Chapter 12: The Warrior Defeated

readx;?? For Zhang Jiashi, reaching an agreement with Wang Li and Zhang Han in this regard is actually not a bad thing. After all, although the three forces are well aware www.biquge.info that they may have a battle with each other sooner or later, this battle is not now.

At the very least, Wang Li and Zhang Han, who knew Zhang Jiashi's attitude, both understood that Zhang Jiashi had now made a statement, that is, the battle between them would not be now. Because they have a common enemy.

In this case, under such a premise, Wang Li and Zhang Han will not pay too much attention to Zhang Jiashi.

It's not that they are also relieved of Zhang Jiashi, and they don't have a guard against Zhang Jiashi, but they know that Zhang Jiashi will not be the kind of fool who only looks at the "small profits" in front of him, and once the three of their troops fight in the same room before they have solved hundreds of thousands of enemies, the officers and men, including Zhang Jiashi's Liaodong Army, will not have any benefit.

However, contrary to Dong Peng, who didn't understand some things too well, Wang Li's expression was very serious after Meng Xiao mentioned one thing:

"You mean, General Zuo calls him General She?"

Meng Xiao didn't think clearly about what such a title meant for a while, and looked at the current head of the Wang family in front of him with a little puzzlement: "Master, is there anything wrong with this matter?"

"What's the problem? That's a big problem. After saying this, Wang Li glanced at his henchman, took a deep breath before continuing: "But it's no wonder, after all, you are still a lieutenant, if you are from a higher position, maybe you will also think of a reason." ”

Meng Xiao was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why Wang Li would say such a sentence.

Wang Li did not directly answer his cronies, but said meaningfully: "You may not know, according to our Great Qin's officer title, General Zuo is certainly one of the few military positions in the Great Qin Empire, but in addition to the general, the four general positions before and after, left and right, to promote a general is a matter of transgression. Of course, it may be that General Zuo doesn't understand this, but it doesn't mean that Chen Ping, Zhang Cang and others don't know about such a thing. ”

After Meng Xiao heard Wang Li say such a paragraph, his expression was a little strange, he looked at Wang Li uncertainly, and said for a while: "If you say so, General Zuo is he deliberately encroaching?"

Meng Xiao didn't finish his words, but looked at Wang Li with some uncertainty.

Wang Li saw this performance of his cronies, and shook his head gently: "No, of course, as far as you and I know, there are a lot of things about General Zuo's trespassing, but ......"

When Wang Li said this, he showed a smile: "At this point, that General Zuo, or Zhang Jiashi, who has established himself as the king, is not so much that we think that such a thing will happen." ”

Meng Xiao, who heard Wang Li's words, suddenly looked at Wang Li, who was sitting behind the table in front of him: "Family master, do you mean that the other party has established himself as the king?"

"yes, not exactly. A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Li's mouth: "The other party is indeed self-established as a king, but it is obvious that the value of this new king is probably more justified than the one in Xianyang." It is no wonder that after the death of the first emperor, Xianyang has always taken a resigned approach to the affairs of Liaodong County. ”

Meng Xiao was confused by Wang Li's words again, and he looked at Wang Li incomprehensibly: "Family Master, what does this sentence mean?"

Wang Li did not directly answer Meng Xiao's question, but closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and then slowly said a speculation that shocked Meng Xiao: "If what General Ben thinks is correct, the jade seal of the first emperor is already in the hands of this new king." ”

Meng Xiao, who heard this, was very surprised, because even if he was just a lieutenant under the command of the Northern Frontier Army, he knew very well what the jade seal in Wang Li's mouth represented.

He then thought of something that made him very concerned, that is, in such a situation, how should Wang Li deal with himself?

Meng Xiao knew very well that after the destruction of the Meng family, the Wang family, as another leader in the Great Qin Empire, would not believe it if he did not have a sense of crisis such as the death of a rabbit and a fox. And the good relationship between Wang Li and Zhang Jiashi before made Meng Xiao see another way out for the Wang family.

Perhaps, the Wang family now also has the capital to be sold at a price, and even in this troubled era, they will compete with the heroes for their deer and win the world.

