Competing

Chapter 493
"Marshal Han, how's the situation?" Looking at Han Xin with a smile on his lips, he didn't speak for a long time.Although it looked like a good thing, it was really uncomfortable not to know what happened. Zhang Er couldn't bear his temper and asked.

Han Xin smiled and said, "Good news!"

Hearing what Han Xin said, Zhang Er and Guan Ying no longer had any doubts, and immediately smiled knowingly, and the stone in their hearts could finally fall to the ground.

Han Xin said with a smile: "The news came from Jingxingkou, Zhao Guo's army came out of the camp one after another, and formed an array outside the mountain pass to fight us head-on!"

Both Zhang Er and Guan Ying's expressions froze slightly. Is this good news?Even if the two armies can fight quickly, the Han army's will is met.But there are 11 Zhao's army on the opposite side, three times that of the Han army. How can they easily defeat the enemy?Why did Marshal Han call this good news?Marshal Han is really optimistic. Both of them have faint doubts on their faces.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Han Xin guessed the general idea, and said with a smile, "Why isn't this considered good news? Could it be that General Zhao Guo Li Zuoche proposed to lead the army to encircle our army from behind by a detour, forming a flanking attack from east to west. Our army intercepted and strangled them in Jingxing, is this good news?"

"Ah?" Both Zhang Er and Guan Ying knew what the consequences would be, so they couldn't help being a little surprised.This is where they took the risk. What they fear most is that Zhao Jun will go around and cut off the food road and retreat.If this is the case, it can be said that the beast is still fighting, and the final result may be annihilation of the entire army, a crushing defeat!
"Don't worry!" Han Xin looked at the astonished eyes of the two generals under his command and said with a smile, "However, I don't know what kind of struggle for power and profit has occurred in Zhao State. After all, King Zhao didn't adopt this suggestion. More than that, At the same time, General Li Zuoche was left out in the cold!"

Guan Ying didn't fully understand the reason, but Zhang Er, who knew Zhao's internal situation like the palm of his hand, was the first to laugh!
"Congratulations to Marshal!" Zhang Er smiled and cupped his hands to congratulate Han Dao, but in fact he was also congratulating himself!
Han Xin smiled slightly and said, "It seems that what General Zhang Er said is right. This Li Zuoche is really extraordinary. He is the most feared enemy of Zhao State. It's a pity that Zhao Wang is so stupid that he abandoned you for nothing. Talent. Poor Li Zuoche, like his grandfather Li Mu, is full of talent but cannot be reused. Zhao Wang's defeat is really his own fault, no one else is to blame!"

Zhang Er smiled and said: "It must be that Zhao Wangxie and Chen Yu were afraid of Li Zuoche, so they had some small-minded thoughts, so they abandoned Li Zuoche's correct suggestion. It's really ridiculous. What Zhao Wangxie is most afraid of It is Li Zuoche who continues to make military achievements, and his status and influence in the Zhao army are increasing day by day, and his achievements are so high. In the final analysis, Zhao Wangxie is a mediocre person, and he may not be able to control these generals."

Guan Ying said with a smile: "In this way, the news sent today is really good news!" Hearing Zhang Er's words, he understood the key points and figured out the whole thing.

Zhang Er smiled and said: "Isn't it? I just don't know how Zhao Guo's final decision was made? Who is the leader of the army?"

When the two sides are facing each other, the choice of the general is naturally very important, and Han Xin's strength is naturally needless to say.Li Zuoche, the grandson of Li Mu, is probably the only one who can rival him in Zhao Kingdom, but Zhao Wangxie destroyed the Great Wall by himself and abandoned it.Now I don't know who will be the main general, will it be the old opponent Chen Yu?

Zhang Er couldn't help sneering in his heart, he really wanted to take this opportunity to kill Chen Yu and take revenge!His eyes fell on Han Xin, hoping that the young Marshal would give him this chance.

Han Xin laughed and said, "I'm afraid General Zhang Er will be disappointed, this battle is presided over by Zhao Wangxie himself!"

A little disappointment appeared on Zhang Er's face, and he immediately understood that according to the current situation in Zhao State, it is indeed impossible for King Zhao to give Chen Yu more opportunities to take charge of the military power.In Zhao Wangxie's view, this battle has a great chance of winning, so he naturally wants to grasp it well, so as to win the first battle, strengthen his prestige in the army and among the people of Zhao Guo, so as to control several ministers under him.

"There is nothing to be disappointed!" Zhang Er said with a smile: "Marshal Han has a clever plan in this battle, and the defeat of Zhao is just around the corner. !"

Knowing his wish, Han Xin said, "Don't worry, as soon as Zhao is captured, Chen Yu will be handed over to the general!"

Zhang Er nodded with a smile: "Thank you so much Marshal Han! But I don't know how the Marshal will defeat the enemy? I will cooperate with you!"

Han Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds in this battle. As long as we understand the situation of Zhao Jun's deployment, we can deal with it calmly. Order to set up camp at [-] miles from Jingxingkou, and the commander will issue an order. Military orders!"

