After seeing Xiang Yu striding out of the lobby, Xiang Tao, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly spoke: "No, the Qin people may not divide their troops to attack Xue County, Sishui County and Jiujiang County as we thought. I'm afraid they will gather together."

With troops in one place, take advantage of

When our army is dispersed to defend the three counties, they attack one of them. In this way, they can not only take the land they want to gain by relying on their superiority in military strength, but also kill all the soldiers we sent to defend the city.

Our Chu army suffered heavy losses."

When Fan Zeng heard this, he was also moved in his heart and asked quickly: "How did you come up with this? Although it is completely different from what I just said, it still makes some sense."

Xiang Ta said: "There is a saying in the military book: Use it imaginatively but make it real, use it to show that it can't be used, and use it to show that it is not useful. Seeing that the Qin people used a trick to seize three of our counties this time, plus we failed to attack Qin last time, we will

It can be seen that there are quite a few people in Qin who are good at resourcefulness. I am afraid they will not be like this.

Simply divide your troops into three groups so that we can be prepared." Actually, there is one more thing Xiang Yu did not mention, just to save everyone's face, that is, Xiang Yu divided his troops into three groups and was defeated in Qin.

If you lose, the people of Qin will not make the same mistake again.

But even if he didn't say it, Fan Zeng understood it. But although he had begun to lean towards Xiang's judgment, there was still one thing he hadn't figured out, so he asked: "If you follow what you said, the Qin soldiers will regroup."

, then where should we deploy heavy troops? Now that Chen, Dang and Dong counties are all lost, they can send troops to our Xue, Sishui and Jiujiang counties from three sides."

"If my prediction is correct, the Qin people will definitely send troops from Dongjun to attack our Xuejun this time. In addition to the reason that Xuejun is the easiest to attack among the three counties, there is another reason that they attacked in the past few days.

From the routes taken by the three counties, it can be seen that the Qin people fought from the north to the south, and this time it will not change.

Therefore, if the overlord wants to fight the Qin people, he must bring his troops to Xue Commandery. However, the city of Xue Commandery is too difficult to defend. If you ask me to suggest, it is best to decisively abandon Xue Commandery and bring all the troops and horses to Surabaya, where

With the fortifications built by Liu Bang on that day and the defensive measures set up by Qin and us before, we may be able to defeat the Qin army."

Fan Zeng glanced at Xiang him appreciatively. As he continued to fight, his mind became clearer and clearer, even surpassing his own grasp of the situation. But then Fan Zeng sighed and said: "You

The analysis is very reasonable. Your idea is also a way to defeat the Qin people, but will the overlord listen to you? Today

What the Overlord was thinking about was how to defeat the invading Qin army in the Chu State, so as to vent his hatred for the defeat of the Qin State. Moreover, this time the Qin people captured three counties in a row, so the anger in the Overlord's heart was afraid.

It has reached its highest point. If we ask him to abandon Xue County and fight the Qin people in Surabaya, will he listen? Will he be willing to give up a city? "

These words were the key. After Xiang thought for a long time, he had to say: "Now I can only try my best and hope that the overlord can listen to our strategy. Otherwise, if the troops are really divided into three groups, I am afraid that Qin will be defeated."

Man's plan is to lose three cities in a row." Before he could finish his words, he heard a shout that echoed through the sky from outside: "Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die! Although Chu has three households, if Qin is defeated, Chu will definitely die!"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and couldn't help but admire Xiang Yu's trust in the army. Although the Chu State was now in danger, no one could hear a trace of timidity in the loud shouts of these soldiers.

Xiang Ta thought for a while and then said: "Since the idea came from me, let me go to see the Overlord. I hope I can convince him, so that our great Chu can still compete with the Qin people."

Without delay, he immediately walked to the military field.

When Xiang Tao came there, he saw Xiang Yu wearing armor and riding on a Wuzui horse, with a shining sword in his hand and speaking to the soldiers below: "...So if we want to protect our relatives, we

We must fight to the death with the Qin people. What the Qin people rely on is nothing more than strength in numbers and some conspiracies. As long as we can expose these conspiracies, all the Qin army's 200,000 troops will definitely die here.

No one will be left alive." At this point, Xiang Yu paused, and then continued in a high-pitched voice, "Don't forget the saying that has been passed down in our Chu land: 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die'!"

"Although Chu has three households, Qin must be destroyed by Chu! Although Chu has three households, Qin must be destroyed by Chu!" The soldiers were still shouting so loudly. Xiang Yu felt that their morale was getting higher with each shout. At this time, Xiang Yu had already seen

When he arrived, he came over, so he said to the soldiers in front of him: "You all go back and prepare. Tomorrow the Japanese Overlord will take you to kill the Qin army completely!"

After the soldiers dispersed, Xiang Ta came to Xiang Yu and said: "Overlord, how do you plan to fight Qin this time?"

