Chapter 406: No Food

Marshal Han Daoming attacked the heart, and Fan Yafu told Chen Ping the reason for his rebellion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The order to withdraw soon spread throughout the Chu army, and the sergeants of the Chu army did not hesitate to act according to the order after receiving the order.

When the Chu army slowly withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner, and then slowly left the battlefield, Lu Juan's army immediately chose to move closer to Han Xin's army. And Han Shin also gave up the pursuit.

"Marshal! It's late to come down! I hope the marshal will not blame. ”

Lu Xuan's tone at this time was very kind, which was completely different from when he came to divide the troops before. And Han Xin was also shocked by the change in his attitude after listening to Lu Xuan's words.

"Whatever General Lu said, if it weren't for the general's timely arrival, Fan Zeng would not have retreated easily. Han Xin still has to thank the general. ”

Both of them are very polite at the moment, but it always feels too contrived. While they were talking, Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, had already come to the front of the army with his guards.

When Lu Juan saw Zhang Er, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. And when he took a closer look at the guards with Zhang Er, he was surprised to find that a huge branch was tied to the tail of each of their horses.

"King Zhao, what are you doing here? Why does a sergeant's mount have to be tied to the back of a branch? Is there anything that can't be done? ”

After Zhang Er saw Lu Juan saluting to him, he immediately returned the salute. And when he heard the other party's questioning, he replied with a smile on his face: "These are all Marshal Han's ideas." The king did not know the reason. In my opinion, it is better for the marshal to solve our doubts! ”

Knowing that everything was arranged by Han Xin, Lu Juan became even more curious. At this time, he wanted to know how Han Xin faced the Chu army before he felt it.

"Marshal Han, in the future, I saw that you were fighting fiercely with the Chu army, and although the number was small, it was not inferior. Although I know that the marshal is resourceful, I have also heard that most of the marshal's troops are surrendered. In the eyes of the last general, this battle can be described as a huge disparity in strength, I don't know what method you use? The Chu army that won the battle?! ”

Lu Xuan's question was completely heartfelt. He thought that Han Xin would stick to help, but he never expected that the other party would take the initiative to attack! Although this attack surprised him, what was even more surprising was that the other party could still fight hard against the Chu army and still occupy the top.....

After Han Xin saw that Lu Juan and Zhang Er both looked anxious and curious, he first proposed to prepare to return to the army. On the way back to the army, he slowly explained: "King Zhao, General Lu!" You two may have thought our victory was a little unbelievable. But it seems to me that all this is very commonplace. ”

Hearing Han Xin's words, Lu Juan and Zhang Er were both a little puzzled. Without waiting for them to ask in detail, Han Xin continued: "The art of war is cloudy: go to the army to fight and plan, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city!" It's a pity that I can't be diplomatic, so I can only work on strategy. Since ancient times, those who use soldiers have liked sharp weapons and sharp soldiers, and they attach importance to the morale before the war, because in this way, they can attack the city and break the fortress, and they will be invincible! But it is believed that no matter what the sergeant is, and whether he has a sharp weapon in his hand, he should focus on the heart! Siege the city! ”

Han Xin's remarks made Lu Xuan's eyes light up, and Zhang Er was even more focused at this time.

"I know that the Zhao army has newly surrendered, and there must be a suspicion of defection before the battle. But I had already ordered people to spread the news in advance that the Chu army would slaughter the city and slaughter the army, so they had to be forced to fight. That Fan Zeng thought that I only had 100,000 soldiers, so I calculated and ordered the people in the city to change into military uniforms, and then pretend to be sergeants and stand behind the military formation. They can't fight, but they can confuse each other's eyes. When the two armies fought, I asked King Zhao to lead the soldiers to raise dust, and when Fan Zeng saw this, he must have thought that I was using a suspicious tactic. And I used this psychology to undermine his confidence. When all the Chu army thought that I had no reinforcements at all, I let the real soldiers who had already been ambushed into the battle, and after doing so twice, the Chu army would begin to panic. However, I also considered that Fan Zeng would not be easily shaken, so I arranged the sergeants of the third formation. ”

Hearing that Han Xin said so much in one breath, Zhang Er only felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. But when Lu Juan heard this, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot, because he had gradually understood some truths.

"In the third formation, I asked the sergeant to fight out in the Qin army's uniform. In order to increase the fear of the Chu army. And when Fan Zeng saw the appearance of the Qin army, he would only think that it was the King of Qin at the border pass who came to help, and this could also make him feel tricky, and at the same time destroy his confidence to a large extent. However, these methods can only suppress the strength of the Chu army to the maximum extent in the end, so that we can fight them, and what really forced Fan Zeng to decide to withdraw was the arrival of General Lu. It can be said that your appearance has brought the battle to a climax, and at the same time, it has also made Fan Zeng completely give up the heart of continuing to fight with both sides! ”

Lu Juan heard that Han Xin took credit for himself, and hurriedly signaled his shame. And Zhang Er was very excited at the moment, because they successfully repelled the Chu army!

