Chapter 287
If Han Xin could say this, Hu Hai was relieved. This shows that Han Xin had begun to sincerely plan for the Qin Dynasty. Such an unparalleled national hero would probably be lost if he did not entrusted important tasks in time.
"I originally planned to compete with Xiang Yu for a long time, but today I heard General Han Xin's words and suddenly realized." Zhang Han had been fighting in front of him since he was ordered in Xianyang and had not returned to Xianyang for more than a year. He bowed to Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, although I am the marshal of the Northern Qin Army, the army must be without the deputy commander. I ask Your Majesty to accept Han Xin as the deputy commander, so I can be lazy."
Hu Hai looked at Zhang Han, not as if he was fake. He nodded with a smile on his face and said, "I also want to use Han Xin very much, so I will be a deputy commander first and help Marshal Zhang Han protect the front line of Handan for me."
As soon as he said this, although he had not issued an order, Han Xin was already a foregone conclusion as the deputy commander of the three armies. Han Xin immediately bowed. Even if he had the kindness of knowing the situation, he would not have such an emperor. He had been promoted to the general when he saw him directly pardoning his death sentence and was appointed as the deputy commander after the battle. This kind of life experience is truly unprecedented.
"What kind of virtue is me? I am loved by Your Majesty. I will do my best to fight for Your Majesty in this life." Han Xin was so grateful.
Hu Hai reached out to help Han Xin, signaled him to get up, and said with a smile: "I don't need you to fight with you. Just clean up this mess of the world for me. Although men should have ambitions, they cannot always fight in the army. In the future, you will be a general and a prime minister. I am waiting for your good news."
This was said even deeper. Han Xin was grateful and bowed again with his tall body. Hu Hai stopped his worship and said, "I feel relieved if you two generals are here as commanders. Since the chaos broke out in Daqin, the government has not left Hangu. Now that Zhao has been taken back most of the territory, Hangu Pass is no longer the only barrier for Xianyang to move. I can do financial construction in the rear. At that time, I will also support the army. Zhang Han, you are the Shaofu, and you are an expert, and you may also want you and Meng Yi to supervise these matters at that time. My counselor's mansion has already left you a place."
Zhang Han was moved, and the emperor said this with profound meaning. Han Xin was a general. It seemed that the emperor did not want him to be his deputy commander, but wanted to control the three armies. It seemed that his marshal was almost over. However, he had heard of the Counselor's Mansion that there were meritorious and loyal ministers, and the matters they handled were all major national affairs. If he left the army and could enter the Counselor's Mansion, it would be a huge good thing.
The emperor is so wise that the war may end earlier than the expected time. Once the war is over, it is necessary to rule the world. At that time, he will be in charge of money and food in the Counselor's Mansion and coordinate the world. How glorious is it.
"I will teach Han Xin a military affairs as soon as possible. Please rest assured to you." After Zhang Han bowed seriously, his expression calmed down and said, "I think I haven't returned to Xianyang for more than a year. The old mother, wife and children at home miss it very much. Now I am expected to go back. It's your Majesty's kindness."
Hu Hai looked at Zhang Han and smiled and said, "You did a good job in the Shaofu, with full granaries and abundant national treasury. Now you have a lot of military achievements in the army. You have entered the Counselor's Mansion. It is considered a re-employment of old business, but the title of Duke Wu is indispensable."
This was also an explanation for Zhang Han. He had already placed Han Xin as the main commander. Zhang Han's remaining days were to hand over the things he did in the army as the head coach.
After the Qin army destroyed Chen Yu with one blow, it did not continue to march forward, but retreated and returned directly to Handan City. Under the urging of Han Xin and Zhang Han, Sima Xin mobilized the residents of the entire Handan City to build Handan City.
Most of the nearly 40,000 Zhao soldiers left by Chen Yu were the people around Handan. Hu Hai did not adopt Zhang Han's opinion and killed them, but asked them to count the number of these soldiers who were willing to settle around Handan. Before the spring of the court would distribute land and seeds to let them live a farming life again.
These miscellaneous soldiers heard that the emperor camp distributed their land, and expressed their willingness to return to their hometown to farm. Only a few thousand people were unwilling to farm and asked to join the Qin army and earn some fame.
After discussing with Han Xin and Zhang Han, Hu Hai agreed to the surrendered soldiers who wanted to be incorporated into the Qin army and directly assigned them to Han Xin commander. Han Xin was very successful in commanding these surrendered soldiers with the 5,000 soldiers who followed him to the expedition last time.
However, these soldiers who were reorganized heard that the land distributed by the emperor this time was owned by his own personal property, and the amount of food he planted was fine, so they all regretted it. However, the matter in the army could not go back on their word, so they had to kill their teeth and swallow it.
Since you have returned to Handan, you will be rewarded.
When Han Xin took five thousand infantry to war, he said that if he made military achievements, he would divide the people.
These five thousand soldiers received congratulations and blessings from the Qin soldiers on the school field. Qin II Hu Hai even announced on the spot that 5,000 people were promoted to third-level civil servants and exempted from taxes and military service for life. If they were willing, they could immediately return to their hometown and receive the rewarded land with the certificates given by the court.
Five thousand people were in agitation, and Han Xin kept his word and never said any more to him. Everyone was treated the same. Even the soldiers who rushed back with Chen Yu's head were counted as military merits for the entire army.
The Black Army Captain was named Liu Tang, and he was standing in the crowd with a big mouth and giggling. He had been recognized as a general by Han Xin, and his commanders had changed from five hundred to three thousand.
Here, Handan City is enthusiastically rewarding, strengthening the city and dividing the land. However, Zhang Er is extremely depressed when he is in Julu.
The generals of the five countries gathered together and didn't understand why the fierce Qin army suddenly retreated back to Handan, with a solid city, and seemed to be unwilling to continue attacking.
Seeing the Qin army retreating, Zhang Er wanted to unite the generals of the other four countries to lead the coalition forces of the five countries and return to Handan. But when the marshals of the four countries saw him, they were as if they were hiding from the plague and were unwilling to say more to him.
Ever since Chen Yu's head was sent to Julu, rumors of Zhang Er and Chen Yu's disagreement have been circulating in the coalition. It is said that Zhang Er killed his brother who had been in love for his own selfish interests.
Once this statement spreads, naturally no one is willing to work with Zhang Er.
Even if something happens, the generals of the four countries will study together, and always throw Zhang Er aside intentionally or unintentionally. This situation did not gradually ease until the Chu army reached the south bank of the Zhang River. However, the Zhao army and the other four countries coalition forces had already created rifts. Even their camps were separated from the camps of the other four countries.
On the south bank of the Zhang River, the Chu army set up camps and looked at the five-nation coalition forces in the north. Without the enemy Qin army, Xiang Yu would not have to go to fight Zhang Han in a desperate situation.
The Chu army, who was overwhelming, was as if they had punched the hanging cotton with a fierce punch, and they had no focus at all. They felt uncomfortable and sang songs from Chu in the camp all day long. The morale was also a little weak.
Xiang Yu was domineering and asked Song Yi to supervise the soldiers of the other five countries to jointly attack Handan. However, Song Yi did not abandon Xiang Yu at all. He only held a banquet every day. Xiang Yu was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices, and his murderous intention became stronger.
Just when Xiang Yu's murderous intent was so strong that he could not be resolved, a thin young man entered Song Yi's handsome tent. To be continued.
