Chapter 49: Huannan is surrendered



In the early morning, the drums in the Chu military camp were loud, and the soldiers of each battalion rushed out of the big tent and ran to the open space.

On the gallop road between each camp, Xiang Bo took Sima Xin and hurried to the Chinese army, they walked about a stick of incense, came to the Chinese army's big tent, more than 100 Chu army elites patrolled back and forth, they saw Sima Xin, and immediately stepped forward to stop: "What person,"

Xiang Bolai came closer, turned over and dismounted, he handed the reins to one of the Chu soldiers, and then introduced to a hundred commanders: "He is the envoy of the Qin State, and he has something important to ask to see General Xiang Yu, you can go and report it,"

Bai Chang saw Xiang Bo speak in person, he didn't dare to slack off, sang a promise, and hurriedly walked to the big tent, and after a while, Bai Chang walked out of the big tent quickly, he came to the two of them, and arched his hand and said: "The general is invited,"

Xiang Bo nodded, and walked into the big tent with Sima Xin, at this time, Long And, Fan Zeng and other ordinary people have already assembled in the big tent, they saw that the Qin army sent envoys again, and they stood on both sides, only Fan Zeng came to Xiang Yu's side, and said softly: "Instead of fighting here, it is better to surrender and march west, otherwise, Guanzhong will be Liu Bangjie first,"

Xiang Yu nodded slightly, but he didn't promise Fan Zeng anything, Fan Zeng knew that Xiang Yu was still difficult to overcome the hurdle of Xiang Liang's defeat, so he had to sigh lightly and return to his position, at this time, Sima Xin had come to the center of the big tent, he bowed his hand to Xiang Yu and said: "Under Sima Xin, I have seen General Xiang,"

Xiang Yu only nodded slightly, indicating that he returned the salute, and after a while, Xiang Yu asked coldly: "Lord Sima, I don't know what you are doing this time,"

"For Zhang Han to be a lobbyist," Sima Xin answered Xiang Yu bluntly without concealment, on the side, Xiang Bo hurriedly walked a few steps, came to Sima Xin's side, looked at Xiang Yu and said: "Sima Xin is Xiang Liang's benefactor that day, Yu'er needs to treat this person well,"

Hearing that Sima Xin was Xiang Liang's benefactor, Xiang Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, it seemed that there was indeed a Liyang Prison Sima Xin who had helped his uncle Xiang Liang, presumably, this person,

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Since you are your uncle's old friend, I will give you a face,"

Xiang Yu looked at his relatives on the side and ordered, "Look at the seat,"

A personal entourage brought a wooden pier and put it on the side of the big tent, here is the guest seat, Sima Xin thanked him, came to sit down on the wooden pier, at this time, all the generals in the tent also sat back in their positions, Xiang Yu looked at Sima Xin, and saw that he was not afraid because of the great strength of the Chu army, it was a hundred sets stronger than the last time he came to make Shi Cheng, Xiang Yu had silently recognized Sima Xin in his heart, after a short silence, Xiang Yu took the lead in speaking: "My army is ready to fight, ready to fight to the death, Lord Sima thinks, Is it necessary for me to accept the surrender of the Qin army,"

Sima Xin knew that Xiang Yu was an unruly person, and if he followed him, it would make him despise himself even more, so he changed his face and said: "If General Xiang Yu wants to enter the customs as soon as possible, unless he surrenders, otherwise, our army will bring 200,000 armor in the Thorn Plain, although it has been defeated repeatedly, it can be postponed until the spring of the next year, as soon as spring arrives, reinforcements arrive, try to ask General Xiang Yu what advantages he has to be able to break through the Qin camp,"

"You dare to despise me so much," Xiang Yu was furious, got up suddenly, pointed at Sima Xin and said: "You can let Zhang Han fight quickly, I will definitely fight this horseman to the death,"

Seeing Xiang Yu angry, Sima Xin secretly shook his head and continued: "The general's superior force is the courage of ten thousand people, but the two armies are fighting, not only the generals and commanders, once our army is deep and high, and the village is based on the mountain, can General Xiang Yu break through the Qin army camp in an instant?"

