Chapter 48: The Surrender of Zhang Han (II)
Zhang Han and Xiang Yu looked at each other for a moment. Zhang Han's gaze shifted from Xiang Yu to his mount. It was a war horse that had accompanied him for many years. Now he has become Xiang Yu's pet. This made Zhang Han feel. Myself was humiliated. He roared. Wielding a halberd. Rushed towards Xiang Yu.
When a person's anger reaches a certain level. This anger will far outweigh fear. At this time. Zhang Han is in this state. He was in a rage. Not only is the courage doubled. The strength of the hand is also doubled. He roared. roared and rushed towards Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu also looked at Zhang Han coldly. I saw him suddenly roar with rage. Rush to yourself. Xiang Yu is like looking at a clown. Gazed for a moment. He laughed a few times. Urge to sit down and sit down. Leap out. Horizontal euphorbia. Resist Zhang Han's hard blow.
"Bump." Two weapons intersect. Sparks fly. The two separated again. But Xiang Yu refused to give up Zhang Han easily this time. He didn't run far. Benle turned the horse's head. The tail chased Zhang Han away.
Side. Zhang Ping, who has always fought hard, saw that his father was being pursued by Xiang Yu. At death's door. He immediately reined in the horse's head. Wielding a spear. With more than 100 relatives. roared angrily at Xiang Yu." XIANG Yu Piff. Hugh hurt my father."
Xiang Yu was suddenly attacked by Zhang Ping. Had to strangle the armistice horses. Wu Hu was frightened. Raise your front hooves. Hissing in place. Zhang Ping's spear pierced the abdomen of the black horse. Xiang Yu had just stabilized his figure. Raise the halberd at once. Pull away Zhangping's spear. Accompanied by the black horse's hooves to the ground. Xiang Yu roared angrily. Wielding a halberd, he picked up the chapter and walked away.
Zhang Ping panicked. Prostrate on horseback. Hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield. Dozens of people engaged in Xiang Yu. Fight to the death. But in the end, he was not Xiang Yu's opponent. was a halberd by Xiang Yu. Thorns fall off the horse.
Soon. A rapid sound of gold sounded in the direction of the Qin army's camp. on the battlefield. Qin Jun panicked. Hurriedly retreated. Xiang Yu provoked a Qin soldier with a halberd. Roar. At this time. Zhang Han and Zhang Ping have long fled without a trace. Xiang Yu was furious. Throwing the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army. Euphorbia front finger. "Rush over."
Chu Jun shouted. Charge forward. The shield soldiers are approaching the Qin army's camp. A dense rain of arrows roared. The Chu army could not move on. Can only be shot back with a bow and arrow. The battle between the two sides has reached a stalemate.
I don't know how long it has passed. The Chu army sounded the gong to collect the troops. on the battlefield. The Chu army dragged the wounded soldiers with three or five fives. Retreated.
......
Another fiasco. Zhang Han's confidence was almost crushed. A jug of wine has drunk half a jug. But Zhang Han didn't feel a little drunk. At this time. Zhang Ping, who had been beside him, was a little worried: "Father. Victory and defeat are impermanent. Don't drink it."
Zhang Han looked up at Zhang Ping. This son who has been fighting with him for many years. Zhang Han decided. At all costs. He is also going to give his son away. Come to think of it. Zhang Han slammed the table. Hate said: "Xiang Yu Pifu. I deceived me too much. Think I really can't fight him?"
Zhang Han got up suddenly. Pick up the long sword on the table. Get ready to go out. Zhang Ping grabbed Zhang Han on the side. Hurriedly: "Father. Thou shalt not be reckless."
Zhang Han was angry. A pro-rator walked in briskly. In front of Zhang Han, he arched his hand and said, "General. General Dong Yi asked to see him outside the tent."
"What is he going to do?" Zhang Han was slightly displeased. Dong Yi's performance today is extremely dissatisfied. If it weren't for his son Zhang Ping to come to the rescue. Zhang Han knows. It is very likely that he will be caught up by Lu Bu. Kill with one hit. But no matter how angry Zhang Han is. After all, he is still the commander of the first army. You can't worry about small things. Slightly calm the unhappiness in my heart. Zhang Han sighed. Xiang Qin commanded, "Bring him in."
