Chapter 145: The Soldier Ran Away
Seeing Sima Xin in the queue being escorted, Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief! The depression in my heart dissipated, and I was refreshed, as if I had changed a person.
After 200,000 Qin soldiers were buried by Xiang Yu's pit, Zhang Han felt guilty in his heart, feeling that his wrong decision had harmed 200,000 Qin soldiers.
The heavy burden weighed down Zhang Han's breath, and he often reproduced the scene of his soldiers being buried in a pit in his dreams. It has always been Zhang Han's heart disease and he can't untie the knot.
Seeing the guilt and the culprit arrested, the heavy burden in my heart was suddenly lifted, and I felt relaxed and comfortable.
Zhang Han asked, "Sima Xin, Ben will ask you one thing, have you been in contact with Xiang Yu for a long time?" ”
Shame!
This is not a good question, Sima Xin is the benefactor of the Xiang family, and no one in the world knows.
"I've had a relationship."
Sima Xin couldn't ignore it, after all, everyone knew about saving Xiang Liang, and he couldn't deny it, so he could only admit it.
"In the army, you often pass on the intelligence of the army to Xiang Yu, there is such a thing!"
I can't agree to kill Sima Xin, if I really agree, can I still live?
"Nope!"
"Whether you admit it or not, in three days, you will go to the place where the twenty Qin soldiers are buried, and cut off your heads to pay tribute to the two hundred thousand Qin soldiers."
"General Zhang, the burial of 200,000 soldiers of the Qin Army is Xiang Yu, what does it have to do with me? What's more, if the Qin army doesn't kill the prisoners, does General Zhang want to disobey the Qin army's orders privately? ”
Hehe!
"Sima Xin, Ben will tell you that the general has agreed to Ben General's request, and when he catches you, he will behead you in the place where the Qin soldiers are buried and worship the souls of 200,000 Qin soldiers."
Yes!
Sima Xin knew in his heart that Qin Jun would not let him go, but he still had a trace of extravagant hope, hoping to survive through quibbles.
You must know that Sima Xin in history was beheaded twice by Liu Bang, and after the first beheading, Sima Xin's figure appeared in other places a few years later, and Liu Bang ordered to be killed again. If you think about it, you know that Sima Xin's ability to escape is really good.
Sima Wei asked cautiously: "General Zhang, this king has no enmity with the Qin army, how will he deal with this king?" ”
Hehe!
"Sima Wei, you are really a little stupid, you knew that the Qin army would not harm the princes who surrendered on their own initiative, why didn't you arrest Sima Xin, so that you could make a contribution, but you had to run away with Sima Xin.
Now? I don't know how to deal with your situation, so I will be escorted back to Xianyang and subject to the trial of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department will release you if you are not guilty, and serve if you are guilty, and I will not have the right to deal with you. ”
Sima Xin and Sima Wei suddenly heard that the Qin army had broken the city wall, and they immediately understood that Chaoge could no longer defend it, so they ran away as soon as possible.
Sima Xin's plan was also good, and he arranged for some soldiers to disguise themselves as Sima Wei and Sima Xin and escape from the south city gate. Sima Xin and Sima Wei escaped from the East City Gate with their guards, which was originally a perfect strategy, but unfortunately they ran into Chen Ping and were recognized.
There is also the arrangement for the soldiers to escape to the south gate, but before they can escape from the city, the soldiers dressed as Sima Xin and Sima Wei thought in their hearts, their home is in Chaoge City, where can they run to!
After thinking about it, several soldiers who escaped from the south city gate directly took the initiative to surrender to the Qin army, and told the Qin army the direction in which Sima Xin and Sima Wei had fled. Although it didn't work, from another point of view, Sima Xin and Sima Wei were really unpopular.
Sima Wei regretted it in his heart!
It would be better to make a decision early and not accept Sima Xin. Looking at the princes who counter-judged, none of them who surrendered voluntarily were held responsible, and they were all well settled. Although he lost his rights, he could have a place to retire.
The next thing was much simpler, taking over the prisoners, sealing the treasury, raiding Sima Wei and Sima Xin's homes, confiscating property, opening granaries to relieve the people, and setting up government agencies at the township and village levels, and all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.
For the 100,000 prisoners, Ye Tong had already given instructions to release the travel expenses and let the soldiers go home to live a good life. In fact, many people were forced to join the army, not that they were willing to rebel.
Chen Ping suggested that Zhang Han immediately send a large army to escort civilian officials to various localities to take up their posts, take over local governments, and set up township and village government agencies.
The sooner the takeover is made, the more property the Qin army will be able to seize after sealing the treasury, and the further back it will be, only God knows how much property will be left in the treasury.
Three days later, Zhang Han was dressed in linen and filial piety, and led some soldiers and horses to the place where 200,000 Qin soldiers were buried, beheaded Sima Xin, and paid tribute to the souls of 200,000 Qin soldiers.
During the memorial process, Zhang Han burst into tears, and kept kowtowing to apologize in the place where the soldiers were buried.
Half a month later, the Chaoge region was completely controlled by the Qin Empire, and Zhang Han was ready to lead his troops and horses north to join Ye Tong's army. However, Chen Ping suggested going south to join General Mulan.
Chen Ping told Zhang Han that Hua Mulan had 50,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, and in the face of the pressure of the Han army and the Chu army, the difference in strength was too great and reinforcements were needed.
Zhang Han reported to Gao Yetong with Xinying for the sake of caution that Ye Tong's order was to go south, join forces with Mulan, and obey General Mulan's dispatch.
