Chapter 38: Zhang Han asks for help



In the camp, the war drums beat slowly, an indescribable killing aura coiled in the big tent, and several messengers were also regarded as the generals of each ** team, but in front of Xiang Yu, like child's play, knelt down and entered.

The numbness from the knees made everyone feel extremely humiliated, but they didn't dare to openly confront Xiang Yu, so they came to the center of the big tent, knelt on the ground, made a big salute, and arched their hands: "I've seen General Xiang,"

Xiang Yu didn't pay attention to everyone, he seemed to be checking a roll of bamboo slips, until everyone saluted Xiang Yu again, Xiang Yu raised his head and smiled: "Why are you like this, please get up quickly,"

Xiang Yu's artificiality made everyone dissatisfied, they barely got up, but their knees were sore, so they squatted on the ground again, and only after a long sound did they slowly stand up, at this time, Xiang Yu looked at Chen Ping on the side, and ordered: "Look at the seat,"

Chen Ping handed a gesture to a few relatives, and several Chu soldiers came over and put a few soft mats on both sides of the big tent, and everyone thanked Xiang Yu and came to sit down on the soft mat, although his knees were still sore, but compared to just now, it was much better.

There was a brief silence in the big tent, and Xiang Yu's sharp gaze wandered around everyone before he asked, "Sima Wei, tell me, your army has always been hovering near the giant deer, what is the purpose?"

Is this Xiang Yu going to settle the general account with himself, Sima Wei was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face pretended to be calm, and sighed: "The Qin army is strong, I have several conflicts, and I am not allowed to get close to the giant deer, and then due to the lack of food and grass supplies, I had to retreat fifty miles to the village, please forgive General Xiang,"

"A good grain and grass is insufficient, my Great Chu army only carries three days of grain and grass, and I still know that I am brave enough to drive away the Qin army for your Zhao State, but you stop and watch, what is the reason," Xiang Yu was angry, Sima Wei's heart began to panic, he hurriedly got up, came to the center of the big tent, prostrate on the ground again, and said sincerely: "If our army still exists, the Qin army still has some concerns, but once our army is defeated, the Qin army has no worries, and it will definitely attack with all its might, at that time, the giant deer general is really lost, and I also ask General Xiang to see it,"

Xiang Yu's deterrence of Sima Wei, on the surface, is dissatisfied with Zhao State, but in fact, Xiang Yu is in disguised accusations of the coalition forces of various countries for not saving them, and in the past few days since Xiang Yu arrived in Julu, all the ** teams have been watching, which also makes Xiang Yu extremely dissatisfied with them, but now, Xiang Yu's deterrent purpose has been achieved, he pretended to think intently, half loud, and then sighed: "The matter has come to this, and I am not embarrassed for you,"

Saying that, Xiang Yu looked coldly at Sima Wei who was kneeling on the ground, and his tone was tough and could not be refused: "Although the Qin army has suffered a small defeat, it has not hurt the vitality, I will pacify the giant deer this time, and prepare to point the sword at Guanzhong, are you willing to be the forward and open the way for the general,"

"The sword pointed at Guanzhong," Xiang Yu is going to march to Guanzhong, Sima Wei quickly measured the countermeasures in his heart, but soon, Sima Wei realized that he had no chance to refuse, once he refused Xiang Yu, he was afraid that he would not even be able to go out of Chu Ying, thinking of this, Sima Wei replied with a trembling voice: "I...... The last general is willing,"

Seeing that he was the last general, Xiang Yu nodded with satisfaction, he looked at everyone again, and asked with a smile: "Are you willing to enter the customs with me, he will be defeated by the Qin State, you can all have a place, why not?"

"We are willing to follow General Xiang Yu,"

Hit first and then reward, this is Xiang Yu's cleverness, in the camp partiality, Xiang Yu set up a banquet to entertain the messengers, at this time, a team of Chu soldiers with dishes, placed in front of everyone's table,

Those who can accompany the wine here, there are Fan Zeng, Chen Ping, Long And, Yu Ziqi and other confidants and love generals, several messengers also have their own seats, the soldiers who are responsible for pouring wine between the banquets are busy, a burst of military music sounded, several strangely dressed soldiers held wooden swords, ran into the big tent, and danced for everyone,

Outside the tent, Han Xin also held a wine bag, put the halberd aside, and drank the stuffy wine by himself.

Today, although envoys from various countries came to ask for a meeting, in Zhang Han's eyes, he felt that this was a farce, how could there be such an envoy, kneeling down and entering the account, to ask to see Xiang Yu, even if they were afraid of Xiang Yu's might, they could completely collect troops and return to China, instead of lingering here,

Although resentful, but Han Xin has no military position, so he has to complain about himself, recalling that when he went north, Xiang Zhuang refused to give up himself, he insisted on coming, he wanted to stand out under Xiang Yu on the side of the megatron, but he didn't want to, just arrived, he was demoted to the military power, demoted to the outside of the account as a halberd, and also lost the army that Xiang Zhuang allocated to himself, thinking about all this, Han Xin couldn't help laughing at himself,

With reluctance and despair in the laughter, Han Xin decided that once he had the opportunity, he must leave the Chu camp and stay away from the land of right and wrong......

Suddenly, the laughter in the tent interrupted Han Xin's contemplation, he got up and looked at the big tent, he didn't know what these people were talking about, the laughter was so unbearable, Han Xin snorted angrily, took the halberd, and walked towards the open space not far away,

In the big tent, everyone's hearty laughter sounded, the so-called wine after three rounds, the atmosphere in the tent was much better, at this time, everyone had passed out from the shame of kneeling into the account, talking about Xiang Yu's commitment to everyone after entering the customs,

Everyone will have their own piece of land, although they can't be kings, but they can be princes for a while, which is also something that everyone can't dream of.

