Chapter 260: Famous in the Sea, Mighty Princes
[Soon after the departure of the 2,000 cavalry, Han Xin sent another 10,000 horses as the vanguard force, advanced to the vicinity of Jingchengkou, and formed a formation along the Mianmanshui.
Han Xin knew that Chen Yu wanted to wipe out the Han army and would not attack the 10,000 vanguard of the Han army.
He said to the generals of the vanguard: The Zhao army has taken the lead in occupying favorable terrain and building a barrier. Our 10,000-strong vanguard is neither the main force, nor has we set up a general, Chen Yu will definitely not come to attack you first. He is afraid that as soon as he attacks you, the main forces behind us will retreat.
As Han Xin expected, this vanguard force did not encounter any resistance, and successfully drove to the east bank of Mianmanshui and established a position.
And Zhao Jun saw that the Han army was arrayed against the water and had no way to retreat, and they all ridiculed Han Xin for not knowing the art of war at all, and actually put his army in a dead place. 】
"Laugh, how arrogant you laugh now, you'll cry desperately later!"
"The last battle, this is the moment when Han Xin really became famous!"
[The Han army was arranged according to Han Xin's plan, and it was already dark.
Han Xin personally led the Han army, waving the banner of the general and the guard of honor, beating the war drums and shouting to kill the Jingchengkou.
Chen Yu saw that the Han army had finally launched an attack, so he thought that the opportunity to destroy the Han army had come, and he immediately ordered the Zhao army to attack with the whole army!
The main force of the Zhao army attacked, rushing towards the Han army all over the mountains.
The two sides fought fiercely for a long time.
At this time, Han Xin thought that the time was almost up, so he ordered Zhang Er to pretend to be defeated with him, throw away all the guards of honor, and retreat in the direction of Mianmanshui.
Zhao Wangxi and Chen Yu saw Han Xin and Zhang Er retreating, thinking that the Han army had been defeated, so they ordered all the Zhao army to pour out. More than 100,000 Zhao troops were vying for the spoils of war while chasing and killing the "defeated army" of Han Xin and Zhang Er. 】
[Han Xin and Zhang Er retreated all the way until they retreated to the edge of the Mianman River with the main force of the Han army, and joined the 10,000 Han troops who had lined up before.
In front of you are the enemy soldiers who are chasing after you, and behind you is the deep and rushing water!
At this critical juncture of life and death, the Han army either moved forward to kill the enemy desperately, or retreated and drowned in the water!
In the face of the Zhao army that rushed up, under the encouragement of Han Xin, the soldiers of the Han army all fought bravely, one by one, and all of them resisted desperately!
The Zhao army relied on the strength of the crowd and rushed back and forth many times, but it still could not break through the Han army's position. The Han army commanded by Han Xin and Zhang Er firmly dragged hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops to the Mianman waterfront. 】
[Don't forget, Han Xin also ambushed two thousand cavalry behind Zhao Ying before! ]
When they saw the Zhao army pouring out, they took advantage of the emptiness of the Zhao camp defense to attack the camp, and quickly replaced all the banners of the Zhao army with those of the Han army. The base camp of the Zhao army turned out to be the base camp of the Han army. 】
[The Zhao army fought hard with the Han army at the edge of the Mianman River for most of the day, but did not achieve a final victory.
Chen Yu saw that the soldiers were already exhausted when they rushed back and forth, and their dream of capturing Han Xin and Zhang Er alive gradually came to naught, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and prepare to go back to rest first.
However, when the exhausted Zhao army reached the halfway point, they saw from a distance that the red banners of the Han army had been planted around their camp, and they couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that the king of Zhao had been captured by the Han army, so they abandoned their armor and fled one after another.
Although General Zhao killed many soldiers who fled, he still could not stop the collapse of Zhao's army.
