Chapter 68: The Teacher's Will
Han Xin's leisurely gave Yuan Chen a puzzlement, but now Yuan Chen seemed to be testing Han Xin with his soldiers, as if Han Xin didn't take the Western Chu army in his eyes at all.
"You're not afraid of being hunted down?"
"Who? Are you talking about the pursuers of the Western Chu faction? ”
The soldier replied: "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, of course I'm not afraid, how can you chase me Han Xin"
Han Xin's words were very firm, but at this moment the soldier asked again: "If there are really pursuers, what should you do?" ”
"I have 100,000 troops in hand, and I have already laid an ambush, just wait for the Xichu chasing troops to arrive, it's okay if you don't arrive, wait to destroy him when you arrive" After Han Xin's words, I saw Yuan Chen and his soldiers stunned, it seemed that Yuan Chen felt that Han Xin was talking crazy at the moment, but seeing Han Xin so calm, it didn't seem like crazy words, staring at Yuan Chen, disguised, but Han Xin felt familiar: "We seem to have met?" ”
"How come, you and I don't know each other" Yuan Chen's voice, Han Xin confirmed his identity, but then Han Xin pretended to be stupid, and said: "It doesn't matter, now I will wait for the Western Chu army to come, and the annihilation of the whole army is the result I want most now"
At this time, Yuan Chen turned around and returned to the camp with his soldiers, it seemed that Yuan Chen was very dissatisfied with Han Xin's attitude, he felt that Han Xin was teasing him, so he mobilized the army as quickly as possible, and sent the left general Bian Baiqi and the right general Ling Congxi to attack from two directions.
At this time, the path of the army is divided into 40,000 in the middle, 30,000 on the left and right, the army is approaching, only to see the front is like a forest fire, there is smoke, and then there are faint soldiers appearing, seeing that there is a square army in front, and the left and right armies do not dare to rush forward.
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that Han Xin really mobilized 100,000 troops to line up at the front? Yuan Chen was puzzled.
The left general Bian Baiqi saw that the middle road stopped walking, so he also stopped, and then the right side ordered Congxi's 30,000 troops to stop their footsteps, and each way sent archers to shoot forward, in the woods, due to the fog, the arrow feathers shot in the direction, but saw that the soldiers did not fall, so the Chinese army sent thousands of people to climb into the forest, only to see a wooden stake wrapped in clothes, pretending to be a real person in the chaos, and the guards who checked were all laughing, thinking that Han Xin was playing tricks, but he didn't know that there were real people who killed from the stakes, and none of the soldiers were spared.
"How?" Yuan Chen was surprised, and then sent his soldiers up, but he still didn't return.
"Why do the soldiers go up and never return? What kind of troops does Han Shin use here? Shoot and shoot and can't die, send soldiers and don't come back, is it a ghost soldier? Yuan Chen was puzzled, and then stood still, wondering what was going on, but he didn't know that Han Xin's soldiers used the arrows that Yuan Chen shot to shoot down, and let the army reduce the number of people, so Yuan Chen retreated the soldiers again, and then let the archers continue to shoot arrows into it.
The sound of "呑" quickly moved forward with the resistance of the wind, and then some people in the army suggested not to shoot arrows rashly, but the pride in Yuan Chen's heart rose again, and he did not listen to anyone's dissuasion and questioned archery.
From noon to dusk, there was almost no chance of victory, and then, I saw Chen Chi in the Western Chu army slack, led a commando team in the rear of the army to set fire, because it was in the forest, so the fire quickly expanded, with the assistance of various fire-starting equipment, the army quickly fled, and the main army of Han Xin who counterattacked was to shoot with bows and arrows again, resulting in Yuan Chen's army losing troops and losing generals, and 100,000 troops were defeated to 30,000.
30,000 soldiers fled all the way east, only to see Han Xin's 2,000 cavalry chasing the deserters, seeing that the number was not much, Yuan Chen commanded the army to make a big counterattack, but he didn't know that the 2,000 cavalry was obviously defeated, so he retreated.
