Chapter 202
So, a lot of things happened in Shouchun that night.
First, Chen Ying, the king of Sui in the anti-Qin alliance, led a 50,000 army to use strategies to attract the defenders to lead the troops to fight, and attracted the defenders dozens of miles outside the city.
Then another part of the soldiers under Chen Ying wanted to take this opportunity to directly break the Shouchun City, and they did this, but their marching speed was a bit too slow, which led to some defenders discovering their traces and fighting with them to the death.
It doesn't matter if this resistance is not important. Isn't most of the defenders being entangled by Chen Ying? For the anti-Qin army that was attacking sneak attacks, it just takes some time.
As a result, it was indeed taken some time to take Shouchun and the anti-Qin army took down Shouchun, but while taking Shouchun, they still paid some price. What is worth mentioning is that the leaders of two small forces were shot down by Qin crossbows that were shot out from somewhere, and then they were trampled to death by their subordinates in a dark lantern...
When Chen Ying came back from the middle of the night when he fought bloody battles, his two deputy officers could not even find their bodies. Although he got the city, he was furious at some deputy generals.
Then, Chen Ying, who had already received a letter from Shouchun, wrote a letter overnight, informing Xiang Liang about his progress in Shouchun, and the two leaders who died because of his absence apologized to Xiang Liang. The general meaning is that I am sorry for your trust. Even the lives of the two brothers were not protected well. You should change me to another place!
Three days later, a fast horse passed through Sishui County and arrived at Dang County where Xiangliang was located.
"This Chen Ying is really worthy of our title of king, and we can take Shouchun overnight. However, the key to this matter is still the ignorant young master Gao. This guy dared to send Han Xin, a rebel general of our army who was only over 20 years old, to Shouchun to guard. This man had repeatedly spoken wildly but had no real talent when he was under my command. If all the people under the command of the young master Gao were like this, it would be a great help to us."
When Xiang Liang saw this letter, he was studying with Fan Zeng where he and Xiang Yu led their troops to attack Chen County to achieve the greatest effect. Chen Ying's letter would not be a timely rain for him.
It can be said that even if Chen Ying’s letter shows that these three armies are now ready, as long as Xiang Liang gave the order, he would take down a mere Chen County in his eyes, wouldn’t it be a matter of holding hands?
Under such circumstances, Xiang Liang's spirit began to relax a little and began to explain Han Xin's incident to Fan Zeng.
Xiang Liang can be said to be extremely respectful to the old man Fan Zeng, not only because he is the oldest in the army, but also because Xiang Liang was able to achieve such a good result in the alliance this time, which has a great relationship with Fan Zeng's important weight of Xiong Xin.
Xiang Liang knew that if he had no Xiong Xin, he would probably have a bloody storm if he just wanted to take the position of the leader.
"In my opinion, the young master Gao's army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers without bloodshed were disintegrated in an instant, and it also caused bloody storms in Xianyang City several times before. It was known that he was definitely not an ordinary person. Wu Xinhou wanted to take this opportunity to win Young Master Gao, so he should not develop a contempt..."
He didn't really say directly what Fan Zeng was thinking, but at such a big age, he knew what Xiang Liang's mentality is now, and he also knew that mentality was not something you, a counselor, could control it. If you talk deeply, it would be counterproductive at some point.
That night, Xiang Liang wrote a letter and sent it to Shouchun. This battle made him see Chen Ying's ability and made him believe that with Chen Ying's disturbance in the south, Ying Gao would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
As for the two small leaders of the siege army mentioned in Chen Ying in the letter, Xiang Liang did not pay much attention at all. The death of two people at this level in such a battle was basically no different from the death of two ordinary soldiers for Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang's letter was sent to Shouchun again, and Han Xin, who had left Shouchun sadly, followed Ying Gao's instructions and led an army of one or two hundred people to Chen County.
"I have led my army to Shouchun this time. Not only has he not made any contribution, but he has lost more than a hundred soldiers. I also ask the young master to punish him!"
When Han Xin saw Ying Gao's big smile and smiled, he felt a little sick in his heart. He thought to himself that you had fulfilled your wish, but I made the unknown soldiers complain and ruined it. People say that they were not so cowardly under General Meng Tian. You, Mr. Gao, naturally, don't have to bear the blame. I, Han Xin, just now. The little trust I got just because I led them to attack Shouchun was not left.
"Oh? There is something wrong? If you pretend to be crazy, I will be punished for losing such a serious crime as Shouchun. What do you think?"
Han Xin was stunned when he heard this. Looking at Ying Gao's eyebrows, it didn't seem to be joking at all. He thought that this was really a bit of a big deal. He said that he was also the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty. If his little temper was not taken away, it would be possible that one day someone would be unhappy and beheaded him.
Before, the bully in the county was angry that he had to obediently crawl under his crotch in order not to be beaten, not to mention that he is facing a person who will become the emperor in the future.
"Young Master, don't be angry. I believe that I have already handed Shouchun over to Chen Ying as my orders, and help Chen Ying kill the leader of the anti-Qin forces beside him..."
This is like a human word! I’m talking about conditions with me, you are really a bit too young.
Although he knew that this was Han Xin's little temper, Ying Gao really didn't want to spoil him. Although he would have a lot of reliance on him in military use in the future, Ying Gao didn't want to start with the fact that his subordinates were spoiled by the temper.
"Okay! After this battle, you will be rewarded with great rewards, but I'm afraid you will have to work hard this time..."
