readx;?? On January 10, 206 BC, Zhang Jiashi led Mengwu, Han Xin, and about 50,000 soldiers and horses south to Hanzhong County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burn ^ Wen ^ Book Library] [].. [>

Before this dispatch, Zhang Jiashi had read the information about Hanzhong County in the Qingyu Spirit Book.

Hanzhong County, the thirteenth year of Queen Qin Huiwen (312 years ago) attacked Chu Hanzhong, took 600 miles of land, placed the county because of the name of the local river, was one of the 36 counties in the early Qin Dynasty, the county was set up in Nanzheng (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi) at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, and moved to Xicheng (Zhongdutai on the north bank of the Han River in Ankang City, Shaanxi) at the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty. In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-30 years), the county was relocated to Nanzheng (in present-day Hantai District, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province). From the Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the area under its jurisdiction was shrinking day by day. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu changed its name to "Hanning County" according to this place, and Cao Cao reverted to its original name after taking Hanzhong. In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was divided into Liangzhou, and in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Hanzhong was changed to Hanchuan County.

After that, Hanzhong County is no longer seen in the history books.

Of course, what Zhang Jiashi needed was not this kind of record, but the corresponding topographical information about Hanzhong County:

The Qinling Mountains in the northern part of Hanzhong are like a barrier, the highest peak is at the top of the beam, the altitude is 3071 meters, and the other higher peaks are 2838 meters of Bald Mountain in Foping County, 2603 meters of Motianling in Yangxian County, 2610 meters of Zibai Mountain in Liuba, 2606 meters of Bald Mountain in Mian County, and the elevation of the mountain is 1000~2000 meters in general. The southern Micang Mountain (also known as Bashan) is high and majestic, the highest peak is Jiangang Mountain, the altitude is 2534 meters, the higher peaks are 2468 meters of Tiechuan Mountain in Nanzheng County, 2367 meters of Red Mountain, 2389 meters of Bald Mountain, and the elevation of the general mountain body is 1000~1500 meters.

It can be seen that the Hanzhong region and even the entire Hanzhong County are not generally affected by the topography of the Qinling Mountains.

Zhang Jiashi did not arrange a large number of knights to accompany him on this expedition, but mainly relied on the material officer troops to fight.

After all, the stretching mountains and the winding mountain trails were a major obstacle for Zhang Jiashi to lead the army to the expedition. It seems that using a large number of knights to fight in this situation is just an arrangement that makes it possible for him to lose very badly.

Among the 50,000 troops, the knight troops under Zhang Jiashi were only 2,000 people. And a lot of them served as scouts between the troops.

......

Before this battle, Zhang Jiashi asked Han Xin if there was any possibility of attacking Hanzhong from the south of the Chencang Ancient Road.

Han Xin was naturally able to know some of the information that Zhang Jiashi's scouts had heard, and he didn't think that Zhang Jiashi's choice would be a very appropriate arrangement.

Because Zhang Jiashi did this, it was only possible to make the troops quite scattered.

In fact, in the original history, Han Xinming's repair of the plank road was also a helpless practice. And the road of Chencang Ancient Road is not so easy to walk.

It is only four kilometers down the southern slope of the Qinling Mountains. It is the valley of the Jialing River. The opposite mountains retreated far on either side, leaving a flat plain of river valley that stretched into the distance. This narrow land is nearly a kilometer wide and hundreds of meters narrow.

Here is a description that is enough to explain a lot of things, that is, although this ancient road does not seem to be too long, once the people of Hanzhong County build a camp on the hillside, it will be a great deal for the troops marching in the Chencang Ancient Road. The result is a devastating blow.

Although some scouts did not find out about this situation, Han Xin had good reason to believe that Gongsun Zao would not let go of this place that would obviously become an Achilles' heel.

Moreover, there is another very fatal place on the Chencang Ancient Road, that is, not far from the exit to the south, it is Fengxian, which is in the eyes of the monarchs of the Qin State. It is a rather dangerous place for soldiers to fight.

In Han Xin's eyes, even if he had tens of thousands of troops under his command, it was impossible for him to attack Fengxian so unscrupulously and directly through the blockade of the Chencang Ancient Road.

Zhang Jiashi also ignored a situation, that is, Fengxian was a city in Hanzhong County with a fairly large number of troops to defend, and Zhang Jiashi wanted Han Xin to lead his army to secretly Chen Cang. It's not a big job.

