The twilight is dim, the remnant sun is like blood, and the wilderness is like a bloody battlefield under the afterglow, which makes people depressed and breathless.

Zhang Han closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, his thin face looked particularly vicissitudes under the reflection of the setting sun. The soldiers behind him looked at Zhang Han's thin body, and stopped talking.

Zhang Han came back to his senses and said calmly: "Say, what does King Xiang command." ”

Although Xiang Yu is not the king, he is just a general under the Xiong Xin account of the king of Chu, but even Zhao Wangxi and Wei Wangbao will shout King Xiang respectfully when they see him.

The heroes of the world know in their hearts that the righteous emperor Chu Huai Wang who is served by the princes is just an ornament, and this world has already been Xiang Yu's world since Julu, and it is just a ceremony to dominate the king.

The soldier was also a little distracted when he saw that Zhang Han had been silent, and he was stunned when he asked so suddenly, and then reacted and arched his hand; "The ....... of the King of Enlightenment"

"Don't call me king." Zhang Han unceremoniously planned his words.

"This ......" the soldier looked embarrassed.

Zhang Han was named King Yong after surrendering to Xiang Yu, he didn't let him be called that, so how should he be called? But after all, he is King Yong, and this personal soldier naturally does not dare to contradict him.

Zhang Han's face was gloomy, and he said slowly for a long time; "Call me General Zhang."

"Yes..... yes." The soldier nodded hurriedly and said; "King Xiang has an order, please go to General Zhang's dinner."

Zhang Han nodded and said; "I know, you go back first, I'll go to the banquet in a while."

"No." The soldier bowed his hand goodbye, and then spurred his horse away. Zhang Han looked at his distant back, thinking in his heart, not knowing what Xiang Yu's invitation was this time.

Since the fall of Yin Ruins, Xiang Yu did not embarrass him, but showed the mind that a hero should have. First of all, he was crowned King Yong, and he has always been courteous to him, and the 200,000 soldiers under him did not deliberately embarrass him, and all the food and grass supplies were no different from those of the coalition army, which made Zhang Han feel a lot more at ease.

The only thing that made him uneasy was that although Xiang Yu named him King Yong, he transferred him out of the army and let Zhang Han live in the Chu camp for a long time, and called him to ask him for advice on the art of war and strategy. As for the reason for this, Zhang Han naturally knows it and asks for advice on the art of war? What kind of joke, how dare the general of the defeated army speak bravely, let alone a person like Xiang Yu who despises the heroes of the world and is extremely arrogant.

He just found a step for Zhang Han to go down, the purpose was to set up Zhang Han's military power, because Zhang Han's prestige in the Qin army was too high, so high that Xiang Yu couldn't rest assured. This 200,000 Qin army is completely the army he brought out from Xianyang, and the surrender of Chu is just a decision of his words, so why can't he decide to betray Chu with a word? Just imagine how Xiang Yu could rest assured that such a dangerous force would be by his side.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore! Xiang Yu understands this truth, and Zhang Han naturally understands it.

So Zhang Han went down the steps for him along Xiang Yu, he was already old, and he was dying! His ambition has long been exhausted in the battle on the battlefield and the intrigue of the court, at this time, he just wants to find a way out for his brothers and a way out for the dilapidated Qin State.

Hearing that Liu Bang's army had broken through Wuguan, Zhang Han couldn't help but worry, because Xiang Yu had promised to let him govern Qin for the king of Guanzhong, if Liu Bang succeeded, it would be full of variables.

Fortunately, Xiang Yu and this Liu Bang did not have the right temper, and when he heard that he had entered Guanzhong in a decisive battle with the main force of the Qin army and wanted to be the king in Guanzhong, Xiang Yu was furious for a while.

Like his uncle Xiang Liang, he has always looked down on Liu Bang, a slippery man, and he found that he was desperately trying to kill Zhang Han in Hebei, but Liu Bang took the profits of the fisherman out of thin air, which made his arrogant character how to endure it.

