Xiang Yu led the Chu army across the Zhangshui, and the dust of the battle was rolling all the way, and when he came to a place a few miles away from Julu, he stopped, and then sent a sergeant to inquire about the situation ahead.

At this time, Zhao general Chen Yu came to meet the Chu army, after he met Xiang Yu, he made a detailed report on the situation of the giant deer, and saw that the Chu army was camped in the open air, so he asked strangely: "General, why didn't you see the baggage?" Xiang Yu proudly told Chen Yu about the ruin. Chen Yu was shocked when he heard this: "The general cut off his own way back, this is a taboo for using soldiers!" If you lose, how do you retreat to the south bank? When Zhao Jun heard this, he also began to shout: "Yes, we are old and young, why did the general cut off his way back?" I heard that the Qin army in Hebei has millions of people, if it is defeated, how can it escape for its life? Xiang Yu laughed and said: "Although self-determination of the way back is a taboo in the use of soldiers, there is also a saying in the art of war that 'put oneself to death and then live'." Now only when the way back is cut off, the soldiers are willing to fight to the death. If everyone knew that there was a way out, how could they fight to the death with the Qin army? Right now, there is the powerful Qin army in front, and the mighty flowing Zhangshui in the back, if you want to survive, you can only defeat the Qin army first! If we are defeated by the Qin army, let them throw all our corpses into the Zhangshui, and if the corpses float to the south bank, the souls can return to their homeland. Hahaha! When Zhao Jun heard this, they all felt creepy. Chen Yu asked again: "Even if we fight to the death, why did the general only let the Chu army bring three days of dry food?" Is food also superfluous? Zhao Jun doesn't have much food, what if he runs out? Xiang Yu replied angrily: "When the enemy is defeated, all the grain of the Qin State is ours, are you still afraid that you won't be able to eat?" The Zhao soldiers were all stunned. Xiang Yu shouted angrily at Zhao Jun: "If you fight with me, you have to play with your life!" You are so greedy for life and afraid of death, go back! Xiang Yu was obviously irritated by the nagging Zhao army, and this roar shocked the timid soldiers.

Subsequently, Xiang Yu summoned Yingbu and General Pu and said: "The two pioneers arrived in Hebei ahead of schedule and went to kick the camp of the Qin army, what are the combat effectiveness of the Qin army?" Ying preached and said: "We went to kick the camp, and it was a fluke. When breaking through, Wang Li did not chase after him. Xiang Yu asked the guide to open the map and asked, "Where are the princes' armies camped?" Yingbu pointed to the map and said, "In the northeast of Julu City, it is far away from Wang Li's military camp. However, they all hid far away and did not dare to engage the Qin army. The ridiculous thing is that the armies of Wei and X saw that we were few people, so they went to camp next to the camps of Yan and Qi, for fear that we would not be able to protect them, which is really ridiculous. Xiang Yu laughed and said: "The coalition army is so cowardly, what's the use of having too many people?" ”

Yafu said: "The Qin army is known as a million, how can the coalition army not be timid? Yingbu continued: "Wang Li's army went out of Jingcheng Pass, broke the Zhao army in Dongyuan, beheaded 70,000, and heard that Wang Li kept moving troops from the north after surrounding Julu, so the coalition forces were frightened. Yafu asked again, "Where are the rations of the Great Wall Army stored?" Ying Bu said: "Their food is supplied by Zhang Han. Yafu looked at the map and asked strangely: "Zhang Han is in the south, Wang Li is in the north, how do they transport grain over such a long distance?" Ying said: "Zhang Han was afraid that the princes' army would rob the grain, so he specially built a road to transport grain. The father pondered, "The enemy is building a road to transport grain, and this is a long-term plan. Wang Li and Zhang Han must have expected that the rescue troops from various countries would come from afar, and the food would not be available, so they wanted to use this method to drag down the princes' armies. At present, Zhang Han's army is stationed in Thorn Plain, and the coalition forces are all in Julu, so there is a gap in the southeast. As he spoke, Ya Father pointed to the gap on the map to show Xiang Yu, and then said: "Wang Li must think that the Chu army will fight with Zhang Han first after crossing the river, so he will not guard against the Chu army, and Zhang Han will not dare to take the initiative to come to the battle because he has been defeated by our army many times." Our army should take this opportunity to cross this gap in the southeast to attack the Great Wall Army. If the siege of Julu can be lifted, our army will fight against the city, and Zhang Han will lose his fighting spirit. ”

