Since Fan Hao took over the project of repairing the plank road, he complained every day, but he was afraid that Han Xin would punish him for slacking off, so he recruited people from the surrounding areas and distributed money and food every day, so that as many as 10,000 people opened the road.

Despite this, the construction of the plank road does not seem to be so satisfactory, and there are some steep peaks, no amount of manpower is to avail, and the rest of the month, kilometers are still completed.

did not mention the matter of repairing the plank road, and said that Han Xin had divided all the Han troops into five teams, each pair of 20,000 horses, and marched to Chencang in the north of Nanzheng in turn.

100,000 military horses and materials have been transported from Nanzheng to Chencang in January, and Liu Bang is also stationed in Chencang with the army.

After all the military horses were rectified, Han Xin sent someone to Bianshu to inform Fan Xu, and Fan Xu had been repairing the plank road for more than a month, and he was waiting for Han Xin's news every day, hoping that he would spare himself.

Just when Fan Hao was in despair, Han Xin finally sent an envoy to come, and when Fan Xu saw this, he immediately invited him into the wooden house, so that he could be entertained, and he did not dare to slack off.

"Dare to ask the military envoy, but what new arrangements does the general have?" Fan asked very humbly.

The messenger took a slight sip of warm tea, "General Fan has worked hard, and now everything is in order, but the matter of the plank road must continue, just pay attention to rest." ”

"Could it be that General Han has no other words, just to tell me to pay attention to rest?" Fan Xu scratched his head and asked, Da Lao sent a messenger to come to let himself have a good rest, which is a bit nonsense.

At this time, the envoy was not selling Guanzi, and immediately took out the silk book from his sleeve and handed it to Fan Xu, "This is the general's book, and I ask General Fan to read it himself." ”

Fan Xu was a little confused to unfold the cloth, the book said: "General Han Xin bowed his head, since the beginning of the month ordered the general to secretly repair the plank road, it is a mistake to say that the Han army in Shu has been transferred to Chencang, the general does this hard work, but wants to mess with Zhang Han's mind, the tautology wants to tell the general about this, and is afraid that the general will leak the secret, so he has not said for a long time, this soldier out of Chencang, not the work of tautology, but the general's labor, I hope that the general will continue to repair the plank road, to occupy Xianyang, the general can lead his own troops, detour Chencang, and fight the waste hill together, so, the land of Sanqin can be broken. ”

Fan Xu read the letter, and his heart was mixed, "The crotch man's plan is really bitter!" ”

"General Fan should not disappoint the King of Han, he should be cautious, how to repair the plank road yesterday, how to do it today, when Xianyang is broken, the general's credit should be the first-class." The envoy said very indifferently.

"Thank you to the envoy for his auspicious words, please ask the messenger to go back to Chen Cang to tell the king, Fan Xu will not disgrace his mission, so that Zhang Han mistakenly thinks that the Han army is incompetent, and the only way out is the plank road."

After receiving the letter, Fan Xu became more and more irritable, which also made Zhang Han no longer doubtful, and Han Xin's 100,000 troops crossed the cloud and rain stream and were stationed outside Chen Cang.

In the tent, Xiao He and Lu Yan were all there, and Han Xin couldn't help but be a little moved when he came here, after all, killing the woodcutter here made Han Xin feel ashamed, so he was sad.

"In the past, I chased the general to the cloud and rain stream, the mountain spring rose and the stone bridge was submerged, so the general failed to get out of the mountain, and today the army has to go to the cloud and rain stream, the mountain spring is sparse, and the stone bridge comes back, so that the army can go out of Taibai Ridge, which is really the destiny of heaven." Xiao He couldn't help but say excitedly.

Lu Yan didn't speak, but carefully looked at the map on the case, Chen Cangnan is the waste hill, which is the fiefdom capital of Yongwang Zhanghan, and not far from the north is Xianyang and Liyang, and Liyang is the fiefdom capital of Sima Xin.

At this time, Xianyang was different from the past, after all, it was looted by the overlord, most of them were ruins, and Zhang Han did not garrison Xianyang.

