Rumors about Bi Shu were not only circulating in Ziling City, but also in the Chu army camp in Huainan, which was also full of rumors about the general Bi Shu, which were shot into the camp by the Qi army with bows and arrows, although these letters were quickly confiscated, but the contents of them were inevitably spread. （_）

These rumors have been able to spread because it has a market.

The reason why these rumors have a market is because the soldiers of the Chu army have complaints about Bi Shu.

The reward and punishment system of the Chu army follows the Qin army, and the soldiers can only rely on their military exploits if they want to be crowned knights, the more military merits, the faster the title is promoted, and the more generous the rewards, this will inevitably make the soldiers extremely belligerent, when the Qin army swallowed the six countries, the belligerent factor has been integrated into their bone marrow, and the current Chu army is not far behind.

Therefore, Bi Shu's long-term avoidance of the war is equivalent to cutting off the promotion path of the soldiers, in this case, if the soldiers have no complaints in their hearts, then there are ghosts.

There are complaints in my heart, and the rumors spread by Qi Jun naturally have a market.

Tie Niu strode into Bi Shu's big tent with two rumor letters that Qi Jun shot in, first waved his hand at Bi Shu, and then said with a solemn expression: "General, two more secret letters have been confiscated. ”

Bi Shu's gaze did not take his eyes off Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand, and said lightly: "Tie Niu, throw it away." ”

Tie Niu frowned, and said with some concern: "General, aren't you worried at all?" ”

"Worried?" Bi Shutou didn't raise his head and said, "This is just a rumor." No one will believe it. ”

Tie Niu said: "But now the rumors have spread throughout the camp, and the soldiers are spreading them." ”

Bi Shu said: "That's because the soldiers have grievances in their hearts, and they are using this to put pressure on General Ben, and Han Xin and Yingbu are also hoping that General Ben will take the initiative to fight." I can't get them done. ”

"Then ......," Iron Bull hesitated, "will it cause a mutiny?" ”

"No, it won't." Bi Shu turned over a page of the war book, shook his head slightly, and said, "If it can be broken down by a few rumors, the Chu army will not be the Chu army, don't worry, don't look at the soldiers who are full of resentment towards me now, but really wait until the start of the big war." They will immediately forget all these unpleasantness, and they will carry out my orders as resolutely as they did at the beginning. ”

"Whoa." Tie Niu retreated with a sigh, but his brows never stretched.

As a pro-military lieutenant of the general, Tie Niu is really worried about Bi Shu. The general's popularity is not very good, because of the battle of Fuli, the relationship between General Huben and the general is a little stiff, and the heavy generals in the army, such as Yu Ziqi, Ziche Division, and Xi Qilie, are also a little estranged from the general, which is not a good thing.

Bi Shu didn't take these things to heart. Still attentively reading the Art of War.

Recently, when reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, Bi Shu vaguely realized a truth, whether the battle of Huainan can finally defeat Han Xin depends on whether he can put his understanding into actual combat. As for avoiding the battle, it is just a means to break the hearts of the enemy's troops. Bi Shu has never had the luxury of expecting to be able to consume his opponent to death just by avoiding war.

Zhao Kuo tried to resurrect him from his death, and finally buried 400,000 Zhao soldiers. But Han Xin is not Zhao Kuo, if Han Xin's 150,000 Qi army plus Yingbu's 100,000 Huainan army are also forced into a desperate situation of running out of food, Han Xin will really stage an adversity counterattack of "putting him to death and resurrecting later", Bi Shu will not give him such a chance.

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent......" Bi Shu muttered, falling into a long period of contemplation.

"King, this is a conspirator." Zhao Yan flicked his sleeves, raised two fingers at Han Xin, and continued, "The rumors on Huainan's side are just to strengthen the resentment in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Chu army, thus forming a kind of psychological pressure on Bi Shu, forcing him to change his decision to avoid the war and instead fight a quick battle with the coalition forces. ”…,

Kui Che, who was sitting at the bottom, said: "I'm afraid it's hard to get your wish." ”

Zhao Yan nodded and said: "Brother Zitong's eyes are like torches, Bi Shu, as a general of Great Chu, has absolute control over the more than 200,000 Chu troops in Huainan, and it is indeed difficult to force Bi Shu to change his decision if he wants to break the military spirit of the Chu army with just a few rumors, but it will be different if there is an external force involved." ”

"External forces?" Han Xin said thoughtfully, "What external force?" ”

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "For example, the suspicion of the King of Chu. ”

"Will Xiang Zhuang be suspicious of Bishu?" Yingbu didn't believe it, "No, definitely not." ”

Kui Che also said: "The so-called rumors stop at the wise, the wisdom of Xiang Zhuang, the king of Chu, is by no means under the king of Han, and it has always been that people are not suspicious and suspicious, how can they deceive him?" ”

"Not really." Zhao Yan smiled and shook his head and said, "The King of Han has great wisdom and trusts the Taiwei Zhou Bo, but when he fought for Liang Land with my king before, didn't he also fall for the discord of the King of Chu and recall Zhou Bo's army back to Wancheng?" ”

Kui Che said: "As far as I know, Zhou Bo's army was not recalled by the King of Han, but withdrawn on his own initiative. ”

Zhao Yan said: "The result is the same, the reason why Zhou Bo took the initiative to withdraw is because he knows that the King of Han will definitely be suspicious, the same reason, as long as there are rumors in Ziling City, it is impossible for Xiang Zhuang not to be suspicious, as a monarch, how can he really fully trust the generals who are in charge of the army?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but glance at Han Xin.

