Gaixia, the Han army camp.

After two days of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Liu Bang's wind and cold disease has improved much.

After his health improved slightly, Liu Bang quickly found Zhang Liang and Chen Ping and secretly discussed the issue of enfeoffing the princes again. The last time he agreed to change Han Xin to King of Chu. This time he was discussing Ying Bu. Liu Bang was unwilling to grant Ying Bu the king, but Chen Ping and Zhang Liang unanimously agreed that Ying Bu should be crowned king, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public.

Although Liu Bang was a rogue in the market and had no culture, his political understanding was unmatched, and he also had an advantage that ordinary people did not have, that is, he was good at following the flow! As long as others were right and made sense, Liu Bang could correct his mistakes and correct them immediately.

After listening to Chen Ping and Zhang Liang's suggestion, Liu Bang decided to grant Ying Bu the King of Huainan.

The king and his minister were about to continue discussing the territory of Huainan Kingdom, when Xiahou Ying suddenly burst into tears.

"Xiahou Ying, what are you doing with a sad face?" Liu Bang frowned and said unhappy, "Also, who asked you to come in?"

"King!" Xiahou Ying knelt on the mat and said in tears, "Old Fan, Lao Fan is gone, howl."

"Has Lao Fan gone?" Liu Bang didn't turn his mind and said unhappy, "Where has he been? Didn't he follow Li Zuoche to fight Shouchun again..." At this point, Liu Bang's voice suddenly paused. He had already come back to his senses. He stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Xiahou Ying, and said tremblingly, "You mean, you mean, Fan Kuai..."

"Yeah, yeah." Xiahou Ying cried bitterly and said with a heavy emphasis, "He was beheaded by Xiang Zhuang."

"Ah!?" Zhang Liang, Chen Ping's face suddenly changed. Fan Kuai, the number one general of the Han army, was actually beheaded!?

Originally, Liu Bang's face was a little pale because of the cold wind, but after hearing the news of Fan Kuai being killed, Liu Bang's face turned red in an instant, and he pointed at Xiahou Ying with his right finger. Liu Bang's eyes suddenly turned black and fell backwards, and his qi and blood attacked his heart and fainted on the spot.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Xiahou Ying, Chen Ping was shocked and rushed forward to help Liu Bang up.

Xiahou Ying quickly found a doctor for the injury, pinched the man and stroked his chest and back. After a long time of struggle, he finally woke up Liu Bang. As soon as Liu Bang woke up, his eyes showed fierce light and gritted his teeth and said, "Xiang Zhuang? Child from Xiang Zhuang! A man! A man! How dare he kill my hands and feet. I, Liu Bang, and you, will never end!"

After saying that, Liu Bang struggled to stand up again and said to Xiahou Ying: "Xiahou Ying, beat the drum and gather the generals, summoned a large army, Gu, Gu, wants to personally attack Shouchun, Gu, Gu, wants to chop off the dog head of a child in Xiangzhuang with his own hands, go quickly!" Before he finished speaking, Liu Bang fell down staggeringly, and the old wounded doctor, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Xiahou Ying had a lot of trouble again.

At this moment, after being rescued, Liu Bang didn't say he wanted to personally conquer Shouchun, but began to cry loudly: "Fan Kuai, Fan Kuai, good brother, Gu's good brother, why did you leave? Gu hasn't been named a marquis for you yet, why did you leave? When you returned to Guanzhong, Gu Ke told Ah Mei, alas..."

Shouchun, the mansion of General Xiangzhuang.

The multi-lane lights placed at the four corners illuminate the entire hall as bright as day.

Xiang Zhuang knelt in the chief, Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Xiao Gongjiao, Yu Ziqi knelt in the lower left head, and Wu She and Wei Liao with a gloomy expression. Of course, Mr. Wei could not take the initiative to attend the military meeting of the Chu army. He was half-invited and half-forced by Jing Qian to come here.

Xiang Zhuang's eyes swept through everyone's faces one by one, and finally stayed on Wei Liao's face for a moment, then said: "Reward, the 50,000 general led by Li Zuoche, the general under King Han Xin of Qi, is less than fifty miles away from Shouchun. You can reach Shouchun City at noon tomorrow at the latest. Let's talk about it, how should you fight this battle?"

Huan Chu said: "What's there to say? We'll fight whatever the general said!"

Ji Bu, Xiao Gongjiao, and Yu Ziqi also nodded and agreed. In the afternoon, Xiang Zhuang's prestige had been completely established. Now, even if Xiang Zhuang gave an order to ask Ji Bu to lead his troops to die, he would never frown, because he believed that since Xiang Zhuang issued such an order, there must be his reason!

Wu She said with concern: "General, Li Zuoche is a general who is well versed in military tactics and has a good strategy. He has always been highly valued by King Han Xin of Qi. His use of troops is quite well organized, so he must not be underestimated! What's more, Li Zuoche led a large army of 50,000, and its military strength is almost ten times that of our army. If we confront each other head-on, we may be defeated but not defeated."

"Hey, sir, I'm too worried." Huan Chu waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Not to mention Li Zuoche, even if his grandfather Li Mu is reborn, I'm afraid he is not a match for the general!" After saying this, Huan Chu said again, "Besides, what about the 50,000 army? All our Chu soldiers can take one as ten, and they won't be afraid even if they come again with one hundred thousand!"

