The main city of Linjiang County, Xiling, Yidao, Xiakou and other places, but also from west to east, the middle is the boundary of Jiujiang and Hengshan, that is, Xiakou, from the ancient capital of Jiujiang six counties 100 miles, in addition, Changsha was not the modern Changsha at that time, but it was a city closer to Bin County, and it was also regarded as the middle of Hengshan.
Zhang Han ordered 30,000 soldiers, and another 10,000 crossbowmen and cavalry to attack Xiling, and Wang Li ordered 10,000 soldiers to attack the rear gorge, all of which were secret attacks.
At this moment, Gong Ao is still recuperating in Jiangling, and he does not know that the Qin army sent troops from Bashu, as for Liu Bang of Hengshan County, he has already mobilized 20,000 soldiers and horses and stationed in Bin County.
Xiling City is guarded by Sima Yin, this person is a friend of Gong Ao, when the original anti-Qin, the two of them jointly broke through the three counties, due to the chaos in the world, so they stuck to the land of thousands of miles, guarding the city of Xiling, Sima Yin is brave, quite strategic.
Zhang Han led the troops to march day and night, all of them were mountain paths, first explored by dozens of cavalry, and then the army slowed down, and in ten days, they felt from Shu County to Xiling City twenty miles away.
Linjiang has many mountain barriers, although there are only more than 20 miles, Xiling guard general Sima Yin does not seem to have found anything unusual, and Linjiang County has not had a war in the past half a year, and Qin and Chu have truce, so it seems a little careless.
At the evening moment, Zhang Han ordered the fire to cook, and he had to eat on his back, and after many soldiers finished eating, Zhang Han immediately ordered the soldiers to walk quickly.
Xiling is built according to the mountain, there is no trench battle road, all are piled up with huge stones, the doors are all ancient wood, three or four zhang high, it is also regarded as the city of the barrier of Linjiang and Bashu.
Ordinary people rarely live here, about 5,000 guards, the Qin army rushed to Xiling City in about half an hour, Zhang Han saw that there were only dozens of guards, and he was very happy in his heart.
Immediately ordered someone to build a ladder, leaning against the wall, and another rope to hook the middle of the barrier, and when the guard found the Qin army, there were already 100 Qin troops at the city gate, but they did not think about competing with the defenders, but quickly went down the city and opened the city gate.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Xiling defenders retreated while fighting with the Qin army, and Sima Yin was still in the city mansion, and before he could sleep, he heard someone shouting outside the door, and hurriedly put on armor to investigate. happened to collide with the guards of the city, and the soldier said in a panic: "General Qiyu, the West Gate has been broken through by the thieves!"
” Sima Yin's face was in a trance, "Thieves, where are the thieves?"
” "General Qiyu, it is suspected to be the Qin army!"
"Follow me to meet the enemy, slow down the retreat!"
Sima Yin didn't seem to be very flustered, and then entered the house and quickly put on his clothes, and walked out with a halberd in his hand.
In a few moments, Sima Yin collected more than 2,000 generals, and at this time, Zhang Han had already led his soldiers into the city, which happened to be opposite to Sima Yin, but only a few meters.
Zhang Han took the lead in shouting: "Xiling guard, you are not guilty of your duty, you can surrender quickly and avoid your death!"
” Sima Yin in front of him had a serious face and stepped up with a halberd, "The Qin people are barbaric, it's really so!"
Kill me and you!
” Seeing this, Zhang Han also went up with a sword, and the two of them fought with the outside of the mansion, Sima Yin was forty years old and had good physical strength, so he stabbed Zhang Han in the chest with a halberd, and his shot was very steady.
"Old horseman, rude!"
Zhang Han shouted, then blocked with a horizontal sword, and suddenly raised up, Sima Yin was invincible, he retreated on his back, and almost threw it off, but fortunately he had a halberd in his hand and stood on the ground.
Zhang Han's face was expressionless, holding the sword in both hands, not giving Sima Yin a chance to breathe, and wanted to cut horizontally, Sima Yin turned over and stabbed forward with a halberd in his right hand.
