Liu Bang's Chinese army is located in the west of Wancheng, where there are nearly 50,000 Chu troops, at this time in the Chu army array, there are constantly cavalry pouring out, this is the rhythm of the upcoming siege,

The rumbling drum was still beating non-stop, and soon, a cavalry galloped over, he had been marching through the army at a very fast speed, and soon, he came to the banner of Xu, in front of Liu Bang's horse, the cavalryman arched his hand on the horse and said: "Lord, Nanyang County Magistrate, Chen Hui asks to see,"

Hearing Chen Hui's name, Liu Bang was slightly surprised, and on the side, Zhang Liang laughed and said, "This battle is bloodless,"

"They are here to surrender," Liu Bang also laughed heartily, he looked at Zhang Liang intently, Zhang Liang smiled back and nodded: "The strange soldiers are killed back, covering up their unpreparedness, so that the Qin army is unable to organize an army to resist, therefore, the Nanyang County guard has probably decided to surrender,"

Hearing the word surrender, Liu Bang raised his head and laughed: "My soldiers are coming to the city, the army is about to break out, Wancheng is bound to win, how can he say that he will surrender?"

Although Liu Bang is a little arrogant, Zhang Liang can understand Liu Bang's mood at this time, after all, the battle of Wancheng, the Chu army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties here, such a painful lesson, Liu Bang is indeed difficult to accept the surrender of the Qin army, but if he continues to storm Wancheng, even if he takes this city, the Chu army will also have a lot of casualties, which is also what Zhang Liang is most worried about, after all, at this time, the Chu army has not yet entered the pass, and he will have to pay a heavy price.

Thinking like this, Zhang Liang looked at Liu Bang and said with a dry smile: "General Liu, treat the guards of Nanyang County well, not just to take Wancheng, but to incorporate tens of thousands of troops in Wancheng through it, and once the guards of Nanyang County surrender, the territory of Nanyang County will definitely collapse, and our army can have a lot less resistance, which is beneficial to the soldiers entering Wuguan,"

Zhang Liang's advice this time, Liu Bang listened to it, he nodded slightly, and ordered: "Bring the messenger here,"

Not long after, Chen Hui rode a horse and followed several Chu soldiers to the Chinese army, and a captain rode forward and searched Chen Hui's body, and saw that there was no hidden weapon, so he let Chen Hui enter the Chinese army.

After walking for a distance, Chen Hui finally saw Liu Bang, he was wearing a red big sword, a long sword at the waist and hips, majestic, exactly the same as the last time he saw it on the city tower, he hurriedly rode his horse over, and after jumping off the horse, Chen Hui arched his hand and said: "In Xia Nanyang County Magistrate Shi Chen Hui, I have seen General Liu,"

Liu Bang glanced at Chen Hui and asked with a smile: "I don't know if Lord Changshi came here, did he want to fight or make peace?"

Chen Hui didn't expect Liu Bang to ask so bluntly, he thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask General Liu, do you want to go straight to the pass without bloodshed, or do you want to fight in Nanyang County for half a month and enter the pass?"

Chen Hui's words were very appropriate, Liu Bang couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "You can tell me in detail,"

"I heard that the king of Chu Huai has said first, the first to enter the pass, can be the king of Qin, just imagine the Chu general Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang is the general of the gate, a hundred generals, now, Xiang Yu is fighting in Hebei, there is a great trend of westward expansion, and Xiang Zhuang, I heard that he has abandoned Changsha, all his strength to go north, the purpose can be imagined, must be to fight for Nanyang, if General Liu wants to fight here, he will come to the north of Xiangzhuang, I am afraid that General Liu may not be able to get benefits,"

Chen Hui said this, paused, he looked up at Liu Bang, who was staring at him on the horse, and saw that his eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something, Chen Hui stopped speaking,

After a while, Liu Bang woke up from his contemplation, he looked at Chen Hui, and asked with a smile, "What else?"

"If the general Kenna surrenders to the county to guard Deng Qi, Deng Qi will be ruined and serve the general, just imagine, the county guard surrenders to the general, the land of Nanyang, who will block the general's westward advance, besides, once the general collects and annexes the soldiers and horses of Wancheng, the army can still grow, and he can also order Deng Qi to organize the people, and send the grain and grass to Guanzhong, so that the general does not have to worry about the lack of food and grass, at that time, the soldiers serve their orders, and the people's hearts are one, why worry about the Qin State is not destroyed, and the Guanzhong is uncertain,"

Chen Hui's words have completely moved Liu Bang, he nodded slightly at this time, turned to look at Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang also admired Chen Hui's eloquence, he nodded to Liu Bang, Liu Bang laughed and said: "You can go back, if Deng Qi is willing to submit to me, I will definitely not treat you badly,"

Chen Hui was overjoyed when he saw Liu Bang's promise, gave Liu Bang a deep salute, turned around and got on his horse, and left the Chinese army under the leadership of several Chu soldiers.

Chen Hui's figure gradually faded away, Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang, and asked with a smile: "Deng Qi surrendered, what is the sincerity?"

"I think it's okay to listen,"

Liu Bang thought for a moment again, he looked at Li Shiqi and Xiao He and others, everyone thought that the Nanyang Army could be annexed, Liu Bang made up his mind, he waved his hand forward, and ordered: "Follow me to the front line,"

,,,,,,

Wancheng City, Deng Qi has already put his sword into the sheath, at this time, he has come to Xicheng, after seeing Chen Hui rushed to the Chu army, Deng Qi's whole person became nervous, if God gave him two choices, one is life, the other is death, Deng Qi will definitely not hesitate, choose to surrender to the Chu army, continue to live in this world,

But will God give himself such a chance?

