At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 98, The warrior’s request for help

April 36, the 4th year of the First Emperor's reign, Chen County.

It has been 10 days since Xu Fan and others set out on the expedition.

At this time, Chen County was extremely lively. A total of 5 militiamen entered Chen County for training. Every day, the sounds of these soldiers training and killing could be heard throughout the city.

But the people of Chen County did not feel noisy, but felt at ease. With so many troops stationed in the city, their safety should be guaranteed, and their invincible rebel generals had already gone to war, and the Qin army should not be able to kill them. Come to Chenjun.

People are always speculating and uneasy like this, expecting good things and denying bad results.

Go to General Guozhu's Mansion.

Zhou Zhang was in an extremely anxious mood at this time, because less than three days after Xu Fan led the army to fight, bad news came from Dang County.

Wu Chen led 5 rebels from Dang County and Li You, the governor of Sanchuan County, fought in the suburbs of Daliang. As a result, the rebel army was defeated, and Wu Chen led the remaining rebels to flee to Suiyang City. However, the situation of the rebels in Dang County did not improve. After the victory in the field battle, Li You took advantage of the victory and pursued it, leading 5 Qin soldiers to surround Suiyang City. The entire Dang County was in a precarious state, and Suiyang City might be breached at any time. Wu Chen Shao Sao could only be sent to ask Xu Fan for help.

Knowing that the war in Dang County was in danger, Zhou Zhang immediately summoned the leaders of the entire rebel army to discuss rescue matters.

Chen Xiao, who was irritated because he had to train the local soldiers during this period, couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he heard these words. He roared at Shao Sao: "You don't have the strength to fight, why are you fighting? The main force of the 50,000 Qin army even We don’t dare to fight them head-on, so where do you get the confidence to fight them in the wild?”

What kind of allies are these? I originally wanted them to be the right-hand man of the rebel army, but none of them worked. Wu Guang was like this, and the military officials are still like this. The pit of 3 Qin troops has not been filled yet, and now they have to deal with five Wan Qinjun, now he finally understands what the general said about his pig teammates.

Shao Sao said with an aggrieved face: "After we entered Wei, the Qin army was vulnerable. In less than two months, we captured dozens of cities. We thought the Qin army was not strong, so we fought with them in the field. I wanted to capture the entire Dang County, but I didn’t expect Li You to be so capable."

The defeat of Wu Chen and the others was really caused by many factors, and underestimating the enemy was the main reason.

When they received funding from Xu Fan, they led the rebel army to attack Dangjun. Heroes from all counties in Dangjun responded to the rebel army. Wu Chen and others gathered troops along the way, and the number of the rebels quickly expanded to more than 6. Wu Chen also recommended "Wu Xinjun" to the local powerful, and then Wu Chen listened to Zhang Er's advice and elected Wei Jiu, the son of Xinling Jun, as king. He As prime minister himself, with the banner of Wei Jiu, the Wei people turned to more powerful people. The number of troops in his hands exceeded , and he almost revived the entire Wei state.

The early battles went so smoothly that the military officials underestimated the strength of the Qin army. So when they heard that Li You, a scholar, led an army of 5 to support Daliang, they would not think highly of Li You. Instead, the military officials thought that annihilating the Qin army reinforcements in the wild would shake the defenders of Daliang. The morale of the army will make it easier for the rebels to conquer the beams. So Wu Chen led the main force of the rebel army to fight Li You in the field.

But Wu Chen did not expect that Li You was the governor of Sanchuan County, and the granaries of the entire Central Plains would first be gathered in Aocang of Sanchuan County. Sanchuan County was the most important county in the entire Qin Dynasty except Xianyang, with 3 standing troops stationed all year round. Now the army has expanded, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Sanchuan County is also stronger than that of other counties.

Li You led the elite division of the Qin army, and the military officials fought according to the Qin soldiers they had seen. Naturally, they were completely defeated.

Wu Chen fled for more than 400 miles and returned to Suiyang City, barely relying on city defense to stabilize the situation.

