Originally, Zhang Liang sent someone to Yan State as a lobbyist, trying to persuade the King of Yan to cooperate with Xiang Yu in the north to give Han Xin a burnt outside and tender inside. It would be better to give a spoonful of Qin troops from Zhao.

But Han Xin had long expected that Xiang Yu would attack Yan State to strictly order the military to be martial law and investigate and punish people. Zhang Liang's lobbyist had just entered Zhao territory, but was taken by Han Xin's people, including Zhang Liang's inflammatory letter, which was completely in Han Xin's control.

Han Xin immediately killed Zhang Liang's messenger lobbyist, and personally sent someone to send a message to the King of Yan, and used the newspaper Liu Bang's surrender to watch. At the same time, he negotiated with Wang Li, the commander of the northern border, and made a situation where two armies would destroy the Yan State before Xiang Yu arrived.

The King of Yan originally wanted to be a little king, not a real descendant of the Yan State. He had no intention of restoring the ancestral temple and building a country. Under the threat of two armies, he hurriedly handed over the surrender letter and handed over the order. After surrendering, he was in trouble.

Han Xin made a promise and reported the news of the surrender of the King of Yan to the court. As expected, the court did not disappoint the surrendered. He asked the King of Yan and his ministers to go to Xianyang, each with titles. The soldiers in Yan were dispersed and distributed to the land, so they did not pursue the farming.

Since Hu Hai accepted Liu Bang and returned to Xianyang, those craftsmen who mastered movable type printing technology have become the masters of the royal craftsmen, and have made movable type printing prosperous.

After Hu Haiqin's decision, the first royal newspaper in the Qin Dynasty was established with the management of Shusun Tong and Lao Fuwan, the head of the Qin Dynasty, and the first royal newspaper in the Qin Dynasty was established. The newspapers printed specifically reported on major national affairs, just like the news daily in later generations. However, the traffic in the Qin Dynasty did not come very much, and the information was spread slowly. Therefore, this daily newspaper became a ten-day newspaper, published every ten days.

Now the news of the surrender of the King of Yan has been completely published in the newspaper, and even the palace painters have painted the paintings of Hu Hai summoning the surrendered ministers of Yan in a vivid way.

Xiang Yu held the newspaper. Seeing the news of Yan's surrender, his face felt hot. He tore up angrily twice. Then he tore the newspaper in his hand into pieces and threw it all over the floor.

At the beginning, he did not listen to Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng's words and went to attack Wuguan, thinking that he could join forces with Yan State to attack Han Xin. Unexpectedly, the King of Yan surrendered at this critical moment.

Xiang Yu had grass and mud flying by his horse in his heart.

His three armies have already entered Zhao territory and have already taken several cities. Now the morale of the Chu army is strong, so this news must not affect morale. Although Xiang Yu is fierce, he is not stupid. He is also an excellent military strategist.

Seeing Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng sitting below with a gloomy face, Xiang Yu felt unhappy. The two guys had never been in agreement with me. Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in Xiang Yu's mind: After Zhang Liang sent an envoy, the King of Yan surrendered to Qin. The envoy did not come back to report. Could it be that Zhang Liang had made this happen?

Xiang Yu shook his head. Whether Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng were really ill are not a problem? He has no evidence now and it is difficult to investigate. The first thing is to stabilize the morale of the army.

Under Xiang Yu's general's order, the three Chu army gathered.

Xiang Yu climbed onto the high general and looked at the soldiers of the three armies below with sharp eyes. Except for the pioneer Yu Ziqi, Zhongli and Long on the left and right wings were both above the war horses, with bright armor and bright armor.

"My men from Chu, now the villain from Yan has betrayed the covenant and surrendered to the tyrannical Qin. I believe you have heard of this news. Now I will tell you personally, this is true, are you afraid?" Xiang Yu's fist clenched, and the sound spread like waves.

"Not afraid" the Chu people are already fierce. Now, under the guidance of Long Qi and Zhongli, they shouted in unison.

