The most powerful fool system

　On the other side, after Wang Yong retreated from the city of Du County, he quickly went north along the Zhi Road, crossed the Wei River, and returned to Xianyang City.

　"Prime Minister, this general didn't listen to your words, so that he lost his troops and lost his general. I will apologize to you."

　Two days later, after Wang Yong returned to Xianyang with the remnants of the Qin Army with less than 4000 people, he took the initiative to ask Zhuge Liang to plead guilty and said.

　"You don't have to blame yourself, Taiwei, it's good if you can come back."

　Zhuge Liang helped Wang Yong up and comforted him.

　"If it wasn't for the prime minister's ingenious plan this time to send someone to set up a backup at the north gate of Du County in advance, I am afraid that the general will not be able to come back.

　Because of this general's carelessness, thousands of soldiers were damaged, and I am ashamed of His Majesty's entrustment. "

　Wang Yong said regretfully.

　After these things, Wang Yong admired Zhuge Liang even more, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said: "Prime Minister, from now on, this general will follow your command and will never make decisions without arrogance."

　"Taiwei is serious, you are the commander of the army in Xianyang City.

　The truth is just to give some suggestions to the general, and the defense of Xianyang still needs the efforts of the general and all the soldiers. "Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Chapter 51 Liu Bang's Decision

　51 Liu Bang's Decision

　[New book please recommend for collection! 】

　On November 21, Qin II, Liu Bang led the army into Guanzhong for almost ten days. At this time, they conquered Du County and stayed in Du County for two days.

　For the past two days, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang have been waiting for the information from the scouts they sent out.

　At the same time, Zhang Liang also received a report from a spy lurking in Xianyang, and learned that the person sitting in Xianyang at this time was the new prime minister Zhuge Liang, and the new Taiwei Wang Yong.

　"Report, Peigong, the scouts sent to Lantian have returned.

　The scout said that there were not only no people in the city, but even no guards, and the whole city was abandoned by the Qin people. "

　Liu Bang was also surprised when he received the news.

　"The new prime minister from the Qin Dynasty has a lot of courage. Lantian is such a big city. If you say you give up, you will give up?"

　Even Xiao He felt incredible.

　"Hey, this person is not only courageous, but also has a vicious vision, and he has long seen the biggest weakness of our army.

　If it is as expected, this person has probably given up the entire territory south of the Weishui River, and moved all the people south of the Weishui River.

　In this way, even if we take down Du County, Lantian and other cities, it will be of no use at all.

　They just need to drag the time until the midwinter arrives, when the temperature drops sharply and we, who are short of food and clothing, will definitely withdraw our troops.

　After we withdraw, all these cities and sites will return to the hands of the Qin people.

　The current situation, for us, is simply unsolvable.

　Peigong, this time we attack Xianyang, I am afraid that we will return without success. "

　Zhang Liang looked a little lonely at this moment, sighed, and said to Liu Bang.

　Because at this time, Zhang Liang felt a sense of frustration. Facing Zhuge Liang's tactic of clearing the walls and delaying time, he found that there was no way to break it.

　Such a situation cannot be resolved by manpower. Zhang Liangkong has thousands of strategies, and there is nowhere to display them at this time.

　"Report!"

　Soon, the scouts sent out by Liu Bang reported back one after another.

　Sure enough, as Zhang Liang guessed, from Du County to the north, all the way to Weishuibian, all the villages within dozens of miles, without exception, all the people were relocated.

　"Pei Gong, across the Wei River, we saw a large number of Qin troops stationed on the opposite side. They relied on the Wei River to build a line of defense."

　A general said to Liu Bang.

　"Pei Gong, what should we do now?

　The food and grass of the army are only used for 20 days, whether to advance or retreat, please express it clearly. "

　Xiao He stood up and said to Liu Bang.

　Now, the situation has become very obvious.

