Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 320 Xiang Kang VS Han Xin (5)

He had noticed it before, and through Fan Kui being enraged by the Han army in turn, Han Xin finally confirmed that he had met an opponent this time. He is insidious and vicious, good at taking advantage of the weaknesses of human nature, and at the same time he is very clear about the internal situation of the Nanyang Army. The degree of danger is so high that Han Xin has never seen in his life.

If the feigned surrender plan that led to the disastrous defeat of the Western Chu Army's partial division under Gou's City was also the work of this opponent, then this opponent is undoubtedly even more terrifying, because he is not only very aware of the internal contradictions of the Liu Xiang coalition army, but also extremely good at using such contradictions to make things out of it. In the ensuing battle, as long as there is a little bit of filth between the Nanyang Army and the Western Chu Army's partial divisions, this opponent may take advantage of the loopholes and cause incalculable dangerous consequences.

Han Xin didn't know who this opponent was, but Han Xin knew very well that this opponent might not be as good as himself in the use of tactics, but when it came to cunning and treachery, he would probably have to bow down in front of him.

Fortunately, although the enemy is mysterious and terrifying, Han Xin has never been afraid of anyone in battle. Even though Liu Xiang's coalition forces have a small advantage in strength, the Han army has a great geographical advantage and can't hold on. At the same time, Nanyang The army had to meet Xiang Yu's strict requirements, and adopted offensive tactics to put pressure on the Han army on the southern front, so that the Han army on the southern front could not be spared to reinforce other battlefields. This did not bother Han Xin. An offensive tactic was quickly formulated for the Nanyang Army.

Han Xin's tactics are actually very simple, that is, aiming at the fact that there are many small roads around Songshan Mountain, and the Han army has deployed a certain amount of troops to guard each small road, let the Nanyang Army divide into multiple teams and attack from multiple directions to attack each small road. A small force of the Han army stationed there.

As a result, the Songshan defense line of the Han army was covered with blood and blood. In the mountains, forests, streams, deep streams, and hills, as long as there are Han army soldiers stationed, you can see the Nanyang army with spears and shouts everywhere. As long as the soldiers of the Nanyang Army with a team of 200 find the traces of the soldiers of the Han Army, they will immediately launch an attack without hesitation. If the first team fails, they will go to the second team. Just decisively join the third team until the Han army is defeated and run away. In short, while forcing the Han army to bleed, at the same time lure the Han army to send more troops into the small road to fight.

This seemingly clumsy tactic made Xiang Kang very uncomfortable. In front of such a dangerous enemy as Han Xin, the complex terrain meant that Xiang Kang had to closely monitor every path, and he could not give Han Xin any chance to win by surprise. Xiang Kang was also doomed. It is necessary to continuously invest in troops to compete with the Nanyang Army for control of the mountain trails. However, under the premise that it is too late to build strong fortifications to guard the dangers, the Han Army can only be forced to fight on every trail, forced to consume, and the number of casualties is also low. So straight up.

The Nanyang army can afford such a bloody and attrition war. After successfully capturing the hinterland of Yingchuan, the [-] Nanyang army at the time of departure has expanded its strength to more than [-], and can continue to obtain cannon fodder supplies from the hinterland of Yingchuan. With the side division of the Western Chu Army with good combat effectiveness helping to share the pressure on the front, Han Xin can safely use more than half of the Nanyang Army for the attrition war on the mountain roads, always occupying a partial force advantage.And if the Han army couldn't bear such consumption and launched a counterattack from the front, it would still hit Han Xin's arms and give Liu Xiang's allied forces a chance to launch a decisive battle.

Of course, the disadvantage in terms of military strength is not very great. Xiang Kang can also transfer the Han army reserve team led by Zheng Bu from the Goushi City to strengthen the mountain battlefield, but Xiang Kang knows very well that this is probably exactly what Han Xin wanted One of the purposes, as long as I do this, I may give Han Xin the opportunity for ants to gnaw bones and gradually devour my reserve forces.If you don't strengthen the guards on the mountain road, you can only be beaten. If you strengthen the guards on the mountain road, it will give the enemy more opportunities to force consumption. The dilemma is that Xiang Kang has a headache.

