Xiang Yu said: "Okay, the second brother can rest assured when the time comes, I can sit still." ”

Ji Ling said happily: "When the time comes, Sister Ji Yan and I will have a few more beautiful battles, so that Brother Xiang will always sit at home in the future." ”

Xiang Yu said: "That's good, I'll call you General Ji Ling in the future." ”

Ji Ling said: "Yes, every time I see Brother Xiang's majestic appearance, I am envious. ”

Xiang Yu asked Hua Long: "How many people are you going to take?" ”

Hua Long said: "I will bring 120,000 people, and the siege equipment will be brought, and there is no problem for you to leave 100,000 to guard the tomb, and it is estimated that General Shen can still recruit tens of thousands of horses during this time." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, why don't you bring another 30,000 yuan." ”

Hua Long said: "Big brother, no, I can't win, it's a big deal to run back, but we still have to stabilize Yiling City." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Okay, that's it. ”

After more than half a month, the envoy sent replied: The king of Qin is very happy, and the state of Qin has sent an army of 200,000 to prepare to attack the state of Ba in the middle of the three kingdoms of Yong, Ba and Shu in ten days, cut off the route of the westward advance of the state of Chu, and let us contain the state of Chu in the east, the longer the better.

Hua Long said that this is the best, Yong, Ba, Shu three countries, Ba State is the weakest, after the defeat just suppressed the Chu State to the west.

The next day, Hualong set off with Ji Yan, Ji Ling, Chen Sheng, Guan Biao, Liu Hu and an army of 120,000.

Three days later, the army arrived at the border of the Chu State, and the next day, Hua Long called everyone together and said: "This time our main force is camped here, Ji Yan, Ji Ling, Chen Sheng, Guan Biao, you 4 people, tomorrow you will lead 50,000 horses and siege equipment to attack Baicheng, don't storm it, our purpose is to scare them and disperse the power of Chu." After fighting a city, don't defend it, fight around, don't be greedy, if you insert it too deep into the Chu country, you will be surrounded by them. After discovering that the army of Chu came to support, they all withdrew to me. ”

Everyone promised: "I will obey General Hua's orders." ”

Hua Long was a little uneasy and said: "Guan Biao and Ji Yan are in charge of your march this time, princess, you must obey their orders, don't be a child's play, one mistake will be the lives of tens of thousands of people." ”

The princess said: "Brother Hua, fighting a war is a war, and I still have a sense of proportion." ”

Hua Long said: "Okay, if you don't call me a dead hooligan this time, it means that you know how to advance and retreat, and you won't mess around." ”

The next day, Ji Yan and Guan Biao set off with 50,000 horses, came to the outside of Baicheng, and began to storm the city gate with a catapult, less than half an hour, the city gate was breached, because this is not a military location, and the defenders are not many, less than 1,000 people, as soon as the city gate is breached, they all surrender.

After a day of rest, Ji Yan and Guan Biao continued to lay down one city, and within 5 days, they laid down three cities in Chu State.

The king of Chu kept receiving reports from the front that the Zhou Dynasty had sent 50,000 horses to attack the city of Chu.

The king of Chu invited everyone to ask: "What is the purpose of Xiang Yu now sending 50,000 troops to attack my solid city?" What do you think you should do? ”

A general named Deng Liang said: "King, Xiang Yu's troops this time should be more than these 50,000, and there are large troops behind." The purpose of their attack on us should be that they don't want us to develop westward, and it is estimated that a consensus has been reached with the Qin State. ”

The king of Chu said: "This Yu's ambition is so big, he wants to control the development of my Chu country now, and don't let us grow." General Deng, what do you think should be done? ”

Deng Liang said: "Now the Qin army should also be stepping up its attack on the western countries, and if it wants to cut off our westward route, our army attacking the west cannot be withdrawn, and we must increase the intensity of the attack." Xiang Yu's army is at most 200,000, and the troops attacking our city are at least 100,000, and their defenders of Yiling City should not exceed 100,000, we can send a large army to support the front line, and at the same time send envoys to discuss with the King of Yue, let them attack Yiling, the King of Yue has just suffered Xiang Yu's loss, and he must want to take revenge. ”

The king of Chu said: "General Deng, this plan is very good, can we send an envoy to inform the Jin State and ask them to contain Qin Gu." ”

Deng Liang said: "It's useless to go, the Jin State is good with us on the surface, but in fact, I wish our strength was weakened, and Xiang Yu must have notified the Qi State and asked them to watch the movements of the Jin State, so the Jin State will not send troops casually."

