Chapter 889: The Protagonist

On June 28, Han Xin had already entered Guanzhong.

About ten days ago, seeing that Wu Chen's attack on the Meridian Road had attracted the main force of Lieutenant Qin's army, Han Xin led more than 20,000 troops to enter the customs by the old road.

But the old road is long, 20,000 people are too quiet, the enemy is not blind or deaf, Chencang County arranges 10,000 lieutenant troops to garrison, and more sentry detectives are set up on the old road, Han Xin has no way to hide after all, and in the end, although he was lucky to seize Sanguan, but Chen Cang's soldiers fortified in Gudao County and blocked the way.

Therefore, the crossing is narrow, if you rashly attack, it is to attack the crowd with outnumbered, even if you break the Chen Cangjun, Han Xin will lose a lot.

Fortunately, he had a Sima from Hanzhong, named Zhao Yan, who had traveled back and forth between Chencang and Hanzhong many times, and knew that there was a local trail that could bypass the old road crossing and attack Chencang.

Han Xin then used his strategy to send Zhao Yan and the Ba warrior Danhu to take the bamen who were good at mountain marching, to bypass the blockade of the enemy army and defeat the defenders of Chen Cang on both sides.

After taking the grain of Chencang and alleviating the lack of the army, Han Xin immediately marched eastward and captured Yu County (Yu Town, Chencang District, Baoji City).

When you come here, you will be completely away from the Qinling Mountains and enter the typical Guanzhong Loess Plateau, the difference from later generations is that the large plateau is not too broken, and it is full of greenery as far as the eye can see - in addition to dense corn fields, wheat fields, and large forests that spread from Qishan.

The former capital of Qin, Yongcheng (Fengxiang County, Shaanxi), is forty miles to the north, located on the Zhou Yuan at the foot of Qishan Mountain......

"I know today why Zhou and Qin are in this corner of the world."

Lowering his head and picking up a handful of loess, looking at the dense farmhouses in all directions, Han Xin knew that he had entered the hinterland of Qin.

But at this time, Han Xin began to face a choice.

Two different routes of march lay ahead.

"From Yuxian to the east, to Xianyang more than 300 miles, a horse Pingchuan, and there is a gallop road connection, the car can be reached in three or four days, and the foot soldier is only seven or eight days. At present, the enemy soldiers are all in Lantian and Shangyu, and the decisive battle with the Marquis of Wuzhong, Xianyang is empty, and it is easy to get it, such a great achievement, the general can take it lightly! ”

Zhao Yan, a native of Hanzhong, urged Han Xin to go directly to the east and go to Xianyang.

Zhao Yan was originally a county lieutenant in Hanzhong County, and he did not surrender to the Northern Expeditionary Army until a few months ago, knowing that he was too late to surrender to Cheng, and after the success of Wuzhong Hou Jing, he was afraid that he would not be able to get a high-ranking official, so he pinned his hopes on Han Xin, hoping to get a share of the great merit of capturing Xianyang.

But Lu Jia, who has the responsibility of supervising the army, has a different view.

"Although the puppet emperor placed the main force in Lantian and Wuguan, the population in Guanzhong is abundant, and it is not difficult to recruit tens of thousands of people to resist us. After the defeat of Chen Cang's army, thousands of people still retreated north to Yongcheng. If Sheyong City strikes Xianyang in the east, there will be obstacles in front and interceptions in the back, and our army's baggage will be far away at the old road crossing, and I am afraid that we will be in a dilemma, but it will not be ......beautiful."

Although the views are contradictory, the premise is based on the fact that Heifu has not entered the military customs.

Because Qinling and Daba Mountain are heavily blocked, and both armies are advancing, Han Xin and others still don't know that Wuguan was broken by Heifu more than ten days ago......

Han Xin looked at the map and groaned, if it had been more than half a year ago, Han Xin, who had always liked to use dangerous tactics, would definitely not hesitate to choose to pull out the camp and march eastward, and he would definitely go to Xianyang first, so that the world would look sideways!

