readx;?? In the history of Zhang Jiashi's original world, Zhang Han was a person who did not end well. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][].. [>
And in the record in the Qingyu Spirit Book, there are also some things about Zhang Han.
Zhang Han, a famous general at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was a general. Qin II was the Shaofu at the time, the military pillar of the Qin Dynasty, and the last general of the Qin Dynasty. In September of the first year of Qin II (209 BC), he was ordered to lead the prisoners and slaves of Lishan to meet the Zhou Wenbu of Chen Sheng's rebel army, and won many battles, so that the Qin court could survive. He successively attacked and destroyed the righteous army, Tian Zang and other troops approached Chen in Xingyang, forcing Chen Sheng to escape. Later, he attacked and killed the leaders of the anti-Qin armed forces, Wei Qi, Tian Dan, and Xiang Liang, and moved to cross the river to attack Zhao. He was defeated by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, and was defeated by Xiang Yu again in the Battle of Zhangzhen and surrendered. In the Chu-Han War, Zhang Han fought with Liu Bangjun in August of the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), and retired to the Waste Hill (now southeast of Xingping, Shaanxi). In June of the second year of King Han (205 BC), Chengpo committed suicide.
Some of Zhang Han's evaluations in history are:
Han Xin: "The three Qin kings are Qin generals, and the Qin children are several years old, and the killings are incalculable, and they deceive the princes to surrender to Xin'an, and the king of Xiang deceived Qin to surrender more than 200,000 deaths, only Hand, Xin, and Fei Dede, Qin's father and brother complained about these three people, and the pain went to the bone marrow. β
Zhang Sui: "The death of Qin, the princes rose together, rushed to enter the customs first, and Qin sent Zhang Han to attack it. Although Qin has no way, but its military strength is strong, although the princes are sharp, and they are all Wutai, they are invincible to Qin Ming. However, the princes all started from the group of thieves, did not practice military strength, and were from the counties and counties, and they were desperate to win, and they did not know that Qin Zhi could not be abolished. So as soon as Zhang Han came out, he killed Zhou Zhang, broke Chen She, reduced Wei Blame, and killed Tian Dan. Later, he met Xiang Liang, fought hard again and again, and then broke it. Although Liang is dead, Qin Zhirui is also slightly exhausted. β
"Zizhi Tongjian": "Gaozu came out of the middle of the Han Dynasty, Sima Xin and Dong Pengwang were funny, and Duzhanghan stuck to the waste hill for more than a year. As for watering it and then breaking it, how brittle is this enemy! It is a pity that he does not know what to do, and his body and reputation are destroyed, especially for Wang Mang, and for Lu Xun, all of them are the same. β
It can be said that Zhang Han's ability and ending have a more pertinent evaluation in the hearts of many people, especially the words spoken by Han Xin, which proved that Zhang Han's defeat was not Zhang Han's ability, but that Zhang Han lost his own ruling foundation - the people's hearts will end up with a suicide in the waste hill.
And in this history, because of the emergence of Zhang Jiashi, the fate of Zhang Han and many people has undergone major changes.
Among them, Tian Dan is still alive as a turning point, and the battle of Julu, the original three Qin kings and the second, Dong Peng and Sima Xin defected to Zhang Jiashi as an important symbol, which officially made Zhang Han's life deviate from the track of history.
And on this day on December 24, 204 BC, Zhang Han also ushered in the end of his life in this world.
Because after the defeat and trapping, Zhang Han knew very well that if he didn't die, Zhang Jiashi would not let him have a good time, because the souls of the hundreds of thousands of Qin officers and soldiers who were killed by the pit, as well as the curse of their relatives, had buried Zhang Han's ending.
Just like the sentence in Han Xin's evaluation of Zhang Han: "The three Qin kings are Qin generals, and the Qin children are several years old, and the killings are incalculable, and they deceive the princes to surrender to Xin'an, and King Xiang deceived Qin to surrender more than 200,000 soldiers, only Han, Xin, and Peng got rid of it, and Qin's father and brother complained about these three people, and the pain was in the bone marrow." β
Zhang Han was no longer able to integrate into the Great Qin Empire again, and Zhang Jiashi would not let Zhang Han die a good death for this reason. Because he was the regent of the Great Qin Empire, it was naturally impossible to turn a blind eye to the hundreds of thousands of unjust souls in the Thorn Plain.
