    At Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu died, the entire Chu army was wiped out, and the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses were also taken prisoner. However, the Zhao army had not yet figured out how to deal with these prisoners, so Li You was asked to lead the 50,000 Qin soldiers in the pass.  Guard the prisoners and be responsible for guarding the gates.  In addition, as early as the beginning of the battle, Zhao Jun ordered Han Xin to lead 40,000 infantry against Long Qie. Sure enough, Long Qie heard that Xiang Yu was in danger and ignored Aocang. He hurriedly sent troops to rescue him, but was defeated by Han Xin's plan.  , Ren Ren and Zhong Limei were also shot into hedgehogs by archers.  "Master Marquis, Xiang Yu's camp has been breached, and the generals in the camp, including Fan Zeng, have all given him the title." Guan Ying came back with murderous intent. In fact, the Chu camp had become an empty camp at that time, and Fan Zeng did not expect that Xiang Yu would be defeated.  So quickly, Su Yan was caught off guard. Even though Fan Zeng was so powerful, there was nothing he could do to save himself.  Zhao Jun patted Guan Ying on the shoulder and smiled and said: "Well done, you go ahead and seize the time to repair the army. That old boy Liu Bang is still waiting for us to clean up, so we can't be careless." "Nuo!" Guan Ying immediately responded,  Stride away.  After preliminarily handling the post-war matters, Zhao Jun went to meet Meng Tian at the military camp in Hangu Pass, and Li You happened to be there too.  "See you, Lord Marquis." As soon as Li You saw Zhao Jun coming, he immediately bowed down.  "Get up, haha." Zhao Jun helped Li You up, punched him again, and scolded him with a smile: "You guy, why don't you recognize me as your brother after not seeing each other for several years?" "I will never forget it in my life.  No." Li You smiled dryly, but he remembered that they and Bai Ying were almost forced to death by Zhao Gao's younger brother during the Black Ice Platform selection. Zhao Jun told them at that time, you are mine.  brother.  At this time, Meng Tian put down his official duties, stood up and said, "Master Marquis is here." "Master, don't you want to recognize me as your apprentice?" Zhao Jun looked at Meng Tian with a grimace.  Meng Tian was startled.  His heart felt warm for a moment, and he knew that Zhao Jun was not as powerful as he was and had forgotten about him as his master.  "Haha, it's been nearly seven years, you have really grown up." Meng Tian smiled with satisfaction. What he was most satisfied with in his life was not his achievements, but teaching Zhao Jun, his apprentice.  Li You said with great eyes at this time: "Master Hou, Commander Meng. I'm going down to handle military affairs." After Li You left, Zhao Jun bowed down firmly and said in a very solemn voice: "Master.  " Zhao Jun didn't say much, but his expression and tone had already expressed everything, if Meng Tian hadn't accepted him as his apprentice.  He will not stand out from the Northern Army and finally be where he is today. It can be said that Zhao Jun has achieved today's achievements because of himself, but Meng Tian's reason is the key point.  "Good boy, you have lived up to my expectations these years. You have done very well, very well." Meng Tian's face was filled with relief, he knew what Zhao Jun was thinking.  Zhao Jun smiled after hearing this. He knew that Meng Tian was not just talking about his achievements.  Still talking about his attitude towards Qin Chao and Fusu.  At this time, Meng Tian's face darkened again, and he said in a serious tone: "The current situation is not good. In my opinion, Liu Bang is more difficult to deal with than Xiang Yu. It is very likely that after learning that you have completely defeated Xiang Yu, he will retreat to the south and rely on the city to follow him.  You fight a tough battle. In that case, the cavalry will not be able to play a big role. Once the war enters a protracted stage, there will be many variables, which is not a good phenomenon for the people of the world and the court. Of course, the situation of the court is not optimistic. Your Majesty.  The imperial court is shaken a lot." Zhao Jun nodded after hearing this: "It is indeed not optimistic, but I think the most important thing is to stabilize the imperial court, otherwise it will be dangerous once the people's hearts are dispersed. As for Liu Bang, he is not attacking Nanyang Wang Ben.  General? I plan to send troops to Nanyang tomorrow, using the speed of my soldiers and horses, to force Liu Bang to death in Nanyang before he can react, and to finish off Meng Tian in one battle.  After hearing this, he nodded. If he could reach Nanyang before Liu Bang could react, then Liu Bang would not be able to retreat and would have to fight Zhao Jun. In terms of military combat strength alone, Liu Bang was more than one level behind Xiang Yu, so how could he be Zhao Jun?  opponent.  After the two finally discussed some details, Zhao Jun returned to his garrison camp.  Then he told Wei Liao his plan. Both Wei Liao and Kuai Che had just arrived from Linzi. The two nodded after hearing the news, which seemed to agree with Zhao Jun's opinion.  