Chapter 94 3. Power over the world

At the beginning of the war, Han Xin raised his account. First call two unnamed generals over: "You two, hey, listen up, take this red flag, and lead your troops to move up the Weishui River, as far as possible. Go to a place far away from the battlefield, and then use sandbags to Block the Weishui, and then send people to monitor the movement downstream, when you hear people screaming, you will dig the sandbags to release the water, do you hear clearly?" At this time, the generals of the Han army admired Han Xin's military command ability immeasurably.After receiving the order, he turned around and carried out without asking.

Then Han Xin pulled out the command arrow again: "Who is that, Cao Shen, and Guan Ying, you two don't show off, where is it your turn to show off in front of me? Immediately lead the troops to the west bank of the Weishui River, find a hidden place to hide Get up. Don't come out if I win, and don't come out if I lose. Then when will you come out? When the Chu army crosses the river and the river suddenly rises, then you will rush out and wipe me out The Chu army that landed on the west bank." Cao Shen and Guan Ying were used to hearing Han Xin's thoughtless orders, knowing that they were no match for him, so they took the command arrow without saying a word, and went to find a place to ambush.

Han Xin greeted Fu Kuan, the right cavalry general again: "Old Fu, it's just the two of us, you fight with me. Listen carefully, when you win, you have to rush in front of me and kill me fiercely, and when you lose , if you want to fall behind me, don’t let the Chu army cut me down.” Fu Kuan was depressed when he heard that, what's all this mess?In a daze, he set off with Han Xin.When the Han army arrived at the Weishui River, they saw that the river was gradually getting shallower—because the upstream was blocked by the Han army with sandbags, the river became shallower and shallower.Immediately, Han Xin ordered: "Go, kill, destroy the Chu army, and victory is at hand."

Looking at the Han army rushing over on the other side, Long Qi felt so angry in his heart, thinking that you are a small Han Xin, are you really in such a hurry to get into the crotch?If you insist on drilling, then I will give you a big crotch. The Chu army rushed forward and fought with the Han army.The battle lasted for a while, and the Han army was obviously out of support. They threw away their helmets and armor and fled to the opposite bank.Long Qi looked around and said, "Look, I've said it long ago, a bitch is hypocritical, Han Xin just deserves to be beaten up, come with me, and today I'm going to kill the old den of the Han army in one fell swoop!"

The 200,000 Chu troops rushed towards the opposite bank with earth-shattering shouts.Generals Long Qie and Zhou Lan rushed to the front, followed by their troops.Seeing that half of the Chu army had already rushed to the other side, at this time there was a strange movement from the upper reaches. When I looked up, I saw a transparent water wall coming from a high altitude. The Chu army didn't even have time to scream. In the sound of the huge water impact, it was washed to pieces. A considerable number of Chu troops were swept away by the torrent, and their bones were never found.Some of the Chu troops crossing the river were at a loss, dumbfounded.The Chu army who hadn't yet crossed the river also completely lost their functional responses and were stunned.

Come on, the ambushing Han army finally mobilized, taking advantage of the panic of the Chu army, they broke into the Chu army involuntarily.Cao Shen drove straight to Long Qie and rushed over. Long Qie was about to resist, but he was surrounded by the Han army and was killed in an instant. Guan Ying of the Han army ran towards Zhou Lan, the second general of the Chu army, and rushed towards him. Zhou Lan's value was lower than that of Long Qie, so Guan Ying ordered to catch the living creatures, and the living creatures were worth some money. When the Chu army realized what had happened, the general and sub-general had been killed and captured, and all they could do was throw down their weapons and flee in all directions.

The Chu army on the other side lost its general and turned around and fled in all directions.Han Xin waited until the crest of the river had passed, then led Cao Shen Guanying to cross the river calmly, and began to chase and kill the Chu army with relish.Chased all the way to Chengyang—this place was the place where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu joined hands to slaughter the city during their honeymoon cooperation period—the Qi Wang Tian Guang was captured on the spot, and Qi Xiang Tian Guang was also taken prisoner. Cao Shen led his troops to advance to Jiaodong and easily defeated Qi Jiang Tianji.Guan Ying took the road to win and defeated Tian Heng, the last hero of Qi.

This battle made Han Xin's reputation soaring, and made him the most critical force in determining the Chu-Han War.At this time, Liu Bang's injury had recovered. He returned to Hangu Pass, cordially condolences to the elders in Guanzhong, and beheaded Sima Xin, the former King of Sai who had died in battle, and hung Sima Xin's head for public display.Liu Bang stayed in Liyang for four days, returned to Guangwu, and continued to confront the Chu army. At this time, the news of Han Xin's pacification of Qi came. At the same time, the envoy sent by Han Xin made a request to Liu Bang.

The envoy said: "Qi State is a fickle and deceitful country, and its southern border is adjacent to Chu. I request the appointment of the king of Qi as a temporary agent, and I hope it will be approved." Hearing that Han Xin wanted to become the false king of Qi, Liu Bang was furious and cursed: "I'm stuck here by Xiang Yu, I can't move forward, I can't go back, I'm waiting for you to come and help me day and night, but you want to take advantage of it?" At this time, stand as a false king... Ouch, my feet." While cursing, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping beside him came over at the same time, stepped on one of his feet, and reminded in a low voice: "The Han army is in a difficult situation now. , can you still prevent him from becoming a false king? Why don't you promise him, so that he won't be psychologically unbalanced and cause trouble."

Liu Bang's reaction was to continue cursing while listening to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's words: "He actually wants to call himself a false king, I am! King, why do you need to call yourself a false king?" So Liu Bang sent Zhang Liang to go to Qi State with a seal letter, and made Han Xin the king of Qi.The purpose is to transfer all the soldiers in Han Xin's hands to fight the Chu army. At the same time, Xiang Yu also sent Wu She, a lobbyist, to lobby Han Xin.A lobbyist battle aimed at attacking the heart started at this delicate time.