It was only at this time that Xiang Kang really understood the horror of Han Xin, and he also hoped that he could capture the thief first and the king first, so that he could quickly clean up this dangerous enemy and reverse the current passive situation of his own army.The result was not bad. At the critical moment, the scouts of the Han army finally found out the important news that Xiang Yu sent Uncle Xiang to the Songshan battlefield to serve as the supervisor of the army by scratching their tongues. As a result, this situation was just reported to Xiang Kang. Kang immediately applauded with great joy and said: "Successful, our forged letter from Han Xin really made my elder brother suspicious of Liu Ji, so I sent my idiot Uncle Ji to supervise the army."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it may not be good news." Long Qi continued to report worriedly: "The scouts of the Western Chu bandit army we captured still confessed that the King of Western Chu also sent Li Zuoche, Lord Situ Guangwu of Henan Province Songshan battlefield, help your Uncle Ji to supervise the army. I remember that General Zhou Shu once told us that this Guangwu Lord Li Zuoche is also a very dangerous opponent, and it is almost impossible to succeed with him .”

Hearing that Li Zuoche, who was no less dangerous than Han Xin, had also come, Xiang Kang was not surprised, but applauded again and said, "Good opportunity, just kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of Li Zuoche and Han Xin, two troublesome opponents at the same time!"

…………

On the same day that Xiang Kang finally launched a counterattack, on the battlefield in the mountain path, the Nanyang Army once again achieved results that satisfied both Liu Laosan and Han Xin. At the cost of more than 500 casualties, they successfully killed and captured more than The 2000 soldiers of the Han army have accumulated more than a few days, and have caused more than [-] casualties to the Han army. It is no less than a victory in a medium-scale field battle. The master has an explanation - after all, this is also a powerful way to contain the Han army on the southern front, isn't it?
"Why do you think the traitors are so stupid?"

Satisfied, Liu Laosan laughed at the stupidity of the Han army in front of Han Xin and his friends in Peixian County, saying: "We know that we have to send troops to the mountain road every day, to clean up the bandits guarding the path, and to attack them every day." As soon as we left, we immediately sent troops into the small road to wait to die, so we didn’t dare to strengthen our troops, or voluntarily gave up control of the small road.”

Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and other friends from Peixian County laughed together and echoed, but Han Xin remained calm and said, "The Chinese thieves are not stupid. On the contrary, the Chinese thieves are very rational and smart. They know that the terrain in Songshan is complicated. , suitable for Surprise, once you give up the monitoring and control of the small roads, it is tantamount to tying your hands and feet and letting us fight. Only by strictly controlling every road, big or small, at any cost, will we not give us a chance to win by Surprise, and once more troops are guarded, It will also give us more opportunities to consume their troops in field battles. That’s why the traitors would rather suffer certain losses every day, and refuse to adjust the established tactics.”

"This is the best." Liu Laosan said grinningly: "Killing hundreds of bandits every day can not only stop that old man Xiang Bo's mouth, but also accumulate little to make a lot, and gradually consume the bandit forces. Breakthroughs have been made in other battlefields, and the Chinese thieves are forced to make adjustments, and it will be much easier for us to break the thieves.”

Han Xin nodded, and he was more and more glad that he followed the right person. He could not only firmly implement the tactics he proposed, but also understand and understand his tactical intentions. Such a boss is not so easy to find—Feng Zhong used to just obey Han Xinyan , but cannot comprehend Han Xin's tactical intentions by himself.

