Chapter 10: Robbery 2

"Okay." Xiang Yu thought about it, but agreed, he had fought for so many years, and he had done it directly, and he had never played tricks, so he looked down on this kind of play in his heart.

Hua Long said: "Big brother, I'll go with you tomorrow, I'm afraid you can't help it, what kind of demeanor do you talk about in a war, it's not a shame." ”

The next morning, Hua Long and Xiang Yu went to the barracks together, asked Liu Hu to select 50 people, sneaked into the city of Su Guo, and made some arrangements.

In the afternoon, Xiang Yu ordered the army to eat in advance, gather at five o'clock, Xiang Yu said to everyone: "The king of Zhou has an order, now all of them set off, go to the Su country, and recapture the city." ”

One of Xiang Yu's lieutenants had questions: "General Xiang, is there a decree from King Zhou?" ”

"King Zhou's direct edict." Xiang Yu said.

"I don't agree without an edict, I want to ask Queen Zhou to send troops again." said the adjutant general.

"I said, King Zhou's dictation, you want to disobey." Xiang Yu yelled.

"No, you have to ask King Zhou first." This deputy general is the confidant of King Zhou, who was sent to monitor Xiang Yu, and resolutely disagreed.

Xiang Yu directly drew his sword, cut down the deputy general, and said to everyone: "This person disobeys orders, and the military law will deal with them, and if there are any more disobedient people, they will all be cut down." With a wave of his sword, "Let's go." ”

The deputy general never dreamed that Xiang Yu would dare to kill him, and the other prison soldiers sent by King Zhou did not dare to speak.

The army set off immediately, the whole journey was less than 80 miles, the march took 4 hours, and the city gate was opened at 10 o'clock, and it was still almost time, so it could only wait outside the city in ambush.

Just after 10 o'clock, the city gate opened, Xiang Yu led people to rush in, Liu Hu saw Xiang Yu, and reported: "General Xiang, there are 2,000 people in the city and 3,000 people outside the city." ”

Hua Long said to Xiang Yu: "Big brother, Liu Hu is still guarding the city gate to prevent the army outside from coming to the rescue; You take 1,000 people to control the city, fight quickly, and come to guard the city gate immediately after control, Chen Sheng and I take 1,000 men and horses, ambush on both sides of the rescue road, let reinforcements in, and then block the retreat road, and strive to capture them all. ”

Xiang Yu said: Okay. Then he took people into the city, and the battle was solved in an hour, and the rescue force waited for almost two hours to arrive, or Hualong deliberately sent someone to report the news, because these people in the Su State did not believe that anyone would sneak attack them at all, they were the vassal countries of the Qi State, and after the Qi State assisted by Guan Zhong, the national strength was strong, and they were the overlords at that time, only they bullied people, no one bullied them, and they would not have thought that the Zhou Dynasty would come to fight them, and the Zhou Dynasty was slaughtered by others. As soon as the rescue army arrived outside the city gate, they saw that the city was occupied, and the retreat route was blocked behind it, and they surrendered directly.

In this battle, Xiang Yu killed less than 50 people, killed 500 opponents, and captured 4,500 opponents. Xiang Yu Hualong escorted the captives and Su Wang's family back first, and asked Liu Hu to leave 500 people to clean up the battlefield, transport money, food, and weapons back, and ordered not to disturb the people.

On the third day, Hualong arranged for people to give King Su's family to King Zhou, and rewarded those who participated in the battle according to their merits.

King Zhou was shocked when he saw the person who was sent, and he was very frightened, and immediately sent someone to find Xiang Yu Hualong.

Xiang Yu didn't go over, Hua Long went, afraid that the two of them would go over together and be controlled by King Zhou.

When King Zhou saw Hua Long, he asked: "You didn't have an outnumbered order, you led the army to destroy the Su State without authorization, and you also killed one of my generals, so bold." ”

Hua Long smiled and said to King Zhou: "King Zhou, the matter has come to this point, it cannot be reversed, you can treat King Su's family well, in case Qi Guo blames, you will put the responsibility on us, you are the co-master of the world, King Qi will not dare to do anything to you, he will only take his anger out on us." Besides, if you want to catch Xiang Yu now, it's impossible, Xiang Yu leads the troops, 1 to 5 is no problem, you really can't beat him, I'm not threatening you. ”

King Zhou knew that Xiang Yu did not come, he should have taken precautions, if it wasn't for the fear of Qi State retaliation, this matter, he would not be happy, now it is a dilemma, but it can't be counted like this, so he said to Hua Long: "But you don't have the order of the widow, launch the army, and kill the widow general."