Han Xin was a little unnatural, but Yingbu, Kuaiche, Xue Ou and others suddenly realized, indeed, with such a living example of Han Xin in front, as the monarch, who else dares to trust the commander of the army under his account without reservation? Xiang Zhuang is certainly a good person, and Bi Shu is loyal to him, but what does this mean?

In the end, Zhao Yan said firmly: "As long as Xiang Zhuang is suspicious, Bi Shu can only show his heart by taking the initiative to fight!" ”

Through the flying pigeon, the news of Ebony Cliff soon spread to Xiang Zhuang's army.

Xiang Zhuang hastily read the secret letter, and handed it to Bai Lixian, who was next, but Bai Lixian looked at it carefully, and then shook his head with a smile and said, "This is just Han Xin's discordant plan." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "But I have to admit that this discord plan is very lethal." ”

"That's it." Baili Xian said, "If it weren't for Xuejian to establish the government military system, and from then on, the world's military power would be concentrated in the king's body, and it would be really difficult for the king to really trust Xuejian unreservedly." After saying this, Bai Lixian said again, "Now, this divisive plan is not lethal at all." ”

Indeed, in the state of Chu, which implements the government soldier system, the army is divided into two parts, one is the forbidden army, and the other is the government soldiers, and the forbidden army is needless to say, it is the elite who are absolutely loyal to the monarch.

In this case, the commander of the army does not have his own descendant army, so what can he do to rebel?

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang sneered: "The widow is not Liu Bang, and the government military system is not comparable to the more pawn system, Han Xin wants to use the tricks that the widow used to deal with Liu Bang to deal with the widow, that is wishful thinking, hehe." ”

After saying this, Xiang Zhuang turned back to Qu Bucai and said: "Old Qu, immediately pass a letter to Bi Shu Feige, tell him not to have any scruples, just spend it with Han Xin in Huainan, and the widow will not believe it, with the strong national strength of my Great Chu, it can't consume him as a Qi country that is so poor that he can't open the pot?" Hum. ”

"Whoa!" Qu Bucai waved his head and took the order.

However, after going for a while, Qu Bucai entered the big tent again and reported: "King, Shuxi Jiebao!" "Oh? Submit it quickly! Xiang Zhuang hurriedly took the secret letter from Qu Bucai's hand, and couldn't help but be overjoyed after reading it in a hurry, and turned back to Bailixian and said, "Ziliang, Ziang has completely eliminated the hidden dangers in Shuxi, and the big and small Jinchuan are about to be decided, and the passage for Ran Long to march into Bashu has also been blocked, hehe." ”

Bai Lixian smiled and said, "King, now we don't have any worries." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "That's right, now you can go all out to deal with Liu Bang'er." ”

The feather fan in Bai Lixian's hand shook and suddenly stopped, then turned his head to look at the map hanging on the screen not far away and said, "Great King, the minister suddenly had an idea. ”

"What thoughts?" Xiang Zhuang asked casually.

Bai Lixian got up immediately, walked to the map and said something to Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said in an inexplicable tone: "Ziliang, this is a big game of chess!" If this big game of chess is played well, Liu Bang Lao'er will be completely finished! ”

Bai Lixian smiled slightly and said, "The premise is that the general's side must break the situation first!" ”

"It's not a problem." Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said firmly: "The widow has enough confidence in learning swords, he will definitely be able to defeat Han Xin in this Huainan battle!" ”

Two days later, a fast horse rushed into the Chu army camp on the north bank of Surabaya.

Soon, Tie Niu hurriedly walked into the Chinese army tent in Bishu with a secret letter, and said: "General, the king from Ziling is urgent. ”

Bi Shu hurriedly put down the Art of War in his hand, sat up on his knees, and then stretched out his hands to take the secret letter from Tie Niu's hand, waved his hand to Tie Niu, and said, "Tie Niu, you go out first." ”

"Whoa!" Tie Niu shook, bowed back two steps and turned out of the big tent.

Bi Shu carefully cut the beeswax with a dagger, took out a small paper roll from the small bamboo tube, and then put it on the case and spread it gently, after reading the secret letter carefully, the corners of Bi Shu's mouth straightened a faint smile, Han Xin tried to force him to take the initiative to fight, but it was in vain, but ...... This is an opportunity worth taking advantage of.

At that moment, Bishu stood up and stood in front of the map and pondered for a long time. (To be continued......)
