Chapter 1737: Unify Jizhou (II) and destroy Han
"Lord, Han Xin has been captured by the last general, do you want to see him?" Li Jing asked.
Due to his special status, Han Xin was not escorted back to Yecheng by Zhang Liao along with other prisoners, but was left in the army, waiting for Qin Hao's summons at all times.
Of course, Qin Hao also wanted to see Han Xin, but if he saw him so soon, the intention of persuading him to surrender would be too urgent, and Qin Hao didn't want Han Xin to think that he had to surrender him.
"No, let's hang Han Xin first, and then go see him after the army enters northern Hebei." Qin Hao said with a playful expression.
Han Xin is now in northern Hebei, and he still has Zhang He's army of 30,000, so he still has a little capital to surrender.
Qin Hao was already disgusted with continuing to negotiate conditions, he hoped that he could strip Han Xin of everything and let him surrender to the Qin army without any conditions, and when the 150,000 army marched into northern Hebei, it could also cut off Han Xin's capital to negotiate conditions with Qin Hao in the end.
"Ordered Li Jing, Xue Rengui, and Long Ji to each lead an army of 50,000, divided into three divisions, left, center and right, and the troops were divided into three ways to attack northern Hebei." Qin Hao ordered.
"No."
With Qin Hao's order, the 150,000 Qin army was like a machine, quickly and methodically, divided into three armies and drove towards northern Hebei.
Northern Hebei, Hejian County, Zhisuo Lecheng County, is the national capital of South Korea.
Hejian County was originally a country between Hejian, but during the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Li, the king of Hejian, Liu Yi, the son of Hejian, and his family were all killed by the Yellow Turban Army.
Because the Liu royal family of Hejian was wiped out by the Yellow Turban, there was no one to inherit the throne, so Liu Hong changed the country of Hejian to a county, and divided Han Fu, the father of Han Xin, as the Taishou.
Later, Han Fu was promoted to become the pastor of Jizhou, and got the most elite Wei County in Jizhou, so he moved the governance office from Hejian Lecheng to Yecheng, Wei County.
It's just that Han Fu is not competitive at all, even if he has the most elite Wei County in Jizhou, Han Xin, the first commander of Hebei, can't compete with Yuan Shao.
There are three counties in northern Hebei, namely: Hejian, Zhongshan, and Changshan.
Among them, Changshan County, during the Western Hebei War, when the Korean army shrank, was strategically abandoned by Han Xin, so nearly half of the city was under the control of the Qin army.
That is to say, in today's northern Hebei, there are still Hejian, Zhongshan, and half of Changshan County, which are not under the control of the Qin army.
"Report ...... General Zhang is not good, Long He led 50,000 troops into Changshan, Zhending, Jiumen, Puwu, Jingcheng, Lingshou, and the five counties surrendered without a fight.
Although the southbound Tang did not surrender, it failed to stop the Qin army, and was broken by the Qin army in only one day, and now the entire Changshan County is in the hands of the Qin army. ”
After hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhang He's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The Han army only had 30,000 troops left in northern Hebei, while the Qin army had hundreds of thousands, and the difference in strength was too great.
In order not to be gradually defeated and broken one by one, Zhang He could only concentrate his troops in all parts of the country, and this also caused the defenders in other places to be so weak that they could not resist the advance of the Qin army.
The Changshan army has been strategically abandoned by Zhang He, and it is expected that it will be captured by the Qin army, but he didn't expect that there would be so many county orders surrendered without a fight, and what he didn't expect was still behind.
"Report ...... General Qiyu, Li Jing led 50,000 troops into Zhongshan, Lunu, Anxi, Hanchang, Liwu, Anguo, Wuji, Xinshi, Shangquyang, Wangdu, Tangxian, ten counties and counties surrendered without a fight.
Although the three counties of Puyin, Beiping, and Guangchang resisted desperately, they didn't hold on for even a day, and they were broken through the city gate by Xue Rengui, and now the entire Zhongshan County has fallen into the hands of the Qin army. ”
"Damn."
Zhang He slammed the table angrily, his heart full of confusion and powerlessness.
