Chapter 134 Embattled Up

Zhang Liang naturally didn't know that Zhang Jiashi planned to make a wish to him after the decisive battle between Qi and Chu was over. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For Zhang Liang, even if he knew such a situation, he was just smiling. After all, he told the truth, and he didn't plan to be a high-ranking official, for him, he served Zhang Jiashi, and the most important thing was that he figured out one point, that is, the great unification is indeed the best foundation for avoiding large-scale wars.
He also regretted what he had done at the beginning, especially the assassination of the First Emperor Yingzheng by Bolangsha, if that Donghai Lux hadn't hit the deputy car by mistake, I'm afraid I don't know what kind of situation it would turn into now.
However, Zhang Liang would not say such an idea to others. Because this is also a change in his mind alone.
And he is a little sighing for the group of civil and military forces of the Great Qin Empire led by Han Xin, because if there was no Zhang Jiashi, these people would not have embarked on such a path, so to speak, in Zhang Liang's heart, he was also thinking about one thing:
"Maybe it was that Zhang Jiashi who changed many people's lives, if it weren't for him, what would be the path of these people?"
Zhang Liang's thoughts naturally won't be spoken. For him, what he needs to do is to make the embattled strategy work.
......
Embattled, when Han Xin and the others discussed it, they couldn't help but gasp at the results of this strategy.
Because in their hearts, they know one thing very well, because Zhang Jiashi's strategy is indeed a soldier who can surrender without a fight. For them, they can also understand why Zhang Jiashi did this. However, this strategy is too vicious for the Chu army.
After all, even for the two Li Shang and Li Scabie brothers, who were not proficient in this strategy, they could guess what would happen to the remnants of this Chu army once this strategy was successful, and they gasped a little.
However, no one would say that they were against this plan, and few people even had the idea of it.
Not to mention the probability of success of this strategy for the main force of the remnants of the Chu army, which has now been besieged by nearly 200,000 large legions, just this strategy is actually from Zhang Jiashi's handwriting, under this premise, the success rate of this strategy is also very high, and they will naturally not refute Zhang Jiashi's clever plan in this regard.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In such a period of more than ten days, the main forces of the Qin army from all over the country had gathered more than 200,000 people in this area, which was located about 100 kilometers east-northeast of Pengcheng and less than 10 kilometers east of the sea.
Han Xin, Li Shang and the Li Scabies Brothers, Yu Jian, Zang Di and others led the army south from Qidi, if it were not for the fact that Qi Di could not completely leave a part of the troops to garrison or clear out the remnants of the Qi army, then there would be more officers and soldiers who could mobilize southward in Qidi.
And Li Mian, Yu Ziqi, Zhang Liang, Peng Yue and others went north from Chu one after another, concentrating their forces to besiege the remnants of the Chu army commanded by Xiang Zhuang.
The eight troops under Zhang Jiashi's command, except for the 10,000 troops under Zhang Liang's command, who mainly took care of the residents in the area around Pengcheng who were transported, basically did not need to participate in the battle, the remaining seven troops launched a siege operation against the Chu army.
At the beginning, the troops of Yu Ziqi and Peng Yue were mainly entangled with the main force of the remnants of the Chu army and slowed down the marching speed of the other party, while with the troops of less than 35,000 people under the command of Yu Ziqi and Peng Yue, it was obviously unrealistic to rely on these troops to besiege the main force of the remnants of the Chu army, which was much larger than them.
However, in order to delay Xiang Zhuang, the main force of the remnants of the Chu army, to move south to Chu, Yu Ziqi and Peng Yue respectively commanded the Ba County infantry and the Nanjun army troops under their command, and had several small contact battles with these Chu army remnants.
After these several contact battles, which were won and lost by each other, but the casualties were not too large strictly speaking, more and more Qin officers and soldiers rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of their respective commanders, and finally had to force the Chu army to build a camp in this place after paying a certain price.
