Chapter 53: Killing

It's been nearly a month since Uncle Xiang left~! Zhang Liang trains sergeants every day to arrange for the recruitment of personnel! I didn't wait for the news of Uncle Xiang, but I waited for other news! "Childe, our spy has reported that there is already news of the person you put them on their toes!"

Zhang Liang was studying the art of war and the formation, and when he heard Zhang Yun's report, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand! "Say it! What's the news!? Zhang Liang asked eagerly. It is reported that Liu Bang of Napei County has already held high the banner of righteousness! And there are rumors that he cut a white snake, and then a woman cried where the white snake was beheaded, and someone asked her why she was sad, she said that her child White Emperor was killed by the Red Emperor! So in that sad weeping! ”

Zhang Liang almost laughed out loud when he heard this, this folklore is really powerful!! I used to just laugh it out of a book! But now that he has become a great teacher, he deeply understands the horror of this power of public opinion!

Zhang Yun paused for a moment and continued: "Then the three thousand soldiers in Liu Bangde County are attacking the city and conquering the land, and the momentum is flourishing!" At this time, the troops are almost the same as ours! "This hooligan knows martial arts, and no one can stop him!" Zhang Liang sighed alone after listening to the report!

But Zhang Yun's report didn't seem to be finished, and he waited for Zhang Liang to sigh before continuing: "There are two other things that I don't know if they are good or bad!" “

Seeing that Zhang Yun wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Liang was a little curious, and then said: "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, hurry up!" "Yes!" After Zhang Yun responded to the order, he said slowly: "Chen Sheng has taken Chen County as the capital!" The country name is "Zhang Chu"! Feng Wu Guang was named the vice king, and he was ordered to go west to Xingyang! Xingyang is an important passage to Guanzhong, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. There was also a nearby Ao Cang where Qin hoarded a large amount of grain. The main force of the Qin army swore to resist to the death, and Wu Guangjiu couldn't attack it! Not long ago, Chen Sheng had ordered General Zhou Wenwei to lead his troops west to attack Qin, bypass Xingyang, and take Hangu Pass directly! “

Zhang Liang was already a little anxious when he heard this, and the uprising of Chen Sheng in history had reached its peak at this time! Soon there will be a sea change! He hurriedly asked Zhang Yun: "Is there any action within the Qin court?" "Childe is like a god!! The main force of the Qin army was dragged in Xingyang, and the imperial court had no troops to adjust! General Zhang Han asked for orders to use hundreds of thousands of prisoners who served in the Lishan Mausoleum to form an army......"

When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's over~~~~ Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are at the end of their fun!" “

Zhang Yun was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Childe!" Do you mean that Zhang Han's army will break Zhou Wen's army? “

"It's not just a break, I'm afraid that Zhang Han will go all the way east and take the capital of Chen Sheng!"

Zhang Yun knew that what Childe said would never be wrong, because all of this was history that had already happened in Childe's eyes!

"Childe! So what should we do? Zhang Yun asked anxiously!

Zhang Liang fell into contemplation again, constantly analyzing the current situation, even if he wanted to change his life at this time and inform Chen Sheng to be careful, it was estimated that it would be too late! What's more, the trajectory of history cannot be easily changed!

Just as Zhang Liang was pondering, Han Shu came! She looked very excited, and as soon as she entered the house, she shouted at Zhang Liang: "Husband! General Xiang Liang has sent a letter and an invitation! There is also a book of words! "In the past month, Han Shu has been used to calling Zhang Liang her husband! Except for Zhang Yun, even Han Chengdu didn't know what this meant! It's just a common name!

As soon as Zhang Liang saw his daughter-in-law coming, he immediately swept away the haze! Hearing her call her husband was even more excited! When he heard that Xiang Liang had sent invitations and letters, as well as a letter of advice, he immediately jumped up excitedly!

"Good!! It's finally time to wait!! Let's go to the Alliance!! He Chen Sheng withdrew from the stage of history, it's time for us to sing the leading role!! ”

Zhang Liang and Han Cheng discussed for many days, and finally agreed to take two thousand soldiers and set off for the Huiji Huimeng after half a month! Han Cheng, Zhang Liang, Han Shu, Zhang Yun, and Yue'er go together! Wang Fang sits in the base camp! Han Cheng and Zhang Liang are the protagonists of this trip! Han Shu went because Zhang Liang couldn't resist her, so she had to agree! In order to be able to take care of her on the road, I had to pull Yue'er together! Zhang Yun doesn't need to say more, it has always been where Zhang Liang is......

Half a month later, Han Cheng, Zhang Liang and others were ready! Zhang Liang probed Sima Xin's military situation many times and learned that the other party had been recalled by the imperial court, and most of the military horses had been withdrawn! The remaining troops are only enough to hold the city, and they are not capable of attacking at all! Zhang Liang repeatedly told Wang Fang that he must take raising soldiers and grain as the first task! Skirmishes are possible when it is safe to do so! After everything was explained, they set off!

