The arrival of Zheng Bujun, the strategic mobile corps of the Han army, not only gave a huge surprise to the partial division of the Western Chu army, but also completely stabilized the situation of the Han army's Songshan defense line that was once in danger.

However, the crisis of the southern front battlefield of the Han army has not passed, even after Zheng Bujun joined the southern front battlefield, the strength of the Han army on the southern front has been basically equal to that of Liu Xiang's coalition army, and the Han army still has little chance of winning in a head-on decisive battle, especially Liu Xiang's coalition army still hides a soldier Han Xin, who is called terrifying, so Xiang Kang still does not dare to take the southern battlefield of the Han army lightly, and has to continue to hide in the southern front army of the Han army, secretly commanding this big battle in person.

Xiang Kang didn't worry much about the deployment of the army, so he let the main force of Zheng Bu's army be stationed under the city of Guishi to maneuver and respond, assign a small force to closely monitor the mountain roads, and then stationed 10,000 troops behind the Cheyuanting camp to help at any time, Xiang Kang basically did not have to worry about the defense of the Han army's Songshan defense line. But after arranging the defensive deployment, Xiang Kang was stunned to find that his arrangements might have fallen into Han Xin's hands and complied with his wishes.

Because Han Xin can afford it, even if the hinterland of Yingchuan has been destroyed and it is difficult to raise grain and grass, but relying on the captured Shenyang military treasury to hide grain, Liu Xiang's coalition army can still confront the Han army on the southern front for a period of time, during which the Nanyang army, which has basically controlled the hinterland of Yingchuan, as long as it actively organizes people to transport grain and grass, Liu Laosan's Nanyang rear can fully support the long-term confrontation between Liu Xiang's coalition army and the Han army on the southern front, and basically will not retreat on its own because the grain and grass are exhausted.

Xiang Kang couldn't afford it, even if the grain and grass of the Han army on the southern front didn't have to worry much, Xiang Kang would never dare to leave the main battlefield of Xingyang for a long time. At the same time, because the Zhao army had firmly supported the Western Chu army, Xiang Kang also had to free up his forces as soon as possible to respond to emergencies on the Hanoi battlefield, which was also under great pressure.

"I'm not in the situation on the main battlefield in Xingyang, and I don't know how long I can hide it, I definitely can't pin my hope on the fact that I have deceived my brother for a long time, I must come up with a way to solve the problem of the southern front as soon as possible." While secretly worrying, Xiang Kang could only rack his brains to figure out how to resolve the crisis on the southern front as soon as possible, and kill or drive away the Liu Xiang coalition army that was entangled in him.

When he secretly left the Xingyang battlefield, in order to be prepared, Xiang Kang left his right-hand men Zhang Liang and Chen Ping in the Guangwu camp, and asked them to help Zhong Liwu lead the main force of the Han army in the Guangwu camp, just brought a few scribes over to help him deal with various affairs, without Zhang Liang and Chen Ping to help staff the military aircraft and give advice, Xiang Kang could only think hard about how to break the enemy alone.

Fortunately, after thinking about it for a while, Xiang Kang soon found that he still had a certain advantage, first of all, Liu Laosan and Han Xin didn't know that they were here in person, thinking that their opponents were just Long He and Zheng Bu, who were not good at strategy, and they were in a favorable position of being the enemy and the enemy; Secondly, whether it was Liu Laosan or Gongao, who commanded the Western Chu army, they would never know that there was only one Han Xin who was really afraid of him.

The third point is the most important, the Han army has found out the accurate information, although Han Xin has been worshiped by Liu Laosan as a general, but the military power is still in Liu Laosan's hands, Han Xin's identity in the Nanyang Army is only the chief of staff, only the right to suggest, but no decision-making power, no matter how good the idea he comes up with, the final decision is still made by Liu Laosan, who is not as good as him in the war.

"This is a good opportunity, as long as I take advantage of it, even if Han Xin comes up with a way to defeat me, as long as Liu Laosan doesn't adopt it, I don't have to worry about anything!"

After discovering this loophole, Xiang Kang quickly found that it was time to use his best and best discord strategy, as long as he could make Liu Laosan suspicious of Han Xin, lose his trust in Han Xin, and no longer obey Han Xin's words, he would be equivalent to cutting off the pillars of Liu Xiang's coalition army, and if he wanted to break the enemy, there was undoubtedly a lot more hope!