Yuan Chen caught a fellow on the side of the road and asked about the situation on the mountain, and the villager told Yuan Chen that in fact, there were only 5,000 soldiers on the mountain, and he had seen it with his own eyes.
Yuan Chen knew that he had lost a lot of soldiers, and it seemed that he was a little sorry for his reputation if he didn't kill Han Xin, so Yuan Chen decided to take a detour.
The trail was crooked, but it was indeed behind Han Xin's army, intending to outflank, at this time Yuan Chen asked the fellow: "You have made a great contribution, what is the name of the fellow, he will definitely have a reward for you one day"
The villager replied: "The small one is named Shiwu, and he is a hunter in the mountains, by the way, the small one's home is in Zhengwudang County, and he will remember the small one when he is young."
"Go, it's none of your business" After Yuan Chen's words, a soldier gave Shi Wu money, and then Shi Wu walked to the back of the mountain and sent a fireworks signal to the sky, and at this time, Yuan Chen stared at the wooden stakes, and then a bad feeling appeared.
"A few days ago, it seemed to have rained heavily," Yuan Chen muttered to himself, and then his nose smelled the smell of dampness: "Will there be flash floods in this mountain?" ”
Yuan Chen had fought before, and he had heard that especially in such mountains and forests, especially in the rainy summer season, flash floods were prone to erupt, but now, Yuan Chen's judgment seemed to be a little late.
"Ahh Run, the torrent is coming" The soldiers fled one after another, but unfortunately it was too late, this time the torrent Chu army lost nearly 1,000 people, but it was not a coincidence that the commander Yuan Chen died in the torrent, and the left and right deputy generals with the defeated 20,000 soldiers waved the division in embarrassment.
Han Xin's big victory, but there doesn't seem to be anything to be happy about, because in Han Xin's heart, killing people is ruining the soul, and there is nothing to be happy about: "In the face of reality, we are all losers, because victory is stepping on the corpses of ordinary people's children, as the so-called success will make ten thousand bones wither"
Han Xin turned around and couldn't hold back a little tears, but Han Xin knew that if the world needed peace, necessary sacrifices were inevitable.
Right now, Xiang Yu must be very unhappy about Fan Zeng's private dispatch of troops and his defeat, and Xiang Yu must be very unhappy, one after another, the soldiers of Xichu can no longer afford to consume, and now the situation is even worse, and Fan Zeng is even more wrong.
Bian Baiqi and Ling Congxi both knelt on the ground, Xiang Yu had their backs to the two, and Fan Zeng bowed his head and was silent.
"Someone's coming"
"In!"
"Drag the two out and cut them, and cut Yuan Chen all over the house" After Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zeng hurriedly admonished, but Xiang Yu insisted on this, but Fan Zeng said: "The old man sent it, if you want to cut it, cut the old man first!" ”
"Father! You...... Hey" Xiang Yu was full of displeasure, and then Xiang Yu told the two to get out of the way, so the two left in a hurry.
At this time, Fan Zeng said: "Yu'er, Han Xin is a big trouble, if you don't get rid of it, you can't do it."
"Father, you are so sloppy, you were okay before, and now Han Xin has made another meritorious service, so will Liu Bang reuse him?" After Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zeng understood that his Yu'er had already planned in his heart, and he was not reckless in accommodating Han's trust.
And now, it is tantamount to Fan Zeng's self-defeating, and in this way, all of Xiang Yu's plans have been destroyed.
"Hongmen banquet I let Liu Bang go, with three Qin to restrain it, in fact, I want to let dogs and dogs fight, I take the benefits of the fisherman, and I split the Central Plains, annexed one by one, I play the banner of righteousness, the reason is because Yu'er has slaughtered the city many times, the support of the people of the Central Plains for me has been almost zero, between the princes, I need to establish prestige, with righteousness to create heaven and earth, and now, Ya Father, you let Yu'er have no thin face, not to mention this, the key to the problem is to lose the army, or did not achieve the goal, so the father thinks, is it meaningful?" Xiang Yu's words are full of great wisdom, not that Xiang Yu has courage or strategy, but real foresight, and it is no wonder that Xiang Liang handed over the position to Xiang Yu after his death, not Xiang Bo or Xiang Zhuang.
