Chapter 46: The Battle of Hanyong (2)
Chencang County only more than 200 people, more than an hour, the Han army climbed to the top of the city, although paid a heavy price of nearly 100 people, but for the 30,000 vanguard of Fan Xu, capture Chencang, means that the Han army completely opened up the main road to the north, at this time 27,000 troops were busy building camps outside the city of Chencang, and Fan Xu led 2,000 soldiers and horses into the city, the people in the city ate pot pulp, knelt on both sides of the road, welcomed the Han army.
The prestige of the Han army in Guanzhong was very good, especially after Liu Bang destroyed the Qin State, he made peace with the people, which made the people of Chencang so warmly welcome Liu Bang's army into the city.
And the first thing Fan Hao entered the city was to Zhang Bang Anmin, proclamation to the people of the city, the Han army went north, 300,000 soldiers, the land of Guanzhong was not long after, it would fall into the hands of the Han State, and then, and hurriedly went to the county office, the county office, Fan Xu's personal guards quietly placed the two prostitutes who were snatched from Meng Tao's hands, and then left in a hurry, and soon, Fan Hao arrived, he entered the inner government with great interest, in the morning, no one saw Fan Xu's figure, only the soldiers who passed by the Houya could occasionally hear the woman's moans and laughter.
At three o'clock, Han Xin's 100,000 troops arrived one after another, the first batch of cavalry was about 20,000 people, they lined up neatly, and went straight to the camp.
Subsequently, 80,000 infantry arrived in five echelons one after another, Han Xin was always in the first echelon, at this time his team came to Chen Cang City, Fan Xu, who was supposed to be waiting here, was nowhere to be seen, until Han Xin arrived at the city, Fan Xu failed to appear, only Fan Xu's deputy general Niu Er was wearing brand new armor, and the cyan cloak on his back stood in front of the city gate, at this time Niu Er had seen Han Xin in the three thousand guards, he hurriedly waved his hand to several generals, and everyone wore their own armor and hurriedly greeted him: "See the general." ”
Han Xin glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "What about General Fan?" Why didn't you see him coming? ”
"General Fan...... General Fan interrogated the prisoners in the rear office. Niu Er didn't know how to answer, he had a flash of inspiration and used the captives to perfunctory Han Xin, but Han Xin ignored Niu Er, he waved his hand forward and shouted loudly: "Enter the city!" ”
Three thousand guards surrounded Han Xin and went to Chencang County, at this time, Niu Er wanted to enter the city first to report the news, but Han Xin was the commander of the three armies, if he walked in front of him, he would definitely be guilty of the following crimes, the light one would be whipped, and the heavy one would be beheaded, after hesitating for a moment, Niu Er still chose to obediently follow Han Xin's team and go to the city together.
Although Chen Cang experienced a fierce battle, but in only one morning, Chen Cang had been cleaned up, and there were endless pedestrians in the street, but after seeing Han Xin's army enter the city, the people still consciously came to both sides of the street, knelt on the ground to greet Han Xin, and Han Xin just shook his hand to the people, expressed his intimacy, and rode his horse to the county office.
When the guards at the gate of the county government saw Han Xin coming, they immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, Han Xin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up. ”
"In ...... In the back office. A captain stumbled back, and Niu Er on the side saw that the momentum was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, you go to the front office to have a cup of tea first, and I will call our general for you." ”
Han Xin had already seen that Niu Er was not telling the truth, and at this time he scolded unhappily: "You honestly lead the way for me, otherwise, I will cut you first." ”
Niu Er was frightened and hurriedly gave Han Xin a salute: "The last general...... The last will obey. ”
Niu Er was in front, leading Han Xin to the back office, and as soon as he walked into the threshold, he heard a woman's moaning faintly from inside, and Han Xin reprimanded with a little displeasure: "Is it still a female captive?" ”
"This ......" Niu Er was completely speechless, Han Xin snorted coldly after staring at the rear ya, looked at Niu Er and said: "If it weren't for your general taking Chen Cang and making a contribution to opening the way for the army, I will not forgive this matter, you go and inform your general now, the former general, and the military law will be engaged in if you don't come." ”
Niu Er sang the promise again and again, and Han Xin turned his head and left.
……
Zhou Bo and Guan Ying were in charge of the left army and the right army respectively, and there were more than 40,000 people in each of the two armies, until the army was completely settled, the two hurried to the county office, at this time the county government had been properly arranged by Han Xin's personal soldiers, and some of the items left in the past were all thrown away, and on the side, Fan Xu was half-bent over, standing slightly embarrassed.
Zhou Bo and Guan Ying hurriedly saluted after entering the front office: "See the general." ”
Han Xin waved his hand and motioned for the two to be exempt, and at this time, Fan Xu also took a step forward and arched his hand: "The last general is reckless, and I ask the general to forgive me." ”
In the past, Fan Xu would not take Han Xin to heart, but in the past six months, Han Xin has organized his troops in a good way, and forged weapons for Han Guo and trained formations, which made everyone look at Han Xin differently, and invisibly, Han Xin's prestige is increasing day by day, and at this time, Fan Xu also has an indescribable fear of Han Xin, so he has to stand aside quietly.
