Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 216

With the suicide of Zhou Wen and a large number of soldiers, this offensive and defensive battle ended with an unexpected ending for both sides.

Zhang Han came to the battlefield, found Zhou Wen's body, bowed to Zhou Wen, and said to his subordinates with a gloomy face: "Bury him and the corpses of his soldiers together, and erect a monument for them, called the Tomb of Martyrs." .”

Xuanyi still admired Zhou Wen's Zhang Chujun. After the general committed suicide, no one was willing to surrender and committed suicide.This is the first time Xuanyi has heard of such a scene in the army for many years. If it is true, although the number of Zhou Wen’s army is small at the end of the battle, there are still thousands of people. The scene of thousands of people committing suicide together not only stunned Xuanyi , Even the soldiers of the Qin army who were fighting on the front line did not dare to take action.Many Qin soldiers had tears in their eyes after the battle, regretting that they beheaded the enemy on the battlefield.

In Xuan Yi's heart, Zhang Han's actions are considered acceptable, and this kind of army should be respected.So when Zhang Han issued the order, Xuanyi's first command moved the corpses and dug a big pit.Zhang Han looked at Xuanyi's positive appearance with a sullen face, and didn't say much, but went straight back to his tent.

Zhang Han was a little surprised by Zhou Wen's temporary move. In the end, none of Zhou Wen's army of more than a thousand people surrendered, and all of them committed suicide. What a shocking scene it was. Although Zhang Han was not present at the scene , but it can also be imagined.This was a huge blow to the morale of the Qin army attacking the city. Zhang Han knew that in the era of rampant loyalty, he would always have a pimple in his heart when he killed a righteous man. This would make the soldiers fearful in future battles, and their combat effectiveness would be certain. And influence.

Zhang Han cursed secretly: "This Zhou Wen, even in death has to play tricks."

But it is said that after Sha Pojun emptied the entire Anyi City, he led the Liangshan Army towards Xianyang.On the way, Sha Pojun got the news of Zhou Wen's death. He was a little regretful. He really wanted to rescue Zhou Wen. After all, it would be beneficial to have one more ally. Han's rear made some small moves, and now Zhang Han has been cut off for several years, as well as other military supplies, making Zhang Han's marching powerless.Sha Pojun also admired Zhang Han's decisiveness, and even made up his mind to attack Zhou Wen. So far, he has not received any loss report from Zhang Han's army, but what is certain is that the loss is not small.

Kuai Che also saw this battle report, and was very sad about Zhou Wen's death, especially the news that the last thousand soldiers committed suicide, which moved Kuai Che a little, and passed the information to Li Zuoche, persuading him: "Zuo Che , I finally know why you care so much about Zhou Wen, not only you, but even his subordinates are willing to die for him, it is really a rare famous general throughout the ages."

After Li Zuoche read the information, he was heartbroken. He felt that he was incompetent and could not help Zhou Wen. He choked up and said, "General Zhou is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. I didn't expect to end up like this. Zhang Han and I are at odds."

Jin Zi interjected: "We have raided Anyi by surprise, emptied Anyi's grain, grass, and military equipment, and even the city defenses. We have wiped out Anyi, which Zhang Han valued, and we have forged an endless feud. inevitable fact."

Sha Pojun slapped Jin Zi on the head, reprimanded: "Speak less." Then he said to the sad Li Zuoche: "Don't worry! We will avenge Zhou Wen."

Li Zuoche could only nod his head and replied, "My lord, I'm just a little sad. I didn't expect that Brother Zhou Wen still couldn't make it through."

"Only a great general can stop that scene." Jin Zi complained from time to time.

