Chapter 199
When Han Xin received the notice from Ying Gao, he was quite depressed. He originally took Shouchun first and then launched a devastating blow to the anti-Qin coalition forces in Shouchun, thus establishing his own prestige among the Qin army. This is the entire plan that Han Xin brought 20,000 troops out this time.
As a result, your young master Gao and I came out like this. Didn’t that force me to spit out half of the bones that had been eaten? That’s not all, after spitting out, the enemy will have to take them away.
In this way, how could Han Xin establish his prestige among the Qin army? Zhang Han and Wang Li didn't recognize you as the leader of Guizhou. If you win such a defeat again, you don't know how much time it will take to win back.
But is Han Xin an ordinary person? Of course not. His experience of wandering since childhood has never thought about problems from one aspect. After being depressed, he suddenly realized why Young Master Gao made him fail and not succeed?
What kind of person is Ying Gao? Han Xin has been around him for almost all these days. He is a perfect guy. Although he is about the same age as himself, no matter Zhang Han or Wang Li, the top generals in Qin, have to listen to him.
Such a crown prince must have gained a considerable prestige in front of these people.
So Han Xin came to the conclusion shortly after a while, Ying Gao must have a backup plan in this matter. There must be some reason for him to defeat himself, and the possible consequences of this reason must have brought greater victory than what he had planned before.
Otherwise, Ying Gao's urinary nature would definitely not have given up Shouchun, who had just been beaten down, in vain.
If we were in Ying Gao's era, Han Xin could only sigh that the routine of the Qin crown prince he was following was too deep, so deep that he had studied almost all formations and had not seen clearly what he wanted to do so far.
"Since my grandson has something to say, I can do it! When I was under my grandson's command, we didn't understand what the grandson sent, but in the end it was my grandson's plan that made us kill Zhou Wen, the general under Wu Guang, and then captured Wu Guang and Tian Zangsheng. This time, the grandson did not hesitate to lure him with defeat, which would definitely surprise us in the end!"
When Sima Xin learned about this, she did not feel unwilling to do so. Instead, she persuaded Han Xin to implement it according to Ying Gao's statement, Han Xin was already confident that Xiang Liang, the anti-Qin alliance, might be in trouble.
The thorn in his heart slightly melted, and Han Xin's head became lively again. He thought for a long time, thinking that if he really thought about it carefully, it would seem that it would be much harder than winning.
How did Han Xin prepare for this complete failure? Let's not talk about it for now. Chen Ying, who had been appointed to take back the commander-in-chief of Shouchun, went on to integrate all the troops of the small forces assigned to him by Xiang Liang in one place, and barely gathered 50,000 people in total.
But Chen Ying found that among these 50,000 people, except for his more than 20,000 Dongyang heroes, who were able to fight because of his daily training, almost half of the other 20,000 or 30,000 were players who had basically never been on the battlefield.
But after seeing this situation, Chen Ying's face, which had no expression, did not look disappointed. He arranged those who could not fight to transport food and grass behind him. The pioneer mainly focused on the more than 20,000 people under his command and some pretty good soldiers he picked out. He gathered about 30,000 people, and then headed towards Shouchun.
"Did you get the news? Why didn't you go to Chen County, but went to Shouchun seriously?"
When Chen Ying was first thinking about Shouchun's direction, the guard under his command rode his horse to him and asked in a low voice.
"Of course there was some news, but what I did this time was something that needed to be kept very confidential. Only I knew it. You can't believe it with you. You might as well watch me coldly. If you really think that there is a recurrence in my heart, it would be a big deal for you to kill me with one sword."
After saying this, Chen Ying continued to move forward on his own, making the guard look unhappy. He thought that if you really do something that cannot be controlled by the time, I will not be able to kill you. The guy was looking like a weird person before, and he made you look like a lump. Where did you find someone?
When Chen Ying led the 50,000 troops straight to Shouchun, Xiang Liang did not let the remaining troops wait in Xue County.
Just one day later, Xiang Liang and King Huai led the teams of Qi, Zhao and South Korea to Dang County, while Xiang Yu led most of the children of Jiangdong and some small forces such as Liu Bang to Meng County, which is also located in Dang County and is slightly northerly.
According to the plan they agreed upon, and with Chen Ying's army attacking Shouchun, he sent three troops to form a three-way encirclement against Chen County. If Ying Gao could not resist it, he would have to give up the Chen County or even Yingchuan he captured and retreat to Sanchuan County or even Hangu Pass.
This method of siege was proposed by Fan Zeng, who was nearly 70 years old in front of many leaders, and then received strong support from Zhang Er of Zhao and Zhang Liang of South Korea. In this way, this strategy was decided in just one day.
According to Fan Zeng's estimate, although their coalition forces directly confronted them would definitely not be able to defeat Ying Gao, if they were divided into multiple routes and harassed from different directions, coupled with the powerful logistics supply, as the encirclement narrowed, it would definitely make the Qin soldiers under Ying Gao's command feel exhausted.
When tens of thousands of troops of each of these two routes reached their respective destinations, Chen Ying had already reached the intersection of Sishui County and Jiujiang County, which was only a hundred miles away from Shouchun.
"Then the anti-Qin army has reached a hundred miles away? Who led the army?"
In Shouchun City, Han Xin had already learned about the news through the scouts he sent out.
"He is the leader of the anti-Qin forces in Dongyang. Judging from the banner name Chen Ying, he was not the descendant of the nobles of the six countries. But an official in the county town of Dongyang before. After the county magistrate was killed, he was elected by the people in the county, so he became the leader. The rest were all inequality forces, with a total of more than 50,000 troops. Judging from the formation of the soldiers in front of him, the formation was still neat."
