Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 238
Han Xin led an army and appeared at the north gate of Shanwu. Zhou Yafu and Huo Qubing led hundreds of generals to open the city gate to meet them. King Lou Fan and all the officials of Lou Fan hurriedly followed: "See the general."

"Being able to win Shanwu, you two and Nie Qiutong are the first to contribute."Han Xin praised the two of them.

When Zhou Yafu and Huo Qubing heard the words "shougong", smiles appeared on their faces and they quickly humbly said, "This is all thanks to the Lord Hongfu."

"Where is Lou Fan Wang?"Han Xin didn't answer, but shouted behind Zhou Yafu and Huo Qubing.

King Lou Fan hurried out and saluted Han Xin respectfully: "I have seen the great general."

"If you take the initiative to beg for a surrender, you will be able to decide temporarily. First hand over the government affairs to our country, and then the royal family of Loufan must move to Seoul. I don't know what King Loufan wants."Han Xin asked King Lou Fan.

Given the current situation, how dare he complain, and immediately saluted Han Xin again: "I am willing to obey the arrangement of the general."

Han Xin nodded, but when he was about to speak, he heard a long howl.

A golden eagle descended from the sky, Chen Ping waved his hand, and the golden eagle flew in front of him.

Seeing the golden eagle coming, Han Xin and others dismounted one after another and walked over.

A silk book was untied by Chen Ping, and then slowly opened.Han Xin and others rushed over to watch without waiting for Chen Ping to speak.

King Lou Fan and a group of Lou Fan officials looked at each other, but judging from the expressions of Han Xin and others, it must be a big event.

After reading the contents of the silk book, everyone showed serious expressions.Fan Kui looked at Zhang Liang with admiration: "The military master really had a clever plan, and he transferred 30 Lou Fan troops to the border of Lou Fan and Dai County in advance."

"Lord Lou Fan Xinding asked for help, I don't know what you think."Han Xin looked around at the generals and Zhang Liang and Chen Ping.

Everyone was silent for a while, everyone wanted to go to rescue him, but Lou Fan couldn't live without someone guarding him.So all of a sudden, there was a look of embarrassment.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and several soldiers ran quickly to this place, and saw Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others bowed and saluted.

"Eastern Hu has already stopped troops with Yan State, and there are signs of increasing troops to the west."

"Linhu and Yiqu ceased fighting, and the main force of Linhu has returned to the clan."

"The prime minister asked the general to immediately return to the army of [-] troops and stationed on the eastern front line to prevent Donghu from making a surprise attack."

Listening to the news, Han Xin looked around at everyone: "What do you guys think about these things?".

"The lord must be rescued. The central grassland is where we stand and we cannot afford to lose. Donghu experienced a defeat in the central grassland, and the main force in the west was lost. Now that peace has been negotiated with Yan at this time, it is only natural to increase troops on the western front. However, if it is said that Donghu still has the strength to launch a surprise attack on the grassland in the middle of our country, I am afraid it is not enough. Besides, the reserve army is 14 ready to go, so we can ignore it for the time being. It is just Lou Fan’s new decision, and the withdrawal of the main force of Linhu, I am afraid our army You can't go south with all your strength."Chen Ping analyzed the current situation facing Seoul to the crowd.

Zhang Liang nodded while listening, and added to Chen Ping's words: "As long as troops are stationed in Loufan, one can stabilize the hearts of the people in Loufan, and the other can prevent the Linhu and Donghu tribes from acting rashly."

"I just don't know how many troops our army should station here?"Zhou Bo asked Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang thought for a while, and looked around the crowd: "At least 30 soldiers and horses are needed."

"Our army currently has 35 Han troops, 30 servants, and 30 Lou Fan surrendered troops. How should we arrange for [-] left behind?"Wei Qing asked everyone.

Chen Ping raised his brows slightly, feeling that this matter was a bit tricky: "The time for Lou Fan to surrender is still short, this part of the troops must not stay in Lou Fan. In order not to cause chaos and make our army's previous achievements go to waste."

Everyone nodded one after another. If Lou Fan's 30 surrendered troops stay behind, I'm afraid that Lou Fan's country will be revived again after leaving the front foot.

Seeing everyone nodding, Chen Ping continued to say, "If you want to let these descended troops go to battle with confidence, you must not only firmly control Loufan. When you go south, you need to send a large number of Han troops to suppress them in the rear, so as to ensure the smooth flow of military orders. Therefore, the remaining soldiers can only be servants and a small number of Han soldiers. It may be inconvenient for the remaining soldiers to be handed over to ordinary generals, so you must leave two commanders to ensure that our army has no worries in the rear."

"Two people".Everyone looked at each other and gradually fell into deep thought.

Han Xin saw that they were all reluctant, and immediately said: "It's better to stay here...".

"No, it's impossible to reorganize 30 soldiers on the way, and it's difficult for a general to be competent. Besides, the situation of the lord in Zhao is unknown, and there is a general in Seoul who can feel at ease."Zhang Liang stopped Han Xin without thinking.

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Han Xin could only keep silent.After all, what he said was the truth, so he stopped insisting.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Liang said to them: "Lou Fan is new, Zhang Liang is willing to stay and handle Lou Fan's government affairs, and wait for the prime minister to send officials to take over."

"I, Zhou Bo, would like to stay with the military adviser to guard Loufan and ensure that the army has no worries in the rear."Seeing that Zhang Liang volunteered to stay, Zhou Bo hardened his heart and proposed to everyone.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, there should be no worries with the two of them here.

Han Xin looked at the two gratefully, and then looked around everyone: "Since there are already people staying behind, how many Han soldiers and servants should stay behind?"

"The servant army is 27, and the Han army is [-] enough."Zhang Liang thought for a while, and proposed to Han Xin.

Han Xin nodded slightly, and immediately ordered: "Zhou Bo is the main general, and Zhang Liang is the military adviser. Command the Han army of 27, and the servant army of [-] will guard Loufan, and return to the central grassland at any time."

"promise".Zhou Bo and Zhang Liang bowed to accept the order.

After Han Xin finished speaking, he looked at King Lou Fan and all the officials not far away: "During the general's absence, you will assist the military adviser Zhang Liang in handling government affairs. I don't know if you have any objections."

"Follow the orders of the general".King Lou Fan and all the officials of Lou Fan saw that the discussion with Han Xin and others was over, and immediately bowed down to accept their orders.

Han Xin looked around at Wei Qing, Fan Kui, Huo Qubing, Zhou Yafu and others: "This general ordered 15 Han troops and 30 servants, totaling [-] soldiers and horses. He joined Lou Fan's [-] soldiers and appointed Chen Ping as the military advisor of the army. Wait for the deputy general. Immediately raise troops and go south to Daijun to rescue the lord."

"promise".Everyone was shocked, and immediately bowed to accept the order.

Han Xin looked at Zhang Liang and Zhou Bo: "Let's leave Lou Fan and the central grassland to the two of you."

"You can rest assured, the general. If you see your lord in Zhao country, you must not forget to greet him with the king's gift. From now on, we will be Han, not Seoul."Zhang Liang exhorted Han Xin, although it was not a single word.But this matter is related to status, and it is even more related to diplomatic matters with Yanzhao and other countries, so how can they be negligent.

Han Xin assured Zhang Liang: "The military division can rest assured."

"When I come back this time, the lord will definitely be the veritable King of Han."Chen Ping also assured Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang nodded slowly, without speaking.

Seeing this, Han Xin led the people to their respective horses, then got on the horse and slapped the horse's back heavily, and led the army to gallop towards Daijun.
