Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 188 It's Better To Be Famous
On behalf of the main force of the Han army, first contact and negotiate with Xiang Kang. Han Xin, the younger brother of Han Wang Han Cheng, is definitely the best candidate!There is no other reason. When I was in Pengcheng, I heard that Han Xin was actually Han Cheng's brother of the same clan. Han Xin, who had never met before, was full of praise, and every word and every word carried the meaning of admiration. Han Cheng was very impressed by this, and now he wanted to follow the main force of the young commander to take advantage of it. Of course, Han Cheng ordered Han Xin to go out first. Will not think about other people.

Han Xin himself is also very willing to accept this task, because Xiang Kang is absolutely notorious all over the world now. As long as he is a person who cares a little bit about current affairs, there is no one who does not know that the old Xiang family in Chu State has a villain, who is worse than Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. He rebelled against Qin one day earlier, regained a large area of ​​the old land of Chu, bullied the Qin army in the Huaisi area to tears, and defeated the partial divisions sent by Zhang Han many times, creating countless battlefield miracles.Therefore, Han Xin not only admired Xiang Kang more, but also admired him very much, so naturally he would not refuse the opportunity to meet Xiang Kang as soon as possible.

Of course, Han Xin was also very puzzled. He didn't understand how Xiang Kang, who was thousands of miles away, knew that he was an unknown person, and praised him so much inside and outside the words?

The answer to the mystery finally came to the moment. After quickly settling the more than 1000 mobs he brought, Han Xin rushed to the gate of the Marshal's barracks to ask for an interview. As a result, Han Xin was flattered that Xiang Kang, who was notorious all over the world, actually He personally brought the main civil and military officers of the Young Marshal Army to greet him in front of the gate of the camp. When Han Xin hurried forward to salute, Xiang Kang couldn't wait to stop Han Xin, took Han Xin's hand and said happily: "General, you don't need to be too polite. The general's name is like thunder, and Xiang is really lucky to see him today."

"The right general has already said it." Han Xin hurriedly said modestly and sincerely: "Han is just an unknown person, how dare he make such a comment as the right general? On the contrary, everyone knows the world-famous reputation of the right general, Han Xin. To be summoned by General You is the real fortune of the three lives."

"The general is humble, humble." Xiang Kang laughed, pulled Han Xin up and walked into the camp, excitedly said: "General Han Xin, please come inside, the banquet is ready, we must have a good drink today .”

Not to mention, the first impression Han Xin left on Xiang Kang was really good. He was [-] feet [-] inches tall (Qin Chi, more than [-] meters), almost taller than the medium-sized Xiang Kang. He has a head, a square face, and a good-looking appearance. He looks like a general in every way. No matter how you look at it, he looks like Han Xin, the legendary soldier fairy. Therefore, Xiang Kang, whose history is extremely messy, apart from being extremely affectionate to Han Xin in his speech, also early on. Having made up his mind, he is ready to pull Han Xin over at all costs.

Contrary to Xiang Kang, the main civil and military personnel of the Young Marshal Army are not so impressed with Han Xin, especially Uncle Zhou, who Xiang Kang trusts the most in the military, is even more unconvinced by Han Xin. After some introductions, Uncle Zhou tentatively asked Han Xin after drinking for three rounds, "General Han Xin, I heard that the king of Han took you as a general and commanded the army to recover the cities of Han. I don't know which cities the general captured? Defeated those Tyrant Qin troops?"

Uncle Zhou's question just tickled Han Xin's heart, and he immediately replied with a smile: "General Zhou laughed at him. Although Han Xin was wrongly loved by the king brother, he was appointed a general, but because we raised the army too late, the king You don't have many troops in your hands. I have never had the opportunity to lead the army alone. I was the only one who took charge of the battle against Yanling. Fortunately, I didn't disappoint Brother Wang. Finally, I was lucky enough to take down Yanling and seized some food, grass and military supplies. .”

