Chapter 161: Heng Chu Dies, Attack the Heart!
"Those who want to go cannot be stopped, those who are willing to follow me, follow me to break through Daze and defend the king of Chu!" Heng Chu finally made a decision.
He was able to be active in Daze for many years as a criminal person, but he was not captured for a long time, and enjoyed the reputation of Nuoda, partly because of the help of local nobles, and partly because of the trust of the villagers.
Therefore, Heng Chu made a lot of noise when Daze raised troops, and even exceeded the influence caused by the King of Chu for a time, so he was regarded as a big trouble by Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo, and focused on encircling Heng Chu, so that Heng Chu was blocked back into Daze again.
Hengchu has a certain mass base, but unfortunately, the Xiang family and the Yu family left Chu one after another, and the nobles of Chu land were at both ends of the snake and rat, so that Hengchu lost the most precious financial resources and upper resources.
Xiang Liang died, and his best friend Xiang was reduced to slavery......
has never played Daze, and no matter how powerful Hengchu is, he is the turtle in the urn.
Daze extends in all directions and has complex terrain, although it is an excellent hiding place, but it is easy to enter and exit, and it is also a burial place.
Therefore, when the decree of amnesty spread to Chu, and even to Daze, the people under the command of Heng Chu began to disperse.
Now if half of Tai is pacified today, only the land of Chu has not been pacified.
In other words, the rebellion in the Chu region is now truly isolated.
I can't beat it again, but the first emperor, the king of tigers and wolves, has changed his temperament, and he is willing to bow his head and give the people a step.
Amnesty to the world at such a time!
The army has fallen, and amnesty is a sign of weakness and incompetence.
But if the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, then amnesty will be merciful and forgiving.
Even if the First Emperor does not issue an amnesty to the world, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the rebellion of the Chu State will not survive this year, let alone now?
As a result, the resistance diminished like the melting of ice and snow......
Heng Chu knew that if he continued like this, the last glimmer of hope was about to disappear.
In today's situation, he can only give up the Daze he has been running for a long time, and lead his cronies to break through and come to the king of Chu to continue to plot things in the future.
Pity......
Zhao Tuo knew the official document of amnesty before Heng Chu.
After all, the news entering Chu needs local rumors to ferment, and it is in wartime, and Daze is closed to the terrain, usually speaking, if the external news comes into it, if it is not a special military intelligence spying, there is a delay and lag of one or two months.
And Zhao Tuo?
He was the first to know when a local document came.
Therefore, in fact, the news of the first emperor's amnesty to the world was actually sent by Zhao Tuo to Daze.
Ren Huan resigned to the First Emperor for many years, and finally succeeded in returning to his hometown.
Not long ago, Ren Huan finally left Lingnan satisfied.
And the top leader of Lingnan has officially changed from Ren Huan to Zhao Tuo.
Although in fact, Zhao Tuo was entrusted with the important task of running Lingnan a long time ago, but now he really deserves it.
Ren Huan is old and sick, so when he is counterinsurgent, he is not careful enough, and he also does not want to make any mistakes, so his progress is slightly slow.
But Zhao Tuo is different, he is still young, and he needs to sit down under his ass as soon as possible.
Zhao Tuo's ability is there after all, after all, he became the emperor in history.
The decree of amnesty came to the world, and after a little thought, a conspiracy appeared.
"Hengchu borrowed the villagers to raise troops, and if the rumors were stopped by torture, it would be tantamount to self-destruction of the foundation.
If it is not stopped, there will only be one road left in front of Heng Chu, which is nothing more than to break through Daze and join the king of Chu, just wait for Raul.
The king of Chu is just a puppet, thanks to the nobles of Chu to ascend to the throne, and the hearts of his subordinates are scattered and have their own calculations, which is difficult to co-ordinate and is not worth mentioning.
Solve Heng Chu, and the rebellion of Chu will be self-defeating. ”
Zhao Tuo smiled and explained his choice to the lieutenant general beside him.
"Your Majesty is very fond, we have the position of general, we must give Your Majesty an explanation as soon as possible."
As Zhao Tuo expected, that night, Heng Chu launched the first breakthrough.
It's a pity that Zhao Tuo was prepared.
Although there are many Daze exits and a large range, it is impossible for Zhao Tuo to block all the exits.
But Heng Chu's ultimate goal is to meet the King of Chu, so his direction is fixed, and at the same time, he must lead people to break through, and the exit direction naturally cannot be too small, so in fact, there are only a few choices.
If you really break through from the back, Zhao Tuo is not afraid, it's useless to go out, and if you break through from the back, you have to join the King of Chu, but it is a long way, and whether the King of Chu can survive until the arrival of Heng Chu is a question.
30,000 Qin soldiers waited for work......
