Volume 17 Redefining the Central Plains Chapter 28 The Cunning Fox and the Tiger

The rare continuous spring rain that had been pouring for more than six months finally stopped, and the clouds opened and the rain dispersed. The clear blue sky was revealed, and it looked very refreshing!

But the situation on the ground is not optimistic: on the vast land east of Huaishui, the water on the flat ground is one or two feet deep, the roads are even more muddy, rotten to the knees, and the vehicles, mules and horses are difficult to walk. The water volume of many originally dry riverbeds has skyrocketed, and the water of the Huai River is especially turbulent and waves.

Although the situation in the Huaishang area looks bad, fortunately, the world was in turmoil for a short time, and the water conservancy facilities in various places were not seriously damaged, so there were no serious floods. However, a large amount of wheat and crops have been soaked in knee-deep muddy water for a long time, and most of them have died of disease and withering, and it is inevitable that there will be a large-scale reduction in grain production in the Huaishang area this year. Of course, the continuous wars in the Huaishang area in recent years have aggravated this trend of food shortage!

In the face of this terrible prospect, it naturally reminds people of the old saying, 'Death, the people suffer, prosperity, the people suffer'!

The Qin army Guangling Beida Camp.

In the vast camp, the idle Qin soldiers either dozed off with the curtains of the door, or sat together chatting and gossiping; Some of the bold even secretly gathered together to gamble on two, and at this special time, the officers also turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. Indeed, with the current bad situation in the Huaishang area, the Qin army can only rust in the barracks, and they can't even carry out normal training, let alone march and fight!

Faced with such a dilemma, the generals of the Qin camp were helpless, and even Han Xin, who had always been resourceful, could only stay in the camp all day to study the art of war and chat to survive. For a while, Qin Jun's life was comfortable, but very boring!

On this day, Han Xin was studying in the camp, and suddenly a pro-soldier urgently reported: "General." His Majesty's personal envoy has arrived at the camp gate with the holy decree, please go and greet the general quickly!" Oh, quick, come on, change clothes! Also, immediately beat the drums and gather the generals and go out of the camp together!" Han Xin didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put down the book. "Whoa!" The soldiers answered and hurried down.

Soon, the rumbling sound of Chinese military drums swirled and stirred through the vast barracks. For most of the month, the generals of the Qin army, who had nothing to do, were either drinking and chatting, or reading books and strolling, when they suddenly heard the sound of the drums of the generals, and they couldn't help but be enthusiastic: finally a little serious to do!

In the blink of an eye, the generals gathered at the Shuai tent, and Han Xin led the team to meet them, and the envoy was connected to the Shuai tent.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Zi Huaiyin Marquis, the general Han Xin repeatedly built a miracle, the heart is very comforted, now it is the courage to kill the enemy chief Liang, the great merit, the special seal of 10,000 food yi, in order to praise. Don't be arrogant, don't be impatient. Continue to contribute to the country and pacify Chudi. Chin this β€”β€”!" The envoy's voice dragged on for a long time, stretching the posture to the fullest.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Han Xinbai took the holy decree and enshrined it on the handsome case. Then he smiled and said: "The envoy has come from afar to work hard, and the general will prepare a thin wine." A wash of dust. Someone is coming, first bring the envoy to rest below!" There is labor, there is labor!" The envoy didn't dare to pose in front of Han Xin, he was very humble!

The envoy left. The generals immediately congratulated Han Xin with a tidal wave.

Cao Shen said with a smile: "Congratulations to the general, now my Great Qin is the most prominent in addition to the Jingyang Junben who attacked Wang Jian's old general Shiyi, as well as the generals Meng Tian, Li Xin, and the general Zhang Han!"

Wu Rui was a little disappreciative and said: "Zhang Han is just a general, and His Majesty is just being treated favorably." Its exploits are not at all comparable to that of a great general; General Wang Ben has this qualification, but in recent years, he has been sick and has basically ignored the military; As for the two generals, Meng Tian and Li Xin, I think that the ability to use troops may not be as good as that of General Han, so at present, among our army, we should respect General Han!"

Han Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "The generals are too famous, General Meng Tian and General Li Xin are much more senior than Han, the two of them have fought in the south and the north, and have made outstanding achievements, how dare Han Xin compare with the two of them!" The implication is that he is polite to Meng Tian and Li Xin, but he obviously doesn't pay attention to the sick man Wang Ben and the general Zhang Han.

Indeed, with Han Xin's arrogant character and peerless talent, he is not a person who is willing to live under others. His character is not suitable for being an emperor, and he has never thought of competing with Fusu for the throne, but in the military field, Han Xin is still quite conceited. Maybe looking at the world, only Fusu's use of troops can make Han Xinxin convinced, as for the others, in Han Xindi's eyes, they are just general or general!

The generals have been following Han Xin for a long time, and they have a clear understanding of Han Xin's temper, and they understand the meaning of those words in their hearts, but they don't feel that there is anything wrong, after all, Han Xin's military exploits are there: in more than a month, he even broke Guangling and Long Ji, and even killed Xiang Liang, the head of the princes in the world, and this peerless talent is that Meng Tian and Li Xin are also a little difficult to compare.

While the crowd was congratulating, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent moved, and a messenger rushed in with dust and mud. "General, report urgently, the soldiers and horses of the Chu army near Pengcheng are rapidly assembling, it seems that there is an intention to go south to conquer, please decide!"

"Oh!?" Han Xin was a little surprised: as soon as the heavy rain stopped, he was in a hurry to send troops, and it seemed that the Chu people were in a hurry to avenge Xiang Liang! Then he asked, "Have you ever found out who led the troops?" The messenger shook his head and said, "I haven't found out yet!"

"Hmm-" Han Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the road is muddy, the Chu people will have to wait for ten days and eight days if they want to go south!" Keep inquiring and report back as soon as you have any news!" Whoa!" The Courier nodded and went down.

"General, now that Zhaogong, Long Ji, and Xiang Liang have been killed one after another, who will the Chu State send to lead the army this time?" Cao Shen asked.

Han Xin pondered for a while and said: "As soon as Xiang Liang dies, Xiang Yu has been dependent on him since he was a child, and he will definitely decide to go south and avenge his uncle, so Xiang Yu will definitely come this time." However, Song Yi and Huan Chu will not easily let the Xiang clan take charge of power again, so even if the Chu people send troops this time, the commander will not be Xiang Yu, but one of the two Song Yi and Huan Chu, and the other will stay in Pengcheng! However, it is most likely Song Yi, after all, this veteran is cautious and wise, while Huan Chu is a little shallow and anxious, and Han is at least eighty percent sure of this!"

The people will hear and be justified. Wu Rui was a little worried: "General, if Song Yi commands the army, this will be a little troublesome. Song Yi is a veteran, in the past, he was listed as one of the three major generals of Chu State with Xiang Yan and Jing Qi, Sha Sheng is extremely experienced, and he is also cautious, plus he has the world's fierce general Xiang Yu as his wings, I am afraid it is much more difficult to deal with than Xiang Liang, who is proud and conceited and does not accept his loyalty, and the general must prepare early!"

