Chapter 288: Being surrounded by enemies

Gaixia.

No matter how many years it goes back, this place is silent.

However, in May of the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty, silence and emptiness became the past. This Jedi located on the banks of the Tuo River was destined to be a battlefield that shocked the ages. Although Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu who retreated to Pengcheng, could fight back a few times from time to time under the pursuit of the Qin army, even if he could win a few battles, it was not enough to offset the losses caused by the war.

The four years of anti-Qin wars have made Chu a ruin with thousands of innovations. After the battle of Julu, the Western Chu that was so vigorous that it had exhausted its troops and its people were ineffective. Even if Xiang Yu enlisted all male men over fourteen years old, he could not get together to deal with the powerful Qin army.

What makes Xiang Yu more desperate than the lack of soldiers is the hearts of the people.

The successive failures greatly reduced Xiang Yu's invincible image in the minds of the elders of Chu. If Xiang Yu's prestige reached his personal peak when Julu defeated Wang Li and Zhang Han was defeated, then he had now fallen from the peak to the bottom of the valley.

Without the support of his elders, even if Xiang Yu is brave, he will not be able to win a battle. Therefore, facing the Qin General Han Xin, who is the archenemy in his life, Xiang Yu, the overlord who is powerful and powerful, could only turn his troops to the south helplessly.

He hoped to cross the Yangtze River and recruit Jiangdong's children who were loyal to the Xiang family to make a comeback. However, Ying Bu, his former capable subordinate, cut off the return of the Chu army.

May 9, the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Thirty thousand Chu troops were surrounded by Gaixia on the banks of the Tuo River. On the periphery of the Chu army, Qin General Han Xin led a 150,000 army to siege this small land.

Han Xin's generals are as many as described in history. In order to capture Xiang Yu, this time Han Xin brought all the elites in the Qin army, including Li Shang, Li Jie, Li Lie, and Luan Bu. Of course, Fu Ge, an iron-blooded prime minister who is happy to be the boss.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Yu had been worried about his strong counterattack ability, Fu Ge would have returned to Xianyang long ago. Once Xiang Yu died, there would be basically no major suspense in the war in Guandong. What Qin needs to face next is to recuperate and restore national strength to prepare for a fierce battle with the Huns.

Qin army camp.

The bonfire was brightly lit around, and the relaxed and joyful foreign landed on the soldiers' faces. Some older soldiers were even whispering, talking about the fact that they would return to their fields after the war was over and they would live a beautiful life with their wives and children. As for the young soldiers, they were disdainful. They had not yet had the addiction to making achievements on the battlefield.

This is true for ordinary soldiers, and the generals' expressions of pleasure are equally relaxed. Almost every general has a happy expression on his face, and they are all looking forward to a bright future.

In recent days, the Qin army has advanced eastward with a broken bamboo force, and all the troops and horses played triumphant songs. Even Xiang Yu's old nest Pengcheng was successfully captured by the Chu army. The facts have been clearly in front of him. As long as he works harder, the world will be unified after the victory of Gaixia. At that time, the generals who followed Fu Ge's rebellion and revolt will be granted the title of King Chenghou.

General Han Xin’s military tent.

It was very lively, gathering almost all the generals of the new Qin regime.

The reason why it is so hustle is that Fu Ge, who stayed in Pengcheng today to deal with the surrender of Zhou Yin, the Grand Marshal of Chu, brought Zhang Liang, Li Zuoche and other advisers to the military camp at Han Xin's strong request.

"Everyone, the Chu army has been besieged by our army for several days. It is estimated that the army's food and fodder is no longer enough. According to Shang's opinion, our army will only destroy the enemy on the same day. Therefore, Shang begs Fu Shuai and the general to order our troops to be the vanguard to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop-!"

As the oldest general who has followed Fu Ge for the longest time, Li Shang hoped to count the credit for the last battle as his own. Therefore, when Fu Ge arrived, he immediately asked for orders. However, before he finished speaking, the commander of the cavalry Li Lie immediately jumped up.

"Ship Fu, General, this is absolutely impossible. The Chu army has only less than 30,000. If General Li is asked to go up, there will be no place for our cavalry to appear. I have been waiting for Huan Chu and Zhou Lan to fight against those two guys. If I can't receive the order this time, I, Li Lie, have no shame to go back to see the brothers!"

After seeing the huge losses caused to his own troops by the Chu cavalry, Li Lie was always upset that he had no chance to compete with Xiang Yu's personal guard cavalry. Therefore, when he heard that Li Shang wanted to seize the merits, he certainly refused to give in.

"Ship Fu, and my department, don't forget it!"