"Yanling?" Xiang Kang next to him was stunned, thinking why I don't remember that there is a county called Yanling in Yingchuan?Puzzled, Xiang Kang subconsciously looked at the map of Yingchuan hanging in the tent, but the result might be that it was dark and the light was too poor, so Xiang Kang still couldn't find the place name Yanling on the map.

"Is there no Yanling City?" Ding Ji, who happened to be sitting next to the map, was also confused. He looked around the map and asked curiously, "Where is Yanling City?"

"Yanling is not a county seat." Yu Que, a demoted official who is familiar with Yingchuan's geography, took up the conversation and introduced: "Yanling is a market in the southeast of Changsha, because it is protected by a city wall, so the locals of Yingchuan like to call it Yanling City. "

The young generals present couldn't help laughing, Han Xin also found something wrong, and quickly added: "In addition, in Xu County, Xiangcheng, Xinzheng and other places, Han also led troops to defeat the tyrant Qin defenders who went out of the city to fight. In the first battle, after the leader of the army was cut off, he stopped the pursuers led by the governor of Baoqin County, Xu Wei, and covered our main force to retreat to Xiangcheng."

Uncle Zhou was silent. He really didn't understand how Han Xin's insignificant achievements deserved so much attention from Xiang Kang. Xiang Kang was also a little strange. He didn't understand how Han Xin, the legendary soldier fairy, could be so proud of such a small victory.But after thinking about it, Xiang Kang coaxed himself again: "Don't worry, everyone needs to grow and experience in actual combat. Han Cheng started his army too late, and his subordinates are full of mobs. Han Xin's ability to fight like this is quite good." .”

At this time, Han Xin, who vaguely realized that the atmosphere was not right, had already changed the subject, and explained to Xiang Kang: "General You, please forgive me for something. Please send a letter to ask our king to temporarily restrain the Tyrant Qin army in Changsha for you, brother Wang Originally, I wanted to do my best, but there was no way. Changsha’s Tyrant Qin army had already sent troops northward to attack the main force of our army. Our army was weak alone, and there was no danger to defend Fu Jiting, so Brother Wang, Zhang Situ and the others It can only be a temporary decision to temporarily avoid the tyranny of the Qin army, and bring the main force to the north to meet with you, General You, and seek your help. General You, General You, please don’t mind if you failed to fulfill your entrustment.”

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter." Seeing the face of Bingxian Han Xin, Xiang Kang wiped the matter away with a wave of his hand.But after thinking about it, Xiang Kang hurriedly asked again: "General Han, where is the Tyrant Qin army going north from Changshe now? When will it catch up with your main force?"

"This..., the right general forgives, but the end is not clear."

Xiang Kang was dumbfounded by Han Xin's answer again, and Uncle Zhou next to him hurriedly said: "General Han, can you send someone to contact your main force immediately, so as to find out the movement of the Tyrant Qin army as soon as possible, this is very important to us."

"It is very important to your army?" Han Xin asked suspiciously, and said, "Your army is strong and strong, why should you care about the Tyrant Qin army chasing from Changsha?"

Uncle Zhou was also dumbfounded by Han Xin's rhetorical question, and said strangely: "General Han, don't you know that we are going to attack Yangdi? The main force of the county soldiers of the Tyrant Qin army went north from Changsha to pursue you. We can just invite the main force of your army Lure them to a decisive battle? After defeating the main force of the Tyrant Qin army's county soldiers in the field, they couldn't help Yangdi to defend the city. Wouldn't it be much easier for us to attack Yangdi?"

Han Xin opened his mouth wide, and after a while he said with embarrassment: "It turns out that the right general has this plan, okay, no problem, the end general will send someone back to contact the main force immediately, brother Wang, please find out the movements of the Tyrant Qin army as soon as possible, and try our best to Lure the Tyrant Qin army to fight with you."

After all, Han Xin really ordered the servant to return to the camp immediately to pass the order, and send someone to contact the main force of the Han army.Xiang Kang, who was sitting on the main seat in the middle, became more and more confused, and couldn't help saying in his heart: "Even a famous general needs time to grow, but Han Xin's starting point is too low, right?"

