Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 240 Han Flees ([-])

At the same time, Yingbu, who was hundreds of miles away, led [-] elite cavalry with two horses to his destination in a hurry.

After investigation, Yingbo began to choose a place to set up camp and wait for the follow-up Chu army to arrive.

"Kill!"

Long Qi's army also rushed to the east gate soon and joined the siege sequence.

With the addition of new forces, the Chu army is in full swing.In a short while, the entire East City Gate was captured, and [-] Chu troops entered Chenliu City through the East City Gate.

Chenliu County Government.

The drunken Sima Ren was shaken awake by his own soldiers, and angrily reprimanded him, "What do you want to do?"

"Captain! The east city gate was breached by the Chu army, and now the Chu army has already entered the city!" The soldiers knelt down on the ground and reported anxiously.

"What?" Sima Ren was awakened suddenly, very shocked.

"What about the other city gates?" Sima Ren asked after taking a deep breath.

"Nothing at the moment! But the Chu army is going to kill other city gates!" The soldiers replied.

"Quickly mobilize soldiers and horses, and take back the East City Gate with me! Drive the Chu army out!" Sima Ren immediately ordered to Zhao He, who was also awakened by the shaking.

"Here!" Knowing the urgency of the situation, Zhao He immediately cupped his hands and walked out.

Sima Ren put on his armor, rode on a war horse from Beidi County of Qin State, held a Zhangba Iron Spear and led a thousand light cavalry under his command, and headed for the east gate.

The Chu army was well-trained and advanced gradually in a tight formation.

Xiang Han and Lu Matong each led [-] soldiers to kill at the south and north gates of the city.On the one hand, they waited for an opportunity to seize the two city gates, and on the other hand, they blocked the Qin army who came to reinforce them.

Pu Wu led the infantry to advance step by step, Long Qie, Xue Ou, and Xiang Sheng led ten thousand cavalry to follow behind.Not only did he make up the knife to kill the surviving Qin army, but he was also responsible for defeating the formed Qin army.

Sima Ren's thousand cavalry joined the street fighting, and the Chu army's infantry could not resist.Xiang Sheng was ordered to lead a thousand cavalry of the Chu army to press on, and soon the elite cavalry of the Chu army who had been trained for many years defeated the cavalry of the Qin army.The Chu army's infantry then defeated the Qin army who came, and Qin's capital Wei Zhaohe died in battle. Sima Ren escaped from Chenliu with less than [-] Qin troops.

Outer Yellow City.

Liu Jishun bought Wang Ting with a lot of money, and Cheng Dan lost Wai Huang after cooperating with the inside and the outside.And Liu Ji won the entire Outer Yellow City without any effort, and also got part of the food, grass and military equipment of the Qin Army in the Outer Yellow City.Counting Wang Ting's subordinates, Liu Ji has more than [-] troops under his command.

In the county government, Liu Jigao took the top seat.

A group of civil and military personnel are arranged on the left and right. It is worth mentioning that although Wang Ting is the general who surrendered, he sits behind Lu Wan and ranks second among military generals.In addition to Liu Ji's completion of the deal with Wang Ting, it also meant that a thousand dollars would buy a horse's bone.

At this time, Liu Ji's civil and military officials were all in the county government, because Zhou Shi learned of Liu Ji's arrival and sent an envoy to announce the order.

"I don't know why Xiangguo sent the envoy here?" Liu Ji sat at the head, looked at the envoy of Zhou Shi who was sitting at the head of civil servants, and asked very respectfully.

"Xiangguo ordered a certain family to come here, and wanted Shan Fujun to lead troops north to Daliang. After helping each other, General Deng Zong guarded Daliang, guarding against the Guanzhong Qin army that had already reached Xingyang!" Han An, Zhou City's aide, cupped his hands and said softly.

Before entering Waihuang, Han An learned about Liu Ji's strength and knew that Liu Ji now has at least [-] to [-] troops.So I put myself more humblely, and dare not be as domineering as before.

"Then Xiangguo doesn't need our help to defeat Zhang Han?" Liu Ji asked in confusion when he heard about it.