Of course, it is not an easy task to use a discord strategy against Liu Laosan, bad luck, and it is likely to backfire like the original Wancheng War, but fortunately, Xiang Kang's history is sparse and he knows that Liu Laosan has always been very vigilant about Han Xin's talent and ability in history, and has forcibly taken away Han Xin's military power more than once, as long as he does a good job in this point, he will not worry about making Liu Laosan and Han Xin suspicious of each other and unable to work together.

Besides, by Liu Laosan and Han Xin's side, there is also the Western Chu Army that is relatively easy to trick and can help with this, right? It really can't separate the current intimate relationship between Liu Laosan and Han Xin, and you can also try to separate the relationship between the Nanyang Army and the Western Chu Army! So soon, another insidious and vicious shameless trick, or a serial poisonous scheme, gradually took shape in Xiang Kang's mind......

…………

Han Xin is of course definitely worthy of Xiang Kang's deliberate targeting, although he has no God's perspective, he doesn't know that Xiang Kang has taken a big risk to personally come to the Songshan battlefield to deal with him, but just after confirming the news that the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived, Han Xin immediately made a suggestion to Liu Laosan, and said: "King, we can't take the offensive anymore, the reinforcements of the Han thieves have arrived, and we are no longer sure that we want to break through the Songshan defense line of the Han thieves by storming, on the contrary, there is a possibility that the Han thief army will severely damage our army strength by virtue of the favorable terrain." ”

"The best way can only be a deep ditch and a high fortress, and a long-term confrontation with the Han thief army, until other battlefields of the Han thief army change, and they are forced to make deployment adjustments, or the army of the Songshan battlefield is transferred to reinforce other battlefields, and then we will improvise and try to break the enemy."

Of course, Liu Laosan did not hesitate to adopt this suggestion that made Xiang Kang the most uncomfortable, and immediately let the Nanyang army turn from offensive to defensive, and make every effort to strengthen the camp with deep ditches and high fortifications, and prepare for a long-term confrontation with the Han army. At the same time, Liu Laosan also personally came forward to persuade Gongao, who commanded the partial division of the Western Chu Army, to adopt the same strategy, but because he had already grasped the forced breakthrough of the Han Army's Songshan defense line, he did not dare to continue to take risks and let himself go back and could not explain to Xiang Yu, Gongao was also forced to agree to this strategy, and also let the Western Chu Army's partial division seize the time to repair the camp defense, and at the same time send someone to report to Xiang Yu the actual situation of the Songshan battlefield, and ask Xiang Yu to agree that he and Liu Laosan temporarily adopt confrontation tactics to contain the strategic mobile force of the Han Army for the main force of the Western Chu Army.

On the afternoon of the second day when Liu Xiang's coalition army had just begun to strengthen the camp, a man dressed as a common man suddenly ran to the door of the Nanyang army camp, claiming that he was an old friend of Han Xin, the general of the Nanyang army, and that he had an important event to ask to meet with Han Xin, and asked the Nanyang sergeant to act as a general gift. At first, the janitor of the Nanyang Army didn't bother to pay attention to such an abrupt request, but after the man quietly stuffed the doorman with a heavy small cloth bag, the Nanyang sergeant guarding the door still met his request and reported the news to Han Xin.

For no reason, there was a sudden visit from an old person, and Han Xin, who basically had no friends, of course refused to meet easily, and the Nanyang sergeant, who had no choice but to come to Tongyu, added, and said: "General, that person also said that he is a relative of a drifting mother you know, and I hope you will see him for the sake of drifting mother's face." ”

"A drifting mother relative I know?" Han Xin's unprecedented face changed, and he subconsciously remembered his past, and then he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered his own soldiers: "Quickly, go and invite that person and be polite to him." (I don't think this allusion needs to be explained, right?) ）

In a moment, the man who claimed to be Han Xin's old man was invited to Han Xin's face, Han Xin looked carefully, and saw that the person who came had never seen him, so he naturally asked for his identity and name, but the man gave Han Xin a look, saluted and said, "General, can you speak alone?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, for the sake of the face of the drifting mother who had great kindness to him, Han Xin still bowed to the left and right, and the left and right soldiers understood, and immediately retreated to wait outside the tent, and the man took out a letter and a pair of jade walls, and whispered with a smile on his face: "Don't blame the general, the villain has indeed never seen you, not your old friend, in fact, the villain's name is Jiang Zhong, and he is the little official under the account of the Han State Longhe General, with the secret order of the General Long, and came to meet you under the pretense of identity, this is our handwritten letter from General Long to you, please take a look." ”

