Chapter 158: Deception and True Descent?
Sima Xin said: "Then we will plan and surrender!" Our army is strong, and after the surrender, we will take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and break out to make trouble, and we can solve these princes' armies and Xiang Yu's troops in one fell swoop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the time comes, we will be the most powerful force in the world, and we will take advantage of the situation to fight back to Xianyang, and no one will dare to fight against us! ”
The generals kept arguing, but [Zhang Han] was extremely calm, he used his troops cautiously and strived for perfection all his life, but now he repeatedly lost his fighters because of prudence, and finally made 300,000 Qin troops fall from a victorious army to a trapped army! This cannot but be said to be a tragedy! There are no absolutes in the world, how can we get out of this predicament? Deceitful, will Xiang Yu believe in himself again? Isn't that a joke? But what if it doesn't fall? The country has been shattered, the imperial court has collapsed, where should I, Zhang Han, go?
After thinking for a long time, [Zhang Han] suddenly raised his palm, and everyone understood that the big man had already made a decision, so he immediately calmed down and waited for the big boss to speak. [Zhang Han] said: "I have considered everyone's opinions, there is no need to mention the fraud, Qin Chi and Ye Xiong, you two go to Xiang Yu to negotiate first, if the other party agrees to peace talks, we will negotiate peacefully, and the conditions for peace talks are: We represent Daqin, and now Daqin has restored the title of King of Qin; We recognize Xiang Yu as the general of the princes, and like the army of the princes, we are willing to obey the orders of the generals. If the other party asks us to surrender, we will really surrender, but we must maintain an independent formation, we are still Qin's troops, and we will still serve the King of Qin, this is the bottom line of negotiations. ”
Qin Xiao suddenly said: "Dashuai, if you really surrender, I will be the first to disagree!" There are only generals who died in battle, generals who did not surrender and survived! That's what you taught us! What's more, with 250,000 generals surrendered to the Chu army with only more than 20,000 people, this is a shame in the history of war titles! Although you are my mentor, I will not obey such an order! ”
[Zhang Han] slapped the case and said angrily: "Do you think I am really willing to surrender? It's not because you let the Chu army burn the grain and grass materials in the Beida camp, 250,000 people, how much grain and grass will be eaten and used up on this day, do you know? We already don't have any logistical supplies or support, and if this situation lasts for two days, a mutiny is bound to occur! The area around Zhaodi has long been run out because of years of war, and now you have people and horses, and there is no place to grab food! It's not a matter of life or death for you, we have to be responsible for these 250,000 brothers! There were 300,000 people yesterday, and 50,000 were lost on this day, am I willing to watch these living lives die in Julu like this? ”
Qin Xiao had a hard time arguing, and said authentically: "Handsome! I ......"
The other generals didn't dare to argue anymore, they were all thoughtful, in their eyes, the invincible [Zhang Han] has always been the backbone, and they are used to obeying the command of the commander. Suddenly, the marshal actually asked everyone to really surrender, which really made many generals wonder in their hearts, but they really couldn't think of any other way to solve the current predicament.
[Zhang Han] continued: "The generals will listen to the order, Qin Chi and Ye Xiong, I order you two to go to Julu City as soon as possible, and be sure to find Xiang Yu to apply for peace talks in person." If the other side asks our army to surrender, it will delay on the grounds that it is necessary to come back and consult with the commander. Sima Xin, I order you to quickly organize an ideological mobilization, explain the current situation and the final decision of our army to the generals and officers at all levels of the army, and ask everyone to understand the importance of killing back Xianyang and eliminating traitorous ministers. Only when everyone is unified in their thinking will the troops' actions be more resolute. The rest of the generals acted according to the plan, and no matter what the outcome of the peace talks was, we must be ready to kill and return to Xianyang. ”
