While other princes were still gloating over the cities they had just captured, Su Che was already considering the grand plan of establishing a thousand-year-long national dynasty.
It’s not that he is arrogant or too inflated, it’s just that he has experienced too much.
I have already made up my mind.
This is the third time Su Che has simulated this period.
The first time was Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
The second time was by King Chen Sheng of Chu.
The perfect completion of the first two times made Su Che familiar with this era.
During this period, there was only one real opponent from beginning to end - the King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu!
As for the other nobles of the six countries who rebelled, those princes were nothing but a bunch of small fry and were not worth mentioning at all.
As long as Han Xin's SSSSR-level card is not in the hands of other people, there will basically not be any big problems.
By the way, Han Xin...by the way, where is Han Xin?
Su Che raised his head and looked at the blue sky in the distance.
…
Huaiyin County.
A ragged young man with a rather dishevelled look, with a sword on his waist and a military book tightly clutched in his hand, was resting against the corner of the wall, with a frown on his face, thinking about his next move.
It is not easy for Han Xin to have the surname Han.
In this era, a person's surname can usually represent his or her background.
Han Xin was a descendant of the Korean royal family, but he later fell into poverty, and after the six kingdoms were destroyed, he had even less capital.
People on the street were discussing the story of the King of Han.
"I heard that after the King of Han occupied Guanzhong in Qin, he directly hung up the Second Emperor of Qin, Hu Hai, and beat him up!"
"What? He was hung up and beaten? Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. This story is so well-documented, how could it be false?"
"That was the Second Emperor of Qin. No matter how incompetent and wicked he was, he was still the successor of the First Emperor. Yet he was hung up and beaten. Tsk tsk, this is really... refreshing!"
"I guess the Second Emperor of Qin was also confused, enjoying himself in the palace, when suddenly a group of rebels rushed into Xianyang and captured him alive!"
"Wasn't Chen Sheng's uprising army almost destroyed by the Qin army? Where did this King of Han come from? And he occupied Guanzhong and Xianyang?"
"It's like this. The King of Han took advantage of the Qin generals' time to suppress Chen Sheng's uprising army and took another route to Xianyang. He opened the city gates and directly occupied Xianyang, holding the emperor hostage to control the Qin territory!"
"Hiss... good trick!"
“That’s amazing!”
"This King of Han is really lucky!"
Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Han Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this King of Han is not simple...
This is easy to say, the King of Han simply took advantage of the gap between the Qin army's attacks, opened the city gate, and secretly captured Xianyang City. However, the difficulty involved, as well as the grasp of timing, and most importantly, the unique courage!
Such means are not something that ordinary people can do.
This King of Han is not simple.
While Han Xin was thinking this, the people around him continued chatting.
"Speaking of which, the King of Han is also a true hero. Since he entered Xianyang, he has not indulged in pleasure, but has issued several policies in succession. First, he abolished all the harsh Qin laws, made a three-article agreement with the people of Guanzhong, then stopped all corvée labor, and finally completely exempted the land tax!"
"What? Completely exempting land tax? There is such a thing???"
"Yes, the people in Qin no longer have to do corvée labor, nor do they have to pay land taxes!"
"Ah... this is too good to be true! How is this possible? Where in the world can there be such a king?!"
"Isn't this a plan to deceive the people into supporting him? Once his position is secure and he ascends to the throne, he will abolish this policy!"
"No! The King of Han really cares about the people!"
"What do you mean?"
"The King of Han has made a vow that as long as he is in power, he will never collect land tax!!"
"This...! This is actually true!"
"This King of Han is truly a Holy King..."
In this era, oaths are very sacred.
Once the big shots swear an oath, they will never break it!
Not to mention the big shots, even the oaths of small people will basically not be violated.
Therefore, Su Che's oath easily gained the trust of countless people.
Since you have sworn, then this matter must be true!
This situation continued until someone swore by the Luo River and then treated his oath as bullshit, which directly lowered the bottom line of human character. From then on, no one would take oaths seriously.
But now, it is still very reliable .
The group of people chatted with their eyes shining, wishing that the King of Han's troops would come sooner to liberate them and exempt them from land taxes and corvée labor!
There is no corvée labor, and no land tax. Just thinking about such a life makes people yearn for it. What a wonderful life it would be...
Suddenly, someone who knew the inside story couldn't help but whispered, "Do you know the true identity of the King of Han?"
