Xiang An dismounted silently and walked to Jin Qixiu's side.
"Although I may not be qualified to say this, but"
He leaned down and helped Jin Qi Xiu to caress his eyes, with a slightly sad tone in his tone.
"rest in peace."
===Chapter 920 Eight Tragedy===
The battle of Zhangshui was won by the Western Chu army, which was the second representative victory of the Western Chu army after the great victory in the battle of Julu.
Qin's general Jin Qixiu died on the spot, losing two generals in a row. The Qin army's will to fight completely collapsed, and tens of thousands of people fled.
"Has the number of prisoners been counted?" Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Bo, and he chose to leave this matter to his third uncle.
"The exact number has not yet been calculated, but roughly speaking, there are about 11 people." Xiang Bo patted the bamboo slips recording the message with the back of his hand, frowning, "We don't have enough food."
"Then buy it again. Didn't King Huai's funds come down?"
Xiang Bo didn't come up in one breath, and was almost choked to death by Xiang Yu.
"Buy!" After a long silence, he heard Xiang Bo grit his teeth.
Xiang Lu patted Xiang Bo on the back as comfort, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
"Wang Lijun is still in the north, what should we do?" Zi Juan sat in the first place next to Xiang Yu and glanced at Xiang Yu with a frown.
Even if Wang Lijun has not made any big moves so far, it is undeniable that it is still a big threat.
On the battlefield, there is no certainty, no matter how strong an army is, it will fail, and no matter how weak an army is, weak is weak.
However, it is precisely because of this that the strong should be cautious. Xiang Yu's behavior of leading the army in Julu and Zhang Han to the death is still criticized a lot in private.
"Hit." Xiang Yu leaned forward, his voice unquestionable.
Zi Juan turned her head and looked at Xiang An.
Although Xiang An was demoted, everyone knew that he was still the second-in-command in the army, and his opinions were often different from those of General Xiang Yu.
This may be troublesome for Xiang Yu, but in everyone's opinion, this kind of discussion can better avoid Xiang Yu's existence.
Although in the end, it is basically still based on Xiang Yu's orders.
"I think so too, hit." Xiang An glanced at Xiang Yu, and said something similar to Xiang Yu.
"Ah?" Zi Juan was startled, her eyes turned back and forth between Xiang Yu and Xiang An, and she didn't know who to look at for a while.
Mainly because the situation of the two brothers is really not quite right during this time.
Xiang An shook his head helplessly: "Little Si, there is another reason for my eldest brother's dispute. How can I argue again on such a crucial matter."
"Unlike Zhang Han and Jin Qixiu, the possibility of these two betraying the Qin Dynasty is not small, but they did not choose to betray in the end." Xiang Yu glanced at Xiang An and continued, "But Wang Li is different."
"Wang Li can't betray, and his army is even less likely to betray."
"Wang Li's ancestors have been generals of the Qin state for generations. Although he did not inherit the ability and vision of his ancestors, he still inherited the backbone of his ancestors." Xiang An took Xiang Yu's words. "Since he can't surrender to us, there is only one way left."
"It's almost like this, the generals will obey orders!" Xiang Yu stood up and waved his orders.
"The end is here!"
Julu and Zhangshui have won consecutive battles, the morale of the Chu army is at a high stage, and the generals are also in high spirits.
"Prepare to continue the war! After ten days, destroy the king!"
"The last will obey!"
On the tenth day, the Chu army who had just ended the Battle of Zhangshui was recharged.
Those Qin troops captured by Xiang Yu have completely lost their character. Xiang Yu sent people to find the few remaining generals and tried to incorporate these Qin troops. The process went smoothly. After all, most of the troops under Zhang Han were originally They were all executed inmates who were building the Epang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum.
Now that Zhang Han is dead, and Jin Qixiu, who succeeded the general, is also dead. Those who have lost their followers will naturally seek new ones.
However, although these people were recruited, they immediately plunged into the war before they were released.
But even so, the strength of Xiang Yu's troops is as large as 15.
Xiang An's army returned, new reinforcements from the vassal states behind him, and some scattered troops were incorporated along the way. The number of Xiang Yu's soldiers expanded very quickly.
This battle is not like the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Zhangshui, which ended so quickly, but because the battle line was stretched too long, it took two full days before the curtain came to an end.
The Chu army was victorious once again, without a doubt.
This time, neither Xiang Yu nor Xiang An made any efforts. The injuries left in the battle of Julu a while ago have not yet fully recovered, and the greatest strength they exerted was the level of Xiang An during the Battle of Zhangshui, which was not enough to control the battlefield.
