Although there were not many casualties in the Battle of Chenxian, Xiang Yu lost the important pass of Chenxian, which happened to be between Xingyang and Pengcheng, making the Han army's disadvantage for many days enough to hold on to the Chu army.

Xiang Yu was furious when he saw the loss of Chen County, but after Han Xin occupied Chen County, he immediately sent troops to reinforce him, and after several battles, Xiang Yu attached a little importance to Han Xin, so he did not dare to attack.

And after Han Xin occupied Chen County, Xiang Yu garrisoned Wai Huang, at this moment the distance between the two armies was not thirty miles, Fan Zeng saw that Han Xin was so smart, every time he thought of this, Fan Zeng sighed.

In the Outer Yellow City, Xiang Yu was in the first place, Fan Zeng and the others sat on the left and right, and the atmosphere was quite silent, "The king, Chen County has been lost, in the eyes of the old decay, it is better to Wai Huang, and then join forces with Yingbu, Gong Ao, and take the land of Guanzhong, so delayed, the last injury will only be Chu Han, but it will make Qi Zhao profitable." ”

Xiang Yu listened to Fan Zeng's words and frowned slightly, "Since the battle of Pengcheng, our army has been defeated and retreated, if I don't capture the crotch husband now, it will be difficult to solve the worries in my heart!" ”

"But that Han Xin soldier is like a god, never take risks, if you want to capture him, the only way to capture the king of Han first, if there is a loss in that pass, the king of Han is lonely in Xingyang, but I don't know that the grain in Xingyang is transferred from Hanzhong, I hope the king thinks deeply." Fan Zeng said very seriously, and the generals were also the heads.

Xiang Yu was just silent beside him, and only said after a while: "There are 60,000 soldiers in Waihuang today, how can Han Xin break through 60,000 Chu troops, and after more than a month, he will fight a decisive battle with the Han army. ”

Fan Zeng didn't refute too much, thinking that the rest of the month was the cold winter wax moon, and it was not appropriate to send troops at that time, and there was no hidden danger for Xiang Yu to fight against the Han army.

After Han Xin planned to capture Chen County, the Han army was greatly boosted, after all, it was a continuous setback to the Chu army's spirit, this kind of situation seemed to have never happened, it can be seen that Han Xin was still slightly higher than Xiang Yu.

In the city of Chenxian, Han Xin felt that at this time, he should fight quickly, occupy Waihuang, and then form an opposition with Chu, and then lead his troops to attack the ground, leaving Pingnanhou here to consume with the Chu army.

In fact, the Han army had a very clear battle plan from the beginning, of course, before the battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang meant to occupy Pengcheng, and then eliminate Xiang Yu and seize the world.

However, it seems that Xiang Yu's strength was underestimated, and then Zhang Liang and others improved slightly on the original plan, and the specific combat steps were to first capture the Outer Huang Zhudi and form a confrontation with the Chu State in Pengcheng.

Then Han Xin deployed strategic points, evacuated Chen County, led troops to the north, and then attacked Daijun and Yandi, while Liu Bang stayed and consumed with Chu, so that Chu did not increase, but Han continued to expand, of course, there is a very important premise in this, that is, Han Xin cannot be defeated.

Gossip is less, and seeing that the two armies of Chen County and Waihuang do not dare to act rashly, Han Xin naturally does not want to continue to delay time, but if he attacks strongly, he will inevitably not be able to attack, in general, Han Xin's combat has a characteristic, that is, he likes to lure the enemy out, which is roughly the case with Waste Hill, Gaonu, and Pingyang.

So, Han Xin then convened the generals to discuss, "Now that Chen County has been broken, if Waihuang is taken, then it can form an opposition to the Chu State, and the Han army can have no worries here." ”

"What does the general think?" Guan Ying was also the first to ask, wanting to fight twice, the first time he led more than 1,000 people to burn the bridge, and the second time he led more than 1,000 people to slip in circles, which made Guan Ying feel quite aggrieved.

