With the help of the Qin army, after Li Zhan crossed the river, he soon launched an offensive against Huiji County along the line of the river. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNew, Dagger, Odd, Chinese, Text, Net, First, Hair.

With Yu Da's help, Li Hunt's troops' offensive did not encounter too strong resistance.

After Xiang Yu led his army to reinforce the Eastern Qi Dynasty, Li Hunt launched a fierce offensive against Huiji County with several entrenched counties.

According to the general of the Chu army who guarded Huiji County, he was a relatively famous Xiang Tuo among the Xiang clan.

In Zhang Jiashi's original world, he is also called "Xiang Tuo" in the history books. The children of the Xiang family have outstanding political talents. Xiang He was first the Wei Xiang and then the Zhu State (equivalent to the deputy Ling Yin), and was an important clan backbone in Xiang Yu's forces. In 206 BC, Liu Bang, the king of Han, raised troops to pacify the three Qins, and the Chu general Long and Wei Xiangxiang failed in the battle with the Han general Guan Ying in the south of Dingtao. Later, he was captured by Liu Bang's subordinates in Pengcheng.

But if Zhang Jiashi knew that another person was actually in Huiji, then he would definitely not be optimistic about this arrangement in the Yuzi period, that is, in this place in Huiji County, in addition to one Xiang Tuo, there is actually a young leader of the Xiang family, and even Xiang Sheng, who can compare one or two with Xiang Zhuang.

In the corresponding historical records, when Tian Guang, the king of Qi, was defeated by Han Xin and fled to Gaomi, he asked the Chu army for help, and Xiang Yu then ordered Long Ji, Xiang Sheng, Zhou Lan and Liugongxuan to lead the Chu army to claim 200,000 rescues, but Long He was defeated and killed by Han Xin in Weishui because of the light enemy, and the Chu army was almost wiped out. When the Han army reneged on the contract to pursue Xiang Yu, Han Xin also led an army of 300,000 from Qi to the south, and the pioneer Guan Ying crossed the Huai River and captured a large area of Chu until Guangling, Xiang Yu let Xiang Sheng and Xue Gong and Tan Gong lead the army to re-pacify Huaibei, and Guan Ying led the army to cross the Huai River again to counterattack, defeat Xiang Sheng in Xiapi, and kill Xue Gong. He did not participate in the battle of Qixia and his whereabouts are unknown.

From the above records, it can be seen that Xiang Sheng, in addition to his ability is not too bad, he is worthy of Xiang Yu's trust in many aspects.

If Xiang Sheng is a general from the Xiang family, then he is the prime minister of the Xiang family itself. Xiang He is like Liu Bang's Xiao He to Xiang Yu. It's a pity that Xiang Yu didn't pay attention to the security of the rear, and let Liu Bang lead an army of 600,000 to capture the capital Pengcheng. Later generations believe that this is also the biggest reason for Xiang Yu's loss to Liu Bang in the dispute between Chu and Han, and there is no stable rear.

In this world, Xiang He and Xiang Tuo are actually brothers, and after Xiang Yu set out on the expedition, in order to deal with the possibility that the Qin army might launch an offensive against the Huiji County area from Minzhong County, and make the Jiangdong region relatively stable, Xiang Yu finally let Xiang He serve as the county guard of Huiji, and let Xiang Sheng and Zhou Lan assist from the side.

Xiang Sheng stayed in Huiji County to assist Xiang Tuo, while Zhou Lan was stationed in the East China Sea to prevent the Qin army from attacking the eastern part of Huiji to the north.

Therefore, Li Hunt did not know that the enemy he was going to face was actually an existence that was difficult for his current power to match.

But with Yu Da, then everything will be quite simple.

......

Huiji County, also known as Shanyin County, was destroyed by Qin in the twenty-fourth year of the reign of King Qin (223 BC). In the twenty-fifth year (222 BC), the Qin general Wang Jian "fixed the south of the Jingjiang River, descended to the Yue Jun, and placed Huiji County". This is the first time that Huiji County has been seen in historical records. Huiji County was the hometown of the Yue State during the Warring States Period, and Wu (now Suzhou) was the capital of the Yue State after the destruction of the Wu State, and the economy and politics were relatively developed, so the Qin Dynasty took Wu County (Gusu District, Suzhou City) as the seat of governance (equivalent to the capital). In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang toured to the southern territory of Huiji County, the "Great Yue" in present-day Shaoxing, and renamed it Shanyin.

When Huiji County was first established, it owned Wu and Yue, which roughly corresponded to the south of the Yangtze River in present-day Jiangsu, the southeast of Anhui, the west of Shanghai, and the north of Zhejiang. In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang (221 years ago), the world was divided into 36 counties, and the western part of Ji County was placed in the old county, and its jurisdiction was slightly the same as that of Danyang County in the Han Dynasty, which was roughly equivalent to the current Nanjing City, the northwest corner of Zhejiang and the southeast of Anhui.

