Nanyang County in May.

The plants and trees are crazily absorbing nutrients, trying to give themselves the upper hand in the survival competition in the new year and suppress their peers who have grown in the same type.

This is true for plants and trees, and so is humans.

This spring and summer.

The name Han Xin became loud in the Central Plains. Of course, the person who represented him would not be Han Wangxin who was in a mess and fled to Yingchuan. The person who represented him was the young man who was willing to be humiliated under his crotch in his hometown of Huaiyin.

attack.

Use invincible momentum to defeat all opponents who dare to fight against each other.

After wandering among many princes, Han Xin finally found an opportunity to prove himself in Qin State. The one who gave him this opportunity was not someone else, but the same young Marquis of Shenwu Li Yuan.

Become famous in one battle.

The brilliant achievements of the Qin army made Han Xin, a little-known little man, suddenly attracted all the great princes.

"How could such a talent come to Qin?"

"I heard that Han Xin was still a Chu man, so why did he not distinguish between right and wrong? He did not come to the Chu army and the Han army to serve, but he would become a general of the tyrannical Qin."

"Stop telling jokes. Han Xin can only be a doctor with a halberd under the command of the Overlord at best. If it weren't for the Shenwu Marquis of Qin, how could he become famous all over the world?"

Such discussions occurred in Yingdu, Pengcheng, Handan, Xiping and other places. Even in the opposite Wancheng City, the Han army was also whispering.

Outside Wancheng City.

The Qin army camped at the West Gate. What is very interesting is that the camp site chosen by Li Yuan and Han Xin was the camp abandoned by Han Wangxin and Liu Jia not long ago.

After nearly a year of separation, Li Yuan and Han Xin gathered again. The gathering place was still outside the enemy's city. Such changes seemed to indicate that the strategic situation of Qin had changed from defense to attack.

The rising sun is rising.

When the first ray of sunshine on May 1st shone through the tents and through the water surface of the water, the Qin army soldiers began to bury the pot to make rice.

The smoke rises.

It floats unsteadily, but it is getting more and more densely.

"Herod's rule!" The high-pitched neighing of the war horse sounded. Immediately, the long neighing of the strong horse made the entire west gate of Wancheng boil.

Battle timing.

Li Yuan rode on a fiery red war horse. This sweaty horse from the Western Regions sold by Hu merchants to Chang'an. After trekking through thousands of mountains and rivers, he finally found his real owner.

Beside Li Yuan was Han Xin, who was a white horse and silver halberd. As a commander-level general who rushed up like a rocket in the Qin army. Han Xin swept away the gloom when he was unhappy. His face, which had just grown a thick beard, was full of confidence and calmness.

Feng Xuan, Su Jiao, Meng Hu, Zhang Ping, Cao Xin———the generals of the Qin army all surrounded him and followed Li Yuan to check the terrain around Wancheng without covering it. There is no need to worry that the Han army would suddenly kill the generals. The reason is very simple. The Qin army is now clear about the situation of the Han army in Wancheng.

Not only was there an intermittent investigation, but also a Han general like Chen, who knew the Han army's background in detail and the bottom line.

"Wuhou, Zhou Bo from Wancheng is Liu Bang's loyalty. If he insists on not surrendering, our army will forcibly attack the city for a long time. The last general has sent the surrendered general to sneak into the city the day before yesterday. If he can lobby for Chen Xi, the commander of Wancheng County, the war in Nanyang County can basically end." Han Xin urged his horse and Li Yuan to walk side by side, while looking at the towering city walls, reporting to Li Yuan about the battle situation of the Qin army on the southern front.

"Is Chen Xi right? General Han wants to lobby this person to surrender, so he needs another fire. Two days later, on the night of the moon, he ordered his soldiers to tie up letters and shoot them into the city. The letter said: Chen Xi intended to surrender to our Daqin, and has sent people to negotiate in the camp outside the city. We are waiting for the internal conflict between the Han generals in the city. How about it?" Li Yuan laughed and said.

Only fighting is the best, attacking the heart is the best, and attacking the city is the best.

Han Xin's strategy of dividing and disintegrating the Han army in Wancheng City made Li Yuan very agree that a mature general should not only use one method to deal with the enemy. Han Xin's innate talent for warriors allowed him to take the best approach as soon as possible.

Chen Xi.

This name is Li Yuan’s original impression.

In historical records, Chen Xi was very famous in the early Han Dynasty. Later, because of the jealousy of Liu Bang's trusted minister Zhou Chang, he gradually became a rebel general who resisted Liu Bang and proclaimed himself king.

In fact, the reason why Liu Bang lost to the Huns in Baidengshan in the early Han Dynasty was that in addition to the weakening of the national strength of Chu and Han's successive wars, Chen Xi, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, the generals with stars were killed one after another under Liu Bang's suspicion. Let me ask: Under such a massacre, the generals who made great achievements in the battle with Xiang Yu's Chu army were killed and demoted one by one, and the only ones left were only those who could only flatter and flatter. How could Liu Bang beat Maodun?

——.

The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.

Zhou Bo's order to withdraw Wancheng within three days was like the last straw that crushed the camel. As soon as the Han army from all walks of life received the order, they hurriedly shook their arms and ran towards Wancheng.

escape.

