Since July of the second year of Qin II, the vast land of Great Qin has been full of smoke, first Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and then Zhou Shi, Tian Dan, Wu Chen, Xiang Liang, one by one, like a carp crossing the river, but finally disappeared in the big waves and sand.

This is an era of heroes, and the heroes who were born out of thin air are like meteors that cut through the sky in the dark night, leaving only infinite reverie and remembrance for future generations.

On the vast land, the iron ride is like a stream, swallowing mountains and rivers, and throwing whips to cut off the stream! In this magnificent historical drama, Qin Jun and Chu Jun played the two most important roles. A proverb of 'although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu' expresses the hatred of the seven million Chu people for the Qin State, and the Chu people acted as the main force against Qin in this magnificent war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. First Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, followed by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncles and nephews, as well as Liu Bang, all of whom were Chu people.

On the territory of thousands of miles, the two armies galloped across the country, the dogs and teeth were staggered, and the soldiers of Qin and Chu fought fiercely in every city and corner, in Xingyang, in the water, in Yongqiu, in Dingtao, in Julu, and the traces of tragic war were everywhere, so that hundreds of years later, the farmers who cultivated could still dig out the white bones in armor from their own fields.

In those chaotic times, whether you wanted it or not, everyone was involved.

The old order was broken, but the new order was not established, and finally, on the banks of the Zhangshui River, under the city of Julu, a young figure used his courage and determination to settle everything.

The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero!

In the chaotic era at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu was undoubtedly one of the most dazzling meteors. If Zhang Han's birth saved the crumbling Qin Empire, then Xiang Yu became his nemesis and pushed the last one for the collapsed Qin Empire.

The Qin army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment, and has just eliminated Xiang Liang's army, morale is high, and more than 400,000 troops are ready to go. And Xiang Yu's Chu army was brought together by various righteous armies, including Chen Sheng's remnant force 'Cangtou Army', and recruits who had just been recruited from Chu. Although this kind of army was inspired by Xiang Yu's determination to have the courage to fight a decisive battle, it was also very easy for the army to collapse, so Xiang Yu had to fight quickly.

One blow, then exhaustion, three and decline!

Xiang Yu deserves to be a famous general, and he soon discovered the weakness of the Qin army, which was at the junction of the Northern Army and the Zhang Han Army. It's like two iron fists, and in the middle is the fragile heart. And he keenly found that the two armies of Zhang Han and Wang Li did not seem to be of the same mind, although one south and one north echoed each other, but they were wary of each other.

And this is his Xiang Yu's chance.

Yingbu first led the vanguard to launch a fierce attack on Zhang Han, winning all ten battles, Zhang Han really retreated to the rear as Xiang Yu expected, and sat and watched Wang Li and the Chu army decisive battle. Xiang Yu knew in his heart that Zhang Han was a shrewd old fox, and he would never sit idly by and watch the 200,000 elites of the Northern Army be destroyed, so once the Northern Army showed signs of collapse, he would definitely send troops to rescue.

So for Xiang Yu, the most important thing is time! Time! Time!

As soon as the main force of the Chu army crossed the Zhangshui, it did not wait for a rest, and quickly entered the battle, and the first to bear the brunt was Su Jiao's 50,000 army. Zhong Liwei and Long He were the vanguards on the left and right, each leading an army of 20,000 to attack the Qin army like two iron fists, while Xiang Yu led the remaining 60,000 troops to rush over with a rainbow of momentum.

Su Jiao's army of 50,000 was originally to defend the Qi Wei men and horses in the east, and the southern flank was covered by Zhang Han's army, so there was no defense. Xiang Yu's army suddenly arrived, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly ordered people to ask Wang Li and Shijian for help, and he himself got on his horse and led the army to resist.

The positions of the Qin army were all facing east, and the south was the land of a flat river, and Xiang Yu's iron cavalry had already entered the Qin army's camp in less than a quarter of an hour. The Qin army panicked, although a large number of soldiers gathered together to resist under the organization of experienced generals, they could not stop Xiang Yu's unstoppable onslaught, and Su Jiao was stabbed to death by Xiang Yu in one round.

