Chapter 843: How Can One Hand Help the Heavens?
In the first year of the second year, on the first day of the second month, Wang Ben was still in Wancheng.
It's not that he doesn't want to personally command the battle against Huaiyang, but the old general is already sick and can't make the trip, and after thirty years of fighting, there are always some old problems on his body, I thought that he could get better after winter, but this is just the beginning of spring, and Wang Ben fell ill again.
Moreover, Wang Ben knew very well that the restored Six Kingdoms were for Qin, and the elbow and armpit were also troubled, and Heifu was the fatal disease of the henchmen at any time.
Although he is old, as long as he sits in Wancheng for one day, he is the backbone of more than 100,000 troops in Nanyang.
On this day, Wang Ben was frowning and drinking the medicine offered by the military doctor, but was interrupted by a sudden news.
"What did you say?"
"Feng Quji, dead!?"
Gan Tang, who had just returned from Xianyang Pegasus, hung his head: "It's suicide, Tingwei has been convicted of Feng's rebellion, and Zuo Cheng heard about it and stayed in prison for a long time." That night, he actually used a pottery shard, cut off his wrist, sat for a night, the next day when the jailer found out, blood sticking to the rice mat, Zuo Prime Minister, has died of exhaustion! ”
"And on the walls of the prison, only four words remained."
Gan Tang gritted his teeth, unable to suppress the grief and indignation in his heart:
"It will not be dishonored!"
"Go to the disease, go to the disease."
The old man was gone, Wang Ben was very sad, and sighed: "The old man is trying to rescue you, and Li Si also swore that he would try to hold it back?" Now, the spy sent to Ba County to inquire about the news has not returned, and the surrender of Feng Zheng to the rebels has not yet been decided, how could Ting Wei decide the case so quickly? ”
Gan Tang said: "Although Yan Le, who presided over the case, did not dare to torture Prime Minister Zuo, he wantonly tortured Feng's cronies and family members, and they could not bear the torture, so he admitted that Prime Minister Zuo had secret contact with Heifu, and deliberately let Han Xin disturb the Central Plains and force the Marquis of Tongwu to withdraw his troops. ”
"He also said that Prime Minister Zuo took the opportunity to return to the dynasty and proposed to give up the land outside the Guan, the purpose of all this is to reach an agreement with Heifu, depose Jinshang, and set up another son, Gao as the emperor!"
"What nonsense!"
Wang Ben was so angry that his face was deformed: "Everyone in the world knows that Feng is loyal to the martyrs, Feng Wu did not choose to sacrifice his life for the country, and his bones are not cold, Feng Quji, as the brother of one of his mother's compatriots, how can he conspire with the enemy?" Moreover, Gongzi Gao has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and once refused to be established as the heir of the emperor, how could he covet the throne at this time? I think it's around Jinshang, there are traitors who are obstructing him, and he has a vicious heart, so he and Feng have to be killed! ”
He hurriedly asked, "How is Gongzi Gao?" ”
"Dead too." Gan Tang remembered the tragedy that happened in Xianyang in late January, and his face was still a little pale.
"After Gongzi Gao was captured, he wrote and said: 'When the first emperor is unharmed, the ministers will give food when they enter, and they will take advantage of the public opinion when they go out. The garment of the palace is given by the minister; The BMW of the stable, the minister has to give it. Ministers should be unable to die, unfilial piety to the son of man, and disloyalty to the minister. The disloyal have no name to stand in the world, and the ministers are invited to die, and they are willing to bury the foot of Lishan. Only the best is to have mercy'. ”
"In the book, the emperor did not allow it, but still sent Gongzi Gao and Feng Jing, a member of the Feng clan, to Xianyang City, where the man killed Xianyang City, the woman died in Du, and the property went to the county officials, and there were countless people sitting together!"
Wang Ben was extremely angry and scolded: "Hu Hai is really a son, is he still the first emperor?" To do this kind of painful thing for relatives and happy for enemies! ”
After scolding Hu Hai, Wang Ben scolded the head of the hundred officials of the Qin Dynasty again.