Li Shang and Li Lie took the lead in making trouble, and the other generals stopped doing it, and they all stepped forward to volunteer to fight.

In the competition for credit, whether it was the older Li Shang, Peng Yue, Luan Bu, or the younger Li Lie and Li Xue, they all blushed and their faces were unwilling to give in.

Everyone knows how valuable Xiang Yu’s head is?

If you are lucky enough to kill the overlord Xiang Yu, the title of the overlord, the key is to promote the title and reward. The key is the arrogance in the army and the domineering arrogance that no one else can do.

Kill the Overlord, too.

For the bloody military man, you can imagine how proud you are to say this.

...

Seeing the generals who were blushing for the sake of the first merit, Fu Ge had no good way to comfort him for a while. It was obvious that he had only one contribution, and whoever grabbed him would be a great contribution. And these generals under him were all the people who were in charge. If he favored one and the other, he would inevitably make other people who had not received the credit.

"You all stop talking. If anyone else is yelling, go back to Xianyang immediately!" He was not angry and threatened. This chaotic moment really required Fu Ge to show off his boss's posture, although he was much younger than some of the generals.

Returning to Xianyang——When I heard these three words, Li Lie, Li Jie and others immediately closed their eyes. For them, it would be better to kill them if they returned to Xianyang to watch others make contributions.

"When will we fight against the Chu army, the general and I have our own responsibilities. Whatever you stay here, we will go back to our own camps to train soldiers. If Xiang Yu runs out of whose defense zone, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Speaking of this, Fu Ge's cold eyes swept across the faces of the generals one by one, and immediately made the generals who were eager to make contributions a moment ago retreat towards the door of the tent one by one, and then quietly disappeared.

"Haha, Fu Shuai still has a way! These guys have been working on me for a long time, and there is really no way. I have to invite Fu Shuai, the real god, to intimidate a group of lawless little ghosts!" Seeing that the generals who were pestering him were scolded to the point of being cursed, Han Xin was in an extraordinary mood.

"Forget it, my general, you see I have solved a big problem for you. Then tell me, how should Xiang Yu solve this problem well?"

Fu Ge came this time, one was to reward the soldiers in the army and increase morale; the other was to find out from Han Xin how long he could completely defeat the besieged Xiang Yu.

After all, the food and grass that the army needs to consume every day when expropriating foreign countries is a big burden. Guandong is already a thousand miles long, and there is no surplus grain at all. All the Qin army can do is to transport grain from Guanzhong and Bashu, and not to say that the loss is too great.

If it continues for a long time, the national strength that has finally recovered will be dragged down by the army's conquest, which Fu Ge would never want to see.

"Please rest assured that our army has gained a decisive advantage at present, the Chu army has the strength to fight hard, so the siege will continue for a while. If there is another half month, Xin predicts that the Chu army, which is exhausted, will flee. If we don't worry, we can spend more effort to successfully capture Xiang Yu's tiger in the cage." Han Xin smiled calmly and said without rushing.

"Well, half a month, it's still a little longer. If I want to destroy the fighting spirit of the Chu army, I have another trick here?" Fu Ge couldn't help but speak when he heard Han Xin not telling the way to use Chu Ge to destroy the fighting spirit of the Chu army.

"Ship Fu, what good idea is there? Tell me quickly?" Han Xin said in surprise.

"General, can we do this? Let the soldiers in the army who are familiar with the customs of Chu learn some slang songs from Chu and sing to the Chu camp. After hearing these songs of missing their relatives in their hometown, the Chu soldiers will definitely have no intention of fighting. This may speed up their defeat--." Fu Ge's face turned red and hesitated with shame.

This idea was originally thought of by Han Xin, but now his descendant uses the other party's ideas to teach it. It's really shameless.

"Good solution! Fu Shuai is really talented and talented, why didn't I expect it?" Han Xin slapped his high-high excitedly, his face filled with infinite joy.

The Qin soldiers have already sieged the ground and are surrounded by enemies!

The Qin generals were blushing for whom they could win great credit. For them, the time before their victory was undoubtedly the most difficult to resist. However, compared to the Chu army surrounded by Gaixia, the grievances of these Qin generals were nothing.

In the Chu Camp in Gaixia, the injured soldiers did not apply medicine to treat the wound, so they could only let the wound ulcerate and let the injured soldiers die due to infection.

The situation of the soldiers who were still intact was not much better. The military rations had been cut off for three days. Yesterday, the Overlord ordered the killing of a group of war horses to fill their stomachs, which at least made the hungry soldiers who had been for many days a little bit of meat.

But what happens when the war horse is also killed?
