Competing

Chapter 91 Huaiyin people?Surname Han?

In the autumn of the second year of Qin II, Generals Dong Yi, Sima Xin, and Li You of the State of Qin dispatched troops to hold back the rebel army of Chu State, and personally led [-] troops to divert in Jishui to attack Qi State.

Qi Xiangtian Rong got the news, organized defense and resistance on the one hand, and sent a rescue letter to the Three Kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Chu on the other hand.Tian Rong's hope is still the state of Chu, even though the Chu army is fighting fiercely with the Qin army.But the people of Qi believe that the people of Chu understand the truth of death, and at least they will fight together to fight against Zhang Han.To this end, Tian Rong sent his confidant Lord Gaoling, accompanied by wealthy businessman Fan Wenke, to Xuyi to meet King Huai of Chu and Qingzi champion Song Yi.

"Mr. Gaoling of Qi State went directly to Xuyi?" Yin Xu shook his head in astonishment when he heard the news.

Chen Ping, who came from Pengcheng, also found it funny: "Yes! I heard that Marshal Xiang is not in Pengcheng, and he didn't stay. He went to Xuyi immediately. Maybe the people of Qi think that they should meet King Huai and Song Yi first?"

Yin Xu and Chen Ping looked at each other and smiled, quite helpless and bitter. Fortunately, the recent battle has gone smoothly, which makes people feel a little relieved.The last time Yin Xu suggested to invite Liu Bang and Lu Chen to lead the army to join the battle, the Chu army gained momentum and the pressure on Dong Yi's troops was much reduced.He also achieved several small victories one after another, which greatly frustrated the Qin army's spirit. .

Dong Yi was a little disappointed, Zuo Ming in Shanfu County pursued and killed more than 2 people.After several small defeats, thousands of troops were lost. After several battles, the number of Qin troops who could fully participate in the battle was less than [-].Dong Yi was under a lot of pressure, but he learned that the general had already entered the state of Qi. As long as he persisted for more than a month and held back the people of Chu, Zhang Han would be able to defeat the people of Qi successfully.They had no choice but to shrink the front line, adopt a defensive posture, and not directly engage the Chu people, and at the same time sent a letter of appeal to Sima Xin.

On Yongqiu's side, Li You's pressure was not small, after the two sides fought in Yongqiu.General Li You really realized Xiang Yu's bravery, and realized that Zhong Yin's advice was not without purpose.However, his troops were limited, so he had to defend Yongqiu and drag Xiang Yu to his death. He said that Li You was very good at defending Li You. Last year, Wu Guang besieged Xingyang for several months.

But this time, the opponent was replaced, and replaced by a powerful, mighty and brave man who is unmatched.Also, Fan Zeng, who has a soldier in his stomach and has a great strategy, made suggestions, and Long Qi, Xiang Zhuang, and Yu Ziqi are all rare warriors in the world, and the pressure Yongqiu is under is unprecedented.Especially after the war on the Eastern Front stabilized, Fan Kui was ordered by Xiang Liang and Liu Bang to lead tens of thousands of people to support.This made the already stretched and precarious Yongqiu defense even worse.

Li You looked up to the sky and sighed: I, Li Youzhen, died here wrapped in horse leather?Thinking of Xianyang's nephew, Ziye from Sanchuan County, and thinking of Qin Guo's unfinished task of suppressing the rebellion, he was filled with unwillingness.Thinking of Zhang Han's instructions, in case of emergency, you can ask Sima Xin and the army left behind in Puyang for help.Li You hesitated again and again, and like Dong Yi, he still sent a letter of aid.

Sima Xin withdrew to the north, Song Yi applauded, and immediately led the army back to Xuyi, and never mentioned anything about going north to assist Xiang Liang.Although Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew sent letters repeatedly, asking him to slow down Sima Xin's North Aid and buy time to kill Li You, Song Lingyin didn't give up at all.King Huai of Chu Xiong Xin intervened for a time, but Song Yi couldn't help but excuse his illness, especially after the guests from Qi State arrived, he hid in the mansion and planned secretly.

Feeling helpless, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng had no choice but to hope that Yongqiu would be captured earlier, and at the same time asked Xiang Liang to hold back the reinforcements as much as possible.After receiving letters from Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang summoned the advisers and generals to discuss strategies in the main tent of the Chinese army.

Xiang Liangdao: "Zhang Han went to 21 cities in Qi, and Tian Rong, the prime minister of Qi, was defeated several times and was in danger. He has asked for help from my great Chu." At this point, his expression was quite dissatisfied, Lord Gaoling was too ignorant, It is I, Xiang Liang, who can save you Qi, but you keep passing through Pengcheng and rushing to Xuyi.Although Xiang Liang was a little displeased, he still had some courage, and he was still thinking about how to rescue Qi.

