Seeing the dragon rushing towards him, Li Ji couldn't help but scold, and quickly pulled his mount in other directions to continue galloping. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info[燃^ζ–‡^δΉ¦εΊ“][].. []()

However, some of the Qin army knights who followed behind Li Ji did not directly dodge to the side like Li Ji, but rushed towards Long Ji with the weapons in their hands.

It's just that these Qin knights ignored the dragon's own strength.

And the two long swords in Long Ji's hands are also a kind of sword. If Zhang Jiashi was here, he would be able to recognize these two long swords from the style of the sword body, and it should be the other two swords that are matched with the Xingyao Sword.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi has now given the Xingyao Sword to Han Xin. It's not that he forgets the entrustment of the predecessor who buried the bones and the nameless valley, but he doesn't think that he can complete the entrustment of that senior.

After all, the world is so big, and trying to find this weapon is undoubtedly equivalent to looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.

In such a situation, Zhang Jiashi had to give up this idea. Because he doesn't have much time to do this kind of thing right now.

And the Xingyao Sword is certainly not the top-level sword, but these newly produced mass-produced equipment of the Great Qin Empire, after colliding with the two swords in Long Ji's hand, the other party actually cut it directly.

Some of the knights of the Qin army were even split by dragons and swords with their horses.

Han Xin saw this situation, then glanced at Long Ji, who was about to bend his bow and arrow behind Long Ji, and slowly raised his hand: "Everyone prepare...... Shoot !!"

This method is a very unbearable way to die for a famous general, but Han Xin hesitated for a while, because he didn't have any friendship with Long Ji, and he didn't think he could capture Long Ji alive.

Besides, even if he was able to capture the dragon alive, what could he do? Would the other party be willing to surrender to Zhang Jiashi and the Great Qin Empire? Of course, this thing is impossible.

So, in this case, a dead dragon is what Han Xin wants to see.

Anyway, the other party has to die in this place, and what kind of death should be given to the other party, this matter is not important at all.

The officers and soldiers of the personal guards under the command of Li Yan could not give any casualties to this Chu army commander in the case of Long Ji's slashing and killing, on the contrary, they paid nearly 20 casualties.

However, after one of the Qin knights besieging Long Ji was killed by Long Ji's sword, the bow and crossbow in the hands of Li Ji and the hundreds of knights under Han Xin's command were released.

Hundreds of arrows flew towards the dragon like locusts.

Long Ji raised his head slightly, revealing a hint of a smile......

He didn't make any moves, but just waited for his final end.

When Han Xin saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little admired, because in this situation, there was no possibility of survival for the dragon.

After more than a second, dozens of arrows were inserted into Long Ji's body, and the most fatal thing was the long arrow that ran through Long Ji's body from the back of Long Ji's heart......

Long He looked at Han Xin, and with his last strength and consciousness, he roared loudly: "I, Long Ji, am a Chu person in life, and a Chu ghost in death! Qin Gou!! I'm waiting for you to go to hell to accompany me for a day!!!!

After roaring these words, Long Ji's body slowly fell backwards......

Han Xin, on the other hand, looked at Long Ji's corpse and was silent for a while before saying, "Cut off the other party's head, and then bury the other party's body well." Don't erect a monument ......"

Han Xin's words determined the end of Long Ji's death.

He looked up to the east and muttered, "Maybe the Chu people should know that this price is indeed a bit heavy." ”

......

Long Ji was killed in battle, and more than half of the army under Long Ji's command was defeated by the combined forces of Han Xin and the Li Shang Li Scabies brothers in less than a day.

The remaining 10,000 Chu officers and soldiers successfully fought with Peng Yue's troops.

However, the general of the Chu army, who commanded the remnants of this Chu army, was killed by Peng Yue that night.

For Peng Yue, the war has reached this point, and it will not benefit him at all if he continues to fight.

He began to think about the question of where his path would lie next.

With less than 60,000 Chu officers and soldiers in his hands, it was obviously irrational to fight against the Qin army that was gradually encircling him.

Whether Long He is dead or not, Peng Yue thinks that this matter is not worth his too much concern, the thing he needs to care about is that since Long He was defeated by the other party so easily, those Qin army commanders who are gradually advancing westward are naturally not mediocre people.

In this case, he was caught by Su Teng on the opposite side and another Qin army, and his situation was quite bad.

Moreover, the more than 50,000 officers and soldiers under his command need a huge amount of supplies every day. And although he doesn't need to worry too much about grain and straw in a short period of time, the other party obviously won't let him get a lot of grain and grass again.

In this case, the longer the time drags on, the worse his situation becomes.

Peng Yue knew very well that now was the time for him to make a choice.

Therefore, the head of the generals of the Chu army, which also belonged to Xiang Yu, became a way for Peng Yue to throw stones and ask for directions.

......

Su Teng looked at a scribe and the head placed in a brocade box, and he asked in a deep voice, "Peng Yue is planning to defect to our Great Qin?"