Han Xin suddenly smiled: "Hahaha... The generals were a little confused, and Wu Rui wondered: "Why is the general laughing!?" But what did you say wrong!?" Han Xin shook his head. regained his composure, and said lightly: "Song Yi, Xiang Yu, one is timid and old, one is stupid, what are you afraid of!" The generals will go back to the camp separately, and see how Han will play with them in the future!" As he spoke, he laughed and walked away. The generals were stunned: This General Han is so strong and confident, it seems that this time Song Yi and Xiang Yu are more auspicious!

The rain has stopped near Pengcheng for several days. The water had just receded, and the mud was drying up. The trees and grass beside the road finally began to sway in the warm spring breeze. It gives people a mesmerizing greenery.

And from Jicheng through Pengcheng, it stretches south to Huijidi Straight Road and a coastal road. Rely on advanced design and excellent drainage system. Compared with other roads, it has restored its proper transportation function, which has brought some comfort to the people of Huaishang Chu, who have suffered from the rain.

For a time, because of the rain, the commercial activities that had been intermittent for a long time were quickly revived: countless food, medicinal materials, and daily necessities urgently needed from all over the country quickly penetrated into all parts of Huaishang through the straight road, and the Chu people, who had been short of medicine for a long time, finally got rid of the difficult predicament temporarily!

But. As the weather cleared and the traffic situation improved, the clouds of war intensified again: the Qin and Chu armies began to dispatch their own troops and motivate their troops. The thick smell of gunpowder filled the Huaishang area in an instant, adding a touch of sadness to the foreheads of the Chu people who had just breathed a sigh of relief!

"Du-meet-β€”β€”......" A loud and powerful drum and trumpet sounded like thunder, from the south gate of Pengcheng to the sky. It seems that even the white flowers of the flowers were trembling slightly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chu army passed through the south gate in full gear amid the sound of passionate drums and trumpets, and marched towards the unpredictable journey without hesitation. Although many of them may never have the opportunity to return to their homeland, these Chu soldiers are very excited and proud at the moment. Because there are as many as tens of thousands of people near the city gate to see them off, in the face of the ardent expectations of the fathers and elders in their hometown, how can these heroic soldiers not feel their blood boiling!

At this time, Xiang Yu's mood was very different from that of ordinary Chu army soldiers and was much more complicated: not only the mourning and grief of Xiang Liang's death, but also the resentment and gnashing teeth of Song Yi and Huan Chu who had seized the right to command the army. There is also reluctance and tenderness for his wife Yu Ji. For a while, Xiang Yu's bronzed face on the side of the city gate riding the Wuqi Marquis seemed to be a little iron-blue, and his strange eyes were even more like a layer of black fog, which made people dare not look at each other! However, behind the black fog, there seems to be a trace of expectation and self-satisfaction, why is this? Now, of course, I don't know!

Suddenly, a rider rushed out of the city cave to Xiang Yu's side and said respectfully: "Young General, it's not too early, hurry up and get on the road!" Xiang Yu looked at it, but it was Xiang Zhuang, the general of Chu Xiang and the confidant of the Xiang family, and the clan brother of the same generation as Xiang Yu, nodded and said, "Well, I know, has the Chinese army also been opened?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said in a low voice: "Song Yi has just drunk the send-off wine of the King of Chu, and he is coming from the school to lead the troops!" Hmph, bad old man, see how long you can be proud!" Xiang Yu snorted coldly from his nose, the color in his eyes was very complicated!

Xiang Zhuang was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered: "Young General, be quiet, if Song Yi listens to it, I'm afraid it will be bad for the Young General!" Xiang Yu didn't speak, but sneered disdainfully, and a murderous aura came out of his eyes!

At this moment, a fiery red suddenly appeared at the city gate, and the red flame-like eyes were extraordinarily eye-catching and stimulating to the eyes of the Chu people, so in an instant, a warm cheer broke out at the city gate: "Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang! Chu Xiang ......!" That kind of heartfelt cheer undoubtedly shows the Chu people's love and support for Chu Xiang's soldiers.

At this time, Xiang Yu, who had always had a gloomy face, showed a rare smile of relief, happy that the athletes under his command were so embraced by the Chu people, and for a while, the unhappiness in his heart seemed to disappear all at once.

Xiang Yu pulled the horse's head, Wu Yu snorted, and was about to move, at this time, Xiang Yu couldn't help but look back, hoping to find the shadow that made him worry! It's a pity. Touching the eye, in addition to the blazing earth fire infrared, it is the banner of the yellow clouds, which is majestic, but there is no delicate that makes the hero bend his waist.

Xiang Yu sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh at himself secretly: "Sister Ji is pregnant, I have long ordered him to stay at home to rest and not to come to see me, why do you still want to see her send me when I leave!?" I'm a dignified nine-foot man, how can I become such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law! Let's go, how can the father's revenge be avenged and take care of the children's private affairs. Wait until you have cleaned up the little thief Han Xin who killed your uncle and come back to see Sister Ji!" After thinking about it, Xiang Yu gently patted Wu Yu's buttocks. The black horse answered, and giggled and moved its majestic limbs forward.

Suddenly, a coquettish cry that made Xiang Yu overjoyed came: "Xiang Lang, take care!" Xiang Yu's heart trembled, and he turned around, but saw a person in the city wearing a white Luo skirt, so beautiful that he looked like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, not who Yu Ji was!

Suddenly, the eyes that were originally full of murder and sorrow suddenly became empty, full of watery tenderness. "Yu Ji! You're still here!" Xiang Yu was silently happy in his heart. Looking at the beloved woman from afar. Yu Ji also silently looked at Xiang Yu under the city, showing her attachment and reluctance to the majestic back and resolute face, and tears were faint in her charming eyes. It's like a hazy mist.

The two men stared at each other in the air, entangled, though they did not speak. But all affection and concern are in plain sight. "Yu Ji, take care of yourself and our children, and wait for me to come back!" Xiang Yu's heart was full of tenderness, and he gently stretched out his big hand. He pointed to his heart and lower abdomen with his index finger, and expressed the hope in his heart. Yu Ji comprehended, and also pointed to her heart and lower abdomen and nodded solemnly to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and turned his head sharply. The pantothenic part of the nose suddenly slapped heavily on the buttocks of the black horse. With a majestic long neigh, the horses of the Chu army lost their color! A black figure swept through with a gust of wind. Behind her, the beautiful Yu Ji could no longer hold back her tears of sadness, and two lines of crystal tears slowly flowed down her cheeks and gently dripped down the ancient city!

On the coastal road, 100,000 Chu troops marched and rode their horses to the south to meet Han Xin.

Qin Ying at this timeβ€”β€”

"The general is really like a god, this time the Chu army sent 100,000 troops, with Song Yi as the main general and Xiang Yu as the deputy, and they are coming!" Cao Shen admired with a look of admiration: Since General Han led the troops, it seems that there is nothing that is not in his calculations, and the true gods are also!

