Chapter 135 Brothers
Xin Sheng and Han Xin, generals from two eras, came together in this time and space.
The iron-blooded army that swept across the country was Xin Sheng's eternal pride. Even today, his old arms and legs do not allow him to fight again and fight thousands of miles away. For Han Xin, who has painstakingly studied military books, three
The hundreds of years of continuous war between the Qin State and the Guandong vassal states are the best true readings, and veterans like Xin Sheng are the best teachers.
Li Yuan's departure unintentionally inspired the aspirations and ambitions of two generations of generals, old and young.
One is an old man who aims at thousands of miles;
One, young and energetic, with great ambitions.
The conversation was very lively. While Han Xin analyzed the severe situation he was facing, he did not hide it. Instead, he expressed his thoughts to Xin Shenghepan.
According to the latest news from the scouts, after Liu Bang, the king of Han, learned that Li Yuan's main force was heading north, he immediately changed his previous strategy of sticking to the front line of the Weishui River. The various Han armies moved frequently, making it difficult to guess the specific movements.
What is Liu Bang going to do?
Should it be an attack or a solid defense? If it were to attack, where would it be planned to attack? Facing the Han army that was far superior in numbers, what strategy should the Qin army adopt to consolidate its existing territory? These questions came together to Han Xin
, which posed a big problem for this young captain who had suddenly risen to prominence in the Qin army.
With more than 6,600 motley troops assembled to guard a long border, Han Xin indeed felt many difficulties. Under the heavy pressure, Han Xin, a future famous general in hundreds of battles, finally broke out.
Since you can't defend, then attack.
Han Xin made an arbitrary decision based on his intuition almost as soon as he saw the Han army's intelligence. Although the Han army was powerful, when it first arrived in Guanzhong, the location, people and people were not on the Han army's side. It was the weather and the cold weather.
When the ground was frozen, large groups of troops would end up getting lost and disintegrating if they chose other paths besides attacking along the Chi Road.
From this level of analysis, it is not difficult to judge the movements of the Han army. Han Xin decided to use the captured soldiers of the Chu army as a surprise force to copy the Han army's flank and attack the Han army's fragile supply lines with a desperate determination, thus maximizing the
To weaken the momentum of the Han army's frontal attack. This army of dead soldiers also has to bear the important task of disturbing the command system of the Han army. If it can kill several Han army generals, it will be a perfect military adventure.
action.
One thousand, six hundred and seventy-three people.
These were the dead soldiers selected by Han Xin from more than 20,000 captured soldiers of the Chu army. These soldiers were not only veterans who had experienced many battles, but among them there were more than 40 warriors who had participated in the Julu War.
Times have changed.
The generals of the Chu army who once shouted for fierce fighting and were not afraid of life and death were defeated in a short period of time by a series of dazzling wealth, status and women.
Now, they are prisoners of war and need to muster up the courage to once again fight without fear of life and death. Life and death are in their hands.
In order for this adventure to be successful, Han Xin had to take the risk himself. Since he defected to Li Yuan, what he had heard the most during these days in the army was Li Yuan's military experience of rising like a comet.
Among these stories, the examples of the few defeating the many and the weak defeating the strong are the most attractive.
At the same time, as long as there is a prudent and steady general guarding Fufeng City and enough soldiers, Fufeng City will certainly be able to hold on within fifteen days.
The veteran general Xin Sheng was suspected to be the best candidate to defend the city.
"Captain Han, how certain are you that you can paralyze the Han army's supply line, and how certain are you that you can kill numerous famous generals in the Han army?" Xin Sheng stroked his white beard, his eyes full of approval.
color.
"When attacking with light troops, there is a chance of going back and forth, so how can we be sure of it? Han took over the mission boldly this time, and he had the idea of fighting desperately. If the old general thinks highly of Han, Fufeng City will be handed over to you.
, Fifteen days later, if Han does not die, we will gather again to have a drink -!" Han Xin laughed, his pair of slender eyes flashing with the endless desire to prove himself and win.
"On the 15th, okay! I'm in the city, waiting for the news of the captain's triumphant return." Xin Sheng responded loudly, with a flush of excitement on his old cheeks.
A scholar dies for the one who knows himself.
Han Xin, who was frustrated in the Chu army, did not expect that Li Yuan would be so relieved to hand over five thousand generals to his hands. At the beginning, he also paid attention to whether there were people watching, whether it was a test. Soon after
After that, he discovered that there was no need to be suspicious. In Li Yuan's army, not only he, but also other generals were talented people regardless of their origin. As long as you showed your ability, Li Yuan would definitely let you go.
, have a big fight.
That's right, go for it.
Han Xin made up his mind to use a dazzling action to prove his ability, if for no other reason than to repay Li Yuan's trust.
——.
It was not only Xin Sheng who gave Han Xin trust, but also his clan brother Han Si.
Han Xin asked for orders to stay behind, which made Han Si restless for several days. After learning that Han Xin had recruited more than a thousand prisoners of war from the Chu army from Xin Sheng, Han Si finally couldn't sit still.
"Fifth brother, do you want to personally lead the light troops to attack? You, why are you so stupid, without your life, any power, and status? Can't you wait any longer?" The night before departure, Han Si rushed to
Han Xin was sleeping in the tent, staring with red eyes, his expression showing a bit of persistence and a bit of determination.
At the beginning, he persuaded Han Xin to defect to Li Yuan, thinking that with Han Xin's talents, he would definitely have time to shine here. However, Han Xin never expected that Han Xin would take on a difficult task with a narrow escape so quickly.
Han Xin was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Fourth brother, a man should do something and not do something. Since I promised the general, I must do what I said. If I can't do it, then I will do it."
Fall in front of the enemy." The experience of being ignored and ridiculed by the Chu army taught Han Xin a profound lesson.
He didn't want to hide it from Han Si, but there were some things he had to do.
"Forget it, brothers fight, father and son go into battle. This time, I, Han Si, will risk my life and accompany you." Han Si stamped his feet fiercely and said loudly.
"Fourth brother——!" Han Xin was moved. He did not expect that Han Si, who had always been cowardly and honest in his eyes, would say such loyal words.
"Fifth brother, don't try to persuade me. Old Han, you are not the only one who is a good man. I, Han Si, am also good. Moreover, I have some good news for you. Your fourth sister-in-law is pregnant. Haha, I, Han Si, have a daughter.
