Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 209 Moved to Wei State (End)

"It turned out that General Su Jiao led his troops all the way smoothly, directly to Chenliu City, and recovered several counties! However, it was at a stalemate between Chenliucheng, Wei Guoguo Xiang Zhoushi, and General Huang Xin, and finally won the battle when the two armies lined up. Zhou Shi's procrastination plan made the army fled after being pinched by the Wei army and the Qi army!" Zhang Nan clapped his hands in remorse and confessed.

"Wouldn't this Su Jiao send scouts to investigate? Don't you know that soldiers are precious and quick, and delays will inevitably lead to changes?" Zhang Han's anger was hard to dissipate, and he felt in his heart that it was someone who had transferred Su Jiao, Zhao Gao's eyeliner. chance to go.

Originally, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, but Su Jiao did not have a heart-to-heart relationship with Zhang Han.Moreover, Zhang Han is now fighting Xiang Yu, and Su Jiao's defeat is equivalent to handing over the rear of the army to the enemy.Zhang Han decided to take this opportunity to transfer Su Jiao away from the front line, and at worst he would see Su Jiao transferred to Wang Li's tent.

"General! Xiang Yu's men are resourceful. If we ignore the Wei and Qi allied forces, our army will be surrounded by the enemy. If we don't go to Wei, defeat the Wei and Qi allied forces first, and then go south to fight against Xiang Yu. How about the burden?" Cheng Chun looked at the map, then cupped his hands and suggested to Zhang Han.

"Is there no other way?" Zhang Han asked Cheng Chun unwillingly.

"If the general is unwilling to wipe out the Kwantung rebels, then he can stay in Chenjun and continue to fight Xiang Yu. As long as Xiang Yu invites Wei and Qi to send troops, then our army will be in a situation where we will be attacked by the enemy. How can we kill the Kwantung rebels?" Annihilation? How can we talk about clearing up the world?" Cheng Chun cupped his hands and faced Zhang Han, his words hit his heart directly.

"I'm so unwilling! If it wasn't for Su Jiao, Xiang Yu and I would have really fought against each other at this time. How could I have escaped from Chen Jun in such a despondent way!" Zhang Han sighed, looking up to the sky, and said unwillingly.

"The general didn't escape, but because the situation changed temporarily!" Cheng Chun knew Zhang Han's inner depression, so he comforted him.

"Hey!" Sighing again, Zhang Han ordered: "Come here! Order Sima Xin, Dong Yi, Zhang Ling and others to slowly withdraw the troops from Chenjun, and go straight to Chenliu to attack the Wei who gathered here. Qi Lianjun. By the way, order Sima Xin to contact the people at the Black Ice Terrace, and get all the information of the generals and commanders of the Wei Qi Lianjun!"

"Here!" There were messengers entering the room, taking Zhang Han's order one by one and starting to give orders everywhere.

"Zhang Nan, go back and tell Su Jiao! Let him protect Xingyang, otherwise Ben will have his head!" Zhang Han angrily ordered Zhang Nan, and then waved: "Go back quickly!"

"Here! The young general will tell General Su!" Zhang Nan bowed his hands and retreated.

Zhang Nan quickly turned back to Xingyang, and Zhang Han's order also arrived at the front of the army.

Dong Yi and Sima Xin had a close friendship in private, although they were in command of each other's troops, they kept in touch with each other frequently.At this time, Dong Yi happened to arrive at Sima Xin's residence, and the two were discussing how to cooperate with Zhang Han and Zhao Gao in mediating, when the messenger came with orders.

Listening to the order of the messenger, Dong Yi accused very angrily: "What's wrong with the general? Why did you withdraw the troops? Could it be that Cheng Chun's plan was seen through by the enemy and he was scared out of his wits?"

Dong Yi's sudden anger made the messenger a little scared, but fortunately Sima Xin was a wise man and asked kindly, "Do you know why the general suddenly ordered us to lead the troops to withdraw from Chen Jun and go to Chen Liu?"

"I heard that General Su Jiao, who was going to destroy the Wei State, was attacked by the coalition forces of Wei and Qi in Chenliu, and the whole army was wiped out. It was inevitable that the army was attacked by the enemy. The general and Cheng Canjun decided to withdraw the army and destroy the coalition forces of Wei and Qi first." The messenger had been waiting outside Zhang Han's big tent, so he knew the truth and said it bluntly.

"Su Jiao is!" Sima Xin shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Listening to what the messenger said, Dong Yi was even more angry than he was really angry at Su Jiao. "This Su Jiao is really his grandma's rubbish, he can't even beat some mobs! I will definitely play the emperor and give him a copy!"

"Okay! Don't be like this, General Dong. Now the enemy needs to unite as one! Hurry up and go back to command the troops, and we will discuss the art of war together!" Sima Xin persuaded Dong Yi first, and then urged him Go to assemble the army and set off.

"That's all!" Although Dong Yi was reckless, he knew that Su Jiao and himself were Zhao Gao's subordinates, so he sighed and left Sima Xin's tent to return to the camp to reorganize his troops.

Overnight, all the Qin troops camped around Xiang County withdrew.This made Xiang Yu, who was preparing for a protracted war, a little confused when he heard the news the next day. After making sure that the Qin army was not luring the enemy into a counterattack, he prepared to pursue it.

Just as Xiang Yu was about to lead the cavalry in pursuit, Zhang Liang came to Xiang Yu and persuaded him, "My lord! Don't chase after the poor! Although I don't know why the Qin army retreated on its own initiative, the army will be damaged and must not be chased at will!"

"What does the military advisor think of our army?" Xiang Yu got off his horse, looked at Zhang Liang and asked calmly.

"Our army should accept the counties of Chen County step by step, and then send people to find out why the Qin army retreated before doing other things!" Zhang Liang said very sophisticatedly.

"Okay! Just listen to the military adviser! But there is a change. Let Long Qie and Ji Bu each lead 3 troops to attack the counties of Chen County. The rest of the army will follow me to Chen County and pursue the Qin army!" Xiang Yu nodded. Agree with Zhang Liang's statement, but changed a little.

Xiang Yu captured Chen County and beheaded Zhuang Jia who had defected to the enemy.After taking Chen County, Long Qie and Ji Bu also captured other cities.Chen County welcomes its third owner!
"My lord, do you really want to give up on Chen County?" Zhang Liang asked Xiang Yu, who was looking out of the city, from the city wall, "You must know that although Chen County has gone through several wars, there are still nearly a million people in one county!"

"Millions of people? I'm afraid there are only hundreds of thousands!" Xiang Yu asked himself and answered, and then said: "After discussing this Chen Jun, I decided to give it to the newly invested Wangling, and let Wangling be my A barrier to the northwest of the Xiang family. And the counties under my command have a population of nearly ten million, and there is no shortage of these 10 people!"

"My lord, don't you want to get close to Guanzhong and wipe out Tyrant Qin?" Zhang Liang asked very puzzled.

"Look at the Central Plains! Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei, the four countries are back together, and the situation is complicated. If I march forward rashly, I will definitely be coveted by the princes of various countries! It will also make the army have different minds, and it will be difficult to fight in the end." It is better to let them fight. As long as I lose to the end, I will lead the troops north to rescue them. Let them be grateful to me, and finally regard Chu as the leader of the anti-Qin alliance. Wouldn’t it be better to make orders unified? ?” Xiang Yu said slowly on the city wall, pointing to the north.