But even so, Zhang Jiashi agreed to his request and temporarily lent his Lulu sword to Zhang Han.
Zhang Jiashi knew very well what Zhang Han wanted to do with this sword......
......
"Good Sword ......" After drawing out the Lulu sword, Zhang Han couldn't help but admire, he looked at Zhang Jiashi, and said loudly: "Regent, Zhang Mou knows, it's too late to say anything now, and this sword has drunk the blood of Wu Anjun and Wu Zixu (this is a rumor, the sword that Wu Wangfu sent Wu Zixu to commit suicide is the Lulu Sword), so today, you might as well drink the blood of Lone." β
After Zhang Han finished saying this, he put the blade of Lulu Sword across his neck, and he said aloud: "Regret not being !! at the beginning"
Accompanied by the sword blade of Lu Lujian, Zhang Jiashi saw Zhang Han's neck and then spewed out a ball of blood, and then his body slowly fell to the side......
And Zhang Jiashi listened to what Zhang Han said before he killed himself with the Lulu sword, and couldn't help muttering: "I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place?"
After Zhang Jiashi said this, he looked at Zhang Han's corpse lying next to a white horse and shook his head gently......
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
With Zhang Han, who established himself as the king of Han, killing himself near this mound in the southwest of Wanxian County, about thirty miles southwest, Zhang Jiashi seemed to be quite smooth in the following action.
However, the extent of the damage in Nanyang County made Zhang Jiashi a little frightened.
That is, the damage suffered by Nanyang County is no less than that of Sanchuan County.
After constantly knowing this information, Zhang Jiashi sighed a little helplessly: "It's strange that the early Han Dynasty was so poor at that time, it turns out that there is indeed an antecedent." β
But this does not mean that Zhang Jiashi will admire Liu Bang because of this, on the contrary, Zhang Jiashi feels very contemptuous of Liu Bang's purge of internal kings with different surnames after the establishment of the Han Empire, and launched several internal wars.
Because if it weren't for Liu Bang's wars, the national political situation during the Han Hui Emperor period might have been better.
However, Zhang Jiashi was now unable to concentrate on the reconstruction of the northern part of Nanyang County, and had to focus his efforts on the area controlled by Liu Bang in the southern part of Nanyang County.
Because Zhang Jiashi's next goal was to use troops in the south of Nanyang County, and then through Wuguan Road, go south to Dabie Mountain, enter Nanjun, and join forces with Li Shuang and other troops in the east of Ba County and the Southern Expeditionary Qin Army under Tu Sui.
This is the real purpose of Zhang Jiashi's southern expedition.
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that no matter how great Zhang Han's ability was, it would be impossible to resist the offensive of his army for too long, but Liu Bang was different, Zhang Jiashi was not sure that Liu Bang's life would be left behind in this battle.
It's just that while Zhang Jiashi was constantly mobilizing troops to oppress the southern part of Nanyang County, Zhang Jiashi did not expect that there would be a big mistake in the direction of Yingchuan County.
......
On January 17, 205 BC, Zhang Jiashi actually received the news that Dong Peng and Sima Xin were defeated by the 50,000 Chu army under the command of Long He, and the remnants were besieged in Yangzhai City.
What's even worse is that Su Teng was also pinned down by Peng Yue, another general of the Chu army, and was unable to transfer his officers and soldiers to reinforce Dong Peng and Sima Xin's remnants.
The distance between the two sides is not too far, only less than sixty miles apart, but it is obviously impossible for Su Teng to lead the army to defeat Peng Yue and Long Ji, and rescue Sima Xin and Dong Peng, as well as the remnants of the Qin army of thousands of people.
After receiving this news, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but roar: "Didn't Gu warn them cautiously to be careful of the movements of the Chu army?
Sun Po, who heard Zhang Jiashi's words, shook his head gently: "There is no news from the prime minister. And this is not to blame the prime minister, because Peng Yue is a lot of distance away from Yingchuan County, and the Chu army under Long He should be the Chu officers and soldiers under Peng Yue's command. β
After hearing Sun Po's words, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Because there was nothing wrong with what Sun Po said, that is, even they ignored that Peng Yue, who was stationed in the direction of Huaiyang, would go directly north to Yingchuan County.