Seeing that the Chu army planned to defend this place, the Qin officers and soldiers who had arrived earlier quickly guarded the main road to avoid a large-scale breakthrough of these Chu officers and soldiers.
Xiang Zhuang knew very well that staying in this place would be a dead end sooner or later, and since this was the case, he planned to give it a go from the beginning.
But what Xiang Zhuang didn't expect was that many of the Chu army officers under his command did not obey his orders. Some time ago, Xiang Zhuang launched an attack on the main road to Pengcheng held by the Nanjun army troops under the command of Yu Zi, and he could only flee back to the camp to hold on because of the serious damage when the troops were insufficient.
According to the information transmitted by the fine work, Xiang Zhuang's control over most of the middle and senior officers of this Chu army remnant is getting weaker and weaker, if it weren't for Xiang Yu's wife Jing Shi supporting Xiang Zhuang behind her back, maybe this Chu army remnant would already have a situation of civil strife now.
After knowing the news, Han Xin and the others couldn't help but be a little silent. After all, Xiang Zhuang is not an incompetent person, and because of Xiang Yu's departure and the fact that Chu Di has been almost completely controlled by the Qin army, Xiang Zhuang will not end up in such a disadvantageous battle.
For them, it is definitely good news, but many people have a vague sympathy for Xiang Zhuang in their hearts.
However, it is not their style to really say some kind words of a woman. This unfortunate situation in the Chu army also verifies one point from the side, that is, at such a time, the loyalty of the Chu officers and soldiers to Xiang Yu has become more and more weakened. If it weren't for the fact that a considerable number of officers in this unit were Xiang Yu's henchmen, I am afraid that even if Xiang Zhuang took strong measures to suppress them, I am afraid that this force would not be able to continue to maintain the integrity of the current force.
And there is another news, which is not conveyed by the detailed work within the Chu army, but can be learned through some situations of the besieging troops.
That is, the Chu army is not only unstable, but even the supply of grain and grass has begun to show signs of insufficiency.
This news can be said to be very fatal for the Chu army, but from the point of view of Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others, it is true that the Chu army is short of food, but the degree of food shortage of the Chu army in this regard should not be too much in the eyes, otherwise the Chu army would have already had greater chaos.
But this point does not have much to do with Han Xin and others, because they all expressed considerable support for Zhang Jiashi's strategy.
......
On the night of September 4, 202 B.C., the commanders of the besieging Chu army held a meeting to discuss how to implement the strategy of "embattled".
Although Zhang Jiashi introduced the use of this strategy in the bag, but more than that, that is, whether it was Zhang Liang, or as the highest officer at this time, or as the supreme commander because of his seniority, they all thought that there were still some things that needed to be corrected in this strategy.
As the supreme commander, although he is on the same level as Han Xin and others, in terms of qualifications, even Han Xin thinks that Mima deserves to be the supreme commander.
Under this premise, sitting in the main seat, it is natural to speak first:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the main reason for gathering everyone this time is to hope that everyone can talk about how those Chu Di Qiantou summoned by Mr. Zhang should be used. ”
Mizuma's words also show that he supports the strategy of embattled. But in some details, it is true that it needs to be revised in line with the actual situation.
Hearing Yuma's words, Han Xin and the others looked at Zhang Liang.
It's not that they don't know how to put forward their ideas, but what do they think about this person who is valued by Zhang Jiashi, and even reuses him despite the many big sins that the other party has committed before.
Zhang Liang could also feel one thing, that is, Han Xin and the others wanted to see what he was capable of.
What does he need to be afraid of? In that case, he should just say what he thinks.
