After a while, a herald trotted over and paid homage to Han Xin: "General, the scouting force has discovered the main force of the enemy's army."
Han Xin, who was originally looking at the vast Tianshan Mountains, suddenly showed a glint in his eyes, and said as expected: "Oh? How many people and horses are there?"
"Reporting back to the general, according to the scouting report, the enemy is all over the mountains and fields, stretching for more than a hundred miles. Due to the uneven appearance of the army, the scouts cannot determine the exact number, but it must be at least more than two million." The messenger's face showed a solemn look, and he was obviously worried.
When Han Xin heard this, he just frowned and said, "What is the enemy's strength? Can you tell?"
The messenger said with a heavy look of worry on his face: "The enemy is well-equipped and has bright armor. They are regular troops. Their combat effectiveness should not be too weak."
Han Xin just nodded, then immediately turned around and walked towards the camp without looking back: "Beat the drums and gather the generals immediately."
After a while, the rumble of drums came from the foot of Tianshan Mountain. The camp of the Western Expeditionary Army, which stretched for dozens of miles, was stationed at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. The sound could be heard from all over the camp.
At this time, Han Xin was sitting on the commander's couch in the Chinese army's tent. He looked at the generals below and said, "According to the scouting report, the enemy's main force has been discovered."
His words caused a huge commotion among the generals below, and they all started whispering among each other.
Han Xin looked at Fan Zeng, who was standing below, looking like an old god, with a strange light in his eyes.
Fan Zeng, who was originally in the presence of the old god, seemed to understand the meaning in Han Xin's eyes, and immediately spoke out, overshadowing the generals who were discussing below: "May I ask the general how strong the enemy's army is? Can we be sure of victory?"
"The enemy's force is so powerful that it may not be defeated by manpower. Let alone a sure victory, it is still unknown whether we can confront the enemy." Han Xin shook his head, looking like he had more than enough ambition but not enough power, and shook his head and sighed.
"Oh? Then what should we do? General?" Fan Zeng raised his voice loudly, for fear that some of the generals in the tent might not hear him.
The generals who were originally talking about each other were all attracted by the conversation between Fan Zeng and Han Xin, and all looked at Han Xin at the same time.
Han Xinxin was overjoyed, his face remained calm, and he said with a look that was difficult to say: "In my opinion, it is better to retreat to Longxi County to defend it more dangerously!"
"No, General, if we defeat the enemy before we see it, it will be an insult to His Majesty's power and damage to the state of Qin." After hearing Han Xin's words, all the generals looked surprised, then angry, and one of the generals left immediately.
Come out, objected.
Han Xin glanced at Fan Zeng calmly and did not answer his words.
Fan Zeng understood, coughed twice, and then said: "Yes! General, how can you be scared away by the enemy without fighting? This is not good! I heard that the army in the Eastern Expedition achieved a great victory and annihilated the enemy.
Five million, shocking the world."
"Alas." Han Xin shook his head and said with a look of regret, "Military advisor, you only know one thing but not the other!"
"Oh?" Fan Zeng looked puzzled, and then said to Han Xin, "I would like to hear the details."
Although the generals usually looked down on this pretty boy who had no military exploits and climbed over them, but after all, he was your Majesty's appointed general, and they couldn't help but want to hear his opinion.
"The rebel army is huge, but the difference is that the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army are all elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles and bloody battlefields, and we..." Han Xin took a meaningful look at the generals in the tent, shook his head and sighed.
Fan Zeng's lips curved slightly, and then he pretended to be confused and said, "General, our army conquering the west are also the elite divisions of the Qin Dynasty, aren't we?"
Fan Zeng's words seemed to immediately stimulate the generals in the army that was originally conquering the west, and their original angry expressions immediately turned into spitting stars.
"General, there are no cowards in our Western Army. We are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles and bloody battlefields. Most of us have participated in His Majesty's battle to sweep the six countries ten years ago? Could it be that the General looks down on us?"