Fan Zeng, who was respected by him as his father, was also keenly aware of Liu Bang's threat to Xiang Yu's hegemony, so he strongly advised Xiang Yu to enter the customs as soon as possible, so Xiang Yu pulled out the camp overnight and led the mighty 400,000 coalition troops and 200,000 Qin troops to take Hangu Pass.

But when the army marched to Xin'an County in Sanchuan County three days ago, it suddenly stopped and camped in place. Zhang Han was worried about the situation in Guanzhong, so he went to Xiang Yu's camp several times to meet him, but he avoided him, and asked the guards to say that they were busy with military affairs and were not in the army.

Zhang Han didn't know what Xiang Yu was thinking, so he was restless all day long, until Xiang Yu suddenly summoned him today. Zhang Han thought about it for a while, but still couldn't guess what Xiang Yu meant, so he shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and saw that the time was almost up, so he went back to the camp to change his clothes and armor and go to the banquet.

When Zhang Han arrived at Xiang Yu's Chinese army tent, it was already brightly lit, and the sound of singing and dancing was endless. Opened the door of the tent and walked in, only to see Xiang Yu sitting on his high seat, watching the sword dance in the tent with great interest with a wine bottle, applauding loudly from time to time, and sitting under the seat were densely packed with hundreds of army generals with bright armor in six rows on the left and right.

Zhang Han took a closer look and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that these generals were all his old subordinates, and the generals with official positions above the military marquis level in the Qin army were among them, and it was Sima Xin and Dong Fei who were sitting in the front row, and his younger brother and son were also among them.

When Xiang Yu saw Zhang Han walking in, he stood up and laughed: "King Yong, you are late, you should be punished with a drink." ”

Zhang Han humbly bowed his head and saluted; "What King Xiang said is extremely true, the old man admits punishment." After speaking, he took the wine from the maid's hand and drank it all.

Fan Zeng, who was at the top of the left column, smiled slightly when he saw this, stood up and smiled; "King Xiang, you are confused, you told everyone that the time of the dinner is at the end of the hour, and it is still a quarter of an hour away, so how can King Yong do it."

Xiang Yu patted his head and suddenly smiled: "What Father said is right, I am indeed confused." ”

It turned out that the time of the generals invited by Xiang Yu was set at the right time, but King Xiang had an invitation, how could the generals of the Qin army dare to be lazy, and they came to the Chinese army early in full suit. Xiang Yu saw that the number of people had expired, so he opened a banquet in advance when the wine rose.

"It seems that I blamed King Yong for my mistake, Xiang was rude and rude, and I will punish myself with three cups of apology." After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he drank three cups in a row, but he still sat there talking and laughing without changing his face. Seeing this, the Qin generals hurriedly applauded loudly, among them were sincerely impressed by Xiang Yu's arrogance, but more of them were people who tended to be inflammatory.

Zhang Han sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't even dare to say it, and only sat down for a banquet after being polite.

His seat was only under Xiang Yu, facing Fan Zeng, and next to him were Sima Xin and Dong Peng, who had not seen him for many days. When the two saw Zhang Han coming, it was inconvenient to sit at the banquet and salute, so they just shouted 'General' with respectful faces.

Zhang Han nodded, sat down and asked the two in a low voice; "Do you know why King Xiang invited us all?"

Sima Xin shook his head and replied: "King Xiang just said that we Qin people have lived in a guest land for a long time and must miss our hometown, so please come to drink and have fun, and did not say that there is anything to discuss." ”

Sima Xin's answer surprised Zhang Han a little, he originally thought that he would know some inside stories based on the closeness of the two and Xiang Yu, but he didn't expect that the two of them also knew nothing. If Xiang Yu really invited all the Qin generals to gather for such a hypocritical reason, it was obviously not his Xiang Yu's consistent style.

