Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 433 The Time Is Not Ripe
Those who save themselves, God saves them.

If it wasn't for Han Xin who was quick to see the situation, and immediately took down Liu Er, the traitor of the Nanyang Army, if he didn't meet and talk with him alone. Neither Lao San nor Kuai Che can save Han Xin. Xiang Yu, who is cruel and suspicious and likes to act impulsively, will definitely kill Han Xin on the spot just like he killed Tian An and Xiong Xin back then!
Thanks also to Han Xin's immediate response, not only was there evidence, but the traitor Liu Er was immediately handed over to Xiang Yu, Liu Laosan, Kuai Che and others had the opportunity to defend Han Xin, and immediately pointed out this to Xiang Yu. It's just Xiang Kang's shameless framing and despicable framing. The purpose is to lure Xiang Yu to kill Han Xin. Han Xin is just an innocent and poor victim—otherwise, how could Han Xin take the initiative to take down Liu Er? He should know Liu in private The purpose of the ear is right.

It is precisely because of this crucial logic, and the fact that Xiang Bo and Master Xiang did not fan the flames, that Xiang Yu dubiously accepted the explanations of Liu Laosan and Kuai Che and others, but as a matter of course, Xiang Yu soon discovered another The key situation is not right, so he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, there is still something wrong with this matter! Han Xin is just a small general who doesn't have much power, and he doesn't have many troops in his hands. Why did the traitor Xiang Kang deliberately frame him like this? Him? Even if he succeeds in tricking the king into killing Han Xin, it will have no effect at all?"

Liu Laosan and Kuai Che were completely speechless, and indeed they couldn't figure out why Xiang Kang went to such great lengths to arrange such a sinister and vicious trick to frame Han Xin, a general who didn't have much power and status. ?
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Master Xiang Bo Xiang gave a very genius answer, and said plausibly: "My lord, I am afraid that this matter is related to Han Xin's suggestion that you enter the hinterland of Yingchuan. It is because I heard that we marched into the hinterland of Yingchuan because you, Your Majesty, adopted Han Xin’s suggestion and caused huge losses to that little beast, and that little beast wanted to take revenge, so that’s why he used tricks to frame Han Xin.”

After finishing speaking, Master Xiang said with another purpose: "Also, my nephew, we should also strengthen our eyeliner against traitors. Even the outsider in Tiandu knows that our army has many traitors in our army. We can even know what happened in the camp of our Chinese army commander. Xiang Kang, that little beast, is also like a prophet. He can often know our action plan in advance and make arrangements in advance. If these hidden dangers are not eliminated, we dare not even sleep Close your eyes."

Kuai Che and Liu Laosan were of course overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly echoed Master Xiang's opinion, and they also insisted that Xiang Kang's design to frame Han Xin must be because Xiang Kang knew that the Western Chu army's invasion of the hinterland of Yingchuan came from Han Xin's suggestion , In order to retaliate against Han Xin, he did such a shameless and immoral thing. At the same time, he also thought that Xiang Yu should strengthen his internal cleaning, and don't let the Han army's eyeliner be too rampant.

Not to mention, Master Xiang's opinion is logically reasonable, and Xiang Yu has long suspected that there are many Han army spies hidden inside the Western Chu Army, which makes him often passive, so Xiang Yu not only nodded in recognition of Master Xiang He also said to Master Xiang: "Uncle Ji, I will leave this matter to you, and carefully check our internal affairs for the king, and if you find a traitor's eyeliner, you will immediately take it down and deal with it severely! "

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter is on the old minister." Master Xiang Bo agreed without hesitation, and then said proudly in his heart: "Okay, the opportunity to make a fortune has come. After taking over such an errand, it's hard for the old man not to make a lot of money." what!"

In this way, even though he still had some doubts in his heart, because there was no conclusive evidence, and because several confidants believed that Han Xin was framed, Xiang Yu let Han Xin go for the first time, and did not continue to pursue it. Liu Er, the traitor of the Nanyang Army who betrayed Han Xin, was buried alive, and the next day, Xiang Yu led the retreat in the direction of Xu County according to the original plan.At this moment, Xiang Kang had just gone to Ling Gou's to order the Han army Zheng Bu's troops to go south to the hinterland of Yingchuan to shrink the encirclement of the main force of the Western Chu army.

