Chapter 55: Defend against the enemy



After killing Zhao Gao, Ying Ziying ordered his sons Ying Tie and Ying Liang to divide the military power, and transferred 3,000 soldiers from the Northern Army, and took Zhao Cheng, Yan Le, Xing Kangsheng, Shun Yingfan, Gong Wenchang, Li Hetong, Chu Heshuo, Bao Mingzhi and other more than 100 minions to purge the Qing Dynasty and the opposition, and in the afternoon, convened hundreds of officials in Xianyang Palace to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

The Chu army entered the pass, and the Qin State had reached a precarious point, although Ying Ziying killed Zhao Gao and collected his henchmen, but how to hold the only place in the Qin State was the key.

At this time, in the main hall, Han Tan read the edict aloud: "Dune edict, Li Si, Zhao Gaozhi's conspiracy, the eldest son Fusu, innocent and wronged, although Li Si died, Zhao Gao survived alone, and now he has been killed by my king...... This edict is hereby issued, those who are willing to break away from Zhao Gao will be exempted from all past crimes, and should assist our king with their hearts, clear the Chu army, and restore my Great Qin ......"

After Han Tan finished reading the edict, the mountain cry of hundreds of officials sounded in the hall: "The king is wise, may my king be a thousand years old and a thousand years old......"

At this time, Ying Ziying is no longer the emperor, he has the throne in the world, hundreds of officials bow down to the ministers, there is a murderous atmosphere in the hall, strange quiet, no one dares to make a sound.

It can be said that Zhao Gao monopolized the power, and with the support of Hu Hai, he was in the middle of the court, excluding dissidents, and killing countless ministers, even Ying Ziying had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, hiding the edge, and today was finally overthrown, Ying Ziying was inexplicably happy in his heart, he had sharp eyes at this time, and he walked around the hall, and then sighed: "Now that the Chu people have entered the customs, the Qin State is in danger, and the secretaries can have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

No one in the hall answered, and soon, his son Yingtie walked out of the court and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead the army to meet the Chu army." ”

"The morale of the Chu army is strong, and it is not easy to fight hard, but it can be retreated slowly." A middle-aged minister walked out of the court, Ying Ziying looked at him intently, he didn't know this person, but asked, "Who is Qing?" ”

"The minister is the left squire of the imperial history, Dong Yun."

Ying Ziying nodded, and said: "What kind of strategy is the slow retreat that Qing said, let's listen to it." ”

"My Great Qin is now under the enemy in the north and south, since Zhang Han returned to the Chu army, Xiang Yu's morale is flourishing, marching westward, and in the south, Liu Bang captured Wancheng, and conquered Wuguan in a few days, straight into the pass, these two ways of soldiers and horses Our army can not meet head-on, if the king wants to retreat from the enemy, first of all, you must stick to the pass, hold the danger, wait for the heavy snow to fall, the Chu army will naturally retreat, and then, the king can rest the internal affairs, enrich the people, recruit troops to resist the enemy, in order to clear the Chu army, and then try to recover the land of Kanto is not too late......"

Dong Yun's words were about to be at the critical point, Ziying thought for a while, nodded, and sighed: "Qing's words are very true. ”

Ying Ziying looked at his son Ying Tie again, although this son's courage is commendable, but at the moment, it is not the time for the Qin State to face the Chu army head-on, otherwise, once the army is defeated, Guanzhong will really not be able to hold it.

At this time, Ying Ziying's eyes swept around the big tent, and he suddenly found that Geng Fa, a brave general who had followed him in a hundred battles, was always looking at him, which was a kind of expectant gaze.

After a short period of thought, Ying Ziying ordered: "Geng Fa, the widow ordered you to be the general, allocate 50,000 troops, and reinforce the pass, are you willing?" ”

"The last general is willing to die for the king."

"Okay, the widow will be the deputy general again, go with you, remember, you can't be invincible, you must stick to the danger, it is the king."

"The last general obeys!"

