Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 195 Sending Troops to the Central Plains ([-])

Brothers Lu Chen and Lu Yi, who only escaped with their own lives, fled back to Chen County with [-] remnants of soldiers. At this time, Chen Sheng was a little crazy.

Song Liu returned with the [-] troops he had just recruited, but he heard that Lu Chen was defeated and the [-] troops were destroyed.At first, Song Liu defected to Chen Sheng in order to get a high position so that he could enjoy the glory.But he never thought that the Chen Sheng uprising would be quickly suppressed in less than a year.

After defeating Lu Chen, Zhang Han quickly marched into Chen County, spreading news of surrender and not killing along the way.

In fact, Zhang Han did not receive any instructions.These are all fake news spread by Zhang Han in order to defeat Chen Sheng as soon as possible and obtain results.But people like Song Liu didn't know about it. They thought that the news spread by Zhang Han's order was true.

Song Liu stayed in Pingyu County with an army of [-], and began to contact Zhang Han who wanted to surrender to the Qin army with an army of [-].

…………

He was rejected several times to recall Song Liu, and Chen Sheng was filled with hatred.However, facing the coming Qin army, Chen Sheng had to concentrate on dealing with the Qin army.

In the main hall, Cai Ci, Lu Chen, Lu Yi, and Zhang He also remained silent.

Originally, all the civil and military officials under Chen Sheng's command fled one after another. Originally, Chen Sheng wanted to order these people to be chased and killed.But after Cai Ci said that it was not appropriate to divide the army at this time, the helpless Chen Sheng could only let those civil and military officials who did not sincerely serve him escape from Chen County.

Today's Chen Sheng has changed from his previous prestige, becoming a bit decadent and desolate.

"Heaven is going to kill me!" Chen Sheng shouted loudly when he remembered that hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers were about to send to Chen County, and when he remembered that he had nearly a million troops shortly after the uprising.

"Your Majesty must be sad! Our army still has tens of thousands of troops. As long as we can resist the Qin army, we will be able to overcome this difficulty when the reinforcements from other countries come to rescue us!" Cai Ci comforted after hearing this.

"Reinforcement from all over the world? Xiangguo, you take it for granted! I have offended too many people, not to mention Wei Jiu, Zhang Er and others. Just talk about Xiang Yu who is nearby. Doesn't he hate that I have taken the name of Chu State from him?" ? Reinforcement, reinforcement! If there is, how can the Qin army approach Chen County without any scruples?" Chen Sheng said annoyed and regretful, he already knew that no matter how many people were sent to ask for help, it would be useless.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Chen Sheng's appearance, Cai Ci cupped his hands unbearably.

"You are all heroes, leave quickly! Let me fight Zhang Han by myself, and buy time for you to escape from the Qin army!" Looking at Cai Ci's gray temples, Zhang He, Lu Chen, Lu Yi frowned.Chen Sheng said to the four people left behind.

"Your Majesty has invited you several times, how could you leave His Majesty? I am willing to lead troops to buy time for His Majesty to escape, please let Your Majesty let you lead your troops!" Cai Ci was moved when he heard this, and immediately begged for orders.

"Where can I escape? It's better to fight the Qin army to the death. Anyway, I will become the king. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!" Chen Sheng suddenly said proudly.

"Follow Your Majesty!" Zhang He, Lu Chen, and Lu Yi also clapped their hands together.

Thirty miles away from Chen County, Zhang Chujun's camp was stationed here.

Zhang Han saw the king's flag flying in the camp, and asked Dong Yi, "Who is the commander of this camp?"

"General! This battalion is led by Chen Sheng himself, with Cai Ci, Zhang He, Lu Chen, and Lu Yi as his deputies." Dong Yi replied immediately, clasping his hands.

"I underestimated Chen Sheng! I thought he would escape from here, but I didn't expect him to be such a hero!" Zhang Han shook his head and laughed.

Dong Yi, Sima Xin, Su Jiao and the others put away their contempt after hearing this, and after a long while Sima Xin cupped his hands and asked, "General! When will we attack the enemy camp?"

"Don't attack yet, send a troop to fight every day! Test and test!" Zhang Han ordered to Sima Xin.

"General! Why don't you take advantage of the high morale of the army and take down Zhang Chu's camp in one fell swoop?" Sima Xin asked puzzledly, cupping his hands.

"There are masters in Zhang Chu's army! Look at the layout of the camp, the strong bows and crossbows on the wall of the village. If our army attacks by force, we will lose a lot of troops. You must know that our army's target is not only Chen Sheng, It's the rebels in the entire Kanto!" Zhang Han explained with a smile, pointing to Zhang Chu's camp not far away.

If it was Sima Xin who had just left the customs, Zhang Han would not bother to explain to him.However, today's Sima Xin is not only the commander of the army, but also the supervisor of the army.Zhang Han had to treat this with caution, after all, the supervising army had the right to ask the emperor for instructions to change the chief general at any time!
When Sima Xin heard this, he smiled and said nothing.On the night when he was appointed as the supervisor of the army by imperial decree, Zhao Gao found him on the Black Ice Platform.First, he told Sima Xin that his family was living under the care of Heibingtai, and then tactfully asked Zhao Gao to monitor Zhang Han and report to him at any time.In order to keep his family safe, Sima Xin agreed.Similar to Sima Xin are Su Jiao, Li Ye, Dong Yi and others. These people were all arranged by Zhao Gao to restrain Zhang Han's power and monitor his behavior.

Zhang Chujun's camp is in Wang's tent.

Chen Sheng was furious when he received the news that Song Liu led troops to attack Chen County and cut off his rear and supply lines.

"Xiangguo, look! If we had sent troops to pursue Song Liu, our army would not be in such a situation today!" Chen Sheng called together the generals in the army, and pointed at Cai Ci in front of everyone.

When Chen Sheng criticized Cai Ci, Lu Yi felt a little uncomfortable with it.However, thinking that Xiangguo Cai Ci was still loyal to Chen Sheng, Lu Yi didn't dare to express all his complaints and could only hum in his heart.

"It's all the old man's fault! Now we can only fight the Qin army head-on. One battle will determine life and death!" Cai Ci first apologized to Chen Sheng, and then said with a dejected expression.

Originally, Cai Ci also regarded Song Liu as his last hope, thinking that he could go south to Song Liu after the defeat.Now that Song Liu attacked Chen County and disrupted the army's supply line, it was obvious that he had defected to the Qin army.This made the plan in Cai Ci's mind come to nothing, and made him feel helpless.

Wu County.

Since Cao Jiu arrived in Wu County, he directly told Xiang Yu what he wanted to do, and Xiang Yu asked Cao Jiu to go to the post to rest and wait for the news.

Then, Xiang Yu held a meeting.

Both Fan Zeng and Xiao He felt that they should not help Chen Sheng, because Chen Sheng did not use all his strength to destroy Qin after the uprising.Instead, he began to enjoy it after becoming a queen, ignoring the wars of the generals under his command and not caring about the life and death of the people under his command!

Xiang Liang followed Fan Zeng and others to persuade Xiang Yu not to send troops to help Chen Sheng with the idea of ​​consuming the strength of some other vassal states.

Cao Jiu invited Xiang Liang to go to Wu Chengjun's mansion after Xiang Yu finished discussing the matter, and the two old friends got drunk that night alone.While drunk, Xiang Liang inadvertently revealed the news that Xiang Yu would not send troops to help.
