Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 106

Xiang Kang really wronged his good third uncle Xiang Bo this time. This time Bo Xiang really didn't frame him out of thin air and shamelessly slander him. In fact, not only did Feng Zhong really do this on the southern battlefield, but he even did it better than what Xiang Bo described in his letter. Some of them have gone too far and become more rampant.

However, as expected by Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng, Xiang Kang arranged for General Feng Zhong, a general with a foreign surname, to fight on the southern front. The same ancestor didn't dare to greet Xiang Kang himself, and still scolded his unfilial nephew bloody behind his back, scolding Xiang Kang for cheating, betraying his ancestors, and leaving such a talented, civil and military man like himself alone. Uncle, who is both complete and victorious in all battles, does not come to respect him, but actually reuses Feng Zhong, a slave with a foreign surname, who has been a country mud leg of ordinary people for generations!At that time, if Zhang Liang and Xiang You hadn't been holding each other to each other, Uncle Xiang would have rushed back to the northern line and went directly to Xiang Kang, an unfilial nephew, to fight for his life!

While hating Xiang Kang, Xiang Bo was of course extremely dissatisfied with Feng Zhong who took away his position as the commander of the southern front. He dreamed of replacing Feng Zhong and taking control of the southern front of the Young Marshal Army. When the military meeting was held, Uncle Xiang played tricks. Before Feng Zhong, who presided over the meeting, could speak, he deliberately rushed to say: "Everyone, today we are gathering to discuss how to take other cities in the southern part of the East China Sea. Open up a direct connection with the army directly under our Great Chu Shangzhu State Marshal Xiang Liang, I hope everyone will work together to see if there is any good strategic plan, even if you speak freely, if it is feasible, the old man and General Feng Zhongfeng will definitely adopt it."

Hearing this, the young generals present were of course a little dumbfounded, and subconsciously looked at Feng Zhong's reaction, and Feng Zhong was obviously a little caught off guard, for a moment he didn't know how to refute Xiang Bo's pretentiousness. Fortunately, at this moment The soldiers surnamed Han who were close to Feng Zhong reacted quickly, and whispered a few words in Feng Zhong's ear in time, Feng Zhong finally came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Master Xiang misunderstood, this meeting will be held today, I don't want to discuss the next tactical plan with you, but to discuss other things."

The Young Marshal Jun Wenwu continued to remain silent, but he had some admiration for Feng Zhong in his heart, and he cleverly regained the initiative without being humble or arrogant. Such a method is rare.Uncle Xiang, who was trying to evade Feng Zhong in vain, had an ugly expression on his face. He forced a smile and said, "It is true that the old man has misunderstood, but General Feng, what other things do you want to discuss in this meeting?"

Having worked as a Pavilion Chief and You Yan, and later served as a Tu Dawang in Xu County for a period of time, Feng Zhong also developed some leadership skills through experience, cleared his throat and said: "Master Xiang, and all the generals, Shao Meng Shuai wrong love, promoted me to be the general of the Great Chu Kingdom, and asked me to preside over the southern front of the Great Chu Young Commander Army. I, Feng Zhong, was really flattered, but I had to be loyal to my duty. I received a letter from the Young Commander yesterday. After the order, I thought hard and weighed it over and over again, and I have decided on a tactical plan for using troops to fight, and today I just want to ask everyone for their opinions to see if my tactical plan is feasible."

Uncle Xiang's complexion became even uglier. Chen Ying, who actually looked down on Uncle Xiang in his bones, smiled slightly and said, "It turns out that General Feng already has a chance of winning, so we can rest assured. General Feng, please tell me your clever strategy. Keep your ears open."

"Chen Duwei's award is not a clever strategy, but a superficial tactical plan." Feng Zhong said modestly, and then said: "That's what I planned. I plan to concentrate the main force of our young commander's army on the southern front, and go east first. Attack Huaiyin, take this city, then go south to capture Guangling, seize the city and open up direct contact with Marshal Xiang, and finally turn around and go west to take Tangyi, recover the entire East China Sea, and fulfill the entrustment and expectations of the young commander to us."

Chen Ying and the other young commanders, Wen and Wu, nodded, but Xiang Bo was eccentric, and said: "General Feng really has a clever strategy. The main force of our army is currently concentrated in Xutai, and Dongyang to the south is the territory of General Chen Ying and Chen. Taking the Tangyi is the most convenient way, if you don’t take the shortcut, you will waste time, go to fight Huaiyin Jiancheng first, and then go south to take Guangling. It’s really a brilliant move, a brilliant move.”