In less than half an hour, the invincible 50,000 northern army was wiped out under Xiang Yu's onslaught.

After Wang Li got Su Jiao's request for help, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered 100,000 troops to go out of the camp to rescue, and learned that Su Jiao had been completely wiped out on the way. Wang Li, who was still in his hands for victory, was blinded by the sudden blow, he didn't understand why the Chu army suddenly became so powerful, and he didn't understand why the 50,000 elite of the Northern Army was wiped out in an instant.

He stopped the advancing ranks, and the army hesitated in place, thinking about whether to retreat back to the camp and hold on, or to attack the Chu army in a hurry.

In Wang Li's hesitation, Xiang Yu had already won precious time. He quickly gathered the team that was a little messy because of the strong attack, and because of the big break of the Qin army, the morale of the Chu army was high. The seriously wounded were left behind, and the lightly wounded were simply bandaged and re-entered the battlefield with their weapons. The army quickly rested and continued to storm Wang Li's rescue army north.

The main general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies! Wang Li's hesitation caused the Qin army to fall into a catastrophe.

If it was in the camp, with the strength of the fortifications, Xiang Yu's army would not attack the Qin army so easily.

The Northern Army, which had wasted a full two quarters of an hour in the wilderness, stood in a daze, that is, did not reorganize the army for battle, and did not retreat back to the battalion. Wang Li paid the price for his indecision, and it was not until the Chu army arrived that he hurriedly ordered preparations for battle.

After all, the Northern Army is the elite of a hundred battles, although it is in a hurry, it still quickly arranges a defensive position. The crossbowmen were in front, and the sword and shield halberders lined up behind them, and they were firmly grounded. The Qin soldiers behind the shields clung to the halberds tightly, their weapons were still extremely sharp, and their bows and crossbows were still indestructible, but their eyes were already a little flustered.

Xiang Yu is a war genius, he made the 100,000 chaotic Chu army quickly transformed into a roaring tiger and wolf army, he was lucky to have almost the most courageous generals in this era, Yingbu, Zhong Liwei, Long And, Lu Chen are all outlaws, under the leadership of these people, the Chu army is like a beast that puts down the mountain, not afraid of life and death at all, not afraid of strong shields and arrows, just desperately moving forward! Forward! Forward!

The dense bows and crossbows soon took away the lives of thousands of Chu troops, but the followers were still not afraid, the first was the 20,000 cavalry of the Chu army, the most elite of which was Xiang Yu's 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers, and the iron cavalry in the Qin army was also dispatched immediately, the two iron streams smashed together, people turned over on their backs, and people continued to fall to the ground, and the infantry of the Chu army attacked the Qin army's infantry phalanx under the leadership of Yingbu.

On the battlefield with the sound of murder, Wang Li's face was pale and was supported by the generals in the army, and cold sweat continued to slide down his forehead. It's not the first time he's heard of Xiang Yu, when he was far away in Jinyang, he heard that Li You's 100,000 army was defeated by Xiang Yu's 50,000 army, and he also laughed at Li You for exaggerating, but it was just a vain name.

Now he felt Xiang Yu's terrible, it was also a 100,000 army, and the Chu army was still a tired army that had just annihilated the 50,000 Qin army, but he was the most elite tiger army in Great Qin, but he was still beaten by Xiang Yu and had no power to fight back, how could he not be afraid.

And the soldiers who kept running reported bad news to him.

"Report ....... General Jing's cavalry has been exchanged with the cavalry of the Chu army, the enemy army is brave, and General Jing has no support."

"Report ...... General Zhao asked for help, saying that the Chu army was attacking bravely and that the position was almost impossible to hold. ”

"Report ...... General Jing was killed by a black-armored Chu general, and our cavalry was in chaos and was being defeated. ”

Wang Li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead again, even Jing Jun is dead, whether Xiang Yu is a human or a god. A thought suddenly popped up in his heart, 'I can't fight anymore, I can't fight anymore, if I continue to fight, my northern army will all be wiped out here'.