So, under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Liang's face, which was still quite handsome, showed a smile: "According to the contemptible opinion, the regent's strategy is indeed a great good, but in terms of the environment in which the regent is located, the regent may not be too familiar with the situation of the Chu army when he came up with this strategy, so this strategy is still a little insufficient." ”
Zhang Liang paused, and then continued: "The regent used this strategy, it is very likely that he did not want to have too many casualties, and this has nothing to do with the enemy. You should also know very well that the battle has reached this point, and the regent can be said to have won the victory, and it is not beautiful to kill more. In that case, we should follow the regent's assumptions and improve the shortcomings of this strategy. ”
Subsequently, Zhang Liang said three aspects of the implementation plan that he thought Zhang Jiashi's embattled needs to be improved:
First, Zhang Jiashi originally planned to use Chu Ge to shake the heart of the Chu army, which is indeed no problem, but Zhang Liang believes that if he wants to burst out the power of Chu Ge's killing move, he still needs to do one thing, that is, let the Chu army realize a reality openly: they have no way to retreat.
Second, embattled may shake a part of the Chu army, and there may be unexpected effects. But just in case, he also needs to let those Chu Di Qiantou come to know the reason and move with emotion. To put it simply, it is to let a part of the Chu Di Qianshou who do not need to play Chu Ge personally go to the front of the Chu army camp to persuade the Chu army to surrender.
Thirdly, maybe this supplement will not come in handy, but it is also an arrangement just in case. If these Chu officers and soldiers were not greatly affected, then they might as well let these Chu leaders enter the Chu army barracks.
......
After Zhang Liang finished talking about the three supplements, the Qin army in the camp was a little puzzled by Zhang Liang's supplements. In other words, the most important thing is the confusion that adds to the third article.
Because many people can think that Zhang Liang's third strategy does not mean that he intends to let these Chu Qiantou as the vanguard of attacking the Chu army camp, but it is also impossible to let these Chu Qiantou enter the camp without doing anything as Zhang Liang said.
Han Xin looked at Zhang Liang, and after thinking about it for a while, he muttered a sentence in his heart: "Could this Zhang Zifang be planning to let these Chu Di Qiantou increase the various pressures of the Chu army? ”
Han Xin thought that it was impossible for Zhang Liang to say the third supplementary plan for no reason, but for Zhang Liang's supplementary plan, he couldn't help but express his silence for Chu Jun.
Zhang Liang's third strategy may indeed not be used, but once it is used, the blow to the Chu army is no less than the attack on the embattled Chu army.
It is difficult for the Chu army to refuse these Qiantou leaders, many of whom may be relatives or relatives, to enter the camp, and once these Qiantou enter the camp, what awaits them will be a dilemma.
The Chu army is already short of food at the moment, and once these Qiantou enter the camp, they will inevitably consume not enough military food more quickly. Moreover, the current military discipline of the Chu army is already relatively chaotic, if there are some people among these Qiantou who can cause further civil strife in the Chu army, such as young women or even women, then if some Chu officers and soldiers can't control their own **, I'm afraid there will really be a big mess.
It can be said that this supplementary strategy is undoubtedly a bait smeared with poison for these Chu officers and soldiers. Whether the Chu army will swallow it or not, or whether they themselves have the opportunity to swallow this bait, will become a microcosm of the Chu army's defeat.
Thinking of this, Han Xin couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhang Liang, because he could now think of why Zhang Jiashi valued Zhang Liang, because Zhang Liang did have the value of being valued by Zhang Jiashi.
Subsequently, more and more Qin Jun Wenwu thought of the key point of Zhang Liang's supplementary implementation plan, and looked at Zhang Liang's eyes differently.
There are many people in their hearts who are a little unaccustomed to Zhang Liang's viciousness, but for the old man who followed Zhang Jiashi out of Liaodong, Zhang Liang's additions to these strategies made them a little frightened.
After all, they know one thing, that is, Zhang Liang's approach is very similar to the style of a person, and this person is Li Zuoche, the current imperial historian of the Great Qin Empire, who works in Shuangyueyi.
Of course, unlike Zhang Liang's strategy, the focus of the enemies targeted by this imperial historian is mainly foreigners.
It's like a Donghu person who was once killed by Li Zuoche and now seems to be unable to take care of himself......