Before the Han army envoy's words were finished, Han Xin's face had changed again, and when he took the letter very angrily, he saw Long He mentioned his past in the young marshal army team in the letter, and he was moved by his old feelings, and also admitted that Xiang Kang had no eyes at the beginning, and did not find such a peerless talent as Han Xin, and regretted it very much afterwards. Then he tried his best to persuade Han Xin to return to his old master, act as an internal response for the Han army, help Liu Laosan of the Han army, and promised to ask Xiang Kang to give Han Xin a seal to pay homage to the general after the matter was completed, and reuse it.

In history, even Xiang Yu used three points of the world as bait, but he couldn't say that Han Xin betrayed Liu Laosan, this will be a dragon and only a mere feudal marquis will be a lure condition, Han Xin of course will not be moved, just after reading the letter, he sneered and said: "Go back and tell Long Ji, just say that his kindness is understood by the general, but the king of Nanyang treats me like a mountain, and I will never do anything to be sorry for the king of Nanyang." In addition, by the way, tell Long And, just say that Xiang Kang is now surrounded by enemies, and the destruction is only in the future, if he is smart, quickly lead the army to surrender to our Nanyang King, our Nanyang King will not only not kill him, but will definitely not treat him badly. ”

"General, why are you doing this?" The envoy of the Han army persuaded: "Our king used to be a little sorry for you, but after he knew that he missed a great talent like you, the general, he not only regretted it, but also sent someone to Huaiyin to bring the drifting mother who had a great kindness to you to Guanzhong to be entertained, our king's sincerity has come to this point, don't you understand, general?" ”

"Drifting mother, her old man was taken to Guanzhong by you?" Han Xin asked in surprise.

The envoy of the Han army nodded and said: "It was General Long who told the villain, when our king sent someone to visit the general about your situation, he knew that the drifting mother in Huaiyin had a great favor to you, so he took her to Guanzhong for good student placement, and now she is doing well in her old family, and she is also looking forward to seeing you." ”

Han Xin felt a little unbelievable, and couldn't believe that Xiang Kang could have such a good heart and treat the drifting mother who saved him from starvation in the first place, but the Han army envoy was conclusive, and Han Xin couldn't determine whether it was true or false, so he could only believe it, and said: "Then please tell General Long He another sentence by the way, just say that the kindness of King Han to my benefactor, I also understand it, if there is a chance, I will definitely double the reward." But if I want to betray the king of Nanyang, it is a pipe dream! ”

The Han envoy persuaded again, but Han Xin refused to listen, and the Han envoy had no choice but to change his words and say: "Since the general is so insistent, the little envoy does not dare to force it, so he can only say goodbye and go back to resume his life." I don't know if the general can write to our General Long or your benefactor, Drifting Mother, and the little envoy can bring it back for you. ”

Considering the great kindness of Drifting Mother to herself, she couldn't help but give her a formal explanation, Han Xin hesitated, but still wrote a handwritten letter to Drifting Mother, telling her about her current situation, and asking Drifting Mother to wait for her reunion with her in Guanzhong, and then thank her in person for her great kindness - it was really a great grace for life, otherwise Han Xin would have starved to death by then. Then he handed the letter to the Han army envoy and asked him to take it back to the drifting mother, the Han army envoy carefully put it away, and then hurriedly said goodbye and went back to resume his life, Han Xin insisted that he take away the jade wall that Long He gave to himself, and the Han army envoy did not dare to refuse.