Tens of thousands of soldiers from Hengchu's headquarters took advantage of the night to kill from Daze, and they were greeted by long-awaited bows and crossbows.
Zhao Tuo attaches great importance to Heng Chu, so he came in person, and the soldiers and horses who came to surround Heng Chu are also the most elite soldiers under Zhao Tuo, and the equipment is also the most sophisticated.
There is a lot of water in Daze, so there are few war horses......
The Qin army fought against the water, so it was actually facing tens of thousands of infantry......
And they, with cavalry and chariots, have crossbow arrays!
What awaits them can already be imagined......
Heng Chu did not ruin his reputation until he died, so the fighting mood of the Chu people who were willing to follow him to fight was extremely high.
However, the mood and morale of the battle are not the only conditions for weighing the victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Heng Chu took the lead, wearing armor first, intending to break through Daqin's infantry phalanx.
It's a pity that he is only Xiang Yu's best friend, not Xiang Yu himself.
Therefore...... The situation on the battlefield inevitably deteriorated, and his cronies and villagers died one after another......
The number is getting smaller and smaller, and even the cries of war seem hoarse.
Between the fights and the breakthrough, the Qin army gradually changed its formation, and the breakthrough could not be achieved, Heng Chu could only retreat while fighting, and more than half of the men and horses under his command had been lost at this moment, and it was impossible to break through, and only by fleeing back to Daze in embarrassment could there be a chance to breathe.
Heng Chu did not choose to go back, but mustered up the courage to launch a second round of breakthroughs.
Then, repeating the last failure, the final rout, the return to the road, can only return to Daze.
There is no longer a chance...... The defeat is decided, and even if he returns to Daze, the soldiers and horses will be scattered.
Heng Chu sighed, and when the cronies beside him were still fighting, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, solemnly took out the silk cloth and wiped the long sword clean.
This is not uncommon in the state of Chu.
Commit suicide......
As a country with abundant martial virtues, the state of Chu formed an atmosphere of self-judgment by the defeated generals, and even gradually developed to the formation of a unique etiquette.
Of course, this etiquette belonged exclusively to the nobility.
Heng Chu solemnly knelt on the ground, respectfully presented the long sword, and crossed his neck.
Seeing this, the surrounding cronies were full of grief and indignation, knowing that the defeat was decided, and fought hard, just to leave the last trace of dignity for Heng Chu.
Before Heng Chu judged himself, he did not let the Qin people interfere with his noble rituals.
In fact, there really isn't......
When Zhao Tuo observed this scene from a high place through the telescope, he immediately ordered to slow down the attack.
He is not stupid, and he doesn't have to capture Hengchu alive.
The Chu people attach great importance to the self-determination ceremony.
Heng Chu won the hearts of the people, if he had to destroy Heng Chu's last dignity, this group of Chu people would really do their best to defend Heng Chu's self-determination.
I'm going to die anyway...... Why increase casualties?
As a result, Heng Chu was able to successfully complete his ritual.
The sword slashed, and the blood flowed down his neck like a mountain spring.
Heng Chu didn't die immediately, and the last vestige of reason he had left forced him to control his body and fall to a suitable angle.
Yes, the self-judging ceremony of the Chu State is even particular about the posture and angle of the fall.
His empty gaze could only see the chaos of footsteps and the desolation of the earth.
I can only hear a series of fights in my ears......
With the lack of oxygen and the accelerated flow of blood, Heng Chu's perception became slower and slower, and finally slowly stagnated and froze, but his eyes were still staring at the land.
Heng Chu is dead......
As a result, Osawa's resistance perished.
For the newly appointed Zhao Tuo, one of the two major rebellions in the state of Chu has been resolved.
The next one, naturally, is the puppet Chu Wang regime who is still on the run and is being supported by the nobles of the family.
After the king of Chu is resolved, there will be all kinds of small turmoil left, and there is no need to fight.
Heng Chu's death is full of Chu flavor......
However, this did not bring Zhao Tuo any emotional impact.
As soon as Heng Chu died, Zhao Tuo didn't even have time to collect Heng Chu's body, so he immediately sent people into Daze, holding the first emperor's amnesty summons to the world, and the remaining resistance in Daze officially died.
In the tent of the "Hengchu Established ......", Zhao Tuo sat in front of the case.
"That's ...... Send someone to publicize His Majesty's amnesty to the world, and be sure to let the Chu people know that the eldest prince has been made the crown prince......" Zhao Tuo thought for a while and said.
Husband war, attack the heart first!
The situation of Chu is special, and the amnesty of the world is only one of them, and the eldest son, Fusu Lichu, is the second and most crucial part.
