Liu Bang was worried about sending troops at the moment, and suddenly heard Lu Yan asking to see him, and his heart was a little excited, and he immediately ordered someone to bring him into the mansion, thinking that he must have come here to discuss the purpose of sending troops.

"Master Hou has been with the military all day long, could it be that he already has a strategy to send troops? I have been in Xingyang for a long time, and I have been thinking about this matter, and I also asked Hou Ye to see him. Liu Bang said straight to the point.

Lu Yan was a little dazed, he didn't expect Liu Bang to be so anxious, "Brother, don't worry, Ziyu is here for this matter, now the king has signed an alliance with Xiang Yu, but Han Xin and Yingbu don't, I don't know if the king knows what I mean?" ”

"Are you saying that Han Xin will send troops to attack the Chu State, is it just so certain?" Liu Bang said with some skepticism.

"Brother, Han Xin has not tasted defeat since the Han Dynasty, and the radius of the Chu State is only a hundred miles, this time Han Xin sent troops, or he can destroy the Chu State in one fell swoop, so that the elder brother will be in Kyushu and the people of the world." Lu Yan said slowly.

Lu Yan saw that Liu Bang was silent, and seemed to understand Liu Bang's meaning a little in his heart, "Brother, please rest assured, Ziyu is in Han for a day, and the tautology will never dare to be presumptuous, and please make a quick decision to the elder brother, the three armies cannot wait, and the people have long hoped for reunification, return home to honor their parents, and accompany their wives and children." ”

"Since this is the case, according to the words of the Hou Ye, I will order Han Xin to command the three armies and attack the Chu State with the order of the King of Qi!" Liu Bang said with great momentum.

After Han Xin received the order, he was overjoyed, and immediately went to the border of Chu with Yingbu and Peng Yue, and Peng Cheng Xiang Yu was furious when he heard this, and wanted to send troops to kill Han Xin.

In the palace of the King of Chu, Xiang Yu was in the first place, his face was warm and angry, "Zhong Lifu, how many soldiers are there around Pengcheng today!" ”

"King Qiqi, if you recall the surrounding soldiers today, there can be more than 100,000 Chu generals, all of whom can stand with them, as long as the king gives an order, you can send troops to attack Han!" Zhong Liwu replied quite seriously.

At this moment, Zhou Lan immediately came out and admonished: "Now Han Xin is coming with troops, there are many soldiers and generals, it is not suitable to go to war, and our army has been training for a long time, so it is not impossible to wait for some time to send troops." ”

Xiang Yu's face was embarrassed, and when he heard that Han Xin was leading the troops, he was even more angry, and immediately scolded: "I have been in the world for many years, and I have been defeated by Han Xin many times, if I don't kill that crotch man now, I vow not to return to the dynasty!" ”

Ji Bu was beside him, glanced at Zhou Lan, and immediately came out and said: "King Qiyu, the Han army is powerful, and Han Xin is scheming, the king should not underestimate the enemy, in the eyes of the minister, if you follow Zhou Lan's words, first deep ditch and high base, do not fight, and then call the common lieutenant to send troops, two sides of the attack, even if the lieutenant does not come to support, we can store food here, and Han Xin for a few days, we are waiting for work, and Han Xin has traveled a long distance, the supply is inconvenient, sooner or later withdraw the army!" ”

"When the Han army retreats to the west, our army can send troops to the west, and the battle can be won, even if Han Xin has the ability to change the sky, I am afraid that he can only flee from the wind!"

When the overlord heard this, he was silent, and immediately retreated, thinking about himself, Ji Bu and Zhou Lan are generals and have never made mistakes, but if they follow their words, they are afraid that they will be plundered by the Han army.

In the early morning of the next day, the overlord convened his ministers to review the matter, and Zhou Lan and Ji Bu both maintained their original views, and should not be with Han Xinxiang, but should be stubborn, so that the Han army retreated without a fight.

