Competing

Chapter 543

By the Weishui River, Long Qie was beheaded by Guan Ying!

The first general of the Western Chu Kingdom fell in this way, and the soldiers of the Chu army watched helplessly as the main general was killed and were powerless, and each one of them was heartbroken.

The river was still running, and it was already bright red.

Countless soldiers of the Chu army fell to their knees, howling and extremely sad.

Han Xin rode his horse and stood in the distance, looking at Long Qie's body, with a stern look on the corner of his mouth.

The guy who was defiant in Pengcheng back then finally reaped the bitter fruit. Now he is told with facts, who is strong and who is weak, and Han Xin can be regarded as a shame.More importantly, it is his ingenious chain tricks that make the benefits far more than these.As for life and death, Han Xin sighed softly: There is no compassion on the battlefield...

The decisive battle between Longqie and Guanying by the river successfully attracted the attention of the Chu army, and the death of Longqie made them so sad that they ignored what was behind them.Or they thought that the Chu army's position on the other side of the Weishui River was very safe, but in fact it was not foolproof.

When the sound of rumbling horseshoes and footsteps sounded, they realized that the Han army had come from behind.After Li Zuoche properly broke the embankment to release the water, he led troops from upstream to kill him in time.What Han Xin planned was a series of ingenious schemes, not just beheading a dragon, but the main target was the tens of thousands of elite Chu troops.

The Western Chu army led by Xiang Sheng was completely unprepared, and most of them were concentrated in the narrow riverside area, so it was impossible to set up an effective defense.

This group of Chu troops also fell into a desperate situation with no way out, even though they all gritted their teeth with hatred for the Han army, no matter how much they wanted to fight with the Han army with their swords and avenge General Longqie.

It's a pity that the soldiers were too dense to use their hands and feet at all, and they were almost reduced to the targets of the Han army's hacking and killing. Many of them disappeared in an instant because of helplessness or accidental fall into the icy waves.

Xiang Sheng looked up to the sky and sighed, he didn't expect such a great opportunity to become like this in an instant.Long Qie's death was caused by his own carelessness and disobedience to advice.But the tragedy that the Chu army is now facing is entirely his own responsibility.

The dragon is dead, and I thought about returning with tens of thousands of soldiers, or fighting the Han army in the atmosphere of bereavement.But I didn't expect that the Han army's strategy was so well planned, one after another, they all fell into the trap.The Han army has already laid a net, and no one can escape.

It's useless to regret now, my fate is the same as Long Qi's, destined to be buried by the Weishui River.While Xiang Sheng was not reconciled, his heart was also full of guilt and worry. The [-] elite Chu army was completely annihilated. What a great loss to the Western Chu Kingdom.Xiang Sheng felt very sorry for Xiang Yu, and at the same time worried about the future of Western Chu, until a feathered arrow pierced his chest.

Along the Weishui River, a tragic massacre was taking place. One by one, the soldiers of the Western Chu State fell under the butcher's knife of the Han army. It was tragic, extremely tragic.

During the battle, almost all the [-] troops of the Western Chu Kingdom were wiped out, and only a few hundred soldiers escaped. This was Han Xin's intention to stay and let them go back to report to Xiang Yu.The losses of the Han army were not small, especially in order to lure Long Qi, and the sacrifice during the second siege was even greater. Nearly [-] people were killed in battle, and many were injured.

Although the price was high, it was gratifying to win a complete victory and successfully defeated the Western Chu Army.For Han Xin, the land of Qi is now completely in his hands, and he has a huge foundation.At the same time, it once again established its prestige, making the people of the world tremble with fear.

After the war, Han Xin returned to Linzi immediately. Now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the prestige of victory in this battle and stabilize the land of Qi.

Of course, the first thing after going back is to deal with the post-war affairs.

"Marshal, a total of 210 soldiers were killed in this battle, and almost 2 were injured, of which more than 900 were seriously injured..." Kuai Che counted the casualties of the Han army in time and reported them to Han Xin immediately know.

Han's confidence moved. Although Longqie's troops were wiped out in this battle, his own losses were not small.These tens of thousands of troops have been fighting with him all the time, and their combat effectiveness and battlefield experience are very rich. Such a big loss is really a pity.However, this is also forced by the situation, and war requires sacrifice.

"Well, the wounded soldiers should be healed as soon as possible. As for the dead soldiers, they should be notified to the King of Han for compensation!" Han Xin replied thoughtfully. These soldiers were all from Han, so the compensation would naturally be handed over to Liu Bang.

Kuai Che smiled slightly after hearing that, Han Xin has improved a lot, this is really a coup.

Han Xin continued to order: "The reorganization of the original Qi army must also be accelerated. The number and combat power of the army must be increased as soon as possible. This is the foundation of survival."

Although he defeated Long Qie, he formed a deep hatred with the Western Chu Kingdom. It is hard to guarantee that Xiang Yu will not come to avenge Long Qie with Hot Blood, so he still has to be prepared.Furthermore, there is Liu Bang, who is bitter and vengeful, behind him, in case he gets upset at any time, and makes a sudden attack or something...

