Chapter 26: Into Jeongkook 2
The princess was embarrassed to ask again, and said, "Brother Xiang, I'm sorry." Then he walked away, but he thought in his heart: It must be Brother Xiang's former wife, she can't be wrong, but the name has "fish", which is too unpleasant.
Xiang Yu and Hua Long discussed for several days, but they didn't think of a good way, and both of them thought: Kill into the city, with Xiang Yu's ability, there is a great certainty that they can win, but the casualties will be very miserable. Now there are hundreds of vassal states in the world, in order to destroy the Zheng State, they have defeated themselves, and other countries will take the opportunity to retaliate, but the gains outweigh the losses.
If there are only two countries in the world, whoever wins the battle will get the world, then they can fight at any cost, and now they have to destroy each other again, and they have to preserve a certain amount of strength.
The best way is to lure them out of the city and fight against their own side, now the military food is not a problem, their side has eaten ten small countries, and half of the territory of Zheng State has been laid, plus the two cities of Weiguo, the territory is several times that of the original Zhou Dynasty, and the grain can be sent from the rear continuously.
After a few more days, Hua Long found Xiang Yu and said, "Big brother, I thought of a solution, I don't know if it works, just take some time." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, let's talk about it." ”
Hua Long said: "We simply drove the army to camp outside their city gate, and then asked people to spread the message everywhere, saying that the king of Zhou wanted to recover the lost territory, but the king of Zhou was so good that he didn't want to directly attack the city, causing the lives to be ruined, so that they would surrender, and if they did not surrender within a certain period of time, they would be directly captured." In this way, their people may panic, if this kind of atmosphere is formed in the entire Yiling City, Zheng Guo will definitely send troops to attack us. ”
Xiang Yu said: "Second brother's method is good, I was embattled by Han Xin at the beginning, and many soldiers lost their willpower, and the army's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so it was defeated." ”
Hua Long thought to himself: I just thought of this, but I'm embarrassed to say it. So Hualong sent someone to call the princess and told her what she had just thought, saying that she would let her complete this task, and asked Chen Sheng to cooperate with her, so that the more panicked Yiling City was, the better.
The princess was happy now, she really liked to do this kind of thing, and after listening to it, she ran to find Chen Sheng.
Xiang Yu pushed the army forward until he camped 5 miles outside the gate of Yiling City, which also played a scare role, and the people who entered and left the city were also scared. Xiang Yu was not afraid that Zheng Guo's army would come out to attack, this was what he wanted, but this made both sides very nervous and on high alert, afraid that the other party would launch a surprise attack.
On the princess's side, she found a lot of people, dressed as the people of Zheng Guo, and taught them to talk when they saw people around the city.
The saying is: "I heard that our King Zheng sent troops to attack the King of Zhou last time, and was defeated by the King of Zhou, and King Zheng recruited Qi and Wei to fight the King of Zhou together, and was defeated by the King of Zhou." The king of Zhou now wants to take back the state of Zheng, but the king of Zhou is so good that he doesn't want to directly attack the city and cause misery. If you live in Yiling City, or if you have relatives in Yiling City, move out. I heard that the king of Zhou was going to lead his troops to attack the city in two months, and then we would suffer, and their army was five miles outside the city, and I saw it, and I was ready to move. Besides, the world was originally owned by the king of Zhou, and no one should be the same people. ”
Xiang Yu's side, every few days, he led a large group of people to shout outside the city gate: "The people of Yiling City listen well: King Zheng is immoral and incompetent, and has repeatedly led troops to invade the King of Zhou, but he has been defeated by the King of Zhou, and now the King of Zhou wants to attack Yiling City and take back Zheng Guo, and you are limited to 2 months for you to move out, and the King of Zhou is not willing to hurt the people." ”
In less than half a month, in Yiling City, the people were a little panicked, and in a month, some people really moved away, and King Zheng couldn't sit still, and asked the ministers what to do.