At this time, seeing Zhou Bohe and the infant inside, he dared to come forward to ask for guilt, Han Xin didn't want to be too embarrassed Fan Xu, the big war was imminent, and he couldn't break his spirit, at this time, seeing Fan Hao take the initiative to admit his mistake, Han Xin coughed dryly and reprimanded: "As the former army commander, you should have made a great contribution to the entry of the vanguard army into Guanzhong, but just after taking Chen Cang, did you dare to flirt with the people's daughters?" ”
"General, it's not the one who has just been in charge...... It's not a folk girl, it's what I captured from Meng Tao's army, and it belongs to ...... It belongs to the spoils of war. "Fan Xu said very unconfidently, Han Xin was angry and funny when he heard it, loot? I didn't hear that a woman who had paid someone else's money could also be used as a trophy, and at this time, Han Xin didn't want to waste any more time in this matter, so he had to wave his hand and scolded: "Bastard, can a woman also be considered a trophy?" Anyway, you have enjoyed it at this time, so hurry up and order someone to send them out to me, so as not to talk nonsense here and lose the face of my Han army. ”
"Yes, definitely." Fan Xuhan smiled and arched his hand, at this time, Han Xin got up and came to the map placed on the side, he pointed to the map with his finger and said: "The scout has come to report, the 50,000 main forces of the Yong army are stationed in the area of Yixian, and the battalion is several miles, which just cuts off our road to the east, and we must pull out this army." ”
"This is easy, the general might as well give me more soldiers and horses, and I'll go and kick this camp." Fan Xu laughed heartily, but Han Xin shook his head disapprovingly: "The king's army has passed the Qinling Mountains at this time, and in half a day, it will be able to reach Chencang, at this time the grain transportation is the most important, although we occupy Chencang, but Yongxian and Yuxian in the north are the biggest obstacles to us, we must take these two cities first, and we can go all out to enter the Yongjun camp in Yixian." ”
As soon as Han Xin finished speaking, Zhou Bo and Guan Ying walked out separately and arched their hands: "I am willing to go." ”
The two of them fought for their own merits and refused to give in to each other, so Han Xin had to order: "The two of you each have 10,000 troops, and they will continue to advance in batches, Zhou Bo will attack Yong County, and Guan Ying will attack Yu County. ”
The two sang a promise and left separately, Fan Hao on the side was a little stunned, he asked before leaving: "General, they both went, why don't you also give me a chance, let me lead the troops to meet the Yongjun, and kick the Yixian camp first?" ”
"No, the march has been going on for many days, the soldiers are tired, and it is not suitable to fight again, you go and prepare for it, and I will pick it up in the afternoon."
……
Yixian Daying, which is only 20 miles away from Yixian County, is located on a plain, with a wide field of vision all around, and there are often scouts running back and forth here.
And today, intermittently, many defeated soldiers rushed from the direction of Chen Cang, and they all fled here from Meng Tao's camp, and the news of the loss of Chen Cang also came at this time.
There was someone who was responsible for settling the rout, but Xu Liang, who had just returned, followed closely behind his own commander, drove his horse and left the camp under the escort of a hundred cavalrymen, and went straight to the waste Qiu.
Before sunset in the afternoon, this wave of people finally came to the city of Qiu, which is adjacent to the Wei River in the south, is a large city covering an area of thousands of acres, at this time outside the west gate, the king took the lead, and shouted to the city: "Open the door quickly, I have urgent military affairs to see the king." ”
The general of the garrison in the city knew Wang Li, and at this time, seeing him wandering under the city with an anxious face, he did not dare to delay, and immediately pushed the winch, opened the city gate, and Wang Li and others hurriedly drove into the waste Qiu on horseback.
As for the palace of the king, Zhang Han also received an urgent report from Yu County at this time, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops had crossed the Wei River and stationed troops in Chencang, and Chencang County had been conquered by the Han army in the early morning.
This is his biggest mistake, thousands of precautions, but there are no more soldiers and horses on the front line of Chencang, resulting in the Han army can easily get out of the old way, attack Chencang, when the heart is on fire, a personal guard walked into the hall, arched his hand behind Zhang Han and said: "The king, General Wang Li, General Zhaoping, Prime Minister Wu Han, Lord Shicheng is asking to see outside." ”
All of a sudden, Zhang Han nodded slightly, "It's okay, lest I go to find them one by one, let them all come in." ”
The guards sang the promise and retreated, Zhang Han stared at the map again, wanting to defeat the Han army, except for relying on the natural danger of the Qinling Mountains, there was indeed no better way, but the Han army did not follow the route expected by Zhang Han to go north, they pretended to decorate the plank road, so that Zhang Han put his eyes on the Bao Chuan Road, and then stationed troops in Yixian, and at this time, they went north from the old road and went straight to Chencang, which made Zhang Han inevitably lose in his heart, just when Zhang Han sighed, the hall sounded the sound of everyone's hurried footsteps, soon, The footsteps came behind Zhang Han, and everyone bowed their hands in unison: "Meet the king." ”
Zhang Han was interrupted by everyone to ponder, he turned around to look, and saw that everyone had arrived together, so he raised his hand upward: "Get up." ”
Everyone sang the promise to get up, at this time, Zhang Han looked at Wu Han, Wang Li and the others sighed a little helplessly: "The Han army has gone north and has already killed Chencang, have you heard about it?" ”
Wang Li was the first to take a step forward, and arched his hand: "King, the Han army has not only occupied Chencang, I have the intelligence of the rout, Yongxian has been lost, and Yuxian has been precarious, the Han army is stabilizing Chencang, and the grain road to the north of the old road is unimpeded, if they occupy their foothold, the next step, they will definitely attack Yixian, if Yixian is lost, the king, the plank road of the Baochuan Road will be restarted, and the Han army will invest a lot of people to build, at that time, the king can only retreat to abolish Qiu, and our situation is worrying." ”
Wang Li's words hit the nail on the head, causing everyone in the hall to become silent.