However, when it was just getting dark, Zhou Chang suddenly ran back in a hurry and said anxiously: "Master Hou, there is an urgent message from Nanyang. General Wang Ben was defeated. Liu Bang fought his way into the pass and rushed to attack Xianyang." "What?  ? Wang Ben was defeated! " Zhao Jun stood up suddenly in shock. How is this possible? Wang Ben has been operating in Nanyang for several years, and his active troops are still elite, with at least 50,000 people. Plus Wang Ben is a famous general in the Qin Dynasty. What's going on?  They won't be defeated in a short time, and Nanyang's terrain is difficult.It is difficult to attack and there are many passes.  Seeing Zhao Jun's expression, Zhou Chang explained: "I heard that Vice General Hu Zhao rebelled, which led to General Wang Ben's defeat." "Damn it, it's hard to guard against domestic thieves!" Zhao Jun slapped the document to pieces in annoyance and took a few deep breaths.  He managed to ask in a deep voice: "Where are General Wang Ben's soldiers now? Have they returned to Xianyang?" Zhou Chang clasped his fists and said: "Back to Lord Marquis, General Wang Ben did not return to Xianyang, but took the remaining soldiers with him.  Ma Yi was attacking Liu Bang's grain road in the Nanyang Mountains, but I heard that one of Liu Bang's generals named Peng Yue was in charge of the grain road. General Wang Ben fought with him victoriously, but the progress was not great. " "Peng Yue at this time.  Only then did Zhao Jun remember the allusion of Peng Yue scratching Chu. This Peng Yue was the ancestor of guerrilla warfare, and it seemed that it was not easy to deal with.  Finally, Zhao Jun thought for a while and said, "You go down first, pay close attention to the movements of Nanyang and Liu Bang, and report as soon as there is any news." Zhou Chang is a good scout and has extraordinary skills.  His special forces training and combat methods are very good at killing them. In addition, Mu Ning and Bai Ying are now sent to the south by him to carry out rebellion and investigation work on Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's territory. Therefore, Zhao Jun is now aware of the battle information in the army.  handed it to him.  "Yes, Lord Marquis." After hearing this, Zhou Chang strode away immediately.  Seeing this, Zhao Jun called Wei Liao and Kuai Che, and sent people to invite Meng Tian and Li Youlai to discuss.  "Shame on a soldier!" The three of them were also shocked after hearing this. They didn't expect a traitor to be found. The Qin Dynasty's army has always been famous for being rigorous and strong, but they didn't expect a traitor to be found.  Afterwards, Meng Tian said: "I think the Marquis should send troops to Xianyang as soon as possible. Preserving the foundation of the Qin Dynasty is the first priority. Besides, the state of the court is very unstable now. Only when the Marquis goes can we control the overall situation and stabilize people's hearts. Otherwise,  If there is chaos within ourselves, we will be in trouble." In public, Meng Tian still calls Zhao Jun "Master Hou."  Zhao Jun nodded. He understood what Meng Tian secretly meant, which was to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor and protect the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. This was indeed the top priority.  Wei Liao nodded and said: "Shuai Meng is right. Lord Marquis, you should hurry up and bring your troops back to Xianyang. In addition, you can send a partial division to Nanyang quickly. You don't need to worry about Pengyue's food route, just guard the way out of the pass."  "Old Lieutenant Gao Ce, after the Lord Hou returns to Xianyang, even if Liu Bang wants to withdraw from the pass, it will be too late and he will have to fight with the Lord Hou." Meng Tian said respectfully, in front of Wei Liao, he can be regarded as a junior.  , and others also admire Wei Liao greatly.  At this time, Kuai Che first agreed: "This strategy is good. In addition, we can contact General Wang Ben and ask him to join the partial division. The terrain in Nanyang is complicated, and his presence also avoids the possibility of Liu Bang withdrawing his troops by other means." "Okay."  , that¡¯s it, I¡¯ll send Yingbuti troops overnight, and Mr. Kuai, you¡¯ll be responsible for contacting General Wang Ben, and I¡¯ll ask Zhou Chang to cooperate with you.¡± Finally, Zhao Jun made up his mind.  ¡ª¡ª On the second day, Zhao Jun personally led the remaining 70,000 cavalry to Xianyang, accompanied by Wei Liao, Meng Tian, ??Hu Hai, Han Xin, Guan Ying and others. Li You and Cao Wushang led the remaining Northern troops to stay behind.  Guguan, took custody of the prisoners, and took over Aocang.  In addition, Yingbu and Kuai Che led 40,000 sword and shield troops to rush through the night, using horses instead of walking, to Nanyang to cut off Liu Bang's retreat.  Liu Bang didn't know this at this time, and was leading his troops to advance rapidly to capture Xianyang. There were still a few counties south of Xianyang, but the troops were weak. Although he relied on the bravery of his troops to resist in dangerous situations, Liu Bang's marching speed was not satisfactory, and he was almost  It took two days to conquer a city, and the momentum was overwhelming.
