After ticking off "Chu", "Han", and "Zhao", only the word "Qin" is left on the table.

Zhang Er looked at the word "Qin" silently, his expression gloomy.

Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river. In the past, the King of Qin swept the six harmony and looked down on He Xiongzai, but because of the difficulty of one husband, the temple society was ruined. But now it has made a comeback again, and its aggressive momentum is like the tiger and wolf Qin State of the year.

thought that his life's wish was to overthrow the tyrannical Qin, and he almost succeeded, but he fell short because of the birth of this Han Xin.

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Zhang Er sighed secretly, drew a circle on the word "Qin", and wanted to erase it, but the pen fell in mid-air, and he couldn't fall down, and his heart was full of unwillingness and helplessness.

This Han Xin is really the best in the world, and he is unparalleled in the country, and he actually relied on the dilapidated Qin State to fight against the declining trend. I think that the whole world was against the beginning, the princes attacked Qin, and the elite of the Qin army in the first battle of Julu was exhausted, and the four stoppers were lightly trapped, and Guanzhong was in danger. In Xianyang City, first Zhao Gao killed Hu Hai, and then Ziying killed Zhao Gao, and the princes' army had not yet arrived in the city, and the Qin State itself was in chaos.

At that time, the state of Qin was so bleak, the Kwantung was all against it, the Qin people were centrifugal, and all they could command was Xianyang. Xianyang City has just experienced two coup d'état, the people are panicked, and the army of the princes has invaded the pass. At that time, the Qin people themselves gave up the hope of surviving the country, and only waited for the princes' army to come to receive Xianyang.

But it was Han Xin, who relied on the remnants of a giant deer under his hand to escape, and by chance he actually entered Xianyang and became the helmsman of the Qin State, which was about to subvert the ship in the storm.

Zhang Er was silent.

Time also, life also! There seems to be an invisible hand in the darkness, which is in charge of everything. In the midst of the huge deer, the weak Chu army burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness, and completely defeated the 400,000 elites of the Qin State in the first battle, sounding the death knell of the Qin State. But it was only a few months later under the city of Xianyang. Han Xin performed a miracle and forced back several times the army of his princes, allowing the dilapidated Qin State to be saved.

After that, Han Xin's various actions made Zhang Er secretly admire him. He first stabilized the domestic situation, recuperated, and wisely remained neutral in the melee of the princes, and did not participate in any war in the Kwantung region. Later, he rushed thousands of miles to rescue the remnants of the Northern Army under the noses of the Xiongnu army, which not only gave the Qin State an additional new force, but more importantly, reshaped the warlike spirit of victory in the blood of the Qin people.

Collect the county, attack Hanzhong, and defeat the Xiongnu with all the strength of the country. Then Ping Bashu, entered South Vietnam to collect the Qin people left in Lingnan, step by step, methodically restored the national strength of Qin, and at the same time eliminated the Xiongnu, a big trouble. By the time Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others realized the threat of Qin, Qin had already gone through two years of hard work, and its national strength had once again recovered to that year.

Zhang Er slowly wrote the word "Han Xin" on the bamboo slip with a pen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he was proud of his youth and was extremely conceited in his life, he also paid for himself If he was in his own shoes, he would never be able to achieve today's results.

Others may not be able to see clearly, but Zhang Er is a person who understands, and he has already faintly felt that the Qin State will inevitably rebuild a new Great Qin Empire when it comes out of the customs this time. With Han Xin's ability, there will never be any mistakes, even if he is invincible Xiang Yu, it may be difficult to reverse the trend of the world returning to Qin.

In this way, it seems that his fluttering in Yandi is nothing more than adding some episodes to this troubled world. No matter whether you win or lose, it will only be useless and will not change the general trend of the world at all.

"King, King Yan invites you to go to the tent to talk about it."

The arrival of the soldiers interrupted Zhang Er's thoughts, he raised his head, lost his mind slightly, and nodded after a while; "Go back to King Yan, I'll go later."

"No."

Zhang Er got up and straightened his clothes, and then walked out of the camp.

He was born a natural @ loving person, even when he was hungry and hungry when he was on the run, he still did not forget to clean up his clothes and maintain the image of a celebrity. This is also the reason why he looks down on Zang Tu from the bottom of his bones, even if Zang Di is on the throne, he is still an old peasant in his bones, vulgar, vulgar, and forgetful of profit.

