In November of the fifth year of Qin Tiansheng, the Qin army and the Zhao army broke out several major battles in the area of Ji County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the beginning, because the strength was inferior to the enemy, it was divided into two parts, the north and the south, and the Qin army engaged in three battles, all of which were defeated, with more than 10,000 casualties. Although Hu Song's troops were strong, they were stopped by the Zhao army and prevented them from joining the southern army, and Hu Song also worried about the emptiness of the hinterland of the state, so he did not dare to pounce on the whole army. Later, the Qin army was defeated again and again, and as a last resort, Hu Song ordered Yang Tao to lead 20,000 people to rush to the Shangdang, and he led 30,000 people to forcibly break through the defense line of the Zhao army, and finally joined forces with the southern army with heavy casualties.

Although the morale has recovered, the Qin army of more than 60,000 people at that time was still at a disadvantage in the face of the Zhao army, and the soldiers' suspicious hearts were difficult to quickly soothe. Later, under the general system of Hu Song, the Qin army won several small victories, but was suppressed in Luojiabao and could not retreat half a step back from the enemy.

It was the time of panic that the bad news that Xingyang was suddenly attacked by Emperor Zhao Shihu and fell came to make people's hearts more and more turbulent. Hedong Gongshi Sheng was shocked and angry when he heard the news, because Xingyang is the only fundamental place for him now, and now he has fallen to Shihu, and his public and personal enmity have made him angry. So with the consent of Hu Song and after flying to the imperial court, Shi Sheng led the men and horses of the headquarters to quickly return to the Tiger Prison, and at the same time, the emperor ordered the Tiger to guard Wu Xia, and move the defense line to the east for a hundred miles, and work with Shi Sheng to resist Shi Hu to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate.

The tiger prison is urgent, and Shi Sheng is not allowed to go without dividing his troops. But in the area of Ji County, the pressure immediately increased. Zhixiong got Shihu communication, took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, Hu Song commanded the battle, and finally was outnumbered, so he had to lead more than 40,000 defeated troops to retreat to Hanoi. After a desperate struggle outside the city, he finally blocked the offensive of Zhixiong and kept Hanoi from losing, but he lost four or five thousand men and horses. In the face of the huge crisis, some people in the Qin army began to be unable to hold on, and the phenomenon of defecting to the enemy that had never appeared in the past happened several times in succession, and even the generals betrayed three people.

The alarm was like snowflakes in the capital, and Emperor Gao Yue was anxious, and he was even more furious. He even considered transferring Xie Ai's Jingzhou Corps in the south to fight north, but was bitterly admonished by Yang Ke of Xiangguo. Before long, an edict reached the front line, which shocked people greatly.

The emperor ordered the Qinghai war to stop for a while, and transferred and recruited the Liangzhou army, the Tiefu Department of Saibei, the Tu tribe and the Qiang soldiers of Longnan and Longbei, a total of 60,000 elites as reinforcements. Later, he skipped the setting of the eastward camp, and was directly upgraded to Heluo Dao, and appointed the hussar general, Xia Gong, and Han Yong, the right minister, as the Daxingtai of Heluo Dao, and awarded the general; At the same time, he was promoted to the title of Liangzhou Metropolitan Protector as General Anxi and Daxingtai Zuocheng, and Pingnan General Yang Jiantou as Daxingtai Youcheng, so that Han Yong led 60,000 reinforcements to the front line in Hanoi and presided over all wars.

In the holy decree, it was strictly ordered that all the generals below Hu Song and the civil and military officials of the counties and counties were subject to Han Yong's control. What surprised everyone the most was that the emperor granted Han Yong a fake Huang Yue very rarely, and repeatedly ordered five reaffirmations, except for Hu Song, all the generals in the East, Han Yong can be cut first and then played, regardless of the reason.

This kind of special gift of fake Huang Yue is not often received by human ministers. It was rare in previous lives, and it has not been seen much since. Later, at the end of the Qin Dynasty for 260 years, no minister was awarded a fake Huang Yue. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Yang Jianquan, a relative and prime minister, leaned towards the power of the government and the opposition, and he was not awarded this honor by the emperor until he finally usurped Qin and became independent.

