Chapter 3

Guling, Han army camp.

General Pan Kuai excitedly walked into the central army's tent and reported to the Han King Liu Bang who was drinking in the tent: "King, hurry up and report, Han Xin defeated the Chu army and beheaded more than 80,000 yuan. Xiang Yu led only 20,000 yuan to retreat to the camp. Liang Wang Peng Yue, Jiujiang Wang Yingbu and Liu Jia, Zhou Yin have also led his troops to the battlefield, and the Chu army is over!"

"Oh?" Liu Bang paused the wine cup that he sent to his mouth and said in surprise, "Is the Chu army defeated so quickly?"

"Yeah, I'm defeated!" Pan Kuai said with a close focus, "This kid Han Xin can just fight, it's so fucking good!"

"I understand, you go down first." Liu Bang waved his hand, stepped back from Pan Kuai, and then fell into a long silence.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, the adviser who were drinking next to him, also closed their mouths tacitly. Both of them were wise men, so naturally they could guess that Liu Bang was probably very depressed at this moment. Thinking about it, Liu Bang personally led 200,000 Han troops to pursue 100,000 Chu troops, but was defeated by Xiang Yu in turn and almost destroyed the entire army.

But what about Han Xin? He led 400,000 Qi troops to the battlefield. Before he had time to breathe, he defeated the Chu army in one battle and beheaded more than 80,000. Compared with the two, Liu Bang and Han Xin were really a judgment. At present, although the Chu army was in a predicament, the contribution of the Chu army was all Han Xin, and it seemed that there was no big deal with him Liu Bang.

Moreover, with Han Xin defeating the Chu army, an even more difficult problem arises. How should Liu Bang reward Han Xin? Han Xin is now the King of Qi, and now he defeats the Chu army and makes great achievements. How should Liu Bang reward him? Could it be that he was appointed as the emperor? Han Xin became the emperor, and did he become Han Xin's minister instead?

Subconsciously touched the two beautiful mustaches on his lips, and murderous intent appeared in Liu Bang's heart.

Zhang Liang was very insightful about Liu Bang's dark psychology at this moment, but he believed that the time to eliminate King Han Xin of Qi was not ripe. He immediately advised: "King, although the Chu army was defeated, there were still 20,000 remaining troops, and they did not completely lose their combat effectiveness. Moreover, the two counties in Jiangdong have not yet been pacified, so Xiang Yu still has a chance to make a comeback!"

Liu Bang was silent and said after a while: "Zifang, what do you think should you do now?"

Zhang Liang said: "The most urgent task is to destroy Xiang Yu's remnants as soon as possible, and then send generals to pacify Chu!"

Chen Ping said: "The Chu army was still fighting with beasts, and the soldiers fought desperately. It would be difficult to destroy them in an urgent manner."

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said to Liu Bang: "Liang has a plan, which can destroy the fighting spirit of the Chu army without any effort."

Chu army camp.

It was late at night and Xiang Zhuang pressed his sword hilt and was patrolling silently in the camp.

Looking around, you can see wounded soldiers sitting or lying everywhere. Most of them look numb and dull. Many of them are even moaning moans. From time to time, soldiers die quietly and then quickly are carried away. No one is chatting or joking. The air is filled with depression and sadness, which is almost suffocating.

In the distance, Xiang Yu's central army tent was still brightly lit, and you could still hear the sad tune of the sage.

Xiang Zhuang could easily imagine the situation in the big tent, a graceful figure dancing in the desolate sound of the treacherous murmur. It was Yu Ji, a famous beauty in history and Xiang Yu's most beloved concubine. Even when he was marching and fighting, Xiang Yu always brought her by his side and never let her leave him for a moment.

#############

Xiang Yu's central army tent.

Two singing girls were holding guns and playing sadly. The unique deep, sad, sad and lingering tones of the guns were echoing repeatedly in the tent, making people feel broken.

On the carpet in the middle of the tent, Yu Ji was dancing to the sad tune of the utensil.

In the north of the tent, Xiang Yu knelt on the desk, holding a wine cup in his hand, looking sad, as if infected by the sad tone of the instrument, and as if he was remembering the 80,000 Chu soldiers who died in battle during the day.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup of water, then drew his sword and stood up.

Seeing this, Yu Ji quickly stopped her dance steps, lowered her head and stepped back. Xiang Yu strode to the middle of the tent, stretched his finger and bounced heavily on the sword. The big sword made of fine iron suddenly made a "ding" sound. Before the sound of the sword was dissipated, Xiang Yu whispered sadly: "Strength is to pull the mountains and the energy is vast. Time is not good, and the horse will not pass away. What can you do if you don't pass away."

After chanting here, Xiang Yu suddenly stopped and then turned around and looked at Yu Ji who was standing beside the tent.

Seeing that Yu Ji's beauty was as beautiful as ever, and her delicate body was as light and tender as ever, Xiang Yu suddenly felt an indescribable sadness and melancholy in his heart. While shaking his head, he continued to sing in an inexplicable tone: "What can you do if you don't leave? Yu Xi Yu Xi is what you do! Yu Xi is what you do..."

Before he knew it, Xiang Yu's eyes were filled with crystal tears. When Yu Ji saw it, he couldn't help but feel like a knife. After tears fell like rain, he cried and said in tears: "King, Yu Ji is your person, and death is your ghost. If you are alive, Yu Ji will accompany you. If you are alive, Yu Ji will accompany you in the nine springs, and will never abandon each other for generations."