It is not too far to go to Yanying, the two armies are separated by more than ten miles, one south and one north form horns with each other, and they are far away from Zhao Xie's Zhao State army against Guangwu. After Zhang Er fled from Changshan Kingdom, his henchmen and subordinates kept coming to vote, although the strength was far inferior to Zang Di's Yan army, with less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but most of them were veterans in the Zhao army, all of them were elite and brave men, and their combat power was far above the Yan army, so Zang Di always regarded this Zhao army as a reliance, so he took Zhang Er in. But he regarded Zhang Er as his subordinates, and he came and went as soon as he was called, and he never regarded him as a prince and king on an equal footing.

It didn't take long for Zhang Er to arrive at the Yan army camp. Seeing that it was the king of Changshan, the guards naturally opened all the way, let Zhang Er go unimpeded, and galloped directly to the king's tent in Zang Di.

Seeing Zhang Er walk in, Zang Di pretended to laugh and greeted him, grabbed Zhang Er's hand and said enthusiastically; "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you for many days, but I miss my brother and me."

Zang Di's unusual enthusiasm made Zhang Er a little vigilant, he quietly shook off Zang Di's hand, the disgust in his eyes flashed, but his face was full of smiles, "King Yan, you are too polite, I don't know what is the matter?" ”

"Come on, come on, sit down first."

Zhang Er couldn't resist Zang Di's enthusiasm, so he had to sit down by him.

"I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks about the current situation." Not long after sitting down, Zang Di couldn't wait to go straight to the point.

Zang Di is a vulgar person, and there is no one around him who can be relied on, and he is only a strategist who counts Zhang Er, so he specially summoned him to ask.

Zhang Er thought to himself that this was the case, and it seemed that Zang Di would only think of himself when he could use it. Although he is a little disdainful, he also knows that the two of them are now dependent on each other, grasshoppers on a rope, if he is finished, he will definitely die a miserable death.

So after a deep groan, he still said truthfully; "The war in the Central Plains has started, the army of Qin has been attacking fiercely since the letter to Guguan, the Chu army has lost one after another, and has lost more than a dozen cities, and now it is holding on to Luoyang and Xingyang, Xiang Yu's headquarters army has also repelled several attacks of the Qin army, and now it is in a stalemate in Chenggao. Although I see that although the Qin army has a slight upper hand, Xiang Yu is by no means an easy person, even if Han Xin can win, it will definitely be a protracted and miserable victory, and there is Liu Bang of Qi State on the side, and the outcome of the war in the Central Plains is still difficult to foresee for a while. ”

Zang Di nodded, and his expression did not change. He actually didn't care much about the situation in the Central Plains, because for Yan Guo, it was too far away, so far away that he didn't bother to think about it. He is just the King of Yan, and his greatest wish is to kill Han Guang to occupy the entire Yan Land and become a veritable King of Yan.

Zhang Er couldn't help but sigh, the momentum of the world affected the whole body, and the battle situation in the Central Plains directly determined the belonging of the world, but Zang Tu didn't care at all, only focused on the battle with Zhao in front of him, thinking that he could stay away from Qin Chu by relying on his remote location. It can be seen that Zang Tu is such a short-sighted person who has no sense of the overall situation.

Zang Di really only cared about the present, and opened his mouth to ask; "Brother Xian, you have been Zhao Xiang for a long time, and you are extremely familiar with this Zhao Xie, I don't know if there is any good way for us to defeat Zhao Jun?"

Zhang Er shook his head slowly and said with a wry smile; "King Yan, you overestimate me too much. Now the Zhao army is huge, the strength is far above us, and Zhao has many elite soldiers, compared to our Yan soldiers. ”

Zang Di's face was full of disappointment, "According to what you say, don't we have no chance of winning at all?" ”

"It's not at all." Zhang Er muttered: "Zhao Xie is a labor expedition after all, as far as I know, Zhao Guo's supply capacity has always been very poor, he is a full 200,000 army, and the daily consumption of money and food is definitely an astronomical amount, so Zhao Xie can't last long." As long as we follow what we discussed that day, the army will be stationed in Jicheng, and you and I will rely on Jicheng to fight each other, so that the Zhao army will inevitably be helpless against us, and it will not be long before it will be self-defeating and retreat from the army. ”

Zang Di nodded, but asked with a look of unwillingness on his face, "Is there no other way?" ”

Zhang Er shook his head, "I really can't think of any other way, and there are many people around Zhao Xie who I knew from the old days and knew my style of doing things." If I design the layout, it is very likely that they will see through it, but it is better to be decent and win by geographical advantages, what do you think of King Yan? ”

Zang Di had no choice but to nod in agreement, "That's the only way to go." ”

"Brother Lao Xian, you have made such a trip, and now that the military affairs are busy, I won't keep you."