The farther away from the Qin people who killed people without blinking, the better. This is the call of the Han generals and generals who experienced the disastrous defeat in Guanzhong. In the past, without general orders, they could only hold on with no hope. Now, even if they were short of soldiers and generals when they ran to Wancheng, they had nothing, and I believe Zhou Bo could not say anything.

Compared with the old soldiers in the Han army, some young Han generals who were newly joined and promoted had a much slower reaction, and this kind of slowness quickly turned into a life-threatening mistake.

Ye County.

Located in the southeast corner of Nanyang County, Chen, the Han general stationed in this small town, looked at the Qin army generals passing by him, and felt bitter in his heart.

A group of sheep and a group of wolves meet, and the result is conceivable.

He just wanted to bring more money he had plundered from the Ye County term, but was surrounded by Feng Xuan's Qin army first. Faced with the Qin army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, Chen Chu was both despaired and did not even have symbolic resistance. He simply led more than a thousand subordinates to surrender.

Chen Chu's surrender was just one of the many Han army generals. But soon, Chen Chu was under Feng Xuan's command and found an opportunity to display his abilities.

Be the pioneer of being a pioneer and lobby one colleague after another.

This is the way that Chu Chen found for himself to surrender to the Qin army and quickly gain reuse and promotion.

April 29, the fourth year of the Xinli period of Qin Dynasty.

The Qin army from the north and south met like a bamboo shoot under Wancheng City, and surrounded about 40,000 Han troops in Wancheng City. Under the continuous pursuit of the Qin army, nearly 10,000 retreating Han troops collapsed and disappeared.

Wancheng.

Zhou Bo's shortage of generals was due to the escape of Liu Fei, Liu Jia, Han Wangxin and other generals. On the other hand, the Han army suffered heavy losses due to the continuous pursuit of the Qin army.

Zhou Bo suffered from typhoid fever due to anger and anger. Although he was treated by a doctor, he was still good or bad. With internal and external troubles, Chen Feng, the only Han general who stood firmly on Zhou Bo's side, was promoted and valued by Zhou Bo and was appointed as the commander of Wancheng County.

These days, Zhou Boyi has given Chen Xi more affairs and given him more trust, including the most important command of the defenders at the two city gates of the West Gate and the South Gate.

For Chen Xi, who is used to being pampered, a large number of affairs is really a heavy burden. If it weren't for his brothers Zhang Chun, Manqiuchen, Wang Huang and others who were supporting him, Chen Xi would have collapsed early.

A handsome young man in Wancheng.

Chen Xu, who was just thirty, had a pair of peach-blossom eyes, and a handsome face and tall figure, which was very popular among women. However, before he became famous, Chen Xu was just a gangster wandering in Nanyang County at best. In the storm of the princes' anti-Qin, Chen Xu had a unique vision. He did not join Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising team from the beginning, but quietly pulled a group of brothers to work alone.

Working alone undoubtedly requires luck.

Fortunately, Chen Xi has always been very low-key, and the Qin army in Nanyang County did not use Chen Xi as an opponent who took the opportunity to make a fortune. After becoming a general of the Han army, Chen Xi began to make a living in Wancheng. Not only did he own a whole magnificent mansion, but he also raised four beautiful concubines.

Chen Xi fought for all this for half his life.

How can you give up just by saying that you give up?

However, the repeated retreats over the past ten days have shattered Chen Xi's former confidence. The Han army and Qin army are really not rivals on the same level.

Cavalry is the thunder hammer on the battlefield.

In terms of cavalry construction, the Han army had less than 500 war horses, and it was impossible to form any scale and combat effectiveness. In comparison, the Qin army had as many as 6 or 7,000 elite cavalry units. The horse harnesses of these cavalrymen were tall and strong horses stored on the Hetao and Longxi grasslands, which were completely different from the so-called cavalrymen adapted from the Central Plains that were temporarily pulled by inferior horses.

For other branches of troops, the Qin army also has Ba people who are good at fighting in mountains and hills, and Yuezhi heavy infantry units who are good at bows and arrows and huge forces. What is the Han army? A bunch of young and strong people who are rushed in.

Could it be that he really wanted to be destroyed in this city with Zhou Bo? On the night of the Qin army besieging the city, Chen Xi leaned tiredly on the brocade couch, his eyes were dissipated and thought nonsense, and even the most beloved Mei Ji was bombarded aside by him.

Promotion on the front line.

Greater power, more responsibility.

If other princes were replaced to siege the city, Chen Xi would not be afraid at all. The walls of Wancheng were piled up with bluestones, which were quite solid. A few years ago, Chen Sheng sent Deng Shuo as the general of the Southern Expedition and led more than 50,000 rebels to attack Wancheng, but after a full year of fighting, he could not take down the city.

"But, this time, can Wancheng really stop the Qin army?"

Many Han troops were defeated. Judging from the returns of the defeated soldiers, even the elite soldiers and generals in Chen Xi's eyes had not been defended for three days under the Qin army's attack of sweeping away leaves.

During the day, after climbing the city tower and seeing the boundless Qin army camp, Chen Feng was shocked in his heart.