At this time, it was getting late. Seeing that Han Xin and his friends from Pei County had already finished their dinner, Liu Laosan quickly arranged the night defense work of the Nanyang Army, and then ordered to disperse the tents, and let the Nanyang Army generals return to their tents to rest .During the period, seeing Han Xin sneezed, Liu Laosan took off his cloak and put it on Han Xin forcibly, cursing and asking Han Xin to wear more clothes in the future, so that he must not get sick from the cold.

Putting on Liu Laosan's cloak and returning to his dormitory, Han Xin did not lie down to rest immediately, but sat under the oil lamp, turned on his family's "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and studied hard by the lamp, and re-read it word by word. I have already memorized the chapters by heart, looking for inspiration from them, and thinking about how to deal with the enemy in front of me.However, halfway through the reading of the Nine Changes, the soldiers suddenly entered the account and reported, saying: "General, you saw that beautiful relative before and came again, saying that there is something important, please be sure to see him again." Up side."

"No see." Han Xin ordered casually: "Tell him to leave immediately, and then tell him clearly, if you dare to come again in the future, be careful of his head."

The soldier took the order to go, but after a while, the soldier returned to the tent, held a letter in front of Han Xin, and said: "General, according to your order, the villain has given the man to Han Xin." He chased him away, but before he left, he asked the villain to bring you this letter, and he also said that it was written by King Xiang Kang of Han, so please read it."

"The letter written by Xiang Kang's traitor?" Han Xin was startled, and when he looked up subconsciously, he saw that the letter was written directly on a piece of white silk without sealing it. Now there is no way to prove whether I have read this letter."

While complaining in his heart, Han Xin hurriedly asked again: "Has anyone else read this letter?"

"Forgive me, General. General Lu Ze (Liu's third brother-in-law) went through it first." The soldier replied truthfully, and said, "When the villain went to drive that man away, it happened that General Lu Ze was beside him at night. I want to pass the letter, so I read it first."

"Traitor! You really are treacherous! You know that our king is very strict with the army. He deliberately sent someone to deliver the letter at night, and he deliberately didn't seal the letter. He made it clear that he wanted others to see the contents of the letter! Despicable To be as sinister as you are, it's the pinnacle!"

Then he cursed Xiang Kang secretly in his heart, in order to know the content of the letter, so that he would not lose his head by Xiang Kangyin in the future and still not know how he died, Han Xin had no choice but to take the letter quickly He unfolded it for a closer look, and before he finished reading the letter, Han Xin's hair stood up one by one, and he screamed in pain, "It's over! This time, even if I grow a hundred mouths, I can't speak clearly! "

The content of Xiang Kang's letter is actually not very complicated. He just told Han Xin in a big way, saying that he had received a reliable insider tip, and knew that Han Xin had written a whistleblower letter to Xiang Yu, telling Xiang Yu the truth about Hanguguan in secret, so that This provoked and slandered the relationship between Xiang Yu and Liu Laosan, and wanted to use Xiang Yu's hand to get rid of Liu Laosan and take the opportunity to replace Liu Laosan, which led Xiang Yu to send Xiang Bo to the Songshan battlefield as a supervisor, ready to kill Liu Laosan at any time. Let Han Xin succeed Liu Laosan in charge of the Nanyang army.

Then Xiang Kang said, Brother Han Xin, if you want to be the king of Nanyang, you can tell yourself earlier, as long as you, Han Xin, help me kill Liu Laosan and Gong Ao’s partial division of the Western Chu Army, I will not only make you the king of Nanyang immediately, but also The land of Yingchuan will also be sealed to you, and troops will be sent to help you take the land of Nanyang, and become the veritable King of Nanyang.But if you refuse to agree, then I'm sorry, don't blame me for sending someone to inform Liu Laosan, tell Liu Laosan directly about your betrayal and slander him, and let Liu Laosan take care of you!
With a bang, he punched the case in front of him heavily, and at the same time, Han Xin suddenly remembered the nonsensical words that Master Xiang Bo Xiang had said to him before, and immediately understood that there must be a so-called informant letter Sending it to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu believed it was true, so he suddenly sent Master Xiang Bo to the front line to supervise the army, and also hinted that he was ready to replace Liu Laosan with himself at any time! ——If Master Liu's performance cannot satisfy Master Xiang, maybe Master Xiang will really do such a thing!
Knowing that he had fallen into a trap, Han Xin had no choice but to take the letter and rush to see Liu Laosan outside the tent, but after entering the tent, Han Xin wanted to cry without tears I saw that Jiang Zhong, a small official of the Han army who had met him once, was still in Liu Laosan's sleeping tent at this moment-of course Lu Ze, the general of the Nanyang Army who led the army on duty tonight, was also beside him.