Therefore, since Wang Li told him these things that shocked him, it is very likely that he has already made a decision in his heart.

After a long period of time, Meng Xiao looked at Wang Li and cautiously said the question he wanted to ask: "Family Master, I don't know if you have already thought about where we should go?"

When Wang Li heard Meng Xiao's question, his heart was quite calm, because he knew how he should go, and he also knew that although the Wang family had become the leading military family in the Great Qin Empire, there was a problem that Wang Li himself knew very well, that is, with the current Wang family, if they want to survive in the troubled times, it is not a good way to raise troops and stand on their own. After all, after the defeat and decline of the Meng family, Wang Li, who became the general of the Great Qin Empire, got nothing more than a shrinking Northern Frontier Army.

Under this premise, although the Wang family wants to preserve the foundation and establish itself as the king, although it has it, it is definitely not comparable to many people, and it is even insufficient compared to some of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, which are slightly stronger.

Since the probability of success of such a path is quite low, and the risk is very large, Wang Li naturally does not want the Wang family, which has been passed on to him, to be defeated in his hands.

Wang Li pondered for a while, while Meng Xiao stood respectfully in front of Wang Li.

......

After a while, Wang Li opened his eyes, looked at Meng Xiao's henchman, and slowly said a sentence:

"You will immediately return to Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun with some people to communicate with several local officers of our Wang family...... If there is a chance, directly control the situation in the three counties, if there is no chance, it is to lurk in these places, waiting for the right opportunity, to meet the Liaodong Army, which is very likely to advance westward, and master the troops of the three counties. “

Wang Li's words announced the current path of the Wang family, and Meng Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart after hearing Wang Li's words.

After all, although Meng Xiao is loyal to the Wang family, he is not an ungrateful person, and after being rescued by the Liaodong Army once, Meng Xiao is not willing to be an enemy of the Liaodong Army in his heart.

Therefore, after listening to Wang Li's words, Meng Xiao calmly hugged his fists and bowed to Wang Li:

"Whoa!"

......

Looking at Meng Xiao, who had left his room, after slowly closing the door, Wang Li took out a silk silk from his arms, with some words written on it, and the signature was the First Emperor Yingzheng.

He didn't know why the First Emperor had such an order at that time, but now, Meng Xiao knew very well that the First Emperor's foresight and foresight would always be beyond his reach.

It's not that he doesn't have his own ambitions, but he has now thought through a lot of things, that is, since his sister-in-law Wang Yan became Zhang Jiashi's wife and concubine together as Ying Lian's dowry, it is very likely that the First Emperor has tied their Wang family to Zhang Jiashi's side at that time.

A woman's stay is not a big deal at all in many things. But he knew very well that what the First Emperor needed was this kind of nominal help to Zhang Jiashi.

Perhaps, the Wang family will lose a lot of things because of such a thing, but he has to feel a little lucky, that is, if there is no such relationship, I am afraid, the Wang family can get more now, but once it really encounters something that can be regarded as a catastrophe for the Wang family, does the Wang family have a way out?

He was indeed a little unwilling, but he was quickly relieved, because, although the First Emperor did this, he was taking advantage of their Wang family, but why not leave another way for the Wang family to retreat?

In the past two years, Wang Li has been friendly with Zhang Jiashi, and Wang Li has taken a bias towards Zhang Jiashi's side and persuaded many people in his family. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Wang Li to form a lot of friendly cooperation with Zhang Jiashi's forces in such a year or two.

He knew that although it would be difficult for Meng Xiao to go to the area of the three counties this time, it would not be too difficult to complete the task he assigned to Meng Xiao as long as there were no big mistakes.

You must know that the big clan of Taiyuan County is their Wang clan.

If in this case, he messed up such a thing as his own one-third of an acre of land, and he Wang Li would be embarrassed to continue to be the head of the Wang family.

Therefore, Wang Li can be said to be quite confident in such a situation.

And since he already wants to serve under Zhang Jiashi, Wang Li naturally wants to take out some gifts that can be taken out as a meeting gift.

Of course, it's not just too far, Yanmen, Dai County, the three counties of the Great Qin Empire, Wang Li muttered a sentence after pondering for a while: "Zhang Han, whether it is public or private, you can't be left behind." ”

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

On August 9, 208 BC, Wang Li's army and Zhang Han's army again sent troops to attack Julu.

