Chapter 18 Sima Xin kills the envoy, and Zhang Han's surrender is a foregone conclusion.
The south bank of Zhangshui.
A majestic military camp towers, compared with the Qin army camp in Thorn Plain, there is a little less decadence and more arrogance.
The victory in the battle of Julu and the courage to break the cauldron made the soldiers of the Chu army under Xiang Yu reach the peak of their spirit, which is enough to compare with the old Qin army at the time of the first emperor.
This is the transformation brought about by war, and killing is always the fastest and most direct way to change a person.
……
"General, the scouts have news that Liu Ji led a large army to force Nanyang County to surrender, so that he would continue to defend Nanyang, and then attack Wuguan."
"Because the Qin army in Wuguan resisted hard, Liu Ji's subordinate generals Fan Xu and Zhou Bo were angry and slaughtered the city in anger, and at this moment they are holding against the Qin army in Yaoguan!"
……
The news brought by Long Ji made Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's faces change slightly, and they all remembered clearly that when the army went north, King Huai made an appointment with all the princes.
The one who enters the customs first, the king!
Xiang Yu's strength is strong, even if Liu Ji occupies Guanzhong, he can take it with power, but he has always been strong, and he values the glory of this first destruction of Tyrannical Qin.
What's more, the first one to break through the pass, the righteousness is in hand, which is more conducive to Xiang Yu's development. Moreover, he was pinning down the main force of the Qin army in Julu, and Liu Ji picked up a ready-made.
Don't say it's Xiang Yu, who has an irritable personality, even if it's anyone, he won't give up.
……
"Father, Liu Jixiao'er entered the customs first, and our army was stranded in Zhangshui, what do you think?"
At this time, Xiang Yu did not have the later Qiangang dictatorship, and there was no one in his eyes, he knew that Fan Zeng was powerful, otherwise he would not be called his father.
The reason why he is where he is today is because of Fan Zeng's advice, because Xiang Yu has great respect for Fan Zeng.
……
"Major General, now that our army and the princes are short of food and grass, and the continuous wars have caused the soldiers to be tired and the horses to be weak, so it is not suitable to fight for a long time!"
"Now that Zhang Han is cornered, the old man thinks that he will negotiate peace with Zhang Han and force Zhang Han to surrender, so that there is Zhang Han, the important minister of the Jiuqing of the Great Qin Empire."
"All the way to the west, it will be decided, break the letter valley pass, and go straight to Xianyang."
……
Fan Zeng's wisdom is shocking, definitely no less than Zhang Liang, and even because of his age, Fan Zeng is far sharper than Zhang Liang at the moment, this remark is the best solution at the moment.
"What Ya Father said is very true, according to this law, it is good for Zhang Han to surrender, otherwise the army will be destroyed!"
Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he turned towards Fan Zeng and said, "Father, who should be sent to the person who said to surrender?" ”
Facing Xiang Yu's gaze, Fan Zeng stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Young general, don't worry, the old man has ordered Chen Yu to go, and I will wait for the result." ”
……
"General......
Zhang Han's eyes swept over a touch of depth, glanced at Chen Yu, and said leisurely: "Mr. is here for a while, and the old man will come when he goes!" ”
"General, please!"
Arching his hand, the corners of Chen Yu's mouth hooked up a smile, and from the change in Zhang Han's tone, he had a little more confidence in saying that Zhang Han would descend.
Zhang Han did not kill him, nor did he expel him, which shows that things are promising!
Watching Zhang Han leave in a hurry, Chen Yu guessed what was happening in his heart.
……
"What?"
Standing outside the tent, Zhang Han's eyes were cold, he knew that Sima Xin was looking for him at this time, and something big must have happened.
"General, the scout has news that Liu Ji's army has broken through Wuguan, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city have slaughtered it, and now the army is approaching Yaoguan, pointing at Xianyang ......"
……
"Boom!"