In such a situation, Dong Peng and Sima Xin, who were raided, were not directly wiped out, and it can be regarded as a matter of burning high incense.
After looking at the map for a while, Zhang Jiashi asked Sun Po, "Where are the officers and soldiers under Han Xin?"
"According to the report of the messenger sent by General Han two days ago, the army under General Han has entered the north of Yingchuan County. β
Hearing Sun Po's words, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but nod slightly: "Let Li Shang and Li Scabies come to the tent alone." β
Naturally, Sun Po and others do not need to do it personally, but under the order of Yu Yong, Zhonglang under Zhang Jiashi will know what he should do.
After about half a day, Li Shang and Li Scabies brothers came to Zhang Jiashi one after another, and after they greeted Zhang Jiashi, they couldn't help but have some doubts, that is, what did Zhang Jiashi do to them at this time?
"Lone now orders you to each lead five thousand knights to reinforce the Su County Guard, and after you arrive in the area where the Su County Guard is located, you will temporarily obey the dispatch of the Su County Guard. β
Zhang Jiashi said this sentence in a deep voice, because it was impossible for him to mobilize too many troops to support the battle situation in Yingchuan County, because once it was delayed for too long, so that Liu Bang could make more preparations, especially in the Dabie Mountain area to build a more effective defense system, then Zhang Jiashi would not be willing to see such a situation.
And Li Shang and the Li Scabies brothers naturally know what they should do.
After they glanced at each other, they directly hugged their fists at Zhang Jiashi and promised:
"Whoa!"
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In Yangzhai City in Yingchuan County, Dong Peng and Sima Xin looked helplessly at the Chu army camp outside the city.
They had originally planned to join Su Teng in a county about fifty kilometers southeast of Yangzhai City.
But the sudden attack cost them more than half of their troops. If it weren't for Sima Xin of the rear army who saw that the opportunity was not good and desperately broke through backwards, I am afraid that Dong Peng and Sima Xin's own lives would have been left in the wilderness outside that county.
They waited for Su Teng to no avail, so they could only retreat to Yangzhai City to the northwest under the pressure of the Chu army.
However, the pursuit and killing of the Chu army along the way made Dong Fei and the officers and soldiers under Sima Xin pay thousands of casualties again, counting some officers and soldiers under the command who don't know whether they were separated or fled, Dong Fei and Sima Xin were able to bring less than 6,000 officers and soldiers into Yangzhai City.
Such a situation made them feel very helpless.
Because it can be said that this is the first time they have led troops to fight under the command of Zhang Jiashi, and such a miserable thing has happened, which makes their mood even more gloomy.
After all, if Zhang Jiashi did not hold them accountable for their defeat, it would be difficult for them to face the eyes of their colleagues.
They didn't know that Su Teng had already received a letter of help from the messenger they sent out when Yangzhai City was not surrounded by the Chu army a few days ago.
They also didn't know that Su Teng didn't want to save them, but that he was powerless, because the enemy he was facing was Peng Yue, one of the five tiger generals of the Chu army, who was no less capable than Long Ji.
In several skirmishes between Su Teng and Peng Yue, Su Teng actually got a report card with more defeats and fewer victories, which also made Su Teng no longer dare to act rashly.
Of course, in these skirmishes, the Sanchuan County troops under Su Teng inflicted heavy casualties on the Huaiyang troops under Peng Yue.
Although on the surface, Su Teng lost more than he won, but this situation is more about the result of Su Teng's intention to break through Peng Yue's formation, not that Su Teng was really defeated by Peng Yue's men.
And Peng Yue fought with the Qin officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi for the first time, and because of the losses in these battles, he lost interest in provoking the main force under Su Teng.
The two sides are at a stalemate in an area about 20 kilometers southwest of Yangzhai City.
......
After Zhang Jiashi asked Li Shang and the Li Scabies brothers to support Su Teng, he once made a prediction, that is, in the situation of Yingchuan County, the Chu army dispatched an army under Peng Yue, temporarily occupying the initiative in the battle around Yangzhai in Yingchuan County.
But Zhang Jiashi knew very well that they still had the advantage in the situation in Yingchuan County.
Because Zhang Jiashi knew very well that as long as Han Xin and the Li Shang Li Scabies brothers could rush to the Yangzhai area in time, then the Chu army would definitely have no benefit.
