Chapter 63: The Grievances of the Han Army (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation.) )
"Wentong thinks that the hanging sheep drumming can hide Xiao He and Cao Shen and others?"
Chu Prince Xiang Tian's words were very straightforward, without the slightest beating, he not only tested Li Wentong's talent again, but also to further determine Li Wentong's identity.
The people who know the allusions to the hanging sheep drumming are not ordinary people, and such people have a certain background.
"Because Xianyang and Zhiyang are not more than a hundred miles together, and because the prince is in Zhiyang, the Han army scouts dare not approach at all, so they can't get accurate information at all."
Li Wentong was a smart man, his answer was ambiguous, and he didn't give Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, an accurate answer at all.
Because he knew in his heart that a tyrant in troubled times like Prince Chu would be slashed and axed if he disagreed. Li Wentong survived in the troubled times, and he didn't want to die so early.
……
"The minister thinks that Han Prime Minister Xiao He and Cao Shen may not be able to see through the hanging sheep and drumming, even if they do, the only thing the Han army wants to do now is to guard Xianyang."
"As long as it is not on the verge of life and death, Cao Shen Xiao He will definitely not make an easy move, but once our army bypasses Xianyang, the Han army will inevitably pursue the prince."
……
"Hmm."
The meaning of Li Wen's call, Xiang Tian was clear, he understood that the Han army could not shrink now, and made an attitude of defending Xianyang with all his might.
That's because the Chu army posed a big enough threat to Xianyang, the center of the Han army, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others were trapped in Xianyang, and they were afraid of the tail because Xianyang City was the foundation of the Han State.
As long as the threat of Xianyang is lifted, the Han army cowering in the city will surely launch a frenzied retaliation. Cao Shen will definitely turn into a tiger and hunt down the Chu army.
……
"In this case, dig Jing in Zhongshan and flood the pass, and then go north along the straight road to Jiuyuan."
After a long time, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, finally had a countermeasure in his heart, that is, to go north along the straight road, and the first emperor built a straight road in order to use troops abroad.
From Xianyang, all the way to Jiuyuan, the road is flat, there is no steep valley, the lonely peak becomes a ridge, once the Chu army steps on the straight road, even if the Han soldiers want to pursue, there is nothing they can do.
……
With Li Wentong's order, several strong rams hung on the drum surface, and as long as the ram moved, the hind hooves would touch the drum surface, making a deafening drum sound.
"Prince, everything is ready, the Han army scouts have been cleared by our rangers, the army is ready to go, as long as the prince gives an order, he will be able to evacuate quickly."
……
"Move the drum surface first, now is not the best time for the army to evacuate, wait until it gets dark, and then retreat at the third watch."
"No."
The retreat of the Chu army was to go north to attack Zhongshan, hanging sheep and beating drums, in order to confuse the ears and eyes of the Han army, and because of this, Xiang Tian was calculating.
He wanted to capture Zhongshan at the lowest cost, and then with the strength of the army, he forcibly broke the embankment and released the water, leading the water to flood Guanzhong, so that Han Prime Minister Xiao He would lose the other.
Just like the words that Liu Ji, the king of the Han Dynasty, said in the Weiyang Palace at the end, in the planning and planning of the husband, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary.
Town the country, care for the people, give wages, and keep the grain, I am not as good as Xiao He. Even an army of millions, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin.
These three are all masterpieces, I can use them, so I take the world.
Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin are the foundation of the Han King Liu Ji's ability to achieve the hegemony of the emperor.
These three people are like a three-horse carriage, driving the huge carriage of the Han Kingdom, and now Han Xin has deviated from the corner. Now that Han Xingui is the king of Qi, it is naturally impossible for him to obey all the orders of Liu Ji, the king of Han.
As long as Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, dismantles these three carriages, he will definitely receive unimaginable surprises.
Xiang Tian knew in his heart that now Han Xin, the king of Qi, was thousands of miles away, and he was his biggest opponent in this life. Zhang Liang has been following Liu Ji, the king of Han, and he can't start at all.
Thinking about it, there was only Xiao He alone. As long as the flooding of Guanzhong will definitely distract Xiao He, taking care of one and losing the other, he will jointly control the three carriages of the Han Kingdom, and it will not be far from falling apart.
As long as these three carriages are destroyed, it will definitely cause Liu Ji, the king of Han, to no longer be handy, and the situation in the world will change in a short time.
……
"Prime Minister, the news came from the scouts Since the third watch last night, the battle formation in Zhiyang City has been urgent, and it has never stopped ringing."
Cao Shen is a soldier everyone, he faintly felt a trace of unease, the prince of Chu Xiang Tian is no less talented in using soldiers than his father Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
Categorically would not make such an obvious mistake, the drums continued to beat all night, and the drums were full of anxiety, which can only show that if it was not for the deliberate action of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, or for the Chu army to be in chaos.
Xiao He and Cao Shen glanced at each other, and saw each other's thoughts from each other's eyes, since the Chu army broke through the siege, they followed Xiang Tiannan to fight in the north, so they naturally would not mess up.
Other than that, there is only one possibility......
"Hanging sheep drumming!"
Almost subconsciously spoke, the two of them said this idiom in unison, and Cao Cheng Xiao He knew in his heart that this matter was probably not far from ten.
"Someone."
"General Cao."
Glancing at Yu Shi, Cao Shen said in a deep voice: "You led three thousand light horsemen to quickly set off to Zhiyang to find out the truth, and the prime minister suspected that this was just a plan by the prince of Chu to hang the sheep and beat the drum."
"No."
The hanging sheep drumming appeared again, which made Cao Shen's expression change slightly, and he understood that even if Xiang Tian retreated openly, as long as he did not bypass Xianyang, the Han army would not easily pursue.
But it was so simple, Xiang Tian went against common sense and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to make a hanging sheep drum, which means that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, has a lot of plans.
Because of this, Cao Shen ordered Yu Shi to go to find out, and only by knowing the truth and reality can he make the most advantageous deployment.
"It's so embarrassing!"
Cao Shen looked at Xiao He, and his tone was extremely helpless, at this moment, Xianyang had an army of 130,000 in his hands, but under the army of more than 70,000 troops of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, he did not dare to go out of the city.
This kind of grievance can only be felt by the parties concerned, especially a wise and brave person like Cao Shen, who is even more resentful in his heart.
"General Cao, this is a bad word!"
Shaking his head, Xiao He paused word by word, and said: "Although there are only more than 70,000 troops in the hands of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, they are all elites of a hundred battles who have experienced bloody impacts."
"Especially at this time, following Xiang Tian north to the Central Plains, the soldiers of Chu must have come with a will to die, and their combat power is not a grade at all."
"Moreover, there are not only the scrolls left by the Qin State in Xianyang, but also gold and silver, which have a far-reaching impact on the Han State."
"Once Xianyang is breached, the losses will be incalculable, and the army can continue to fight if it is killed, but the scrolls that the Great Qin Empire spent its energy to paint are absolutely valuable, and once the losses will be irreparable."