Speaking of this, Sima Xin got up proudly, completely without the posture of pleading with Xiang Bo yesterday, he walked back and forth in the big tent for a few steps, and continued: "Those who have become great things since ancient times will be able to accommodate Haichuan, just imagine, when Zhang Han conquered General Xiang Liang, it was each its master, and today, Zhang Han intended to surrender, but the general refused Zhang Han has been thousands of miles, if the Qin army is united as one because of this, swearing to defend the camp, the Chu army may not be able to conquer the Qin camp in a short time, and winter is coming, the heavy snow is closed, and the military supplies are difficult to deliver, at that time, you and I are deadlocked, Both sides will have a lot of losses, but Liu Bang can take the opportunity to enter the customs, unify the customs, and enjoy the throne of the king of Qin alone.

After Sima Xin finished speaking, he gave Uncle Xiang a look, Uncle Xiang understood, got up and added: "Sima Xin once had a favor with my Xiang family, why don't Yu'er sell face to Sima Xin and accept Zhang Han's surrender, in this way, my army is as many as 400,000, and the momentum is huge, why worry about the uncertainty in the pass, and the Qin State will not die,"

The two of them repeatedly dissuaded, Xiang Yu became hesitant, and on the side, Fan Zeng also said in a deep voice: "If we abandon Zhang Han and take Guanzhong directly, Zhang Han's 200,000 Qin army will be the biggest threat to our rear, if we want to raze Zhang Han and enter the Guanzhong, I am afraid that there will not be a few months to calm down, and now since Zhang Han intends to surrender, why shouldn't the general allow it,"

Fan Zeng's reminder made Xiang Yu realize that at this time, everyone had supported the surrender of Zhang Han, and the surrender of Zhang Han was a fundamental solution to the final battle between the Chu army and the Qin army, and even in the big tent, the main generals of the rest of the countries also stared at Xiang Yu with expectant eyes, at this moment, Xiang Yu knew that he had no choice, and if he still insisted on his opinion, it would disappoint many people.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Yu sighed: "Since it is Lord Sima who comes to say it personally, I promise you to accept Zhang Han's surrender and never harm each other,"

,,,,,,

Three days later, 200,000 Qin troops arrived in Huannan, which is north of Anyang County, called Yinxu, at this time, the sound of low horns whimpered in the plain, and the Qin army began to slowly line up,

Soon, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves sounded in the distance, the banner of the Chu army gradually appeared, a group of tens of thousands of Chu army cavalry galloped on horseback, Zhang Han, who had always stopped in the Qin army array, rode his horse to the front of the formation, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, Xiang Yu was wearing silver armor at this time, and he looked majestic, with such a strong enemy, it should be a happy life, but Zhang Han was not happy,

At this time, the Chu army was less than five hundred steps away from the Qin army, Zhang Han looked back at the Qin army soldiers with a blank face, sighed lightly, Zhang Han raised his hand and ordered: "Throw the flag,"

The soldiers of the Qin army stepped forward one after another, throwing the banners of the Qin army together, and several soldiers of the Qin army held torches in their hands and threw them into the fire, and the fire swallowed all the flags in an instant.

The soldiers of the Qin army silently watched as the flag was burned, and from then on, they would no longer be the Qin army.

Soon, the cavalry regiment of the Chu army surrounded the Qin army, and the first general was Long Ji, who rode his horse around the Qin army's array, raised his hand and shouted: "All weapons are handed over,"

The soldiers of the Qin army looked at Zhang Han one after another, Zhang Han had no choice at this time, he looked at Long Ji, and then looked at the 200,000 soldiers of the Qin army, the long phalanx, all staring at themselves, Zhang Han took off his sword first and threw it to the ground, and soon, a soldier of the Qin army also threw down his weapon, and under the arrangement of the Chu army, he concentrated on the open field,

Soon, with the sound of a low horn, the main force of the Chu army arrived, on both flanks of the main force of the Chu army, it was the team of the coalition forces of various countries, they all held high the banner, majestic, and looked at the Qin army with disdain, this battle was fought so hard, finally, the Qin army surrendered,

