Chapter XXXV: The First Crusade 9
readx;??β Don't kill me......"
These were the words of a soldier of Han Guangjun, who was only a teenager, in the face of a heavy infantry of the Qin army. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Wen ^ Library] [].. [>
And this Qin army heavy infantry commander, seeing this teenage enemy, couldn't help but think of the children in his family.
He slowly lowered his weapon, then slowly turned around, intending to leave. But what he didn't expect was that the other party would actually pull out a short sword from behind him at this time, and then quietly approach this Qin army commander.
"Whoosh" ......
The sound of a crossbow arrow breaking through the air came, and the Wu Commander looked behind him suspiciously, only to see that the neck of this Han Guangjun soldier was pierced by a crossbow, and was nailed to an earthen wall behind him by this crossbow.
He saw that a short sword had dropped in front of the little soldier, and he sighed slightly, because he didn't expect that he had almost lost his life just now because of his own thoughts.
At such a moment, a crossbowman of the Qin army walked in from outside and said to him: "Old man, didn't the king order us to kill all these people? β
After hearing the words of this crossbowman, the commander of the Qin army couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the rumors were too appalling.
......
After the Qin army invaded Rongyang, the Qin army launched a clean-up operation against Han Guang's army.
However, in some of the outlying buildings that did not collapse, these Qin officers and soldiers saw a pile of white bones.
There are even corpses near these bones, and some parts of these corpses, such as arms and thighs, have been cut off......
And inside the copper tripod with a slight smell of meat from a pot, it happens to be the lost part of these corpses.
In other words, these Han Guangjun actually took the residents of Rongyang City who were originally reluctant to relocate...... I ate them all.
This situation aroused the indignation of the Qin officers and soldiers. After all, they can't get used to such a situation, because many of them have never experienced such a situation.
Maybe. The officers and soldiers of Han Guang just wanted to live, but this way of living had turned them into a group of living demons.
......
Zhang Jiashi soon learned such a situation from the feedback from the battlefield, and he was not too angry, but sighed secretly.
After all, after he knew that these people were unwilling to leave his home, he had such an idea in his heart. But what he could never have imagined was that this scene that he couldn't understand before would actually appear in front of him alive.
In the Green Jade Spirit Book. There are also many accounts of this, but he thinks that this kind of thing is more of an exaggeration.
Because you can't count on a soul from the twenty-first century. What immunity will there be in this regard.
But once such a thing really happened, Zhang Jiashi found that he could deal with such a situation with a relatively indifferent attitude. In a sense, this can also be said to be one of the proofs of Zhang Jiashi's integration into this era.
In the evening of the same day, the clean-up work of Han Guangjun in Rongyang City gradually came to an end. But Zhang Jiashi didn't breathe a sigh of relief, because he didn't put Han Guang, who died quite miserably, in his eyes.
Zhang Jiashi is worried about another matter.
That is, Zhang Jiashi received a piece of information from Chen Ping, saying that Zhang Han, Shenyang, Liu Bang and other princes in the south had formed an alliance.
Zhang Jiashi is not worried about Shenyang, but Zhang Jiashi is quite scruples about Zhang Han, who is quite strong in military ability, and Liu Bang, who can be called "cockroach life".
After all, people who can leave a record in history. None of them are easy to deal with, and Zhang Han and Liu Bang are even more difficult to deal with one by one.
Zhang Jiashi shook his head slightly, then looked at a map hanging in his tent, and he muttered a sentence: "Zhang Han has formed an alliance with Shen Yang and Liu Bang, so he will naturally be able to draw out his own forces. But according to the recent exchanges with Han Xin and Yingbu. There seems to be nothing unusual about Zhang Han's troop movements. β
Zhang Jiashi didn't know what other plans Zhang Han had, but even if the other party had a considerable advantage in terms of troops, it was not so simple to balance the combination of Han Xin and Yingbu.
Han Xin, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and Yingbu, one of the heroes of the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, are not under Zhang Han. And in the comparison of military power. There is no doubt that Han Xin and Yingbu have fewer troops than Zhang Han, but in terms of combat effectiveness, Zhang Jiashi has the confidence to throw off Zhang Han's army a few streets.
Although Zhang Han is quite capable of using troops, the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command is far inferior to the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire, which was killed quite cleanly by Xiang Yukeng after the Battle of Julu.
In such a situation, it is theoretically impossible for Zhang Han to easily defeat Han Xin and Yingbu.
But Zhang Jiashi is not worried about Zhang Han now. Not even worried about Shen Yang, but worried about Liu Bang.
After all, Liu Bang was able to create the Han Empire for 400 years in the history of the world where he was located. Zhang Jiashi naturally couldn't underestimate the other party.
Although Zhang Jiashi looks down on Liu Bang's personality, it does not mean that Zhang Jiashi will despise Liu Bang.
Contempt for the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically, Zhang Jiashi believes that this point is very reasonable.
However, Liu Bang formed an alliance with Shen Yang and Zhang Han, and it was impossible not to have his own plan.
