Cunning and cunning!

This word is specifically used to describe an old man like Fan Zeng, all his calculations are based on the Xiang family and himself.

From the very beginning, the anti-Qin alliance was a loosely disciplined alliance that respected strength, and it only brought everyone together in the name of righteousness.

……

"Good! As the Father had spoken, the army returned to the camp! Xiang Yu ordered loudly and made a decision.

"No."

……

Stopping at the top of the mountain, Xiang Yu looked at the Hangu Pass that was close at hand, and his eyes couldn't help but sharpen.

At this moment, on the Great Wall of Hanguguan, the flags are displayed, the helmets are bright, and the soldiers are densely packed, without the slightest appearance of exhaustion.

Xiang Yu couldn't attack for a long time, and he was already very annoyed. Seeing the Great Wall of Hangu Pass, it suddenly became majestic, as if provoking the Chu army.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but be furious.

……

"Major General, Hangu Pass can't be taken quickly, and you can't act rashly!" Fan Zeng carefully observed for a long time, and couldn't help but persuade Xiang Yu.

"Hey!"

……

It was dusk, and the valley was dark and quiet. Without the sound of Yingtao, no cooking smoke, no neighing of war horses, if it weren't for the big banner that hunted and flew, no one would have thought that this dead and silent valley was the camp of the main force of the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin army in the past were either lying on the grass on the hillside, or leaning on the stone slabs by the mountain stream, quietly closing their eyes, no one looking at anyone, and no one talking.

Those who had the strength to open their eyes only looked at the fiery Yuntian dementia. Wang Ben led the generals and captains through the hillsides, constantly clasping his fists to the soldiers.

Although the soldiers sat up one after another, none of them spoke. Sima of the Chinese army, who accompanied him, did not have the strength to shout, so he only waved a flag with the word "Wang" in his hand all the way, repeatedly signaling that the whole army was gathering towards the school field.

The school field is just an open field in front of the military camp shogunate. When Wang Ben and his party returned to the shogunate, the soldiers had already filled the school field in the dark.

When Wang Ben and his entourage walked onto the central rammed earth platform, the soldiers of the entire school stood up with a clean bang.

"Brothers, sit down! ......" Seeing this scene, Wang Ben suddenly choked up.

"Tong Wuhou, drink a few sips of water, and speak with strength." Zhongjun Sima handed over a water bag.

"No!" Wang Ben pushed away the water bag, stealed the long sword, and stood for a moment to calm down.

"Soldiers, fathers and brothers!" Wang Ben's voice with all his strength floated in the vast twilight: "Right now, there are no soldiers in our army, and there are no reinforcements outside, and we are already in a desperate situation. ”

"If the Jiuyuan army comes to the rescue, the Yin Mountain will be empty, the Huns will move south, and the whole of China will fall into disaster! In that year, the First Emperor destroyed the Six Kingdoms War, and the Jiuyuan army was firmly nailed to Yinshan and did not go south. ”

"Today, Wang Li led an army of 100,000 to the south, and then Ben General led an army of 100,000 to the south, which has accounted for more than 60% of the Jiuyuan army."

"The Jiuyuan army can no longer be divided again, adhering to the lifelong ambition of the first emperor, Wang Ben has a clear conscience!"

"Hooray——! The soldiers, who had no strength to open their eyes, actually roared at the audience.

Wang Ben looked sad and looked at the black army: "As for the Xianyang Imperial Court, it will not send troops to rescue, His Majesty the Emperor is in Hangu Pass." ”

"The survival of Great Qin is already tied to the front line! This line is the Jiuyuan Army, which is you! Only in this way can the Great Qin Empire survive! ”

"Tonight's fifth watch, all departments will advance and retreat into Hangu Pass!"

……

For a while, the entire Qin army camp was silent, and on the rammed earth platform, suddenly, Wang Ben cried loudly.

"When the Qin army fights, don't cry!"

A wounded soldier roared suddenly, holding a wooden stick to support one leg, and raised his voice with a black face: "Old Qin soldiers, who is not after several generations of military service, my clan joined the army, and I am the fourth generation." What's so scary? What is there to cry about? ”

"If a warrior does not die, who is called to die! Tongwu Hou, although he led the whole living soldiers to retreat into Hangu Pass, we waited for the disabled soldiers to be cut off for the army. ”

"That's right! I'll wait until I stop! ”

"Afraid of a bird! I've been dead several times! ”

"Brother Quanhuo guards Hangu Pass, and Daqin depends on you!"

……

In an impassioned shout, Wang Ben stopped crying, stood up, and bowed deeply to the disabled soldiers, and Lin Fengqi and the major commanders also bowed deeply.

At this moment, the valley camp of the Qin army did not have any busy excitement before and after the war, and even the war horses did not neigh, just quietly waited in front of the master, and from time to time they made a gentle snort.

The moon was cold, and the entire valley fell into boundless silence. Only the wind of early winter blows through the mountains and forests, bringing cold to the forest.

In the middle of the night, Wang Ben suddenly sat up, grabbed Tianwen and rushed out of the bedroom.

"Tongwu Hou, only four is a little more, and the fifth watch has not yet arrived!" Seeing Wang Ben suddenly appear, Zhongjun Sima was surprised.

"Order the three armies to retreat immediately and all retreat into Hangu Pass!" Wang Ben hurriedly explained, and he had already left the shogunate and headed in the direction of the wounded soldiers.

"Lin Feng, inform the disabled brothers to retreat first!" In the battle of life and death, the Qin army has always been the first to settle the disabled brothers, and the Qin Feng has been the same for thousands of years.

In any case, Wang Ben will not let the disabled soldier die, otherwise, he will not forgive himself in this life.

……

"Tong Wuhou, the disabled brothers refused to withdraw, saying: If they retreat first, they will all cut themselves!" Lin Feng staggered, and his voice was soft to the ground before he could speak.

Wang Ben shook suddenly, jumped on his horse and flew to the garrison of the disabled army. He has always been aware of a long-standing custom in the military family of the old Qin people.

"Live without humiliation, and die without tiring the army!"

The meritorious generals of the Great Qin Empire, starting from the suicides of Fusu, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi, most of them ended themselves in various ways.

Death does not tire the army, and it is even more common on the battlefield. The Qin people were happy when they heard the war, but the disabled in the country were rare, because of the long-standing custom of not tiring the army by dying.

……

"Soldiers, Ben Ben immediately ordered Lin Feng to lead a team of 1,000 people to escort you and others away!"

A wounded soldier suddenly roared: "Tong Wuhou led the army to retreat into Hangu Pass, don't be distracted by our disabled brothers." We have a way out, don't be escorted by an army! ”

"That's right! Don't escort! ”

In the midst of an impassioned shout, Wang Ben fell silent. The old Qin people originated from the east and fled to the west, and in the long life-and-death struggle in the western grasslands, there were countless desperate battles that were difficult to take into account the wounded soldiers.

So there was a custom of willing suicide to the whole army, not military law, better than military law. This trait, which is rooted in the temperament of the old Qin people, has always been indispensable.
