Chapter 16: The Sorrow of Famous Generals

%&*";

December 208 BC

People with grand ambitions in their hearts have never been restless, especially heroes like Xiang Yu. The success of the Battle of Julu not only relieved the siege of Zhao, but also brought Xiang Yu the status he dreamed of.

Before Xiang Yu led the Chu army to attack Julu, the Qin army Wang Li had stormed Julu City. Because Julu City ran out of food and soldiers, it was in danger.

In fact, at that time, the army sent by various countries to rescue Zhao added up to more than ten people, and Zhang Ao, the son of Zhao Xiang and Zhang Er, also collected more than 10,000 soldiers from Daijun in the north of Julu City.

Xiang Yu's appearance undoubtedly changed the whole battle situation.His momentum shocked all the troops who saved Zhao.Changxi later told me.When Xiang Yu attacked the Qin army.Those who saved Zhao troops heard the earth-shaking shouts of the Chu army.They all ran out of the camp tent and crowded into the barrier to watch.I saw that the Chu army was brave and invincible. The scene when the thousands of troops swept through and defeated the Qin army, those generals were all so frightened that they forgot to breathe, and then when Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and invited those generals to come to the barracks to meet them, those generals actually knelt on the ground and crawled in, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

In the face of too strong a force, people can only choose to surrender.Xiang Yu is a natural king.His domineering and powerful have conquered all those who are afraid of this power.

Zhao's predicament has been solved, and it stands to reason that the troops should return to the court, but to everyone's surprise, Xiang Yu chose to continue the war, and the purpose was not victory, but Zhang Han.

"Is the young master so persistent and vengeful." I picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it a few times, and finally swallowed it.

"Do you think that the young master is really a rough man with a simple mind, well-developed limbs, and a mind full of fights and wars, as those pedantic literati say?" Changxi pushed the plate of vegetables in front of me, and said good-naturedly: "He doesn't look at Zhang Han's head, it's the wisdom in that head."

"You mean ......"

"Zhang Han is a rare strange material.Although he was born in a civil official.But he did not lose in leading the army in the war.At the beginning of the uprising in Daze Township.Chen Shengfa was difficult in the wilderness.The princes rose up.Hundreds of thousands of troops approached Hangu Pass.The momentum can be described as unstoppable.I thought that the Qin State was exhausted.However, Zhang Han became the general of the Qin State at this time.It can be said that it was the last city of the Qin State.Not only did he temporarily organize the prisoners of Lishan to defeat Zhou Wenzhi's hundreds of thousands of troops.After that, he broke the coalition army of Qi and Chu.Finally, he also defeated the commander of our Chu army, Wu Xinjun.These achievements add up.He can also be said to be a rich record.” Changxi put down his chopsticks and said with a rather distressed look: "It's a very tricky person, if it can't be used by us, then we can only get rid of it as soon as possible."

"It's really easy to say.I always feel that human life is in the eyes of you and me now.I can't even remember a trace of guilt.Is it numb.For such things as bloodshed and death...... "I also have no appetite.I put my chopsticks on the small table.I lowered my eyes and said: "War is such a terrible thing.No matter how strong people's hearts are, they can be distorted by it."

"Do you regret it?" Changxi asked me, "Do you regret witnessing this war with me, but I can have left you in the middle of nowhere, but I was too selfish, and I didn't care about your feelings and took you with me."

"No, no regrets." I met his gaze and smiled bitterly, "There are many things in this world, and you can only know how cruel they are when you see them.

After Julu broke the siege, Zhang Han led the remnants to be stationed in the Thorn Plain, and Xiang Yu led the army to garrison the south of Zhangshui.

However, it was not Xiang Yu who really pushed Zhang Han into the camp of the Chu army, but the Qin court, which he had loyally guarded for many years.

The successive defeats of the Qin army made Zhang Han distrust the Qin court. Hu Hai even sent people to question Zhang Han several times, and reprimanded him for the defeat of the Battle of the Giant Deer. Perhaps this is the sorrow of those famous generals. No matter how brilliant his achievements were before, a defeat would make their lives fall to the bottom. People are accustomed to looking up to them, blindly yearning for and worshiping, and even forgetting that they are not gods, but just ordinary people of flesh and blood.

Once the people's hearts are shaken, they will not stop.So in February of the third year of Qin II, Xiang Yu seized the opportunity to send an army to assault the Qin army on the south bank of Zhangshui.Zhang Han's army had to retreat.The situation was very urgent.Zhang Han sent his general Sima Xin to ask the Qin court for instructions and help.

Sima Xin hurried to Xianyang, and waited in front of Sima Gate outside the palace for three days, but Zhao Gao still didn't see him after three days, and the suspicion and distrust couldn't be more obvious.

This suspicion and distrust is fatal.Sima Xin was very frightened.So he gave up the main road he had taken when he came to Xianyang.He chose to flee back from the small road.His choice was wise.He didn't have long to leave.Zhao Gao really sent troops to chase after him from the main road.Sima Xin sneaked back to the Thorn Plains in a panic.Bitter and angry.Persuaded Zhang Han to plan a good plan as soon as possible.Zhao General Chen Yu also sent a letter to Zhang Han.Persuaded Zhang Han with the fact that Qin General Bai Qi and Meng Tian Gong were punished for many things.Zhang Han finally gradually wavered.

Things went according to expectations, and they were in a very good mood, and they even had a drink in the tent.

"Next, it's up to Zhang Han to get over his heart." Gao Xiran plucked the strings in his hand and said with a smile: "As soon as this chapter falls, the rest of the things will go on naturally.

"How long have you been back, and you're going to want to go home and hug your wife again so soon." Qin Yuqi teased him: "Anyway, the most leisurely of the three of us is you, not to mention that you married a wife early, you even have children, what else to worry about."

"You don't understand, there are more things to worry about after getting married, no more leisure than when you don't get married." Gao Xiran smiled bitterly and said: "As the saying goes, Zi Fei Yu Anzhi Yu is depressed."

"It's 'the joy of knowing the fish'." I couldn't help but chime.

"It's his own fabrication, and it's not necessary to pay attention to the most bullshitty people like him." Changxi smiled.

"Don't talk about me, when are you two going to get married?" Gao Xiran turned to me and asked, "I'm afraid the Snow Maiden is in a hurry."

I couldn't help but laugh at him: "I'm in a hurry, it's not that I can't get married."

"It's coming." He looked at me in the dim light, and said softly, "When the dust settles, I will marry her and go home, and she is destined to be a member of my Ji family."
