Chapter 20 4. Peek-a-boo tactics

The preparations for counterattacking Sanqin are ready.Liu Bang ordered Prime Minister Xiao He to stay in Guanzhong, responsible for collecting land rent from Bashu and providing food and salaries for the army. Hand over the rear to Xiao He, stabilize the people's hearts, and dispatch the war preparation materials. Liu Bang is naturally at ease. What about the front?How to attack Sanqin?It depends on Han Xin. After a long talk, Liu Bang had no doubts about Han Xin's talent.This is the strength of Liu Bang's employing people. He only looks at the real ability, not his background; and Han Xin doesn't care that Liu Bang is half a hundred years old. He believes that Liu Bang is an open-minded hero, and the sunny days are ahead.

This is called heroes don't ask where they come from, and hooligans don't look at their age. The strategy proposed by Han Xin is to attack suddenly and make a quick decision.In other words, low loss and high efficiency are required. How to surprise it?Han Xin said a classic idiom that has been passed down through the ages: Ming repairs the plank road, secretly crosses Chen Cang. What is a classic?It is when you want to deny it but can't find a sufficient reason. Han Xin's move was a sham, and he built the plank road with great fanfare. It was obvious that he was going out of Hanzhong to counterattack.Zhang Han and others must send the main force to garrison.

Feint a shot and play peek-a-boo with them, they guard against them, let's start from another forgotten road and directly kill Chen Cang. The place of Chencang was a grain transfer station established by the Qin Dynasty before.Surrounded by lush forests on all sides, the terrain is dangerous and very hidden, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are usually few defenders. Due to its secrecy, it is not easy to be discovered when the army crosses secretly. The three kings of Sanqin did not expect this at all.Zhang Han, the leader, has had a hard time since he became King Yong.He was afraid of the rebellion of the soldiers and the rebellion of the people of Sanqin.I was already living in fear, but when I heard that Liu Bang was coming to attack, the strings in my mind became even tighter.

He quickly contacted Dong Yi and Sima Xin to discuss countermeasures. The three of them studied repeatedly and reached a consensus: mobilize heavy troops, step up construction of fortifications, and resist Liu Bang's attack; at the same time, they reported to Xiang Yu and asked for support. After formulating the strategy, the next step is to wait for the Han army to fight. The sergeant reported that Liu Bang had led his army out of Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong.But waited and waited, half a month passed, but the Han army did not come. The war is coming, which is exciting, but waiting for the war to break out is an extreme test of people's nerves.

At that time, there was no drug oryzanol that regulates autonomic nerves.Zhang Han's life was like a year, and his nerves became weaker and weaker. At this moment, a news came that the Fan Kuai army had occupied Chen Cang and came from there. The sudden and ferocious attack instantly crushed the army's morale.Zhang Han rushed to the battle, resisted for a while and was defeated. Run away if you can't win.Zhang Han wanted to buy time, wait until Dong Yi and Sima Xin's reinforcements arrived, and then regroup and fight a bloody battle with the Han army. The reinforcements did come, and the two armies fought again.In a short time, Zhang Han's army was defeated again, and the troops had no fighting spirit, so they had to continue running and fled to Feiqiu.Fan Kuai's army went all out and occupied Yongdi.

The Han army continued to enter Guanzhong, and Dong Yi and Sima Xin surrendered one after another.In the entire Guanzhong, only Zhang Han's army was dying to resist.When Han Xin arrived at the front line, he ordered the Yongshui to be poured into the city. Zhang Han, who was besieged and struggling in the city, finally came to the end of his life. He drew his sword and killed himself. A generation of famous generals just disappeared from the grand and cruel stage of war, and became a symbol, embellishing the historical picture scroll of the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty.