-------------------
Besides, Ye Tong's army, from Changshan City directly to Dai County, took over countless cities along the way, and it did take a lot of time. But there is no way, like other princes, who ignore the sufferings of the people and have to help the people!
More than 20 days later, Ye Tong's army arrived in Dai County under the leadership of Mu Guiying. This is already a remote area of the Central Plains, and it is often invaded by the Hun iron cavalry on the grassland.
The upper valley under the jurisdiction of Daijun is an important border town, and it must be garrisoned by soldiers and horses. However, Ye Tong believed that no matter how bold he was in a short period of time, he would not dare to easily ruthless the Central Plains border pass.
The problem faced by Mao Dun, who lost his troops and generals, was to increase his strength, and once his strength fell again, the king of the grassland would have to change his master.
The grassland people are like that, whoever is strong will speak and count, and they will fight until they are satisfied. It is the real law of the jungle, no one will sympathize with the weak, only respect the strong, and the strong live.
Mu Guiying saw that the city wall was heavily defended and stubbornly defended, and asked Ye Tong if he was attacking?
Ye Tong smiled and said: "First use catapults and ballistas to fire two salvos, and deter Zhao Xie fiercely, so that Zhao Xie can see the situation clearly, and stop making useless resistance." ”
Mu Guiying, who got the order, immediately ordered, hundreds of catapults, ballistas, and ballistas were put out and pulled to about 300 meters in front of the Daijun city wall.
Mu Guiying roared: "Fire!" Two rounds of salvos! ”
Thundered! Thundered!
Countless stones smashed into the city wall of Daijun, and the sharp arrows fired from the ballista and crossbow bed pierced the city wall. Because Ye Tong ordered not to greet the soldiers defending the city, the crossbow arrows could only shoot at the city wall.
The catapult could not ensure that the soldiers on the city wall would not be harmed, and the large stones smashed on the side of the city wall, and some small stones smashed directly on the city wall, which frightened the soldiers who were originally standing on the city wall to watch the excitement, and they avoided one after another.
Shock!
The soldiers defending the city on the city walls were dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, and they couldn't close them for a long time. I was terrified, what kind of toy was this, too scary, too powerful!
Zhao Xie stood on the city wall, originally wanted to resist for a while, and then open the city gate to surrender at the right time, so that Ye Tong could see the bravery of the soldiers of Daijun, so that he could get good treatment after surrendering.
The problem is that the firepower of the Qin army is too strong, and it can't do it!
The Qin army hadn't really shot yet, but only two rounds of vigilant shooting, and the soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that they cried and cried and desperately fled under the city wall.
Demoralized and demoralized, it is no wonder that such a soldier can defend the city.
Seeing that the deterrent effect was good, Ye Tong patted his horse out of the military formation and shouted loudly at the city wall: "Zhao Xie, do you want to continue to make useless resistance?" When the heavenly soldiers arrived, if they didn't hurry up and open the city gate to surrender, how long would they have to wait? If he does not surrender, General Ben will no longer accept surrender. ”
What!
If you don't accept surrender, it's not to die!
The soldiers on the city wall were terrified at once, and the order given by Zhao Xie was to resist for a few days, and then open the city gate and surrender. It is said that it is for the sake of the soldiers to fight for benefits.
The Grim Reaper said that if you don't surrender, you have to refuse to surrender, that's not really a game, that's not good, you have to surrender quickly. When many soldiers heard Ye Tong's words, in front of Zhao Xie, they dropped their weapons and flashed directly. It means Zhao Xie, if you want to resist the Qin army, resist yourself!
On the city wall, I saw that some soldiers dropped their weapons and flashed people, and immediately followed suit, dropped their weapons one after another, flashed down the city wall, and took off their clothes and armor along the way, and threw them on the ground casually, completely breaking away from the identity of soldiers.
Zhao Xie's mind was blank, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet. When he came back to his senses, he found that there were not many of the original soldiers on the city wall.
The soldiers who were still on the city wall didn't want to leave, but they were worried that Zhao Xie would harm him and implicate his family. That's why I stayed for the time being.
Daijun is a border area, and the soldiers are thunderous about the name of death, and their hearts are happy! The border areas were often invaded by the Xiongnu iron cavalry, and the people suffered more.
When you hear that death is coming to take over the place, don't say that the people welcome it, the soldiers welcome it too. Under the leadership of a general who can fight, the border areas are no longer harassed by the Huns' iron cavalry, which is what the people are willing to see, and it is also what the soldiers are most willing to do.
There is really no way, the name of the god of death is too loud, and the Huns on the grassland will tremble when they mention the god of death. In several battles, nearly one million Hun iron cavalry were annihilated, what kind of record was that. The Huns were beaten by death and were powerless, and they were terrified.
Children on the grassland cry, and adults say that death is coming. The child immediately stopped crying, and you can imagine how terrifying the deterrent power of the name of death is.
Mu Guiying next to him grinned and said: "General, you are really a bull, just a few words will make the soldiers on the city wall drop their weapons and flash people directly, does Zhao Xie dare to resist to the end now?" ”
Hehe!
"See, what kind of king hasn't come back to his senses yet, and is sleepwalking?"
Poof!
Mu Guiyingjiao laughed, glared at Ye Tong, and then said, "That Zhao Wang Ye was scared stupid, okay, what sleepwalking." ”
Zhao Xie, who came back to his senses, sighed and shouted: "Open the city gate and surrender to the Qin army!" ”
The applause was thunderous, and all of a sudden, the soldiers defending the city on the city wall applauded Zhao Xie's wise decision, which made Zhao Xie's old face red and ashamed.