"What is Lees doing?"
"What is Li Tonggu doing?"
"As the first emperor's minister, if he really wants to stop this tragedy, can he not stop it? Where is the spirit of the exhortation order back then? ”
"I think, he just wants to be alone!"
Wang Ben slammed the medicine bowl on the ground, and with a snap, the pottery shards splashed everywhere, and the dark medicine was scattered all over the ground!
Just like at the beginning of Hu Hai's succession, the four important ministers worked together and forbearance for the country's commitment to be shattered!
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, there was another urgent report from the east.
"Tongwu Hou! I want to see the Marquis of Tongwu! ”
The messenger sent by Sima Ying was waiting outside in a hurry, and despite the obstruction, he broke in, but was pressed to the ground.
"What?"
Wang Ben had a sense of foreboding.
The messenger bowed his head and wept bitterly.
"Seven days ago, Chu stole Xiang to cross the chasm, and General Shijian wanted to attack it, but he left 20,000 people of General Su Jiao to surround Huaiyang, and 40,000 of his own soldiers attacked Xiang Ji."
"Met with Chu thieves, the battle was unfavorable, retreated to Huaiyang, Chu thieves chased after each other, nine battles in a hundred miles, all won, Huaiyang Chu people also broke out, our army was defeated, cut into two. General Shima was trapped, did not descend to Chu, burned himself, General Su Jiao, only returned to Yingchuan with more than 10,000 yuan! ”
After Wang Ben listened, the world whirled for a while.
"Huaiyang lost?"
"Of the 60,000 people, only more than 10,000 are left in Yingchuan?"
He was a little incredulous, how to fight, what was the point, all of which were told a thousand times before setting off in Shijian and Sujiao, and also asked Sima Ying to garrison Runan to prevent Heifu from making trouble.
There are few thieves in Chu, but there are many Qin troops, although half of them are newly recruited. But as long as the second general does what Wang Ben's strategy does, there will be almost no mistakes, as long as Huaiyang is taken, the gap is controlled in hand, and the eastern front is stable, he can concentrate his forces to deal with Heifu.
But why, did they lose?
And lost so badly!
The disappointment in Xianyang, the anger and unwillingness of the defeat at the front, and the grief and indignation in his heart, Wang Ben spurted out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled it on the map!
……
"How many days have I been lying down?"
After opening his eyes and drinking a bowl of hot porridge that made him feel like he was alive, Wang Ben regained his senses, even though his chest and throat were still burning and aching.
"Two days." Gan Tang's eyes were blood-red, and in the two days that the Marquis of Tongwu fell, he had been guarding by the side, only feeling that if there was no such pillar, the entire sky of Daqin would have collapsed.
"Two days, enough wounds on the front line, small broken sores, became festering."
With the support of his guards, Wang Ben struggled to get up.
"Is it safe in the army?"
Gan Tang said: "The news of the illness of the Marquis of Tongwu is only known to a few people, and no one dares to leak it, but with the withdrawal of the rout, the defeat on the front line cannot be concealed......"
Wang Ben shook his head: "The military situation in various places must be backlogged, right?" Pick the important ones and read them to the old man. ”
Gan Tang looked at Wang Ben's body, which seemed to be about to run out of oil, and stopped talking, and finally held a stack of battle reports and told Wang Ben all the bad news one by one.
"After Xiang Ji broke our army in Huaiyang, although he also suffered a lot of losses, but in the name of a great victory, there were many people from Chendi, and now he took 20,000 people to attack Chenliu in the north."
"Wei thief Zhang Er and Wei Wuzhi led thousands of people, and they have returned to Linji, mourning for Wei, and taking sour dates."
"Zhao Kou Li Zuoche Department 10,000 soldiers, successively broke through the two lines of defense in Hanoi County, trapped Anyang (Anyang, Henan), Chaoge (Qi County, Henan), and now has approached Xiuwu (Xinxiang, Henan), Hanoi Lieutenant, can only retreat to Huai County, the county capital."
