Chapter 49 1. Longqi, Hanxin and Weishui

When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were arguing in Guangwujian, their generals were also fighting in Qi State in the east. They were Han Xin and Long Qi. After Han Xin pacified Linzi, Qi Wang Tianguang fled to Gaomi, and at the same time sent someone to ask Xiang Yu for help.As the saying goes, there is no way to escape. At the time of life and death, the old hatred of the family is no longer important. The important thing is to avenge the new and the old country.So Tian Guang couldn't care that Xiang Yu once had a sworn feud with his father, and he had the cheek to defect to him. When Xiang Yu heard Tian Guang's plea for help, he also showed the spirit of acting bravely, and immediately sent Long Qie to lead an army of 200,000 to Gaomi to join Tian Guang and prepare to fight Han Xin to the death.

From Long Qi's point of view, Han Xin ran thousands of miles away, while the Qi-Chu coalition forces defended their home and country on their own land. This would be a war without suspense, and the victory would belong to him, to the 200,000 Chu soldiers! It's too early for Long Qi to be complacent. War is not a gang fight, and it is not guaranteed to be won by relying on a large number of people and standing on one's own territory.The war emphasizes that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people.Although Long Qi had the right time and place, the problem was that another person and factor might not be stronger than Han Xin. In such a fight, the outcome was really uncertain.

One of Long Qie's subordinates saw Long Qie's numbness, arrogance and ignorance. He advised Long Qie and analyzed carefully: Han Xin took advantage of the victory to advance, and he was unstoppable, and the Qi-Chu coalition forces were fighting on their own land, so they were easy to disperse. It's better to go out of the deep wall and let Tian Guang call on the people of Qi to rebel, but Han Xin has no place to stand, let alone food supply. As long as he drags him for a few months, Han Xin will definitely surrender without a fight! We should divide the reasoning of diners into two parts.First of all, it is a good idea to only talk about the fact that it is easy to escape when Qi Chu fights.Thinking about it, we can see that since the battle between Chu and Han, there has been a continuous fierce battle for four years. No matter whether it is the Han army or the Chu army, there is no soldier who does not hate war.And this time, the war happened near their hometown. If there was a fight, the first thing they thought of was not to defend their home and country, but to take the opportunity to escape and go home.

In addition, he said that Tian Guang called on Qi people to rebel and disrupt Han Xin's battle plan, which is also possible.But if you want to use this to force Han Xin to surrender without a fight, this bullshit is too much.Who is Han Xin?He was the tramp who had nothing and almost starved to death by the river. He was born as a bachelor and managed to get into the post of general. Telling him to surrender without a fight is worse than telling a dog to spit out the bones in his mouth. Much harder! However, when Long Qie heard the half-baked opinions of the disciples, instead of accepting them critically, he completely denied them.He rejected the door-keeper, not because this suggestion is not highly practical, but because he believes that the Chu army is absolutely certain to win, so there is no need to make himself such a mother-in-law and a shameful wimp.

Strange, why does Long Qi have such self-confidence? It's ridiculous to say that Long Qi's self-confidence actually comes from Han Xin's well-known stories of humiliation under the crotch.In Long Qi's view, Han Xin is not a man worth fearing at all.Isn't it like this, when a general was young, he got into such a poor situation as living in a floating mother, and even crawled under other people's crotch? So Long Qie said to his disciples: King Xiang sent me to save Qi, but he made Han Xin surrender without starting a fight, so what credit do I have?I can't wait to go to war as soon as possible, as long as I fight, I will definitely win, then King Xiang will definitely give me half of the land of Qi!

Long Qie finally said what was in his heart, he looked down on Han Xin but secondly, the more important thing was that he had long wanted to be king. Yes, Long Qi has worked so hard for Xiang Yu for so many years, so he should get a piece of land to spend his old age.But there is only one king of Qi, Han Xin wants to be the king of Qi, and you Long Qi also wants to be the king of Qi, so what should we do? It seems that it is really impossible not to fight this battle.Then we can only make an appointment like this: see or leave, the winner is king! In November, Han Xin led his army to Gaomi.There is a river outside Gaomi City, its name is Weishui.Like all moats at the time, this was an uninspired river, and its main function was to block the attacks of foreign enemies and protect the city from invasion.

But unfortunately, with the arrival of Han Xin, Weishui will not only lose all its advantages as a moat, but will also flood the whole city like a corpse river.Because what Wei Shui met was not someone else, but a general Han Xin who was born for war and also for water. There are always striking similarities in history. Like Zhang Han, Long Qi thought he was a man, but Han Xin was very weak and vulnerable.Their ideological problems are called looking at flowers in a fog, and they end up separated.Western philosophers say that one cannot step into the same river twice.Even if they don't understand Western philosophy, Lao Tzu has already written something shocking through the ages at that time. They should read Lao Tzu's dialectics and learn how to look at problems from a developmental perspective.Human beings are like a river, changing and growing every day. The Han Xin in the past is dead, and he cannot represent the current Han Xin at all.

What is Han Xin now?He is like a small stream originating from deep mountains and old forests, rushing out of ditches over mountains and ridges, and rushing towards the plains. The thunder, lightning, and wind and rain all the way made him grow and expand rapidly, and thus became a giant that swept across the world. dragon.Such a giant dragon has never been afraid of bloody challenges, and the challenges will only make it stronger! History will prove that whoever defies the dragon will be punished.Long Qi, you should hurry up and live for a few more days, and dream of King Qi a few more times, or later you will have to stay at the bottom of the water and become a water ghost.