But without reinforcements, they would definitely be defeated. At this time, the military officials saw that only Xu Fan could save him, so he asked his confidant Shao Sao to come to Chen County for help. But at this time, Shao Sao was a little desperate. He already knew that Wu Guang's army that attacked Yingchuan had been wiped out. Xu Fan led 2.3 main troops to fight against Wang Li's 3 elite Qin troops. In this case, there was no spare power. Rescue them.

But no matter how desperate Shao Sao was, thinking of his brothers who still needed to be rescued, he still mustered up the courage to say: "Please consider that we are all rebels and rescue our generals, otherwise they will surely die."

Chen Xiao said angrily: "We also want to save you, and we understand the relationship between lips and teeth. But now Chen County is facing Wang Li's 3 Qin army. At this time, our rebel army has too much to take care of. There are no soldiers to rescue you. Don't look at Chen County now. There are tens of thousands of soldiers, but they are all newly recruited militiamen who don't even understand the most basic military formations. Letting them go to the battlefield will only lead to death."

Suiyang was captured by the Qin army, and Chen Jun was about to face the siege of the main force of 8 Qin troops. As long as there was some way, Chen Xiao would find a way to support the military officials, but the situation faced by the Chen Jun rebels was not much better than them.

Zhou Zhang asked: "How many soldiers do the military officials have? How much food and grass does Suiyang City have? How long can it be defended?"

Shao Sao immediately said: "Before I left, there were still 1 soldiers in Suiyang City, but they didn't have much morale. I don't know how long they can hold on. However, there are millions of stones of food in Suiyang City, which is enough for everyone to eat for several years. .”

We also had thousands of soldiers in other counties. Zhang Er and Chen Yu had 3000 soldiers in their hands. But during the battle with Li You, we were scattered. They seemed to have gone to Zhao State. "

Ji Xin said a little angrily: "It's Zhang Er and Chen Yu again. These two people are the scourge. The military ministers were defeated so miserably because they listened to their words."

Xu Fan's subordinates had a bad impression of Zhang Er and Chen Yu. They originally regarded Wu Chen as their younger brother and a member of their own power.

But the military minister had just captured a few cities in Wei and dared to call himself "Wu Xinjun". Their general was not even given the title of monarch, and was only given the title of General Shang Guozhu. Moreover, the military minister later asked Wei Jiu to become the king of Wei to win people's hearts. The plot is exactly the same as Zhang Er's original plan. The most important thing is that Wei Jiu becomes king, and the military ministers can be said to be cut off from the Chenjun rebels.

This is what Ji Xin and the others are most dissatisfied about. His younger brother is separated from himself and is placed above their big brother. Of course Ji Xin and the others will be dissatisfied. They know that Zhang Er must have encouraged Wu Chen to do this. So all the dissatisfaction was vented on Zhang Er and the others.

Zhou Zhang said calmly: "This is a good thing. Zhang Er's people are not willing to be ordinary. If they go to Zhao, they will definitely cause a big disturbance in Zhao. The Qin army will definitely send troops to suppress the two of them, which will in turn relieve our rebels." pressure."

Ji Xin thought for a while and said: "Qin Jia still has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, but I don't know if he can escape. The governor of Sishui County is very capable of fighting. The two sides are in a stalemate. Should Qin Jia give up attacking Sishui County and go north?" Support the military officials."

　Many readers said that Wang Li was not that bad. I also looked up Wang Li's record and found that he only led 30 Northern Xinjiang troops south to support Zhang Han in this battle. His army was several times larger than Xiang Yu's, but he was still defeated by Xiang Yu nine times. Nine defeats in the battle, although being defeated by Xiang Yu can be regarded as an honor.

　　But he has no other achievements. He is just a "Zhao Kuo" who defeated the 30 elite Qin army. This should not be underestimated.

　　On the contrary, it was Zhang Han. He almost re-pacified the Six Kingdoms. He only lost to Han Xin and Xiang Yu in his life, especially the one time he lost to Xiang Yu. He could have continued to hold on, but Zhao Gao gave him a plan to cut off food and assist Xiang Yu. Victory, no matter how you look at Zhang Han, this is a non-war crime.