But last year, he went deep into Nanyang alone, and when he returned to the division, he was caught by Wang Ben in Danyang, and he was defeated and lost his troops. This blow brought a great change to Han Xin's personality, he was so frustrated, he was not so blind to anyone, and married the niece of Marquis Wu Zhong, after all, the man after marriage was different from the little virgin in the past, and became more and more stable......

He knew that with countless pairs of eyes in the army, he could not afford to make the same mistake again.

So Han Xin said: "The reason why Marquis Wu Zhonghou let us enter the pass from Hanzhong is to contain the enemy army, so that the main force can smoothly attack Wuguan and enter Xianyang. ”

"Instead of making a desperate bet, taking risks on the side of the division and attacking Xianyang."

Taking the old path is to win by wonder, but now, it must be the right one!

"Therefore, if we can do the former, besiege Yongcheng without attacking, and lure Xianyang to send troops to help, we will have completed the order of the prince."

And after the reinforcements, you can rest assured that you will be able to attack the city.

Han Xin pointed to the map of Yongdi and said: "Yongdi sandwiches the north and south banks of Weichuan, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the original fields are fertile, and the products are rich, and the so-called Qinchuan is also." ”

"If we capture this place, we will gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong, plus this is the former capital of Qin, where the temple of the kings of the past dynasties is located, when the heart of Guanzhong is the right auxiliary of Xianyang, it is enough to shock Guanzhong and promote the prestige and benevolence of the Northern Expeditionary Army!"

"What's even better is that the south of Yongcheng is scattered, and the Hanzhong soldiers and food can continue to go north; There is Longguan in the west, adjacent to Longxi County, which can receive the Shu County soldiers who attack Xixian from Qishan Road; The north is connected back to the middle road, and it leads directly to Beidi County, where the old department of the prince Zhang Han and his eldest son are located......"

"After obtaining Yongcheng, within ten months, it will be able to open up three places, Yong, Beidi, and Longxi will be connected into one piece, with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of one million.

"This is the way to win and not be defeated!"

Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, he was the reins that Heifu put on Han Xin, and Han Xin chose the most foolproof way of playing, so that Lu Jia didn't have to worry about him repeating the mistakes of the past, and there was one more point, Lu Jia didn't say.

In this battle to enter the customs, Han Xin must not monopolize the credit, he has to figure out who is the supporting role and who is the protagonist......

But Han Xin's next sentence made Lu Jia cry and laugh, this Han Xin is still not sophisticated enough.

After deciding on the strategy of going north to Yongcheng, although he admired Heifu's grand strategy, Han Xin, who was still not very optimistic about his use of troops in battle, said optimistically:

"At that time, even if Marquis Wu Zhong fails to attack Wuguan, relying on us alone will be enough to control Xianyang's life!"

……

At this moment, Heifu, the protagonist of this battle, was standing on the command post of Lantian Mountain, overlooking Wang Lijun, who was camped across the water from the Northern Expeditionary Army, more than ten miles away.

"Little Wang has made progress, at least in the camp, he has a plank and an eye, and he has learned the true biography from the family of Marquis Wucheng, but I don't know how much he learned from his eldest father and father in command?"

With that, Heifu turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground behind him.

"You said that the Lantian Army was in chaos, the people were panicked, and there were even many deserters?"

However, it was Li Si's second son, Li Yu, who escaped from Duting South a few days ago, taking advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong, and wanted to contact Heifu, but encountered a group of soldiers near Lantian County......

"I was desperate at the time, thinking that it was a scout sent by Wang Li to patrol, but unexpectedly, they were a group of fugitives, who robbed us of horses and money and silks and decided to leave!"

"So we can only walk on the mountain road, wading through thorns, and today we will reach ......"

Li Yu also met Heifu a few times when he was in Xianyang, but the little person who respectfully saluted when he saw the Li family back then is a majestic man who is about to control the authority of the world.

Heifu bowed his head: "It seems that Wang Li's command is already suspicious of the three armies, and even if there is a strict punishment, it is difficult to restrain the fugitive."