Han Xin camped across the Weishui River, facing Long Qie in Gaomi City.On Gaomi City, flags flutter, gongs and drums blare the sky, and dragons look up against the wind, they are invincible.He looked at Han Xin's army from a distance, as if he saw a group of ants piled up at the elephant's feet, as if as long as his elephant lifted his leg, the group of ants would immediately disappear and turn into nothing. When Long Qie looked at Han Xinjun, Han Xin also looked at Long Qiejun.In Han Xin's view, this seemingly indestructible city is just like a huge cake, which will eventually be devoured and destroyed by ants.Yes, 200,000 soldiers are nothing more than 200,000 pieces of cake and rice. Didn't Chen Yu claim to be 200,000 at the beginning? So what, didn't he kill them all?

Sometimes, fighting is like treating guests to dinner. Since Han Xin is a guest from afar, let him do it first.Of course, Han Xin was not polite, he started the attack himself, but instead of attacking directly, he ordered his subordinates to collect tens of thousands of cloth bags, preparing to repeat the old trick.Long Qi, just wait and see, if you want to be Zhang Han No. 2, or Chen Yu No. 2, both can fulfill you immediately! These cloth bags collected by Han Xin were not intended to go into the city to store food, nor gold and silver treasures. Instead, he vacated a small team and assigned them a homework problem: fill the cloth bag with sand and block the Weishui for me.

We still remember that Han Xin used this method to block the downstream and force Zhang Han out of the ruined city like rats.However, this time Han Xin is not planning to irrigate the city. Not all cities can be irrigated. If so, the ancients would not be so stupid as to build the city to the mouth of the waterway and die.Now it is winter again, and the rain is not as abundant as it was in July and August when the waste hill was filled.Even in the rainy season, Han Xin didn't dare to pour water, because there are 200,000 troops lined up in Gaomi City. If they are self-defeating and drive them crazy, they will chase you and beat you even harder. A powerful tactic, the person who uses it for the first time is a genius, and the person who uses it for the second time is a mediocrity.Han Xin is a genius, so he will never use the same tactics for the second time, he changed his tactics.His move was to block the upper reaches of the Weishui River, lure the enemy to attack, and take the opportunity to release water to destroy the enemy army, catching him by surprise. Everything was ready, the upper reaches of the Weishui River were blocked to death, the two armies Chen Bing on both sides of the Weishui River, Han Xin took the initiative to attack.Long Qi has long been impatient with waiting, as long as Han Xin lets his horse cross the river, then he only needs to shout to kill, and thousands of troops will kill him with their swords. When Han Xin crossed halfway to the middle of the Wei River, Long Qi smiled triumphantly.Han Xin, thanks to your familiarity with the art of war, have you forgotten the words that grandson said, striking halfway is the magic weapon of a military strategist. So Longqie attacked the Han army in the river, and Longqie's cavalry rushed towards the sheep in Weishui like a wolf! The sheep finally couldn't resist the wolf, so Han Xin had to order the Han army to retreat.When Long Qi saw the Han army fleeing in embarrassment, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, Han Xin really deserved his reputation, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, the name of humiliation is not for nothing.The sky is the proof, and Weishui is the proof. Today, I will let you come here with a full load and return empty. Long Qie ordered the whole army to take advantage of the victory to attack Han Xin's army. The big fish is hooked! When Han Xin was about to go ashore, he waved the red flag upstream, and the upstream soldiers understood it, and immediately broke the dam.Weishui fell from the sky like a sharp long knife, slashing straight down, while the Qi army charging forward was cut in two like a long snake, and most of them were cut off on the opposite bank. Got it! The dragon was like a snake head whose tail had been cut off, suddenly lost momentum, and he was stunned.This is really a terrible trap. The legendary coward turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing! Long Qi, who had been cut off from his backup power, had no choice but to go forward.At this time, Han Xin finally took off his mask, showing a ferocious face, and then ordered the whole army to fight back against Long Qi who had lost his tail. This was a war that started with drama and ended with cruelty. After Han Xin beheaded Long Qie, he immediately crossed the Weishui River and slaughtered Chu soldiers. The Chu soldiers who had lost their snake heads were in a state of confusion and fled in all directions. Tian Guang also fled to Chengyang with the troops. Han Cheng pursued him and captured Tian Guang alive. Li Shiqi, it was Han Xin who harmed you, and it was Han Xin who avenged you. Should you cry or laugh? At this time, Guan Ying, Cao Can and other soldiers of the Han army returned victoriously, and the Han army entered Gaomi City. The entire land of Qi State was completely fell under the cavalry of the Han army. When Han Xin stood high on Gaomi City and looked at the Weishui River, the sunset cast a bleak glow at dusk, and the Weishui River was long and bloody.Han Xin thought of the Huaiyin River that was once in trouble, the Baishui River that Guanzhanghan, and the Lishui River that abandoned Chenyu.Yes, he has been with the river all his life, and he has been with each other. He fell by the river and rose by the water. His lifelong dream is to wash away the humiliation of being funded by the floating mother and his crotch. Why are those tough opponents who fight against him But no one can understand his awakened soul? Zhang Han, Chen Yu, Long Qi, rest in peace.In this brutal game of war, there is only room for one person on the road to glory as general.Now, I am about to reach the pinnacle of my life. If you are still interested in being a spectator in Tianzhiling, please watch the next game. I will achieve a complete leap from general to prince.