Zhang Er stood up, but hesitated for a long time, and finally did not move away. Zang Di looked at him a little strangely and said; "Is there anything else going on?"

Zhang Er looked embarrassed and said a little narrowly; "King Yan, today my general went to Cao Peng to receive food, but only received more than half of the monthly ration, and now that a big war is coming, you can't let my subordinates go hungry to fight."

Zang Di suddenly realized, and quickly patted his forehead and shouted "damn", and then pretended to be angry and said: "Someone." ”

"Yes." Two guards walked in.

Zang Di's eyes widened angrily, "Arrest that dog crumbs for me." ”

"No."

Cao Peng Jia Yi was quickly brought up, this Jia Yi is no stranger to Zhang Er, about forty years old, short and fat figure, walking like a ball of meat. After seeing Zang Di, he quickly knelt down and said in a very flattering voice; "See the king, I don't know what the king is looking for the little one?"

Zang Di waited for Jia Yi and pointed to his nose and shouted; "King Changshan is the brother of the widow, you are so bold that you dare to deduct his rations. Say, is it embezzled by you? ”

Jia Yi's fat body trembled, and he crawled on the ground and crawled to Zang Di's feet, grabbed his trouser leg and cried; "The king is wronged, wronged."

"What's there to be wronged?" Zang Tu asked pretending not to know.

Jia Yi hurriedly wiped away the snot and tears on his face, and said hurriedly; "Your Majesty, you have forgotten, the cavalry of the Zhao army attacked our supply team the day before yesterday, and now there is not much surplus food in the army, and the grain and grass for King Changshan is already the most I can take out, and many of our brothers in the Yan army have to starve."

After speaking, Jia Yi pretended to wipe his tears. Zhang Er on the side sneered in his heart, but he didn't expect this soil bun Zang Tu to be a master of acting. It's a pity that he thinks he is a fool and wants to fool himself with these shoddy tricks.

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhang Er still pretended to be moved and tearful, and said ashamedly to Zang Di's face; "It's all my fault, I blamed King Yan, and I asked King Yan to punish me."

After speaking, he was about to kneel down and ask for guilt, Zang Di hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Er, "What are you doing, you and I are brothers, how can you still do this kind of false courtesy."

Zhang Er insisted on kneeling down to plead guilty, and the two pinched for a long time, but in the end, Zhang Er still couldn't screw Zang Di, so he had to give up.

After Zhang Er left, Jia Yi got up from the ground and asked Zang Di with a puzzled expression, "King, don't we have a lot of food in our army, why do we want to withhold King Changshan's rations, isn't he also our ally?" ”

Zang Tu looked at Zhang Er's slowly disappearing back, and suddenly smiled and asked a seemingly unrelated question; "Have you ever had a dog?"

Jia Yi was stunned for a moment, and replied with some puzzlement; "I've raised it, but what does it have to do with it."

Zang Di showed a smug smile on her face, "The best way to raise a dog is not to feed it too much, otherwise it will want to leave when it is full." And Zhang Er is like my dog, I can't starve him, and I can't overfeed him. ”

After speaking, Zang Di laughed triumphantly, and his heart was extremely proud. You must know that Zhang Er is an important prince and king of Xiang Yu's division, and his status is still above himself. Now he bows down to himself and obeys his words, how can this not make him proud.

.......

Compared with Zang Di, Zhao Xie is much more impatient. In the past few days, because of the unhappiness of the war on the front line, he was furious, so he went to the front line in person, wanting to boost morale.

At the beginning, the Zhao army took advantage of the emptiness of the Yan Kingdom to sneak attack the rear, and succeeded again and again, swallowing the land of the two counties in one go, which made Zhao Xie, who had tasted the sweetness, ecstatic, and urged the army to continue the attack. Unexpectedly, after Zang Di returned to the defense, the battle in Yandi fell into a stalemate, and although the Zhao army had the advantage, it could not achieve a decisive victory. Similarly, although the Yan army also stabilized the situation of the war, it was unable to launch a counteroffensive to regain the lost territory.

