Competing

Chapter 488 Chapter [-] The Battle Begins

In Xingyang City, the attack of the Chu army has already been launched. Fortunately, we have made preparations before, and we can completely withstand the attack of the Chu army in a short time!

Raise Yan and Zhao in the north, attack Qi in the east, cut off the grain road of Chu in the south, and meet the king in Xingyang in the west!

Liu Bang muttered this sentence silently, this is Han Xin's strategic advice to him!
He has already handed over the affairs of the south to Liu Jia, not to mention that there is Yin Xu, the king of Yue, so he must take care of it carefully.

As for the other cores, the battle against the princes of Hebei is under way, and I don't know what's going on with Han Xin?Liu Bang is very concerned about this. After all, this time is related to the victory or defeat of the Chu-Han War, and it is related to the survival of the Han Kingdom!

So Han Xin found Zhang Liang and asked about Han Xin's situation!

"Mr. Zifang, is there any news from Hedong?" Liu Bang is very urgent about Hedong's every move.

Zhang Liang replied: "The minister is preparing to report this matter to the king. There is news from Han Xin!"

"How to say?" Liu Bang was very anxious when he heard the news from Han Xin, and wanted to know.

Zhang Liang replied: "Marshal Han sent a letter saying that Chen Yu has conquered Chang Shan, and Chang Shang Wang Zhang Er intends to flee to Hedong!"

Liu Bang nodded and said: "Zhang Er had some friendship with the widow in the past. Even though he once took refuge in Xiang Yu's side, if he has a relationship with him in the past, it is okay to take him in!"

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Marshal Han specially sent Guan Ying to meet Zhang Er. Now Zhang Er is already in Hedong County and serving in our Han army. Marshal Han said that Zhang Er brought a lot of useful news. The battle of the country is very useful, and now he is already preparing. He will launch an attack on the Zhao country, and he will send troops soon!"

Finally, it was time to send troops, and Liu Bang felt excited!
Zhang Liangdao: "However, Marshal Han also explained that Zhao Wangxie has now regained control of Dai and Changshan, and if the original Zhao country has all returned to his hands. And with the acquiescence of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, the current power It should not be underestimated. Zhao Guo now has at least 11 troops, which is almost three times that of the Han army. The difference between the two armies is huge, but Marshal Han is already thinking of a way, and he said that he will go all out to capture Zhao Guo!"

Liu Bang couldn't help but feel his heart tense, falling in love in such a situation is indeed somewhat disadvantageous to the Han army.With 4 people against 11, some of the 3 troops will be left to guard the east of the river, and only [-] people can fight.However, this matter is a very contradictory issue. The Xingyang area needs a lot of troops, and the key here is to resist Xiang Yu's attack.Another point is that there are too many troops left for Hedong. If Han Xin grows bigger one day, he will be a little out of control.

After all, Liu Bang is still a little worried, but the situation is really not good now, and he can't help feeling a little worried and worried.But after thinking about it, Han Xin had promised himself that [-] troops was enough for him.With Han Xin's military ability and resourcefulness, he thinks he has a way.Maybe this time he will have some tricks and tricks. For the matter of capturing Zhao Guo, Liu Bang still has more confidence in Han Xin.

Perhaps this is just a kind of self-consolation, but now I can only think of it this way. Although Liu Bang is in Xingyang, his thoughts have already drifted to the front line of Hedong.I hope Han Xin will not let himself down and bring himself a surprise!
At the same time, in the Zhao army camp in front of Jingxingkou, the celebration banquet was still going on. After some congratulations, Zhao Wangxie said: "That Zhang Er is really a heinous villain. It's no use for the widow to trust him like that back then. Thinking of him going to Xiang Yu's side in a blink of an eye, occupying the old place of the widow, and fighting against the widow, it is really abominable!"

In fact, it is hard to say what role Zhang Er played in this matter. Zhang Er did respect and devote himself to King Zhao back then.However, it is hard to say that Zhang Er is ungrateful. When Guanzhong was distributed, Zhang Er himself did not expect that he would be canonized as a vassal king.In the final analysis, it was just that Xiang Yu divided the power of the princes and provoked their monarchs and ministers to fight among themselves.

To become a vassal of a country, to crack the earth and confer kings and marquises is a common ambition of generals in this era.It would be impossible for Zhang Er to take the initiative to hand it back to Zhao Wangxie after he obtained the fiefdom of Changshan, and to continue to be a minister to Zhao Wangxie.Furthermore, even if Zhang Er really did this, can Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, agree?

So it seems inappropriate to accuse Zhang Er of being ungrateful because of this matter.Zhao Wangxie seems to have forgotten how he became Zhao Wang in the first place?If it wasn't for Zhang Er, he wouldn't be where he is today, so what should I say about this matter...

Many people have this feeling in their hearts, but since King Zhao has already said so, no one will mention words that make everyone unhappy.One after another spoke in agreement, Zhang Er had been said to be an ungrateful, unfaithful villain before he knew it.