Uncle Xiang's deliberate difficulty is doomed to have no effect, because before that, Feng Zhong also raised a similar question to his own soldiers surnamed Han, and immediately smiled and said: "Master Xiang's words are not bad, as far as the current situation is concerned, Looking at it, it seems that it is most convenient for our army to go south and take the Tangyi directly. However, Master is a wise man, but he will occasionally miss it, because Master, you forgot a way, go ahead!"

Xiang Bo looked at Feng Zhong in doubt, but Feng Zhong talked eloquently and said, "Master Xiang must have forgotten that it is two hundred miles from Xutai to Tangyi, and 130 miles from Tangyi to Guangling. The road is difficult for soldiers to walk, and it is even more difficult to transport food and grass. If our army takes Huaiyin first, it can go directly southward to Guangling along the wide and smooth road built by the Tyrant Qin. During this period, our army only needs to walk about 140 miles. At the same time, it can also benefit from the Huaihe River's waterway transportation of grain, which not only saves time, but also saves the food and grass needed for grain transportation. ?”

Xiang Bo was at a loss for words, and after a while he continued to nitpick, and said: "Huaiyin City is strong, our army has been unable to attack it several times before, and sacrificed the lives of many soldiers. If we still can't take it down, no matter how easy the road is use?"

"Master, don't worry, this time is already the other time." Feng Zhong said with a smile: "Although the city of Huaiyin is strong and difficult to attack, our Young Commander Xiang has already wiped out the main force of the Tyrant Qin army in Donghai County, and captured Tancheng, the governor of Donghai County. After hearing the news, the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin must be heartbroken, and if our army goes to attack now, how could it not be easy to capture?"

"That's easy to say."

Uncle Xiang snorted loudly, showing extreme disdain for Feng Zhong's brazen words.It's a pity that the other young generals, civil and military, didn't see it that way. Xutai County Magistrate Ma Pei, who had voluntarily surrendered before, immediately stood up and said to Feng Zhong: "What General Feng said is very true. Hearing that Gongsun Qing died, Tancheng The tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin must be frightened and has no intention of fighting again. The officials are not talented, and they have a small friendship with Liu Dingzhi, the county magistrate of Huaiyin. They are willing to go to Huaiyin for the general and persuade Liu Ding to surrender in Kaesong. I hope the general will allow it."

Hearing this, Feng Zhong of course showed joy, and opened his mouth to agree, but the soldier surnamed Han behind him coughed suddenly, and at the same time tapped Feng Zhong's back with his finger, Feng Zhong came to his senses and hurriedly He smiled and said: "Maxian Zun is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and volunteered to take the risk to persuade the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin to surrender. I am really touched. But there is no need, it is too dangerous to do so, I am really reluctant to let the county zun go to you." Take such a big risk."

"General, you don't have to worry." Ma Pei insisted, "Since he surrendered to the Great Chu, Ma has not made any achievements of any size, and he is really ashamed. Now that he has the opportunity, the officials are willing to take this risk to help the general achieve great achievements. "

Feng Zhong still shook his head, and once again declined Ma Pei's offer of volunteering. Ma Pei had no choice but to ask Feng Zhong what he planned to do, but Feng Zhong replied: "There is no rush to recruit. Our army attacked Huaiyin with a partial division. The loss of soldiers and the loss of more than 160 soldiers must be avenged. This general means that after our army dispatches troops, we should put up a white flag in the army and write the four characters of revenge and hatred, so that the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin can understand. You know, our army's eastward advance this time, in addition to taking down Huaiyin City, we also have to settle the old debts from our last attack on the city!"

Everyone was stunned, and of course Uncle Xiang laughed wildly. Chen Ying, Ma Pei, and others were also surprised and said, "General Feng, are you joking? Are we not making Huaiyin How could the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin surrender to us?"

"Don't ask too much, just do it this way." Feng Zhong insisted, and said: "Everyone go back today and prepare to send troops. We will send troops eastward at noon tomorrow to take Huaiyin down."

Chen Ying, Ma Pei and the others were dumbfounded again, but Uncle Xiang laughed happily, and couldn't wait to say: "Did you hear that? General Feng has already given orders, hurry up and prepare, and we will send troops east to fight Huaiyin at noon tomorrow. There is still a note Hold on, prepare the banner of revenge, and release this news, let the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin know that we are going to them to settle the old score this time!"

The Young Marshal Jun Wenwu didn't dare to blame Xiang Bo, but turned his eyes to Feng Zhong, Feng Zhong said with a smile: "Hurry up and prepare, people will prepare a banquet tonight, let's get together again, and arrange to stay behind Regarding Xutai's affairs, we will set off tomorrow to fight Huaiyin."