Han Xin glanced at the map slightly, "How did Chen County get it?" How to take the outer yellow? ”

Wang Ling frowned slightly, "Isn't it that the general still wants someone to send troops to attack Pengcheng?" Presumably, Xiang Yu will take more precautions this time, if the troops are dispatched, Chen County will not be able to hold it. ”

"General Wang is very worried, but this time it is also a feint to attack Pengcheng, and then counterattack Waihuang, I think that Xiang Yu will definitely not notice, if that Xiang Yu really does not send troops to rescue, then directly attack Pengcheng!" Han Xin said quite confidently.

The generals were full of doubts, and they didn't know what Han Xin meant, "Tomorrow, Guan Ying and Cao Shen will lead 20,000 troops to take Pengcheng, I think Xiang Yu will definitely send troops to rescue again, but last time our army had 3,000, and Xiang Yu sent 10,000, this time Xiang Yu may not dare to send so many soldiers, in case Wai Huang is lost, when the time comes, Guan Ying will lead the troops to counterattack directly, the Chu army will be defeated, Xiang Yu will be furious, send troops to help, so Zhou Bo and Fan Xu led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue, then Fan Zeng will definitely think that Chen County is empty, send troops to attack, He set up an ambush in the city and defeated the Chu army, and then the three armies joined forces to capture Waihuang. ”

The soldiers were ordered, the time to make rice, the baby and others set off first, from the south of Huangnan can go all the way to Pengcheng, quite fast, Xiang Yu heard that there was another Han army attack Pengcheng.

only felt that it was Han Xin's plan, so he asked Ji Bu to lead five thousand elite soldiers to intercept it, Xiang Yu also thought in his heart that this was a plan to lure the enemy, but this time it seemed to be a way to counter-lure the enemy.

Ji Bu led the army to intercept and kill the infants, and the Han army that was transferred from Chengyang to Pengcheng last time was only 3,000, and there would definitely not be many of them this time.

When the infant in front heard that the Chu army had descended, he deliberately slowed down his march, and when Ji Bu came, he directly fought back, Ji Bu marched very fast, and rushed to the back of the Han army at noon.

Before he investigated the geometry of the Han army, how did he know that Guan Ying had brought back the men and horses, Ji Bu was shocked, hurriedly responded to the battle, lost 4,000 men and horses, and fled back to the camp in a hurry.

Xiang Yu was really furious when he heard the news, and immediately sent 30,000 soldiers back, led by Long Ji and Zhong Liwu to kill them, Han Xin heard that the Waihuang army was defeated, and immediately ordered Fan Hao and others to go to ambush.

In the outer Huangcheng, Fan Zeng thought about it carefully, maybe this time Han Xin really wanted to attack Pengcheng, it was impossible to say, there must be a lot of troops sent out in this way, if the Chu army attacked Chen County, wouldn't it be possible to take it in one fell swoop.

Then he went to the mansion to meet Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was embarrassed at this time, after all, just a moment ago, he lost 4,000 soldiers and horses, but he still gave Fan Zeng tea and prepared a seat.

"What is the Father calling now?" The words are very unpleasant.

"King Qiqi, now Han Xin has sent soldiers one after another, and it seems that he wants to capture Pengcheng, is the king sitting here waiting to be killed?" Fan Zeng said mysteriously.

"I have sent soldiers, Pengcheng is worry-free." Xiang Yu said slowly.

"Since Pengcheng is fine, Chen County may not have troops, and the king can lead his troops to attack and take the opportunity to recapture Chen County." Fan Zeng then said.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he just paced back and forth in the mansion, "It's just that Han Xin is still in Chen County, I'm afraid there is fraud, and it has always been easier to defend the city than to attack the city, and this matter needs to be discussed safely." ”

"The king can first send Ji Bu to test and make up for his mistakes, and then he will enter Chen County, so as not to be plotted by Han Xin'er." Fan Zeng repeatedly admonished, believing that this was a good opportunity and should not be missed.
