Chapter 12: The Great War Is Imminent
%&*";%&*";
August-September 208 BC
Soon after Xiang Liang's death, the Qin general Zhang Han thought that Chu was no longer worried, so he led more than 200,000 Qin troops to the north to attack Zhao, and mobilized 200,000 Qin troops originally stationed in Shangjun to go south.
When I received the news of the request for help, Xiang Liang's mourning period had not yet passed, and the herald ordered the soldiers to rush into the tent, and at that time, I was accompanying Yu Ji in the tent to embroider shoe uppers for the child in her womb.
"Young master, what do you think about this?" Changxi asked Xiang Yu tentatively.
"This chapter is going crazy." Xiang Yu sneered and said disdainfully: "It's just attacking a mere Zhao State, and he actually wants to mobilize 400,000 soldiers and horses.
"Having said that, if we really go head-to-head with the 400,000 army, we won't be able to take advantage of it......" Fan Zeng stroked his beard and pondered for a moment before saying, "In my opinion, this matter is still waiting for King Huai to decide."
"That's fine, after all, it's up to him now." Xiang Yu thought for a moment and asked Changxi again: "How are the armies of other countries?
"No, the Qin army is very strong for them, and all the troops sent to rescue Zhao are now stationed in the north of Julu City, and no one dares to go forward to meet them." Changxi smiled. In that case, what's the difference between going and not going?"
"Hmm......" Fan Zeng frowned. It still depends on the decision of His Royal Highness King Huai."
I couldn't help but whisper to Changxi: "Who is this King Huai, I have been in the army for so long, but I have never seen one."
"His Royal Highness King Huai's name is Xiong Xin, he is the grandson of Xiong Huai, the king of Chu Huai, after the fall of the Chu State, he hid the people for self-protection, and shepherded sheep.
"......I see," I nodded, and said to myself, "Then His Royal Highness Huai Wang is quite pitiful."
"Oh." He led me into the small forest next to the camp, sat down in an open space, and asked, "Tell me, why do you feel sorry for this Huaiwang?"
"In the final analysis, this Huaiwang is just a prop used by the Xiang clan to stabilize the political power.You and I both know that it is actually Wu Xinjun who holds the real power.Now that Wu Xinjun is dead.This power naturally falls on the head of the young master.Now that the Qin State has not perished.It is inconvenient for the young master to act rashly.When it comes to breaking through Xianyang.The young master is naturally the first hero.At that time, the young master is called the king, and naturally no one dares to disobey." I couldn't help but sigh: "This is politics, and although there is no blood, it is more cruel than the battlefield."
"How can there be no blood, but it is only in the shadows." Changxi pulled me over and lay on his knees, gently combed my hair, and said softly: "When Xianyang is broken and the world is stable, I will resign from this official position.
I felt the soft touch on my scalp and smiled and nodded, "Okay."
In September after 208 BC, after the defeat of Xiang Liang, King Chu Huai saw that Xiang Liang's army was broken, and he was terrified. Lü Chen's two armies were merged into one place and were directly commanded by himself.He began to take charge of all the anti-Qin rebel armies in the south.Ordered Pei Gong Liu Bang to be the magistrate of Dangjun.Named him the Marquis of Wu'an.Commanded the Dangjun soldiers.Named Xiang Yu as the Marquis of Chang'an.Named Lu Gong;Feng Lü Chen was Situ.His father Lü Qing was the order of Yin.When Qin Jun attacked Zhao State.Zhao State repeatedly asked Chu State for help.King Huai believed in the words of Gaoling Jun Xian of Qi State.It was said that Song Yi expected Xiang Liang's defeat this time before Xiang Liang and the Qin army fought.Thought that Song Yi was proficient in the art of war.Special summon Song Yi to the account** Discuss the great plan, the heart of the great joy, then the exception of the promotion of Xiang Yu to the general, the appointment of Xiang Yu as the second general, Fan Zeng as the last general, with Song Yi to the north to save Zhao.
"I shouldn't have counted on him." Xiang Yu slapped his palm on the table, and said angrily: "I actually named that Song Yi as a general, and I want Lao Tzu to give him a hand.
"The young master is angry, and at this time you should think about the long term." Fan Zeng frowned, and he looked quite dissatisfied: "Not to mention who will lead the rescue of Zhao Dajun, it is really dissatisfying to let Liu Bang enter the customs first."
"Then Liu Bang is a scheming person, if he is allowed to seize the opportunity, there will be a lot of trouble in the future." Changxi also looked a little worried: "Not only that, Zhang Liang and Xiao He under his account are also first-class strategists.
"Xiao He, I have heard a lot, this person is not only diligent and studious, quick-witted, but also has a good study of the laws of the past dynasties, plus he is diligent and thrifty by nature, never extravagant and wasteful, he is a rare righteous gentleman." Fan Zeng said with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "And I heard that when Liu Bang rebelled, he made a lot of efforts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Bang was the first contributor to his current status."
"I don't know much about Zhang Liang's words, but Xue'er has a lot of contact with him." Changxi turned his head and asked me, who was making tea: "Xue'er, you have been with Zhang Liang for a long time, what do you think of him?"
"Mr. Zhang, this person, always finds it difficult to grasp his thoughts, and it was because of my mother that he took me in at the beginning, and his ancestors have been in Korea for five generations, and he has a lot of connections with my mother, so he saved my life. I put the tea in front of them one by one, and I thought about it: "Although Mr. Zhang is a weak man, he has never galloped on the battlefield in a red robe, but his attainments in military division should not be underestimated.
"The Book of Wonders." Fan Zeng looked very interested, and asked, "What a strange book?"
"Plain book."
"Sushu" was startled, and he didn't care about the hot tea splashing on his hand, but he just asked me with wide eyes: "Is it really Sushu, which is regarded by the people as a strange book and a book of heaven."
"Yes, I thought it was a Confucian tradition, but he said it was a book of soldiers."
"I can't believe that the Yellowstone Book of Heaven is in his hand." Fan Zeng also looked quite shocked, he stroked his beard, and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "It seems that our future troubles are indispensable."
