Chapter 245 Good News and Bad News

"Your Majesty, there is news from Han Xin and Sima Xin!"

Ying Gao felt relieved when he saw the expression on Xiao He's face. He knew that Han Xin should not have disappointed him. However, Ying Gao had sent him to the north to wipe out the remaining anti-Qin forces, not only wanted to prevent Han Xin from disappointing him, but from Han Xin, Ying Gao still wanted to see his fairy spirit of using troops, and also wanted to see if a person like him could bring him any surprises if he could let him go.

As soon as Xiao He arrived in front of Ying Gao, he did not speak for a moment and handed a letter to Ying Gao. Obviously, Han Xin had returned from the battle report ahead.

Ying Gao opened the letter and saw that Han Xin was introducing himself and Sima Xin, who had left Chen County, almost all the way north, passing through Dang County, where Xiang Liang was before, and then went north from Xue County, and then went north from Xue County to Dong County, and then rushed directly to the gathering place of anti-Qin forces in the anti-Qin three Jin areas, around Handan and Julu counties.

There, Han Xin finally suffered resistance from anti-Qin forces led by Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who had just escaped from Chen County. According to Han Xinxin, they had at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops under their command.

Although Han Xin did not explain in detail in the letter, Ying Gao was as clear as a mirror. What was Handan? It was the capital of Zhao State before. Among the places in the north, this was the anti-Qin concentration camp. Although it was not as good as Chen County and Kuaiji County led by Chu State in the south, the Zhao people's hatred for the Qin people cannot be said to be deep.

Therefore, Chen Yu and Zhang Er, who were originally from Wei, were able to bring the team to the vicinity of Handan, which is enough to illustrate a lot of problems.

Another thing that Ying Gao noticed was that according to Han Xin's description, the people gathered here not only include Chen Yu and Zhang Er, but also Wu Rui and Ying Bu, who were once famous when Xuejun met before, and even had enough strength to rank among the top few.

Han Xin may not know, but Ying Gao knew who Ying Bu was. He was a general under Xiang Yu's previous life. He was now unable to join Xiang Yu's command by chance. Otherwise, Long Jie, Zhou Yin or Zhongli, who might not have emerged too much under Xiang Yu's command, may Ying Bu's ability be above them.

If Han Xin was facing Zhang Er and Chen Yu who were not very good at fighting at all, Ying Gao was not worried at all. However, when Han Xin said Wu Rui and Ying Bu, Ying Gao's face changed a little, but then returned to normal. He knew that there were probably variables in this.

Sure enough, in the second half of the letter, Han Xin had already explained to Ying Gao that the rest of the people were not worth worrying about, but the general Ying Bu under Wu Rui was really a difficult person to deal with.

He led an army of 20,000 to use the anti-Qin sentiment of the Guizhou leaders in Handan to deal with Han Xin. Although he was eventually defeated by Han Xin, Han Xin also lost nearly 10,000 people in this battle, which was the most lost after Ying Gao sent troops to rebel against Qin.

After defeating the coalition forces of Zhang Er and Wu Rui, Han Xin really swept the turbid air in his heart and chased them all the way to Shangdang and Hanoi. He was about to reach the territory of Lao Qin, and these people might have found that they could not run away. He brought less than 30,000 remaining soldiers to turn over and fired Han Xin back.

And this retaliation was exactly what Han Xin was looking forward to, so Han Xin, who had fought them all in one go and enjoyed his life, spared no effort. Han Xin didn't say what was going on in detail, but seeing the result of this battle, Ying Gao's expression on his face was really strange.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu, except that Zhang Er is a little older and I don’t know why he died in battle, Chen Yu was already captured by Han Xin alive. According to Han Xin, even if this letter was to stand in front of him, in less than half a month, he would clean up some of the remnants in the north and lead the army back.

But the only regret is that Ying Bu desperately protected Wu Rui and more than 1,000 troops from their headquarters, and actually broke through Han Xin and set up an encirclement. The road went south. Han Xin did not chase after him because of the overall situation. After all, there were only more than 1,000 people. Instead, Sima Xin led 10,000 troops to pursue him. According to Han Xin, no matter what the result was, Sima Xin would return to Xianyang within one month to report to Ying Gao.

"Your Majesty, the two generals Han Xin and Sima Xin led only 50,000 troops to pacify the northern part of our Qin Dynasty. It is really a matter of worry for you. Otherwise, the north and south will be unstable, and you will probably find it difficult to make a decision for a while."

Xiao He obviously looked at these problems from a macro perspective. Once the land of the Three Jins, South Korea and Yan Kingdom calmed down, the only big head left was Xiang Yu. As long as Meng Yi could solve the matter of Nanhai County within a few months, it would probably be almost the same as Xiang Yu's destruction.

"There is no worries about the matter in the north, but the south... I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly..."

After Ying Gao murmured this, he thought about Wu Rui and Ying Bu who were escaping to the south, and secretly speculated about something that only he knew.

As for hoping that Sima Xin could catch them with 10,000 troops, Ying Gao did not look down on Sima Xin, but this time, Ying Gao estimated that it would be good that Sima Xin could bring back all the ten thousand troops.

What Ying Gao was most worried about was not that Wu Rui and Ying Bu ran away, but where they would go.

Why did they escape...if they went there...

Ying Gao did not express his concern in front of Xiao He, because neither Han Xin nor Sima Xin has come back yet. It is obviously not good to dismantle their station like this, but Ying Gao knew that they had escaped under Han Xin's nose. There must be some reason. If this were based on Ying Gaoyuan's original script, this matter should not be like this.

What Ying Gao didn't know was that at the moment of his worry, at the junction of Sanchuan and Nanyang counties, a team of people was moving rapidly along the path in the forest that covered the sky and the sun. There were only less than 200 riders left in the team. Although they were in a down-and-out manner, they advanced and retreated in a moderate manner and moved quickly. In the dense forest, they were like a team of spirit cats, silent and without traces.

"Mr. Fan, I will throw these hundreds of brothers to Sima Xin before I can get this way of life. Where can I go, I should think about it..."

"I heard that Emperor First Emperor died on the way, and the crown prince Gao of the Qin Dynasty inherited the position of emperor. This is definitely not a blessing for us. In this guy's throne, it is unlikely that we can have a foothold in the Central Plains!"