Since the surrender of the Qin army, Zhang Han's military power has been hollowed out, and Xiang Yu successively appointed Sima Xin as the general and Dong Peng as the second general, and let them command the 200,000 Qin troops. What surprised Zhang Han was that Xiang Yu was almost confident about the two, and the army was completely under the command of the two, and he did not send a supervisor to accompany him. If Sima Xin once had kindness to Xiang Liang and reluctantly said it in the past, but Dong Peng had no friendship with the Chu people before, but he could also get such trust, which did not have to make Zhang Han have doubts in his heart.

However, at this point, Zhang Han can only suppress the doubts in his heart, at least the two of them are his deputies and Qin people, and their prestige in the army is not weak, and they are naturally better than Xiang Yu sending a Chu person to the past.

Most of the banquet went on, but Xiang Yu was still talking and laughing, not talking about business at all, just desperately persuading everyone to drink. Zhang Han was full of questions, but he couldn't vent it, and he gradually let go of it after drinking, and he was already drunk and unconscious at the end of the banquet.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Zhang Han woke up with a dry mouth, and the urge to urinate in his stomach was very heavy, so he got drunk and walked out of the tent and found a secluded corner to relieve himself.

Zhang Han's drowsy head was much clearer, and he was about to turn around after Xiao Jie, but suddenly heard a sigh from the campfire not far away, and there was a whispered conversation between the two.

Zhang Han took advantage of the situation and saw that the two were the personal entourage arranged by Xiang Yu for him, and they were sitting by the bonfire to warm up and talk. probably thought that Zhang Han was too drunk, and his steps were very light when he came out, so he didn't notice him walking out, and he was still talking to himself.

Zhang Han didn't care, and didn't want to alarm the two of them so as not to be suspected of overhearing and being villains, so he turned around lightly and wanted to walk back. But he didn't take a few steps before he stopped.

He faintly heard the word 'Qin Jun' mentioned in the conversation between the two, and suddenly became curious in his heart, and walked over quietly on tiptoe, wanting to hear what the two said. He was already a strong martial artist, and he deliberately lightened his steps, and these two ordinary Chu soldiers naturally couldn't notice it, and they were still concentrating on talking.

The tall soldier sighed softly again, and said; "Did you say that this is the time to start working over there?"

The shorter soldier pursed his lips as usual and said; "It shouldn't be so fast, Xiao Liuzi and they have only been moving for an hour, 200,000 people, what a big pit."

Zhang Han was confused when he heard it, but he vaguely guessed something in his heart, and he couldn't believe it, so he had to listen carefully. Seeing the tall soldier's expression and tone of some sympathy, he said; "You said that you are also evil, everyone has surrendered to our Chu State, why don't you let them go."

The stout soldier said disdainfully; "I said Lao Gao, your sympathy is too overflowing, what good people will there be in the Qin people, when they destroyed our Chu State, they killed us with a river of blood, have you forgotten how your parents died? Besides, these Qin soldiers, do you think they will be honestly loyal to our Chu State, just kidding, when they return to Guanzhong, the ghost knows if they can still order them. I heard from my younger brother who was on an errand over there that the Qin soldiers always complained that they had been deceived by King Yong, that we had mistreated them, and that if the Qin State was destroyed, they would definitely become the sinners of the Qin State. ”

The tall soldier couldn't help but grit his teeth when he mentioned his dead parents; "That's right, those Qin soldiers are wolf cubs who can't be fed, and sooner or later they will have to bite our Chu people, so it's better to bury them all as you ordered to King Xiang now, and it will save a lot of worry."

Zhang Han was only suspicious at first, thinking that he had thought too much, but when he heard the last sentence, it was like a thunderclap in his ears, and his eyes widened as if he had lost his soul.

He suddenly hated, hated his own selfishness and cowardice, hated his own reputation for a lifetime, but selfishly made trouble. He wanted to save his 200,000 brothers, but let them end up like this. No wonder Xiang Yu wanted to summon the generals among the generals, just to make the dragons in the Qin army leaderless, so that he could kill them.