The young generals, all civil and military, looked at each other, but couldn't stand Feng Zhong's repeated urging, so they had no choice but to go down to prepare. Xiang Bo also walked away with a smile on his face, leading Xiang You.In the end, after everyone had left, Feng Zhongcai said to the soldiers surnamed Han behind him: "It's really hard to endure. If you didn't stop me, I really want to tell them our real plan."

"You have to endure it." The soldier surnamed Han replied: "General, you have just ascended to a high position. Not only Master Xiang will definitely not accept it, but Chen Duwei and Xiang Qian may not be convinced in their hearts. If you don't make a little mystery, let them If they can't see through your methods and skills, general, how can they know your brilliance, general? Be patient for a few days, and then give them a surprise, and they will really obey you."

Feng Zhong nodded again and again, patted Han on the shoulder and said, "Please help me, I can't treat you badly, and if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely recommend you in front of the young commander and ask him to use you again."

"I hope you can do what you say." The soldier surnamed Han muttered in his heart, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with Feng Zhong's repeated embezzlement of his own achievements and embezzlement of his own planning and planning.

…………

When Feng Zhong and the soldiers surnamed Han had their own ghosts, Uncle Xiang also returned to his residence with a smile on his face. As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to tell his friend Zhang Liang about the meeting. As a result, Zhang Liang was also baffled when he heard it. Said: "It's right to attack Huaiyin first. If I were to command your southern army, brother, I would definitely attack Huaiyin first and then take Guangling. But what kind of trick is it to directly use the banner of revenge? Wouldn't it be even more difficult to take Huaiyin if we were forced to a dead end?"

"The villain will succeed." Uncle Xiang said contemptuously: "I won't listen to anyone's persuasion. I just insist on doing this, and I don't bother to care about him. When he suffers, I'll see how I deal with him!"

Zhang Liang made some calculations, and then said after a long while: "Brother, I think you'd better find out the situation first. Although Feng Zhong, the head of Guizhou, came from a humble background, he is quite resourceful and intelligent in his actions. I suspect that he is so Playing tricks, trying to surprise everyone by surprise, establish his prestige and prestige, and make everyone obey his true words."

Uncle Xiang listened to Zhang Liang's words. In order to find out Feng Zhong's real intentions and plans, when everyone gathered for a banquet in the evening, Uncle Xiang repeatedly tried to persuade Feng Zhong not to act recklessly. He took out something, but Feng Zhong was determined to keep it a secret, he gritted his teeth and refused to reveal anything.In a hurry, the grumpy and conceited Xiang Bo also had a dispute with Feng Zhong, which caused the dinner to break up unhappy.

At noon the next day, after spending money to buy a fortune-teller and pretending to be a ghost, he got the signed Feng Zhong, who led the young commander's army with a total of more than [-] to advance eastward. Youjun really received a white flag with four big characters of "revenge and hatred". Xiang You was helpless, so he had no choice but to follow the order. While raising the banner of revenge to the front of the army, he asked the soldiers to spread the news to the people along the way, deliberately letting the Qin army in Huaiyin find out the purpose of sending troops.

Two days later in the morning, Xiang Youjun, who was marching lightly, arrived at the Huaiyin city first. The Huaiyin Qin army led by Liu Dingzhi and Guan Hu did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and decisively chose to close the city to protect themselves.At the same time, the situation was also predicted by Xiang Bo and Xiang You. The Qin army in Huaiyin, who had heard the news in advance, not only tried their best to strengthen the city defense, but also rushed to repair a fortification under the city of Huaiyin. Huaiyin City, which was already very difficult to attack, became even more difficult to attack.

On the afternoon of that day, Feng Zhong led the main force to Huaiyin City. Xiang Bo, Xiang Sui and his son came out of the camp to greet them, but they only checked the terrain roughly. The main force was stationed at the south gate, and another [-] troops were stationed outside the east gate of Huaiyin. At the same time, [-] soldiers were sent across the north bank of the Huaihe River to guard the wharf, so as not to give the Huaiyin Qin army a chance to escape across the river.

Seeing this scene, all the generals of the Young Commander were puzzled, and they all said to Feng Zhong: "General Feng, how can you arrange the camp like this? If we force the Tyrant Qin army in the city to a dead end, and the trapped beasts will still fight, wouldn't it be even more difficult for our army to break through the city?"

