Chapter 246 Zhang Di Linzi Rescues the King of Chu

Chapter 245: Zhang Di Forcibly Breaks into Linzi
With the killing of Long Chuan, Long Ao, Song Yu, and Liu Gao, Zang Ci, Cao Jian, Xiang Wei and others were among the surrendered generals of Western Chu in this rebellion, as well as more than ten thousand surrendered soldiers of Western Chu. He ordered Jia Biao and Wu Lie to deal with these people quickly.

And Zhang Di, who had been doing nothing all the time, was overjoyed when he learned that the Long family brothers had brought a group of Western Chu soldiers and generals to rebel, so he brought a few soldiers to the city gate, killed a few defenders, Then he left the city and went all the way to Ban County.

Without the Long family brothers, Zang Ci, Cao Jian, Xiang Wei and others were alone. In the end, Zang Ci and Cao Jian died in the hands of Wu Lie, while Xiang Wei died in the hands of Jia Biao, who joined the Long family brothers in rebellion The soldiers who surrendered from Western Chu were also ordered to be strangled by Han Qing, leaving no one behind. In this battle, more than 7 soldiers from Western Chu were killed, and more than [-] soldiers from the Qi army in the city also died, many of whom died in the army from Western Chu. During the counterattack, only [-] people remained in Leling City, which had [-] troops, but Han Qing thought it was worth it. Without these troops and generals, it would be easier to defend the city.

On the other hand, when Wu Lie was searching the city for the fish that escaped the soldiers from Western Chu, he found that Zhang Di had escaped. Wu Lie felt bad, so he hurriedly informed Han Qing about it.

When Han Qing heard it, he also felt very bad. After all, he had just experienced the chaos of surrendering soldiers and generals in Western Chu, and Han Qing's distrust of Song and Chu's surrendered generals became even stronger. Han Qing was very puzzled, Zhang Di had no soldiers or generals around him, where could he go alone.

After thinking for a while, Han Qing was shocked suddenly, and said, "What the hell, Zhang Di must have gone to Ban County."

"Ban County? Why did Zhang Di go there?" Wu Lie was also very puzzled, why Zhang Di suddenly ran out of Leling to Ban County.

Han Qingdao: "There are [-] Eastern Chu soldiers and generals in Banxian County. Zhang Di must be going to summon the old troops. Hurry up and send someone to intercept Zhang Di and bring him back. If he can't be brought back, he will be killed on the spot. .”

"Here!" Wu Lie also felt that something was wrong, so he went down and dispatched the few cavalry in the city to chase and kill Zhang Di, but Zhang Di had already run away at this time, how could the cavalry of the Qi army catch up to him? of.

It is said that after Zhang Di left Leling, he ran all the way west. Leling is not far from Banxian County. Zhang Di hurried on and arrived at Banxian County before dawn.

Chun Yuci was in charge of guarding Ban County. He was a veteran of the Qi State. He was loyal and treated Zhang Di and other Song and Chu generals better. Seeing that Zhang Di came here suddenly, it was strange, so he came out and asked: "General Zhang isn't in Leling, why did he come to Ban County?"

Zhang Dishun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "General Chunyu, the general heard that the Zhao army planned to attack Ande and Pingyuan by force, and was worried about the lack of troops in the two places, so he ordered me to come and lead our troops to Ande and Pingyuan to help in the battle. This is a handwritten letter. "

Zhang Di showed Chunyu Ci a forged copy of Zhao Xin's handwritten letter. As for why Zhang Di had Zhao Xin's handwritten handwritten letter, it was thanks to Chen Ding. It's pretty good, so I saw a lot of Han Qing's handwriting from Chen Ding, and after a long time, I can imitate one or two, plus Chun Yuci's old eyesight is dim, and it's only dawn, the sky is not yet fully bright , Chunyuci couldn't see clearly.

After Chunyuci read the handwriting and confirmed that there was no problem, he took Zhang Di into the city. As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Di demanded to lead the troops immediately on the grounds that the war was urgent and could not be delayed. Chunyuci did not doubt it, so he called a crowd The soldiers and generals of Eastern Chu left with Zhang Di, and all the generals of Eastern Chu were also very confused, but when they saw Zhang Di himself, they left together without saying anything.

Less than half an hour after Zhang Di left, the Qi army cavalry who came to chase Zhang Di arrived. Chun Yuci was very surprised why so many people came to Ban County on this day. I mean, it was not Han Qing's intention to lead the troops away this time. Chunyuci was fooled by snoring, but Zhang Di had already left for half an hour. go out.Not necessarily Zhang Di's opponent, Chun Yuci had no choice but to write a letter in hand, and the cavalry brought it back to Han Qing.

After Han Qing saw Chunyuci's handwriting and learned that Zhang Di had taken away all the soldiers and generals from Eastern Chu, Han Qing felt bad, but he wondered what Zhang Di wanted to do with these people, so So all the scouts in the general were sent out to find out Zhang Di's purpose.

At this time, Zhang Di had led his troops to the Yellow River and was looking for boats to cross the river. A group of generals headed by Jiang Zi asked Zhang Di the purpose of the trip.