Then, Uncle Zhou, who always kept in mind Xiang Kang's instructions, tested Han Xin many times, and learned about Han Xin's ability to use troops on the sidelines. As a result, Han Xin was quite satisfactory. Although there were no major omissions, he did not see any bright spots. His understanding can only be ranked in the second-ranked ranks at best, not to mention being inferior to Uncle Zhou who is a genius, even Long Qi and Zhong Limei who are still accumulating military exploits under Xiang Kang's command.As a result, although Xiang Kang's face was calm, he was extremely puzzled in his heart, "What's going on? Is this also considered a soldier?"

"Let's take a look again. Perhaps Han Xin is only good at actual combat and not good at talking on paper." In the end, Xiang Kang could only comfort himself in this way, and ended the banquet for his idol Han Xin with a stomach full of strangeness.

In the early morning of the next day, the main force of the Han army with about [-] troops also caught up with the main force of the Young Marshal. Out of trust in Xiang Kang, Han Cheng and Zhang Liang paid a visit to Xiang Kang in the camp at the first time, and exchanged stories. After saying goodbye, Zhang Liang pleaded guilty to Xiang Kang again with a face full of shame: "Forgive me, General You. Yesterday, our army made a mistake in scouting. We just found out that Changshe's Tyrant Qin army had gathered signs and reported it to our king immediately. As a result, my king mistakenly thought that the Tyrant Qin army was going north to pursue our army, so we could only leave Fu Jiting immediately to avoid the front. But in fact, the Tyrant Qin army in Changsha did not go north, so we have no way to lure them to fight you. .”

Suspected for a long time that Han Xin hadn't told the truth last night, Xiang Kang could only sigh, and then said very generously: "Uncle Zhang, don't mind, it's fine if the Tyrant Qin army didn't come, we just need to hurry up and get to Yangzhou as soon as possible." Zhai, just don’t give them the chance to come back to aid Yang Zhai first.”

Zhang Liang nodded hurriedly, and offered to express his willingness to lead the main force of the Han army with Han Cheng as the pioneer and lead the way to attack Yangdi. Unfortunately, Xiang Kang couldn't believe the marching ability of Han Cheng's gang of mobs, and used the excuse that the main force of the Han army was exhausted from afar , insisting that the young commander-in-chief continue to advance, rush to Yangdi as soon as possible, and let Han Cheng and Zhang Liang lead the army behind.Zhang Liang and Han Cheng, who were few soldiers, did not dare to insist, and immediately obediently agreed to Xiang Kang's request.

There was also something that made Xiang Kang sad. When the young commander was pulling out of the camp, when Xiang Kang casually asked about the situation of Zhang Liang's family, Han Li, who had helped him a lot, Zhang Liang told Xiang Kang sadly that his real name was Zhang. Li's Han Li had unfortunately died in battle in Xu County. Xiang Kang, who originally wanted to repay Han Li, had no choice but to pay homage to Han Li on the spot to express his grief.

Then, of course, Xiang Kang didn't dare to waste any more time. He took the main force of the young commander and rushed all the way. It took only two days to arrive at the outskirts of Yangdi City. , Not daring to cross Yingshui to fight, resolutely gave up the position on the east bank of Yingshui and retreated to the west bank, guarding the ferry to prevent the young commander's army from crossing the river.Xiang Kang didn't hesitate when he saw it, he quickly went to the shore of Yingshui to survey the hydrology, and adopted Uncle Zhou's suggestion, decided to storm the Yingshui Ferry in the eastern suburbs of Yangdi and forcefully cross the river, saving time and showing off his military power, and killing as many people as possible outside the city the vital force of the enemy.