Because of the distance, Xiang Kang received the detailed report that the main force of the Western Chu Army had retreated to the mainland when he went north and arrived in Kunyang. In order not to mobilize the main forces in vain, and to fight for the last hope, Xiang Kang decisively ordered the army to speed up to the north, trying to catch up with the main force of the West Chu Army, slow down the retreat speed of the West Chu Army, and buy time for Zheng Bu's and Zhou Shu's troops.

It's a pity that one step is slow, the Han army is in a hurry, and the Western Chu army, who does not want to be surrounded by the Han army, retreats quickly. When Xiang Kang led the 12 Han army to chase Yingyang, which was voluntarily abandoned by the Western Chu army At that time, the main force of the Western Chu Army had also withdrawn to Xu County, and joined forces with Ding Gu's division of the Western Chu Army. Then, under the ingenious persuasion of Liu Laosan, Kuai Che and others, the army was expanded by forced conscription. The Western Chu army with more than [-] people quickly marched eastward, carrying the money, food and beautiful women looted in Xu County, and retreated to the mainland. Xiang Yu also personally led the elite troops to take up the task of the rear.

More than two days later, when Xiang Kang led his troops to Xu County, not only had the Western Chu army withdrawn to the mainland of Chen County, but also countless people in Xu County who had run out of food came face to face, crying loudly to the Han army. The brutal behavior of the Western Chu army begged Xiang Kang, who had previously announced that Yingchuan would be included in the land of Han, to show mercy and give them some food to survive. Xiang Kang had no choice but to order food from the army ration to help the people, One is to transfer grain, seeds, and cattle from Guanzhong, Aocang and other places to help restore people's livelihood in the hinterland of Yingchuan, which was looted by the Western Chu army.

While resting outside Xu County that night, Xiang Kang held a military meeting with the main civil and military officials of the Han army to discuss whether to continue the pursuit and go to the mainland of Western Chu to fight Xiang Yu to the death. The result included Zhang Liang and Chen Ping Most of the civil and military forces of the Han army believed that they should continue to pursue and strive for a decisive battle with the Western Chu army in Chenjun.

The reason why most of the civil and military forces of the Han army advocated to continue the pursuit is also very simple. One is that the Han army was forced to give up the favorable fighters on the north and south fronts for this decisive battle, and the sacrifice they paid was too great. The second is that although Chenjun is the land of Western Chu, the Han army can send grain from Ao Cang and Guanzhong to the hinterland of Chenjun in an endless stream through the Honggou route, and march into Chenjun in a large scale. Taking advantage of the momentum to take down Chen Jun will not be a waste of hard work.

The third reason is the simplest. After experiencing the Pengfeng Rebellion, the Western Chu Army is currently at the weakest and most vulnerable stage. Chu Jun will definitely only get harder.

Only Tang Bing and Lou Jing, old men from Shangshan, objected to continuing the pursuit. Lou Jing, who had a unique strategic vision, also clearly pointed out: "Your Majesty, take advantage of the momentum to enter the hinterland of Chen County. Our food and grass problem can be solved by relying on the gap, but the western Chu bandits They will definitely understand this truth, and they will definitely not stay in Chen County waiting to die, and they will definitely continue to retreat to a battlefield that is beneficial to them to fight us. At that time, our food roads will be stretched and supplies will be difficult. However, the army can supply supplies on the spot, relying on the freshly harvested autumn grain to confront us for a long time, and if there is any problem with our grain road, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable."

"Not only that, but once our Eastern Expedition fails, even if we return without success, the situation will become very unfavorable to us." Lou Jing went on to say: "First of all, of course, the enemy on the Qidi battlefield will have a chance to breathe and take advantage of it." A few people took the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Nanjun, making it more difficult for us to wipe out the remnants of the northern and southern fronts. Secondly, Zhao Guo and Nanyang we just won may be repeated, especially Zhao Guo, why did Zhao Wang and Zhao Xie surrender to us? We all know that when an opportunity arises, he may not be unable to repeat himself. Only by letting our main force on the northern front free up and return to Zhao land as soon as possible can we completely break Zhao Xie's thoughts and completely integrate Zhao's manpower for us. Material resources are used to win time for us.”