Han Yong took his resign and arrived in Hanoi in a few days. The generals of the Qin army had already received the edict, and they were all terrified, and they went out ten miles away to greet them. At that time, the war drums rumbled, the banner hunted, countless spears reflected the sun, the forest cold was dazzling, and the generals with helmets and armor stood solemnly, mighty and majestic.

"Meet the General!"

Seeing the five-finger-wide gold-rimmed black silk from far and near, accompanied by the sound of armor leaves, under the general Hu Song, dozens of middle and senior generals and more than 1,000 salutes greeted the soldiers, all lifted their armor, bowed down on one knee, and paid respectful respect to the Qin army Dayuan Rong, who could exercise supreme power on his behalf.

Han Yong's face was full of dust and frost, but he was in good spirits, and the light flashed in his sunken eyes. Among the figures, he was the only one who could wear a golden helmet and gold armor, sit on a high-headed horse, and calmly accept everyone's worship before jumping off the horse and coming over to support Hu Song, who was the leader.

Hu Song couldn't afford it, and said with shame: "Xia Guan was the main general before, but it led to the situation being corrupted like this, which made the sacred heart worried and tired Yuan Rong rushing. The subordinate official is dull and useless, and the general is asked to punish him on behalf of His Majesty, and the subordinate is willing to accept the guilt. ”

Han Yong helped Hu Song up with both hands, patted his arm, and said warmly: "With inferior troops, we will resist the strong enemy alone, turn the tide in the crisis, so that the situation will not be completely defeated, and reserve the fire of battle for our army." This hard work is high, and His Majesty has also sighed and admired, so that Ben Shuai will take a four-character oracle to the public: Hu Song is not easy! ”

It is not easy to make a sound, and how many difficulties and grievances have been resolved. Hu Song was also a deep character, so he almost burst into tears on the spot, he choked up and bowed again, got up and respectfully invited Han Yong to go forward and enter the Chinese army's big tent.

The arrival of 60,000 fresh troops, especially the personal presence and command of the supreme military commander, was like a needle in the sea, allowing the previously turbulent military spirit to quickly settle down and begin to cohesive. Everyone hugged Han Yong all the way, and unconsciously became excited and enthusiastic.

As soon as he sat down, minus all the polite greetings, Han Yong's face was pale: "This time, this marshal is under the strict orders of the emperor and the entrustment of Li Shu, and he is here to preside over the big and small wars. Next, we will convene a military meeting on the current situation between us and the enemy. Where is Wang Zuocheng? ”

Wang should Huo Ran got up and said loudly: "The last general is here, please show the general!" ”

Han Yong sat upright, glanced awe-inspiring at the seats, and spoke very clearly: "Listen to my general order - those who fail to name three times will be killed!" Deceive the negligent, behead! Defend those who do not comply, behead! Those who are rude, slash! There are those who are afraid of the enemy and cowardly, slash!! ”

Below Hu Song, everyone was sitting in a precarious position, not squinting, and even daring to move their eyes. Everyone knows that now Han Yonglai personally took command and pretended to be Huang Yue, which shows the emperor's determination to win the battle and his resolute attitude of serious military discipline and lawlessness. No matter who it is, in this special situation, if it hits the head of the gun, there is no other thing but death.

Satisfied with the respectful attitude of the generals, Han Yong bowed slightly, quickly cut to the topic, and conducted in-depth communication and discussion with Hu Song and others on the current situation in all aspects. Before I knew it, a whole day had passed, and even the food was brought in, and the generals hurriedly ate it while talking.