Xiang Yu said: "Since they dare to attack our Chu land in three groups, I will also divide them into three groups. It is better for Long Qie, you, Xiang Zhuang and I to lead the troops to resist the enemy. Now in my Chu land, the geographical advantage belongs to us.

Yes, the Qin army will definitely be defeated by then."

"The Overlord must not divide his troops. Our Chu State originally has much fewer troops than the Qin Army. If we divide our troops again, I am afraid that the three counties will not be able to defend it." Xiang Ta said hurriedly.

Xiang Yu glanced sideways at him: "What do you mean by this? Do you think our army is no match for the Qin people?"

"No, Overlord, please listen to me..." Xiang Ta said and expressed all the worries of himself and Fan Zeng, "...so in my opinion, we must not divide our troops, otherwise we will play into the hands of the Qin people."

Xiang Yu frowned and thought for a moment and said: "What do you think the Qin people are attacking our three counties this time just to give us the illusion that they will divide their forces into three groups? This is not impossible."

"Yes, Overlord, although we received the news that the three counties were defeated by the Qin people at the same time, the sequence is still there. And from the battle report, several Qin troops rushed after capturing a city.

Went to the next city." Xiang said.

Xiang Yu squinted at the long sword in his hand, and after a long while he said: "Given the treachery of the Qin people, it is somewhat possible. So what should we do? If they only attack one side, we can't just watch the others.

Let the two cities be destroyed."

It seemed that Xiang Yu was still thinking about the three cities, so Xiang Ta carefully expressed his judgment and response. When Xiang Ta suggested that he abandon Xue County and stay in Surabaya, Xiang Yu shook his head:

"Although Xue County is small, it is also the land of our Chu State. We must not let the Qin people get it easily. What's more, the Qin people may not be what you said. Maybe they will attack Jiujiang first. Do you want to give up a large county like Jiujiang?

To the Qin people?"

Xiang Ta knew that the key point was here, so he asked: "In the heart of the overlord, which city of Chu is more important or the soldiers of Chu? Is the temporary gain or loss more important or the overall victory or defeat?"

Xiang Yu said without thinking: "If the city is gone, it can be retaken, but if the soldiers die, they cannot be resurrected. Of course, the lives of the soldiers are more important. Of course, a temporary defeat has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as you win in the end, everything you lose will be lost."

We can get it back, so of course the overall victory is important.”

Xiang Ta smiled and said: "In this case, why does the Overlord only focus on the gains and losses of the few cities in front of him? If we win this battle, we can still easily take back the cities taken by the Qin people, and if

The troops are divided into three groups, and if they are attacked by the combined forces of the Qin army, I am afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed there."

Xiang Yu was suddenly shocked when he heard this. He had never considered the problem from this perspective. Now that he thought about it, what he said was right. Even if he made a wrong judgment, the loss would only be one or two cities. But if he was wrong,

, that would be the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. The state of Chu now

He could no longer afford to lose soldiers like this, so Xiang Yu finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to your opinion and rush to Surabaya with the troops tomorrow, while you stay here and guard Kuaiji with Mr. Fan.

Don’t let those with ulterior motives take advantage of this.”

Seeing that Xiang Yu was finally convinced by him, Xiang Ta breathed a sigh of relief and casually agreed to Xiang Yu's arrangement. But as soon as he said the word "Hey", he was shocked to find something was wrong. This time Xiang Yu actually

If he didn't plan to bring himself and Fan Zeng with him, who would advise him before the two armies? But since he had already accepted the order, he naturally couldn't go back on his words, and could only think about how to make Xiang Yu change his mind.

In fact, Xiang Yu arranged this for a reason. Although he agreed to go to Surabaya, he did not intend to stay in the city. Instead, he wanted to fight the Qin people in an upright manner under the city of Surabaya. But he also knew that if Xiang, he and Fan Zeng followed

By your side, you will naturally not let yourself

He had done this, so he simply refused to let them follow him, and instead left them in Kuaiji County. Of course, he would not tell anyone this idea. In his heart, he believed that Qin Renruo had trained them directly with him.

Chu's elite soldiers will definitely not be their opponents in a battle.

Early the next morning, as the thunderous war drums sounded, tens of thousands of Chu troops left Kuaiji under the leadership of Xiang Yu. Their hearts were full of hatred, and at the same time they were full of confidence that Xiang Yu would lead them to fight the Qin army.

, because Xiang Yu is the undefeated God of War in their minds, even though he had failed in Qin just before.

In addition to the large banner with the Chinese character Chu and the banner embroidered with the Chinese character Dou Daxiang, the banners of the army along this route also had a large banner with eight characters embroidered on it - Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed by Chu. Look.

By the time these eight characters were floating in the air, the soldiers of the Chu army seemed to have seen the Qin army falling and fleeing in front of them, and their confidence became even greater.

But what they didn't expect was that right here in Surabaya City, they would suffer the greatest defeat, because the Qin people had weapons and cavalry that were far ahead of this era.
