Han Xin was limping and pacing in the big tent with his hands behind his back.

The eyes of Yingbu, Han Yan, Zhao Yan, Kuaiche, Xue Ou and others followed Han Xin's figure, and then turned around, everyone's faces looked a little anxious, and the atmosphere in the big tent was also very solemn.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Cheng Hei, the general of the Qi army, had already strode in.

Han Xin stopped, and Yingbu couldn't wait to ask, "General Cheng, how is it?" ”

Cheng Hei arched his hand at Han Xin and Yingbu, shook his head and said: "No, the Surabaya River is full of boats of the Chu Army's naval divisions, no matter day or night, there are fleets patrolling, not to mention building pontoon bridges, it is impossible to swim across." ”

Han Xin's brows tightened in an instant, Yingbu, Han Qi, Zhao Yan, Kuaiche and others were also full of disappointment, Surabaya was blocked by the Chu army's water division, and the coalition army's division of troops to intercept the Chu army's grain route became a fantasy, the Chu army's grain route was unimpeded, and the military food could be continuously transported from the rear, but the coalition army was a little unable to support it.

After being silent for a long time, Han Xin asked Han Yu, "Prince, how much food is there in the army?" ”

Han Qi knelt down and sat up, and replied to Han Xin: "Father, there are still 50,000 stones of corn in the army, which can support about ten days, and in addition, the minister of the country sent a flying horse to report, and recently levied 100,000 stones of military rations, which can be relieved to Huainan in a few days, but the minister said in the letter that after the 100,000 stones of grain are released, there will be no more grain to be levied in the country." ”

Han Xin sighed: "In other words, there is only one month left. ”

Kui Che sighed and said gloomily: "After a month, what can I do? ”

"yes, what about a month from now?" Ying Bu was stunned when he heard this, and asked Han Xindao, "King Qi, should you leave the widowed Huainan Kingdom alone, right?" ”

Han Qi said angrily: "You refuse to give out food." Do you want my Daqi soldiers to starve to death in Huainan? ”

"Widow, widow......" Yingbu gritted his teeth. Said suddenly. "King Qi, the widow can support a batch of rice, but it's not a lot, it's almost 20,000 stones." It's not that Britain is hiding secrets. It's that he really can't get more food, these years. It's a good Huainan to be made miserable by Zhu Jian, and the national strength is not good.

Han Xin shook his hand and said indifferently: "If your lips die, your teeth will be cold." If the kingdom of Huainan is destroyed. The state of Qi is also in danger, so the widows will never retreat easily, if the Chu army still refuses to fight, then it will attack! In fact, Han Xin still hasn't said a word, he has less than three months left to live, and if he can't defeat Bishu this time. The country of Qi will definitely be over.

"Father......" Han Xin was anxious when he heard this, but when he wanted to be dissuaded, he was stopped by Han Xin.

Zhao Yan, who had been silent, suddenly said, "King." The minister has a plan or can force Bi Shu to fight! ”

"Oh, Zijin said quickly, Ji will be released?" Han Xin's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and the eyes of Yingbu, Kuaiche, Han Qi, Xue Ou and others also focused on Zhao Yan in an instant.

Zhao Yan said: "King, we can spread rumors!" ”

"Rumors? What rumors? Han Xin was at a loss when he heard this, but Kuaiche's eyes lit up.

When it comes to arranging troops and winning on the battlefield, no one in the world can match Han Xin, but when it comes to conspiracies and tricks, Han Xin is far inferior to Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Zhao Yan These strategists, Han Xin didn't know the power of this rumor, but Kuaiche came back to his senses, if the rumor is used well, sometimes it can top 100,000 male soldiers!

Since Bi Shu and Xiang Zhuang successively led the army to the battle, Ziling City has fallen into a strange restlessness, the students of Taixue no longer concentrate on class, the noblewomen no longer discuss each other's clothing, the street vendors have been asking around all day long, most of the officials of the government are in a hurry, and even the nobles have become absent-minded.

Whenever a fast horse gallops through the street, it will attract everyone's side attention. ..., in Ziling City, more than 500,000 people are all looking forward to the good news ahead.

However, the good news did not come, and rumors about the general's Bishu spread throughout Ziling City overnight.

It is rumored that the reason why Bi Shu did not move in Huainan was because he was waiting for an opportunity, just waiting for Xiang Zhuang's army to defeat Nanyang, Bi Shu would return to Jiangdong and take the opportunity to usurp the throne of the king of Chu!

No one knows where these rumors came from in the first place, anyway, in the past two days, the streets and alleys of Ziling City have been discussing this matter.

"Old Bi, let me tell you, this time your Bi family is really going to have a king."

It was Liu Ji's early buddy who spoke, surnamed Niu, with a towel on his back, and a red face, obviously living a good life, at least three meals a day with enough oil and water, this will, the guy surnamed Niu was pretending to be chatting mysteriously with a restaurant guy who got up early to burn the stove next door to him, and the restaurant guy was surnamed Bi.

"Old cow, you just pull it, pull it hard." The man surnamed Bi quickly poured five coins and a pound of charcoal into the stove, pressed a handful of loose coat hair on the charcoal, and then ignited the fire twist and began to make a fire, and said without looking back, "The general is loyal to the king, how could he have the intention of usurping the throne?" ”

"Don't believe it, what man in this world is not ambitious?" The guy surnamed Niu swears authentically.

