The rise of Qin was undoubtedly due to the crazy operation of the war machine inside the city. Outside, millions of Iron Army soldiers marched in all four directions, setting the world apart. However, in the short span of fifteen years, many of the Great Qin s had perished.
's desert eagle flew in the sky, and from time to time, it would fly down to eat the corpses. The two armies had sent many soldiers to retrieve the corpses on their side, and then they would burn them and bury them. Smoke would form into a fog, and the stench would spread far into the distance.
They were all dead on the battlefield.
's troops that were stationed at the foot of the mountain, numbered more than two hundred thousand on the battlefield. Right now, there were only sixty to seventy thousand people left who had suffered heavy casualties.
Inside the tent, Zhang Han, Lu Jianli, Qin Jianying and a few other generals were sitting around quietly. Zhang Han did not say a word, just as he was thinking about how to proceed forward, the Qin Dynasty was already hopeless, and even His Majesty was killed by Zhao Gao. He then sighed: "The generals and I are loyal and loyal to the King of Qin, but we have to repay the debt. In this chaotic world, if we do not plan for ourselves, we will die and not die in this place, what do you think?"
Lu Jianli, Meng Tianhua and the other Cockroach leaders looked at each other in dismay. They did not dare to make any presumptuous suggestions, and said: "We will only follow the general's orders, the general will fight, the Qin Army will fight, the general will fight, and the Qin Army will fight!"
Zhang Han slightly nodded his head: "The main culprit behind Great Qin's destruction is Zhao Gao, if he was not at the courthouse, he would not have harmed everyone, and we would not have stood up to him now, let alone the citizens of the six nations, it would be weird if they did not rebel."
Lu Jianli probed: "The General said in front of the array that he wanted to negotiate with the Chu Army, is that true?"
Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Han, the crime of defying the Qin, and punishing the nine families, no one dared to speak lightly of it.
Zhang Han sighed: That's right, I have that intention, with the end of the Qin Empire, if we still resist the resistance and join the Xianyang, we will be foolish and loyal, and would be equivalent to aiding and oppressing Zhao Gao, not to mention that our general and friends were all killed by Zhao Gao, and even His Majesty was killed by him, this hatred will not go unavenged. We might as well negotiate with the Chu Army, help them attack the city, and take revenge for us.
Lu Jianli asked curiously: "Long Tianyu's momentum is like the sun in the sky, and he is an invincible general, the one with the most reputation among the commoners in the world. Why did General Zhang pick Xiang Yu instead of waiting for Long Tianyu to come?"
Zhang Han's expression changed greatly: My brother, third brother, Zhang Xi, has died by Long Tianyu's hands. Second brother, Zhang Ping, has lost his battle in Pengcheng, and up till now, we do not know whether he is dead or alive, so this grudge is irreconcilable. If I rely on Pengcheng Allied Army, how can I have the face to face the two elders below the Yellow Springs in the future?
Qin Jianying was puzzled: "Then, Chu Army has also killed quite a few of our people today!"
Zhang Han sighed: "This is what you call taking the worst out of the worst."
However, Qin Jianying said with misgivings: "I'm afraid that Xiang Yu may not be willing. You should know that we raped and killed her uncle Xiang Liang and all the disciples of the 80,000 Jiangdong s, and Chu Army hates us so much today.
Zhang Han was also worried, after all, all of the Chu Army's Chu Army s that went around the West were surrounded and annihilated, and Xiang Liang was killed. Xiang Yu was like an evil enemy, he might stubbornly seek revenge for his uncle and be unwilling to negotiate with him.
Lu Jianli thought for a moment, then cupped his hands together: "General, right now the Chu Army has very little food, only forty to fifty thousand people left, the Xianyang has many heavy soldiers, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for Xiang Yu to take down the enemy within a short period of time, furthermore, the various patriarchs of the various marquises will drive them straight, and they will soon reach the southern shore of the Weishui, Xiang Yu's situation is not better than us, she will definitely put aside her personal grudges, and after all, fighting against the great cause of the world, no matter how reckless Xiang Yu is, there will definitely be a capable man in the Chu Army who can come up with some ideas, so we do not need to worry too much!"
