Chapter 061

"King, these are the soldiers I brought. Now they have surrendered to the Chu army. Why do you kill them?" Zhang Han asked in dismay.

"The King Yong doesn't know that these soldiers are not over thousands of people, but they actually want to change. I have already opened the net, and not killing is not enough to establish military power." Xiang Yu sighed, "The Qin officials and soldiers said, "General Zhang and others pretend that I was surrendered to the princes. Now I can enter the pass and defeat Qin, which is a great charity. If I can't, the princes will capture my subordinates and go east, and Qin will kill all my parents and wives. I don't want to kill them. Ji Bu is cruel and ruthless, so I have to give him some face."

"King, Zhang asked to go to the King's name to exchange for the lives of these soldiers, and also ask me Wang Chengquan." Zhang Han knelt down on one knee with tears in his eyes. He really couldn't stand this inhumane massacre.

"Hey, King Yong is such a miserable statement. Please get up quickly-" Xiang Yu hurriedly helped Zhang Han up, "Send the order to stop the killing."

"Thank you, the king." Zhang Han stood up.

The messenger ran to the edge of the big pit and shouted three times: "My king has orders, don't kill again-"

Soon, the Chu army stopped firing arrows, and the soldiers of the other five countries did not stop. The messenger panicked and rode his horse to return to Xiang Yu: "I am the king, but the five teams did not obey the orders and were still slaughtering."

When Xiang Yu heard this, he had a thick eyebrows and a thrust his spear, he jumped onto the black horse: "It's too much. As my order is like the wind in my ears. I pass on our military orders and kill the soldiers of the five countries together to rescue the surrendered soldiers. King Yong, follow me to kill the generals."

"No——" The messenger quickly rushed into the Central Army camp and hurriedly brought 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers from Fan Zeng to help Xiang Yu.

"Stop it all--" Xiang Yu shot one by one, knocking down dozens of princes and soldiers, but he still couldn't stop the crazy Avengers.

"Everyone dies. Kill me--" Xiang Yu rushed into the army of the five countries and assassinated them fiercely.

Seeing that the commander took action, the Chu army raised their spear and rushed into the area of ​​the Five* Team and started to kill. The Jiangdong cavalry also arrived and quickly entered the battlefield.

The soldiers of the five countries were stunned: What's wrong? The Chu army dared to attack us? I don't know who shouted: Fight with them and kill Xiang Yu!

This shout was amazing. The coalition soldiers fought back. Relying on the large number of people, 30,000 to 8,000, they thought they could eat the Chu army, and their bows and crossbows shot at the Chu army one after another.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Han's old commander 10,000 cavalry rushed over from behind and surrounded the coalition forces, catching them off guard, screaming constantly. The coalition forces, who were attacked from both sides, had to force themselves to fight with the Chu army.

Xiang Yu had dozens of arrows, blood stained his battle robe, and he was still continuing to command the battle. Wherever the Overlord's Spear went, he threw a large area. The Overlord Chu was indeed well-known. Zhang Han held up his sword, and the cold light flashed, and his head fell to the ground. The Chu army was deeply inspired, and his morale was greatly boosted, and he rushed towards the coalition forces like a mad lion.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the coalition forces were killed and only dozens of people escaped. So, Xiang Yu and the coalition forces formed a deep hatred. Given that the Qin State had not been destroyed, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and not make any noise.

The surrendered Qin army soldiers in the pit were saved. Thousands of soldiers on dusty faces climbed out of the pit and knelt in front of Xiang Yu together: "Thank you for your kindness of not killing me. I will never forget it."

Xiang Yu waved his hand: "Get up, everything is over. You are the soldiers of our Chu State. I almost made a big mistake. Please accept Xiang's greeting."

Seeing that Xiang Yu had knelt down, the surrendered soldiers lay on the ground and did not dare to get up: "My king Yingming, we should die in order to revive Chu State! My king asked to get up-"

Seeing that his goal of winning people's hearts was achieved, Xiang Yu stood up: "You are frightened. I should cut off my hair to thank the world." He pulled out his sword and cut off a strand of his hair.

"My king Shenwu--" Chu army raised their arms and shouted.

Xiang Yu's move later destroyed Qin and won praise from the people. The 200,000 Qin troops fought on the battlefield without fear and moved forward, especially the battle between the Chu and the Han Dynasty made great contributions in the Battle of Xingyang.

Of course, after suffering a silence, the coalition was very dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's soldiers who strangled them. They spread rumors everywhere that Xiang Yu had killed 200,000 surrendered soldiers of the Qin army. This pair of Xiang Yu was very passive in terms of popularity, so a cold-blooded and ruthless murderer who regarded human life as a mustard was fabricated by the coalition. Liu Laosan and Liu Bang, the village head, was also one of them.

Jiuxiong, Nishino, and Luo Dechang watched the battle for a long time. They agreed that Xiang Yu was a hero of iron and tenderness, but because he was criticized by Liu Bang and others, he was misunderstood by later generations for more than 2,000 years. Alas, everyone's words make gold, and three people become tigers, maybe that's the case.

Xiang Yu ordered the Chu army to clean the battlefield, threw all the bodies of the coalition soldiers into the big pit, and then covered the soil and smoothed it, which was called "Chu pit".