Now that the two kings of Han and Zhao have been captured alive, and the Han and Zhao coalition forces have been wiped out, how can he stop the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army with only his 30,000 soldiers and horses?
In addition, Zhang He didn't dare to fight with the Qin army anymore, he knew that King Han had the heart to surrender to Qin, and now that King Han and his eldest brother were captured, if he still fought with the Qin army, what if he completely angered the Qin army?
"Report ......"
Seeing that another spy came to report, Zhang He said weakly: "What's the bad news?" ”
"Xue Rengui led 50,000 troops to attack Hejian, and the six counties of Shuzhou, Dongpingshu, Gaoyang, Juxian, Wen'an, and Yixian surrendered without a fight."
"Alas......"
Zhang He didn't scold these county orders for being disloyal, but just sighed helplessly and asked, "What else?" ”
"Xue Rengui has divided 10,000 troops to take Gonggao, Chengping, Zhongshui, and Wuyuan, and personally led 40,000 troops to Leping. In addition, the army of Long Ji and Li Jing is also going to the parallel army of Le, and Happy Ping is about to be completely besieged by the 150,000 Qin army. ”
Hearing this, the generals in the hall completely exploded, and Gao Ran stood up and said: "Brother Jun, it's not a way to go on like this." ”
Gao Ran was the general of the Zhao State, but after the union of Han and Zhao, he cooperated with Zhang He in the First Battle of Western Hebei, so he was incorporated into Zhang He's command, and then it seemed to be forgotten, and he was not transferred back until the Zhao State was destroyed.
After listening to Gao Ran's words, Zhang He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Of course I also know that continuing is just to quench my thirst, but now there are Qin troops in all directions, and the road to the north has also been blocked by the Qin army. ”
Gao Ran was also silent when he heard this, and said after half a sound: "Now that the matter is now, there is not much point in continuing to fight, it's time to think about the last step." ”
Zhang He naturally knew what the last step in Gao Lan's mouth meant, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Wait, wait." ”
It's not that Zhang He doesn't want to surrender, he actually has the heart to surrender, but he took the initiative to surrender to the Qin army, and obeyed Han Xin's orders and surrendered, these are two completely different concepts.
Zhang He hoped to wait for Han Xin's surrender order, so that he could surrender justifiably without being infamy, so he said to wait.
"Lord, Lord, what are you thinking? Now it is a realm of ten deaths and no life, if you don't surrender at this time, when Le Chengcheng completes the lonely city, it is not surrender, but begging. ”
Zhang He's heart was anxious, how did he know that Han Xin didn't want to surrender as soon as possible, but Qin Hao didn't see him at all, and he really couldn't open his mouth to take the initiative to surrender.
In the next few days of waiting, among the only remaining four counties of Gonggao, Chengping, Zhongshui, and Wuyuan, two counties surrendered, and the two counties were broken by Xue Rengui, and Han Du Lecheng became a completely isolated city, but Zhang He still couldn't wait for Han Xin's surrender order.
The three armies of Li Jing, Long Ji, and Xue Rengui have joined forces, and the 150,000 Qin army has surrounded Le Chengli with three layers and three layers outside.
Looking at the Qin army under the city, Zhang He's heart was full of despair.
Although Lecheng is the capital of Han, most of the equipment and materials for defending the city have been transferred to Yecheng, and the materials for defending the city in the city are not sufficient.
How can this battle be fought? I can't fight at all. Zhang He's heart was full of bitterness.
At this moment, Xue Rengui walked out of the army and shouted to Zhang He on the city tower: "Zhang He, I will give you the last half an hour to consider, if you don't open the city and surrender again, I will personally lead the army to break through the Han capital." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals of the Han army in the city were anxious, and they all looked at Zhang He together.
"General, General......"
Looking at a pair of cowardly eyes, Zhang He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "That's it, let's surrender Kaicheng." ”
"No."
In this way, under the may not be of the Qin army, Zhang He opened the city gate, led 30,000 Han troops, and took the initiative to surrender to the Qin army.
At this point, Korea was completely destroyed, and the Qin army unified Jizhou.