Of course, Han Xin seriously underestimated Liu Laosan's control over the army, and it was only in the evening of the same day, when he had dinner with Han Xin, Liu Laosan asked about this matter very casually, asking why the old man came here to visit Han Xin? Han Xin told the truth, admitting that it was a dragon and sent someone to pretend to be his old man to come to the camp to persuade him to surrender, and also casually told Liu Laosan about the drifting mother, Liu Laosan listened to the complaint, and said: "General, this is your fault, since the drifting mother in Huaiyin has a great favor to you, then why didn't you tell this king earlier?" This king must have sent someone to bring her old man to reunite with you a long time ago, how could he let Xiang Kang's little traitor take the lead? ”

"Your Majesty is also full of regrets now." Han Xin replied: "If I had known that Xiang Kang's traitor would be so treacherous, and he didn't even forget to use his subordinates' benefactors, his subordinates should have sent someone to Huaiyin to pick her up." ”

"It's fine." Liu Laosan said arrogantly: "Xiang Kang, that little traitor has always liked hypocrisy, presumably he will not do anything to your benefactor, and when we enter the pass, this king will personally thank the drifting mother for you, and repay her for her great kindness to you back then." ”

Of course, Liu Laosan's urine sex was placed here, and he said it very beautifully, but he was somewhat suspicious in his heart, and said secretly: "Is this really the case?" It's better to be careful in the future. ”

At the same time in the Han military camp, Han Xin's handwritten letter to Drifting Mother had of course been put in front of Xiang Kang, and after asking him to understand that it was indeed Han Xin's handwriting, Xiang Kang was also very happy to say: "I didn't expect to really deceive Han Xin's handwritten letter directly, which can save a lot of trouble and save countless time." "——I must explain here, if you can't directly deceive Han Xin's letter, as long as you are willing to pay the price, Xiang Kang has other channels to get Han Xin's handwritten documents, right?

Fortunately, Xiang Kang first handed over Han Xin's letter to the Han army scribes he brought from the Xingyang battlefield for study, and asked if he could forge a letter with the same handwriting, and after getting a positive answer, Xiang Kang was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, immediately imitate this handwriting, and write a letter to the overlord of Western Chu in Han Xin's tone." ”

"King, what's the content?" A few scribes hurriedly asked.

"In Han Xin's tone, I told my brother, saying that he heard accurate news in the team of Liu Ji's thief army, Liu Ji insisted on entering Hangu Pass, not because we did not allow the army of the princes outside the pass to enter the pass, but because Liu Ji coveted the throne of the first to enter the pass, so he did not listen to my brother's call to enter the soldiers, and wanted to be the first to enter Hangu Pass, forcing my brother to recognize him as the king of Guanzhong. For this reason, Liu Ji also secretly killed the messenger sent by my brother to give him an order. ”

"Then tell my brother in Han Xin's tone, just say that Liu Ji has always been afraid of the matter being exposed, and my brother has been looking for him to settle accounts, and he has already given birth to a rebellious heart, but he didn't dare to offend me and my brother at the same time, so he had to temporarily make a mistake with my brother, this time he marched to Cheyuan Pavilion and refused to attack our camp because Liu Ji wanted to save his strength and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, so that my brother and we would lose both, and then he would reap the profits, Liu Ji also whispered, if possible, He also wants to kill even my brother and dominate the world. ”

"Finally, I told my brother in Han Xin's tone, saying that Liu Jipifu was ambitious and ambitious, and he had long planned to annex the world, and persuaded my brother to take this opportunity to kill Liu Ji, let Han Xin, the general of Nanyang, take over the Nanyang army, help my brother deal with us, and by the way, I also swore a few poisonous oaths for Han Xin, swearing to be loyal to my brother for the rest of my life."

"By the way, don't forget, at the beginning of the letter, let Han Xin and Brother reminisce about the past, just saying that he has not forgotten my brother, the old master, and stooped down to Liu Ji's account, just to keep an eye on Liu Ji for my brother."

The content of the letter that Xiang Kang casually ordered was too complicated and the organization was not clear enough, and the Han army scribe first typed the draft several times according to the meaning, until Xiang Kang nodded with satisfaction, and then began to imitate Han Xin's handwriting and wrote a so-called Han Xin's handwritten letter to Xiang Yu. After the letter was completed, Xiang Kang was overjoyed, first rewarded a few scribes, and then arranged for the dead man to come forward and let him pretend to be Han Xin's henchman, and rushed back to Xingyang overnight to deliver the letter for 'Han Xin'.

Seeing Xiang Kang's arrangement, he had long been accustomed to Xiang Kang's faction, and of course he hurried to flatter, and praised Xiang Kang's clever plan like a god, this time he had to make Xiang Yu suspicious of Liu Laosan, but Xiang Kang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, if you want to use the discord to make our enemies on the southern front completely chaotic, we have to continue to work hard." ”