One day later, the main force of the Young Marshal quickly made preparations for the crossing. During the period, the main force of the Korean Army also arrived at Yingshui Ferry under the leadership of Han Cheng, Zhang Liang and others. The scouts flew to report again, saying that the rescuers of the Qin army led by Xu Wei, the prime minister of Yingchuan County, had also arrived within [-] miles east of the ferry.As a result, it was clear that the reinforcements of the Qin army were only more than [-] people, and the young generals immediately asked for orders to lead their troops to defeat the reinforcements of the Qin army for Xiang Kang.

After careful consideration for a moment, Xiang Kang made up his mind and said, "We'll concentrate on the crossing, and let Han Cheng and the others deal with the reinforcements from the Tyrant Qin. I want to take a closer look at the quality of our friendly army."

"General Right, it's best to deploy an army on both sides of our position." Uncle Zhou suggested: "Otherwise, if the South Korean army fails in the battle, it will be troublesome if the defeated troops mess up our formation."

Out of safety considerations, Xiang Kang still nodded in agreement with Uncle Zhou's suggestion, and immediately ordered the two generals Li Shang and Ding Ji to each lead an army to station on the two wings of the position just in case, and ordered Uncle Zhou and the two generals Long Qie to lead the troops Overcome heavy responsibilities, lead the main force to respond in the middle, calmly meet the enemy on two fronts, and fight separately.

In a short while, the crossing began. Nearly a thousand young commanders under Long Qie's command drove large and small boats, shouting and rolling towards the west bank of Yingshui. The Qin army on the west bank shot like rain, but they still couldn't stop the young commander. With a brave attack, the fleet quickly crossed the center of the river and gradually approached the west bank.At the same time, at the request of Xiang Kang, Han Cheng and Han Xin also led the main force of the Han army to form a formation to intercept the reinforcements of the Qin army coming from the east.

God gave Han Xin a chance to show himself in front of Xiang Kang. Seeing that the young generals had launched a rush to cross, in order to share the pressure for the defenders on the west bank, Xu Wei, the governor of Yingchuan County with only more than [-] troops, resolutely launched an attack on the ferry. , also ran into the intercepting soldiers of the Han army head-on.As a result, seeing this situation, Xiang Kang no longer cared about the situation of rushing across, and only concentrated on paying attention to the battle between the Han army and the Qin army.

It is a pity that on the battlefield, the performance of the main force of the Han army led by Bingxian Han Xin made Xiang Kang break his glasses. A large number of arrows had little effect, and then when the soldiers of the Qin army rushed to the Han army to fight close to the Han army under the rain of arrows, the Han army's obviously not strict Chinese defense line quickly bent back, completely exposing their true nature as a mob.At the same time, what Xiang Kang couldn't understand was that the Chinese army's position had just been tight, and Han Cheng and Han Xin, regardless of the fact that the Qin army still had sufficient reserves, immediately commanded the two wings of the army to pinch the Qin army's front team, as if they were only planning to force back The front team of the Qin Army does not consider the reaction of the rear team of the Qin Army.

"Very typical rogue tactics." Chao Zhi, who is better at battles, commented, "I just like to bully the few by virtue of the number of people. If we can quickly defeat the former army of the Tyrant Qin army, then we can say anything. .If the front army of the Tyrant Qin army survives this wave of rushing and persists for a while, and when the rear army finds an opportunity to attack, Han Cheng and the others will undoubtedly be defeated."

Xiang Kang was silent, and after a while he murmured in his heart, "Is this how soldiers are used by soldiers? If Han Xin is at this level, I don't want such soldiers."

Having said that, the performance of the main force of the Han army is not completely useless. At least the morale and fighting spirit are relatively high. The mob under his command still fought vigorously for a time, beating the front team of the Qin army out of breath. However, as the battle continued, the front team of the Qin army, which had relatively superior weapons and equipment, gradually formed a circular formation. The soldiers gradually had no choice but to be firmly blocked from the circle by the Qin army. No matter how they attacked, they could not break through the small circle of the Qin army.