The crowd traveled for about three days, and all they heard along the way was the news of the great victory of the rebel army! All this news greatly boosted the morale of everyone!

"Ovary, what is the current tense in your opinion? The Qin army was restrained everywhere, and they were defeated and retreated, and only then did they hear that Chen Sheng's army had broken through several passes in a row! It is less than 100 miles away from Xianyang! Is the general trend of the world about to be reversed? Han Cheng discussed the situation with Zhang Liang while walking!

Zhang Liang didn't see any joy at this time, but just shook his head and said, "I see that Chen Sheng's army that is approaching Xianyang all the way is dangerous!" ”

Han Cheng immediately showed surprise when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

"First! The morale of this Chen Sheng's army is great, and there is the support of the people, and he continues to absorb personnel along the way, but the quality of the sergeants is not high, and it is thanks to the hatred and enthusiasm for the Qin army that they can fight bravely to have the current situation, but such results are easy to make people proud! Invisibly, you will become a proud soldier! Second, they have conquered the city all the way, and they have never had a large-scale battle and a battle of formation schemes! If you meet Zhang Han, I'm afraid that it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger! Third, although Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, is absurd and unreasonable, he also knows that there is an urgent need and there is no time to delay! As the so-called rabbit bites when it is in a hurry! He was able to listen to Zhang Hand's advice, and the fact that he was able to organize an army with prisoner labor and others was proof of this! These people have no hope, but now that they suddenly have a chance to live, they will definitely fight for their lives in order to be rewarded for their meritorious service! Now this army can really be described as a real army of tigers and wolves! With these three points, I'm afraid that Chen Sheng's army approaching Xianyang is in danger! Not only that, this army is defeated like a mountain, once Zhang Han's army wins, then their morale will be extremely high, and on the contrary, Chen Sheng's army will plummet! When the time comes, Zhang Han will take advantage of the trend and move eastward! I'm afraid that even Chen Sheng is finished! "Zhang Liang's analysis is meticulous and incisive!

After listening to Zhang Liang's analysis, Han Cheng couldn't help but gasp! Then he asked tentatively: "Could it be that this Chen Sheng's army will really collapse here?!" ”

Zhang Liang did not give an affirmative answer, but continued to analyze: "If all the righteous armies can work together and continue to contain Zhang Han's army, there may be a turnaround!" Wait until each family concentrates superior forces, and then leads the army by a person who can fight well, maybe he can win against Zhang Han! It's a pity that now the rebels from all walks of life are separated from each other and go their own way! Even if Chen Sheng is in trouble, I'm afraid no one will come to the rescue! ”

Han Cheng is very aware of the situation of the rebels from all walks of life today, and he also knows the current situation of everyone working in their own way! They are like that, why shouldn't they be?! Zhang Liang's words invisibly said the shortcomings of the rebels from all walks of life! He shook his head helplessly, sighed and said to himself: "I hope that this alliance can change this situation, and everyone can work together to fight against the tyrannical Qin!" ”

Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh after listening to Han Cheng's words! One of the purposes of my trip is also to promote the cooperation of all righteous armies to fight against the Qin army, but it is easier said than done! If the world can really do this, why did they let one country destroy six countries in the first place?!

At sunset, Zhang Liang and the others marched to a village, because it had been discussed in advance, and this march should be disciplined and not disturb the people! So they decided to camp outside the village to rest!

As soon as the camp was set up, a sergeant came to report that some villagers wanted to meet the commander of the army! After Han Cheng and Zhang Liang discussed, they decided to meet the villagers and see what was going on with them!

Dozens of villagers looked all the way around, and when they saw Han Cheng, they bowed and saluted, and the first elder took the lead in asking, "I wonder if the general is the king of Han - Lord Han Cheng?!" ”

As soon as Han Cheng saw that the other party guessed his identity, he smiled and nodded in acknowledgement!

When those villagers saw that the other party was really Han Cheng, they hurriedly knelt down and bowed!

"King Han! We've finally got you! We are all Korean remnants, and after the tyrannical Qin dominated the world, we migrated here! Day and night, I look forward to the revival of Korea! I heard that General Xiang Liang and the clans of various countries elected you as the king of Han, we can't wait to see you as soon as possible! Seeing that the army is here today, it has not disturbed the people, and we chose to garrison outside the village, so we specially went to inquire, I don't want to be really you! Please wait for me! After the villagers finished speaking, they kowtowed, and some even left tears!

When Han Cheng saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone up, and he was very emotional! said to everyone: "It's all because of the incompetence of my Korean clan that makes everyone suffer!" I, Han Cheng, am here to make amends to you! After speaking, he bowed down with his fists and bowed to the people!