In the early Han Dynasty, Huiji County was also known as Wu County. In the first month of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (202 years ago), Liu Bangxi Qi King Han Xin was the king of Chu, and the Donghai County, Huiji County, Surabaya County, Xue County, and Chen County of Qin were placed in the Chu State, all of which were under Pi, and Han Xin was abolished as the Marquis of Huaiyin in the following year. In the first month of the sixth year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty (201 BC), Liu Jia was appointed as the king of Jing, placed the state of Jing, and led "the fifty-three counties of Dongyang County, Yan County, and Wu County (Huiji)", which is equivalent to the south of the Huai River in Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and the north of Zhejiang Province. In the eleventh year of Emperor Gao (196 BC), King Jia of Jing was killed by Yingbu, the king of Huainan. In the following year, Liu Bi was established as the king of Wu, placed Wu State, and led Liu Jia Jingguo to his hometown. In the third year of Emperor Jing (154 years ago), the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was leveled, and the soldiers of Wu Wangbi were defeated and died, and the Wu State was removed. Emperor Jing migrated to Runan King Liu Fei as the king of Jiangdu, and divided Dongyang County and Yan County of Wu State into Jiangdu Kingdom. Huiji County belongs to the Han Dynasty.

And "Huiji Shanyin" refers to Shaoxing.

There is another theory, that is, Huiji County started in the Southern Dynasty Chen Hou Zhu (583~589), the Yuyu domain is difficult to govern, and the eastern part of Shanyin is placed in Huiji County (one is said to be in Yongding, that is, 557~558), then there are two counties of Huiji and Shanyin, and now set up Yuecheng District and Keqiao District of Shaoxing City. It belongs to Huiji County.

The dividing line between Shanyin and Huiji counties in the city of Shaoxing is the Fuhe River that runs through the north and south of the city, starting from Zhilimen (South Gate) in the south and reaching Chang'anmen in the north, and there are about 10 bridges connecting the mountains and Huibi counties (Baojia Bridge, Shezi Bridge, Dayun Bridge, Qingdao Bridge, Xianxi Bridge, Xiaojiang Bridge, Xiangqiao, Xianning Bridge, Anning Bridge, etc.). Hexi is Shanyin County, and Hedong is Huiji County.

......

At this time, Huiji City, that is, the seat of the county administration of Huiji County, the Chu army had to desperately resist the onslaught launched by Li Hunt's troops on Huiji County.

However, due to the turmoil in the Koto region during these years, the situation in Huiji County is actually quite bad.

If Huiji County was peaceful before it was seized from the Great Qin Empire by Xiang Chu's forces, then Huiji County at this time would not be so good.

As one of the foundations of the Chu family, the situation in Huiji County can be said to be quite complicated, many of Xiang Yu is unconvinced of the Chu family, and many of Xiang Chu's orders are more to take various ways to deal with it.

This is also the willingness of Xiang Yu to finally hope that Xiang Tuo, who is relatively politically capable, will serve as the county guard of Huiji County after thinking about many things.

After all, at such a time now, the place of Huiji County is already regarded as the strategic depth of the Chu State, and if even Huiji County is lost, then the situation of the Chu State will be even worse.

Before Xiang Yu sent out his troops, it was not that he did not receive the news about Li Hunt's uprising, but he did not care about this kind of rabble that did not stay in place and occupied the mountain as the king.

And it was precisely because of this that Xiang Yu didn't want his current considerable strength to be consumed by the other party in a battle with an enemy like Li Hunt.

Therefore, Xiang Yu didn't know about this situation, but he didn't pay too much attention to Li Hunt.

However, it was because of what happened that Xiang Yu quickly tasted the result of being too light on Li Hunt.

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

The defense system of Huiji County is relatively perfect, and Xiang Sheng, who assists Xiang Tuo in defending the city, is not incompetent.

But Xiang Sheng was too young at this time, and he could be regarded as the leader of the Yu family, and even Zhang Jiashi thought that if Yu Da could lead an army alone, he would have no less ability than Yingbu and others.

This evaluation is not too much for Yu Da, but almost just right.

In the offensive and defensive battles of Huiji County in the past few years, Yu Da made great contributions to the Yu family and the Great Qin Empire to defend Huiji County for a period of time.

If it weren't for the fact that the strength of Huiji County at that time was indeed seriously insufficient, and the number of rebel troops attacking the city was quite large, which caused Yu Da to quickly take care of one thing and lose the other, I am afraid that it would be very difficult for Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu and others to take Huiji County lightly.