For the sake of Xiang Yu's promise, they have decided to follow Xiang Yu with all their hearts, at this time, Sima Wei has already smiled with a cup: "I don't know what the general has planned,"

"Intended," Xiang Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Sima Wei drunkenly, shook his body and stood up, walked to the door of the tent, pointed in the direction of Thorn Yuan and said: "The first thing I want to do is to kill Zhang Han, and the second thing is to sweep through Guanzhong and break through the Qin capital,"

The banquet was eaten for four hours, at this time, Fan Zeng had Xiang Yu drunk in the name of getting up to see everyone off, but Xiang Yu, but after everyone left, he suddenly became sober, and the drunkenness just now was swept away, at this time, looking at the back of everyone leaving, Xiang Yu showed a disdainful smile,

"General, with all kinds of coalition forces, our strength will be close to 200,000, and a battle with Zhang Han is imperative," Chen Ping, who never left, said with a smile.

Yes, 200,000 troops, Zhang Han is afraid, Xiang Yu thought so, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh,

Outside the Chu camp, Fan Zeng talked and laughed with everyone, and the soldiers of various countries who had been waiting for a long time greeted them one after another, some rushed to the chariot, some led the war horse, and several messengers saluted Fan Zeng before they left.

Looking at the backs of their departure, Fan Zeng was in a good mood, and when he co-opted these troops, Xiang Yu's strength jumped by a thousand feet, and he was no longer the ignorant young man who was at the mercy of others, and his means of suppressing the generals of various countries today were completely beyond Fan Zeng's expectations, and Fan Zeng's understanding of Xiang Yu, and the battle with Zhang Han was probably about to start.

Fan Zeng pondered for a moment, but slowly walked towards the camp, suddenly, the relatives on the side pointed into the distance, and said with great joy: "General Fan, look at that,"

Fan Zeng turned around and looked, an army with the Chu flag, slowly coming, the first person, it was Xiang Bo, behind him, in the endless procession, a carriage full of supplies, Fan Zeng couldn't help but be overjoyed after seeing it: "The supplies we are waiting for have finally arrived,"

,,,,,,

Thorn Plain, here stationed Qin army 200,000 troops, at this time the Qin army has become a frightened bird, the turtle in the urn, the Chu army in yesterday, has moved to the south bank of the Zhanghe River, standing by the mountain, the Chu camp stretches for a hundred miles, there are nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, the momentum is extremely huge, and the Qin army in Thorn Plains across the river to watch,

At this time, the morale of the Qin army was low, and even the main general Zhang Han lost the determination to fight Xiang Yu again, and only cowered in the camp all day long, refusing to go out half a step, and Sima Xin, Dong Yi and others were extremely worried, they were very worried that the elimination of the main general would affect the morale of the whole army.

The two also advised Zhang Han to evacuate the Thorn Plains as soon as possible, temporarily return to Sanchuan County, cultivate sergeants, and avoid Chu Feng, but Zhang Han believes that Xiang Yu is now strong and strong, and military supplies have just been sent to the army, it is the best time to take advantage of the victory to fight, how can he give up,

In this way, a big war is inevitable, which is also what Zhang Han is most worried about, the only thing he can do is to ask the court for help, hoping that the second emperor will send troops to help as soon as possible, otherwise, the 200,000 troops under his command can survive this difficulty, it is unpredictable,

After wandering in the tent for a while, Zhang Han returned to his position and sat down, he had looked at Sima Xin and Dong Yi, who had been silent at this time, and sighed helplessly: "In this battle, we are no longer sure of defeating the Chu army, the only thing I can do is to repair a book, Lord Changshi can rush back to Xianyang in the starry night, hand it over to my emperor, and ask him to immediately order troops to help,"

Sima Xin saw that Zhang Han had decided to ask for help, so he had to sigh lightly: "I'm very worried, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, once the Chu army kills, what will the general do?"

"I will wait for the opportunity to retreat south, this is our only way out, the Hebei area, I am afraid that it can no longer be owned by the Qin State," Zhang Han was slightly depressed, Hebei, he was unable to recover,

Dong Yi saw that Zhang Han was giving up on himself, so he reminded him: "Handan, and Li Liang's 20,000 army, if the general retreats to Handan, it can still support a season, and when the reinforcements arrive, the Chu army is not afraid,"

"The soldiers have no intention of fighting again, even if the city is defended, it is in vain, it is better to retreat south, avoid its edge, it is more secure, I am only worried, only the Chu army will take advantage of the chaos to attack and disturb our army, at that time, we are in a dilemma, but it is not good, therefore, I have always refused to withdraw the troops, is here," Zhang Han sighed again, on the side, his son Zhang Ping also sighed a little helplessly: "Father can not grow other people's ambition, destroy his own prestige, if my father is willing, I am willing to lead the army to fight, Xiang Yu, do not kill this horseman, I vow not to return to the army,"

"Bastard, are you Xiang Yu's opponent," Zhang Han reprimanded with a slashed face: "If Xiang Yu is really so easy to deal with, why should I be here, do you think that it is no longer usable to be a father?"

"My son doesn't dare," Zhang Ping hurriedly knelt down,

Zhang Han looked at his son's panicked appearance, but shook his head helplessly, "You get up,"

Zhang Ping got up, Zhang Han picked up the brush, struggled to write on a bundle of bamboo slips, and then handed the bamboo slips to Sima Xin, and instructed: "The life and death of the whole army are all on this, you return to Xianyang immediately, you must persuade Your Majesty to send reinforcements, otherwise you will ......"

Zhang Han couldn't say any more, he looked at the bamboo slip in his hand again, only sighed lightly, handed the bamboo slip to Sima Xin, and then waved his hand to everyone: "You all go down, I want to be alone,"
