Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 193 Sending troops to the Central Plains ([-])

Cheng Gao, Qin Jun and Zhang Chu Jun were stationed here.

Facing the Qin army and Zhang Chu army, the people in the surrounding townships either fled or were captured by the two counties as strong men responsible for escorting food, grass, luggage and other things.

The cold wind is bleak, and what catches the eye is the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

Zhang Han took Su Jiao and Sima Xin to the city wall of Chenggao and looked at Zhang Chu's camp in the distance.

After a long time, Zhang Han pointed to the camp in the distance and sighed: "Since Zhou Wen died in the battle, there have been no generals in this Chu army! Look at the man who commanded the army. Although the camp is very dense, it is only around the camp. The central army. If we attack the camps on the left and right flanks, we will definitely be able to plunge them into chaos in an instant."

"It is said that this person was originally the number one general under Wu Guang's command, but he rose up and killed him because he was punished for persuading Wu Guang to withdraw his troops to the south. Now he has become Chen Sheng's general and led his troops westward to defend against our army. What a blessing. Fool!" After hearing this, Sima Xin shook his head and smiled, telling Zhang Han the news about the newcomer.

"Wouldn't it be better? If we let this group of troops go south to join forces with Chen Sheng, it will take a lot of trouble for our army to take down Zhang Chu. Defeating this chaotic army here will allow us to kill Chen Sheng as soon as possible." The head announces the good news to the emperor!" Zhang Han laughed loudly after hearing this, and then pointed to the camp in the distance and said with some joy.

"General Wang Li has brought Shejian, Yang Xiong and others to lead 20 troops southward, and the entire northern army has come except for the 8 people left behind in the three counties! How will the general arrange them?" Su Jiao accompanied Zhang Han smiled, then cupped his hands to report to Zhang Han and asked for instructions.

"Where are Wang Li and others?" Zhang Han turned to look at Su Jiao, and asked in a questioning tone.

"We have already entered Taiyuan County, and we will soon reach Lishi County!" Su Jiao replied cautiously, bowing his head and cupping his hands.

No wonder Su Jiao was careless. As the general Zhang Han who was temporarily in command of all the troops of the Great Qin Dynasty, he didn't know the destination and news of the general in his hand.This made Su Jiao very afraid that Zhang Han would get angry and make the generals discord, causing the army to fail in battle.

Seeing Su Jiao's performance, Zhang Han turned his head and looked at the snowy scenery in the distance, and ordered: "Ling Wangli lead the army to attack the military officials of the Zhao State who have invaded Shangdang and other places. If possible, send out an army. Attack Yan Guo Han Guang!"

"Here!" Seeing that Zhang Han didn't get angry, Su Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed his hands to accept the order.

At the same time, Tian Zang summoned his generals in the big tent to discuss whether to storm Chenggao Township, where more than 30 troops were stationed.

"Do you think our army can storm Chenggao and give the invading Qin army a blow?" Tian Zang asked the generals in the tent in a deliberative tone.

Tian Zang took the position of general by beheading Wu Guang, which made the generals who belonged to Wu Guang feel very disgraceful.He also knew it himself, so he didn't dare to talk too much to himself when he gave orders, and he would only implement them after discussing with the general in charge of the army.

The lieutenant general had some resistance to Tian Zang becoming the commander-in-chief of the army, but after Tian Zang put down his body, he discussed everything with everyone and came to a conclusion. of the command.However, Tian Zang didn't know that he would continue to discuss with the generals and decide major issues together as usual.

"General, the last general thought that if we fought with the Qin army in the open, our army would still be able to attack the city, but it would be impossible!" Lin Xiang, Tian Zang's assistant general, clasped his hands and said bluntly.

Lin Xiang was the successor of Lin Xiangru. Although he was born in the Lin family, he was a martial artist who liked to wield swords and guns since he was a child.His father broke his heart for him, and finally left him to fend for himself.After Chen Sheng's uprising, Lin Xiang also led a group of heroes from his hometown to join the army.

Tian Zang didn't speak, but looked at Lin Xiang suspiciously like other generals.

Seeing this, Lin Xiang explained: "I know that this Qin army is not an ordinary county guard, but a regular Qin army from Xianyang. This army has a strong bow and crossbow that the county guard does not have, and also has The equipment is excellent and the warriors are strong. If our army does not have more than twice the number of soldiers and horses to attack the city, it is bound to be unable to attack. Let the Qin army find a loophole and our army will eventually be defeated! Therefore, a certain person thought that he could fight the Qin army head-on but could not attack the city. To The siege has to wait until the Qin army is defeated before attacking!"

These words made Tian Zang and others fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Tian Zang agreed to suspend the siege and make an appointment to fight Zhang Han.

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

Wang Ling led thousands of people to join Xiang Yu, and was then transferred to Wu County by Cao Shen and Gongsun Yi who guarded Hengshan County to accept Xiang Yu's dispatch.

When he arrived in Wu County, Xiang Yu promoted Wang Ling to Xiao He's deputy and became a civil servant.This also made Wang Ling feel that Xiang Yu is a wise master who knows people well, and he is even more loyal to him.

General's Mansion.

In the hall, almost all the civil and military personnel in Wu County are present.

Xiang Yu sits at the head in the middle, with Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng on the left and right.The lower left is the sequence of generals, and currently Xiang Yu's general Ji Bu is sitting first, followed by Xiang Quan, Xiang Zhu, Pu Wu, Gong Ao and others; the lower right is the sequence of civil servants, with Xiao He as the leader and Xiang Le, Shusun Tong, Kong Yu, Wang Ling, Xiang Ji, etc.

Seeing all the martial arts under his hand, Xiang Yu was in a good mood.

After everyone had arrived, Xiang Yu said, "Now that the Qin army has sent troops to the east of the Guandong, what should our army do? Should we send troops to the Central Plains, or to the southeast? You can speak freely, and I will listen with all my ears!"

After Xiang Yu finished speaking, Li You among the generals came out and said: "The last general thought that he would send troops to the Central Plains, form an alliance with the heroes of the Central Plains, and then go west to attack Qin!"

After Li You was rescued from Xingyang by Xiang Yu, he was very angry when he learned that his parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters were all beheaded by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.After Xiang Yu had a long talk with him, he agreed to surrender to Xiang Yu to help him destroy Tyranny in order to avenge the annihilation of the clan.

Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng and others were very worried that Li You would attack Guanzhong desperately after leading the troops alone, so they suggested that Xiang Yu keep him by his side and listen.Xiang Yu also had this concern, so he agreed with Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang's idea, and appointed Li You as the captain and stayed in Wu County to lead and train the cavalry.

After Li You finished speaking, Chen Ying, one of the civil servants, got up and cupped his hands to retort: ​​"Our army has just formed, and various systems are still in decline. If we send troops, it will affect the stability of the counties. Besides, in what name are we going to join the princes?" ? My lord, I think you can just wait and see and not send troops!"

After Chen Ying finished speaking, Xiang Yu smiled and said to the crowd: "Just now what Li Duwei and Chen County Magistrate said are all true! But I think it is possible to send troops on a small scale, such as sending troops to Sishui County to take down several counties of him. To increase the depth of our army's territory. Or enter Langya County, Xue County and other places to seize some counties and counties to let the princes know our strength, and also make the Qin army Zhang Han have scruples and dare not enter the army lightly!"