After reluctantly presenting Xiang Kang's autographed letter to Liu Laosan, Han Xin said helplessly: "My lord, I know that I have been tricked, and I also know that even if I have a hundred mouths now, I will definitely not give up." It may be clear. But I can swear to the heavens, if I really wrote some letters to the king of Western Chu and fabricated slander against you, I can ask the heavens to send down thunder and strike my servants to death!"

"Hahahahaha!" Liu Laosan laughed out loud, and said with a big laugh, "General, you don't need to swear any poisonous oaths. I don't know what kind of virtue that little traitor Xiang Kang is? Divisiveness has always been his forte! His so-called letters, let alone a sentence, is a single word, and this king will not believe it!"

After laughing loudly, Liu Laosan first helped Han Xin with his own hands, then patted Han Xin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, I definitely trust you! Don't worry, go back and rest. Let's go see Master Xiang together tomorrow, in front of him." Tell him clearly that the bullshit letter is fake, it was forged by Xiang Kang Xiaoer to frame you, ask him to destroy that bullshit letter in person! We will continue to work together to break the Han thief!"

Han Xin quickly nodded in agreement, and sincerely thanked Liu Laosan, but in his heart, Han Xin asked himself extremely worried: "The king really believes in me like that? Will he suspect that I accidentally leaked the truth?" You got wind of it, so you swore to quibble?"

Han Xin's worry was right, because he had just left, Lu Ze immediately asked Liu Laosan: "Your Majesty, do you really trust Han Xin so much? What about the bullshit, poisonous oath and sophistry?"

"Shut up! Of course this king can trust Han Xin!"

Liu Laosan scolded sharply, but in his heart, Liu Laosan had to ask himself: "Does this king really dare to trust Han Xin with confidence? This little Zhuzi is not a character who is willing to be subordinate to others. If he is really confident What about the ambition that this king replaces? If he really has this ambition, no matter whether it is Xiang Yu or Xiang Kang, they are sure to help him achieve it!"

In addition, being neither a time traveler nor a God's perspective, Liu Laosan had to consider another important question. Why did Xiang Kang deliberately drive a wedge between himself and Han Xin?Xiang Kangyuan was in Xingyang and didn't know the situation on the front line. Han Xin was only a famous general without military power in his hands. Why did Xiang Kang go to such great lengths to do such a thing?
"Could it be that Han Xin's little Zhuzi told the truth?"

At the end of the calculation, Liu Laosan had to have such doubts in his heart.Then, Liu Laosan even had such a thread in his mind-the failure of the Han army to recruit Han Xin that day was not because Han Xin was really loyal to him, but because Han Xin's ambition was far greater than the Han army imagined. At the same time, Han Xin secretly informed Xiang Yu, trying to use Xiang Yu to let him replace him as the king of Nanyang. Xiang Kang found out about this through careful investigation, and then generously satisfied Han Xin's ambition, so he sent an envoy to persuade Han Xin to surrender tonight thing……

Don't exaggerate, if Liu Laosan really felt at ease with Han Xin, he would not have stolen Han Xin's seal twice in history and forcibly deprived Han Xin of his military power.