And Zhong Liwu next to him immediately bowed and saluted: "The morale of the Han army is high today, if you can't hold out, the places around Pengcheng should be difficult to defend yourself, according to the humble opinion of the ministers, if the king personally leads the troops, attack the Han camp, and the battle is urgent, if it is defeated, the Han army is defeated, and it can continue to go west, if it is defeated, it is not too late to retreat to Pengcheng." ”

"Zhong Li's words are exactly what I want, the three armies will rest and recuperate, and they will send troops tomorrow!" Xiang Yu said very firmly.

Zhou Lanjibu was beside him, hesitating in his heart, and he didn't know how to advise, so he had to retreat to the camp and listen to Xiang Yu's instructions, and at this moment, Han Xin had already set up an ambush in Jiuli Mountain, and was about to wait for the overlord to send troops.

Not long after, the overlord led the troops to the vicinity of Jiuli Mountain, and there were scouts in front of him to report, saying that there were tens of thousands of Han troops, who were training men and horses in Qifengpo every day, and were waiting for a decisive battle with the overlord army.

When the overlord heard this, he camped fifty miles east of Qifengpo, summoned the generals and ordered: "You have been through a hundred battles with me, almost undefeated, today the Han army is heavy, should not underestimate the enemy, we must be more careful, to prevent the Han army from cheating, Zhong Liwu led 30,000 troops and the left camp to camp, Zhou Lanjibu led 30,000 troops and the right camp to camp, I led 40,000 troops in the middle camp to wait for the Han army to attack."

In the Han army camp, Han Xin had already learned that the overlord had sent troops, but although an ambush had been set up, the Chu army did not seem to have any intention of advancing, but only guarded the camp.

So, Han Xin convened the generals to discuss the matter, and at this moment, Guan Ying, Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, Wang Ling, Chen Xuan, etc. were all there, and the strategists Li Zuoche and Chen Ping were also around.

"Now there are more than 200,000 Han troops and 100,000 Chu troops, but Xiang Yu is brave and has three armies, and he can't fight with them, but he can't fight without fighting, you can have suggestions, just put them forward." Han Xin asked quite seriously.

Li Zuoche first bowed down and replied: "Now the Chu army is gathered in one place, it is difficult to break through, why not attack from the rear, or sneak attack at night, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

Han Xin bowed slightly, "I have a plan today, and I said to you, the overlord led 100,000 troops to break the Han army, presumably Pengcheng was already empty, and a certain leader led 20,000 troops to attack the city directly." ”

"Guan Ying Cao Shen led 20,000 soldiers to ambush between Jiuli Mountain and Pengcheng, and Xiahou Ying Zhou Bo led 20,000 troops around the Chu camp, waiting for the time to move."

"Wang Ling Chen Feng does not need, ambush, lead 60,000 soldiers to attack directly, and see how the overlord meets the enemy, if the expectation is good, it should be the whole army to attack, do not dare to disperse the Chu army, in addition to Li Zuoche will ambush the rest of the soldiers in the rear of Wang Ling, do not rush out, wait until Wang Ling Station but, the Chu army to chase, with a bow and crossbow to break it, can not fight hard, otherwise the Han army is in danger."

After Han Xin arranged everything, only Fan Xu was in a bad mood, and all the ministries would be arranged, but Fan Xu did not have any work, and things were inevitably a little embarrassing.

"Han Xin, could it be that you look down on so-and-so, and you don't even fight with you!" Fan Xuren was tall and asked a little anxiously.

Han Xin just smiled, "General Fan, don't worry, your affairs are the most important thing compared to those here, if you lose, you will lose everything." ”

When Fan Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Please also ask the general to elaborate!" ”

"Although all the generals have been arranged, but after all, there is one command, General Fan can find the most interconnected place for the Chu and Han armies to ambush and command the Han army to fight, there must be no mistakes!" Han Xin said very seriously.

Fan Xu just frowned beside him, "The general's arrangement is natural and safe, but where is the place to communicate, Fan Xu really doesn't know." ”

"Nine miles of mountains outside the nine miles of the Mausoleum, the high and low are uneven. Just send troops to the Han camp and sit firmly to know the military situation of Chu. Han Xin pretended to be mysterious and said.

The generals all laughed when they heard this, "Dog slaughter is the hardest, and if it is defeated, it will be indispensable!" Wang Ling also said jokingly on the side.
