Chapter 296

"Brothers, now I will give you a difficult task to dig a 10-meter-deep ditch here and fill it with water." A general ordered the Hunxie soldiers.

The soldiers looked around in confusion and didn't understand why, a bold soldier asked: "General, what are you doing to dig a trench? Why did you suddenly dig a trench?"

The general waved his hand, and the horse whip in his hand whipped the soldier, cursing: "If you ask you to dig, you will dig. Where did you come from so much nonsense? How did I know I want to dig this trench? That's what the above said, and I'll tell you that too."

The whip was actually not strong enough, and it didn't hurt to hit the body. The soldier was even more courageous and complained: "Sir, it's not impossible for us to dig, but we don't have tools, so what can we use to dig.

We only have weapons, no hoes and other tools, and we can’t dig even if we want to.”

The general waved the soldiers again, and this time he used some strength. The soldiers suffered pain and did not dare to speak anymore. The general complained: "If there are tools, I want you to dig them. Just grab some civilians to save trouble and don't be dissatisfied."

The soldiers said together: "General, this is the truth. It's not that we don't want to dig, it's because we really don't have tools and can't dig even if we want to. General, why don't you send us to cut wood and the weapons in your hands can still deal with it."

"I think so beautifully!" The general said angrily: "If you have tools, you have to dig, and if you don't have tools, you have to dig.

Let me tell you the truth. What the above gave me was a death order. There were only two days. If I couldn’t dig a trenches in two days, I would lose my head. I would cut off your head before I could lose my head."

The soldiers were scared now, but there was still a question. One soldier asked boldly: "General, even if we dig the ditch, there is no water. There is no channel in front of us. If there is no river behind us, where can we find water?"

The general answered very simply, saying, "No water? Just pee. Damn, there are no rivers or canals within a hundred miles here, and we still have to irrigate water. I think we are gods and can call the wind and rain."

The idea that minister came up with was actually good.

However, King Hunxie was timid and did not dare to take the risk of marching for hundreds of miles to set up camp at Jinshui. He was afraid that he would be attacked by the Qin army during the march, and he would be wiped out, so he dealt with it on the spot.

But he didn't think about some of the problems in his anxiety, and his actions were too out of reality.

The soldiers had no choice but to do so, using the weapons in their hands as hoes and began to dig ditches. The general was helpless. As long as the soldiers were doing their best, they could give an explanation and left with a murmur.

After digging for a while, there was no effect at all. The soldiers were a little impatient and began to mutter: "Damn, the Qin people were born by their mother. Are we not born by their mother? Why don't we have any kind of things? Dig a lot.

It is better to set aside your posture and fight them with a war than to make this coward."

"I don't want to live anymore. If the king hears it, your head will move."

"Don't talk, dig, dig, do it first. This is impossible, I don't believe that no one dares to stand up and speak."

Dissatisfaction has spread among the soldiers.

"Report to General. King Hunxie is digging trenches and cutting trees, maybe he wants to set up a camp here." Zhang Han reported the situation to Han Xin.

Han Xin looked ahead and said, "He was scared of setting up camp."

Just digging a trenches without water, how can he stop us from rushing to his camp? Going to the edge of Jinshui is the best choice, but King Hunxie dared not go, which means he was scared of us."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "I think so too. He is afraid of being attacked by us on the road. In fact, he is still shrewd. If he is on the march now, he will have become our side dish.

It would be better for the general to launch an attack before the villages of Hunxie King and others were built.

Han Xin looked at the Ritou and said, "It is certainly a good thing to attack now, but King Hunxie spent so much effort, so we can't help but give him face. Let's wait first."

Zhang Han reminded Han Xin, saying: "General, our army is prepared but the King of Hunxie is not prepared. We will attack him now as if we are destroying him without any effort."

Han Xin smiled and said, "The truth is this truth, but we will fight now. It's too unworthy of King Hunxie. Wait for it."

Zhang Han really didn't understand why Han Xin, who had always been very smart, was confused about how he wanted to give King Hunxie to face, and said, "General, we will give him the greatest face to defeat King Hunxie.

General, you must not miss the opportunity, you will never come again."

Han Xin smiled and said, "You took it seriously. Do you really think I will give him face? That's just a joke.

Look, the soldiers in Hunxie King are everywhere, scattered around construction, and some are cutting trees in the mountains and forests. If we destroy his camp now, those soldiers in the scattered areas will not escape everywhere.

For us, we must completely wipe out the fish, and there must be no fish that misses the net."

Zhang Han suddenly realized and said, "General is smart, you should wait for King Hunxie to gather the soldiers together before attacking. May I ask, General, when is the right time to attack?" He slapped his forehead and mocked, "Look at what I asked, isn't this an obvious matter.

General, should you give your brothers a good rest while there is still some time?”

Han Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the brothers have not had a good sleep these days. They have set a warning post to let the brothers have a good sleep before talking about it."

As soon as the order was passed, the Qin army lay on the ground and soon fell asleep.

Han Xin looked at Zhang Han and said, "You can sleep too."

Zhang Han knew that Han Xin, as the commander, had to march and command the army to fight, which was even harder than him, and said, "General, you have a rest."

Han Xin nodded and said, "You go to bed for a while, and then I'll wake you up, come and go for me, and I'll go to bed again."

"This..." Zhang Han was not very willing, and Han Xin said: "Get up your spirits, you have to take the lead." Zhang Han had no choice but to say: "Abide by the order." Lying on the ground, he fell asleep soon.

In the evening, Hunxie soldiers returned to the camp and prepared to have dinner and rest. Unexpectedly, Hunxie King was very careful and asked them to have dinner to build a village and dig a trench. Although the soldiers were unwilling to do so, they had to carry out the implementation.

It is said that the heavens fulfill their wishes. King Hunxie, the order that violated the soldiers' wishes, was destined to be impossible to implement, because just as the soldiers were surrounding the fire and preparing for supper, a shocking sound of hooves sounded, and the Qin army came over under Han Xin's command.