"Well, I don't have the time to grind my teeth with you." After the guy surnamed Bi finished lighting the fire, he turned around and wanted to leave, "Later, I have to go to the eastern suburbs fish market to buy goods, and I won't be able to buy fresh sea bass if I go late." ”

"Hey, don't, don't, don't." The guy surnamed Niu hurriedly grabbed the guy surnamed Bi, and said in a low voice, "Old Bi, don't you have a distant clan brother who is a personal soldier under the general's account?" If this general becomes the king, no matter how bad your distant brother is, he should be a county lieutenant, a county lieutenant or something, right? When the time comes, don't forget to help our old cow. ”

The guy surnamed Bi squinted at the guy surnamed Niu, and said coldly: "You, sooner or later, you will die on your mouth." ”

After that, the guy surnamed Bi went straight away, and the guy surnamed Niu touched his mouth and muttered, "My mouth? What's wrong with my mouth? It's nice to be able to eat and drink? ”

Unbeknownst to the two men, their conversation was overheard by a mother and son in a carriage next to them.

A milky voice asked, "Mother, will Daddy really usurp the throne as they say?" ”

"Wen'er is not allowed to talk nonsense." A soft voice immediately sounded, "The king has the grace of knowing your father, and your father is a man who stands up to the sky, how can he have the idea of usurping the throne." ”

"But......" said a milky voice, "what do they say?" ”

"That's a rumor." The soft voice was suddenly full of worry, "Someone wants to hurt your father." ”

"Mother, then let's go to Huainan." The milky voice said, "Let's go and help Daddy fight the bad guys, okay?" ”

While the mother and son were talking, a beautiful young woman from Huaxin came to the carriage and said through the curtain: "Miss, Liu Ji's soybean milk is also sold out, and the little maid will go to Cao Ji in front to have a look." "Since Xiang Zhuang invented tofu, soy milk has quickly become popular, and now it has become the most popular breakfast in Chudi.

"Forget Xiaoqing, don't eat it." A soft voice in the carriage said, "Let's go home." ”

"Ah, not eating?" The young woman Huaxin was obviously a little stunned, but she still nodded, twisted her waist and sat in the wheel, and said to the old man who was driving the car, "Fu Bo, go home." ”

Rumors spread in the streets and alleys, and the crown prince Xiang Zheng, who stayed in Ziling Prison State, was also alarmed.

The matter is big, Xiang Zheng did not dare to act arbitrarily, and he did not dare to take it lightly, so he immediately sent someone to summon Yin Xianghe and Tingwei Xiang into the palace overnight to ask for advice. ..., in the study, Xiang He said indifferently: "Prince, this is just a rumor, don't pay attention to it." ”

"The minister thought that there was no wind and no waves, and the general had garrisoned Huainan for more than a month, but he refused to fight with the Qi army and the Huainan army, and the situation was indeed a bit abnormal." Xiang Qi didn't mean to refute, let alone challenge his authority, in fact, Xiang Qi was able to become the court lieutenant in charge of judicial trials, and he still recommended Xiang Qi.

Xiang Qi just wanted to state his views to Xiang Zheng and Xiang He, nothing more.

In fact, the rumors spread in the streets and alleys are not unfounded, Bi Shu has been marching into Huainan for almost two months, except for a victory in Fuli at the beginning, there has been no achievement since then, which cannot help but make people doubt his intentions, is he really waiting for Xiang Zhuang to be defeated, and then take the opportunity to return to Jiangdong and usurp the throne?

"It can't be, the general is not like that." Xiang said categorically.

Xiang Zhi didn't say anything more, and it would really challenge Xiang He's authority.

Xiang Zheng is young after all, and he obviously lacks experience in dealing with this kind of national affairs, and he has no confidence, so he said with some worry at the moment: "Ling Yin, I have a big matter, is it to pass the book to Nanyang Feige, and make a decision to my father?" ”

"Prince, there's no need for that." Xiang He waved his hand and said categorically, "You are the prince of the prison country, you can handle this kind of thing, you don't have to report it to the king, you don't have to disturb his mind." After saying this, Xiang He added, "Also, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, as long as the rumor-mongers are caught, the rumors will be self-defeating." ”

Xiang Zheng said helplessly: "Okay, this matter will be taken care of by the Tingwei Mansion." ”

"Whoa!" Xiang Qi waved his hand and took the order.

There is an inconspicuous courtyard in the east of Ziling City, and no one knows that this small courtyard is the headquarters of Ebony Cliff.

In the basement of the small courtyard, a man in black knelt down on one knee and reported to the thin black shadow standing in front of the north wall with his back to the hall: "Commander, the ins and outs of the matter have been investigated, but the people who spread the rumors have already run away!" ”

The thin black shadow nodded imperceptibly, and said, "Although it is a rumor, you still have to report it to the Great Commander." ”

"Whoa!" The black shadow kneeling on the ground answered, and said, "Commander, I heard that the prince is also anxious because of this matter, do you want to report the results of our thorough investigation to him?" ”

"Not necessarily!" The thin black shadow Huo Ran raised his hand and said coldly, "We Ebony Cliff are only responsible for the monarch, when the crown prince becomes the monarch, it is not too late to report to him." ”