In fact, in our opinion, Xiang Yu is just a fool with five big and three rough, brave and unscrupulous, but let's think about it, if Xiang Yu is really just the courage of a horseman, how can he be deeply loved by the children of Jiangdong? How to deter other countries, and how to govern Pengcheng on a large scale, while half of the world supports him? Therefore, the reason why Xiang Yu was able to firmly control the Great Chu Army was more because his heart was full of foresight, which is why Xiang Yu, who had been a child, wanted to replace Qin Shi Huang, and his heart was full of wisdom and bravery.
Fan Zeng knew that Xiang Yu was unwilling to punish him, so Fan Zeng degraded himself by a few levels, in order to make Xiang Yu powerful in the army.
"Father should think about it, the world is righteous, don't be impulsive"
Although Fan Zeng was degraded at this time, but hearing Xiang Yu's mature words and inner maturity, Fan Zeng felt that it was worth being degraded, because his son's growth was priceless and worthwhile!
The peach blossoms fell three feet and went west along the river, not knowing the peak and the turn, bringing Han Shuai and 5,000 soldiers to the land of Nanyue.
At this time, a majestic armor appeared, and suddenly, Han Xin and his soldiers were shocked by the male soldiers in front of them.
"Catch them all" Of course, all of them at this time are actually only Han Xin, Chen Chi and a dozen or so scouts.
And the soldiers dressed in black Qin costumes were all strong, which made Han Xin full of curiosity.
Following the footsteps of the Great Qin soldiers, Han Xin and the others came to a simple tree palace, and here, it was full of Qin soldiers, and some ethnic minority families were busy with farm work on the roadside.
Chen Chi accompanied the flexible soldiers to inquire, and only then did he understand that at this time, Han Xin's troops had arrived in Nanyue, and the leader here was Ren Huan.
"Renhuo? When he led the army of Qin 600,000, and the people of Qin were more than 500,000 in the south, why did they not prevent the destruction of Qin and waved the army north, and now we actually came to Nanyue by chance, is this the will of heaven? Do you want the old Qin people to destroy me Han Xin? No, if it's providence, I Han Xin's fate shouldn't be broken, gamble once"
The words were pondering, and at this time, where Han Xin was kneeling, Ren Huan appeared.
"Who are you kneeling down on?"
"Huaiyin Hanxin"
"You're Han Shin?" It seems that Ren Huan knows Han Xin, whether he is alive or dead at this moment, Han Xin is confused, he doesn't know how to understand Ren Huan's meaning, whether it is good or bad, whether to kill himself or what, and the solution to all problems lies in Ren Huan's actions after that.
A guard arrived with a letter, and then Ren Huan looked at the letter, and then asked the guard to hand the letter to Han Xin for a look.
Don't say much else, let's take a look at the payment first, the name is Wei Yuzi.
"Master" Han Xin couldn't help shouting, and Ren Huan smiled slightly, the difference between the two sides was thirty-seven years old, and it seemed that there was a resonance suddenly, so Han Xin looked at Master's letter carefully.
"General Ren, my disciple Han Xin is righteous by nature, and rich in some of the strategies taught below, when he started the army, not for anything else, just to save the common people from fire and water, if one day, fortunate enough to meet the general, or the general's descendants, please hope to see the thin face of the Zhizi, to help the apprentice Huaiyin Han Xin, Wei Xuanzi worshipped" Wei Xuanzi's letter has been very clear.
Suddenly, Han Xin's heart was full of gratitude: "Master"
"Ling Shi's life is bright and upright, especially his so-called, there are two different types of war, against the unjust war of killing people and goods, and supporting the just war of punishing riots and prohibiting injustice, and all soldiers, do not attack the city of injustice, do not kill the innocent, the father and brother of the husband and the murderer, the goods and property of the people, and the children of the concubines, all of them are stolen and commented, Ren Huan remembered it in his heart, and the same is true for governing the South Yue country" Ren Huan's eyes were full of admiration.
