Chapter 169: Escape Plan
Xiang Yu continued to negotiate with Zhao Wangxie, Zhao Wangxie was a real person, and immediately found Zhang Er and Chen Yu to discuss, and Zhang Er's answer was simpler - "King, we can't even supply food to the people of Chu, and we will run out of cooking tomorrow." Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info These troops stay in Julu, and the people of Julu will all starve to death! "King Zhao suddenly realized that the population of Zhao was not much, and he had fought a whole year of fighting, and he had not planted crops at all, where did he get the grain? !
On the fifth day, there was already a mutiny within the Qin army, and every time food was distributed, there would be soldiers of the Qin army fighting to the death for a steamed bun. The Chu army next to it will come to suppress it, and the soldiers who violate military discipline will either be whipped or executed! The soldiers of the Qin army had already seen that there could be no result. So, everyone took it together and discussed-"Only by reversing the Chu camp can we have a chance to survive, otherwise we will all starve to death!" Soon, this rumor quickly spread among the Qin army, and many soldiers were encouraged, and they expressed their readiness to participate in the escape.
On this day, [Zhang Han] was in Xiang Yu's camp, Fan Zeng and Zhao Wangxie were there, and everyone discussed the preparation to immediately raise troops to cross the Yellow River south, on the one hand, to find strategic materials, and on the other hand, to realize the plan to move west to Xianyang. Chen Yuhuo hurriedly ran in and shouted, "General, it's not good!" There is a major situation! ”
Xiang Yu shouted: "General Chen panicked, take your time!" ”
Chen Yu deliberately glanced at [Zhang Han] with his eyes, and then fixed his mind and said: "Report to the general, just now I heard a rumor among the soldiers of the Qin army that due to the lack of military food, the soldiers of the Qin army were treated unfairly, and many soldiers agreed to go out of the Chu camp tonight!" Prepare for the Great Escape! ”
[Zhang Han] was furious when he heard this: "Hmm! Is there such a thing?! General Chen Hugh wants to spew blood, if there is no evidence, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! ”
Chen Yu sneered: "Evidence! Zhang Dashuai, don't worry, I've been ready for you a long time ago! Bring it on! After saying that, Chen Yu clapped his palms, and someone escorted up a soldier behind him, wearing Qin Army clothes!
Chen Yu said to the soldier: "Hurry up and recruit truthfully, how many people are involved in your escape plan?" What are your goals? ”
The soldier had obviously been tortured, and said in a weak voice: "There are more than 30,000 people preparing to participate in this plan, and our goal is to go east and fight to the country of Qi, where there has been no war, it is relatively wealthy, and it can eat well!" "I fainted after saying that!
Chen Yu turned to Xiang Yu and said: "More than 30,000 people, if you escape, it will be a powerful force, not to mention that the Qi State has no precautions, even if there are precautions, they may not be able to deal with more than 30,000 well-trained Qin troops!" General, the Qin army's wolf ambitions, we can't afford not to guard against it! ”
[Zhang Han] was furious: "General Hugh must listen to this person's words, the people of Zhao and my Qin army have a grudge against destroying the country, they keep in mind the hatred of killing 200,000 Zhao troops in Bai Qikeng back then, and they want to deliberately spread rumors and encourage you to be unfavorable to the Qin army!" The general must be aware of it! ”
Xiang Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't quarrel with the two, I will arrange someone to investigate this matter, Yingbu!" ”
"The last general!" Yingbu stepped out in response, as tall as a javelin.
"I order you to immediately lead people to the camp to investigate this matter, and if it is true, be sure to find out who the leading generals are?! If it's not true, find out where the rumor came from! ”
"The last general obeys!" With that, Yingbu turned and left.
This case is not difficult to investigate at all, the key is to find out which officers were involved. On the one hand, Yingbu mobilized 8,000 soldiers to strengthen the guard inside and outside the camp, and on the other hand, he notified the surrounding princes' troops to mobilize men and horses to secretly ambush in case of accidents. After the arrangement, Yingbu began to investigate the Qin army one by one, and finally, some weak-willed Qin soldiers could not withstand the pressure and began to confess, and then a large number of Qin soldiers also confessed one after another, and most of the generals were involved, and the rest of the generals were involved in this plan except for Sima Xin, Dong Chen, Qin Chi, Ye Xiong, Luo Yan, Luo Fei, etc. It turned out that these generals were defined by the soldiers as [pro-Chu faction] because of their loyalty to [Zhang Han], so they were deliberately excluded from the fleeing camp! The number of people involved in the escape plan was indeed as high as more than 30,000, and the news shocked Yingbu.
In the evening of that day, Yingbu came to Xiang Yu's camp, and only Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng were in the camp.
Yingbu reported: "Big brother, there are indeed a large number of Qin troops secretly formulating escape plans!" We have identified the plan and have taken these soldiers and generals in solitary confinement if they were trying to escape. Can you decide what to do? ”
Xiang Yu was very calm: "Which senior generals are involved in this plan?" Which ones didn't attend? ”
