked in a very puzzled way.

"Do you think that Zhang Han will give us too much equipment? As long as he firmly grasps the supply of equipment, our army can only maintain a scale of 3 people at most. There are only 3 people. How do you tell me to fight with us?" That Xiang Yu fight? How to protect these land boundaries after capturing counties and counties?" Li Ye gave Li Cang a blank look, and although he was impatient, he also explained.

Depressed, Li Ye got down from the city wall, and after explaining the task of patrolling and training soldiers, he went back to the Sheriff's Mansion to sleep.

………………

In Yiyang County, Zhao Ben, the commander of Sanchuan County, led the troops to block the westward advance of the rebel army under Wuguan.

At the south gate, Zhao Ben's army is waiting for the arrival of Zhang Han's army.He thought that after the arrival of the army, he could take revenge on Wu Guang and take back other counties!

"General! Leave Li Ye with more than 2 troops, can he hold Nanyang County?" Su Jiao asked Zhang Han with his hands folded when Zhang Ling came to hand over the order.

"As long as he doesn't attack other places, it's enough to just defend Nanyang County!" Zhang Han didn't have any other explanations, but responded to Su Jiao with a casual sentence.

Su Jiao, who didn't get the real answer, was also very smart, so he stopped talking and continued to move forward with the army.

Zhang Han successfully took over the troops under Zhao Ben's command, and relied on Yu Wei, who defeated Zhou Wen, to recover several counties without bloodshed.Then quickly regained Henan County and Luoyang County, re-establishing its dominance over Sanchuan County.

In Xingyang County, Wu Guang, who was urging the construction of a fake king's palace, was not wary of Zhang Han at all.He felt that Zhang Han was able to defeat Zhou Wen because of the weather and Zhou Wen's lack of preparation. If he attacked himself, he would not be able to break through several counties and send troops to Xingyang.

But things backfired. Zhang Han not only regained several counties with Yu Wei, but also regained several important counties at an extremely fast speed, which dealt a major blow to Wu Guang.

As a partial general under the false king, Tian Zang felt obliged to persuade Wu Guang to lead his troops to stop him.No matter how bad it is, we must lead our troops back to the south as soon as possible, and withdraw into Chen Jun and Zhang Chu's army to gather.However, Wu Guang was a farmer after all, and Tian Zang's persuasion failed.He was even falsely accused by the treacherous villains around Wu Guang, and Tian Zang was given a big meal by Wu Guang for his innocence.

Since Wu Guang was named a false king, he has become more and more unscrupulous and perverse, which has caused many generals in the army to complain about him.After Tian Zang was beaten, someone came to contact him to kill Wu Guang and seize military power.Very angry, Tian Zang agreed.

One day, Tian Zang led several generals into the big tent on the grounds of reporting military information.Wu Guang in the big tent saw many generals under his command coming together, he was about to ask why he came when Tian Zang chopped off his head with a sword.

After Tian Zang and others beheaded Wu Guang, they told Chen Sheng that Wu Guang committed suicide because he was afraid of the Qin army.Chen Sheng had arranged for someone to be in Wu Guang's army, so he naturally knew the real cause of Wu Guang's death.

However, Zhang Han's pressure forced him to appoint Tian Zang as the general to lead the troops under Wu Guang's command. After Tian Zang was named the general, he promised the envoy sent by Chen Sheng that Zhang Han would be defeated.

With an army of 20, Tian Zang led the troops westward.

...............

Liu Ji, who has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, is ready to move under the suggestion of the newly promoted Cao Wushang.

Soon at a routine meeting, Liu Ji decided to personally lead five thousand troops to attack Liu County.

Although Shen Shiqi and Wang Ci dissuaded him, Liu Ji insisted on going his own way in order to show his prestige as Pei Gong.

First, Yongchi was transferred to Fengxiang to guard against the Wei people who were about to move eastward.After that, Pei County was left to Shen Shiqi and others to guard, and Liu Ji led Cao Wushang, Zhou Ke, Lu Wan and others to attack Liu County with [-] troops.

The soldiers were sent to stay in the county, and it took little effort to take down the county with few defenders.When Liu Ji was full of ambition, he didn't know that a conspiracy against him was about to strike.