"The retainers take the order." Yingtie also walked out and gave his hand to Geng Fa // beside him.

。。。。。。

After a few days, the Chu army finally arrived at the pass, due to the high road of the pass, the Chu army marched for days, tired, and the material delivery was difficult, so that the Chu army could not attack the city in a short time, so that the camp was all over the mountain opposite the pass, and looked at the pass.

In the past few days, Liu Bang often brings a few henchmen to the mountains, looking at the pass between the cliffs covered with mountains and forests, although the pass is still far away, in Liu Bang's eyes it is just a small earthen city, but above the pass, there are a lot of Qin troops patrolling back and forth, and it can be vaguely seen that the Qin army has been heavily stationed in the pass, which is to strangle the Chu army into the pass.

For Liu Bang, breaking through the pass, entering Lantian, and Xianyang can be broken in the near future, this is a battle that determines the life and death of the Qin State, and it is also a battle that changes the fate of Liu Bang, so Liu Bang attaches great importance to this battle.

The excitement in my heart is difficult to calm down, after many years of marching, the battlefield of a hundred battles is only today, looking at the pass in the distance, Liu Bang sighed in a deep voice: "Everyone, the pass is in front of you, what countermeasures do you have to help me seize this pass?" ”

Seeing that Liu Bang was distressed by this, Fan Hao couldn't help but smile and said: "Why should the lord be like this, give me 20,000 people, and I will definitely take this pass." ”

"No, no, it's dangerous, it's not to be beaten." Zhang Liang shook his head and sighed.

After a pause, Zhang Liang said again: "If the lord wants to outwit this level, I have a strategy." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Liu Bang came to be interested, looked back at Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang walked to Liu Bang's side at this time, pointed to the ring of the mountain and said: "The lord can plant a flag in the mountain, thinking that he is a suspicious soldier, and then send a wise man to enter the customs to persuade the Qin generals to sacrifice the pass, and the pass can be determined." ”

On the side, Fan Xu sneered: "The pass is the last barrier in the pass, how can a wise man make sense?" This is certainly not possible. ”

"Yes, if the wise man can take the city, why do we need these warriors?" Fill the baby with oil and vinegar on the side.

Just when everyone criticized Zhang Liang and resisted Zhang Liang, Liu Bang laughed loudly and said: "Since the ovary said so, there must be his reason, you must not be suspicious." ”

Liu Bang's trust made Zhang Liang's heart warm, he pointed to the pass again and said with a smile: "I have ordered someone to investigate, the guard of the pass is a butcher, and he likes to be greedy for small // cheap, if the lord sends someone to promise benefits, and then there are heavy soldiers in the mountains to intimidate the guards, his heart will be chaotic, and his will to guard the pass can be moved, and the pass can be lowered." ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's suggestion, Liu Bang nodded slightly, he turned to look at everyone and asked, "Who wants to go?" ”

"I'm willing to go." Li Shiqi walked out and arched his hand: "I also think that this plan is feasible, and I am willing to go to the Qin camp and persuade the Qin generals." ”

。。。。。。

In the afternoon, after everyone returned to the camp, Liu Bang ordered people to prepare finances, select 3,000 elite strong men, and eat them with him.

Bidding farewell to his younger brother Li Shang, Li Shiqi hurriedly embarked on the road to Yaoguan, a wide mountain road with a rugged road but carriages that could go along, flanked by mountains high and densely wooded.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Shiqi is just an envoy to Yaoguan, but Li Shiqi is very clear in his heart, this is also a time to determine the fate of his life, if he can send an envoy to Yaoguan, saying that Qin will descend in the future, his status in the army can be upgraded again, if he can be called king in Guanzhong, he will not lose his high-ranking officials, but if he can't say that he can pass through Qin, this may also be a path of no return that he has chosen.

