Chapter 357: General Zhang Qiu's Strategy (First Update)
Xiang Yu is an impulsive person, but absolutely rational on the battlefield.
He knew very well that it was not suitable to storm Xiangcheng at this time. After all, Han Wangcheng is dead, and the new Han Wangxin ascended the throne in a hurry and does not have much influence in the country.
In this way, under the pressure of the 100,000-strong army of Western Chu and Han, South Korea does not have much room for refutation.
In addition to surrendering, the city can only be destroyed!
For this point, Xiang Yu is absolutely sure, Han Wangxin will definitely make his own decision. After all, a throne is never more moving alive.
β¦β¦
Xiang Yu led his troops to the city, and the Korean general Zhang Qiu couldn't sit still. He naturally knew that after Xichu seized Wuyang and Kunyang in South Korea, Xiangcheng actually became an isolated island floating in Yingchuan County.
Now that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is in the city, the Korean court has no extra choice.
Either surrender or retreat to the old capital Xinzheng! Other than that, there is no other way.
The situation was so precipitous, General Zhang Qiu naturally couldn't calm down as usual, because he knew that with 30,000 defenders, it was absolutely impossible to be stationed in Xiangcheng steadily.
The moon and stars were scarce, and the night passed suddenly, and Zhang Qiu frowned for a while, but he couldn't think of a way to get rid of it.
Because Han Wangcheng was killed, Situ Zhangliang disappeared, so General Zhang Qiu became a pillar of South Korea, and he is also the most eye-catching figure in Korean civil and military at this moment.
He knew in his heart that the gate of Yingchuan County had been opened by the Chu army, and among the seventeen pass cities in Yingchuan County, Xiangcheng did not have much grain in stock, and if the transportation was cut off, it would collapse in less than a month.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Zhang Qiu is so confused. After all, the life and death of South Korea is directly related to his rise and fall.
Just when Zhang Qiu was puzzled, the envoy of the Chu army came at the same time, which completely made Zhang Qiu panic.
He knew very well that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was different from Emperor Hu Hai of Qin, and if Emperor Hu Hai of Qin came to attack Korea, he could also ally with other countries to contend with him.
At the worst, for the sake of fame, it is impossible for Hu Hai to massacre the city and kill people on a large scale. But Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is a variable, after all, Xiang Yu slaughtered the city with one blow.
At the beginning of Xin'an, the 200,000 convict army said that they would be killed in a pit. Xiang Yu, who is so cold-blooded, will definitely not give them a way to live.
"Heyββ!"
"General, the envoy of Western Chu brought the will of King Xiang, demanding that Korea surrender Kaesong and be incorporated into Western Chu from now on" There was a trace ......of gloom in the eyes of the old man, and it was obvious that he had lost confidence in Korea.
"Prepare, the old man is going to see the king!" After being silent for a long time, General Zhang Qiu waved his hand and said, "Be fast, and at the same time drag the envoy of the Chu army." β
"Yui!" Nodding in agreement, the old man turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Watching the old man leave, Zhang Qiu's face changed greatly. He was naturally able to hear the toughness of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, from the words of the envoy of the Chu army.
Therefore, he had to speed up. Otherwise, with the ability of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, to use troops has not yet been deployed, Xiangcheng is afraid that it will be broken.
"Old minister, meet the king!" Coming to the top of the main hall, Zhang Qiu's expression was complicated, and he bowed deeply to Han Wangxin.
Regarding the situation outside the city, Han Wangxin naturally did not know, so seeing Zhang Qiu's arrival was like grasping a life-saving straw in drowning.
The whole person became pleasantly surprised, and he expected Zhang Qiu to have the power to break the siege. Otherwise, he had just ascended to the throne of the long-coveted King of Han, and he would immediately become the king of the dead country.
"The public has a plan, and this king listens to you." As soon as Han Wangxin saw the general Zhang Qiu, he knew what he meant, and frowned sadly.
At this time, he had no way at all, and there was nothing he could do. After all, he had just ascended the throne and became king, and his control over South Korea was close to zero.
So far, he can only rely on General Zhang Qiu. After all, he still has a certain understanding of Zhang Qiu's reputation and ability.
"Enlighten my king." At this moment, General Zhang Qiu did not hesitate, and directly faced Han Wangxin, saying: "The poor state does not live in strange goods, and Xiangcheng is not guarded, so it should be taken at the right time." β
This is Zhang Qiusi has come to find a way out, he knows in his heart that in the face of the 100,000 army of the Chu army, it is impossible to stay for a long time if he holds on to it.
After all, this time it was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who led the army this time and whose reputation shook the entire Central Plains and single-handedly suppressed the kingdom of the world.
In this era, no one dares to speak out and grasp the victory over Xiang Yu, and he can't. Therefore, in this desperate situation, there is only another way out.
Hearing this, Han Wangxin's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Dare to ask the general, how to make a move?" β
At this moment, Han Wang had a not very mature idea in his confidence. But he didn't say it directly, but chose to ask Zhang Qiu.
Although Han Wangxin had not been on the throne for a long time, he had not mastered much of the art of the emperor.
Glancing at Han Wangxin, Zhang Qiu's reaction to Han Xin at this moment was also extremely strange. is worthy of being born in the royal family, and has a natural sensitivity to power.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Qiu paused word by word and said, "Right now, the two cities of Wuyang and Kunyang have been broken. The army of Western Chu has already approached the city. β
"The old minister did not hide it from the king, against Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, besides, our army only had 30,000 defenders, and the 100,000 troops of Western Chu were all elites who followed King Xiang to fight in the south and in the north. The old minister was not the slightest sure. β
"Besides, it is a winter famine right now, and the grain and grass reserves in Xiangcheng are insufficient, if you continue to hold on, you will hold on for two months at most, and after two months, the army and the people of Shangdang will be chaotic."
"If the Western Chuqi soldiers raid, the rebel army will not be able to respond. If Xiangcheng returns to Western Chu, South Korea will be in danger! Now that my country is a county, there is no way to retreat. β
"What Lao Chen means is that if he allies with the Great Qin Empire and discloses the fact of Emperor Qin's canonization, in this way, Qin II Hu Hai will feel the feelings of Korea."
"Western Chu also wants to gain Korea for a long time, and so does the Great Qin Empire. Once our country completely falls to the Great Qin Empire, at that time, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, will seize Korea and attack the Great Qin Empire. β
"Qin and Chu will fight and will be pro-Han, so the alliance between Qin and Han is solid, as long as the Qin and Han families are concentric, they can resist Chu in an invincible position!"
"In the same way, if the siege of Korea is brought in this way, the siege of Korea will be immediately lifted."
General Zhang Qiu's solemn words made King Han's confidence boil, and he fell silent again.
After all, he also knew that for Qin Emperor Hu Hai, Korea was too weak. He didn't dare to guarantee that the Great Qin Empire would face off against Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, for the sake of Yingchuan County.
"Hey-" King Han Nobunaga exclaimed for a long time, "The general is very scheming, but it is not easy to join forces with Qin II Hu Hai!" β
"There is not enough price for each other's alliances, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to impress Qin II Hu Hai."