Like Zhang Han and Jin Qixiu, Wang Li did not die in the battle. He was shot and dismounted by Zijuan in the frontal battle. Now he was captured alive, locked in a wooden cage, and guarded by Xiang Yu.
"So? We have 20 more prisoners." Standing beside Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo looked at the kneeling Qin soldiers in front of him with a mocking smile, "What are you going to do, General?"
"Our grain and grass, if we want to feed another 20 people, or 20 people who fought in the war, it is a fantasy."
Xiang Yu stood on a high place, hugging his chest, without saying a word, just looking at the 20 Qin prisoners.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Xiang An.
Xiang An sat beside Xiang Yu's feet, his chin resting on his knees, his eyes darkened.
Persuade to surrender?let go?It's impossible. These soldiers are all loyal to Qin. Did not see that there are still riots and soldiers want to break free from their shackles. If they let go, these Qin troops will definitely be entangled again and come to disrupt the position of the Chu army.
So, the answer is actually pretty clear.
Even Xiang An couldn't think of any better way to deal with these difficult Qin soldiers.
"Brother." Xiang An raised his head, but closed his eyes.
He called out and stood up.
Sometimes it's time to be tough.
"It's up to you."
After saying this, Xiang An turned around and left, leaving only Xiang Yu's back.
Xiang Yu showed a satisfied smile.
Xiang An has already given his answer, which is enough.
"I still don't know enough about you, second brother."
Xiang Yu shook his head, his eyes suddenly becoming ruthless and indifferent.
"Third uncle, let's do it."
"Okay, that's what you said." Xiang Bo swallowed.
The second day of the first lunar month.
Xiang Yu did something that shocked the Central Plains on a plain in the north of Zhangshui.
The 20 Qin troops he will capture—
Kill all.
===Chapter 920 The Death of Emperor Qin II===
External rumors and rumors have nothing to do with the internal Chu army.
Although Xiang Yu's decision was bloody, it was helpless, and it was the only way to deal with those captives.
Both Xiang An and Zijuan agreed to this decision.
The 20 Qin soldiers needed money to eat, drink, and scatter, and it was impossible for these Qin soldiers to have even the slightest favorable feedback on the Chu army.Moreover, it cannot be let go, and it is impossible to persuade them to surrender.
At this time, killing was the only option.
The biggest obstacle has disappeared, and the Chu army led by Xiang Yu can finally officially push westward and compete against Liu Jilai.
At this time, Xianyang was slightly in a panic.
It has been three months since the Battle of Zhangshui. Since the past three months, Wuguan Road and Hanguan Road have been called "frequent good news".
Liu Jijun walked along the Danshui and had already entered Wuguan, and Xiang Yu's army was also under the Hangu Pass.
"Teacher, Taifu, now—what should we do now?" Hu Hai was completely panicked, hunched over, leaned beside Zhao Gao, and asked tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, first - take it slow, let me think about it, let me think about it" Zhao Gao dipped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
Although he was talking about trying to find a way, but Zhao Gao - what can Zhao Gao do?
He has a knack for deceitful and deceitful, and he can't count the number of people who manage the country and peace, and now he has to march to fight
"Anyway, first, send a letter to Liu Ji first." He called out a little eunuch, but he passed over Hu Hai and gave an order directly, "To persuade Liu Ji to surrender, just say—that I am willing to share Guanzhong with him, I just ask him to fight Xiang Yu with my Daqin army at Tongguan."
Hu Hai was immediately stunned: "Tai, Taifu!? This is absolutely impossible, Taifu!"
"This is my Great Qin!? You, how can you share my Great Qin with others!?" He exclaimed and left Zhao Gao for a distance.
Zhao Gao was also a little irritable listening to Hu Hai's sharp voice.
He stood up, his eyes slightly cold.
"Your Majesty, it is no longer your Great Qin."
Looking at the 24-year-old Hu Hai, Zhao Gao said slowly.
"What?" Hu Hai froze in place, looking at Zhao Gao's familiar and old face, as if struck by lightning.
Zhao Gao didn't answer any more, just flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
"Tao-Taofu!" Hu Hai stared at him and was about to chase after him, but a person suddenly came out of the door of the hall and stopped Hu Hai.
"Your Majesty, it's better for you not to leave this hall."
Hu Hai turned around and took a closer look.
"Yan Le?"
This person is quite familiar to him. When he is having fun in the palace, he often calls some ministers to drink together. This Yan Le is one of them. He is Zhao Gao's son-in-law, and he is considered a high-ranking person.
But now, the smile when drinking is gone.