Zhao Wang Wuchen, who had gained a few days of respite, didn't know what he should say to the so-called reinforcements.

After all, the current Julu City, not to mention that the city defense system is quite seriously damaged, and the lack of soldiers and equipment, maybe under the several fierce attacks of the Qin army, the head of his Zhao Wang Wuchen, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, will be sent to Xianyang to be watched.

(Regarding the whereabouts of Chen Sheng's head, although there is a tomb of Chen Sheng in Mangdang Mountain, it does not mean that Zhuang Jia, the coachman who killed Chen Sheng, will not exchange Chen Sheng's head for wealth.) In fact, it should be about the same, after all, Zhuang Jia was killed by Lu Chen, the remnant of Zhang Chu, who led the army to break through Chen County, after Chen County was lost again. )

He really wanted to break through to the alliance of the princes when the main force of the Qin army was not besieging Julu. But the warriors who didn't want to lose their status and wealth finally chose to stay in Julu City.

In such a situation, King Zhao Wuchen was considered to be self-defeating, and no one could save him in this regard.

......

After two days of fierce attack, the exhausted Zhao army was almost killed and wounded, the general of the Zhao army, Li Liang, was killed, the city wall east of Julu City was first breached, and in the next half hour or so, a lieutenant of the Qin army Zhang Han Department who first attacked Julu City led the army to kill the county government of Julu City, and fought fiercely with the remnants of the Zhao army.

Seeing that things could not be done, in desperation, King Wuchen of Zhao killed his wife, concubine and children, and killed himself with a long sword that was still dripping blood in front of more than a dozen Qin officers and soldiers who rushed into the backyard of the county government.

King Wuchen of Zhao, who had a position in the chaos at the end of Qin, was originally a wealthy family in Chen County, because after Chen Sheng broke through Chen County, his family took refuge in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

King Wuchen of Zhao, who gradually developed in the troubled times, was supported by the Zhao people as the king of Zhao after going to Handan County and breaking through Handan, and then collected Julu, Qinghe and other counties to fight against Zhang Chu.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Chen turned a blind eye to Chen Sheng's request for support for Zhou Wen, I'm afraid that Zhang Han would not have been so easy to defeat Zhou Wen, who was considered a well-fed soldier.

And the military ministers and the ministers of civil and military affairs of Zhao State, including Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, who was touted by later generations, and the short-sightedness of Chen Yu's generation, do not understand the truth of remembering the death of cold lips and teeth, I am afraid that the king of Zhao Wuchen, who is lying in this back garden and dies in the country, may directly face Zhang Jiashi's troops, and it is still unknown who will die.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Julu City was broken, and King Wuchen of Zhao was defeated and committed suicide, such a situation has nothing to say for Zhang Jiashi.

However, as Zhang Jiashi said and speculated, once Julu City is broken, I am afraid that it will be the moment when the coalition of princes in the southeast of Julu County who are "watching from the wall" will take action.

A large number of small princes' troops, who are very likely to be cannon fodder, were arranged to attack the direction of Julu, as the three major princes who are now in the barrier area, Qi Guotian Heng, Wei Wei Bao, and Qinghe Gong Zang Tu, and the three divisions of the army.

At this moment, Zhang Jiashi didn't know what to do.

Because of the arrangements for the alliance of these princes, there is no need for Chen Ping and Sun Po to explain more, Zhang Jiashi himself can understand that these three major princes' armies are obviously aimed at him and are taking precautions.

Faced with such a result, Zhang Jiashi had a feeling of crying and laughing.

Because Zhang Jiashi knows very well that maybe the troops of these small princes may be inferior to the rabble, but with the current situation of the officers and soldiers of Wang Lijun and Zhang Han's army, I am afraid that it is still quite difficult to defeat each other easily.

He had to send someone to command Wang Li and Zhang Han to explain a situation clearly:

"I wonder if the two generals can deal with these small-scale rebellions?"

......

Hearing the envoy sent by Zhang Jiashi say such a sentence, the expressions of Wang Li and Zhang Han were very exciting.

