Chapter 170 The Great Wall Legion Goes South

Han Xin's fate is good, but Han Xin's fate is not good.

He was not as smooth as Guan Ying. He entered Wang Buye's vision shortly after joining, so he was quickly promoted by Wang Buye.

But he did not receive any attention at Xiang Liang like in history. Xiang Liang was still not valued after his death, and eventually he turned to Liu Bang, but he was still not valued under the recommendation of Xiahou Ying. On the way away, Xiao He was chased back, which started his domineering life.

Han Xin once fantasized about being directly appointed as general by those marquis.

But after so many years of experience, he told him to take a shower and go to bed.

He is just a little man with no background and no military achievements.

Even if you have extraordinary talents in your heart, you have to find an opportunity to show it.

Therefore, after coming to the Han army, Han Xin calmed down and stopped thinking about those whimsical things.

Although he is more likely to reach the sky in one step in other places, which is something that the Han army cannot give him, but in the same way, Han Xin can also temper himself here.

The more you understand, the calmer you will be.

One step to reach the sky may not be a good thing.

The military farms are in full swing, whether it is normal farming among the people or military reclamation.

The only thing that made the people a little depressed was that the welfare that should have belonged to them was now stolen by the army.

They have no hope of farming this year's official fields, so it is naturally impossible to get rewards.

But at least this year is the first year of tax exemption. Even if they can't make some money, at least they don't have to pay taxes this year, which is somewhat good news.

As for other places, I can only envy the Han Dynasty now.

For nothing else, the tax paid by the family a year is enough to support an adult, or two or three children.

at the same time!

However, the Zhao State in the north was trapped in a fire of war.

The spring seeds were completely delayed. Although the people were ready to farm, they were about to fight.

An army of hundreds of thousands of scale is here, especially near the capital of Zhao State Xindu.

But for ordinary people, even if they have to make trouble, they have to farm.

What to eat without farming?

March of the third year of Qin II and March of the first year of Han.

Wang Li led the Great Wall Legion to march south!

The Great Wall Legion was invincible all the way, and the Zhao army was vulnerable. Later, it gradually evolved into a fleeing afterwards.

It is a completely replica of the scene when Wang Buye beats Zhang Han last year when the Qin army led by Zhang Han.

Near Xindu, the Qin army's offensive eased slightly.

First, all faith will be broken, and second, the battles will be fought all the way. Although there are no tough battles, the soldiers are still a little tired when they run around.

The Qin army stopped just to take a breath, and then broke through Zhao State in one fell swoop, suppressed the revived force again, and completely eliminated it.

"Wang Li brought 400,000 troops?" Wang Buye was stunned.

"Yes, 400,000, only a lot more or less!" Peng Yue, who had already entered the role, said in a sophisticated manner.

"Can there be troops in Guanzhong mobilize north?" Wang Buye continued to ask.

"No, the situation in Guanzhong is very bad, and the public complaints are everywhere. Most of the recruitment of Qin Ting are listened to Xuan and not to the order. I guess that Wang Li should have selected some people from the Great Wall corvee to join the Qin army." Peng Yue said.

"Yes!" Wang Buye nodded.

If Guanzhong did not send troops to support him, then Wang Li's 400,000 people were likely to be drawn from corvee labor.

However, Wang Buye still expressed some doubts about the size of 400,000 people.

What is the composition of the personnel?

Through the learned battle situation, the number of veterans in the Great Wall Legion is at least 200,000.

There were 400,000 people in history, but it was Wang Li's 200,000 people, plus Zhang Han's 200,000 people, a total of 400,000.

The so-called siege of Zhao State actually did not only take place within Zhao State, but also within the Central Plains and Chu State.

In history, Li You died in this war, and the place where he died was Yongqiu, Dang County. At that time, the Chu army was divided into two groups. Xiang Liang led the main force to Zhao State, while Liu Ji and Xiang Yu led their troops to resist the attacks of Zhang Han and Li You and other Qin generals in the Central Plains.

"Immediately find out if there is still Qin army in the Great Wall Camp!" Wang Buye hurriedly ordered.

This news is crucial. If Qin army is still left behind in the Great Wall Camp, then his plan can continue to be implemented.

If Wang Li comes out in full swing, then his plan needs to be decided based on actual conditions.

"No!" Peng Yue responded, hesitating in his heart. He looked at Wang Buye, and mustered up the courage to continue, "Your Majesty, Zhao's army cannot stop the Qin army, and the Chu army's mobilization is a little slow, so there may be no hurry to provide assistance..."

"Hasn't the Chu army prepared for a long time?" Wang Buye said in confusion.

The Chu State began to prepare several months ago. Why is the Great Wall Legion now that the Chu army has just reacted?

"I was prepared for it, but the Qin army's offensive was too fierce and progressed too fast. Before the spring plowing, the Chu army disbanded the army and asked them to go home to farm. After suddenly receiving the news that the Qin army went south, he quickly summoned the troops again. It took a lot of time to go back and forth, and it took a certain amount of time to mobilize food and grass." Speaking of this, Peng Yue quietly glanced at Wang Buye.

Then he said: "The Qin army used our way, but it was more ruthless than what we did..."

"Hmm?" Wang Buye was a little confused, so what does it mean to be more ruthless than what we do?

Peng Yue quickly explained: "In addition to cleaning up all the granaries of the counties along the way, all the food found in Zhao State was not spared. If people farmed, they would be destroyed. If they dared to resist at all, they would kill them. Therefore, some areas of Zhao State could only rely on their own grain storage to survive the next two years..."

“…”

Wang Buye looked speechless.

This Wang Li is completely crazy...

This is to carry out a strong wall and clear field in the enemy territory. No matter whether you have grown or not, it is not allowed to grow.

That's all, hatred seems to have completely invaded Wang Li's thoughts.

Perhaps in his opinion, everyone in front of him is an enemy, no matter whether you are a military or a civilian.

As long as it is an enemy, it must be destroyed mercilessly.

Wang Bue seemed to understand something, why after this battle, Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin troops.

Xiang Liang's death was only one of them, and the second one might also be related to the Qin army's actions in this battle. As for the concern that these old Qin people will rebel in the future.

It’s not that there is no such possibility, but Fan Zeng cannot see it. Once the 200,000 Qin troops are massacred, it means that Xiang Yu may never be able to enter Guanzhong.

Perhaps because of his reputation, people dare not resist, but they will never surrender.

At this point, the general trend of the world seems to be somewhat different from what he imagined, and Wang Buye didn't dare to be careless.

Although he planned to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, if the Chu army really couldn't stand it, he wouldn't sit idly by.