The stalemate of the war situation made Zhao Xie bitter, Zhao Guo had a weak foundation, and he himself was not good at governing the country, and he appointed ministers who commanded and boasted about patting horses, so it was obviously difficult for them to come up with good ideas. The expedition of 200,000 troops and the supply of logistics almost exhausted the strength of Zhao State.

Now that the grain and grass have run out, Zhao Jun had to withdraw no matter how it was used.

Therefore, Zhao Xie brought the last batch of reinforcements from Handan, and he personally took over the control of the army, striving for a quick victory.

Zhao Xie was just born in a declining royal family, and he died when he was a child, hiding incognito, not to mention such a luxury as studying. So when it comes to fighting, Zhao Xie is just four rookies who don't enter the stream.

But he took over the command of the army with confidence, and as soon as he arrived, he urged the generals of the Zhao army to rush into battle, but they were taken advantage of by the Yan army, and they all returned with a heavy defeat. Zhao Xie did not repent, still insisted on his own ideas, and kept urging the generals to meet and kill the enemy.

Zhao Xie's unreasonable playing of cards made Zang Di and Zhang Er feel pressured, and this crazy way of playing regardless of losses made most of Zhang Er's previous guesses come to naught.

Relying on its strong strength, although the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, it pressed the Yan army step by step, and finally pushed the battle line to the city of Jicheng, the capital of Yan.

Although Jicheng was the seat of Yuyang County back then, it had never experienced much war, so the city wall was not tall. When Donghu and Xiongnu invaded Qin in the south, they plundered Yuyang County and destroyed most of the city wall.

Therefore, if the Yan army died in the city, it would undoubtedly be self-defeating, and the broken city wall would never be able to rely on, so Zang Di left the main force outside the city, and Jicheng was just a junction.

Zhao Xie was bent on fighting, and frequently sent people to call for battle and provoke Zang Di. Zang Di was furious, he was already a tenacious guy, how could he not be angry when he heard that he was so humiliated. On the one hand, he also had the confidence to feel that it was not necessary for Yu Zhaojun to fight to the death.

Zang Di ignored Zhang Er's advice and sent someone to make an appointment with Zhao Xie to have a decisive battle at that time, and the battle would determine life and death. Zhang Er was helpless, so he had to accompany him to mess around.

Although the Zhao army had suffered a lot of losses before, it still had an army of 160,000. The Yan army's power was slightly smaller, with a scale of 120,000 people, plus Zhang Er's 30,000 horses, which was basically the same as the Zhao army.

This battle was set on a plain eight hundred miles outside Jicheng City.

The sun had just risen, and the grassland had long been annihilated by the neighing of men and horses, and Zhao Jun and Yan Jun were preparing for battle in a neat formation.

The first to attack was the Zhao army, and with the waving of the red flag in the herald's hand, a 20,000-strong Zhao army formation slowly broke away from the Chinese army and attacked towards the Yan army's camp.

The hand-to-hand combat, the flesh and blood are flying, and the screams of the soldiers before they die are endless. Compared with the heavily arrayed Qin army, the Zhao army and the Yan army were almost all pro-infantry, and they did not have the sophisticated weapons of the Qin army, nor did they have such a rigorous sense of battle.

Their offensive is nothing more than using halberds to force the other side to back down, and using courage to face the spears like a forest.

Sure enough, as Zhang Er said, the bravery of the Zhao people was far better than that of the Yan people, and the Yan army continued to retreat under the fierce battle. Zhao Xie was overjoyed when he saw that the battle situation was favorable, and hurriedly recruited reinforcements to press up, wanting to expand the results of the battle. Zhang Er saw that the situation of the Yan army was not second, so he decisively sent troops to attack the flank of the Zhao army, but the offensive of the Zhao army was stalled, and the Yan army took the opportunity to move back to a little decline and stalemate again.

Under the continuous pressure of the Zhao army, the Yan army's formation became a huge groove. At this time, I saw the red flag in the Zhao army flipping, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers, and then a large number of iron horsemen rushed out and slammed into the flank of the Yan army.

Zhao Xie finally came up with his killer weapon, the world-famous elite rider of Zhao State.

Zhang Er in the distance was terrified, and he suddenly realized that this battle was going to be lost.
