Everyone applauded, and the princess suddenly said, "You are too sinister." ”

The prince said: "Sister Wang, you can't say that, General Hua's move is a bit yin, but it reduces the casualty rate of the soldiers, like the last time we attacked the city of 1,000 people, we killed 400, and the other party also died half, in fact, this strategy couldn't be better."

Xiang Yu listened and said, "My second brother's trick is not insidious at all, I was killed by yin before." According to this plan, Liu Hu, you leave 3,500 people to guard here, strictly check the key roads of each checkpoint, if someone comes to attack, just defend it, don't go out of the city, and then send someone to inform me. The rest of the people went with me to fight Fan Guo. ”

The princess didn't expect that she had just said a word, and several people objected, but in fact, she didn't mean anything else, just casually talking. He saw Hua Long snickering, he was angry, and stepped directly on Hua Long's feet, Hua Long couldn't help but scream out in pain, thinking that he couldn't stand with this woman next time. In fact, every time the princess wanted to get close to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu and Hua Long stood together, and on the other side of Xiang Yu were the prince and other generals, she was not good at inserting in the middle, so she had to stand next to Hua Long.

Early the next day, Xiang Yu led 10,000 cavalry to set off, because the princess was there, so now the war has brought a few women with them, so that they can take care of each other, the princess and the two maids, plus Xia Xueqin and Li Tingting together with five women.

When Xiang Yu's team arrived in Fanguo, 10,000 cavalry directly drove to the garrison outside Fanguo, surrounded them in a fan-shape, and the momentum was particularly huge, only scary, not killing, because these soldiers were their own after surrendering. There were 3,000 garrisons outside the city of Fanguo, and when they saw that they had more than three times their own cavalry, they ran back to the city to defend. Xiang Yu led the troops to make them uneasy.

Now there is time, and the next day, Xiang Yu simply trained outside the city. Hua Long said to the princess: "Have some fun for you, won't you play?" ”

The princess said, "I'm bored, what are you playing?" ”

Hua Long said: "You take two hundred people every day, go outside the city gate, get some oil for the arrows, light the fire, shoot into the city, the more damage the better, but pay attention to safety, you just take Chen Sheng and them, and bring a few hundred more people." ”

The princess said, "It's a good errand, you stinky rascal know me." ”

"Don't be happy early, I'm afraid that your arrows won't be able to shoot on the wall, if not, ask your brother Xiang Yu to teach you, he can shoot arrows very well." Hua Long said.

"Yes, yes." The princess was even happier.

"In short, you try your best to get them to surrender, and if you make them surrender within a month, you will be allowed to fight later." Hua Long said.

"Don't worry, I'll do a good job for you on this errand." The princess patted her chest and said.

Hua Long suddenly looked at her breast, and the princess cursed the dead hooligan again, and left.

After a while, the princess took Chen Sheng and them to the city gate, the front two rows of people held shields to prevent the other party's arrows from shooting, and then the princess picked up the arrow and shot it, she shot it several times, where the arrow landed, there were still several meters away from the city wall, everyone was laughing when they saw it, and she stomped her feet angrily.

Xiang Yu happened to pass behind, and couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and when the princess saw Xiang Yu, she ran to Xiang Yu and said, "Brother Xiang, you can teach me." ”

Xiang Yu said: "I don't have the kung fu to play with you." ”

"This is not a joke, this is arranged by Brother Hua, telling me to use no matter what method I use, as long as I surrender them within a month, I will be allowed to fight in the future, and he also said that he asked me to find you to learn archery, saying that you are very good at archery." The princess moved out of Hualong, and he thought that Xiang Yu and Hualong had a very good relationship.

Xiang Yu listened, asked the soldiers in front of him to take the bow and arrow, pulled up the bow, and shot an arrow, the arrow hit the flagpole of a flag on the city wall, and the fire oil of the arrow splashed on the flag and burned, Xiang Yu was originally more than 30 meters behind the princess, this is accurate! The soldier next to him shouted again: "General Xiang is amazing!" General Xiang is amazing! The princess looked at Xiang Yu with a look of fascination.