Han Xin smiled and said, "General Cao is overrated, this time in addition to Song Yi and Xiang Yu, what other well-known figures are there in the Chu army?" Cao Shen hurriedly said: "I just found out, only the military Fan Zeng accompanied him. In addition, because Xiang Yu's wife was pregnant, in order to protect the only root and seedling of the Xiang family, Xiang Bo did not accompany him and was responsible for staying in Pengcheng. The rest of the people are all unknowns, and they are not worth mentioning!" Han Xin smiled when he heard this: "God help me succeed!" This time Song Yi and Xiang Yu are out of Pengcheng, don't think about going back alive!"

The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and Wu Rui asked: "The general said this, could it be that he has a strategy to break the enemy?" I would like to hear about it!" Han Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "You should know about it in the future, but you can't say it now!" Then he said 'scatter the tent' and went away, leaving only the generals who were still confused.

Fortunately, the generals had long been accustomed to Han Xin's behavior, shrugged their shoulders, and had no choice but to disperse helplessly!

On the same day, about 100,000 Qin troops who had been replenished and rested by the Huiji battalion also rose from the camp and went north to meet the Chu army!

For a time, the war drums of the Huaishang earth were faint, the beacon smoke was shaking, and everywhere was full of tension and uneasiness!

On this day, when the 100,000 Qin army arrived at Baima Lake, it was getting late, and Han Xin ordered the army to set up camp.

In the evening, when there was nothing to do, Han Xin and the generals took advantage of the sunset to come to the shore of the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery: sparkling, red glow Wandao, sand gulls soaring, misty smoke and waves, the White Horse Lake at night was so beautiful that it was like a fairyland on earth, and Han Xin was so happy that everyone in Han Xin was happy.

After revisiting the old place, looking at the embankment of White Horse Lake that had been repaired by Xiang Liang, Han Xin couldn't help but feel a little wrong!

At this moment, a horse suddenly came to report to the flying horse: "General, urgent military situation: Song Yi and Ding Yu have led 100,000 Chu troops to Huai'an, and they are mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for battle!"

"Oh, got it! Go back and explore again!" Han Xin nodded and said lightly. "Whoa!" Reprimanded Pegasus and left.

"General. In that case, how can we deal with it?" Wu Rui asked.

Han Xin smiled: "How to deal with it!?" Hehe, don't worry, it's less than two hundred miles, just walk slowly! Old man Song Yi must be waiting for us obediently in Huai'an City!"

Cao Shen was a little surprised and said: "Why is the general sure that Song Yi does not dare to fight, and only dares to rely on the city to take me?" Han Xin said with a smile: "Song Yi is cautious, in other words, he is timid, the defeat of Zhaogong, Long Ji, and Xiang Liang is not far away, how can he not be afraid, so he does not have the courage to fight with our army in the field." This is one of them. Second, the elite corps of the Chu army has basically been wiped out with the death of Long Ji and Xiang Liang, and the current 100,000 Chu army is mostly new recruits, and the combat power is not strong, and he will lose too much in the field battle with our army, so according to Song Yi's cautious temper, he will naturally choose to use the city to offset the lack of combat power of the Chu army!"

"I see, then this battle is a little difficult to fight: Song Yi is cautious, Xiang Yu is brave, and the two of them led 100,000 troops to sit in the Jiancheng Huai'an, and our army is only 100,000. What can I do?" Cao Shen was a little worried.

Han Xin smiled: "In my eyes, Song Yi is already a dead man, and the rest of Xiang Yu is reckless." What are you afraid of?" Everyone was shocked: "Why did the general say this?" Han Xin laughed and whispered a few words. Then he said with a smile: "As long as this is the case, you can use Xiang Yu's hand to get rid of Song Yi, not only to cut off the enemy's arm, but also to lead to civil strife." Wouldn't it be a pleasure! This is a plan to 'kill people with a knife', and it can also be called 'driving the tiger and devouring the wolf'!" The generals were shocked when they heard this: "The great general is a god!" Han Shin laughed!

On the same day, 100,000 Qin troops came to Huai'an with great momentum, and they wanted to level Huai'an in one fell swoop! The Chu army reprimanded and probed. Meteor flew away from Huai'an......

"When-when-whenβ€”β€”......" A rapid and distant bell rang from the head of Huai'an City, breaking through the mist and tranquility of the early morning, and quickly echoed over the ancient city of Huai'an.

Suddenly, Huai'an City, which was filled with soldiers of the Chu army, suddenly woke up from its slumber, and countless soldiers of the Chu army rose noisily and rushed to the southern city one after another. Song Yi and Xiang Yu were also awakened, and they quickly put on their armor and rushed to Nancheng.

"What's going on, why are you ringing the alarm?" Song Yi came to the city head and asked the captain on duty at the city head. The lieutenant hurriedly said: "General Hui, I just reprimanded the report that a Qin army is coming out of the camp and rushing to kill!" Oh, the Qin army is sick, so early to attack the city, our army hasn't even eaten breakfast!" Song Yi couldn't help frowning and looked out of the city: the outside of the city was foggy, so thick that there were no people dozens of steps away, so no matter how hard Song Yi tried, he couldn't see the situation in the distance at all!

"Pass my general's order: our soldiers will eat in two shifts! The Qin army should just be a test today, and it won't really attack the city!" Song Yi ordered. "Whoa!" The herald went down to give the order. Immediately, the Chu army was divided into two groups, one group to defend the city and the other group to eat, while Song Yi and Xiang Yu did not go down to eat, and both guarded the city to watch the enemy's situation.

The sun was gradually rising, and the thick mist was slowly thinning, but there was still no scene for hundreds of paces. Suddenly, there was a dull sound of horses' hooves and the clanging of armor outside the city, indicating that a military horse was galloping towards it.

"Draw the bow, draw the crossbow, prepare the β€”β€”!" A general of the Chu army shouted, and thousands of crossbowmen on the head of the city quickly prepared for battle, staring at the city with fierce eyes.

Soon, a black-armored Qin army broke out of the mist and stopped when it ran about two hundred steps below the city of Huai'an. When the Qin army was arrayed, the first general came out of the column and shouted: "Cao Shen, the general of the Qin army, is here, who dares to come out and fight with me!?"

β€œγ€‚ Prosperous! Qin Jun dog thief, defeated general!" Xiang Yu snorted coldly at the head of the city, his eyes seemed to become fiery red, and the murderous aura in his eyes was as fierce as a volcanic eruption. Because he heard that the murderer of Xiang Liang had Cao Shen in his hand!

"Come on, order 10,000 soldiers and follow me out of the city!" Xiang Yutie's face was blue, he picked up the black halberd, and turned around to go down to the city. The so-called 'enemies see each other, and their eyes are red', Xiang Yu really can't wait to catch Cao Shen immediately and cut it into eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight pieces!

"Wait!" Song Yi stopped Xiang Yu: "General Xiang wants to go out of the city to fight?" Xiang Yu turned his head and said coldly: "This person is showing off his power under the city, bullying me and no one in the Chu army, can he let him run rampant!" Also, this person is one of the murderers of my uncle, and Xiang vowed to coax him quickly! Why did the general stop me!?"