"Three should be encircled and one should be missing." Xiang You couldn't help but said: "The Tyrant Qin army in the city still has a way to go to Guangling. We should deliberately give up the south gate to leave a way out for the Tyrant Qin army, and then go back to the city. Initiate a siege, so that the siege will be more assured!"

"Let the Tyrant Qin army run away, wouldn't our banner of revenge be for nothing?" Feng Zhong smiled, pointing to the banner of Xiang You's camp and said: "Brother Xiang You forgot, we are here this time not only to attack Outside of the city, there is another purpose, which is to avenge your failure to attack the city last time, leaving a way out for the Tyrant Qin army to escape, how can we take revenge?"

Xiang You was speechless, but Feng Zhong waved his hand and said, "Let's do this, immediately divide the troops and set up a camp, and build a strong camp for a long-term plan!"

Feng Zhong couldn't be held back, so the young generals had no choice but to obey the orders. As a result, they saw that the young generals divided up their troops to besiege the city, and they didn't even spare the Qin army's position on the north bank of the Huai River where it was difficult for them to escape. Of course, the Qin army in Huaiyin City There was an uproar, the faces of the generals were black, and the expressions of the soldiers were sad. They all knew that this time they were doomed. After the city was broken, the defenders in the city might not survive. Rumors that the handsome army will slaughter the city after breaking through.

Feng Zhong's stupid tricks continued to this point, of course Uncle Xiang couldn't stand it anymore, disregarding Zhang Liang's persuasion, he wrote a letter to Xiang Kang in his own handwriting immediately after returning to camp, accusing Feng Zhong of all kinds of perverse actions to his unfilial nephew, making him Xiang Kang knew what kind of person he used to preside over the Southern Front War of the Young Marshal Army, and then sent someone to send out the letter overnight, and shouted: "Feng Zhong, you are simply playing with our Xiang family's army! The old man was in a hurry, and the old man killed him with a single knife, and seized the military power to take charge of the army himself, and see what Xiang Kang can do to my uncle?!"

Zhang Liang didn't stop Xiang Bo's nonsense this time, because Zhang Liang really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Feng Zhong was selling in the gourd this time. If Feng Zhong was really messing around like this, Zhang Liang would never stop him. Xiang Bo seized power by force and created opportunities for himself to flex his muscles.but……

However, something unexpected happened to Zhang Liang. On the next morning, Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo, who had been bored all day long, rode their horses around outside the camp to relax, except to see Feng Zhong sending troops to cut wood nearby to make siege weapons. Outside, I suddenly saw a group of people walking out of Feng Zhong's camp, beating drums and marching towards the south gate of Huaiyin with great fanfare.Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo were curious together, so they rushed over to check the situation, and were very surprised to see that Ma Pei, who had volunteered to persuade Feng Zhong to surrender the Huaiyin defenders before, was wearing an official uniform and sitting high in a gorgeous carriage , surrounded by musicians, drove towards Huaiyin South Gate with a smile on his face.

"What the hell is Feng Zhong'er doing? Why did you ask Ma Pei to make such a big fight?"

Seeing this scene, Uncle Xiang was of course confused. He couldn't figure out what kind of powerful pill Feng Zhong was selling in the gourd this time, but Zhang Liang suddenly screamed and slapped himself on the forehead heavily. , exclaimed angrily: "Gao! Why didn't I think of this?"

"What didn't Zifang think of?" Xiang Bo asked quickly.

"I forgot that if you directly send envoys to surrender, the tyrant Qin generals in Huaiyin City will have a lot of worries, and may not readily agree to surrender. After hesitating again and again, the surrender will not only take time and effort, but may also cause extra problems, and the success will be on the verge of failure." Zhang Liang smiled wryly and said: "But Feng Zhong deliberately messed around like this before, deliberately forced the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin City to a dead end, and then suddenly released a way out, the Tyrant Qin army in Huaiyin had to take this way of life. "

Uncle Xiang was speechless, but Zhang Liang turned his eyes to Feng Zhong's camp helplessly, and muttered, "Feng Zhong is really just a villager who has been farming for generations? It's just a common lobbyist Tricks, how could he be so whimsical, and use them to fight and defeat the enemy? Rural peasants? After I, a Korean nobleman..., alas! What a shame!"

"It is absolutely impossible to succeed! Absolutely!"

When Zhang Liang, who had been beaten repeatedly, shook his head and sighed and doubted himself again, Uncle Xiang murmured in despair, "He has already played the banner of revenge before, and the Tyrant Qin army in the city is afraid of us revenge, absolutely impossible Promise to surrender again! Absolutely can't agree, otherwise, there is really no place to put this old face of this old man!"
