Chapter 67: Chu and Han Struggle for Hegemony IV
It was the middle of the night
Han Shin picked out two thousand light cavalry
Let them hold a red flag in each of them
Shade up the hillside along the path to observe the movements of the Zhao army
Before leaving
Han Xin told these soldiers
After dawn, I will attack Zhao Jun
Zhao Jun will definitely send all his men to fight back
Until that time
You will take the opportunity to rush into the camp of the Zhao army
Pull out the flag of the Zhao State
Plant the red flag of the Han army
Once you've made the layout
Han Shin asked the adjutant general to give orders to the whole army
It's been a hard time these days
To show my gratitude to you
After defeating Zhao Jun today
We improve our diet
The Han army knew that this time to fight Zhao Guo was to fight more with less
There wasn't much of a chance of winning
Suddenly, I heard such an order from Han Xin
No one dared to take it seriously
After making a wish to the soldiers
Han Xin gathered the generals again
I know you have doubts
But I, Han Xin, have not been fighting for a day or two
Believe me
Now Zhao Jun is in a favorable position
They are also as optimistic about the Han army as everyone else
So before I saw the banner of the generals of the Han army
They are definitely not going to attack us
In order to lure them out of the city for a decisive battle
We're going to make a bit of a noise
Look at me, everyone
I'll look at you
I can't figure out what kind of medicine Han Xin's gourd contains
Han Shin then set it up
Send 10,000 men and horses as the vanguard early tomorrow morning
Set your back against the river
Prepare to meet the enemy
These Han generals also fought several battles
But with their backs on the water
No one has ever seen it
can see that Han Xin said so resolutely
I had to arrange it from my fate
Don't say that the Han army has never seen a backwater formation
Zhao Jun hasn't seen it either
The next morning
Zhao Jun saw that the Han army put on such a desperate formation with a way to enter and no way to retreat
Those who knew a little about the art of war laughed at Han Xin's inability to use the army
I don't understand
They all laughed along
Just wait to see Han Shin's jokes
Han Shin didn't keep them waiting
The Han army raised the banner of a general
Begin the assault on the mouth of the well
Zhao Jun was also unambiguous
Out of the camp to meet the attack
The two sides fought in one place
After a long, long time
The Han army was a little struggling
Han Xin Zhang Er ordered
Throw away the Great General's banner
Fight and retreat
He retreated to the barracks by the river
Zhao Jun is willing to let go of this opportunity
A swarm of people chased after it
I want to squeeze the Han army into the river
What I didn't expect was
Although the Han army did not have much hope for the meeting
I don't want to just go into the water and let Wang Bahui have a meal
All of them are fighting desperately
Although it could not repel the Zhao army
But he also held the last position by the river
Take advantage of this
The two thousand light cavalry who had been lying in ambush on the hill were dispatched
They stormed into the Zhao camp
Pull out the banner of the Zhao army
The red flag of the Han army was planted
The Zhao army was invincible for a long time
I want to go back to the camp to rest
Just arrived at the gate of the camp
I saw that my barracks were full of Han army flags
All of them were shocked
Oh
Why the old nest was taken by the Han army
See this
The soldiers of the Zhao army were all demoralized
Flee in all directions
There was a lot of chaos
At this time, the Han army by the river rushed over
The two thousand light cavalry also came out of the battalion
Under the attack from both sides
The Zhao army was defeated
Chen Yu died in battle
King Zhao was captured alive
Zhao's army was defeated
Han Xin ordered
Can't hurt Li Zuoche
There is a reward for capturing Li Zuoche
Under the protection of the daughter
Li Zuoche was tied up in front of Han Xin
Han Xin hurriedly left his seat
Personally untie Li Zuoche
A seat was arranged for Li Zuoche
He bowed to Li Zuoche and saluted
Li Zuoche was a little blind
this
What a fuss is this?
Han Xin was just about to explain
His generals flocked to him
Everyone came to congratulate the general
Han Xin kept waving to everyone with a smile on his face
Some generals asked
Great General
The Art of War says
Setting up a formation with water behind the water is a taboo for soldiers
But you're not just setting up your back
What else did he say about improving the food after breaking Zhao Jun
We didn't understand it at the time
But in the end, he did win
What kind of routine are you?
Han Shin didn't laugh
Ladies and gentlemen
You've read too much of a soldier's book
I also set up my formation according to the book of war
It's just that you're not flexible
It is said in the book of soldiers
You have to die before you can live
We're a team
The time it takes to put it together is too short
I haven't trained you systematically
Now use you to fight for it
It's not easy to use
You are not very convinced of me
In this case
If you don't put everyone in a desperate situation
You must have fled for your lives if you had the chance
Where will there be a desperate fight?