The white-haired Song Yi was a little dissatisfied with Xiang Yudi's tone, but he forcibly endured his displeasure and said: "General Xiang, don't be reckless, Han Xin is scheming. If you are not an idle person, you will definitely be deceived when you come by the fog this time, and you must not fight!" Xiang Yu smiled when he heard this, with a look of contempt: "Han Xin'er, how can you deceive!?" Isn't the general a little worried!?"

Song Yi frowned and said, "General Xiang, can't you see it!?" It has long been heard that the Qin army is sharp and strong, but the Qin army of about 10,000 people under the city is obviously an old and weak soldier, with Han Xin's shrewdness, how could he send this weak army to send him to death!? Therefore, I expected that there would be an ambush behind him. If I go to war, I will definitely fall into its trap, and it is better to hold the city steadily!" Song Yi has a lot of experience in the battlefield and doesn't dare to take risks easily, especially when facing a dangerous opponent like Han Xin!

Xiang Yu laughed and said: "I regard the Qin army as a native chicken and a tile dog, even if there is an ambush!" He has 100,000 Qin troops coming, and I also regard it as 100,000 pigs and dogs, what are you afraid of! With only one halberd and one horse, I can run freely, not to mention that I still have an army of 100,000 to back it up! The general must not be dissuaded. I've made up my mind, I'm going to fight!" Xiang Yu was driven by hatred, and he had already been surging with fighting spirit. Can’t hold back.

Song Yi was furious when he heard this: "Shut up! Xiang Yu, don't forget that I am the general. You're just a general, and it's not your turn to call the shots in the army! I am polite to you, for the sake of General Xiang Liang, don't think that I am afraid of you. You don't obey again. Don't blame me for not being emotional, and doing military law!" Song Yi couldn't bear the unruly Xiang Yu and reprimanded him angrily.

Song Yi didn't mention the general and deputy general, but when he mentioned this stubble. Xiang Yu immediately remembered the old account of Song Yi and Huan Chu and the party joining forces to suppress the Xiang family at the court meeting in the past, and he couldn't help but be angry, almost losing his mind, and his eyes turned over, and he shouted murderously: ". Prosperous! Song Yi Pifu, you are as timid as a mouse, how can you be a general!? I will not listen to you, what do you dare?"

"You, you, you," Song Yi was so angry that his eyes turned green, and his fingers Xiang Yu just trembled and couldn't say a complete sentence. It's pitiful, Song Yi is also the head of the Song family, one of the three wealthy families in Chu State, and now he is under one person and above ten thousand people in Chu State, but today he is so humiliated by Xiang Yu, Song Yi has a good temper, but he is also so angry that he almost faints!

At this time, Fan Zeng, who was originally patrolling the city on the west, north, and east, had just arrived in the south city, and he got an urgent report from the sergeant: Xiang Yu and Song Yi had a quarrel! Fan Zeng was startled and hurried to persuade him. When I arrived at the scene, I saw that the two of them were glaring at each other like fighting cocks, and they were on the verge of breaking out, so they hurriedly smiled at Song Yi and said: "The general is angry, the general is angry, General Xiang is young and ignorant, short-tempered, and offended, please take care of General Xiang's face!"

Song Yi is not a person who ignores the overall situation, and knows that it is not a good thing to fall out with Xiang Yu now, although there are many people in the Chu army now, but Xiang Yu's subordinates are all elites, and they can't please themselves when they fight, not to mention, it will bring ruin to the Chu State, so they have to endure the anger in their hearts...... Heng said: "I will look at General Xiang Liang's face, and I don't care about him, but if he wants to fight, it will never work!"

Fan Zeng breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Xiang Yu's unconvinced and indignant look, he quickly pulled Xiang Yu aside, and persuaded in a low voice: "Young General, don't be reckless, Song Yi is a general after all, you confronted him so face-to-face, how can he get off the stage!" Xiang Yu said angrily: "Can I watch the revenge of killing my father show off his might under the city and turn a deaf ear!?" Fan Zeng smiled bitterly: "Of course not, it's just that the enemy situation is unknown now, and it is true that you can't fight easily, the young general should bear with it, and let's see!"

Xiang Yu thought about it expressionlessly, seemed to be a little hesitant, didn't know what to think, but suddenly snorted, and then stood by the city wall to observe the enemy's situation, and it seemed that he no longer raised the matter of war - it seems that Fan Zeng's persuasion still has some effect!

Song Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, so he stood at the head of the city and watched the development of the situation under the city.

And Cao Shen waited under the city for a long time, and saw that there was chaos in the city for a while, thinking that the Chu army was going to fight, and when he thought of Xiang Yu's bravery, he couldn't help but be shocked for a while, and then he soon saw that the city was quiet, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "The general said that Song Yi was cautious, and seeing that our army was acting strangely, he would definitely not let Xiang Yu fight, and he really said it!" Hehe, looking at the movement in the city, I'm afraid that the old man Song Yi will be angry with Xiang Yu's reckless man!" Cao Shen has a bit of a taste of schadenfreude.

"General, is it time to start scolding?" A lieutenant behind Cao Shen asked.

"Okay, that's it. Tell the brethren to rebuke hard! Remember, greetings to Xiang Yu's uncle and mother! I don't believe he could endure it for long! As soon as he couldn't help it, Song Yi's old man was dead!" Cao Shenyin laughed twice. "Whoa!" The lieutenant also had a dark smile on his face.

Soon, dozens of loud-voiced Qin army scolders at the head of the city stepped out of the battle, cleared their throats and began to scold: "Xiang Yu'er, gallless rats, your father is dead, headless ghost!" Xiang Liang, Xiang Liang, he is not ashamed to speak, and he is innocent of death. Hurry, hurry!" Xiang Yu's child, your mother is like a pig, her child is like a mouse, after the turtle shrinks into the city, he doesn't dare to fight!" ……

The Qin troops under the city were swearing loudly in a southern and northern tone, and they were all scolded one by one, which was very 'wonderful'. Of course, these were all carefully polished by Han Xin's military staff in advance. Otherwise, with the fact that the Qin army did not know a few words, it would be a bit difficult for them to scold such a level and wonderful theory!

Sure enough, it was only for a moment. Xiang Yudi's face changed from bronze to iron blue, from iron blue to purple red, and his body trembled slightly. The breathing became more and more rapid, and the eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, obviously angry! Fan Zeng didn't see it well, and hurriedly comforted: "The young general is angry. This is the Qin army's tactic, don't be fooled!"

"Touching β€”β€”!" Xiang Yu, who had a hideous face, smashed his fist on the battlements with a heavy fist, and smashed the wooden battlements into pieces and debris flying everywhere!

Seeing this, Fan Zeng couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead. Knowing that if Xiang Yu stayed in the city, he would not be able to bear it sooner or later, so he persuaded: "Young General, this Qin army under the city is not capable of attacking the city at all, it is useless here, it is better to go back to the house to rest!"

"Don't go!" Xiang Yu snorted coldly. Fan Zeng saw Xiang Yu's face purple, and knew that Xiang Yu was on the verge of going berserk, so he didn't dare to persuade him again, so he had to stay aside and look at Xiang Yu worriedly.