Wu She did not argue with Huan Chu when she heard this, but just shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Xiang Zhuang suddenly asked Wei Liao again, "Mr. Wei Liao, what do you think?"

"Hasn't the general made an arrangement long ago?" Wei Liao said angrily, "Why do you have to ask this more?"

"It's really impossible to hide anything from sir, haha." Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but laugh, "So sir, can the flooding strategy break Li Zuoche's army?"

Wei Liao rolled his eyes and said nothing more.

"Sir, don't say anything, that means that Li Zuoche cannot be defeated?" Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you and I make a bet. If Li Zuoche is defeated, from now on, the sir will have to give advice for my staff and the State of Chu. If Li Zuoche is defeated, the general will immediately release the sir. What?"

"I never bet with others." After Wei Liao said that, he simply turned around and ignored Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang was bored and said to Yu Ziqi again: "General Ziqi, how many days can the grain in the city last?"

Yu Ziqi quickly knelt straight, bowed and replied, "Report to General, there is still food in the city, and I can eat it for half a month!"

"Can you eat for half a month?" Xiang Zhuang nodded and said again, "Leave five days of food rations, and all the remaining food is made into dry food and taken away, and no grain is left for the Han army."

At noon the next day, the Han army arrived as scheduled.

Amid the endless sound of trumpets, flags that covered the sky and the sun slowly appeared from the eastern horizon.

Following the flags were densely packed with Han soldiers, first of which were armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and large shields, then sharp soldiers holding long halberds and light armor, then dead soldiers holding short blades and thorny clothes, and behind them were miscellaneous soldiers and husbands, extending from the city of Shouchun to the end of their vision, grounded to the sky, endless.

It was only a stone's throw from Shouchun that the Han army slowly stopped.

At the beginning of the formation flag, a team of martial soldiers rushed out loudly and stalked their feet. Then, a double-driven chariot slowly drove out of the formation surrounded by dozens of cavalry generals.

On the chariot, Li Zuo's driver held the shaft and stood proudly.

Seeing the flags on the top of Shouchun City, the halberds and spears like forests, and thousands of Chu soldiers almost crowded the top of the city, and posed as if they were facing a great enemy, Li Zuoche suddenly burst into laughter.

Jin Xu, who was following the chariot on a horse, frowned and said in confusion: "General, why are you laughing at?"

Li Zuoche stroked his long black beard under his chin and said lightly: "I laughed at Xiang Zhuang's child. Although he was a little smart and brave, he was able to defeat Fan Kuai twice. Yesterday, he even killed Fan Kuai in front of the formation. But he had never read any military books. He didn't know that Shouchun was a Jedi. If he was to defend Shouchun to the death, he would seek death!"

"The Chu army attempted to defend the city, but it really fell into a desperate situation." Jin Xi nodded and said deeply, "Our army only needs to firmly guard the four gates. The Chu army has no reinforcements outside and lacks food and grass inside. How many days can it last?"

"No." Li Zuoche waved his hand and said lightly, "Sunzi said, the encirclement army must be missing, so he can only surround three sides and one side." After that, Li Zuoche turned around and ordered his general Xiahou to vent his sword, "General Xiahou, you lead 10,000 troops to camp outside the northern gate of Shouchun. Be sure to block the way for the Chu army to break through, and you can't walk one person!"

"No!" Xiahou Ren responded with a loud bang, and immediately clicked the troops of the headquarters and rushed to the north gate.

Li Zuoche said to Jin Xi again: "General Jin Xi, you lead 20,000 troops to camp outside the southern gate of Shouchun."

"No!" Jin Xu bowed, then rode his horse and walked into the formation, clicked the 20,000 troops in the headquarters and headed to the south gate.

Watching Xiahou Ren, Jin Xu led his army to leave one after another, and Li Zuoche ordered again: "Send an order, the army will camp outside the east gate!"

At the order of Li Zuoche, 20,000 troops from the headquarters began to get busy. The military soldiers were busy unloading their armor and resting. The soldiers were busy unloading their supplies and building camp tents. The miscellaneous soldiers went to the nearby mountains to cut down trees, then carried them back to set up fences and build a viewing building. A small number of cavalry were cruising back and forth around, responsible for the alert.

Shouchun city.

Seeing the Han army divided its troops and set up camp, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sneered at the corner of his mouth. Is this an old routine that has been passed down for more than two thousand years. It's not easy to use in our Xiang Zhuang!

Gao Chu scratched his head and said in confusion: "General, why did the Han army only surround three sides?"

"You stupid guy, stupid donkey, this is called surround three que 1!" Qin Yu seized the opportunity and slapped Gao Chu's chest spoon while scolding his son, "It comes from his grandson's 'surrounding troops'. Gao Chu, you really should read military books."

"Go away." Gao Chuyi pushed Qin Yu away and said in anger, "I also want to read military books, but why can't I read? I'm not like you, I'm from a wealthy family, and someone has taught you to read since I was a child."

"Okay, can't I say it wrong?" Qin Yu said, "I will teach you how to read another day."

"This is what you said. If you don't keep your word, you won't have to do it from now on, hum!"