He couldn't help but burst into tears, and the cry alarmed the two soldiers, who turned around and looked at Zhang Han in a panic, who was looking at Zhang Han with a very terrible expression with a convulsive face, and stammered; "Yong...... King Yong, why are you here? ”

Zhang Han roared angrily and rushed forward to grab the sword, but before the two soldiers could react, they had already seen blood and sealed their throats, and they almost fell to the ground and died without even screaming. After Zhang Han killed the two Chu soldiers, he strode towards Sima Xin and Dong Fei's camp with his sword, he needed help now, and these two former henchmen would undoubtedly be his greatest help.

Relying on his strong martial arts, Zhang Han effortlessly evaded the patrolling soldiers and infiltrated the camp tents of Sima Xin and Dong Peng. These two people have an excellent personal relationship, and they are friends and brothers in life and death, so even if they stay overnight in the Chu military camp, they sleep together.

When Zhang Han broke in, the two were sleeping soundly, and Zhang Han was slightly relieved when he saw this, which showed that the two were also kept in the dark and did not know.

splashed cold tea on the two, Sima Xin shivered in his sleep, stretched out his hand and touched his face, and immediately sat up and was about to scold, but when he saw Zhang Han standing in front of him angrily, he said deliciously; "Admiral....... General, what are you doing so late?"

At this time, Dong Peng also got up and looked at Zhang Han puzzled, Zhang Han suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and told what he had heard.

Sima Xin and Dong Fei's faces changed drastically, and they looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes. Dong Peng stammered even more; "No...... King Xiang promised us to treat us well, how could he break the contract. ”

"Yes, he will treat us well, but he has no intention of sparing our brothers." Zhang Han raised his head and said with a sad and indignant face.

"I've told you everything, let's kill back now, and gather the brothers before the Chu army can make a move."

Time was pressing, and after speaking, Zhang Han turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw that the two were still sitting motionless, he couldn't help but say angrily; "What do you two mean?"

In the face of Zhang Han's questioning, Dong Peng lowered his head with shame, while Sima Xin stood up and said slowly; "General, I want to ask you, where will we go if we betray the Chu army?"

"Then you don't need to ask, naturally it is to kill back to the Qin State."

"Qin State?" Sima Xin snorted heavily and said; "General, now the entire Qin State hates us to the core, eager to eat our flesh and drink our blood, do you think the Qin State still has a foothold for us? Our surrender to the Chu army has long been incompatible with the Qin State, and if we betray the Chu State again today, the world will be so big that there will be no place for us to live. ”

Zhang Han heard the meaning of Sima Xin's words, his angry eyes slowly calmed down, and turned to stare at Sima Xin coldly; "Then you mean that we only need to take care of our own glory and wealth, and not the life and death of 200,000 brothers?"

Sima Xin faced his aggressive gaze, but he stepped back vigilantly, and pressed his hand on the saber hanging on the wall and said in a deep voice; "General, the person I admire most in my life Sima Xin is you, but you also have to think about us. Our closest relatives are now in the Chu State, and the other relatives have already been slaughtered by Zhao Gao, do you really want us to die and be wiped out? Besides, Xiang Yu did not break the contract, he still treated us with courtesy, why should we rebel against him? ”

Zhang Han took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the blood that was already boiling in his chest, and looked at Dong Feidao again; "What about you, with me or with him?"

Dong Fei faced Zhang Han's direct gaze, avoided his gaze with some cringe, and just said softly. "I'm sorry, General."

Sima Xin saw that Dong Peng was really on his side, and couldn't help but say proudly; "General, we are your subordinates, we naturally don't dare to stop you if you want to do anything, today we will treat you as if you have never been here, please take care of yourself."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Han and made a 'please' gesture.

Zhang Han laughed angrily, he had already guessed in his heart that Sima Xin and Dong Fei must have deceived him when they persuaded him to surrender.