As the sun rose, the fog began to dissipate, and the distant scenery began to become clearer as far as the eye could see.

Cao under the city saw that the Chu army had not yet fought, and he had some admiration in his heart: "This feather can really endure it, okay, then I will add you another fire!" shouted: "Come on, continue to scold me, and then 'greet' Xiang Yu's wife and children!"

The Qin army's scolding immediately changed again, and they scolded: "Chu people, Chu people, Mu monkey and crown, have a face and no courage, ridiculous, ridiculous!" Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, cowardly as a mouse, will die sooner or later, and the mother-in-law will be in pain!" Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu, rat gall brave, born like this, timid and seedless!"

Soon, Xiang Yudi's face changed from purple to black charcoal, and his demonic eyes were as red as two flames, and the murderous aura was as fierce as a volcanic eruption, and he suddenly shouted: "Come on, order troops, go to war!"

Seeing this, Song Yi shouted: "Xiang Yu, what are you doing, didn't you hear my military order clearly just now!?" Xiang Yu turned his head to look at Song Yi and said coldly: "Song-Da-General-Army, the fog is almost clearing, and the outside of the city is clear, what is the ambush to speak of!" Qin Jun didn't scold you, you naturally said cool things, I will definitely fight today!"

Song Yi frowned and said patiently: "General Xiang, it is precisely because of this that it is more suspicious. Han Xin is not stupid, there is no reason to send a weak brigade to send him to death, there must be a future that we can't think of!" Xiang Yu didn't seem to be able to listen to Song Yi's words anymore, and shouted: "Nonsense! Today, my will to fight has been decided, whoever dares to stop it, there will be no mercy!" As he spoke, holding the black halberd in his hand and looking at everyone, the tall and majestic body suddenly burst out with a powerful murderous aura and boundless pressure, which made everyone around him almost breathless!

Song Yi was almost dizzy this time, the anger in his heart could no longer be held back, and he said angrily: "Xiang Yu'er, I, Song, give you face, you actually think that I am cowardly and deceitful, and you dare to say such rebellious words as 'who dares to stop and kill without mercy' in front of me!" Left and right, take it with me!" Song Yi was also forced to be helpless, in the face of the unruly Xiang Yu repeatedly challenged his majesty, if he didn't punish him, I'm afraid Song Yi would not have the face to lead the three armies in the future!

"Hula!" With Song Yi's order, the Chinese army's pro-soldiers rushed upward, and the sword halberds were about to knock Xiang Yu over.

Fan Zeng panicked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Alas, general, General Xiang, stop being angry, stop being angry, you can't kill each other!"

Xiang Yu frowned, suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Fan Zeng's shoulder and just pulled it out, the poor old man Fan Zeng was nearly seven years old. Usually walking a little trembling slightly, how to resist the power of this giant spirit palm, so he "kicked" a few steps back, and fell to the ground. The old arms and legs were on the ground, and for a while he only fell dizzy, his limbs were sore, and he couldn't struggle for a while.

"Who dares to touch me!" Xiang Yu shouted, his voice was like thunder, with a golden crown and black armor, majestic and majestic, like a god. The Chinese soldiers were a little timid for a while. They all cowered, not daring to step forward.

Song Yi said angrily: "Hurry up and take down this little thief, otherwise he will be killed!" The Chinese soldiers had no choice but to shake their spirits and muster up their courage to kill the general. Suddenly, Xiang Yu drank heavily: "Death to those who stand in my way!" In the sound of landslides and cracks, the wind and thunder moved, and a terrifying huge black light rose into the sky. Suddenly. Blood rained down, and stumps fell in all directions, within two feet. Six or seven Chinese soldiers were cut into two pieces by Xiang Yu with only one halberd. All of them are rotten in their stomachs, and their deaths are miserable.

"Sizzleβ€”β€”!" Everyone around them gasped: What a strong combat power!

"Pounce, pounce, pounce......" Xiang Yu had a dark face, walked step by step in the blood under his feet, and forced Song Yi murderously.

Firm footsteps with a heavy murderous aura. It seemed to hit the hearts of everyone around him like a thousand pounds of hammers, and also hit Song Yi's hearts. For a while, everyone around was stupid, stunned, and dumbfounded, and no one dared to step forward to stop Xiang Yu. Not even the will to stop it dared to come out!

Looking at Xiang Yu, who was approaching like a demon god, Song Yi panicked, and pointed at Xiang Yu with his teeth chattering: "You, what do you want to do, you can't rebel!?"

Xiang Yu stared at Song Yi coldly, his eyes were full of the word 'kill', and suddenly said coldly: "I've put up with you for a long time, you deserve to die!" Suddenly, a black light rose into the sky, rushing towards Song Yi with a cold murderous aura and cold wind.

Song Yi was shocked, as soon as the sword was halfway drawn, he felt a pain in his throat, and suddenly all his senses disappeared. For a moment, everyone around only saw a pale head rising into the sky, and the blood from the empty neck burst out and splashed on the ancient city wall.

"Xiang Yu killed the general! Xiang Yu killed the general! Oh my God!" Everyone around watched Song Yidi's white head rolling on the head of the city, and they were all dumbfounded!

"Oh my God!!" Fan Zeng, who had old arms and legs, just got up from the ground, and when he saw all this in front of him, he was suddenly frightened and his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground, his eyes were straight, his face was wooden, and there was a rumbling flash of lightning and thunder in his head, which was completely blank!

Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, the murderous aura in his eyes seemed to be even stronger, and every time he swept the face of a nearby Chu army soldier, everyone felt as if they were being targeted by the devil, and they were all frightened and their legs trembled!

Suddenly, Xiang Yu said coldly: "Song Yi is cowardly and cowardly, he has violated the will of the king, and he has been killed by me!" From now on, I will be the master of the army, and who will not accept it!"

There was silence!

Everyone was already stunned, frightened, all like stakes, how could anyone answer!

Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows, and "umβ€”β€”! in his nose" With a thud, the black halberd slashed through the air and slammed into the wall. "Touching β€”β€”!" With a loud bang, the tip of the halberd's tail sank more than a foot deep into the city, smashing the floor and splashing rubble.

The huge power of the black halberd suddenly summoned the souls of the people around him, and he quickly knelt down when he saw the opportunity: "I am willing to serve General Xiang!" With the first, there is immediately a second, and then there is a third...... After a while, almost all the generals and sergeants of the Chu army around knelt down and bowed under the power of Xiang Yudi! Of course, there are also extraneous ones: under Xiang Yu's murderous gaze, a young general straightened his waist and glared angrily at Xiang Yu, which looked very abrupt in the scene of everyone bowing down!

For a while, the soldiers were shocked and hurriedly flashed to the side, lest they suffer from the pond fish!

Xiang Yu was surprised and angry: Song Yi is dead, and there are still people who dare to go against me! couldn't help but say coldly: "Song Liu, are you not convinced?" As he spoke, he clenched the black halberd in his hand.

