Chapter 144: The Death of Li Sheng
Zhang Ping followed the order.
Zhang Ping, who had been frustrated by Feng Yi, agreed from the bottom of his heart to defecting to Li Yuan. In the past, Li Yuan was trapped in Xingyang and was besieged by Liu Bang's allied forces. It was Zhang Ping who went to rescue him. Unfortunately, Zhang Ping left.
Halfway through, Xiang Yu's Chu army blocked the way, and ultimately failed to rush to rescue.
That miss has always made Zhang Ping extremely regretful. Whenever he thinks of his family's downtrodden situation, Zhang Ping wishes he could turn back time and wish he could have wings so that he could fly to Xingyang.
This is not to say that Zhang Ping has feelings for Li Yuan, but an obsession in Zhang Ping's heart. Li Yuanjun's rapid rise forms a very sharp contrast with Zhang Han's decline. Zhang Ping just fantasizes about having some intersection with Li Yuanjun.
, let yourself get some benefits.
Now, Chen Ping is here.
This was the last chance, Zhang Han realized it, and Zhang Ping also saw it clearly.
The Han envoy Li Shiqi has been staying in Zhang Han's army for two main reasons. One is surveillance. The military report that the Han army Zhou Hui and other troops were attacked made Liu Bang suspicious. Although the possibility of Zhang Han's use of troops was basically ruled out.
However, the existence of Zhang Han's army is always a hidden danger of instability; the second is persuasion, the encirclement and suppression operation is being carried out, Liu Bang has instructed Li Shiqi to lobby Zhang Han to jointly send troops, however, Zhang Han has been hesitant. The supply of food and fodder is insufficient.
Most of the soldiers were Qin people from Guanzhong. This time they wanted to unite Liu Bang's forces composed of people from Guandong to deal with the Qin army. Zhang Han's soldiers had no enthusiasm at all.
For Li Shiqi, wine is the most beloved thing in his life, and nothing can replace it. Li Shiqi never dreamed that Zhang Han, who entertained her with good wine and delicious food, would suddenly kill a murderer. When Zhang Ping led him
When the soldiers rushed into his sleeping tent, this Gaoyang drunkard was still drunk.
"Zhang Ping, what are you doing, being so impudent in front of the dignified envoys of the King of Han?" Li Shiqi cursed as he was drunk. In the haze, he only saw Zhang Ping rushing into the tent with a group of soldiers.
"Haha, old man Li, your end has come. This time next year will be the anniversary of your death. Remember it!" Zhang Ping sneered and commanded his generals to surround Li Shiqi.
"You, you dare to kill the Han envoys without permission. Aren't you afraid that the Han king's army will attack and destroy Xiaohua Mountain? No, I want to see King Yong and make it clear." Li Shiqi was frightened by Zhang Ping, and he woke up from the wine and became conscious.
Feeling the danger, he began to struggle to his death.
"My eldest brother is currently receiving the envoys of the Qin Dynasty. I don't have time to see you." Zhang Ping smiled ferociously, watching the once arrogant Li Sheqi become desperate step by step. This gave Zhang Ping an indescribable feeling of pleasure in his heart.
"Messenger of the State of Qin. No wonder you want to kill me, haha - Zhang Ping, do you think that a villain who is erratic will be reused by Li Yuan?" Li Shiqi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
at this point.
Today's Xiaohua Mountain is the last place where Li Shiqi lobbied throughout his life. Before his death, Li Shiqi had not given up. He was still trying to create disharmonious factors between Zhang Han and Li Yuan.
"You don't need to worry about this, sir. Come and send me on my way!" Zhang Ping felt a dull pain in his heart when Li Shiqi said this, and he suddenly became ashamed and angry.
He originally wanted to humiliate Li Shiqi again, but instead he was persuaded by Li Shiqi, which made Zhang Ping feel even more unhappy.
A group of soldiers rushed forward with their orders.
