Xiang Kang really wronged his good third uncle Xiang Bo this time, Xiang Bo really didn't frame it out of thin air this time, shamelessly slandered, in fact, Feng Zhong not only did it on the battlefield on the southern front, but also did it more excessively and rampantly than what Xiang Bo introduced in his letter.

However, as Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng expected, Xiang Kang arranged for the southern front of the general Feng Zhong, a general with a foreign surname, and sent the written order to the Huainan front, Master Xiang Boxiang was really furious, although he was the same ancestor as Xiang Kang and did not dare to greet Xiang Kang himself, he still scolded his unfilial nephew behind his back, scolded Xiang Kang for eating inside and out, betraying his ancestors, and letting himself be such a talented, both civil and military, and a cousin who commanded the army and won all battles. Unexpectedly, Feng Zhong is a slave with a foreign surname, who has been a rural mud leg of ordinary people for generations! At that time, if it weren't for Zhang Liang and Xiang You, Xiang Bo would almost have rushed back to the northern line and came directly to Xiang Kang, an unfilial nephew, to fight hard!

While hating Xiang Kang, of course, Xiang Bo was also extremely unconvinced by Feng Zhong, who snatched the throne of the commander of his southern front, and dreamed of replacing Feng Zhong and grasping the power of the southern front of the young marshal's army. I hope that you will work together to have any good strategic plans, although you can speak freely, if it is feasible, the old man and General Feng Zhongfeng will definitely adopt it. ”

Hearing this, of course, the young marshal Jun Wenwu present was a little dumbfounded, and subconsciously went to see Feng Zhong's reaction, and Feng Zhong was obviously a little caught off guard, and he didn't know how to refute Xiang Bo's noisy dominance for a while, but fortunately, the soldiers surnamed Han, who were not far away from Feng Zhong at all times, reacted quickly, and whispered a few words in Feng Zhong's ear in time, Feng Zhong calmed down and said with a smile: "Everyone, Master Xiang misunderstood, I will hold this meeting today, not to discuss the next tactical plan with you, but to discuss other things." ”

The young marshal continued to be silent, but he had some admiration for Feng Zhong in his heart, and he was neither humble nor arrogant to skillfully regain the initiative, such a means is rare. And Xiang Bo, who was trying to overhead Feng Zhong, was of course a little ugly, and said with a forced smile: "In this way, it is true that the old man misunderstood, but General Feng, what other things do you want to discuss when you hold this meeting?" ”

Having served as a pavilion chief and wanderer, and later as a soil king in Xu County for a period of time, Feng Zhong also had some leadership skills, cleared his throat and said: "Master Xiang, as well as the generals, I was promoted to be the general of the Great Chu State, and let me preside over the southern front of the Great Chu Young Marshal's army for him, I, Feng Zhong, am really flattered, but I have to be loyal to my duties." After receiving the young marshal's written order yesterday, I pondered and weighed it again and again, and I had already decided on a tactical plan for using troops to fight. ”

Uncle Xiang's face was even more ugly, and Chen Ying, who actually looked down on Uncle Xiang in his bones, smiled slightly, and said: "It turns out that General Feng already has a chance to win, then we can rest assured, General Feng, please tell me your clever plan, I will listen to you." ”

"Captain Chen's award is not a clever strategy, it's just a superficial tactical plan." Feng Zhong was modest, and then said: "I plan to do so, I plan to concentrate the main force of our young marshal's army on the southern front, attack Huaiyin in the east first, take this city and then go south to attack Guangling, seize the city and open up direct contact with Marshal Xiang, and finally turn around and go to the west to take Tangyi, recover the entire territory of the East China Sea, and fulfill the young marshal's entrustment and expectations for us." ”

Chen Ying and the other young marshals nodded their heads, but Xiang Bo was yin and yang, and said: "General Feng is really clever, the main force of our army is currently assembled in Xuantai, and Dongyang in the south is the place of General Chen Ying Chen. Sure enough, it's a high move, a high move. ”

Xiang Bo's deliberate difficulties were destined to have no effect, because before this, Feng Zhong had also asked a similar question to his own soldiers surnamed Han, and he immediately smiled and said: "What Master Xiang said is not bad, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is most convenient for our army to go south and take Tangyi directly. But the master and the wise man have a thousand thoughts, but there is also an occasional mistake, because the master you have forgotten a way, gallop! ”

