Liyang County, not far from the play, Sima Xin is stationed here with his personal guards at this moment.

After Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu, although Xiang Yu named Zhang Han as the king of Yong, he kept him in the camp, and at the same time worshiped Sima Xin as a general, and directly set aside the original commander Zhang Han, which can be regarded as a solid pit for Zhang Han.

It's a pity that Sima Xin didn't have time to be complacent for a few days, and Xiang Yu's suspicious mistake was committed again. The Qin army was bullied by the righteous army along the way, and it was inevitable that there were some complaints in their mouths, which reached Xiang Yu's ears and triggered Xiang Yu's murderous intentions.

Xiang Yu instructed Yingbu and General Pu to attack the camp of the Qin army at night, and the two led the army to block the camp gate, and the Qin soldiers escaped one and killed one, and escaped two and killed a pair. The poor Qin soldiers had no way out, so they had to escape backwards, the valleys were behind, the exits had naturally been blocked, and the Chu army had already prepared wood and stone on the mountains, and when the rooster crumbled far away on the second day, the twilight was twilight, and 200,000 people had all died in it.

Although Sima Xin was unwilling, he could only accept his fate, and after these things, he and Zhang Han had nothing to say. After the capture of Xianyang, Zhang Han went to Xianyang City, and after Sima Xin plundered with Xiang Yu, he followed the Chu army back to Xixia and temporarily stationed in Liyang County, not far away.

At this moment, in the general's mansion, Sima Xin was talking to a general wearing armor, and the two of them looked serious, obviously discussing some major issue.

"You mean, the various villages in Guanzhong have recently recruited armed forces, which Zhang Han secretly supports?" Sima Xin's face was gloomy, and his eyes projected a terrifying light.

The subordinate general in front of him shuddered, and hurriedly explained: "Exactly, the general sent his subordinates to investigate this matter, and his subordinates tried their best to investigate for many days, and finally got a result. Although the various villages have no idea about the source of the weapons, and Jijia Village is also secretive, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the ordnance in the treasury of several prefectures in Xianyang has been reduced by more than half recently. ”

When Sima Xin heard this, his face showed a trace of gloom. What kind of place is Xianyang City, although there is basically no city defense now, it is still difficult for ordinary people to do anything under Zhang Han's nose. Now that the number of weapons in the Xianyang Mansion has decreased, but a large number of weapons of unknown origin have flowed out from the people, Sima Xin listened to these words, where could he not understand what was happening.

"Hmph, Zhang Han has a good calculation, in this way, he can not only bypass the supervision of the kings, but also secretly accumulate strength, but I am afraid that when King Xiang leaves, this pass will be his world."

"But," the general showed a puzzled look on his face, and couldn't help asking: "Of the villages I went to investigate, some of the village chiefs didn't know the source of the weapons at all, let alone the King Yong behind them, and if King Yong dared to do this, wouldn't he be afraid that these villages would turn to rebel against him in the future?" ”

Sima Xin shook his head and said coldly: "You underestimate Zhang Han too much, since he dares to do this, of course he will make preparations in advance." The hidden situation behind this matter, ordinary village chiefs may not know, but the three old men in each township will definitely know a little bit, with the support of these people, how can individual villages turn over any storms. These old guys are so good that you can't ask them anything. There is also the pioneering Jijia Village, I bet it was also a ghost by Zhang Han, although the bandits in Zhongliu Mountain are full of evil, but with only a few croppers, how dare they gamble on the lives of the whole village to ambush? If you want to say that there is no Zhang Han's involvement in this, I won't believe it if you kill me! ”

In fact, Sima Xin's guess was not bad at all, the incident in Jijia Village was indeed instructed by Zhang Han himself. Because the development of civil armed forces is too important, it is not good to take the lead, and it must be proposed by the people themselves, so Zhang Han asked Shicheng to secretly contact the patriarch of Jijia Village and co-directed the scene of ambushing the bandits.

For the sake of insurance, Zhang Han even sent Zhang Ping out, and he took a lot of regular troops to pretend to be civilians, which successfully completed the task of ambush. Otherwise, how can the villagers themselves destroy all the cunning bandits.

Zhang Han's thinking on this issue is very clear, one ring is stacked on top of the other, step by step. Once Jijia Village takes the lead in firing this cannon, the attention of other villages in Guanzhong will inevitably be attracted, and it is time to create a public opinion offensive by itself.

Seeing that King Yong not only did not blame Jijia Village, but even publicly commended the Ji family, which of the other villages was not hot, so that without his advocacy, the militias of various villages spontaneously appeared.

Later, when selling weapons, he used Jijia Village as a bridgehead and the patriarch of the Ji clan as an agent to indirectly develop an offline network.

These offline networks are the former three old sifu and the like, they are all highly respected people in the township, as long as they can be grasped, then the village chief at the next level will never dare to make a second.

It can be said that although Zhang Han did not come forward, he has already held the large and small villages in Guanzhong in his hands through this multi-level network.

Even Sima Xin couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of this plan, although there were no signs yet, as soon as Xiang Yu and the others left, this big net hidden underground would be uncovered immediately, and if nothing else, Zhang Han would be able to complete the integration of the Guanzhong region within a few days.

"This, this is too insidious, General, should we report this matter to King Xiang immediately?" Sima Xin's subordinates were full of incredulity, he didn't expect that Zhang Han's plan in this matter was so deep.

"Hmph, confused, even I can know such a big movement, do you think King Xiang will not know?" Sima Xin's face showed a hint of gloom, "Although I don't know what the considerations are, King Xiang and Yafu have not said anything so far, obviously acquiescing to Zhang Han's actions, and there is no point in us going to tell the truth again." ”

"But, then we can only watch King Yong sit big like this?"

Hearing this, Sima Xin couldn't help but let out a short laugh, like a night owl, looking at his stunned subordinates, a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Zhang Han can do this, why can't we? There are so many villages in Guanzhong, and it is estimated that he has collected less than one-tenth of them now, and in addition to Xianyang, Daqin's ordnance also has a lot of inventory in other suburban counties. Since he showed us the way, we just need to go along. ”

Hearing this, the general suddenly realized that as long as he had a weapon in his hand, it was equivalent to standing on the same starting line as Zhang Han, and as for who could win over more villages, it would depend on the means.

"Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will do it immediately." The ministry will not hesitate any longer, and will go outward.

"Wait," Sima Xin seemed to think of something, and hurriedly added: "You send someone to tell General Dong Fei the details of the situation, so that he can also start exporting weapons." Zhang Han is powerful, and we have to find an ally to fight him. ”

"The general is wise, if you know that you and General Dong are fishing in troubled waters, I'm afraid King Yong will also have to be unwilling." The general slapped a fart at the right time.

"Haha, when it comes to using stratagems, how can Zhang Han compare to me. Go down and do it, this matter is well done, I have a reward! ”

The general was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him and left. Looking at the figure of his subordinates walking farther and farther, the smile on Sima Xin's face disappeared, and his expression became serious. He knew that as the date of Xiang Yu's departure approached day by day, the contradictions between Zhang Han, Dong Peng, himself, and the three generals would gradually intensify.