He left with the song. Soon. Dong Yi walked into the big tent. He first glanced at the flask on the table. Then he looked at Zhang Ping again. I already know it in my heart. Zhang Han must have been annoyed by today's defeat. Think about it too. Since Xiang Yu went north. The Qin army was defeated repeatedly. Now the morale of the army is scattered. If you don't find a way out. Sooner or later, there will be a mutiny. But. Dong Yi is here tonight. It's not for anything else. Rather, it is to remind Zhang Han. As long as Sima Xinken sent an envoy to the Chu army. Xiang Yu must have been able to allow the Qin army to surrender.
At this time, Dong Yi came to Zhang Han. He arched his hand and said, "Is the general still worried about the defeat of the army during the day?"
Zhang Han had calmed down the dissatisfaction in his heart at this time. He looked at Dong Yi. With a slight tone of helplessness and reproach, he said, "General Dong has a clever plan to help me."
"Why don't you surrender to the Chu army." Dong Yi asked rhetorically.
Zhang Han is the most taboo at this time. It is to surrender the Chu army. Because Zhang Han knows it well. Xiang Yu will not accommodate himself. But Dong Yi brought up the matter again at this time. Zhang Han said angrily: "General Dong, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing that Zhang Han misunderstood himself. Dong Yi sighed lightly. Only then did he slowly say: "Don't misunderstand, general. As far as I know. When Xiang Liang fell into Liyang. He was helped by Sima Xin. before I got out of prison. At all costs. This is what the Xiang family owes to Sima Xin. If the general can make Sima Xin an envoy. I think. The Xiang family is no longer willing to accept the general. It is inevitable to return Sima Xin's favor. Allow the Qin army to surrender."
Stopped. Dong Yi looked at Zhang Han. See he's still listening. He continued: "Now the situation is clear. The court is mediocre. The Second Emperor was obsessed with the harem. I will fight a hundred battles. Serve the death of the country. You may not get a good death. Why don't you return to the Chu army early. Seek a home for my 200,000 soldiers of the Qin army."
Dong Yi's words. Zhang Han nodded slightly. If Sima Xin can really say that Xiang Yu is moving. Why don't you come down early? Let alone. Zhang Han was very clear in his heart. He is not Xiang Yu's opponent at all. Thinking so. Zhang Han shouted outside the tent: "Someone. Go and ask Sima Xin to come over."
Not much. Sima Xin hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army. As soon as he entered the big tent. I saw Zhang Ping and Dong Yi. Shi Cheng and others are there. He stepped forward. Give Zhang Hanshi a salute: "I've seen the general."
Zhang Han smiled and waved his hand. Signaling Sima Xin not to be polite.
There was a moment of silence. Sima Xin arched his hand and said, "The general is so anxious to find me. I don't know what's going on."
Seeing Sima Xin take the initiative to ask. Zhang Han smiled: "I heard. Xiang Liang once fell into Liyang. You put him with your own hands."
"Yes. Truly. Then. I'm in Liyang Prison." Sima Xin nodded. And again: "But. . . That time it was Xiang Zhuang's westward expansion. He has a very good relationship with the emperor's uncle and child. It was up to the child to come forward. Ordered to be released. I just let it go."
Sima Xin explained again. But Zhang Han didn't want to know any of this. He just opened up the conversation with Sima Xin through this incident. At this time, Zhang Han thought for a while. Then he asked, "The situation is critical. Our army is in a dilemma. If it goes on for a long time. There will inevitably be changes in the army. I would like to ask Lord Changshi to send an envoy to the State of Chu. Make a line for me. I would like to surrender to the Chu army. I don't know ......."
Zhang Han's sharp gaze stared at Sima Xin. Sima Xin did not shirk. He knew it in his heart. The situation of the Qin army at this time. It's better to surrender to the Chu army as soon as possible. It's safe. Come to think of it. Sima Xin arched his hand and said, "I am willing to take the general's party."
