Qiang Qin

Wang Hou didn't expect that Fusu would rely on his own things to help, and he was very proud in his heart, saying: "If the prince wants to borrow something, as long as the subordinate has it, the subordinate will definitely give it to the prince."

Fusu looked at his simple and honest face and said: "Wang Hou, I know you are a loyal person, so I entrusted the army's food and grass to you to manage, but you used power to seek personal gain and embezzled our army's food and grass. I am really ashamed of you What trust in you. Come on, kill this man who made our soldiers unable to eat!" After speaking, Fusu's voice suddenly increased.

Wang Hou was dumbfounded all of a sudden, looking at Fusu speechless, he couldn't even utter the word "wronged".Before the soldiers entered the account, Fusu softly said to the king: "Now only if you put all the responsibilities on you, then the soldiers will not be fed up with the law and cause civil strife. Otherwise, I am afraid that the hard work in the past few months will be paid. It’s all over, Wang Hou, sacrifice yourself for our great cause, after taking Xianyang, I will make proper arrangements for your wife and children.” As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers came in and tied Wang Hou up. He was so strong, just as he was about to complain, one of them stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, so Wang Hou could only whimper endlessly.

Fusu led Wang Hou out of the big tent, and said to the soldiers outside: "It has been found out that Wang Hou, the grain officer, used his authority to remove the grain from our army, and then privately sent the soldiers to the army when the grain was not enough. His rations were halved, which made it impossible for the soldiers to eat enough, and greatly damaged our army's combat power. I had no choice but to execute him in public and find someone to go to another place to collect rations, and I hope the soldiers will not make noise." He gestured. Bind Wang Hou in front of the crowd, and after giving an order, cut off his head and hung it outside Dazhai.

Fusu's action really calmed down the grievances of the soldiers. They also knew that the army's food stock was not enough, so they had to endure it first.Moreover, Fusu gained a fair and strict reputation in this way, and the soldiers believed in him even more.After the crowd dispersed, Fusu walked into his big tent, sent everyone out, then knelt down facing the direction where Wang Hou's head was hanging, and said, "Wang Hou, today I have no choice but to I can kill you and put the responsibility on you, but one day I will rehabilitate you. Rest in peace!" Having said that, Fusu kowtowed three times in that direction.

After watching the scene just now, Han Xin understood Fusu's intentions. He asked Wang Hou to give less food, and then put all the blame on him. There will be no more complaints against Fusu.And the next food will be distributed according to the amount of the previous days, which can delay the trouble caused by the shortage of food and grass for a few days, and Fusu may have captured Xianyang in these few days, or find it from other places. Here comes the food emergency.After Han Xin figured this out, he had a deeper understanding of Fusu's views, and at the same time felt a sense of fear for the first time in his heart. "Perhaps this is the reason why he can become the leader of one party and I can only be a general." Han Xin sighed softly.

It was almost night, and the barracks fell into complete silence. The soldiers who had fought for a day fell asleep in their tents exhaustedly. Except for the sentinels who were walking around in front of the village and between the tents, there was no one else walking around.At this time, Zhang Liang, dressed in a light robe, came slowly to Fusu's main tent, and walked in after asking that Fusu was still asleep.Fusu looked at Zhang Liang who had come at Kuiye, and asked, "Why is Zifang here?" Zhang Liang looked at Fusu for a long time before asking, "Prince, excuse me, the army is short of food this time. Is it really because Wang Hou used his power for personal gain?"

Fusu was startled at first, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face and said: "It seems that I can hide the truth from the whole army, but I can't hide it from you. It's true, the lack of food in the army is not because of Wang Hou, but because Because Shangjun was besieged and the food and grass were transported here. But if the soldiers are told the truth, it may cause the army's morale to be shaken, so I have to come up with this bad policy."

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "For the sake of the overall situation, the prince's actions are also right, but this is really too unfair to Wang Hou. I also know that this person has always been cautious and diligent in doing things, but now... hey." Zhang Liang didn't finish his sentence, and finally he just let out a sigh.

Fusu also had an apologetic expression on his face, and then he asked again: "Is Zifang only here for Wang Hou's matter?"

Zhang Liangdao: "I still have something to discuss with the prince. In my opinion, Xianyang City is not so easy to conquer, and our army has insufficient food and grass. If we can't find another way, I'm afraid our army will be in trouble. "

"Presumably Zifang already has a solution to this crisis, right?" Fusu regained his spirits immediately after hearing this, and said, "If that's the case, then you should speak out and see if you can take Xianyang down."

