Chapter 483, the decisive battle between master and apprentice
The rebellions of Qi and Dongjun, as well as Handan and Dai counties, were put down one after another, which made Zhang Liang and Wei Yi, who were in Pengcheng, not calm.
Zhang Liang's face was gloomy, and he held the information in his hand with both hands, if it weren't for Wei Yu on the side, he would definitely scold angrily now.
"In five years, the five-year gathering of East County was ruined. The state of Qi surrendered. Dai County and Handan County were all wiped out, five years! Zhang Liang tried his best to restrain his emotions, but the anger and unwillingness between his words could not be hidden.
Since he left Yingdu, Zhang Liang began to try his best to win over all the people who could be wooed, among which Dongjun was the mainstay, but now Dongjun is ruined, Qi surrendered, and all the hidden secrets in Daijun and Handan County were exposed. In the past five years, all Zhang Liang's efforts have been wiped out in less than half a month.
Although Pengcheng, Yongmen, and Xiapi were still in their hands, all but these three places had been recovered by Han Xin. Han Xin saw Wei Yu's bluff, and made a plan to put on the appearance of a large army attacking in Fulisai, so as to reassure them and be wary, but in fact, he secretly passed around Xiao Cheng and caught them off guard.
"We still have a shadow son among the hundred schools." Wei Yu said aloud.
"Hundred? If my guess is correct, it will be a matter of time before the hundred schools of thought are made. Zhang Liang slapped the information in his hand on the table and said.
Although there is no mention of anything about the hundred schools in the current intelligence, Zhang Liang knows very well that Tian Zhan was arrested, Zhu Rong and others were all arrested, and it was only a matter of time before the things in the hundred schools were revealed, and even if they had already revealed it, Ziyou was also secretly solving these people, but because of the face of the various sects and factions in the hundred schools, it was not exposed.
Among the hundred schools, the silent disappearance of some people is as common as the suicide of someone in prison.
"The country of Qi has surrendered, we can't go north anymore, and it is imperative to preserve our strength." Wei Yi sighed helplessly.
Wei Yu didn't understand why Qi surrendered, his uprising in Pengcheng had already gained momentum, as long as he was given some more time, he was enough to defeat Han Xin with the weak, so as to gain a lot of living space.
"We were in such a hurry. Ying Zheng and Ziyou have set a huge trap for us, before Ying Zheng and Ziyou died, before the Qin State fell into civil strife, our so-called restoration of the country was nothing more than wishful thinking! Zhang Liang suddenly lay back and sighed unwillingly.
After the uprising, Zhang Liang had already discovered a big problem, no one in the people of Dongjun was willing to rebel with these doormen, especially after hearing that Ziyou appeared in Dongjun, these people began to counterattack these rebellious doormen. In the past Korea, now Yingchuan County, in five years, he did not find anyone who wanted to follow him to revolt and restore the country, and no one in Yuyang County was willing to follow him against Qin except for some people in the Mo family.
Zhang Liang didn't care about this before, thinking that as long as they stood up again and launched an uprising, these people would naturally be willing to follow, but in Pengcheng, where the Xiang clan had been secretly cultivating for many years, they only raised an army of 50,000 people, you must know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Pengcheng and the surrounding places, and the army in their hands now is not even 100,000, and most of them are rangers, mountain bandits, or the army of Chu who were wanted by the Qin State.
"The Qin State has won the hearts and minds of the people of the world, and it will be in vain for us to do anything." Zhang Liang laughed.
Wei Yi looked at Zhang Liang, who couldn't stop laughing, he heard the unwillingness, grievance and helplessness in Zhang Liang's laughter, but Zhang Liang said that it was the truth. The fact that the Qin State had occupied and stabilized the territory it had conquered in such a short period of time was something that I could not have expected. Before the Qin State destroyed Korea, after the countries conquered the land, in order to stabilize the people and regain the hearts of the people, which is not a lot of effort, and slowly assimilated the people on the basis of ten years, even if it is the farthest Korea, in ten years, the former Korean people have begun to call themselves Qin people from the bottom of their hearts, and even when the Qin State attacked other countries, they contributed more than the old Qin people themselves.
"Are we really obsolete?" Wei Yu also had some self-doubt. The biggest basis for their rebellion was to induce the people to rebel with them as scholars, but now let alone rebel, and even some people in these places they occupied began to rebel against them and wanted to restore the rule of Qin.
Wei Yi didn't understand what was going on in the world, and he didn't understand how the Qin State managed to make the people return to their hearts and all the people to submit.
"No, no, we still have a chance! As long as we live, when we wait for the day of Qin's civil strife, we will have a chance after all. Wei Yi pulled it up, and Zhang Liang said.