......
Sima Xin sent an envoy to the Chu army this time. And didn't bring too many followers. He was not wearing military armor. It's a spacious robe. Take a car. With two retinues. Hurried out of the Thorn Plain. Go to the Chu army garrison.
It's about a day's journey. Sima Xin finally came to Chuying. It was about thirty miles away from the camp. Then the patrol post of the Chu army set their sights on Sima Xin. After some cross-examination. Sima Xin has already visited Xiang Bo on the ground. Convince the Chu army to patrol the sentry. Ultimately. Under the watchful eye of more than a hundred Chu soldiers. Sima Xin's car crosses the mountain road. Came to the left guard camp of the Chu army.
The captain of the Left Guard Battalion asked for permission from Xiang Bo. Put Sima Xin and his party into the . Then. Xiang Bo also rushed to the camp gate. Meet Sima Xin. The two saluted each other. After self-reporting your name. Xiang Bo only knew. This is the benefactor who rescued Xiang Liang back then. To show your appreciation. Xiang Bo ordered people to prepare a sumptuous meal of wine.
It's nightfall. The food and drinks have just been served. Xiang Bo and Sima Xin were seated separately. Side. Xiang You sat on the side. There was a brief silence. Xiang Bo raised his glass and smiled: "Back then. I've heard my brother mention Master Sima. If it weren't for you, you would have done it. I'm afraid my brother has already died on the way north to build the Great Wall."
Seeing that Xiang Bo suddenly mentioned this matter. Sima Xin smiled and said, "It's just a small effort."
Both laughed. Sima Xin also raised a glass in return to Xiang Bo. Side. Xiang You interjected: "The grace of dripping water. When the gushing // spring reciprocates. Although Master Sima doesn't feel anything. But this matter is for our Xiang family. But it's a big deal."
Xiang You's words. attracted Sima Xin's appreciative gaze. The Xiang family is really talented. It's not just Xiang Yu. Xiang Zhuang's heroic spirit. Xiang You's answer is like a stream. It also made Sima Xin praise.
The so-called wine has passed three rounds. The relationship between several people is one level closer. Sima was glad to see that the time was ripe. He picked up his glass. He smiled a little helplessly: "The battle of Qin Chu. It's been going on for years. Dead and wounded on both sides. The list is endless. Now the Qin army is trapped in the Thorn Plain. I have no intention of fighting again. If Chu Jun is willing to take a step back. The Qin army is willing to surrender with all its troops. I don't know if your army is willing to surrender."
Sima Xin finally said what he meant. Xiang Bo couldn't help laughing. He also raised his glass. Laughing: "This matter. It's up to my general. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Master Sima......"
"No, no, no. Uncle Xiang must help with this matter. If the two countries continue to be at war. Winter is coming. The casualties on both sides will be even more severe. And. Although the Qin army has become a battle of trapped beasts. But the Qin army still had an army of 200,000. I'm afraid it's not something that the Chu army can defeat in a moment. Moreover. I've heard of it. King Huai once said first. The one who enters the customs first. Can be the king of Qin. Could it be that your army really only wants to be consumed in Hebei. Don't you enter the customs?"
Speaking of which. Sima Xin paused. He saw Uncle Xiang bow his head and ponder silently. Then he continued: "If Xiang Yu abandons our army and goes straight to Guanzhong. Zhang Han will inevitably attack him and stick to Xingyang. Then. There were ambushes in front of the Chu army. Later by the pursuers. How to get in."
Sima Xin's last sentence was a thorough move. If you can't accept the chapter Han. The Chu army would not be able to march westward with all its might. If Liu Bangjie is the first. Occupy Guanzhong. It's a big loss indeed. Come to think of it. Xiang Bo nodded in response, "Lord Sima might as well drink with peace of mind today. Tomorrow. I accompanied Master Sima to the Chinese army. Persuade Xiang Yu. How."
"There is an uncle to help. This will happen. I'd like to give Uncle Xiang a drink." Sima Xin was overjoyed. Raise a glass and drink it all.