Although Xiang Sheng has gradually revealed his spearhead at this time, in terms of experience, Xiang Sheng has not led the operation of a force, but more from following Xiang Yu or other high-level Xiang Chu to fight and fight, so in the case of being the commander of Huiji County, Xiang Sheng's actual combat experience is the biggest weakness.

Of course, Yu Da did not have any good way to improve the combat effectiveness of the other party against the large number of rabble under Li Hunting, and while these people crossed the river, they also obtained the inventory and equipment from Nanjun and Hengshan County to seize Liu Bangjun's inventory, and they were no longer the kind of civilians who were extremely short of weapons.

But Yu Da knew very well that 10,000 people to attack Huiji was actually enough.

He didn't plan to completely count on these 10,000 people to attack Huiji County, but adopted another way to attack Huiji.

That's the combination of inside and outside.

Before Li Hunt's troops crossed the river, Yu Da sent several of his cronies, or servants who were also loyal to the Yu family, to infiltrate Huiji County.

According to Yu Da's arrangement, they will cooperate with some small families in Huiji County who are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light to seize a certain city gate in Huiji County.

And although Yu Da was also a little worried, that is, although these small families said so, he couldn't determine whether these people were willing to do such a thing.

You must know one thing, that is, these small families are not so easy to get along with.

But after thinking about the situation of Li Hunt's troops, Yu Da thought that even if this arrangement completely failed, they would not lose anything.

Therefore, after launching the third day of the offensive against Huiji County, Yu Da and Li Hunt launched a fierce attack on the West Gate instead of attacking Huiji County in the past two days.

Yu Da personally commanded the onslaught troops to attack the west gate, while Li Hunt led a relatively well-equipped army to lurk from the east gate, waiting for the opportunity to pick up the people who opened the city gate.

In fact, Li Hunt was quite clear about Yu Da's plan. But he also didn't think there would be anything wrong with him commanding these troops. After all, he is not stupid, and he will not be easily fooled.

......

For a period of time after Li Hunt led a force to lurk in the east of Huiji County, a tragic battle took place on the eastern wall of Huiji.

More than 300 armed soldiers, under the command of several Yu family disciples, got into a melee with the Chu officers and soldiers defending the city.

And because the strength of Huiji County itself was insufficient, after Yu Da launched a fierce attack on the west of Huiji County, Xiang Sheng had to transfer troops from several other city gates to reinforce the defense of Ximen.

This is also one of the plans of those Yu family members.

At the east gate, where there were less than a few hundred people left to defend, the defenders of the Chu army, who did not expect that they would be attacked by people behind them, did not have time to react at all, and these personnel gradually seized control of the city gate.

Huiji County, which can be regarded as a large city, does not have things like the cities in the Central Plains, where Qianjun Gates and other things are often set up at the city gates.

If there was such a thing in Huiji County at that time, I am afraid that Yu Ziqi himself would not be able to run out of Huiji.

After killing the Chu officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, several Yu family guests quickly opened the east gate, and then an officer and soldier raised fire to Li Hunt lurking outside in the passage of the city gate.

After Li Hunt saw the signal, although he still had some scruples in his heart, he knew very well that if he wanted to capture Huiji County, this would be the best opportunity.

So Li Hunt led a thousand officers and soldiers who followed him and entered Huiji County.

Xiang Sheng soon discovered this situation, and he hurriedly sent several of his officers to lead a part of his troops to counterattack the Li Hunting Department that had entered Huiji County.

But he soon discovered that it was actually very inappropriate for him to do so, because they still had the main force led by Yu Da in front of them.

After quickly judging that the situation was unfavorable, Xiang Sheng directly roared out a sentence: "A few of you will lead two hundred people to take over the county guard, and General Ben will continue to resist the offensive of these chaotic troops in this place. ”

Xiang Sheng's judgment was quite correct, because in the current situation, it was impossible for them to repel Li Hunt's army that had entered Huiji County. And breaking through is the best way to do it right now.

Xiang Sheng's judgment was indeed to rescue Xiang Tuo, but for Xiang Sheng himself, didn't he know what danger he would have if he stayed in this place?

The answer is no.

After thinking that the Chu army was no longer able to return to heaven, Yu Da did not care about some of the Chu officers and soldiers who broke through from the south gate, but personally led another group of troops to attack the city.

......

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiang Sheng was besieged in the middle of a street, and Yu Da and Li Hunt were leading hundreds of people to besiege Xiang Sheng.

Knowing that there would be no good ending as a result, he wanted to calm down, but when he heard Yu Da's name, he couldn't help but roar angrily: "Qin Gou, it turns out that you are the culprit of this incident!!

Yu Da shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with the king, it is completely a revenge battle for our Yu family, you know, at the beginning, how many people in our Yu family died at your hands?"

Yu Da's words silenced Xiang Sheng......

Yu Da, on the other hand, approached Xiang Sheng step by step, revealing a hideous smile......