Decades later, "Records of the Grand Historian: The Fourth Moon of the Qin and Chu" records that in November, Yu Bokang killed 200,000 surrendered Qin soldiers in Xin'an, and only joined Zhang Han, Chang Shi Xin, and Duwei Yi in Qin.

According to historical records, it seems that 200,000 surrendered soldiers of the Qin army were killed in the ancient city of Xin'an. Except for the generals Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi, no other surrendered soldiers were left.

Nishino thought this number was questionable: "Since Xiang Yu asked Chief Shi Xin to lead the Qin soldiers to surrender, it proves that the Qin army has accepted the adaptation, not because the weapons were confiscated, but because they were driven forward. In this way, it is not too easy to make 200,000 soldiers disappear overnight."

Luo Dechang said: "The Qin army surrendered may only be part of the Qin army soldiers who followed Zhang Han to surrender and wanted to betray the Qin army soldiers in the middle of the journey. Because in the background at that time, the surrendered army usually had a timid mentality and lacked the courage to fight. When some of their partners were facing killing, no one stood up to really resist. In this way, the surrendered Qin army organization was disrupted, and this 200,000-compliant army would no longer exist."

"In addition, it is not deny that the possibility of falsely reporting the number of killing enemies is not denied. In ancient wars, some generals won the battle and deliberately reported it to the point of seeking credit. How did the surrendered soldiers of the Qin army be killed? There is no detailed record of this brutal killing in history." Jiuxiong was not willing to fall behind...

Xiang Yu returned to the camp with great victory, but Fan Zeng had a dark face and refused to eat toast. Xiang Yu raised his glass several times before Fan Zeng picked up the wine title and said earnestly: "Although the Major General's move won 200,000 people's hearts, he lost the 400,000 people's hearts. It's not worth it. The Chu State will have a hard time going forward."

"Why did Yafu say this?" Xiang Yu asked.

"The princes of the five countries each have their own ulterior motives and want to unify the world. They will definitely slander the major general. If we kill the Qin army, the Qin people will swear to resist to the death and never surrender. Even if they surrender, they will not surrender to the Chu army."

"I am worried about it all, and my father is so serious. I dare to act and take responsibility, so let them talk, don't bother with them." Xiang Yu tried several drinks and blushed, "I killed many people, at most I apologize to the King of Chu."

"No need." Nishino, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, "General Xiang is the real King of Chu, but you must be more careful in the future and do not leave any words to others."

"General Meng's words are reasonable, and I admire them." Fan Zeng finally admitted the existence of Xiye. "General Meng, if Qin State is destroyed, how can he deal with the princes?"

"Meng said boldly that the princes are divided. When the world is settled, their military power will be extremely deprived, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Especially Liu Laosan, this guy who is too big to lose, and you should not take it lightly." Xiye pointed out incisively that he did not like Liu Bang's hooligan appearance the most because he knew that this little civil servant of the Qin Dynasty won the world, married the Xiongnu, gave money and food, and gave beauties, saving the country in a curve, which made the Chinese people shame for sixty or seventy years. Xiye didn't understand, so he chose Liu Bang instead of Xiang Yu for history?

"General Meng is far-sighted, and I also see this. However, the 400,000 coalition forces of the Five-Nation Alliance have become a climate, and it is not easy to deal with them." Fan Zeng sighed.

"What's the difficulty? We can give up the military power with a glass of wine, and we can easily collect the military power in their hands. Then we will continue to use the Qin county system, lighten the taxes and taxes, reduce the burden on the people, rest with the people, and return to the world." The less the West Country, the more excited it is.

"Stop, how to operate the release of military power with a glass of wine?" Xiang Yu listened.

"It is to invite the princes to drink, and then make a polite promise that as long as the military power is handed over, you can give land and houses, so that they can enjoy wealth and glory. Of course, it cannot be a verbal promise. You have to take practical actions to make them willingly go home to retire." Luo Dechang explained.

"Well, this idea is good. What if they don't hand over military power?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Kill-" Jiuxiong said.

"The view of a reckless man." Nishino smiled and said, "Isn't King Yong a friend of the Chu army? He can be asked to hand over the military power first, so how dare the other princes not obey?"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "General Xiang has a rebirth for Zhang, and I will be the first to agree with the matter of depriving military power."

"King Yong, don't be anxious. No matter who I cut off, I can't cut off your military power. If you really want to cut off your military power, you hand it over, and I will have a way to repay you at that time." Xiang Yu chewed the pig's leg.

"If you cut it, you don't need to return it. Zhang just hopes to end the war as soon as possible and give the Chinese people a living environment where they live and work in peace and contentment, that's enough." Zhang Han bowed and thanked.

"Okay." Xiang Yu slapped the table and was very happy. "Then the next day, I will kill you and drink it with you, and get drunk for three days and three nights."

"Thank you, King." All the generals raised their titles together...

That night, the Chu army camp was dimly lit, and the generals drank until dawn to disperse.

Little did he know that Liu Bang, the Prince of Pei, did not stop. He sent people to run around, actively spread rumors and slander, and torture Xiang Yu's reputation, aroused public anger, and the gods were angry, and then he joined forces with the princes to kill the eldest Xiang Yu. The remaining princes and kings were packed up without any effort.