"I don't know, but I know that the King of Han is definitely not an ordinary person. He can make so many benevolent policies , so he is definitely not an ordinary person! Who is he?"
"As far as I know, the King of Han is the new saint of Mohism, the leader of Mohism, Liu Bang!"
"What! It's him!"
"So he is the new saint of Mohism. No wonder he has such benevolent rule!"
"I know him too. He's so famous!"
"No wonder... the world is about to welcome the most wise king!"
"The textile machine in my house was invented by this man. I never thought that he would lead the rebel army and attack Xianyang!"
Han Xin was listening to the conversation of these people at the side, and his originally tense brows slowly relaxed.
He has found his target.
Go to Guanzhong.
Find the King of Han.
This is a king who is worthy of assisting. He has vision, means, courage, and cares for the people. He is also the new saint of Mohism!
Only such a king is worthy of following!
that's all.
Han Xin embarked on his journey.
…
This day.
An uninvited guest came to Xianyang City.
Zhang Han, the great general of the Qin Dynasty!
He led 400,000 Qin troops to the city.
With so many soldiers, it seemed that he could establish himself as king at any time if he wanted to. As long as Xianyang was captured, it would not matter even if Su Che threatened Hu Hai. On the contrary, it would be better if Hu Hai died, so that he could establish himself as king, or even become emperor himself!
but……
The truth is quite the opposite.
Even if Zhang Han wanted to capture Xianyang, it would be difficult to do so - the morale of the army would not allow it!
Most of these 400,000 Qin troops were prisoners from Mount Li. Only after they were pardoned by Emperor Qin II did they begin to make amends for their crimes and serve in the army to build their careers. After fighting for so long, both the military spirit and morale began to slowly decline.
In the future, the Qin army under Zhang Han's command would be defeated by Xiang Yu with a desperate move and defeat the larger force with a smaller one, partly because of their insufficient morale.
At this moment, when these 400,000 Qin troops entered the pass, what they saw and heard had changed their initial perceptions.
At the beginning, the superior told them that bandits had broken through Xianyang and taken His Majesty hostage.
But when they entered Guanzhong, they saw peace and tranquility everywhere they looked! The people of Qin were content and happy. It had been a long time since they had seen such a scene!
I don't know when the news started to spread...
In the Qin army, countless soldiers were whispering to each other, discussing the news about the King of Han in Xianyang!
After the rebels captured Xianyang, they first hung up and beat the incompetent Qin II, then issued an order to all officials in the name of the emperor to temporarily suspend all corvee labor, then exempted the land tax, and then took many benevolent measures, which the people in Guanzhong all praised.
The identity of this rebel who proclaimed himself the King of Han was unexpected. He was a disciple of Xunzi and the new saint of Mohism.
After the First Emperor conquered the State of Qi, the first person he met was this man, and he also conferred the title of Marquis of Pei'an on him!
This background, this qualifications, this seniority!
It's really extraordinary!
A first-class existence!
His reasons for rebellion were also legitimate.
Hu Hai was incompetent, cruel, cold-blooded, and perverse. Such a monarch was simply the enemy of the world!
He punished Hu Hai on behalf of the people of the world!
Bring benevolent governance to the world!
These pieces of news continued to circulate in the army.
After arriving at the city of Xianyang.
No one wants to "capture Xianyang and wipe out the rebels" anymore.
How can this be called a traitor?
This is clearly the Holy King!
General Zhang Han naturally noticed the change in military morale.
This made Zhang Han's face look very interesting.
He knows it very well.
Under such circumstances, how many people would be willing to follow him to eliminate the rebels?
Definitely not much!
However, with the Qin army's military control, these people could also try to attack the city.
But if the city is not captured in a short period of time, the consequences will be disastrous!
so.
Hesitate again and again.
Zhang Han arrived outside the city of Xianyang and made up his mind. He urged his horse forward!
This moment.
Zhang Han became the focus of the two armies.
Both the Han army and the Qin army were looking at General Zhang Han.
The atmosphere was depressing to the extreme.
The battlefield was exceptionally quiet.
Zhang Han approached Xianyang City a little bit, raised his head firmly, and then he shouted loudly:
"General Zhang Han, I pay my respects to the King of Han!!!"
As soon as these words came out.
Above the city.
The expressions of Su Che and his group were very interesting!
