Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 18 Sima Xin kills the envoy, and Zhang Han's surrender is a foregone conclusion.

South Bank of Zhangshui.

A majestic military camp stands tall. Compared with the Qin army camp in Jiyuan, it is less decadent and more domineering.

The victory in the Battle of Julu and the courage to break the boat made the soldiers of the Chu army under Xiang Yu's command reach the peak of energy and spirit, which is enough to compare with the old Qin army during the first emperor's time.

This is the transformation brought about by war. Killing is always the fastest and most direct way to change a person.

……

"General, there is news from the scouts that Liu Ji led the army to force the Nanyang governor to surrender, so that he can continue to defend Nanyang and then attack Wuguan."

"Because the Qin army fought hard at Wuguan, Liu Ji's subordinates Fan Kui and Zhou Bo were enraged and massacred the city. Now they are confronting the Qin army at Gaoguan!"

……

The news brought by Long Qi changed the faces of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng slightly. They all remembered clearly that when the army went north, King Huai made an appointment with all the princes.

The first to enter Guanzhong, the king!

Xiang Yu is powerful, even if Liu Ji occupies Guanzhong, he can take it by force, but he has always been strong, and he values ​​the glory of being the first to destroy the tyrant Qin.

What's more, being the first to break through the pass, righteousness is in hand, which is more conducive to Xiang Yu's development.Besides, he restrained the main force of the Qin army in Julu, and Liu Ji picked up a ready-made one.

Let alone the irritable Xiang Yu, even anyone would not let it go.

……

"Father Ya, Liu Ji's son entered Guanzhong first, while our army was stranded in Zhangshui, what's your opinion?"

At this time, Xiang Yu was not as assertive as Gan Gang later, and he was defiant. He knew Fan Zeng was powerful, otherwise he would not call him Yafu.

The reason why he is today is all thanks to Fan Zeng's advice and advice, so Xiang Yu respects Fan Zeng very much.

……

"Major General, our army and the armies of the princes are running out of food and grass. The continuous wars have caused the soldiers to be exhausted and the horses weak. It is not suitable to fight for a long time!"

"Now that Zhang Han has nowhere to go, the old man thought that he would negotiate peace with Zhang Han and force Zhang Han to surrender. In this way, Zhang Han, an important minister of the Great Qin Empire, has come."

"Going all the way to the west, it will be determined by the news, break through Hangu Pass, and go straight to Xianyang."

……

Fan Zeng was astoundingly resourceful, definitely not inferior to Zhang Liang, and even because of his age, Fan Zeng was far sharper than Zhang Liang at the moment. These words were the best solution at the moment.

"Yafu's words are true. According to this method, Zhang Han should surrender, otherwise he will be wiped out with an army!"

A fierce light flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes. He turned to Fan Zeng and said, "Father Ya, who is the one who should be dispatched?"

Facing Xiang Yu's gaze, Fan Zeng stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Major General, the old man has ordered Chen Yu to go, and I will wait for the result."

……

"General..."

Zhang Han's eyes flickered deep, he glanced at Chen Yu, and said leisurely: "Sir, wait here, I will come when I go!"

"Please, general!"

Arching his hands, Chen Yu's mouth curled up into a smile. Judging from the change in Zhang Han's tone, he was a little more sure about Jiang Zhang Han.

Zhang Han didn't kill him, nor did he expel him, which shows that there is a lot to do!

Watching Zhang Han leave in a hurry, Chen Yu's thoughts turned to guess what happened.

……

"What's the matter?"

Standing outside the tent, Zhang Han's gaze was cold, he knew that something serious must have happened when Sima Xin was looking for him at this time.

"General, there is news from the scouts that Liu Ji's army has broken through Wuguan, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city have been slaughtered. Now the army is approaching Gaoguan, and its sword is pointing at Xianyang..."

……

"boom!"

Zhang Han's heart skipped a beat, his complexion suddenly turned pale, and for a while, he couldn't stand still, Sima Xin rushed forward and supported Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was shocked and couldn't help himself, which shocked Sima Xin and others deeply. In their opinion, this outstanding person who did not change his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, was so anxious when he heard that Wuguan was broken.

It can be seen that he is loyal to the Great Qin Empire!
……

"Chang Shi, guard the camp, the old man wants to meet Chen Yu!"

"Yes."

……

Sima Xin was overjoyed, because of his old relationship with the Xiang family, he naturally wanted Zhang Han to surrender to Xiang Yu, but he also knew that only Zhang Han could decide the fate of the 20 prisoner army.

"Chang Shi, the envoy from Xianyang has arrived and wants to meet the general!"

Hearing this, Sima Xin's expression changed, he took a deep look at the big tent, turned his head, and said: "The general has something important to do, bring him to see this general."

"Yes."

……

"Jing Dong, the envoy of Jinling Arrow, has seen Chang Shi, but he doesn't know where General Zhang Han is. His Majesty has an order to convey!"

……

"The general is dealing with military affairs, and he is in a hurry. The Great Qin Empire is at stake. The envoy can report the history first, and the old man will convey it on his behalf."

Jing Dong didn't doubt that he was there, and quickly turned to Sima Xin, saying: "Chang Shi, Your Majesty has an order to abandon all the places in the Kanto region and immediately lead the army back to Hangu Pass."

Sima Xin was shocked, took a deep look at Jing Dong, and said in a deep voice: "I know, the messenger will go down to rest first, and the old man will report to the general!"

"It's work!"

The moment Jing Dong turned around, Sima Xin wiped his neck towards the guards. Now that Zhang Han's attitude of surrender was obvious, he didn't want anyone to interrupt him.

After all, what Xiang Yu promised, Qin Ershi couldn't give it!

……

"Sir, please send a message to Xiang Yu, the old man wants to talk to him personally!"

Returning to the big tent, Zhang Han did not proceed step by step, but directly gave the bottom line. He killed Xiang Liang in Dingtao, and had revenge with Xiang Yu for killing his uncle.

It was a matter of family and life, so Zhang Han had to be cautious!

"General, I bid farewell!"

As a celebrity, Chen Yucha's observations are at the peak. He knows Zhang Han's worries and considerations. Without Xiang Yu, there is no way to talk.

……

"General, an envoy from Xianyang arrived just now, ordering the general to abandon the Kanto region and return to Hangu Pass..."

Sima Xin knew that Zhang Han couldn't hide anything that happened in the camp, and it was better to report it directly than to be discovered.

Eyelids lifted slightly, Zhang Han's eyes were full of exhaustion. He was born and died for Daqin, and regarded Daqin as his faith. Now that his faith has collapsed, he wants to betray his faith.

The bitterness in my heart is insignificant to outsiders!

"Oh, where's the messenger?"

Sima Xin bowed solemnly and remained silent for a long time, before turning to Zhang Han, he said, "General, the envoy was killed by the last general!"

"That's it! That's it!"

Waving his hand, Zhang Han said, "I understand, you go down, I'll be alone!"

Wuguan has been broken, and the gates of the Qin Empire's pass are wide open. Even if he leads the army back to Hangu Pass, let alone whether he can get rid of Xiang Yu.

By the time the army returns to the division, Liu Ji may have already defeated Xianyang and changed the dynasty.

As the young mansion of Qin State, Zhang Han knows how many soldiers and horses there are in Xianyang, and there are no generals available to compete with Liu Ji and others!
The once mighty empire has come to an end in just three years, and the beauties are twilight.

This makes Zhang Han, who has always been proud of his identity as an old Qin, feel melancholy and desolate in his heart.