Of course, Han Xin did not completely reject such an idea, that is, he did not think that the Chencang Ancient Road would not play its own role, but on the contrary, once the conditions were right, Zhang Jiashi would send another detachment to the south of the Chencang Ancient Road and take Fengxian directly. You may expect unexpected results.

Zhang Jiashi was very strange why Han Xin said this, and he naturally did not hide his doubts from Han Xin: "Brother Xin, why do you say that?"

Zhang Jiashi's question: "Han Xin, won't Gongsun Zao just burn down the plank road, and then let us have to pass through the Chencang Ancient Road?"

Han Xin heard Zhang Jiashi's question and shook his head: "Your Majesty, it is very likely that Gongsun Zao will not do this, on the contrary, if he is really ambitious, he will take advantage of the complex terrain of Hanzhong County to lure the king to send troops south, and when the king sends a large army south, he will destroy these large armies, and then quickly go north to fight for Guanzhong." ”

Zhang Jiashi, who heard this, couldn't help but think of the corresponding comment on the darkness of the Ming Xiu Plank Road Chen Cang in the Qingyu Spirit Book:

Han Xin's first step plan was to first take Guanzhong to open the door to the east, and establish a base for Xinghan to destroy Chu, so he sent hundreds of soldiers to repair the plank road, at this time, Zhang Han, who was guarding the central and western regions of Guanzhong, heard the news and couldn't help laughing: Who told you to burn down the plank road, you yourself cut off the way out, and now you are here to repair it, such a big project, only send a few hundred soldiers, see which year and month you have to complete?" Therefore, Zhang Han did not pay attention to Liu Bang and Han Xin's action at all.

But soon, Zhang Han received an urgent report. said that Liu Bang's army had entered Guanzhong, Chen Cang was occupied, and the guard would be killed, Zhang Han didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a rumor, and when it was confirmed, he hurriedly led the troops to resist, and it was too late. Zhang Han was forced to commit suicide, and Sima Xin, who was stationed in the eastern part of Guanzhong, and Dong Peng in the north also surrendered one after another, and the Guanzhong region, known as Sanqin, was all occupied by Liu Bang at once.

Of course, Han Xin did this with the element of taking advantage of Zhang Han's carelessness, if Zhang Han had the strength to pursue Liu Bangjun south at that time, it would make Zhang Han more vigilant against Liu Bang.

It can be seen that Han Xin was able to succeed in such a tactic, and Zhang Liang can even be said to have contributed greatly.

Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but take a deep look at Han Xin, because the current Han Xin gave him the feeling that it was much safer to use soldiers.

It's not that he looks down on Han Xin, who has repeatedly used soldiers to take risks, but he feels that the other party is more like a passing commander to the current Han Xin.

Because of the Han Xin in history, not only could the whole army be wiped out at any time in a battle against the water, but just this place of Chencang, if Zhang Han paid attention to this place, the possibility of the Han army returning was also very high.

Of course. Zhang Jiashi thought of another problem, that is, Han Xin thought that there should be a force in the Chencang area to hibernate and then take action.

Zhang Jiashi asked Han Xin directly, that is, who can do this.

Han Xin recommended a person that Zhang Jiashi himself couldn't believe: then Li Xin.

......

In Zhang Jiashi's understanding, Li Xin should have been expelled from the Qin army after the defeat in the war against Chu.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi relied on the corresponding records in the Qingyu Spirit Book as a reference.

In fact. Although Li Xin was defeated, Yingzheng's trust in Li Xin still did not diminish much.

Of course. Li Xin's fiasco naturally inevitably led to a scolding.

In fact, if the recorder of Zhang Jiashi's Qingyu Spirit Book could compare some situations in detail, he would know that some things had indeed gone wrong.

In the twenty-second year of the reign of King Qin (225 BC), Li Xin led an army to attack Pingyu (now Pingyu North, Henan), and Meng Tian led an army to attack Bedqiu (now Linquan, Anhui), defeating the Chu army. Li Xin then took advantage of the victory to conquer Yan Ying, and then led his troops to the west, to join Meng Tian at Chengfu (north of present-day Pingdingshan City, Henan). At that time, Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, led the Chu army to take the opportunity to accumulate strength. He followed and pursued Li Xin's army, and did not stop for three days and three nights, but defeated Li Xin's army, attacked two military camps, killed seven captains, and Li Xin's army was defeated and fled.

