Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 265 Han Guang's Death

That night, Zang Tu made it clear to Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi that he wanted to take Han Guang and replace him.

Although Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi were surprised, they also expressed their dislike for Han Guang's waste of money and money.Dang even expressed his willingness to follow Zang Tu and plan things together.

The next day, Lin Shu, Gongsun Shi, and Shi Dayuan were escorted by Zang Tu to return to their respective camps.

Yan Palace.

Yan Hai and Zhang Zhen went to the hall together, explaining to Han Guang that the three generals did not rebel but were framed by local officials.

"I didn't expect it! Among the officials of the widow, there will be someone who framed others in order to get promoted. It really makes me sad!" After listening to Yan Hai's story, Han Guang said heartbrokenly.

Yan Hai and Zhang Zhen immediately comforted Han Guang, and then told Han Guang about Zhao Guo's reception of Chu's envoys.

"Then can you find out why the envoys from Chu State came to Zhao State?" Han Guang was very interested.

"It is said that the envoys of Chu State were to win Zhao State into the anti-Qin alliance led by Chu State. Now Wei State and South Korean son Han Guang have joined the Anti-Qin Alliance, and Qi State has also sent the doctor Yan Yun and General Tian Let’s go together to welcome Li Shiqi, the envoy of Chu State who has entered Qi!" Yan Hai clasped his hands in reply.

"Has the state of Chu sent envoys?" Hearing that both Zhao and Qi had envoys from the state of Chu, Han Guang asked impatiently.

Although the current Han Guang's throne is recognized by the State of Zhao, Qi State, another country bordering it to the south, does not recognize the legitimacy of Han Guang's throne.This made Han Guang's bones stick in his throat. He urgently needed the state of Chu, which was the most powerful country in the Kanto region, to recognize its throne.

"There is no news of Chu's envoy coming to Yan!" Yan Hai and Zhang Zhen looked at each other, then clasped their hands and replied.

"Xiang's son!" Hearing this, Han Guang was furious.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Zhang Zhen immediately dissuaded Han Guang from scolding Xiang Yu angrily. "I heard that Chu's spies have penetrated into all countries. If the king's attitude towards Chu's generals is detected by these spies and sent back to Chu, there is no guarantee that Chu will not gather troops from Zhao, Wei, and Qi to attack my Yan!"

"Hmph!" Han Guang looked around after hearing this, and then snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Yan Hai bowed his hands together with Zhang Zhen to resign, and then left the hall.

Outside the hall, Yan Hai and Zhang Zhen met Han Yan who came to meet Han Guang.

"Xiangguo! Go to the doctor!"

"General Han!"

After the three of them greeted each other, they went forward separately.

After a long distance, Zhang Zhen whispered to Yan Hai: "Xiangguo, this cold soldier is a brave general! And this person can't be won over, why don't you..." As he spoke, Zhang Zhen made a move. Made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"This person is Han Guang's most trusted person, and there is no way to move him! Your Majesty's opinion is to see if you can recruit him for your own use after Han Guang's death!" Yan Hai looked around and said in a low voice.

"When is your majesty going to do it?" Nodding his head, Zhang Zhen asked curiously.

"The time is not far away!" Yan Hai didn't answer, but turned around and looked at the main hall of King Yan Palace in the distance and said with emotion.

Seeing that Yan Hai didn't say anything, Zhang Zhen didn't ask any more questions and followed Yan Hai out of the palace.

Dongjun, Dingtao City.

Zhang Liang led Yingbu, Xiang Tuo, Fu Kuan and other generals to lead [-] troops to fight against Zhang Han, and defeated the Qin army several times relying on Zhang Liang's exhaustive strategy.In the end, the Qin army led by Zhang Han was forced into Dingtao City.

In the camp of the Chu army, Xiang Yu listened to the reports of Zhang Liang and Ying Bu.

Since Zhang Han was forced into Dingtao City, Xiang Yu rushed to Dingtao with Guan Ying, Ge Ying, Lu Matong, Gongwei, Fan Kuai and [-] Jingqi Xingye.

At this time, there were already as many as 15 Chu troops besieging the city, many of whom were from the Six Kingdoms who had surrendered to the Qin army.After many battles, the Qin army in the city has less than [-] troops, but they are all old Qin people from Guanzhong.

The arrival of 5 fine cavalry from the Chu army deterred the Qin army who was thinking of breaking through, and also suppressed more than [-] Qin prisoners in the Chu army camp.

"How long can the grain and grass in Dingtao City last?" Xiang Yu asked directly after hearing Zhang Liang's report.

"The food and grass in the city can only support the [-] Qin army for three months, but if you add the people in the city, it will only be enough for ten days!" Zhang Liang clasped his hands back.

"Okay!" Xiang Yu clapped his hands and laughed happily, then stood up and looked at Dingtao and said, "I don't believe that Zhang Han will slaughter the city, so Zhang Han will definitely complain to me because of the people and soldiers in the city." surrender!"

Zhang Liang laughed and said nothing, while Ying Bu nodded in agreement.

After fighting several times, Yingbo admired Zhang Han very much.No matter how critical the situation is, Zhang Han will do his best to rescue the wounded soldiers.Moreover, the Qin army was short of food and grass, but it did not send people to collect food from ordinary people, but borrowed food from the wealthy and wealthy merchants in the city.

Yingbu asked himself that in Zhang Han's situation, he would never be able to restrain the soldiers like Zhang Han.Therefore, Ying Bu agreed very much after knowing that Xiang Yu intended to take Zhang Han under him.

"If Zhang Han surrenders, he won't be sincere. My lord has to find a way to accept Zhang Han's heart!" After a while, Zhang Liang suddenly thought of something and said to Xiang Yu.

"It doesn't matter! When the time comes, I will naturally convince Zhang Han!" Xiang Yu waved his hand very confidently.

The next day, Xiang Yu sent envoys into Dingtao.

"Why is the Chu envoy here?" Zhang Han received the Chu envoy.

On the side, Sima Xin, Dong Yi, and Zhang Pingping will line up on the left and right, demonstrating the prestige of the Qin army.

"According to the order of my lord, General Xiang Yu, come to challenge the general!" The envoy replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Appointment to fight?" Zhang Han was very puzzled, and then laughed and scolded: "My Qin army is besieged by you in Dingtao City. If you want to make an appointment to fight, just come and attack! Why send you here?"

"My lord said that the appointment of a battle is to order the general to attract five thousand elite soldiers. My lord also ordered such a large number of troops. The two sides will fight outside the city to determine the outcome. If the general wins, our army will withdraw. If the general loses, we must return. Our army!" The messenger slowly said Xiang Yu's decision.

After hearing what the envoy said, Zhang Han was a little moved but very suspicious.

The envoy naturally saw Zhang Han's concerns, and Dang even continued: "Of course, when the general and our lord are at war, the sergeants of both sides must not intervene. There are only 5000 troops from the general and 5000 from the lord on the battlefield. If either side dares to send troops It's a loss!"

"Okay! The general agrees!" Zhang Han immediately patted the table and agreed.

"General!" Sima Xin and the other generals at the side wanted to say something.

"Don't say any more! The generals only need to obey the order of this general!" Zhang Han waved his hands, speaking resolutely.

After the envoy bowed his hand, he said goodbye directly and left Dingtao City.

After Xiang Yu knew that Zhang Han had accepted the letter of war, he began to select 5000 of the most valiant infantry from the army to cooperate with [-] elite cavalry to form a [-]-man combat force.
