Chapter 157: Qin Xiao Fights Xiang Yu
Seeing that the generals pleaded, thoughtfully, waved their hands, and the swords and axes withdrew from the big tent, Qin Xiao immediately knelt down and said: "Commander, please let me lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will go to Julu City to challenge, if you can't defeat Xiang Yu, I am willing to come and see you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Please let me die on the battlefield instead of dying under the sword and axe of my own people! ”
[Zhang Han] waved his hand, and the generals quieted down. [Zhang Han] said expressionlessly: "Fang is in chaos today, there is a great crisis in the empire, I sent Sima Xin to Xianyang to inquire about the news, but he was chased and killed by Zhao Gao, according to Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao has killed the king, and my emperor has died; If we recognize Zhao Gaoli's new king, we will also become the ministers of rebellion! If we don't recognize Zhao Gaoli's new monarch, we are bound to become a lone army! We will be caught in the middle of Xianyang and Xiang Yu, and there will be no supplies and no support from now on! In such a situation, our army is no longer just a question of war or non-war. I didn't tell you about it before, because I was afraid that these things would disturb the morale of the army; But at this moment, the life and death of the entire army is at stake, and it is time for everyone to express their stance together. ”
"Huh?" The generals were shocked together! This shows how well [Zhang Han] has done his secrecy work, and his control over the army has reached a perfect level. The generals bowed together and said, "Only the generalissimo's order is obeyed!" I'll die with you! ”
[Zhang Han] continued: "Now our army has become a trapped army overnight, before Liu Bangxi entered the pass, he sent troops to burn the ferries along the Pingjin coast, although there are no heavy troops along the Yellow River, but our army wants to withdraw to the south of the Yellow River, because there are too many people, it is not easy. But in the north of the Yellow River, the army of 180,000 princes and Xiang Yu's iron cavalry that we designed to lure over have now become our henchmen, and today's tentative siege, my real goal is just to confirm the combat effectiveness of Xiang Yu and the princes' army. This battle proved that the destruction of Wang Li's army was not accidental. Xiang Yu's use of troops has reached the realm of supernatural transformation, and his eight thousand soldiers are all the king's army, and it is not easy to defeat Xiang Yu from the frontal battlefield. Therefore, if we attack Xiang Yu hard, our chances of winning are getting lower and lower; It seems impossible to withdraw the Yellow River again and stand against the danger. It was my misuse of soldiers that led everyone into this embarrassing situation! ”
Sima Xin said: "Dashuai, when there is chaos today, the political situation is turbulent, and the situation is unpredictable, there is a providence in this!" You command the soldiers and horses of the world, and you are invincible and invincible against the rebels, but the court is in chaos, the loyal and good are slaughtered, and the traitors are rampant! It's better for us to turn around, lead the generals to kill back to Xianyang, support the new monarch, and return the world to a peaceful and peaceful place! ”
"That's right! Kill back to Xianyang, eliminate traitorous ministers, support a new monarch, and return the world to a peaceful and peaceful place! The crowd was enthusiastic about Sima Xin's words, and they all responded immediately.
"Kill back to Xianyang and get rid of traitors! It's not impossible, but we must first get rid of Xiang Yu's pursuit, and secondly, we must search and build enough ships, otherwise we will not have time to cross the Yellow River south. Unless we go west from the north side of the Yellow River and along the line of the Taihang Mountains, this road is definitely a dead end, and more than 200,000 horses and horses cannot pass smoothly. Therefore, if we want to fight back to Xianyang, we must either defeat Xiang Yu and the princes first, or negotiate peace with the princes first. Only in this way can we relieve our worries! Zhang Han continued to calmly analyze for everyone.
Sima Xin said: "Marshal, after the previous battle, the morale of our army has dropped to the freezing point, if the news of the Xianyang coup spreads again, I am afraid that the army's morale will fall into collapse and be difficult to control." Therefore, rational analysis, our army is not conducive to fighting again at present, and it is a good choice to negotiate peace with the princes' armies. However, under the situation of occupying a large advantage, it is not yet possible to confirm whether Xiang Yu is willing to negotiate peace. ”
Qin Chi and Ye Xiong stood up and said: "Great Marshal, in the previous battle, Xiang Yu could obviously annihilate our department, and even if the two of us fought hard, Xiang Yu did not attack with all his strength, and when he let us leave, he fulfilled his promise!" did not kill them all, nor did he fall into the well, which shows that Xiang Yu is a gentleman who is upright. The two of us are willing to atone for our sins, and personally go to the Chu camp to negotiate peace, and strive for room for our army to recover! ”
Qin Xiao suddenly said: "Marshal, what if Xiang Yu does not agree with us to negotiate peace, and asks us to surrender to the rebels?" If they had also intercepted the information about the Xianyang coup, they would have thought that we had become a trapped army, and they might have made such a bold request! How will we respond? ”
