Chapter 218 The problem of crossing the river
"This time, the anti-Qin alliance in Xue County was shattered. Although our army suffered losses, it was only more than 10,000 people. This time, with the more than 20,000 Dongyang soldiers brought by General Chen Ying, the number of our army not only did not decrease, but increased by more than 10,000."
A war has come to an end for the time being, so Zhang Han naturally wants to report the results of Ying Gao. Another purpose of his words is of course that there are still many anti-Qin forces, and they don’t know where to go while the night is sunny.
If we cannot take advantage of this incident, we will not take over the troops, especially Xiang Yu, who didn't know where he went, there will be some consequences.
"According to General Zhang Han's opinion, how should we act next?"
Of course, Ying Gao understood what Zhang Han and the others meant, but after this battle that lasted for quite some time, Ying Gao, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, slowly figured out a truth.
What he figured out was nothing else, if you personally make plans and the generals below could only implement them, then in the end, there was no need to mention Zhang Han, Wang Li, Sima Xin, etc., even Han Xin, who claimed to be unlimited in the military immortals, would probably have to let you use it.
Now the Xue County Alliance, which is truly a threat to the Qin Dynasty, has disappeared with Xiang Liang hanging the commander's flag on his head. At least from the temporary situation, no force can bring any catastrophic crisis to the Qin Dynasty.
According to post-war statistics, some of the abilities really didn't know where to go, and those who had no ability but had a high opinion of themselves were not killed by Qin soldiers and ended up being captured by Ying Gao.
As Ying Gao imagined, Zhang Liang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Wu Rui and other series of hard bones escaped without exception, but they were not worried about Ying Gao. He didn't believe that the second Xiang Liang would jump out to organize an anti-Qin alliance in a few months, because they had seen the ability of the Qin soldiers.
Just as Xiang Liang said during his lifetime, the matter of opposing Qin was a matter of one move, and then declined and exhausted three times.
Now the first pass is already scattered, and it does not consume the Qin soldiers at all. Instead, it has won more than 20,000 Dongyang heroes.
With such a result, anyone who wants to play another round has to think carefully about their own weight. What's more, almost the entire Qin Dynasty is watching. The failure of the anti-Qin forces will undoubtedly make it much more difficult for them to absorb the people in the future.
In short, all these phenomena show that at this time, the best way for Liu Bang and Xiang Yu is to find a place to stay quietly, and then pray that Ying Gao will not find them, and then talk about other things when this sensation passes.
But even though they thought so, Ying Gao did not want them to calm down their mentality. Moreover, he believed that his commanders, from generals to soldiers, would definitely not have planned to let them go.
"Xiang Yu, with a large number of Jiangdong children and other small forces, will probably take a detour to return to Jiangdong Kuaiji County. If the army takes advantage of the victory and pursues Xiang Yu in Kuaiji County, the rest will be no longer worth worrying!"
Zhang Han obviously grasped the key to the problem. They killed their uncle and hung their heads on the flagpole to show their public. As a young man like Xiang Yu, who is still young, he must not tolerate it. Now, Daqin and Xiang Yu have already brought family hatred with their national hatred and cannot be resolved at all.
So Xiang Yu is Zhang Liang now. If you kill him quickly, then he will do anything next.
What's more, according to their speculation, Zhang Liang is probably also with Xiang Yu now. According to Zhang Han's intention, it's just a matter of catching a thief and killing two birds with one stone.
"Even so, how can we prepare the crossing boats with so many troops? If what I expected was, if Xiang Yu really returned to Jiangdong, he would definitely rob the nearby ships before returning. He would probably not leave even a small boat for me."
The word "crossing the river" is very simple to say, but it is undoubtedly rare for Qin soldiers. Moreover, Ying Gao believes that even if Xiang Yu really returns to Jiangdong, Fan Zeng or Zhang Liang will not let Ying Gao pass it easily.
The simplest way to complete it in a short time is undoubtedly to make Ying Gao unable to obtain the warships. The warships of the 150,000 army are not a small number.
"This... the left and right Jiujiang County has been taken back by us. Why not just supervise the construction of a batch of warships in Shouchun? Once the warships are built, they can cross the river from Jiujiang to the east and take Xiang Yu straight."
As soon as Zhang Han said this, before Ying Gao could reply, Han Xin, who was standing beside him, stood up directly.
"I wonder how long does it take for the general to build a warship?"
"This... I am a child of Old Qin, and I am really not familiar with the matter of building ships in Jiangnan."
"If an ordinary warship is equipped with craftsmen, it can be as few as several months or as many as one year."
As soon as Han Xin said this, Zhang Han didn't know how to respond at that time. He thought that this warship consisting of just a piece of wood would take so long. When the warship was caused, the food was cold.
Ying Gao had never thought that it would be so troublesome to take the army across the river. Of course, he also knew that if you just wanted to go there, you could barely get some small boats from nearby fishermen.
But the important thing is that you used to fight, not to travel. If the soldiers really took the fishermen's boat, once the wind leaked out in the middle, Xiang Yu had some methods to let you land ducks from the west enter the river to feed the fish, so Ying Gao couldn't even think about this shortcut.
"Since you are from Huaiyin, in this situation, if Xiang Yu led his men to retreat around Kuaiji County, what should I do?"
At this time, since Han Xin interrupted, you have to bear the blame if you don’t take it. Moreover, Ying Gao knew that this guy should have some idea in his mind, otherwise it would be impossible to pretend to be this big clove of garlic at this time.
"I believe that the young master does not have to hurry up with Xiang Yu at this moment. Although Xiang Yu is very likely to be a solid business in Kuaiji, he is just in the county of Kuaiji. If the young master can defend Jiujiang and prevent him from coming west, what can he do if he has thousands of troops?"
"Oh? If you follow what you said before, let Xiang Yu and his group do whatever they want on the territory of our Great Qin? They won't stop until they die of old age?"
Alas, let me clarify, I really didn't deliberately get out of context... Thank you for your monthly ticket... Let's continue, hehe
Chapter completed!