In Zhang Han's view, if Xianyang is captured by the Han army, then he and Sima Xin will be flanked by the Han army, and the Han army will not return, and the whole army will be wiped out in Xianyang City.

Lu Yan reviewed the map a little, and he also roughly understood the stakes, "Tautology, do you have a decision in your heart about how to send troops?" The words seemed quite serious.

Seeing this, Han Xin immediately bowed and saluted: "Please also ask Master Hou for advice." ”

"This is two miles outside Chencang, if you go out to send troops, Zhang Han will definitely be aware of it, and will definitely send troops to attack, therefore, the troops can be divided into two roads, leaving 80,000 soldiers here, and sending another 20,000 soldiers to raid Xianyang, so that the waste hill is difficult to protect, when the time comes, Sima Xin will definitely not dare to send troops, and will definitely join forces with Gao Nu's Dong Peng, so that the decisive battle is inevitable." Lu Yan looked at the map and couldn't help but say with some concern.

"Hou Ye is really a clever plan, but is Hou Ye worried that the Wei blame of the Great Liang will attack, so that the Han army is attacked by the enemy, and it is difficult to deal with it?" Han Xin said very directly.

Lu Yan nodded slightly, "The southwest of Gaonu is Pingyang, and Wei Qi is stationed here, which is naturally a hidden danger, but there is the Yellow River in the middle, and it is also where the natural danger lies, so we should take the waste hill first." ”

Attacking Gaonu or something, it is inevitably a little far, and now occupying the waste hill is the key, Han Xin and the others will not say more, and immediately send Cao Shen to lead 20,000 troops to sneak into Xianyang.

In addition, Wang Ling led 20,000 troops as the vanguard, went to capture the waste hill, Guan Ying and Han Xin led 40,000 soldiers and horses, ambushed behind Wang Ling, and waited until Xianyang was taken, Fan Hao and Xiahou Ying came to support quickly, surrounded the waste hill, and Zhang Han was defeated.

The gentlemen discussed and decided, Cao Shen and Wang Ling led the army first, although Zhang Han was in the waste hill, he suddenly heard that the spies came to report, saying that there was a Han army near Chencang, which made Zhang Han quite surprised.

In the ruined hill city, Zhang Han paced back and forth, the plank road in Bianshu was still being repaired, but there was a Han army in Chencang, which was really incredible, but Zhang Han looked at the map carefully and seemed to understand something.

"Could it be that the Han army wants to raid Xianyang, so it will send troops to Chencang, and wait for me to gather men and horses to attack the Han army, so that Xianyang will not be in any danger." Zhang Han thought to himself.

On the same day, he ordered 20,000 troops, set off from the waste hill, and went to Chencang, and the Han army knew the movement of Zhang Han, so they ordered Wang Ling to be stationed ten miles away from Chencang to rest.

If Zhang Han came to attack, Wang Ling would go out of the camp to meet the battle, so that the battle line would detour to Chencang, and then Guan Ying and Han Xin could lead troops to support, so that Zhang Han's soldiers would be defeated.

At noon that day, Zhang Han led 20,000 soldiers and horses to quickly rush to Chencang ten miles, and when he saw the Han army's camp tent, he was overjoyed, thinking that the Han army wanted to attack Xianyang as he expected, so he chose this road.

Immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the camp, Wang Ling had been waiting in the camp for a long time, saw Zhang Han's army coming, he led the army to kill, 40,000 troops and horses were not long to fight in a melee, Wang Ling pretended to be invincible, and slowly dragged the line of troops to the rear.

Seeing this, Zhang Han thought that the Han army was tired, so he ordered the soldiers not to retreat, and to capture the Han army generals, and when Wang Ling retreated to Chencang five miles, Han Xin and Guan Ying led 40,000 soldiers and horses from the mountains and fields to suddenly kill.

Zhang Han was not shocked, and only then did he realize that the Han army had deceit, and hurriedly signaled the former general to wave the flag and evacuate this remote place.