Zhao Wangxie smiled and said nothing. In fact, the reason why he said this was because he reminded some people of it on the sidelines.When smiling without saying a word, he glanced at Chen Yu lightly, maybe he already understood!
Zhao Wangxie then asked again: "By the way, Mr. Cheng An, what about that traitor Zhang Er? Did you catch him?"

Chen Yu said in a deep voice: "My lord, I'm sorry, the last general was going to catch him and hand him over to the king. I didn't expect to encounter the general Guan Ying of the Han army during the pursuit and rescued Zhang Er!"

Zhao Wangxie was full of anger and said: "I didn't expect the Han army to intervene in my Zhao country's affairs so soon!"

"Zhang Er originally intended to go to Han, and he happened to meet the Han army on the way. I think Liu Bang and Zhang Er have been in contact for a long time, and they must want to plot against Zhao!" Chen Yuru said!
Zhao Wang Xie said: "In the past, Zhang Er and Liu Bang had a lot of friendship, but now Liu Bang is uneasy and kind to the princes and states in Hebei. It is reasonable for this matter!"

Having said that, Li Zuoche, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but frowned slightly. He couldn't help but have a different opinion on this matter.If Zhang Er wants to go to the Han army, it is completely reasonable. After all, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, abandoned him without hesitation. At this time, he can only go to the Han king Liu Bang for help and ask to take him in, so that he can save his life!

But to say that Liu Bang and Zhang Er had colluded for a long time, I'm afraid it is a bit far-fetched, after all, Zhang Er was also a force close to the Western Chu Kingdom.Furthermore, before Liu Bang suffered the defeat of Pengcheng, I am afraid that he did not have much energy to estimate Changshan Wang Zhanger.

As for the generals of the Han army who came to meet Zhang Er, Li Zuoche believed that this was the so-called Han Xin, the marshal of the Han army.According to the rumors, Marshal Han is very powerful. Mingxiu plank road secretly crossed Chencang, left Bashu, Dingguanzhong, King Yong Zhanghan was not his opponent.In the battle of Hedong, wooden barrels and driftwood crossed the river, and a surprise attack on Linjin Pass, and captured Hedong in one fell swoop.

As a descendant of a famous general, Li Zuoche is very talented and accomplished in military strategy.Therefore, he is very interested in Han Xin.Now that Han Xin has pacified the Western Wei State, his next goal must be Zhao State.

Although the Han army is now standing still, Li Zuoche knows that Han Xin is now actively preparing for the war, and he doesn't know when he will launch an attack against Zhao Guo.It's just that I don't know what tricks this magical marshal will use this time?Li Zuoche was looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive.

As for the matter of responding to Zhang Er this time, in his opinion, it should be Han Xin's preparation for the battle of Zhao Guo!After all, Zhang Er is still of great value, but Zhao Guojun and his ministers don't seem to pay much attention to it.He originally wanted to mention persuading King Zhao, but on today's occasion, Chen Yu's pacification of Changshan was a great achievement.

At today's celebration banquet, Chen Yu's words were spoken just now, and King Zhao treated him with such great importance and kindness.If you say it, it will definitely be a bit of a disappointment, and it will make the new Mr. Cheng An look bad.So when the words came to his lips, Li Zuoche swallowed them back again, let's wait until some time to persuade King Zhao alone!

Zhao Wangxie said: "It seems that Liu Bang's ambition is not small this time. Xiang Yu has already launched a fierce attack on the Xingyang area. Under such a critical situation, Han Xin still did not go back. Instead, he stayed in Hedong. It can be seen that his goal and ambition are in the Hebei area. .Liu Bang has a big appetite. It is not enough to eat a Western Wei king, but he also has ambitions for our Zhao country!"

The original Xiang Guoxia said: "Liu Bang is just daydreaming. It is not easy to occupy the land of Hebei. The Battle of Hedong was just a fluke. After all, the Western Wei Kingdom is weak. And there are many lucks in Linjinguan. The Han army occupied the Western Wei Dynasty The country is already a fluke, and now it is a fool's dream to want to attack our Zhao country!"

"Yes!" Chen Yu also laughed: "It is said that there are only [-] troops on Han Xin's side, and most of the troops were dispatched to the front line of Xingyang by Liu Bang. There is an attack from the army of the Western Chu State, the Overlord of Western Chu Xiang Yu has already gone to command in person, anyway, Liu Bang's top priority is to save his life.

With the current strength of Hedong, it is not bad to want to defend his own land in Hedong.If you want to attack our country of Zhao in vain, you are completely acting like a car with your arms, and you are overestimating your capabilities!Our Zhao army now has a strength of 11. If we really want to fight for a long time, the warriors from the land of Yanzhao will join the battle as soon as possible. How can his Han army be compared, so don't worry about this matter! "

Zhao Wangxie also laughed. He has 11 troops. This is what he is most assured of. Even if the Han army really attacks, there is no need to worry.

Li Zuo said: "Your Majesty, Han Xin often catches people by surprise, so it's better to be careful!"

"Really? Let's see if Han Xin has the guts?" Chen Yu said in an indescribable way.

At this moment, the news came that the Han army launched a massive attack on Jingxingkou, and many people in the big tent suddenly changed their expressions!