After all, the eldest son's mother is the princess of Chu State, and his master Chang Wenjun is also a Chu person, a Chu person, and he is considered the eldest son's mother's family.
In terms of bloodline, the bloodline of the eldest son Fusu is even closer than the heart of Xiong Xin, the king of Chu, who has been pushed out now.
Before that, the nobles of Chu had always been supporters of the banner for the succession of the Su to the throne.
The eldest sons have succeeded to the throne, and the first emperor is not to blame for the past, so why do you rebel?
As for whether the eldest prince will protect them, and whether the first emperor will continue to anger them, that is not something that Zhao Tuo has to consider.
The past is not to blame, but it does not mean that the order to move the king's tomb is not implemented......
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Tuo thought that his actions would not affect the First Emperor's decision-making and plans, so he formulated a plan to attack his heart.
Dispatch of manpower to start a public opinion offensive in Chudi......
Coupled with the official notices of the local government, the nobles and heroes gathered under the heart of the king of Chu began to look more detached, and it was more difficult to trust each other, and the heart of luck arose.
"We are in rebellion now! Rebel! The first emperor pardoned the world, do you think all sins will be forgiven? There are eight evils, conspiracy is the first, and amnesty is not forgiven! ”
"You are wrong, it is not us who rebel! Who has the proof that we rebelled? Now that the eldest prince has become the crown prince, the Chu people are considered the eldest prince's maiden family, and the maiden land of the grandson Zhao Si has been sealed as a vassal state, no matter how much the King of Qin favors one over the other, he must leave some room for His Royal Highness the Prince, right?
Moreover, the amnesty of the world is a decree issued by King Qin himself, and he will never break his word. ”
"What about the order to move the king's tomb? King Qin Ke never took back the order to move the king's tomb, and took a step back and said, even if Zhao Tuo didn't carefully investigate who was involved in the rebellion, even if King Qin's words counted, after the amnesty, he was not to blame for the past, but what did the order to move the king's tomb say? In terms of family wealth and prestige, you and I have to move our families to Xianyang.
Once our family moves to Xianyang, it will be a man-made knife and I will be a fish!
King Qin's wolf ambition, as soon as he entered Xianyang, An Neng was good?
Have you forgotten the purpose of our uprising? ”
You must know that the uprisings in various parts of the world are essentially a rebellion against the First Emperor's decree to move the king's tomb, and they want to use violent means to get the First Emperor to take back his fate.
But......
When the words fell, I saw that the people around him were looking at him with strange eyes.
"Donghu and Yue's intentions are difficult, and now Donghu is divided into two Turkic Wuheng divisions, Yue's fled westward without a trace, and all parts of the world have been pacified, from the uprising in various places to the current Qin State It has only taken more than a year......
And now, the only people who can barely be called our allies are the filthy people under the leadership of Zai Zhang Liang on the shore of the East China Sea, but they are thousands of miles away from us and cannot be relied on, and according to the information I have received, although the filthy people are numerous, they have never made any progress, and they have only been circling around the East China Sea for more than a year.
Commanding the battle here is Li Xin, although Li Xin is not defeated by General Xiang, but before the comparison, but he has not tasted defeat, and even approached the capital of Chu, if it were not for the help of Changping Jun, I am afraid that the Chu State would have been destroyed at that time, and the leader of the filthy people was just a guest under the command of Canghai Jun, the grandson of the Korean Prime Minister......
He reluctantly led these filthy people in the name of Canghai Jun, and let the filthy people obey his orders, and as for his talent, I am afraid it is difficult to compare with Li Xin, and in my opinion, I am afraid it will not last long.
And the reason why the rebellion in the land of Chu has not been quelled until now, don't you know it?
Although there are 600,000 Qin troops in Lingnan, most of them still have to defend Lingnan, so the troops that can be divided are not too many.
And now that Ren Huan has abdicated, it is Zhao Tuo who is now in command of Lingnan.
Zhao Tuo's new promotion is bound to plot great achievements, and the Lingnan tribes are close to Zhao Tuo, and are willing to obey his orders and negotiations, according to my opinion, I am afraid that it will not be long before Lingnan will be pacified, and what awaits me at that time is the 600,000 army of Lingnan!
Moreover...... Just two days ago, a doorman told me that within Daze, Hengchu failed to break through, and the army had been defeated and self-defeated.
Now, the king of Qin has pardoned the world, and his children are afraid that they have no desire to fight.
Now, is there any room for us to wait?
In this situation, do you still want to expect King Qin to take back the order to move the king's tomb?
What I ask for is just that after moving to Xianyang, there is a prince on the throne, and I think a little more about the love of the Chu people, so it is ...... to protect the family."
When the words fell, the people around them were inexplicable, and a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire room, but everyone nodded thoughtfully.