Xiang Bo looked at Feng Zhong suspiciously, but Feng Zhong talked eloquently and said: "Master Xiang must have forgotten that it is two hundred miles from Xutai to Tangyi, and it is one hundred and thirty miles from Tangyi to Guangling. And if our army takes Huaiyin first, it can go directly south to Guangling along the wide and smooth road built by the tyrannical Qin, during which our army only needs to walk about 140 miles of ordinary roads, and at the same time can also obtain the benefits of transporting grain by waterway of the Huai River, which not only saves time, but also saves the grain and grass of the people needed to transport grain. ”

Xiang Bo was speechless, and only after a while did he continue to pick bones in the eggs, and said: "Huaiyin Chengjian, our army has not been able to attack several times before, and has sacrificed the lives of many soldiers, if this still can't be taken, what is the use of the road no matter how easy it is?" ”

"Master rest assured, this time is already another time." Feng Zhong smiled and said: "Although the city of Huaiyin is strong and not easy to attack, our young marshal Xiang has annihilated the main force of the tyrannical Qin army of Donghai County, and also won the city of Donghai County in one fell swoop. ”

"That's easy to say."

Xiang Bo snorted loudly, disdainful of Feng Zhong's words to the extreme. It's a pity that the other young marshals don't see it that way, and Ma Pei, the commander of Xutai County, who took the initiative to surrender before, immediately stood up and said to Feng Zhong: "What General Feng said is extremely true, when I heard that Gongsun Qing was dead and Tancheng had been broken, the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin must be frightened and have no intention of fighting again. The subordinate is not talented, and Liu Dingzhi, the commander of Huaiyin County, has a small friendship, and is willing to send an envoy to Huaiyin for the general, and persuade Liu Dingzhi to surrender in Kaecheng, and General Wanwang agrees. ”

Hearing this, Feng Zhong of course was overjoyed, and he opened his mouth to agree, but the soldier surnamed Han behind him suddenly coughed, and at the same time tapped his finger on Feng Zhong's back, Feng Zhong woke up, and said with a smile: "Ma Xianzun is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and voluntarily went to take risks to persuade the violent Qin army in Huaiyin to surrender, this general is really moved." But no, it's too dangerous to do this, and Ben is really reluctant to let the county take such a big risk. ”

"The general doesn't have to worry." Ma Pei insisted and said: "Since Ma returned to Dachu, he has not built the work of size, and he is really ashamed in his heart. Now that there is an opportunity, the subordinates are willing to take this risk and help the general achieve great things. ”

Feng Zhong still insisted on shaking his head, and once again refused Ma Pei's kindness to volunteer, Ma Pei was helpless, so he had to ask Feng Zhong what he planned to do, but Feng Zhong replied: "There is no hurry to surrender, the previous time our army attacked Huaiyin and lost more than 160 soldiers, and this revenge must be avenged." What this general means is that after our army sends troops, we should put a white flag in the army and write four big characters of revenge, revenge, snow and hatred, so that the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin will clearly know that our army will advance eastward this time, in addition to taking Huaiyin City, we must also settle our old debts from the last siege! ”

Everyone was stunned together, and then of course Xiang Bo laughed wildly, and Chen Ying and Ma Pei and the other young marshals who were more oriented towards Feng Zhong were also surprised and said, "General Feng, you're not joking, are you?" If we do this, won't we force the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin to death? How could the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin still surrender to us? ”

"Don't ask, just do it." Feng Zhong insisted, and said: "Everyone go back today and prepare to send troops, and tomorrow at noon, we will send troops east to take down Huaiyin." ”

Chen Ying, Ma Pei and the others were dumbfounded again, but Xiang Bo laughed happily and couldn't wait to say, "Did you hear that?" General Feng has already ordered, hurry up and prepare, and we will send troops east to fight Huaiyin at noon tomorrow. And remember, prepare the banner of revenge, and also release the news, so that the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin knows that we are going to settle old accounts with them this time! ”

The young marshal didn't dare to take Xiang Bo's stubble, but turned his eyes to Feng Zhong, and Feng Zhong smiled and said: "Go and prepare, tonight will have people prepare a banquet, let's get together again, arrange the affairs of the left in Xutai casually, and set off tomorrow to fight Huaiyin." ”

The young marshal's army looked at each other, but they couldn't resist Feng Zhong's repeated urgings, so they had to take the order to prepare, and Xiang Bo also took Xiang You with a smile on his face. As a result, after everyone had left, Feng Zhong said to the soldiers surnamed Han behind him: "It's really hard to endure, if you hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to tell them our true intentions." ”

"You have to endure it." The soldier surnamed Han replied: "General, when you first ascend to a high position, not only Master Xiang will definitely not be convinced, but Chen Duwei and Xiang Qianren may not be convinced in their hearts, if you don't make a little bit of mystery, so that they can't see through the general's methods and skills, how can they know the general's cleverness?" Bear with it for a few days, then surprise them again, and they will really listen to you. ”

Feng Zhong nodded again and again, patted the shoulder of the soldier surnamed Han and said: "Good life help me, I can't treat you badly, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely personally recommend you in front of the young marshal and ask him to reuse you." ”

"I hope you can do what you say." The soldiers surnamed Han muttered in their hearts, and they were somewhat dissatisfied with Feng Zhong's repeated embezzlement of his own merits and the corruption of his own planning and planning.