Just as he finished speaking, a guard lifted the curtain and reported, "General, an emissary from the Chu Army came to visit you in the middle of the night. She said that she has important matters to discuss with you!"
Zhang Han thought that since it was so late, there must be something urgent. He immediately sat down and said: "Quickly, invite him in!"
The guard turned around and walked out of the tent. Not long later, a middle-aged scholar walked out of the tent, wearing a long robe, it was obvious that he was an official strategist, the scholar bowed and said, "I am Gou Chunzi, a strategist under Chu Army, greetings General Zhang."
Zhang Han asked: "The two armies will be battling each other. We have sent messengers late at night, what can I do for you?"
Gou Chunzi took out a bamboo scroll from his sleeve and handed it over. "This Military Advisor Fan understands the courage of General Zhang and specially wrote down a book and a letter for him. General Zhang, after reading it, naturally knows what he means by coming down here."
Zhang Han nodded his head, and instructed the servant to grant him a seat on the wooden chair. The other attendant took the book from Gou Chunzi's hands and passed it to Zhang Han.
The candles in the tent flickered, and everyone held their breath. All of them looked at the general and the envoys of the Chu Army.
Zhang Han opened the bamboo scroll and there were three small charms written on it, "Bai Qi is the Qin general, he will head south to attack you and Ying, and attack you from the north to kill you and your clothes. He will attack you and you will be unable to count you in the end, and yet you will be killed in the end. Meng Tian was a Qin general that had travelled more than a few thousand li to the north of the Huns. In the end, he had cut off all the lands around him. Why? "Qin cannot be conferred too many merits. Therefore, Luo Fu is guilty of using the country's laws to kill them."
"Now that the general has been the Qin general for three years, the number of soldiers that have been lost is one hundred thousand. At the same time, the number of marquis soldiers has increased. Zhao Gao had always been flattering and had been doing this for a long time. In this critical situation, he was afraid that Second Elder would kill him, so he planned to use this matter to kill the general to avoid the danger. The general has been out for a long time, and many people in the imperial court have their enmity with him. Even if he had rendered meritorious deeds, he would have been killed. Even if he did not, he would have been killed. Furthermore, the heavens want us to die, whether we are stupid or smart, we all know. "
"Right now, the general cannot speak out and admonish him directly. He can only be a general of a nation that is about to perish. Why not join forces with the other dukes, sign a peace treaty, attack Qin together, cede the land to be king, sit south, and call yourself a widow; which would be better than being slaughtered on an anvil and having his wife killed? If the general was wise enough to know his place, he should leave the West Qin as soon as possible and submit to the General Xiang. I hope you can answer as soon as possible. "
Obviously, Chu Army had not received the news yet, but Second Brother had already been killed by Zhao Gao a few hours ago.
After Zhang Han read it again, he read it aloud once more. The thing he was most worried about had been solved, the doubt in his heart had been dispelled, and he felt that it was imperative to subdue this situation. He asked the generals in a clear voice: "How do you think we should respond to the Chu Army's envoys?"
Everyone replied, "The general's will is our will!"
Zhang Han then said, "At noon tomorrow, to negotiate with the Chu Army outside the Hongmen Peak, who would object?"
The generals replied in unison, "We have no objections!"
Zhang Han said resolutely: Alright, then it is decided. Tomorrow at noon, outside of the Hong Gate, our army and the Chu Bing will work together to suppress the traitor Zhao Gao, to kill the entire Zhao Clan, to repay the kindness of the Qin Emperor. Once Zhao Gao is removed, we will no longer belong to the Qin people!
All the generals stood up and clasped their hands together, "We obey!"
Gou Chunzi's facial muscles twitched. He smiled and said, "This is the fortune of two armies, and of all the people in the world."
From this moment onwards, Zhang Han had made up his mind to rebel against the rule of the imperial government, and submit to Xiang Yu. He would overthrow the title of Marquis that Tyrant Qin was given, and then turn his head to gather the Qin Soldier to deal with Long Tianyu behind him, in order to avenge her two brothers!