When the lamp was in charge, after careful study, Han Yong muttered: "We didn't know before, but now we all understand that Shi Hu and Zhixiong, the main force pretended to be a partial division, and the partial division was used as the main force, and the two of them were one positive and one auxiliary, confusing the sight of our army, and as a result, Shi Hu successfully broke through Xingyang and forced the tiger prison." After achieving the set goal, in turn, Zhixiong began to turn the false into the true, and launched a fierce offensive against me with real swords and guns, intending to seriously open up the road from Hanoi to Luoyang, so that he could echo Shihu in the north and south, and finally meet under the city of Luoyang and besiege my Jingshi. ”

In Han Yong's eyes, the light became more and more fierce, and he said coldly: "Since I already know the true intentions of the enemy army, how can I let him get his wish!" This handsome is here, shouldering a heavy responsibility, if he can't succeed, he has to kill himself, everyone! ”

All the generals unanimously stood up, driving a loud sound from the nail leaves.

"Where's the quartermaster?"

Everyone didn't know why Han Yong suddenly called out the quartermaster, they were all curious, but who dared to ask more, they all stood straight without moving, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

After a while, the quartermaster stepped forward and bowed: "Humble to meet the general!" I don't know what the order is? ”

"Now our army has a total of how much grain and straw?"

"Returning to the Great General. Previously, our army was attacked by the thief army, and there was no time to transport, except for the lost and consumed, only 18,000 stones of grain and grass remained. Today, the general came in person and brought 60,000 stone of food. Therefore, now our army has a total of nearly 80,000 stones. ”

The quartermaster was very determined. I was secretly glad that I had been counting and checking before I could grasp the specific amount. If he is lazy and is now asked in public, and then he doesn't know what to do, then his head, must be an excellent thing for the general to use to make an example.

Han Yong didn't say anything, and turned his head and called: "Where is Yang Youcheng?" ”

Yang Jiantou came out of the crowd: "The end will be!" ”

Han Yong nodded, and suddenly raised his voice: "Pass me the order!" All the grain and grass will be burned! A few days later, after the marshal made it clear, it will be implemented by Yang Youcheng personally! ”

As soon as this military order came out, everyone was shocked. Yang Jian's head was obviously a little stunned, he didn't react, seeing Han Yong's face turn cold, he was agitated, gritted his teeth and had to accept it.

"Wait!"

At this moment, the only person who can speak out is Hu Song. He called Yang Jian's head, then turned to Han Yong and said, "The matter is urgent, the general forgives the officials for being rude." I really don't understand: the war is imminent, why did the general take the initiative to burn his own grain and grass first? ”

The generals couldn't bear it anymore, looked at each other, and then whispered in agreement. Seeing the look of doubt below, Han Yong waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet first, and then said to Hu Song: "Che Qi and everyone, do you know that in the last years of the pre-Qin Dynasty, the battle of the Chu Overlord Julu?" ”

Suddenly mentioning this again, Hu Songleng was stunned, but still replied truthfully: "Xiaguan was taught by his father in the past, and the strategy of military writing was also rough, and this allusion is still known." He saw that some of the generals kept nodding their heads, while some were at a loss, so he turned to everyone and explained: "In the last years of the first Qin, the second emperor was cruel and unkind, the world was boiling, and all the six countries were said to be restored. After killing Xiang Liang, the leader of the Chu army, Zhang Han, the general of the first Qin, thought that the south had been pacified, so he led the main force of 400,000 elites to the north to Julu, Hebei, and attacked the princes' army in Zhao. The princes' armies joined forces for more than ten times, but they were repeatedly defeated by Zhang Han, and they did not dare to fight again. ”

"And Xiang Yu's lone army went north to rescue, the light soldiers rushed quickly, after crossing the Yellow River, he broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and with the spirit of not winning or dying, he rammed the Qin army, and finally won a big victory after nine battles, and since then he has established the prestige of the overlord of Chu in the world."

There was a sudden feeling at the bottom. Sima Cheng couldn't help but say to Han Yong: "The general wants to follow the overlord's indomitable approach? However, today's situation ......"

Han Yonghuo Ran got up, came to the marching map hanging on the wall, glanced at all kinds of expressions, and said calmly: "Burn grain to show my determination." However, this alone still cannot fully motivate the determination of the grassroots soldiers. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look. ”

With his guidance, the generals' eyes moved to the southwest two hundred miles, and the map was clearly marked, it was the Yellow River.