"In addition, the Western Chu bandit army has now passed the most dangerous time." Lou Jing continued: "Peng Feng's rebellion happened in summer, and now it is already winter and it will soon be the twelfth lunar month. The political center of the Western Chu bandit army has already been rebuilt, and the counties and counties must have resumed normal operation. If there is no accident, Fan Zeng, the sub-father who stayed behind in Pengcheng, must have been reorganized in the rear of Western Chu, which was not affected by Peng Feng's chaos. A large number of troops can go to the front line to participate in the battle at any time, and the enemy's troops are fighting more and more, but our food roads are getting longer and longer. We can imagine what the consequences will be in the end."

"As for Chen Jun, it's really not difficult for us to win Chen Jun now, but for a mere Chen Jun, to use our three-way main force at the same time, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Sacrificing the north and south for a Chen Jun Are we at a loss? I really want to take down Chen Jun. When the main force of the Western Chu bandit army retreats, we can do it by sending a partial division into Chen Jun. We need to use our three routes Is it the main force?"

The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the woman is right. Anyone who changes will be hesitant. Of course, Xiang Kang is no exception, but fortunately, as a time traveler, Xiang Kang's biggest advantage is that he has successful examples to copy and learn from. After recalling the general process of how Liu Laosan killed Xiang Yu in history, Xiang Kang, whose history had not yet reached the extreme level, quickly discovered that the time to destroy Chu was indeed not yet ripe.

In Xiang Kang's memory, in the historical battle between Chu and Han, when Liu Laosan launched the decisive battle to destroy Chu, first of all, except for Xiang Yu himself, all the princes of the world had either fallen to Liu Laosan or remained neutral. People help Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu is completely isolated, but Liu Laosan is completely free from worries.However, Xiang Kang has not yet achieved this. In addition to the two princes and kings of Qi who are still submitting to Xiang Yu, the Western Chu Army currently in Nanjun has a few divisions, which can somewhat pose a threat to the rear of the Han Army. .

Secondly, in history, Han Xin has completely digested Qidi, and established an armed force in Qidi that can control the situation in the world, forcing Xiang Yu to only take the initiative to ask him for peace.At the same time, Peng Yue also raised a sufficiently strong army in Liangdi, which fundamentally weakened the strength of the Western Chu Army, and also helped Liu Laosan a lot in the decisive battle between Chu and Han.So strictly speaking, Liu Laosan gathered the power of the six countries to defeat Xiang Yu's half.

Xiang Kang also failed to do this. Although Uncle Zhou, who replaced Han Xin, successfully captured Zhao and forced the surrender of Yan, he had not eliminated Tian Jia and Tian Da in Qi. At the same time, due to lack of time, the Han army also He has not had time to digest the fruits of Zhao's victory, and in fact still relies on his own manpower and material resources to fight.And Peng Yue was even worse. After Xue Jun was severely injured by Xiang Yu, he could only linger around Juye Ze, not to mention helping the Han army, and it was difficult to protect himself.

The third reason is equally critical. Xiang Yu made a foolish attack on the Sanchuan battlefield where Liu Laosan was defending heavily, and was forced to run back and forth by Peng Yue, completely exhausting his own strength. The sneak attack caught Xiang Yu and bought time for Han Xin and Peng Yue's reinforcements to encircle the Western Chu army.

These objective conditions do not exist at present. The Western Chu army still has spare power to dig, and there are follow-up reinforcements to count on. It is fighting in the local area that has just ended the autumn harvest, and it is easy to supply food and grass. More importantly, the Western Chu The army retreated to the rear in a well-prepared situation. Not only did Xiang Kang command the [-] Han army, there was no chance of attacking the Western Chu army.

After carefully recalling these important prerequisites and combining the current actual situation of the Han army, Xiang Kang finally made up his mind and said: "To be on the safe side, it is better not to chase after us. The time for us to destroy Chu is not yet ripe. We should wait until we completely After clearing out the remnants of the northern and southern fronts, digesting the results of the victory and integrating our forces, it will not be too late to launch a decisive battle to destroy Chu."