Xiang Yu's deep voice seemed to have a terrifying magic that made people subdued and frightened, which made the young Song Liu, although he was very frightened in his heart, but he still held on: "Xiang Yu, I am also a disciple of the Song family, you killed General Song, the crime is unforgivable, it is equivalent to rebellion, I, Song Liu, will never bow to a thief!" As he spoke, he contemptuously glanced at the generals of the Chu army who had succumbed to Xiang Yu's 'obscenity', many of whom were still old generals of the Song and Huan sects. Under Song Liu's burning gaze, these people couldn't help but lower their heads!

"Hahaha," Xiang Yu suddenly laughed: "Okay, it's a man!" Draw your sword. I'll let you die a glorious death!"

Song Liu swallowed his saliva, and with some trembling, he pulled out the long sword under his waist and slowly raised it in front of his chest. Actually, Song Liu didn't know it: with his strength, confronting Xiang Yu was like an egg hitting a stone and killing himself, but his loyal character made him have no hesitation and no fear of death.

At that time, Song Liu, who was facing death, suddenly calmed down, his eyes were clear and empty, maybe he had seen life and death, so he was not afraid!

Xiang Yu couldn't help but be a little persuaded: "The Song family is a wealthy family in the Chu State in the end. There are really some talents under his command, but the king of Chu can only be my family!" Thinking of this, Xiang Yu suddenly shouted: "Chu-Xiang!" The whistle sounded, the wind thundered, and the huge black halberd roared with the fierce wind, and the majestic body gave people an irresistible and terrible feeling in a moment!

Song Liu shouted: "Far - Song!" As soon as the long sword met it, a blazing white light flashed and slammed into it.

"When β€”β€”!" A loud bang rang out, and a long sword was shattered and scattered in all directions by the black halberd's might. In an instant, when the strong wind stopped. The outcome has been decided: Song Liu is still standing so unyielding and proud, but the bun on his head has been completely scattered, looking a little unkempt. Less than an inch outside his left neck, the large, chilly black halberd was silently paosing. The giant python that is like a letter to be attacked is terrifying!

"Song Liu, if you surrender, I can spare you from dying! In this world, no one can live against my will!" Xiang Yu, who was full of domineering spirit, showed a hint of appreciation in his tone. "Do-no-to!" Song Liu, who had already seen life and death, was stunned.

Xiang Yu's eyes widened. At the place where the black python spit out the letter, a bloody arrow splattered out from Song Liu's neck...... Boom!" Xiang Yu retracted the halberd pillar ground, and the city wall seemed to tremble three times!

"You, kill, me, Song, Men. Yes, there will be no end, good end, result!" The dying Song Liu struggled to say the last word, which was also a vicious curse!

"Plop!" Song Liuying's body fell to the ground, and blood flowed from his neck. As soon as Song Liu died, everyone around him couldn't help but tremble in their hearts again: "Song Liu is a famous and fierce general in the Song Gate, he can't even take a move from Xiang Yu, this Yu is too terrifying!"

"Ahh Fan Zeng, who had been stunned, saw Song Liu die under Xiang Yu's halberd again, and suddenly got up, looking at the corpses of an old man and a young man in the field, he couldn't help but cry and laugh, I don't know how weird that expression was!

"Young General"! Fan Zeng suddenly said to Xiang Yu with a sad face: "You killed General Song, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Consequences!?" Xiang Yu said calmly: "I've thought about it!" In Pengcheng, this old guy Song Yi has Huan Chu's help, and his strength is very advantageous, and my Xiangmen is not his opponent! But out of Pengcheng, he is alone, and he is not my opponent! Now, I have 100,000 troops in hand, Pengcheng has only 50,000 troops left, and there are still 20,000 henchmen of my Xiang clan, so why should I be afraid!?"

Fan Zeng was stunned when he heard this: "It seems that this young general is not just a brave and unscrupulous person!" He thought so clearly, and said so calmly, could it be that he had premeditated the killing of Song Yi!?" Fan Zeng shuddered in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Although this is good, but Uncle Xiang and the wife of the young general are in Pengcheng, in case Song Yi's death reaches Pengcheng, how can Huan Chu give up!" Also, if Huan Chu coerces the king to edict us to be rebellious, then we will have no reinforcements, grain and grass after waiting, and there will be an army of Qin in front of us, what a worrying situation!"

Xiang Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Huan Chu, I'm afraid he's dead now!" How can a dead man be a threat to me!?" Fan Zeng was stunned and said, "What does the young general mean by this, the old man doesn't quite understand?"

Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng, and then looked at the generals around him with a frightened look, and said proudly: "Don't think that Xiang Yu is just a brave and unscrupulous person!" In fact, long before I left Beijing, I had already arranged everything and was ready to eradicate the two traitors, Song Yi and Huan Chu. At the same time that Song Lao Pifu and I led the troops out of Pengcheng, Zhong Liwu had already handed over the defense of Jiujiang to the deputy general Ge Ying, and sneaked to Surabaya County, which was controlled by my Xiang clan, to secretly gather troops and wait for the opportunity. You say, with Zhong Li's ability to use troops and Da Bodi's resourcefulness, what good end can a brave man in Huan Chu do! If nothing is expected now, the forces of the Song and Huan sects in Pengcheng have been cleared, and Pengcheng is still the Pengcheng of my Xiang clan!"

There was a dead silence at the scene, and they were all stunned by Xiang Yu's remarks. The soldiers of the old party of Song and Huan around him no longer had any hope at all, and immediately began to really consider the issue of re-siding in the team, but now it seems that in addition to taking refuge in Xiang Yu. There is no way back!

Fan Zeng barely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a wry smile: "Then the young general also deliberately took the opportunity to kill Song Yi just now?" Xiang Yu smiled: "The world is impermanent, it is both true and false, virtual and real, sometimes why be too persistent!" But he secretly said in his heart: "Originally, I wanted to wait for the definite news of Pengcheng's matter to come before cleaning up Song Yi's old thief land, and I didn't want to do it today, so just now you Old Man Fan persuaded me to get off the donkey down the slope and stop fighting." However, Cao Shen's guy is really hateful, so insulting to me, so that Lao Tzu really can't hold back the ** of the battle, it just so happens that this old thief of Song Yi is timid and refuses to let Lao Tzu fight. provoked Lao Tzu to be angry, if he didn't do it as soon as possible, when would he wait!"

Fan Zeng also smiled at this time: "The young general is a good method, Fan Zeng has only now understood that the Xiang family is really a hero!" Xiang Yu said indifferently: "The matter is confidential, I didn't discuss it with the military advisor in advance, please forgive me!" Fan Zeng seemed to be a little old suddenly, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the old man is really old, and it's really not good for people to be old!"

"In the past, Jiang Shang was the king of Wen in his eighties, and the military division was less than seventy, how can he be considered old! My uncle used to be a close friend of the military division. Xiang Yu should also treat the military master as a father, please be sure to give advice from time to time in the future!" Xiang Yu seemed to have become a humble gentleman for a while, trying his best to appease Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng looked at Xiang Yu. suddenly discovered: this big boy who was originally under Xiang Liang's wings has finally grown into a man who stands up to the sky! Thinking of Xiang Liang's past kindness, and thinking about Xiang Yu's ruthlessness and decisiveness now. Fan Zeng bowed happily and convincingly: "Fan is honored, and he will serve the young general in the future!" No, it's supposed to be a general now!"

