There were only more than 200 government officials in Chencang County. In more than an hour, the Han army climbed to the top of the city. Although they paid a heavy price of nearly a hundred people, for Fan Kuai, who had 30,000 vanguards, the capture of Chencang meant that the Han army

thorough

At the end of the day, the main road to the north was opened. At this time, 27,000 troops were busy setting up camp outside Chencang City, while Fan Kuai led 2,000 troops and horses into the city. The people in the city were eating pots of pulp and kneeling on both sides of the road.

Welcome the Han army.

The reputation of the Han army in Guanzhong is very good. Especially after Liu Bang destroyed the Qin State and made peace with the people, the people of Chencang warmly welcomed Liu Bang's army into the city.

The first thing Fan Kuai did when he entered the city was to announce to the people in the city that the Han army would go north and station 300,000 troops. The land in Guanzhong would soon fall into the hands of the Han state. After that, he hurried to the county government office.

In the county government office, Fan Kuai's personal guards took two men away from Meng Tao.

After the stolen prostitutes were quietly placed, they left in a hurry. Soon, Fan Kuai arrived. He entered the inner office happily. Throughout the morning, no one saw Fan Kuai anymore, only the soldiers passing by the back office.

Occasionally, a woman's moans and giggles can be heard.

At 3:30 p.m., Han Xin's 100,000 troops arrived one after another. The first batch of cavalry was about 20,000 people. They lined up neatly and went straight to the camp. At this time, Fan Kuai's vanguard army was already in the west of Chencang, and the two directions in the north were

Several large camps were set up to provide rest for the main force of Han Xin's army.

Later, 80,000 infantrymen arrived in five echelons. Han Xin was always in the first echelon. At this time, his team arrived at the gate of Chencang City. Fan Kuai, who was supposed to be waiting here, was nowhere to be seen. Until Han Xin arrived at the city gate, Fan Kuai

None of them appeared, only

Fan Kuai's deputy general Niu Er was standing in front of the city gate wearing brand new armor and a blue cloak on his back. At this time Niu Er had seen Han Xin among the three thousand guards. He hurriedly waved his hands to several generals, and everyone responded.

Wearing armor, he hurriedly greeted him: "See the general."

Han Xin glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice: "Where is General Fan? Why don't you see him coming?"

"General Fan... General Fan is interrogating the prisoners in the back office." Niu Er didn't know how to answer. He had an idea and used the prisoners to deal with Han Xin, but Han Xin ignored Niu Er. He waved his hand forward and shouted:

"Enter the city!"

Three thousand guardsmen surrounded Han Xin and marched towards Chencang County. At this time, Niu Er wanted to enter the city first to report the news. However, Han Xin was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If he walked in front of him, he would definitely be guilty of the following.

Niu Er then beheaded him. After hesitating for a moment, Niu Er chose to follow Han Xin's team and walked into the city together.

Although Chencang experienced a fierce battle, it only took one morning to pack up everything. There were many people walking in the street. However, after seeing Han Xin's army entering the city, the people still consciously came to both sides of the street and knelt on the ground to welcome him.

Han Xin, but Han Xin just waved his hands to the common people to express his intimacy, and then rode his horse to the county government office.

When the garrison at the gate of the county government saw Han Xin's arrival, he immediately knelt down on one knee to perform a military salute. Han Xin waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up. After everyone stood up after singing a promise, Han Xin asked coldly: "Where is your general?"

"In...in the back office." A captain stuttered back. Niu Er, who was standing by, saw that the momentum was not good, so he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "General, you go to the front office for a sip of tea first, and I'll give it to you.

Call our general."

Han Xin had already seen that Niu Er was not telling the truth. At this time, he scolded displeasedly: "You lead me the way honestly, or I will kill you first."

Niu Er shivered with fright and hurriedly saluted Han Xin: "General... I will obey your order."

Niu Er was in front, leading Han Xin to the back office. As soon as he walked into the threshold, he heard a faint moan from a woman inside. Han Xin reprimanded slightly unhappily: "Is she still a female prisoner?"

"This..." Niu Er was completely speechless. After staring at the back office for a while, Han Xin snorted coldly, looked at Niu Er and said: "If your general hadn't captured Chencang and cleared the way for the army, this would be

I will definitely not pardon the matter. Now go and inform your general and the general in charge of the front office. If you don’t come, military law will be enforced."

Niu repeatedly sang his promise, and Han Xin turned around and left.

…

Zhou Bo and Guan Ying were in charge of the left army and the right army respectively. Each army had more than 40,000 people. It was not until the army was completely settled that they hurried to the county government office. At this time, the county government office had been arranged by Han Xin's personal soldiers.

All the remnants of the past were thrown away, and Fan Kuai stood half-bent, slightly embarrassed.

Zhou Bo and Guan Ying hurriedly saluted after entering the front office: "See you, General."

Han Xin waved his hand, indicating that the two of them would not be polite. At this time, Fan Kuai also took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "The general is reckless, please forgive me, the general."

In the past, Fan Kuai would not take Han Xin seriously, but in the past six months, Han Xin organized his troops well, forged weapons and trained formations for Han, which made everyone look at Han Xin in a new light. Invisibly, Han Xin's prestige increased day by day.

At this time, Fan Kuai was also unspeakably afraid of Han Xin, so he had to quietly stand aside.

