Chapter 356: Determination and Strategy
Xiang Zhuang has been in battle for a long time, and he is very good at sneak attacks, snipers, etc., he stepped forward and responded: "The last general will obey the order!" With that, he picked up the arrow, turned around and walked out of the tent!
Xiang Yu issued the last and most important order: "Zhong Liwu, I order you to lead the remaining 130,000 horses and horses to attack Xingyang in turn, and put the greatest pressure on Liu Bang!" This kid is hiding in a turtle shell, thinking I can't do anything about him, I'm phew! At present, although Liu Bang has nearly 300,000 defenders in Xingyang, most of these soldiers are newly replenished soldiers and have no actual combat effectiveness. ”
Zhong Liwu stepped forward and responded loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" "Take the order and prepare for the siege!
In fact, after watching it for a long time, everyone will understand that this is the difference! Under Liu Bang's account, although all the generals will obey the order, at least everyone will participate in the discussion, and they are not afraid of being scolded by Liu Bang, and the generals and strategists are very motivated. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info the so-called everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high! But under Xiang Yu's tent, although the generals are heroic, most of them are more like ornaments, and their heads grow on the neck of the book and Fan Zeng, and everyone can only exert their enthusiasm and initiative when they leave Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. This is probably one of the main reasons why Han Xin, Chen Ping and Yingbu finally betrayed Xiang Yu, these great talents in the world have no room to exert themselves under Xiang Yu's account, all successes are Xiang Yu's successes in the end, and all victories are Xiang Yu's victories in the end......
Of course, these are all speculations, and there will be many actual reasons. At least one thing we must confirm is that Xiang Yu is currently in a situation where "being smart is being mistaken by being smart". In today's words, it is the difference between "Yiyantang" and "democratic discussion", "Yiyantang" has advantages, but if you make a mistake, it is likely to be an overall mistake!
Fortunately for the time being, the current Liu Bang has been affected by the defeat of Pengcheng, and his vitality and confidence have been affected, and he does not have the strength to carry out a strategic counterattack against Xiang Yu. [Zhong Liwu] attacked Xingyang City on the frontal battlefield, Liu Bang had the advantage of troops and the strength of the city, [Zhong Liwu] fought for a long time, and did not take any advantage.
At this time, Liu Bang was guarded by [Fan Xu], Xiahou Ying, Zhou Boying and other dead friends, Xiao He was constantly transporting new troops from Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and there were princes and generals who continued to surrender to join, although they were surrounded by the Chu army, their strength was growing day by day, little by little! This is really a super ironic situation, many people can't figure it out, especially Xiang Yu!
Liu Bang's army in Xingyang was only about 30,000 at first, and about 100,000 stragglers were recruited one after another, and then Xiao He sent another 150,000 from Guanzhong. By the time Xiang Yu and Liu Bang formed a confrontation situation in Xingyang, Liu Bang already had an army of 300,000, of course, nearly half of these soldiers were recruits, and many of them were routs in the Battle of Pengcheng, and the morale of the troops was not high. However, Liu Bang performed very well during this time, he took out the fine tradition when he fell on the grass in Mangdang Mountain, he often went to the army to eat and live with the soldiers, and chatted with everyone at night and did ideological work; During the day, he personally watched the generals drill the troops, and even pointed out the problems of training work to help the generals improve their training level.
Liu Bang also continued to print various propaganda pamphlets, including the legend of the son of the Red Emperor and the son of the White Emperor, including why Liu Bang Xingyi Banner against King Xiang, and later concocted a famous "Ten Crimes of Xiang Yu". This ideological work is super good, which greatly encourages the morale of the army and makes everyone understand that this battle is not for Liu Bang, but for the peace of the world, and for the rebellion! Only when Xiang Yu is defeated can the world usher in real peace, and the soldiers can truly seal their wives and sons......
Of course, a lot of the work in the middle is handled by Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang's writing, scheming and understanding of the people's hearts have reached the level of a national teacher! A master is a master.
However, although Liu Bang was constantly cultivating his internal skills and improving the combat effectiveness and cohesion of his troops, the situation on the peripheral battlefields was not ideal. Except for Han Xin's progress outside the Yellow River, bad news soon came from the battlefield in the south. Long He led an army of 100,000 and attacked Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, for a long time. Unexpectedly, this dragon is not a good type, and after Yingbu betrayed Chu, he was uncertain and secretly guilty, so he was not firm in strategy and committed a taboo.