Only then did Zhang Di say: "I don't know, everyone. Last night, the brothers of the Long family and a group of generals colluded with the Zhao army to cause chaos. They were already killed by Han Qing, and more than [-] people under his command were also strangled by the Qi army."

"What!" Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect such a big thing to happen overnight, but it had nothing to do with Zhang Di leading his troops away, so they asked what Zhang Di meant.

Zhang Didao: "Everyone, it was really helpless to descend to Qi in the first place, just to save the life of the king. Now that the state of Qi is in danger, it is a good opportunity for us to revive the great Chu. We planned to go to Linzi to rescue the king first, and then go to Linzi to rescue the king together. Return to Pengcheng and rebuild Great Chu."

After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to the most senior Zong Yuan. Zong Yuan smiled bitterly, and then said: "General Zhang, of course we are willing to revive the Great Chu, but we only have 5 people, even if we return When we arrive at Pengcheng, Qi will attack again in the future, how can we stop it?"

Everyone nodded, expressing their agreement. This is the biggest problem. How could the Qi State watch the Chu State restore the country? With their current strength, how could they stop the Qi army.

Zhang Di obviously has a plan in mind, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, all the troops of Qi State are now concentrated on the northern front to fight against Zhao Jun. After a few years, he has no time to trouble us. Yes, besides, you have forgotten that the former king had an alliance with Deng, but now Deng dominates the south and is powerful, we can seek help from Deng, with Deng here, what can Zhao Qi do to me?"

Everyone thought about it, and they all felt that what Zhang Di said was very reasonable. They were all descendants of the generals of the Chu State, and they were subject to Chu En. They had no choice but to surrender to Qi. In addition, in the past few years, the people of Qi have treated them The contempt and exclusion made them disheartened, and once Deng Guo's support was obtained, it is not impossible to restore the country, so they all gritted their teeth and said: "It's up to the general to decide." The general is Zhang Di. When he was in Eastern Chu, everyone called him a general, expressing their approval of Zhang Di's actions.

Zhang Di was overjoyed and said: "Okay, since that's the case, after crossing the river, we will go straight to Linzi, rescue the king, and return to Pengcheng together to revive the Great Chu!"

After Zhang Di crossed the river with more than 17 people, he headed east all the way and went straight to Linzi. On June [-], Qianyuan [-], Zhang Di led his troops to Linzi City, which scared the king of Qi who was the palace. broken.

Outside Linzi City, Zhang Di led 1 soldiers and horses to garrison outside the city. The gates of Linzi City were closed tightly, and the defenders on the city were trembling. Because they had to support the frontline war, there were only 5 soldiers and horses left in Linzi City. There are 1 troops defending the city, and it is not easy to capture [-] people, but most of the [-] people in Linzi are recruits, and the elite of Qi are all on the front line of the plain.

"General, why didn't you attack the city?" After arriving in Linzi City, Zhang Di didn't attack the city immediately, but sent people into the city to meet King Qi, which puzzled all the generals.

Zhang Di smiled and said: "There are [-] Qi troops stationed in Linzi City, which cannot be breached in a short period of time, and if the Qi people jumped over the wall in a hurry, it might hurt the king's family. Let the Qi people send the king to the city in person. Come out."

"Personally send the king out? Will the king of Qi do this?" Zong Yuan was a little puzzled. After all, the king of Qi is also the king of a country, the overlord of the Central Plains, how could he be threatened?
Zhang Di smiled mysteriously and said: "Yes, King Qi will definitely."

In the Palace of King Qi, the King of Qi is frantically summoning his ministers to discuss.

King Qi said: "Masters, tell me, what is Zhang Di's purpose here?"

Shang Rong, the Prime Minister of Qi State, came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Di sent people into the city to say that he is only here to pick up Xiang Kuang's family. As long as Your Majesty can send Xiang Kuang's family out of the city, he will not harm Linzi's soldiers and civilians." Every penny."

"Receive Xiang Kuang? Zhang Di came here with such great fanfare, just to pick up Xiang Kuang?" King Qi was surprised. Zhang Di suddenly left the front line and came here with great fanfare to pick up Xiang Kuang's family?This made King Qi dumbfounded.

"My lord, what should we do?" Shang Rong asked.

King Qi thought for a while and said, "Give Xiang Kuang's family back to them. No matter what Zhang Di's purpose is, the current Linzi City can't afford to lose it. It's better not to take such a risk."

"Here!" Shang Rong replied.

King Qi sent someone to send Xiang Kuang's family out of the city. After Zhang Di picked up Xiang Kuang's family, he went all the way south to Pengcheng.

And Han Qing, who was far away in Leling, was relieved when he learned about this. Fortunately, Zhang Di did not lose his mind and killed King Qi directly. Zhang Di broke into Linzi, rescued Xiang Kuang's family, and went all the way south, so that Han Qing finally knew Zhang Di's intentions. He wanted to return to Pengcheng and rebuild Chu, but Han Qing couldn't control so much now. Brothers and other soldiers from Western Chu were killed, and Zhang Di led his troops away. In addition to the soldiers and horses who died in the battle of Leling and Ge, the strength of the Qi army was reduced by 13. This is terrible, so Han Qing hurriedly wrote to the king of Qi, asking for reinforcements.
