A minister asked, "Who is robbing, is it Xiang Yu?" He wiped out Zheng Guo with tens of thousands of people, and Zheng Guo had 250,000 troops at that time. And now Xiang Yu's army is estimated to be 200,000, how to fight. ”

The general said: "We have nearly 400,000, and the state of Wu was also destroyed by us." ”

King Wu said: "If we fight Xiang Yu, other countries will probably not interfere, and we wish we would fight, but we are not sure of victory." If we fight Lu or Song, someone will intervene, and we now have no suitable reason for going to war. ”

The general said, "My lord, what should we do, we can't sit and wait for death." ”

King Wu said: "Think of a foolproof plan first, if you have to fight, the widow will not be afraid of anyone." ”

On Xiang Yu's side, Hua Long said to Xiang Yu: "Big brother, we originally wanted to deal with the Song Kingdom, but we didn't expect the Yue Kingdom to be in a hurry first, it seems that the trick of economic war is quite useful." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Now we are waiting for King Yue to make a move, I don't know who he wants to fight." ”

Hua Long said: "It's hard to say, we are not sure of beating us, and we are afraid of others helping us." ”

A month later, Qi and Vietnam suddenly sent troops to attack Lu, and each country sent 200,000 troops, forming a flanking attack on Lu. It turned out that the king of Yue found the king of Qi to cooperate and wanted to carve up the country of Lu, so that the country of Yue could solve the food crisis and the country of Qi could also expand its territory.

Lu Guo panicked, and hurriedly sent people to Song and Wei to ask for an alliance, and at the same time sent people to Chu and Jin to ask for help.

The Song State sent 80,000 troops to resist the Vietnamese army, and the Wei State sent 100,000 troops to resist the Qi army.

Now there are more than 200,000 people on each side of the battlefield on both sides of the Lu country. Qi saw that Wei Guo sent 100,000 troops to help Lu Guo, so that the other party's total strength was tens of thousands more than their own, so they would not attack, and they were ready to drag it down. However, Lu and Yue were in a hurry, and neither of them could afford to delay, so Yue sent people to urge the king of Qi to attack together. Lu continued to send people to ask for help from Chu and Jin.

Chu and Jin were too far away from the battlefield, so they sent envoys to Xiang Yu to ask Xiang Yu to help attack Yue and solve the difficulties of Lu, they didn't want to see Qi and Yue become stronger.

Xiang Yu replied: The Jin State will fight the Qi State first, and he will fight the Yue State, and the Chu State will send him 20,000 war horses.

Hua Long and Xiang Yu had already discussed, anyway, these countries would be destroyed one by one, one less one, let them fight each other. Besides, it is also necessary to prevent Chu and Jin from making ghosts behind them, so they can't send troops first.

Now, Chu and Jin are also in a difficult situation, they have half of their troops expanding outward, and if the Jin State sends troops to fight Qi again, their homes will be empty; Chu Guo thought of giving out 20,000 horses, and it was also painful.

The entire battlefield is now stalemate, and the Yue country cannot retreat, and if it retreats, it will be wasted; Qi Guo is ready to drag it wholeheartedly, and he is willing to drag anyone to death.

Now it is truly reflected that the war is fought by economic strength. At the same time, it also shows that the contract is just a piece of waste paper, and the nine-nation talks have only been going on for a few months, and the fight has started.

On Xiang Yu's side, everyone discussed the situation together, and Shen You said: "General Hua, I thought that your move would have no effect, and it was a waste of so much money, so I knew that it would exert its power so quickly, and it would mess up the whole situation again." ”

Ji Yan said: "My eldest brother thinks about things from a different angle than others, and it is a very simple thing on the surface, but it is used by him very magically. ”

Ji Ling said: "Little rascal, what is your trick called? ”

Hua Long said: "It's called economic war. ”

Ji Ling asked, "You have so many strange words there." ”

Hua Long said, "I'll take it casually." ”

Xiang Yu asked, "Second brother, how do you think this time will end?" ”

Hua Long said: "This cannot be estimated, except for the Qin State, which is too far away and will not interfere, it is estimated that other countries will be involved." ”

Xiang Yu asked, "Then how should we prepare?" ”

Hua Long said: "We are just waiting now to see how the situation develops in the later stage, and we are involved too early, but we are passive." ”

Ji Ling suddenly said: "Dead rascal, don't you get tired of thinking about these crooked ideas in your head every day?" ”

Everyone laughed again.

Hua Long said: "I'm used to it, just like if you don't make me uncomfortable, I don't want to have some crooked ideas, so I can't sleep." ”

Everyone laughed even more vigorously.

Ji Yan smiled and said, "Big brother, looking at your poor appearance, you don't look like a person who can command thousands of troops and horses at all. ”

Hua Long said: "This is called: talking and laughing in ashes." ”

Ji Yan and Shen You said in amazement at the same time: "This sentence is really courageous. ”

Xiang Yu and Chen Sheng knew that Hua Long was borrowing words from his era again.

Ji Ling said: "You dead rascal, you say that you are too godly. ”

Xiang Yu said: "It's scattered, every time you talk about things seriously, you make a joke." ”

Everyone left laughing.

Now the key to the situation is in the Yue country, the king of Yue is in a dilemma, attacking, the other side Lu and Song troops combined 230,000, 30,000 more than their own side. Besides, the other party is still on the defensive, and if the attack continues, the gains of the country will outweigh the losses.

King Yue thought: Qi Guo is starting to play tricks now, drag it down, and his side will be chaotic first. Go back, you can't get the food, go and grab it in Xiang Yu's hands, is it bigger. Now that Qin and Jin are inseparable, Xiang Yu is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and if he loses, Xiang Yu will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob.

Xiang Yu suddenly received a request from King Yue's envoy to see him, Xiang Yu asked, "King Yue sent you over this time, what happened?" ”

The Yue envoy said: "The overlord and the king of Yue are willing to exchange one-third of the territory and the overlord in the north of the former Wu State for 400,000 stone of grain. ”

Xiang Yu was a little moved, and replied to Yue Envoy: "You go to rest first, and I will think about it and then reply to King Yue." ”

After the envoy went down, Xiang Yu summoned everyone to discuss, and everyone was very happy, saying: "General Xiang, this is a good deal, don't waste a shot and a knife, take so much land for nothing." ”

Xiang Yu asked Hua Long: "Does the second brother think it should be changed?" ”

Hua Long said: "I want to hear Ji Yan's opinion. ”

Ji Yan replied: "I don't think it should be changed, on the surface, we are effortless to take this big land." But the country of Vietnam is unscathed, with nearly 400,000 troops, is it still a big threat to us? ”

Everyone nodded their heads. Hua Long said: "My sister is right, after the change, our land area is like a herringbone, the Yue country is under the herringbone, the king of Yue is a person who has revenge, and the 400,000 troops will shoot us in the ass at any time." ”

Xiang Yu then summoned the Yue envoy and said: "You go and reply to the king of Yue, I, Xiang Yu, am not a person who takes advantage of people's dangers, I don't do this kind of thing." ”

After King Yue heard Xiang Yu's reply, he scolded: Xiang Yu, this villain, must force me to jump into the fire pit. At the same time, he reflected: After I also destroyed the Wu State, I grabbed a large piece of chassis, I was carried away by the victory, and I underestimated the countries of the Central Plains, and now I am in a dilemma. These people are too good at playing with their hearts and minds, and they don't keep their promises.

King Yue knew that there was only one way now, and that was to settle the battle quickly, and he had to win.