"My lord, time has been delayed for a long time, what should we do if the Western Chu bandit army has re-established a powerful army?" Long Qi asked, "At that time, won't it be more difficult for us to destroy Chu?"

"Don't worry, no matter how many troops Yafu raises for my elder brother, it won't be long before my elder brother ruins it." Xiang Kang said with a smile: "You don't know my elder brother's temper, just like ours. The gunpowder contained in the palm mine is like gunpowder, and it can be ignited with a little spark. I bet that it will not be long before my brother will make a comeback and attack us again. Without his strength, it will be easy to destroy him again."

"Take ten thousand steps back." Xiang Kang said with a smile again: "Even if my elder brother calms down and doesn't take the initiative to send troops to attack us, we only need to integrate the manpower and material resources of the five countries outside the pass, plus our mainland in the pass. With so much manpower and material resources, isn’t it possible to pile up the Western Chu bandit army completely by relying on money, food and troops?”

Seeing that Xiang Kang's decision had been made, although the civil and military forces of the Han army still felt a little regretful, they did not insist on opposing it. Xiang Kang said with a relaxed expression: "Let's discuss how to adjust our strategy and army deployment, because the Western Chu bandit army suddenly Entering the hinterland of Yingchuan, not only is it difficult for us to communicate with the rear, but the established strategies and defensive subordinates of the various armies have all been disrupted, and it is time to readjust."

In this way, because he felt that the time to destroy Chu was not ripe enough, and because it was already difficult to bite the main force of the Western Chu army, Xiang Kang decisively gave up the established plan of concentrating the three main forces to wipe out the Western Chu army, and also readjusted the Han army's strategy. In the next step of the strategic plan, it was decided to let Uncle Zhou's corps return to the northern front. While digesting the results of Zhao's victory, they were preparing to march into the territory and eliminate Tian Da and Tian Jia, the last two princes outside the pass who were still attached to the Western Chu Army.

On the central road, Zheng Bu's corps returned to Puyang to reinforce the troops and be responsible for containing the main force of the Western Chu Army. At the same time, they established contact with Peng Yue to help Peng Yue strengthen guerrilla operations in Xuejun and Dangjun, gradually encroaching on the territory of the Western Chu Army. Also try to anger Xiang Yu, lure Xiang Yu to send troops to counterattack as soon as possible, and launch an attack on the middle battlefield that is most beneficial to the Han army.

On the southern front, Ding Ji was still sent to help Li Shang and Yingbu, and was responsible for eliminating Liji and forcing Wu Rui to stand in line, completely isolating the Western Chu army.The rest of the Han army retreated to Ao Cang in Xingyang to rest and gather food, supplemented troops and allowed the main soldiers who had been fighting for a long time to rest and recover. By the way, they established a second line of defense to defend Guanzhong to prevent the Western Chu army from making a comeback. Yingchuan was handed over by Xiang Kang. Han Xin was given the responsibility.

The matter is not over yet, Xiang Kang has not forgotten to fabricate the reason why he gave up the pursuit, and decisively let the soldiers of the Han army let out the wind, saying that he was actually sick this time, and decided to withdraw when he arrived in Xu County because he couldn't hold on. treat.As a result, needless to say, after the Western Chu army reported this important situation to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu immediately remembered the letter Xiang Kang wrote to Han Xin, and suddenly realized why Xiang Kang said that the plan had changed. Immediately became suspicious of Han Xin again...

"It seems that we still have to guard against that crotch kid. To be on the safe side, it's best to find an excuse as soon as possible, and kill that guy once and for all with one sword!"

　There will be a war that is too lengthy due to other plot adjustments, please rest assured, the next Chu-Han decisive battle will definitely not be too long, there will be foreign wars, and there will be internal developments, and the traversers will definitely be older than Liu Three do better.By the way, it will be November soon, ask for the last monthly pass and recommendation ticket for this month, and also book tomorrow's monthly pass and recommendation ticket by the way.