Xiang Yu said: "Ya Father's analysis is correct. Chen Ping said: "Although Wang Li would not have thought that our army would attack him directly, but all the princes came to the rescue of Zhao State, how could Wang Li not be prepared at all." Be prepared, and the winner will be half of the winner! The key now is to find a way to confuse the enemy and make them defenseless, and then attack again, and the chances of victory are very good. Yafu thought about it and felt that Chen Ping's analysis was very reasonable, so he said: "If you want the enemy's internal chaos, you must first cut off its food channel!" At this time, Yingbu and Pu General took the initiative to ask: "The two of us are familiar with the path of Hebei, if we go to cut off the grain route of the Qin army, we will definitely succeed." Xiang Yu was overjoyed and said: "If the grain road is cut off, the Great Wall Army will definitely be chaotic, I will personally attack them, and I must capture Wang Li alive!" Xiang Yu said, his eyes were full of flames of revenge, because he knew that Wang Li was the grandson of Wang Qian, Wang Jian was the enemy who killed his grandfather and father, and now he could finally avenge his ancestors, how could he not be excited in his heart.

Ying and Pu accepted the task and set off at that time, they came to the vicinity of Yongdao and hid the soldiers and horses first. The two discussed for a while, and General Pu said to Ying: "Tonight, our army will change to the banner of the Qin army, and panicked that it is a patrol soldier sent by Zhang Han, and then we can get close to Yongdao." Ying Bu said: "We are southerners, with different accents, and the enemy will know the truth as soon as he hears it, so we should arrest a few people and let them shout, so that the enemy will not suspect it." So they sent people around to arrest them, but when the people heard that there was going to be a war, they fled so much that they could not find a single figure. Yingbu had no choice but to find another way, so they prepared many long rods with hooks. After dark, the torches on the road are bright, and the surroundings are very bright. Yingbu asked General Pu to stand by on the spot, and he led dozens of soldiers to lurk in front of Yongdao. At this time, they found that the Qin army was napping on the wall, so they were ready to arrest a few Qin soldiers. There was not much time, and I saw a soldier standing by the female wall urinating. Ingbu saw an opportunity to hook the soldier down the city with a long pole, and then mentioned the hiding place and threatened him to speak. The soldier was so frightened that he had to say yes.

After everyone was ready, Ying and Pu led the Chu army to light more than a dozen torches, and they came to Yongdao generously. When Qin Jun saw it, he shouted loudly: "Where are you soldiers and horses?" Stop and talk! "The road was already full of rows of soldiers waiting to be shot. Yingbu ordered the Qin soldiers to shout: "I was sent by General Zhang to inspect, have you found the enemy?" As soon as the Qin army on the wall heard that it was his own people, he replied: "No enemy was found." Yingbu took advantage of the shouting to urgently order the crossbowmen of the Chu army to approach quickly. When the Chu army came to the bottom of the road, they shot arrows fiercely at the Qin army above. The archers of the Qin army were defenseless, and they all fell to the ground one after another. Yingbu led the sergeant to hook the women's wall with a long hook and climbed up with all his might.

When the Qin army saw the Chu army sneaking up on Yongdao, they stepped forward together to besiege it. Yingbu rose up and cut down a large piece of the Qin army. At this time, the Chu army that climbed into Yongdao entered the interior under the leadership of Yingbu. At this time, the grain cart of the Qin army happened to pass by, and the Chu army grabbed grain at both ends, and broke a gap in the Yongdao, so he pushed the grain cart and quickly left the Yongdao.

At this time, a group of Qin troops suddenly arrived from the south, it was Zhang Han's younger brother Zhang Ping, who was specially responsible for protecting Yongdao, and when he heard that someone was robbing grain, he rushed to fight. General Pu said to Ying: "You protect the grain cart and go quickly, and I will resist the pursuers." Yingbu told the sergeants to get into the cart and go quickly. General Pu led the Chu army to meet Zhang Ping head-on, and the two of them shook their spirits, fought forward, and fought together. Later, the Qin army became more and more encircled, and General Pu fell into the encirclement of the enemy. At the critical juncture, Yingbu came back to respond, and the two fought together to get out of the encirclement.

Seeing that the enemy was not chasing, Ying and Pu escorted the intercepted grain cart to the Chu camp to hand over the order, and told Xiang Yu about the battle. Xiang Yu was very happy, so he recorded the achievements of the two as the first credit. Yafu said: "Although the grain interception was successful this time, Zhang Ping will definitely rush to repair the Yongdao, and then continue to transport grain." We have to find a way to completely destroy the corridors so that the enemy will never be able to eat food. Ying Bu said: "Yongdao is very strong, and there are shooters on it, not to mention that after Zhang Ping suffered losses this time, he will definitely add troops to guard it, and it may not be easy to get close to it again." Chen Ping suggested, "I have a way to destroy it completely." Xiang Yu asked what the solution was. Chen Ping said: "You have to destroy it by crashing it and completely paralyze Yongdao." But it would take a dozen tall crash cars to build. Xiang Yu wanted to give this task to Yingbu and Pu General.