After occupying Sanqin.Liu Bang immediately carried out governance reforms and sent generals to guard them separately. At this time, Xiang Yu was also very busy, busy suppressing the rebellion. At the beginning, Xiang Yu was entrusted to the princes, and Xiang Yu could do whatever he wanted, all according to his own preferences.Those who get entrusted are of course happy, but those who don't get enfeoffed will be brooding. Xiang Yu doesn't think so, I'm the boss, I treat you so well, let you have land and land, eat fun and be mad at social security.You are not satisfied yet.snort!I will beat anyone who is dissatisfied.

Unexpectedly, there were many dissatisfied people, and one of them was Tian Rong who took the lead in pulling a team against Qin from Qi State.This person did not get anything in the distribution.The old King of Qi, Tianshi, was renamed King Jiaodong by Xiang Yu, and the new King of Qi is Tiandu, the general of Qi. Tian Rong was very angry and led the army to attack Tiandu.Tian Du was not an opponent, so he went to Xiang Yu to complain.At the time of his complaint, Tian Rong killed Tianshi, the king of Jiaodong, and proclaimed himself king of Qi in Linzi, the capital of Qi. This matter is not over yet, at this time Qi is divided into three forces, called Sanqi.Tian Shi and Tian both occupy a piece of land, and another piece of land is in the hands of Tian An of the King of Jibei.

Xiang Yu was disgraced by Tian Rong's actions. What annoyed him even more was that Peng Yue appeared at this time. This guerrilla captain once provided Liu Bang with food and grass. Now he has become stronger and stronger, and has occupied Juye City.As a result, Xiang Yu's enfeoffment system was disrupted. Tian Rong was very happy. He used Peng Yue to attack Jibei. It doesn't matter if Xiang Yu doesn't recognize your status. I am the king of Qi and I admit it.Peng Yue had the feeling that he had found an organization and was promoted to a regular army, so he led his troops there.

A month later, Jibei fell.Tian Rong unified all three. Xiang Yu couldn't bear it, and was raped from face to authority.He immediately sent General Xiao Gongjiao to conquer Peng Yue. Xiao Gongjiao looks down on Peng Yue, a group of guerrillas who are purely chocolate beans soaked in water and want to pretend to be Blue Mountain Coffee.Hitting them is easy. There are only two results of blind arrogance, one is ridiculous, and the other is disastrous failure. Xiao Gong took both corners and returned in a big defeat. Tian Rong unified the Qi State and went to Zhao State.He united with Chen Yu of Qi State to attack Zhang Er, King of Changshan, with the purpose of unifying Qi State first, and then uniting the forces of Qi State to fight against Xiang Yu together.

Zhang Erbing was outnumbered and lost to Chen Yu, so he transferred to Liu Bang with his men and territory. Han Xin had foreseen this series of wars.The Qin Dynasty was established, and China's politics implemented totalitarian rule.What Xiang Yu pursued was totalitarianism, and what he implemented was enfeoffment, and the era of enfeoffment has long passed, not to mention such a large territory and so many princes.In the end, there will only be one king with absolute power left.This is a law independent of human will.Going against the law is against the way of heaven, and it will be a matter of time before you die. But all of this, Xiang Yu is unpredictable.His reaction was shock and anger, and the decision he made was to subdue, not subdue. Relying on force, everything depends on force, this is Xiang Yu's core idea of ​​dominating the world, full of banditry.The use of force requires sufficient intelligence to support it. Relying on force without intelligence is equivalent to a gun without bullets. It is just a fire stick, which looks scary and has limited lethality. Xiang Yu didn't care about it, and killed him with a fire stick.Before killing him, he only had one worry, that is, those princes would resist him in the name of Emperor Yi.So, in the name of discussing state affairs together, he sent someone to bring Emperor Yi back to Pengcheng from Bin County.On the way, Ying Bu and others, carrying Xiang Yu's secret order, killed Emperor Yi and threw him into the river. After killing Emperor Yi, Xiang Yu began to suppress the rebellion.Instead of attacking Liu Bang, who occupied Sanqin, he rushed to Tian Rong with all his strength.