Only by improving military combat effectiveness is the greatest guarantee.Especially in the future, if you want to seek greater development, you must have sufficient strength.

Kuai Che nodded and said, "The two generals Li Zuoche and Guanying are working on this matter!"

Mentioning the lives of the two men, Han Xin said with a smile: "That's good. The victory in this battle is thanks to the two generals. It is time to reward the meritorious deeds."

In this battle, Guan Ying beheaded Long Qie, which was definitely a great achievement.Li Zuoche led the army to build a dam to block the water, blocking the rescue operation of the Chu army, making the strategy a success.At the same time, he personally led the army to defeat the Chu army under Xiang Sheng.Both of them have made outstanding contributions. Of course, these are all accomplished by relying on Han Xin's ingenious arrangements.

Li Zuoche was still calm, he was Han Xin's most trusted confidant general, he knew that Han Xin would not treat him badly, and he didn't care about rewards for his achievements.

Guan Ying was in a good mood because he had slain Long Qie and was ashamed.Furthermore, the deeds of slaying Long Qie will spread all over the world in a short time. He must be praised and admired by others. It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune, and he is naturally very happy.At the same time, I also feel a little more grateful to Han Xin. After all, Han Xin gave me the opportunity. To be honest, anyone at that time could kill the dragon who was trapped in the embankment.Han Xin sent himself to go, it can be said that he gave himself a credit, and Guan Ying is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he naturally understands it in his heart.

Han Xin said with a smile: "After I report the war to the King of Han, I will reward you for your merits!"

"Marshal Xie, thanks to the Marshal's commanding skills in this battle, what is my contribution?" After Guan Ying expressed his thanks, he was very humble.

Seeing this, Han Xin exchanged glances with Kuai Che, feeling a little excited in his heart, a small gesture that showed that Guan Ying was leaning on his side.The hard work paid off, and finally some gains were made.In fact, Han Xin specially gave Guan Ying this credit and favor this time, precisely because he followed Kuai Che's suggestion and tried to win over those Han generals who were originally loyal to Liu Bang, and Guan Ying was naturally a representative of them.Now it has finally achieved some results, and Han Xin is very pleased with this.

Han Xin said with a smile: "General Guan Ying, don't be humble, credit is credit, you are like this, and all the soldiers who have military merits this time are like this."

Li Zuoche and Guan Ying left Qi Palace first because they were busy with military affairs.The moment he walked out of the palace gate, Guan Ying looked at the tall and majestic palace, feeling a little complicated.Han Xin has lived here openly, and many people in Linzi have regarded Han Xin as the king of Qi.

As a general under Han Xin's command, he is still receiving favors from others, and he knows how to repay his kindness... But he was originally Liu Bang's subject, what should he do now?What kind of attitude or what to say to handle affairs?Guan Ying was a little confused.

After they left, only Han Xin and Kuai Che were left in the palace.

"Congratulations King Qi!" Kuai Che apologized and bowed.

Han Xin was startled for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Sir, don't be in a hurry, lest people hear you gossip..."

Kuai Che said with a smile: "Qi has been established, and the dragon has been defeated. There are many people who have made meritorious service in this battle. Li Zuoche and Guan Ying should be rewarded, so shouldn't the commander of this battle be rewarded even more?"

Speaking of which, Long Qi's attack just added a weight to himself. With such a feat, Liu Bang would not be able to show some sincerity.As the king of Qi, Liu Bang had to give it if he gave it, or he had to give it if he didn't, otherwise he would blame himself for being rude.Han Xin laughed: "Sir, that's what you said, then follow the plan and see Liu Bang's reaction."

"Don't worry, Liu Bang will definitely make a wise choice. Let's wait for the good news. Kuai suggested that King Qi start preparing for the enthronement ceremony!" Kuai Che said with a smile.

"In this way, there will be Mr. Lao!" Han Xin is still very polite to Kuai Che, a person who has helped him a lot, and naturally he must arrange these things.

Kuai Che nodded and said, "No!" After finishing speaking, he took his leave and left.

Han Xin was the only one left in the empty hall, sitting alone on the throne of King Qi, muttering to himself: "The Enthronement Ceremony!"

After so many years of hard work, the opportunity finally came today, and the land of Yan Qi has surrendered under his feet.If he does not sing, he will become a blockbuster, and if he does not fly, he will soar into the sky. Han Xin clearly remembers his original promise, and now it has finally been realized.

But what about Xiangning people?When he became the hero of the world and the noble king of Qi, the woman he loved couldn't see it and couldn't share this glory with him.

He once promised her to be a noble woman in the world, but now he can't fulfill it at all. Looking at the huge but empty palace hall, and the moonlight has fallen on the entrance of the palace at some point, Han Xin suddenly felt disappointed.The thoughts that have been suppressed in my heart for a long time are getting deeper. Is she okay?

At the same time, far away in the city of Hongdu in Jiangdong, a woman was looking up at the bright moon in the sky, missing her lover who went out and worked hard.After a few years, I don't know if he is okay?

Under the same moonlight, thousands of miles away, the same lovesickness...