Of course, the matter was not over yet. Early the next morning, Liu Laosan fulfilled his promise, and personally brought Han Xin and the Han army messenger Jiang Zhong to the side division camp of the Western Chu Army, and made a clear statement in front of Xiang Bo. , but Master Xiang didn't believe it at all. He also suspected that it was because he accidentally leaked the news, so Han Xin denied that he did not tell Xiang Yu the secret.In addition, Master Xiang Bo Xiang is also very concerned about one thing, that is, who leaked such a confidential event to the Han army?
Not to mention, under the coercion and lure of Master Xiang Boxiang, Jiang Zhong, a small official of the Han army who delivered the letter to Han Xin, really confessed an important piece of information, saying: "General, when our General Long wanted to send a letter to the younger one, we didn't intend to It was said in the book that it was someone close to Master Xiang Bo Xiang from the Western Chu Kingdom who gave us the news for the King of Han."

"People around the old man?!"

Master Xiang's hair also stood up, and when he subconsciously continued to press, Jiang Zhong could no longer provide any more useful information. He just said that Long Qi was someone close to Master Xiang in order to let him feel at ease. Leaked the news and told Xiang Kang about Han Xin's whistleblowing, the other dragons didn't say much, and Jiang Zhong didn't dare to ask more.And when Master Xiang looked around him with suspicious eyes, Li Zuoche, who was not a courtier of the Western Chu Army and knew the inside story, of course became the object of Master Xiang's focus!

Facing Master Xiang's suspicious eyes, Li Zuoche of course immediately understood that he was being suspected, but he had no way to refute it. Master Xiang Bo, who was as smart as a pig, was even more suspicious-this is no joke.

Finally, after much deliberation, because he suspected that Han Xin was forced to deny it, in order to protect the whistleblower, Master Xiang Bo Xiang not only did not take out the letter to confront Han Xin, but also denied the existence of the letter, Han Xin He and Liu Laosan also understood his thoughts, but they had no choice but to choose to admit Master Xiang Bo's casual explanation - all this was Xiang Kang's shameless trick, the purpose was to drive a wedge between the Western Chu Army and the Nanyang Army The close relationship made the Xichu Army and the Nanyang Army suspicious of each other, and they could no longer work together.

Of course, strictly speaking, Master Xiang's judgment is definitely not wrong. Among Xiang Kang's vicious tricks, not only Liu Laosan and Han Xin, but also the Western Chu army who wanted to use cannon fodder and those who did not want to be Cannon fodder for the Nanyang Army.

It was only on the surface that the public case was closed. Han Xin was very clear that the matter was not over, and as expected, in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Laosan called him in, had a secret talk with him, and swore oaths Said that he absolutely trusted Han Xin, but there was no other way. Master Xiang Bo, who was as smart as a pig, was still watching him. He might really replace himself with Han Xin at any time. In order to avoid accidents and unforeseen consequences, Liu Laosan It can only ask Han Xin to leave the front line temporarily and go to the rear to organize manpower to supervise the transportation of food and grass. This can not only ensure that there is no shortage of food and grass on the front line, but also protect Han Xin himself, and prevent the treacherous Han army from continuing to use Han Xin to make a fuss.

It was very clear that Liu Laosan was still not at ease with himself, and was afraid that Master Xiang would really replace him with himself. In order to prove his innocence, Han Xin accepted Liu Laosan's request frankly, left the front line that day, and returned with a rear army Go to the rear to organize manpower to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.Before leaving, Han Xin told Liu Laosan again and again, saying that there are capable men hidden in the Han army on the southern front, so Liu Laosan must be careful in using troops, don't take chances, and it is best to continue to maintain a confrontational state.

It is useless to exhort Han Xin, who just found out that Han Xin was forced to leave by his own tricks. Xiang Kang's first order was to withdraw all the soldiers of the Han army stationed in the mountain trails. Is the control of Xiaolu launching a surprise attack? This king will help you all! Without Han Xin, this king will have to take a look, who can beat this king in tactical tricks?!"