Peng Yue and Long He are indeed more difficult to deal with, especially Peng Yue, who is good at game warfare, Su Teng will really not find the opportunity to occupy the initiative for a while and a half.
However, Peng Yue's ability to fight in a fixed area should be inferior to his ability to fight in a fixed area, and once Li Shang and Li Yan can quickly reinforce Su Teng, then Peng Yue will also have to use his own shortcomings to deal with the strengths of Qin's officers and soldiers.
As for the situation in the north, especially the rescue operation in Yangzhai City, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that whether Han Xin could defeat Long Ji or not would become the key to the key.
......
Historically, Han Xin did defeat Long Ji and killed the other party, but in this matter, Long Ji died under Han Xin's water attack. This does not mean that Han Xin's ability in the field can easily defeat Long Ji.
And Long Ji, as the head of the five tiger generals of the Chu army, is naturally not just as simple as being brave. Unlike Xiang Yu, Long is a brave and resourceful celebrity.
If the ending of the Chu-Han hegemony can be reversed, Han Xin's reputation may not be as good as Long Ji.
Winning or losing, many things are as simple as that.
But Zhang Jiashi was quite confident in whether Han Xin would be able to defeat Long Ji and rescue Sima Xin and Dong Peng.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
What exactly did Zhang Jiashi's confidence come from, Han Xin, who was far away in a valley twenty miles east of Yangzhai City, didn't know.
He knew one thing very well, and that was that the dragon was indeed not an easy man.
But this matter didn't matter, that is, Han Xin quickly thought about how he should defeat Long Ji and rescue the robes trapped in Yangzhai City.
Because Han Xin's current garrison is located near Yingshui.
Han Xin's plan was to use Yingshui to launch a wave of water attacks to break up the Chu army camp located outside Yangzhai City.
As for the flooding of Yang Zhai...... Han Shin wasn't stupid enough to do that, because now wasn't the time for plenty of rain in the summer.
If it weren't for the relatively low terrain of Yangzhai City, Han Xin would not be willing to use this seemingly stupid method.
Of course, Han Xin himself didn't expect that his strategy would be successful......
......
Han Xin's army was secretly looking for the most suitable place to build a water storage dam, while the reinforcements of Li Shang and Li Zhen were rushing to Yangzhai City, and the two support armies would not be able to change the situation of Yangzhai City for a while.
But at the same time, Zhang Jiashi received an urgent report from Gao Jian.
That is, those people in Xiqiang actually attacked Longxi County directly at this time.
And the reason, Zhang Jiashi didn't know whether to blame himself for his bad luck.
Because Xiqiang's invasion was not voluntary, but forced.
Because the temperature in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region this year is much colder, and Xianyang can indeed feel the chill from the west.
In this case, a large number of cattle and sheep in Xiqiang were frozen to death, and the Xiqiang people, who had lost the basis for survival, could only extend their black hands to the Great Qin Empire and the Huns in the east.
In fact, the Huns, who occupied the Hexi Corridor, were even more unlucky. Because a large number of Xiqiang people directly targeted the Xiongnu herdsmen who were not protected by the Great Wall.
It is said that the Zuoxian royal court of the Xiongnu has had many melee battles with the Xiqiang people in the Hexi Corridor area. Both sides have their own winners and losers.
Like this kind of dog-eat-dog thing, Zhang Jiashi is naturally happy to be prejudiced, but once a mad dog intends to mouth him, Zhang Jiashi naturally has to give this mad dog an unforgettable lesson.
However, Zhang Jiashi forgot a very important thing, that is, the current strength of Xianyang County has basically been withdrawn, except for Yingbu's convict army, which is still being adjusted, the mobile force ...... Basically, he was mobilized into this operation.
However, this matter did not have much to do with Zhang Jiashi, because Zhang Jiashi himself could think of a solution to the problem, that is, the Huns should not sit idly by and watch the situation deteriorate, and he only needed to hold the Great Wall for the time being.
He ordered Nangong Qi, the commander of Shangjun, to lead 30,000 men to support Longxi County, while Gao Jian strengthened the defense capability of the Great Wall area.
Zhang Jiashi believed that when he arrived in the Lintao area during the Nangong period, Gao Jian should be able to defend the Great Wall.
And Zhang Jiashi's conjecture was very correct, under the well-planned high-level defense, the Great Wall became an insurmountable barrier for the Xiqiang people......
