Chapter 52 After the famous general

Zhang Han believed it to be true.

He was unaware of Li Yuan's unexpected rise in Xingyang. This was not Zhang Han's confusion, but the deterrence from the new Qin Prime Minister Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao, who came to power with conspiracy, has become obsessed with power to the point of being crazy. If Zhang Han had not been able to fight, it would be useful to Zhao Gao. I am afraid that he, the general, would not be at ease. Therefore, Zhang Han attached great importance to Zhao Ben, the nephew of Zhao Gao, and immediately sent his cousin Zhang Ping to lead his troops to help.

While Zhang Ping led his army to set off, Wang Li, the Qin general of Handan, also received an emergency letter from Xingyang. Unlike the only letter sent by Bai Guangji to Jiyuan, Wang Li had two letters from Xingyang. One was a letter drafted by Chen Ping and the other was a private message, from a major underground force hidden in Xingyang City.

This force is hidden among the market and has made friends with the turbulent heroes, the people of all religions and other geniuses. During the Xingyang mutiny, it was the winner of the interests from beginning to end.

Peony Tower.

Aunt Gongsun was hidden behind the scenes in the Xingyang Incident. This is her usual style and represents her power. There is a public interest in the officialdom, and Gu Yun is beside Li Yuan. These two people are key figures in Li Yuan's instigation of the Xingyang mutiny, especially Gu Yun, who has made great efforts in the early contacts.

Handan.

The former capital of Zhao State was quite domineering, symbolizing the bloody nature of Zhao people who never gave up. The smoke of the Battle of Changping has dissipated, and a new generation of Zhao people have grown up. In this anti-Qin riot, although the Zhao people did not raise the banner first, they were the most difficult one among the princes.

From the territory of Zhao State to Guanzhong, you do not need to go through Hangu Pass. Whether you detour from the northernmost Jiuyuan or cross the river directly westward, you can directly hit the hinterland of Guanzhong of Qin State. As the grandson of Wang Jian, a famous general of Qin State, Wang Li was very proud of his family background. Wang Li always had an obsession with the Zhao people who gave the greatest resistance to Qin State in the Battle of Unification, that is, to lead the army to defeat the Zhao army again.

Changping, that was commanded by Bai Qi, and it was that battle that made Bai Qi famous for killing God. Now, Wang Li wants to prove that he is not worse than Bai Qi at all, and he has to do better.

Old Zhao's Mansion.

Several generals of the Qin border army gathered around Wang Li, with the fierce general Su Jiao, the veteran general Shejian, and Meng Hu, who was younger than Wang Li. These professional soldiers of Qin were like the generals unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, holding a sword in his hands, with a solemn expression. They were the guarantee that Qin could gallop and defeat one enemy after another. They were the purest soldiers, obeying orders, and the army immediately marched whenever they arrived.

"Major General, Xingyang is in a hurry. Our army's food supply has been cut off. The matter is urgent. I asked a army to go south to defeat the rebels." The person who asked for orders was the veteran general, Shejian, who was mainly responsible for the supply of the army's supplies, paid more attention to the changes in Xingyang than the others. If there was a problem with the supply of the 100,000 Qin troops, other generals could still refuse, and his responsibility for Shejian could not be rejected.

"Don't be anxious, please look at this letter." Wang Li waved his hand and handed the private message from Xingyang to Shujian.

After watching the scenes, Wang Li Fang Shi said in a deep voice: "According to the news in Xingyang City, the county magistrate Yang Xiong no longer controls the power of the county soldiers. The county magistrate Zhao Ben was captured and imprisoned. Now Xingyang is controlled by a man named Li Yuan. This man is very powerful and capable of fighting. I heard that Fan Kuai, the number one general under Liu Bang, died at his hands, so we must not underestimate him."

"Fan Kuai is dead!" Su Jiao exclaimed, and his strong shoulders couldn't help but thrust. Not long ago, Su Jiao's leadership fought with Fan Kuai for a fight. Although he did not give his all, Fan Kuai's courage still left a deep impression on Su Jiao.

"Since Li Yuan sent a messenger to Handan for help, he would definitely have the same action on Jiyuan. I think, at this time, the general was afraid that he had already sent troops to set out. If we send infantry to help, it would probably be faster than Jiyuan's army. Therefore, if we want to grab it, we have to let the cavalry go to the rescue." Wang Li turned his eyes to Su Jiao, the Su army was the most elite in the border army. The crossbow cavalry among them was known for their speed, and they were invincible in terms of marching speed.

"Haha, don't worry, Major General, I want to kill Fan Kuai's hero in a while." Su Jiao laughed and replied. If there is a war, he can compete with Zhang Han's reinforcements. This is what Su Jiao hopes most.

Wang Li took out a tiger talisman and said to Meng Hu, the young general who had been standing next to him and was silent, "Meng Junhou, this time General Su leads his troops, you are the deputy general, and you are responsible for the protection of the side and rear, you can understand."

Meng Hu raised his eyebrows on his childish face and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Meng Hu will protect General Su's safety."

Meng Hu, like Wang Li, was both a descendant of the famous generals of Qin. Meng Hu's grandfather Meng Wu, uncle Meng Yi and Meng Tian were all major generals in the Qin State. During the reign of Emperor Qin, the glory of the Meng family reached its highest peak. At that time, Meng Yi was the Shangqing and served by the Emperor, which was very trusted by Emperor Qin. Meng Tian was the chief general of the Qin border army, responsible for the construction of the Qin Great Wall in Shangjun and Jiuyuan.

The tragedy of the Meng family began after Emperor Qin Shihuang fell ill. Emperor Qin Shihuang inspected Guandong and fell ill in Langya. Meng Yi ordered to return to Xianyang to pray to the god of mountains and rivers that Qin had sacrificed. As a result, his departure was doomed to the turmoil of the Qin Empire. After Meng Yi left, Zhao Gao quickly became a confidant serving the Emperor. As a result, he colluded with Li Si, abandoned the prince Fusu, and supported the second emperor Hu Hai. This series of conspiracies not only led to the demise of the Qin Empire, but also caused the Meng family, who had always followed Prince Fusu, to suffer an unprecedented blow.

When Hu Hai ascended the throne, Zhao Gao immediately ordered the Qin II to kill Meng Yi, who was stationed in Daizhou. In the same year, Meng Tian, ​​who was in Shangjun, was also killed, and the Meng family's power in the court was uprooted. If Meng Hu had not been in the border army and had a low-level officer, he would probably not have escaped Zhao Gao's vicious hands.

Wang Li asked Meng Hu to go with Su Jiao, and there were two intentions. First, he had the intention of training this young man. Meng Hu's military position was too low, and the military merits were the most important among the border troops. Meng Hu could never be promoted by relying on the little achievements of his ancestors. Second, Meng Hu's identity was too sensitive. If he continued to stay with Wang Li, his goal was too great. Zhao Gao's guard against the border troops had already begun. Not long ago, a military supervisor from Xianyang arrived in Handan and began to intervene in command of military power.