If these 400,000 Qin troops work together, it would be a piece of cake to capture the city of Xianyang.
Even though the 5,000 troops Su Che brought with him were expanded a little, together with the Qin army in Xianyang City, the number was already almost 20,000. However, facing an army of 400,000, the gap was still too big!
Therefore, if Zhang Han is determined to attack the city, it will be a difficult defensive battle!
Not to mention him, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying, Wang Ling, Zhou Chang and others were so stressed out that they couldn't even sleep after hearing the news that 400,000 Qin troops were returning to the capital.
That’s an army of 400,000!
It was the Qin Army, known as the Tiger and Wolf Division! !
certainly.
They also understand that only by holding on can there be a glimmer of hope.
So basically with the determination to die, these people followed Su Che and stood on the city wall.
After seeing the overwhelming 400,000 Qin troops, many people subconsciously held their breath.
In such a tense atmosphere...
Zhang Han, the general of the 400,000-man Qin army, suddenly said, "Meet the King of Han!"
ah????
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Xiahou Ying, Wang Ling, Zhou Chang and others looked at each other in surprise, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
What is going on here?
You surrender right before the fight even starts?
See, the King of Han is here?
Is there any such operation?
What the hell is Zhang Han doing!
at the same time.
On the city wall of Xianyang, Hu Hai, a captive, looked at the 400,000 Qin troops, with a raging fire of revenge burning in his eyes.
Hu Hai couldn't help but fantasize before. As long as Xianyang City was broken and he could still survive, he would definitely make the King of Han live a life worse than death. And those people under him, especially the bearded man, must be made to live a life worse than death and let them enjoy the most painful torture in the world!
Want to die?
No no no, it's too cheap.
They must be tortured for years, even decades, to let them know what the end will be like!!
This moment must come!!
Just when Hu Hai was expecting this to happen, the great general Zhang Han, whom he had high hopes for and trusted, suddenly said, "Meet the King of Han!"
The moment he heard this, Hu Hai was stunned.
He was completely stunned.
At first, he even thought he had heard it wrong.
How is it possible... How is it possible?!
Did General Zhang Han say something wrong from time to time?
Why did he want to meet the King of Han?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Hu Hai's eyes turned red. He struggled hard and tried to shout, but he was tied up and something was stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't speak at all.
The guard next to him saw that he was not behaving himself and whipped him: "Behave yourself!"
Hu Hai, who had almost fallen into madness, was awakened by the whip. He turned his head and looked at the guard with fierce eyes - Who do you think you are? How dare you hit me?!
After all, he was an emperor. His eyes and his aura directly scared away the guard holding the whip.
Just as Hu Hai was preparing to take action.
Zhang Han then said, "I, Zhang Han, and the 400,000 troops behind me are willing to follow the King of Han, and go through fire and water, no matter what it takes!"
After hearing this, Hu Hai's eyes widened.
You heard it right.
He really heard it right.
This Zhang Han surrendered to the enemy!
He clearly had 400,000 Qin troops under his command, and it would not be a problem for him to capture the city of Xianyang. Why did he surrender to the enemy?
Damn it!!! Damn it!!!
Hu Hai went completely crazy and struggled hard again!
Hu Hai wanted to question Zhang Han, and at the same time called on the 400,000 Qin troops to kill the bastard Zhang Han, enthrone Wang Li as the general, immediately break through the city of Xianyang, and save him at all costs!
After all, Hu Hai had been an emperor and possessed the supreme dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty. After his frantic struggle, he actually broke free from the ropes!
Hu Hai hurried to the city wall.
Seeing this, the guards immediately came over to stop them.
However... at this critical moment.
At the moment when Hu Hai was about to speak!
The 400,000 Qin troops behind Zhang Han all spoke!
All the Qin troops shouted in unison, and their voices were like a tsunami, shocking to the extreme!
"We are willing to follow the King of Han, and go through fire and water, no matter what!"
"We are willing to follow the King of Han, and go through fire and water, no matter what it takes!!"
"We are willing to follow the King of Han, and go through fire and water, no matter what!!!"
The 400,000 Qin soldiers shouted in unison, one voice louder than the other, and the sound waves came crashing down. At this moment, these people completed their gorgeous transformation from the Qin army to the Han army!
Next to the city wall.
Hu Hai, who was about to speak, was struck by lightning and became dumbfounded!
