Chapter 345: Surrender to Man
Two weeks after Liu Bang's inspection of [Waste Hill], Cao Shen, who was born as a clerk, finally gave him an idea. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Shen said: "Boss, I found that the waste mound is actually in the lower reaches of the Han River, and it has been the autumn rainy season recently, and according to the time, it will be the season of flooding in Guanzhong." We only need to send 5,000 elite soldiers to carry dirt bags on their backs to stuff the upper reaches of the Han River and form a plug lake. When the water is high enough, we will directly knock down the dirt bags together, so that Lao Zhang and his turtle formation will be finished together! ”
When Liu Bang heard this, he praised Cao Shen. He personally led the generals to inspect the upper reaches of the Han River several times, and finally decided to implement this plan.
That night, Mr. Zhang Han, a generation of famous generals, was patrolling the city tower, and suddenly it rained rain, and he always had an ominous premonition, but he couldn't tell where this feeling came from! He was in a daze admiring the pouring rain, and not long after, he heard the sound of a "rumbling" tide in the distance, "Ah! Flood?! Hanshui burst?! Oh my God, my old chapter is dead! ”
Lao Zhang looked up to the sky and shouted, but he watched dozens of torrents rushing down from a distance, and the flood directly washed through the gate of the [Waste Hill], and in less than half an hour, the entire [Waste Hill] was completely submerged. Nearly a million civilians were drowned in the flood, and nearly 30,000 troops were fed fish and shrimp before they could fight!
Lao Zhang stood on the city tower, witnessing all this, the nerves of the god of war completely collapsed!
That's right, Lao Zhang has seen hundreds of thousands of rebels die under his iron hooves; I have also seen 200,000 Qin troops being killed by the Zhao people; I have also seen Qindu Xianyang killed and burned by Xiang Yu! But at this moment, seeing the millions of civilians under his rule once again drowning in innocent floods and dying, his strong nerves could no longer withstand this kind of blow!
He angrily drew his long sword, stood on the city tower, and wiped his neck directly!
What is the meaning of living in such a life? In such a war situation, what kind of god of war should he be?
Who the did this immoral thing? Lao Tzu will curse you when he dies!
Unable to return to heaven again, with depression, shame and discouragement, [Zhang Han] ended his tragic life with his own sword. What about even the God of War? There are always things in the world that you can't control, how can your fate be in your hands?
This is the end of the last famous general of the Great Qin Empire. For the Qin State, he is benevolent and righteous, and seeing this country shattered, he would have been better off than dead! For Xiang Yu, he was worthy of his heart, he persevered to the end, and he didn't look forward to saving the soldiers!
The most discussed thing among historians is that since Lao Zhang can surrender Xiang Yu, why can't he surrender Liu Bang like Sima Xin and others?
In fact, Lao Zhang was extremely conceited in his life, he surrendered to Xiang Yu because the military food was out of supply and the court changed drastically, in order to save his 200,000 Qin troops, he didn't expect to harm them. In the end, he sincerely surrendered to Xiang Yu, because he was grateful to Xiang Yu for not killing himself for personal revenge, but instead named him [King Yong]. As a generation of famous generals, people who are extremely conceited can no longer tolerate their second betrayal, otherwise they will have no face to stand between heaven and earth. In the end, [Zhang Han] ended his life by killing himself......
There is a poem as proof:
Although this water is not chiseled by Yu,
【Waste Hill】The mountain is haunted again.
Mo Yan only solves the eastward flow,
He once made Zhang Han commit suicide.
A generation of famous generals, rest in peace! Your enemies are no better, and history will eventually arrange a suitable grave for everyone......
After cleaning up the old chapter, Liu Bang continued to do two major things to stabilize the world:
First, he appointed his son Liu Ying as the crown prince, granted amnesty to the world, and appointed Xiao He as the prime minister to assist the prince in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Second, there was a famine in Guanzhong at that time, prices skyrocketed, and even people cannibalism. Liu Bang moved a large number of Qin people to the Bashu Hanzhong, which solved the problem of refugee life and laid the foundation for the prosperity of Shu, which opened up the country of natural wealth.
After finishing these few things, Liu Bang quickly returned to the front line of Xingyang as promised, ready to fight his old brother Xiang Yu to the death!
When Liu Bang returned to Xingyang, the first thing he did was to send his No. 1 diplomat [Li Shiqi] to visit Wei Wangbao, hoping to persuade Wei Wangbao to betray Xiang Yu and cooperate with the old Liu family to complete the plan to destroy Chu. But this time, Wei Wangbao was scared by Xiang Yu, no matter what the diplomat said, it was not good, Wei Wangbao scolded Liu Bang and swore to follow Xiang Yu to the death.
Toast without eating and drinking, it's simple, don't think that Lao Tzu can't stop you.