The Han army occupying the Zhao camp took advantage of the situation to kill, and the main force of the Han army commanded by Han Xin also rushed up at this time, and under the attack from both sides, the Zhao army was instantly defeated, not only beheading Chen Yu, the commander of the Zhao army, but also capturing Zhao Wang Xie.
At this point, the Han army led by Han Xin won a complete victory in the Battle of Jingcheng, and the name of Han Xin's good fighting spread all over the world! 】
[With the capture of Zhao Xie, the king of Zhao, and the killing of Chen Yu, the actual supreme commander of the Zhao army, the Han army launched a final general attack on the remnants of the Zhao army.
As Han Xin and Zhang Er led their troops into the hinterland of Zhao, Cao Shen led his headquarters to pursue the Zhao army Qi Gong in the Wucheng area westward, while the Han army Jin She's army attacked the Handan area of Zhao from the direction of Xingyang.
Soon after, after Cao Shenbu successfully killed the Zhao general Qi Gong, he "led troops to the king of Han", that is, went to Liu Bang.
Then, after completing the task, Jin She's department also "returned to Aocang" and returned to the vicinity of Aocang.
Therefore, in the end, it was Han Xin and Zhang Er who were responsible for the comprehensive occupation of Zhao and the stabilization of Zhao. 】
[In the winter and October of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin and Zhang Erdong went down to the well to attack Zhao, beheaded Chen Yu, and won the king of Zhao. Set Changshan, Daijun.
At this point, the state of Zhao was completely destroyed. 】
[After conquering the Zhao State, Han Xin's next target was naturally close to the Yan State of the Zhao State.
For the Yan State, Han Xin originally planned to attack the Zhao State as he had done to destroy the Zhao State.
However, the Zhao general Guangwujun Li Zuoche surrendered to Han Xin after the fall of the Zhao State, and Han Xin knew that he was a very strategic figure, so he asked his opinion first. 】
[Some people may wonder, isn't Li Zuoche Chen Yu's subordinate? How did it end up here in Hanshin?
The answer is: After Han Xin broke the Zhao State, he offered a reward for capturing Li Zuoche alive!
After someone arrested him, Han Xin immediately loosened his ties for him and treated Li Zuoche with the courtesy of respecting a teacher.
What kind of character is Han Shin?
He is proud, extremely high-minded, and can even be said to be arrogant, but he is so polite and respectful to a "captive".
Then there is only one reason: he really admires Li Zuoche.
And Li Zuoche is indeed an extraordinary character! 】
"Isn't it extraordinary that it can be used by Gaozu as a figure to contain Han Xin?"
"I've never heard of this Li Zuoche before, but I didn't expect it to be such an awesome character!"
"The vast river of history, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been buried."
[If there is no answer from Li Zuoche, maybe Han Xin will really attack, right? ]
But under Li Zuoche's persuasion, Han Xin finally chose another way to pacify the Yan State - that is, to surrender without a fight. 】
[Li Zuoche replied to Han Xin: "Today's plan, it is better to suspend the army according to the armor, within a hundred miles, cattle and wine, to feast on the doctor, the first Yan Road in the north, and then send a multiplication envoy, the book at hand, so that Yan, Yan will not dare not listen." ”
Li Zuoche meant: as long as the Han army made the appearance of attacking Yan to the north, it would definitely cause panic in Yan State. If another envoy is sent to persuade Yan to surrender, then Yan will not dare to disobey.
Of course, the premise of Li Zuoche's suggestion was the outstanding military exploits from Han Xin, and he also said to Han Xin: "Today, the king of Wei will be captured, and Yu Xia will say that he will break Zhao 200,000 people in the next dynasty and become an Anjun." Famous at home, the powerful princes, all the people are lazy, stealing food and clothing, and waiting for the call. ”
It is precisely because Han Xin has become "famous at home and abroad, and he is a powerful prince", so as long as Han Xin stops there, even if there is no actual action, those princes will be terrified.
Therefore, Han Xin was able to force Yan to surrender without a fight. 】