…………

When Feng Zhong and the soldiers surnamed Han were pregnant with ghosts, Xiang Bo also returned to his residence with a smile on his face, and as soon as they met, he couldn't wait to tell his friend Zhang Liang about the meeting, but Zhang Liang was of course inexplicable when he heard it, and said: "It's right to fight Huaiyin first, if I command your southern army, it must be Huaiyin first, and then Guangling, but what is the name of the ghost to directly play the banner of revenge?" Wouldn't it be even more difficult to force the tyrannical Qin army into a dead end, and then try to take Huaiyin? ”

"The villain has to be ambitious." Xiang Bo said contemptuously: "I don't listen to anyone's advice, I insist on doing this, and the old man doesn't bother to care, wait for him to suffer, and then see how the old man cleans him up!" ”

Zhang Liang pondered, and said after a while: "Uncle, I think it's best for you to find out the situation first, although Feng Zhong, the head of Qian, is from a humble background, he is quite strategic and has a lot of brains in doing things. I suspect that he is so deceitful that he wants to surprise everyone, establish his prestige and prestige, and make everyone obey his true word. ”

Zhang Liang's words Xiang Bo could listen to a little, in order to find out Feng Zhong's true intentions and intentions, when everyone had a banquet in the evening, Xiang Bo tried again and again under the banner of persuading Feng Zhong not to do anything wrong, in a vain attempt to take out something from Feng Zhong's mouth, but unfortunately Feng Zhong was determined to keep it secret, and gritted his teeth and did not confide in the slightest rumor. In a hurry, Uncle Xiang, who was short-tempered and arrogant, also had a dispute with Feng Zhong, which led to an unhappy dinner party.

At noon the next day, after spending money to bribe a fortune teller and pretend to be a ghost, he got the sign of Feng Zhong to lead a young marshal army with a total of more than 5,000 to the east, but when he set off, Xiang Youjun, who was appointed as the forward, really received a side that read: ' Revenge and hatred' four big white flags, at the same time, Feng Zhong also clearly ordered Xiang You to let out the rumors as soon as possible, so that the Huaiyin Qin army knew that the purpose of the army's trip was to settle old accounts, Xiang You had no choice but to follow the order, while beating the revenge banner to the front of the army, while letting the soldiers spread the news to the people along the way, deliberately let the Huaiyin Qin army's careful investigation hear the purpose of the army.

Two days later, on the morning, Xiang You's army, which had advanced lightly, was the first to arrive at the city of Huaiyin, and the Qin army of Huaiyin, led by Liu Dingzhi and Guan Hu, did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and decisively chose to close the city for self-protection. At the same time, the situation was also expected by Xiang Bo and Xiang You's father and son, and the Huaiyin Qin army, who heard the news in advance, not only desperately strengthened the city defense, but also rushed to repair a fortification under Huaiyin City, and put on a posture of defending the city early, which also made the Huaiyin City, which was already very difficult to fight, even more difficult to fight.

In the afternoon of the same day, Feng Zhong led the main force to arrive at the city of Huaiyin, Xiang Bo and Xiang Sui father and son swallowed their anger and went out of the camp to greet them, but only a cursory view of the terrain, Feng Zhong immediately arranged the camp layout, let Xiang Sui's army garrison the west gate of Huaiyin, and led the main force to garrison the south gate, and arranged for a thousand troops to be stationed outside the east gate of Huaiyin, and at the same time sent 500 soldiers to cross the river to the north to guard the wharf, not to give the Huaiyin Qin army a chance to cross the north and flee to the north.