Xiang Yu has always been watching the Qin army in the cavalry group, at this time, the main force arrived, the Qin army was also disrupted according to the regulations, the dragon and the horse rushed over, after reporting to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu nodded, he reined in the horse to the Qin army array, Zhang Han took Sima Xin and Dong Yi and others to meet him quickly, almost in front of Xiang Yu's horse, Zhang Han knelt on one knee, arched his hand and said: "Sin general Zhang Han, I have seen General Xiang,"

As soon as Zhang Han's voice fell, a group of old tears fell, and his voice gradually became choked, he saw that Xiang Yu was indifferent, and continued: "The Qin army, 210,000 people, is willing to surrender to the Chu army, obey General Xiang's arrangement, and have no complaints,"

This time, Xiang Yu didn't snub Zhang Han, he turned over and dismounted, picked up Zhang Han with one hand, patted Zhang Han's shoulder, and reassured: "The general doesn't have to be like this, today // Since you have surrendered to the Chu army, in the future, you and I will be colleagues, and I will treat you well,"

Zhang Han saw that Xiang Yu did not show a trace of hostility, he was shocked in his heart, but he had to reply: "It is the fault of the guilty general, you can't surrender to the Chu army early, there is no regret at this time, today General Xiang is so tolerant of us, on behalf of the 200,000 Qin army, I thank General Xiang for not killing,"

"I'm waiting for General Xie Xiang's grace not to kill,"

The 200,000 Qin troops knelt down one after another, and at this time, Xiang Yu patted Zhang Han's shoulder again and comforted: "On the day of breaking Qin, wealth and wealth will be shared, and they will never be disappointed,"

After pacifying Zhang Han, Xiang Yu looked at Sima Xin and Dong Yi again, the two followed closely behind Zhang Han, Xiang Yu patted everyone on the shoulder one by one, and then ordered: "Sima Xin, Dong Yi, I will order you two to share the military power, lead 200,000 Qin troops as the vanguard, and open the way for our army,"

The two sang a promise, Xiang Yu looked at Zhang Han again, and said with a smile: "I will pay tribute to the king of Chu and crown you as the king, during this time, follow me to the Chinese army to listen to the order,"

Xiang Yu gave off his military power so clearly, although Zhang Han was unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to refute anything, so he had to give up his hand and sing a promise, at this time, Xiang Yu looked at the 200,000 Qin army again, and waved his hand and ordered: "Gather troops and march west,"

,,,,,,

Since the collection of Deng Qi's Nanyang army, Liu Bang's army has grown to more than 100,000 again, and the momentum is extremely huge, all the way to the west, out of Danshui, Huyang, down to Li, and directly to Wuguan City,

The defenders of Wuguan are less than 20,000 people, and they are all stunned when they see the Chu army coming to kill at this time, but Wuguan belongs to the strongest fortress in the south of Guanzhong, if Wuguan is lost, Guanzhong is shaken, and the foundation of Qin will be shaken.

Therefore, the Wuguan guards have always refused to give up the Wuguan, and ordered the sergeants to defend strictly, ready to fight to the death with the Chu army, and the Chu army at this time, is also arranging troops, if the Wuguan is broken, it is equivalent to half a foot into the pass, therefore, the Chu army is mighty and morale is high.

With the rumbling drum beating and the low horn whimpering, the general of the Chu army, Fan Xu, rode his horse to the front of the battle, he stared at Wuguan on the horse for a while, drew a long sword from his waist, cut through the air, and roared: "Kill, the one who enters the customs first, the official will be promoted to the third level,"

The Chu army rushed forward like a landslide and tsunami, the earth trembled, and soon, the shield soldiers arrived at Wuguan a hundred steps away, on the city tower, arrows rained down, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, but there were still many soldiers rushed into the rain of arrows, and ran to the city,

When the crossbowmen of the Chu army arrived at the city tower fifty steps away, they began to draw their bows and arrows, and launched a counterattack to Wuguan, and a cloud ladder also arrived at the bottom of Wuguan City, accompanied by the friction sound of "squeak, squeak, ya", a cloud ladder set up the city, and the Chu soldiers shouted, climbing up......

The battle lasted for a whole day and a night, and finally, under the strong attack of the Chu army, Wuguan fell, and from then on, Liu Bang's army rapidly advanced towards Guanzhong,