This is the corresponding record of the Qingyu Spirit Book, but after this record. In fact, there is another record, that is, after the failure of the conquest of Chu, Li Xin, as a deputy general under Wang Ben, made considerable contributions to the pacification of the Liaodong region of Yan and Qi.

In fact, this matter is not directly related to Li Xin's defeat of the Chu State.

But the most incredible thing that Zhang Jiashi felt was. Li Xin is still alive.

Because if Li Xin was still alive, Ying Zheng probably wouldn't have let Tu Sui command the southern expedition to the Qin army, resulting in a fiasco, and he himself would have been defeated and killed at the same time.

After Han Xin said such a sentence, he seemed to see the doubts on Zhang Jiashi's face, so he couldn't help but say, "This person ...... It was recommended by Mr. Meng Lao to Han Xin. Mr. Meng also asked Han Xin to let Han Xin be at the right time. Speak this to the king. In the end, Mr. Meng also said that if the king still had doubts, then the king could go to his house again. ”

"......" Zhang Jiashi opened his mouth, waved his hand lightly for a while, and then said, "You go down first." ”

"Well, my subordinates have retired first. ”

......

Han Xin's departure allowed Zhang Jiashi to ponder this matter, and he couldn't help but ask Bai Qi, that is, Li Xin was recommended by Mengwu, I am afraid that this person does have a certain ability, and is very suitable to fight in such a battle.

Bai Qi said something that made Zhang Jiashi have to ponder: "Li Xin's defeat is not entirely due to the fact that he is indeed careless. The elite conquest of the 200,000 Qin army against the Chu State was also sufficient in itself. However, the sudden betrayal of Chang Wenjun was the reason for Li Xin's fiasco. ”

"Chang Wenjun?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Jiashi muttered this sentence.

In fact, Zhang Jiashi was not familiar with such a person, and there are not many descriptions of Chang Wenjun in the Qingyu Spirit Book, and the record of Chang Wenjun and his brother Chang Pingjun's rebellion against the Qin State is:

In 224 BC, (the twenty-third year of the reign of King Qin), the king of Qin again issued an edict to recruit Wang Qian, forcibly use him, and send him to attack the state of Chu. He captured the land south of Chen County to Pingyu County and captured the king of Chu. In April, Chang Wenjun died. The Chu general Xiang Yan established Changping Jun as the king of Chu and continued to oppose Qin south of the Huai River.

In 223 BC, (the twenty-fourth year of the reign of King Qin), Wang Jian and Meng Wu went to attack the Chu State, defeated the Chu army, Changping Jun died, Xiang Yan committed suicide or was killed in defeat, and the Chu State perished.

It can be seen that the rebellion of the Changping Jun brothers had a very huge impact on Li Xin at that time.

Because at that time, the city occupied by Chang Wenjun against Qin happened to be the main grain road for the Qin army troops who conquered Chu State, or Chang Wenjun and Changping Jun were themselves the people responsible for dispatching the grain of the Qin army.

If in such a situation, Meng Wu and Li Xin do not defeat the battle, then it is called a ghost.

Naturally, the reason for this defeat and defeat. It can't be blamed on Li Xin at all.

This can also explain one thing, that is, why Li Xin can continue to serve as a deputy general under Wang Ben, and go out with the army to attack Yan and Qi.

But Zhang Jiashi did not make such an arrangement. Because Bai Qidu said one thing, that is, since he still has doubts, it is better to meet Li Xin.

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

Meng Wu seemed to have expected that Zhang Jiashi would definitely come to him, so he was not surprised at all and brought Zhang Jiashi into his house.

And this one piece inside the hall of the house. Zhang Jiashi saw a man about the same age as Meng Wu, who was looking at him slightly.

He didn't say anything either. Because Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that this person he has not seen is likely to be Li Xin.

"The unemployed people, Li Xin, have seen the regent. ”

Li Xin stood up and clasped his fists at Zhang Jiashi.

And Zhang Jiashi himself didn't care much about such a courtesy, but hurriedly said: "Mr. Li Xin, don't be polite. ”

Zhang Jiashi didn't quite understand why Li Xin would say that he was a jobless citizen, but he himself was very aware of the situation. That is, Li Xin will not say such a thing for no reason.

