Chapter 287 Zhang Han and Wang Li
Li Qing said goodbye to Da Niu and the others, stepped on the red wind, and headed towards Julu.
Julu, Zhang Han led 200,000 troops, defeated Zhao Xie's army of Zhao State, and besieged Zhao Xie in Julu City.
Zhang Han was also preparing for a decisive battle with the righteous army in Julu, and after obtaining Zhao Gao's consent, he mobilized all the elite soldiers and horses of the Qin State in the north, totaling more than 400,000 troops, with more than one million troops on both sides, gathered in Julu, thousands of miles of company camps, dense camp tents, and surrounded Julu City to death.
Zhang Han looked at the dense enemy troops on the city tower, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold smile, and said to Wang Li beside him: "General Wang, look at how many rebels there are in this city?" ”
Wang Li, the grandson of Wang Qian, the son of Wang Ben, when Wang Ben died in Beifeng Mountain with the first emperor on his eastern tour, Wang Li was stationed in Shangdang, when Qin II ascended the throne, it coincided with the rebellion of the Hu people in the north, Zhao Gao was worried that the Hu people would become bigger, and did not dare to remove Wang Li at will, and after Wang Li defeated the Hu people, the world was already in chaos, and Zhao Gao did not dare to transfer Wang Li at will, but wantonly sealed Wang Li, named a general, and led the Qin army to deal with all kinds of rebels.
Wang Li estimated it and said: "At this time, there are no less than 600,000 rebels in the city, so many rebels are gathered in the city, I am afraid that we don't need to attack, we only need to besiege him for half a year, and the rebels have no food, and they will inevitably collapse by themselves." ”
Zhang Han nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the rebels would all come to save Zhao Xie, instead of us going around to exterminate them, it is better to wait for them to gather together and exterminate them in one shot, so as to prevent future troubles." ”
Wang Li agreed: "General Gao Jian, I heard that the rebels of Chu have gathered in the Yellow River, I am afraid that they also have the intention of rushing to Julu, so I have to guard against it." ”
When Zhang Han heard this, he laughed and said: "The rebels of Western Chu have been crippled as early as the Battle of Dingtao, and there is no need to worry, they are only fine with the Yellow River, if they dare to cross the Yellow River, this huge deer Daze is their burial place." ”
Since Zhang Han defeated Xiang Liang, he has no longer taken the southern rebel army in his eyes, in Zhang Han's opinion, even the most powerful Xiang Liang has been defeated, and the rest of the rebel army, where can they do anything.
The camp of the Chu army, since arriving at the Yellow River, Song Yi's soldiers and horses stopped, since Zhao Xie, Zhang Er and others were trapped in Julu, the rebels from all over the country rushed to rescue, Chu was naturally no exception, King Chu Huai sent Song Yi as the main general, Xiang Yu as the deputy general, led 300,000 troops, rushed to Julu to support the rebels.
"General, Song Yi asked us to cross the river first, and he crossed the river later."
Zhong Liyi walked into the tent with an angry face and said to Xiang Yu, since he arrived at the Yellow River, Song Yi began to stop, in view of Xiang Liang's previous experience, Fan Zeng also stopped Xiang Yu who was about to cross the river first, afraid that Song Yi would repeat his old tricks.
Xiang Yu's face sank, and he said to Fan Zeng: "Sure enough, as Father Ya said, Song Yi is a dog thief, and he really doesn't plan to cross the river. ”
Fan Zeng laughed and said: "It's good not to cross the river, now all the righteous armies are looking forward to the reinforcements of our Chu State, and he Song Yi does not want to march, which just gives us the opportunity to win the hearts of the rebels." ”
Xiang Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Father, then what do you say we should do now?" ”
Fan Zeng touched his beard and said, "Zhong Liyi, how is it in the army now?" ”
Zhong Liyi said: "There are many complaints from the soldiers, saying that we should not continue to stay here, but should continue to go north. ”
Fan Zeng asked, "How did the old man do what you were asked to do?" ”
Zhong Liyi said: "Everything is in accordance with the orders of the military master, and we have spread the news to the whole army. ”
Fan Zeng nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiang Yu: "General, in a few days, it will be time to avenge General Xiang Liang." ”
Xiang Yu's eyes showed a deep chill, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said coldly: "Okay, let Song Yi, the thief, live for a few more days." ”
Before Li Qing got close to Julu, he had already felt the solemn killing intent in the air, and even Chifeng seemed to be a little uneasy, no matter how Li Qing urged, he was unwilling to continue to move forward.
Li Qing frowned, through these days of understanding, Li Qing also knew that although this red wind was slippery, it would not be cowardly like this.
"Drive."
Li Qing patted Chifeng, who was still reluctant to move forward, and even began to spin in place, making a sound of "boom" in his mouth.
"Something is wrong, is there some danger ahead?"
Li Qing felt a sense of unease, and was just about to turn the horse's head, when he suddenly felt a shaking on the ground, and a white light was rushing in the distance.
"What? Flood? ”
Li Qing's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran, Li Qing knew why Chifeng didn't dare to move forward, and in front of him, he didn't know why, a flood broke out.
What Li Qing didn't know was that this flood was a strategy used by Zhang Han to besiege Julu, Zhang Han broke the water of Daze, and hit Julu City with water, Julu City was flooded for most of it, and all the grain and grass in the city were wet, and the people had to move to the roof to avoid the flood, which was miserable for a while.
The grain and grass in the city were flooded, most of them were inedible, the soldiers competed for food, and clashed with each other, the leaders of the righteous army, Zhao Xie and Zhang Er, had no choice but to order the soldiers to forcibly seize the people's food.
Zhang Han and Wang Li stood on the high slope, looking at the people struggling in the flood, Zhang Han sneered, and Wang Li's whole face became extremely gloomy.
Zhang Han pointed to Julu City and said: "In this way, in two months, all the rebels in the city will be killed, and the Great Qin Rebellion will be completely quelled." ”
Wang Li said dissatisfiedly: "How innocent are the people in the city, your plan to break the embankment is too ruthless, Daze's accumulation of a hundred years of water will make the entire Julu become a purgatory on earth." ”
Zhang Han said with a smile: "So what, as long as the war can be calmed down, it is not enough for the small people." ”
Wang Li glanced at Zhang Han deeply, turned around and left, Wang Li felt that Zhang Han was too crazy, such a person was not suitable to be too close to him.
Zhang Han looked at Wang Li's back and smiled disdainfully, the Wang family has long since declined, Wang Ben died in battle, after Wang Jian disappeared, the Wang family has already reached the time to be replaced, and the one who replaced the Wang family is naturally the Zhang Han family.
Sima Xin and Dong Peng came to Zhang Han's side and said, "General, just now General Wang Li ran away with an army of 200,000 on white horses, saying that he wanted to prevent the rebels of Western Chu from crossing the river. ”
Zhang Han nodded, signaling that he knew, but his face became a little indifferent, Sima Xin and Dong Fei were both people sent by Zhao Gao to monitor Zhang Han, but through these observations, Zhang Han found that these two people did not seem to respect Zhao Gao as much as they imagined, and even, the two occasionally showed a look of contempt for Zhao Gao, which made Zhang Han doubt the identity of the two.
