Chapter 357: Attacking Gaonu and Determining Three Qins

Liu Bang was overjoyed when he got Zhang Liang's letter, so he ordered Han Xin to lead the soldiers to Shangjun to attack Gaonu, so that all the three Qin lands belonged to Han, and at this time, Xiang Yu was also shocked to learn that Liyang City was broken.

Although the land of Qi and Zhao has not been pacified now, Fan Zeng believes that Liu Bang's potential in the future is much more powerful than Tian Rong, so he wants to ask the overlord to withdraw his troops, return to Pengcheng, and unite with the princes to jointly destroy Liu Bang.

At this time, Zhang Liang began to implement the second strategy, and hurriedly ordered someone to forge the seal of the Han King, causing a fake seal, and sent someone to send it to the overlord's camp urgently.

At this time, the battle between the overlord and Tian Rong was anxious, and he felt that if he insisted on it for more than a month, maybe Jiaodong would be recovered, but Fan Zeng insisted on attacking Liu Bang, which made Xiang Yu toss and turn, and was in a dilemma.

At this time, the seal of the King of Han was delivered, and Xiang Yu did not know the intention of the King of Han, so he hurriedly ordered someone to open the letter, wanting to read the contents of the letter, and then make a decision.

The book said: "Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, bowed his head suddenly, and now heard that Qi Tianrong and Zhao Chen Yu are all opposed, and the state is sad day and night, afraid that the overlord will be trapped by it, and he thinks that the overlord is brave and martial, and his strategy is unparalleled, and he will be able to break the enemy." ”

"Bang has lived in Shu for a long time, how can He De want to compare with the overlord, but the three kings are the old subordinates of Qin, the so-called will be difficult to be the second master, the state is afraid of the three Qin against Chu, although the king of Jiujiang and the king of Linjiang are in the southwest, there is no intention of sending troops, the state wants to remove the trouble for the overlord, so he sent troops, just to pacify Guanzhong, there is nothing else to ask for."

"The battle of the overlord giant deer won the hearts of the people, the world surrendered, how dare the state rebel against Chu and stand on its own, this is a matter of rebellion against the sky, if the state does it, the food is not sweet, and the night can not sleep."

"The overlord can carefully cut down Qi Zhao, the state will never dare to have two hearts, when Qi Zhao is established, the state is willing to give up the land, the north is a minister, and the Han King Liu Bang bows again."

Xiang Yu read the letter, his heart was overjoyed, but Fan Zeng, carefully read Liu Bang's book, his brows furrowed slightly, this is just a plan to delay the army, but if Xiang Yu Qi Zhao is not calm, counterattack Liu Bang, how can there be no risk of suffering from the enemy.

Now that there is Liu Bang's letter, Fan Zeng will no longer urge, and if Liu Bang does not abide by the agreement, he can announce this silk letter to the world, but Liu Bang is a person who has no faith and no righteousness.

Zhang Liang stayed in Yingchuan, South Korea, and never returned, just to observe Xiang Yu's movements, but he didn't expect that there was really no movement, so he went back to Liyang to report the matter to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang naturally praised Zhang Liang's approach, and after Wei Bao turned against Chu, Shenyang, the king of Henan, and Wu Qi, the king of Hengshan, also muttered in their hearts.

At present, the momentum of the King of Han is driven to surpass the overlord of Western Chu, if you don't choose the next family now, you will definitely be unlucky in the future, so they have shown favor to Liu Bang.

Seeing this, Liu Bang was overjoyed, you naturally have to be honest when you show kindness, I don't want the rest, since you have surrendered to Han, let's not talk about anything else, just divide the soldiers to come over.

Here, Liu Bang sent Li Sheng, Zhang Liang and others to visit the princes everywhere, of course, except for the King of Linjiang and the King of Jiujiang, these two people are not very powerful, but their territory is slightly wider.

If you send someone to say surrender, it will naturally be a little inappropriate, and if you don't know what to say, the two kings will join forces, and the Han army will not need the overlord of Western Chu to come, and these two people will kill Liu Bang.

After Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Li Sheng, the surrounding counties gathered as many as 560,000 troops and horses, Liu Bang was also very modest, and repeatedly threatened that I was not trying to win the world, I was avenging Emperor Yi, and everyone understood this meaning, otherwise they would not have taken out so many troops to support.

Liyang soldiers and horses gathered together without mentioning, and said that Zhang Han with 50,000 soldiers and horses, in Xianyang a little rectification, then set off towards Gaonu, if Zhai Wang Dong Fei takes, the three Qin are decided, so to advance to the north there will be no opponent.

And in Gaonu City, in addition to Zhai Wang Dong Peng, there is another person, that is, Sima Xin's deputy general Cao Qi, this person saw that Sima Xin was gone, so he turned around and threw himself under Dong Peng's door.

After arriving at Gaonu, Cao Ji cried a lot, saying that he wanted to avenge Sima Xin, and hoped that Dong Peng could give him military power and let him avenge him.

After Dong Fei listened, he sighed, but he didn't expect that there were such loyal ministers next to Sima Xin, and he immediately gave half of the soldiers and horses to Cao Yao, and ordered him to be appointed as a general.

On that day, Han Xin led 40,000 troops, and Fan Xu and Xiahou Ying led 10,000 troops as the vanguard, stationed on the bank of Bishui, that is, where Sima Xin was captured and killed.

When Han Xin learned that Cao Zhi had escaped, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to write a letter and sent it to the palace of King Gao Nu Zhai overnight, wanting to provoke Cao Zhi with words.

The book said: "Han Shang General Han Xin worships the head, now the three Qin lose two, only the remaining King Zhai is alone, presumably it is difficult to speak, I heard that Cao Zhi fled to Gao Nu, serving King Zhai, such people who abandoned the Lord and fled, King Zhai was relieved to reuse, it was really a horseman." ”

"When Cao Ji was in the palace of the king of Sai, he sent troops to fight the enemy, and there was no strategy, only one battle, and he did not return to the city.

"Isn't it that King Zhai is incompetent, so he uses incompetent people to echo each other from afar?"

After Dong Fei read the letter, he turned to Cao Ji next to him, "General Cao, are you willing to fight?" ”

Cao Ji thought to himself that I had come to join Dong Fei today, but Han Xin had come to write to slander me, and now Fan Xu and others were stationed on the bank of the river, where there were no high mountains and hills, and if they went to the battle, they would definitely be able to kill the enemy elite.

"Han Xin's crotch, tarnish my reputation, and if you want to attack it, you will fight to the death." Cao Ji said very firmly.

Dong Fei was still relieved when he heard this, "The general doesn't need to be angry, now Gao Nu has 40,000 soldiers, and the general will lead 20,000 troops to fight with Fan Xu, don't be cowardly, you will definitely be able to defeat Fan Xu." ”

"This king is also personally leading the two kings, in the rear of the front army, if you can't fight Fan Hao and others, you can feign defeat and retreat, I will send troops to support, and kill the Han army on the bank of the river."

"The king's plan is very good, I will go and prepare, and tomorrow I will go to meet the enemy." Cao Ji said very confidently.

And Han Xin knew that Dong Fei would inevitably be angry, so he expected that he would definitely send troops to attack Fan Xu on the bank of Bishui, and then he personally led 20,000 troops and ambushed Gao Nu and Bishui.

In addition, Cao Shen led 20,000 soldiers to support Fan Xu in the rear, so that 50,000 soldiers were arranged, and the next day, Cao Zhi really brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy.

Han Xin set up an ambush and saw Cao Qi's men and horses passing by, but did not send troops, but was ready to wait until Cao Qi withdrew, and then fight back, who knew that after Cao Qi passed half an hour, Dong Peng sent troops to sweep by.

Han Xin, who was in ambush, instantly understood that this was probably to make Cao Yi feign failure, and then Dong Fei led his troops to attack Fan Xu and others, wouldn't this Gaonu City be empty if he thought about it carefully?

Anyway, there is still the support of Cao Shen's tomb in the rear of Fan Xu, so there should be no problem, so Han Xin led his troops directly to attack Gaonu City, presumably Gaonu City must be empty at this moment.