Not to mention winning
It dawned on everyone
Great General
It's awesome
Han Xin waved his hand
Stand down, everyone
I have something to ask Mr. Li Zuoche
Han Shin sent away the fans
Turned his head to the left car of Li
Mr. Lee
Under the orders of the King of Han
It is also necessary to conquer the Yan State and the Qi State
I would like to hear about Mr. Taka's opinion
Li Zuoche quickly stood up
The general is falsely awarded
Saying goes
Defeat is not courageous
The ministers of the dead country did not dare to talk about politics
I am your captive
Where is the right to talk to you about the world's major affairs?
Han Shin's modest attitude did not change
Mr. Lee's remarks were incorrect
I heard that Baili Xi played in Yu back then
And the kingdom of Yu perished
After that, he served the state of Qin
The state of Qin dominated the world
This Baili Xi is still that Baili Xi
It's just that it wasn't reused by the monarch before
Talents cannot be unleashed
If only Chen Yu had listened to your plan at that time
Then I, Han Xin, would have been a prisoner for a long time
Me
I would like to ask you sincerely
Please sir, don't shirk
Listen to Han Shin say this
Li Zuoche also let go of his worries
I've heard
A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts
A fool has a thousand thoughts
My strategy doesn't necessarily work
General, you pick and listen
Chen Yu has won many battles before
This is also the reason why he underestimated the enemy
But now it's a miscalculation
He was defeated and killed
Some time ago, the general crossed the West River
Capture the King of Wei
Take down the country of Dai
Capture Naxia said
Now he has captured the mouth of the well in one fell swoop
In less than a morning, the 200,000 troops of Zhao State were completed
Kill Chen Yu and capture King Zhao
It can be said that it is famous all over the world and shocks the world
The princes and people of the world already know the prestige of the general
Before waiting for the battle, he was afraid of the general for three points
Of course
These are your grows
But actually
Your soldiers are on a long journey
Ranged combat
It's already exhausting
The general took such an army to besiege the Yan State
If you can't win the war quickly
The exhaustion of the army will soon become apparent
Your weaknesses will be exposed
If Yan Guo can't take it
The state of Qi will definitely be greatly encouraged to hold on to the city
If the Yan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom are in a stalemate with you
Then it will be difficult for the king of Han and the king of Chu to distinguish the winner from the loser
Such is the weakness of the general
Listened to Li Zuoche's words
Han Xin couldn't help but nod frequently
That's what the gentleman taught
Then I'll move on
How to behave
Li Zuoche has now let go of his restraints
The spirit of directing the country has been restored
In my opinion
The general's original strategy of attacking Yan and attacking Qi was a mistake
A man who is good at using soldiers
Will use his strengths to attack the weaknesses of the other party
The general might as well stand still
Let the soldiers recuperate
and then appease the people of Zhaodi
Every day, good wine and good meat are rewarded to the soldiers
Put on a posture of attacking Yan Kingdom
Then send a person who can speak well to lobby Yan Guo
Put your advantages in front of Yan Guo
If I'm not mistaken
Yan Guo will definitely surrender to the general
The Kingdom of Yan surrendered
Then the Qi country will not be able to hold on
General
Use momentum to suppress others first
Then take action when the opportunity comes
This is the way to use soldiers
Han Xin stood up again and saluted
Thank you, sir, for your teachings
And then according to Li Zuoche's plan
Settle the soldiers
Pacify the people
Send an envoy to Yan to persuade him to surrender
As Li Zuoche expected
Yan surrendered
Took down the Yan Kingdom
Han Xin and Zhang Er both breathed a sigh of relief
It's not easy for both brothers
The next thing to deal with is the Qi State
Everyone knows that the Tian brothers are not easy to deal with
Just take a break
Let's consolidate the fruits of victory
Han Xin wrote a letter to Liu Bang
Said to take Zhao State
Brother Zhang Er has a lot of merit
Out of gratitude to Zhang Er
also went out to facilitate the governance of Zhao Di
I hope that Liu Bang will seal Zhang Er as the king of Zhao
After Liu Bang received the good news
Very happy
Considering Han Shin's statement, it makes sense
He named Zhang Er as the king of Zhao
Governance of the State of Zhao
This time
Xiang Yu also learned the news of the fall of Zhao
He was shocked
I didn't expect Liu Bang, who was beaten and half-disabled
can also free up his hands to destroy the Zhao State
and sent out a great army
To recapture the state of Zhao
How can the meat buns that reach the mouth be easily loosened
Zhang Er and Han Xin didn't go to attack Qi anymore
It was in Zhao that the battle to defend the new territory began
In the process of fighting with the Chu army
Han Xin and Zhang Er
and gradually pacified the part of the Zhao State that had not been taken before
I'm still busy
Send troops to support Liu Bang, who is at a stalemate with Xiang Yu
One morning a few months later
Han Xin and Zhang Er are as usual
Eat early and go to the army to inspect
Suddenly, I received a military order
The king of Han told them to go to the camp to listen to orders
What's going on here?
Let's take a look at the front
