Chapter 232 Division and Unity

The Qin army attacked the Han army in Wancheng from south to north.

Han Xin's turn made the Qin army, which was originally at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, unexpectedly gained a considerable advantage on the local battlefield of Nanyang County.

The Qin army reported successive successes, and the Qin army of all walks suffered almost no major defeats. On the Han army, the 6,000 soldiers from Fancheng and Deng counties were surrounded and annihilated, and the scattered troops guarding the counties were defeated. In addition, the losses in fighting against Li Yuan's Qin army on the northern front battlefield, Zhou Bo's 70,000 troops were reduced to 50,000.

Sixty thousand to fifty thousand.

The Qin army used deception and rational tactics to successfully make Liu Bang mistakenly think that the main force of the Qin army was coming towards Yingdu, resulting in a series of misjudgment. By the time he woke up, the Han army in Wancheng had already been trapped in the Qin army's encirclement.

We were surrounded by the Qin army.

We lost many cities.

Under such an unfavorable situation, the Han generals stationed in Nanyang County, Yushui, were all in a state of disgrace. There were only 50,000 Han troops left in Wancheng, and some of them were newly recruited shortly. Every Han general would be in his heart. Compared with the Han army led by the grass-roots team, the 60,000 Qin troops were completely real elite soldiers.

Wancheng.

Zhou Bo urgently summoned various Han generals to discuss military information, trying to restore the passive situation, but in this military parliament, a dispute broke out among the Han generals.

The Han generals in Wancheng were composed of Taiwei Zhou Bo as the main general, and Liu Bang's eldest son Liu Fei as the military supervisor. King Han Xin of Han, generals Liu Jia, Cheng Zong, Cheng Chu, Wang Wu, Chen Xi and others formed the upper structure of this Han army.

In the face of crisis.

It is the most test of patience, perseverance, courage and loyalty.

Should we continue to use our existing troops to choose to resist step by step in Wancheng, and wait for the troops sent by Liu Bang to reinforce from Yingdu, or choose to give up Wancheng and preserve the vitality.

"Taiwei, we cannot stand in the dead land of Wancheng. We should fight out to find the weakness of the Qin army, and then turn defeat into victory." The person who made this suggestion was Han Wangxin, a descendant of the Korean royal family, who was not interested in defending Nanyang, the land of Chu.

"The Qin army is weak all the way. Which route is weak? Is it the 50,000 Qin army in the south or the 15,000 people in the north? Is it Han Xin or Li Yuan?" Zhou Bo asked with a calm face.

After losing Cao Shen, the pillar of the army, Zhou Bo, under his last resort, relied more on strong suppression than on his personal prestige.

The Han Wangxin in front of him was Zhou Bo's potential opponent.

"Of course, it's a road where there are few people. No, we should go south quickly, actively capture the fighter jets, and strive to fight with the main force of the Han King to surround the Qin army, Han Xin." Han Wangxin hesitated and hesitated.

Although the Qin army in the north had only more than 10,000 people, when he thought that he was leading the Qin State's famous Qin State, Li Yuan, who was known as the unbeaten general, immediately became short of breath.

In the past, all the generals who were against Li Yuan had turned into piles of bones.

Han Wangxin doesn't want to die yet.

He also had to take his team to the east to Yingchuan, Xiping, and return to the old Han place. Returning to the tomb of his ancestors, this is what Han Wangxin hopes to do most.

In addition, the leading general of the Qin army's Eastern Expedition was also called Han Xin, which made Han Wangxin very unhappy. What he was most angry about was that people often compared and judged the guy who was willing to be humiliated by the crotch with his noble royal family members like him.

"Does General Han think it is possible to win?" Zhou Bo said angrily.

"Prince, don't be angry. General Han Xin's intention is just to find a way out for everyone. If we keep defending this, we will have no hope in the end." During the military discussion, Liu Fei, the military supervisor who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and said.

Liu Fei was Liu Bang's eldest son, but his mother Cao was just one of the best wine shops in Pei County. Not only did he have a low status, but he also died early. Liu Fei's personal abilities were also incomparable to his father. Therefore, he had no idea about the throne of the King of Han. This time, Liu Bang sent Liu Fei to Wancheng to supervise the army, and he was still grateful.

Yingdu.

It has become a place where two women Lu Zhi and Qi Ji fight each other. Any Liu Bang's son will be involved if he is not careful. Liu Fei wants to live, want to live well, and enjoy his comfortable and comfortable life.

Liu Fei's statement turned Zhou Bo's suppression into a joke, while Han Wangxin laughed out loud from his depression. Behind him, Liu Jia, Cheng Zong, Wang Wu and other Han generals stood firmly behind him. On this side of Zhou Bo, there was only Chen Xi, a native of Wancheng.

"Since there are different opinions, let's wait for the King of Han to make a decision. Before the King of Han arrives, if something happens to disobey the military order, don't blame Bo's military law for being ruthless." Zhou Bo snorted coldly, glared at Liu Fei, Liu Jia and others fiercely, and then took big strides to leave the seat first.