Many people who were afraid of death said: "King, will you make peace with King Zhou?" ”
King Zheng said: "Whoever says that he will negotiate peace, the widow will kill him first, and you will not look at it, is this Yu the person who wants to negotiate peace, he is going to destroy my Zheng Guo." ”
One of the ministers said, "O king, let us ask for help from other countries." ”
King Zheng said: "Qi and Wei will not help, other big countries are far away from Zheng Guo." Only the state of Chu is south of Xiang Yu, and the state of Song is behind us, if these two countries can help, our crisis can be solved, but I don't know if they are willing to help, and other countries are too small to help at all. ”
Shen You said: "King, now most of the territory of Zheng State is occupied by Xiang Yu, and sending people to Chu State can only bypass it, come and go, things have not been negotiated, and the people in our city are going to run out, so we can only see if Song State is willing to help, but Song State's military strength is about the same as ours." ”
King Zheng immediately sent someone to the Song State to ask for help, and a few days later, the envoy to the Song State replied, saying that the Song King had promised to send 50,000 troops and set off in 15 days. King Zheng thought, I have to wait for 15 days, my eyebrows are burned, and King Song is deliberately dragging it.
King Song really thought like this: Don't help you, in case you win, come to me to settle the score. Help, since you Zheng Guo have been forced to be like this, it proves that the other party is strong. I heard that last time the combined forces of Qi, Wei and Zheng attacked the king of Zhou, and finally Qi and Wei both retreated, and our Song State cannot compare with them, let alone wade into this troubled water. simply agreed to send troops and slowly dragged out time.
Half a month later, 50,000 horses of the Song Kingdom set out, but half of the people of Yiling City had moved out, and many soldiers were also shaken. What made King Zheng unbearable the most was that the Song army couldn't walk 30 miles a day, and if it continued like this, he didn't know when it would arrive.
Shen You said to King Zheng: "King, let's just go out of the city and attack Xiang Yu, the Song army is waiting, if we don't win a battle, they won't come to help, we can't wait any longer, if we wait, the army will not be able to control it." ”
King Zheng was helpless and said: "General Shen listens to the order, and you will command all the men and horses, and go out of the city tomorrow to kill the enemy." "King Zheng was forced to go out of the city and fight to the death.
The next morning, Shen You led 150,000 horses out of the city and stopped 500 meters away from Xiang Yu's army.
Xiang Yu has already led people to meet the enemy, and now the number is 80,000 against 150,000, but Xiang Yu's cavalry has 45,000, and Zheng Guo's cavalry is only 30,000, because he was killed by Hualong last time 20,000, so Zheng Guo's advantage is not obvious.
Xiang Yu said to Shen You: "General Shen, let's go directly to the war today and decide whether we win or lose, it will be bad for you to drag it out." ”
Shen Yu said: Okay. Then with a wave of the sword, the soldiers divided into two ways and killed from both sides, he was afraid that Xiang Yu and they were ambushing catapults and arrows and crossbows in front of them.
Xiang Yu also waved his sword and shouted: Attack. He led 15,000 cavalry to kill directly from the middle. The rest of the team was divided into two sides to meet the enemy, Xiang Yu took the lead, as if entering a no-man's land, Zheng Guo's soldiers were killed by him before they could get close. Xiang Yu's current weapon is a thickened special spear, but it is not his favorite weapon.
Shen You was shocked when he saw Xiang Yu killing the enemy, and said in his heart: How many years have you been fighting on the battlefield, and it is the first time you have seen the general rushing to the front, no wonder Qi people say that he can be a thousand troops alone! The generals are desperately rushing to kill like this, so why don't the soldiers go forward bravely and kill the enemy desperately. The world can't find a second Xiang Yu, others fight, the generals are all commanding, the generals are dead, the army is in chaos; Xiang Yu fights, that is, he takes the lead and takes the lead, but the other party can't hurt him at all, it seems that this battle is going to be lost.
Xiang Yu's side has been killing from the middle to the rear of the Zheng army, the two sides are now fighting in three ways, there are many dead and wounded, the fierce battle has been more than half an hour, everyone has fallen in batches, Xiang Yu has gone deep into the rear of the Zheng army.
Shen You felt that something was wrong, when Zheng Jun killed from both sides just now, Xiang Yu did not meet the enemy, but killed in the middle, so he didn't figure it out, and now he saw that Xiang Yu had killed very deeply, so he reacted, he was going to kill into the city to capture the king.
Shen You was shocked in his heart: It's over, it's a plan again, and now the two sides are in a mess, and there is no way to go back, if you have to retreat, you will be in chaos, and maybe the whole army will be wiped out. They calculated that I was going to attack from both sides, so Xiang Yu rushed out of the middle, and now the city was empty, and he had to resign himself to fate!
