Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2615 The God of War Descends to Jin, the End of Youzhou Arrives

Zhang Han surrendered to Jin, and Qin's army at Quliang was defeated.

This signifies that Ji County was now the last place Qin Zheng could control. The troops stationed in Ji County were also the last troops Qin Zheng could command.

Although there was still Han Xin, Xue Rengui and Li Cunxiao, leading the Flying Tiger Cavalry, relentlessly pursued him, so even if Han Xin had any ideas, he had no chance to implement them.

Moreover, because they are relentlessly pursuing Han Xin, he has hardly had any chance to replenish his supplies.

How long can this cat-and-mouse game last? It remains to be seen!

In fact, within Ji County, there were also people like Zhang Han and Cheng Tang who wanted to "understand the bigger picture." Thus, people like Jiang Xiaobai and Bao Shuya, who had contacted the Jin army, and Qin general Zhang Ji, also had the intention to avoid battle.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaobai and Bao Shuya had no power, and Zhang Ji's status was too low, so they had virtually no chance.

Within Youzhou, Qin Zheng was still in power, and below him, the Black Ice Guard, led by Xiao En and Shen Zhong, was suppressing the rebellion. Few dared to step forward!

Although Zhang Han surrendered, he only dared to admit it after he went out to lead troops.

Of course, there are also those who follow the crowd.

As long as the Qin dynasty wasn't completely destroyed, they would obediently serve as its subjects. If the Qin dynasty fell, they would simply continue to follow the crowd; after all, the Jin army couldn't possibly kill them all.

They were neither members of the Youqin royal family, nor had they killed important Jin generals like Bai Xiang and his men. Even if the Jin army wanted to punish them later, they wouldn't be able to hold them accountable.

Zhang Han has surrendered!

In fact, even those within Youzhou found it unbelievable. For one thing, his family was still in Ji County. Zhang Han's actions showed a complete disregard for his own family!

Of course, some people also expressed their understanding.

After all, Zhang Han's eldest son was serving in his army.

Within Ji County, the main concern was only one wife.

As for the other concubines or their children, how much status they have in the master's heart really depends on the person!
Therefore, the general public understands why some of the more ruthless individuals made such a choice.

Upon receiving the news, Shen Zhong personally led the Black Ice Guard personnel to arrest and imprison Zhang Han's family members in Ji County.

Whether to kill or not is something to be decided later; Qin Zheng has not yet made a decision.

However, at least a show of respect must be made. At the very least, we must not give others the courage to follow suit.

Yin Jiao and Wu Geng, on the other hand, found themselves in a somewhat awkward position within Ji County at this time.

Their fathers had both died at the hands of the Jin army, which naturally made them more reassuring.

Unfortunately, Zhang Han surrendered to Jin. Although Cheng Tang did not act as proactively as Zhang Han in this incident, he did not oppose anything and followed the trend.

To say he is guilty is not a capital offense, but to say he is innocent is also absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Yin Jiao and Wu Geng, as relatives of Cheng Tang, did not have an easy time after the news arrived.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng didn't actually do anything to the two of them in the end.

In fact, Wu Geng was somewhat envious of Cheng Tang's surrender to Jin with Zhang Han. Had he known such a thing would happen, he would have volunteered to join Zhang Han's army. He had thought that Zhang Han's march to Shanggu would be extremely dangerous, but he hadn't expected them to surrender so readily.

Indeed, his father, King Zhou of Yin, did die at the hands of the Jin army.

For most people, this is indeed a blood feud, a feud that will last until death.

But isn't it just that Wu Geng doesn't belong to the vast majority of people?
Unlike his elder brother Yin Jiao, Wu Geng didn't have that kind of heart!
In this life, King Zhou of Yin did not have as many stories as in the novel, so his relationship with his son did not break down and remained very good.

That day!

After news of Zhang Han and Qin Quliang arrived, Li Mu employed a strategy of psychological warfare. Although this strategy caused some commotion, it was suppressed by Qin Zheng and other members of the royal family, including Qin Ji, Qin Renhao, and Qin Ji.

Qin Zheng openly stated that among the descendants of the Qin bloodline, there were only those who died in battle, and none who surrendered.

Li Mu had no choice but to continue his external attack if he couldn't break through from the inside.

Thus began another brutal ten-day siege, with countless casualties on both sides.

But at this time, another piece of bad news came from Youzhou: following Zhang Han's surrender to Jin, Han Xin also surrendered to Han.

Persuading Qin Zheng to surrender voluntarily was not just difficult, it was simply impossible.

It's better to kill him than to make him surrender. In fact, even wiping out his entire clan wouldn't make him surrender willingly.

However, compared to that, persuading Han Xin to surrender, while still difficult, was not impossible.

Xue Rengui, one of the two major military forces in the north, or Zhang Liang, who came later, both wrote to Han Xin several times.

After all, from their perspective, they had indeed driven Han Xin to a dead end.

A large number of troops had completely blocked Han Xin's retreat, trapping him east of the Pan River. Xue Rengui personally led Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Cavalry to relentlessly pursue Han Xin.

Even Xue Rengui had considered the possibility of Han Xin launching a counterattack, and whether he and the Flying Tiger Cavalry would be defeated. Even so, before the defeat, enough Jin troops from all sides had already surrounded them.

No matter how resourceful Han Xin was, how could he extricate himself from this predicament? Even Xue Rengui and Zhang Liang, putting themselves in Han Xin's shoes, couldn't come up with a solution at this point, unless the enemy commander made a foolish mistake!
Of course, there are indeed instances in history where one side's commander makes a foolish mistake, while the other side manages to win a battle that can be described as miraculous.

However, for a general, if such a thing were to happen, it would naturally be a stroke of good fortune. But they cannot subjectively place all their hopes on such a thing.

Of course, Han Xin's tenacity still exceeded their expectations.

Despite the elite Flying Tiger Cavalry, they still managed to slip away time and time again, leaving Xue Rengui helplessly trailing behind. Each time, he was just a hair's breadth away from catching up.

Fortunately, although he was just a little short, the surrounding counties were all under the control of the Han Dynasty, and Xue Rengui was pursuing him so closely that Han Xin had no source of food and supplies, so in the end he was in a desperate situation.

In addition, the previous letters of persuasion from Zhang Liang and Xue Rengui had still left some seeds in Han Xin's heart.

Thus, Han Xin eventually surrendered to Jin.

Perhaps, when Han Xin led two thousand cavalrymen out of Anci, he was already subconsciously prepared for this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept Qin Shi and his powerful generals by Qin Quliang's side. Although he had another member of the Qin clan, Qin Yao, by his side, she was much easier to deal with than the other three.