"Yes! We are no worse than any other army. What is the general's intention?"
"Are we not convinced?"
"Fight, fight, fight."
"Never retreat, fight the enemy to the death."
"Fight to the death." Fan Zeng's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, bouncing up in the big tent.
Seeing the generals getting excited and vying for battle, Han Xin laughed heartily, but he kept his expression calm on the surface. Every one of these generals with great military exploits looked down upon himself, the imperial general, who usually treated him so well.
Orders are also obeyed and disobeyed.
However, Han Xin also understood their mood and did not care about it. He also turned a blind eye. However, at this time, the main force of the enemy army was approaching, and this prestige must be upheld. It's just that he didn't like to use too violent and bloody methods.
, but used a gentle strategy to motivate the generals.
He is confident that after this battle, these extremely proud generals will all be convinced of him and there will no longer be any objections. However, some small measures are still needed to rectify it.
"Oops! You generals have really misunderstood. What I mean is not that you generals and our army in the west are not as good as the army in the east, but that the enemy is really powerful, and it is definitely not comparable to the enemies encountered by the army in the east.
." Han Xin's voice changed, and the meaning of explanation in his words sounded a bit harsh to the generals, and the feeling became darker and darker.
What the general meant to them was not that they were inferior to the army marching east, but that the enemies they encountered in the west were too strong. It was clear that they were not as good as the enemies and would be defeated by the enemies in the west.
At this time, a middle-aged general who was about forty years old came out. He was a general with ten thousand cavalry, and he was quite prestigious in the army. He came out and asked Han Xindao: "The general judged me based on peace."
Are the brothers of the Western Expeditionary Army inferior to the enemy?" His tone was very unkind, without the slightest hint of politeness or respect.
"Just because the enemy is all over the mountains and plains, there are tens of millions of them." Han Xin no longer looked like he was sighing at this time, but looked at the generals below with sharp eyes, and his voice was like a big bell.
"It's not about the number of soldiers, it's about the quality." The middle-aged cavalry generals argued as they faced each other; "No matter how many we have, we are still vulnerable to a single attack."
"The enemy is well-organized, has strict military discipline, and is well-equipped. Their number is about ten times ours." Han Xin said calmly.
Highly praised.
"Our army in the western expedition has nothing to fear." The middle-aged general heard Han Xin's words. Although he was shocked in his heart, his face remained expressionless.
"The enemy has a legion of giant beasts. According to the horse scouting reports, each giant beast is like a small mountain. When walking, the mountains shake and the ground shakes. If they collide, I am afraid that no heavy armored legion can resist." Han Xin raised his eyebrows and said word by word.
.
In the big tent, some timid generals had turned pale, with fear written all over their faces.
However, although most of the generals were moved and frowned, they did not show any signs of losing their composure. Even the middle-aged general who was competing with Han Xin closed his mouth and frowned, seeming to be very shocked by what Han Xin said.
Beast Legion.
"How are you? Are you afraid? Then retreat! What are you waiting for?" Han Xin curled up his lips and sneered.
At this time, there was silence in the big tent. There was no sound anymore. It seemed that the sound of heartbeat could be heard faintly.
"No, we cannot retreat, and we must fight to the end." An unpeaceful voice sounded, and everyone looked over, only to see a middle-aged cavalry general standing up and shouting sternly.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Han Xin looked up and down at this middle-aged cavalry general who was usually very prestigious due to his military exploits, and was slightly surprised. Just now, he was still beating drums in his heart, fearing that all these generals were greedy for life and afraid of death.
, no one is willing to stand up! Then the scene between him and Fan Zeng will be in vain, and it will be self-defeating.
"A woman will look good to please her, and a soldier will die for his family and country. Why should we fear death?" the middle-aged general roared with righteousness and pride.
Han Xin nodded appreciatively, obviously admiring this person very much, but then his eyes showed contempt. He looked at the generals below who were evasive and pale and said disdainfully, "What about them?"