Sha Pojun frowned, he was afraid that Li Zuoche would be overwhelmed!Recently, Li Zuoche's thoughts have been on rescuing Zhou Wen. In fact, Sha Pojun didn't think about it that way. At first he wanted to rescue Zhou Wen. Later, his consideration was more on how to weaken Zhang Han, and finally wiped him out in one fell swoop.The facts were indeed as expected by Sha Pojun. Sha Pojun's Liangshan army first cut off the food road, and then took down Anyi. This can be regarded as an explanation to Zhou Wen, who had helped Liangshan army. The food road of the Qin army was broken.Later, after Sha Po's army emptied Anyi, he led Liangshan's army to attack Xianyang, just to make Zhang Han's army move.Sha Po's army also sent people to pay attention to the actions of Xiang Liang's army. Sure enough, Xiang Liang's army pushed towards Qin, and had already captured many counties in Qin. Although they did not approach Xianyang, they were not far away.

Sha Pojun secretly thought that Zhang Han must be under a lot of pressure now. Without the supply of food and grass, he would have no choice but to retreat all the way to Qin.Zhao Gao would definitely not make it easy for him if he returned to Qin, but at the time of hiring, he might be sent to quell the rebellion of Xiang Liang's army.As for why it is not the Liangshan Army of the Sha Po Army, because the Sha Po Army decided to take the team to the Great Wall of Qin after looting the counties and counties around Xianyang, subdue the remaining Great Wall Army, and then drive to Zhaodi to take down another wavelength city military.For this reason, Sha Pojun specially sent people to Liangshan to recruit Wang Li and Meng Tian.

With these two men, it would be no problem to take down the Great Wall Army guarding the border. As for the Great Wall Army attacking Zhaodi, it would have to rely on heart attack and battle.Sha Pojun felt that only a small part of the Great Wall army that attacked Zhao's land might be bought by Zhao Gao, and sending people to persuade them might cause the opponent's mutiny, so that they could break up without attacking themselves. Under the shadow of the Liangshan army, after defeating them at that time, it will be very easy to subdue them.

While Sha Pojun was considering his future strategy, Li Zuoche was still in grief, and the much better generals Kuai Che and Han Xin kept trying to persuade him.Li Zuoche pondered for a long time and decided to put aside his sorrow for the time being and wait for the opportunity to carry Zhang Han's head to pay homage to Zhou Wen in the future.

"Brother Zuoche, I heard that Zhang Han set up a martyr's tomb for Zhou Wen and the others. It seems that Zhang Han didn't mean to insult them. Zhou Wen and his colleagues can have a resting place after death. This should be considered a good ending. You must know that when two armies fight, the victor will not set up a monument for the loser. In most cases, the loser's body is difficult to preserve, and the head and even body parts will be dismembered by the enemy soldiers to receive credit." Kuai Che said with a heavy heart. Said to Li Zuoche in a slightly rejoicing tone.

Li Zuoche also knew this truth, sighed and said: "I also think this way of dying is a respect for the deceased, but I just resent my own limited ability, and when Brother Zhou Wen is in danger, I can't give him anything effective. s help."

At this time, Sha Pojun patted Li Zuoche's shoulder and said: "You can remember the risk of meeting people for the first time, which shows that you have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, but you must remember that this is a battlefield, a battlefield where you live and die! Kill Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen will kill Zhang Han, it is such a simple truth, I hope you can calm down."

Li Zuoche suddenly came to his senses, and broke out in a cold sweat, only to realize that he was from Liangshan, not from Zhou Wen, so sad for Zhou Wen, wouldn't it make the lord unhappy.So, he bowed his hands again and again and said: "Thank you, my lord, from now on, I will definitely let go of Zhou Wen's hatred and serve my lord wholeheartedly."

Sha Pojun looked at Li Zuoche and said with a smile, "Didn't you before?"

Li Zuoche was sweating profusely, his mind cleared up instantly, and he bowed to Sha Pojun again: "I have always been from Liangshan."

Sha Pojun nodded in satisfaction. For some things, it is unnecessary to make the problem so rigid. He thinks that Li Zuoche will definitely pay attention to it in the future.