Meng Wu laughed on the side: "Old brother, I just said that this kid doesn't care about that kind of cliché thing." ”

After Meng Wu said this, he asked Zhang Jiashi to sit next to a low wine table where two people were originally sitting opposite each other.

After Zhang Jiashi sat down, Li Xin said to Zhang Jiashi: "Xiaomin's arrival this time is mainly to hope that the king can contribute his last remaining strength to Daqin. ”

Zhang Jiashi naturally knew Li Xin's words, and the hidden meaning was to let him serve as a lieutenant and go to war.

Zhang Jiashi does not think of such an arrangement. There's something wrong. But he still wanted to ask Li Xin about some of the situation carefully: "Mr. Li Xin, I don't know what you think about Chen Cang Ancient Road?"

In fact, Meng Wu was the first person who thought that Zhang Jiashi would hit the idea on Chencang, because the roads in the Chencang area were indeed capable of threatening Hanzhong County, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, from the side.

Even Zhang Jiashi himself can't see the gains and losses of this place. Chen Ping naturally wouldn't fail to see it.

As for whether Chen Ping and others will say it, or whether they will suggest Zhang Jiashi to do so, it is a matter between the two parties.

The Hanzhong region is not easy to attack, and Mengwu is also very clear. Although he has not served as an official of Hanzhong County, it does not mean that he has served as an internal historian, and he does not know the situation of the family next door at all.

So. After Zhang Jiashi expressed that he wanted to attack Hanzhong and deter the two counties of Bashu, Meng Wu knew that if Zhang Jiashi wanted to use the Chencang Ancient Road to attack, then the best candidate would be Li Xin.

Because Li Xin himself served as the county commander of Fengxian County, and then he had the opportunity to lead the army to the battle.

And Zhang Jiashi's problem happens to be the "field" that Li Xin is good at.

After thinking about it slowly, he said: "Your Majesty, the Chencang Ancient Road is still quite a long distance away from Fengxian, although this place can unexpectedly catch the Hanzhong rebel off guard, but it is undeniable that there is a situation, that is, the traitor Gongsun Zao in Hanzhong should not ignore the situation of the Chencang Ancient Road. ”

Zhang Jiashi was a little puzzled after hearing such a sentence, because in his thoughts, Li Xin should have a way to deal with this aspect.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Jiashi's doubts, Li Xin stroked the somewhat gray beard on his chin slightly, and then said: "The matter of Chen Cang Ancient Dao can't actually play its role from the beginning. On the contrary, what the king needs to do is to contain the main force of the rebels after the new plank road goes south, so that Li Xin can have a chance to succeed in this matter. ”

If it were someone else, hearing Li Xin's words, maybe he would have turned his face with the other party a long time ago. Because the other party did this, it was completely a reason for Zhang Jiashi to take advantage of the fire, and he took the opportunity to take advantage.

But Zhang Jiashi will not lose his temper in such an aspect now, because he himself knows one thing, that is, Li Xin's arrangement in this regard is indeed very appropriate.

Of course, Li Xin's force was indeed unable to play a role at first. But what Zhang Jiashi knows better is that Li Xin's arrangement is likely to cause the troops under Gongsun Zao's command to be attacked from front to back and collapse directly.

Li Xin's idea is indeed a bit unkind on the one hand, but Zhang Jiashi himself will not think that Li Xin is trying to harm him. You must know that in this place of Hanzhong, it is not very likely that the tactics that can be brought or some clever tactics can be played.

The battle is not like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Fa Zheng was able to use the kind of arrangement that he actually knew was unreliable with his knees, so that Huang Zhong could make a surprise attack on Xiahou Yuan successful.

You must know one thing, that is, Xiahou Yuan is not so easy to deal with, let alone the kind of person who is anxious.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi did not think that there was anything wrong with Li Xin's tactic.

Because Hanzhong County is such a place, if it is so easy to fight, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, will not pay a heavy price when he conquers this place, and finally has to change his thinking, and go directly from the southwest of Longxi and the river upstream, and attack Gongsun Shu who cut off Yizhou.

Under the guidance of such an idea, Zhang Jiashi deeply bowed to Li Xin: "In this way, I will ask Mr. Li Xin for solitude!"

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

Only a few people knew about Zhang Jiashi's use of Li Xin, and Yingbu and the others didn't even know that the old captain who was standing with them under the general stage was Li Xin, one of the famous generals of Great Qin......