"Hahaha!" Xiang Yu laughed, picked up the halberd in his hand and said loudly: "Someone." Count 10,000 soldiers, watch me fight and break the enemy!" Whoa!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

Success, prince, loser, Kou, now, no one dares to stop Xiang Yu's will!

"Squeak quack-" Cao Shen and the others scolded under Huai'an City. Suddenly, the originally closed city gate opened, and a black earth giant shadow in a blood-colored robe jumped out of the city cave, carrying the wind to lead the thunder, and led a team of Chu army to kill the generals.

Cao Shen was overjoyed: "As the general expected, since Xiang Yu went out to fight with blood, Song Yi will definitely die." The general's plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf really worked!" At that moment, Cao Shen, who knew that he was false and real, did not dare to resist, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiang Yu is here, this guy is powerful, retreat quickly!" At the moment, I take the lead and slip away! As soon as the Qin army saw that Cao Shen had run away, they hurriedly fled with a nest of peaks!

Xiang Yu took the joy of victory out of the city, and was about to annihilate the Qin army, when he suddenly saw that the Qin army didn't say a word, turned around and ran, he couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly strangled the war horse, and didn't dare to act rashly for a while!

"The Qin army just doesn't hand over the troops, turns around and runs, could it be that there are really ambushes behind them?" Xiang Yu is also very talented in tactics, and he can't help but hesitate. Thinking of Han Xin's treachery and resourcefulness, Xiang Yu felt that it was not appropriate to take risks, so he had to endure the anger in his heart and shouted: "Go back to the city!" Suddenly, he said: "Xiang Zhuang, you lead ten horsemen, and after following the Qin army, find out the situation and report to me!" Whoa!" Xiang Zhuang, who was excited, answered and took ten horses away.

Soon, Xiang Zhuang reported: "The Qin army has been fleeing back to the camp, and there is no ambush outside the city!" Xiang Yu's face twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but regret that he was suspicious, so much so that he let Cao Shen go! Suddenly, Xiang Yu couldn't help but wonder: "That's not right!" Han Xin sent Cao Shen to lead a weak army to challenge the city, which was unreasonable; As soon as they saw me out, they turned around and ran, and there were no ambushes behind them, which is even more of a ghost! In this way, Han Xin should not really want to fight with me when he sent Cao Shen to fight this time, is it ......" Xiang Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder suddenly, and thought of a terrible thought: "Could it be that my action to kill Song Yi today is falling into Han Xin's calculations, and Cao Shen's 'strange soldier' is Han Xin's chess piece!?" For a while, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, and Xiang Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind him: "If that's the case, this Han Xin is too terrifying, wouldn't my every move fall into his calculations!"

After a moment of silence, Xiang Yu suddenly ordered: "Pass the order: rectify the three armies, step up defense, and no battle will be fought without my general's order!" Wait for Pengcheng to make a decision after the matter is decided!" Whoa!" Xiang Zhuang nodded and went down to give the order.

Cao Shen fled back safely, and happily told Han Xin: "General, as you expected, Xiang Yu went out into battle with blood. Song Yi's old man must have been killed by Xiang Yu!" Han Xin and the generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but smile happily!

Wu Rui said with a smile: "The great general's divine calculation, how can Xiang Yu's reckless man recognize the great general's plan of 'borrowing a knife to kill people'!" The generals laughed.

Han Xin also smiled and said: "Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, I want to see how he settles the civil strife!" Pass my general order: From today onwards, you will be on strict alert, and you will not go to war without my general order!" Whoa!" The generals responded.

Suddenly, Han Xin said again: "Also, today's plan to kill Song Yi is worth celebrating, and the order will be passed on." Reward the three armies, but do not drink alcohol, lest the enemy attack!" Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they went away rejoicing.

At noon the day after tomorrow, Han Xin and others were in the tent to listen to the meteor scout horse wheel report on the movements of the Huai'an Chu army, and suddenly reported that there was a secret envoy of 'Qin Feng' who urgently asked to see him. Han Xin nodded and hurriedly ordered to enter the account.

The secret envoy saw Han Xin, bowed down and said hurriedly: "General, Pengcheng has changed: three days ago, Jiujiang Zhong Liwu suddenly led troops out of Surabaya County to attack Pengcheng. With the cooperation of Xiang Bo, he succeeded in one fell swoop. At present, Pengcheng has fallen into the hands of the Xiang family, Huan Chu was killed in battle, and the henchmen of Song and Huan were slaughtered. The king of Chu was also controlled by the Xiang clan, and had just issued an edict to denounce Song Yi and Huan Chu as rebels. Add Xiang Yu as the general of the Shangzhu National University! Seeing that the situation was urgent, the villain didn't dare to slack off, so he traveled day and night to report to the general. Please, General, decide!"

There was a sudden silence in the tent, Han Xin had a gloomy face, nodded and said, "Come on, bring the messenger down to rest!" Whoa!" And some of his own soldiers brought the envoy down to the tent.

Han Xin looked at the generals in the account. Everyone looked surprised, and suddenly said, "What do the generals think about this?"

The generals looked at each other, and Cao Shen said: "General, Xiang's hand is really beautiful, Peng Cheng is under his control, so it can be inferred that I am afraid that Xiang Yu's killing of Song Yi will be a big general, and Xiang Yu will also do it!" Makes sense, makes sense!" The generals nodded their heads.

Wu Rui nodded and said: "Powerful, powerful, this plan is in charge of both sides, and the timing is just right, I don't know who planned it, and let the Xiang family seize power again in one fell swoop!"

Han Xin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "In my estimation, it can't be Uncle Xiang: Uncle Xiang is cautious and careful, never takes risks, and calmly abstains from killing, so this plan is not his style." It is unlikely that Fan Zeng is good at strategy and short on tactics, and it is a little difficult to plan such a subtle plan, and Fan Zeng is more concerned about the overall situation, so he should not do such a risky thing when the two armies are fighting. And the others haven't heard of any other famous strategists under Xiang Yu's command, could it be ......" Han Xin's face couldn't help but change.

Cao Shen was surprised: "Does the general think that Xiang Yu planned this beautiful coup d'Γ©tat to seize power!?" The generals were also stunned: because in their minds, Xiang Yu was just a martial artist, and he really didn't look like a wise general who was able to strategize thousands of miles away!

Suddenly, Han Xin said: "Come on, take Your Majesty and my land tips!" Whoa!" Han Xin's personal soldier Han Zhong answered and ran to the inner tent. The generals were surprised: "Your Majesty's land tips!?" What's going on?"

Soon, Han Zhong came back and took out a very beautiful bag and handed it to Han Xin. Han Xin opened it, took out a pair of white silks, looked at it quietly, and suddenly laughed and said: "Miaozai, Miaozai, Your Majesty is a true god!" Seeing the stunned looks on the faces of the generals, Han Xin said to Han Zhong: "Take it down and show it to the generals!" Whoa!" Han Zhong answered, took the bag, and handed it to the nearest Cao Shen.

