More and more people are falling into the big pit.
Finally, it was almost full.
Some Han soldiers trampled on the corpses of their comrades who had fallen into the pit, stepped across the pit, and escaped the fire. However, they did not have the courage to fight anymore, and as soon as they crossed the pit, they knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I surrender, don't kill me!"
"I am willing to surrender!"
"I don't want to die, please, don't kill me."
…
Voices of surrender kept ringing out one after another. One after another, the Han soldiers who crossed the pit chose to surrender. After they shouted surrender, Han Xin did not order the killing, but just let them kneel on the ground.
The fire has grown so large that there is no need to release arrows.
The situation has developed to this point and is no longer under human control. Even Han Xin cannot stop it. The only thing Han Xin can do is to lead his soldiers and watch quietly from a distance.
The fire in Nancheng is getting bigger and bigger.
The thick smoke is getting stronger and stronger.
The burning scene was spectacular, and the air was filled with steam.
In fact, in order to ambush Guan Ying, Han Xin evacuated almost half of Nancheng and moved all the people in Nancheng, Sanshui County. Soldiers also smeared kerosene and spirits on the houses on both sides of the streets along the way to facilitate the attack.
Can ignite quickly.
This is a huge project.
All this is to deal with Guan Ying.
Now that Guan Ying died in battle, in Han Xin's view, although Nancheng was in flames, everything was worth it.
The fire continued.
More and more Han soldiers were killed or injured, but no one stepped forward to put out the fire.
The fire burned for a full two hours before it subsided. However, the houses on both sides of the streets in the south city area had completely turned dark and were completely burned by the fire.
Burnt corpses lay on the ground.
Many people have long been reduced to ashes.
Seeing such a scene, Han Xin felt a hint of unbearability in his eyes, but it eventually turned into determination. From his true heart, he was unwilling to cause more killings or kill so many people.
But if he doesn't kill someone, others will kill him. There is no choice.
Han Xin captured the surrendered Han soldiers.
In fact, the number of soldiers who surrendered was small, only about 400. The rest of the Han soldiers died in the fire.
This also applies to infant feeding.
Han Xin asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. After handling the battlefield, he took the surrendered prisoners and went straight back to the military camp. He entered the army and met Wang Can in the Chinese army's tent. He reported: "Your Majesty, everything is going well, we have been annihilated."
Guan Ying's army. In this battle, more than 8,000 soldiers under Guan Ying's command were almost wiped out. Guan Ying himself also died on the battlefield."
“Well done!”
When Wang Can heard the news, he nodded.
If he were to execute the order, he might not be able to achieve the same effect as Han Xin.
Wang Can changed the topic and continued: "In order to ambush Guan Ying, we also paid a huge price. Especially in this battle, countless houses were burned down, causing damage to many people's homes. Next, the government
Not only must we stabilize public sentiment, but we must also solve the problem of house collapse.”
"I understand!"
Han Xin bowed in response.
Wang Can continued: "We defeated Guan Ying and destroyed his army. In a short time, Liu Bang's army will not arrive. But as time goes by, Liu Bang's army will definitely go north to Sanshui County. What are your plans next?
of?"
Han Xin looked calm and said: "Guan Ying died in the battle, and the soldiers brought by Guan Ying were almost wiped out. This means that Liu Bang's strength has been weakened to a certain extent. Next, I suggest erecting a tower in Sanshui County
Flag, openly resisting Liu Bang. Anyway, killing Guan Ying this time has broken with Liu Bang, and it is impossible to hide his identity anymore."
Wang Can said: "Exposing your identity, do you expose your identity, or expose my identity?"
Han Xin said without hesitation: "This time the fighting is focused on ministers, and no news about His Majesty's presence in Sanshui County has been leaked. Therefore, from now on, we will only publicize our humble status and not involve Your Majesty."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Both Liu Bang and Lu Zhi want to kill you. What do you think Liu Bang will look like when the news reaches Chengdu?"
Han Xin said: "Of course I am shocked."
The corners of his mouth raised in a confident smile.
At this time, even Han Xin himself felt that the outcome of this battle would definitely shock Liu Bang.
He expected this result.
Wang Can and Han Xin discussed the overall future direction before asking Han Xin to step down, and then began to deal with the internal affairs of Sanshui County, striving to sort out everything in Sanshui County in a short period of time.
…
The news of Guan Ying's death in battle spread quickly.
When Liu Bang's sentinel got the news, he quickly went to Chengdu.
Guan Ying's death in battle is big news.
Chengdu, in the imperial palace.
Liu Bang was in his early fifties. He had a ruffian spirit, but also a very domineering aura. He was wearing a long robe, sitting casually in the palace, handling government affairs.
Today Liu Bang is under great pressure.
In the past, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world. Although Liu Bang was in a disadvantageous position, Xiang Yu was headstrong, self-righteous, and had a strong self-esteem and could not let go of his dignity. In addition, Xiang Yu did not trust his ministers, so Liu Bang finally won.
Nowadays, it is very different.
Whether it is the Shu Kingdom in the north, the Tang Dynasty in Jingzhou, or other countries, the monarchs of any country are all talented and strategic people, and none of them has obvious flaws.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy for Liu Bang to get out of Yizhou and dominate the world. Just like before, he had planned to capture Liangzhou, but it still ended in failure.
Even though Liu Bang had Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and others under his command, he still felt that the situation was not optimistic.
What's more, he never found Han Xin.
In the last life, Liu Bang relied on Han Xin's power to annihilate Xiang Yu and pacify the world. But in this life's situation, he could not rely on Han Xin's power, and Han Xin would even become a hindrance to him, which made Liu Bang very angry.
"Tap! Tread!!"
The sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.
Suddenly, a tall, middle-aged man in his early forties stepped in.
The person who came here has an elegant appearance and the air of a gentleman.
This person is clearly Xiao He.
This is Liu Bang's prime minister, but at this moment, Xiao He's face is full of worry, and there is even a touch of panic. He hurriedly entered the hall, saluted Liu Bang, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
"What happened?" Liu Bang asked.
Liu Bang had a bad premonition in his heart.
Xiao He was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, presiding over the government affairs of the Han Dynasty. He was a person inferior to ten thousand people. His city was extremely deep, and ordinary things would not cause Xiao He to panic.
Xiao He now looked panicked.
Something big must have happened.
Xiao He took a deep breath and said slowly: "News came from Guanghan County in the north. Guan Ying failed to destroy Yingbu, but died in the hands of Han Xin. Yingbu and Han Xin colluded and occupied Sanshui County in the north of Guanghan County. Han Xin
It has never appeared, but now that it appears, it gives us a heavy blow."
Liu Bang's expression suddenly changed.
Unexpectedly, Han Xin appeared.
At this moment, Liu Bang's heart tightened, and his heart was hanging in the air. (To be continued)