Wang Li suddenly shouted hysterically: "Pass my general order, retreat quickly, and don't fight." ”

The defeat is like a mountain, it is not too much to describe the rout of the northern army, the Qin army was frightened by Xiang Yu's fierce attack, as long as he saw the black horse knight rushing forward, he thought that Xiang Yu was coming in person, even the square array that had just been laid out was immediately scattered.

Wang Li fled into the camp with the remnants of the defeated generals, closed the camp and defended each other, while setting off the wolf smoke that soared into the sky, asking Zhang Han and Shijian for help.

History is always cruelly joking, and there seems to be a fateful cycle in the dark.

Fifteen years ago, Wang Jian defeated the Chu army in the Battle of Pingyu and killed Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State. Fifteen years later, Xiang Yan's grandson Xiang Yu and Wang Qian's grandson Wang Li met again, but the results of the battle changed dramatically. From crossing the Zhanghe River in the early morning to dusk, it only took half a day for the Chu army to completely crush the Qin army's military spirit and surround them.

Seeing that the powerful Northern Army was defeated by Xiang Yu, the first to respond was the Zhao army in Julu City, and then Chen Yu, Tian Zang, Tian Heng, and Tian Du joined the battle group one after another. Xiang Yu ordered Yingbu to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and the Yan army and the Dai army to besiege Shijian in the north, while he led the army of the princes to continue to storm Wang Li's camp without giving him any respite.

******

There was a commotion outside the tent, and Zhang Han was woken up in his sleep. is old, and he doesn't sleep very well, so Zhang Han specially instructed the guards not to make any movement within 100 meters.

Zhang Han got out of bed and put on his shoes, and was a little angry and wanted to call the guards to drink. But when he saw that the tent door was opened, a gust of cold wind poured in, which made his whole person feel excited, and he suddenly sobered up a lot

Zhang Han saw that the guards were kneeling on the ground in a panic and pleaded guilty, so he raised his eyebrows and asked unhappily: "What's the matter, why is it so noisy." ”

"Back to the general, General Han is clamoring to see you outside, we said that the general is resting and asked him to come back tomorrow, but he insisted on refusing to leave, saying that he has something important to see you. That's why I had to come to confess and hope that the general would forgive my sins. ”

"Okay, I got it." Zhang Han waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

Soon Han Xin walked in, walked up to Zhang Han and knelt down on one knee, and said with an anxious face; "General, I just got the news that the Northern Army is now in great danger."

Zhang Han's face was not shocked, and there were not many ups and downs, just nodded and said; "I know that I have received the news before dark that Su Jiao's army of 50,000 has been annihilated by the Chu army. This feather is really good, if he doesn't do anything, but I'm out of sight. ”

Han Xin was stunned, he happened to be on duty tonight, and he caught a deserter from the Northern Army to learn the news, so he rushed to report to Zhang Han overnight, but Zhang Han already knew about it, so he asked puzzled; "Since the general already knows, why don't you send troops to the rescue?"

Zhang Han looked at him calmly and said lightly; "I have revised my plan and will send troops to rescue the Northern Army at noon tomorrow."

Han Xin's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "General, you are my famous general of Daqin, it is impossible not to know the truth that the military situation is like fire, from us to Julu, it will take two hours to speed up the whip, and if I go to the rescue tomorrow, I am afraid that the Northern Army has already been wiped out." ”

"You think too much, you must know that the Northern Army is the elite of a hundred battles, and it is the Tiger Ben division brought out by General Meng Tian, with a full 220,000 troops, and the combat power is still above our army. Even if Xiang Yu wins, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in less than a day, it is impossible for the Northern Army to collapse so quickly. ”