At this point, Zhang Jiashi himself did not believe that Liu Bang did not plan to do anything, but waited for the day when he led his army south to the decisive battle.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Jiashi thought about it for a long time, and he was wondering what Liu Bang planned to do.
But after looking at the map, Zhang Jiashi was able to think of what Liu Bang planned to do in four more likely, but there were also impossible factors.
The first is that Liu Bang and Shen Yang will support Zhang Han to go north to fight for Sanchuan County.
At this point, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Liu Bang would take any advantage, and Liu Bang himself knew very well that in Sanchuan County, it was more difficult to fight him than in the battle of Jiaxian.
After all, the area around Sanchuan County is very suitable for the Qin army's troops to give full play to their combat capabilities. Liu Bang, who was assisted by Zhang Liang. Obviously, you won't make this kind of mistake that can be regarded as looking for death. Unless, Liu Bang is confident enough to defeat the main force under his command in the area of Sanchuan County.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think that Liu Bang will have this self-confidence, or that Liu Bang will not have such a source of self-confidence.
In the first way, Zhang Jiashi himself vetoed it for Liu Bang.
The second way is Liu Bang and Zhang Han, the troops of the three princes of Shenyang. From the northwest of Yingchuan County, they went north to attack Wei Bao's Dangjun.
This way seems more likely, but now retreat to Wei Bao in the Dangjun area. The losses in terms of troops were not too serious, and Zhang Jiashi himself was not sure that after attacking Dangjun, he would be able to have such a result in Sanchuan County.
Of course, Liu Bang's hometown Sichuan County has become Xiang Yu's chassis, and Pengcheng, the state of Chu in the east, is the capital of Western Chu, gathering the most elite troops of Western Chu.
Even if Liu Bang, Zhang Han and Shen Yang plan to attack the most "weak" Wei Bao, I am afraid they all have to worry about whether Xiang Yu will give them an unexpected "surprise".
Although Liu Bang now has a Zhang Liang. But Xiang Yu's Xichu also has a Fan Zeng, and in this regard, there is no decisive advantage between the two sides.
But in terms of military attachΓ©s, whether it is Liu Bang, Shen Yang or Zhang Han, the strength of the three in this regard is indeed greatly reduced, especially Zhang Han. Some of the generals under his current command are actually incapable.
Xiang Yu killed his last batch of middle-level officers who could fight well in the Thorn Plains Pit, and this influence was certainly very huge for Zhang Han, who had become a bare-bones commander at that time.
And what's even worse is that before this incident, Zhang Ping died in Julu City, and Dong Peng and Sima Xin were forced to rebel by himself. The impact and blow to Zhang Han is also very huge.
Although Zhang Jiashi heard that Zhang Han now has several children, Zhang Jiashi himself is not optimistic about whether Zhang Han can let these children take his place.
Therefore, it is very likely that Zhang Han will be willing to accept the status quo and will not take the initiative to provoke Xiang Yu, who is his former "enemy".
As for Shenyang......
Zhang Jiashi really didn't know what civil and military officials under the other party's command could handle it.
And Liu Bang lacked the "help" of Zhang Han and Shen Yang, so naturally he would not have made a bad deal with Xiang Yu at such a time.
After all, unlike Zhang Jiashi's history, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang competed for dominance in the world, and Liu Bang could be said to have made the most of the geographical advantages.
But now. Liu Bang's control area, not to mention that it is not as good as Guanzhong, and even Hanzhong County and Shu County are inferior.
If Liu Bang singled out Xi Chu at such a time, Xiang Yu might be able to defeat Liu Bang, whose strength had not fully recovered, relatively easily.
In such a situation, Liu Bang naturally would not choose to attack the area around Dangjun, and then take the risk of fighting with Western Chu.
The third situation is Liu Bangxi's expedition to Ba County and Qianzhong County.
However, according to what Zhang Jiashi learned, the aborigines of Ba County and Qianzhong County are indeed very difficult to provoke, and even if Zhang Jiashi wants to attack Ba County in the future, I am afraid that he will lose a lot of officers and soldiers.
Under such a circumstance, does Liu Bang have the courage to attack again in Ba County or Qianzhong County, or even two counties together?
Zhang Jiashi is not a roundworm in Liu Bang's stomach, so it is naturally impossible for him to know whether Liu Bang has such an idea.
But Zhang Jiashi can now give Liu Bang a piece of advice, that is, if Liu Bang himself doesn't want to hit a wall again, those indigenous people had better not cause trouble.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi also heard that Liu Bang had spent a lot of effort to form a building boat corps in the river basin.
However, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that the large building ships in the lower reaches of the river may not be able to easily reverse the flow of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi knew that as long as it was not the second offense of the Li family in Shu County, then the area around Shu County should be quite safe.
Of course, in the last direction, which is the direction that Zhang Jiashi thinks Liu Bang is most likely to choose, Zhang Jiashi said that Wu Rui has to be said to be quite unlucky.
If it weren't for the severance of contact between himself and Wu Rui, Zhang Jiashi wouldn't mind sending some middle-level officers and young officials waiting to be honed to help Wu Rui.