"Opportunity? Do we really still have a chance? Zhang Liang shook off Wei Yu's hand and said.
Looking at the disheartened Zhang Liang, Wei Yi was stunned, he originally thought that what Zhang Liang just said was just an unwilling vent. But now Wei Yu is quite sure that Zhang Liang's anti-Qin faith has begun to crumble, and this collapse is due to his disappointment after all his efforts have failed since the fall of Korea. And the efforts of the past five years were a fuse, which shattered the hope in Zhang's conscience.
Watching Zhang Liang stumble out, Wei Yi did not stop him, but made up his mind to help Zhang Liang re-establish his determination to oppose Qin, and the way to help Zhang Liang re-establish his determination was to help him re-establish his confidence and let him know that the Qin State was not invincible.
"Someone is here to gather the whole army and go south to attack Fu Lisai!" Wei Yu shouted in a deep voice.
Xiang Yu hurriedly barged in from outside the house
"Mr. Wei, what's wrong with the teacher?"
"What's the matter with the ovary?" Wei Yu asked.
The teacher rode in the direction of Pengcheng. I look like he's lost and depressed, should we send someone to keep up? Xiang Yu asked.
"Let the ovary calm down. You go down and get the whole army ready, and we will go south to attack Fulisai! Wei Yu said.
"Fu Lisai?" A gleam flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, "You mean that Han Xin's army has divided its troops to recover other places, and now Fu Lisai's troops are insufficient, we can snatch Fu Lisai and use this as a foundation to break the Qin army one by one!" ”
"It seems that the recent military books have not been read in vain." Wei Yu looked at Xiang Yu with satisfaction,
Even if Xiang Yu doesn't like to read military books, he was still forced by Zhang Liang to follow Wei Yu to study, under the influence of Wei Yu, although Xiang Yu still walks the military situation, but at least understands the basic art of war, although he can't use it freely, but it can also be said to be able to talk on paper.
"Fu Lisai is the base area after Han Xin's division of troops, and the grain and grass and rear of these divided troops are mainly based on Fu Lisai. As long as we take the talisman away. Defeat Pi first, then Xiao Cheng, and finally surround Han Xin's army! Xiang Yu said.
"No, Han Xin divides the troops, and we divide the troops. After the Fu Lisai was laid, the two armies that were separated from each other would inevitably panic and hurry back to defense. At this time, you only need to ambush in Danshui, and you will definitely be able to catch the Qin army in Xiaocheng by surprise. And I will send people to block the Qin army in Xiapi in Surabaya, as long as you use the terrain to block them, you will have time to recover these places one by one. Wei Yu said.
"Okay, I'll go and transfer troops." Xiang Yu said.
In Fu Lisai, Han Xin is making plans for the future.
"Da Sima, Fan Xu and Xiahou Ying have sent back the news. Fan Hao led his troops to recover Xiaocheng, Liucheng and Yinping. Xiahou Ying defeated the rebels of Xiapi at the junction of Surabaya and Suishui and was preparing to attack Xiapi. Zhou Bo said to Han Xin.
Han Xin nodded, and planted the flags of Fan Xu and Xiahou Ying on the map.
For Xiahou Ying and Fan Xu, Han Xin is quite satisfied, although in Han Xin's opinion, the two of them have bad brains, but they are good at leading the troops to charge, and they can be called ordinary people compared to ordinary generals. As for Zhou Bo in front of him, Han Xin felt that it was better, at least he had the qualifications, but he started a little late.
"What do you think the rebels will do now? What should we do? Han Xin looked at Zhou Bo and asked.
Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the map and said
"Now the rebels are only Pengcheng, Yongmen and Xiapi. Xiapi is also in danger, if I were the commander of the rebels, I would have evacuated Xiapi and sent people to garrison Yongmen, so that Yongmen and Pengcheng could support each other and occupy Surabaya. Rely on Surabaya to continue to hold back our army, and send people to meet Fan Hao and Xiahou Ying. If I were to attack, I would occupy Yongmen before the rebels, cut off the connection between Xiapi and Pengcheng, and gradually encircle and suppress them. ”
At the beginning, Zhou Bo and Fan Xu escaped together and took refuge in the Qin army, and the two quickly became famous by relying on bravery, and then the two were focused on training. Fan Hao was taken by Yang Duanhe to teach him about the situation of the soldiers, while Zhou Bo was sent to Xianyang to study in the military palace.
After studying in the Military Palace, Zhou Bo followed Yang Duanhe south to attack the puppet Chu State. After the end of the war in the puppet Chu State, he was ordered to guard the Fu Lisai. After Zhang Liang and Wei Yi rebelled in Pengcheng, Zhou Bo led people to support, but was defeated by Wei Yi, and was beaten without the slightest temper, and the confidence that Zhou Bo had built up with great difficulty was directly defeated.