In Zhang Han's camp, the hot-tempered Zhang Ping even planned to cook directly for a military Sima sent by Zhang Jiashi to be a messenger, and Zhang Han looked at the messenger with a very calm expression with a complicated expression, and stopped his son: "Ping'er, don't be presumptuous in front of the envoy!"

said so, but Zhang Han didn't have a good face to show this envoy, and after looking at this envoy coldly for a while, Zhang Han said in an indifferent tone: "In this case, the State of Qi, the State of Wei and the officers and soldiers under the command of Zang Tu, the envoy of labor and trouble conveyed to General Zuo, everything will be done to the other party." ”

"Don't dare. After hearing this, the military Sima hugged his fist at Zhang Han, and then said goodbye and left Zhang Han's camp.

After this envoy left, Zhang Ping looked at his father indignantly: "Father, why do you want to let go of such untrustworthy people?"

"Ping'er, then tell your father, what is wrong with General Zuo's arrangement?" Zhang Han looked at his son and said such a question with a calm expression.

After Zhang Ping heard this, his mouth opened and closed a few times, but he didn't know what to say.

Because as Zhang Han said, he really doesn't know what is wrong with Zhang Jiashi's arrangement. Zhang Ping knew that in his position as Zhang Jiashi, it was very likely that he would adopt such an arrangement to fight.

The main force of the other side was not mobilized, and once the troops under Zhang Jiashi, who were in the peripheral area, poured out, and once a coalition of princes sent troops to attack Zhang Jiashi's back, the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command would be in a worrying situation.

In such a situation, Zhang Ping could only sit back in his position with a puff.

And Zhang Han didn't say much, because he knew that since Zhang Jiashi's envoy had returned to him, it was naturally impossible for him not to know about Wang Li.

And he didn't tear his face with Zhang Jiashi in this situation, a big factor was that he was worried about Wang Li's attitude.

Perhaps, the troops under his command can eat either Zhang Jiashi or Wang Li's troops alone, but he can't face the combination of Wang Li and Zhang Jiashi's two forces.

Zhang Han is not a simple martial artist, he understands that some things, such as the relationship between Zhang Jiashi and Wang Li, are quite close, and it is very likely that they are not groundless.

He was waiting, and he was also observing what kind of way Wang Li would take to deal with this problem.

......

Wang Li naturally didn't know Zhang Han's plans, but at this time, while personally sending Wang Ling out of the barracks as an envoy, Wang Li, who had stuffed a silk bag with some gold beads into Wang Ling's hands, was almost not a brother and a brother with the "family" he should have looked down on.

Wang Li didn't say anything after Wang Ling explained his intentions, but after thinking for a long time, he expressed his understanding to Wang Ling for Zhang Jiashi's choice to do this.

Wang Li knew very well that Zhang Jiashi had some plans to do this, but it was an indisputable fact that the three troops, which were the main forces of the princes' coalition army, did not make the slightest movement.

So he didn't complain about anything, let alone let his military officials do anything.

And Wang Li was quite satisfied with Zhang Jiashi's dispatch of Wang Ling, although he was not the most core position in the Liaodong Army, to contact him. After all, according to Wang Ling's words, what Zhang Jiashi sent to Zhanghan's military camp was just a Du Lieutenant Sima, which made some of Wang Li's thoughts very satisfied.

Of course, for the sake of the subsequent battle and the corresponding arrangements for the future, Wang Li did not treat Wang Ling slowly, and after greeting the other party with good wine and meat, he personally sent Wang Ling out of the barracks, and gave some "not respectful" gifts.

In the background of seeing Wang Ling leave, a smile appeared in Wang Li's eyes.

......

In the next few battles, although Wang Li and Zhang Han defeated the troops of these small princes, these small victories had no way to influence the direction of the Julu battlefield.

And Zhang Jiashi, while monitoring his three major enemies, also had to focus part of his energy on the Chu army, which seemed to be stagnant.

Because Zhang Jiashi knew very well that these Chu troops under the command of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng would definitely intervene in the battle.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Jiashi knew that once these Chu troops officially joined the battle, then it was the time when this decisive battle needed to be decided.