Because if Liu Bang formed an alliance with Zhang Han and Shen Yang, it could also be said to be a disaster for Wu Rui. After all, Liu Bang can now be said to have no worries.
In such a situation, Wu Ruijun, who was in a seesaw stalemate with Liu Bangjun in Hengshan County and Changsha County. It is very likely that he will face an attack by Liu Bangjun with all his might.
If this really happened, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Wu Rui would be able to resist Liu Bangjun's fierce offensive.
And once Liu Bang gets Changsha County and Hengshan County, then Liu Bang's strength is likely to become the head of the princes in Guanzhong. Zhang Jiashi himself does not want to see this situation.
It's a pity that Zhang Jiashi himself can't make this situation impossible to achieve, because he and Liu Bang are not directly bordered. It's separated by a lot of forces.
Even if Zhang Jiashi plans to trouble Liu Bang non-stop, and then the camera will strangle the danger in the cradle. It takes a lot more effort.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the territory Liu Bang now occupies is sparsely populated in a sense, Zhang Jiashi might have directly changed his mind and killed Liu Bang first.
And Zhang Jiashi muttered a sentence at such a time: "King Hengshan, you really want to ask for more blessings now." β
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
Zhang Jiashi's conjecture was not too wrong, except that Liu Bang could not concentrate all the troops under his command, and still left a part of the troops to guard against Shen Yang and Zhang Han. Liu Bang even personally left the rather comfortable capital of Yingdu and went south to Changsha County, where he commanded the officers and soldiers under his command to fight against Wu Rui's troops.
But Liu Bang and Zhang Liang themselves miscalculated, that is, in the further south, Ren Huan did not appoint his confidant Zhao Tuo to take over the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Qin Army stationed in Nanhai, Xiangjun and Guilin before he died of illness. Instead, he let another cronie, a person Zhang Jiashi also know, to take over the troops of the Southern Expedition Qin.
This person's identity is Tu Sui......
......
After Zhao Tuo knew that he was not chosen as his heir by Ren Huan, he decided to take the risk of attacking the location of the Governor's Mansion in Panyu County.
But what people including Zhao Tuo didn't expect was that Tu Sui actually appeared in the county guard's mansion.
This made Zhao Tuo and his cronies couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
It's no wonder that Zhao Tuo and the others were shocked, after all, a person who had already died was resurrected. It's a bit unacceptable to think about it.
However, Zhao Tuo and the others knew very well that the old veteran in front of them was indeed Tu Sui.
"Do you think it's surprising that General Ben didn't die?"
Tu Sui said this with a smile.
And Zhao Tuo and others did not talk, but forcibly launched an attack.
Of course, Zhao Tuo does have the posture of a hero. However, he is still a little more tender than Tu Sui now.
Under Tu Sui's early preparations, the mutiny commanded by Zhao Tuo and his cronies was quickly quelled by the Qin officers and soldiers mobilized by Tu Sui.
Under the desperate eyes of Zhao Tuo, who was seriously injured, Tu Sui gently shook his head at Zhao Tuo.
Then, the officers and soldiers who besieged Zhao Tuo in a small area quickly swarmed up.
......
Tu Sui really thought that he himself should die. But what no one expected was that after his "body" was buried, an old man would actually revive him.
And after several years of recuperation, Tu Sui was finally able to recover most of the functions of his body, but that kind of injury, even the old man could not completely cure it.
Tu Sui wanted to repay the old man for saving his life, but the old man shook his head and said, "Maybe...... The person you want to thank is not an old man, but a young man. If it weren't for his sudden appearance, your fate would have really ended when that day came. β
"I don't know what the old man's name is?" Tu Sui still didn't want to owe the other party a life-saving grace, but tactfully asked the other party's name, and then sought an opportunity to repay the other party.
The old man shook his head, but smiled and said: "The old man is just an idle cloud and wild crane, if you really want to repay the old man, then, can you go to Panyu County to find Ren Huan?"
After the old man said this, he left the place where Tu Sui was healing.
After Tu Sui descended the mountain, he bowed deeply to the thatched hut on the mountain before leaving this place.
He could not have known that this old man, who was skilled in medicine, had seen him leave on a mountain peak, and then the old man looked up at the sky:
"It's time too. β
After the old man said this, his figure disappeared directly from the position of this mountain peak.
......
In the following days, Tu Sui hid his identity and came to Panyu County.
But after Ren Huan saw him, he almost didn't scream, if Tu Sui hadn't given him a look directly, I'm afraid Ren Huan would really scream.
And in the basement of Ren Huan's County Governor's Mansion, Ren Huan listened to Tu Sui's words in surprise, he couldn't believe that there was really someone in this world who could save the dead.
But he didn't have any resistance to Tu Sui's idea, but directly used some disguise techniques to change Tu Sui's appearance.
When Ren Huan was seriously ill, Tu Sui took over most of the military power in Panyu County and the three southern counties. Even the First Emperor Yingzheng did not have the slightest news about this matter. (To be continued.)