Han Xin said anxiously; "General, it is precisely because the elite and powerful Northern Army and the confidence of the soldiers are that they are invincible and will win every battle. But such an army is very dangerous, once the self-confidence is defeated, it will inevitably be in turmoil; Xiang Yu saw this clearly and attacked the Northern Army at all costs, just to crush their self-confidence. Moreover, since General Meng Tian was acquitted, the northern army has long been centrifuged, and its morale is much worse than before. ”

Zhang Han stared at Han Xin on the ground, and said slowly: "Han Xin, there is a sentence I have told you many times, I naturally have my plan to do this, I don't believe that my more than 200,000 most elite troops in Great Qin will be wiped out by 100,000 Chu troops in less than a day." ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if Wang Li's entire army is annihilated, I am just as sure that I can completely defeat the heavily damaged Chu army, as well as the group of rabble princes."

Han Xinxin was cold, he heard what Zhang Han meant, even when it was so critical, Zhang Han was still thinking about how to seek power. From this point of view, there is no difference between him and Wang Li, except that one means are higher, the other means are lower, and that's all.

Han Xin still did not give up, and pleaded with a cry; "General, I have a good relationship with Xiang Yu, I know him very well, quite well. He is the kind of person who can drop everything, so he will definitely quickly annihilate the Northern Army at any cost, and will not wait for the general to come to your rescue. ”

Zhang Han's face slowly sank, older people have a common problem, that is, stubbornness, stubbornness, although Zhang Han can be admonished most of the time, but some things are no exception.

Sure enough, he said unhappily; "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, and I will send troops to rescue at noon tomorrow."

Han Xin clenched his teeth, his heart suddenly became angry, extremely angry, he stared at Zhang Han tightly, staring at this old man who had the grace of knowing him and treated him like a parent. slowly lowered his head, and suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed violently on the ground, and pleaded; "General, please allow me to go to the rescue."

Zhang Han stared closely at Han Xin, who was desperately kowtowing on the ground, seeing that his forehead was already a blur of flesh and blood, Zhang Han's face changed from anger to regret.

"Han Xin, get up." Zhang Han spoke with sadness, and was silent for a long time before speaking. Han Xin stopped kowtowing, but he still knelt on the ground, blood was flowing from his forehead, and he didn't wipe it and let it flow.

Zhang Han turned around, stood with his back to Han Xin, and said slowly; "You know what, I'm fifty-nine years old. The ancients knew the destiny of heaven at fifty, and I had no pursuit at this age, I just wanted to ensure that my Zhang family would be rich forever and not repeat the mistakes of the Li Si family. ”

"My younger brother and two sons are not generals, they only have the qualifications of Chinese people, or even inferior. So I know very well in my heart that once I die, then my family must have a strong foreign support, which is the way to keep rich forever. Therefore, I have taken a fancy to you, and I want to train you to inherit my position, and you attach great importance to your affection, and I am expected to be grateful for my kindness, and I will take care of my Zhang clan. ”

"Han Xin, think about it, when the time comes, you have a heavy army in your hands and enough capital to confront the traitorous ministers in the court, even if you want to go further, it is not impossible, don't these make you excited? Are you still unwilling to give up your ridiculous attachment? ”

Zhang Han stared at Han Xin's eyes, but showed disappointment, although he saw the desire in Han Xin's eyes flash, but it was only a flash.

Han Xin still knelt on the ground and bowed his head to say; "General, there are my brothers in the Northern Army, my robes, and my friends of life and death, I have promised to share life and death with them, and it is impossible for me to abandon them at this time."

"The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, General, I am very tempted by what you said, and I want to get it. But no matter how good the fame and wealth are, you can get it again after you lose it, and there are some things that cannot be easily lost. If you insist, General, then Han Xin has no choice but to go alone. ”

Han Xin stood up, resolutely turned around and was about to leave, but Zhang Han shouted at him behind his back.

"Han Xin, I'm old, and I can't do many things like I did when I was younger. You bring your headquarters people, remember, they are all good sons of Great Qin, don't let them die in vain. ”