Seeing this scene, of course, all the generals of the young marshal army were puzzled, and they all said to Feng Zhong: "General Feng, how can you arrange the camp like this?" If our army besieges the city on all sides, it is equivalent to forcing the violent Qin army in the city to a dead end, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, and our army wants to break the city again, isn't it even more difficult? ”

"There should be three missing one." Xiang You couldn't help but say: "The Tyrannical Qin army in the city still has a way to go in Guangling, we should deliberately give up the south gate to leave a way for the Tyrannical Qin army to survive, and then launch an attack on the city, so that the siege war will be more certain!" ”

"Let the Tyrannical Qin army run away, then won't our banner of revenge be in vain?" Feng Zhong smiled, pointed to the banner of Xiang You's camp and said, "Brother Xiang You forgot, in addition to attacking the city this time, we also have a purpose to avenge your last siege of the city, leaving a way for the Tyrannical Qin army to escape, how can we take revenge?" ”

Xiang You opened his mouth and stammered, Feng Zhong waved his hand and said, "Just do it, immediately divide the troops and set up camps, and establish a strong camp for a long-term plan!" ”

It was really hard to resist Feng Zhong, and the young marshal army generals had no choice but to follow the order, but they saw that the young marshal's army divided their troops to besiege the city, and even the Qin army's position on the north bank of Huaishui was difficult to escape, and the Qin army in Huaiyin City was of course noisy, the general's face was blue, and the soldiers looked sad, all knew that this time it was already difficult to escape, after the city was broken, the defenders in the city were only afraid that it would be difficult to have a life, and the mood was pessimistic, among the soldiers and civilians, there were even rumors that the young marshal's army would slaughter the city after breaking the city.

Feng Zhong's faint tricks came to this point, of course, Xiang Bo couldn't bear it anymore, regardless of Zhang Liang's dissuasion, he wrote a handwritten letter to Xiang Kang immediately after returning to the camp, accusing Feng Zhong's various perverse acts to his unfilial nephew, and letting Xiang Kang know what kind of goods he used to preside over the southern front of the young marshal's army, and then sent someone to send the letter overnight, and shouted: "Feng Zhong'er, it's just taking our Xiang family's army as a child's play!" forced the old man to be anxious, the old man directly slaughtered him with a knife, forcibly seized the power of the army and took charge of the army himself, see what can he Xiang Kang do to my uncle? ! ”

Zhang Liang didn't stop Xiang Bo's nonsense this time, because Zhang Liang really couldn't see through what kind of medicine Feng Zhong was selling in the gourd this time, if Feng Zhong was really so blind, Zhang Liang would never stop Xiang Bo from seizing power by force and creating an opportunity for himself to show his strength. But......

However, something unexpected happened to Zhang Liang, the next morning, Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo were bored all day long walking around outside the camp at will, in addition to seeing Feng Zhong send troops to the vicinity to cut timber to make siege weapons, and suddenly saw a group of people walking out of Feng Zhong's camp, beating drums and marching towards the south gate of Huaiyin. Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo were curious together, and hurriedly came over to check the situation, and then they were extremely surprised to see that Ma Pei, who had volunteered to persuade Feng Zhong to surrender the Huaiyin defenders, was wearing official uniforms, sitting in a gorgeous carriage, surrounded by musicians, and riding towards the south gate of Huaiyin with a smile on his face.

"What the hell is Feng Zhong'er doing? What did Matthei do with such a big battle? ”

Seeing this scene, of course Xiang Bo was confused, and he couldn't figure out what kind of powerful pills Feng Zhong was selling in the gourd this time, but Zhang Liang suddenly screamed, and slapped his forehead heavily, and shouted in annoyance: "High! Why didn't I think of that? ”

"What did the ovary come to mind?" Xiang Bo hurriedly asked.

"I forgot, if you send an envoy to surrender directly, the tyrannical Qin generals in Huaiyin City are worried, and they may not readily agree to surrender. Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "But Feng Zhong deliberately fooled around like this before, deliberately forced the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin City into a dead end, and then suddenly released a way to live, and the tyrannical Qin army in Huaiyin had to take this way of life." ”

Xiang Bo opened his mouth to stammer, but Zhang Liang reluctantly turned his gaze to Feng Zhong's camp, and muttered, "Feng Zhong, this puppet, is really just a Qianshou villager who has been cultivating for generations?" Shocking first and then soothing is just a common lobbyist trick, how can he be so whimsical and use it to defeat the enemy? Country villager? I, a Korean nobleman, ...... after that, alas! Shame on you! ”

"Absolutely impossible to succeed! Absolute! ”

When Zhang Liang, who had been hit repeatedly, shook his head again, sighed and doubted himself, Xiang Bo was also muttering in despair, "He has already played the banner of revenge before, and the tyrannical Qin army in the city is afraid of our revenge, and it is absolutely impossible to agree to surrender again!" You must not agree, otherwise, there will really be no place to put the old man's old face! ”