The soldiers on the other side of the city wall were also frightened by Xiang Yu's arrow, and did not go to put out the fire, and the fire on the flag burned bigger and bigger.

The princess was stunned for a while, and became even more energetic, instead of pestering Xiang Yu to teach her, Xiang Yu had no choice, so she taught her.

The princess learned by shooting, and after more than an hour of study, she could barely shoot an arrow at the city wall. Then they called everyone to shoot together, so that all the fire on the city wall was shot by them, and the flags were burned, and the princess suddenly thought that this city gate was also made of wood, and told everyone to shoot at the city gate, and get more oil on the arrows, and after a while, the door was full of arrows, and the fire burned bigger and bigger, and the burned arrows fell to the ground, piled up in a pile, and burned again, and the princess saw that the arrows on the city gate were almost gone, and shot up again, and this method really worked.

Hua Long looked at it and said, "Princess, you are so wise! I adore you so much! ”

The soldier next to him shouted: "The princess is wise! The princess is wise! ”

The princess was so happy this time.

Xiang Yu saw it and thought that if it continued like this, no matter how thick the city gate was, it would be burned through in a few days. Then he called a few hundred more men to come, and the four rows in front took shields, and those in the back took arrows, so as to strengthen the protection and prevent the people in the city from sneaking up.

The princess did not waste any more arrows now, and everyone stepped back, and when the arrows at the gate were almost burned, they stepped forward to shoot a batch.

The people on the city wall were in a hurry, and hurriedly sent people to report to the city, and after a while, a few generals came to the city wall, and when they saw this situation, they didn't know what to do.

When the princess saw several generals coming from the city wall, she shouted to them: "Surrender, our General Xiang is very good, otherwise the soldiers you fled back outside the city would have been killed long ago, and now our king of Zhou wants to recover the lost territory, you are all the people of the Zhou Dynasty, don't resist, you surrender, those who are willing to go home go home, and those who are willing to continue to fight will make contributions with us." ”

On the third day, the city gate was burned down, Xiang Yu directly said to them, either surrender, or not to kill them, and after a while, all the people in the city surrendered, and Xiang Yu collected 5,000 surrendered soldiers.

At this meritorious service reward meeting, Xiang Yu said: "This time, it didn't take a single soldier, and I took down Fan Guo in 3 days, the princess is the first hero, I don't know how to reward you." ”

Hua Long said: "I am going to stay here for 2 months, who knows that it will be completed in 3 days, this time I really want to thank the princess." ”

The princess was embarrassed to be praised, and said a little modestly: "I am also doing fun, I accidentally made it like this, you must take me with you next time you fight." ”

Hua Long said: "I will definitely take you." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, what are your plans for the next step." ”

Hua Long said: "Of the 5,000 people this time, 4,05 remained, we have 18,000 people, and Su and Fan each left 500 people, it's okay, the original country now belongs to the portal, or let Liu Hu defend there, but inform Liu Hu, do a good job of reconnaissance, a small group of enemies will attack, and the city will not be released; If you find that the army is coming, abandon the city directly, return to the Zhou Dynasty, join us, don't make senseless sacrifices, the city is gone, you can fight back, we are too thin now, we must preserve our strength. We now have a total of 18,000 troops, except for the 4,500 who defended the city in three places, and the remaining 13,500 people all returned to the Zhou Dynasty, and during this time we stepped up the manufacture of siege equipment. ”

At the same time, the two things that Hualong instructed all localities to do now are:

1. Continue to reassure the population, strengthen agricultural production, reduce taxes, and do everything possible to provide the tools needed for agricultural production.

2. Post notices everywhere, conscription, how much can be conscripted, don't limit the crowd, no matter who you accept. The Zhou Dynasty implemented the system of the country and the wilderness, the people of the country were soldiers, the savages were not soldiers, and the territory of the country was divided into several different groups of regions such as yi, suburbs, herding, wild, forest, and kun from the inside to the outside, and the first three categories belonged to the countrymen, and the last three categories belonged to the savages.
