After Xia Houying returned to the military camp, he went straight to the Chinese army's tent, met Liu Bang, and reported: "Your Majesty, the plan failed. Our soldiers dug holes and were discovered before they reached the tower. Han Xin's army,
When bombarded by the previous weapons, the soil on the ground flew up and the tunnel walls collapsed, making it impossible to dig further."
"hiss!"
Liu Bang took a deep breath and frowned.
This is also very disappointing.
Liu Bang stared at Xia Houying and said in a deep voice: "Xiahou, is there no other way?"
Xia Houying shook his head and said, "No!"
Liu Bang said: "If Han Xin is allowed to stay in Luoxian County, if this continues, there will definitely be more chaos in the Han Dynasty. Especially behind Han Xin, Wang Can is causing trouble. When Han Xin really establishes his foothold in Guanghan County, it will be equal to
It was Wang Can who established his foothold in Guanghan County. Once Wang Can's army moves in, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xia Houying was speechless and looked at Zhang Liang, signaling Zhang Liang to make a rescue.
However, Zhang Liang shook his head.
I had persuaded Liu Bang before, hoping that Liu Bang would ask Li Tang for help, but Liu Bang refused. Under the current circumstances, it is already difficult to encircle and suppress Han Xin by relying on your own strength.
Liu Bang flicked his sleeves and said: "Since there is no other way, let's wait a little longer. Now that it is October, the weather is getting colder. Han Xin is stationed in Luo County and there is not enough food and grass. Once he can't keep up with the food and grass, he will naturally leave the city.
By then, we will have a good opportunity to defeat the enemy."
Xia Houying said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Bang waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go down and hold your troops still for the time being."
"Here!"
Xia Houying and Zhang Liang all responded.
The two of them walked out of the Chinese army's tent. Xia Houying said seriously: "Mr. Zifang, the situation is not good now. You have to persuade His Majesty. If you don't persuade Your Majesty, once the situation gets worse and worse, we will most likely be in trouble."
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty doesn't ask for help, what can I do? You are an old man who follows His Majesty, don't you know His Majesty's nature? Your Majesty is a strong person, and he will not ask for help until the last moment."
"well……"
Xia Houying said: "Hold on, I hope Fan Kuai and Li Shiqi can wipe out the bandits in Bajun soon, and then come to Guanghan County to join forces."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy!"
Zhang Liang shook his head when he heard this.
Xia Houying said: "Mr. Zifang, do you know any news?"
Zhang Liang said: "It's not that I know any news, but Bajun heard that the person who caused the rebellion is Zang Tu. You also know this person. He is also a strong general, not an easy person."
When Xia Houying heard this, his pupils shrank.
Zang Tu was the king of Yan who was once granted by Xiang Yu, and was also one of the vassal kings in the late Qin Dynasty. After Liu Bang took over the power, Zang Tu, Peng Yue, Han Xin and others supported Liu Bang as emperor. When Liu Bang secured his position as emperor,
So Tibetan tea was eradicated.
Zang Tu was reborn and was also causing chaos.
Xia Houying sighed: "Whether it's Han Xin, Peng Yue, Zang Tu, or even some of the others, these are all people who are not easy to deal with. In the past, your majesty was able to get rid of Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Zang Tu one by one.
Others were able to succeed because they had an absolute advantage. Now, it is not easy."
"Indeed!"
Zhang Liang nodded solemnly.
After a pause, Zhang Liang continued: "Actually, I'm not too worried about Zangtu alone. With Fan Kuai and Li Shiqi's abilities, they should be able to handle it. But what I'm worried about is what's behind Han Xin and Peng Yue.
With Shu's intervention, is there no one behind Zang Tu?"
brush!
Xia Houying's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, Xia Houying couldn't help but panic and said: "Mr. Zifang, if this is really the case, I'm afraid things will be dangerous. This matter must be reported to Your Majesty immediately."
Zhang Liang stopped Xia Houying and said: "You want to report to Your Majesty, but where is the evidence? If you tell His Majesty directly without any evidence, it is tantamount to disturbing His Majesty's heart. Furthermore, now that we are being dragged to Luo County, Zhou Bo
Being dragged in Chengdu, we can't allocate troops to help Fan Kuai. What's more, we all still need Fan Kuai's help."
"well……"
Xia Houying sighed again.
He really couldn't think of any other way.
Xia Houying took a deep breath and said seriously: "From now on, I will no longer command large-scale attacks. I will try my best to find opportunities to reverse the occupation. Since there is no other way, we will mainly rely on stalemate."
Zhang Liang said: "That's exactly what it should be!"
…
Bajun, Jiangzhou County.
Jiangzhou is the seat of Bajun. There are 20,000 Han troops stationed in Bajun City.
The leader is clearly Fan Kuai.
Following Liu Bang's order, Fan Kuai set out from Chengdu and rushed to Bajun with his troops. When he arrived at Bajun, he heard the news of Zangtu's rebellion, especially that Zangtu had already invaded near Jiangzhou.
Once Jiangzhou falls, Bajun will be almost finished.
Fan Kuai and Li Shiqi hurried on their way and arrived in Jiangzhou County in the shortest possible time before settling in Jiangzhou and taking charge of the defense of Jiangzhou. While he was in charge of the defense of Jiangzhou, he resisted Zang Tu's attacks several times, making Zang Tu unable to move forward.
further.
In the continuous battles, Fan Kuai's troops did not suffer much loss, but Zang Tu's troops suffered a great loss.
In the city, in the military camp.
Chinese army tent.
Fan Kuai and Li Shiqi were discussing matters.
Both of them are quite optimistic about their current occupation and don't have much worries. Because with the strength that Li Shiqi has shown now, he simply can't take over Jiangzhou County.
Fan Kuai looked at Li Shiqi and said: "Sir, it's been a month or two since we arrived in Jiangzhou County. Now we are all on the defensive. If we continue at this rate, we don't know how long it will take to win and pacify Ba.
County rebellion."
Li Shiqi said: "General, please be patient. The weather is getting colder now. We have enough food and equipment in the city, so we don't have to worry at all. But Zang Tu's troops may not be so strong. They are besieged outside Jiangzhou County.
, without enough supplies, we will eventually fail."
"This is also true!"
Fan Kuai said: "Sir, when do you think it is appropriate for us to fight back?"
"Wait until it gets cold and freezing!"
Li Shiqi said: "The colder the weather, the stronger Zang Tu's army will be. They didn't expect that we had been defending so hard that we suddenly broke out. The best result is that after entering November,
It would be nice to have one or two snows. Although such weather is rare, if it does happen, it would be the most suitable."
In Jiangzhou County, it occasionally snows in some years.
Most of them have never snowed.
After all, it's not the north.
"Report!"
At this time, there were soldiers shouting outside the camp. Immediately, the tent curtain was lifted, and the soldiers entered. They cupped their fists and said, "General, we have sent the battle report from Guanghan County and Shu County."
Fan Kuai waved his hand and said: "Show it to Mr. first!"
The soldier immediately handed it to Li Shiqi. After Li Shiqi read it, he handed it to Fan Kuai, but Fan Kuai waved his hand and said, "Sir, I'm just a bigot. Just tell me, what's the news in the battle report?" (Unfinished)