"Yu Ji!" Xiang Yu suddenly opened his arms, and Yu Ji immediately cried and threw himself into Xiang Yu's arms.

Seeing the two of them crying in embrace each other, the two singers playing the instrument next to them couldn't help but cry. For a moment, the entire tent was filled with miserable mist.

#############

Outside the Chu army camp, a faint singing suddenly floated under the distant night sky, but the popular Jiangdong folk song "Yueren Song":

What's the evening? The boat flows

When will I be able to ship with the prince today

Being shameful and not being shameful

I was so upset that I learned that the prince was

There are trees on the mountain and branches on the tree. I am happy to you but I don’t know

Listening to the familiar Jiangdong accent and the sad folk songs of his hometown, the Chu army soldiers were all sad.

In the darkness, I don’t know who started singing along. Soon, more Chu soldiers joined the ranks of singing. In less than a moment, the entire Chu army camp was completely filled with sadness and resentful Chu songs. Thinking that when fighting outside, they might not be able to return to their hometown in this life, the Chu army soldiers couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Xiangzhuang, who was inspecting the military camp, was shocked and surrounded by enemies. I think this is the legendary enemy surrounded by enemies!

If measures are taken continuously and such a situation continues to spread, the fighting spirit of the 20,000 remnants of the Chu army will soon collapse. With the morale of the army, the Chu army will definitely have a large-scale desertion phenomenon. At that time, the coalition forces did not need to launch an attack at all. Just sit still, the Chu army will collapse on its own.

No wonder historical records show that at the last moment of the Battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu led only 800 cavalry to surround him!

It seems that it was not Xiang Yu who abandoned his "100,000 army", but the "100,000 army" who abandoned Xiang Yu. Amid the crying and complaining, the remaining Chu soldiers who retreated to the camp had completely lost their fighting spirit and took advantage of the night to become deserters. By the time Xiang Yu discovered that, there were only the most loyal 800 people left by his side!

No, this tragedy must be prevented from happening again!

However, how easy is it to stop Chu Ge's proliferation?

Xiangzhuang can stop the Chu army soldiers from singing together, but cannot stop the coalition forces of various countries outside!

Break through the siege, while the remnants of the Chu army have not yet been disintegrated and the fighting spirit has not completely collapsed, we must break through overnight and break through immediately. We cannot stay at the barriers at Gaixia for a moment!

With a decision in his heart, Xiang Zhuang immediately turned around and strode towards Xiang Yu's central army tent.

On the left side of the central army's tent, a large bronze drum was erected. It was Xiang Yu's gathering drum. Without any hesitation, Xiang Zhuang strode forward and picked up heavy solid wood drumsticks.

The guards guarding next to the Gai General Drum were shocked to see this and rushed forward to stop him and said, "Three Generals, no!"

"Get out!" Xiang Zhuang kicked the guard away without saying anything, then waved the drumstick and knocked it hard.

In an instant, the low and powerful drum sounded like raindrops. In the Chu army camp, whether it was Xiang Yu who was holding his head and crying with Yu Ji, Yu Ziqi, Zhonglimei, Xiao Gongjiao and other Chu generals who were drinking to drown their sorrows, or the Chu army remnants immersed in their homesickness, they were all alarmed.

"Who is beating the drum?" Xiang Yu's majestic body as mist as mountain mist had already strided out.

Seeing that it was Xiang Zhuang playing the drum, Xiang Yu couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise: "Third brother, what are you doing?"

"Brother Wang, don't do anything, be prepared to break through!" Xiang Zhuang abandoned the drumstick and said sternly, "Break through immediately!"

#############

Qi army camp.

Han Xin was in the central army's tent and was drinking with the Han King's special envoy Zhang Liang.

Listening to the tears of Chu Ge outside the tent, Han Xin couldn't help but give Zhang Liang a thumbs up and praise: "Sir, I am a god. The strategy of being surrounded by enemies is almost as powerful as that of a hundred thousand troops."

"The king is too good." Zhang Liang smiled and said modestly, "What a mere trick to be aware of."

After saying that, Zhang Liang said again: "It's the king, I guess he has made some arrangements for how to destroy the Chu army?"

Han Xin smiled slightly and clapped his hands again. Two guards had already lifted one screen to the center of the tent, and hung another map of mountains, rivers and rivers onto the screen.

Han Xin stood up, walked slowly to the screen, and then pointed to the screen and said, "I have set up a ten-side ambush between Gaixia and Wujiang. If the Chu army goes south, the entire army will inevitably be defeated!"

"Oh, ambushing from all sides?" Zhang Liang said slightly, "I hope to hear the details."

Han Xin smiled and said, "On the first side, General Kong Xi has led 3,000 elite troops to the upper reaches of Tuo River overnight to build a dam to block the water; on the second side, General Chen He has led 3,000 elite troops to Luoshi Gorge to set up an ambush; on the third side, General Cao Shen has led 500 elite troops to set up an ambush to Wild Horse Original... On the tenth side, General Guan Ying has led 5,000 cavalry to the middle road, ready to support all departments at any time."

"Miracle, wonderful!" After listening to Han Xin's explanation, Zhang Liang was amazed, "There are only three routes to go back to Jiangdong from Gaixia. The king set up three ambushings on each route, and with the five thousand Guanying cavalry as the final support, with these ambushings on ten sides, it would be fine if the Chu army did not return to Jiangdong. If it returns, it would be absolutely dead. The king's use of troops is amazing."