At this time, seeing Uncle Zhou and Guan Ying entering, he dared to step forward to plead guilty. Han Xin did not want to embarrass Fan Kuai too much. The battle was imminent and he could not lose his spirit. Seeing Fan Kuai take the initiative to admit his mistake, Han Xin coughed dryly and reprimanded: "As a person, you

The former army commander and the commander-in-chief of the vanguard army's entry into Guanzhong should have been a great achievement, but just after capturing Chencang, do you dare to molest a civilian girl?"

"General, the lady in the rear office just now is not... not a civilian girl. I captured it from Meng Tao's army. It is... a trophy." Fan Kuai said without confidence. Han Xin was angry and funny after hearing this. Trophy?

I haven't heard that women who have been paid can also be treated as trophies.

At this time, Han Xin didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, so he had to wave his hands and scolded: "Asshole, can women be considered trophies? Anyway, you have enjoyed it now, so hurry up and send them to me.

Get out, lest you talk nonsense here and lose the face of our Han army."

"Yes, definitely." Fan Kuaihan smiled and cupped his hands. At this time, Han Xin stood up and came to the map placed nearby. He pointed at the map and said: "Scouts have come to report that Yong's army's main force of 50,000 is stationed in the Yixian area.

The company's camp is several miles away and blocks our way eastward. We must get rid of this army."

"This is easy. General, why don't you give me more troops and horses? I'll go and kick this camp." Fan Kuai laughed heartily, but Han Xin shook his head in disapproval: "Your Majesty's army has already passed the Qinling Mountains at this time.

We'll arrive in half a day

Chencang, grain road transportation is the most important at this time. Although we have occupied Chencang, Yong County and Guo County to the north are our biggest obstacles. We must capture these two cities first before we can attack with all our strength.

Yongjun camp in the county."

Just as Han Xin finished speaking, Uncle Zhou and Guan Ying walked out respectively, cupping their hands and saying, "I'm willing to go."

The two of them were competing for merit and refused to give in. Han Xin had to order: "You two each have 10,000 troops and advance in batches. Zhou Bo will attack Yong County and Guan Ying will attack Guo County. If there are any mistakes, come and see them."

.”

The two sang their promises and left. Fan Kuai on the side looked a little unhappy. Before he left, he asked: "General, they have both gone. Why don't you give me a chance to lead the troops to meet Yong's army? First,

Kick the Yixian County Camp?"

"No, after many days of marching, the soldiers are exhausted and it is not suitable to fight anymore. You go and get ready. I will pick you up in the afternoon."

…

Yixian Daying is only twenty miles away from Yixian County. It is located on a plain with a wide field of vision. Scouts often come and go here.

Today, intermittently, many defeated soldiers came from the direction of Chencang. They all fled here from Meng Tao's camp. At this time, the news of Chencang's fall also came.

There was someone who was responsible for arranging the defeated troops, but Xu Liang, who had just returned, followed closely behind his general, rode his horse and left the camp under the protection of a hundred cavalry, and headed straight for Abandoned Qiu.

Before sunset in the afternoon, this wave of people finally arrived at Feiqiu City. It is adjacent to the Wei River in the south and is a large city covering an area of ​​thousands of acres. At this time, Wang Li took the lead outside the west gate and shouted to the city: "Open the door quickly, I will

I have urgent military matters and I need to see the king."

The general of the garrison on the city knew Wang Li, and saw him wandering under the city with a look of urgency on his face. He did not dare to delay, so he immediately pushed the winch and opened the city gate. Wang Li and others rode their horses and hurried into the ruined Qiu.

As for the Yi Palace, Zhang Han also received an urgent report from Guo County at this time. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops had crossed the Wei River and garrisoned in Chencang. Chencang County had been captured by the Han army in the early morning.

This was my biggest mistake. I was on the verge of taking precautions. I actually didn’t garrison more troops and horses on the Chencang front line. As a result, the Han army could easily go out of their old way and attack Chencang. When I was angry, a personal guard walked into the hall and handed over Zhang Han behind him.

He said: "Your Majesty, General Wang Li, General Zhaoping, Prime Minister Wu Han, Sir Shicheng are out here asking for an audience."

They all came at once, Zhang Han nodded slightly, "That's fine, just let them all come in so that I don't have to look for them one by one."

The guard retreated, and Zhang Han stared at the map again. If he wanted to defeat the Han army, there was really no better way than relying on the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains. However, the Han army did not follow what Zhang Han expected.

As the route went north, they pretended to repair the plank road, which made Zhang Han focus on Baoxie.

On the road, troops would be stationed in Yi County, but at this time, they went north from the old road and went straight to Chencang. This made Zhang Han inevitably feel disappointed. Just when Zhang Han sighed, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard in the hall.

Soon, footsteps came behind Zhang Han, and everyone raised their hands in unison: "Greetings to the king."

Zhang Han was interrupted from his meditation by everyone. He turned around and saw that everyone had arrived, so he raised his hands and said, "Everyone, get up."

Everyone stood up after singing the promise. At this time, Zhang Han looked at Wu Han, and Wang Li and others sighed helplessly: "The Han army went north and has already reached Chencang. Have you heard about this?"

Wang Li was the first to take a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Han army has not only occupied Chencang, I have obtained information about their defeat. Yong County has been lost, and Guo County is also in danger. The Han army is stabilizing Chencang and the old road.

The grain road to the north is clear, such as

If they get a foothold, they will definitely launch an attack on Xi County in the next step. If Xi County falls, Your Majesty, the plank road of Baoxie Road will be restarted, and the Han army will invest a lot of civilian power in its construction. At that time, Your Majesty will have no choice but to retreat to the abandoned area.

Qiu, our situation is worrying."

Wang Li's words hit the nail on the head, causing everyone in the hall to become silent.