"It's not necessary!" Han An nodded with a smile, and then said: "To tell you the truth, Father Shan, Xiangguo and General Tian Shang of Qi Guo have already negotiated the Three Kingdoms Alliance with the envoy of Chu State. Now the Chu army is already on the way to Chenliu , I believe it will arrive soon!"

"It turned out to be an alliance with the Chu State!" Hearing this, Liu Ji said with a smile on his face, although he was a little annoyed.

Although Liu Ji didn't show anything, Han An felt that the atmosphere was not right.Immediately cupped his hands and said: "The Prime Minister sent me here and said that as long as Shan Fujun is willing to lead the army to the north, then I will recommend you to the king as General Zuo, and you will be in charge of all the troops in the east of Wei State!"

"Oh!" Liu Ji looked at Han An with bright eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

Leaving aside whether Liu Ji, the soldier and horse in the eastern part of Wei State, can be in charge smoothly, the position of a left general alone is worth Liu Ji leading his troops northward.Moreover, Liu Ji didn't care if he got the army in the eastern part of the Wei State, but it was Liu Ji's wish to be able to recruit troops in the eastern part of the Wei State's control area justifiably!
"Xiangguo will never break his promise! Father Shan can rest assured!" Han An thought that Liu Ji was worried that Zhou Shi would break the contract, so he immediately made a promise. "As soon as your soldiers and horses arrive in Daliang, the king will definitely send you an imperial edict to make you General Zuo and appoint you to be in charge of all the Wei troops in the east!"

"What did the envoy say! I, Liu Ji, was recommended by the Xiangguo, and became the general and king of the Wei State. How could I doubt the Xiangguo?" Liu Ji laughed boldly, and then solemnly promised: "Please report to the Xiangguo, the envoy. , Liu Ji must lead the army to the north to help, and the general will guard the beam! Protect the king!"

"With Father Shan's words, Xiangguo will feel relieved!" Han An complimented Liu Ji immediately after Liu Ji made his statement.

"Mr. Han has won the award!" Liu Ji smiled and nodded.

"The envoy's chariots and horses are exhausted, Your Majesty should not disturb the envoy's rest!" Cao Wushang said, under Liu Ji's instruction, cupping his hands.

"That's right! It's my negligence!" Liu Ji nodded apologetically, and then said to Chen Bi: "Chen Canjun, quickly invite Mr. Han to rest at the post."

Then he turned to Han An and said, "Mr. Han will go to the post house to rest first, and I will host a banquet for Mr. Han tonight!"

"Thank you Shan Father!" Han An bowed his hands and thanked him.

Then he followed Chen Bi out of the main hall of the county government office and went to the post house.

"Why did Zhou Xiangguo order me to go north to serve as the king?" Liu Ji expressed his doubts after Han An walked away.

"Zhou Xiangguo is afraid of the lord!" Lu Wan thought for a while and said.

When Liu Ji heard this, he couldn't believe it.But after thinking about it, what Lu Wan said was not unreasonable, thinking that Deng Zong was the one who returned to Wei with Zhou Shi.However, because he was from Chu and was born as a commoner, he not only did not get the status and benefits he deserved but was also excluded everywhere after the restoration of Wei.And I didn't have an inch of merit in the Wei country, and my background was almost the same as that of Deng Zong. Now that I have an army of [-] to [-], how can Zhou Shi not be afraid?
Liu Jigang wanted Cao Wushang to come up with a plan to relieve Zhou Shi's fear, but he heard Cao Wushang say: "No way! In my opinion, this is because Xiangguo didn't want the king to compete for the credit for destroying Zhang Han. So he ordered people to come forward. Come and send the king's army to the north to serve the king, and try to lure you!"

"Why did the military commander say that?" Liu Ji asked in confusion after hearing what Cao Wushang said.

Cao Wushang smiled and said nothing, Wu Ru said: "What the military master said is exactly what Xiangguo thinks! My lord, think about it, if the Xiangguo fears you, why would you exchange the position of General Zuo and the military power in the east of Wei State with the lord? Where are you leading the troops north?"