It can be seen that the Xianyang Incident, the flight of the second in command of Daqin, how big a blow to morale, it is said that Xianyang still has people fleeing, and when the building began to collapse, the news could not be concealed at all.

How can such an army fight?

But the lion fights the rabbit, and he also uses all his strength, not carelessly.

After asking Li Yu about what he had seen and heard in Weinan and Lantian, the topic of Heifu and him returned to the Xianyang Change.

But Heifu didn't care about Li Si's "gathering thousands of people and holding high the banner of righteousness" in the waste hill, the old hamster obviously ran away from the coup d'Γ©tat, and it would be good if he could save his life.

Heff was concerned with something else.

"Zhao Gao, it's really collusion with the Six Kingdoms......"

Li Yudao: "Zhao Gao's recent advice to Hu Hai is a bit unusual, my father has been suspicious for a long time, and he only found out the truth that night, Zhao Gao is afraid that he has colluded with the thieves of the six countries outside Hangu Pass, and wants to switch to welcome the thieves!" ”

Heifu recalled: "I remember that the Sanchuan Shou Zhao Ben who retreated to Hangu Pass was the former Beidi Shou and the nephew of the Hou Zhaohai clan, so he was not a relative of Zhao Gao?" ”

Li Yu denied: "No, Zhao Ben was recommended by the Marquis of Tongwu as the Sanchuan Shou, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Gao." ”

"Then Zhao Gao is probably not going to open Hangu Pass."

Heifu understood: "It's Hedong where his brother Zhao Cheng served as the county lieutenant...... Yiguan, Maojin, Fenglingdu, Pusaka, as long as there is a boat, there are too many roads to enter the customs. ”

Fortunately, Wuguan made a loud noise, and it was broken in two days, and the commander of Yaoguan also surrendered, otherwise if Heifu delayed for too long on this road, I am afraid that Zhao Gao's wish would be really fulfilled and let Xiang Yu enter the customs first!

Now that he knew this information, Heifu's mind was also activated, and he asked him to take Li Yu down to rest, and found Ji Ying again:

"Starting today, three times in the day and night, send 10,000 people to the shore of Bashui, make a big fanfare, and then shout these words to the opposite Wang Lijun."

"What?"

Ji Ying immediately became energetic, he understood that he had no talent to lead troops, but he was extremely talented in engaging in intelligence, doing propaganda, and helping the prince fight the war of public opinion!

Hefu also had something to say about this:

"You can sit and never stand, and you can lie down and never sit."

"A dignified battle that can be won by 10,000 deaths is far worse than a conspiracy that can be won by a thousand deaths."

This is said to Ji Ying's heart, and he has always been regarded as a guideline.

Now, after thinking about it, Heifu said:

"Let's just say that the soldiers fight hard outside, and the traitors betray the country inside."

"Zhao Gao has made an appointment with Chu to chase the prime minister, destroy the Qin clan and Wang Guanzhong."

"Zhao Chengkai is defending the east of the river, the water and land are connected, and the six countries have entered the customs!"

"Xiang Ji has led the Chu people to Hongmen, wanting to destroy Qin Sheji, slaughter Xianyang, burn the palace, send out the emperor's mausoleum, plunder treasures and goods, capture Ru and other children, and share them with Zhao Wei and the group of thieves!"

The more Ji Ying listened, the more he admired, the pavilion chief deserved to be the pavilion chief, and these ideas came as soon as he opened his mouth.

As everyone knows, all of the above are things that have happened in history, and Heifu just said it casually.

But when it reached the ears of Wang Li's soldiers, it was a matter of the lives of their relatives in their homeland, and they probably couldn't laugh it off......

Ji Ying wrote them down one by one, and taught them to the soldiers when he went back.

"Two more sentences."

Heifu looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and the Xuan-colored Qin Banner that was faintly visible above, and said sincerely:

"The Qin people don't fight the Qin people!"

"Stop the civil war, unite with the outside world!"
