The 2,000 soldiers sent by Han Xinxian all had the Han army flag in their hands, that is, the small red flag, and ambushed them in the hills, and once all the Zhao troops were dispatched, they planted the red flag in the Zhao army camp.

And Zhao Wangxie, who was here, was a little surprised when he heard that the Han army was marching from the village and was dozens of miles closer to the mouth of the well, so he immediately summoned Chen Yu to discuss whether to send troops to meet the battle.

In the palace, Chen Yu didn't seem to care very much, "Don't worry, the king is tired, our army is waiting for work, and the morale is far from being comparable to that of the Han army. ”

Zhao Wangxi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he agreed with Chen Yu's statement, as for Li Zuoche stayed in the rear to defend the city, seeing that the situation was not right, it was a big deal to abandon the city and surrender, probably this is the case.

After Han Xin arranged 2,000 soldiers, he then convened the generals to discuss the matter, Zhang Jiao and Cao Shen on the left and right, and from the looks of his face, he seemed to be not very sure of Han Xin.

Han Xin warned Cao Shen and others: "During the battle, when the Zhao army sees that our army is defeated and flees, it will definitely go out to chase after our army, you will quickly attack the camp of the Zhao army, pull out the banner of the Zhao army, and erect the red flag of the Han army.

After arranging Cao Shen's strategy, and asking the deputy general to convey the order to open the meal, Han Xin said very confidently: "After defeating the Zhao army today, we should be able to celebrate in the evening." ”

Zhang Er frowned slightly, this time the general seemed to be very confident, but such kindness could not be disobeyed, so he had to pretend to answer: "Obey the general's orders!" ”

Han Xin saw that his face was uncertain, so he said quite firmly: "The Zhao army has already occupied the favorable terrain and built a camp first, and they will not attack the vanguard of our army if they can't see our general's banner and honor guard, for fear that we will retreat to a dangerous place, so they can send troops forward first."

So Han Xin sent more than 10,000 Han troops as the vanguard troops, out of the well, with their backs to the river to set up a battle queue. Zhao Jun saw it from afar, laughed non-stop, and wanted to come to the military book to emphasize again and again that the backwater should not be arrayed, which shows that Han Xinshi is a puppet.

As soon as the sky was bright, Han Xin set up the general's banner and honor guard, and drove out of the well with great fanfare. The Zhao army opened the camp to attack the Han army, and the fierce battle lasted for a long time.

At this time, Han Xin Zhang Er pretended to abandon the flag and fled back to the position by the river. The troops of the riverside positions opened the camp gates and let them in. Then he fought fiercely with the Zhao army. The Zhao army really went out to compete for the baggage of the Han army, chasing the subordinates of Han Xin, Zhang Er and others. Han Xin and Zhang Er have already entered the riverside position.

This means that the Han army has no way to retreat, and the back is full of rivers, and the whole army must fight to the death, and the Zhao army cannot defeat them. The 2,000 light cavalry sent out by Han Xin in advance, led by Cao Shen, when the Zhao army went out to chase the spoils of the Han army, Cao Shen led the army to rush into the empty camp of the Zhao army, pulled out all the banners of the Zhao army, and erected 2,000 red flags of the Han army.

At this time, the Zhao army could no longer win, and could not capture Han Xin and others, and wanted to retreat to the camp, which was full of red flags of the Han army, and was greatly shocked, thinking that the Han army had captured Zhao Wangxie and many generals.

So the army was in chaos and absconded in panic, and even if General Zhao killed the deserters, he could not stop the escape. So the Han soldiers attacked back and forth, completely destroyed the Zhao army, captured a large number of men and horses, and captured Zhao Wangxi alive on the shore of the water.

Chen Yu led more than 1,000 people to cross the river, but Zhang Er had already caught up, and when he saw that Chen Yu had fled, he immediately shouted behind him: "Chen Yu Zhuzi, study the ancient Confucian books hard, where do you want to go now?" ”

"Zhang Er, I spared you at the beginning, thinking of the brotherhood at the beginning, can you spare my life!" Chen Yu said helplessly.

At this moment, Zhang Er waved his hand slightly, and a cold arrow shot out directly from the back, Chen Yu couldn't react, and was hit by an arrow in his right leg, and he also felt that Zhang Er would not let go of himself, so he committed suicide on the shore of the water.

Since then, the well has been broken, and more than 100,000 people of the Zhao army have been captured and killed, Han Xin directly led his troops to Handan, and hung the heads of Zhao Wangxie and Chen Yu in front of the three armies.

At present, there is only Guangwujun Li Zuoche in Handan City, and when he saw the Han army attacking, he directly opened the city gate and did not make any resistance at all.

In fact, the strategists in the Western Han Dynasty were more individual, if you didn't listen to his schemes, sent troops privately, and fought blindly, then they were sticking to the city, and then waiting for the enemy to come, open the door and surrender.

After Li Zuoche surrendered, he thought that Han Xin was brave and strategic, so he followed Han Xin to do things, obeyed his dispatch, and then deeply mourned his monarch, and should not listen to Chen Yu's scheme.

In this way, the state of Zhao was broken, and the rest were the state of Yan and the state of Qi, and that year happened to be the spring of 204 BC, and Liu Bang was overjoyed after hearing it.

Only in Pengcheng, the atmosphere was depressing, and in the entire hall, Xiang Yu had no intention of singing and dancing, but just quietly looked at the map, and now Liu Bang's territory is almost as big as two Chu countries.

Fan Zeng drank a glass of sake slightly, "King, now the old man feels that he should go out with his troops, so that he can fight against Han Xin!" ”

"What my father said is wrong, I think that Tian Rong is surrendering to me and sticking to his own land, what reason do I have to lead the unrighteous army to crusade against the Qi country." Xiang Yu said indifferently.

When Ji Bu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately bowed and saluted: "King Qiyu, then Han Xin attacked Sanqin, Ding'anyi, and attacked Zhaodi, is it the teacher of benevolence and righteousness?" The first emperor attacked the six countries, and there was no mercy at all, and now only by occupying Qi can he match the Han army, and destroy Liu Bang in the future, and he can also divide Qi land to the children of the Tian family. ”

"Now Han Xin's soldiers Qi Zhao, if I take this opportunity to attack Xingyang, if Liu Bang is captured, I will have no choice but to come to Han Xin." Xiang Yu thought twice and looked at his father at the same time.

Fan Zeng was just silent, and only said after a while: "If the king wants to attack Xingyang, it's okay, but he needs to fight quickly, or besiege Liu Bang, either, the king is so hesitant, he must be worried that Yingbu will cut off the grain from the rear?" ”

"Father's words are yes!" Xiang Yu said.

Fan Zeng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Why is the king worried about Yingbu, even if he takes refuge in Liu Bang, I don't think he may dare to send troops to Lingbi, he is not the only one in the southwest, isn't Linjiang King Gongao still on the edge of his jurisdiction?" And no one knows the nature of the common heart, can he rest assured? Unless Gongao surrenders to Liu Bang, our army cannot advance eastward, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Xiang Yu was quite happy when he heard this, "Now Han Xin's soldiers are in Dai County, we will take this opportunity to capture Xingyang, and then occupy the military pass, when Han Xin has no grain and grass to transport, he will definitely be self-defeating!" ”

The generals of Pengcheng were also the heads, and immediately organized 50,000 troops and marched towards the Lingbi, but Liu Bang didn't know anything about it, and was still in Xingyang, hoping that Han Xin could have good news again.