The scribe nodded: "Su Junshou, General Peng has always been interested in Great Qin, and now, the army under Long He has been defeated, which just allows General Peng to get rid of the control of the Chu people, so General Peng hopes to be able to contribute his own strength to Great Qin's domination of the world again." ”

Su Teng, who heard this, was silent for a long time before he said, "Just by virtue of this head, you General Peng think that you can win the trust of our Great Qin?"

The scribe said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This is a kindness of General Peng, if necessary, General Peng is willing to kill all the Chu people under his command to comfort the hundreds of thousands of unjust souls in Thorn Plain." ”

Su Teng, who heard this, couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and his heart suddenly resisted Peng Yue.

It is true that the Qin army in Thorn Plains was almost all killed by Xiang Yu, which is a resentment that many Qin people will never forget for the rest of their lives.

But more importantly, Su Teng is very clear about one thing, that is, Zhang Jiashi is not willing to transfer this hatred to others.

As one of the people who has been by Zhang Jiashi's side for the longest time, if Su Teng doesn't even have this kind of eyesight, Zhang Jiashi himself will not be at ease to hand over Sanchuan County to him to govern.

He was silent again for a while, and then said to the scribe: "This county guard cannot make the decision on this matter, and I also ask General Peng to wait for two days, let the county guard inform the regent, and let the regent take care of this matter." ”

The scribe heard Su Teng's words and nodded slightly: "In this way, it is okay, the contemptible person will reply to General Peng here." ”

"Walk slowly. Come, send ten gold to this gentleman. ”

After Su Teng finished saying this, he glanced at the head in the brocade box again.

He involuntarily had a thought: "Perhaps, you can be regarded as a wronged death." ”

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

On January 27, 204 BC, Zhang Jiashi, who received Su Teng's urgent report, was silent for a long time after reading Su Teng's urgent report, and then asked Sun Po:

"Mr. Sun, Su Teng thinks that Peng Yue can't stay. I wonder what Mr. Sun thinks?"

Sun Po nodded: "The worry in Su Junshou's heart should be reasonable. It is true that Peng Yue is from the Wei people, but the other party can actually say this kind of thing lightly, although those people are Chu people, but their hearts are unpredictable. ”

Sun Po's words clearly showed that he also supported Su Teng's statement.

But what Sun Po didn't know was that Zhang Jiashi was very contradictory on this point.

It is true that Peng Yue in this world is not as famous as his original world, and the current Peng Yue does not have the title of King Liang that he already has.

The current Liangdi is completely divided by three forces.

However, what Zhang Jiashi values is Peng Yue's ability.

However, it was impossible for him to ignore the opinions of Su Teng, Sun Po and others, after all, there were really not many people who could accept what Peng Yue said.

And Zhang Jiashi quickly thought of another question, that is, if he killed Peng Yue, it would obviously have a great impact on his surrender and rebellion in the future.

He shook his head and said to Sun Po: "This matter is still for Su Teng to inform Peng Yue, Lone is willing to accept the other party's defection, but he must hand over the military power in his hands, and Lone will have other appointments to him within the year." ”

After Sun Po heard Zhang Jiashi's words, he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

In fact, he also knew very well that Zhang Jiashi could not easily make the decision to kill the other party in this kind of thing now, which he could understand.

But Zhang Jiashi's appointment of Peng Yue made him a little helpless.

But he would not resolutely oppose Zhang Jiashi in this kind of matter, and Li Xin on the side was very calm with his eyes closed. Because he knew very well that if Peng Yue's matter could be solved in a more proper way, then the next battle would start again.

......

A few days later, Su Teng received a reply from Zhang Jiashi.

Seeing the edict given to him by Zhang Jiashi, Su Teng was also a little helpless, but he also knew that Zhang Jiashi made a decision after making a lot of trade-offs.

In this case, he naturally will not object to anything.

Moreover, in the past few days, their Qin troops in Yingchuan County have gradually vaguely besieged Peng Yue's troops.

Some of the officers and soldiers under Han Xin's command were sent to recover Yangzhai and some cities in the eastern region, and Su Teng didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.

After all, as the seat of Yingchuan County, the importance of Yangzhai City is naturally self-evident.

On the contrary, he was worried that Peng Yue would jump off the wall in a hurry after seeing Zhang Jiashi's other edict.

After all, no one can easily hand over the military power of nearly 60,000 officers and soldiers in their hands.

He decided to send someone to contact Peng Yue first.

......

After Peng Yue received Zhang Jiashi's edict, he was not dissatisfied, on the contrary, he was more polite to the envoys sent by Su Teng.

After the envoy left, Peng Yue gathered his cronies to discuss the matter.

Many of Peng Yue's lieutenants were unwilling to lose their current power, and strongly opposed Peng Yue's acceptance of this edict.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Peng Yue still made what may be the biggest choice of his life.

That is, he decided to accept Zhang Jiashi's arrangement and hand over his military power.

What Peng Yue didn't know was that he had made the right choice.

Of course, because of Peng Yue's statement at the beginning, Peng Yue's official fortune in the early days of the Great Qin Empire was quite unsmooth.