Zhang Liangdao: "This is just because our army is short of food. As long as the Qin soldiers guarding the city know that our army is short of food and their morale is weak, they will withdraw in a few days, and the morale of the Qin army will be high. And in those few days Our army is attacking Xianyang slowly to make them more sure that our army is about to retreat. If we attack with all our strength when the Qin army has no defenses, the Qin army will inevitably be in chaos, and this city of Xianyang will be much easier to break."

Fusu nodded while listening and said: "As the saying goes, the enemy's heart is the first thing to do. Your plan first gave the Qin army hope, and then let them down, thus damaging their confidence. It is indeed a good plan. Now I am There is only enough food and grass in the army for a few days, so how can we afford it?”

Zhang Liang turned pale and said: "Although I am in the army, the lack of food is not too serious, but unexpectedly it has come to this. Is there a way for the prince to go to other places to raise food and grass?"

Fusu said: "I have already sent people to Sanchuan and other counties to raise food, but I don't know if we can get food. If it succeeds, then this plan can be tried. If not, we will gather all the people for the final attack It's over." The two discussed until midnight, but they couldn't find a real solution, so they had to give up in the end.

"Emperor, there is a head hanging from the Dazhai of the Fusu Army. According to our secret work, he is the food officer of the Fusu Army. It is." A general guarding the city said.Ziying was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "There is such a thing? But I found out, is the news accurate?"

"It's absolutely true. Now I heard that the soldiers of Fusu have started to strike, and my soldiers guarding the city also found that the attack of Fusu army is obviously not as good as it was a few days ago."

"If you don't eat enough, those soldiers can't attack the city with all their strength. God helped me." Ziying laughed and said, "Pass my order, let people always pay attention to the movements of the Soviet army, and if there is anything wrong, report to the Soviet Union immediately." I will report." At this time Ziying seems to have found a way to defeat the Fusu army, as long as he takes advantage of the fact that the Fusu army is short of food and sends troops to attack him, Fusu will surely be defeated.

But just when Ziying and Fusu thought that the army would be short of food, food had already been brought in from Sanchuan and Hedong counties.When Fusu took down these two cities, it was summer, so the wheat in the fields was not yet ripe, and the people had food to eat, so when Fusu opened the warehouse, nine out of ten people went to collect grain.Unexpectedly, although the war is going on this year, the weather is very good, and the two counties have a bumper harvest.The people in the two cities did not have to hand over most of the harvest to the government as before, so this time their homes were full of grain.When the people were about to make wine from these surplus grains, people from Fusu arrived.Their purpose was to find a few rich families to borrow some food to tide over the difficulties, but when the people in the city heard about this, they spontaneously handed over all the surplus food in their homes to them, and some even spontaneously asked those The soldiers who came to borrow food suggested that they should help them transport the food to Xianyang City.

In fact, this is also the benefit of Fusu's kindness to the people some time ago, and now the people in the two cities have completely recognized Fusu as their master.Knowing that once Fusu failed to attack Xianyang, that Ziying and other Qin officials would still rule over them, not only would life not be easy for him in the future, but also someone would accuse them of treason, and their wealth and lives would be at stake.Now that they figured this out, they decided to follow Fusu. As long as he can completely overthrow that brutal regime, then their good days will come.

A few days later, hundreds of carts of various types were ready, including ox carts, donkey carts, horse carts, and even carts pulled by ordinary people instead of animals.The general who came to raise food had already sent a flying horse to report to Fusu.

When Fusu received the good news, he couldn't help but say, "It's God's blessing. The morale of our army will definitely be boosted in this way." Then he came to his senses again, and said to everyone who knew the good news, "Now Don’t let the matter out, maybe we can use this matter to trick the Qin army guarding Xianyang, and it will be much easier to take down Xianyang City.”

Everyone hurriedly agreed.Fu Su was also very fortunate, if he hadn't learned the trick from Cao A in the novel and deceived all the soldiers, the army might have collapsed before the food from Sanchuan and Hedong counties arrived.So Fusu's eyes turned to the head above Dazhai, and he cupped his fists and bowed to him again: "Wang Hou, if you exchange your life for the lives of many soldiers, your spirit in heaven will also get it." I am comforted. After taking Xianyang, I, Fusu, will definitely bury you in a magnificent manner, and take you to live in Xianyang with your wife and children, so that they will have food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

As soon as the food problem was solved, Fusu's eyes were fixed on the tall and solid Xianyang city wall again. Apart from using the current form to trick the Qin army out, Fusu was still thinking of other ways. Had to think otherwise.