Then, as Chao Zhi predicted, when the morale of the Han army gradually began to decline, Xu Wei, the prime minister of Yingchuan County, who was obviously better at battles, decisively dispatched soldiers on both wings, and in turn attacked the two wings of the Han army's front team, fighting with the trapped soldiers. The front team teamed up to attack the Han soldiers from inside and outside, and quickly reversed the situation on the battlefield, gradually gaining the upper hand.

If it was Xiang Kang who encountered such a situation, he would definitely let the rear team stabilize their position so that they could cover their retreat when the front army lost, but the so-called soldier Han Xin once again made Xiang Kang's glasses go unnoticed, and he knocked on him desperately. The drums of the general offensive were sounded, and the rear of the Korean army was forced to attack, in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle by relying on partial force superiority.Seeing this scene, Xiang Kang could only sigh, and said: "Sure enough, it's better to meet each other than to be famous, and it's better to be famous than to meet."

Fortunately, the main force of the Korean army was in a mess on the eastern front, but the western battlefield in charge of the young commander was full of cheers. Two waves of troops across the river successfully rushed to the west bank of Yingshui, occupying a large area of ​​the west bank, and rushed to the west bank. The Qin army reserve team dispatched was fighting all over the ground, retreating in embarrassment, and the success of the rescue has already seen the dawn.So Xiang Kang was not in a hurry, he just went to order the soldiers on the two wings early, so that Ding Ji and Li Shang would dispatch immediately after the main force of the Han army was defeated, and attack the Qin army's pursuers, so as to prevent the Qin army's pursuers from driving away the mob under Han Cheng's command. The free striker disrupted the middle army position of the Young Marshal's army - that Kang must have killed Han Cheng with one knife!

As expected, when the third wave of the Young Marshal's army successfully rushed to the west bank of Yingshui, the rear troops of the Qin Army on the Eastern Front really sounded the drums of marching, maintaining a strict formation and slowly approaching. On the battlefield of the former army, the main force of the Korean army, which barely managed to keep the tie, was panicked because of partial force superiority, and the soldiers retreated one after another. He ran away with his head in his arms, and completely collapsed.

After the defeat, the main force of the Korean army fled directly to the middle army position of the Young Marshal Army for help, while the Qin army only pursued with all its strength in the chaotic front team, and the rear army still maintained a strict formation just in case.The result was also good, the young generals on both wings rushed out very decisively immediately, attacking the Qin army's pursuers from left and right, which prevented the defeated Han army from panicking, and directly rushed into the middle army position of the young generals.

The battle situation was reversed again, and the young generals and soldiers who had experienced many battles attacked like a wave, and they rushed the Qin army's pursuers to their backs with just one encounter, screaming continuously, although the Yingchuan Qin army who had been bullying the little thieves in Yingchuan County also Fighting hard, but still unable to stop the ferocious offensive of the Young Commander's Army, he was soon forced to retreat, while Ding Ji and Li Shang followed closely, forcing the rear of the Qin Army to change formation quickly. Set up a circular formation to resist the impact of the young commander's army, cover the retreat of the former army and regroup.

At the same time, after Han Cheng left Han Xin and Zhang Liang to reorganize the army, he also came to Xiang Kang out of breath. As a result, he saw that the young commander had already crossed the river in large numbers on the high ground and basically controlled the Yingshui Ferry. Of course, he bowed and bowed his hands again and again, repeatedly apologizing and praising the young commander's army for their sharp soldiers, and they basically managed to cross over so quickly.Xiang Kang didn't bother to pay attention to Han Cheng's flattery, and just asked directly: "Excuse me, King Han, just now your army launched a general offensive. I wonder if it was your decision or did you listen to other people's suggestions?"

"It's the suggestion of the widow's clan brother Han Xin." Han Cheng replied: "Shicai Xindi thought that our former army is tight, and we will inevitably lose the battle if we persist in a stalemate, so he suggested launching a general offensive to gamble. To retreat from the violent Qin army, I followed his advice."

Xiang Kang was completely speechless, and it took him a long time to say in his heart: "At most second-rate level, such Han Xin, I don't care."