As everyone knows, the halberd is long and the sword is short, Zhang Han saw this, so he had to turn around quickly, so as not to be stabbed, Sima Yin took the opportunity to escape into the defenders, and led the soldiers to run towards the east gate.
Zhang Han led the army to chase, but Sima Yin was most familiar with the Xiling area, and it was late at night, Zhang Han did not dare to move forward, so he retreated to the city, closed the east gate, and counted the property.
Sima Yin led thousands of soldiers to flee towards Jiangling, and at the same time, Wang Li also easily took the mouth of the gorge, so Yidao and other places surrendered without a fight.
The land of three cities and a hundred miles was occupied for several days, and it was said that Sima Yin rushed back to Jiangling all night, and he was quite embarrassed, and Gongao was furious when he learned the news, and wanted to recapture Xiling and other places.
In the Jiangling Palace, Gong Ao's face was embarrassed, Sima Yin sat aside, a little melancholy, the two were silent for a long time, and Gong Ao Fang said: "Can you know who did this matter by General Qin?"
” "Brother Qiqi, that person is more than thirty years old, with a handsome face, and someone called him General Zhang?"
Sima Yin said with some uncertainty.
Gong Ao bowed his head slightly when he heard this, "This person must be Zhang Han, he has always been strategic, and it is reasonable for the virtuous brother to be attacked by him and lose the city, but how can the mouth of the gorge be breached!"
It's incredible!
” "The Qin army sent troops in two ways, so the gorge was broken, and all places were surrendered, and the guards here were all Qin people, and it was understandable to surrender to the Qin army, but for the sake of today, what should we do?"
Sima Yin asked very seriously.
Hearing this, Gong Ao paced back and forth in the hall for a long time before asking: "Today, our army only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I don't know the geometry of the Qin army?"
If it is a hasty battle, it may not be its opponent. ” "Jiujiang is far away from here, if there is negligence, Jiujiang will not be guaranteed."
Sima Yin looked very calm beside him, "Brother, we have lived here for a long time, we know the sky and the geography, and the situation is that all people are one heart, so why be afraid?"
” "The name of Zhang Han, I have also heard that it is just Qin Shaofu, when the tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum was built, and now there are no generals in Qin, so Qin II will appoint Zhang Han as a general."
"It was very late in Xiling that day, Zhang Han came with troops, I really don't know, if it weren't for this, he tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how could he break through my Xiling, I want to come to Zhang Han This battle is not Xiling, its purpose is Jiangling."
"Today, there are tens of thousands of generals, the time and place are favorable, and it is easy to hold Jiangling, and when the Qin army is exhausted, we will go out of the city to meet the battle, and wait for the best strategy!"
Hearing Sima Yin say this, Gong Ao hurriedly bowed his head, "What the virtuous brother said is very reasonable, but what should Jiujiang County do?"
It can't be ignored, Emperor Chu is still young, and he is not a mediocre person. ” Gong Ao Lao Cheng was serious, and everything he said made sense, Sima Yin frowned a little, "Is there no general in our army?"
” Just as Sima Yin's words fell, the lieutenant outside the hall suddenly broke in, and hurriedly saluted the two of them: "Father, uncle, and son-in-law are willing to lead troops to guard the land of Xiakou and Six Counties. ” "It's nonsense!"
Seeing this, Gong Ao immediately waved his hand and said.
Thinking that Gongwei was only eighteen years old, and he had no experience in the world, it was really a bit reckless to send troops to guard Jiujiang like this, and when Gongwei saw that his father did not agree, he turned to look at Sima Yin on the side.

"Uncle, don't you even believe your nephew?"
Sima Yin once got along with Gongwei and found that he had quite an insight into the art of war, and at that time, because he wanted to attack the counties separately, he parted with Gongao's father and son, and it was not necessarily a bad thing for Gongwei to want to send troops today.
"Brother, I think it's feasible!"
Sima Yin pondered for a moment and said.