Zhang Han's heart jumped loudly, his face suddenly turned pale, and for a while, he was staggering and unstable, Sima Xin rushed forward with an arrow and supported Zhang Han.
Zhang Han was shocked and couldn't help himself, which made Sima Xin and others deeply shocked, this outstanding person who in their opinion Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change his color, and he was so eager to attack his heart when he heard that Wuguan was broken.
It can be seen that he is loyal to the Great Qin Empire!
……
"Changshi, guard the camp, the old man wants to meet Chen Yu!"
"Yes."
……
Sima Xin was overjoyed, because of his old relationship with the Xiang family, he naturally wanted Zhang Han to surrender to Xiang Yu, but he also knew that the fate of the 200,000 prisoner army could only be decided by Zhang Han.
"Changshi, the Xianyang envoy has arrived and wants to meet the general!"
Hearing this, Sima Xin's face changed, he took a deep look at the big tent, turned his head, and said, "The general has something important, bring him to see the general." ”
"Yes."
……
"Jing Dong, the envoy of the golden order, has seen a long history, I don't know where General Zhang Han is, Your Majesty has a decree to convey!"
……
"The general is dealing with military affairs, and the matter is urgent, and the Great Qin Empire is in danger, the envoy can report this history first, and the old man will convey it on his behalf."
Jingdong did not doubt him, and hurriedly turned to Sima Xin and said, "Changshi, Your Majesty has an order to abandon the Kanto Prefecture and immediately lead the army back to Hangu Pass." ”
Sima Xin's heart was shocked, he took a deep look at Jingdong, and said in a deep voice: "The old man knows, the messenger will go down to rest first, and the old man will report to the general!" ”
"It's hard work!"
Sima Xin made a gesture to wipe his neck towards the guards the moment Jingdong turned around, and now Zhang Han's surrender attitude was obvious, and he didn't want anyone to interrupt.
After all, what Xiang Yu promised, Qin II couldn't give it!
……
"Sir, please give Xiang Yudai a letter, the old man wants to talk to him personally!"
Returning to the big tent, Zhang Han did not take it step by step, but directly gave the bottom line, he killed Xiang Liang in Dingtao, and Xiang Yu had a grudge against his uncle.
It is a matter of net worth and life, Zhang Han has to be cautious!
"General, take your leave!"
As a celebrity, Chen Yu's observation of words and colors has reached the peak, he knows the worries and considerations in Zhang Han's heart, without Xiang Yu, he can't talk about it at all.
……
"General, just now the envoy from Xianyang arrived, ordering the general to abandon the Kanto lands and return to Hangu Pass......"
Sima Xin knew that anything that happened in the camp could not be hidden from Zhang Han, and it was better to report it directly than to be discovered.
His eyelids were raised slightly, Zhang Han hid a trace of fatigue in his eyes, he was born and died for Daqin, and regarded Daqin as his faith, but now that his faith has collapsed, he wants to betray his faith.
The bitterness in my heart is insignificant to outsiders!
"Oh, what about the messenger?"
Sima Xin bowed solemnly and was silent for a long time before he turned to Zhang Han and said, "General, the envoy was killed by the last general!" ”
"That's it! That's it! ”
Waving his hand, Zhang Han said, "The old man knows, you go down, I'll be alone for a while!" ”
The Wuguan has been broken, and the door in the Great Qin Empire Pass is wide open, even if he leads the army back to the Guguan Pass, let's not talk about whether he can get rid of Xiang Yu.
By the time the army returned to the division, Liu Ji would probably have already broken through Xianyang and changed the dynasty.
As the Shaofu of the Qin State, Zhang Han knows how many soldiers and horses there are in Xianyang, and there are no generals available to compete with Liu Ji and others!
The once invincible empire, in just three years, has come to an end, and the beauty is twilight.
This made Zhang Han, who has always been proud of his identity as an old Qin person, full of melancholy and desolation in his heart.