"Hmph, what's so cool? This will be outside. There is no military order. When the Han King's order arrives, we are afraid that we will be surrounded by the Qin army early." Han Wangxin glared back at Zhou Bo's back disdainfully, and then pulled Liu Fei. Liu Jia and his group went to the side to discuss it privately.

Different predictions for the future battle situation.

This was the cause of the dispute between the generals of the Han army. As the county magistrate of Nanyang County recommended by Liu Bang and the chief general of the 50,000 Han army, Zhou Bo has always advocated local defense and resisted the attack of the Qin army step by step, and advocated trying his best to compete for control of each city to gradually weaken the Qin army's vitality.

As an old brother of Liu Bang in Pei County, Zhou Bo's loyalty to Liu Bang was not questioned. For the sake of Liu Bang's great cause, he could die and sacrifice everything.

However, Zhou Bo has such determination.

But others may not be the same as him. Even Liu Bang's son Liu Fei was not willing to live and die with Wancheng.

——.

April 23.

First morning.

The gate of Wancheng quietly opened with a creaking sound.

A Han army covered its banner and quickly escaped from the city, then met with Liu Jia and Han Wangxin's troops stationed in the southeast corner of Wancheng, and marched east along Yushui.

Liu Fei ran away.

After continuing to persuade Zhou Bo several times, Liu Fei joined forces with Liu Jia, Han Wangxin and other Han generals, and led more than 10,000 people to Yingchuan County in the east.

From Nanyang County to Yingchuan County, the journey requires crossing the Funiu Mountains thousands of miles. Although the marching road is difficult and dangerous, it is better than being annihilated by the Qin army.

Ten thousand Han troops fled. The Han army in Wancheng was originally reserved by Zhou Bo, and was preparing to reinforce friendly troops in danger when the front line was unstable, but now, he suddenly had nothing in his hands.

"This is so shameless." This news made Zhou Bo furious. As a military supervisor, Liu Fei was already responsible for governing the army and rectifying the discipline, but he took the lead in violating the general's order and instigated Liu Jia, and Han Wangxin left the battlefield without authorization.

"Taiwei, let's order to shrink our troops and defend Wancheng quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid that all the people in front of me will not be able to retreat." Zhou Bo, the only Han general, persuaded Chen Xi.

Others can escape.

Chen Xi can't do anything.

Unlike other Han generals, Chen Xi was a native of Wancheng. In this city, there were his family, his tribe, and many of his neighbors and relatives whom he knew and did not know.

"General Chen, please quickly pass on my order and order the troops on the South and North Lines to abandon the county towns along the way and quickly move closer to Wancheng. Within three days, those who are slow to move and unable to arrive will be severely punished according to the military rules." Zhou Bo ordered helplessly.

Without a reserve team, resistance has become empty talk. Zhou Bo decided to put his last hope on the strong city of Wancheng.

——.

Upstream of Luo River.

The Qin army on the northern line is advancing southward.

When the Qin army lurking in Wancheng was secretly eager to report the abnormal situation of the Han army in Wancheng, Li Yuan's partial army was sweeping various counties of the Han Kingdom along the way, occupying a place, consolidating a place, and constantly eroding the land of the Han Kingdom, as a model for following up governance during the expansion of the Qin Kingdom's territory.

After the Qin army occupied the city, a group of civil servants from the internal affairs and civil servants from Guanzhong took their own team to occupy the county government office, seized the county warehousing assets and sealed the booklets, and were so busy that they were overwhelmed.

Military situation changed rapidly.

Li Yuan immediately summoned Su Jiao, Meng Hu and Zhang Ping to discuss matters. These three generals in the old Qin army were now promising to Li Yuan.

With 15,000 people, he restrained up to 70,000 Han troops, thus winning the initiative on the battlefield for the Han Xin army on the southern front. Even if the god of war Bai Qi resurrected, he would not be able to do better than Li Yuan.

"Everyone, I came to report that the Han army in Wancheng split. Liu Fei, Liu Jia, Han Wangxin and others fled to the Yingchuan area. The Han general Zhou Bo had no trump card. The next thing he could do was to defend the dead. Therefore, we must change our strategy and march towards Wancheng quickly, and strive to meet with friendly troops on the southern line as soon as possible at the city of Wancheng." Li Yuan took Mizua's secret letter and ordered Su Jiao and other generals.

"Wuhou, the last general is willing to lead the cavalry to attack the Han soldiers. He will definitely intercept the fleeing enemies before the Han army revolts." Meng Hu asked for the order loudly.

"Wuhou, the last general asked the order to climb Wancheng first. He would not swear to withdraw his troops until the city wall was broken." Zhang Ping was not willing to be outdone, so he also stood up and asked for the order.

"The two generals are willing to be the vanguards, defeat Wancheng for our Great Qin and make such a great contribution." Li Yuan laughed and said with a sensation.

Zhang Ping and Meng Hu.

They represent two different groups in the Qin army respectively.