"King of Han, King of Han——!" Li Shiqi howled in despair.
"Porphyrin!"
The sword penetrated the rotten body. Li Shiqi, an old Confucian scholar, had long been drained of his body by wine and sex. How could he stand up to the tiger-like soldiers? Li Shiqi lost his life almost as soon as Zhang Ping turned around.
Historically, Li Shiqi's final fate was similar. He was cooked to death while lobbying King Tian Guang of Qi. He died at the age of sixty-five.
This time, although Li Shiqi died two years early, he was not cooked into broth. This may be a blessing among the misfortunes. The death of this old Confucian scholar who contributed greatly to Liu Bang's great cause caused a shock and aftermath.
In the following years, it became particularly obvious.
Li Sheng's head was then carried by soldiers and sent to Chen Ping in the rear camp. When Li Sheng's head was presented with an angry look, Zhang Han couldn't help but shudder.
Survival in troubled times.
It's really not easy. Li Shiqi's today may not be Zhang Han's tomorrow. In this era of the weak and the strong, if you want to avoid being eaten, you must become stronger.
Zhang Han's troops descended from Xiaohua Mountain.
Under Chen Ping's instruction, Zhang Han's banner was still that of Yong's army. As long as Li Sheng's death was not reported to Liu Bang, Zhang Han's army would have the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.
——.
Chongda, Ding Fu and Zhu Juan led their troops to attack Wugong Mountain.
Chong Da's army is on the front, Ding Fu is on the left, and Zhu Juan is on the right. The three Han armies are in a "pin" shape, blocking Han Xin's possible room for maneuver. The only way to retreat to the rear may also be outflanked and cut off by the Han army.
Under this situation, if Han Xin's army delays again, the result can only be that the entire army will be annihilated.
Han Xin led a small army of dead soldiers to deal with the Han army in the mountainous area, which was several times larger than his own. One team after another of his generals was missing, and the area around the imperial mausoleum was gradually exposed to the Han army's sight. Facing Chongda
Waiting for three Han generals who are not very famous in history, Han Xin showed extraordinary courage and resourcefulness. He only relied on a light army of less than a thousand people to hold back nearly 10,000 Han troops for nearly three days.
January 4th, the third year of the Qin Dynasty.
Imperial Mausoleum.
On the last day of the fifteen-day period agreed with Li Yuan, the morning light climbed up to the top of the forest, and a Qin army flag with the word "Han" appeared on the mountainside. The military lord Han Si and more than 200 dead soldiers dragged the exhausted soldiers.
The body, stepping on the creaking dead branches, struggled down the mountain from the top of the mountain.
These two hundred light soldiers are Han Si's direct subordinates. After many fierce battles, these former Chu soldiers and Han Si and other Qin army generals have developed a tacit understanding and trust. For them, death is a long time ago.
Be prepared. In the past few days, the number of soldiers killed in their hands has been several times that of our own. Even if you die in battle, it is still worth it.
Moreover, before the expedition, the army Sima had already recorded their names. As long as they did not desert, whether they returned alive or died on the battlefield, the compatriots who stayed in Yongqi would be well settled. With the growing sense of belonging,
Strengthening, Li Yuan's series of measures in caring for military families also pleased these young soldiers.
"Brothers, raise the flag and attack the Han army!" Han Si shouted loudly, with a look of determination on his face.
This was a counterattack that exposed his tracks and fought to the death. Han Si did not get the approval of the captain Han Xin. In fact, Han Si and Han Xin were separated as early as two days ago. Under the continuous encirclement and suppression by the Han army, like Zheng Da
There were only a few such low-level officers left, so Han Xin had no choice but to take risks, and each led one of Han Xin's troops to fight in the mountains.
Use this last bit of strength to attract more Han troops and create opportunities for Han Xin to escape from the encirclement. This is the only thing Han Si can do. He believes that with Han Xin's wisdom, he will be able to guess what he did.