When Yingbu heard this, he was worried, and said: "General, both of us are rough people, and there is no problem in going into battle to kill the enemy, but if we make any collisions, we can't make them." Before the words fell, I saw a person standing up from the side and saying: "I know how to build this kind of crash, please give me this task!" Xiang Yu looked back and saw that it was Han Xin, so he said very unhappily: "Fighting with soldiers is a major matter of the country, do you dare to speak outrageously?" Han Xin replied loudly: "If you can't make a crash, please punish the general!" Xiang Yu said angrily: "I personally led the army, broke the kettle and sank the boat to fight the Qin army, now the key to success or failure is whether you can cut off the grain road, to cut off the grain road, you have to create a crash, and you accepted this important task so rashly, if you miss a big thing, what is the use of killing you?" So he gave the order left and right, and pushed Han Xin out of the camp and beheaded him.

Fan Yafu hurriedly dissuaded: "Since the general thinks that Han Xin can't build a car, don't use him, why kill him?" Xiang Yu said: "Success or failure is in this move, how can I let a person who drilled through the crotch of his pants build a car?" Kill him first to warn those who treat war as child's play! Yafu said: "Killing a Han Xin will make the people who come to join the army feel cold, Han Xin can't kill it!" Xiang Yu saw his father pleading, so he didn't kill Han Xin. Yafu took the initiative to take on the task of causing the crash. It turned out that after Han Xin came to the army, there were also some children from Huaiyin, and when they heard that Han Xin was also in the army, they told some things that happened in Huaiyin City before. In this way, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the matter of Han Xin's crotch drilling naturally reached Xiang Yu's ears. Xiang Yu heard that Han Xin had been humiliated by his crotch, and thought that he was a coward, and he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, and now that Han Xin had to accept such an important task, he was naturally annoyed.

Yafu walked out of Xiang Yu's camp, immediately selected 500 skilled craftsmen, and secretly found Han Xin and said: "War is a major event of the country. The general is afraid that you will make a mistake, so he wants to kill you, please don't resent. Han Xin thanked him again and again: "How dare I resent the general? I just want to make some contributions, but I don't want to annoy him. Yafu said: "Qin and Chu are about to start a big war in Julu, and destroying the grain route of the Qin army first is related to the overall situation. You said you could crash cars, please draw a drawing for me to see. If it's really in line with the rules, I'll entrust you to do it. Han Xin thought that Fan Zeng was the first strategist, and if his talent was discovered by him, he would definitely be the first to become a leader, so he drew a drawing on the spot, and marked the size and size of each part, and then showed it to Yafu. When the father saw that it was indeed a standard pattern, he was very pleased and asked where he had learned this technique. Han Xin replied: "I have liked to study military books since I was a child, and I have read all military books, so I know how to make a crash. His father was very pleased, and made him an overseer, and he cut down and made wood all night.

That night, Xiang Yu sent someone to ask Yafu to discuss the plan to attack Qin. Yafu instructed Han Xin to supervise the collision and came to Xiang Yu's camp by himself. Ji Bu and Zhong Liwu looked at the map and said, "The outskirts of Julu City are Wang Li's military camp, and the terrain here is very open, which is conducive to the battle of the large army. Wang Li is the main force of the Qin army, and only by defeating him first can the siege of the giant deer be lifted. Chen Ping said: "But we are the closest to Zhang Han's army, what if we attack Wang Li first and Zhang Han attacks from behind?" Xiang Yu said with confidence: "Fight with Zhang Han first, let him be afraid and dare not fight, and then attack the Great Wall Army." Chen Ping said: "If Zhang Han knows the intentions of our army, and he leads the whole army to attack, I am afraid that he will not be able to resist." Yafu finally added: "I can let Chen Yu contact all the troops who came to rescue Zhao, and assemble in Thorn Yuan early tomorrow morning, so that Zhang Han understands that we are going to fight him in a decisive battle." Seeing this, Zhang Han will not dare to fight easily, and the general can go to relieve the siege of the giant deer! Xiang Yu listened to his father's analysis, and immediately sent someone to inform Chen Yu, asking him to contact the princes' army overnight, and all of them will leave for Thorn Plains early tomorrow morning.