Hearing Marshal Han's words, both Zhang Er and Guan Ying couldn't help but gear up, eager to try, and it was finally time to start.Especially Zhang Er, who was attacked and bullied by Chen Yu before, has long been full of resentment, and now he finally has the opportunity to take revenge, so naturally he will not let it go easily!

In a valley thirty miles away from Jingxingkou, the Han army camped here, and Han Xin, the general of the Han army, was holding a military meeting here.One is to arrange combat tasks, and the other is to mobilize before the war!
"Everyone, Zhao Jun has set up a formation at the mouth of Jingxing, thirty miles away, and is waiting for us. We have already taken the initiative to attack, and naturally there is no reason to retreat. Therefore, in this battle, we can only face up to the difficulties and fight bravely. They are fighting. After the battle is over, we can celebrate with dinner and wine in Zhao Wangxie's tent!"

Although Han Xin spoke impassionedly, except for senior generals such as Guan Ying and Zhang Er, the rest of the grassroots generals were hesitant about these.Judging from the expression on his face, he didn't seem very convinced.Han Xin saw it in his eyes and fully understood in his heart that according to the current situation, the disparity in military strength is a bit big after all. It is completely understandable that the soldiers have no confidence and even fear.

But if we continue to fight in this situation, there will be big problems. How can an army that has no courage and courage win.Therefore, for Han Xin, how to fully stimulate the courage and potential of these soldiers is the most important thing, and Han Xin already has an idea about this.

He remembered that he was still a small spearman in the Chu army back then, hoping to be appreciated by others.Later, I was fortunate enough to get the favor of General Shao/Xinghou Yinxu at the time, and took him to the north of the river to attack the Qin army's granary in Puyang.At that time, a lone army was chased by Dong Yi of the Qin Army, and Yin Xu raised the idea of ​​fighting to the death!
Mobilize all the troops to the edge of the big river, and the river is surging behind, and if you fall, you will die.There is no way out, and only by going all out to fight the pursuers can there be a way out.Therefore, the soldiers have no choice. In the desperate situation of life and death, people can often exert their greatest potential and their morale can be fully stimulated.An army that has no way out, regardless of life and death, is naturally invincible and fearless. I still remember that Yin Xu called such a situation as "putting to death and then reviving!"
Now that I am facing the same situation, I can only do so. If I want to fight head-on with an army of more than 3 timid and not confident enough to defeat the opponent's 11 horses, the only way is to put them to death and survive!I hope God will take pity on you and win the battle!
Han Xin said in a deep voice: "Trust me, we are always creating miracles, and this time we are no exception. Follow me to fight with you, and we can still succeed in this battle!"

Many soldiers have always admired Han Xin very much. Before Mingxiu's plank road crossed Chencang secretly, and before he captured Jinguan by clever means, Han Xin did bring many surprises to people.It is precisely because of this that Han Xin has extraordinary prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, although the current situation does not seem to be very beneficial to the Han army.But after hearing the encouragement, there was still a hint of thought in their hearts, maybe Marshal Han would lead them to create a new miracle.

Han Xin continued: "At present, the Zhao army has already occupied a favorable terrain. It is not that they have a large number of people. First of all, they will be arrogant. There is a saying that arrogant soldiers are bound to lose, but what about us? When have we ever been defeated? Take out Our bravery will definitely win. The Zhao army knew that we were inside Jingxing, and they were waiting for us outside the mouth of Jingxing. They were dreaming of defeating us in a single battle. Because they were worried that we would return to Hedong due to difficulties and obstacles, and Zhao Jun is timid and afraid of being ambushed by us when entering Jingxing, so they dare not attack easily now. This is a good opportunity for us to defeat the enemy!"

Without waiting for any reaction from the crowd, Han Xin continued: "Guan Ying listens to the order!"

When Guan Ying heard that the first task was given to him, he felt a little excited, and immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "The general is at your disposal!"

Han Xin nodded and said: "You lead three thousand light cavalry, each holding a red flag to meet Zhao's camp from the road, and now it is hidden on the mountain. You must pay close attention to the movement of Zhao's army. The army will definitely come out when they see the main force of our army. At that time, your chance will come. Don't hesitate, take the opportunity to rush into Zhao Jun's camp immediately, pull out Zhao Jun's flag, and plant our army's red flag everywhere! Remember, Don't miss this opportunity, the actions of your 3000 people are related to the victory or defeat of this battle, and there is absolutely no room for failure!"

Guan Ying saw Han Xin's confession was so solemn, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and said, "The general will obey!"

As for the others, they followed the commander-in-chief directly by the river outside the mouth of Jingxing and set up a battle against Zhao Jun. This is the time to defeat the enemy!
Guan Ying said, "Marshal, I'm afraid it may be dangerous for you to face Zhao Jun in person?"

Han Xin shook his head and said, "If you don't see me, how could Zhao Jun come out in full force! Don't worry, I'll be fine!"

"Marshal, is setting up an formation by the river a deadly place?" Some generals asked.

Han Xin explained: "We will fight with our backs and die to survive, and this battle will be victorious!"