Xiang Liang coughed lightly, and continued: "Dong Yi has not been directly confronting our army recently, because of the state of confrontation. Yu'er's situation in Yongqiu is very good, and in a few days, he can capture the city and kill Li You. Puyang Qin The army camp and Sima Xin who retreated to the north will go to the rescue. What we have to do is to hold back the reinforcements and give Yu'er a chance to break the city. At the same time, making Zhang Han's rear unstable and unable to use his full strength is also regarded as an infliction on Qi. Rescue. If you have any ideas and strategies, please come as soon as possible!"

Zhong Li said: "Puyang's side is okay, but Sima Xin's side is beyond reach. It would be best if Xuyi can send troops."

Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "Song Yi's villain is short-sighted and completely disregarded the overall situation. When Sima Xin pulled out his battalion and retreated, he didn't pursue him, wasting a great opportunity. Now that he has returned to Xuyi, how can he be counted on?"

"That's right!" Yin Xu sighed, "The only hope in Xuyi is that Brother Yingbu will transfer the garrisons from Huainan and Kuaiji counties to send us an additional 6000 troops."

Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, suggested: "Although Dong Yi retreated, he did not withdraw his troops. He still threatened the front line of Pengcheng. Why don't we divide our troops into two groups, half confronting Dong Yi and the other half going to intercept the reinforcements?" He didn't even bring Zhang Liang with him this time, otherwise Mr. Zifang's clever plan might solve the urgent need.But Zhang Liang had his own ideas. Although Xiang Liang's Peixian army directly participated in the battle to share the merits, it didn't mean that he had no fear in his heart.So what Liu Bang has to do is to obey orders and cooperate as much as possible, especially if he gets a bargain, he must keep a low profile.

Chen Pingsi said: "It's a great strategy to encircle and fight for reinforcements! We can ambush Qin's reinforcements on the way, not trying to wipe out many enemies, but just delaying time. This should be easy to do."

Yin Xu murmured: "It is good to encircle and fight for aid, except for Yongqiu, it has little effect. Dong Yi and Sima Xin are still there, and the Qin army is basically injured. If you want to attack the Qin army, it is most effective to reduce the pressure on Qi from the side." The best way is to make Zhang Han feel unstable in the rear."

"How to do it?" General Xiao Gongjiao asked doubtfully.

Yin Xu said: "The first thing to be sure is, where is Zhang Han's rear? Is it the area south of Dahe and north of Pengcheng?"

Chen Ping slapped his head and said in surprise: "General Yin has a great plan!"

Xiang Liang also doubted, "Donglai, you mean Hebei?"

"Yes, Puyang Zhanghan camp!"

"Although it's a clever plan, we don't have enough troops? The 6000 men sent by Yingbu have not yet arrived. We have to ambush Sima Xin and Puyang's reinforcements, and defend Dong Yi. There is really no extra troops. Pengcheng's defense is weak. What if we are not careful? If you miss it, you lose more than you gain.”

Xiang Liang also sighed: "Alas! There are not enough troops, so there are many constraints in our actions. Let's put this matter aside for now. After Yu'er defeats Li You, we can make a long-term plan."

Yin Xu sighed softly and had no choice but to give up!After continuing to discuss, Xiang Liang and Zhong Limei ambushed Qin's reinforcements.Yin Xu left 2 soldiers to stabilize Dong Yi. Although Dong Yi had nearly [-] men, his momentum was lacking. General Yin was not afraid.What's more, the [-] new troops sent by Yingbu will arrive in a few days to support him.

Walking out of the big tent, Chen Ping said: "General Yin really has a clever plan! What a pity!"

Xiao Gongjiao, who was walking beside him, hesitated to speak, General Yin said when he saw this, "What Brother Xiao wants to say, just speak the truth!"

Xiao Gongjiao said: "When I came to the marshal's tent, I heard a group of small soldiers chatting in a hurry, and one of them mentioned a surprise attack on Puyang... At that time, I wanted to stop and ask carefully, but I didn't dare to delay when I was summoned by the military order, so I had to give up. Just then I heard General Yin talk about it again, so..." While speaking, his gaze fell on Yin Xu's face intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that Marquis Shaoxing would mind being compared with a small pawn.

How could Yin Xu care about these things, he just smiled and didn't care at all.

"Huh!" Chen Ping asked suspiciously, "Just a soldier? It's not easy!"

Zhong Limei slapped his head and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I almost gave in. A few days ago, I accidentally heard that there was a small soldier in the army who directly stated that Zhang Han's goal was the state of Qi. I was curious at the time, and I wanted to ask , I was delayed by something. Could it be the same person? I remember hearing people say that the pawn seems to be from Huaiyin, and his surname seems to be Han!"

Huaiyin people?Surname Han?Yin Xu's heart suddenly trembled, and he murmured: "Could it be..."