But Zhang Jiashi did not treat him lightly. Instead, after the offensive against Liu Bang ended in May, Zhang Jiashi ordered Peng Yue to serve as the lieutenant of Ba County, responsible for training a light infantry unit that was adept at fighting in the mountains.

In this case, although Peng Yue was not too satisfied with Zhang Jiashi's appointment, he also knew that he had just joined Zhang Jiashi's command, so it was naturally difficult to refute Zhang Jiashi more on some things.

And Peng Yue actually felt that there was nothing wrong with this appointment. Of course, in this part of Ba County, even if you lead a large number of new troops under your command to set off for training, you have to be careful of being raided by the natives. However, in this place, Peng Yue found that his life within the Chu State was relatively much more fulfilling.

Especially some Ba girls, that kind of taste, but he didn't expect it before, let alone enjoy it.

After the autumn harvest in 202 BC, when Peng Yue launched a fierce attack on the last two Kwantung vassal states, he was also recruited by Zhang Jiashi into the expedition sequence.

This also became a turning point in Peng Yue's career in the Great Qin Empire.

That's for later......

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

After settling the matter of Peng Yue and the nearly 60,000 people under Peng Yue's command relatively peacefully, Zhang Jiashi had a headache, that is, where should these Chu officers and soldiers along the Huaishui coast, who mainly came from Chu, be resettled.

It's impossible in Guanzhong, Zhang Jiashi doesn't want dozens or even more corpses to appear in his lair every day.

The same is true in Shangjun and some areas where the Great Qin Empire has ruled for a long time.

And Liaodong County is impossible, because Zhang Jiashi also doesn't want his other core area to change because of this kind of thing.

The area close to the Chu State and the Qi State, Zhang Jiashi was also reluctant to choose, because if these people wanted to escape, it would also be a headache.

In the end, Zhang Jiashi chose two places, one is Shangdang County and Hanoi County, and the other is Shu County.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiashi decided to send these people to Shangdang County and Shu County in batches for development work.

Although Shu County was ruled by the Great Qin Empire for a long time, the development of Shu County has not been too perfect.

Especially in some mountainous areas, many indigenous people were relatively resistant to the rule of the Great Qin Empire.

Zhang Jiashi hopes to use the participation of these Chu people to change the situation in this place and at the same time carry out more regional development work.

The purpose of transporting personnel from Shangdang County was mainly that Zhang Jiashi planned to open up a road in Shangdang County that could go east to Handan County, and these Chu officers and soldiers were the best labor force.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that since he wanted these people to be serious, he naturally had to give some sweetness.

He ensured the food needs of these working Chu officers and soldiers, and also ensured that these officers and soldiers could receive the salaries stipulated in the law, and most importantly, that once the Great Qin Empire could unify the world, they would let them return to their homeland as ordinary people.

After hearing Zhang Jiashi's assurance, most of the Chu officers and soldiers accepted Zhang Jiashi's reassurance.

Of course, things can't be perfect.

For some Chu people who still have other ideas, Zhang Jiashi does not plan to be too polite to them at the moment.

As a result, under the continuation of the management system of the prisoner army, many Chu people who were willing to cooperate and performed well were promoted to managers.

And some Chu people who do not obey orders are more dealt with by them.

Like this kind of thing, Zhang Jiashi is already quite mature in use, and he doesn't need to worry about too many things.

After Zhang Jiashi handled the transportation of these prisoners, he began to carry out the second step of the battle plan for this eastern crusade.

That is, he will launch an all-out offensive against Liu Bang.

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

While Zhang Jiashi ordered the troops to temporarily rest in the northern part of Nanyang County, Liu Bang seemed to be unwilling to sit idly by, but ordered Zhou Bo and Ji Xin to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yixian.

Yixian County can also be regarded as the front line, but Liu Bangjun's surprise attack did not succeed, on the contrary, under the resistance of Yixian County's guard Ai Kang and Li Shuang's army, who led the army from Badong County to support, Liu Bangjun, who attacked Yixian, did not take too much advantage, and had to retreat to the place where he started.

As for why the other party retreated, the most important thing was that Tu Sui led 60,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river south of Yingdu and go north.

Tu Sui, who besieged Yingdu, naturally became Liu Bangjun's confidant.

A large number of Liu Bang's troops in the nearby area gathered together and launched reinforcements to Yingdu.

Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides in the area of the river south of Yingdu, and both sides paid a great price.

However, Liu Bangjun was never able to drive Tu Sui and the Qin army troops down the river.

And a few days later, Liu Bangjun's Lou Chuanshi troops went upriver from Jiujiang County.

A fierce battle broke out between the Lou boat troops of both sides in the river south of Yingdu, and in the end, it was the Jiang Shui Lou boat troops of the Great Qin Empire led by the Li family who won a heavy victory.

After all, after Liu Bang occupied a large area from Nanjun to Jiujiang County, he also realized the importance of the Lou Chuan Shi troops and increased his construction efforts.

And Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but sigh secretly after seeing the delivery of the battle report.

Because the Li family lost too many people this time, it can be said that most of the people of the younger generation of the Li family were lost in this battle......