Then Han Xin arrived, first saw through the bluff of the Surabaya rebels, and then smuggled Danshui and successfully compressed the rebels in three cities, which made Zhou Bo convinced.
"Have the reinforcements arrived?" Han Xin asked.
"It's already here, 50,000 people have come, all of them are veterans of a hundred battles in my Qin country!" Zhou Bo said.
"Let them eat and drink to their heart's content, and prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow!" Han Xin said lightly.
"Huh!?" Zhou Bo wondered.
"Pass my orders." Han Xin said.
"No!"
Zhou Bo walked out of the military tent in confusion, in his opinion, the current rebel army should gather troops to defend the city they occupy now, how could they take the initiative to attack? If the leader of the rebel army was an ordinary person, it might be like this, but the commander of the rebel army is Wei Yi, and it is even better, but now Wei Yi urgently needs a victory to help Zhang Liang regain his confidence.
Han Xin, who was in the military tent, looked at the map, and the flag in his hand was planted in Pengcheng's location.
"Teacher, teacher, if I were under the same force, I might not be your opponent, but you forgot that behind me is the entire Qin State. The veterans of the Qin State can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people at any time, so what about my division of troops? Can the Qin State mobilize more soldiers to support me at any time? And you? Your biggest mistake was not to hurry up and run away, but to stalemate with me here! Han Xin said in a low voice.
Han Xin thought that he had no chance of winning with the same strength as Wei Yi, but there was never an if-and-go on the battlefield, and behind him was the Qin State, and the Qin State would never lack soldiers. Han Xin is now going to defeat his teacher with more blows and fewer blows. And Han Xin dared to divide his troops before and let Xiahou Ying and Fan Hao take away most of the soldiers, but he received the news that Qin's reinforcements were already on the way.
Wei Yi didn't know that Han Xin already had reinforcements, and since Xiao Cheng was captured by Fan Xu, Wei Yi's intelligence line had a gap, and he couldn't know whether Qin sent reinforcements at all.
Under the mobilization of Wei Yi and Xiang Yu, the entire rebel army began to gather, and Han Xin also changed his normal behavior, letting the soldiers who were cowering in Fulisai cross the river and set off in the direction of Pengcheng, while Zhou Bo took a part of the soldiers to march in the direction of Yongmen.
The news that Han Xin was setting off in the direction of Pengcheng with a large army was soon learned by Wei Mi, and seeing Han Xin's unusual movements, Wei Mi wanted to give up confronting the Qin army head-on for the first time. But after learning that Zhou Bo was marching towards Yongmen with some of his soldiers, he no longer hesitated.
In Wei Yi's opinion, the army in Han Xin's hands has been divided into four parts, Fan Xu and Xiahou Ying have taken half of the people, and Zhou Bo has taken half of the people, and the number of troops in Han Xin's hands is the same as him at this moment. As for Han Xin's sudden dispatch of troops in order to hold back Pengcheng's soldiers and buy time for Zhou Bo to attack Yongmen.
Then Wei Yu began to arrange his troops and prepare for Han Xin's arrival.
"Since you want to take Yongmen, then Yongmen will give it to you." Wei Yu said: "Order, let the defenders of Yongmen hold on for two days no matter what. After Han Xin and I decide the winner, it will be the day when the army will come to the aid of Yongmen. ”
"No!"
After Wei Yi's order was issued, the entire Pengcheng moved again. Wei Yu ordered the army to go out of the city, preparing to fight Han Shin one-on-one outside the city.
After Han Xin received the news through the scouts that Wei Yu had ordered the whole army to leave the city, Han Xin immediately sent people to investigate the surroundings and carefully observe the places where there might be rebel ambushes along the way. Although Han Xin thinks that his teacher will take the initiative, he does not think that his teacher will fight him one-on-one. Even if the soldiers in his hands were the same as Pengcheng's rebels on the surface, Pengcheng's rebels' combat strength was not as good as that of the regular army, so Han Xin was worried that they would ambush them halfway.
After the scout found out that there was no ambush, Han Xin's was also stunned, he didn't expect his teacher to be so brave, and at the same time he felt that he was being despised at the same time.
"Good." Han Xin said coldly. He will inevitably have to pay the price for his teacher to underestimate him.
After exploring the place where Wei Yu was camped, Han Xin also camped opposite it, and between the two military camps was a plain, without the slightest cover, which could be said to be the best position for a decisive battle.
The brothers will continue to live tomorrow, and today they are tired