The generals suddenly came up to take a look, and there were only a few words on the bag: Xiang Yu is short of strategy and longer than tactics, and he will not be willing to lose power. In addition, Xiang Yu's courage is invincible, when the strategy of exhausting the enemy is the top, lead it away from the old nest Huaishang area, wait for the joint attack to destroy Liu Bang, and go south to attack it, so as to be safe! Remember!

The generals were even more stunned when they saw it, and they were speechless for a while.

Han Xin suddenly smiled and said: "This is the bag sent by His Majesty the day before yesterday, claiming that it can be opened when there is a change, which can solve the doubts for a while." Taking a look at it today, Your Majesty is really a god, thousands of miles away, and he has a deep understanding of the development of the war in this period! This time, the generals should believe that this plan is from Xiang Yu's hand, it's amazing, it's amazing, I'm really underestimating this Yu! Your Majesty is much stronger than me at this point, and Your Majesty even pointed out the plan for the future, and Han Xin thought about it in general, so he really deserves to be a generation of heroes!"

The generals admired. Qi shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

Cao Shen sighed: "I didn't expect Xiang Yu to have this unbearable, it's really unexpected, you can't ignore it!" General, Xiang Yu's brave Cao General has seen: a single horse and a halberd across the battlefield, it is really invincible, when the person is Liwan, it is indeed the fierce general who is brave in the world, and with the help of Chu Xiang's elite soldiers, it is even more difficult to fight, so His Majesty's desire to contain the enemy is actually the only good strategy! It's just that I don't know how the general wants to exhaust the enemy? You must know that now Xiang Yu has stabilized the situation in Pengcheng and the front of the army, and there is no decision. I'm afraid Xiang Yu is about to kill the general!"

Han Xin said with a smile: "Although Your Majesty has not said it explicitly, a certain person has already made a plan!" From tomorrow, our army began to retreat step by step, ceding all the counties south of Huai'an and even Guangling to Xiang Yu, and then marching west to Huainan, meeting with the sailors of General Wuzhu and slowly maneuvering with Xiang Yu. In this way, there are two advantages: first, in order to defend the vast land recovered, Xiang Yu must leave troops to garrison, but there are not many troops in other places, and if he divides his troops. It is possible to give our army an opportunity; 2. Our Qin army is brave and stoic, accustomed to long-distance battles, and does not suffer even though it overcomes thorns and thorns; And although the Chu people are brave, they are not inferior to our army. But the nature is unrestrained and lazy, if it is long-term. The Chu people will inevitably be unbearable and war-weary, so their combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced! 3. The area around Huiji and Huaishang is the nest of the Xiang family, with a deep foundation of the people and very popular support. Lure it away from Huaishang to the unfounded land in Huainan, so that it can be completely annihilated. With these three benefits, maybe we don't need to wait for His Majesty's army to come to help, and we can offer Xiang Yu's head later!"

The generals were a little hesitant when they heard this. Wu Rui said: "General, it's okay to retreat slightly, but it's just that the land of Huaishang and the large number of cities trapped by the generals of Huainan Wuzhu, the loss is so great, if Your Majesty blames it, wouldn't it be self-defeating!?" Moreover, our army has won many victories at present, but it has retreated from the Chu army, which is probably not good for morale!"

Han Xin thought for a while and said: "A real wise general, don't take the gains and losses of one city or one place as victory or defeat, as long as you can kill Xiang Yu, Hugh said that Huaishang and Huainan, even the entire territory of Chu can be determined, with Your Majesty's wisdom, you should be able to see the stakes here!" In addition, I will also write to Your Majesty immediately to inform you of the details, it should be fine! As for morale, as long as the generals do a good job of persuasion, there should be no major problems, and a real iron army should not be arrogant or discouraged in victory; And after several battles before, the soldiers should still have confidence in Han, but they have to bother the generals to appease them carefully!" Whoa!" When the generals heard this, they thought about it, and they took orders in unison.

The next day, Han Xintong led 100,000 Qin troops to retreat to the south in great strides, and retreated very cleanly, not a single soldier was left, and all cities and places were abandoned.

Xiang Yu hesitated after hearing the report, feeling that he would be laughed at by the world if he returned from his first expedition without success, and he was even more shameless to see Jiangdong's father and elder if he was afraid to chase and let go of the enemy who killed his father, so after discussing with Fan Zeng, he cautiously chased after him!

For a time, the Qin army that had repeated the old tricks passed through like locusts passing through the mirror, and all the grain in the official treasury and rice shop was swept away, and the Chu people who had no food to eat had to ask for help from the Chu army that came after them. Although poor Xiang Yu is fierce and murderous, he is always a Chu person, and he can't ignore the life and death of his hometown fathers and elders, so he has to swallow his anger and pull out a lot of grain and grass to relieve the counties, and the speed of the pursuit is like a snail by Han Xin.

Within a few days, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng reacted, knowing that Han Xin was going to use another plan to clear the wilderness and lure the enemy into the depths this time, while scolding Han Xin for being brazen, they were also a little afraid, so they stopped and refused to continue the pursuit!

Han Xin, who heard the report, had his own way, and suddenly abandoned Guangling, gathered all the Qin troops in Huaishang together and crossed Huaishui to the west and marched to Huainan, and then pointed to Jiujiang, the only isolated city in Huainan defended by the Chu army, and had the potential to flatten Huainan in one fell swoop.

Although Xiang Yu had already been angry with Han Xindi's despicable tactics, he had the intention not to chase, but he was also worried that Han Xin would join forces with all the water divisions to attack the relatively empty Jiujiang Lonely City, and enter the more empty Surabaya County and even the national capital Pengcheng, so he had to endure the anger of the heavens and the earth and leave Huaishang, and chase after him.

It's a pity that Han Xin was cunning, and when he saw Xiang Yu chasing after him, he no longer attacked Jiujiang City, but took advantage of the advantages of the Qin army being far more difficult than the Chu army, having more cavalry, outstanding transportation capacity, and being better at civil engineering. It is a pity that the Chu army is not strong enough to take the method of dividing troops to hold on and compressing the scope of activities of the Qin army, so it can only be led around by the nose of the Qin army, and within a few days, it will be fattened and thin, and it will be dragged to the point of illness. What made Xiang Yu even more furious was that Wu Zhu's sailors had strong mobility through the dense water network in Huainan, and often attacked the small units and grain transportation units of the Chu army out of nowhere, only disturbing the Chu army day and night, and it was impossible to successfully find the main force of the Qin army for a decisive battle!

Soon, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng came back to their senses, knowing that if they were led by Han Xin by the nose and completely lost their initiative like this, they would sooner or later be broken by the cunning Han Xin's opportunity, so they no longer paid attention to Han Xin's provocations, and only cared about leading the Chu army north to Jiujiang and holding the gateway of the Qin army to the north, and then no longer fight!

After the Chu army retreated to Jiujiang, although Han Xin couldn't help Xiang Yu for a while, it was the troubles of more than half a month that gave Fusu a precious opportunity to completely solve Liu Bang and go south to attack Xiang Yu!