After walking for two hours, finally, a huge checkpoint appeared in the distance, Li Shiqi set up his eyes, looked ahead, he prayed silently in his heart, and then sighed lightly, looked at the captain on the side, and ordered: "Go and call the pass!" ”

There are nearly 50,000 Qin troops stationed in the pass, here is the last card in the pass, if it is lost here, the Chu army will no longer be hindered, and it will approach Xianyang, and the guard stationed here is Zhao Gao, the appointed general.

This person's name is Yue Kaifeng, he was born as a butcher, just because Zhao Gao bought and sold officials, the momentum was monstrous, Yue Kaifeng in line with the purpose of a try, through the relationship, bought the position of a military general in the hands of Zhao Cheng, at first just a general, later, Yue Kaifeng became more and more domineering, looting the township, using money to get through the above, within a few months the official was promoted to three levels, and later, Yue Kaifeng was transferred to the station of Yaoguan.

Although Ying Ziying has killed Zhao Gao and cleared Xianyang, the army that Ying Ziying just sent has not yet arrived at Yaoguan, so that Yue Kaifeng can still get away with it.

Today, Yue Kaifeng, as usual, came to patrol Guanzhong, but there were soldiers shouting next to the battlements: "General, there is a Chu army!" ”

Yue Kaifeng was shocked, he immediately stepped forward to check, but found that there were about dozens of people riding horses, led by a Chu general, dressed in a red military robe, and he shouted loudly under the city: "I want to see your main general!" ”

Yue Kaifeng poked his head out and shouted, "I am." ”

"My lord Li was ordered to come here, and I have something important to ask to see the general, I don't know if I can see him?"

"I don't know any of them." Yue Kaifeng replied impatiently.

"But my lord came with sincerity, and there are five boxes of jewelry, just behind." The Chu general replied again, and soon, Yue Kaifeng's excited voice sounded in the city: "Since you came with sincerity, let him come in." ”

Soon, Yue Kaifeng shouted in the city, "Open the door and let them in." ”

。。。。。。

Yue Kaifeng had just returned to the camp, when a soldier rushed in and said, "General, the Chu army has a total of 3,000 people, and Captain Tian has already stopped their troops and only put in 500 people, at this time they have come outside the camp, do you want to let them in?" ”

"That's a lot of speed." Yue Kaifeng couldn't help laughing: "Let them in." ”

Soon, Li Shiqi walked into the big tent with two hundred chiefs, and arched his hand in front of Yue Kaifeng and said: "In Xia Li Shiqi, he is the staff of Chu General Liu Bang, and he was ordered to come and visit the general. ”

Seeing that Li Shiqi was over seventy years old, Yue Kaifeng couldn't help but feel contemptuous in his heart, but thinking that Li Shiqi came with finances, he had to change his posture and said with a smile: "Please sit down." ”

Li Shiqi thanked him, came to the soft seat on the side and sat down, and then continued: "I heard that the general wants to defend the pass, I think that the general's move is unwise. ”

"How so?" Yue Kaifeng was slightly displeased.

"The general can go to the city to see, my Chu army of 300,000 troops has been stationed in the mountains, just wait for my lord to give an order, you can attack the city with all your strength, let me ask the general how many defenders? How long can it last? If the city is broken, will the general still survive? Will Zhao Gao let the general go? ”

"This ......" At this time, the wind of Xianyang has not yet come, and Yue Kaifeng is also very jealous of Zhao Gao, Li Shiqi's words said that his heart is in trouble, he hesitated slightly, called a personal attendant, and ordered: "Go to the city to see, has the Chu army really been killed?" ”

It seemed that he didn't trust himself, Li Shiqi couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly: "If the general can't trust me, I will go back, I believe that tomorrow, my lord will lead the army to kill, at that time, the general is thinking about peace talks, I'm afraid it will ......"

Li Shiqi did not continue, at this time, a Qin soldier sent tea, Li Shiqi picked up the teacup, slowly tasted the tea, not long after, the Qin soldier rushed back, whispered a few words in Yue Kaifeng's ear, Yue Kaifeng was slightly surprised, and then smiled at Li Shiqi: "I don't know what your army wants?" We might as well sit down and talk. ”