Wang Ben listened with his eyes closed, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he said after a long time: "If I remember correctly, Wei Wuzhi is the grandson of Xinling Jun?" ”
Gan Tang said: "It is the grandson of Wei Wuji, the pseudo-king Wei Bao, who still named him Xinlingjun." ”
"Li Zuoche, who claims to be the grandson of Zhao General Li Mu?"
"Exactly, I just don't know the truth."
Gan Tang promised.
"Plus Xiang Yan's eldest grandson, the Xiang ...... who annihilated more than 40,000 of my people in Huaiyang"
Wang Ben felt the great irony, so he coughed and laughed.
"They are all descendants of my father's old rivals."
This is a group of avengers, a group of Wang's father and son, who failed to kill all the souls!
He sighed: "Wang Ben now understands the situation of Wei Wuji, Li Mu, and Xiang Yan back then!" ”
In the past, Qin used discord to make the King of Wei snub Wei Wuji, and made the King of Zhao kill Li Mu, but now, feng shui takes turns, and it is the turn of the black man to make a plan, so that Feng Qu will be slandered by the villain, and his body will be wiped out, which is really ironic.
No one in the court dared to harm Wang Ben, but what was the difference between the situation he was in and Xiang Yan, who supported the Sheji of Chu alone......
"The north is the enemy."
"The south is the enemy."
"The East is the enemy."
"There are also enemies in the DPRK and China in the West!"
From this incident, Wang Ben has realized that Li Si is unreliable, and he also knows that there will be great traitors and evil people around Hu Hai!
Thanks to their tossing! In the blink of an eye, less than a year has passed, and the four pillars left by Qin Shi Huang seem to be the only one left in Wang Ben......
"How can one hand help the heavens and ......"
"How can one hand help the heavens?"
It's like asking others, and it's like asking yourself, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, has never felt so powerless.
But no matter what, his pillar still has to withstand this Wanjun Mansion!
Because this is not only the country surnamed Ying, but also their Wang father and son, overcoming obstacles and building brick by brick......
"Although Chu, Zhao and Wei seem to be allies, they actually have their own plans."
Struggling to get up again, Wang Ben instructed Gan Tang: "Zhao wants to swallow Hanoi, Wei wants to take all the Dongjun, and Chu, the target is probably Chenggao and Ao Cang!" ”
"The Wei people are cowardly, and they don't have to worry about the dog's ears of the household. But it is necessary to order Shangdang and Hedong to immediately send troops to support Hanoi, Hanoi controls the danger of Chenggao in the south, relies on the solidity of Taihang in the north, and the mountains and rivers in the surface! Chaoge can be lost, but Huaixian must be defended, and Chu and Zhao must not be allowed to join forces! ”
"As for Chenggao's side, Guanzhong was asked to send tens of thousands of new soldiers, but they couldn't defend it, although Xiang Ji was a good soldier, but relying on the strength of the Chu thief family alone, he couldn't defeat Chenggao's dangerous ......"
That's right, Xiang Ji, this is another soldier who impressed the Marquis of Tongwu after Han Xin, who went deep into the lone army and broke Wang Ben's strategy with his own strength!
Wang Ben already knew the detailed process of the battle of Xiangxian and Huaiyang, and was shocked and sighed, this nationality was really a genius who used troops in battle.
As a senior, I really don't know whether to be excited to compete with them, or worry about the front wave not being able to overwhelm the back wave?
But compared with these sharp-edged young people, Wang Ben knows very well that the little yin ratio who was rated as "a general and a general" by Qin Shi Huangdi, who has been accumulating for ten years, and is middle-aged, is the biggest threat to Daqin Sheji!
"What about Hef? Our army has suffered defeats, and this son has always liked to fall into the well, so it is impossible that there is no movement, right? ”