When the people saw this, they hurriedly dissuaded them! "King Han can't! How can we accept this great gift, we have long heard that you are famous, and know that you are kind and generous! And he was the first to organize the rebel army to fight against the tyrannical Qin, and he was assisted by the "Great Liang Ancestor"! This is really a blessing for my Korea!! ”

As soon as he heard the people mention Zhang Liang, Han Cheng hurriedly introduced him on his behalf! Pulling Zhang Liang to take a step forward and said: "This is what you call "Daliang Ancestor" Zhang Liang! And my beloved son-in-law! ”

When everyone heard it, the person in front of them was the "Great Good Teacher" praised by the world; The "butcher of the urn valley" in the mouth of the Qin army! Bow down in a hurry!

When Zhang Liang saw it, he immediately felt flattered, and hurriedly bowed down to worship everyone! At the same time, he said to everyone: "How can I Zhang Liang be virtuous, you don't have to be polite!" ”

Han Cheng hurriedly ordered the sergeant to prepare a banquet and plan to entertain the villagers! But he was politely declined by the villagers! The elder who was headed just now was even more embarrassed, and he stopped talking!

Han Cheng and Zhang Liang had already seen some clues, and after a little eye contact, Zhang Liang asked him, "Old man!" Is there something you want us to help with! If you need anything, it doesn't hurt! ”

After hearing this, the old man immediately bowed down with his fists in his fists, and at the same time said with tears in his eyes: "King Han! Master Zhang! Tell the truth! In addition to wanting to pay homage to King Han, we also want to ask King Han and Lord Zhang to save the people in our village!! ”

When Zhang Liang heard this, he quickly helped him up and comforted: "Don't worry, old man!" Speak slowly! What the hell is going on? ”

The old man wiped away his tears, sighed and said slowly, "There is a small city not far from our village, called Yicheng!" There are more than 2,000 Qin troops stationed in it! Since the anti-Qin Fengyan from all over the country has been together, the defending generals in the city have closed the city gate and can't hold out! At the same time, every once in a while, he goes out of the city to capture young adults as sergeants! Not only that, but the general who defended the city also ordered the villages to pay money and grain on time for him to use! My brothers and sisters are all in the city, so I have to leave! But in the long run, the people in the village will not even have enough food to live! But the general still sent troops down from time to time to collect them! What is especially excessive is that a few days ago, they actually asked each village to present ten people's girls! said that it was **** ......" said that at this time, the old man burst into tears again!

Zhang Liang hated nothing more than these fish and meat people, who harmed the officials and soldiers in the township! At this moment, he was clenching his teeth angrily! Without waiting to discuss with Han Cheng, he had already asked himself: "Old man! Tell me how many defenders there are in that city? How often do they come down? How many people come down at a time? When's the next time we're here?! ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's question, the old man hurriedly replied: "My lord! There were only 2,000 defenders in the city, and they were all bandits recruited by the city's generals! Now that the strong men in the village have been arrested, there should be nearly 3,000 people! They come down once every 10 days! About 100 sergeants come down each time! Tomorrow is the time for them to ask for their villager's daughter! They will come at noon! ”

After listening to the old man's explanation, Zhang Liang put his palms together and leaned lightly on his lips, thinking seriously about how to deal with it!

Han Cheng stepped forward and asked softly, "Ovary!" Do you have a countermeasure against the defenders? ”

Zhang Liang only remembered at this time that he had already decided to help the villagers privately! Hurriedly said to Han Cheng: "My lord! Zhang Liang is guilty! I ......"

Han Cheng raised his hand to stop Zhang Liang from continuing! He knows what the other person has to say! I only heard Han Cheng say earnestly: "Ovary! Even if I am an ordinary person, I will not ignore such a harmful thing! What's more, now I am the king of Han! We can't stand by while our people are in trouble! We have to fight this post city! I only have Shu'er as a pearl in the palm of my hand, since the two of you have a marriage contract, you are naturally like my son! Your decision is mine! Don't say more! ”

Han Cheng's words gave Zhang Liang a lot of encouragement! Zhang Liang finally made up his mind! Turning back to the old man, he asked, "Old man, if I ask you to persuade the captured soldiers in the city to submit to us, would you be willing?" “

As soon as the old man heard Zhang Liang's words, he immediately nodded and replied, "Don't worry, my lord!" If only you could save them! I will be able to get them to follow King Han! That's what we want to do, too! It's just that they are now being used as coolies by the defenders, and they are building walls! ”

"Ask again! Old man, please tell me the truth, the defenders in the city are all damned people?! ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said with tears in his eyes and resentment: "Damn!! That post city was originally the place where the Qin court army was stationed when they passed by! Most of those defenders were bandits! They have nothing to do all day long, oppress the people, and even take pleasure in killing people!! I don't know how many people have died at their hands! How many women from good families have been harmed by them!! ”

After Zhang Liang received an affirmative answer, he immediately turned to the sergeant and shouted, "All sergeants obey the order!" ”

When the sergeant heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and replied in unison: "Here!" ”

"Ambush a hundred thieves into the village tomorrow!! Remember! Just leave me one or two! The rest is not to be counted!! ”

"Wow!!"