　As Zhang Liang guessed, Zhuge Liang gave up all the territory south of the Wei River, exchanged space for time, and moved all the people here, cutting off Liu Bang's desire to replenish food and grass on the spot.

　This also means that Liu Bang led the army to continue northward until they reached the Wei River, and they would not encounter any obstacles, nor would they get a grain of food.

　And Weishui will be the place where they will fight the Qin army.

　Because, after crossing the Wei River, we arrived in Xianyang.

　At this time, with the food in Liu Bang's army, they only had 20 days.

　If Liu Bang chooses to continue northward to attack Xianyang, they must cross the Wei River in 20 days, defeat the main force of the Qin army, and then conquer Xianyang City.

　Once Liu Bang chooses to continue to attack, they will have no way out.

　If Xianyang cannot be conquered, the tens of thousands of soldiers under their command will starve to death.

　At this moment, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Guan Ying, Fan Kui and other generals under Liu Bang's command all looked at him, waiting for Liu Bang to make a decision.

　Fight or retreat!

　Liu Bang paced back and forth in the big tent. How could such a difficult decision be made easily.

　After a while, Liu Bang stopped abruptly, with a look of determination in his eyes, he pulled out a sword hanging next to him in a 'bass', and slashed down on the wooden case on the side.

　Peng!

　The wooden case was cut off by Liu Bang with his sword. Liu Bang was excited and shouted loudly: "In the past, Xiang Yu was able to defeat the Qin army in Julu.

　Today, we have already fought here, how can we retreat.

　20 days is enough.

　Within 20 days, this Marquis will lead you across the Wei River, defeat the Qin army, and enter Xianyang City.

　Do not destroy Xianyang, do not destroy the tyranny of Qin, and vow not to give up.

　All generals, would you like to fight with me! "

　At this moment, Liu Bang raised his sword high, with a resolute expression and bright eyes, swept across Zhang Liang, Fan Kui, Guan Ying and others, and roared.

　"I am willing to fight with Pei Gong, and I will never give up until Xianyang is destroyed."

　Guan Ying, Fan Kui, Wang Ling and other generals knelt down on one knee, and their emotions were also infected by Liu Bang. They were very excited and shouted loudly.

　"Haha, since Peigong has decided to fight, Zifang will follow him to the death!"

　Zhang Liang was also surprised that Liu Bang made such a decision, but then expressed his opinion.

　"Xiao He is also willing to swear to the death to assist Pei Gong and destroy the Tyrant Qin." Xiao He also expressed his opinion.

　"Okay, order the three armies to send troops to the Weishui River tomorrow morning, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army."

　Liu Bang's eyes were burning, and he gave an order.

　"No." All the generals responded in unison.

　In fact, Zhang Liang did not quite support Liu Bang's decision in his heart.

　After all, it is not so difficult to invade Xianyang within 20 days.

　Once they can't do it, they will lose without a fight, and even lose the chance to escape back to Hanzhong and make a comeback. This risk is a bit big.

　But at this time, Liu Bang had already made such a decision, and Zhang Liang could not stand up to oppose it.

　After all, Zhang Liang was just a counselor, and the decision to fight or retreat was in Liu Bang's hands.

　It was rare that Liu Bang's domineering side leaked once, and it also dispelled the thought of his generals withdrawing their troops.

　Soon, Liu Bang led the army to leave Du County, and marched north to Xianyang along the Zhi Road.

　Two days later, on November 23, Liu Bang led the army to camp on the south bank of the Weishui River, and confronted the main force of the Qin army of more than [-] led by Wang Yong across the river.

　"Cut wood, cross the river!"

　At this time, for Liu Bang and the others, time is life.

　After Liu Bang arrived at the south bank of the Weishui River, without hesitation, he immediately issued an order to his subordinates to cut down trees, make rafts, and forcefully cross the Weishui River.

　"Report, General, the rebels have arrived on the other side."

　"Well, I see it."