The laughter was full of sadness, and he said 'good', 'good', and 'good' three times in a row, and strode away without looking back. Then came the screams of the soldiers and the neighing of the horses, followed by the shouts of the night watchmen.

When Xiang Yu learned the news of Zhang Han's escape, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly ordered Yingbu to personally lead a light horse to chase after him. He himself walked up and down the camp with some anxiety, and his face was very ugly.

Suddenly stopped, and asked Fan Zeng, who was sitting there with his eyes closed; "Father, are you right or wrong about this?"

Fan Zeng slowly opened his eyes, but there was no trace of emotion on his face, he just said lightly; "Yu'er, since you decided to do something, there is no need to regret it. Your worries are right, the Qin people have already set up a new king, if these 200,000 unstable soldiers return to Guanzhong, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not turn against each other. ”

Xiang Yu nodded and said; "This is still secondary, what I'm worried about is that after the destruction of Qin, if Zhang Han and they have a large army in hand, and we can't occupy Guanzhong for a long time. Sooner or later, Guanzhong will be divided into kings, if this is the case, we will be beyond the reach of Pengcheng once we return to Pengcheng, which will be greatly detrimental to the hegemony of my Great Chu. ”

Fan Zeng smiled slightly and said happily; "You're worried, and I think so."

After a pause, he sighed a little gloomily; "It's just a matter of pit killing, it's too contrary to the ethics of heaven, I'm afraid I'll hurt your Tianhe, and once the 200,000 Qin troops are killed, the Qin people will definitely hate us to the core, and there is no room for relaxation. It's a pity that this place is too far away from Chudi, otherwise it would be okay for us to transfer these Qin troops to Chudi. ”

Xiang Yu raised his head proudly and said; "Father, you are too worried, my life is in me, not in heaven! I, Xiang Yu, stand up to the sky and the earth, so I am not afraid of the ethereal destiny. If anyone stands in my way, kill him! If the heavens destroy me, punish them! ”

"As for the Qin people hating me, then hate, I want to fill their hearts with hatred, and never forget the hatred that our Chu people once brought to them. I don't care about people's hearts, I only care about killing my opponent more on the battlefield. ”

Fan Zeng sighed, looking at Xiang Yu's heroic posture, but he was faintly worried in his heart.

By the time dawn came, Yingbu had already sent someone to report that Zhang Han had sneaked back to the Qin military camp in the night. At that time, the Chu army was falsely claiming that the soldiers had changed their armor, and the Qin people who had deceived them disarmed the whole team and lined up into an open place. Because the number of Qin troops was too large, they had to be carried out in batches, and Zhang Han sneaked back to the Qin camp in the east that had not yet arrived.

When Zhang Han relied on his prestige in the army to forcibly gather his troops and announce that the Chu people were going to kill them, the Qin army was in an uproar and immediately took weapons and followed Zhang Han to rebel.

At this time, Yingbu's light cavalry had also been chased, and Zhong Liwei and Long He, who were being imprisoned, also got the news and led the army to rush one after another, and after a scuffle, Zhang Han saw that the decline was irretrievable, so he had to flee south with 50,000 remnants of the army at night. Yingbu led the light cavalry to chase and kill for a while, but had no choice but to return to the camp.

Then the remaining 160,000 Qin people were all killed, and for a time the sky above Xin'an was wailing. The Qin people wept and pleaded with fear, but the Chu people who executed them were unmoved. It wasn't until the dirt slowly flooded their mouths and noses, making them unable to breathe or shout, that the wails gradually fell silent.

Deathly silence!

When the sun rose again, there was no longer a trace of Qin people's breath on the earth.

Since Changping Bai killed 400,000 Zhao State soldiers, fifty-five years later, the once invincible tiger and wolf Qin army finally suffered the consequences. This move also made Xiang Yu's name of killing gods spread all over the world, and babies and children didn't dare to cry at night when they heard it.

Xiang Yu continued westward with his army of 400,000, and Hangu Pass was already close at hand.