-------

After the Chu army retreated, there was a low atmosphere in the entire army. And the most resentful and sad among them is Zhong Liwu, because he has lost two battles in a row!

Fan Zeng was a little annoyed when he saw Zhong Lifu, and immediately began to comfort him. And the words he said really made Zhong Liwu forget the haze brought by failure.

"Zhong Lifu! You don't have to be discouraged, and you don't have to mind. All of this is just the beginning. In the future, I will definitely give you a chance to compare you with Han Xin! ”

Hearing Fan Zeng's words, Zhong Liwu was very surprised. Although he didn't know what Fan Zeng wanted, he believed that the other party would definitely be able to create opportunities.

The old man originally thought that if he used Lu Xuan's plan, he would no longer need to make any effort to provoke Liu Bang and Han Xin. But now that Lu Juan has rebelled, the old man can only continue to use the original plan. Fortunately, Yu'er did not destroy Sanqi this time, otherwise this method of discord would be really difficult to implement! ”

Shocked to hear that Fan Zeng wanted to separate Liu Bang and Han Xin, Zhong Li was immediately stunned. After Fan Zeng saw his expression, he immediately said with a smile: "Zhong Liwu, you don't need to be surprised, if the old man doesn't separate them, how can he isolate Han Xin, and then Han Xin only has Liu Bang as a backing, you will naturally have the opportunity to confront him head-on!" ”

Knowing Fan Zeng's true plan and purpose, Zhong Liwu nodded slightly. Although he didn't know exactly how Fan Zeng was going to carry out the discord, he believed in the strategy and ability of the military advisor......

After Fan Zeng saw that Zhong Liwu had regained some momentum, he immediately asked him to find a way to boost the morale of the sergeant. And when Zhong Liwu drove his horse into the army, Fan Zeng immediately summoned Zhou Yi, and at the same time ordered in a deep voice: "Zhou Yi, you go to Qi Country quickly, and then act according to my plan." Also, you originally arranged for people to infiltrate Han Xin's army, and you did it as usual! There must be no omissions in this plan, otherwise our plan to separate Liu Bang and Han Xin will be wasted. ”

After listening to Fan Zeng's instructions, Zhou Yi hurriedly agreed and left. And when Zhou Yi left the army, Fan Zeng began to close his eyes again, hoping that he could have more energy!

A few days later, the Chu army finally returned to the territory of Western Chu. At this time, Xiang Yu was already waiting for Fan Zeng there.

Seeing the army coming slowly, Xiang Yu greeted him casually. After seeing Fan Zeng, he asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?" It's Yu'er's incompetence, I want you to go out in person....."

When Fan Zeng saw Xiang Yu coming, he was very excited. After his mind calmed down a little, he said to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er! This battle was the enemy's underestimation. But fortunately, our military strength has not been compromised! And I also learned about Han Xin's strength. I believe that in the future battle, it will definitely help! At this moment, you should still encourage the sergeants, only in this way can they get out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible, and at the same time show your generosity! ”

Hearing Fan Zeng's words, Xiang Yu hurriedly said yes. But he didn't act at this time, and his expression seemed slightly angry, as if there was something unspeakable.

When Fan Zeng saw Xiang Yu's expression, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. After observing for a while, he immediately frowned and asked, "Yu'er, what happened?!" Do you have something to hide from your father?! ”

Hearing Fan Zeng's question, Xiang Yu immediately understood that the other party had seen his abnormality. After making sure that he could no longer hide it, he had to say angrily: "Father, during the time you went on the expedition, Chen Ping he... He defected ......"

Hearing that Chen Ping had defected, Fan Zeng was stunned. But soon he returned to normal, as if he had expected such a day.

"Then why did Chen Ping defect?! And where did you flee to?? ”

Fan Zeng's question was extremely concise, and Xiang Yu replied hatefully after listening to it: "After you set out on the expedition, I will send someone to order Chen Ping to prepare grain and grass!" And the purpose is to prepare for another expedition to Korea after returning. Who knew that Chen Ping actually replied that there was no food for the expedition in China! In a fit of rage, I gave him another order to prepare, and I said that if I could not prepare him, I would behead him! As a result, after he received the military order, he immediately defected with his family and servants! And now the whereabouts are unknown."

After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he looked very puzzled and angry. But Fan Zeng had already understood the reason for the matter at this time, and then said helplessly: "Yu'er, that Chen Ping didn't lie, you may not know that today's Xichu really doesn't have enough military food for us to go on the expedition......"

Fan Zeng's words made Xiang Yu feel unbelievable, he couldn't believe that his great Xichu would actually have no military rations for the expedition! This not only indicates that he will not be able to play again, but also indicates that he will have a difficult situation even defending.

Seeing that Xiang Yu seemed unable to accept this fact, Fan Zeng immediately signaled him to keep quiet. After Xiang Yu came back to his senses a little, Fan Zeng whispered to him: "Yu'er, you don't have to doubt it. What the old man said is true, but you don't have to worry, because soon we will get the rations! (To be continued.) )