　At this time, on the north bank of the Wei River, Wang Yong also found Liu Bang's army appearing on the south bank in the camp of the Qin army.

　"Liu Bang, I didn't expect you to have the guts to call, it seems that Ben will underestimate you.

　Come on, I'd like to see if you have the ability to cross the Wei River. "

　Wang Yong looked at Liu Bang's army on the other side of the river with a solemn expression on his face, and was also very worried about the upcoming battle.

　After all, the biggest reliance on Qin Jun's side is this natural moat, the Weishui River.

　As for the soldiers of the Qin army, most of them are recruits who have just completed training, and their combat capabilities are worrying.

　Although these recruits of the Qin army had completed their training, most of them had never seen blood.

　Under such circumstances, Wang Yong had to use more than 20 Qin troops to block Liu Bang's more than [-] troops in Weishui for at least [-] days, which is quite difficult.

Chapter 52

　52 Strong crossing the Wei River

　[New book please recommend for collection!already edited. 】

　"Tell Pei Gong that the rafts are almost ready, and there are [-] rafts in total."

　"Tell Pei Gong that a suitable crossing point has been found.

　From ten miles upstream to ten miles downstream, there are seven places with gentle currents suitable for crossing the river. "

　"Tell Pei Gong that the soldiers are ready to cross the river at any time."

　In the early morning of November 26, two days had passed since Liu Bang led the army to the south bank of the Weishui River.

　In the past two days, Liu Bang did not immediately order to cross the Wei River to attack.

　After all, there is no bridge on the Wei River, and they can't build a pontoon bridge. They can only build rafts to cross the river, and building rafts takes time.

　During this period, Liu Bang also followed Zhang Liang's suggestion and sent people to the upper and lower reaches of the Weishui River to find suitable crossing points, and he found quite a few.

　The main reason is that in November at this time, the era of the northern land has entered winter, most of the rivers have entered the dry season, and the water flow has been greatly reduced, so so many suitable places to cross the river can be found.

　"Pei Gong, come and have a look. These are the places found by Wang Ling and the others. They are suitable places for our soldiers to cross the river. They are mainly distributed in these seven places."

　Zhang Liang spread out a piece of white silk, on which a map of Guanzhong in the Xianyang area was outlined with simple lines.

　At this time, Zhang Liang used his fingers to point at seven places in the upper and lower reaches of the Wei River, and Liu Bang, Xiao He and others looked over.

　"Pei Gong, one of the seven crossing points found by Wang Ling is here, and it is also the most suitable place for crossing the river. The water flow is the most gentle, and the river here is not deep.

　Because of this, the Qin army camped on the opposite side to prevent us from crossing the river from here.

　In addition to where we are now, within ten miles upstream, there are two places where the river can be crossed, but the river is relatively turbulent.

　Within ten miles downstream, there are four places suitable for crossing the river, but after crossing the river there, there is a dense forest, which is inconvenient for marching. It is not suitable for large troops to cross the river, but it is suitable for small groups of people to cross the river.

　Therefore, Zifang thinks that we mainly use this place as the main place to cross the river.

　For the other six places, we can select one or two and send a small group of people across to surprise the Qin army. "

　Zhang Liang explained to Liu Bang and the others.

　"Zi Fang is thoughtful, since that's the case, then give the order to cross the river."

　Liu Bang nodded. At this time, they had no other choice. Forcing across the Wei River as soon as possible and rushing to Xianyang was their only way out.

　"Zifang, I will leave it to you to command the next battle. We must cross the Wei River as soon as possible, defeat the Qin army on the north bank of the Wei River, and head to Xianyang."

　Liu Bang also knew that his abilities were limited, and it was most appropriate for Zhang Liang to command such a critical moment of battle.

　"Promise." Zhang Liang did not refuse, and agreed.

　"Guanying listens to orders."

　Immediately, Zhang Liang picked up a command arrow, looked at Guan Ying at the side, and shouted.

　"Guanying is here."