"Yes, don't be afraid. The cowards of Yan State think that without them, the Chu man will retreat. They are wrong. We are brave enough to move forward. We take Handan in one fell swoop. Then we go to Hangu and go straight to Xianyang. Is that good?"

"good"

"Capture Hu Hai alive. Then we will burn and kill Xianyang City for three days and three nights, so we will have some fun. Do you want it?"

"I want" the Chu army to go crazy. The massacre of the city over the past few days has aroused their ferociousness.

Xiang Yu looked at the three armies who were screaming below with satisfaction and said loudly: "There is a big river ahead. After crossing this river, it is Zhongmu and the lineup. Take down the last barriers of these two Handans and the troops will attack Handan."

The fierceness of the Chu army was incited by Xiang Yu, and even the soldiers who surrendered to the six countries were infected and roared wildly.

War is about morale. Since morale is rising, we must march immediately.

I heard that Yu Ziqi's vanguard troops had been restrained by the two Qin troops in Zhongmu and Lie County. Xiang Yu picked up two command arrows on the platform, glanced at the two wings below, and said loudly: "Who will take Zhongmu and Lie County?"

As soon as the sound fell, Long Qi and Zhongli brought the horse forward.

Xiang Yu laughed loudly on the platform, throwing the arrow in his hand from mid-air.

Zhongli Xu and Long Qie actually jumped up from the horse and received two command arrows in the air, Long Qie Zhongmu and Zhongli Xue County.

The two of them bowed their hands and replied loudly: "I will not be humiliating my fate." Turn around and rectify the army on both sides of the left and right wings, and divide the troops to advance.

Xiang Yu had already found out that the two guards in Liexian and Zhongmu were all young men, one was named Li Jian, who was Li Xin's grandson, and the other was Wei Huo, who was said to have been picked up by Qin Ershi from the competition.

On the night when Xiang Yu divided his troops, Han Xin received a secret report from the scout spy. He looked at Xiang Yu's advance route on the map and laughed.

If Xiang Yu refused to divide his troops, the battle with troops like Han Xin and Xiang Yu would probably not be sure to win, but now it is different. Once Xiang Yu divided his troops, he would have a way to defeat Xiang Yu.

"Tell us the order, the army of Handan quickly assembled and brought all the soldiers who could walk and fight to me. Let's go to Zhongmu first, fight Long Ju, the most powerful general under Xiang Yu, and then make plans." Han Xin ordered.

Handan Order Sima Xin had already communicated with Han Xin and prepared the military rations for the marching. In just half an hour, the soldiers who could kill people in Handan City gathered together and formed a group outside Handan City, without seeing the beginning and end.

Han Xin only left three thousand defenders for Sima Xin.

Now that the north is stable, only Xiang Yu is the powerful rebel horse left in the world, Handan has no worries. Three thousand defenders are enough to maintain public order.

Han Xin's Qin army divided into three groups and marched towards Zhongmu overnight.

After all, the letters spread too slowly. When Han Xin's army set out, Long Qi, a powerful general under the command of the King of Western Chu, had already arrived at Zhongmu County, surrounding a small county town with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The commander of the defender here was Li Jian. The general he received from Han Xin was to defend Zhongmu until Han Xin's army arrived.

When the Chu army arrived, camped for two hours, Long Qi couldn't help it, so he turned over and took the horse, took the sword out of the camp, and brought only three thousand soldiers to the city of Zhongmu.

"I heard that the Qin army in the city, let your head general come to die. General Long Qi said that if he could walk through the three-way under his command, he would let the old and young in the city live. Otherwise, the city would be destroyed and massacred." After the Chu army's scolding team members expressed Long Qi's meaning, they shouted and started to curse in an orderly manner.

Li Jian on the top of the city snorted coldly. Han Xin asked him to defend the city, but this kind of humiliation was given to others by him. Long Qi was so brave that he dared to provoke him, and he was really ungrateful.

He immediately brought five hundred elites, opened the gate of Zhongmu County, and killed them, and wanted to distinguish between the top and bottom of the most powerful general under Xiang Yu, Long Qi, and the final victory or defeat. To be continued.