"King Zhou, I can't ask you for advice on this matter, I can't do it, there is no way to kill the general, anyway, this matter will do you more good than harm." Hua Long said.

King Zhou can't help it, detain Hualong, Xiang Yu killed him, he was really afraid that he couldn't parry, take one step at a time, and said to Hualong: "You go back first, and the widow will think about it again." "Go back and let people make good arrangements for King Su's family.

At noon the next day, Chen Sheng and Liu Hu returned with a full load, Xiang Yu put these looted things in the barracks, and the food was enough for their own 2,000 men and horses and 4,500 captives to eat for a year, even if the king of Zhou no longer paid them military salaries, he was not afraid, there were still a lot of coins, and 5,000 people's armament, and now he was trying to figure out how to convert these prisoners into his own team, originally his own 2,000 people, many of them did not really follow Xiang Yu, these surrendered over, and they did not dare to be incorporated now, in case of rebellion, All the work was lost.

At night, Hua Long asked Xiang Yu how to place the prisoners of war, he was really afraid that Xiang Yu would be troublesome and kill them all.

Xiang Yu was also hesitating, his own people were not fully controlled, let's take in these prisoners of war, the people are more than twice as many as themselves, I am afraid that it will be difficult to manage, kill it, and the impact will not be good, so I asked Hualong how to arrange it.

Hua Long thought for a while and said: "It's not okay to kill, I'm afraid it will cause more panic in King Zhou, and King Zhou is afraid, and he will lead the surrounding countries to beat us, and we will suffer from the enemy on our backs and can't deal with it." Now that it has just entered winter, Qi has at least 3,000 miles to get here, and it will take revenge, and it will be after the beginning of spring next year, at least half a year. We simply built a small city, defended it, and used all these prisoners of war to build, but we had to give an account, so that the soldiers would treat the prisoners of war well, and give the prisoners some food and pay them every month. ”

Xiang Yu said: "The second brother is thoughtful, and this arrangement is very good. ”

"Big brother, I think you will sit in the military camp from tomorrow, you have a great deterrent, so that the army is not easy to mutiny, I will go more here from King Zhou, and now I want to ask him for instructions on everything, don't let him think that we are out of control now, stand on the opposite side of him, I will go to you if there is something." Hua Long thought that it was even more important to keep in touch with King Zhou now, and took the initiative to bow to him.

Xiang Yu nodded.

Hua Long called Chen Sheng, Xia Xueqin, and Li Tingting over and ordered: "Chen Sheng will live with Brother Xiang in the barracks tomorrow, Xia Xueqin and Li Tingting, one of you will go to the barracks to help Brother Xiang, and the other will stay at home to help me." ”

Li Tingting immediately said, "I'll take care of Brother Xiang." ”

Xia Xueqin said: "Then I'll stay and take care of Brother Hua." ”

Xiang Yu said: "It's better to leave Chen Sheng to help the second brother." ”

Hua Long thought to himself: I finally thought of this, and I broke you apart, and I just left a beautiful woman at home, and you came to destroy my good deeds, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Xiang, you need your own people now, and Chen Sheng also wants to exercise more in the military camp, you can leave a horse for me." ”

Chen Sheng also said: "Brother Xiang, let me go to the barracks, I also like to lead troops to fight." ”

Xiang Yu nodded in agreement.

Hua Long wanted to be satisfied with his arrangement, he felt that he came here, his brain was much better, especially this plan to kill two birds with one stone, the matter was done, and the beauty was also available. Could it be that there are no mobile phones, computers, and TVs that are messy, and the wisdom in my mind suddenly comes out.

Hualong said to Chen Sheng: "You find some people to post notices tomorrow, recruit a large number of people to help build it, all personnel, including prisoners of war, pay half a month, don't abuse prisoners of war and workers, don't work more than 10 hours a day, if you are willing to work overtime, calculate the wages in addition, and get their food well, if there are injuries, they will be treated immediately, and they will often go down to supervise, who abuses workers and prisoners of war, military law will deal with them." You are responsible for this matter, your eldest brother Xiang is a person with a bold personality, and he is not careful. ”

"Okay, I will do as you tell me, Brother Hua." Chen Sheng assured.

Xiang Yu thought that Hua Long was not at ease with himself, but he was not unhappy in his heart, he really didn't have the patience, and he would cut people if he didn't get along.