The king of Chu said: "Okay, General Deng, you will lead 200,000 troops to support the front line this time, and then let people go to inform the king of Yue to attack Yiling, and strive to destroy Xiang Yu." ”

Within a few days, Guan Biao and Ji Yan received a report from the spies, saying that the State of Chu had dispatched 200,000 troops to support, so they led the troops back and joined Hualong. Hua Long thought, Chu State is going to destroy me, send so many troops at one time.

A few days later, the Chu army arrived, camped 2 kilometers away from the Hualong army, and for several days, the Chu state did not attack.

Hua Long felt a little strange, they sent so many troops, they should have wanted to destroy us, but now they don't attack, what are they waiting for? It's not good, Hua Long suddenly thought: they want to cooperate with the Yue State and let the Yue State attack Yiling. So he hurriedly sent someone to inform Xiang Yu.

After King Yue received the request of the King of Chu, he thought that now was a rare opportunity, and if he wanted to destroy Xiang Yu this time, his strength would increase a lot. Anyway, now he was suppressed by Xiang Yu and couldn't get out, so he replied to the king of Chu and took 200,000 to attack Yiling.

After Xiang Yu received Hua Long's notice, the Yue army had been setting off for several days. Xiang Yu thought, you Yue Wang is not afraid of losses, so 200,000 people came to beat me Xiang Yu, I originally wanted to find a chance to destroy you, now that you are sent to the door.

King Yue led 200,000 troops to camp 20 miles outside Yiling City, preparing to rest for two days and start attacking Yiling.

Xiang Yu did not wait for the Vietnamese army to gain a firm foothold, so he led 40,000 cavalry to set off. Xiang Yu was anxious: he was afraid that if the time dragged on, Hua Long and Ji Yan would suffer, and he wanted to defeat the Yue army quickly and then go to support Hua Long and them.

King Yue was a little caught off guard, he didn't expect Xiang Yu not to defend the city, and on the first day when his army arrived, he brought 40,000 people to fight his own 200,000, and King Yue hurriedly responded to the battle.

The 200,000 troops of the King of Yue were lined up, the battle line was a little long, Xiang Yu led 40,000 cavalry to rush through the middle of the Yue King's army, and the soldiers on both sides of the Yue army rushed to help. But Xiang Yu killed 10,000 horses of the Vietnamese army in half an hour, and after the soldiers on both sides of the Vietnamese army rushed over, Xiang Yu had already rushed out of a gap in the shape of the Vietnamese army.

Xiang Yu rushed over, did not return to the city, turned his head again, and killed the end of the Vietnamese army. King Yue's army hurried to support again, and in another half an hour, Xiang Yu killed more than 10,000 Vietnamese soldiers. After the other soldiers of the Vietnamese army came over, Xiang Yu went out again.

Xiang Yu did not rest, the cavalry rushed to the other end of the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army was tired of running for their lives, and went to support, but Xiang Yu killed more than 10,000 people in about half an hour.

King Yue panicked, he had never seen such a person fighting, let alone such a fierce person, and a general who led the troops was still in the first place. The last time King Yue failed to fight the Lu State, he always thought that the people of the Central Plains would use tricks, and this time he saw Xiang Yu fighting, and he found out what a charge was.

Xiang Yu didn't give King Yue any respite, so he rushed back and forth, killing more and more people on the other side every time. For more than 4 hours, Xiang Yu rushed back and forth six times, and the Vietnamese army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, and the casualties on his own side were only a few thousand.

Xiang Yu won't kill here, if he kills again, his physical strength will be overdrawn, but it will be dangerous. Then he said to King Yue: "King Yue, you haven't learned a lesson from your last failure, and you have come to offend me again, so it's no wonder that I am." ”