Deng Tong didn't know what his future fate would be, but at the moment, he only hoped that Chen Hui would not let himself down, anxiously waiting, Deng Tong faintly saw that in the distance, Chen Hui rode his horse and galloped over, and when he was marching, Deng Qi couldn't wait to order: "Quick, put down the bamboo basket and pull Chen Changshi up,"

After a cup of tea, Chen Hui came to Deng Tong's side, at this time, he was a little embarrassed, all the way to the dust, and finally rushed back, he came to Deng Qi, just about to salute, Deng Qi had already held up Chen Hui with one hand, sighed: "It's all at this time, no need to be polite,"

Chen Hui thanked him, and then said with a smile: "General Liu has promised to accept the surrender of Nanyang County, and he will also treat the adults well, I hope the adults will not be suspicious,"

Hearing that Liu Bang Kenna surrendered himself, Deng Qi ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart, he turned around, held the wall with both hands, stared into the distance, and faintly saw that Liu Bang's banner was moving towards the army, Deng Qi thought for a while, he finally made up his mind, turned around and looked at Changshi Chen Hui, and said angrily: "Okay, pass the order to the three armies, lower the Qin flag, and open the city to welcome Liu Bang,"

,,,,,,

An hour later, the west gate of Wancheng slowly opened, Deng Qi was naked, tied his hands with thorns, carried a mace, followed by a coffin, and slowly came to the front of the Chu army.

Deng Qi shouted with a little remorse: "The guilty general Deng Qi, I don't know the power of heaven, there is something offended, please forgive General Liu,"

When Liu Bang saw Deng Qi, he hurriedly dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, helped Deng Qi up, removed the thorns on his body, and wrapped Deng Qi with his own cloak, and then smiled and said: "The general is willing to surrender, I am very relieved,"

Deng Qi held the reins of the war horse and escorted Liu Bang into the city, since then, Nanyang County has completely returned to the Chu army and been under the rule of Liu Bang.

,,,,,,

The confrontation between the Qin army and the Chu army has been more than half a month, due to the sudden drop in temperature in Hebei, the war between the two armies is much less, but the Chu army will harass the Qin army from time to time, and challenge back and forth.

He will come to the sentry tower every day to watch the distance, hoping that Sima Xin can return as soon as possible, his only hope at this time is that the imperial court can send reinforcements to reinforce the Thorn Plain, so that with Zhang Han's many years of combat experience, he can still fight with the Chu army, otherwise, Zhang Han can only break through the Chu army's defense line and retreat to Sanchuan County,

Retreating to Sanchuan County is not a long-term solution, not long ago intelligence shows that Liu Bang once fought in Sanchuan County, and the guard Yang Xiong was beheaded by the imperial court because of his poor supervision of the war, and he has not been regained military power, only because he still has 200,000 Qin troops in his hands, Zhao Gao is afraid of himself, so he will temporarily forbear, but Zhang Han knows that if he does not invite reinforcements, he will end up with Yang Xiong sooner or later,

In melancholy, Zhang Han let out a long sigh on the watchtower, and at this time, his son Zhang Ping's excited laughter sounded behind him: "Father, look at that, it's Lord Changshi who has returned,"

Zhang Han looked in the direction of Zhang Ping's finger, and sure enough, it was Sima Xin who came on horseback, Zhang Han was very happy in his heart, he immediately turned around and walked towards the bottom of the watchtower,

Soon, Zhang Han and others rode horses to the front of the camp gate, not far away, Sima Xin and other more than 100 horsemen also ran closer and closer, and when they got closer, Sima Xin anxiously jumped off the horse, came to Zhang Han's side, and arched his hand and said: "Sima Xin is late to come back, so the general is worried,"

Seeing Sima Xin's tired face, Zhang Han patted Sima Xin's shoulder guiltily, and said hurriedly: "What is the will of the imperial court?"

Seeing that Zhang Han was so anxious to inquire about this, Sima Xin looked around and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the big tent and talk about it,"

A few people soon came to the big tent of the Chinese army, at this time, several relatives brought tea, Sima Xin took a cup, took a sip of the drum, and then sighed: "This trip to Xianyang, I'm afraid I will disappoint the general,"

Hearing Sima Xin's first sentence say this, Zhang Han felt that his heart was like falling into a deep valley, if the imperial court refused to send troops, and refused to allocate supplies, his own grain and grass, it would be difficult to survive this winter, Zhang Han thought about this, and couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Could it be ...... Won't Your Majesty increase your troops?"

"It's not Your Majesty, it's Zhao Gao," Sima Xin deliberately bit the word Zhao Gao very hard, and after a pause, Sima Xin continued: "Now Zhao Gao's power in the court is very great, I can't see Your Majesty at all, and Zhao Gao is already in charge of the military power at this time, he has already started to kill, the general will die in this battle, and he will die if he loses, and he will also ask the general to judge himself,"

"Bang" The teacup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, Zhang Han stared at Sima Xin quietly, half a sound, not knowing what to say,

After a long silence, Sima Xin got up and persuaded: "The general might as well surrender to the Chu army, there is still a glimmer of life, otherwise it will ......"

Zhang Han felt physically and mentally exhausted, he couldn't listen to Sima Xin's persuasion, he lowered his head and thought for a moment and waved his hand, interrupting Sima Xin's words, and only sighed lightly: "Lord Changshi has worked hard all the way, let's go back and rest early, this matter, let me think about it,"

Sima Xin left, Zhang Han dragged his tired body, pacing in the tent, he didn't know where he should go, on the side, Zhang Ping said anxiously: "Father, Sima Xin is right, we ...... It's better to come down,"

"It's down," Zhang Han seemed to be infinitely unwilling, but in the current situation, he was helpless, and after a while, Zhang Han finally made up his mind, he looked outside the tent, and ordered loudly: "Come to someone, let Shicheng come to my account to listen to the order,"
